LEASE OF A TELEGRAPH LINE.-On Tuesday
last, in New York, the lease of the Information
al Telegraph Line to the Western Union Com
pany, for a period of ninety-nine years, was
consummated. 1t is understood that proviso
has been incorporated in the lease that the
rates ON the International wires shall not be in
creased above the present tariff The Interna-
tional Company had its origin in a short local
line on the eastern coast of Maine in 1866, es
tablished by Mr.. A. d. Brown, the late manager
An attempt was afterwards made to procure a
charter for company to do general business,
but it was resisted with vigor by the American
Telegraph Company, the predecessor of the
Western Union, and a sharp fight took place at
Augusta in 1866, in which some of the most en-
inent legal gentlemen of the State took part.
The friends of the new charter prevailed, and
the lines were gradually extended until at the
present time about 500 miles of wire is stretch
ed east of Boston, with chartered rights in New
England and Canada not yet made use Of
These will add greatly to the extent and eff
cheney of the Western Union Company in this
section of the country The business has beer
built up by Mr.. Brown, by unwearied exer
tons and a systematic and liberal policy, ant
the business has been conducted as Legitimate
enterprise, in the interests of the public, and t.
earn, if possible, a fair dividend for the stock
holders Mr. Brown we learn has accepted
position in the Western Union Company for on
year, and he will bring to the new duties tn
same energy that he exhibited in the manage
ment of the affairs of the International Com
pany. Ht rtE..
