The Western Union and other tele-
graph companies. The Union, being
n member of the Associated Press
monopoly. which is a dependent, as it
were, of the telegraph monopoly, is
too interested an advocate of the lat
ter institution to be relied on. As to
Wells. it his It ~itiStics of telegraph
operations are as fictitious and unreli-
able as those contained in his report
upon the condition of the national
finances, made during the late Presi-
dental campaign, he is not u trust
worthy witness. He maintains that
there has been a constant reduction of
telegraph rates. in every year since
the Western Union company COM
menced operations. Even if this he
true. it only proves how much the
people have been swindled, for the
rates are ever now enormously
high, and out of all proportion
to the value OF the service
rendered. Wells also says that
the Government could neither
buy the existing telegraph lines nor
du. licate them for any less sum than
$50, 00o. 900 or so, 900. 900. In this he
makes a direct issue with the Post.
master General, whose estimate places
the cost OF duplicating the lines at
Sl1 500, 600. A. vast difference truly 4;
but no greater than that which Mr..
Wells made between Secretary Bout
wells fiscal statement and his own,
about II year ago. Wells also fears
that the absorption OF the telegraph
by the Government will tend to in
crease the burden Of taxation, and
promote corruption at elections, and
arbitrary espionage into private bust
ness, etc. With reference to the ef-
feet Of government telegraph i'll pro-
noting corruption of the electors,
the influence OF the Government in
that direction would be no greater
than it is now, in the dispensing OF
otlici Il patronage and, to say the
least, this objection by Mr.. Wells is
rather demagogical. Espionage OF
:he business of private individuals is
now possible in the manipulation of
the telegraph by private persons.
1t could be no worse in the
hands of the National Government.
AZ the same time, the Government
would have in its power a valuable
means OF detecting frauds upon the
revenue, Of arresting criminals, etc.
During the late war, the telegraph, in
the hands of government operators,
WAS OF immense service: and the eX-
pcrience gained of its value in such
an emergency ought to satisfy any
II acquainted with the facts that the
Government should own an extern
sive line of telegraph, ven at the
risk OF Il competition with private
lines in the transmission of messages,
similar to that encountered for so
many years with the express COM
panies by the Postoi1ice Department.
The Sacramento Union is an advocate
for the taking possession of the con-
tinental railroad by the Government,
on account of the non-rayment Of IL
terest; yet it sees less reason for the
absorption Of the telegraph than for
assuming control of the railroad. The
UIaion'a connection with the Associated
Press, and its dependence upon and
engagements with the Western Union
Telegraph Company, sufficiently ac-
count for its course on the subject of
a postal telegraph.

the following: Pins are very useful.

astonished teachers questions as tothe
manner in which the lives OF SO many
people had been saved through the
in trumentality of pins, the boy i'll
nocently remarked, Why. by not
swallowing them" This reasoning
exactly corresponds to that of the
advocates of vaccination as a rrophy-
tactic. a certain number of persons
are vaccinated. and a certain other
number do not take the smallpox.
Therefore, reason the doctors, vaccin-
alton saves men from death by that
disease.

The stream will not rise high

responsible for the salary grab
than Bingham. The President
could have vetoed the whole

ally to rise and say that we never res

And now, Mr.. Mr.. Mackley, we will
tell you why we did not pitch into Capt.
W. when you said that he had stated
to you in effect that ho had given mon.
ey TO all the papers Of the district for
corrupt purposes. Because we thought
your story was little play for just that
thing on our part that we did not be.
lieve that he ever made the statement,
aud your language is so constructed
that at the proper time you could crawl
ont of it, on the plea that you did not
say in direct wOrds-while you did
leave the impression, of corruption.
We will say further, that we consider
your insinuation that you could a
wondrous tale of corruption unfold re-
aectipg upon your cotsmporaries, is a
base slander. We know it is 80 far as
this paper is concerned, and we invite
you to withdraw your charge or give
