The London Daily Telegraph deals at consider
able length with the subject Of cheap posta re,
and argues that the annual deficit in our postal
revenue Is attributable to the fact that we are
essentially telegraphing, rather than a writ
Ing people; and states that, If the proportion Of
kilograms to letters be closely scanned, it will
be found that, in spite Of the cheapness'of post
age and the dearness of electricity, more wire
messages and fewer letters are relatively sent
In the United States than in any other great
civilized nation. 1t commends the abolition of
the ranking privilege, and encourages Mr.
C<eswell in his determination to make the post
ONCE both self supporting and remunerative;
but thinks that, owing to the national high
pressure nature, and our enormous extent of
territory, the post-office has little chance of
competing successfully with the telegraph,
especially in view Of the fact that the telegraph
corporations have an unlimited power IN the
lobbies Of Congress. The only remedy it sees is
apersistent onslaught upon private telegrsphy,
and for the state to work the wires no less than
the post.

This is the way the Trans-Alleghany Canal
CONVENTION strikes the BALTIMORE American.

This is the way the Trans-Alleghany Canal
convention strikes the Baltimore American.
"Some enthusiastic gentlemen who are in
favor Of now completing the original design of
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, which was to
carry 1t through to q connection with the Ohio
river, yesterday assembled in convention at
Cumberland, and listened to a vast amount OF
eloquence, logic and statistics upon the subject
1t was conclusiyely proven to the satisfaction
OF every one that such an enterprise Is impera-
lively demanded by the welfare of MARYLAND
and pennsylvania, and that the whole west has
the most intimate concern In opening a wate-
communication with the Atlantic coast as a
means OF cheap transportation. The coal, the
IRON, and the farming interests were all paraded
10 nelp the argument, and having irresistibly
established 1t the convention, of course, grayely
resolved that the general government must do
the work and pay the bill. A committee was
appointed TO besiege Congress, and the conven-
ton adjourned with q serene faith in the future
This project seems 30 have been revived only
recently, but the standing and influence Of
the members OF the convention is evidence that
they are In earnest, although IL there Is any
thing unlikely to happen 1t Is that any future
Congress will be rash enough to hand $50 900, 900
over to private enterprise. The canal mania
viii snbside presently, and people now bitten
with 1t viii turn to more legitimate labors."
