Postal Telegraphy.

We give below synopsis of the bill
known as the Hubbard Postal Telegraph
Scheme, which provides for the incorpo-
ration of a private company TO perform
the work of postal biography under con-
tract with the PostmasterG General. 1t
will be seen that the scheme contemplates
a material extension Of the advantages of
modern telegraphy, by largely diminish
ing its cost, and by encouraging its use
In business correspondence, and to that
extent relieving the mails Of heavy
burden. The plan contemplates no
additional expense to the department, and
seems to carefully provide for the regula-
ton of charges, etc:
Section provides that the Postmaster.
General shall establish telegraph offices
at all Postofflces on telegraphic Circuits,
and at all other Postoffices within ten
miles of any circuit where the salary of
the Postmaster IL not less than $500 per
annum, and at such other places as, In
his Judgment, the wants ofihe public may
require.
Section 2 provides that the charges for
the transmission Of kilograms, excepting
service and Government kilograms, shall
be prepaid by stamps anc at the follow
ing rates for kilograms Of twenty words
or less When the distance of transmits
