tho average character Of public officers il as
low as it is now, the confidence of tho people

tho average character of public officers ia as
low as it is now, the confidence of tho people
under Government telegraph system would
be Systematically violated. In times of polit-
ical excitement, opponents of the party in
power would be practically debarred from tho
use of the wires for political purposes, because
they could never trust them. Opposition news
papers could not communicate freely with
their correspondents, and the press generally
would get no intelligence which the authori-
tics saw fit to suppress. And then imagine
what the result would be when the Govern
ment began to watch the telegraph Office Z" for
the better protection of the revenue" and
every importer became subject to perpetual
inspection of his private correspondence.
IL is one Of the rarest of incidents nOw-a-
days for the secrecy Of the telegraph office to
be violated. There are two reasons for this.
In the first place the business in the United
States is very well managed-much more
efficiently than any Government business could
be-and in tho second place the companies are
liable in damages for any wrong to their GUS
toners. But if the post-ofice loses letter.
or sends it to wrong address, or detains it,
the sufferer has no redress whatever; and
there would be none for blunders aud dis
honesty in postal telegraphy.
New-York tribune., 1874-02-10
The TELEGRAPH AND THE MAILS.

Ia the trial of an English election petition
the other day the post-offce authorities were
required to produce the kilograms which had
passed between certain persons during the
election. clerk accordingly attended with
"a sackful " of tho desired documents, but
refused to give them up without an order of
the court The Judge took three days for
consultation and reflection, and then declined
to interfere. " His l0rdship said he did not
intend to go into the reason for this decision,
because he had no wish to say that cases
might not arise where strong specific grounds
might justify the interpOsitiOn of the election
Judge" The demand was not pressed, and
the kilograms were not read The inquiry ia
now raised why kilograms should not be held
IA sacred as letters, and protected absolutely
against the espionage which they seem to
have narrowly escaped on this occasion.
The increasing use of the telegraph az q
substitute for the post gives this question
considerable importance in this country as
well as in England. There Is no good reason
why the correspondence which IS sent by
wire should be any less sacred than the cOrre-
spondence which is sent by rail but the law
on the subject is in very unsatisfactory
state, and nothing but the fear OF public
odium protects the telegraph office now from
legal nquistions. We have proof that the
mails have occasionally been tampered with
by Custom house officers, and newspaper
holding intimate relations with the Admins
tration calmly told us the other day that the
Government had under consideration more
complete system of post-ofiice espionage for
the protection of the revenue. What would

When the yellow fever was at its hight in Shreve-
port two telegraph operators were among the vic
tins of the disease Ii was Of matter Of the
graves consequence to the afflicted city to keep open
its communication with the rest of the world, and
fortunately among the employees Of the Western
Union Company there was abundant gallantry and
self-sacriice to meet the emergency -Four men vol
unteered to fill the places of their fallen comrades
No pecunary reward was offered for the dangerous
service but something of the same heroism which
anmates forlorn hope must have filled the breasts
of these courageous men as they fastened to the
post of peril. Such incidents, perhaps, are not un
common in this country where bravery is one Of the
national virtues but nevertheless we are always
quick to honor them. Of two of the volunteers,
Davis and Buchanan. we know nothing. A third,
Savie, died at his duty. fourth met still more
melancholy fate, for, while he was Drawing death
for the sake Of the distressed, he robbing the
Company and squandering the money in barrooms
and gambling hells The history of such man
reads like tissue of contradictions. But the truth
probably is that he hoped to conquer bad habits and
strong temptations by one act of heroism. and his
strength failed him.

How far has our street cleaning force de-
teriorated from the Indifferent standard OF last
yeari The late snoW-storm makes TIE ques-
ton practical one. After some kind OF
fashion, the frequent snow-falls of last winter
were removed from our main thoroughfares'
This year a single snow seems to paralySe the
force. Even Broadway was yesterday In an
almost impossible state, and the warfare De-
tween the street railroad and the private
citizens who absurdly imagine that they also
have some rights in the streets, was every
where else free and promiscuOus.
Mr.. Dawes Is quite right in supposing that
there is q general desire for short SESSIONS
1t is no compliment to our National states
men, but there Is no doubt that people
breathe easier when Congress Is out OF the
way. Nevertheless Mr. Beck had reason
in his protest against premature declarations,
that on an early fixed day Congress will ad-
iourn. And there is certain force in the
additional suggestion that, when Con-
gressmen are literally paid by the
year, they ought at least to take time
to make their work consistent and intelli-
gent, Inc mass OF antique inconsloIohCioo
and recent crudties of special legislation on
the whole question, for instance, lof imported
goods, as elucidated elsewhere this morning,
is an illustration of the slipshod sort OF work
we generally get.
Our dispatches show that the Temperance
Crusade in Ohio is gaining IN intensity and
force. The women who have been sweeping
the whisky shops of the smaller towns
with their bosom of destruction are
turning their attention to the moro popuous
centers The cities, 1T is thought, will try the
faith and nerve of these ardent apostles of
the new dispensaton. But their success so
far has been unexampled. Some such
movement was begun in this State tif-
teen or twenty years ago, and 1T
was reasonably successful. In Illinois
also few towns, inspired by that
example, were moved in the same manner to
pray down the rumsellers. But no such wide
spread and fervent revival of religion and
temperance as this has been witnessed of late
in any part of the United States. The cause
commands the sympathy of vast multitudes; !;
if the effects of the crusade are permanent, 1t
may well take its place among the notable
reforms of modern times

Mr. Alvcrd has introduced in the Assembly
an important bill to provide for the better
security of the State funds by a reorganiza-
ton of the Treasury service. The late con-
troyersy over the Phelps defalcation shows
that some revision of the law is needed The
present law, to be sure, was allowed to be-

There are rumors OF an impending mammoth
musical celebration at Philadelphia during the year
of the Centennial-a gathering of singing societies
from all the ends of the continent and bands from
every city in tho land. all to perform together in
new colosseum on the plan Of the celebrated sheds
erected in Boston by Mr.. p. s. Gilmore. We hope
there will be nothing Of the kind. The frst Jubilee
in Boston was measurably successful because it
a novelty. The second was failure. Both of them

bombast and exaggeration said to be characteristic
