The mild term of "disquietude" which
the cabegrams Indicate as existing in
London, is hardly the correct form of
expression to use in connection with the
recent disastrous failures. In Septem-
Der, '73, the English journals were CIV
ing their American cousins long lectures
on dishonest practices" confidence
games and public insecurity" They
can now take down their old files, and
go to reprinting with slight alteration
in the verbiage. 1t is to be hoped, how
ever, that for the sake of trade general
panic will not ensue, though the indica-
tons at present are rather adverse.

An Act Of Congress, approved March
Sd, 1875. appropriated $780, for the
construction of telegraph line from
Santa Fe, New Mexico. to Camp Grant,
Arizona. General Meyer, Chief Signal
Officer u. S. A.-better known AS "Old
Prob"-has entire charge and control of
the project. He now has corps of
practical intelligent men under his super
vision, and proposes to extend the limits
of the enterprise, 50 as to run the line
through to San Diego, Cal. The great
advantages resulting from this communi-
cation are apparent. 1t will be of course
a military telegraph, built, owned and
operated by Uncle Sam. 1t is expected
that after the line is built and fully
equipped, the toll on the civilian dis.
patches, etc., will be sufficient to keep it
in repair. We have rarely heard of any
project on the part of the Government
so well calculated to promote the well
fare and interests of any part of the
country, and such action is worthy Of
the highest praise and commendation

the Editor Of the Spirit is sufficiently able
to take care of himself, particularly in q
