Eastern Dispatches

New YORK, Sept. 2. - President Or
ton of the Western Union Telegraph Co.,
speaking in connection with the propo-
sition of consolidation with the Atlantic
& Pacific Telegraph Co., said that nego-
tiatious were made in which the cousoli-
dation to all appearances is entirely
broken off He says the statement that
it was ne intention OF the managers OF
the Western Union &c, to advance rates
to the West AL a!ses Neis wholly in
correct. The rates fo,(who,e country
are based on air line distances, and
gradually increase with distance, until
they reach 50 50, which is the maximum
price for ten word message to any part
of the United States that is reached by
our wires. | have no desire to do very
large business between distant points at
the same price for message that is
charged for short distances, but have
great ambition to be able to send mes
sages to any part of the United States at
a cost in no case greater than one dollar,
The Western Union can reduce rates to
the price mentioned sooner if il can have
the whole telegraph business of the
country under its control than if its
plans are INSTRUCTED by the interference
of competing lines.
CHICAGO, Sept. 2. A Washington
special says that the Indian Commission
appointed to investigate the charges
against Secretary Delano, has left St.
LOFTS and telegraph to the Department
here that the members will arrive here
on the 9th of this mouth, for the pur-
pose Of completing the investigation.
From the evidence reported before this
committee. it is evident that they can by
no possible means make any whitewash-
ing report of Mr.. Delano; the corruption
of the Indian Department has been too
thoroughly ventilated to admit of that.
1t is believed that the completion of the
WIN VI luiS Cou LllSoLOn Will lOTCe bt-
lano to step down and out. A strong
effort will be made in the next Congress
to get the entire Bureau transferred to
the army. The last hope, now that the
church has failed to secure the Indians
justice, affairs have reached such a
condition that nothing but a complete
change can remedy the thousand and
one crying evils that have grown up I'M

THE SOUTHERN SITUATION.

There is no question now before the
American people which requires more ear
nest attention than the relative position Of
the white and colored races to each other
in the Southern States. Day by day, the
feeling heretofore manifested between
them is augrnenting in force and intensity.
In fact, 50 alarming have these feelings
become, and 50 serious is the aspect pre-
scented, that every lover Of his country
should devote his best attention to a peace
full solution Of 1 question which threatens
races, from present indications, is not only
a probable, but an inevitable, contingen-
cy and yet, strange to say. our states
men (O instead Of attempting To prevent
such a catastrophe, are Fastening it by
championing such Or such a side, as their
own selfish interest or chances of political
preferment dictates. Instead of rising
equal to the emergency, Of throwing them
selves into the breach, Of proving that
pobilOtbh 10 pol " R0Ity 1911,
we find them catering TO the basest
instincts which ever sctuated human
motives.
When the shackles we're struck from the
limbs of the slave when the chattel was
transformed into the man when the stain
of slavery was wiped out by the arms and
voice Of the American people, humanity
rejoiced, and the good men of all countries
applsuded the action.
When, by subsequent. action of Con-
gress, the freedman was recognized a. the
citizen, clothed with Ill political rights
pertaining to such citiSenship, tacit &C
quiesence was secured, even FRI m those
who doubted the wisdom of such an act.
But when it is attempted to force vcial
recognition; to transcend the functions of
legitimate legislation; TO do for thSaanxp
what the law making power has heretofore
refused to do for the white race, it il time
the consequences Of such-worse than
folly-should be understood by those who
hug the delusion that they are going to be
benefited thereby.
Prudence and policy alike dictate that
the freedmen Of the South should apply
all their energies to prove themselves wor-
thy If the privileges they already possess,
than follow a will-o' -the-w sp that can only
lead them to destruction. 1t is true that,
in certain localities, an overwhelming pre-
pOnderance of the colored over the white
race make them, to all lntents and pur-
poses, the ruling element, enabling them
70 fill every position Of honor or emolu-
ment, to the exclusion Of the Caucasian !;
but it is suicidal in them for q moment to
presume that although such Is the case
the American people will permit them TO
pervert such influence, or use it in direc-
ton repugnant to every feeling Of honor
or manhood. Social recognition must be
