WE PRINT this morning an interesting COM
munication from a stockholbcr in the Panama
Railroad Company in reference to the estab-
lishment Of line Of first class steamers
between New York and San Francisco. Our
correspondent shows that this proposition is
feasible, and that if steamers Of proper calibre
should be built for the Central and South
American trade it would result in a great
benefit to American commerce. lie thinks that
the Panama Railroad directors are capable of
managing this line. We trust that the enter
prise may be successful. The Pacific Mail
has not only been q monopoly on the Pacific,
but il has been 50 badly managed as to be-
come scandal. We believe that the more lines
wo have running on the Pacific coast, not only
between California and the East but between

Cheap TeleRraphy.

We have received circular from Mr.
Oliphant, chief representative in Amer
lea Of the Direct United States Cable
Company, in which he informs us that
his company is struggling to break down
the monopoly in cable telegraphy. We find
however, that the Direct Cable charges as
much per word for the transmission Of de-
spatches from America to Europe as the
other line, the rate to France, Great Britain
and Ireland being seyenty-fve cents word
in gold. This is more than was charged be-
fore the cable was snapped, which, unfor-
tunately, happened few weeks ago. Mr.
Oliphant informs US that, owing to the ex-
pense consequent to the delay in laying
down the cable and recent obstacles to its
successful operation, the managers ''regret
that they are compelled to put the tariff at a
somewhat higher rate than the one origi-
nally intended but they trust, as
soon as their second cable is laid,
still further to reduce it.. The
managers of this line will discover,
as has been discovered by the managers Of
all other telegraph companies, that the cheap
est rates in the long run will bring more
business and consequently inure to the
greater profit Of the owners Thus far the
promise TO reduce rates is little more than a
promise II would be stroke Of genius for
Mr.. Oliphant's company to send messages
over the ocean at a shilling q word. This
would be q great advantage to the people,
and in the end we arc sure would be to the
profit Of the company itself

Comptroller Green,s Latter

The letter addressed by Andrew Ii. Green,
the Comptroller Of New York, to Fitz John
Porter, the Commissioner Of Public Works,
published i'll yesterdays HERALD, deserves
attention as an interesting and important
document. In this letter Mr.. Green arraions
Fitz John Porter for his management of the
public works, and incidentally defends him.
self from the charge of having, as Park Com
missioner, voted for measures of which, as
Comptroller. he does not approve. Our OBJ
lection to the Comptrollers letter is that Ire
shows a narrow -mindedness in dealing with
the future of New York. He is wrong when
he opposes the Improvements in the upper
part of the island. 1t is a mistake
to say that New York should not have
boulevards and sewers and streets beyond the
line OF population. 1t is as necessary to pre-
pare for the growth of a city as it is to build
railroad before we have villages. If Mr..
Green's policy had governed the builders OF
the Pacific Railroad that enterprise would
never have reached San Francisco because
we should have waited until cities were
built along the line. Instead of O railway
following q city the city should follow
the railway Instead of boulevards and i'm
provements following the growth of New
York they should precede it. 1t is just as
necessary to have boulevards and ''improve-
ments" in the upper sections Of the island as
it is for the farmer to SOW the soil with oats
if he expects a crop. The money thus ex-
pended is never spent in vain provided it
is honestly devoted to the improvement OF
the town.
We agree with Mr. Green in his comments
upon the work of laborers that are so often
employed by our Public Works, and in his
criticism upon the manner in which these
selections are made If stranger came to
New York, and happened to pass by
where the city laborers were at work, he
would wonder at the apathy, the indo-
lence, the want of energy shown by them.
We have no doubt that thousand well paid,
active men under such a discipline as is inn
posed by private gentlemen in managing
their own affairs, in building houses and
opening parks, would do as much work as
three thousand ''ticket'' laborers on the pub
lie works Comptroller Green deserves credit
for ms courage IN exposing tnlS abuse.
He shows that Fitz John Porter,
while good man and more sinned
against than SHINING is unfit to hold
his present high position. A Commissioner
who testifies that he has allowed BARRIERS and
politicians and worthless people generally
to act as inspectors of sewers merely because
he was told to do SO by Tammany Hall is
unfit to hold position 50 important as the
head Of the Department Of Public Works,
and it is no defence that he was told to do SO
by John Kelly We want a strong man in
this department, and now that General Por-
ter's term is expiring we trust that his sense
of unftness will become manifest, and that
we shall have a new, resolute, strong minded
business man in his place

Town Meeting Literature.

At recent trial in the Bennington
county court, held at Manchester, of case
involving the title to certain lands in Sun
derland, a volume of the Sunderland town
records was introduced. Beside the dry
details ordinary town records, the book
was found to have literary merit quite
unique, for which the inhabitants of Sun
derland, to all time, will remain indebted
TO the graceful humor of the veteran demo-
crat and legislator, Giles b. Bacon. Upon
an idle examination of the book culled
from it first, record of the proceedings of
the March meeting Ct 1860, In respect to
town poor:
The overseers of the poor, by G. B.
Bacon, made report of their department,
by which the whole expenses were reported
at $17450. Of which the overseers' salary
is set down at tpo dollars. The auditors
attach to this their certiflcat, of its cor
rectness and are of opinion "that the fore
going amount is extremely low and reason
able"
clusion of his statistical report are as fol-
lows:
SAT the close of another financial year,
the overseers of the poor would take occa-
sion to remark, that the wealth of town,
like country, consists in its inhabitants

their health and in the productive power

Of their industry. Since every man by his
labor adds to the wealth of the town as
well as to his own, ought not the town in
return to do whatever It can to raise the
standard of health and comfort to the
highest state of vigor and efficiency To
illustrate the fact, we have only to add
that life is money. The overseers take
pride in being able to say, and they trust
It will be no less gratifying to the town,
that under their humane treatment and

paupers has been kept good, with fair
and reasonable prospect of an addition at

For overseers of the poor"
My next selection was the warning for
the town meeting, in answer to the presi-
dents call for $1,000 troops for !tbe war,
as follows:
"Hear We, hear We, the call of Father
Abraham. Whereas, by requsition OF
the president of the United States upon
the governor of the state of Vermont, for
the quota of 100000 troops, and furnish
irg the deficiency under the draft in Au-
gust last, which quota having been assessed
" TIC tOWu Vi DuuutIlhllU, III tut dRklC-
gate II men, and, Whereas, by a subsc:
quent order 1t has been intimated that If
said town shall raise by volunteering her
quota assessed under the last CALL amount
| ing to II men, then in that case the draft
will be suspended, provided said number
shall have been raised and furnished prior
to the 9th day of January, 1864. There
fore, the legal voters of the town of Sun
derland are hereby required to convene at
the school-house, in the I'd school district
in said town, on the 3D. day of December
| 1868. at one o'clock in the afternoon, to
consider the propriety of raising tax
upon the grand list of said town to be
offered as bounty to induce enlistments
under said call. Democrats, republicans,
copperheads and abolition butternuts the
call is directed irrespective of party. Now
is the ,cepted time to show your love of
country, and by deeds as well as by pro-
fessions, contribute of your means to put
down the wicked rebellion and sustain the
government. Do you appreciate the bless
ings of civil and religious freedom, the
freedom of speech, of an untramelled press,
the right of speedy trial by your peers,
the safety of your persons and papers from
search and seizure? If SO, in order to per
petuate these blessings to those that are to
come after us, the demand is imperative.
Dated at Sunderland this Goth day of No.

The call was effective, the meeting was
held, and vote passed to raise tax suffl'
cieni to pay bounty OF $500 to each vol

tax of 1874 cts. on the dollar of the graut
list, which was duly assessed. II.

such evidence of its success and superior
