TEFE TELEGRAPH MONOPOLY.

Tlie New York Graphite, bcsidcs sew
erul other metropolitan journals, is
making most determined war upon
the Western Union telegraph mOnop-
oily. The following paragraph contains
so much truth, and conveys such a
correct idea as to how the matter is
managed in portions Of Texas, and
more especially in Dallas, that it is re-
publishedin these columns. THEHER-
AID desires to furnish its readers each
morning with the latest and most re-
liable news, and for that purpose has
contracted for the associated press dis.
patches. THE HERALD pays the West
ern Union Mi,d more for its tete-
graphic report than any paper IN north
e,w Teas, and by right should be
entitled to accurate and detailed ac-
count of the news transporting through
out the country; but, instead, The
HERALD's readers are daily treated to
rehash of local rubbish of some north
ern or eastern village, totally without
value or interest to any one beyond the
immediate locality where they occur.
OF course, no blame is attached to the
employees stationed here. 1t is their
duty to receive the matter rs sent 1t
is against the parties who make up the
report that we complain, and with good
cause, too.
The question of cheap rates is one
in which the people, as well as the
press are interested, and it should be
discussed and agitated until the needed
reforms are brought about:
The establishment of the postal tele-
graph in England has put an end to all
discrimination between senders or re-
ceivers of messages. There is but one
tariff and all news associations can OBJ
tain dispatches on precisely the same
terms. Here, rs is well known, the
Western Unions monopoly has-ac-
cording to Mr.. Orton's testimony-as
many different prices as there are diff
ferent news associations. Mr.. Orion
can charge one newspaper or one press
association double what he charges an
other, and thus render newspaper prop
erty utterly worthless whenever IL suits
his within. Much the same state of
things existed in England before the
government took control of the wires
and made them free to all on precisely
the same terms.

THE CITY ELECTION.

The city election passed Off quietly,
Tuesday, with no special features OF
interest except an unusual display Of
energy and enthusiasm by the friends
of the various candidates. There were
no questions of political Significance
involved in the issue, and hence the
contest was devoid of that bitter preju-
dice and personal i'll feeling which
most usually characterizes political
campaign.

The crops here look I'll st rate, (wheat
and oats.) Most oi the farmers have
their corn planted, and some have corn
up. The cotton land is mostly hedded
and ready for the seed. Much new
land has been fenced and broken dur
ing the past fall and winter, which will
be put in corn andGotton. A few fruit
trees have been planted, but not one
tenth of what ought to have been.
Grass is up now, and affords very good
pasturage for stock. A few farmers are
seeing the necessity of improving their
stock, but the majority think anything
that has hide, hair aud horns, will do
for Texas.
We have one private school in oper-

TIE vast engineering project Of Il
tunnel between Franco and England
is now assuming II practical phase
1t seems that the capitalists and en-
gineers embarked on this gigantic
enterprise demand II concession OF
thirty years, instead of the ninety
nino usually accorded to railway
companies, and ask for neither
guarantee nor grant. Further, they
are ready to advance the sum of
four millions for preliminary invcs-
legations. The project in question
consists in the immcrging Of duct
on the English and French coasts,
and the boring of two long galleries
from each side. The chief Of this
enterprise, with MN. Chevalicr,
Leon say, and RothschiId, is NJ
Lavalley, IN engineer who has sur
mounted the greatest difficulties in
the construction of the Suez canal,
and without whom, it is We'll known,
that vast work could not have been
accomplished. NJ. Lnvallcy esti-
mates the cost of this proposed un.
dertaking ut some thirty million
dollars, but the English engineers
think il will amount TO fifty mil
lions.

while large multitudes of sweating,

out of bread. That extra nice class
never spade or plow to plant SO much

And yet their wages, salaries and fees,
are regular and sure as sunrise without
delay or bother. That class, (don't
you know?) are your office-holders and
professional men, deadheads, over the
whole broad nation. They live in the
grandest houses, wear the finest and
most stylish clothes, and drive the rich
est liveries and then tax you and me to
pay their heavy bills.
The big wages Of this fat. happy and

poor factory operatives. The officers

manage somehow to pick the cash from

to work when they find fair chance.
That is the difference, my kind
friends between the top and the bottom
classes, between workers and non-work-
ers, producers and non-producers.
This difference is old as the "oldest in
habitant," and it grows wider and wider
until now it has become real bloody
chasm.' The few hi phi up in the clo-
YER blossoms; the many, the millions,
down, down, down in the dust of help
less vassalage.
Where is labor, to-day? A beggar in
the streets. Where is money? A God,
a King, (Bill King.) Money dresses
up, rides in a carriage, and goes to Con-
gress; then taxes labor for the cost.
M Money, though = blockhead, always
wins against labor and brains. Don't
we all know this }? How will it be on
election day? Labor produces all
wealth, and yet goes in rags, travels
barefoot, and sleeps in a hovel. And
why? Just for lack of union and COOP
GRAFTON among the workers.. Nothing
else. And who is to blame? We don't
stand up for labor. We don't, we don't
we DON'T.
Now, brother workers of Minnesota,
we expect to vote. beg of you, then,
dear Changers, farmers, mechanics,

against unity and equal rights, and

SACRAMENTO.

The city Of Sacramento is level and
not much higher than the river. It has
a substantial leveee all around it, of
stch height and strength as to afford
complete protection from the great JAN
uary freshet. There are several ele-
CANT residences in the city, some Of
which excel the Presidents house in
exterior splendor. Among the most
elegant, noticed those of Ex Gov. Le-
land Stanford, and Gen. Alfred Red
ington, formerly of Augusta, Maine.
The State House excels any other
State Capitol that have ever seen, in
splendor and workmanlike finish.
From its summit, the view is exceeding
ly grand. Besides viewing every part
Of the city, I could see far up and down
the valley Of the Sacramento. The
Sierra Nevada Mountains in the east
and the Coast Range in the west lent
enchantment to the view. The Capt.
tol is near the centre of about thirteen
aces of ground, beautifully decorated
with shrubbery and rare flowers, which
surround the grass plats and walks.
In the gardens of Sacramento they
have great variety Of tropical trees
and plants. In the garden Of Gen.
Redington there are eight varieties Of
Palm trees, the date tree, the banana,
the finest varieties of acacias, the In
dia Rubber tree &C. Between Sacra-
mento and San Francisco there are
some valuable ranches; on one of which
I saw a man plowing in the distance
with team of eight horses, probably
with gang Of eight plows.
Oakland, six miles across the bay
from San Francisco, is said to be the
most lovely city in the State. Many
people who do business in San Francis
co, reside here. The University build
ings are located about six miles wester
ly from the centre of Oakland, at the
foot of the hills Of the Cascade range.
This institution has a good library and
Cabinet Museum, From high hill in
rear of the Institute I had grand
view. San Francisco Bay with its val.
ley of exceedingly beautiful ranches,
dotted with farm houses, lay beneath
Oakland on the left, and San Francisco
in all her majesty over the bay, also
high peaks of the Cascade range with
deep gulches between, in the rear.
The Rail Road track extends three
miles from Oakland to the centre of the
bay, thence We take the ferry to the
wonderful city of San Francisco.

THE INDIAN COMMISSIONERS

The board of commissioners appointed
to investigate Professor Marsh's charges
against Indian agents, met in consultation
with President Grant, at Long Branch, on
Thursday. The council was of course pri-
vate and was supposed to concern only the
arrangements of the practical details of the
laborious inquest before the commission.
Ex-Governor Fletcher, of Missouri, chair
man of the commission, is somewhat talk
alive, and says that they shall go right to
vestigate matters on the spot. The presi-
dent is reported to have announced to them
that he yet had faith in the humane and
christian policy adopted by the administra-
ton. We are glad that Gen. Grant has
confidence in his plans of securing friendly
relations with the western tribes, for the
people have not, neither has Sheridan nor
Sherman. All sorts of christian efforts
have been made and yet the Indian is IN
yielding. The peaceful Quaker, the Pres
byterian doctor of divinity, the Methodist
preacher, and the Baptist elder have all
made use Of the humane methods. and 10
the poor Indian is obdurate-his nature and
his grievances all remain the same.
The president pledges the full power Of
the executive in reforming any branch of
the public service, and his hearty co-opera-
ton with the board in this investigation.
He proposes now the removal of all the
Indians in the country to the Indian terri
tory south Of the Kansas river, and meas
ures are to be adopted with this end in
view.
The board, it seems, are still to continue
the humane policy, and for this purpose
have issued an address to the christian
public asking their support in this policy.
This is all very well if the cry of humanity
towards Indians had not been played out.
This christian and humane policy, how
ever, should not be made another means OF
covering up the iniquities of the Indian
agents. The government will not be iusti
fed in carrying any humane policy into
the investigation of Prof. Marshs charges
Let the most rigid investigation take plac,
in all departments, not excepting Colum
bus Delano.
The Jealous Commissioner Fletcher hay
ing had some experience on the plains, ex
peotS that the indians will lie, and the con
tractors and officers cover up all they can
but has no doubt that good, long, thor
ough and independent comparison of wha
the Indians have actually received, will
what the contracts called for, will get a
the bottom of the business. If Governo
Fletcher represents the spirit of the com
mission, the country may be tolerably wei
satisfied that the indictment presented b,
Prof. Marsh is going to receive fair trial
