be pooled in the proportion of
seven-eighths of the Western Union

if we are not mistaken, there will
no longer be any real competition
between the two companies, and
hopes of lower Geographic rates
may be dismissed.

Progress OF the Southern Trans
continental Line.

New York Herald, l6Ih.l
The annual report of the Texas
and Pacific railroad, just made to
the stockholders, shows that ITO
miles of road have been completed
during the past year, making $50
miles in all, and that the line has
earned a considerable sum over
running expenses.
On the other end of the line
work is going on even more rapidly.
Trains are now running regularly
from San Francisco to Fort Yuma.
and one hundred and sixty miles
are under contract in Arizona, to be
finished by the LIST of January.
This will bring the western end Of
the great Southern Transcontinen-
tai line to about the longitude of
Tucson, and within four hundred
and forty miles of El Paso.
1t is asserted that the Southern
Pacific Company of California
mean to push the western end a.
last as they can get contractors tC
work, and the managers of thai
road express the intention to do the
work without asking for a subsidy
and will connect with the eastern
end wherever they may meet that
1t would seem from this that III,
talk about the necessity of a subsi
dy grant is all monshine, and tina
the South will have its own trans
continental line completed withou
government aid, except the Ian,
grant already voted. This is fortu
nate, for both parties are every
where putting anti-subsidy plank
in their platforms, and congref
will not be disposed, in the face {
these resolutions by both sides, {
! grant aid in money or indorsemen
: of bonds. Luckily there will b
no occasion to do SO. The roa
! will be built without such aid.

PRESIDENT HAYES expressed
himself very happily yesterday to a
crowd at Wells Station, New
Hampshire, when he SAID:
On making these Acknowledgements it
is not my purpose to enter into political
discussion. We are gathered here Of all
political parties, and while we may differ
as to ways and means, we all shall agree
that the general government must and
should be administered for the common
prosperity and common benefit Of all
inhabitants of our country We may
make mistakes, but they will be from
lack of judgment, and will not be
through or arise from lack of DISPOSE
ton.

Postmaster General Key has been
eating humble pie and looking for
somebody to kick him ever since be
started around the circle. Nobody
seems to have thought it worth
while, and as the last opportunity
was about to pass away yesterday
the President gave him a slap which
must have been gratefully received.
AT the close of a little speech to a
crowd at the Fabyon House in New
Hampshire, the President beckoned
his faithful servant to the front and
said, 81 must leave you now, but l
take great pleasure in introducing
to you Judge Key, a man that has
been greatly wrong in the past, but
is now greatly right" This allu-
sion to the prodigal sons past
career was no doubt received
by the embarrassed postmaster
general with a becoming smile. He
wants people to know that he has
been Il great sinner, but has re-
pented and has hopes of being
some day as good a Republican as
any of them. He is willing to do
any kind OF penance-wear peas in
his shoes, get en- his knees, eat
dirt or anything so he can keep his
place at his masters side and be con-
sidered one of the big men of the
nation. The Hayes party must
laugh to themselves at his servilit,
and his sycophancy. How differ
emily tho manly, dignifed Wad,
Hampton or General Gordon woult
act and be treated if in the sam,
position. They would know hoy
to speak like loyal, patriotic, ma
tional men without cringing an,
catering to the prejudices of bite
partisans. The fame of such me.
as Key is short-liyed and their re
wards few, except in the shape {
public contempt. No doubt whe
the Republican party gets thrOug
with him, as it will in less tina
four years, he will come slidin
around and feeling for some SO
fat office at the hands of the Dem
cratic party.

THE TELEGRAPH.
Terms of Agreement Between the
Western Union and the Atlantic
ana Pacific.

Terms of Agreement Between IA
Nestern Union Rnd the Atlantic
ana Pacific.
NEw YORK, August 81 The Times
says the terms Of agreement between
the Western Union and the Atlantic and.
Pacific committees are as follows:
keene and Sage are to turn over II, 900
shares Of the Atlantic and Pacific stock
ct $25, 10 William H. Vanderbilt as
trustee for the Western Union Company.
Vanderbilt in return is TO give them an
equivalent in stock Of Western Union
Company at $72. The two companies
are to continue to carry on business, and
all outstanding contracts are 10 be full
filled, but the net earnings Of both are to
be pooled, and the Atlantic and Pacific
is to receive one-eighth of the gross
amount, the Western Union retaining
the remaining seven.eighths. The coun-
try is to be re-districted, superfuous
telegraph Offices are to be consolidated,
and the rates are to be raised tothe old
standard. The form of the contract en-.
tered into is based on the pooling con.
tract used by the Direct and Anglo.
American Cable Companies. The hitch
was in regard to the percentage which
the Atlantic and Pacific should receive.
1t was settled on q basis of s per cent.

it will be reduced to three-a

The Republicans would be kept in

they will sit on the ragged edge.

The strike is virtually ended. A little disturbance here and slight ripple of riot there, is all there is left of it; the better sense of the more quiet and reliable portion of the working classes prevailing. AS we said last week, now is the worst possible time for the working classes to make their demands upon capital, and it is pity they couldn't have known this before they made manifest to the world that they could only learn by experience. It isIhoped they never will attempt a repetition of this error of enforcing their views by the use of violent means.
