IT will be good news to those who dis
like to see our streets dis6gured in all d.
rections by huge telegraph poles, that
there is a prospect, at sometime or other,
of getting rid of this unsightly nuisance.
The Philadelphia Press says:
Overhead telecraphs are rapidly disap-
pesring throughout Europe. In London,
for some time past, the telegraph depart.
ment, which is now in the hands OF the
State by purchase, has done great deal
to abolish the long lines OF wire danger
ously stretching overhead, and to carry
them along in iron pipes underground
In Prussia scarcely telegraph post re-
mains. A new line from Berlin to Ho-
land will run entirely underground, and
al official order lately announced that
this must be the way hereafter. Ger
many in general will probably follow
Prussia in particular IN this respect.
France aud Italy are also "tollow'
ing SUIT" as Hoyle would
say. In Canada some steps toward
alteration and improvement in this
direction have been taken OF late, and
the United States, which ought to have
led in this matter, is we'll disposed to
fall in with the change. The great diff

towns and in country places it is less ex

confessed, do not improve the scenery

Hon. CHAs. j. FAULKNER delivered
speech in the House of Representatives
last Wednesday on the question OF count
ing the electoral vote, in which he Gays;
From the earliest foundation OF our
Governmental the present hour, all who
have had occasion TO study our constitu-
tional system have reached the conclu-
sion that the election of Chief Msgis-
tra,e of this Republic is the erperinentuna
crucis or the crucial experiment of our
system; that in the very nature OF things
i; must be the source of the greatest perlls
to the Republic and the severest test TO
which our institutions can be exposed.
Whether our present situation results
from the intrinsic difficulties incident TO
the popular election Of a chief magis,
trate, clothed with so much power and
patronage as belongs to the office OF
President of the United States, or
whether it results from any detect in the
safeguards provided by law to secure
lair and honest expression OF the popu-
lar will, it Is not necessary at this time

Mr.. Calhoun, IN his admirable work
upon the Constitution and government
of the United States, and which feel
free here To say is one Of the most strik-
ing examples of exact reasoning and OF
analytical power to be found among the
writings OF American statesmen, has,
with remarkable ssgac,ty, foreshadowed
the condition of political events which
now exist in this country. He refers to
the vast patronage and power vested In
single person, constituting the executive
department of the government; to the
struggles which will be made by parties,
through the election OF President, to
get posse ssion of this patronage and
bower; to the reluctance with which
a party long in possession of the
offices and money of the government,
will surrender these advantages to its
opponents; to the frauds and corrnp-
tions that may be expected to character
ize this obstinate determination 10 re-
tain power; to the probability of dis
puted Presidential succession; to the fact
that the incumbent in Office may him.

institutions for monarchicsl, ending In
the decay and destruction Of our free

We have now before US something of
that condition Of affairs which that emf

thirty years ago, predicted as one of the
consequences of a single Executive and
of the growing Capitalization OF power in

The Concert.

Tomorrow evening there will be a
Concert at the Exchange Hall for the
benefit of the Episcopal Church,
which will give our musical friends
another opportunity to enjoy rich
treat. The Amateur musicians
whose services are engaged for the
occasion represent some of the best
musical talent we have and we can
safely promise all who attend that
they will be we'll repaid the price OF
admission. 1t is given for a chart,
table purpose, but the ladies and
gentlemen who have it in charge
propose to give full value for the
money they receive, and we guaran
tee that those who attend will be wei
pleased with the performance. M
charitable appeal has ever failed tt
be suitably responded to by our PEG
pie, and we predict that the Concer
will be successful financially as wei
as in a musical point of view.

selling and purchasing the exac,
quantity and weight of what is SOLD
