Mr.. W. A. IsEr expects to 90 up to
East Liverpool again to-day, TO look
further into the pottery business. He
has not vet completed arrangements to
90 into this business in Wheeling, nor
has he positively decided that he will
do 50, but he says he has no doubt OF
its proftableness. IL is very desirable
that Wheeling diversity her industries
somewhat, and probably the pottery
business is as good as anything her
capitalists can invest in.

CHEAP TELEGRAPHY.

STURDY RIVAL TO THE WESTERN UNION
GENERAL BUTLER's VIEWS ON THE RAILROAD
TELEGRAPH BILL.
During interview with General Butler, at the
capital. on Tuesday, the Essex statesman expressed
the following views in regard to recent legislation
the subject Of teegraphs:-
REpoRTER-Well. General, see that the Senate has
passed the amendment to the Army bill about the
telcgraphs?
General BuTLER--Yes supposed they would do
80. There could be question Of the proprety Of
there being competition in tclcgraphing the most
important now of all businesses, because IL is the
means by which all commercial business is done.
RrroRrER-But, General, there doubts ex-
pressed whether your amendment is encctual TO
enable railroad companies to connect their lines and
do general telegraph business'
General BurrER--I never have seen lawyer who
doubted its effectiveness. The case stands thus--
All the largely paying telegraph lines only about
four thousand Ave hundred miles. and all along the
principal railroads to tho great cities. You will
now that be because before the reduction of
rates. eighty per Of the receipts for telegraphing
were from commercial business. Now, ia the late
case, decided by the Supreme Court, known tho
Florida case the Court held that telegraphy was the
transmission of intelligence. and so IL became part
OF the duty Of the government to regulate 10 within
It's power under the post Offices and post roads
clause Of the constitution and under the inter-
state commerce clause of the constitution.
All the railroads post roads and are bound
to transmit intelligence IN such manner they may
b. called npon by the Postmaster General either In
freight cars postal by means of tclographic
facilities, II they have them, by lightning ex-
presses, being paid for it, Now, IL has been ques-
toned by the Western Union Company whether rail-
roads can transmit messages for the general public
on ground that tccgraphng is not what they are
chartered and that the State would have right
10 control that matter by legislation. they gen.
orally creatures of the state. My amendment author
ICES them by the law Of Congress- which is supreme
law over post roads, authorizes .he railroads to do
this, therefore State Interfere with IL in any
way, and certain that all railroads are
| selfish enough, II they can see business
lying right before them that they can do with great
pro6t--for if they do the commercial business
they take the larger portion OF the profitable bus
| ness of the Western Union away from them-I say
| they selfish enough TO do 10 IL they can do II.
CONTRACTS CONTRARY PUBLIC POLICY.
REroRrEn-But IL Ia said that the western Union

man and H. F. Barker sec'y. The
object of the meeting having been
stated by the committee, and MIR. C
Anderson having, by invitation, in
formed them as to the progress, pros.
perity and future prospects Of the
said road at his end, the advisia bility,
feasibility and prospects of such a rail-
road were discussed ably, earnestly,
seriously, enthusiastically and
thoroughly, by the men present, in
which discussion Messrs. Murray and
Cater took a very active part. The
interest manifested in the subject made
it necessary to hold an adjourned
meeting in the evening to give the
natural born orators Of Princeton an
opportunity to express themselves
thoroughly. The same deep interest
that prevailed at the afternoon session
was manifest in the evening. 1t was
made decidedly apparent by the argu-
ments so ably and earnestly produced
that such road would be in the in
terest Of the county, that it would
give them as good a grain
market as St. Panl or Mime
apolis now have, that it would
bring trade to their county, would en-
nance the value of all kinds of proper.
ty, would be much more conducive
to the prosperity of the village and
county than a north and south road
would be, and that it was in fact the
road.
The following resolution was pre-.
sented byJ L. Cater, esq, and unan-
imous]y passed:
Resolved. That it is the sense of this
