THAT TELEGRAPH TO CAPE FLATTERY

Last week we made incidental
mention of the urgent necessity OF
building telegraph line to Cape
Flattery. Since then number have
expressed desire to have the matter
ventilated further.
Some time ago we called attention
to the cause OF the frequent breaks
in the cable connecting Vancouver's
Island with this side. The only OBJ
lection made to the proposed plan
of laying cable across the Straits
to Port Angeles was by the Victoria
"Coloniss'. That journal, while ad'
mitting the fact that cable laid
directly across the Straits would be
far less liable to break than the pres
ent one is, objected to the change on
the ground taat the Victorians would
be entirely dependent uponAmerican
lines for their dispatches, and advo-
Gated a through line from Canada,
wholly within the boundaries of Can
ada and British Columbia. This pre- :
position seems so visionary that it is
doubtful if it could succeed for years
10 come, because such a line would
not pay.
In addition to what we have said
about the lessening Of marine risks
by extending line to the Cape, it
may be well enough to mention that
the mill companies alone on the
Sound would annually save thous-
ands of dollars in the matter Of fuel,
wear and tear Of machinery, hire for
hands, &C., if they could keep their
tug boats in port until the sighting
of a vessel at the cape and sending
of word over the wires informed
them of the proper time to send. As
it is and has been, tug boats are daily
going down the straits to look for
vessels, often returning altsr q fruit
less search.
The chief signal officer Of the U.
S. Army has lntimatsd his intention
TO continue the signal service to
Port Townsend, as soon as an appro-
priation can be had, and We believe
if the SapFTancisco Chamber of com.
mercs and the owners and under
writers Of vessels running to Puget
Sound would take some prompt &C.
tion that it would be very easy for
them to secure Legislation by the
next Congress, in December, by
which aid would be afforded in the
matter from the u. S, Treasury.
Whether this be true or not, certain
it is that lively business would at
once spring up, after the completion
Of tho line, to remunsrats any com
pany that has enterprise enough to
carry the work through. The cost
of building the line would be com
paratively light, as it could follow
the beach all the way.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON D. c.. July %, 1879

strated than in the non-partisan re-
ception OF Sec'y Sherman in Boston
the other day. Democrats We'd with
Republicans In doing honor to him,
and the greenbackers mus. have
been shamed by the econiums passed
upon the champion OF resumption by
eminent political associates Of Thur
man and Hendricks. The speech Of
the Democratic mayor of Boston in
view of the awkward position of his
party on the financial question was
most significant. He frankly gave
10 tho Secretary the credit Of largely
contributing, by his wise counsels
and skillful management. to tile i'm.
provement Of our various industries
which is everywhere becoming ap
parent. I'VE have great reason TO
believe" he said, "that this prosper.
ity is likely to be enduring, for we
have now returned to those sound
and just principles of fnace which
should govern and guide our com
mercs in the future, basing our hopes
upon the only solid and sure FONDA
ton upon business can be successful
ly carried on-upon that currency
which is alone regarded by the com,
mercial world as sterling, CURRENCY
which is convertible upon demand,
into coin." AT the same reception
were 30 bank presidents, Democrats
and Republicans, who had taken ac,
tive part in the work of resumption
and refunjing, so gradually carried
out by the Secretary. This fac,
gives color to the report that the Sec
retary will favor the American bank
ers' Assertion with his presence at
their Convention in Saratoga on the
9th of August, and give them II
sketch of his financial work as well
as his views on the future policy to
be pursued. OF course his speech
at Saratoga, If he makes one, would
differ from his grand effort in Port
land, which is pronounced one Of the
best political speeches Of the wear,
but it will be no less emphatic in it's
denunciation Of the policy which,
with the aid Of the financiers he will
address, has revived business aud i'm.
proved the public credit.
Ex. Congressman Haralson, Of AL,
has been here and was interviewed
as usual with everybody nowadays
He says it is mistake to suppose
that the whole Republican senti
ment of the South is for GeH'l Graut
for President in 1880. Messrs
Blaine, Window, Conkling and Sh-r
man have many friends, aud ne thinks
Blaine leads the list ii Alabama.
He also declares that the negro exc
dus has hardly begun yet, and pre-
diets that it will start anew this fall
with a wholesale sweep not dreamed
of. He says that no less than $4,000
blacks will leave the lst District of
Alabama alone. While they are
eager to go away, they would remain
at hom. could they be sure of fair
treatment.
The gresnback Democrats are
frantic over the outlook. The i'm

them no hope of appealing to the
classes who are usually ready TO join
