THE RAILROADS AND THE rELE.
GRAPH.
Case of the baltimore q Ohio and West.
ern Union.

Case OF the baltimore 4 Ohio and West.
ern Union.
A case Of considerable Importance to the
public, to railway companies and to tele-
graph interests was recently before the
District Court at Columbus, Ohio. Suit
was brought by the Western Union Tele.
graph Company, who claimed, under an
agreement made in 1858, the exclusive
right to perpetually operate a line OF tele-
graph on the right Of way Of the Central
Ohio Railroad Company between Wheel.
ing, West Va, and Columbus, Ohio.
The Central Ohio Railroad is now
leased and operated by the Balti.
more & Ohio Railroad Company, and the
object OF the suit Of the Western Union
Telegraph Company was TO restrain the
Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Company
from exercising similar telegraph rights on
the line OF the Central Ohio railroad, as
well as to prevent the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad Company from transferring its
own telegraph wires to the poles OF the
Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Company
under an agreement and operating the
same in connection with that company.
The case was previously argued before
Judge Green, ,ofthe Courtoi Common Pleas,
who then decided that the exclusive con.
tract with the Western Union Company
was void, as being against public
policy. The Western Union Com
pany appealed from the decision OF
Judge Green, and the case was recently
fully and ably argued by eminent counsel
on both sides before the District Court at
Columbus, Ohio. 1t is understood that a
majority Of the District Court was in favor
Of dismissing the appeal, but on motion OF
the Western Union Telegraph Company
the case was reserved for decision in the
Supreme Court. This disposition OF the
matter leaves the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road Company free to continue the opera
ton ofits lines as now placed, and to con-
troll its telegraph interests on the line OF
its Central Ohio division. In the regular
course OF business before the Su.
preme Court It will probably be he.
tween two and three years before the
case will be reached. Within the past two
weeks the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Com.
pany has completed the construction OF a
lirst.class telegraph line of two wires be-
tween Baltimore and Washington. This,
taken in connection with the result in the
Ohio courts, facilitates the policy Of that
company for the use OF its own system oi
telegraphs as a competitor with the West
ern Union Telegraph Company for tele'
graphic business OF the public.

Philadelphia is acknowledged to be
The leading industrial city Of this conti'
pent, /. is natural that the manufacture Of
shoes should be very large. Theree years
40 there were only sixteen extensive
shoe factories in the Quaker city; to-day
there are one hundred and fifty, and the
amount Of work annually turned out by
these great industrial hives averages 49,
m,OOO paris of shoes. Some factories,
indeed, turn out 1000 pairs Of shoes per
tlsy, and rearly all the work is done by
machinery. There are cutting.machines,
tHphammers, sewing.machines, trimming
machines, and machines for polishing and
furnishing Intact the revolution wrought
by machinery in the shoe trade may be
deemed one the greatest marvols Of the

WASHINGTON, April 2l 1t is very evi.
dent from the confidential admissions Of
Democrats influential in their party coun.
ellis, that the party leaders are beginning
to think that they have committed an er.
ror in forcing the extra session, and in
making the threats they have as to stop
ping the government, and that the ener.
gies Of the same leaders are now being di.
rected to discovering some solution Of ex.
isting complications. This feeling has not
taken possession, Of the majority Of the
party, but it certainly is influencing a
large number Of the most active leaders,
aud Is the only basis for the numerous
pending rumors OF probable compromise.

such wholesale stuiIing. Hence they fear,
since tue result Of last falls election, that
the Republicans will carry the State in
1880 They do not really feel sure Of a
single Northern State since the fall and
spring elections, having been so generally
beaten in them, and 1t Is natural on their
part 10 wish to sec Cincinnati and New
York captured by tho bummers and
strikers who train under the Nasbys Of the
party. 1
It will be necessary for the South TO
capture forty.seven Northern votes in
orderto succeed in 1880. II they could
carry Cincinnati las In lS78D and New
York in 1893, they might hope to cap
tare Ohio and New York. A million Of
money could he raised to capture these
two cities II necessary, because they are
the stronghOlds ottheir respective States.
We all know the frauds that were perpe-
trated in Cincinnati and New York, and
how very necessary it Is to guard
against their repetition. Hence the
fight in Congress to day hinges
on the repeal Of the Supervisors
law. The Democracy threaten to
starve the government into repeal Of it
even to the dlsbandlng of the army.
They are apparently prepared to go any
length to coerce the President. To this
end they have called the present session
of Congress and put the country to q vast
expense for partisan purposes. To this
end such men as Randolph Tucker, Of vir-
ginia, Senator Beck Of Kentucky, and
Representative Blackburn, Of the same
State, have threatened the very existence
Of the government, iustas they did in 1861.
