zation Just Started In New York.
[Ne,o Torc Eceni,,y Post.l
Within the last month q new
telegraph company has been organ
lied in this city under the title of
the American Rapid Telegraph
Company. It's officers are Edwin
Reed, ex mayor of Bath, Me-. presi..
dent Thomas Wallace, Of Connec-
ticut, yice-president, and Major L.
S. Hapgood, of Boston, treasurer,
The company is said to have q capi
tai Of three million dollars, and it
intends immediately to construct
u line Of double telegraph wires con~
Inocting Boston, New York, Phila.
delphia, Baltimore, Washington,
Chicago and st. Louis. The wires
will be of cast-steel, plated with
copper, and are the invention of
Professor Moses e. Farmer, of
Newport. The company controls q
number Of other novel inventions
in telegraphy, which will enable it,
as claimed, to transmit 1000 words
per minute over it's OWLS patent
and half that number over ordinary
wires. Among the features of the
proposed, system are the following {:
First. Express Messages-To be
dispatched instantly at n uniform
rate Of Is cents for thirty words to
all station cast Of the Rocky Noun
tains.
Second. Mail Messages-To be
dispatched within one hour and de-.
liverel through the nearest post
office or by messenger, within two
hours from date of messages, at Is
cents for fifty words.
Third Night Messages-To be
delivered before 8 q. H., at Is cents
for fifty words.
Fourth. Press Reports-For ex-
elusive publication in one journal ut
10 cents for one hundred words.
Fifth. Stamped Messages-It is
proposed, under an arrangement
with the post office to issue stamps
for messages. A correspondent in
this city can then place letter Of
fifty words in an envelope, put on a
twenty-five cent stamp and drop it
into any lamp-post box. The letter.
carriers will make collections every
halt-hour, and will.,.4.- .eaaeAdeliver
such letters to the telegraph compa-
ny. The latter will bind itself to
deliver copies in Chicago within two
bours of the time of posting. In
the latter city the copy will be sent
to the post Office and will be deliv-
cred by tho letter-carriers there.
The company will pay to the post
Office authorities II cents per letter
for collecting and II cents for
delivering. 1t promises within three
years to telegraph ordinary business
letters to and from all points of the
country for 10 cents.
The company also intends to es~
tablish press bureaus 10 the princi-
pal cities. In building the lines
the post roads and highways will
be followed. as United States
law, passed in 1866, is understood
to give free right of way over those
routes. Tt is designed to have the
lines completed and in working or
der by January l, 1880.

They Must Not Inveigle Man into
Wrong Doing and then Have Him
Punished.
[Ne,o Yorhc Times
1t is narrated that Connecticut
prosecution for liquor-selling has
come to grief through tho refusal of
the Judge to take tho testimony of
Police spies. The temperance men
Of the place employed one Butler to
collect evidence against the suspect~
ed dealers. Butler dropped in at
their saloons and called for drinks
over the bar, which were furnished
to him. He then made complaint,
and thore was an arrest and trial.
The dealers lawyer made tho point
that it cannot be lawful for the
Police or reform agents to tempt
men into crime for the purpose of
getting them punished 'for it that
tho receiver is as bad as the thief,
and one Who buys liquor with q
purpose to break the law by the sale is
an accomplice, and guilty with
the seller. The Judge sustained
this, declaring that ugh q mode of
enforcing the law was Not allowable,
and that the the testimony of the
spy did not warrant a conviction.
A somewhat similar decision was
made, not long ago, in Missouri. A
"coctor' in st. Louis was suspected
of dealing in articles lbade contra
h"nd by the laws for the suppress
sion Of vice, and the friends of the
law employed detective. He drew
up Il letter, dated from Georgia,
asking the doctor if he would sell
such and such things, procured it to
be copied in q lady's hand and Sign
eel Nettio G. Harlan, (Which was Il
fictitious name,) and got the letter.

come from Georgia. Back came an
answer saying: IL have what you
desire. Price, $40" Instead of
sending this to Georgia, the Post
Office cle'k gave it to the detective
He instituted prosecution but the
court decided that it could not be
maintained. 81 have what you
desire gave no information of
whore the unlawful things could be
bought, except to the detective.
And giving information to detec-
tive Of violations of law is not.a
crime. In another recent case, a
proprietor of building suspected
a person of intended burglary, and
employed detectives. They pnt
themselves in communication with
the suspect, and enticed him to pur,
sue his design. He fell into the
trap, the detectives gave him vari,
ous facilities, he matured his plans,
and one night entered the building,
whereupon the detectives lushca in
and caught him. But tho court
held that he could not be con victed
of burglary. The detectives being
agents of the proprietor, their
egging the prisoner on in his pur-
pose was in law communication of
q consent from the owner to the
accused to enter, and deprived it of
criminal character. They might
have watched his doings as sharply
ts they pleased, but they could not
lawfully tempt MIN onward and also
complain of him.

II WESTERN TRAMP LIW.

The Legislature Of Wisconsin, at
its late session, passed cast iron
tramp law that will have tendency
to discourage vagrant immigrants.
1t provides that any able-bodied
male person, over sixteen years, who
shall be without visible means of
support, shall be regarded as
vagrant, and if found in q town, city
or village of which he is not an in
habitant, he shall be doomed n
tramp. For this offense he may be
arrested, and if convicted may DO
sentenced to Imprisonment ut hard
labor in the county Jail, or for q
period not exceeding thirty days in
solitary confinement, his diet being
restricted by law to bread and water.
Municipal authorities are Empowered
to set the conyicts at work repair
ing roads, or in making other public
improvement and if any tramp
refuses to work he shall be sent to
the penitontiary for two years. Any
tramp who is found on the premises
of any citizen without permission, or
who kindles fire on any highway or
Oh the lands of another without
leave OF who frightens any person,
OF carries any irearm or other dam
gerous weapon, shall, upon convic>
tion, he sent to the penitentiary for
two years. All peace officers of the
State are empowered, and it is
made their duty, to arrest individual
tramps and to lodge complaint
against them. Any five or moro
,tramps who shall congregate to-
gether for the purpose of encourag-
ing vagabondage shall, upon conyic.'
tion be sent to tho penitentiary for
two years each. In the face of this
Draconian law it will require bold
heart to become tramp in the land
Of the Badger.
