A NEW TELEGRAPH ORGANIZATION

| The Philadelphia Times announces that
company, composed of capitalists of that
city and some of the Eastern States, has
purchased the Delaney Patent Telegraph Re-
lay, an instrument claimed to be perfect
substitute for the Page patent. owned and
used by the Western Union. All this action
comes on the heel of the recent decision of
Judge Blatchford, of the United States Cir
cult Court in New York, granting the West
ern Union Company an Injunction to restrain
local company OF that city from infringing
on It's patent right. This decision affects
not only all the opposition telegraph COM
panies In the country, which also use the Page
patent, but all the great railroad lines of the
country. Mr.. Delaney. the patentee OF the
new relay. says the Page patent Is so far
reaching In its effects as to be as indlspensa-
BILE to the telegraph system--so far as what
Ia known as the Morse system is concerned
as wheel Ia to wagon. Necessarily, II
Judge Blatchsords decision Is sustained by
the higher court, to which It will be doubtless
appealed, the Western Union Company will
be able to make what terms 1t peases with
all the railroad companies and opposition
telegraph lines, and will have them complete.
cilties are concerned. To avert this the new
company has organized and brought out the
Delaney relay. This, 1t is claimed, is not
only perfect substitute for the Page patent,
but is superior to 1t without at all being an
infringement on 1t. 1t was patened In 1875 by
Patrick Delaney, formerly chief operator Of
the old Franklin telegraph company, and late
superintendent of the Southern and Atlantic
company, but has never been In use for the
reason that the emergency has never before
arisen, the Western Union never having gone
80 far as 1t has In the present case with refer
ence to It's claim OF exclusive right to the
Morse patent. Delaney says he has parted
with his right on terms very advantageous
to himself, and that the intention Of the new
company Is to have his relay in use In less
than month.

THE BURMESE HOLOCAUST.

A dispatch from Rangoon, the capital of
British Burmah, In Asia, conveys the intelli-
gence OF the horrible sacrifice of seven hum
dred lives under the towers OF the wallis of
Mandalay as an Offering for the restoration
OF the life Of the sovereign, who Is said to be
afflicted with leprosy. The victims, who
were buried alive, were mon, women, boys,
girls, priests and foreigners. The panic at
Mandalay, which is situated In the interior OF
the Burman empire, is reported to be of the
most frightful character and hundreds Of the
inhabitants are fleeing from the pestilence
that prevails. The Burmese government Is
a pure despotism, the king dispensing tor
ture, Imprisonment or death accord
ing to his sovereign discretion. The
chief object of government seems to be the
personal honor and aggrandizement of the
monarch, and the only restraint on his pre-
rogative Is the fear Of an insurrection. He

A large portion OF the time OF the present
the great and momentous question whether
Admiral Almy, OF the United States navy,
should be allowed TO accept the present of a
decoration Of the Order of Kamehameha
from the king of the Hawaiian Islands. Sew
eral years ago Admiral Almy received the
honor In return for favor he had done the
king, but found that under the constitution
of the Uuited States he could not receive the
decoration without special permission to do
so from the Senate. He applied for this per-
mission, and the matter was referred to
committee and brought before the Senate.
It was debated at length, the leading Sena-
tors making earnest and excited speeches on
this grave and important subject. The Sem
ate finally decided not to grant Almy's
prayer. Not satisfied with this refusal, the
admiral again entered his request. and
brought It mp year after year before each
Congress. Admiral Almy's Order OF Kame-
hampha became such bore that the Senate
committee resolved to get rid OF the
suhject forever by granting the Ad-
miral the right to wear 1t; but this
they do In such shape as to rob 1t
81 nearly all its value. as they provide that 1t
shall not be publicly shown or exposed upon
Almy.s person. He can. therefore, accept the
order. burafter he has accepted It must keep
II locked up ID bis trunk, only TO be OCCASION

The Blaine men seem TO have made mis-
take when they insisted on the unit rule in
Kansas, and refused to allow the Grant men
In the convention to elect any delegates. As
II 10 now, 1t will be impossible for the Blaine
ties TO complain or object TO the rule adopted
by the New York and Pennsylvania conven-
tions, which compels the whole delegations
Of these States to vote solidly for Grant.

Blaine estimate Of the vote at Chicago gives
the "plumed knight" twenty-eight OF the
fifty-eight delegates OF the Keystone State,
while IL insists that he will get the solid vote
OF the Kansas delegation.

Of land, and four OF this In corn, upon
which we largely depend TO supply our
