A TELEeRAPHTc pgcIsIoN.

A very interesting and important decision
on the vexed question of the obligations Of
telegraph companies has recently been
rendered by the Supreme Court of his
sour. The Grand Jury of St. Louis had
ordered the local manager of the Western
Union Telegraph office to produce any dis
patches which might have passed during
the preceding fifteen months between two
persons named. The manager refused to
produce the dispatches pleading the rules
Of the company. The Criminal Court be
ing then appealed to by the Grand Jury,
committed the manager for contempt. lie
brought the matter before the Supreme
Court on habeas corpus, and the Supreme
Court has now decided, first, that telegraph
messages are not privileged communioa-
lions, and that the company cannot refuse
to produce them. This is in the line Of the
general course Of judicial decisions in this
country, though we have never been able
TO perceive its sopndness. The second
point of the decision, however, is new.
It is to the effect that while
telegraph messages may be called for, they
must be called for under the same rules
which govern the production of Other
documents that is to say, they must b,
described so accurately as to identity then
precisely. Thus it would not be possibl,
under this decision to call upon the tele
graph company to produce all the dis
patches passing between certain person.
during a given period. It would be neces
sary to describe the particular dispatches
which were wanted, and not in genera
terms, but with sufficient precision fol
their Identification. 1t is evident thai
this decision will operate to discourage calls
for telegraphio dispatches where it is only
sought to ascertain whether any important
dispatches were sent, and as there is in al
such inquiries a very great deal Of i'm
pertinenoe as well as tyranny, it is well that
the practice OF ransacking the telegraph off
ces should be checked We can see NJ
essential difference between telegraph,
and a mail communication, in fact, ans
think one should be as inviolab.e as the
other IN equity.

The CASE OF MR. CURTIS.


The Senate, in rejecting the nomination
OF the Hon. N. Greene Curtis for Regent
OF the University, has evidently come into
collision with the law organizing that IN
stitution. There is Of course but one
reason for the rejection Of this nomination.
and it is the fact that Mr.. Curtis is a
Democrat. But since she law expressly
and in terms declares that no political bias
shall enter into or control these appoint.
ments, what appears to have been intended
as arebuke TO Governor Perkins threatens 70
become a rebuke to the Senate. AS the
Governor has quietly but firmly resubiait
ted the rejected nomination, atthe same time
calling the attention of the Senate to the
law under which he made it, that body can
not escape from the necessity Of giving It's
reasons, or Withdrawing from the position
it has taken. And we are by no means
sorry that this conflict has been brought
about, for it can never be too soon to put the
abominable spoils system fairly and
squarely upon trial, and to challenge II for
lis right to further existence. The plain
intent of the Senate in rejecting the nom
iuation of MI Curtis was to declare that
Governor Perkins must appoint none but
Republicans to Office Of any kind. We are
glad that case has been chosen in which
this position IS not only morally. but le-
gally wrong, for it VIII make the defeat of
the spoilsmen easier. It vas = wise provi-
sion which sought to exclude partisauship
from the Council Board of the State Uni
versity, and it would seem that only the
wantonness of factional spirit could seek to
overthrow that obviously necessary ar
rangement The members Of the Board of
Regents serve without pay, and therefore
there is no question Of emolument in this
matter. Tie office is solely one of honor,
and it ought 10 be reserved for the most dis
tinguisbed and the most highly educated
men the State can boast. We are not
prepared to say that we consider the selec.
ton of Mr.. Curtis the fttest that could
have been made for such purpose. We
are simply contending that the politics of
a nominee ought not to influence his &C.
ceptancs by the Senate, The Governor
has acted in conformity with the spirit of
