FRIDAY BvENINa DEC. 1. 1882.
The Telegraph War.


The Telegraph War.
The president of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad company having stated lately
that the necessity for the new cable,
which his company and the New York
Herald are about laying, came from the
fact that they could not communicate
with Europe without the inspection OF
their messages by the Western Union
company, and its approval of them,
the president of the latter company
took occasion to deny that there was any
such espionage exercised by it. Now
Mr.. Garrett comes back ana shows very
clearly that his assertion was true and
that with the present arrangement OF
the Western Union line with the cable
companies, there can be no communica
tion with Europe independent OF it.
Mr.. Pender, the chief of the cable sys'
tenn, when lately in this country, had a
conference with Mr.. Garrett and was
made fully acquainted with the objection
the Baltimore & Ohio company had to
put its business under the inspection of
q rival telegraph company controlled by
Sd unscrupulous a man as Jay Gould.
Mr.. Fender thought the objection rea-
sonabIe, and proposed to establish an in
dependent Office connection in New York
for each of the land telegraph comra
nies. To this proposition he could
not, however, secure the assent OF
the Western Union company. 1t offered
to make him one of its directors, but lie
very sensibly declined the honor, unless
it would agree to his views as to the
MANAGEMENT of the cable lines and of its
business with them.
This exposure of the effort of the
Western Union line, which is Jay
Gould, to control the intelligence OF
the country by controlling the informa-
ton furnished it, is very interesting
one, and public applause will heartily
greet the determination of Bennett and
Garrett to resist the impudent essay to
control telegraphic communication. Mr..
Fender said of BENEFITS action that he
was evidently "fighting for freedom from
system in which he has no confidence I"
He is contending for the independent
life of his great journal, and the
million he has subscribed and the
other million he has ready for cable
that will give the readers of the Herald
reliable news without suspicion Of stock
jobbing hanging to it, will he well repaid
to him in the confidence aud trust that
will fall to the Herald and the satisfac.
tion its proprietor will continue to have
In publishing great journal that knows
no control but his own.

Toss Him Out.

1ucTo HAS UcCu CUuSluCIdUlC luulSud-
tion manifested in the Republican
papers North over the attempt to de-
prive Chalmers of his election because
ola clerical error" such as those in.
vOked to cheat Mr.. Tilden out of his
seat in 1876. A similar state of feeling
is excited over what seems to be 4 shall
low and technical effort to exclude kel-
logg from seat to which he was elected
in the next House, on the ground of non.
residence in Louisiana, having sold his
property there and removed himself and
his investments to Washington, leaving
him with the same interest in his state
that Robson has had in New Jersey,
viz A desire to run for Congress in it.
Robson has no other tie to Camden.
With the feelings of our esteemed Re-
publican contemporaries in these mat.
ters we have some sympathy. Disrepu.
table as these Southern scalawags are, if
they wero elected they ought to have
their seats, and it is neither good morals
nor sagaciOus politics to try to keep
them out on flimsy, technical pretexts.
But We fail to ficd in the columns of
our virtuous Republican newspapers the
same fervid condemnation of the action
of the Virginia returning board, Read
justers, in awarding the certificate in
the First congressional district to Ma.
homes man Mayo, although Garrison,
Democrat, was elected by Sc majority.
This result is overturned on the ground
that the clerk of the circuit court, who
is also clerk of the county court, placed
upon the election returns the seal of the
circuit court instead of the seal of the
county court, as required by law. 1t
was evident that the clerk had noticed
the error, and had written on the seal
the word county," !" but four of the board
held that this did not cure the defect,
and they therefore threw out the vote of
a whole county, Gov. Cameron object
ing.
This is worse siraining Of the law
than was practised in the case of Chal-
mers, and it was resorted to because
Mayo's vote was needed to make the
Virginia delegation stand six to four in
the House and thus give the Mahoneites
the vote of that state for president in
case the next election should 60 to the
House. as many sons of prophets think
it may.
The object of this grab being as de-
spicable as the means resorted to by
which to accomplish it, it will be the
duty and pleasure of the Democratic
House to dispose of Mr.. Mayo and his
pretensions as summarily as the man
who holds the certificate of the seat to
which Chalmers was elected.

Intelligent Birds.

A correspondent of the Selma (Ala.)
Times has come to the conclusion that
one pair of birds at least observed the
Sabbath day and kept it holy. He says:
"A pair of hooking birds were very busy
Saturday building a nest on the swinging
bough of an oak tree that grows very
near my room window. AT dusk, Satur-
day, the nest was about half finished.
Yesterday Sunday sat by the win
dow. reading most of the day. and could
plainly see the nest and its builders.
During the whole day not one stroke of
work did they do on it. They hoped
and flew about, chirped and sang, but
no work for them. They were keeping
the Sabbath. Yesterday morning. bright
and early, looked out, and then they
were flying TO and fro, carrying straws,
sticks and bits of cotton, rs busy rs bees.
Strange, wasn't it3"
