Postal Telc graphy Finding Favor.

WASHINGTON, Nov. I5.-In view Of the vari-
GUS Geographic combinations by which the
public are forced to pay exorbitant rates,
the scheme of a government postal tele-
graph finds an increased support. 1t is said
that the postmaster general will take strong
grounds in favor of the adoption of the postal
telegraph system, going even further in his
recommendations than did his predecessors.
Messrs. Cresswell, Key and James. Both of
the postal committees of congress are under
stood to favor postal telegraphy. 1T is thought
by its advocates that legislation authorizing a
commission to investigate the subject will be
passed this session. There are bills avthoriz-
ing the adoption of postal telegraphy pending
in the senate and house postal committees.

Judge Blatchford just appointed to the
Supreme Bench, Is not only learned and
acute lawyer, but he is an experienced Judge
of eminent and established reputation He
has already been for fifteen wears in the
Federal Judiciary-eleven as Judge of tn.
Southern District and four as Circuit Judge.
Besides the general qualifications which he
possesses, he is specially skillful in the pa
tent laws, and has probably no superior in
this peculiarly difficult branch of iurispru-
dence. His appointment will therefore, not
only complete the number of the Supreme
Court and strengthen it generally, but it
will add to its force in a direction particu-
ly desirable.
