THE PROPOSED POSTAL TELEGRAPH.
THURSDAY MORNING, JAN. Is, 1883

The postal telegraph bill introduced in the
House of Representatives by Mr.. Anderson,
of Kansas is one of the most important meas
ures proposed during the present session. The
bill proposes the construction of telegraph
line from Portland, Maine, to Topeka, Kansas,
with branches to all other points it may be
deemed desirable to reach. Offices are to be
established only in carrier postoiices until the
Postmaster General considers it feasible to in
troduce them in the smaller offices. Messages
are to be carried at uniform rate of twenty
five cents for ten words, until the Postmaster
General recommends a reduction. And the
bill provides for issuing $3,O00,000 in thirty
year bonds to cover the cost, and for reserving
100000 of the receipts as a fund to redeem
the bonds. 1t is modest measure. Its au-
thor evidently does not propose to commit the
country to gigantic and costly scheme until
perfectly sure of it's practicability. 1t is Sc
rious question whether telegraph system can
be established which will be remunerative in
the face of the powerful competition it would
have to contend against. But the introduc-
tion of the bill will compel attention to the
measure and force it's discussion in the country
as we'll as in Congress. We have no hope that
the present Republican Congress will give the
country postal telegraph. But we shall be
disappointed if the next House of Representa-
tives, in which the Democrats have an over
whelming majority, does not pass postal tel
egraph bill which the Senate will indorse and
the President will be forced to sign.

and shipped 500, ,425 pounds of yarn. The
average price paid for cotton during the year
was sl0.67 per hundred, and the average waste
of the cotton used from the crop of 1881 was
224 per cent, while the cotton used from the
present crop only shows an average waste
of from 13 to Is per cent. Short cotton forms
the principal part of the waste, but sand,
weeds, &C., are included. The average num-
Der of hands employed during the year was
100, and the number of spindes in operation

DEATH OF MRS. MCJUNKIN.-This estima-

yesterday afternoon. She had been great
sufferer from cancer for many months, from
which she was relieved temporarily bya surgic-
al operation, about a year ago, but the insidi-
Gus disease returned, to triumph at last, in the
death of it's victim. She was a consistent
member of the Methodist Church, and an ac-
tive worker in many of the benevolent organ
izations of our city, and her loss will be great
ly felt by them, and the poor and unfortunate,
who were the objects of herkind ministrations.

SUIT AGAINST A RA1LRoAD.-Mr. J. G.
Holmes, of Charleston, has brought suit against
the Carolina Central Railroad (running from
Wilmington to Shelby,) fordamages occurring
from being elected from a car on that road.
The circumstances are about thus-Mr. Holmes
bought a first-class ticket on the Carolina
Central and claimed that the coach In which
he was directed was not first-class car and
that the smoke and discomfort of the coach
made him ill. So he went back to the sleep
ing car, and, claiming right to be there on
the ticket bought for a frst-class car, was
elected from the sleeping car upon his refill
sal to pay extra fare. This is the case as we
can gather from Mr. Holmes friends.-Ch0r-

HAMPToNs MAGNETIsM.-A Washington
correspondent says: Senator Hampton was
among the callers at the White House yester-
day. Gen. Gordon says there is striking
resemblance between the late Leon Gambetta
and Gen. Hampton. From this conclude
that Gordon must owe Hampton a grudge of
some kind. 1 never saw Gambetta, but if
written descriptions and photographs are
guides, 1 should say that Hampton had the
advantage of the two. An artist here, who
deserves to rank above the majority Of Ameri-
can artists, VIM. Carl Browne, tells me that
when Hampton first came to the Senate, quite
a crowd saw him get out of the carriage at
the hotel. 1t seems that they heard Hampton
was expected that day. The average WASH
ngtonian had, of course, heard a great deal
of him, and a number of them determined to
get an early look at him. Browne says as he
stepped down on the pavement and stood
erect before them there was spontaneous
cheer from the outskirts of the crowd. AS
there are few men whose personal appearance
can provoke such an exhibition, l think [
am ctrrect in guessing that Gen. Gordonmust
be near sighted-or jealous"
