TELEGRAPH MONOPOLY.

The terms under which the Government
made its large Immigrants to railroads re-
quired free and fair telegraph service on
the lines of such roads. AS the roads we're
to be the channels of travel and transporta-
ton alike, open to the public, so the tel
egraph lines were to be available for the
business interests of the country, and free
from combinations of every kind. In the
course of events, however, it appears the
Western Union Telegraph Company has
worked itself into the position of claiming
exclusive privileges over other and compe-
ting lines, notwithstanding the charters of
the railroad companies forbade them enter
ing into any scheme of favoritism. The
question was under investigation in the
Senate at the close of the session of Con-
gress last March. One of the cases involv-
ed in the investigation comes up on the
complaint of the Baltimore and Ohio Tel
egraph Company, which represents the ex-
clusion of that company to conduct business
with the Union Pacific Railroad Company
upon the same terms granted to the West
ern Union; and not only that, but the Jay
Gould combination has been allowed the
privilege, at certain places, of superseding
entirely the railroad in the telegraph bust
ness.
The facts as they are, and the Senate in
vestigation, perhaps, have a bearing upon
the recent correspondence which has taken
place between Mr.. Robert Garrett, who is
at the head of the Baltimore and Ohio sys-
tenn, and the parties controlling the Gould
combination. The correspondence develops
pluck in Garrett, and the Western Union
finds him the most obstinate of all prede-
cesso1s who have thrown obstacles across
the way of that monopoly. He seems dis
posed to hold on, and flight it out on that
line, :" and to keep his interests, which are,
in this instance, maintaining the essential
rights of free trade in the telegraph bust
ness, aloof from the meshes of the monop-
oily, which have swamped other and less
bold antagonists.
The Baltimore and ONO Telegraph Sys-
tenn has wrought wonderful benefits for the
public wherever it could meet the Western
Union in open and fair rivalry. The great
interests of the country, opening and ex-
panding towards the Pacific, will pile up
millions on millions of gain to the monopoly,
if allowed to appropriate all to its Golfers,
and hence the desire to strangle this new
and determined rival at the commencement
of it's efforts in that direction.
Speaking from observation of the good eff
fects resulting from the establishment of
the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph system
in our section Of country, we can express
the hope that it may continue to hold its
own independent organization.

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE

indicate the magnitude of the tobacco mar
ket in Louisville, Ky. Since the 1st of JAN

on margin. The extent OF this business
is so great that the merchants not only in
tobacco, but also in other branches of COM
merce, have decided to properly commemo-
rate it, September, 18th instant, has been
set apart as Tobacco Day in Louisville, and
it is the desire to have all tobacco producers
witness tbs demonstrations. Invitations
will be sent by the tobacco trade of Louis
vile to their customers and others connect
ed with it in all parts of the country, and
producers will be furnished with tickets of
admission to the Southern Exposition,
which is now in progress. There will be
grand street parade during the day, and
at night the Exposition will have special
arrangements for assisting in the commem-
moration. There will be extra decorations,
fireworks and an elaborate illumination at
night.
As there will doubtless be number of
members of the tobacco trade from Staunton
and the Valley who will go to Louisville on
the occasion of the Tobacco Day the Chesa-

WHEN THE republicans held possession
of the Government, General Malone s. rea-
son for supporting them was that Virginia
had been on the weak side long enough,
and that, consequently, policy Dictated an
adherence to the strong side, in order to
reap the material advantages possessed by
the majority. Ignoble and mean as that
reason was, it still had some effect upon
those susceptible to such influences. Eff
fective as it was then, it should be more so
now; but the General has no further use
for it, though by ignoring it he shows
great inconsistency and no improvement in
principle.-Aler. Gazette.

dissension in the Democratic party. A vote

by passing out of the Hotel at different

foot towards the depot, but his flank move

not belonged to the 'foot-cavalry'' he fail

where he was vigorously taken in hand,
and made prisoner, and was, vi ct aymis,
