that his clerks and employees would

that Il bears the same relation 20 it

original act establishing the over

been stated to this committee that
there was an appropriation Of Con
gress sufficient to build tho line,
whereas Il was most advantageous
for the government, and but one
man in the whole United States
would put n dollar into it. I was
solicited, but did not take a share Of
it. II was an appropriation Of
FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
4 year for ten years, and the govern
nent was 10 have the free use Of il
for ali business for which they
wanted it. 1t was at the beginning
Of the war and for some yeans the
government got full benefit and the
full return for all the money II had
paid, besides the great benefit Of tele-
graphic communication in advance
or any railroad through a wild and
open country where I did not sup
pose n line could have been main
tanned. Now these are the simple
facts: Instead Of being enough to
build the line, II was not one
quarter enough TO maintain il. This
great turning over OF all the tele-
graph lines owned by the govern
ment at the end Of the war has been
represented to you to have been done
at a cost Of 3, ZOO, 600, when, In
fact, that was the whole cost Of the
government Telegraph system from
the beginning Of the war to
the end, with is employees at q
salary. The amount OF the lines
built was pretty large, but many Of
them were torn down the next day.
They were run up to a large mile
age aud torn away when the army
moved, so that very little was left to
turn over TO anybody. The govern
ment appropriated and used our
lines, not the Western Unions, be-
cause the Western Union had not
even reached New York, aud did
not come 10 Philadelphia.

in parliament. He walked out of the

eminent was paid $1,000 for the limit,
which was subsequently sold for $780,

This session the government was al
most forced by the opposition to APP
point a committee of investigation.
This was done and charges were clearly
proven. The resignation tonight was
not a very great surprise. 1t was
looked for, and might have been COM
pulsory before the going out of the
house. Mr.. Rykert said that he had not
been treated fairly, either by the gov
eminent or the committee, and that he
would seek reelection and fair play
at the hands of his constituents.
