The question at issue arose in the case

both commerce and the postal service

they should be under the pr otecting care

thus granted are not confined to the in.

service known or in use when the con-
stitution was adopted, but they kept pace
with the country, and adapt themselves
to the new developments of time and cir
cumstances.

road TO the telegraph, as those new
agencies are successfully brought into
use to meet the demands of increasing

tended for the government of the business
which they relate. at all times and under
all circumstances.
"As they were entrusted TO the general
government for the good Of the nation,
IL is not only the right. but the duty Of
congress to see TO it that intercourse
among the states and the transmission OF
intelligence are not obstructed or un-
necessarily encum bered by state legisla-
tion."
