Rebecca Jenes Is a martyr ; langulsh iBg la a New Yerk Jail because in her faithfulness te the family which ahe erved for her llfe time, oho refused te answer tee lawyer's questions about the life and habits of Mr. Ilamerslcy, whose will was in dispute befere the surrogate. Mr. Hamcrsley was a man of weak mind, a membcr of an old and wealthy family, who, married a young wlfeable te take enre of him, and died after a winter, trip te Flerida, as it Is rather the fashion te de, of late; and his will I was disputed, also per haps te be In the fashion. With the merits of the dispute we have nothing te de, being solely concerned with the resolnte refusal of Rebecca Jenes, colored, te tell te the public the secrets of the Hamcrsley family and help the lawyers te unveil 113 skeletons te a curious world. Rebecca declared that If her old mistress, Mr. Hamersley's mother, was te speak te her from the grave, it would be te tell her te say nothing, and thnt injunction she was going te obey, the court nnd lawyeis te the contrary notwithstand ing. The surrogate told her she must answer the mieatlens put te her : the Haniersley lawyers advised her te An swer ; bub Rebecca steed alone and refused. The court gavehern week te repent, and at the week's end she was firm still and declared her purpese te stay firm In her resolve until the resur rection day ; and se she went te Jail te await It. We think that Rebecca Jenes was right. We notlce thnt the New Yerk Bun, replying te a correspondent, who thinks that Rebecca Jenes deserves rather a monument than a cell for her loyalty te the family she served, says that It is In sympathy with that feeling, but that nevertheless the surrogate did right In sending her te Jail, because the law obliged her te answer, and the law must be obeyed. That is true; but it must be a law reasonably construed ; and we maintain that the construction given te the law, by judges who requlre witnesses te answer pretty nearly everything that Impudent and Inquisitive lawyers ask, Is wrong. Nine tenths of the testimony taken In the average trial is impertl nent ; and In such a case as this, with u witness occupying the confidential pesl tlen in the family which this faithful servitor filled, the questions which the lnws would order te be an swered should be most strictly limited te these that nre absolutely needed for the elucidation of the issue. Ne one will say that servants err gen erally in reticence as Je the private af fairs of the family ir which they live. Ne one will deny that servants should net be tell-tales. They hear aud see what they hear and see while occupying a con fidt'utial .relation, which should serve te seal their lips, If they had the sense of honor they should have, but seldom de have. When, then, we find ene who has it, we cannot help feel ing thnt It Is an outrage en a true public sentiment which applauds the exhibition, that it should be stamped upon in the name or the law. We feel that there is something wrong in the law's condemn ing what the heart approves ; and if talcs of family llfe can be forced Inte pub licity out of the mouths of family servants by any proper construction of the law, then the law needs prompt amendment ; as It does indeed in many things. With peer legislators, mean Judges and miser able lawyers, the administration of jus. tlce Is come into public derision ; and the question arises as te hew much better off we are with our law, than we would be without it, with a geed chance for every big sceuudrel te feel a rope's end if the little ones de go fre e. It is notorious in 'Washington that what mellows most men, makes Edmunds mere churlish. Te seme Wellington college boys, who nominated him in their mock convention, Edmunds has written thnt he much profers their compliment te the actual offlce In question, the em barrassments nnd burdens of which he dees net deslre te assume. It does net fellow from this, however, that it would be safe for a real convention te offer him n nomination with the expectation that It will be refused. AcomtKsreNDK.NTof the Pittsburg Dispatch, who is net a feel though he be a stranger, writes te that paper iu sovere criticism of MacVeagh's letter te Rristew, and makes the very geed point that it does net lie with the friends of Gnrlleld te attack Arthur for participat ing in the New Yerk banquet te Dersoy. It wasGarfield who made that malodorous Individual the chief instrument of the Republican organization in lvn ; it was he who gave Persey his largest confi dence, and addressed him in terms of fondest endearment during the cam paign nnd of warmest gratitude after its conclusion. Resides, nfter all, It was Arthur nnd his friends and their meth ods that elected Garfield and made MacVeagh's appointment as attorney general possible. Hlaine tried it in Maine, and from tie results of his fiasco, Arthur and ttie Stalwarts res cued their party. Nobody knew this better than Garfield, aud we doubt If anyene knows better than MncVeagh the true story of the duplicity in the New Yerk appointments and the double dealing in the case of Rill Chandler's nomination and rejection, which led te se much bitterness ami recrimination inside the administration and finally burst out in the quarrel with Oenkllng. There are political characters even mere odious in the estimation of the public than Stalwarts Theso aie the sneaks and hypocrites. Whkn Jehn Sherman was Eecretae of the treasury, and with the knowledge and consent of the fraudulent president who made him such, was prostituting the functions aud power of that h'gh office te nominate himself for president, he removed a collector of internal reve nue, named Wheeler, in North Carolina, because he preferred Grant te Sherman. New the president sends in the name of the same Wheeler te the Senate and gets him confirmed te the saweetucet because he can help te make North Carolina solid for Arthur. Thus the grand old party gees march ing en te glory. FINANCIAL NOTES.

A Mouepoly tlmt Should bs llrekeu I I'. Tbe report of the Senate committce en postefficcs in relation te postal telegraphy, states that the cost of mercantile tele graphing is no doubt increased by the stock watering and leasing of lines by the Western Union company. The actual debt ut that company as capitalized by the cemmittee, is (iiJ,57?,tWO, and the sum required for dividends is almost jC, 000,000. It also pays $700,000 fur Atlantic cable service, $301,000 for Cuban cable service, and for the geld and stock company, which is a total of $1,100,000, and capitalized, represents nearly $17,000,000, or a grand aguregate el about $11:1,000,000. While in Fonie cases the leased proper ties may pay well it is certain that the price paid by the Western Union in its stock for competing lines was vastly in excess of either the cost or earning cjpae lty el the property acquired. There was uethiuK in the information furnished te the cemmittee te warrant the issue of stock dirideuds te tbe shareholders be tween 1WG7 and 1SS3. both inclusive te the amount of $31 000,000, all in addition te the regular div.dends of $25 000,000. The oempitiy cUims the use of 431,M23 miles of wire, but the committce was assured that all the work could be done as well with 350 000 miles of wire, which, at $70 per I mile, would indicate a cost of $24,500,000 te rcprxlucu liucs equal te thnse en trolled by the Western Union. lhe capitalization el the company is thus shown te be enormously oxcesstve, acd it has undoubtedly had the effect of raising the prices of telegraphing beyond itasen nnd te the detriment of public in teiests. Fer this aud ether reasons the cemmittee thinks the monopoly is dan geieus aud oppregiiive and should be broken up The report coders a bill for the establishment of a puntal telegraph system, and supports the act with quota tiens and opinions te the cuect that the government has plenary powers in the matter. The committce is confident that no injury will ba done te any citizens bo be bo yeud curtailing extraordinary prjtlts, while the nation will be better aud mero eheaply served. .11 r llunen riiUla fur Heading.

The book has attained au immense sale and secured great pec l niary profits for publishers, author and agents, no doubt, mainly because Illaine wrete it. Nevertheless it is true, as an astute and fair minded critic has well said : ' There are cbaptersiu the political history of that momentous period which might have been, enn would say, treated by Mr. Klaine iu a manner te insure his work a unlntin nlacfl. but lie Inn net trrlr ten them. On the centrarv. as h an- I proaches the events with which he must be asbumed te have intimate personal kuowledgc, thore is a marked deteriora tion in his style and ruothed. a trace of intentional reserve, and a tendency te the perfunotery treatmeut of the politician writing net for the judgment of the future but for the cenjectuicd ' public sentl ment ' of these of his oeuntrymon who have votes that may ba desirable and are certainly formidable." Ne ene can read the work ami fall te fcel that its author was scnsible at every stage of its progress that he was a candidate for president. This is net the mind in which history is te be written, and If Mr. Illaine can ever be conceived of as a philosophical historian he was certainly unforttinate in the time he selected for preparing and launching his literary venture. He avoids thu ego tism of Benten, and time is no jnst com plaint that there is tee much of Illaine lu the book ; but in his treatmeut of the issues and events se fresh iu the popular mind Mr. Hlaine is throughout tlm politi cian, if net partisan, and he as seldom rises te the clear horizontal view of the lilsto lilste riau, ns in his public hfe he rarely rese te the piano of statesmanship. Iu striking contrast with the tene and spirit of Mr. Ulainu's work, is the calm, dispassionate and judicial nrgutnent made for Mr. Uuehauan by Christopher Stuart Patterson, of the Philadelphia bar, who in a brochure of net as great length us ene of Hlalne'H chapters, has fairly stated the condition of things at the outbreak of the war nud the cause, leading up te it.
