WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY" 27, 18G7.
More Cheering Indications from the
South.
We alluded yestordny to the letter of ex-Governor
Brown, of Georgia," urging the people of
that State to immediately go to work and
Organize a government , fn accordance with the
Congressional plan of reconstruction. To-day
ire call attention to a spoech delivered on
Saturday before an informal, meeting of the
. members of the General Assembly of Virginia,
by Governor Tierpont. Like ex-Governor
JJrown, he urges a prompt movement for
Organization under the Congressional bill.
Alluding to the reliance some were placing
Upon the Supreme Court's deciding the law to
be unconstitutional, the Governor said this
Was illusory. The Court had resolved, for the
present, not to interfere with political ques
tions. The Governor said there were two ways to
make the Constitution under this act of Con
gress. The first was for all who desired to
enter into the movement to hold their primary
meetings in each county, and elect delegates
to a central convention, where they would fix
the number of delegates and appoint . their
commissioners to superintend the election of
dolegates to the convention to make a Consti
tution under the provisions of the act.
The other mode was for the present Legisla
ture to promptly pass an act providing for
holding a convention under the restrictions of
this act of Congress. This course was opposed
by some, and it was proposed for them to fold
their arms in indifference, and take no action
in the premises. He was in favor of calling
the Convention in the mode last indicated, be
cause it would be done under the forms of
law, and he thought would be more likely to
secure an acceptable Constitution with the new
element in the body politic, who were to par
ticipate in the elections and government of the
State.
The Governor further expressed the opinion
that, under the act of Congress, not more than
five per cent, of the white voters would be
excluded, lie had determined long since,
Vheu he could not get all' he wanted, to get
the next best he could. In conclusion, he as
sured them if they did not provide for making
a Constitution, one would be made for them.
These utterances, from representative men
like Brown and Tierpont, show that there will
be an immediate movement made in the Rebel
States by the more moderate class of men for
organization on the Congressional plan. If the
fire-eating Rebels fold their hands and stand
On their dignity, they will speedily find them
selves swept out of the way, and left behind
in the great march of events. One of the
chief merits of the Congressional plan is that
it tends to break up the Southern unity of
sentiment, and to array powerful and active
elements on the side of the Government. The
Old ruling classes there are too bigoted and
embittered to at once see the inevitable drift
Of events, and fall in with and direct the
movement. Hence they will sink out of
eight, and a newer and better element will
Come into power, one which will be attached
by sympathy and interest to the Union. The
out-look is more promising than it has been at
any time since the war closed.
How We Get and How We Got Our News.
The reader of The Eveking Telegraph, when
he glances down long columns of telegraphic
despatches, and sees in a moment what is
transpiring at Constantinople and San Fran
cisco, is apt to pass unnoticed the hnmense
organism necessary to the compilation of
Such a variety of information from such dis
tant countries. The process by which the
present system of telegraphic despatches was
completed has been extremely gradual. It
has taken no less than forty years to perfect
the organization of the Associated Press.
Harper's Magazine for March contains an arti
cle on "How we Get our News," which, while
giving a large amount of worthless and unin
teresting details, contains many facts which
are both new and of interest. The journals
Of America previous to 1827 were merely
Organs for personal advancement, and they
. consequently held news as a matter of small
account. To the New 'York Journal of Com
merce belongs the oredit of being the first to
awake from its state of lethargy, and
Infuse new life into the dead carcasses of
metropolitan newspapers. The Journal, like
all other papers, had no means of receiving
foreign news except by waiting until the sail
ing vessels tame up the bay. They wore then
boarded by row-boats, and the foreign files
secured. The Journal, however, decided to
outstrip its competitor and secured a sailing
boat of its own, which passed out the bay and
met the steamers below tho harbor, got the
papers, and made all sail for the city. An
extra would tUen be issued ahead of all com
petition. For1 some time it had a monopoly;
but soon the Courier and Inquirer also secured
a boat, and the rivalry was intense. Journal
istic honor in regard to news was as rare an
article then as now, and tricks were resorted
to to deceive eaeh rivul. The following suc
cessful ruse has been since practised with
effect:
Whenever one paper had "exclusive news,"
I ., ahead of Its rival, the other paper would
delay going to press until 1U more successful
neighbor bad been printed and distributed
liutfugUout tae city. A copy would tuea la ot.

wo.u ...V'!1? 1,8 rPararm, a f.-w hours Into,
but st 11 with the news In full. This trick ha
boon played Severn! times by both parties, when
the Cbvrtr sot a trap, and the Journal-foil Into
It. 1 he ship Anx hud arrived, and the Cowicr
had ltsnews exclusively. James Watson Webb
then Its editor, had a small edition printed con
taining a lonir batch of hljchly Important but
boRus news, oonoocted in his offloo. This small
edition he onrefully distributed In such a way as
to insure that a copy of tho paper should fall
Into the hands of (lie Journal editors. Th.t,.
soquence was that the Journal appeared with
the"boKu8" news. The Courier feathered up It
false edition, circulated the true ono. and ex
posed jttie trickery of Its rival. '
The next step in enterprise was the estab
lishment of tho "pony express," which was
designed to collect news from the interior. It
soon, however, became the means of commu
nicating foreign . nows to Philadelphia and
Washington. A return of news from the
Capital necessitated the sending of an agent
there, the first of whom was James Oordon
Bennett, to whom properly belongs the title of
Father of Washington Correspondents. ; The
introduction of the telegraph did away with
the "pony express," but tho telegraph in
those days was not the network of wires it is
now. A' single wire was' all that could be
secured, and in order' to deal, fairly with all'
the papers, the "fifteen minute'1 rule waa
adopted, which allowed the use of the line to
one journal for that time, and then gave it for
a similar length to another,' until each was
served. This reduced all to a level, and pre
vented any such display of enterprise as that
of a correspondent of the New York Herald,
who once, at the opening of the National
Bridge, we believe, got possession of the wires,
and in order to keep tlLem, directed the ope
rator to commence and telegraph the Book of
Job until he had his despatches written out.
And Bennett commended ' him, regardless
of the expense. To obviate, then, the New
York Associated Press was started. The prin
ciple on which it was first adopted docs not
materially diffor from that now used, it having
been only elaborated with time. The manner
in which a despatch to the Associated Press ii
distributed is not known to many of our
readers. ' ' ' ' ,'.'!
To illustrate the mode of collection, we will
suppose that the New Orleans agent wishes to
send a news telegram. He dates it "New
Orleans," and adds , the day of the month,
without naming the month, leaving it to be
inferred, and addresses the telegram to
"Simonton and Press," Simonton being the.
name of the New York agent; the word "Press"
signifying the papers of .the country taking
the news of the Association. He then gives
the substance of his news : in as few words as
possible, omitting all the , prepositions and
articles whose absence will not render the
telegram unintelligible or dubious of meaning.
The full date and omitted or "catch" words
are, of course, supplied by ' the copyist, who
receives it. The address, Simonton and
Press, insures the "dropping" of the
despatch as it passes ovor the wires at every
point at which there are press agents receiving
the despatches of the Association for the press
of that city. Thus a telegraphic despatch from
New Orleans sent by both seaboard and
Western lines will be taken off the' wires of
the former at Mobile, Montgomery, Milledge
ville, Atlanta, Savannah, Charleston, Raleigh,
Wilmington, Richmond, Washington, Balti
more, and Philadelphia; and from the wires of
the latter line at Vicksburg, Memphis, Louis
ville, St. Louis, Chicago, Pittsburg", Harris
burg, and dozens of other intermediate points
too numerous and too insignificant to mention.
The expense incurred in the reception of
these despatches is but inadequately estimated
by the public. The table we give below ex
plains the rate of tolls charged per word:

A column of The Evening 'Telegraph con
tains, when set in nonpareil, about 2000 words;
a column of Washington despatches would,
therefore, cost $100. As most of the despatches
published are from a greater distance than
the capital, it may be safely inferred that,
were it not for the existence of the Associated
Press, each column of news published would
cost $100. '. ' , ';
A despatch from Europe which,' when pub
lished, makes half a column, or 1125 words,,
did not amount to more than 800 in its origi
nal or "condensed" shape, and the charge of
tho Atlantic Cable Company is therefore only,
on the 800 words actually transmitted. ,, These
800 words cost $2320 delivered in New York
city. When this Sum is divided between 'the
Herald, Times, Sun, Tribune, IJ'orW, w
Journal of Commerce, tlie cost to each $391 .
does not look so formidable. I lie famous
"great Cable despatch," known at the time as
the "King of Prussia's Peace Speech," was
sent specially to the , Herald. The despatch
contained 1010 words, and cost, at. the old
rate of 5 per word, the neat sum of $5083 in
gold, or about $7100 in "greenbacks."! This
sum was divided between six papers,, averag
ing a cost to each of nearly $1200. ,
But we are extending our article too far.'
The contribution to flayer's, from which many
of the facts quoted are taken, is an interesting
narrative of the progress made in journalism.
Looking back at what the papers were twenty
five years ago, and comparing them with those
of the present day, no expectation1 seema
extravagant in regard to what they will be
when the now century dawns. What lias been
done in the past may be more than accom
plished in the futurej and we may see the day
when seeming impossibilities may be every
day events,
Remonstrance of the Riahons Against
. Ritualism. .... i
Thr ritualistic agitation which is prevailing
so extensively', and In some sections' so
violently, in the Episcopal Church, has aHast
called out a strong and serious remonstrance
from nearly the whole body of Bishops inj the
United States. They solemnly declare that:
"Any attempt to introduce into the pdblio
worship of Almighty God usuces that have
never beeu knowu, such as the use of incense,
and the burning of llKhts in the order for
he Holy Communion; reverences to the Holy
Table or to the elements thereon, such as Indi
cate or Imply that tho fiBoriflpe of our Divine
Iiord and Saviour, 'onceoilcrd,' was not a 'full,
perfect, and sulllciout sacrifice, oblation, and
SHtlslHCtlon lor the sins of the wholo world ;'
the adoption of clerical habits hitherto un
known, or mnterial alterations of those which
have been In use slnoe the establishment of
our episcopate, is an Innovation which violates
the discipline of the Church, oltendeth analnnt
Its common order, and hurtelh the authority of
the Magistrate and wouudetli the consciences
of the weak brethren,",,
Furthermore, they include in these censures
all departures from the laws, rubrics, J and
settled order of this Church, as well by defeat
as by excess ' of observance, dosignjng to
maintain in its integrity the sound scriptural
and primitive, and therefore the Catholic and
Apostolic,' 'spirit of the Book of Common
Prayer. - .' .".'.',, ' I

I What is a. Congress ? Our '
cratic contemporary declares that
Constitution requires a Congress
Demo-
! "the

to be
a body in M'hich each Slate 1 is 'represented
for legislation;" and concludes that as ! "the
ten Southern States are not represented," and
also "New Hampshire, Connecticut, Tennes
seej Rhode Island, Kentucky, and California,"
that therefore the Fortieth Congress, meeting
on the 5th of March, is illegal. If the pre
sence of Representatives from' all the States
is necessary, , how, then, is power, given to
the President to call Congress together when
he sees lit? Is it the fault of the.Unitod States
that the Eastern States see fit to elect members
in the spring instead of the fall ? And are we
to have no Congress in existence from the
4th of March until the middle of May, when
the last of the States elect ? The 'idea is pre
posterous. ,-, Again, if Representatives from
each State are essential, suppose Delaware
should fail to make a choice a contingency
possible when three candidates are in the
field would that invalidate Congress ? Yet,
if each State must bo represented, Delaware
has the power to annul the entire Government

Governor Geary's Temperance Speech.'
The short speech of Governor Geary before tho
great Temperance Convention at Harrisburg
yesterday will . be read with interest by the
publio generally. He declared that during
his entire eventful career, on the Pacific coast,
in Mexico, in Kansas, and during tho recent
war, he had found no occasion to use intoxi
cating liquors.. Moreover, he had conducted
his late political canvass, so far a3 he was con
cerned, on strict temperance principles, had
used no whisky at his inauguration, and ex
pected to perform the duties of his office with
out tasting a drop of intoxicating drinks. - He
also announced that General Grant was about
to identify himself with this great reformatory
movement.' " ; ' " ' ' ' ! '
The people may well rejoice that they have,
called such a man to the office of Chief Magis
trate, of the Commonwealth. , His 'influence
will tell powerfully on the side of sobriety and
sound morals. i
