Jtlltotlttl Opinion of tint l.rmllna .foin-nnl I imiii ( nri-cnt Toplr -Oini'Hod Uverv lnv lor Ihc Rvenln Ti'li'MMiih. GOVERNMENT AND THE TELEOllAni. From the X. Y. Timn. 'Jim T i 1 1 enabling Ihn HritMi Government to netpiiie possession of the tcleniphs has lieeome law. As soon as the necessary ar rangements are perfected, the various iines in tho United Kingdom will pass under the management of the I'ost Olliee Department. This result has not been reached without prolonged ell'ort nnd vigorous opposition. Until now the Dritish telegraphic system has been identieal with that which still exists lure. The service was in the hands of private coiiiprtnies.w hose charges nnd general manage ment excited discontent among the mercantile classes. Their complaints led the Postmaster-General to institute inquiries into tho working of the postal telegraph system adopted on the Continent, and conducted with ndmirahle precision and success by the governments of J'rance. I'.elgium, and Switzerland. The con clusion otlieially arrived at was favorable to the acquisition of control by tho Govern ment, nnd the incorporation f the manage ment with that of the l'ost Oiliee, "Under Ihe existing system," it was reported, ''the development of telegraphic cor respondence has beon retarded," while under government direct ion" the growth Of such correspondence has been greatly stimulated iu Delgiuin and Switzer land. " The opinion was expressed that like results would follow the change iu England that ''from the annexation of the telegraph to the Post Otliee would accrue great advantage io the public, nnd ultimately a large revenue to the State."' This was in 1 Mill. Two years nfter the subject ngain occupied tho attenlion of the Tost Otliee Department, and assumed definite shape in tho J louse of Commons. Statement nnd counter-statement, argument nnd reply, were heard by n committee, nnd lho first step was taken with tho measures which on Tuesday last received tho Queen's auction. Tho delny has proved costly to the British Treasury. Tho earliest estimate of the cost of purchasing the various lines was (.':;, .Mio.oi it i (sterling, which by a supplementary estimate wns raised to i:;.Min.oio. Tho telegraph companies, however, claimed higher prices, which were still further s.vollen on ac count of reversionary rights owned by rail way companies. Negotiations were opened which ended in the adjustment of a basis for the proposed purchase. Tho leading tele graph lines nre to be bought up at twenty years' purchase on their receipts of lsiis an excessive rate of valuation for the plant nnd good-will of a commercial enterprise, nnd one which seems to have been nccepfed by tho Parliamentary Committee iu ignorance of its probable nmount. In some instances the compensation allowed is exceptionally exorbi tant. Thus, one company, not content with twenty years' profits, has secured twenty years' purchase of tho probable annual in crease of profits in addition to tho market value of its shares. A total valuation which tit first was computed at CU, 000,000 has grown to 7,000,000 sterling the sum pro vided by Parliament. It is not surprising that the prospect of this extravagant bargain lias acted like magic upon the market price of many of the shares. Tor example, the Elec tric and International Company's shares have risen from Xl: to t."."(, nnd the premium on lleuter's shares has been multiplied nine times. The terms of the bargain, however, nre a matter of detail which in no way atl'eets the merits of the policy on which the Govern ment has proceeded. Whether it pays more or less than the precise value of tho lines ac quired is a question to bo convidered in eon nection with tho immediate business profit of the transaction, but it leaves untouched the principle that underlies the junction of the telegraphic with tho postal service. The two services are in their nature identi cal. Telegraphic messages nro a form of correspondence. They are letters Hashed with the speed of lightning. If the Govern ment may properly carry hitters, it may with equal propriety convey tr legrnpuie despatches. In both instances it acts as the great mail carrier for the people. But the Government conducts the Post Office business by more than a permissive right. The service it renders in this respect is one which nothing less than a governmen tal organization may bo relied upon to per form. The postal system is in some particu lars more perfect in England than here; but neither here nor there could it bo conducted with a tithe of the certainty and efficiency, or at the same rate, by any other agency. Public opinion would revolt against a scheme for sur rendering tho work of the Postal Department to railroad or express companies, because the change would subject tho service to the greed and caprice of corporations conducted solely with a view to their own profit. The perform ance of the service by tho Government does not always imply a monopoly of that service. But the country would foel that its rights were better cared for nnd its interests more fully respected by the concentration of postal privileges in the hands of Government than ly any guarantees which private corporations Could ntford. Exactly the same considerations apply to the telegraph. "We have no desire to under value the accommodation afforded by the companies whoso wires cover tho continent as with a net. The ir enterprise has accom plished much. But it were folly to pretend that they have made the conveyance of mes sages as efficient as it can bo made. Judging of it only by whnt wo see hero, it is a great convenience. But judged by tho system ' which European governments have devo loped, it is iu almost all respects unsatisfac tory. Its rates are extravagant, and tho laci lities it affords are inconsiderable in compari son with those which might be afforded by nostal management. The leading recommendations of tho postal leletrranh are cheat mess, uniformity of charges, and what may bo termed the uni versality of its machinery. Every post otliee on the routes traversed by telegraphs is a sta tion for the receipt, transmission, and distri bution of messages. Telegraphic facilities mi these routcH nro thus made co-extensive with those for tho postal system. And ibo ebnrrrn for the (service performed is irrespective of distance. Tho same reason inc which justifies the conveyance of a letter regardless 01 uisiance, incucuies iuu civ uliencv of transmittinc a telegraphic des fc&tch wherever tho arrangements of the Vnt. Office extend at a uniform rate. The JJritisb government intends to charge a uni form rate of one shilling, and moreover to so extend the teiegmpu uu u huuu re cvcij money-order office in the kingdom. It is be lieved that in less than three years the rate mar be reduced to sixpence. Were this coun try to ftdopt tlio same isystoiu, we might hope of tweiity-ftvo couts, or even loss. I neni) telegraphs, like cheap letters, do not involve Permanent loss to the Government. lhp penny postage system in England is a source of profit. And in Belgium and Swit zerland, with low nnd uniform rates, the re ceipts of the telegraph have already more than covered the cost of construction and management. There seems no reason to fiouht the realization of a similar result in England, or in this country, when public opinion shall have ripened for'tho change. nr.cr.XT south mix elections. From the X. Y. Tribune, The Senter Bepublicnns (lf Tennessee nre not so jolly as they had hoped to be. Their "Conservative" allies proved not only more ruinous but more exacting than they had an ticipated. Though there was no outright bar gain, it was clearly understood by those' Re publicans that enfranchisement was all that the "Conservatives" were to ask or claim at this election that, this being secured, they would vote not only for Senter but for espe cial friends for the'Legishiture. At the last moment, however, "Conservative" candidates for the Legislature were nominated or voted for without having been openly nominated nnd most of them easily elected over the divided nnd conflicting Republicans. The Senter Republicans have therefore carried Senter: the "Conservatives" have clutched nearly everything else. And there is. natu rally, some hnrd feeling on the sub ject. (Jen. Grnnt had ."C,7.'.7 votes in the State last fall: and these would have been about equally divided 011 Governor: but the later developments of "Conservative" avidity probably changed some thousands of these from Senter to Stokes, who thus received some ."O.ooo to 10,0110 votes. Heater's vole will probably reach loo.ooo, made up nearly ns follows: Republicans L'o.odii Seymour voters last year l.".ooo Newly enfranchised 000 The "conservatives" have won a triumph too sweeping to be secure. Already, some of the old Rebel oracles begin to talk of "a white man's government," and nu open alli ance on that platform with the Northern Democracy. They will doubtless so manage as to unite and invigorate the Republicans ut an early day; but this they think they can afford. By our estimate they are so. 000 strong: while the Republicans are but (lo.oo'i. 'the former are not likely to ignore this disparity. "There you see the effect of Rebel enfran chisement '." says a Stokes man. Certainly. It would doubtless have been wiser in the Republicans to enfranchise the Rebels by n generous act of amnesty than to h t them enfranchise themselves, as. by Set ter's help, they have just done. There is always a right way to do whatever needs doing: and taking another way. or letting it be taken, involves trouble. But the champions of wholesale, indefinite proscription persistently shut their eyes to controlling facts. They talk as though a pyramid would stand on its apex forever: but it won't. Had Seymour been elected last fall, the conservatives would have enfranchised themselves by the shortest w ay, law or no law. There would probably have been collision and a season of anarchy possibly of bloodshed but they would have been voters in the end. They have now attained that end in a belter way, though not tho best. The last Legisla ture should have enfranchised at least the better half of them. Virginia seems quietly nivaiting General Canity's official declaration of the result of her late struggle. If there are complaints that any have been proscribed, or ejected from their tenements, or turned off by their employers for voting as they chose last month, we do not hear them. But we do hear that General Canity persists in his purpose of ex acting tho iron-clad oath of every member of the new Legislature, nnd deeply regret it. We see no end to be achieved by it but that of converting the triumphant Walker party into an anti-administration party nnd embit tering tho political feuds of Virginia for years to come. If the effect be to deprive the ma jority of United States Senators and enable the minority to elect them, the wrong will be greater and tho blunder more fatal. We must cherish the hoiio that General Caubv will vet be induced "let accept the situation" ns fullv if not so heartily, as the late Rebels appear to have done. -Alabama has just witnessed a straight forward party contest: anil there the Reimb licans have triumphed, choosing four of tho six Representatives in Congress. One of the Democrats chosen is Peter Jl. Dox, well known in the politics of our State, first as a hig, then as a Silver Gray, lastly as t pro-slavery "Democrat. " (N. B. "Carpet baggers" nre not obnoxious at the South unless they are Republicans; then they nre,; We trust that Colonel Dox may be able to take the iron-clad oath, as it don't require him to swear that he wished the Rebels de feated in the late unpleasantness We hope soon to hear that the Republi cans of tho South have everywhere discarded the policy of proscribing or disfranchising the lato Rebels. J rue, they may bo beaten by the votes now nullified by this policy; but triumphs won by confining the sun rage prac tically to one party are fragile and illusory, as Andrew Johnson found when he made Ten nessee vote for Lincoln and himself hi '(It as Colonel Stokes has just discovered. The only safe and solid ground to .stand on is that of all rights lor all, OUR PROTECTION-RUINED CHINA TRADE. From the X. Y. World. The organs of protection do not like the 11 orlil s exposure of the ruin they have brought upon the manufacturing interests of the country by shutting American goods out ot toreign markets and making exports uu profitable ami impossible, i hey chafe most sorely under the exposure of the poverty of our fabric export trade with China, which we deluge with our gold nnd silver to pay for tho tens and silks wo consume, instead ol paying ns we might but for the tariff, with tho handi work of American men and women. We used to send cotton fabrics to China in our tea ships; why none now? The Tribune essays to answer by the statement that "our large export to China of drillings and other substantial cotton fill tries grew up aud flour ished under the stringent protection afforded to our cotton manufactures by tho tariffs of lsiil, 11, lX-.'S, and 1SIJ under duties more protective, all things considered, than those now in operation." Mr. Greeley, like most protectionists, is as precisely wrong in his facts as in his reason ing. Duties ure higher now than then, and his argument, if it could prove anything, should prove that our export trade to China ought to bo immensely increased by the pre sent tariff instoad of ruined ns it is. The tariff of isi(! averaged '27 per cent. The tariff of lHL't averaged 27 per cent. The tariff of 1 H'.'H averaged 4 1 per cent. Tho tariff of 1S-12 averaged Il't per cent. But tho average tariff for five year post has for n uniform clinr"e mo-tt I linlmv torilt of nil Yet tlipso urn tint (1m li uiul palmy days of our China trad Mr. Greelev alleges another bogus reason the wnr for the Union, upon which "all our nergies nnd means were concentrate 1." It is doubtless true that his loyal brethren, who denounced everybody but themselves as traitors, prefeired selling shoddy to the Gov- liiiuent at a swindling profit, and co-opeiut-.g with men like Mr. Greeley's esteemed and respected Sickles to cheat the Govern ment at both ends of every bargain, to s- lln.g tods to Chinnmcn full weigh, measure, ni t lunlity for an honest price. Their sh 1 1 ly ivally paid better than legitimate ti l l ': but Mr. Greeley ought to know that the China rade. if profitable, wo:, LI still have been e tr ied 011. but the tariff, which he would verily nieiease to prott it American tca-growmg. soon made our export I rade iutnossible. One more bogus reason alleged is that our ort ign commerce was '-lven to the names bv treat Britain's Alnhnmas. On tos, an 1 Khetian- doahs. That was certainly in part a valid eason for a time: it is not a valid reason, five ears after the Rebel cruisers have; ceased to xist. why we are unable to manufacture? and xitoit to China i;oo.ooji etr 7 10.000 pieces of elrill nnd a million pieces ot other cotton tariif has made and the 'l'r'i,i had of Hit? crime fabrics. But the protective an export trade impossible, is as little sense as ever it of lashing popular passions into fury and provoking civil or foieign wars. "But our loss is partly caused, also, by the ontinued inflation of the currency." One ounce of truth in n bushel etf bubble. But who created, who inllated this irredeemable urreney, and who now make specie payments is impossible as an export Initio to China on, the Jrtl"n ; you, the Republican part v. With your high tariff men iu combination to enrich the rings, you passed the legal-tender act -au act as lawless as your military eom missitins, and senseless as your management of the war. You defended it, and denounced the 'o ril ns disloyal lor denouncing it. The successive inflations which we have protested gainst you have paltered over or openly ap roved. Having absolute power, you created this wretched currency and inflated it from worse to worse, nnd are now confessedly ro fqiotisible for all the ruin which it has contri- uteel to wreak upon our export trade with China and the rest of the world. THE CONSPIRACY AGAINST REPUBLI CANISM. cm the X. Y. Fun. Mr. Roberts, the Spanish Minister, indoc trinated by the Bonaparte Legation at Wash ington: Mr. Thornton, the British Minister, waiting like Micawber for something to turn up: and Mr. Hamilton Pish, gravely ponder ing over this coalition of Serrano, Bonaparte. ind Clarendon against American republican ism, whether the scene ot it be laid 111 the United States, in Peru, in Cuba, or in Mexico all these personages, taken to gether, now present a somewhat grotesque pectaele. Considering the demoralized condition of ;errano's Government, ami the waning pre-- tige of Napoleon s empire, the desperate at tempts of these rulers to wield or retain a power on the American continent which is lipping lrom their lingers 111 the Old oriel should produce in this country nothing but a feeling ot contempt and derision, if it were not for the fact that the welfare of our sister republics is put in danger by these intriguers ot La Gruuja anil the Tuilerios. To w hat extent tho agents ol Bonaparte and Cha'endon will be permit t eel to poke their noses into matters in which they are not au thorized to intermeddle, remains to be seen. One thing, however, is certain: no European Government would for one moment tolerate the impertinent interference which the Ame rican Government countenances so foolishly on the part of representatives of Old World powers in the I luted States. it must also lie borne in mind that the Secretary of State has not far to go to find lawyers who, although they are not officially connected with the administration, are but too happy to give a lift te that Old World des potism which they would fain see established in this part ot the globe, these lawyers, under the plausible cover of a distinguished professional reputation, impose upon the good nature and ductile spirit of Mr. Fish, and thus exert a kind of magnetic influence over his decisions, the painful effect of which has been apparent more than once. Mr. Roberts. toe, is unsparing in his efforts to bring professional influence to bear upon the American government; while the Bonnpartist agents are only continuing the kind of work which Louis Napoleon initiated at the time of his invasion of the Mexican republic. By playing into the hands of Spain in regard to Peru and Cuba, Louis Napoleon is well aware that ho strengthens the chains of slavery and checks the progress of repub lican principles. With so high an occasion for the exercise of his zeal, who can wonder at the activity of his agents, or at their sinis ter coalition with the emissaries of Serrano'.' THE MEN OP THE SECOND AWAY. EMPIRE PASSING From the X. Y. IL'i aUU All men are mortal, and the men of tho t ii'l iru proclaimed iu France on the l1 day of December. lfCC, cannot escape the universal law. One after another of the leading con federates of Charles Louis Napoleon Bonaparte in establishing that empire on the ruins of the republic of 1M-IS have Wen successively passing away, until the Emperor, who is him self reported as sick by tho cable telegram of Thursday, is left almost alone. Marshal do St. Arn'aud, Marshal Pelissier (Duke do Mf.lr.koff), the Duke do Moray, the Ci'inte de Walewski. Minister Fould, Secretary Mocquard, and n dozen other con- spicuous imperialists have hail to leave all their fresh-blown dignities and die. Marshal Niel, who has been as blind a devotee to Na poleonic ideas as any of his contemporaries, and whose superior military talents have shed more lustre on the reign ot Napoleon ill than it has derived from any other source, died on Saturday. It remains to be seen whether the successors of tho ori ginal military and civil advisers and aids of the Empcretr will co-operate with him in strengthening his dynasty by gradually ful filling his promise aud tho desire ot tho French people and "crowning the edifice with liberty.' The peace of Europo as well as tho prosperity of Franco largely depend not only on the will of Napoleon, but on tho character of the men whom he shall select to replace his confidants of 1s;,l'. G ENERAL GRANT'S AMBITION From the X. Y. Herald. General Grant, not long before ho entered the White House, said ho would rather be tho Mayor of Galena tho town of his former residence than bo President, meaning, as we suppose, that his highest ambition was to be useful in a comparatively limited sphere. We give him due credit for that, believing ho is patriotic nnd desirous of doing tho best ho enn for the welfare of the people. This ex pression bhows, too, that ho had au humble 1eeti H per cent llio 'highest and opinion of himself. While we can admiro hi modesty, wo think he underestimated his ability. As a military man ho showed groat capacity -dmwed, in fact, that his mind de veloped according to the exigencies etf tho service, and that it was equal to (ho most try ing circumstances. Jf he would lift himself out of the mire of party politics and the tram mels of the parly pohi icians that surro m 1 him. he might beconi" as distinguished in his present high office? as he was in the war. Though he might not have desired the Presi dency, nnd may not want to have it another term, his ambition to be useful may be grt'i f'u d far more in his present position than if he were Mayor of Galena. Will the' President, as he intended when ho first entered upon his elutie.-. emancipate himself from the schemes etf party politicians and ud-ipl his policy to flit' conservative sentiment of the country':1 The reign tit radicalism was 1111 abnormal condition of things. It cannot endure. If General Grant be wise he will see this, and pursue a course in consonance with public opinion and the interests of the country. WATCHES, JEWELRY, ETC. vt,WIS LADOMUS & CO.
