The Senate postefllco commlttce la
considering the question of establishing
a telegraphic postal service, nnd ia said
te be Btrengly inclined te the notion of
the advisability of the scheme. Mr.
Rebert Garrett, of the Baltimore- nnd
Ohie railroad, with Mr. D. II. Dates,
the superintendent of tiln company's
telegraph lines, were- before the Senate
committee en Saturday,and n very frank
talk waa had en telegraphic matters.
Mr. Garrett flakl that the Baltimore and
Ohie railroad company waa putting into
execution its purpose te extend its tele
graph llnea be aa te communicate
with every important place in
the country, that it was doing
be because it saw a grent profit in
the telegraph business, and believed that
new was an exceptionally geed time te
extend its system of lines. As they
already had a telegraph organization and
plant, the additional cost of extending
their service would be comparatively
small. Before going any farther In their
enterprise however, they desired te
knew what the United States proposed
doing in regard te establishing a postal
telegraph system. Mr. Garrett assured
the committee that the telegraph line ids
company would build would alwnys
rem aln u der iUcontrel.
In answer te pointed questions' from
senators as te what guarantee he could
glve them that his lines would net be
sold out eventually te the Western Union,
upon its eiler te pay for them four or
five times their cost, Mr. Garrett said
that he would give any guarantee at all
that the committee could devise ; that
he thought the record which the Haiti- j
mera and Ohie had made of its oppesi
tien te any such surrender of Its business
waa a valuable guarantee in Itself ; he
said that the directors of ills company
believed that there waa a greater profit
In Btere for them in giving the public a
geed service than they could reap by
selling out their business nt any price.
He asked the committee whether they
were aware of the profits that lurk
ed in the telegraph business ; and told
them that his telegraph company had
already leased a sufficient number of
wires between Chloage and New Yerk,
at $10,000 a year te pay four per cent,
interest upon the entire estimated cost
of the proposed extension of their lines
ever the country, three millions of dol
lars; they were therefore assured in
advance of the interest upon their
whele Investment from this small part
of their enterprise. Mr. Garrett further
said that liia company would be disposed
te accept a rate of charges that would
be fixed by Congress upon the recem.
msndatlen of a commission of persons
acquainted with the business.
Mr. Bates In his testimony said that
formerly the right of way for a telegraph
line bad been cheaply obtained, but that
new It had become a matter of serious
difficulty. It was no longer possible te
go through eltiea of any size without
paying heavily for the privilege, nud
railroad companies were very exacting In
their demands. In answer te the lnqalry
its te wny imes count net ua uum meug I
ranreaus, just eutsiue or inuir rigui or
way, the witness said that the contracts
of the railroad with the telegraph com
panies already established generally pro
vided that they would net deliver poles
or materials te any ether telegraph com
pany nleng their lines.
The Senate committce was probably
ns much enlightened and refreshed by
all this testimony ns the public will be.
It is apparent from it that the Western
Union company's monopoly is at an end
and that that deg has had its day. As
Mr. Garrett said, " the day of cembina
tlen la ever." Whether the United States
establish a pe3tal telegraph or net
cheap telegraphy is our corning '.been'.
It will be cheap because it cau be afford
ed cheap by private enterprise. The so se
ductlve rate of telegraphic profits, how
ever, will be likely te confirm the Senate
committee in its disposition te recem
mend a public telegraph service. There
ia no reason why the postefllco depart
ment should net put telegraph and tele
phone instruments in till the pMtefilces
in the country. The theory upon which
the government furnishes in ill facili
ties will sustain it lu ufferdiug telegraph
facilities, and it ought te be able te de
this servlce cheaper than any one else
It will be at no additional expense for
office rent, light, heat or attendance,
Bive the skilled labor additionally need
ed. The postefllco Beeraa te be the
proper place for the telegraph and tele'
phene efilee, nud we can imagine no
reason against the scheme, save the
danger that the government will b8 led
te buy out the existing lines at prices
greater than their intrinsic value.
If it enters Inte the business, the govern,
ment should build its own llnea if it can
net buy these already laid, at a Uss cost.
The government should pay nothing for
rights of way, which naturally belong te
it ; nor anything for the geed will of the
present companies, for such geed will Is
of no value te It. It should enter into
the business en the cheapest basis and In
opposition te the exlfltlng llnea, if they
are disposed te malntalu such opposi
tion. Tne .Ewimtnsr la entirely mistaken in

It is with sincere ami earnest gratitude
te G.'d that we present this nixty soventh
lepert of the Laucast'-r City Hible society.
We humbly acknowledge our indebtedness
te Hun fur whatever geed we may have
accempllkhcd through this ngetiey. Whilst
we haie net dene much toward the distri
butien of theliible in our own community,
we have been able te give some help te the
Pennsylvania and the American llible
societies. We donated te these societies
during the past car three hundred ami
fifty dollars. The amount is uet large,but
in the hands of such a thoroughly organ
ized, lar reaching and efileiciit society as
the American llible society Is known te
be, we may expect from it great and
blessed lesults.
The Pennsylvania society during the
past ear distributed 60,001) Uibles, 11:,
$20 Testaments, U,!U2 Tostameuts with
Psalms, 'Jf.leS portions of the Hib'e, mak
ing a total of 171,!0e volumes of 17 differ
cut languages, aud in raued letters ler the
blind.
The American Bible seciety last jear
commenced ami carried forward the im
mouse work of resupplying the United
States and territories with Hibles for the
fourth time, lu th prosecution of this
work evor 500 moil were employed for ;i
Ien ter or shorter period They traveled
5")(l:ii3 miles, visited TijO.UtO families,
found &7.030 families without Hibles vi
their homes, and supplied CO.G 10 of these
families, besides 37, 553 individuals. They
distributed iu all 310,010 copies of the
Hely scriptures
This is an age of enterprise aud progrefs.
Hnlre.ids arc spreading and multiplying
all ever our ceuutry, and bilugiug remote
localities into easy and rapid communica
tion. Ami estimating the future by the
past, we shall have in our country, within,
twenty years, a population equal te that,
new in Great Britain, Germany aud Fiauce
oembiuod ; and the future character aud
destiny of the people in our widely ox ex
tended aud grewiug ceuutry will very
largely depeud upon the distribution of the
liible among them. Houce we should
give all possible aid te the seciety iu thin
great and beuoticeut undertaking. The
seciety has enlarged aud earnestly prose
cuted its work among foreign nations.
Twe hundred and fourteen persons were
employed last year, who distributed -170,-OHi
Hibles, Testaments and portions of the
Bible, at au expense of $1-10,754,
The Bible has new been translated into
2.20 languages, or dialects. The llev. Dr.
Tayler, speaking ou the subject, a vys :
"Uehliid each et these translations thore is
a long history of self sicrillce, unwearying
perseverance aud unflinching loyalty te
tiuth, of which little account is taken, and
bofeiu each of them tliore is a course el
g itheriug volume and fertilizing inlluouce
hke that of the river which Ezektel saw
issuing from beneath the altar, aud of
which it was said 'Everything shall live
whither the river comet h.' "
This work of translating the Blbl. into
se many difforeut lauguages or dialects
necessarily involves great expeuse, aud in
its prosecution the society needs and should
have our liberal support. The whele num
ber of Bibles issued bv tbe seciety duriug
07 years amounts te 12,083,81U And who
eiu estimate or comprehend all thoblcssed
results of such au immense distribution of
thn Bible?
Knewing what we ewo te the Bible as
individuals, what we ewo te it as a nation,
let us all oemo, with mero s!f sacrificing
liberality, te the support of the soeioty
which is se efficiently eugaged in tbe great
work of its preparatien and distribution
among all nations throughout the world,

Rev. Win. Whlte Wilsen, of Klttanning,
Armstrong ceuuty, Pa , who occupied tlie
pulpit of St. Jehn's Episcopal ohureh,
Suuday morning and evcnlng, made many
friends in this elty by thu practical and
oleqtiont sermons prenehed by him. lu
the inerniug his text was : " Hew often
would I have gathered my ohildteu to
gether as a lien doth gather her broe 1
under her wings, but ye would net," His
thome was the wonderful exhibition et
the Saviour towards the rebellious poeplo
of Ierael. In the evcnlng the text was,
" Walk by faith, and net by sight." The
roverond orator used no notes, hut dis
coursed most logically and held his audi
ence captive by the foieo of Ida nrgument
aud the purity of his diotleu, Thoehr
flttlugly supplemented the morning sermon
by its admirable rendition of Millard's Te
Deum. The attondauce, both morning
and evening, was large,
