That letter argues tbe propriety of govern ment assuming control kot tbe Telegraph, and It make the wild and we think tbe abanrd tatement will eventually, assume tba management ol tbe railway ol the country. Now that a mere tbeoriat, who hai teeo nothing practical all ble life, should utter such a tenllment we might lie- lie ve, but that a man who bai run a dally newspaper, and ba Been what mere gai theories are made from, should advance such a sentiment i rather remarkable. Very serious abiiaei exist under the, man agemeol of the Telegraph, and under tbe management of railways, but such are worth not a moment' consideration compared with abuse tbal would exist under govern mental management. And we lay tbi from the fact that la netbivg ibe Govern ment touches can It favorably compare with private management. Take out mail, and tba Or st snow flurry pile tbem in heaps along tba way, while by private enterprise aad management tba newspaper come through on time. Instead af committing tba Telegraph lo the Incompetent, careless, irresponsibility of Government, it would be far batter to take Ibe walls out of tbe bands of tba Governmeul and place them among .ek.e. a.r. th..
