THE POSTAL TELEGRAM. ,
The House Committee on Postoffices
and Post-roads have rendered an adverse
report on the several schemes of Mr. E.
B. Washburn, Mr. 6. G. Hubbard, and
Mr. J. P. Hall for the establishment of
postal telegraphs. The Conei ttee be

tariff' of one cent a word, exclusive of
date, addrentiand slgnature,• with five
cents_ additional for postaize and delivery.
It appropriates for the construction of the
line $1 goo which, in an accompanying
paper; Mr. Washburne thinks ample to
construct the line and sustain it until
it becomes self-aufforting. Trauma:Wel ,
and remunerative to the Government, 1
the lines are to _be gradually extend

Mr. Hubbard asks for the • passage of ;a
law, which, by one act of legielation.
should create a new branch of public
service, the postal telegraph system, and
also grant a charter to him and his asap

K hich it held t e right to subsequently

Mr. Washburne's plan is next dis
cussed, and decided to be ono not calcu
lated to succeed, the appropriation being
inadequate, and two systems, public and
puccessrivate. fu not being able to work together
slly for either to benefit the pub
lic. By figures, it is demonstrated that
the Belgium . postal telegraph arrgnge
ments and sumemea should not,for vari
ety of reasons, be eaampled or cited in this
countryin favor of the system. Theop
ovations n Swi tzerland,Prussi a and Eng
land are compared with what they would
be in this country, Without deducing/nay
thing favorable to the mists! telegraph.
Mr. Hubbard's scheme Should not be
accepted, as Congretss in 1866 refused to
grant charters of like import, add there
has been nothing to demand a reversal
of that decision. The pressdoes not urge
it, the people do n t petition for It, Leg
-
t
islatures have not used resolutions
voring the fa
change. The Constit
right of Congress togrant a charter touttonal a
Drivats company to build telegraph lines
within. States !without their consent is
very questionable.
Mr. Hubbard's scheate violates a radi
cal princi ple , in respect to Government
work. Whatever service falls- within
the proper functions of the Government,
should be perforrhed by it' immediately,
and not through the intervention ofri
vate parties leaping an
~intermediate
profit. It is a proper subject of taxation
and the whole revenue which it yields
belongs to the Treasury.' No company,
looking for ten per cent. dividends, can
be 'allowed to intervene.
, Mr. ll'ubbard's scheme mixes the ser
vice and the servants of the contractors
and of the Government in such a man
uer that tha public will fall between two
stools. How is this .system to be made
profitable to the contractor' It can only
Ire done' by potting , nearly all the cast
upon thp Government. ''The'cost and
maintenonce of lines and the wages of
operators, are all that ;tail on the con
