F.HILLIARP, of Washington twp Postal Telegraph. The strike of the telegraphers and the consequent interference with the business of the country has revived discussion of the postal telegraph question. The sentiment of the press which reflects the opinion of the pub lic, is generally in favor of the estab lishment of a Government telegraph service. Charles Sumner, October 12, 1875, delivered a lecture in San Fraa cipco on the postal telegraph, wherein he said that we must look to a Gov ernment telegraph system as the only effective remedy for the evils and bur dens of telegraph monopoly. One straight blow of legislation, he said, and the reform is established and ren dered as enduring as the Republic it self. Senator Edmunds, on the floor of the Senate, and in an article pub lished in the North American Review, expressed the hope that the day was not far distant when the postal tele graph would exist in every city and village of the country. The report of the special committee to the National Board of Trade in De cember, 1880, after an examination of the unsatisfactory service, high charg es and frequent consolidations of the company which hasenjoyed a monopoly of the telegraph business of the United States, recommended the establishment of a postal telegraph. The report made to Congress March 3, 1883, by the committee on Post-offices and Post roads, with a favorable recommenda tion of a bill authorizing the appoint ment of a commission to examine into the telegraph system of the country, gave a full history of the many consoli dations which the Western Union Company had brought about by the use of annoying litigation, and con cluded that, although there had been an increase of the Western Union capital from $40,000,000 in 1880 to $80,000,000 in 1881, a diyidend of six per cent, bad been paid on the doubled capital and a surplus accumulated, thus proving that telegraph rates could be reduced by the construction of lines for cash. The act of 1866 gives Congress the power to purchase at an appraisal the property of companies assenting to its provisions, among which companies •was the Western Union. A postal telegraph was established in England in 1869. In 1881 the the length of wires was 121,000 miles. The number of despatches sent in 1881 was 31,345,861; the gross receipts, £1,633,884 ; expenses, £1,305,006. The price of a message of twenty words to any part of the United Kingdom is twenty-five cents, while in Canada it is five cents lower. In 1882 Mr. Fawcett, the postmaster general, seconded a motion in the House of Commons to reduce the rate for .domestic telegraph ing from one shilling to sixpence. In 1881 the Western Union Company operated 327,171 miles of wire and transmitted 32,500,060 messages. The receipts were $14,393,543.85 ; the ex penses, $8,485,264.13. In England, Germany and other European countries the postal telegraph has reduced the price per message and proved profita ble to the Government. The main objections to a postal telegraph in the United States are that it would add immensely to the patron age at the bestowal of the party con troling the Government, and that a postal telegraph could only be attained by the purchase of telegraph property whose valuation has been greatly in flated above its actual worth. The Government could build telegraph lines more cheaply than it could buy the lines already constructed, but it is no part of the business or policy of the Government to injure the property of individuals by becoming their com petitors for the patronage of the public. Should the Government erect lines in opposition to the Western Union, as has been unwisely suggested, the ser vice and business would both bo un satisfactory. As it is with the mails it must be with the postal telegraph. To be successful the Government should control the entire telegraphic system of the country. But until the civil service of the United States is so thoroughly pro tected from the shifting of political winds that qualifications, merit, char acter and general capacity to perform the work at hand form the criterion which determines Government ap pointments, and until permanence in office is guaranteed faithful and capa ble Government employees, there is no assurance that the service of a postal telegraph would not be less satisfactory than the present telegraphic service. The way to a postal telegraph is through the establishment of tbp civil service upon the firm basis which guarantees the successful conduct of private business.— Philadelphia Press. Large Shipments of Arms and Ammunition to China. Five hundred cases of arms and am munition were sent from San Frau cisco last Thursday, on the Pacific mail steamship Comstock. All the cases were from Springfield, Mass, and those containing ammunition were branded "U. S. Government, 4 calibre." It is said during the last eighteen months extensive shipments of war material have been regularly made to C. Schmidt, at Shanghai. "Duriner that period 240,000 Spring field rifles and 25,000,000 cartridges in all have been forwarded, besides from 500 to 800 bales of cotton duck, suita ble for tents, by express by each steamer for China. The total value of the war material approximates $5,000,- 000. THERE is to be a half hour more time in trains on the P. & W. road, narrow gauge, between Foxburg and C&llerj. THE NEW RAILROAD REACH- ES BUTLER. Days of Interest to Our People —The New Road Saluted. Last Thursday and Friday were days of interest to our citizens. The fourth railroad had reached our town and there was general rejoicing. 'I he "Connecting Link'' was made, the last spike being driven on Thursday evening, Aug. 9. On the event being known a general salute was given from the whistles of the locomotives of the other roads, by the ringing of bells and other demonstrations of joy. On the next day the new road carried a large number of the State Militia to Greenville, on the way to their en campment at Conneaut Lake. Thus has been opened another im portant route to and from this place. The connecting link connects us with the main branch of the Shenango and Allegheny Railroad, near New Hope this county. This opens up to trade and travel what is supposed to be the richest part of our county in coal and other minerals. In coal especially large fields will undoubtedly now be d eveloped and much additional busi ness be done in that line. It will also give a speedy and cheap communica tion with Butler to the citizens of about ten of our townships. The very heart of the county it may be said is now penetrated by railway. A glance at the map and a calcula tion show that to any one going North, to Mercer, Greenville, Meadville or Erie, the connecting link shortens their travel about twenty-five miles. Green ville can now be reached in about 60 miles, or less. By New Castle, or any other present railroad route, it takes about 85 miles travel to reach that point. As Greenville is on the direct way to Meadville and Erie it will con sequently shorten the route to those places about the same number of miles. To Oil City, Corry, Titusville, and other points North it will be just about as short a route as auy other that can now be traveled. Much credit must be giyen to the managers of the Shenango and Al legheny for their energy and untiring efforts to hasten the completion of this road to Butler. Mr. Steele, the Presi dent, and Mr. Blair, the General Su perintendent, were frequently with their men as the road approached this place, giving matters their personal attention and taking a lively interest iu seeing the last spike driven. They are the right men in the right place for rail roading. We presume a formal opening of this new road will be had some of these days soon, when we will have more to say. In the meantime we rejoice with our citizens at this increased evidence of business aud future prospects. Can Come by Rail. The making of the Connecting Link now leaves less than a half dozen of our townships and towns but can come to Butler by rail. The first road made> Butler Branch, from Freeport here, ac commodated to a greater or less extent the citizens of Buffalo, Clinton, Jeffer son, Winfield, Summit and Clearfield townships, in coming to Butler. The second road made, the Karns City extension, accommodated Allegheny, Parker,Fairviews,Donegal,and Oakland twps., with their towns, as well as parts of Clearfield and Summit twps. The third road, made from Butler down the Connoquenessing to near Evans burg, (now Evans City), and now know as the Pittsburgh & Western, connecting at Cailery Junction with trains for either Pittsburgh or New Castle, accommodates, more or less, the citizens of Adams, Cranberry, Mid. dlesex, Forward, the Jacksons, the Connoquenessings, Penn, Lancaster and Butler twps., with the towns of Zelienople, Harmony, etc. The fourth and last one, connecting the Butler Branch, or West Penn, with the She nango and Allegheny road, will accom modate in coming to Butler,in whole or in part, the citizens of Venango, Marion, Mercer, Slipperyrock, Cherry, Clay, Center, Brady, Concord, Wash ington and Worth twps., with their numerous towns aud villages. This leaves in fact but the townships of Muddycreek and Franklin that it may be said are not as yet convenienced by the construction of railroads to Butler. Their time will come next. Now for Manufactories, Now is the time for our people to turn attention to manufacturing busi ness. All we need is the introduction of some good manufactories We have everything else. Four railroads now enter Butler and our population must rapidly increase. The manufacturing establishments that now exist are do ing an excellent and extensive business. The more recent one established, the Glass Woiks, is doing a business be yond expectations. A large lumber business is done. The firm of the Purvis Bros., bring in and sell an im mense amount of all kinds of lumber for building, fencing and other pur poses. But we need other kinds. A pa per mill, it is thought, would pay well. We have all the material, and now alj the facilities for iron manufacturing. Butthere arc other kinds that might be profitable. Our object now is to di rect attention to this matter, and we hope soon to hear of some new estab lishments being introduced. By Way of Butler. The completion of the Connecting Link, and of the Pittsburgh and Wes tern roads to this place, not only make Butler a central point, but shorten the j former lines of travel from Pittsburgh ; and this point to points directly North of here. Heretofore the two routes from Pittsburgh North, were either by the Allegheny Valley road or by the Pittsburgh and Krie road. The fol lowing show the distances that can be saved now to some of the principal places north of Pittsburgh and of this place. From Pittsburgh to the City of Corry, for instance, tLe miles to be traveled from Pittsburgh, by way of the Allegheny river valley road, are 177- By the Pittsburgh it Western and Connecting Link, by way of But ler, is but 102 miles. From Pittsburgh to Oil City by the Valley road is 182 miles. By Butler, as aforesaid, is but lit miles. To Greenville, from Butler, by way of New Castle, is 82 miles. Now, by the Connecting Link and Mercer, is but 57 miles. From Pittsburgh to the same point a still greater distance will be shortened by coming by way of But ler. The above are only a few of the points north of bere that the distance is shortened by way of this place. To go therefore now from Pittsburgh to Doints North, the traveling public will BOOU learn to ask for tickets "By way of Butler." And the same will be the case in going South from points north of here. Bill Signed. The Governor has signed the bill fanning the State into new Judicial districts. It is therefore a law for the coming ten years,after Jauuary 1, 1885. As we stated last week, this county is made a separate district, but the county of Lawrence is attached to it for Judicial purposes. The difference between this and the present arrange ment is simply this: at present Butler and Lawrence counties compose the district, each being equal as ipcpihers or parts of the district. Hereafter Butler county is the district, retaining the old number as such. A provision of the Constitution allows the Legislature to attach coun ties not having the requisite population for a district to counties that may have. Under this provision Lawrence is at tached to Butler, but given full and equaj rights in the election of the Law Judges, as heretofore. Two Judges are allowed iu the bill, to be elected nejvt year, 1884—but one of these Judges must reside at New Castle, in the county of Lavyrenue. So that really the only difference under the new bill is, that heretofore, and now, Lawrence county is a component part of the 17th district; while hereafter (after January, 1885,) she will be merely attached to this, the 17th district, for Judicial purposes. Tue motto of the Republicans of I'owa, is f 'A school house on every hill aad no saloon in the yalley. v HON. THOMAS M. BAYNE, of Pitts burgh, thinks that James G.

The new version of the old saying, "no work no pay," is, "$lO a day. work or play." THE camp at Conneaut Lake is call ed Van Horn, in memory of Captain Cornelius Van Horn who in early times escaped from hostile Indians at or near the site of the camp. THE Saviugs Bank of Rochester, Beaver count} 7 , has suspended pay ment and made an assignment. The failure is attributed to loans made to a son of the President of the Bank. THE coming Ohio election, in Octo ber, creates more than usual interest. The Republicans are hopeful, and the Scott law, which makes saloons and drinking places pay their share of the State taxes, is working well and grow ing in public favor. COL. JOHN M. THOMPSON is entitled to much credit for the earnest and ac tive part he took in the location and making of the Connecting Link road to this place. As one of the directors of the company he was untiring in his efforts for the advancement of this im portant improvement, AU our citi zens, in fact, took a lively interest in the work. No Further Apportionments, Up to this time the Judicial appor tionment bill is the only one passed by the Legislature. The Congressional and Senatorial bills arc still on dispute between the two Houses. We have therefore nothing new to give as to them. Growing Shorter With Age, From the Chicago Inter-Ocean (Rep.)
