CONSOLIDATED XEL.EGKAPH5.
One of the most stupendous consoli
dations which has ever tak n place on
the whole globe is the impending
amalgamation of the telegraph lines
of the United States into one great
eyetem under one management and
one control. THE BEE views this con
solidation as the forerunner of the
assumption by the government of Ihe
whole telegraphic system of the conn-
try.
Professor Morse' never conceived
the idea that such a mighty power a
the control of his system of news
communication would ever be invest
ed in any private corporation. As
early as 1S41 he tnade a formal
tender of hit Invention to the pest
office department , offering tosell * the
sile rights to its use to the Unitrc
States government for the paltry'sum
or gSO.OOO.J
The postmaster-general under An
drew Jackson , ono Johnson by name
promptly wrote a long communication
on the offer of Professor Morse , dc
nouncing him M a chimerical schemer
nd his invention as an Impractical
scientific toy and strongly protesting
Against ita countenance by the government
mont or ita ownership by the postal
aervico. What was .so cen -
temptuously refused by America ,
was taken up by Great Britain.
A number of years ago all patents anc
rights the to use of telegraph in Eng
land , Scotland and Ireland , was pur
chased by the .British governmentanc
the department of the postal telegraph
was added to the general postal ser
vice.
Although the $80,000,000 , trhicl
:1le
represents the capital stock of the
three companioi is Inrxelr fiottiiuu
we believe that our government cou'u
w ill afford to buy the telegraph syotej
of the country at its present market
rates. Granting that $100,000.000
would be demanded for the consoli
dated lines , such a turn could easily
bo raised on H four per cent bond'tlio
nnnti&l interest on which would not
at the premium lit which such a bone
could bo 'placed ' more than equa
$3,500,000. This annual sum ii
netted every year by the present tele
graphic system and paid over to Block-
holders. Under
governmental man
agement expenses would be greatly
reduced , and , ns in Eogland , the ser
vice would bo more than self-sustain
ing.
Few realize the immense advan
t ? es which would accrue to our
e umtry from a cheap and universally
extended telegraphic aorvico owned
and operated by the government.
To-day the comptnies only maintain
oflices in the larger cities and towns
along the lines of railroads in such
places as return a profit to the
management. Parties living in the
c < untry rnuit now drive fifteen , twor-
f y or thirty miles to a telegr ph ofiica
to transact their urgent business. In
England under a postal telegraphic ser
rice , every village and hamlet -has at
le st ono office and the telegraph is
within the ronch of every resident of
the country no matter how distant
\ rom the great towns and cities.
The assumption of the telegraph by
the postal department is demanded
not less by the necessities of the government
ornmont than for the convenience of
the people. In tinio of war
Jho control bf tbo internal avenues nf
communiraiion by R power outside of
the government has always been
found to be hlehly dangerous and en
ormously expensive. It was purely
on this account that England found it
necessary to talso into her own hands
her telegraphic svitem. During the
l te war the national government was
greatly hampered and delayed by
roison ot the private ownership of the
telegraphic lines in the southern
B'AICS and on the border. We ostert
without fear of contradiction
that 81,000,000,000 of the national
debt would .have been saved , and the
war brought to a close nearly A yer
earlier , if the complete control of the
telegraphic * ystem of the country had
been vested solely in the government
of the United States. It is a well
knovn tact * that news of intended
movements and changes in state pol
icy reached the rebel lines over the
private wires
nearly as noon
a * they were known to the
union forehand southern sympathiz
ers , though * the telegraphic service
played the spy nd assisted , In antagonizing -
'
onizing and overthrowing msny of the
most important moves of union gen-
cralahip.
On , the ground of
economy to the
people andlprofit lo the nation the
c * e In favor of a national postal tele
graph can hardly. overstated. Un
der the present circumstances nearly
$90,000,000 yearly are paid by the
jeoplo of the United States for telegraphic -
graphic service. Rates are fluctuating
and nearly double the amounts are
charged for the same service as in
England. The entire control of the
cost of Interstate and international
telegraphic communication reats upon
the will of a single individual and the
people are powerless to resist any ad-
vancohowevercxtortionate.Shonldthe
government decide to purchase thelinea
expenses would at once be greatly re
duced. The magnificent buildings
now used in the great cities by the
telegraph companies would be sold.
The spare room iu the postoffices could
at once bo utilized. An increase in
the carriers would supply ample mes
senger facilities. Throughout the
whole country the use of the post-
offices would cut oil the emormous
rental expense of the present
companies and greatly diminish the
present cost cf operations. In the
smaller towns and villages operator
postmaster * could be appointed io fill
both oflices at a heavy saving over the
salaries uow paid , aad while the gen
eral system no\v maintained by the
telegraph systems would con
tinue in operation the ex
penses would be lighter aad
the profits fully as great even with
the extension of lines throutjhout the
whola country. If as now managed ,
,
with all their reckless expenditures
and costly trarfare , with 10,000 dead
heads using telegraph passes for which
the people must pay , the companies
are enabled to earn the enormous divi
dends reported on the stock board > wo
believe that under the control of the
national government a postal tele
graphic service would not only be
self-supporting , but would pid greatly
in covering the annual deficit in the
pcstoffice department The longer
the consideration of the subject is de (
layed In congress the greater will bo
the final cost of a measure which ,
sooner or liter , must pass that body.
Sooner or later the government mu&t
and will take into its hands telegraphic
communication within its borders ,
and , according to THE BEE'S belief
the sooner the better for the interests
of the people and the security of the
government itself.
THE census presents some interest t-
ing facts and figures showing the re
markable progress rnr.do by Washing
ton territory during the past decade.
In 1870 it had 37,432 inhabitants , and
in last Jane 75,120 , a gain
of 100 per ceut. The completion
of the Northern Pacific road will
creatly aid in the development of the '
territory , and in a year it is expected
that with 100,000 inhabitants she
will bo clamoring for admission to the
tistarhood of states. The New York
Times compiles the following '
interesting facts from Governor
Newell's raessagei
Gov. Newell , of the territory of
ofc
Washington , who asems to have
brought to his new position all of that [
.energy and capacity for research
which are characteristic of him ,
prints many new and interesting facts
in regard to that far-distant corner of
the country. Among other things , ho
draws attention to the fact that the
industry of planting and cultivating
duller ti ojratcra tit Pagtii Coinid ! a
fteadily progressing , and he predicts
tsr
that at no distant day the ter
ritory will become the great oyeter-
producini ; section of the Pacific coast.
The traffic in clatns , too , promises Jo I
bo very large. This variety of chcll-
fish is found in 1ro
the greatest abundadro
in the Eound , man } ' of them , growing
to the extraordinary weight of ten
pounds. As to the salmon fisheries ,
the governor states that the catch for
the lasyear amounted to forty mil
lion pounds. Fish caught in Puget
eto
Sound wore forwarded ( eti.
every market in the civi
lized world , and the returns -
turns to those engaged in the lo
amounted during the year to re
than 3,000,000. In this connection ,
the governor suggests that the gadus ,
a species of codfish , though larger and
of finer flivor , which is found in ex
traordinary abundance in the waters
of the territory , could bo most ad
vantageously d'ried , and with much
profit sent to the great centres of pop
ulation in this nnd other countries
In addition to these natural sources of
wealth , Mr. Newell mentions the fact
that there lies on Puget Sound
15,000,000 acres of the finest timber
laud in the world. Thousands of the
trees are upwards of 300 feet
in height and ten feet in diameter at
the base. One stick if timber re-
centlycut measured 124 feet in length
and squared twenty-four inches at the
smaller end. Thu resources of the
territory for cattle and iheep raising ,
ere represented as being on the same
wondnrful scale , and , altogether , GQV.

Building Iron Steamsh'ps '
N. Y. Tribune.
The building of iron steamships and
their superiority over wooden vessels ;
the many losses of wooden steamboats
in the last season have led to a move
ment among capitalists in this city ,
Philadelphia a'nd elsewhere to organ
ize the Iron Steamboat company with
capital of § 10,000,000. to be divided
Into 100,000 shares of § 100 each. Its
purpose is to build a fleet of thirty
iron steamboats , especially adapted
to the requirements of passengers ;
to ba of great speed , construct
ed in the most substantial man
ner , non-combustible- with
numerous water-tight compartments ,
which will render- them incapable of <
sinking or being destroyed by fire , a <

could beno such disasters to reqprd pl

with iron steamboats , it is nrged , as
the collision and destruction by fire of
the Narragansett in the Sound on the
night of Juno 11 , when about fifty
lives were lost ] the burning of the
Seawanhaka in the Eist river , on the
28th of .Tune , when about forty-five
lives were lost ; the stranding and
wreck of the Ehodo Island iu the
SoundNovember C ; the damage to the
Massachusetts by striking a rock in the
Sound a year ago ; and the sinking
by collision of the Adelaide in North
river : the sinking of the Erastus
Corning and nlany'other boats. The
building of great hotel * at Coney
Island , Long Branch and other wat
ering pladea u2ar the metfopolia , to
which hundreds o ? thousands of per
sons go daily , and the custom of
pressing Into service wooden steam
ships which are considered almost un
safe to carry freight and paSaongers
on the Sound , and , the I udson river ,
and the numerous accidents which
have occurred io excursion boats in
the past , demand that greater atten
tion shall be paid to the safety of the
travallng public than heretofore ,
and to answer this demand is
the purpose of th'e new Corpora *
tiona contract has been made to build
seven steamboats for this company
bur by Cramp & Son , and three by
Roach & Son , which will combine all
; he requirements specified above.
These are to be ready early in the
coming season , and will run to Coney
