Secretary , * rman spoke as follows : ' 'GEKTtKMBif , SKNATOBS AKD MEM- IBEKS or THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY : My first duty is to return my grateful thanks for tno high honor conferred by electing me for the fourth time as United States senator I feel like a traveler from a far distant land , re turning to a formes homo in honor. I assumed the office of secretary of the treasury under great embarrass ment I was held up to the peopla as believing ia a financial policy that brought unnumbered woes , and great er than befell the Greeks between Achilles and Agamemnon. All evils npon society during our period of dis tress was attributed to me as the cauee. I said no a thousand times where I would have said yes , and was compelled to decline honest advice. Under such adverse circumstances I have no words to express my gratitude. I am glad of the aesurance yon have given me that yon believe I did the best I knew how under trying cir cumstances. I am glad to approve the vote given by my democratic friends yesterday. No man can more ably advocate democratic principles than Allan G. Thurman. He and I served years in the senate together , and strove rigorously in behalf of our respective partioi , but were always friendly , and found that courtesy could exist between political oppo nents. I wish to return thanks to Gov. Foster for the kind words of in troduction to the legislators who elected me without quarrels or contest. I feel largely indebted to the gentle man who introduced me for thishappy issue. Questions which now divide the American people are assuming a less dangerous aspect. Many issues involving the integrity of the union in the last twenty years , have been settled. Questions of public honor , no longer arise without a speedy set tlement. When we can feel the as surance that all , without regard to race or color , stand on equal footing , then ell dangers that threaten us will be removed. Unexampled prosperi ty now exiits in the whole nation. Ohio ia rapidly changing from an ag ricultural to a manufacturing state. It seemed to halt for a time in its progress , but now it is rapidly ad vancing. " Afdr dwelling some time on tbo results of the tenth census , Mr. Sher man concluded by refuting the com mon twaddle that he was a social ice berg , and proposed a round of hand shaking , which was heartily Indulged in. The secretary leaves for Washing ton at noon to-day. Consolidated Uehtnlnjr. 8p d l dtepalch to The Bee. NEW YORK , January 20 1 a. m. Meetings of the directors of the three telegraph companies were held yester day , and a plan for consolidation con sidered. Etch board of directors rat ified the agreement , and tha consoli dation may now be considered as a fixed fact , a * all that remains is for the ratification of the action of the directors by a vote of the stock hold ers. As the dirostors controla major ity of the stock the , result is the same as accomplished. Tha American Union directors met at 11 o'clock , the Western Union at 12 o'clock , and the Atlantic & Pacific at 2 o'clock. In each case the vote for ratification of the agreement was unanimous.

The "Graphic" on News Monopoly. Special Dispatch to The Bee. NEW YOUK , January 20 1 a. m. Apropos of the consolidation of the telegraph companies , The Daily Graphic yesterday afternoon eaid : "Some of the daily papers , and no ticeably The Herald , of yesterday morning , are beginning a great out cry on tha subject of monopoly in telegraph atTatra , bat no allusion ia made to the attempted monopoly of intelligence which those same papera have been trying to enforce for many years. It is understood that papers connected with the New York Associ ated Press and its tributary associa tions in different parts of the country , are trying to got the new consolidated company to commit Itself to a policy of restriction or prohibition of rival as9ociationsandto give them a monopoly ely ; and it Is also stated on the best of authority that the conductors of these same paparu have boasted that tbeir franchise in the press organiza tion of which they are members , is werth a very much increased price because the consolidated telegraph company will stop competition by pro hibitory action against existing rivals , and in the same breath those papers raised an outcry against existing rivals. So far as telegraphic monopoly is concerned , the only interest the pub lic of this country has is confined to two points , namely the price of the messages and the facilities for trans mission of the same. If the cost is low , and the transmission prompt , thare is no canse for interfer ence. In plain words , what the public demands la results. The means of accomplishing these re sults they leave to those people who have made them a special study. One company working nnder one set of expenses , under one managomentcan do this business for the people at much cheaper rates and much better form than two or three or moro com panies , with rival interests and multi plied expenses , for all of which the public must pay. To show the oppor tunity for the development of the tel egraph business of the country , it is only necessary to cite- the fact that oven last year , when the business was much creator than that of any previoui year , over 1,000,000 more messages having been stmt than in any previous year , the average was ono for every two of the population. That i to say , with a population of over 50,000,000 , the number of messages bet reon all parts of the country was 28,000,000 , Including the regular and apscial preis messages of all associations and correspondents of newspapers. As to the desire of certain newspapers to secure a monopoly of the business of transmitting intelligence , we can as- snro them that they are farther away from the purpose thai they would achieve , than they were formerly. Certain papers which have complained of the watering of stock should go , back Into their own history. Papers I thai started on a few thousdhd dollars capital , now have a stock valued at millions , have doubled and trebled the amount of the original stock , nota bly The Times nnd The Herald. Ac cording to their own argument they should give their panel's to the public at e much less rate , bay two for a cent. The man who insures fo the public of this country the transmission for the fnturs of telegraphic messages at the minimum of coat with the maximum of celerity , will bo regarded as a public benefactor , no matter whether ho does it by the consolidation of three companies in one , or in any other way ; but the man who attempts to raonopolite the carrying of intelli gence , will be execrated as a conspira tor against mankind.

He asks to be relieved fiom any disabilities that may attach to such a record. Mr. Edmunds said it waa a scandsl on congress , if it was not intended as a joke , to aak relief from disabilities on such a ttitement. It did not ap pear , from the statement , that any disabilities had been incurred. Gen. Sherman and many others have held positions in the army , and , resigned them.

Mr. Ingalls asked whether , na a matter of fact , the petitioner engaged in the rebellion. Mr. Garland replied that , as n mat ter of fact , he did not. He cited a case from North Carolina where , not withstanding the fact that no offo-se was shown , the bill was passed. HOUSE.

The aspect of London to-day is amazing. No one remembers any such scenes as are presented , nud they are indeed almost indescribable.
