' '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.

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.

SENATE
Spedal Dispatch to The Von.
WASHINGTON , January 19. The
moruinp ; hour was occupied in unim
portant business. At 1 o'clock Mr.
Williams called up the bill to prevent
the introduction and dissemination of
epizootic or communicable diseases of
domestic animals for the purpose of
making a speech thereon.
During the morning hour Mr. par-
land , from the committee on judiciary ,
reported a petition from Richard Fat-
terdiand the bill removing his politi
cal disabilities. The petition sets
forth that the petitioner resigned a
position as United S'atas military
store keeper April , I860 , which was
accepted May ti , 1861 , nnd is not In
debted to the government. 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. He felt certain that the bill
ought not to be pressed , unless con
gress meant to make congress ridicu
lous.
lous.Mr.
Mr. Garland said the senator from
"Vermont should know , if ho knows
anything , that he would not put in
such a bill as a joke. The petition ,
ho stated , was as respectful aa any
that had been presented to the senate.
It stated nc ofTensebecsuao no offense
had been committed. Mr. FatterJy ,
ho said , was the superintendent of the
Little Rock arsenal at the time it was
seized In 1861. His vote had been
refused by the hell broth of recon
struction , and he asks congress to re
move the disabilities with which be is
charged , wjiatever they may bo.
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 house decided , by a vote of
220 to 34 , that it has no power to
prevent a member from yoting.though
he may be interstted in thn subject
before the house , but that it is a mat
ter of conscience for the member.
The speaker this morning made
the following appointments for com
mittee service : Mr. McKinney , of
Ohio , in the place of Mr. Garfield , on
the joint commlttece of two senators
and two representatives , to examine
the alleged losses under internal rev-
onne laws , and Mr. Ray on invalid ,

LONDON , January 19 , 4 p. m. An
unprecedented hurricane and snow
storm has visited this city and extend
ed throughout a great portion of the
kingdom. The extent of damage to
property and interruption to business
can scarcely bp exaggerated.
The various railroads leading
from London pro snowed up and ( he
patsigo of trains has been made im
possible. None of the facilities SD
common in America for clearing tbo
tracks of suoir are here known , and
the only means of making a iay fo.
trains h the employment of gangj
of laborers to shovel the snow
from the cuttings , which is a work
of preat difficulty inasmuch as the
vrind frequently fills up the cuttings
with 'snow again more rapidly than
it can be removed. The aspect of
London to-day is amazing. No one
remembers any such scenes as are
presented , nud they are indeed
almost indescribable. Traffic is en
tirely abandoned ; omnibusea and cabs
have ceased attempting to run , and
the only method uf transportation is
by the underground road aud
the elevated road on the
Surrey eido of the river. THeJaccnes
at the stations of the underground
railroad are thoseof immense crowds
endeavoring to forca their way into
the cars which are packed , despite the
regulations of the company , far be I
