Eisci the cholera-laden ship Alexia arrived at New York, fourteen deaths of her passengers have occurred, and ten more are down with the disease. If it breaks loose from the quarantine officials, there is just no telling when or where its march will be arrested. Bob Ikgersoix has many kind words to say for the Chicago Anarchists. Bob is a sort of an Anarchist himself, and is always bombarding the government cf Heaven, and has frequently emulated the "fool" who is credited with saying in hia heart: "There Is no God." Tek City of New York is getting to be mighty particular. The City Clerk is found to be short in his cash $G50, and he is called upon to disgorge. Just think of Hanway $32,000 short, Tattison $112,000 short. These Republican dandelions didn't disgorge worth a cent Ijt 1870, with a population of 17,714,291, the 8tate of Uassacbusetts.New'York, Ohio, Pennsylvania. Illinois, Wisconsin, Rhode Island and Michigan, had 10,217 insane persons. In 1856, these States had a population of 22,1)00,000, and reported 42.S90 insane persons. It will be absurd that from 1S70 to 1SS6 insanity in the Slates named, increased 100 per cent, while population increased onlv four per cent. There could scarcely be a worse Bhowing.

There was speaking, fireworks, music, flags, "puns a booming' a regular "gala tide of glory," and everybody who tould get s horn, blew it loud and tor old kirig corn. OUR POLITICAL AND SOCIAL IN STITUTIONS. jjf he October number of the North American eview.a piper appears on "Same -defects in our" political 411(1 sosial institutions,'' from the peC of James Cardinal Gibbons. Mr. Gibboris viVws our political and social institutions from IL.8 standpoint of a pessimist, arid he occupies a position where he observes all that is objectionable, and nothing at all that merits ap- j proval. Mr. Gibbons is, we think, singularly unfortunate in having a seriously defective mental vision. His mind's eye is out of order. It Is microscopic To his vision an imperfection not larger than a gnat, is given the huge dimensions of a giraffe. As for instance, Mormonism is classed among the great evils which threaten the stability of American institutions. If the population of the United States is 00.000,000, then the Mormon population is about three-tenths of 1 per cent of the whole body of the people. A number so small m not to excite alarm except in the minds of pessimists or persons constitutionally timid. Again Mr. Gibbons Eecs in the divorce laws of the country cause for alarm ; but in this, as in Mormonism, the writer's fears are out of all prudent proportion to the evil of divorce, "We have no words of approval for numerous cases of divorce, nor c o we admit that the gospel cause for separation is the only one for which decree should be granted. "We ere of the opinion that many marriages are quite as reprehensible as divorce, probably in the eye of Omnipotence far more objectionable, and when man and wife find that they cannot live together peaceably, the right thing to do is obtain a legal separation, and try it again and, if nececeary, a second or third time. By such proceedings social affairs may be somewhat disturbed, bat there would be far more unpleasant commotion and excitement if the galling bonds of matrimony could cot be legally sundered. Mr. James Cardinal GibboBS is of the opinion that our system of education is both imperfect and vicious. Imperfect it doubtless is. It is a very difficult thing to reach perfection in this world. We simply go on to perfection," and we are clearly Ct the opinion that the common school system of education in the United States is marching steadily toward perfection and Mr. Gibbons by inveighing against our educational system, as vicious, writes himtelf down as a first class croaker and "kicker." He rays our system of education Undermines the religion of our youth." That depends upon what religion is. If it means charity good works feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, sheltering the homeless, then Mr. Gibbon's charge tasjjtbe Tieg of fanatical slander foolish rant. Again Mr. Gibbons rails about the desecration of the Sabbath but he is careful not to tell what he calls desecration. Some poor, feeble minded fanatics, visionary zealots, Irrational, blind and mad bigots, eeteem it desecration to Isau a Sanday paper; or travel on Sunday; or go to the woods and into the fields and commune with nature and nature's God; think It is a ein for a man to kiss his wife, or do any thixg eke not laid down by the church as proper for the Sabbath. As a matter of conne, such Ytgorista havo little Influence in this world, and when their influence is felt, so much the worse for the world. Again, Mr. James Cardinal Gibbons thinks that the frequent "cry of election lrauds" means dt cty and death to our Institutions. The writer Is quite Incapable of appreciating the fact that the frequent cxjlol election 2rauds,means that the people

are alive to the importance of suppressing such crimes, and that danger is only im minent when the people are supine. Mr. Gibbons also profestes to see great danger to society and to our institutions because some people are very rich and some of them very poor. While deprecating such inequalities, the writer fails to observe that a spirit is abroad in the land demanding that the poor shall cot be made poorer to enable the rich to become richer. A spirit of leveling up and leveling down not to take from the rich their wealth, but to so shape the laws that they shall not grow rich by levying tribute upon the poor the anti-monopoly spirit which is eventually, and at no distsnt day, to triumph, as certain as rivers Cow to the sea. But Mr. Gibbons fails to see any remedy for some defects in our social and political institutions, except in making our pnblic schools "denominational" that is to say have a pnblic school for every denomination of Christians, and have the children educated at the public expense in thirty or forty different styles of religion. It is only required to state such a proposition to win for its author the blue ribbon of asininity. It exhibits its author as an euemy cf our public school system and therefore an enemy to social progress and to our political institutions; sinco the establishment by the State of a denominational edncational system, would be the death knell of a fundamental principle upon which the Republic is built.

EXPLOITS OF A GAMBLER. Jumping Oft" a Steamboat With 915,000 Stakes in Iiis Possession, Ban Francisco Examiner. Hardly a day passes that does not Dring to light 9 new incident in the adventurous carter of Alfred Rhodas, the confidence operator, who recently took French leave of the Golden State, after having, it is said, vainly endeavored to possess himself by foul means of some of Edward Delger's coin. The very latest is a story related by John Q Feabody, who knew the wily Alfred several years ago at New Orleans, where the "downey cove" posed as a Southern fire-eater, aud demanded gore if the slightest insult was oSerei Rhodus at that time owned a tmall plantation near Hew Orleans, but msde the major portion of his money by trading in hordes. IIa was also to be seen at every race meeting held la Louisiana, where, being a splendid judge of horseflesh, he managed to gain large sains, which he would systematically lose at the various gambling devices with which the race tracks were flooded, roulette being his favorite game. Ilhodos was younpi nandaome dashing, and a bachelor, lie spent freely, and consequently had a lfgion cf friends. . He frequently took trips up the river to St. Louis, and on tneee occasions, while on board the Bteamer, he was always the firat man to propose a game of poker, which, having been once organ! ed, he would not leave until he was fiat broke, or his oppo nenis declined to play any more. He always play el a fair game, and not infrequently won large sums. One day, while returning from one of these trips up the river, Kkcdus was a member of a qaiet little game of draw with two Southern tire-sat-ers and a cool-blooded Northerner, whose first name Mr. Peabody does not rameoi isr, the surname being Middleton, and who happened to be far ahead of the game. All four men were reckless players, and it was a common thing to see from $7,000 to $10,U00 in the pot. After several hours of steady playing the two Southerners drop ped out, leaving Rhodus and HuldletDn to do battle against each other. The game ran along quite evenly until both mei got arge bands, and tne oetung waxed nign. Rhodos became excited, but the Xortderner kept cool, ana every time nis oppo nent made a bet Middleton would calmly see and raise it. At last Rhodus threw down some hüls, making the stakes something like $15,000. and, with the remark, "I call you," showed his hand. The man from the North held the higher hand, but he never got the money, for ILhodnp, with a quick motion swept all the greenbacks into his hat, and making a rush, managed to gain tne dec it 01 tne steamer, from which be leaped into the water, followed by several bullets in the hands of the despoiled Middleton, who, losing all his calmness, jumped about the deck like a lucatic. The captain of the steamer refared to lower a boat. Rhodus ewatn to land and made good hia escape with the plnnder. The two men met again in Memphis a couple of years later, and Middleton had RhodU9 arrested, but the latter com pr omiff d by returnin $-3.000, and so escap3i punishment.

Totton is being marketed with great freelr ro, and the earliness of the season is eviierce by the fact that receipts at Memphis ire more than double those of lait year up to this period. The crop will be gathered fnlly six weeks earlier than past seaions, due to the rutting off of much of the middle, and all of the top crop. The Cholera Cases at New York. NtwYoBK, October 8.

SARA JEWETT'S STORY

The Trouble With the Aetras Lies Daeper Than Any Opium Hib;l Airs. Langtry and 311 Davenport Dis cussed Dona Piatt's New Hook and Its Crltics-The World, (Sentinel Special New York Letter ) Now Yoek, Ostobsr 7, 1887. A sad story about Sara Jewett, the once popular actress, is made public by The San, or rather by the circumstance of the lady's application to the Actor's, for some sort of aid. It has long been known to the friends of the lady and to theatrical managers that she was in a poor condition of health, and that she had become rather erratic in business matters. This was attributed to several causes; the Snn attributes it to opium. Miss Jewett was a discovery of the Union Square Thea tre when A. U. Falmer managed it; and her successes were confined to her connection with that theatre. Her reputation was made there, aod she did not add to it after leaving that management She wan very beautiful and had a fine physique and graceful carriage, yot, after all, it was the management that made her a successful actress She did not possess genius, and the good management of Mr. Palmer gave uer talents opportunity and illustration. The trouble with Miss Jerett lie3 deeper than any opium habit ; and it is at the bobt.m of the failures of a great many other actresses. It is a curse to the stage itself. She was "pitch-forked" onto the atase. Her preparation for the profession was cot complete; she never learned the scale, so to speak, of the true actress. She jumped from the drawing-room to the boards. Unlike Mrs. Langtry, whose preparation was even less than Miss Jewett'a, she had not the great art of making social position or notoriety an aid to money getting. Miss Jewett actually believed she was an actress, and really loved to act; Mrs. Langtry, on the other hand, doesn't love acting at all, while she does love money, and seeks to regain social position and leave the stage. While under the management of Mr. Palmer Miss Jewett was not permitted to make mistakes, and her defects were skillfully concealed by her complete amalgamation with the rest of the company. Thera she was part of a harmonious whole; left toherself, her angularities were nude proml nent, and she failed. How many such "pitch-forked" actors and actresses have I seen! f c To attribute the success of Sara Jewett and other actresses to the management of tbe theatres in which they appealed, may, at nrst sight seem very unjust but not in tne eyts or tiiougntf al persons of the profession. They eee it illustrated constantly. There are numerous instances of sacceesful men and women leaving the two schools of acting here Daly's theatre and I'alnicr 8 Madison Sanare-and disappearing from public view almost as soon aa the directing power and surrendering influ ences are removed. Charles Thome, the leading man of Palmer's company, when Miss Jewett was leading ladv. tell in rrecisely the same way, out of the Unioi cquare theatre company he was no longer the same actor. He knew and felt this bimxelf and shoitly before his death he said as much to me. Georg? Clarke, who left Daly to go starring, failed, and was re engaged by Mr. Daly on a special provis ion, as (Jiarke once laughingly told me, that he was not to spsak his lines in any louder tones than Mr. Daly directed. Clara Moms has managed to star with bo nie Buccess, but she is not the actrets she was when Daly directed her a& part of his company. Fanny Davenport another graduate from Daly's, is J great actress, but any one familiar with Daly s methods of management can see at a glance at any of her performances, that she retains his methods and has applied them to her own company. She made a success in one part of labert B. Mautell, an actor "pitch-forked" from English to American boards, by requiring him to play according to her methods as brought from Daly. Slipped out of her training influences, Mantell has developed into a raating, uneven and unskillful actor. Thera are no managers more strict in their stage discipline than Daly and Palmer. Tne former conducts his own rehearsals, reads the play to the assembled company, arranges the business, and altera it as alterations are suggested by the movements and the grouping of the actors, Ottilies the characters to the actors, and fixes the read ing of every important line, even to the intonation and emphasis Mr. Palmer's company is first rehearsed for the business of a play, generally by Mr. Mill ward, who pa j s little attention to anything else than the proper grouping of the company. Then it is taken in hand by Mr. O. W. Presbury, who pays little attention to the business, but looks with the greatest care to the reading and to the lights and shades of the characters as depicted, his aim being to make a perfectly harmonious picture of tbe whole performance. The actors are allowed much latitude in the "business" when alone on the stai;a, br.t not a great deal in the interpret&:i30. of chara:ter. In the end, Mr. Palmer personally examines what Mr. Freiburg has done, and makes suggestions, which are, of course, at occe adopted, and finally a regular performance is given, with Mr. Palmer as the only auditor. A final performance of the new company which ia to play "Jim, the PeDrxan," was given at the Madison Square on Monday. It went through wl h only one interruption. Mr. Haler, who plays the detective, failed to overturn a table and break the China ware on it, as he is to do in tbe piece when publicly performed. 'Stop, said Mr. Palmer. 'Do that over again, and don't fail to overtarn tbe table," It is ths care with which such details are looked to that makes such near ly perfect companies as those of Daly and Palmer. I am told that Henry lu Abbey has secured in Mr. Robertson a stage mana geroftn.snew school; and it is to ba hoped that he will make Wallace s tieitre a school of acting, as it was cx yore. I mentioned some time ago that Djnn Piatt's book of "Memoirs of the Men who Saved the Union" was about to be published, and that I thought it would create a sensation: but I have baen verv much astonished at tbe silence with which the American press has received it, and the very positive endorsements which the foreign critical jouroals have given it. Toe London Graphic at:d Siturday Review gave it adpiirable notices as a work which gave a deep insight into the real characters of the Un-cn heroes; while tue Westm'n ster Review is unstinted in its praise. 8r-f atlng of tbe several articles.it ay "Each Is a powerful study of character, parkling with epigrams and charged wl th movintr incidents told in most felicitous language. The object of the book is said "to rescue the true from the false," and it baa been accomplished in a manner which must have made some living celebrities very unhappy. The writer has. to nre his own words wbeu describing Seward, "a way of tearing off the outside and exposing the bratn-stumng ot an idol. Sometimes his merciless demolition ot a popular fallacy concerning some famoui man startles tbe reader, but he invariably finds It couched in such calm and forceful laneuaee and supported by such potent nmmtntithit he ia fain to confess with a sigh that the deed is but an act of Jus? tice." Can it be that tbe silence of a men can reviewers as to this remarkable book t to be attributed to reluctance to aporove ihat which txconatea many prominent

living characters, or to inability to condemn a book, so evidently written with brilliancy and fearlessness? I am afraid that It is the former cause ; we have few reviewers as Independent as the writer, who, in this instance, invites pretty free and fearless criticism in fact defies it We have been having a very funny little comedy this week, whicn you can hardly have failed to enjoy, though you do not comment on it for the benefit of your readera. The "World owes a great deal of its circulation to its absolute independence in politics, and particularly of the present administration. Mr. Pulitzer resigned from Congress avowedly to look after the more important duties of the editor. His paper had been designated as an "opposition journal" by the President himself, and this fact alone gave it great impetus in this particular section. A short time ago it published a long interview with the President, and since that time it baa spoken rather kindly of him so kindly, indeed, that rival journals say it Is an organ of the Administration. Tbe World has just reduced its rate of commission to ten per cent a sure sigrvof prosperity. The Telegram has reduced ita rate for advertising to twenty cents per line a sure sign that business is wanted. James Gordon Bennett is on his way home to rejuvenate the Herald or readjust the staff.

FULTON ON HIS STEAMBOAT, A Letter Written by Him While he was Makiug His Great Invention. Hartford Tfznes. Among a number of old documents lately rescued by Mr. Lent C. Merriam, of this city, from a New ork "old junk" shop, where they were destined to go to the paper makers, were a let of papers from the Livingston family. Fulton had the encouragment and assistance of Robert R. Livingston, who in Jefferson's day was United States Minister to France, and later he married Livingston's niece. These papers included many family documents, and also this letter of November, 1805, written, evidently, by Fulton, although the histories and cyclopaedias would seem to place Fulton abroad in that year, and to get him back to his own country not sooner than 1SQ6, But the hand-writing is paid by State Librarian Hoadly and Dr. J. Hammond Trumble to be identical with that one of Fulton's undisputed letters, written in Paris in 1802, and which these gentlemen have compared with the writing in this letter, finding it to be the same. Besides, the subject matter of the letter chows it to be Fulton's. Here it is, printed from the first and interlined, amended, and unsigned draught, of which the writer, according to the custom, no doabt made a fairer and incorrected copy to send to his friend: Hobokiit, November IC, Dear Sir: I have received your favor of the 8th inst, communicating an oatlbe of Mr. Weeden's contrivance for propelling boats. The attention you have manifested on this occasion merits my warmest acknowledgments, as it evinces the interest you feel in the success off cay project. Bat although I am persuaded l should derive no advantage from Mr. Weeden's contrivance, yet I shall ever preserve a due estimation of your kind intentions. With the surprising efiacta of the Chinese scull I have long been acquainted and it ia now five or six years ago that I made an attempt to apply a steam engine, the construction of which was admirably adapted to the i'urpoee, to working a system of tculls attached to the stem of a boat but failed of success from the inefficiency of the power of the engine I employed, owing principally to the imperfection of the boiler. But, my dear air, I am fully satisfied, both from theory and practice, and that my present mode of applying the power of a eteam engine to propelling boats is in various respects preferable to any possible adaptation to this purpose of the scull with an alternate movement. You may recollect tbe description I gave you when I first had the pleasure of seeing you at Hoboken. To the extremity of an axis passicg nearly in a horizontal direction through tbe stern of the boat ia fixed a nnmter of arms with wings like those of a windmill or smote; act. These arms are made capable of ready adjustment, so that tbe most advantageous obliquity of this angle may be attained after a few trials. The principle- of an oblique stroke is the same her as in taa scull, but the continuity of movement in the wings gives tbem greatly the advantage over the alternation in the sculls both in the loss of time and the resistance of tbe fluid in the change of motion : besides that, this change of motion must give to tbe boat a wriggliDg movement, and- it has also a tendency to elevate and depress the stern of the boat. Tbe sculls would also be liable to be affected by thcwells in rough water, and, like the paddles I have had some thoughts of using, would be an awkward appendage to the stern of tbe boat. The consideration which determined rae when I saw you last, to make a trial ot the pad dies, was merely to- avoid? the necessity of giving the boat a- draupat of water too great for passing tbe overslaugh nearAlbany. But thij- objection to the use of wheels I expect to obviate by aa increase of the number of them and consequent diminution of their diameter1. Indeed, It is absolutely necessary to have at least two revolving in opposite directions to prevent tbe tendency to rotation which a single wheel gives to the boat. Since you were here I have made a fair experiment on the wheel compared with oars. Two men wer placed at two cranks by which a wheel in the stern of the boat was turned, and with a atop watch the time of passing over a given distance was precisely obtained. After making a saincient number of trials the wheel was taken oil and ths same men furnished with oars. The result of repeated trial was a few seconds in favor of the wheeL it is un necessary to observe that the wheel must have worked to much disadvantage. Tue proper angle of obliquity was not attended to besides the wings were made with a fist surface, whereas a certain degree of curva ture was necessary. And in order to give a due submersion to the wheel the axis was inclined at least 30 or 40 degrees be low the horizontal line. Tne machinery, too. was nut no in a very coarse manner. Une important consideration in lavor oi the ce wheels is the facility with which tbev can be defended from all extern! Id jury. By placing them in the stern, thus. f Here Fulton with his ouill pen drew an outline pictrre of one of the wheels. fixed with a crank under the stern oi boat! Mv foreman promises me to nave tue - a 1 1 II SDgine agoing in tbe boat in about two weeks from this time, i suau emorace tbe first opportunity of acquainting you with the result oi my experiments. In vour last vou have bestowed on ma an appellation I am not entitled to; when vou write egam, stvie me air., or, u you please, Efq. I am. dear sir, with esteem axd regard, yours, etc. This rongh, unfinished draught of a letter is neither signed with the writer came, nor addressed at the end. Bala file notation on the top of the folded letter shows wbo it was that Falton was writing to. The file reads: "Nov. 1G, 1805. fitter from Robert Hare, Jr., about Mr. Weeden's Improvement. Answer to ditto." The above lettter is the 4,ans wer." It is not only in Itself Interesting, but historically important, as Ehowing the dtte, character, and progress of Fulton's experiments.

Ginett Incliisl to Fight ths Wastern Union's litis to the B. & 0. ! Axgry Eecioss ths nl Was Conimmited While He Was on the Ocean. Hints ef Consolidation Which was Nearly Completed by Garrett. How ITeatetn Union People Talk The United Unes New York and Chicago Press Ofttspoken In the Matter. New Yohk, October 8. The Times prints g:" It's no trade, gentlemen," the following said Mr. Hoben Garrett to Edward Stokes and a small party of friends at the Hoffman House early last evening, lie referred to the sale of the Baltimore and Ohio Tele graph Company to Jay Gould. The announcement, most emphatically made was a nenuine surprise to Mr. Stokes ana his friends. They supposed the sale had been ratiSed and that all the papers relating to it had been signed, sealed and delivered. They hinted as much, asking Mr. Garrett if he had read the papers. Mr. uarrett re plied that he had but repeated that in spite of everything said and done, the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Company had not yet been absorbed by its hungry rival. Mr. Garrett looked and spoke as if he was very much in earnest. There is no exaggeration in the statement that it petMr. Garrett in a bad humor to discover that the syndicate apparently con?' if red his presence entirely unnecessary, Garrett thought so much baste unseemly, d in discussing the sale last evening be .--.id so. The syndicate might have wa"-d he thought, until he was upon the gr .und before it disposed of the property in the preservat.cn of which he was particularly interested. It looked odd, he said, that an attempt should be made to sell the property while he was on the ocean and not in a position to interfere with plans in which he was a least entitled to a vote. At least when Mr. Garrett left the Hoffman House he bad impressed his hearers with the idea that Gould might have a good deal of trouble before he could legally claim the B. t O. Tele graph Company as his own. One thing they were satisfied o:,that uouia would not be allowed to keep his new purchase at the price be ia Bald to bave paid for lu mt. uarrett, in aaoiuon to announcing that no trade had teen made, said that Gould would, under no circumstances, get the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Com pany $5,000,000; he would have to pay a good deal bigger figurs-, for he was the last man in the country to whom Garrett would be willing to aell. Robert Garrett did not say all this until he had a long talk with John K. Cowan, and other coun sel. He spent several boars at the lireyoort In coDBUltation Fithhia lawyers, and the matters under discussion were consid ered so important that 3 o'clock arrived before Mr. uarrett bethought mm or a promise he had made to lunch with ficme friends at the Manhattan club. Lunch having been disposed of Mr. Garrett walked up to tbe bouse and there made opponents of Western Union and friends of competitors in telegraphy, happy by declaring that he meant fight and felt sure of winning. He was inclined to this way of thinking through ths knowledge that the B. & O. Telegraph Company was in debted to him personally to the, not alto gether trivial, sum ot between v'W.uuu and $409.000. When Mr. Garrett returned to tbe Brevoort house last evening he was not n a talkative mode so fer as business was concerned. He had nothing to say, "Not now at least, perhaps in a day or two." SOIIDB DEKT fi FBEI?n OTAT)ST. The statement in the morning paper to täs effect that Robert Garrett, referring to the absorption of the R fc O. telegraph liaes by the Western Union, that "It's no trade, gentlemen," caoeed considerable talk to-day, but no excitement. Western Union went oT a point, but that was not attributed to Mr. GarreU's alleged denial of the sale. Mr. George Gould treated the try laughingly. He did not believe that Mr. Garrett was correctly quoted. "Al though the collateral haa not been turned over, tbe agreement has been signed and is m our possession. There is no i. & o. tel egraph now, as the wiicarare a part ot our division." IVlr. Uould also denied tue statement in the same article that the B. &2 O. owed Mr. Garrett personally between. $3,000,000 and $ I.0C0.0CO. Mr. W. B. Somerville. of the Western Union, was author ized to Bay that Dr. Noivin Green did not . believe the story, and that Dr. Green wais se confident that there would be no troubl e about the sale that ho had decided to issi e no statement about te matter contrary I o his original intention. "No slieht was in ton dad to Mr. Garrett ," continued Mr. Somerville, "by closing t he sale while he was oniua way from Kuroj e. Tbe hurry was to prevent the possibility of an injunction beinr; obtained y wnicn tne sale would be deterred.

"Most cer tainly be could not," he replied. "W bought the lines from the Drexel-M organ syndicate, who run the legal cuatodi ans af tbe property, and fully empowered 'to aell.

The telegraph company might owe him something if he owned the railroad entirely, but be does not. The 3. A O. still have the privilege of using certain of the lines., but all will be peaceably arranged, youi may be sure. If he anticipated any trouble, Mr. Jay Gould would not be out ot town until Monday." Mr. uaarett still refuses to see reporters or to say whether tbe great telegraph deal has been, legally completed or not. BOS.

He was very m?ch excited aa4 abused Jay Gsuld without stin. If tLere had been a Uaf e. he said, it would not hold watr." "Did be threaten to sue Mr. GouMT" . -Y he threatened all sort of things.

"Wd von have any dealings with Mr. Garrett in reference to the B. & O. telepranh lines?" Yps. a pood manv. When Mr. Garrett went to Europe the other gentlemen envared in the deal believed tbat we had about effected the consolidation of the Tuitimnre and Ohio, the Postal and the United Lines telegraph companies. If Garrett had done as he promised to do, the Western Union would never pay another dividend." 'What was the rtromise?" "An agreement to the consolidation. We were to capitalize the stock at $20.000.000. Mr. John W. Mackav was to put in si.OOO, Ctf), Mr. Garrett $1,000,000, and the stock of tbe company would make up tn Äy 000,000.':

why Garrett failed "Not tLe slightest. He went off Europe, and that ended the matter." to "It is probable that the Western Union will now swaDow np the united lines and postal companies?" "No; I ought t know something about that, and will have something to say when the attempt is made. We are not for sale." "What Is your personal opinion ot tbe Bai timore an d Ohio sale ?" "I think that Gould has the lines, or if be has cot he has such a big slice that he will coon get the rest. He's got the longest pole now, and I guess he will get the persimmons." "Do you thfax that Mr. Garrett was In earnest when he was talking last night?" "He was, or I was more deceived by a man's actions thaa I ever was before. He looked angry enough to fight, and when he said he would make the fur fly, he looked capable of IL" Baltimore, October 8. A despatch was received by a banker here to-day from Mr. Robert Garrett in reply to an inquiry if he would fight the sale of the Baltimore and Ohio telegraph. That reply was: "I have nothing to say." The following will appear as the leading editorial article In to-morrow's Bun: TBI RULE Or (WrLD. The Times this morning, intimates that the Western Union will tot get the Baltimore and Ohio telegraph system became Mr. Garrett will oppose thr transfer. Mr. uaiitu is powerlese in the matter, if for no other reason than that Mr. Gould has do ixmpetitor for the property, and in-as-much as its sale is compulsery, aud he is tbe only purchaser, it musS go; to him. klr Gonld, tin til a few days since, had a competitor for it in the shape of a Western Associasion of bosdness men- who were wIlllDtflo give a higher price than Mr. Gonld has paid, but the sharp- practice .which has suddenly taken ths- property out of the market has made it impossible to proceed further in iha matter, even if a 11 and practicable opportunity were et il avaiiible, which is doubtf oi. The establishment of the Western Union in the undisputed monopoly of so great and vital a public service- as the telegraph will not be reviewed with either content or resignation by the pubiic The distrust of Mr. Gourd and his associates, end- the suspicion that attaches to their methods and practises, are too profound and too well rooted in ths- public raiad to admit of such men being accepted as the trustees of a great puollc servics." We should not be prepared to intrust Mr. Gould and his colleagues ' with the administration of the postal systom of onr country. It would be simply in the pnblic estimation a grave calamity. And yet hia administration of the telegraph is likely to be mcch more prejudicial to public and private interests- than his ad minisration cf the psstal system codi pjuiWf be, t23 it is a long lane that has no burning, but it may 88 well ba understood now as later that the Roverninent of the United Stttes shall net acquire the telegrcphs of the country, and that no machinations of Mr. Gould,' and no oppression of individuals, public or private, will ever blackmail and coerce the people of this country into consenting that the Western Union shall be unloaded upon the government.
