Mr. Orton’s Argement Agatust a Postal Tele= geraph Answered—Compleie Success ‘of the System iu Great Britain. . 4 ‘The select committee on the postal telegraph had @ meeting to-day, at which William Orion, of tue Western Union Telegraph Company, delivered au argument, which he announced was positively hts Just Op this subject, Mr. Orton reviewed the sperci: of Mr. C.,C, Wasuburn in favor of the bill now be- Jore the commiitvée and expatiated at great lengin upon the impracticability of the postal telegraph system. He pointed to tie experiment of the British wovernment in patting the telezrapn Mnes under the management of the Post, Oilice Deparment and suid ib was a failure. He was questione! upon the point very minutely by the comiulitce, bui he still adhered to his adseriiom that the pian would not work, and bad been demonstrated to be utterly im- practicable, “When he had finished General Wash- burn banded him the followiny letier from the se yetary of Sh Pox ones Bepariment:— as DRAR Sip have to eke TE ie oR aE a tee pee ‘the’ Mn ot MaRronry, sm to express Tegret that: Bis donpdiay wien Mba sce Seplying 10. t.

The letter of the Secretary of the British Pust OMce Bepartment ts a complete answer, ‘not ‘only to Mr. Orton, but to ail the opponents of the postal telegraph system. Adaiiral Porter’s Views on the Pacific Tele= graph Cable. Admiral ‘Porter has addressed a letter to Cyrus W. Field, concluding 28 follows:— 1 antof opinion that telegraphic communication between ‘Calfornfajasd Chins is a.neceuty, and the sooner Congreas ‘Lakes @ substantial interest imbtier the better it will be are now engoged in devising erican commerce and anatoiing from the Englishahe superioriiy they have gained by permit- ting rebel cruisers to fit out in British ports ayninst our mer- eantife marine, Iam satistied that we thail succeed in this ‘object a0 Rear to every American heart, and su aecessary to ‘our welfare aga nation, Mn connection with this commerce your felegraphic cable wil! be indispensable; and even 3¢ Congress gives no aid it must eventually be establiabed. In ie meantiine the conntry fa deprived of certain advantages, und we are consequently loxers, and those who do not now foe! like tuking ax interest fn the matter will live to regret it. ‘Congressman Lynch’s Speech ou the Decline of American Shipping. ‘The speech of Congressman Lynch, to-day, in ex- Position of the bill of the special commilitee on the decline of American tonnage was received with great interest, because long impatientiy awaited as the initiatr¥e of measures tha! shall previde a remedy. Representatives of all the large iron shipbuilding establishments caught eagerly his words, In the gal- leries, as affording encouregement that this industry, ro natioual in iis character, shall soon receive the legistative aid it requires, Parties desirous to estab- lieh steamship lines that shall compete with the British, and merchauts unwilling to yield the entire carrying trade to the Enghsh flag, will be glad that atlength a voice has been heard on the floor of Con- gress mm practical sympathy with their views. | Subsidizing New York and European Steam- ship Lines, An opposition to the subsidizing of lines of steam- ers from New York to European ports has. sprang Dp. It appears the owners of establislied American lines consider that there 1s great injustice in graut- ing subsidies te new lines when they have been in the fleld fignting against foreig. rivalry. They thiuk if subsidies are granted to any enterprise it shouia be to the jines now running. The Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic. “The contest over the choice of Commander-in- Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic was hotly contonted to-day and will ve continued to-morrow. A sectional strife has started up, the Eastern men declaring that the West has had the eommandin thelr own hands from the ‘beginning. Pleasanton svems tobe the most prominent name mentioned from the East ii connection with the-office, The ‘Gcneral is in the city looking after his interests, Schenck, of Ohfo, is also an aspirant. A hand to hand encounter 1s going on between Logan and Schenek, the former, now the incumbent of the -omee, again ‘being a candidate. Thore are several 18 strivigg dn the race, but do not appear to ‘haveany show. General Logan's address at the opening of the encampment this morning was long sand somewhat progy, but contained much valuable information concerning the operations of the asso- chation. Rayment of Volunteers Under the President’s ‘Biret Proclamation. The Scereiary of War, ina communication to the House, says that on the'sd of May, 1861, the President jexued a proclamation cailing out a volunteer force ©! 44,000 officers and men to serve three years unless @.oner Gschirgetl, for the suppression of insurrec- den against the national authority, with a promise of $100 ab the close of the service. The public exi- goncies were, however, such as to tead to the ac- cepiauce,of double this number of officers and men. ‘Under the xecent. deciston of the Supreme Court of the Paited States each volunteer who entered ‘the wervige under the proelamation 1s entitled to an allowance or @ounty of 6100 irrespective of the fact that he might not have served at least two years, as required by the act of Congress of July 22, 186), nor have been discharged ou account of woonds, as prowdéd’ by subsequens acis af Congress, ‘bet provided enly that he had been hon vably discharged.
