"CHEAP TELEGRAPHY., To Tux Epitor or THe HERaLp:-- In the Henatp of this day you give the above hoad- ing to a report of u meeting of the Atlantic and Paciflc Telegraph Company, at which ‘a sweeping reduction of rates was determined upou,”” } Does this mean that the proposed reduced rates are bused upona feir calculation of the busimese war to yield a tair percer v tothe shareholders, and that the reduced rates a: (o be lasting? If so, then it may be that we will enjoy cheup telegrapby. Or is the cause of these proposed reduced rates to be traced to a spirit of oppovition! If this latter ve the moving cause we may possibly have for a few months lower rates at the expense of the shareholders, and the usual end of the | opposition will be an amalgamation of the rival com. panies, and the consequent ratsing of the rates above what they are now, Whatis the experience of the ri- val compunies for the past? It is wel! known that the Western Union bas with difficulty paid six per cent per annum, and the Adantic and Pacitic nas yet to pay its first dividend. There caa be but two reasons for | this, One is the business done at their rates has not been sufficient, or the management has been defective, In either case bow 18 a reduction uf rates to affect the shareholders? Cau it be expected that they are so tull of philanthropy that they will pay out of ther own pockets tor the telegraph business of their betmyed teliow countrymen? Cheap rates lor opposition.sako means ‘‘an Inter- necine war till the weaker goes to the wall,” and the usual resuit will tollow—namely, a stronger monopoly and higher rates, 1 do not deny that fair competition is good for the public, provided the public are well served and the sharehp.ders roceive fair dividends, It the snare- holders have not received fair dividends in the past at their old rates, how can it be expected that reduced rates can be maintained? Itis said iower rates will bring In an increase of business, That is true; but will not au increase ot business require au iucrease ol out lay to do the busmess? There 1s a limit to the business: tat can Le done overa telegraph line. It is well | known that daring the business hours of the day ull the lines are used to their Wimost capacity, and it 18 npussibie to do more business which reduced rates ight cause, uniess by putting up more wires, It to this, that pust rates with the wires worked up to their greatest cupacity did not remunerate the sharebolders, und an increase in the wires with lower rates must bring in less protits to the shareholders, In fact, was it not for the scientitle improvements— | | Weestera Union, the rates would hive remained the | same us they were five years ago; und the natural in. | Gensel banioors, ‘would’ Have. tecesettated a H large outlay for new lines, The Auantic und Pi aiso use u quadruplex system, and, it ts shid, has the | ner of health and enorgy. control of un automatic system, bY Which latter sys tem it is Claimed that one line caa be made to do the | services of ten lines by the Morse system, or of four | lines by the quadrupiex system. Here is the key to cheap telegraphy—namely, the | increase in the cartying capacity of a line by the’ use ol quadraplex and automatic systems. These ure the | only means by which cheap teiegraphy ean be | obtained, and the telegraph Company, which controls the best of these systems must be able to ao the ser- | vice cheaper and more expeditiously tor the public aud | | wis sreater prolits to its shareholders, very evideut that reduced rates for opposition | aes hever give Cucap Lelegraply to the public. | The more vusiness one telegraph company dovs at | rates below cost Lhe more money Will the shareholders | lose, the sooner will the company become insolvent, | and then its antagonist will have a clear field and the | pubic wil! be subject to a yfoweriul monopoly. If the | managers of the telegraph companies will pay more | attention to the use of improved sysiems of telegraphy, | | which will inereato the carryiug capacity of thelt | lines, instead of fighting like “iuis" and “bears” in | | Wall street the public will pot bi long to wait for | low rates, nor will shareholders wait tong tor good | dividends from their increased business, Opposition | without such improvements ive Os reduced rates for ashort time, bat will 3 end in higher rates and mopopoly. ANTI-MONUPOLY, Naw York, Feb, 20, 1877, THE AMAR AMARANTH ASSAULT. Douglass Walker, who assaulted Thomas F. Clark with ahorsewhip op tho night of Monday, February 12, behind the scenes at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, passed a gloomy day and night in the Kings County Penitentiary, where he was removed on Wednesday evening. An eilort was mado yesterday to effect his release upon an order of the Court, but it was not successiul, {his morning he will be broughs be- fore Justice Gilbert, in the Supreme Court, tv response 10 a writ of habeus corpus issued in his behalf, when the question of the legality of his sentence and coi mitment will be argued, An effort will alsu be made by his counsel, General Catlin, to have the proceed- ings revieweu by Justice Moore in the Kings county Court of Sessions, — POLICE 1 BRU ALITY, To THe EviToR oF THR HenaL In passing the corver of Thirty-first street and Sixth avenue jast evening | saw a policeman walk deliber- ately up toon unoflending map with a dog under his arm, throw him down and then kick him.

THE WACKSA SWA Fatigue and Disappointment in the Morass. IN WATER AND MIRE Construction of a Second Herald Lcokout. THE “SMOKE” AGAIN SEEN. Seventeen Degrees South of East of | the Herald Camp. - Peni nai conta ey A DEER HU i Sixx o? Pinuooks, Fla., Feb, 10, 1877. Tho first day’s march of the Hera.p’s party through the morass made them weary und despondent when at night they dried their clothing and rested themselves by the genial fire, But tts kindly warmth, a bounte- oug supper of venison and batter cakes and @ ‘today all around’? restored the normal degree of cheertul- ness and kindled in our hearts once more the necded enthusiasm fora second day's venture. So, after a due time of gossip and song, the sonorons and magis- terial snoring of the ‘‘Judge,’’ with its regular cadence of rise and fall, betokened oblivion of the toll of the day. The negroes in their paimetto shed chanted Jower and lowee their ‘“spiritool’”? hymns, and at last the crackling of the fire or the occasional dream- haunted mouthings of tho slumbering hounas even subsided, and the silenco of the wilderness brooded over our forgetfulness, “THR JUDGE,” Tn the wilderness the sun does not emerge from the valo of night as early as elsewhere, and it must be some time after his gaze broadens on us over the ti- tl “thick”? eastward of the camp before we could venture into the water, The chill of tho early morn- ing would seck out our marrow and abide there during the whole day. Bat at nine o'clock the oxplorers were at the terminus of yesterday’s advance, press- ing forward by the compass, In the march the “Judge,” who was the engincer of the expedition, was at the head of the line, always the foremost and eager to emulate the youth who waved the motto of Excelsior.” He is a personage of so much impor- tance in the HkeaLp enterprise that a brief picture may be interesting. The ‘Judge’? is only thirty-five years old, but the weight of public cares hus tinged: his hair and whiskers with gray. His figure is stout and muscular, surmounted by a large head, which is supported by a massive neck. His features are strong und manly, His eyes bave a misty expression, veil- ing their pale dopths of blue, but suggest con- ceptions differing m their boldness and scope from those ot ordinary men. A forehead of massive strength and brows bent with habitual thougbt, The whole face is suffused with a rubicuod glow, the ban- Such Is the chief assistant of the H#RALD correspondent in the direction of the work of exploration. TOIL AND DISAPPOINTMENT. The second and third day’s progress in the swamp was hike that of the first, but much more fatiguiag, ‘Ihe morasses lying in our way were deeper and deeper as we advanced, and through the middle of them, where we were compellea to wade with the chilly | water reaching up to our armpits, would often be swift currents, which bora along iragments of trees with great force, Tho peril hero was considerable, but the “Judge,” by adexterous ase of bis “Jacob staff,” would turn the course of the inert monsters just as they came floating down upon us, and thas prevented & possible tragedy occurring in the service of journalism, We were astonished by the number of streams which crossed our path, Some of them we knew must sink before reaching the Wacissa, a8 the country south of our course had been explored to a great extent, and they were not found there. In our progress thero were no contemporary incidents to lend us encourage- ment, Two miles from the HrraLp lookout we came upon a ridge timbered by large pines, loitier than any of those near our camp, One of these was selected and another station was built, which was called’ HrraLp Observatory No. 2 Its construction did not imterrapt our extension of the line, as two men continued with us while the others wel No.1 and go much nearer the supposed mystery, we congratulated ourselves on seeing something really worth all our trouble from its top. Fate willed that we should be disappointed. Either the station was lo- cated on too low ground or the mystery was not at any time when we wero there manifesting itself. At all events hope was rebuffed, and the blue devils pock- eted our spirits, Nothing remarkable had yet met our | progress, and we plodded campward our weary way, with the shadows of scepticism resting upon our thoughts.

Our way did not long lay on the dry ridge on which was the camping ground, but we plashed through pools and “runs,” and wrestled with the clinging thorns of tangled vines in veritable jungles, It was not long before we abandoned the path and skirted a swampy stream, called ‘Stevens’ Brancn,” which flows toward the south and loses itself in a sink just north ot a colebrated iinpenetrablo maze of vegetation known as ‘Gum Swamp.’’ The air was denghtfully bracing, and the sunlight, dropping slant gleams upon the earth, seemed tu lavish its caresses With prodigality upon the verdure it chanced to touch to make amends for ite infrequent entrance toto that shade, AN EVASI ‘AG. The hounds bad found several scents as we came along, but their conduct did not promise well, and so we sounded them back. But Flora now gave mouth on the windward side of a thicket with accents not to be doubted. Cricket soon opened and Remus dashed through the tanglewood witn deep throated alarums that rang far and wide through the wood, The bunts- men were placed so to half surround the covert; but it soon was evident that the doer had been aroused by smolling us before we came up, and had run some distance before again lying down, The dogs were off in pursuit, alter puzzling over the scent lying avout the thicket for sometime, and we followed them ag beat we could, They did not go too far anead, out instinctively within our view, which is saying mach in @ country of palmetto undergrowth and ti-ti trellises, At last they were close upon the game in the morass bordering the ‘‘branch.’’ I had dismounted in order the better to shoot, and one of the huntsmen, with the pony, had gone to the other side when we were at the head of the stream, He was at the wind- ward of the game. We were scarcely up with the hounds when trom a tight copse leaped a royal stag, his great white horns glinting in the sunlight, his eyes flashing with fear and his nostrils distended with tho pitiful snort, which was half a sob, with which he recognized tho pursuit of his traditional enemies, But, alas! wo were too late in levelling our guns, We had not yet taken our positions, The stag was bounding toward us, when he wheeled like a flash. of lignt and vanished through the shadowy cypresses. We heard the crackling of his filght as tho hounds rushed after him. With the horn we warned the hantsman on the other side, but the deer must have swept up the bed of the shallow, f@he went by “young’’ Williams an- seen. SLAUGHTER OF A Dox, ‘The horn called the hounds back from the chase ‘and we tollowed the stream along the edge of the morass some distance further, when they aguin bayed, this time in chorus, A splendid fat doe broke from the “thick,” and two charges {rom my gun were emptied into her shoulder, But she sped on, with head erect, and the dogs, intoxicated with the odor of blood, madly leaped atter her, We did not know how badly she was wounded, and unless she should soon drop from ex- hausuion it would bave been useicss to bave pursued her through the buggy woodland on horsevack. The dogs bayed furiously and we listened, Their potes at length seemed no longer to recede from us. The horn was sounded; its mellow tones drew back no answer- ing bay, but presently Flora made her appearance, tawning before us, while her soft eyes seemed more than ever human in their expression of aagacity, It was evident that the doe bad fallen, and that Cricket and Remus were standing guard over her, whi! Flora brought us the message of victory. I sent the two puntsmen on the trail, which they found to be a short distance from the covert, dyed with frequent drippings of blood, and they soon came upon the pros- trate form of the deer, who was gasping for her last breath. The knifedrank from her throat and the tragedy was over. CAMPWARD BOUND, The bleeding carcass was flung upon the back of tho mare, who protested violently with kicks and snort. ings against tho ghastsy burden, and it was strongly lashed to the saddle. Several other deer wero started, but as luck would bave it, ran from us, starting beyond the range of shotguns. A rifle would be much more’ effective in hun‘ing deer in Florida, especially in the swampy country, where it is impossible to chase them with a hore, Several chances for rifle shots may be obtained, while in an instant the game passes beyond the range of the shotgun. Wending campward our way wo found that the ex- citement of the hunt had borne usseveral miles away, and we reached wat sunset, The noble doe was sus- pended on a pole above the reach of tue “‘varmints,”’ and The watch on Observatory No. 1. however, reporied | ‘Aunt’? Hannuh siicee trom its teuderloin the steaks asmoke descried, He was sent to locate it once more as soon a3 we reached camp and was ordered to take | the compass up the ladder with him, This was no easy matter, coutred, he slowly mounted to the topmost branch, When there he drew the ‘‘Jacob’ with arope and lashed it fast to a hihb of the pine, The compass was placed upon it and exactly balanced. | namely, the duplex and quadruplex telegraph systems | The watch obtained the direction ot the smoke as he | saw itirom his station and tied the needle, We re- peatedly questioned him from below, so that he might describe the apparition which he saw, and he declared | sille | it to bo identical with that which had been pointed out | to him from childhood as the “Wacissa smoke.?’ When he descended we examined the compass, The record was the same us that we had first obtained by a | Jess reliable method, The “smoke"? rose soventeen | There seemed no possibility of error in the observation. Un the succeeding day the line which bad been pro- Jjec'ed was caretully tested by backward sightings taken with the compass, and it was ascertained that it was true. We, thereiore, pushed forward without varia- tion of our direction; but the foreman of the assist- ; tants was sent with one man to the southward to con- tinue an old line projected some time before by the +| Juage,’? 80 as to ascertain is relation with the one on which we were working. it had also veen begua on the basis of an actual observation. It was followed into tho Wacissa River by Byrd, the foreman, but ho found nothing to repay us for our trouble, The line bore no analogy 1m its direction to the one which we were pursuing, and thus a doubt was thrown on the identty of the “smoke! which we had seen. A DEER HUNT, ‘The “Judge” led the van into the morass on the next morning, and I, accompanied by ‘*young” Will- jams, a splendid huntsman, and Jake Byrd, set out to follow the hounds, The deer in this region are very plentitul, and as tho latder of the camp noeded replon~ isting the motive for sveking sport was av much ne. cessity ag a desire for amusement, Past the camp runs an old faint path, dubbed b y the hunters a “road,” which leads to a Louse known as “Old Man Stevens’ ” oight or ten miles distant, and after that nowhere in particular, It is bordered by excellent game coverts, This path we accepted as our guide, 1 was mounted on a stout and sturdy little steed, born and bred in the woods and marshes, who was commended to me tor her sagacity and coolness in crossing the bogs and sloughs. THE HOUNDS. We started right merrily, the dogs pushing ahead with an air of proud excitement, as if suuiling the dis- tant achievement. There were Flora, Cricket, Remus and Bob. Flora bad been a mater familias, for Cricket and Remus wore her progeny. Hor favo expresses profundity of wisdom seldom seen in dogkiud and sometimes lacking even in certatn specimens of men, ‘The soft languor ot her eyes, when at rest, was strikingly contrasted on this morning, when sho thrilled with auticipauing ardor, with their lumbent flergencse, Cricket is a chip of the old block and trotted along with the demureness of her mother, But soon a diflerence When the fended him, which probavly accounts for an appareutly UDAcceUnLabie assault on a peaceublo citizen, ry | tm their charactors was to bo manifest It was lashed fast to him, and, thus ac- | staif’? up to him | for the evening meal. Whata relish they owed to tho exertement of the day none but the old hunter may | know. Kemembering my experience on the northern “oad lands’? of Dakota laid a piece on the ashes of | the smouldering tire, and watched it as it simmeringly emitted a delicious aroma, I turned it with a stick, and by the timo the rude culinary process was com- pleted it was well besmeared with ashes, Then witha knife I scraped off this crast, which had imparted a pe- | cultar, racy favor, sweeter than that derived trom any | of the ordinary kitchen condiments, and ate the bit | with vivid backward glances of the eye of appetite. It reminded me strongly of a round of antelope eaton in company with Captain Jack Crawford, the intrepid | scout, and Frank Gruard, the famous guide, on the bank | of the Belle Fourche, in momentary apprehension for our lucky scalps. But the jater banquet could not equal the former; so much difference is caused by the biting grip of hunger. The adventures of the ‘judges’ on the Ilne of ex- ploration had been more yaried than usual during the | day, but I shall defer a description of them till the next budget, THE ALLEGED TUBE FRAUDS. ‘Tho National Tube Works Company has been charged ‘with perpetrating a series of frauds on the government in demanding and receiving drawbacks on oxported fron that was not previously imported. The charges are made by R, K. Holdang, a former employs of the company, and are being investigated by the govorn- ment. In an interview Mr. Holdane says acted as salosman and correspondent in the office in Boston for two years. Suits are to be brought against the, tube company by the United States government. It is charged that they have received trom the governments more than $100,000 drawback on birt nt goods on the plea that they were manufactured? of imported iron on which duty had been paid. The tacts are substantially correct, but the amount of drawback received is losa than the amount stated. They renily received about $20,000 on American iron, manulac- tured into pipes and exported to Canada. ‘This was in 1872, 1873 and 1874. The iron was ordered in Pitts. ourgand other places, and after being madeup in pipe was sont to Canada, For each export falsely sworn to they are liable toa fine of $5,000, The total amount of ines would aggregate $500,000 if the gov. erpment eniorces the penalty, Tbe company, for instance, Mr. Holdane alleges, would im- port 10,000 tons of ‘Knglish iron, which was made up and disposed of in this country. When a Canadian order would come in they would send American iron and charge it as English, and re- ceive the drawback from the government. It was im- possible under the circumstances for the government to discover the fraud by ordinary inecavs, fhe wer was brought to the notice of tho govern- ent, and they are now acting upon it. They state that I made overtures to them for money, That is false and absurd, Inasmuch as the matter was entirely out of ei hands and ju the hands of the government. { could not compromise the matter with thom if T would, 1 have all the tacts in the case and can prove them by documentary evi- dence. A BRUTAL HUSBAND. John Brown, forty-four years , of age, residing at No, 60 Nelson street, Brooklyn, was arrested yesterday, on splyde gh avenue, on the charge of brutally asexuling his wite Mary. ‘Phe accused 18 held to await the result of bis Wife's injuries, Which are considered serious, THE VANDERBILT WILL. Mr. William H. Vanderbilt Does Nut Believe @ Contest Probable. HE WILL MAKE O PROMISES. When a Contest Can Be Made—What You May Bet Your Life On, In view of the excitement created by the publication io Weertay'e Henao of the probability of a contest over the Jate Commodore Vanderbilt's will, a Hzxa.e reporter called on Mr, William H. Vandervilt, the prin- cipal legatee, at bis elegant residence, No, 457 Filth avenue, yesterday afternoon. A visitor was engaged iu conversation with Mr. Vanderbilt at the time tio reporter called, In a few momenta the visitor do- parted, and the reporter was ushered into asumptuously furnished parlor, where he found Mr, Vanderbilt, who * courteously inquired the object of the reporter's visit, ‘Thus commenced an interview which was brief but ta the point.’ Mr. Vanderbilt prefaced his remarks by saying that interviews generally were to ba regretted when they stirred up popular excites ment He then clearly expressed himself on four principal points, He was on good terms with all the members of the family. He did not believe any ot them intended to contest the will, He would execute all the provisions of the will just as the late Commo- dore desired, After that might make whatever disposition he thought fit of the amount that was left tohim. He would not say what course would be pursued should the willbe contested, but repeatedly and strongly insisted that be would make no promises and would carry out all the provisions of the will. From his determined manner it was at once evident ‘that an offer of compromise under threat of a laws suit would meet with but Jittle favor irom bim. 1t was easy to seo as he sat cosily in his comfortable arm chair that under all bis appafent indifference William H. Vanderbilt wasa thorough business man, and very determined in whatever he undertook, Atl New Yorkers were for years familiar with the appear- ance his father, the late Commodore, presented in bia afternoon drives or as he chatted in his office; the Kindly face, with its lines of shrewdness; the broad, intelligent forehead, airy whiskers and white neck tie, that gave him such a clericul look that he was often taken for a minister, But lew, however, are acquainted with the appearance of the son—the successor to the most princely fortune in America, and the executor of all his father’s recent plans. Although not so well known, on account of his tather’s prominence, Mr. William H. Vanderbilt has had quite ag much to do of late years with the management of the Commodore’s vast business interests ag the old gentleman himaolf, The outlines of his faco strongly resemble those of his father. There is the same high forehead, the samo aquiline nose and the thin, compressed lips; but here the resemblance ceases, The son is stout, thick-sel, with a full, fushea face, and flowing mutton-chop whiskers, The most striking parts of his countenance are the eye and chin, which carry to the beholder the idea of inflexible determination and great boldvess combined with shrewdness anda thorough knowledge of business, His manner was perfectly casy, but It was evident that he was nota man who would incau- tiously fall into the mistake of makiug any slate: meut which he might hereafter regret, THN INTERVIEW. during the few minutes of the reporter’s stay :— Reportsr—Mr, Vanderbilt, 1 wish to ask you what you have to say in regard to an interview with your brother, published in this morning’s Heratp? Mr. Vanperuitt—Well, I have nothing special to say about it. Those interviews only create excitement in the public mind and do no good. ReporTek—It seems trom statements made in the interview reterred to that there may bea contest of the will The Heratp would be glad to state what you ‘will do in cage there is such a contest, Mr. VaNpeRuiLT—I don’t seo that a contest followa from the interview you speak of. There has been an eutirely different statement published in another paper, RerorteR—But if some of the heirs should be dis- contented with tho will and endeavor to break it would you compromise or fight it out in the courts? Mr. Vanperuitt—I do not see what good it would do them to contest 1, They can’t contest the will any- way before it is admitted to probate. It would do them no good to enter into such a contest, RerorteR—Might they not ie 80 with the idea of compromise? Mr, VanpeRniLt—There is wag in the interview with Cornelius in the Heap to show that he intends to contest the will, 1 do not take any exception to what Mr, Vanderbilt has said, Rercrrer—But he said that he had not fully deter. mined on his course of action, and that if there isa contest other heirs will act with him, Mr. Vanperuitt—Exactly so, He has not said he is going to attempt to break the will or that he is not 1 don’t take any exception to that. If there's any disposition to break the will, or anything of the kind, I don’t know of it; it hasn’t been imtimaied to me. If any one wants to comtest the will he will have a whole year alter it te admitted to probate in which it can be contested, It does not seem that Cornelius intends to contest it, and I don’t believe it either. We hay ways been on good terms. I saw him last summer and we had qnite a pleasant conversation together, I always hved on good terms with my sisters and every one of the family. 1 see no grounds on which the will can be contested, It can’t be said that Mr. Vanderbilt didn’t make it and he had the right to do what he ploased with his own property. NO PROMISES. RevorTKR—But, should it happen to be contested, would you compromise or let It go to the courts? Mr. Vaxpermitr—Mr, Cornelius Vanderbilt made that will and I am going to carry through the provi- sions of that will, They can’t do anything before it is admitted to probate and I am not going to have any promises exacted from me atall, I um going to exe- cute every provision of the will, you can just bet your life on that, 1am going to make no promises. Corne. Jius Vanderbilt intrasted that will to me to carry out and I shall carry it out to the best of my ability. [ don’t think there’sa aisposition onthe part of uny | member of tho family to do differently, Alter tbat is done, of course | shall have a right to do as 1 please With what is my own, wT KILLED BY A BEAN, Yesterday afternoon Coroner Simms, of Brooklyn, heid an inquest on the body of Henry Northeote, four years of age, of No, 207 Baltic street, whose singuiar death occurred on Wednesday morning last. Lt seems that the lute lad cailed his mother to look at some: thing on the wall, Ashe did go be sank to the floor and expired, Attho post-mortem it was discovered that the little fellow had been choked by 4 kidney beau. POLICEMEN'S PAY, To tae Eprror or tux HeRaiy:. Tread with much delight in your paper this morn- ing the kind speech delivered by Senavor Creamer in Albany yesterday against the reduction of our pay. Notbing is castor, aud hardly anything requires less sense of humor, than to make game of the polico; but if this humor lightened our sometimes disagreeabie duties it would be pleasing evento us, [tis proposed to reduce our pay, At its present standard it is good, But does not a taithtul, inteiligent oflleer who cannut be bribed euro every penny of it, and will it be denied that there are many such on the force? A patrolman gots $1,200 per annum, out ot which he pays $290 for unitorm, making his pay reaily $950 per yeur, Out of this $950 deduct 300 for house rept, leaving $650 for of who are married to Ww that a milliounaire does, ‘The public should remem. ber that we havo hearts as well as clubs, and, to con- Uipue the unintentional joke, tbat afew of us are tramps.
