T assumed the office of secretary of the treasury under great ombarrass- ment. T was held up to the people aa believing fa s financlal policy that brought unnumbered woes, and great- er than befell the Greeks between Achilles and Agsmemnon. All evils upon society during our period of tress was attributed tome as t] csute. 1 said no a thousand times where I would have said yes, and was compelled to decline honest advice. Under such adverse circumatances I have no wordsto express my gratitude. T am glad of the aesurance you have givenme that you believe I did the best I knew how under trying cir- cumstances. 1 am giad to approve the vote given by my democratic Iriends yoesterday. No mun can more ably advocste democratic principles than Allan G. Thurman. He sud T served years in the senate_together, and strove vigorously in behalf of our respective parties, but were always friendly, and found that courtesy could exist between political oppo- ents. 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. 1 feel largely indebted to the gentlo. wan who ntroduced me for thishappy issue. Qoestious which now the American peopie are sssuming a loss dangerous sspect. May iseues involving the futegrity of the union inthe last twenty years have been settled. Questions of public honor, no longer arite without a speedy set- tlement. When we can feel the ae- surance that all, without regard to race or eolor, stand on_equal footing, then el dangers that threaten us will be removed. Unexsmpled prosperi- ty now existsin the whole nation. Ohio is rapidly changiug from sn ag- ricultaral to a manufacturing state. It seemed to halt for atime inits progress, but now it is rapidly ad- vancing.” Aftar dwelling some time on the renults of the tenth censas, Mr. Sher- man concluded by refating the com- mon twaddle that he wasa social ice- berg, and peoposed 8 round of hand shaking, which was heartily indulged in.

Euch board of directors rat- ified the agroement, and the consoli- dation may now be considered as & fixed fact, as all that remains is for the ratification of the action of the directors by a vote of the stock hold- ere.

Special Dispatch to The Bee. Nrw Your, January 20—1 a. m. —Apropos of the consolidation of the telegraph companfes, The Daily raphic yesterday afternoon eai ‘Some of the daily papers, and no- ticeably The Herald, of yesterday morning, are beginning a great out- cry on the subject of monopoly in telegraph affalra, but no allusion is made to the attempted monopoly of intelligence which these same papera bave been trying to enforce for many years. Itis understood that papers connected with the New York Assocl- ated Press and its tributary associa- tions in different parts of the country, are trying to get the new consolidated company to commit Itself to a policy of restriotion or prohibition of rival sssociations,and to give them & monop- oly; and it is alsostated on the best of authority that the conductors of these sume papers have boasted that their franchise in the press organiza- tlon of which they sre members, is werth a very much increased price because the consolidated telegraph company will stop competition by pro- hibitory action againat existing rivals, and in the same breath these papers raisedan outery against existing rivals. So far ms telegraphic monopoly concerned, the ouly interest the pub- Tic of this country has fs confined to two points, namely—tbe price of the ‘messages and the facilities for trans- mission of the same. If the cost is low, and the transmission prompt, there is no cante for interfer. ence. In plain words, what the public demsnds is results. The means of accomplishing these re- sults they leave to those people who have made them a special study. One company working under one set of expenses, under ove managoment,can do this_ business for the people at much cheaper rates and much better form than two o three or morecom- panies, with rival interests and multi- plicd expenacs, 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 cnly mecessary to cito the tact that evenlast year, when the bnsiness was ‘much greater than that of any previous year, over 1,000,000 more mees having been sent than in any previous year, the average was one for every two of the pepulation. That is tosay, with a population of over 50,000,000, the number of messages betwcon all pacts of the country was 28,000,000, including the rezular and acial preas messages of all associations and correspondents of newspapers. As to the desire of certain newspapers to secure & monopoly of the business of transmitting Y:lel.ligmc'. we can as- sure them that they are farther away from the purpose that 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 v arted on a few thonsand dollars | capital, now have a stock valued at | millions, have doubled and trebled he amount of the original stock, nota- iy The Times and The Herald, Ac- | cording to their own argument they should give their papets to tho public at @ much lesa rate, say two for a cent. The an who insures fo the publtc of { this country the transmission for the faturs of telegraphic messagesat the minimum of cost with the maximum of celerity, will bo regarded as a_public | benefactor, no matter whether he | does it by the consolidation of thres | companies in oue, o in any other way; but the man who attempts to monopolizs the catrying of intelli- gence, will bo execrated as a conspira- tor against mankind, Fire in Deadwsod.

At 1 o'clock Mr. Willlams called up the bill to prevent the intreduction and dissemination of epizootio or_commaunicable diseases of domestic animals for the purpose of making s specch thereon. Darlog the morning hour Mr. Gar- land, from the committee on judiciary, reported a petition from Richard Fat- terdiand tho bill removing his politi- cal disabilities. Tho petition sots forth that the petitioner resigned a position as United S'ates military storo keeper April, 1860, which was accepted May b, 1861, and is ot in- debted to the government. Ho asks tobe relieved fiom any disabilities that may attach o such a record. Mr. Edmunds ssid it was a scandal on congress, if it was not intended a8 a joke, to ask ralief from dissbilities on such a stitement. It did not ap- pear, from tho statement, that any disabilities had been incurred. Gen. Sherman and many others have held poaitions in the army, and resigned them. He felt cortain that the bill ought not to be pressed, unless con- gress meant to make congress ridica- Tous. Mr. Garland said the senator from Vermont should know, if he knows anything, that he would not put in sucha bill as a joke. The petition, ho stated, was as reepectful as any that had been presented to the senate. Tt stated nc offense,becanse no offense had been committed. Mr. Fatterly, he said, was the superintendent of the Little Rock arsenal at the time it was seized in 1861, His vote had boen refused by the hell broth of recon- atruction, and he asks conress to re- move the disabiiities with which he is charged, whatever they may be. Mr. Ingalls asked whether, as a matterof fact, the petitioner engaged in the rebellion. Mr. Garland replied that, as a mat- terof fact, he did not. Hs cited a case from North Carolina where, not- withstanding the fact that no offo-se was shown, the bill was passed. HovsE. The house decided, by a vote of 220 to 34, that it has mo power to prevent a member from voting,thoogh he way be interatted in the subject before the house, but that it is a mat- ter of couscience for the member.
