Telegraphic Postal Service.
Memphis Appeal: The question fif
telegraph service in connection ith the
postoftice is widely discussed by thc pub
lic press, and the outcome of the dis
. cussion appears to be a follows: The
pjv?ftftsiriot to buy the tsresent pri
vate line, but mun . tss vw.
It has the same right to build and
operate as corporations have. The gov
ernment lines should not be a monopoly;
competition would check abuses on the
part of the government and of the cor
porations. The Western Union is a
Monopoly injurious to the public in
terests and to commerce. The telegraph
hae can be largely extended with ad
vantage; and quick postal communica
tion U wanted to take the place of slow
ails. The telegraph should be the
poor man's mail as well ss the rich one's
The postaire authorities aeree that there
wonld be no important difficulty about
dding a telegraph service, the letter
carriers delivering the telegrams, ine
tost will not be great and the sendee
will ruT t nwn expenses, while rates
will be lower. The necessary service
will be SDoointed not bv the politicians,
bat nntW tV.ii Pivil Service rules. The
opinion
is senersl that at its next
i Congress most take same steps to
ward checking telegraphic monopoly,
sad for the protection and fntherance of
general quick communication among
the peopk.

necessary to its tranquility and happi
ness. They are capable of giving more
pleasure or pain to one another than to
the greater part of other people. Tkei
situation renders their mutual svm

common happiness; and, by the wisdom
, . . ... I
of Nature, the same situation, bv oblic
ingthem to accomodate themselves to one
another, renders that sympathy more
habitual, and, thereby, more lively, more
distinct and more determinate
The children of brothers and sisters
are uaturallv connected bv thp friend
ship which, after separating into differ
ent families, continues to exist between
their parents. Their good agreement
improvps the enjovment of that
friendship; their discord would di.-turl
it. As thev seldom live in the sanif
family, however, though of more impor
tance to one another than the greater part
of other people, they are of much lew
than brothers and sinters. And as their
mutnal ympathy is less necessary, so it
9 less habitual and, therefore, propor
tionately weaker.
The children of cousins, being still
less connected, are of still less importance
to one another, and so natural affection
gradually diminishes as the reaction
grows more and more remote.
What is called affection i- in reality.
nothirg but habitual sympathy. Our
concern in the happiness or the misery
of those who are the objects of our af
fections: our desire to promote the one,
and prevent the other is either the actual
feeling of that habitual sympathy or the
necessary consequence of it. Relations
being usually placed in situation- w hich
naturally create this habitual sympathy
it is expected that a suitable degree o!
iffection Rbouktake place among them
We generally find that it actually does
take place, wo therefore uaturallv expect
that it should; and we are, upon thai
ice.iiiiit. more shocked when we fine'
that it does not. The general rule b

mother in a certain degree, ought al

in a certain manner ; and that there i
dwsys the highest impropriety, and
ometimes even a sort of impiety, in
their being affected in different man
ner. A parent without parental tender
ness, a child devoid of all filial reverence
ippoir monsters, the objects not of otir
hatred only, but of our horror.
Though, in a particular instance, the
circumstances which usually produce
these natural affections, njay, by some
accident, not have taken place, yet re
spect for the general rule will, frequent
ly in some measure, supply their place.
and produce something which, though
not altogether the same, may bear how
ver, a considerable resemblance to those
Affections. A father is apt to be less at
tracted to a child, who, by some means
has been separated from him in infancy.
ind does not return to him tin he nas
zrown up to manhood. The father is
ipt to feel less paternal tenderness for
the ehilil. in such ca.e: and the child
ess filial reverence for the father
Brothers and sUter-, when they have
been educated in distant countries, are
apt to feel a similar diminution of affec
tion. With the dutiful and the virtu
us. however, respect for the general
rule w ill frequently produce something
which, though by no means the same
vet very much resembles those natursl
Affections. Even during the separation,
the parent and the child, the brothers,
or the sisters, are by no means indiffer
ent to one another. They consider one
another as persons to and from whom
e fftata affections arc due, and they live
iu the hope of being sometime in a situ

JUDGE BLACK'S PBETENDKD
"SECESSION SECRETS."
The First Shot at Fort Sumter Who
is ResDonsible for it
The following is published in the Phil
adelphia Times of the 8th inst :
To the Editor of the Times: Various
cirumstances which would be tinecessary
to relate here have delayed this notice
of the public utterances of Judge Jere
miah S. Black. Under the ad captandum
title of ''riecession Secrets" he opens his
unwarranted attack upon myself thus:
"Mr. Davis now caargeshim (Mr. Buc
hanan) with timidity because he did not
evacuate the forts and let secession have
everything its own way. That is ridicu
lous. Mr. Davis also makes a sinner of
his judgment when he expresses the
opinion that if iu utter had been given
up no other State than South Carolina
would have gone out. In truth and in
fact Mr. Davis and all other Secessionists
desired that evacuation for the sole pur
pose of making their predetermined de-
purtuiL" easv auu sate, oucu a cuuspic
uous act of concession would have been
an acknowledgement of their right to
secede, and they would have tumbled
out as fast as they could formulate their
ordinances. If Mi. Davis will tax his
memory a little he will recollect easily
enouzh that his object in trying to influ
ence Mr. Buchanan in this direction vvas
to remove an obstacle from the path on
which he and his constituents had made
up their mind to travel. South Caro
lina tried to bully the President.
Others, including Mr. Davis, tried to
coax him. It is no evidence of timidity
that he resisted them both."

distinctly stated which Judge Black
now treats as something new and makes
the basis of a .slanderous misrepresenta

denies that Mr. Buchanan ever enter

other than that of the fort with

ciiaracterize this revelation of so-called
secei0n secrets, merely noticing the
cunning excuse whieh is offered for the
denunciation, i. e.. that South Carolina
had previously seized "everything in
and about Charleston except one fort."
It will be remembered that the Govern
ment of South Carolina resting under
the assurance that both Federal and
State Government would not attempt
to make a change so as to disturb the
existing condition of affairs allowed the
unoccupied forts to remain as they were,
and forlnire to seize Fort Sumter when
it was without a garrison. She remon-

followed the seizure of the unoccupied

of status is one of tbe claims Judge
Black makes for service rendered to tne

proof cannot be needful that South Car
olina had no design to attack Fort Moul
trie or take other aggressive action.
Mr. Buchanan with the Keen peroep
tion of a patriot desiring to avoid civil
war, saw the danger which this move
ment portended and with the sensibility
of a man of honor shrank from the impu
tation of bad faith. Therefore he wrote
to the commissioners of South Carolina
on the 30th of December, 1860: "When
I learned that Maj. Anderson had left
Fort Moultrie and proceeded to Fort
Sumter, my first promptings were to
command him to return to his former
position and there to await contingencies
presented in his instructions." The
President then proceeded to notice the

possessed eminent domain is the growth
of recent davs. Even so late as 1836
Massachusetts declared that "The sov
ereignty and jurisdiction of the Common
wealth extends to all places within the
boundaries thereof, subject only to such
right of concurrent jurisdiction as have
been or may be granted over any places
ceded by the Commonwealth to the
United States." If the same rule of
rights holds good to the States equally,
then every reservation recognized and
accepted "in the cession of one State
must be regarded as binding in relation
to all cessions of like tenor. So far as
the United States might purchase land

Then' I submit, unless there was pro

Where does he find authority for thc
assertion that the application for pos
session of Fort Sumter was made "avow
edly with intent to use it for hostile
purposes against the Government to
which it belonged?' Where unless in
his own extravagant estimate of the
power of the fort and by ascribing to
South Carolina such hostile feelings as
he manifests when in the memorandum
he claims to have presented to the Pres
ident he exultingly refers to Maj. An
deisou having occupied Fort Sumter
with the assertion, "He still commands
the harbor. We may still execute the
laws if we try."

One day, bv special arrangement, the
Calvons and Lilias paid a visit to Ralph's
studio on the Lung Arno. Some of the
party lavished a good deal of ecstatic
admiration on hi3 paintings, which he
received for what they were worth; but

: silence-bound monks, unmindful of the
world s love stories, came out at unset
to draw water at thc old well, which to
them was nothing but a source of com
mon usefulness.
A few days afterwards, in the early
morning, the artists were left standing
on the platform, from whence a pile ol
luggage from the Hotel 1' Europe had
just been cleared, waving adieus to the
express train going north. Both were
sorrv for the departure of their mutual
friends ; both also had special cause in
their regret. Lilias would have liked
to have met Eustace Calvon again ; she
would have described him as "an old
friend nothing more f ami so when he
did not come she was not broken-hearted
but bore the disappointment very philo
sophicallv. Had they met that Summer
the old friendship might have rijeiied
into something stronger, but business
claims detained young Calvon for three
days longer than" the patience of his re
lations could endure, aud when he was
free it was in the Engardine not in
Florence that he joined them.
Mr. Alverton soon made thc discovery
that the old ladies the chief occupants
of the pension where Lilias was living
were most charming aud delighful peo
ple. And so it hapcued that at last
his evening visits became a scarcely les
- ,.,,.tna than the nm)eaincc of
the 8 o'clock tea tiay with its two large
teapots of watery tea. It was never a
dingy, never a poky place, that salon, t.i
Ralph, for tbe girl with the golden glory
nair oi tne angei was tueie, aim m
presence made it seem to him an earthly
paradise. And somehow, even though
the surrouniung- were a crown in oiu
maids in smart evening caps, bad tea,
and a cracked old piano, Lilias learned
better every evening what the wish was
thai Kalpb'had at heart ; and her own
wish faded out of memory. Eustace
was far away, and bad never been more
than "an old friend;" Ralph Alverton
was close, and made her understsnd
that he would not be content until he
reached a higher standing than mere
friendship.
Lilias surrendered. They settled it
in so many words one day at the far end
of the Cascine where Lilias had been
left to wait for a friend. The friend was
late in keeping her appointment, aud
Mr. Alverton happened to arrive instead
There, on a stone seat just beyond tht
monument to the India Prince, I.ilia.
promised everything required of her,
while some light fludy seeds from a tree
overhead fell, scattering at her feet, and
eddied lightly around north, smith,
east, west, like emblems of uncertainty,
but words were said which sealed two
fates, aad close beside them flowed the
yellow Arno, which soon should separate
them no longer.
Happy days were those which followed :
happier" dav wus that to whieh they
looked forward iu the following June.
But before that day which was to give
them to one another, came Eustace Dal
von to Florence. And with bim came
discord between the lovers, now it be
gan, how it continued, who wits most to
be blamed, none but themselves could
ever guess; but Eustace Calvon uu
somehow (unintentionally) the center
chord which caused the jar. Ralph grew
jealous, suspicious; showed heat and
hastiness. Lilias was proud, resentful
and turned cold as ice. The whole Oil
von party had returned to Florence, and
Ralph chose to disapprove of them all
He complained that Lilias lei herself be
monopolized by them, that Eustace
talked too much to her; that he would
not endure it; he would not stand it
Lilias conscious that no cause fur wrath
existed, and finding Eustace simply
friendly and civil, resented such Injus
tice, and affirmed, impatiently that "no
one should make her cast off old friends.''
Circumstances and misunderstandings
helped to widen the breach, until the
Climax was reached one day in high
words on the Ponte di Carraja, where,
without farew ell, they parted she across
the hridtre to ono side, he across the
bridge to the other side. 1 ttvided ! yos,
they had chosen ai vision.
A great crowd blocked the bridgeway
and lines on either side the river s em
bankments a black, silent crowd, w hich
all the day long hangs over the parapets,
watching thc water below.
"A boat upset two men drowned
tho bodies are being searched for." So
passes the news through Florence.
Lilias learned it on her way homeward
at midday. There passing along the
Lung' Arno she learns, too, the added
rumor, "One is an English artist."
"Let me take you home," says Eustace
Calvon, finding her with blanched lips
adrift in thc crowd. lie Jeaus ncr nir
ther up thc river Bide, and guides her
faltering steps across one of the higher
bridges, which is deserted. Neither
speak their fears in words, but before
many hours have passed all Florence
proclaims it for them : "Mr. Ralph Al
verton is the name of thc missing Eng
lishman." Eustace hastens to his room
only to find tbe report confirmed: "Mr.
Alverton went out with a friend iu an
open boat; it was thought they intend
ed to sketch on the country banks."
All day thc search is made ; all thc
day, from early morning to late night,
the blackness of on lookers is there.
Night comes, and still they hang over
the bridge's parapet a motionless, sad
dened mass, spell-bound to the snot.
But tbe pleasure and the business
continue; strangers come and go from
palace to church to see the sights; car
riages drive out to the Casino to listen

Lilias, standing mute, unmovable in

bridge two days before she had parted
with him she loves; recalls the proud
hard words which have been their last.
and tries very hard she tries to
realise that beeween them now runs the

whisper the word "Forgive:" she must
wait until she, too, shall reach "the
olher side."
