Telegraph Monopoly—A Dictator
for Southern Public Opinion
In A recent article, we itnted that our
City cotom pornrie* hiul pro!rated ajraimt
our receiving the benefit* of the A*so
cinted Press. We looked upon the set
as vneourteons and ungenerous, end un
worthy of journals holding the high
character which . they* do. We had
already been informed by the Agent
here that we had nothing to do but to
make application for the dispatches, ami
pay our share of the expense*, to en
sure oor receiving them. We knew that
former precedents justified his decision.
We knew, from enquiry, that the Eirn~
tay Dispatch and the True Democrat,
papers published in Augusta previous to
the war, had been allowed to receive the
dispatches, withont asking the consent
of the other journals, or the paymout of
any boasts to them. We knew that the
Chronicle <£• Sentinel, under N. S.
Morse, came into the arrangdment since
the close of the tear, withont any news
paper commeut, or the payment ol any
bonus, or the furnishing of any security j
and we were, therefore, taken all aback
at the conduct of our City cotempora
rics, and still more so at the decision
which has been rendered by D. 11. Craig,
the General Agent of the Associated
Press at New York.
Mr. Walsh, the Agent of that Asso
ciation at this point, called on us yes
terday, and showed us a letter which he
had received from Mr. Craig, in which
the latter states that we will be required
to pay the moderate little bonus of
SoCO to each of the daily papers tu
this City, ami give security that we will
take the dispatches for one yearl In n
letter to the Mobile Gatctle, a jour
nal recently commenced by Admiral
Semraes and others, and which is
placed in the same position as the
Daily Press, Mr. Craig exemplifies
his reasons for making this demand.
We append this letter that our readers
may judge of its merits for themselves :
[Copy.]
Omen of X. Y. Associated Press, ]
145 Broadway, up Stairs, v
Now York, September 4th, ISfifi. J
Wu M. Looxis,
Agent Ass’d Pres», Mobile:
J/jr Dear Sir .-—The inclosed letter will
ex plain itself:
The inclosed telegram from our Mr.
Hicks, shows that he made no agreement
with the Mobile Editors to justify thorn
in the action they have taken, and the
proper thing would hare been fer yon to
act on your judgment until you could hare
communicated with us. Vie do Dot intend
to lend ourselves to any scheme for build
ing up new journals, where they arc not
clearly t ranted by tbo public—but it soerns
to us, that in view of the unsettled and
disorganized condition of affairs at the
Sooth, it would not be quite Just to the
growing enterprise of tho Southern cities to
adopt a policy which would crush out new
papers, which may bo called for by the
public.
We feel and l-now that we hare recently
improved and cheapened reports to the
Southern Press, and we hope yet to do
mere, at least in improvement, and for the
present wo thick the use or control of our
reports should remain with us. Hy-and-bye,
when business hecomes more settled, we
shall be disposed to giro the local press the
cont-ol of the report*, but we do not think I
tbr.t time has yet arrived, and yet, wo i-er
tainiy will not lend ourselves to encourage
new papers which do not appear to be
needed. Asa test of the new publishers'
earnestness, X suggest that you offer them
the reports, provided they p»y a bonus to
the existing papers of Sd.ooo—give reason
able security for the same weekly sum now
paid by each of the present papers
tor the term of twelro months, and the in
created saui yon will thereby obtain froxn
tho Mobile Press will be duly cous dered
when we come to 5i with your Editors tho
proportion fairly chargeable to them for our
enormously increased expenses by reason
of tl.e laying of the Atlantic (.able.
Please show Ibis note to each of your
Editors, and express to them our earnest
desire to work with them in all thing., and
ato assure them that we shall never ask
tbe-n to assent to any businrss arrange
ment, except such as shall have been unan
imously approved of by tho members of our
own Association, and, therefore, it may
fairly be presumed will not bo far from juel.
Very truly, yours,
D. 11. On wo,
(Jon. Ag’t Aas’d Press.
Verify 13 “a Daniel come to judg
ment!” Mr. D. 11. Craig sell himself
up &a the arbiter of Southern public
opinion a* to whether anew paper is
needed or not! An agent o( a Yankee
institution undertakes to dictate whether
the people of the South shall have new
papers or not. We respectfully ask the
people of Augusta, are they going to
sustain him in this arrogant assumption ?
Surely they are capable of judging for
thoraselves whether they need anew
paper or not, and whether they shall or
shall not sustain it; and we submit the
question to them, not to Mr. D. H. Craig,
Genera! Agent of the Associated Press,
lor decision. We do not fear the result.
On this point we append the com
ments of tho Mobile Gazelle, which are
us applicable to our case as to its own,
and we ask particular attention to the
point which the gallant Admiral makes
in them :
WUt business 1< it of Mr. Craig how
many papers we eh',o#e to establishi bore f
Jte sells as news, and wo par fur it, and
that is all he hss 0. do with the question.
Only see, fellow-citizens, tho monstrosity of
this pretension, on ibo pari of the Asso
ciated i'ress, North, to decide how msr.y,
and what kind of newspapers we shall have
in the South. If it esn decide this ques
tion on ono ground, it can decide it on aay
other grouiM. Our politics, or our editor,
in ay be nniceeptabl. to Mr. Craig, and his
associate# of the New York Tr,lDrotd,
ete , some of which papers, wo believe, are
rent members of tbo Association- being
stockholders; and wo may be b< omsed out
of existence for this reason. Os course, In
such a case, tho true rea«»n would never be
given, hut it would always bo easy to sny,
that such and such a paper was not wauled
in such and snob a locality. Hie foot I-, the
more wo look lute this attain pled monopoly,
the more rotten and iniquitous it appears.
It is a wrong position to assume, our peo
ple will not sustain it, and we regret, on
little, that oar brethren of the press, be
tween whom and u# this question has arisen,
■heald have permitted themselves to stum
ble into such a mistake; should have
fallen unwarily into a snare, which, per
haps, has been adroitly laid for tbeui, by
their enemies at tho North.
This alFair is tin unpleasant
one to u», ami we greatly regret
the action wlitch our city cotern
porarie. have adopted. It »*ore of per
secution, and look* very much m though
our growing popularity anJ increasing
patronage til injuring them. We
have no desire to do them any injury.
The world la open to all. and the field of
competition is largo enough to afford
them and ua ample scope to exert a
spirit of energy aud euUirpriae.
If the pnt'lic prefer a lively and go
ahead journal, to dry, prosy, ami un
interesting ones, surely our cotemporn
riea have the capital and the ability to
meet that public want It they do not
ehooae to adopt this eonrae, and we do,
and we distance them in the face, the
fault is theire, not ours, and wo see no
reason why we should be required to
contribute to their falling fortunes by
the payment of bonuses to them. It is
preposterous! The whole question is
oue of production and consumption. The
Northern Associated Pres* produces n
supply of news at certain established
rates. We, as consumers, are willing to
pay those rates, and have a right to come
in under them for a share of their pro
ductions. The proposition is a plain one,
“as plain as the uose ou a man's face’ 1 —
so plain that “he that runs may read,”
and cannot be controverted. But to pay
a bonus to other consumers, and to give
security for luture payments—terms
which are not required of them—is, as
we have said, preposterous, and we can
not and will not submit to it. It would
be just ns reasonable to claim that a
new merchant, just starting business in
a community, should be required to pay
u bonus to his brother merchants belore
they would allow him to purchase goods
from the same house, and on the same
terms as they did 1 The one case is as
absurd as the other, and one cannot be
sustained by any reasonable argument
any more than the other.
We have drawn this article to a greater
length than the patience of our readers
will justify ; but it is a question in which
they, as well as we, ure interested. It
is a question whether the Southern
people are to submit to the dictation of
a Yankee agent, or whether they will
decide for themselves what papers are
needed lor the South. We are willing
to leave the question, ns wo have already
said, to them, and shall cheerfully abide
their decision.
In conclusion, we need only to say to
our readers that if they will just hear
patiently with us lor a few days, we
shall make arrangements that will sup
ply them with full telegraphic reports
from all quarters, without requiring us
to submit to an outrageous monopoly,or
to humiliating tests prescribed by T. H.
Craig for our admission into the benefits
of the Associated Press.
Awkward Slips of the Pen.—Gen
eral Taylor imortalized himself by per
petrating one of the grandest bulls on
record, in which he attained what a cer
tain temporary professor calls “a perfec
tion hardly to be surpassed.” In his
Presidential address he announced to
the American Congress that the United
States were at peace with all the world,
and continued to cherish relations of
amity towards the rest of mankind.
Much simpler was the blunder of an
English officer during the Indian r»gti
ny, who informed the public that, thanks
to the prompt measures of Col. Ed
wards, the Sepoys at Fort Machison
‘were nil armed and taken aback, and,
being called upon, laid down their
arms.” There was nothing very aston
ishing in an Irish paper stating that Ro
bespierre “left no children behind liiln,
except a brother who was killed at the
same time but it was startling to have
an English journal assure us that her
Majesty, Queen Victoria was “the last
person to wear another man’s crown.’
Addison lays it down as a maxim that
when a nation abounds in physicians it
grows thin of people. Filibuster Hen.
nipen seems to have agreed with the
essayist, or would hardly have informed
General Walker, in one of hia dispatch
es, that “Drs. Rico and Wolfe died of
the cholera, and Dr. Liudley sickened,
after which the ldfelth of the camp visi
bly improved.” Intentionally or not,
the stout-hearted soldier suggests that
the best way of getting rid of the cholera
is to make short work of the doctors.
Among the obituary notices in a weekly
paper, not many months ago, there ap
peared the name of a certain publican,
with the following culogium attached to
it: “He was greatly esteemed for his
strict probity and steady conduct
through life, he having been a subscri
ber to the Sunday Times from its first
number.” This is a worthy pendant to
Miss Ilawkiu’s story of the undertaker
writing to the Corporation of London,
“I arn desired to inform the Court of
Aldermen that Mr. Alderman Gill died
last night, by order of Mrs. Gill;” and
not far short, in point of absurdity, is
Madame Tussaud's announcement of
the exhibition of the effigy of the i:oto
rious Palmer, “who was executed at
Stafford, with two hundred other cele
brities.” The modem fashion of nam
ing florists’ (lowers must be held respon
sible for the very dubious paragraph we
extract front a gardening paper: “Mrs.
Legge will bo looked after; she may not
be ao certain ns some, but she was
nevertheless very fine in the early part
of tho season. Lady Tophatn is useful,
one of the old-fashioned build, not quite
round in the outline, but makes up well.”
Chambers Journal
PotgOKKD by Flouh. At Wonona,
HI., recently, some of the guests of the
Oilman House were poisoned. Investi
gations showed that the biscuits contain
ing the poison were made up partly of
common and J urtly o( prepared Hour ;
ami it is supposed that the mixing ol
tho soda or cream tartar in the common
(lour with the ingredients which had
been put into the prepared flour to make
it self-rising, produced a poison.
Misrepresentation.
When Baron Munchausen wrote his
wonderful adventure.", he did not de
ceive any one ; nor is any one
deceived by thorn now. They are
too improbable to deceive any one,
and were never intruded to deceive
anyone. But they have furnished the
vocabulary with a now word to signify
falsehood aud misrepresentation—Mun
chausenism. It is rather a long word,
but it is a long catalogue of etrors that
it can cover, and hence none too long.
When Mr. Arrowainith furnished the
London Times, over his own signature,
with a veracious account of his trip
through the Southern States, he may
have deceived some innocent people in
England, but lie did not deceive uny
one in America. 11 is statements were
100 much ou the order of Munchausen.
But the fact was and is apparent that
the world is becoming daily more gulli
ble, and though Baron Munchausen
deceives nobody, Arrow-smith docs.
Nay, Munehausens and Arrow-smiths
multiply, nud believers multiply with
them, so that their vocation becomes
profitable, if not respectable. Their
stories are no less improbable than those
of their distinguished predecessors ; hut,
in certain quarters, they nre swallowed
with as much avidity and evident gusto
as a child would a bon-bon, or a thirsty
man a mint julep or a glass of soda
water. Thus, we see these veracious
authors—correspondents of Northern
newspapers—sojourning in the South,
earning -their bread through Southern
patronage —writing to their journals
statements tho most false und impalpa
ble—and for wlmt? Why, that the ene
mies of the Union and the Constitution
liny have some ground to stand upon—
some cause to sustain the Radical party
and keep the South out of tho enjoyment
of her Constitutional rights. This is the
object, and tools nre not wanting to carry
it out, or friends to pay them, or tools to
believe them.
Tales of cruelties to freedmen, of op
pression and wrong, nre recorded with
as much particularity as if they had
really occurred. Some poor negro has
been beaten to death by a Rebel mob
for no cause; Union prisoners are found
iu caves near Southern cities, guarded
by Rebel soldiers; justice to freedmen
nnd Union men is denied in ihe Courts;
and so the catalogue goes on swelling
and increasing, while Radical Northern
hearts melt with pity at the terrible
recital of woe, Radical Northern eyes
overflow with sympathetic tears, and
Radical Northern indignation against
their wicked aud barbarous Southern
countrymen is aroused to its highest
pitch. We are unreconstructed, unre
pentant, unfit to come into the Union.
President Johnson talks in vain;
Southern journals protest in vain;
Northern conservatives defend us in
vain. The credulous spirit is rampant,
and falsehood is believed and encour
aged. Brownlow, and Maynard, and
Hamilton, and others of that stripe, nre
the political lights which shine for
Radical believers, and lead them on to
the destruction of Liberty and the
Union. The correspondents of the New
York World, the New York News,
or the Chicago Times, write in vain.
They are unread and unheeded. The
correspondents of the Cincinnati Ga
zelle, Pittsburg Chronicle, and Phila
delphia I‘rcss, are tho veracious chroni
clers who blazon the way lor the politi
cal leaders on the road to political and
national destruction.
It i.-t, im'aed, moat unfortunate, not
only for the South—for tho South will
not be thu only sufferer by it—but for
the whole country, that this spirit of
misrepresentation should be so rampant
and so triumphant. It is leading the
nation into a vortex of passion and a
whirlpool of revolution, from which it
v/ill be very difficult to extricate it-
The good sense of the people may avert
the threatened danger, and turn aside
shafts of error in time to save the coun
try. “Those who sow the storm may
reap the whirlwind.” “Out of the
nettle danger may he plucked the
flower safety.” But to work the results
misrepresentation must cease, or cred
ulity must cease. Falsehood must he
rebuked aud Truth be respected. This
must be the result ut some time or
another, for “Truth is mighty and will
prevail,” eventually, but if it is not
effected speedily, it may be too late for
this generation—too late for the peace
and prosperity of this Union. It should,
therefore, be the wish, us it is the duty
ot all patriots, North and South, to
crush out this spirit of misrepresenta
tion and credulity, and to strive to pro
mote harmony and good feeling be
tween the sections by giving that jus
tice to tho South which she so reason
ably and so rightly asks.
Ixtkhxal Revenue Decision.—Tlic
Commissioner of Internal Revenue hav
ing been asked ‘‘if carriage makers are
allowed, under the present law, to de
duct from their returns of sales, the
value of such articles entering into the
riiaiiulacture of carriages as may have
already paid the manufacturers’ tax,”
has replied as follows;
The new law exiMiiptsspokes,hubs,how
ami felloes, poles, shattsgirins mid wheels,
not ironed or finished; springs and wires
made of steel; a vies made of iron or
steel, rivets, nuts, washers, and bolts
used in the manufacture cf vehicles or
carriages, and also paints. Rut tho iron
ami steel from which many of these nr
ticles are made are subject to an impost
or excise duty, also the leather, eloth
and trimmings. And the finished car
riage is liable to a duty of five per cent.
ad valorem, without any deductions
whatever of articles or materials, taxed
or untuxed, which enter into the con
struction of the carriage. H any asses
sor has allowed deductions of any kind
from the value of the finished car
riage before assessing the tax, he has
done it on his own responsibility nnd
without the authority of law, and meas
ures will be taken immediately to cor
rect tho erroneous assessment.
