By their plan every whaleboat is provided with a galvanic battery. Wires from opposite poles ran down to the points of each set of harpoons. When tho whale is sufficiently near, two h ai poona are thrown as nearly simultane? ously as possible, and when imbedded the flesh of tb* monster completes the circuit. The aw. oharge is expected io be sufficiently powerful r "to paralyze the animal, so that the small boat may advance and dispatch bim at leisure. -Bowed legs and knocking knees are among the commonest deformites of humanity; and wise mothers assert that the crookedness in either case arises from the afflicted ooo having been pot opon his or her feet too early in baby? hood. But a Manchester physician? Dr.. Crompton, who has watched for the trae cause, thinks differently. He attributes tbe first mentioned distortion to a habit some - youngsters delight io of robbing the sole of: one foot against that of the other; some will go to aleep with tbe Boles pressed together. They appear to enjoy the contact only when the feet are naked; they don't attempt to make it when they are socked or slippered. So the remedy is obvious-keep ' tho baby's s?ies cov? ered. Knocking knees the doctor ascribes to a different childish habit,-that of sleeping on the side with one leg tucked into the hollow bebind the other. Be bas found tb it where one leg bas boen bowed inwards more than the other, the patient has always slept on one eifrc?and the uppermost member bas been the most deformed. Here the preventive is to pad the inside of the knees so as t o keep them apart and let the limbs grow freely their own way. -The Paris correspondent of the New York Times, in alluding to the enthusiasm manifest? ed at the recent reception given the Frencb Emperor on the Boulevards, says: "Imost again repeat what I stated in one of my tor? rear letters, tbat a great deal of tte CD thu siasm manifested on tbat ocousion was manu? factured. Along tho lire of the boulevards were stationed at intervals groups of police in plain clothes, who did nearly all the cheering, and otherwise tried to impart a stimulus to the crowd. I do not know whether you aro aware of the feet that tbe government has in ito pay a body of twelve hundred men, who precede or accompanv the imperial family on all its expeditious. They receive about two dollars per day besides their travelling ex? penses, and they continually change their dis? guises so as to avoid observation. Their busi? ness is to prepare for the reception of tbeir Majesties, to get upsn enthusiasm when the population is discontented or indifferent, to watch for the first evidence of plots against the life of the Emperor, and to surround his person when they have reasons to apprehend that an attempt is about to be made again; t it. This fcrce is quite distinct trom what is called the secret police, and has a separate organ?aa )joii acd chiefs of its owTj." . i TEE EDGEFIELD NEGRO MILITIA. "GRAND MILITARY ENTREE OF HUBBARD AND EICHELBERGER. TEST BRI* G TWO HUNDRED AND JUETT WI\CHESTS* RIK'LES. An Interview with G over cor Scott. As confirmatory of, and additional to, the partionars published by ai a!rea*>- concern? ing the unnecessary and grossly unjust ont r?pe nerpetrated upon th? quietend law-abid? ing people or Edgefield. un . er ?iio patronage of theeentetnpUole Eichelberger and the in famone Hubbard, wo pnnt the following from the Edgefield Advertiser: A Little more whisker ano* cajolery for the ignorant and mtsguded blacks, and a little m ore'Rn provoked provocation for thc astonish? ed and insulted wmtee, and the qaiet village of Edgefield wonld, last-week, have been the scene cf fearful and sanguinary transactions. EdsraSeld reconstructed. ( ?s is all Som h Caro? lina) in the most approved Radical style, is now?. victim to the nate, the venom the de prffuity of a set of men who care not for tbe .prosperity and happiness of herself aud her. cu liar en," but whose eo?r objecte are place, plunder and revenue. The treachery, the lying, the contemptible -meanness, the entire: absence of everything unanly or honorable,/ that characteriz e tho.proceedings of this set Otatin, almost hurpasa belief. B. E.Scott, the' ali .-u Governor of.tLiaState, ts either the dupe and tool or (ae we artimoreinoliheu to think). the willing helper and coadjutor of these men. .For the last month, fear or ti vu deputy State constables have becneojonrnin^ m our midst, said to have been sent here by Governor Scott, upon the wilful and .oalicious representation of the renegade Eichelberger, os a kind of bod\ ?uard for the latter, .Eichelbergjr baviue de? serted bis own race,-n nd his own race having openly and very appropriately signified their inexpressible contempt for him is a prey to miauled feelings of -iear and revet ge. Bm that any one wishes to take his life, or hae -threatened to do se, is all nonsense. He was bumed in effigy some time ago. and sinco tben be has been treated With silent coi tempu . Acut there the matter ?ends. He has not been in the slightest d>-groe.molested sod his body? guard are enjoying a comfortable sinecure, fur. which oar overburdened peool roast pay. --?Ind tor the last f mr?Saturdays oar town hoe been thronged' with negroes, min, women, children, idle, gaping, evidently expecting the occur ren e of something unwonted. Danna: this time we have beard thai a negro company: era?being ranecFby Eurheibtrger Indeed we' know that many negroes signed their names. ; or sande their marks, ascneinbers ot this oom. j pa ny. Oo the 4th nf July, mach of he day I was WE pent in dnliine Ga ZhoTBday afternoon last, to the niter as? tonishment of the peseaable and law abiding ettiseus of oar town, two hundred and for y guns,-with ammunition according, escorted by Eichelberger, Hubbard, and sime fony or flt o negroee, arrived in EdgeUeJd. These negroes bad been previously warned lo meet these ams atrthe Pine House Depot. And many of them, deliberately and wu hen t a word of warn* bur. quitted the service ol honest white men and repaired tb Irturd tho anne which are to enforce reepect if am the poop c of Edgefield towards Jiicnelborger and his minions Nor is that the wotnt. After they had gaarded the arms into ina town, they- quietly rc turo rd io the service they had to deuharately quitted Pretty business truly ; sod yat the whites said nothing, and stood it as best they .could. Stood it with calm ?ignuy, jost as they have stood ?the many incendiary harangues and yelling mobs that haye to often-and lately too-dis? graced our stree?, oar puk, our courthouse. 'i bo arms bavin* been escorted in tiiumph to the public square, one of the State oousta bles, Ballinger hy Mund, said to be commis? sioned by Scott es captain ot Eichelbergers company, presented to the sheriff ao order 'from the Governor fdr a portion or the jail as a depository for the gnus. This order was complied with. A nd now. day and night, tue jai! is gaarded by negro soldiers with arma in their bands. Fifteen or twenty delu? ded f ?ls have teen seduced into this wretch? ed business. They are ia regalar military service, receiving lawful? pay and rations. God help them when they ?ha11 be oat of mili? tary service, for io these regious they will not find-c or should they ?-either friends or ser? vice. The $16 a month which the white peo? ple are paying them now, for gnaroicg the arms which are to eat their throats, ie quite enough. .When we oro done paying these doughty negroes for their military service, we should certainly wash our hands of them. Let them lire upon their military glory. Perhaps Eichelberger will tase them all ont to his home and support them forever. Wo have no doubt he will. As regards the militia company of ono hun? dred-ali negroes-they have oot yet actual? ly appeared upon the field. We understand, however, that they are to be diligently drilled ?ur log the latter three days of the i resent week. . And thus matters stand in Edgefield; and, without a doubt, all these proceedings are high-handed and unjustifiable outrages upon an unoffending i eopie. The Governor derives bis authority for calling ont tho militia bv vir? tue of a 'joint resolution authorizing tho Gov? ernor tc employ an armed force for ibo pre? servation of the peace;" and be is therein authorized to call ou: the militia ('wbon in any county io this State It s'iail become impos? sible, from any cause, to enforce the laws and keep the peace by the ordinary civil process," whose duty it shall be to "quell each disturb? ances and arrest the guilty parties." Now, wher. has the sheriff of this district failed to enforce the laws? Never. We de ty Governor Scott. Eichelberger, Hubbard or any of the crew, to show one instance of tbe sheriff having failed to make arrests where warrants were lodged in his hands. The nhite p?op.'e and the black people bf ibis commu? nity and tb is district Uve, and have h ved, in pence and harmony; and we challenge these fomentera of discoid to produce evidence to sbow that a single murder bas been commit? ted in Edgeheld Di?tnct within the last three years on account of political views. Bah i the upshot of the whole abominable matter is, (bat this mischievous and merce? nary man, Eichelberger, wants tho sheriff's office, and has beon at work with that view. He and others of the mongrel can novo told Mr. McDavitr, the sheriff he must appoint a negro jailer, -which Mr. MtDantt mused, and still refuses to flo. And now we hear that young Covar, the jailer, is a notorious bush? whacker,-Ac., and Governor Scott joins his or? der to that of Eichelberger ft Co. that he be dismissed. So young <'ovar eoes bv the b tard. He is not, and never has boen, a bushwhacker; those who tell this lie know it to be a he. . This nesro guard around our jad. au ^ this contemplated negro militia, Will do no good m Edgefield. They are emphatically uncalled for and unnecessary. Already tbe feeling of bitterness and exasperation is greater than at any time since tbe close of the n ar. The Advertiser invokes Governor Scott to visit Edgefield and examine for himself. If, under the exciting and unjustifiable circum? stances with which he bas permitted this unoffending people to be threatened be fails to respond io this Frank and freo invitation to judge of the facts io the case, he will have proclaimed himself wanting in every elemont of courage and honesty which should charac torize the man who presumes to write himself as the Governor of a Sta te. THE INTERVIEW WITH QOVZEHOB SCOTT. Two of the distinguished citizens of Edge field, ex- Governor Bonham and General But? ler, visited Governor Scott, at Columbia, to repiesent to him bow totally unnecessary wero the arms, the soldiers and the constables late? ly imposed rjpon tho people of that county. They have returned. Of the interview, the Edgefield Advertiser remarks : Governor Scott received them with courtesy and heard them with c nsideration. He a enred them that he bad not authorized the or ganiz ition of any militia company in our town or district. That he had merely sanctioned tbe employment of a sufficient gourd for the Arms and ammunition, and ?hat he had Bent saldarme and ammunition here as a measure ot precaution, representations being constantly made to him of most lawless domes io d ffereBt parts of the district. Bosh! His Excellency, if he chose, coud very easily indeed hod out that all these representations are. from begin? ning to end groundless and malignant hes. The guns are here, and. authorized or unau? thorized, there seems to be a stiong orobabili ty that negroes will be regularly drilled. SCRAMBLERS. [From the Satorday 3?eview ] lhere axe people who are never what North? ern h ouse wi vea call "Btraigbt"-people whu seeia ? o have been horn in a Bcramble. who live in a scramble, and who. when their time conies, will die in a scramble, just able to scrawl their Signatare to a will that oaght to have been made years ago. and that does not embody their real infceotions no.. Emphatically the Unready, they are never prepared fer anything, whether expected or unexpected; they make ne plane more stable than good intentions; and they neither calculate nor foresee. Evervtbing wrtn themis hurry and confusion, not because they have more to do than other people, bat because they do it more loosely and ICSB .me? thodically-because they have not learnt the art of dovetailing or the mystery of packing. Consequently half their pleas? ures and more than hali their duties slip through their fingers tax want of the knack of compact holdinc; and their lives are pssfed in trving to pick up what they have let drop, and in frantic endeavors. to remedy their mistakse. For scranrbleis are always makhig mistakes, and going through ao endless round of forgetting. For ooo thing, they never remember heir engagement, but accept in the blandest andfrankest way ima? ginable two or more invitations for'the same ?day and boor, and assure yon quito seriously ' when, taucht -y experienee, you .push them Jhard and probe them dean, ?that they have no engagement what ver on hand, ead are cer? tain not to fail you. lu an evil hour yon trust to them. Wheu tho dav ?ornes they suddenly vake to the fact that they had accepted Mrs. So-and-so's invitation hefore yosrs: and ali: von get for your empt.v piece aud careful ar? rangements ruthlessly upset, is a harried, note of apology, wbich comes, perhaps, in th3 middle ot dinner, perhaps some time next day. when too 1 te to be of use. If they forget tneir own engagements they also ignore vours, no matter how distinctly you may have tabulated them; and are sure to rome rattling to your noose ou the day wheo you said em? phatically you weree. gaged and could not see them. If 'Ou keep to your.programme, and refuso to admit them, mue likely than not yon affront them. Encasements being m their eyes movable leasts, which it does not iu the least signify whether they keep ou t hf- date set down or not, thev canuot nndirst.ind ?our noddy of purpose; sud were it not that as a tribe tbey are good natured and too fluid to hold evon annoyance for any length of time, you would in all probability have a quarrel fas? tened on von, beoauseyour ?crambliog friends chose to make? calendar for .themselves, and to insist on your setting y<?r diary by it. And as they ignore your appointed hours, so do thev forget your street and number. 1'bey always stick to yonr Drat card, though yon may have moved many times since ? it was printed du.y apprising them oj each change as it occurred. That does not ,help yon, foi they never nate the changes ot thou friends' addresses, but keep loyally to .tbe first. It all comes to tbe same in the end, they sav, and the postman is cleverer thin they. But they do not often fa on ble their friends with letters on their own account, sud they have a specialty for not answering aucb I as are written to them, and, wheu they do answer them, of not replying to the question* I ?eked or diving the news demanded. They do I not .even reply to invitai iona like other people. Dat leave you to m rei- from their silence the yes or no tbey are meditating. When they, in their turu invite you., they generally puzz e you by mismatching the day of the week with the date of the month, leaving you tormented with doubt wbioli you are to go by; and they lorget to give you tho hour. . Besides ibis, they write au illegible sprawling hand and they are famous for the blots they make and the Queen's beads they om t. A scrambling wife is no ligbt cross to a man who values or er and regularity as part of his home life. She may be, and probably is, the best-tempered creature in the world- a peevish scrambler wonld be too unendurable-but a freso face, bright eyes, and a merry laugh do not atone for uever-endirg disorder and dis? comfort. Thia kind of thing does not depend on income, and is not to be remedied by nebea. Thc households where my lady has nothing to do bat let ber maid keep her to the hours she herself has appointed are just aa uncomforta? ble in their way as poorer establishments, if my lady is a scrambler, and cannot ba tanght method and the value of holding ou by the ior-loek. Sometimes my lady gets herself into such an inextricable coil of promises and en? gagements, all crossing each other, that in despair Bbc takes to ber bed and gives herself out as ill, and BO cuts what she canuot untie. People wouder at her sudden indisposition, looking as she did ooly yesterday in the verv blojm of health; aud tbe wonder at her radiant reappearance without a trace of even languor upon her; they do'not know that her retirement was simply a veraion of the famous rope trick, and that, like the Brothers Davenport, she went into the dark to shake herself free of tbe cords with which she bad Buffered herself to be bound. It ie a short and easy method certainly, but it has rather too much of tho echo of "wolf in it to bear fre? quent repetition. lu houses of a lower grade, where the lady is her own housekeeper, the ?habit of scrambling, of coarse, leads to far greater and more manifest confusion. The serv in:s catch from the mistress the trick of overstaying time, and punctuality at last comes to mean an clastic margin, where fixed doti s and their appointed times appear comet?a illy at irregular intervals. Tho cook is lato with dinner; the coachman begins to put-to a little after the hour ho was ordered to be at the door; but they snow that, however late they are, tbe chances ore ten to one their mistress will not be ready lor them, asd that in hor heart she nill be gr.itetul to them for the shelter their own unpunctuality affoi ds her. This be? ing so, they take their tims, and dawdle ac their pleasure; thus adding to tbe pressure whicb always comos at the end of the scram? bler^ day. when everything is throwo into a cbaotic mass, and norhiug comos out straight or complete. Did any one ever know a scram? bling w mian ready at the moment in her own house ? That she shou-d be punctual to any ippointment out of her house is of cour.-e. not to bo thought of; but she makes an awkward thing of it sometimos at home. Ber guests ore often ?ll assembled, and the dinner hour hos struck, before she bas toro off oue gown and dragged on another. What she canuot lie she pins, and her pms aro many and demon? strative. She wisps OD her hair, not having left herself time io braid it; and the conse? quence is that before sbe has been half an hour in tbe room onds and tails are snre to atrav play? fully from their fastenings, and come tumbling about her ears. H r jewels aie mismatched, her colora ill-assorted, ber belt is awry, her bou? quet lolling to nieces, -be rushes into the draw? ing-room in her morning slippers smiling aud good-tempered, with a patchwork look about J ber-something forgotten in her attire that makes her whole appearance shaky and unfin? ished-ftstening her last button, ot clasping on her first bracelet. She it full of i egrets aud excuses delivered in her lovons, buoyant manner, or in a voice so winning an accent so coaxing that you cannot be annoyed. Besides, you leave the annoyance to ber husband, who is sure to have in reserve a pickle quite sufii ciontly strong tor the inevitable rod, as the poor scrambler kiowa too well, all you can dois to accept ber apolo.ies with a good grace and to carry awav wi'h you a viv d re? collection of an awkward half Lour, a spoilt dinner and a scrambling hostess all abroad and out of time, sweeping through the room v?ry heated very good-lempered only half dressed and chronically out of breath. Scramblers eau never learn the value of mo? ney, either for themselves or for others. They are famous for borro<*iug small sums which they forget to rei urn; bnt to do them justice. I they are just aa willing to lead what they never dream of askiog for again. Long ago thw caught hold of the fact that money is only a circulating mediuas, and tbey have added an extra speed to tbs sareulation at which slower folks stand aghast. To be BU re. the practical results, of their theory are not very satisfactory, and (he confusion between the possessive pro? nouns which distinguishes their financial cate? chism is apt to lead to unpleasant issues. Scrambling women are especially notorious for the way in whiou tber set themselves afloat without sufficient means to carry them on; finding themselves s1 randed in mid-career because they have made no calculations, and have forgotten the rule of substracci?n. Tbey find themse ves at a small Italian town, sav, where the virtues of the Brit- ! tah banking system are unknown, and wbero their letrera of credit and circular notes are not worth more than the value of the paper they are written on. More than one British matron ot respectable condition and weak arithmetic bas fo-ind herself in such a plight as this with ber black-eyed landlord perfectly civil aud well-bred but as firm as a rock in his resolution that the Signora shall not depart ont of bis custody tri! his little ac? count ie paid-a plight out of which she hos to scramble the best nay shu can with perhaps or a little dignity and of more at least in the locality where her soli gavo out and her precious paper coule cashed. This ia the samo woman wht aa omnibus conductor a sovereign for i penny fare; who gives the village groce ix)uml note for a shilling's worth of und who, when sae cortes up to Londt day's shopping and bas got her last made up and ready to be put into, ber ca she bas rot left, herself half enough mi pay for it-with a shopman whose faitl man nature is bv BO means lively wt-Pj onlv last week was bitten lady swindler of undeniable manne appearance, nd not very unlike ) She has been known, too, to go into feet lonerV, and alter having made an es luncheon, find to her dismay that she 1 her parse in the pocket ot her -other d home, and that -?he bas not a-six pen ci her. la fact there is not an equivo -al p in which forgetfs.lue.3B, want ox metbot of foresight, and all the other characti which make np scrambling in the einen ! place her, in which she has'not boen a I tune or otber.

THE CHINESE LABQM QC bl IO. A Pa aettcal Vie w-Absordlty of the T about fc.xeludiiig the Chinamen. j A correspondent of the New York Eve; i Post addresses the following communies to the editors of that paper: As it is evident tbat the question of imp mg Chinese laborers m ist Boon come to a p neal issue, especially as it regards tbe cuit lion cf cotton, I deaire to present ooo sid tbe question wbich bas not yet been state With the moral aspect of the question : ilOt purpose to meddle, contenting my with this, that if we cannot absorb tho M ol lianas well as tho Celt, the Teuton and oesro, and permit oach and all to have et rights aol privileges, then democracy i tatlnre. What I have to say is upon the cconoi question. The immigration of Chinese lil ers has thus fax been treated as if they m of necessity be imported as "coolies" un conti acts for long terms of service, st rates of wages, and nuder such compnls conditions as to mike them practically se: almost slaves. Such importation is 'riga prohibited by law, and Southerners who peet to re-establish a /creed system of labor any such methods wilt bo grievously dis pointed. But very large numbers of Chim laborers-as Ibo hove nearly tho whole fo wbich built tbe Central Pacific Railroad-w brought over os freo laborers, under contra approved by a United States Consul, a uhich did not infringe the law prohibiting i codie trade. The svstcra was established by a gontlem now in San Francisco, wbo explained rt to I himself. 1 give it from memory at tbe risk some errors. He went to Hong Kong, a tbere found a Chinese merchant of gr< wealth wno was willing to attempt to indu the voluntary migration of laborers and to I come responsible for tbe fulfilment of contra? made by them; and if my tu em orv serves i he sent ont over twenty thousand men. ] (the merchant) agreed with otber dur. mon that each should furnish ono thousaii These men again agreed" wita others to fur ni: fifty each, and tho contractors for fil went ont to find tho men. The bargain w to advance fourteen dollars-tbo coot of pa BBge-and a deposit with the Chin?se compat of San Francisco to secure the return or bi d;es in ca?o or death. Inc contract made 1 the laborer, and accredited bet?re a Uiiiti States CoiMul, was to work out this advam at a certain rate of wages, ?nd thereafter t bo free to make a new bargain or to go whe: he pleased. I was ussured by thegentletUd who mado these arrangements that each lab rer gave hi i note for such amount, with h ut ?gb bord as surety ; these notes were ei dorsed hy the contractors tor fifty to tho coi tractors for one thousand, by them to tb mere iant in Hong Kong, and he executed m r gage on r al estate for (her fulfilment, was also assure :! that it bud not been nccessar to fall back upon the security, but that tb agreements had been faithfully met. the gentleman who mado ibis statement t me returned to San Francise J a tew wt/ek since to enter into the business of furnisniu otber laborers upon same terme. It such con tracts can be made with nr-n sufficiently edu? cated and trained to make them aud abide b tbem. they cannot fail to bc ecnnomicaily valu able as laborers. lu fact, nothing but arbitrary legislation, ab solutelv prohibiting the immigration ot Chi nose labor, can possibly prevent it. Take onlj the State of Arkansas, covering over Lftj tho sand squire miles, ono half of wnich it cotton land of the best quality, mostly rivei bottom. Tue Chinaman ie fitted in every re< spect to eett'e the region, of which onlv abou? one Acre lu a hundred has ever vet been culti? vated in cotton. The ,'rop easily made is a bale to the acre, ai d cigbt to ten baloa to thc hand, besidos food. Tho value of ten oalcs is n iw over $1200 in currency. The labor is not hard, but persistent. Hore arc tho conditions of demand for labor, and 81X11 da> s' i ime, with abc ut $100 in moDev, will bring an unlimited supply. If sue i con? tracts can be mado as were laid before me by my informant, such demand and such supply cannot fail to mt>et. The Pacific Mail Com? pany can move about twelve thousand per month. One hundred thousand such laborers would add eigbt hundred thousand to one million bales to our annual crop of cotton, and would place under cultivation, m arkansas, we will say, ouly two or threo acres more out of each huudrcd in addition to the little patch now under cultivation. There ia a plan now maturing in St. Louis for building a short line or railroad from Cape Girardeau to Helena, the distance being. I b . heve, about two hundred miles, and continu? ing the li ou Mountain road southward. Tbe. embankment for this road to form a levee, ex? cluding the Mississippi River from five million acres of the richest bottom lai d ot which over s million ac es have b.en suba?nbed to? ward the construction of the road, if th e road should be built, and th is little patch put into cotton by Cninamsn, the crop therefrom nigh; be four to five million bales of cotton from land non almost uncultivated and worth? less.

E, A. J OCEAN TELEOJtAJfJia. Tbe Atlantic Cable Competition. [From the London Star, Joly H.] The success of the French Atlantic cable will occasion great rogrot to the propriet ?rs of the English line, bat if their intorests are mach injured they h .ve no one but themselves to blame. They had no confidence in what was really the strongest part of their enterprise namely, its capacity to serve the general pub? lic and not merely oue particular class. Mes? sages to sod from America ons ht to be as com? mon as similar messages are between England and France, for a constant stream of travellers is passing between the two countries, and a large proportion wotrd be very glad to tele? graph their safe arrival to hie .de. Then. Americans who lfre here, or in other parts of Europe, would olson be glad to ask by tele? graph after relatives who happen to be ill, or io send news of their daughter's marriages rr of equally interesting incidents in domestic life. Bat this kind of business has been de? liberately discouraged by the managers of the English line. A minister may send an important message to his agents, though even then the amount ot h IB bill is likely to startle his government, as we may see in tbe case of Mr. 3eward. fie sent a message to the American representative in Sussia, fjr which between ?4000 aud J?OW was charged. The government bas not yet been able to make up its mind to pay for that cos'ly dispatch. A.am commercial men who have Amer icm connections are obliged to nse tbe cable. If the tariff were much higher even than it is. thev woola still have no choice but to pay the money and send their messages. The dim wbicb first learns the price of cotton, et iron, or of shares and bonds, has an im? mense advantage over competitors who are ?cling without this information. Such traffic, therefore, nee ssarily develops itself. BUL i; os not huge enough to pay for the expenses or laying a cable beneath the Atlantic. The im? mense advantage which might have been sain? ed by inviting the general body of the public to use the cable has been thrown away. The directors acted in a timid spirit, as if their line weald inevitably break down next week, and it was necessary for them to scrape to gether all the money they could io the in? terval. The -com poi it ion of tbe French cable will ex? pand their ideas. In the first place, they w?l fiad their French customers going to the other s.ion,uulets they reduce their prices ; in the next, the French company might easily at ir., ct a large share ot tbe English business by adopt? ing a reasonable scale. At tbe recent meeting of the English company oaf of the officials de I>lored the fact that they had not enjoyed a ouger lease of the monopoly before rivals en? tered the field, that ls all very well from their point of view, but tbe public cannot be expect? ed to sympathize with it. If anybody deserves sympathy in reference to Atlantic cable schemes lt is the shareholder or director m the erigin al comp my, who has not yet reca? ved back a penny of his money. They were the people who paid for the experiment which made future successes certain, and they have derived no profit whatever trom the seoond cible. It is a plain matter of business with the present proprietors, and aa they have acted ip a narrow and niggardly spirit towards tbe public, they cannot expect us to mix our teais with th ein?. A great fuss bas recently been made about a redaction m the tariff. Messages were to bo sent for two pounds. But when a man came to write down his message, he found that be was expected to hay for every word or Aguie m the dates or addresses; whereas five words had formerly bees given m. The address alone now exhausts tbe two pounds thus: 'Thomp? son to Barker, 112 Twenty-sixth street, New York." Here ate the teu word*, at once, which form tho lim t of a massage for two pounds. Of course the rate is al moy t prohibitory as re? gards the oidinary run of people. A man with a si inder purse cannot send word to his wife in America tbat their child at school in England is very ill. Messages of that description would ba dispatched by hundreds every day. if the scale or charges invited them. At present there is scarcely work enough to employ one out of the two English cables now in existence. Would it not be far better to-eharge ten shil? lings for cable messages, and multiply tho cus? tomers a hundredfold, than to let the wires lie comparatively idle? Remonstrances, however, having failed, we are very glad that the sharp goad of competition has bern applied to the di? rectors. The French proprietors moy easily do the creator part of tho business it* they will come down to tin public need?. OJ Catt ac? count we may well wish the new lino success. We may not bear so mach about its binding the Old World and the New together in per? petual friendship, for wo have found out that misunderstandings are possible even with a telegraph wire lying comfortably beneath the Atlantic. But the cible will be a distinct ad? vantage to the world, and everybody but the shareholders in the ?.Anglo-Americn" will bo glad to hear that tbe difficulties which sur? rounded tho promoters have been successfully overcome.
