The Republicaus of Ohio led off j holding tneir Stak; Convention, convened just nt the time when tl agitation in regard fo negro suffrag was at its height, and when it wi generally supposed the radicals ht > sufficient s?fccugth to direct the actic ' of the party** in many of the State But the returned veteraus obiaint control of that gathering,, ana kc tlie radicals in the background. Tin seeureli their own platform and non nated one of their own leaders f Governor. Tho Jacobins then elia to the nominee-Gen. Cox-declarh that ho was sound on their creed, ai was all the platform they desired. B he soon came out and r?pudi?t them, and in a clear analogically pi p;u*ea letter proved that their di trines were untenable and their d< mas a mere bundle of heresies. Vi mont was the next State to hold convention, and there the doctrines the Chase faction were passed pver isileuce. That bistate has always bc considered one of the mos? radical the Union, and was never known give the Democrats sufficient show furnish1 evidence that there" were a such beings.in the State. The pol of Mr. Johnson was thoroughly dorsed, and the people cf the St pledged toits support in ite'executii* The Republicans of New Jessey AV the next to hold their State Cona? tion,- and there, after extmorilwt efforts, resolutions were iutrodtv containing a long rigmarole abnut equality of the red men/ black n and white inen, deckring that blacks of the' South were entitled, vote. But ho person but tho mo of these resolutions took the trot ?i to advocate them. . Tho' r*mlt that they were unceremoniously k ed under the'table, not receiving many votes as there were resoluth while, on tlie other hand, the cohn tiotiwas almost a unit in endorsing the most emphatic manner, Ute co of the President. The failure in these three Stav* not very encouraging to the' C. party^and indications were &% ?where manifest of their backing d in the principal central States. Rt this stage, a black star appoare the Eastern horizon. The Rep cans in the State of Maine ciin the relief of the Jacobin* and en? dorsed the social equality Qi races and negro suffrage, but were compelled to sugar-coat it over with- thc pretence of endorsing the policy of the President. This action has furnished the radicals ray of hope, but Trill hardly amount to anything practically. The Repub? licans of Pennsylvania hold their con? vention at Harrisburg this w?ek. Th? politicians of the peaty are deeply interested in tho straggle between Gov. Curtin and ex-Secretary Came? ron for the Senatorship, which will, no doubt, override all other questions. There is, however, but little indica? tion that the ?adieal doctrines will fare any better there than they dTd in Ohio and New Jersey? which border on that State: The endorsement of the pacification policy of the President may be con? sidered ii* Uextain. This universal course Cf the Northam- conventions, find the general disposition of the j dominant par*?.- here not to foi :e upon j the Southern States a class of voters not admitted to the privilege of the. franchise ut homc,~wi!l strengthen tho j Southern people and encourage them' to work more earnestly for the-success ! of the adjusintent'prpgx?uutte of Mr. j Johnson.

Thc Atlantic Cabk--1* it ii PaDiivo! in a despatch from St. John's, New foundlaud, we are furnished with far? ther very interesting details deserip tive of tho parting of Mm Atlantic telegraph cable, and the subsequent ellon s to recover it. The breaking ' occurred about ha>f-past I'l o'eloe^ii the afternoon of thc-J. irs*., at a poin wkltre the water was bydOO yards deep alter Over 1.2o'J miles of the cable hui been payed out, in consequence of it; becoming injured by dialing on tin stern ol tho ship while rchauling : portion of it on board the Great East ern to^renipve another defect in th insulation which hud been discovered After losing it, ii was grappled thre? tunes, being on one oi the occasion 'brought to within 1>:1U0 yunis i?f th water's surface; but 'tin- weight iva too much for the grappling rope which each time brolle and droppei the cat*k-. The last attempt to rais it was made on the 1 iib inst., when not ineetin;' with sueeess. a buoy wu placed over liie :>pofr where it wat, losl and the Great J in ter n sailed for Ku^ land, and ber consorte, the Terribl and Galatea, for St. John's?, where til latter vessels arrived on h st Tuesda even-rag, as heretofore anne' '.need. The'foll?)wing practical concluMion have been arrived at by those engage in varions capacities in the expeditioi 1. That the steamship Great Eas ern, from her size and sea-going qual ties, can' carry and hiv an At tanti telegraph cable safely in any wmthei 2. Tuat the payuig-ont machiner; constructed for tue purpose by Messr Canning & Clifford,, works perfectly and can be confidently relied on. Tin the, insulation of the gutta percha coi ductor improved by reason of tho n duction oi the temperature and tl great "pressure ?it the bottom of ti ocean, and was more than double wk it had been before starting, prpvil itself to fcc the best insulated fkrab ever manufactured, and many tim I higher than the standard required 1 the contract. The cause of the tv faults which were picked up was each case a perforation of the gut porcha through to the. copper by 1 piece of iron wire found -sticking . I tho cable. Electrically, the third i&ult I was analagods to the first. The diffl I cnlty can DO guitrded against in the Lconstrnotion of fixture cables. " 4. That nothing has occurred to create the least doubt, in the minds of practical naen engaged in the expedi? tion, of the successful laying and work? ing of the Atlantic telegraph eable, but, i ri the ebiitrary, their confidence in the undertaking has been largely increased* by thc esperience thus ob? tained. 5. That with the G.ea^ Eastern steamship, and with stronger tackle, and with improved picking up ma? chinery, there is a possibility of reco? vering* the lost end of the cable ?ad. completing the hue already two-thirds laid.
