inc successrul amendment OF Mr.. Badger,
providing tina. the repeal of the Missouri
compromise should not to be taken to e-estab-
lish the law of Louisiana affirming or estab-
fishing the existence of slavery there existing
prior to 1920 or to prohibit it, DO, is substan-
tally carrying out the principles embraced in
the views of Mr.. Dean and Mr.. English as ex.
planned in their respective amendments rro-
posed to the bill. We understand that this
action in the Senate on the bill, removes the
objections to it entertained by more or loss
Northern Representatives.
The Hards-We took occasion a aav. or
two since to ailude to the fact that the New
York Herald. in its eagerness to defeat the
Nebraska bill, was endeavoring to create the
impression that the New York Hards, while
protesting devotion to the rights of the States
under the Constitution, arc eager to prove
themselves to be all the Softs have alleged
| against them, in their probable action on lie
measure in question. We ind the New York
Natioral Desoerat Of the day before yester
day, quite indignant against US for hardening
to such an aspersion on their integrity of pur
pose for an instant. That journal scouts the
idea that the Herald has the right to place
| them in any such shameless attitude. we are
glad to have it in our power to write: saving
that no paper which speaks the sentiments Of
the Democracy of New York has expressed anv
doubt on this subject" That is, of how thew
will be found to stand on casting their votes on
the Nebra ska bill
The Inter-oceanic Telegraphic. may not
be generally known that Professor Morse, the
distinguished American telegraph patentee,
has for some time been pursuing Investigations
with the view to the adoption of his patent for
telegraph between Europe and America. In
the course of this labor, he has taken occasion
to address Professor Uieut. U. S. NJ Maury.
to ascertain whether all other difieultiesb eipg
overcome, the bottom of the ocean which the
Professor has sounded in direct lines across
(between the two Continents) were not of such
nature as to render it probable that the COM
munication could not be thus maintained. We
hear that in reply, Mr.. Maury says that be-
tween the north point of Newfoundland and
| The south point of Ireland, where the distance
1
across is shortest-some 1000 miles onIy. the
bottom is in all respects perfectly regular
platea; as though designed for the successful
laying down of such work He adds that
| there is no current there whatever, the water
on the bottom being always still, and further
that the apparatus if laid down on that line
will rest on very fine shelly matter, which can
not abrade it injuriously. In fact, that so far
those elements in the success Of the enterprise
are concerned, Professor Morse will find there
all he can desire. Such, we hear, is the sub
stance of what Lieut.. Maury has written on
the project.
