Cable.

When the last steamer that has arrived
left Europe, it had not been settled whether
another effort would be made this fall, to
stretch the cable across the ocean, or wait
until next season. Those interested in the
enterprise are more sanguine than ever that
they will finally succeed. Three hundred
and thirty four miles of the cable was pay
ed out without any difficulty. At the time
when more weight was put on the breaks
to prevent the Gable from paying out toe
fast, it parted, where the sen was two miles
and a quarter deep. It's thought that / sc
miles of the Cable that is sunk will be re-
covered

The last Outrage IN Kansas has been
committed by Governor WALNER. lie has
suggested that, it order 10 prohibit illegal
voting and prcvent foreign Intervention at
the ensuing elections. il will be well
require three or sly months residence in
the Territory as requisite to al elector.
1t this Outrage" black repubicani,m
is horriied, especially in New York and
Ohio, VI here elections are 10 be held this fall.
II can scarcely credit the evidence Of lis
senses that Kansas should be made SO to
suffer. And it embraces the melancholy
occasion to shed fresh tears over the
"wrongs of Kansas
Black rcpublicanism has forgotten,
though we have not, that in times past it
regarded rs one Of the greatest Of "oulages'
that there WAS no law OF Kansas by which
a fixed term Of residence WAS required "a
the qualification Of voter. by reason of
which, Missiourians crossed the line on the
day of election, voted. and returned, thus
overwhelming the resident citizens. Black
repubianism las forgotten this, though we
have not, and the public has not.
Black republicanism has also forgotten
that by their famous Topeka constitution
six months residence was required rs
preliminary to the right to vote. The Ian
guage of that constitution is that any person
having the other qualifications required
who shall have resided, and had ''his hab-
itation, domicil, house and place of "pcr-
mancnt abode, in the State of Kansas, for
! 'Si.c months preceding tie election at which
he shall offer to vote shall, "&c. This is
the language OF the Topeka constitution,
which black republicanism would seem TO
have forgotten, though we have not forgot
ten it, nor has the public.
Governor WALKERS suggestion Is emf
nently proper, in every respect. 1t has
been the practice of all the Territories. when
submitting constitution to the people
preparatory to application for admission,
to require that voters should have attained
certain residence. If the practice is just
and proper rs general rule, II is especially
just and proper as applied to kansas,--the
purpose OF its application there being to
avoid the very wrongs and troubles which
have occasoned widespread dissatisfaction
to keep out Missouri nteloperrs on the
one side and oboltionist interlopers on the
other side.
Governor WALKERS whole course in
Kansas has pcen singularly fair and con-
sistent He is entitled to the more applause
for this, because he has encountered OBJ
stacles which would have discouraged and
broken down any ordinary man, OF driven
him to one extreme interest or the other
in the Territory for imaginary protection
Governor WALKER determined his policy
in the outset, and has pursued it undevia-
tingly and firmly.

Free School.

1t seems TO be doubtful about us having
a free school in this place this winter, in
consequence of the doubts entertained in
reference to the consttutionaity of the
law authorizing the Trustees to levy tax
for that purpose We understand that
Judge Petit regards the law unconstitution
al and We further understand that case OF
that kind has been taken to the Supreme
Court, but its decision will not be made
known. in all probability until it will be
too late to make arrangements for a winter
school.
The question now is, what should the
Trustees do? 1t would be wrong for q
portion of the tax payers to pay, unless
all would pay, and it would certainly be ?
great calamity, as well as loss Of time tc
have 10 school this winter.
We think an arrangement could be made
which would justify the Trustees in going
on with the school. If all the residents
were too agree to pay the tax assessed by
the Trustees, there would be no difficulty
and we have pretty strong faith that they
would do so, from the fac. that the schoo
taA has formerly been paid without mucl
grumbling. 1t is evident unless we d,
make some such an arrangement, that Sc
Iect school is all that we can have this fal
and winter. Our proportion Of the Com
mon School Fund will probably be abou
$3.50, which would probably pay the ex
penses of q school for about two months
which is all that we can expect, unless W.
voluntarily agree to pay the tax.

FREEDOM a SECONDARY CONSIDERATION
The Kansas HeraM Of Freeaom--The
paper established by the contributions in

the following:
1t has been repeatedly stated by pro-
fessedly Free State men during the last fe w
weeks that they would rather Kansas would
come into The Union as slave State than
to come into the Union Free State with
any other than the Topeka Constitution.
Our information IN this respect is from
others, but the following extract from
Chas. Robinson's message to the Topeka
Legislature has a pretty strong squirting
in the same direction. He says;
While the great l,rtac;ple for which we
have to contend, is to maintain our RIGHT Of
