Tu ATLANTIC CAuLE.-Prol Morse fixes

te.cS.auAlc cable whe ltIt properly belongs.
Mr. Bright, the head engineer, who had
the laying of the cable under his sole direc-
uon, appears to have been the culprlt lie
had puu the blame upon a mechanic but
Professor Morse saws that he ordered one OF
ms su1ordlnatcs to apply the brakes, the
o mechanic hesItlted, Mr.. Bright repeated
the htl order, and the mischief was done.
Iua Professor slrcIstically remark, that
MIR, 8n5ht generously gave Il certificate

from any blame lJr the disaster Another
very Important fact stated by Professor
Morse Is, that the cable was running out
but very little caster than the rate at which
tine suIo was going. The London

STATE IIousE. The Woodstock Standard
has the following - The following notice
appears in the Register Of last week, signed
by many citizens "A meeting of the cIti-
zehs of MidIlebury. will be holden at the
Town Hail, Tuesday evening, the 22d inst.
to consider the prOpriety and e4pediency Of
general taxation to delray the expense of
rebuilding the State House at Montpelier
We missed our Register last week but
as there is no account Of the dongs Of
such meeting in the Resistc Of this week
we are inclined to think the Standqrd must
be in some error What occasion could
there be for such a meeting at Middlebury
\ Bond was given, according to the pro-
position of the Montpelier representative,
wherein certain competent persons bound
themselves to refund to the State the cost
of rebuilding the State House at Montpelier
We are aware that DR.. Powers Of Wood
stock, then a member Of the committee Of
the House which had the final shaping Of
the bill in charge, and now the Superint"'
dent Of reconstruction, said, o'
ion was closed, that ..r tba scss
expense - ..e did not intend tn
-40uld be repaid as provided
shaped the bill accordingly, but DR.
Powers and the signers of the Bond are diff
ferent parties. We can conceive why tn
signers of the Bond and the people Of Mont
pelier might consider it proper and cxpcdi
ent to have the expense of rebuilding tn,
state House provided for by general taxa
ton; but till they request it, there wJul,
seem to be no reason for the people Of Mid
dlebury or any other town to move in such
a matter,

could not learn at the time, that there was any
Methodist Sabbath School there, as a School it
being well known that that denomination had
projected q celebration of their own to be held at

would assist him in obtaining it. and would

The first officer who made Il remark upon
the subject, after Gen. Scots statement.
was General TwIGGs, who pleasantly said

stipulating, as condition, that the

was desired. )"
This is all Of my memorandum of what
he said, but | well remember that he rose
from his seat and earnestly spoke for some
time in favor of the scheme. There was not
the slightest intimation from him that
there was anything wrong in acceding to
the proposals from the city Of Mexico. lie

what might be called u regular speech in
favor of it, and venture to say that no one
who heard him imagined that he ever had,
or was likely to have, any doubts OF the
perfect proprety Of it, What he said was
then uttered as general officer OF the
army. 1t now appears that the next day
acting no doubt in his private capacl y as a
spy he made a somewhat formal protest
against the proceeding and for this alter

The Shriekers Coraered.

Some Of the Northern democratic
papers are showing the hsartlessness
and hypocrisy Of the freedom Shrek
efs, by comparing the principles
settled in the bred Scott decision Of
the Supreme Court over which such
q bowl has been raised, with par
ticular clause in the Free Slate Con-
lstitution Of Kansas, document by
which all abolitiondom swears. The
clause in question is to the effect
iiree, that no negroes shall be allowed
TO settle or live in the State not
only denying them the rights Of citi-
senship, but the poor privilege of
breathing the free air of Kansas
The abolitionists ars thus reduced to
the necessity Of acknowledging their
opposition to the Topeka Constitu-
ton, for which every Black Republi-
can in Congress voted, and The rrjec-
lion Of which bias been such fruit
full theme Ut agitatien among the
Northern masses. II negroes are
citizen Of the United States, their
exclusion from any State is in palpa-
sble violation Of the Constitution
II they are not citizens, then oil
course, the decision of the Supreme
Court was right. But the Aboli.
,ionisis by supporting the bogus free
State Constitution OF Kansas, which
was adopted long before the Drei
Scott decision Was rendered, commit
ted themselves to the doctrine that
: negroes are not eiiizers. This fac
being borne in mind, the honesty IN.
sincerity of their denuneiations o
) that decision, ard their abuse of th,
venerable JUICES, eau be rroptrl,
appreciated. 1t proves rgain til,
