New YoRK, Sept. 2i.-ln card from Mr.. Field,
touching the condition of the Atlantic telegraph
cable, he says he deems it proper to state, as
the result of his enquiries concerning the dis
patch Of Thursday from Trinity Bay, announc-
ing the resumption of the cable, that the an
nouncement was made through dispatch from
the superintendent of the land lines in New
Foundiand to the agent Of the Associated
Press was unquestonably in good faith. But as
the information is not confirmed by Mr.. SANITY
who alone has full knowledge of the facts he regards
the statement as possibly premature.
1t is conjectured that the shore end of the cable
at Nalentia must be taken up distance of several
miles, which may occupy some weeks. It is not
doubted that even two hundred and fifty miles could
be raised if necessary.
dispatch to Mr.. D'Santy from the honorary Di-
rec tors says that great dissatisfaction exists with
he reserve maintained at Trinity Bav in contrast
with the frank communications from Valentia sta
ton to the British public and calls for daily infor-
nation regarding the condition of the cable
Mr.. Field also sent a dispatch to Mr. D'Santy,
saying that the dispatches from him and from Mr.
Mackay are contradictory, and asking for explicit
answers to the following Dues tiongt
Are you now or have you within three dave past
received distinct signals from Valentia
Can you send message, long or short, to the Di-
rectors at London.
If you answer ''No' to the above, tell me if the
electrical manifestations have varied essentially

Railroads i'm PWblic Strccts--Tm.
pOrtaut Legal Decision.

The Supreme Court, nt Albany, has Just
decided that a railroad does not becoms a
nuisance from the fact that its LOGON olive
may endanger life by running through the
public streets. The court holds that the
public highways belong to the people, and
through the Legislature, the people may de.
vote them to such uses as the public conve-
nience requires. Their authority Is snprem :.
and they do not have to ask any ones con.
sent to such use as the public may desire
the highways to be appropriated. To build
railroad without authority OF law would
be nuisance which a court of equity could
prevent, bat when the Legislature gives it's
sanction, it is no longer nuisance, and
no equity can interfere. The court says
that railroad built by authority of law is
not nuisance, and therefore can work no
legal injury. either to the public or any pri.,
vate individual. II may occasion inconve.
nlence or loss. it may depreclate the value
OF property and render its enjoyment incom.t
nodious and almost impossible, yet IL ia no
wrong that the law can redress. It Is es.
sentlal, to nuisance either public Or pri.
vate, that it be thing done or suffered,
contrary to law. A legitimate deduction
from absolute. dominion Of the State is, says
the court. the Legislature authorize the
construction of a railroad along the line of
any street. - When thus authorized, the
road can not be denominated q nuisance,
and neither local authorities, nor any indi.
vldual to whom it may work special incon-
venlence, can successfully interfere to pre-.
vent its construction.

sena torial ELECTIONS in Ohio.

A correspondence appears In the Cincin-
natl Enquirer between several gentlemen
and the Hon Geo. E. Pugh, asking the OPT
MON Of the latter upon the const,utionality
aud legality of an election of Senator by
the present Legislature Of that State, whose
term shall commence at the expiration OF
Mr. Pugh's, which will occur on the Sd Of
March, 1861. He gives the opinion that the
election will properly devoIve upon the le.
gislature to be chosen in October, 1859, as
that will be the legislature actually in ex.
istence in March, 1861, when the senate.
rial term expires. Mr.. Pugh argues the
point at some length, alleging that the pre-
sent legislature, neither under the law o
the State of Ohio, nor according to the CON
stitution of the Uuited States, has the pow
er to make an election for the term to com.
mence in 1861.

The Twtstings Of the Republican

"wheel about, turn about, do just so,
And every time we turn about, jump Jim Crow"
NEGRO melody.
The Toledo Times mentioning the incon-
sislencies of Republication, gives detail.
ed account of their "wireing in and wireing
ous' on the different political questions Of
the day. 1t says:
In Congress, Seward and ]. r. Giddings,
the front and rear OF Abolition Republican
ism, and most Of the other obnoxious politi.
cal isms, voted for the Crittenden Montgom-
cry Kansas bill, which allowed the, people
of Kansas TO have slavery il they desir-
ed it.
This was considered coming out fat foot
ed, in favor of the doctrine OF Popular Sove.
regnty. But "change has come over the
spirit OF the dream" of the leaders Of the Re-
pubicans; they find that it will not do for
them to adopt the same ground that Douglas
does, who is the great advocate OF Popular
Sovereignty, hence we see them at their last
State Convention held in this State, refuse
to endorse the Republican members of Con.
gress who voted for the Crittendon Mont.
gomery Amendment to the Kansas bill.
And hence too, we see them at the same
State Convention re-afirming the old ex-
ploded doctrine of Congressional lntervsn'
ton.
What will be the next move of the Re-
publicans! At one time they raise the ban.
ner of Popular Sovereignty-but like
