DAGUERREOTYPE OF .THE FEDERAL
CITYn Under DEMOCRATIC RULE

We have nothing to regret but the brawls and
acts of violence which have OF late furnished the
reputation of the Federal City by the gangs OF
rowdies who nightly iniest our streets. They
have, step by step, grow holder and more defiant
until they now trampe the laws under foot with
out the slightest apprehension. Continued immu-
nifty from punishment always invites the repe'i-
ton Of offences. Tho nsubordinate spirits in this
city have become more reckless, and their viola.

"what hath God wrought"

The first telegraphic message" What hath
God wrought verified by Prof MOrse's
handwriting, is now to be seen in the rooms OF
the Connecticut Historical Society, at Hartford
The Couranf states that when Prof Morse was
in Hartford, he called at the Historical Rooms
with Mr.. Charles Hosmer, looked at the paper,
verified his own hand writing, and the following
account Of the message:
Miss Annie G. Ellsworth, (nOw Mrs. Roswell
C. Smith, daughter Of Hon. Henry L Els
worth, at that tune Patent Office Commission
er, did kind thing for Prof Morse, in sending
him word that his telegraph bill had passed, al
ter Morse, on the last night OF the session,
wearied out with hope long deferred, had gone
home to his lodgings, saddeEed by the eonyie-
ton thai his bill could not be reached and must
fail. for want of time. BY some management,
about a hundred bills which had precedence IN
due course, were jumped. and the telegraph
bill. to Morse's surprise aid delight, was reach
ed and became q law. Grateful for the kindness
(possibly Henry L. Ellsworth could explain
how Professor Morse's bill was reached out OF
its eourse) the Professor promised Miss Els
worth that she should indite the first message
sent over the wire When all was ready, she
sent the following exclamation: What hath
God wrought :"

A,tautie reIeTraph--Cause OF Decay.


The delay and mystery attending the OPert-
tions of the Atlantic Telegraph have led to
surmises in some quarters that there is good
deal of humbug about the matter after ala
failure or the next thing to it. The Boston
Advertiser states that If has private intelligence
from Trinity Bay, asserting that the delay in
sending messages across the Atlantic is owing
to two causes, as follows:
Il appears that in the passage OF one electrl-
cal signal across the Ocean-not only Is an ap-
preciable time consumed, but the signal itself
changes, in a degree, its original character. 1t
is. so to speak, stretched out. signal which,
on short line. would seem perfectly sharp and
prompt, takes the form of long wave, and re-
auires from SIX to ten seconds to declare itself
between the beginning OF the effect and at Its
end
Between what such signal would be al the
end of short wire, and what it is at the end OF
the Atlantic wires, there is somewhat the same
difference as between the shortest (staecatoJ
blast of a whistle, and note drawn out with
the swell of an organ, to the length OF SIX or
even ten seconds A distinct feature TO be OBJ
served is the swell of the prolonged signal II
has more force in the middle Of its period, and
gains and loses that force gradually. The ordi-
nary instruments in use for telegraphing are not
adapted to such peeuliaTities in the electric slg,
mails, and therefore material alterations VIII
/ have TO be made. Hence the delay.

liquor, the hoax exploded too. The shock broke

Canadian ParIiament-sIeasures Passed.


Parliament was prOrogued on the 10th. The
Session has been long and stormy, toward the
close the old and new Ministry popping out
and in with the eclerity OF Pop goes the wea-
sell The talk in Parliament has been immense,
and several measures of Importance have been
eonsummated. Only single bill. the land bill,
among the Macdonald ministerial measures, has
been left over. All the rest of the Government
measures have been carried.
Among the measures passed is the bill pro-
viding for the registration of voters, which, 1t
is expected, will prevent the repetition OF the
gross frauds of former elections. The jury bull
passed is intended to effect considerable saw
ing in the administration of justice, and secure
a better class of Jurors. The Fishery bill is an
other measure passed, but of doubtful eHPedi-
encv. and meets with much opposition in Up
per Canada Under the new usury law, SIX
per cent. will remain the legal rate of interest,
where it is not otherwise agreed The banks
will be allowed to charge seven per cent. iOr
discounts, and besides, certain commissions
from WIFI \ portion ~ their Irfit- : a. i'A''f
but which were regarded as Of questionable
leg ,lity. are TO be allowed. When bill dis
counted at one agency is made payable at an
other agency Of the same bank, liked COM
mission will be charged; that 1t will not be IN
the power Of the banks to increase IT. The ne"
art is a compromise between the friends OF tree
trade in money and the adherents of laws re-
pressing usury. Virtually il a triumph of the
former. as parties, except Banks, are left at
liberty TO fix any rate Of interest, high or low,
by their own agreement. The bill virtually
abolishing Imprisonment for debt IN Upper
Canada, it is expected will stop fraudulent as
sigments BY traders and prove general bene-
ht The revision Of the tariff at the session just
closed had for its object a certain encourage
rnent to domestic manufactures, while adher-

Leader expects to see branches OF industry

Two addresses to the Queen were passed of
importance one on the subject of an inter

As a preliminary or an accompaniment Of &
