THE CABLE.

We add a few interesting incidents relative tc
the laying of the cable. The work is done and
all doubt Of its transmission of electric signals is
removed, but in consequence Of its great length
the transmission of word signs is very slow and
changes and improvements are found necessary in
the transmitting and receiving instruments. But
these it is thought will be made extraordinarily,
and the use of the telegraph is prohibited to the
public till they shall be effected.
The Niagara arrived at its destination and land.
ed the American end of the cable at II O'Clock
ON the morning of Thursday, Aug. 9th, she came
to anchor close to the shore, in II fathoms of wa
ter, having succeeded in her share of the great I'M
dertaking. She had payed out lob miles, and
telegraph signals were constantly flowing through
the entire length.

AS IT WAS-AS 1T is.

Last week, in speaking of the nomination OF
Mr.. Case, we called attention to the very remarka'
ble change which had been wrought in the party
calling itself democratic, since it had sold out to
the Slave Power. We desire, now, to bring that
change still more prominently to the notice OF the
reader.
We do not have to look back very far, in the
histories of parties, to find a time when the South
was divided by political questions Just as much as
the North. When Kontpcky. and Tennessee, and
Georgia, and North Carolina, and Maryland
were Wing States; when New York, and Maine,
and New Hampshire, and Michigan, and Ohio
were Democratic States. All this was changed
Inv the Slavery issue. The South said to the DEM
ocratic party, Ego in for slavery and we will give
you every Southern state. You may lose some
thing ia the extreme north. but you can always
carry the States on the slave border, and, with
the patronage and power of the general govern
ment, you can make sure of your ascendency.'

TELLING TRUTH ABOUT OTTER foLKs.-Wock De-
fore las, we published some remarks on the
ro.sl.yery positions and doings of both the Dem
orots and Republicans. The condemnation of the
seepublicans pleasing the Democrats, that half of
Tho article found its way into one Of their papers
hast week. The Republicans seemed equally
rleased with what we had to say of the Democrats,
and we End so much of the truth as regards them
in one of the Republican papers. Well it is bet.
ter these men should like, and tellithe truth about
other folks if they wont tell it about themselves,
than not to like or tell any part of it.
The obvious moral Of these facts is, that whoev'
or wants to know the whole truth must take an ABB
clifton paper.
TO do full justice to the papers aforesaid We
should add, that the Democratic paper had the
courtesy and honesty to give us credit for our ar
ticle, while the Republican paper inserted the ar
ticle Without credit under its editorial head, and in
editorial form.
We are not complaining. If the editor is short
of time and matter next week, he is welcome to APP
~propriate 1--WE do not copyright our editorials) and
do az he chooses about crediting our articles. But
we shall insist upon one condition, viz: that he
publishes what we have to say about Ills own pur'

ee,ber the most valuable and useful OF our iaoorS'
and if we are to furnish Republicans editorials we
insist upon our right to select tho topics.

MORE TREASON TO THE UN~IoN.-Som Black
Republicans of New Lyme, recently observed q
cUlored woman acting as nurse in the family of o
Mr.. Anderson, who with his wife and child were
spending the hot season with his Lrother.in law of
that township.
Three men undoubtedly encouraged by British
abolitionists, made a visit to the residence of the
Kentuckian, and actually attempted to talk with
this 'chattel." But the mistress showed pluck,
and the abolitiorists, calling to mind the solemn
decision of the Senate, that a pirate bearing the
American flag was not subject to risitatiOn, hauled
off, without even demanding an examination of
her 'apers.
They felt, however, that it would be a lasting
disgrace to our country, for a slave to reside here
six weeks, and then 60 back to chains. and signs,
and tears, and they repaired to our village, and
some of our lawyers not having the fear of the
Union before their eyes, obtained q writ of uabeas
Corpus; and Sheriff Hendry soon brought all the
parties before Judge Plumb. The Postmaster got
wind Of the proceedings, and as no lawyer in JEFF
fefson seemed to care a fig for the Union, our ex-
deputy U. S. Marshall felt called on by virtue of
his Office to attend to the case as council. Some
one or two Locofocos were also with him who swOre
that il the '~'nigger' was set free the Union would
be split fine as oven wood. Others of that party
rolled up their eyes in holy horror in contempla-
ton of the civil war that would rage if the slave
were set free. But the Kentuckian wisely made
no claim, and Judgment setting the girl at liberty
was entered. The Democrats were Mortified and
proclaimed the great evils that must follow this
act; and as they spoke of their future woes, some
of them declared they could already smell sulphur.

Tho Journal of Commerce has a letter from
South Carolina, which treats of a contest for the
Senate of that State in Edgeield District, between
Col. William Gregg and Col. j. p. Carroll, The
writer balances fairly the claims and qualifications
of the two competitors, but says:
81 must admit here that Col. Gregg has done
much for the district, having built the Graniteville
factory, which turns out near 10000 yards of cloth
per day, giving employment to 400 persons, who
were meIe ciphers in the district previous to the
building of this factory, giving them more than
living wages, including male and female"
There is a moral i'll this unconscious statement
which does not often reach the eyes of The Jour
nails readers. The people employed by Col. Gregg
in his factory are nearly all of the class known at
the South as "poor Whites" "Sand Hillers," &C.,
and are summed up by tho ebony chattels under
the c%ontemptous designation of "White Trash"-
people who live by a little hunting, a little fishing

HIGH PRICE FOR SLAvEs.--The New Orleans
Picayune states that seven slaves were sold by the
Sheriff. on the Sth instant, under order Of court,
and without guarantee, at an average Of 1888.
the highest price paid was for Octave, aged about
~ years, $1,000; the lowest paid was for Olivia,
Sl,l40. They were purchased for well known
prominent families. When such prices rs these
for slaves are obtained at Sheriff's sale, two things
are clear-that they are in strong demand, and
that they are not, as is commonly supposed de-
preciated by being sold by the Sheriff. -Tuskegee
