District Judge.

TIE indications are at present that N.
G. WYATT is elected Judge Of the 18th dis
trict. This would be the result beyond a
doubt had there been no boiling in this
county. Here some As voters, claiming
to be Democrats, without giving any sub
stantial reasons for their action, voted and
electioneered for A. w. HUBBARD, the
regular Republican nominee, thus depri-
wing Mr.. WYATT Of nearly one hundred
votes. If defeated at all, the majority
against Mr.. W. will not reach this mum.
Der, consequently the Democracy of the
district will know at whose door to charge
the defeat. Mopona and Harrison coun.
ties have done nobly. The large MAORI
ties given by them to Mr.. W. are a sue.

sgainst him which appeared from time to

The statement that the breach in the
cable Is from two to three hundred miles
from yalentia, has no doubt suggested the
question to many, How can its locality be
determined? On this point the London
Observer says: -
Strange as it may seem, the electrician
has the power Of ascertaining, by means
of the electricity itself, the locality Of the
tiny outlet by which it escapes into the
sea. Some time since most ingenious
piece of mechanism WAS made, by which
the electricity could be weighed, the fluid
being made to act upon the magnet and
this, upon the end Of the nicely poised
steelyard, would tell with accuracy the
weight Of the current transmitted from
the other end of wire at long distance
Following out this experiment, we believe
first shown by Professor Faraday, ct the
Royal Institution, other electricians have
arranged very sensitive piece Of MACH
merry, by which the amount of resistance
opposed to the passage of the electricity
by the conducting wire may be correctly
ascertained. The amount of resistance
offered through the whole length Of the
Atlantic cable, or even one.half Of il, is
something very much larger than any which
can be marked by the delicate machinery
hitherto employed upon shorter distances
Of wire. The consequence is that the
electricians have not yet been able salts
factorily to ascertain the place where the
cable is defective. One thing, however,
they are certain, that is, that the fault does
not occur within twenty or thirty miles of
the land, and we are informed that within
the first two or three hundred miles the
continuity is yet perfect and complete
Beyond this distance all is still doubt and
uncertainty, and it is idle at present to
speculate upon the subject. Should the
defect be found to exist in the deep parts
Of the sea, the public must be content to
hear that for the present the Atlantic tel
egraph is failure.
