The Atlantic CabIc--Probabie Cause ofthc
Electrical Difficulties.

A pamphlet edition Of the letter of Lieut.
Maury, read before the Royal Dublin So
ciety, in Januory, has been published. 1t
discusses the question of an Atlantic Tel
eglaph, and assigns the probable cause of
the failure Of the present cable as follows:
"What he real nature of these difficulties
are must be a matter of conjecture; but
the conjecture which seems to me most
plausible, is one Of this sort: The con-
ducting wire is a strand of seven copper
threads twisted together; this strand is then
coated with gutta percha, making strait
cord about the size of lady's finger; this
cord is then served with eighteen strands
of iron wire, consisting of seven threads
each, wrapped spirally about it. Now, in
the process of paying out in the deep sea,
and in holding back, the strain OF the two
OF three thousand pounds which was bro't
to bear upon the cable, in order to prevent
it running out too fast, was first borne
principally by the strait cord, consisting Of
gutta percha and the conducting wires,
rather than by spiraly laid iron wires.
TO illustrate this propostion-namcly
that the strain was brought to bear upon
the straight center piece or heart, as the
conducting wire and its coating Of gutta
pcrcha may de called, rather than tho spi-
rally served iron wre-it is only necessa-
ry to r.fer to rigging on board ship that is
laid up with heart piece Or center strand.
The strands of the rope, like those Of the
iron wire, are laid spirally about the hear,
and when the rope has been subjected to
strain, Jack to use his own language, al
WAYS finds life gone out Of the heart.'-
Certainly spirally laid rope, of yarn or
iron wire, will stretch more than the ono
about which it is 80 laid.
The Rogers Cord, spoken Of favorabIy
by Lieut.. Maury, is described as follows:
"After insulation the conducting wire is
baried whip cord fashion, with bobbin of
twinc, and then protected with a pigment
gum or cement, which shields the gutta
percha, securing it against chates, bruises,
melting, and still leaves the cord so small
that one ship can carry the whole oft"

Special Dispatch From the Cincinnati Gazette
Tho Cuha m FiiIibusfprs.

In refcnco to the Cuban expedition, the
New York Herald says The famous Gu
ban FlIlbustcr expedition has turned up
Mt port au Prince, Hayti, consisting Of Don
Jose Elias Hcrnandes, and 80 Others, all
Cuhans.
1t Sc ms that they agreed with the Cap
tain of the brig African TO put them into
boats within Is miles Of the port ofNueyas
Grandus, in Cuba, for which service he
was to receive $1,000. When the time
came for them to leave the vessel, there
was too much sea on, or too little courage
among them to venture, and SO the vessel
continue her voyage to Port au Prince.
They carried with them 240 muskets,
and other war munitions, and attempted q
landing at Nuevas Grandes, on the 7th uli. 4.
but when they had placed quantity OF
their powder on the boats, they leaked
some reports say swamped, and the men
had to remain on board the brig. Capt
Brton then stecred for Port au Prince, as
we arc informed by the Empire City, at
New Orleans, when the flibuster. were
put on shore, and remained Mt last dates,
without money, food or employment, ex
cept as given them by the charitable -
The arms were seized, by Government or
DER and placed in the public stores, and
the Spanish Consul at Port au Prince hav-
lug notified General Conchs OF the facts,
war steamer was sent from Havana in or.
der to demand their arrest.
1t was thought that the ridiculous ex-
pcdtion would have very injurious effect
in exasperaiing the Government at Madrid
against the filibuster sympathisers in Cuba.
The Brig African was paid $1,000 IN ad-
vance for the work She is a long cstab'
lished regular trader between the different
parts of she Unite! States, principally New
York, and those Of Hayt, under command
of Capt. Brion. She cleared from New
York for Port au Prince on the 10Th OF
March last, but the names Of the party or
persons to whom the clearance was made
docs not appear on record,

We take dinner to day with the French

A JoKE on A JUDGE.-At the January
term Of the Court of Appeals thn four reg.
ular judges and three Of Che Supreme Court
justices opened the term at the appointed
time, and proceeded to business, the jus
tice for the--di, trict not having arrived.
The case was called, and the counsel for
the appellant commenced opening it. The
gentleman is well known in the State, and
at a former election received the vote of
one of the great political parties for judg-
snip iu the Court of Appeals. He is n
good lawyer, with a dry, sound mind and
considerable humor. While he was in the
midst Of his case, the absent judge Of the
Supreme Court rushed into the room,
somewhat excited by rapid walk up State
street, the hill being much higher and
sleeper than he was accustomed to climb
at home.
He hastily took the vacant seat on one
end of the bench, seized the papers and
commenced passing them before his face,
within short distance of bis nose. The
lawyer who was opening the case bad new
or seen this Judge. and did not know his
pcculiarities. Presently the justice had
run through the case, and got to n point
considerably in advance of the lawyers mar.
ative Of facts. During the whole course of
reading the case the Judge had kept up u
fire of questions as to facts, and as his mind
was all the time upon some point different,
from the part which the lawyer was rela
ting, the questions interrupted the history,
and evidently annoyed tho lawyer.
Presently the judge said: "Mr. II. it
seems that the assignee transferred litter
of pigs in this interest"
ayes, your Honor" said the lawyer, and
resumed his statement.
The Judge hurried on, ard presently
matte another discovery. He interrupted
with another questi n
IL See in this instlumen You speak of
a particular pig, as li'man pig What

The lawyer, whose patience had become
exhausted, threw down his hapers and re-
piled:

pig introduced into the litter, and is al
ways the noisiest and siIlieSt pig in the lit

that the death penalty had been restored or
that an early return thereto was contempla.

In answer to recent note Of inquiry,
addressed to the Secretary Of State, have
received the following, which I communi-
cate to you, for the information of such of

A. M. POWELL, Esq-Sr:-Your ia
vor Of the 18th is ieceived.
In reply have the honor tostate that
the death penalty has not been restored in
this State, and my opinion is that it is not
seriously contemplated by any considcra-
bic number of our people. If 1 mistake
not the popular feeling it is not to reccdc
from the position taken seine year since by
the State on this question. The statistics
murder, according to the population, than
in the same number Of years previous to
to the abolition Of capital punishment, and
such result ought to be satisfactory.

The progress Of humane legislation has
always been slow, and seems ever to have
been attended with di trust IN to it's prac-
tical results. The above wei. authcntica.
ted evidence from Michigan is gratifying
to note. 1t is well thus to show that it is
possible for State to stand, at least for
few years, without annually stretching up
by the neck certain portion Of its mem
bers.
May the day soon come when similar
gratifying testimonial shall 60 forth from
New York, and barbarous executions, with
their horrible sickcnipg details, be "known
no more forever" on our soil.
