about tho time he went over, asserts that no
saw no sufficient cause for Disunion, but that,
tinco Virginia had seeded, he felt bound to
ego with bic State"
Now, VIC would cast no stone at Gen. Lee nor
at any one who stands in like position. We are
not now urging that their course has been
culpablc. We only insist that if Gen. Lee or
any one else so intorpretS al oath of lcyaly to
the United States that its solemn promise is
not violated by such course, then We do mt
want him to swear any more. The old oath
never having been violated according to his
view), it is just as good to-day as though it had
been resworn last month. Not till it Is settled
that no State can release o citizen from his
obligation OF loyalty to the Union, can we feel
that there is any validity or Sense in swoaring
ex-Rebels back into citizens. Our political
system, as Washington, Madison and John
Marshall expounded and accepted it, is, with
all its imperitctions, the best extant. But ii
each citizen owes divided allegiance-if the
Uron may lawfully require him to fight on ono
side, while his State, with eqaal if not para
mount authority, commands him to fight on
the other-if he may be rightfully court
martialed and shot, let him take which side 10
mayhem our form Of government is more
vicious and abominable than that of Turkey or
fallen Poland. Such political system as is
implied BY the theory of tho ScccssonistS
deserves alike tho scorn of good men aud the
dcinolishing judgment of God.
The scope and effect of the oath Of allegiance
are, to our mind, clear enough. They need no
calculation, no definition, no glossary. we
only insist that, if it is to be taken in tho sense
required by State Sovereignty, then that oath
were far better not taken at all.

The Chicago Tribune says that We did not
notice "the graramen of the charge which we
made against Horace Greelcy"--which it pro-
ceeds to reterate, as follows:
Immediately after tho termination Of Horace
Grrelys stupid and unlawful back door negotiation at
Niagara Fas with the Rebel raiders Clay. Sanders
Co. be turned In his rage upon Secretary Stanton who
he 2posed had been mainly Instrumental In npsetting
his diplomacy and gave him notice ns years before he
had given notice to Mr.. Seward tn, henceforth, the
Secretary Of War might consider H. Il. his enemy"
We'll, if this is the gist Of our Chicago
namesake's arraignment, we can make short
work of it. To the best Of our knowledge and
belief, it is utterly false and baseless. We have
taxed our memory to the utmost and have no
shadow Of recollection that We ever gave the
present Secretary Of War any "notiCe" what
ever, save the irst-rate notices we used to give
him when he was first made Secretary of War.
Now will our assailant undertake to justify
its imputatonl And will it please tell US what

TEE ATLANTIC CABLE.

The news that new accident has happened
to the Atlantic Cable will be received by the
people of tie United States with universal and
profound regret The preparations for the great
enterprise had been made with such care
and caution as to inspire the most COM
petent judges with sanguine hopes for the
success of the expedition. These hopes
were somewhat moderated by the unfortunate
accident which occurred on Monday, July "a;
but the prompt repair Of the fault and the pros
porous progress of the expedition during the
latter days of the week, inspired all with
new confidence. The disappointment which oil
who have watched the progress OF the enter
prise with deep interest now feel, Is therefore
all the more profound.
The dispatch announcing the new accident
merely states that $50 miles Of tho cable were
paid out on Saturday, July %, and that 100
miles had been paid out altogether. when in
sulation was lost from causes unknown.
The question now uppermost in all minds, is,
whether it is probable that the exact locality OF
the fault can at once be ascertained and the
fault repaired; For an answer to this question,
the detailed account, which we give in another
column, of the first breakdown Of the Gable, IA
of great Importance. While this account fur
nishes another Illustration of the countless
difficulties and adverse influences against
which submarine telegraphy has yet to guard
at the same time it is very gratifying
proof Of the thorough preparations for
repairing any defects Of this kind. By
sending currents through the entire length
of the cable On board, it was at once discovered
that the fault was to be found in the part
already paid ont Mr.. Saunders, in the tele
graph office in Valencia, by aid Of resistance
coils and the galvanometer, and after repeated
minute and delicate experiments, declared thC
fault to be IL miles from the point where thu
Great Eastern lay, calculation which was
found to be entirely correct. An apparatus FOL
fishing up the cable, which the Great Eastern
had in readiness for such all emergency, wa:
applied, the cable recovered without any diff
Guilty, the fault discovered to DO caused by d
perverse bit of wire, the piece of rope contain.
ing it cut ont, and the cable respliced.
There is nothing in the dispatches concerning
the accident which points to any greater diff.
culties in this new case than in that Of the for.
mer. As soon as the cessation of insulation was
discovered, it could be ascertained in whatpart
of the cable it was to be found, and the prcvi-
Gus experience Of the Great Eastern would in
dcate that there will be no difficulty in over
hauling the cable.
There is, therefore, ground for hope that the
enterprise has not yet failed, and that We may
soon hear more encouraging news

ayowals of tho "worse than Egyptiss bondage
were made by persons who were inpower here
that is, by our Government. Hence, before the
members Of tie Confederate Executive or OF
their Congress DO pardoued, they should be re-
CURED to inform the President When and BY
whom these avowals were made. These inves-
legations By the President arc required by re-
gard for the character Of Our Government and

A PHILADELPHIA correspondent of The London
Times quotes tho circular of Mr.. Jay Cooke,
announcing that on the third series Of the
United States Seven. Thirty Loan, the Govern
ment. while willing to pay ~ 80 interest," TO-
served the option ofpaying six per cent. in gold'
and argues that this is the beginning OF an
adroit scheme on the part Of the Government to
repudiatc its debit Such nonsense as this re-
quires no particular reply from us, and We OIL
lude to il to show that in tho English mind
.here still exists disa.fection toward America,
and that thers ore literary Hessians in this
country ready for pay to pander to this senti-
mcnt and ondeavor to debase American secu-
rites in the hands of foreign holders. We all
know That when me Seven-Thirty Loan was
authorized VIC were in the midst of q dreadful
war; that money was necessary, and we were
compelled to make particular Inducements TO
lenders. Hence a large interest and short
loan. When the third series Of that loan was
issued, the war was over, gold had fallen, and
there was no necessity Of paying war interest
in times of peace. Therefore, tho Government
reserved the right to pay 6 per cent. in gold
the same rate paid on the Five-TwentieS, now
selling for lJ5. The best evidence of the Secu'
rty of our loans lies in the fact that these very
Seven.Thirties were quoted yesterday within
half per cent of par. and we expect soon to see
them at premium. If the English people are
afraid Of our securities, let them alone. We do
not force any of our loans upon them, and
would prefer they would not buy. We would
far rather keep an American debt in America

President Johnson.

In speaking OF President ohnson, the Lond on
Herald says:
ssTo turn scctiing into reverence, curses into
blessings, and to con quer the good opinion Of
the world, n despite almost of itself, is a work
not given to many men. There are few grand
examples in history, and but few. Therefore,
when we find ruler whose elevation seemed to
presage reign of terror, and whose anteccdents
pointed him out rather as an avenger, than a
healer Of social disorder, winning his way in the
worlds esteem by clemency, the spectac le makes
a deep impression on our minds, aud calls for
remark not more generous than just. President
Johnson has agreeably disappointed ct least ONE
hal3bf the world by wise and statesmanlke
policy that will give him high place in the pan
theon of American worthless. Quite in another
way than that contemplated by the Republican
fanatics, he is the man for the time and, while
Washington has the credit of establishing his
country's Independence and settling its form Of
Government, Andre W Johnson may yet 90 down
to posferity as the statesman who, by 4 wise
clemency, reconstructed the edifce W hen it had
suffered blow that shattered it to its founda-
ti0n.''
