The Atlantic Cable.
HOW THE FIRST "FAULT" WAS
REMEDIED.
Belief that the Enterprise is a Fall
ure.

The Valentia correspondents of the London
Times gives fuller account of the first de-
feet in the Atlantic cable than that copied
elsewhere from the Daily Ne,cs;
VALENTIA, July 27.-At last the IN stery
of the break down of the cable is known in
all it's details. The master of the Hawk,
which returned here this evening, having
left the great ship last night, brings full par
ticulars, both OF the extraordinary nature of
the accident, and the still more curious man
ner in which ii was discovered, it's place as
certained, the cable hauled in, and the piece
cut out. When about eighty miles off land,
with dead calm weather, the ship going ak
knots, and the cable, we are told, running
out as softly as '.silk rope" the usual test
signals were being sent through, when sud-
denly both those to and from the shore gave
most serious indications of faulty insulation.
The utmost alarm was felt on this discovery.
The connections of the instruments were care
fully re-examined, and the most rigid exact
ness observed in the final tests. All gave
the same result, and, what was still moro
certain and ominous proof, the return cur
rents from Yalentia showed an equal loss
Notice was instantly given to Mr.. Canning
and Captain Anderson, and the speed of the
Great Eastern. which was then in three hum
dred fathoms, was reduced to almost q stand.
still Ii must be rememb ered that all theee
signals were sent and received through the
whole length of two thousand three hundred
nautical miles, or about two thousand seven
hundred statute miles, of wire. at1 IAe ~
saRalentia was instantly communicated with,
and the whole electrical staff, under Mr.. De |
Sauty, set to work to ascertain by resistance |

lntereference with the Kentucky Election


From the Cincinnati Commercial.
The American people are properly sensi-
tive concerning the integrity of the ballot box
and the proceedings in Kentucky on election
day will not be received with favor in apy
quarter, and least of all by those who have
stood with most constancy and frmness by
the cause of law and order-the cause of Un-
ion aud American nationality. during the
war.
Its not becoming that file Of soldiers shall
stand before the polls. and that officers of the
army of the United States shall hold lists of
those who are prescribed made out by ire
sponsible persons. and prevent them from ap-
proaching the ballot box. That this was done
in Kentucky there is ample and conclusive
evidence; and the flavor of this business is
too nearly that of the border ruffiau outrap-
es in Kansas to permit to be passed in silence
by any honest journalist.
We feel that is our duty to bring this mat
ter before the people, and to remind the mad
men In Kentucky, who have instigated and
propose to profit by the outrage, that there is
not a township in the north where the action

tiers. we cannot but think that Gen Palmer
