it finally fail, Science will put on the

Four days had interviewed since the In

ly lost. This, if correct, would indicate
that either the cable had parted of itself,
or had been cut, and the end buoyed up,
through some unforeseen difficulty
arising. In either case the Great East
ern would probably return to port with
out delay, and as she was not more than
nine days. sail from Europe, by the Goth
instant we may hear of her return to
Valentia, unless, in the meantime, the
levIathian should create an agreeable
surprise by turning up safe andsound at
Hearts Content. Hopes of successful
prosecution of the enterprise were still
cherished in England, and the telegraph
shares had not fallen so low as might
have been anticipated. An ingenious
theory has been suggested that, possibly,
a magnetic storm of more than usual
severity which prevailed on the I'd in
slant, had caused the arrangement of
the insulation of the cable.

opened saloon near the Broadway
Theatre, doing good business. The
war came to an end, and, in course OF
time, good many New Orleans folks,
old Confed. acquaintance OF Holt,
found their way back to New York.
DESTROYS of renewing old acquaintance,
party of them the other evening paid
him a visit. With mutual recognition
there was deal of hand-shaking and
congratulation all around. The New
Orleans boys called for several bottles of
Mad. Cliquot's best, and drank with
mine host to the :" days of auld lang
syne," paying for 1t in greenbacks.
Then they called for more champagne,
and more, and more, until about 500
worth had been quaffed, when all hands
proposed to go home. Holt, however,
intimated that, as proper prelim-
mary, the boys had better settle up.
The boys took the hint, and paid the old
fellow off in his own coin, that is to say,
they pulled out of their pockets a hand
full of his repudiated Confederate shin
plasters, and informed him that 1t was
now a good time to redeem them. He
looked unutterable things. He didn't
understand He "wasn't redeeming
these notes now )" he really "could not

bellion. BY following out the idea, an
end will soon be put to the useless ana
unnecessary discussion that has been
carried on so rabidly since their cause
was lost. They should learn to acknow-
ledge the cause was bad one from
the very lact it was not successful ;
and therefore it is the part Of wisdom
to forget 1t and all things connected
with it-all remembrance thereof. And
the sooner they cease to talk of 1t, the
sooner will these recollections fade away
and die out, both from their own minds
and the memory of the world at large
Therefore let them dismiss the subject

determination to each act his part hon

Simeon Draper, the Collector of Gus

The change is to take place on the first

his policy in regard to the Southern
States, and intends that no subordinate
officials shall be retained who attempt
to throw obstacles in its way. This is
encouraging to all friends of the admin

beginning of the decapitation of the
friends Of Chase. This removal upsets
many nicely arranged plans, and is the
precursor of the overthrow of the Loyal

GENERAL BUTLER.-This officer was
in Pittsfield, Massachusetts,, on Monday
last. He met several gentlemen of that
vicinity, to whom he made few re-
marks. The Pittsfield Eagle thus re-
ports him: 80.
"The General is very much opposed
to the retention of so many major gene
rails in the service. There are now one
hundred and seventy, which gives a
general to every five hundred men. In
the Department of the East he says
there are eight major generdls-a gene
raj to every ,ninety-eight men on duty in
the department. He thinks that the
better policy would have been to have
more privates, for the officers can be had
at any time at the beck of the Govern
ment while it takes thousand dollars
to get private" lea@ IS
General Butler was very earnest on
the subject of negro suffrage. He said {:
1--WE beat the rebels at the ballot-box
in 1860; we have beat them with the
bayonet; and now. the contest comes
back again to the ballot-box; the rebels
of the North and South will strike hands
and outvote the loyal men of the coun-
try, and thus cause domestic strife, and
perhaps more fratricidal blood to fiow."
General Butler was consistent when
he made the above remark. He set the
example long ago, and rendered his re-
| signation to the Commander-in- Chief of
the Army and Navy, as We stated one
week ago. If the President does not see
fit to accept it, we presume it is because
he knows his own business and the public
interest best. 1t would be vastly better
for General Butler to be free to attend to
the large number of his old clients who
are pressing him to return to the prac-
tice OF law, where an immense fortune
awaits him, than to be tied I'D as he Is,
while holdinga commission in the vol
unteer service ofthe United States army,
Therefore, If the Commercial advertiser
supposes for moment that it is of any
pecuniary advantage to General Butler
to remain in the service, we can assure
the editor of that paper that he is greatly
mistaken. We happen to know that It
is the desire of General Butler to get out
OF the service. 1t Is a heavy pecuniary
loss to him foreman in it, but he is veal
thy and can afford to make the sacrifice,
if it is demanded of him to do so.
If the President believes that there
exists field of usefulness for man of
the executive talents, great learning,
and legal acumen of General Butler, and
chooses to order the General to duty
there, he has right to do so, the coun-
try will applaud the act, and Gen. Butler
will bow obedience to the Presidential
dictum; his own preferences, the wishes
of rich corporation clients, and waiting
fortunes to the contrary notwithstand
ing. We say what we know Wash
ington National Republican.
