TIE ATLANTIC CABLE.--We publish elsewhere
an interesting account by our reporter at
81. Johns, Newfoundland, Of the preparations
that are being made on this side to complete
the work of connection with the Atlantic
cable as soon as il arrives at Hearts Con-
tent (name of happy augury), which has ap-
propriately been selected az it's American
terminus.
The Great Eastern probably left England
on the 10Th, and within "a couple Of
weeks the work of laying the cable
will probably have been accomplished.
The successful eonsummati0n of this part
OF the undertaking is not, however. the
problem TO be solved. That was done when
the line was laid before. No one entertained
doubt that what was effected then could be
effected again. The question now is whether
the line can be rendered commercially and
generally available, so as to be made paying
aud permanent institution.
Ii has been established that, in its coiled
state, four words minute can be transmitted
from one end to the other of the cable. Cau-
tious scientific men say that when stretched
and laid, double that quantity, or eight words
minute, can be transmitted through it.
There are others more sanguine, who believe
that even this number OF words can be dupli-
Gated. Sixteen words minute would enable
thc single line TO pay handsomely at con-
siderably lower tariff than that fixed upon by,
the company. But all this is speculation,
and until the thing is demonstrated by actual
experiment it is impossible TO say how far
the present cable can be made commercial
success.
Should IL be found that the calculations on
which the compaDy's tariff is prndentially
based are near the mark, and that The accom-
mediation afforded by the line cannot be further
extended, it is obvious that a great deal will
remain TO be accomplished before the connec-
ton between the two bemispheres can be said
to be complete. The next step to be taken
would. in that case be to manufacture and lay
another cable, 80 improved Ms to admit of the
transmission of al increased number OF words
per minute, and, if TINT cannot be accomplished
to lay third. All this will OF course involve
an immense outlay If capital. but there will
be no difficulty in raising it, when once it is de-
monslrated thai ACKNOWLEDGEMENT commu-
nicativn between the two continents il feasible.
-. -----! ,--
SquABMdxG OVER TsE SP0ns.---Ii appears that
there is a fearful tempest in a teapot going on
between tho Weed-Raywond faction and the
Greeiey-Opdyke faction touching certain Gus
tom house and other fat federal Offices in this
city, IN which some changes are expected.
Messrs. Belmont and Barlow do not appear to
be in the fight, from which we infer that Mont
gomcry Blair has tailed in his plans looking to
their introduction among the good things Of
the kitchen. The amnesty proclamation Of
Andy Johnson does not extend to the Chicago
