MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS.

The Herald evinces such remarkable economy
of truth in its recent illusions to THE TRIBUNE
in reference to Municipal affairs, that it is diff
cult to repel its reckless charges without SEEM
| ine rudeness and indecorum. We can but
briefly say that
/. 1t is grossly untrue that this Journal
"seems to have taken upon itself the special
duty of defending the Heads of Departments"
| in our City. We have uttered no syllable in
their behalf, and have no wish that they should
| be screened from any exposure or penalty. Ii
proof is laid before Gov. Fenton Of their NAL.

remove them, and have not doubt of his doing
so. But We are sure he will take care to con.
denim no one unheard, and remove no function.
airy save on conclusive testimony and after fair
hearing. The fact that the accused ale opposed
to him in politics renders it imperative that he
should act with the greatest circumspectiOn and
|impartiality. Were he to remove the function.
aries now assailed by The Herald, we are conf
dent that he would be asSailed therefor by that
slippery sheet within the next two years.
2. We are under no shadow Of obligation to
any Head of Department in our City. A
very proper and wholesome State law gave the
advertising Of our Municipal bodies to the four
city journals of largest circulation, one Of which
ives and is THE TRIBUNE. That act, Obeyed in
its spirit and letter, would have saved our tax
PAYERS hundreds of thousands Of dollars per
annum, which are now squandered on advsrtis-
ing in sheets which have neither circulation nor
character. If ever the law can be 80 altered as
to restrict Corporation Advertising (save few
short notices of Elections, Tax Sales, Co. to
that one journal Of largest circulation which
will do it at legal rates as fixed by State law,
we shall rejoice. Yet we presume that law
would be deied as the present is, aud the City
Treasury plundered to support pauper sheets as
now. In any case, the Heads Of Departments
will give us no advertising that they are able
to withhold.
A bill was before our late Legislature which
proposed to replace by private enterprise our
City's present wretchedly incommodious, un.
slightly, dangerous, and pestlence. breeding
Piers and Wharves, by structures which would
greatly facilitate Commerce, promote Public
Health, and prove the chief ornament and grace
of our City. In or under this bill, the publisher
Of this paper, who is also one Of stockholders,
was named as director Of tho proposed com.
pany. We do not SEQ why he had not an equal
right to be with others. If the measure is not
one Of the cIsayest and widest bsueiceuea. We

As the premium on Gold has for some weeks
ranged from 40 to 46 per cent, we spoke Of
those limits as measuring the depreciation Of
our Greenback Currency; whereupOn two of our
contemporaries solemnly inform us that this is
not accurate-that when Gold Is at "A per cent.
premium, Greenbacks are in fact but about so
per cent. discount. 1t is melancholy refec-
ton that persons so amazingly smart are not apt
to attain longevity. We submit to tho correc.
ton with all meekness, and only beg the priv.
lege hereafter of using words in their current
acceptation. We readily admit that our critics
are correct; but it 10 mt convenient to make the
calculation they insist on every time We have to
speak Of the depreciation Of our Currency; nor
can we deem it necessary. Ordinarily, it sub.
serves every purpose to speak Of our Currency

THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.

We have this morning highly important news
from Europe concerning the progress OF the
Atlantic Telegraph Expedition.
We have already announced that the snore

account of all the circumstances.
On the next day, Sunday, July 90, at 4;25 p.
m, the splice of the shore cable with tho main
cable on board the Great Eastern was COM
plcted, and the paying out from the Great East
ern commenced. All progressed very favorably
until Monday afternoon, when message was
received from the Great Eastern, dated 4;3O p.
M. announcing some defects Of insulation. A
"hitch," caused by the cable becoming, as 1t
were. knotted, or doubled up, moro from being
slack than taut, had taken place about four
miles from where the shore end was spliced 10
the main cable. One of the attendant steamers
was Immediately sent to discover the exact
locality of the hitch, and by A q. m. on Tuesday
morning the cable was again put in working
order and the Great Eastern, which had hove

shore, once more proceeded on her journey.
A few hours later, the Great Eastern tele-
graphed, in lat. $50 long. 100, that another de-
feet had been discovered, and that faulty piece
Of the wire on board the Great Eastern had to
be cut out and the cable to be re-spllced
After that the progress was successful. When
the last dispatch was received from the Great
Eastern, on Thursday July q, 300 miles Of
the cable had been laid, the signals were per-

entire success of the grand enterprise most en-

Our renovated Fire Department seems to be
winning favorable judgments from all quar-.
tiers. Mr.. Elisha Kingsland, its Chiei.Engi-

senior in that capacity. He is said to be a

machinery for extinguishing fires. Every good
citizen must hope that such may be the result.

THE KENTUCKY ELECTION.

Kentucky has doubtless witnessed many more
animated and arduous political contests-eer-
tanly, several wherein larger vote was polled-
but never one wherein her own and the country
weD.bcng were more deeply involved, than in
that which closes at her polls to-day. She has
q full delegation to the next Congress (House)
to elect, part of Senate, with an entire Assem-
bly,; but the entire interest Of the struggle
hinges on her ratification or rejection OF the
Constitutional Amendment abolishng and pro-
hbting Slavery throughout the Union. And
at this distance, the result seems exceedingly
doubtful.
The " Democratic and Conservative " opposi.
ton to that Amendment is very cleverly ensl'
neered 1t is careful tomake no issue with Presl-
dent johnson: on the contrary, it processes very
general and cordial friendship for his Admins
tration and policy. 1t does not even profess
generally to expect or desire that the vitality Oh
Slavery may be restored and its life prolonged
But it intrenches itself behind State Rights,
insists that each State should deal with Slavery
as it shall see fit. thinks tho shareholders enti'
tied to compensation for their vanishing prop
erty," and makes its principal fight on that
second clause of the Amendment which pre-
scribeS that
"Coprress shall have power to enforce this provision
Iaaanst future Slavery] by appropriate iegsia'oh'
There is everything wicked and dangerous
under this "white heap" say the Democrats
and Conservatives"-Negr Equality, Conseli-
dation, Negro Suffrage, &C., &c. Mainly on
this ground, they are making very effective
canvass. And then they have the advantage
in the most sharply contested districts. of run
ming the candidates hitherto supported as
Union" by the great mass Of the voters. Thus
in the Louisville District, we apprehend that
Gen. Rousseau may be beaten'for Congress by
the Hon. Robert Mallory, the late Member
though we are very confident that he could be
beaten by nobody else.

} that she may do so.
