THE ATLANTIC CABLE.

HALIFAX, Sept. LIT Gamble. royal navy
of her Majestyis steamship Urgent, in letter
to the Express, says the Urgent passed the 10
cality where the cable bu0ys are reported to
have been placed, and with the best lookout,
the officers and men saw none of them. He
concludes that, if the Great Eastern reckonings
were correct, the buoys must have parted from
the cable and drifted about the ocean.

from the Detroit Free Press.

From the Detroit Free Presa
Since when has A. j. been 80 popular with
the Democrats? And what has he done that
he should be blghted with their friendship.-
N. Y. Tribune.
The popularity Of President johnson
among the Democracy Is exactly proper
toned to his enunciation of democratic
principles. Principles and not men,"
has ever been favorite doctrine with the
Democracy, and at no time in the history
Of the country or of the party has the BEN
eicial effect of this cardinal principle been
more usefully shown than in their support
and praise Of man elected by their Oppo-
nents, and to that extent and for that req
son an object of the most sincere suspi-
cion. Thus, when he became President,
although he had not been the choice of the
Democratic party, he was left uncriticised
by the Democratic press until he foresha-
lowed his policy of reconstruction. The
Democracy first had some hopes Of him
when he in his speech referred to his past
record, and declared that he always had
been q Democrat and that he was too old
to change. He was, however, surrounded
by their opponents, and was indebted to
them for his election, and each step that
he took was waited for anxiously
and with serious doubts as to whether
he could or would shake himself clear of
the radical element. In each step he ap-
peared to be exerting himself in the con-
sentative and proper direction, and he was
encouraged in this by the praises and the
support of our party. At the same time
his action or rather want of it in other i'm
portant directions was freely exposed, and
he was urged to get at once back to the
Constitution and the laws. He was not
adopted, and is not yet, but the attitude
of the Democracy has been and simply is
this-they have rejoiced in every act or
word of President johnson which has
tended to relieve the country from its
enormous and unnecessary expenditure;
at everything which has tended to the
restoration of civil liberty and the perpe-
tuity Of Republican institutions, and, in
short, whenever and wherever he has
planted himself upon the sound principle
Of the platform Of the Democracy, chen
and there he has been given the applause
and friendship Of the Democrsta His
movements have been GLOW, and their ten
dency has not always been perfectly clear,
but they have been hopeful, and be has
never taken a step backwards They
have been conservative, and their ten
dency, when developed, has grown as he
progressed, more and more conservative
and Democratic each week. There Is no
necessity, for " adopting" him. The man
is nothing, except in the hands of Provi-
dence an agent to work out the problom
of the salvation Of our republican institu-
tons. His acts are what we praise. so
far as they deserve it, and should thew
culminste, as is portended, in the desxuc-
ton of that radical element which has
done 50 much North and Socth toward
the destruction Of the country, We can.
in Our delight and gratitude, say-avell
done, thou good and faithful servant.

FRED DOUGLASS FOR THE
PRESIDENCY.

History does not inform us that tho mental,
moral, or physical structure of man, has at
any time since his creation, undergone a
change. We assure ourselves that nothing
of the kind has occurred from the analoSies
of the difficult ages Of the world. For, II
such were the case, we would most certainly
have had our variety Of human dcvclope-
mcnts. Some of us as massive and illshapcn
as mountain, others dwarfSh beyond tue
comprehension Of the microscopic eye. we
remark, by way of parenthcsis, that We are
considering man in The abstract. t'
The different species Of his race, are dis
tinguishcd by their color, representing every
hue and shade, from ebony to,OlaboStcr How
this distinction originated we are unable to
disclose. Learned men differ on this point
some contending, that, occordin. to the crea-
tors design, that the white betokcns his pc
culiar favors' the black, intellectual inicri-
orty and ubordination-ot others, that color
is determined entirely by calorc and anti"
caloric agencies. II the former conclusion
is corrcct, color is the sure Indicator of tai
ont aud IL the latter, II Is basis for mnthc-
NAUTICAL predictions Of distances 10 the caloric
centre. However, wo incline TO the litter
conclusion, as. We have no authority for the
belief either from any record Of sacred gn1
profanc history, or any scientific discovery,
that mans .,ncn,al powers are gradoted by
II Is only short Tina since We, the (peoplc
of the United States) threw aside our preju-
diees and silly notions about color and dis
covered that Anglo-Ssxon blood Is not more
honorable and cxnlting than that which cour'
scs through snblc.bodiod children Of the
Sun. Asa consequence, we have unlcosed
the shacklcs Of their thralldom, md vindica-
ted the granduer and dignity of their in'clli-
gencc. In tceonstructing our shattered un-
ion, we have rejected those institutions when
scared their sensibiltlos, and denied them

Tho Alabama .Clnims-Caleb. Cushing's
Mission.
From the London Times 18th.

Amid all the excitement which at
tends the reconstruction Of the United
States and the settlement of some OF
the most difficult questions which have
ever pressed upon people, the Amcri.
cans still fluid leisure to talk and TO
write angrily about the ravages of the
Alabama and their consequent claims
on the British Government. There is
no use in concealing that, as far as the
utterances of their press and the tono
of their private conversation indicate
their temper, there is as much determ-
nation on their part to uphold these
claims as there is on our part to reject
them. ...-t. .,,..,
81 x The report that Mr.. Cush-
ing would shortly leave for England
on a mission to assistin the settlement
of these claims still continued. Should
the United States think fit thus to re-
inforce Mr.. Adams, we have no doubt
that our own Government will be glad
to consider any subject which Mr..
Cushing may lay before it, though we
cannot SEQ what scope there is for
discussion with respect to the princi-
pal matters in dispute. The best re
mover of these difficultiesis time, and
We trust that tho Americans will be
brought by timc and reflection to re-
sumo thcirgood will for both the great
European Powers, between which and
them there is now temporary cool
ness. England has been tho innocent
means of their losing for q time
large portion of their carrying trade,
and France has set upa monarchy
and establis he'd foreign occupation
on their very borders. The tendency
-of both people and Government is TO
complain of European treatment, and
there arc not wanting some who be-
lievo that serious events may grow
out of their resentment. We cannot
share in any such apprchensions, We
know that both our, .neighbors and
ourselves arc anxious to live on terms
of peace and unity with all the States
of the New World, and that being the
case, that tho American people have
received and will receive, no wllful
provocation. Such causes Of differ
ence as nowsexfst grow weaker, with
every day pf@tilcction.

flaming chcrubim that guards the

marble slab lying on n level with the
ground and incloscd by low iron
fence covers the ashes ofthe once proud

thing that tells whose bones rest

committed by three men, the names Of whom,
are VIM. NJ. Huse, VIM. N. Nelson, and Abram
Burkett The Sheriff and his party, got up
on their track, and about 2 o'clock this morn
ing, came upon them at tue house of Mr..
Hulse. They were we'll armed, and refused
to surrender. Several attempts were made to
get them out Of the house, but all proved
fruitless until the Sheriff ordered the house
ODE set on FIRE, which being done, they sur.
rendered, and were brought in and safely
lodged in the Jail in this place. Summary
punishment was advocated by some to bv
meted out to these debased murd erers, but
enough Of mob has been witnessed-and VIC
hope the law will be permitted to take its
course-as with the present evidence in tho
case, they cannot possibly escape the punish
ment they so justly deserve. We deprecato
this unfortunate and terrible affair, as our
community has, for the past several months,
been quiet, and appeared to be returning to
the peaceful status of former years. Exam
Piles will be made, and crime will be put down
by the stern hand Of justice-after which,
may we not hope for better state sof af-
fairs.
