THE ATLANTIC CABLE.

We have now the official announcement that
the attempt to lay the Atlantic Cable VIII
be renewed next year. Both the Cable Com
pany and the Cable Construction Company feel
sanguine as to the ultimate success OF the enter
prise. The Cable Construction Company have
offered 10 commence at once the manufacture
of a new cable. and the Directors OF the Cable
Company have unanimously accepted thispropo-
sal. The old cable is at the same time to be
completed, so as TO have next Summer two per-
feet cables. The manufacture OF the new cable
has already begun.
Capt Anderson of the Great Eastern has
received an offer from the Cable Construction
Company to command the Great Eastern for
five years in laying cables and he has accepted
the offer. Capt Anderson, as stated in his let
ter, which was published few weeks ago III
The TRIBUNE, feels very hopeful as to the COM
plete success of the next attempt. lie regards
the cable as perfect, with the only exception
of penetration of the gutta percha core by
pieces of wire, and this fault will be carefully
guarded against in the manufacture OF the new
cable He, moreover, expects to sail next yeai
with more efficient graphing gear, which Ii
case of any defect being discovered will not ex
pose the cable, while being hauled in, to The
same accident which this year proved fatal.
The unshaken hope and courage which thu
Telegraph Company have evinced in the grea
trial through which they have passed, will chal
lenge universal admiration and raise the warm
est sympathy everywhere for the success
their new attempt.

can practically take charge of the enterprise by
running their Great Western road to Fond du
Lac. and thence unite with the Northern Pacific
Railroad. This line, it is true, is in the United
States but il lies on the British American
border. and for all purposes of trade is British
American road. Or if they prefer an enterprise
more English, let them run their road from OF
tawa to Lake Superior and thence by water
carry freight to Fond du Lac. The opportunity
is with them; and if they wish to do something
Napoleonic Eve use this un-English word In
purely English sense), let them take hold OIL the
enterprise.
1t makes but little difference to us whether
our English friends leave their money behind OF
not. We would like to see English capital
in this country, because every investment
brings US nearer toGreat Britain. We seek TINS
union in the interest of peace and civilization.
With an American railroad carrying freight from
Montreal to Puget Sound binding England's
great Atlantic capital with her probable naval
depot at Vancouver's Island, perpetual peace
would be assured between the United States and
EngIand; or, iu the event OF war, we shouio
have the Canadas on the good behavior OF neu'
trails. 1t would be a fair exchange. England
proposes to give us a telegraph to London; We
propose to give England railway from Mon
treal to her possessions on the Pacific. We
shall do this ourselves, sooner or later But Il
our friends on the junketing trip through the
West, wish to achieve the greatest enterprise OF
the age, they have it in their power TO take
instant hold and assist in the work.

THE CHOLERA.

The American Minister TO Constantinople,
Mr.. +. JOY Morris, having in his dispatches
strongly urged the taking of precautionary
measures with regard to the cholera, Secretary
Seward has forwarded the last letter OF MIR.
Morris to the Governors of the different States,
accompanied by the following circular note:

WARRINGTON. Sept. l. 1865.
S,p yonr Excellepcy's serious attention is invited
IN the ACCOMMODATING letter Of the Acting SurgeonGen

sUpERsERVICEARLE.

The Daiiv Ne,cs was, from the beginning to
the end ofthe late Shareholders Rebellion, its un-
mistakable New-York organ. No act OF " Presl-
dent Davis" was ever condemned in Its edi-
toras no pretension of that potentate was too
mous,rous or absurd to receive its absolute, un-
hesitating support. That its editor last year
received S25, 900 in gold from Confederate
leader in Canada, is proved and not denied.
He to-day insists that Wirz is persecuted man,
and that the Rebels, when prisoners OF war;
were treated as badly and killed as last as
our men were in Rebel prison-camps. Ihls
organ of the playcd-out Confederacy now
showers President Johnson daily with praises
whereof the following are specimens:
at wonld seem that the President having Determined
upon the emnently wise and patriotic policy wnch ne
announced in his Mississippi dispatch ana IN ms h'e Ie
py 10 the Southern delegations is resolved 10 lose no
lime in vigorously enforcing that policy in the ad
minstration of the Government. IL is amusing ~
witness the illconceaed dissatisfaction ana aalu
which the Radicals display in view OF these unlslak M
abe evidences nf the Presidents sbandonnent OF tne
angerous theories and practices which have 80 iohg
prevailed at Washington and Of his return 10 m nus
ancient faith in the doctrine OF state Rights ana 'ne
copscty of the people for sefgoyernment.
We cannot beerudge them the harmless pleasure OF
attempting to deceive themselves and their readers 1y
the ingenious interpretations which they put upon 'ne
Presidents declarations and acts. They can 90 no
HARM for they cannot deceive any one not even them
selves"
And who docs not perceive the new energy, the
power with which the President seems TO nave Deeh en-
dowed by the fact that he steps once more upon hs ma
tive heath and broathes again the pure air oi the Con
stitution With all our heart We congratulate the
country upon the Frightening prospects ahead anu &c,
venty hope that the President will perse'ere In wen
doing unto the scry end.
The broad insinuation OF this Rebel oracle
that President Johnson has been wandering and
strayipg deceived and perverted, while acting
with the Union party is too impndent to pass
nnrcbnked.

Here Unionist journal coolly assumes that
the Southern caste which has determincdly
notoriously, devoted four years to desperate,
desolatng effort to divide and destroy the
Union, constitute "the South, to the exclusion
of that decided majority of the people OF several
States. that very large proportion of the people
of all the States lately in revolt, who never
sympathized with the Rebellion, but gave their
prayers and their best efforts to the triumph oi
the Union. OF so fragrant and unjust mis-
representation The Times has no right to be
guilty.
THE TRIBUNE is called Radical; yet it has
never demanded mole than that the Unionists
of the South shall be put on footing OF political
equality with those who instgated and upheld
the Rebellion. Is this unreasonable? Give
mower in the South to the uhole People, and we
insist that they are not "untit to be trusted;

HONEST VOTING.
The Uorid asks:

"whai reason caa be assigned why the same proofs
of citizenship which suffice the rural districts not
sufficient in the city of New'iorkt
! Ansner.-This reason-that a vote is rarely
or never offered at a rural poll by any one who
! is not well known to active members of each
party there present; while in this City THOUSANDS
Of votes are annually offered by men who are
utterly unknown to all those in attendance at
the polls. Hence the absolute necessity for
greater precautions and safeguards against ille-
gal voting in cities than are required in rural
districts.
We voted in this City at nearly every election
for twenty years, and knon that votes in great
numbers were offered at each well-conteSted
election by men OF whom no one present of our
party had any previous knowledge whatever
They came up-said they lived at such or such
place in the district-and voted; usually un-
challenged; but, if challenged some Sworc in !;
others went away. Suppose we went next day
TO the place given by a voter as his residence,
and ascertained that it was not-what then
The vote vas polled and counted; the voter
was gone and undiscOverable. Thus was Henry
Clay beaten in 1914. In Sc, the Democratic
candidate for Congress in the upper district OF
our CITY received votes with the Democratic
charter ticket for the Ist Ward, creating strong
presumption that the voter began at the Bat
terv in the morning and voted up to Harlem
Bridge. And there will always be such voters
while our laws profer them impunity.
Since 1852, we have voted i'll a rural district
which polls some 225 votes. In tie twelve
years of our voting at its poll, we judge that
there have not been twelve illegal votes ALTERED
there; and for The good reason that whoever
comes to that poll is knorn by members OF
each party there present. Ii he is young, some
know whether he is over or under age; if new
conner, they know how long he has been a resi-
dent; if Of foreign birth, they know that he
has or has not been naturalized. Hence, pre-
cautions against illegal voting which are here
indispensable would there be needlessly vexa-
tious and absurd. Besides there is grave
difference between requiring the personal at
tendance of voters when the most distant lives
within stonethrow of the place Of registra-
tion and requiring it when many live six or
eight miles Of, and must lose half day by
The HorA understands the matter. II knows
that nine-tenths of tho "bummers," vagrants,
sharpers and loalers who have taste
for illegal voting, ,habitually vote the Democratic
ticket. Hence it Is naturally anxious to leave
.he bars down, or put them up as loosely a'
possible. What it really wants is no re gistra-
ion at all.

Mr.. Sumner was President Of the Convention.
In our long report we give to his speech all tho

They further declare that the people lately IN

power till they have proved their acceptance oil
the results of the war, and have secured by
Constitutional provisions to all men among
them their inalicnable rights. The
Resolutions were evidently written with care,
