JAY CooKE.-Ths gentleman has demon
stra.ed to the world his great ability as f.
nancier, and has certainly been remarkably
successful in his negotiations of public secu-
rites. He is possessed of vast amount of
native shrewdness, far-sightcdness and ener-
gy. These qualifications brought him prom
nently before the Secretary of the Treasury
in the early history Of our national loans.
and when it was difficult matter for the Gov
eminent to procure a sufficient amount of mo-
ney to sustain itself Mr. Cooke was then ap-
pointed General Subscription agent, and i'm
medately applied all his energies to the sue
cess of. the work entrusted to him. He spent
large sums in advertising, in the distribution
of circulars, handbills, &c the employment
of travellers, and in establishing sub-agencies
throughout the United States. 1t has always
been his policy to have our loans taken at
home, that our own people should have the
advantage Of the interest, and he has at no
time solicited subscriptions from abroad. The
most perfect success crowned Mr.. COOKIES
Efforts. Under his agency, dating about
February l, 1868, and ending January %,
1864, the $50 loan was sold up to $514,7s0,-
500.
The sale Of the 10. 40 and 100 loans thro'
he National Bank agency was so small that
he agency was again given to M COOKE,

banks did in eight months. The sales of
Government loans under his management

ET Maj. General Hancock has just issued
orders requiring all paroied prisoners of the
late rebel armies, who have not been pardon

by their paroles to enter this department, they
cannot remain here without the permission of
General Hancock, or some higher power hav-
ing authority in the premises. Commanding
officers of districts may grant pc rmission to
persons under parole to visits points within
their respective districts. and permission to 60

headquarters in that city. Any evasion of
this order is to be Immediately reported to

The Atlantic telegraph.

The world is at present interested in this
grand undertaking, and the arrival of the
Great Eastern at Hearts Content with the
Western terminus of the cable in good work
ing order would send thrill of joy throughout
the Universe Its failure would be sad dis
appointment, as the public have been led to
believe that the defects which existed in the
old cable have been avoided in this one, and
that its successful operation has been fully
demonstrated by repeated experiments.
The shore end of the cable was landed on
the morning of the ODD of July, at Valentia,
ireland, and connections were made with the
instrument ut 12-45 P. NJ, in the presence
Of large concourse of people. At III o.
clock in the evening the heavy shore cable,
twenty-seven miles in length, had been laid by
the Carolina On the Odd the splice was
made with the main cable on board the Great
Eastern, and at half past four in the afternoon
shc commenced paying out, II. NJ. S. Terri
BILE and Sphynx accompanying. On the 24th
u message was received from the Great East
crn, announcing some defects of insulation.
which was supposed to be the result of the
Great Eastern having pulled on her end of the
cable with too much strain before the splice
was properly completed. The cable was then
underrun and repaired and the paying out
commenced again. The lates: Intelligence
from the Great Eastern is up to 10 o'clock Oh
the morning of the 2Sth when she was $50
miles out from Valentia and had payed out
500 miles of the cable. The signals were
good and the weather very fine.
It was calculated that ten days would be
ample time to complete the work of laying the
cable, but already eighteen days have passed
and We have as yet heard no tidings of the
Great Eastern. A few days more will doubt
less decide the question, and we will either
be in daily communication with the Old
World, or the Atlantic telegraph will be left
to the genius and energy of a future genera
ton.

ES- Quite number of prominent Journals
are finding great deal of fault with the ac-
ton of General TERRY, in multiplying the
Richmond elections. Unfortunately they lose
right of the reasons assigned by GEN. TERRY
for his action. 1t was not that the successful
candidates had been Rebel soldiers, or that
they we're disloyal Qhough either is reason
sufficiently but because "the issue was dis
tinctly made and openly avowed, at said cleo
ton, as between those men who had aided
and abetted in the war against the United
States authority, and those who had, with
their lives, defended the flag of our country,
&c"
The successful candidates had taken the
required oaths, and legally purgcd themselves
of treason. But how could any one reasona-
bly, expect that men who had cursed the
Union life. time, who had fought against our
government during the four years of the re-
bellion, and who hate the very principles of
freedom, could at once change their natures,
and become loyals As well might leopard
try to change his spots. These men are nc
more loyal to-day than when engaged in shoot
ing, hanging, and starving Union men, and
they only wait opportunity to prove the truth
of this assertion. The cause which they lost
on the battlefield was brought forward for en-
dorsement at the ballot-box While they con-
fnrmcl tn the laws Of the country lust far
enough to avoid disqualifying themselves. the
candidates, and those who voted for them
used the ballot as the test of the hatred and
detcstation they bore the government. and
their approval of the armed treason it had
overthrow. Gen. TERnY's action was we'll
timed, and must be fully endorsed by every
one who wishes to have the welfare and safe
ty Of his country secured.

Tragedy in Bedford.

On Tuesday of last week, a fatal ARRAY oc-
Cured in Bedford. Pennsylvania, resulting
in the death of JAcoB Grouse, an ex-dcputy
Provost Marshal. 1t appears tn t one JOHN
P. REID, Jr, bitter Rebel, had some time
since assaulted Mr.. GROUSE, and in common
with his traitor friends, took advantage of
every opportunity to insult him, at one time
beating and bruising him terribly. On the
day of the murder, they met on the street,
and after some words had passed between
them, REID drew apisto, when Grouse caught
up stone and threw it striking REID on the
the hip. REID Immediately fired, the ball
entering CRousE's left shoulder, passing down
through the lung and producing instant death.
The murderer, and his brother, an accomplice,
have been arrested and are in Jail.
