Is fair type Of those lOgcians who cOnserya

bis yet unserged sOphisms deserve TO be treated to
death with the instrument they invoke.
Mr.. Browning opposes all amendment OF the Con-

instances He objects to changing the basis of repre-
.enatOn, because aggregate population is its true
basis Then why not disperSe from the letter Of the

neither uniranchised women nor foreigners can vote,

voice In representation save through their owners,
who are not expected 10 vote against their own bar

pect to vote which is accorded TO foreigners Of any
class unless we assure il to them. Hence the nation
Is heartily In favor Of restoring 10 tho negro the frac

Of law interest aud justice make oil races friends, or

II will be seen from SIR. Cyrus Fields letter, pub
lished this morning. tst from the LIST November next
the charges for messages by the Atlantic Cable will be
reduced fifty per cent. This Is wise step on the part
of the Directors Of the Atlantic Telegraph Company
and il will doubtless result in increased gains, as
great many people hitherto deferred from making use
Of the cable owing to the very high charges, will nov
avail themselves Of the advantages il offers in business
and otherwise. The present rates are simply pro-
hbitory to the public at large and even at the lower
mark soon to come into operation, the charge will DO
sufficiently heavy tax upon moderate resources.
The undertaking Of laying the cable has been costly
one and It is only fair that the men who have fur
nshed the means for carrying it through should re-
ceye an adequate return for Die capital invested at
such great rsk But il is not TOO much 10 expect that
in the course Of time further reduction will be made
and the usefulness of the cable be thus greatly in

Of the tariff will bring large an accession Of busi-
ness and profits a. may lead TO such result at no

and tho Injured South is becoming all the while more
and more holly impatient of the condition which is
her present doom. Let matters 60 on for two or

dreadful war that the men Of the South not foe

cruel causeless Rebellion, which cost the North
