Mr., McGary, of the Brennan Banner, thus dis
courses in that paper, of the 5th:
Nearly three weeks ago we were fined two hun.
dred dollars and the bureau man declared that
we should remain prisoner until the fine was
duly paid In that, however, his bureaushlp has
lied; we have not paid one cent Of the fine nor
have we retracted or even qualified anything we
had published either Of the bureau or its employees.
Yet we are at liberty Ctaig has surrendered his
fine, and has backed down from his threats of
continued imprisonment.
He may now console himself with the reflection
that his power and prestige are departed from
him forever-that he is detested but not feared by
the citizens of tGis community, and tdat even the
negroes look upon him wi feelings in which pity
and contempt are about equally mingled.
The civil law again asserts its supremacy-tht
citizen once more brealhes an atmosphere of lib
erty, and our right TO edit free and Independent
paper is lulIy vindcated.

Scraps from the National Republican.

We remember having written an article
upon the success Of al Atlantic cable Il
few wears ago, in which we hallclulahcd
muchly, as 4. Ward would say. Guess
we'll wait this time 10 see how the thing
works.
As a brilliant specimen of the wisdom
Of our late lamcntcd Congress, we men
ton an instance illustrative Of the aston
ishing aStutcncsS of its members. The Sc
cond section of the bill for the cqualila-
ton Of soldiers hounticS, which was hnr-
ricd through both Houses Just previous to
their adjournment, states that all soldiers
cnli>tiug subsequent to April 10, lNGl, for
a term Of not less than two years, and who
served that period, or who were h"norably
discharged for wounds received in the ser
vice, and who were by existing laws OF the
United States entitled to receive Il bounty
of iit,v dollars, ant 10 mare, shall be paid
an additional bounty 81 fifty dollars. AN
the United States has never offered any
such bounty, the second section of the act
for the equalization Of bounticS is there
fore entirely imperative, as will be de-
cided by the Second Comptroller Of the
Treasury Department withina few days.
Is there anything over the cable this
morning, my boy!
IcS-a weight Of water lies over 1t.
Well, that is better than the lies over

Tho Lost CabIc-Intcresting Dispatch

"llEARr'S CONTENT, July 20, ria Aspcy
Bay, July Gothic following are extracts
from the journal Of the Great Eastern:
All went well until twenty minutes past
y on the 18th Greenwich timc), when
the first real shock was given 10 the sue
cess that has hitherto attended us, and
this time we had real cause to be alarmed.
4 foul fake took place in the aiter-tank.
The engine was Immediately turned astcrn,
and the paying of the cable stopped. We
were all soon N thc decks, and learned that
the running and paying out of the coil mad
caught three turns of the flake mlmcdl-
atcly under ii, carried them into the eye
of the coil, fouling the toy-out, and haul
ing up Onc-half turns from the out
side and five turns OF the eye OF the
under flakes. This was stopped, for
tunatcly, before entering the p~aying-out
machine shoppers Of hemp, with chains,
were also put on near the wheel ~astcrn,
and Mr.. Canning gave orders to stand by
10 let 90 the buoy. This was not very
cheering to hear; but though the calm
and collected man gave us confidence that
his skill and experience would eXtrlcatc
the cable from the danger in which 1t was
placed, no fishing line was ever cntanglcd
more than the rope when thrust up i'll ap-
parcntly hopeless danger from the eye OF
the cable to the deck. There were at
least five thousand feet of rope lying III
this state, and in the midst OF the rain and
increasing wind the cable crew set to work
to disentangle il. The Dolphin was there
too, patiently following the lights as they
showed themselves, the crew now passing
them forward and now aft, until ut last the
character of the tanglc was seen, and soon
it became apparent that ere long the caDle
would be saved and uninjurcd down to the
tank

DELEGATES TO II PHILADELPHIA Coz
yEXTIoN.-TwO district meetings were held
in Washington Tuesday night to elect
delegates to the Philadelphia Convention
one at German Hall, under the auspices of
the National Democratic Association, and
the other at City Hall, under the call Of
conservative citizens, without distinction
of party. An effort was made by a joint
committee TO unite the two meetings,
which failed.
The City Hall meeting finally adjourned
without c~lccting delegates, but appointed a
committee TO wait on the National Union
Executive Committee to induce them to
issue a general call for Il meeting, in order
TO elect delegates.
The German Hall Democratic meeting
elected as delegates Joseph II. Bradley,
John +. Norris, Richard 7. Mcrrick, and
Is. Il. Stewart and as alternatcs, Richard
Wallach, John B. Blake, Chas. Allen, and
Jonas ID. Hoover.

General Grant fnvors Maryland.

WASnINGToN, July 3l.-A report was
made TO the Frccdmcn's Bureau Il short
time ago by an agent at Annapolis, Md, OF
interference with the operations at that
place by the white citizens. General
Howard presented the report to General
Anger, commanding this military depart
mcnt, and asked for Il company OF white
troops to assist the agent in the discharge
Of his official duties. General Anger re-
tcrrcd the matter to General Grant, with
whom General Howard had a personal i'll
tcrvicw. General Grant declined to fur
nish the troops on the ground that Mary
land was not one of the lately inSurrcc-
tionary States in which the army is re-
quircd to support the Bureau and, more
over, that he was opposed to the interior
cncc of the military whenever it could be
avoided, such interference only tending to
increase the evils it attempts to allay, and
cXcitcS the people to increased bitterness.
