average of IA miles per hour. The total
slack was less than II per cent. The wealth
er has been more unpleasant than have ever
known on the Atlantic at this season of the
year. We have had alternate days of rain,
sunshine, fogs and squalls.
We have been in constant communication
with Valentia since the splice was made on

from Europe, which was posted up outside OF
the telegraph Office for the information of all
on board of the Great Eastern, and signaled
to the other ships.

sail for the spot where the cable was lost last
year, recover the end and complete q second
line between Ireland and Newfoundland, and
then the Midway will proceed to lay the new
cable across the Gulf of St. Lswrepce. The
cable will be open for business in q few days,
and all messages will be sent to Europe in the

and lie who rules the winds and the waves

success. CYRUS w. FIELD.

SENATOR PATTERSON OF TKNNlssKE.-Our
Washington correspondent has in his usual
weekly letter, alluded to the admission Of the
Representa-. es from Tennessee, as well as
Senator Fowler, about whom there was no
question 10 respect TO their ability to take the
test oath. The case of Mr.. Patterson, the re-
naming Senator elect from Tennessee, was
referred to tn, Judiciary Committee, and
Judge Poland reported, for it, declaring that
Daniel >. Patterson was duly qualified and
enitled to hold seat in the U. S. Senate. )"
This resolution was opposed by Mr.. Trumbull,
also OF the Judiciary COMMITTEES, and other
Senators, on the ground that Mr.. Patterson
was not g. duly qualified that 1t was prac-
tlcally Ignoring the test oath on the first oc-
casion tor It's enforcement, &c. The Senate
finally changed the resolution to one suspend
ing SO much of the test osth as was thought
to exclude him. This action of the Senate
must of course 20 to the House for its concur.
renee. and a most interesting debate thereupon
sprang up. AT its conclusion, the House, by
the decided vote of SO to 81, tabled the reso-
la lion. As a last resort to get MIR. Patterson
In, Judge Poland, Saturday morning, insisted
upon introducing as question of privilege
the resolution declaring that Daniel ). Pat
terson of Tennessee was entitled I'd seat in
the Senate. After some discussion, in which
Mr.. Wade opposed the admission of Mr.. Pat
terson in severe language, the question on the
resolution was taken with the following re-
suit:
Yeas-Messrs. Buckalew, Cowsn, Davis,
Doolittle, Edmunds, Fessenden, Foster, Gu
thrie, Harris, Henderson. Howe, johnson ,
kirkwood, Lane, Norton, Poland, Riddle,
Sherman, Van Wlnkie, Wiley and Williams
-2l.
Nays-Messrs. Chandler, Creswell. How
ard, Nye, Pomeroy, Ramsey, Ross, Sumner,
Trumbul Wade and Iates-ll.
So the resolution was agreed to, and soon
after, on motion of Senator Johnson, M Pat
terson went to the table of the presiding off,
Ger, MIR. Foster, and took the oath, test oath
included, without hlncling.

AN EXPLANATION.

Mr. EDITOR My letter dated the 9th

FINAL OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES DKCoRUM.
Toward twelve or one O'Clock the galleries
began to become empty, only few stragglers
remaining and they soon fell asleep. The re-
porters however. were as wide awake as ever,
and eagerly catching the jokes of all as they
rapidly few around. A stranger would have
been 10th to believe that this noisy undigni-
fed body was the House of Representatives
of the United States. Little business was TO
be doue, and it was only necessary to wait for
some committees in conference to report. The
time was variously taken up. One member
after another became 30 thoroughly exhausted
as to drop of in sleep. The sofas all round
the room were filed with members in. various
attitudes. The distinguished chairman of the
Committee of Ways and Means, was stretched
at full length On one of these, completely ex-
hausted by his most arduous labors, and evil
IDENTIFY having all his work done. as in any
other event he would not even have trusted
himself out of his seat. The morning hour
of Friday commenced about TWO o'clock on
Saturday morning, and the efforts of the COM
mittees to report were very ludicrous, for gen.
orally no quorum could be obtained, and when
there could, there was SO much opposition to
having b LIS rushed through 80 rapidly, that
very little was accomplished.
During ali this time the House was in WON
derful confusion, and in some parts of the
Hall it was impossible for any one to nod
without having gentle reminder in the shape
of q large bunch of paper hit him in the side
of the head. The bald headed men were par
ticularly troubled, for their smooth heads pre-

The REPUBLICAN CAUCUS PRooRAME.-The
republicans Of Congress have resolved among
other things in caucus to provide by law
First-That no name shall be placed on the
roll of the next Congress except from States
entitled to representation by law.
Second-That no electoral votes shall be
counted for President and Vice President
Qs6s) cast by any State excluded from Con-
gress.
7hird-That the first session Of the Forticth
Congress, instead Of meeting in December, as
usual, shall meet on the 4th of March next, at
the close Of the present Congress.
Considering, therefore, thai the House by
an overwhelming majority has resolved to ad-
here to the pending constitutional amendment
as the basis of Southern restoration, this pro-
gramme simply means that the excluded States
shall have no voice in Congress or in the
approaching Presidential election, unless they
abandon meantime their present declared pur-
pose Of holding out against the amendment
ITO this complexion they must come at last, y
and the sooner the better. This Is the whole
case In nutshell.

THE PrcAYuNf PoLrcr OF RADICAL CONGRESS-
MEN.-Some of the members Of Congress are
making themselves very contemplate and
ridiculous by their exhibition Of small spite
against the President. Sumner makes propo-
sition 10 take all the negotiations in relation
to Mexico out Of the hands Of the Executive
and transfer them to Congress for its action.
Another radical wishes to take from the Presi-
dent the appointing power and vest II in the
Supreme Court or somewhere else. All this is
very absurd. The constitution confers certain
powers on the President with which Congress
has no right to interfere, and II II can by n
forced construction Of any words 10 that instru-
ment set up pretence Of any such right, this
s no time to exercise it. There is earnest
work before the country. The great popular
voice has finally settled the policy Of the ma
ton, and the picayune carping and spiteful-
ness OF Sumner, Boutwell,, Stevens and their
followers will only serve to irritate and disgust
the people.

Too MUCH ABOUT THE PRESIDENT AND THE
Srons-The small politicians Of both houses
Of Congress have taken the start and secured
the precedence to their petty schemes Of spite
against President Johnson, In the matter Of the
distribution Of the spOils. We would remind
the more sensible republicans. Of Congress,
however, that, in addition to Southern recon-
struction, the revision Of our financial and
taxation systems and the rectifcation Of our
foreign affairs are measures OF higher i'm
portance than these psltry schemes Of party
vengeance against President Johnson. As the
President Is defeated, and as the two branches
are all-powerful, they should exercise their
power at least with dignity and decorum.
