GAS AS A DIsINFEorANT.-The statement
which has been going the round of the ia.
pers, that the gas used for Illuminating pur.
poses is disiniectant, and will prevent
cholera, is worthy of consideration. Its et
fcacy in this respect has not been tested as
far as we have heard, 1t is said to be pre-
ventivc of yellow fever In 1856 when this
disease was prevailing at Norfolk, the super.
intendent of the gas works there, removed
his family to the gas house and kept them
there. He would not allow any OF the Ia.
borers employed in the works to leave except
when compelled to do So The air at the
works was constantly impregnated to a
greater or less extent with gas. No person
living at the works was attacked with the
disease, whilst scarcely family in the city,
outside Of the gas works, escaped. If it
should be found TO be disinfectant of
cholera, it will be happy thing, for a small
jet in each house will be sufficient to imprcg
nate the air Of the whole house.

NICHOLSON ON RACES.

Mr.. Nicholson, of this State, recently
made n speech in Congress, in which he in
corporated sort of dissertation on traces -
The New York Tribune, in noting this effort
of "the Representative from Delaware, -
thus disposes of "the speech:"-
Mr. Nicholson of Delaware and NJ II. r.
seem to be in possession of information
which has not yet reached the public zen.
orally. Mr.. Nicholson objects to making
'whites" and "blacks" constitutionally and
legally equal. Mr. Nicholson affirms that
'the races are entirely distinct MI Mich.
olson, having eyes TO see, ought 10 know
better. The two races are about as distinct
as Saxons, Anglo -SaXons Cclts and Nor.
mans-races years ago so beautifully blended
that we question whether Mr.. Nicholson
knows, or could guess with any approxima
ton to accuracy, to which he himself be-
longs, the fact being, probably, that he be-
longs to all four Much he knows about it,
however,
We affirm that the late "servle race, " as
1t is called, is no race at all. Some of its
members are black, some yellow, some white
enough to pass in crowd, and some color
less enough TO pass in select and small
party. The less said about distinctions ="
the better, when we have the quadruon, the
nluidtto, the mestzO, ana all manner ot tlaC-
iional tints, with not few OF the late slaN es
more nearly colorless than their late masters.
Does Mr. Nicholson need to be informed
that The only real people of "color" are
those having mixed blood, and not belong
ing TO any pure Grace" whatever? Mr.
Richard M. johnson, once Vice President.
is currently believed to have had two sets Of
children-a dark-colored set and light.col
ored set. Yet OF the blood Of this warrior
and statesman, of this killer OF Tecumseh
and ruler over the United States Senate, the
darks and the lights had an equal share.
Quodd Colonel Johnson, there was no "dis.
unctionn TO be fairly drawn between them.
Now if Mr.. Nicholson is so stubbomly de-
voted to his theory OF races, considering
white blood to be such an aristocratizing
fluid, we beg leave to ask him if il be not 4
great sin and shame 10 deny to the really
eotored that right which Col. johnson 50
priced that he would have somahawked the
man bold enough to deny it? So that we
must really have practical ethnologsts at
the polls 10 decide upon the blood OF voters,
or we must keep a certain amount Of white
blood from voting at ALL Under such cir
cumsiances, does Mr.. Nicholson really think
il worth while 10 keep up these delicate
distinctions

Arrived at Hearts Content at s a. m,
Friday, July q.
The average speed of the ship, from
the time the splice was made until we
saw land, was little less than five nau-
tcal miles per hour, and the cable has
been paid out at an average OF IL
miles per hour Total slack, less than
Il per cent.
The weather has been more unpleas-
ant than have ever known on the At
lautic at this season of the year. We
have had alternate days Of rain, sun
shine, fogs and squalls.
We have been in constant Communica-
ton with Valentia since the splice was
made on the 18th inst, and have daily
received news from Europe, which was
posted up outside the telegraph office
for the information of all on board the
Great Eastern and signalled to the other
ships.
After taking in Goals the telegraph
feet will sail for the spot where the
cable was lost last year, and recover the
end and complete a second line between
Ireland and Newfoundland, and then
the Midway will proceed to lay the new
cable across the Gulf of st. Lawrence.
The cable will be open for business IN
few days, and all messages will be sent
to Europe in the order in which they are
received at Hearts Content.
l cannot find words suitable to con-
vey nay admiration for the men who
have so ably conducted the nautical, en-
cheering and electrical departments OF
this enterprise, amid difficulties which
must have been seen to be appreciated
In fact, all on board OF the telegraph
feet and ali connected with the enter
prise on shore have done their best to
have the cable made and laid in a per
feet condition, and He who rules the
winds and the waves has crowned theiI
united efforts with perfect success.
