THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.

The Chairman of the Anglo American
Telegraph Company sends to the London
Times an explanation of the delay and
uncertainty in the transmission of telc-
graphic messages by the cable. He says
that the lines through Newfoundland and
across the Gulf of st. Lawrence are so de-
fective in their insulation that the power
of transmitting messages ceases during the
continuance of rain, fog or unusual
humidity of the atmosphere. and the posts
on which the wires are suspended are iu-
sufficient to resist high winds. New in
struments and men have been sent out,
and the defects will soon be overcome,
so that the charges will soon be reduced
one. half
The communication between London
and Valentia can be perfected in short
time and at small cost. Thence to New
foundland the two cables as now laid more
than meet the requirements, present and
prospective: but thence onward it is be-
lieved that new submarine cable will
have to be laid from Placeptia Bay, New
foundland. to Halifax nd Boston. OF 9th.
or points in the UDitod States BY such
measures London and New York will be
placed in almost instant electrical COM
munication, as regular and Certain as now
exists between Ireland and Newfound-
land.
In cordance with the above, the re-
vised tariff for telegraphic messages be-
tween Great Britain aud America came
Into operation on the LIST instant. Mes
sages Of twenty words or less (uclul:ng
the name and address ofthe sender and
receiver and not exceeding in all 100
letters, are now charged $50. In longer
messages, each word in excess of the 20
is charged los /; and double rates are i'm.
posed upon dispatches in code or cipher.

late no law nor fail to perform the duties
which are legally devolved upon him, be
will veto every bill that he may regard
unconstitutional, no matter how unpopu-
lar it may be for him to do SO. but he
will execute with INSCRIPTIONS fidelity
all laws, aud especially those to which he
has declined to give his official sanction.
The apprehensions which you seem to feel
and which many Others share with you
that Mr.. Johnson will attempt to force
Southern Representatives into Congress
or do any other imprudcnt thing by which
the public peace will be disturbed, is en-
tirely unfouuded. While he will exercise
fearlessly the power which he possesses
under the Constitution in furtherance of
the measures which he tninks are best
calculated to promote the public veal, he
will not quarrel with Congress for pursu-
ing the same Independent course.
He regrets the disagreement between
the Legislative and executive branches of
the Government, and would, doubt not
yield much to effect reconstruction. He
will not, however sacrifice his principles
nor violate the Constitution according to
bis Interpretation of it, no means to do
right, as he understands the right, and
will trust to time for the vindica ton of
his course. He will be as true to the
Constitution and the Government as Pres
ident of the United States. as he was true
and steadfast to the Union ia the darkest
days of its trials"

The ABDIcAfIoN oE MAMMALIAN
The Est6tette, journal published in the
city of Mexico, announced the abdication
of Macmillan on the 23d ultimo in the
following terms
The Emperor Macmillan left this city
Sunday morning at four o'clock. The
Dtario del Inperio indicated in its Sat
urday evenings edition the reason for the
departure of His Majesty. 1t is seriously
dfiiculr now to prevent the abduction OF
the throne by His Majesty, and to longer
delay his departure from the country.
The notice which has been in circulation
fol the past three weeks iu reference to
his departure have caused most lively
sensation in Mexico.
We are sure that previous to the de-.
parture of the Emperor from the capital
he turned over to Morshal Bizaiue the su.
premc direction of affairs, civil, military
aud political.
The greater number of the members Of
the. g blnct who presented their letters OF
resignation last Saturday night, inally
agreed to withhold final actien until they
should see how things were to 60 on under
The guardianship Of B,zline.. who is now
Lieutenant General in command of The
Empire.
We are sure these rumors are vel
founded and true; nevertheless no off,
cial announcement has been made of the
changes so important to NIL The empire
is abandoued-its Emperor fugitive.
Confidence in the supporting power is de-
stroycd, aud public opinion is clashiug.
The lives Of French citizens are in danger.
French influence is broken on this cont.
ncnt. Evacuation is determined upon.
and the finale of the work is reached"
The EStatette is the semi official French
organ the foregoing article was signed
by Coarles dc BArras. In the next Issue
the editor announced that his paper had
been suspended for making the announce.
ment but letter dated on the oath re-
ports that Marshal Bazaine had resrinded

President johnson is evidently impress.

III the Northern States, and by the dspo-
si'ion manifested by leading Democrats
to swing aronnd the circle into the sup
port OF negro suffrage. Those who arc
the recognized mouth pieces of the White
House are giving circulation to the follow
extract from letter purporting to be
from member Of the Cabinet to New
England politician. 1t is known to have
met the Presidential approval. and may
be regarded as semi.oiIicial pronuccia-
mento. The writer says:
Notwithstanding his long public ca
reer few men seem to be less understood
than President Johnson. That he is a
man of strong convictions aud earnest
purposes Is evident from the manner in
which he advocated aud pushed forward
important measures in Congress-, like the
homestead bill; the stand be took against
secession and in favor Of the Government
during the late civil war. He believes
that the manner in which he proposed
that the Government should deal with the
Southern States was not only a magnaDi-
nous one, but the only one likely to re.
suit in speedy and hearty reconciliation
between the sectious, aud he has felt
it to be his duty to sustain his views by
the exercise Of such powers as the Consti.
tuition had clothed him with,
But while this has been aud doubles

The METE)RIC SHOWER 1t would
seem from foreign dispatch that the as
tronomers following the usual lot of hu-
man nature, were about half right in their
predictions of the great meteoric shower.
The display occurred, but not before the
spectators predicted On Wednesday
morning Qhe hour is not given such "a
shower of meteors was visible from Green
witch that 5000 were counted in a single
hour, and about IL 900 in all were OBJ
served. 1t will be rccollected that Prof.
Newtpn's predictions was to this effect,
viz: 1.-The next passage of the earth
through the centre of the meteoric group
will take place two hours after sunrise at
Greenwich on the morning of the four
tenth of November, 1866" 1t must
have really occurred more than two hours
before sunrise. AS there is a difference
in time of nearly five hours between
Greenwich and this city, this would have
thrown the time for the appearance of the
meteors here at some hour before midnight
OF Tuesday AT that time it was beau.
tiful starlight, and any unusual phenom.
eaon in the heavens would have been ob.
served by thousands. The probability
therefore is, that the earth struck the or,
bit of the meteoric bodies with the east
ern hemisphere so turned toward 1t tn i
the ditpiay was beneath our horizon
