Testing the Atlantic Cable.

The London Times correspondent who 40.
companies the Atlantic telegraph expedition
says that not q day has passed since the frSc-
ture of last years cable that its inhalation
has not been hourly tested at she Irish end.
These tests show its condition up to the bro
ken end, l 900 miles from shore, to be sbso-
lutely perfect. There is always a certain
amount of resistance to an electric current en-.
tering a cable, which is called retardation, and
is measured by millions of units. A submar-
inc wire of certain length can therefore al
ways be measured off, as it were, and its in
snlatiug and conductive powers can be ascer-
tanned within a mile of q fault, by the time
the current takes IN entering the wire. These
tests, as we have said, have been carried on
hourly with last years cable, and the result
as to millions of units has corresponded day
by day in the most remarkable manner. OF
course, both it's 'condlctivity' and resistance
have varied as earth currents arose or mag
netic storms prevailed, but nine times out of
ten the resistance test has been the same, even
to milfionth. unit, day after day, and these
tests are Identical with those which would be
obtained from perfect submarine rope ,260
miles long. The readings of the barometer
at the station also afford the most, curious
data which until now have been almost en-
tirely overlooked in electrical science as con-
nected with the submarine cables 1t is
found that exactly in proportion as the bar
ometer arose the resistance of the current in
creased, and vice versa. In plain terms, a
low barometer meant a good one, and high
barometer a bad one. Another curious cir
cumstance, which has sometimes been no
ticed, but never carefully recorded till now
IL that between II and in the day, and on
" ct those hours, the cable Is always at its
worst"

Colonel s. feels that while he was wrong

it. But how many thousands of people, at

precisely IN the same category How many
thousands who, like Judge Patterson. were
forced to assume the appearance of identih'

The foregoing letter was received to-day,
by private hand.
We are glad TO hear that the people of
Port Byron have made an effort in the direc-
ton named. The Post Masters and people
at all the other places should do the same. /.
The case of the mail routes to Coal Valley
and to Centre Point are just as bad as the
Port Byron route, aud sll three really de-.
mand the immediate attention of the Post
Master General, and we appeal to Gov. Ran
dali to give the matter his attention. Some
arrangement should be made, Immediately, to
supply the people with mails on the follow
ing routes, viz:
Rock Island to Port Byron,
Rock Island to Coal Valley or Cambridge,
Rock Island to Centre Point.
We have conversed with Mr.. Hawley, our
post master, On the subject, and he says he
wrote to the department, weeks ago, in re.
gard to the route to Port Byron, and the
route to Coal Valley; and that he has signed
petitions in regard to the route to Centre
Ridge, Centre Point, &c., &c. He also thinks
that most if not all of the post masters on
these three routes have made representations
on the subject. 1t is very strange that the
Contract Office should have taken no steps to
let the carrying of the mails On these three
routes. We trust that something will be
done Immediately.

F." We commend to abolitionists " no are draw
ing their breath preparatory to startling
and prolonged shrek over the New Orleans
riot, the subjoined remarks by Mr.. Boutwell,,
In the recent radical congressional caucus, in
Washington
s'Mr Boutwell, said he thought it very desirable
that congress should continue its session for other
reasons than those which had been suggested. He
would m ention one. distinguished gentleman
from the south was in town, from whom he had
learned that the Louisiana convention would meet
the 30th for the revision of the state constitu-
ton, and that amendments would be adopted dis
franchlsIng the rebels and enfranchisng the loyal
inhabitants without distinction OF color. II con
gress should be in session when this constitution
should be adopted, it could, in accordance with
the precedent established in the Rhode Island
case, accept it, and thus give II validity the
constitution of the state.''
Mr., Boutwell, knew very well that the con-
vention was destitute of authority to make
the amendments named as would be a caucus
OF strong minded women met for the purpose
of considering the question of women suffrage.
He proposed that congress should recognize
and cooperate with lswless aud revolution
airy assemblage, called to attempt, through
fraud. the change of the organic law of q
state so to disfranchise q majority of the
lawful voters and white inbabitants of the
| state and place il under the control of ne
groes and the demagogues who concocted the
scheme. lie would make congress, and not
the people OF q state or the state authorities

tended to declare . constitution 70 be law,
and would pledge congress 20 PREJUDICE in ia.
vor Of the conspirators. This declaration by
Boutwell, will justify the suspicion that Gov.
Wells had been in consultation with the rad
ical leaders in Washington. He saw en- un
ending lease of power for the abolition party
in Louisiana. should the scheme be carried
through, and be expected to be tho leader Of
the party in that state. There was not a
tithe of the criminality and wickedness about
the late riot in New Orleans that there was
about the Internal plot of the abolition con-
spiraters in congress- and in the state, in call
ing the convention together and planning its
work. ss#5 Hts.v So
