The American Atlantic Telegraph COM
DllY.

This important corporation. chartered
by the laws of the State of New York.
and granted by the last Congress full au-
thority to land its cables on any part of
the roast of the United States north Of
Florida, was fully organized on Monday
last, by the election of officers. The lat
ter will enter at once upon the important
business of the association, which is no
thing less than extending sub marine
telegraphic cable from these shores, ri;a
Bermuda and the Azores, to Portugal or
France. For this purpose energetic mea-
sures are 10 be at once carried on. The
com pany will contract Immediately for the
Iconstruction Of telegraphic wire upon
improved principles, which viii insure
lightness, strength and durability Pre-
hminary surveys will also have to be
made. proper stations found for landing
the cables, and system of ocean sound
ings carried out which will insure that the
cable shall be laid safely and in good
working order. These operations may re-
auire year or two, but the public may
be assured that no time will be lost in
carrying them out. There is. therefore,
every prospect that the United States will
be furnished with means of eommuni-
cation with Europe, wholly under Amerl-
can management, and conducted solely
for the advantage Of our own interests.

NULLIFYiNG THE RECONSTRUCTION
3sW

The opinion of Attorney General Stan
berry upon the reconstruction act of the
last Congress, and particularly upon the
power of the military commanders over
the departments of the insureent states,
is published. The Milwaukee IFiscoaStis
in speaking Of the opinion says it is
exceedingly mischievous, and if the Pres
ident attempts 10 carry it out, it will IN
loubtedly compel an extra session Of
Congress. Mr.. Stanberry has always
been a convenient instrument of President
johnson, in trying 30 nuliify those meas
ures of Congress which passed over the
Presidents veto. The President il evi-
dently trying to fortity hii.,self with a
legal opinion, before he dares attempt to
nullify the Reconstruction law.
The fundamental error of the opinion
is that Stoabe2y assumes that Congress
did recognize the Johnson Provisional
Governments in the southern states as
legal and valid Mr. Stanhery has eyi-
len5ly not comprehenied the whole truth.
Congress did recognize them as valid,
out no longer than for the period It re-
quired to put the Military Reconstruc-
cion act into execution. Then it vas well
understood that the military command
ers were to be supreme, and their judg-
| ment final and, in fact, that martial
law was TO be re established over the
! southern states 1t is true that the mil
itary commanders were ordered to use the
| existing civil officers in the south, so far
as they could, but it is equally true that
When these civil officers attempt to OBJ
struct the Reconstruction law the power
was to be vested in the military eomman-
ders to remove them at once; and appoint
| other officers, who would carry out the
law This was the common sense con-
struction of the statute, and when it was
passed in both houses of Congress by an
| overwhelming vote over the President
! veto, we believe that every member
voted under the conviction that If any
officer of johnson bogus governments
attempted to interfere with the law, he
could be removed by the military com
manders.
We very much regret the opinion o.
Attorney General Stanbery 1t is pecu
iiarly ,,nwise and dangerous at the-present

RECONSTRUCTION.

1t IS difficult matter to agree with
those who assert that reconstruction is no
nearer at hand to-day than a year ago.
Yet there are those who make this asser-
ton. And it is asserted toe that the ra-
dical element is responsible for the failure
to exact indeinnities for the crimes of
the South: that It's acknowledged leaders
are crying ''confscation after having lib
Grated ali the leading rebels. We find
such statements as the above in one OF
our exchanges. We dissent from the
views entirely.
L. One year ago . man could not as
sert in the Southern States that he had
fought for the Union; he could not even
say he believed the South had done wrong,
with any safety to his person. To-day a
man can express his opinions freely al
most any where in the South. One year
ago hardly one PROMINENT rebel could be
found that had any sympathy whatever
with the Government; to-day there are
hundreds of those who took leading parts
in the rebellion who are urging that
strict compliance with the requirements
Of Congress be had. One year ago many
Of the influential rebels believed that
with the help of President johnson they
would be able in short time to renew
their struggle in behalf Of slavery; to-
xlo Ia, kot l,,k
course for them to pursue if they would
enjoy the privileges of State Govern
nlent, which is to accept the plans devils
ed by Congress.
IL It is well known that Congress can
make laws but it cannot execute them,
and this is the reason that no indemnities
have been exacted All the blame be-
longs TO the President for not enforcing
the laws.
III. We deny that the leaders of the
Radical element are desirous at this late
day for coniiscation. Stevens is the only
one who can lay any claim to being lea
der that asks lor it, and he is only follow
ed when he is considered to be in the
Right, which is certainly not the case
now. And -we deny that the Radical
element has had anything to do with the
pardon or release Of rebels. save In the
case Of DAVIS. The President has been
denounced for his abuse Of the pardon
ing power as much - for any Of his das-
tardly proceedings. 1t IS true Horace
Greeley figured in the release OF Davis.
but his action is condemned without stint
by his entire party. Talk about the Ra-
ideals not being in earnest, They are
the only ones who have shown a desire to
bring the guilty to justice and secure to
the Nation future safety, and We believe
their etiosts are being crowned with sue
cess unparalleled If any one thinks
those disa fiected Southerners can be CON
verted from the error Of their ways l.
one moment Of time, he is sadly mistak-
en-. Yet the work is being accomplished.
We predict that the time is near at hand
when the Southern States, having ac
cepted the Congressional plan, will be
fully represented in Washington.

The rebels of Texas. having failed to
induce Gen. Griffin or Gen. Sheridan to
allow them to perure themselves with
impunity. have now appealed to the
President to decide whether any person
can be registered as qualified voter who
refuses to answer the prescribed questions,
but is willing to take the oath. Such an
appeal evidently indica es purpose to
take the oath regardless Of consequences,
provided they can avoid an investigation
into their record, trusting to their chances
to escape prosecution for perjury. A
decision in their favor would undoubtedly

Norman p Bortle, Of New York, for a
purse Of two thousand dollars and the

ing Park, in the Second Ward, Allegheny

tors were present, and considerable inter

eled. Way-chose for his judges, David
| Lewis and John Gorham, and Bortle Sc
lected 4. Nicholson and Fred ~ Off
The judges chose as referee. Mr. VIM
Mcclure. The contestants made Their
appearance on the ground at th1;ee
o clock, Way being dressed in flesh c.,lor-
ed tights and red trunks. and 6or5ie
IN white tights and green ''tsunks.
Both contestants are Of slender build and
medium height-Bortle, however, being
Two or three inches taller THAI Way.
The referee then stated chat the con
ditions OF the match were that the CON
test would be awarded to the one making
| the sarthest leap in ten jumps. As soon
as one contestant made a better jump
than his opponent, he was to stop, and
:ile other would be allowed to make the
JUMPS remaining until he got through the
zen leaps.
The contest then began. In the first
leap the referee decided that they were
tie-each jumping distance of twelve
feet. IN the second leap, Way jumped
a distance OF twelve feet five and half
inches, beating his opponent Way, ac-
cording to the conditions, then withdrew.
Dortie then made eight more leaps. but
IN no time scored the mark made by Way,
his greatest lump being twelve feet three
| inches-two and a half inches less than
| Ways. The referee accordingly award
ed the match and championship in favor
! OF Way. and the stakes were promptly
handed over to the victor.
| Alter the contest was over, Way made

the match yesterday, champion Of Amer
lea, which title belongs to Way OF Pitts
burgh.
