of the republic in time of peace, which
should be there just as much as any,
where else. Remaining where it con-
quered, this army garrisons the conquer,
ed territory because there is no other
government yet provided by the cons
guering power, except that worked out
by the reconsideration. 1t is rather fun
ny to see Congress charged in this in
dictment with resistance to the authori-
ty of civil tribunals, and their overthrow
by the substitution of military commits
sioni for the trial of underlined Offences"
when we know that Congress never did
anything of the kind; that the acts re-
ferred is were those of the Executive,
and not within the line of Congression'
al action at all. 1t is still more amusing
to find one cocnt of the indictment to be
the mere threat Of Impeachment when
the Constitution vests in Congress the
power of impeachment itself

THE ELIyINGsToSEE EXPEDITIoN.-Th
expedition in search of Dir. Livingstone
left England on the 10th of June. It
consists of only four persons: Mr.. E. d.
Young, who has been entrusted with tho
command Mr.. Henry Faulkner and two
experienced men named John Beed and
John Buckley, one a. mechanic, who trav4
eled with Dr. Livingstone for two years
and half in Zambesi; and the other
seaman, acelimatized on the east coast Of
Africa, and thoroughly acquainted with
tho nature of the country and with the
manners and habits of the native popula-
tion. Mr.. Young was also companion
of DR.. Livingstone on some Of his former
eventful journeys. Mr.. Faulkner accom-
panies the expedition at his own request
and expense. All four started on Friday
from London for Southampton, whencs
they proceed to the Cape Of Good Hope
by the African mail steamer. The steel
cutter which has been furnished to the
expedition, to enable them to navigate
the rivers and lakes of Central Africa,
was also taken out in the same vessel free

mandant reminded him that the castle

At a recent meeting in London Of the
directors Of the Anglo-American tele-
| graph company, tlimited), a report was
presented, which gives some interesting
/ facts in relation to the great enterprise OF
the age.
The report states that the capacity OF
the two cables for the transmission of
/ news exceeds the most sanguine anticipa-
tons. 1t had been estimated that from
twenty-five to forty words a minute could
be transmitted, whereas practically 100
words have been forwarded through each
/ cable in one minute. This result had
been attained without resOrting to any of
the appliances that had been provided to
increase the working power of the cables.
AS for the capacity Of the cables, it is
limited by the power OF the human eye
and brain TO trace the transmitted signs.
The period Of time required for the trans
mission Of a sign across the Atlantic is
not apprecisble.
The profits Of the company since the
opening Of the line, on the 2Sth Of July,
having been at a rate greater than
twenty-five per cent. per annUm on the
capital Of the company, the directors
had issued warrants payable on and
after the 18th OF January, for a dividend
on account Of one pound per share, or
ten per cent. on the subscribed capital.
In the accounts to the 3lst of December,
no credit was taken for the amounts due
70 but not received by the company, for
messages transmitted prior to that date
the amount was now a~sceTtained TO be
el4,O66, which added to that published
in the accounts, increased the net
earnings from e67, SI4 to ISL, $50 for the
i've months. The capital account
showed that e6l0, 342 had been received,
including el0,O00 for premiums on
shares, and e60S, 9S5 expended, leaving a
balance Of ei447. The revenue account
b the 3lst Of December showed that
eG4,432 bad been received on account Of
messages, el0,4l7 as rebate on through
traffic from the 2Sth Of July to the 2Sth
Of December, 1880 for transfer fees, etc g.,
and E232 interest on deposits, making
together, 1881. The salaries and ex-
penses amounted 70 e54S4, and the inter-
! est on mortgage bonds to e20S3, leaving
. balance Of e67, Sl4.
The proposed reduction OF the cable
rates, which is 10 go into operation on
the LIST Of March, will undoubtedly in
crease the income Of the company.
Heretofore the cables have not been
worked 20 half their effective capacity,
owing to the high rates for transmission
Of messages, aud il is believed that a lib
eral reduction Of the schedule Of charges
will increase the business and add to the
profits Of the company.
