everybody connected with it, to such an extent
that nobody could be got to patronize any but
Peter Cooper cables. Let him try the expert
meDt and see if we are not true prophets. But
at present prices or half of present prices, the
temptation is to have more cables. We wonder
that the significant fact stated by Mr.. Cooper
that the cables are now working only per
cent of their capacty-has not before admon-
ished their proprietOrs of their great mistake IN
fixing exorbitant rates, and induced them to
decide upon such substantial reduction OF
price as to make the lines of real service to the
business and social intercourse Of the whole
world.
But in offering these views we still hold to
the doctrine that, in the event Of war between
~the United States and England, the latter
Power would instantly whistle down the wind
all ideas of neutrality in respect to cables landing
on British territory, and would seize them for her
exclusive use and benefit. We regard this as
a most important consideration, and one which
ought not TO be overlooked whenever the ques-
ton Of more Atlantic telegraphs is raised
New-York tribune., 1867-03-06

The Slate Senate yesterday made the Con-
stitutiopal Convention bill special order 1or
today, and this is the third or thirteth time i
II has been special order without anything
especial happening. This suggests that IL
making important business the special order
results in nothing but continual postponement'
we might be spared legislative promises which which
arc 30 badly kept. The Convention bill, "hke
a wounded snake, drags its slow length along"
and scarcely one of the matters in dispute has
vet been settled either by Senate or Assembly.
The people are weary of tomorrow and
"to-morrow, and tomorrow" and believe that
the Legislature had better do little work
to-day than promise a great deal next week
Let Senate and Assembly pass their respective
bills at once. A conference committee seems
unavoidable, and that will long enough delay
the passage Of the BILL
New-York tribune., 1867-03-06

The disgraceful accident ct the Staten Island
Ferry yesterday -prOyidentially without loss Of
life-is an instance of the caree5sneSs with
which all our ferries are managed, and the in
difference of the Companies to the safety Of
their patrons. A fcrry-bOat, under full head
of steam, ran into her slip, crushed the bridge,
and knocked down the building above it, and
the sole excuse is that the engineer went to
sleep, or that the pilot neglected his duty 1t
is not strange that this accident occurred; the
surprise is that accidents equally dangerous do
not occur more frequently. The affair will
recall tO-tAe public the fact that Legislative
Committee lately investigated our Ferry sys-
tem, and will increase the desire that it should
make q thorough and prompt report

UNION or 4HE BRIrnH PRovIYcES.

UNION or me BRITISH PROVINCES.
The union of the Provinces of Upper and
Lower Canada, New-Brunswick, and Nova SEQ
tia, so long agitated, and recently reported to
be so far accomplished as to have had a bill
for that purpose passed through the House of
Lords, does not, nevertheless, seem to wear a
promising appearance. The reasons FOX the
measure do not appear strong enough to over
come the objections found in the reluctance of
the several members to establish this union.
Nova Scotia is understood to be entirely OPP
posed to the arrangement. New brunswick
once tlfew a very large majority against it,
aud is understood to be ready to do it
again, if an opportunity should ever be
offered to her people to express themselves
upon the proposition, divested of all collateral
issues. And now, it seems, Upper Canada is
much, if not altogether, dissatisfied at the
terms on which the measure is TO be perfected
The consent of Lower Canada, which, being
French, is mostly an inert mass, had to he
originally procured by concessions which were
at the time satisfactory. But, with the other
three provinces entering the new COnfedera-
ton in dissatisfied frame of mind its pros
poets of harmony or Of longevity would not
seem to be favorable, even if the event could
be accomplished But it appears to us there is
a great preliminary obstacle TO be removed be-
fore the British Government will seriously
undertake to consummate the proposed
union. We cannot believe it is going to COM
nit the folly of establishing Confederation
without submitting the measure to popular
vote in each of the provinces. TO do 80 VIII
be to depart from the principle oil responsible
government, and popular rule, which has so
long been established in the British Colonies.
And, should the Government be guilty of this
inconsistency, it may turn out that it will set
clements in motion fatal to the objects it has
in view. If a majority of each of the lower
provinces are really against the measure, Great
Britain at once inaugurates q difficulty III
provinces now quito contented and harmonious
Will the Government do it Or will sue sub
New-York tribune., 1867-03-06

debts, good enough to pay the National dept'
This false and mschievous idea has had Gre
dcnce long enough. 1t is high time 1t was
branded as it deserves High time the sentl-
ment was repudiated, and the Government
required to recall its issues and fulfill Its
TOO long deferred promises to pay. The
"wild-cat7 Philistines are taking advantage OF
praiseworthy and patriotic Determination
drawn forth by the exigencies of the war, that
the credit OF the Government should be main
taincd at all hazards of a sentiment which as
sl,mcd a vice to be a virtue, and declared that
the promise to pay dollar was the dollar itself.
The doctrine bridged a gulf. But we are safely
over that gulf and on solid ground. Being
through the war, we lay aside the stratagems
of war, and betalie ourselves to truthful state
meptS and honest courses; and we do not intend
that the inflationst "bummers" of the crowd
shall insist upon applying their rules and prac-
tccs Of war to the state of peace which has
followed. We are far enough along in this
financial business to be able to tell the truth
about it, and Ito insist on adherence to sound
maxims; and we do not propose to give any
quarter to the fraudulent ideas, however bot
toned, that lead to the financial ruin and dis
grace with which the inflat0nists are already
boldly threatening us.
New-York tribune., 1867-03-06

Congress may not DO in session over another
Sunday, but it is prompt to choose its chap
lain We do not believe in legislative nor pO-
litical chaplains. All the good Congress will
get by having special man to pray for them,
we presume, is not much. Let them call upon
the occupants of the Washington pulpits who
will not we venture to say, refuse to perform
in turn the missionary work of Capitol hill for
a very moderate stipend. There is another
reform we beg to suggest. That is the dis
pensing with public funerals of private mem
bers. 1t is a custom more hOnOred in the
breach than in the observance. The interjec-
ton Of funeral oratiOns into the very heart Of
Congressional proceedings, as is often done by
our wholly unique custom of treating this sub
ject, is sometimes quite too grOtesque to befit so
solemn an event.

We print in another part Of the paper a COM
munication from Mr.. Peter Cooper on the
Atlantic Gables. He states one fact we are glad
to learn, namely, that the cables are not doing
one-twentieth part of what they are capable.
Now, if Mr. Cooper would take off nineteen parts
out of twenty of existing prices, or half this,
he would kill several birds with one stone, to
say nothing of killing all rival Atlantic cables.
In the first place. he would fill up his lines
with business to the full extent Of their capa-
city, and, by so doing, make more money than
they are making now, which Mr.. Cooper does
not deny is very fat sum- even if no dividends
have yet reached his pocket. Another thing
he would do would be to render the
cables 9 great boon to the world
at tho same time they were great profit to
their proprietors. Yet another thing he would

account. Having accomplished their object

Colored men have voted at last in the Old
Dominion. Virginia must suffer this justice
whether she will or not for it is idle TO argue
violently against the stern logic Of such hard
things as events. The voting done by negroes
at Alexandria yesterday was the shadow of a
good thing so much like the substance that
we scarcely care to recognize the differ
ence 1t is true their votes are not to be
counted in by tho election commissioners
but 1t is nevertheless true that they
had polls Of their own, and voted peacefully
