New Atlantic Cables-The United States Laws
Relating TO TELEGRAPH Lines.
wepublish to-day the general law passed by
the last Congress to authorize and facilitate the
construction Of telegraph lines in the United
States, and the special act Of the present Con-
gress giving power to tho American Atlantic
Cable Company, which contemplates the laying
Of q cable between New York and Portugal,
by way Of Bermuda and the Azores, to land
the United States The former law gives ample
authority to any telegraph company that may
be legally incorporated to build telegraph
lines in any part Of the country, and the latter
we do not understand as granting any special
privileges or monopoly Of the Atlantic coast
to the association In favor Of which II was
enacted. II Is therefore left free to the enter
prise Of the people to undertake the construc-
ton Of as many Atlantic cables as they may
please, and 1t is very proper that competition
should thus be invited and encouraged.
The need Of more than one Atlantic cable is
already felt and acknowledged, and the prospect
b that We shall soon have two or three compet-
ing lines to Europe. In addition to the Bermuda
and Azores undertaking new enterprise is
about to be started for laying cable between
Brest and New York, so a. to directly connect
Paris and New York This company, which Is
already organized, Is composed Of men OF capi-
tai in Boston and this city, and 1t contemplates
. great advance and improvement in
the teleRraphic business The principle 10
now established that with perfect insu-
lation and sufficiently powerful batteries
and electro-magnets the communication
can be extended to an indefinite dis
tanse, and this New York and Paris Gable
Company are said to have secured an impor-
tant Improvement upon the old Morse batteries
and instruments, and to feel confident Of their
ability to send messages direct from San Fran
cisco TO Paris without rewriting. II is also
asserted that with their improvements they can
transmit nearly ten times as many words per
minute as the old batteries can send, and that
their system will work an entire reform In the
business Of telegraphing. They contemplate
constructing land and cable lines all round

Governor Fenton has two important bills at
present before him for his consideration
bill to authorize the construction Of . surface
railroad on Broadway, and the bill 70 increase
.ths way passeuger fare on The New Fork Osn-
trh Railroad. The former was once passed
and vetoed By Governor Seymour; the latter
has been twice killed by Governor Fentou
himself Great interest b felt in the question
what win the Governor do In reference to
these two measuresi Its very certain that II
he should sign either Of them Il will be all
over with him - successful politician in the
State hereafter. Every person regards the
Broadway railroad - job, and out Of all the
people in the State nine hundred snd ninety
nine In every thousand will suspect the dis
inserestedness Of tho Executive approval Of
what Is termed the sfbig thing" To sign
the Central Railroad Fare bill now would
be on the part Of Fenton . backing down,
the motives Of which would be open to
grave suspicion. He should veto the latter
bill upon one broad ground, namely-that the
Central Railroad Is authorized by its charter
10 COLLECT two cents mile, In gold or it,
equivalent, for il nay passenger fare, and that
the bill Is therefore unjust 70 the stockholders
and entirely unnecessary. II the Central Rail-
road bill should be defeated In the executive
chamber the directors Of that corporation
should immediately proceed to collect their
way fare in gold or Its equivalent, ~ the
jewellers Of New York sell their wares, and as
they are fully empowered to do under the
existing law.
We therefore advise Governor Fenton, for
his own sake, to veto both these bills at once.
II he should sign either Of them he will seri-
ously jeopardize bis present popularity and
his future prospects.

Our most recent cable and mail intelligence
relating to the affairs Of France and Germany
has been full Of Importance. The game be-
tween the two arch diplomatists Of modern
times loses none of it, interest," and the results
become less and less doubtful The debates
In the French Chambers and the sentiments
expressed by Count Bismarck in the North
German Parliament reveal the anxiety of
France on the one hand, and the vigor, determi-
nation and hopefulness Of Germany on the
other. Count Bismarck's schemes for the present
are al succsssful; Napoleon's schemes, all or
nearly oil, are failures The Northern gains
upon the Southern rival step by STEP Every
move on the political chess board points to the
triumph Of Prussia and the humiliation Of
France. At the commencement Of the late
German war the twenty-nine millions Of
Prussia were too small to allow her to be
named as even q possible rival to France.
Now, however, Count Bismarck, or rather his
royal master, fnds himself at the head, not Of
twenty-nine millions, but Of forty millions of .
high-spirited and hopeful people, and knows
he has but to wait 10 see the forty millions
swollen to ffsy millions, and to find himself at
the head of united Germany. The late war,
which promised France SO much, has resulted
only in favor Of Prussia and the unity Of the
Fatherland. The letter from our special cor
respondent, which we printed in yesterdays
HERALD, indicates the abandonment by Napo-
leon of his ambitious schemes on the Rhine and
disposition to encourage the unity Of the Ibe-
rian peninsula. Whether this new project shall
actually be entered upon, and whether it shall
be fruitful, or the reverse, of glory to Napoleon
and France, remains to be seen. Meanwhile,
with the growing strength of his most promi-
nent rival abroad, with the keenness Of the
opposition, the resignation Of favorite minis
ters and other increasing troubles at home, the
Napoleonic star does not appear to brighten
as time advances. s

Tfeooufy EtoomClol Sto10mOuts
The April statement of the public debt and
finances, taken from the reports of the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury, which we published yes
terday, is on the whole encouraging. The
debt has been reduced over two hundred and
nine millions the past year-that is, in April,
1856, it was $2,s27, 1876, and now 1t is
$2,66S,l73,S72. But the Treasury has on hand
$l05, ,s56,477 In gold and $34, 4,32s,s26 in cur
rencyA making the debt less cash, $685.
42S070.
Flattering a. we admit this statement to be,
we must not forget that there are q great
many demands upon the Treasury still unset
tied, and many more growing out Of the ex-
travagant legislation Of the last Congress, for
bounties and other things, which may swell
the debt above the amount named. We must
see what will be the amount required to meet
the reckless appropriations Of Congress and
how much the revenue may be diminished
under the late modification Of the tariff and
revenue laws before we can decide as to the
exact sum Of our indebtedness. We shall know
more about II by the time Congress gets TO work
next winter. We hope that Congress, by prac-
Using greater economy, will then be able to
tighten the burden Of taxation and provide for
the gradual extinguishment Of the debt.
The portion Of the debt not bearing interest
II SAL, ,225, 1884, leaving the debt on which we
pay interest 81, LOG, ,202,736. This non-interest-
bearing debt Is the legal tender and fractional
currency. Now, the interest bearing debt
could be decreased three hundred millions
more, leaving 1t little over $1,000 900 900, by
simply Withdrawing the national bank cur
rency and substituting in Its place legal
tenders. These legal tenders would buy up
and cancel the three hundred millions of bonds
now deposited by the banks as security for
their circulation, and would not add dollar
to the whole volume Of currency now aHoat.
With regard to the specie reserve in the
Treasury, we recommend the Secretary to let
Il accumulate. Two hundred millions there,
instead Of one hundred millions, would have
the happiest effect In bringing about specie
paymens. II would give sense Of security
and Of confidence In the ability Of the govern
ment and country TO return to specie pay
ments, just ~ the reserve IN the Bank Of Eng

French lron.C1aa1s
It would appear from the statements OF our
correspondent In Paris that Napoleon Is ac-
lively engaged in the French navy yards in
building iron-clads, probably with pros
pective view towards events which may fol-
low the grand Exposition, which just now
looks like spasmodic attempt to divert at
tention from some future hostile schemes, and
which also promises to be more Of failure
than success, whether we look upon II In Q
scientific or . diplomatic sense. For the last
fifteen years Napoleon has been experiment
ing upon an iron-clad navy, constructing and
demolishing vessel after vessel as every new
idea turned up. If England turned out any
thing superior to the latest French idea In
naval architecture there was An immediate At
tempt made to initiate or excel It. And 50
with England. The rivalry was coequal. Yet
neither Of these countries have been able to
compete with MS in the construction or IRON
clads Before the rebellion we had compara-
lively no navy-of iron vessels, at least, we
made but an Insignificant show-yet when the
emergency came upon us our iron-clad feet
sprung up, even as II were from the water, to
teach older nations what the energy OF this
new country, with its active people, drawing
vitality from fresh and invigorating stmos-
phere, could accomplish. % %
It IL but the other day that the hrst steam
ship on the Pacific line between California and
China and Japan arrived ct San Francisco, and
her news was telegraphed instantly TO this city
and conveyed by cable to England In less than
four weeks from the dste Of the news In
Japan. Yet we made very little excitement
about It. We have become accustomed 70 this
kind Of progress. II the spectators In Wall
street would direct their attention to and en-
ploy their capital In advancing practical lines
Of communication, which must result In great
prosperity to the country, how much better it
would be than coquetting with chimerical en-
