ANOTHER CANDIDATE PoR PREsIDENr.-It Is
stated that progressive Jerseyman has just
completed the construction Of steam man.
We are not informed as 10 oil the peculiarities
of this new citizen of the neighboring State
neither how he steams up nor what sort of fuel
is necessary, nor how it is put in, nor what is
the comparative danger Of bis bursting his
boiler and blowing up his neighbors. But we
consider that his possibilities, from the mere
ideas his existence involves, must be very
great and we hereby nominate him for the
Presidency. He is just exactly what we want.
Put him in the White House, and let the Senate
have the appointment Of stoker and engineer,
and there can never be any more trouble in
the great republic. He has claims to the
Office, too, we suppose. Pcndlcton has been
nominated for the Presidency on account of
his claims and so, Of course, the steam man
has claims, too-nobody knows what they are
and in this respect he and Pendleion are on a
level

The Rise In Gold.

We warn the uninitiated and the people
generally not to be at all disturbed or TO enter
into any speculations on account OF the sudden
rise in gold It has nothing 10 do with the
value of things, the currency or the credit of
the government. II is simply the result of
Wall street gambling, and gold will tumble
down again just as it went up. Any exciting
news, or any news that can be made exciting
from Washington, Europe, or anywhere else,
is instantly seized by the gold gamblers 10 bull
or bear the market, as the case may be. Such
news, real or pretended, answers for these fel-
lows just as greenhorn does for the faro
gamblers. or course they made terrible fuss
over the news from Washington on Monday
and frightened the timid for while, when, in
TACT there was not the least necessity for rise
in gold. n the Senate will have the sense to
pass the House bill prohibiting any further
contraction OF the currency, not only gold but
prices and business generally would be steady,
In spite Of the spasmodic efforts OF The gold
gamblers to create excitement and fluctuations.

vention to proclaim him their leader and candi-
date for the succession.
Let this great enterprise be set in motion
and tho masses Of the democratic party, in
rallying around Andrew johnson, viii soon
place the Pendletons, vallandighams, Seymours
and all the copperhead faction in their proper
position as camp followers instead of party
leaders. Finally, in behalf Of all tho oppo-
sition elements, Andrew johnson is, perhaps,
the only man from whose record, anteoedents
and present attitude on the great issues Of the
day the people, in opposition to the radicals,
can march on to victory. :.

Competition /. TeIesraph,o Cables.


We publish 0 communication elsewhere
which affects to treat satirically the subject OF
increasing tho number Of cable telegraph lines
connecting the New with the Old World. This
Is too serious . matter to be treated lightly.
The commercial and political a. we'll a. the
social welfare Of all nations is concerned in
this question. Granting that the present
Atlantic cable company has done excellently
well 80 far as II has gone, 1t cannot be blind
to the fact that the longer 1t exists and the
larger the experience OF its managers the
better ID tho cable qualified to meet the require
ments Of communities We have already wit
messed two evidences Of the benefits arising
from actual experience in this cable business
the reduction In tolls and the presence Of
moro liberal spirit In the general management.
We have no doubt that age will continue to
improve Its usefulness ~ we'll as cheapness,
and that 1t will not be many months before
we shall witness still further reduction In
the rates of tolls. In the meantime, we hold
that the establishment Of other cable lines
should DO encouraged. Competition Is the
life Of all trades and tho cable business
is no exception. If the old fogies on the other
side Of the water do not regard the matter in
this light, it is only necessary to arouse the en-
terprising and intelligent capitalists Of our own
country, and the necessary cash to construct
the new lines will in due time be forthcoming.
New York is the centre, the grand electric
focus of the whole commercial world, and all

with remarkable punctuality and accuracy
We have been at more expense for these de-
spatches than sll the other New York papers

the same channel, and we mean to carry 1t
out on the same line and to the same extent
until we have other lines established and new

The Georgia Legislature.

ATLANTA, July s.-In the Senate, a memorial
was read against certain senator's alleged to
be holding seats contrary to the spirit OF the
Omnibus bill. It was aaid that the members
could not, under the Omnibus bill, hold their
seats unless their disabilities were removed.
An onslaught upon the eligibility Of Radical
members brought out Bradley, negro,
who was surprised that the eligibility
of members was questioned on account
of color. His speech was very violent,
and he reminded the Senate that the first
blow for freedom was struck by a negro. In
conclusion he said that unless his race had
part andparcel in the State militia there would
be in less than ten years another rebellion
greater and more successful than the last.
A great effort is about to be made to oust
