A singular case came up before Pitts
burgh alderman on Tuesday of last week
A man residing at Butchers Run, in the
Seventh ward, Allegheny, called and stated
that he had committed adultery with the
wife of Q person residing there. He said
that suit was to be brought against the
woman and he desired to give evidence in
it. The alderman thought possibly that
his visitor was not making tho accusation
IN good faith, and informed him Of his be-
lief Thereon the seeker after justice took
o formal oath that he was guilty of the Of
fence, and subsequently returned with the
wOman's husband. Information was then
made against her for adultery, and she was
required to give bail for hearing. The
criminal, who confessed his otIepse and urg.

Ocean Cables.

Cabels have become so numerous. and the
prospect of additional lines have become SO
certain, that the formation in England of
the 'Telegraph" Construction and Mainten-
ance Company" was not effected too soon. -
This company has acquired control OF the
steamship Great Eastern, and employs that
vessel, with suitable machinery, to lay ca
bles in every part OF the world. The Great
Eastern, after completing her work Of laying
the French cable from Brest to St. Pierro,
Immediately started on her return to Eng
land. She has now arrived at Liverpool,
where she will be reGtted and prepared for
her voysge around the Cape Of Good Hope.
This new expedition is for the purpose Of
laying the Indian cable.
The Great Eastern, when reiitted up, will
steam round TO Sheerness, to the confluence
of the Midway and the Thames below Lon
don, and receive the British Indian cable in
the same manner as she shipped the Allan
tic cable. Only that portion OF the main
cable, which runs from Alden to Bombey'
will DC placed on the Glcat Eastern, and
the Bed sea sections will be shipped ON the
.Chiltern and Scanderia. The Chileern is
to be retained permanently by the Constrnc
ion Company for special services as re-
pairing ship. The Great Eastern, on her
trip out to India, will be commanded by
Captain Halpin, and Henry Forde, now en-.
gagged in experimenting the construction in
the cable, will 60 out in charge. The en-
tire line, it is anticipated, will be laid by
May l, 1870.

IT Is WELL UNDERSTOOD that Secretary
Borie accepted his present position only at
the urgent request of the President, and
with the understanding that h Navy officer,
familiar with the details nf the Department,
should be detailed to assist him. This being
the case, it is not strange that he should
show some hesitancy in permitting Admira,
Porter to withdraw from his present part
nership arrangement, in which he stands 80
much by the side of the Secretary, as to be
really rather above him. But the fact is a
plain one, that Mr.. Borie had better, after
decent appearance of regret, let his ''old
sea-dog" depart in peace. The Admiral has
been spoiled for all usefulness as head of the
Navy Department, and his suggestions sim
ply bring the Secretary into a disrepute
which he would not, himself, incur.

End OF n Foolish scheme,

The recent tempest in tea pot" down In
Elkton, about railroad from that town to Mas
scy's n Roads and ultimately by zig-zlg
course down the whole extent Of the Eastern
Shore, has dzzled out sooner, though not more
certainly, than we expected, a recent attempted
meeting to further the object having utterly
failed. We believe railroad from Elkton to
Delaware Junction can be built, and is not alto
gethcr impracticable. We can sec no real neces-
sity for it, but there seems 10 be enough mild in
sanity in favor Of the scheme to bring forth the
funds necessary for the completion of the road
If Baltimore wants such q road, she can have il,
by paying for it. If having got il, she RECEIVERS
her lost Eastern shore trade by the operation. we
shall make an item 10 that effect. The road will
be so short, and comparatively SO cheap, that
maybe IL Is worth the experiment.
Any extension Of this scheme, however, such
as that recently proposed. is irnpraeticable and
absurd from the start, and, MS most men before
investing ID railroads look before they leap there
is no probability of serious attempt being made
to build road parallel with that already running
through the Peninsula ms the trunk line Of all
the county railroads. As we have beioFe said
there is no business demand for such road, and
the desire for it Springs from a foolish State
pride and political prejudice
