The New Cable.

The work of laying the new French At.
lantic Gable having been substantially com.
pleted, and oil objection on the part of oul
government to its being landed on American
soil having been removed, it is expected that
such landing will take place during the pres.
eut week, at Duxbury, Mass, and that it will
speedily be put in working order.
We could never believe that our govern
ment had any desire or design to prevent the
laying of this cable to our shores, or to in
terfere with its working. 1t now comes out
that the difficulty arose from the fact that
the French government had granted to this
company privileged charter for twenty
years, and that under it no American cable
company could land wire upon French soil
The agent Of the company having now signed
an agreement with the State Department at
Washington, pledging the company to aban-
don their exclusive privilege in France and
to accept the future legislation of Congress
in regard to Atlantic telegraphs, Secretary
Fish at once gave permission for the landing
and working of the cable.
1t is remarkable how little stir has been
made about this cable Who has forgot
en the intense excitement and interest that
attended the laying of the first cable, which
ave one or two feeble utterances, and then
vas silent for years But we get over these |
Kings wonderfully quick nowadays. Why,
wen the Pacific railroad has become COM
affair, and the Peace Jubilee is al
most forgotten

Who is TO be Cheated 7

While the Virginia Democracy have prac-
tically come squarely upon the platform of
suffrage for colored men, and accept the doc
trine, enumerated by the newly -eected Gov
ernor Walker, that henceforth the two races
must stand side by side at the same ballot
box, the Pennsylvania Democracy, in State
convention assembled, - composed, doubtless,
in good part of that class who still shout, if
they do not actually vote, for Gen. Jack
son, have solemnly reiterated their funda-
mental opposition to comforting the right of
suffrage upon the blacks. Then there is anoth-
er class who stand midway between these two
extremes, playing fast aud loose with the
whole question, but endeavoring to hold the
two factions in such artfu control that they
may be made serviceable hereafter as the
great and harmonious Democratic party.
This class is well represented by the New
York World, and its Hlodas operandi is plain
y shown to be, to get the wretchcd darkies
into the hands of its party, and then off shall

The plan is plain and simple. 1t is to get
the negro vote, while he votes, and then dis
franchise him the first opportunity. But the
inquiry arises, how is this to be done 4? If
the negro vote is sufficiently large, and the
Democratic vote so unfortunately small, as to

Pacific Railway Lands.

1t is rumored that late developments make
bad showing for the managers of the land
department of the Pacific Railway. 1t is
charged that the lands donated to the com.
pany by the government are getting into pri.
vate hands, and are not put into the open
market; that large amounts of them have been
mortgaged to two of the directors for less than
half their value, &C.. &C. The money subsidy
paid to secure the building of this road was a
small affair to the government aud people Of
the country, even if it were all gratuity,
as is generally supposed; but the administra.
ton OF the land department of the road is a
matter OF general concern. Similar appro.
priations (of land) win doubtless be made to
other lines of road to our Western coast, and
anything like private speculation and fraud
IN respect to the road already built will be
likely to prove dangerous precedent, and
result in defeating one of tho great ends
sought BY aiding in the construction of the
road-that Of opening up our vast public do.
main to actual settlement. Congress should.
and doubtless will, investigate those charges
thoroughly.

The British House of Commons hasreceiyed

ments made by the House Of Lords to the dis.
establishment bill. As had been predicted by
cable dispatches, the Commons decided ia
stand firm in their adherence to all the vital
principles Of the original measure, and to Of
fer determined opposition to all the material
amendments of the Lords This action fol.
lowed sharp discussion, in the course Of
which Mr.. Disroeli moved that the amend
ments should be agreed to, and Mr.. Glad.
stone announced the determination o.
ministry. The several amendments def -
the dissolution of church and state in ireland
until lSIl,-postponing the disposition of the
revenues indefinitely and that respecting con-
current endowment, were all disagreed to,
either by large majorities or without divis.
ion On that granting glebe houses to min
listers of all denomnations-which was said
to be really the test vote--the majority against
the amendment was SO, or 1876 to 237. 1t is
thus evident that the liberal majority sub
stantially remains firm, and eyinces a good de-
gree of discipline and moral courage. A few
minor amendments were concurred in.
The bill now goes back to the House of
Lords for their decision as to whether or not
they shall insist on their amendments.
The general impression among the most intel
ligent observers seems to be, that they will
not insist. But the question which just now
more than any other agitates English politics,
is, if they yield, 'chat aert2 And especially
if they do not yield, WHAT NEXT?
