OCEAN TELEGRAPHY.

When Columbus had shown the way to the
New World, it was easy for Others to follow in
his track yet mankind have fifty placed the
great discoverer in Il class by himself and
rendered him honor which he shares with no
rival.
The credit of uniting the Old World with
the New by an Electric Cable belongs TO Cyrus
w. Field and his associates, and TO them only.
The conception Of Telegraphic Wire resting
on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. buried in
its Ooze, fretted by its rocks, and subject
to all conceivable and incOnceivable dis
turbances, yet steadily conveying intel
ligence from continent TO continent in the
course Of few seconds, was one of the most
daring and gigantic that ever entered the mind
Of man. The chances were greatly against its
success, and not one-fourth even Of the in
tclligent persons to whom it was suggested be-
lieyed its realization practicable. Most men, if
pressed to put gold into the project, would
have preferred to throw it into Oceans fathom-
less depths and have no more trouble with it.
What difficulties, what Instructions what
bitter disappointments, the enterprise encOun-
tered, the world cannot so soon have forgot
ten. They compelled the raising of three or
four capitals for the great undertaking. and
the temporary sacrifice of that originally con-
iributed. They reduced Mr. Field him
self from aiiuence to bankruptcy yet
this was a trite compared TO the bitter dis
appointment experienced when the first Cable.
after conveying a few messages, suddenly gave
out, subjectiDg its protector to derison rs a
dreamer and to reproach as swindler We
have met persons apparently well informed
VINO shook their heads incredulously at any
intimaton that messages had ever passed
through that original cable and been reported
by the now mythical De Sauty.
The second sore disappointment when the next
Gable parted and was lost in mid-ocean would
have tried the patience of job. 1t seemed as
il Neptune resisted this invasion of his most
secret recesses, aud would not permit it to
succeed.
Yet the original associates persevered, and
Mr.. Fields indomitable energy and inynciblo
New-York tribune., 1869-06-16

BY this time our Government must feel pro-
yoked into making peremptory demand that
the Representative of the United states in
Paraguay shall not be held like prisoner Of
war. This is practically the situation which
Mr.. McMahon occupies, between di,rru,t on the
part of the Allies of the friendly office, Of the
United States and Obstinacy on the side ot the
Pmaguayans as to a total non-mtercour>r with
their foes. Dispatches received IN Washington
go far to prove that the chief blame rest, with
the Brazilians, who have ample chance 10 ior-
ward our Governments communications with
out risk to their campaigns. On the strength
of this belief our UUguayan Representative
has directed a warning to the Allies waning
which would lose none of its timelness and
Justice if still further emphasized by Instructions
of the Home Government.
New-York tribune., 1869-06-16

Our dearest enemies, the Twenty third-st.
women, have been considering u.s. our works,
and our ways once more:- jOurnalistically,
and prOnOuncing our reporters pretty bad, but
still very necessary and very useful evils,
so useful indeed that our mere censure is more
valuable than other peoples praise-us as mis-
erable men, and declaring that the time las
come for resistance to our tyranny, and per-
emptory refusal to pay taxes to our wretched
officers us as just men, and cordially recOgniz-
ing our justice, as in the opening of the gates OF
the legal profession to the throng of aspir-
ing women, concerning whose eagernesS
to enter it Miss Anthony bore suggest
i've testimony. We are grieved tn
see that this estimabe lady grows "discour-
aged p but we confess that if our earnest
ness in the cause did not uphold our flag

aged when we find women eager TO 90 to

out of their whole mass meeting, one
solitary woman who knew what Congressional
District she lives in. 1t is pleasant, however,
to note the genial charity with which the Nor
mon was received. After that act, who shall
say that the Twenty -thirdst women are not
ready to forgive multitude of sins
New-York tribune., 1869-06-16

Now that the sultry Summer days have come,
and gasping citizens long for the cool shades of
Westchester and the sober quiet of Connect
cut, where is that Underground Railroad so
earnestly promised if the State would but grant
the leave? In whose pocket rests that charter,
and why does it lie in cold obstruction. 1t
was used as a club to knock the brains out Of
other feasible projects; and now where is
the Underground Road The surface
roads gave way 10 this gigantic
promise; the two-tier road was slaughtered in
the moment of success by it; and now where
is it, We want the corporators to take up tho
shovel and the hoe and dig right on to the
full redemption cf their promise. We want
half-hou trains from the City Hall to the
other side OF Harlem River; we want them
now, and till we get them we want at least
the comfort of seeing some work for them
going on. If this charter has been obtained
solely for the purpose of killing other pro-
jects, and is now to be quietly laid away in
some dusty pigeon hole, the people would like
to know it. There is no end to Legislative
jugglery but this dog-in -the-manger business
must be stopped, even if it should become ne
cessary to exact heavy forfeit for non fulfill
ment of the terms so eagerly sought.
New-York tribune., 1869-06-16
THE UNIONS.

We take back whatever we may have indis-
creetly said concerning woman's lack of the
logical faculty. The Ladies of the Bureau
seem TO have "a great deal more logical force
than they have any use for and last Tuesday
they argued (or rather did MT argue) the Fe-
male Warrior Question with "A surprising
wealth of inyincible demonstration. Mrs.
President Henry b. Stanton, for instance
showed:
I. That there were great number of Fe-
male Warriors in blouses and pantaloons in
our Army during the Rebellion; but so soon as
their sex was discovered, they were drummed
out of the ranks without any pay.
2. That, Notwithstanding the pugnacity thus
exhibited, women, when they became voters,
would be all for peace, and "men would no
"longer go out like wild beasts to tear each
"other's eyes out"
Does the lovely and logical President really
think that "gOuging" is "A recognized military
operatonP We beg permission to ask, if there
is to be no war any more, of what use will be
the splendid military ability which it is just

We begin to believe that after all our friend
A. Ward, esq was but novice in the show
business. An exhibition in a nciehboring city
has set us to moralizing. Various wonders are
to be shown, all for the small sum of thirty.

We do not stop to inquire how il happens

shown to all comers for twO-and-sixpence,

be for the credit of Louis Napoleon if he wOud
commission somebody to buy and burn these
