Cable relesrnm Failures.

We noticed in our financial article yesterday
the excitement caused in Wall street by the
failure Of the cable kilograms to come through
on time, bearing the news Of the large advance
in United States securities, coupled with the
heavy transactions which took place in the in
terval of the delay beyond the usual hour
Of delivery. The regular report of the
London money market was due about eleven
o'clock in the forenoon, and II was de-
layed somewhere until half past four in
the afternoon. 1t is very singular that
similar delays have been noticed in commercial
circles on the occasion Of large advances in the
price of cotton in Liverpool, and also when
marked changes have taken place in prices Of
other staples and, strange to say, our mer-
chants always notice that large transactions in
the market always occur in these intervals of
delay. The facts have led to the existence in
commercial circles Of a suspicion that there is
something wrong on these occasions. The onus
lies between the Western Union Telegraph
Company and the Cable Company. 1t is such
occurrences as this that lead our merchants to
look with favor on the postal telegraph sys-
TEN or French cable whose terminus here
shall lie in other hands than those that conArol
the Western Union Telegraph. The subject
matter is good one for the examination of our
Chambers Of Commerce and our Boards Of
Trade When similar bodies In England looked
into the telegraph question the result was
unanimous movement on their part in favor Of
the government postal telegraph.

THE CoMMoTroN IN WALL STREET. Affairs
in Wall street are said to wear threatening
aspect. Now this is an old story. Panics
are becoming periodical in that place. There
was ''frst class" panic there last November
and a number Of stock firms went under.
Another is now reported as at hand. 1t will
do no harm outside Of Wall street. The No
vember one was confined to the stock jobbers
and stock gamblers. The outside world was
not affected. It was local affair entirely.
A panic is good thing once in while. Like
a thunder storm in summer, it clears and cools
the sultry atmosphere Of the Stock Exchange.
A real, dangerous panic must come from causes
outside of Wall street. where the explosion Is
the result of superior strategy on the part of the
''bulls' in locking away stocks to make them
scarce and dear, or on the part Of the ''bears'
in introducing some damaging report or story
The great business world jogs on contentedly
despite their rivalries and quarrels.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF GENERAL
PRIM.--A cable despatch which we publish this
morning informs US that an attempt has been
made TO assassinatc General Prim. Und er
what circumstances the attempt was made we
are not informed. Three persons have been
arrested. We do not feel disposed to make
too much OF this affair. Considering the
crisis through which Spain has been passing
the wonder is that there has been so little OF
this kind of thing. That party feeling runs
very high was proved by the brutal murder Of
the Governor Of Burgos. The revolution,
however, has been comparatively bloodless,
and IL Is quite possible that this attempt on the
life OF Prim may have been tho work Of
some fanatic, and not The result Of any organ
lied conspiracy.

A Paitry Punishmcn, tor a neinous offence.


The Cincinnati steamboat inspectors have,
after lengthy and laborious examination, just
come to the conclusion that the collision on
the Ohio between the steamers America aud
United States, by which hundred or so
passengers lost their lives, was owing to the
negligence or incompetency Of the pilot Of
each boat, and the licenses Of both are accord
ingly revoked. This is the extent Of the pun
ishment meted out to these culprits. If either
of them had murdered solitary man or
woman he might have expiated his crime
upon the gallows; but when he sends victims
to heaven by the FIVE score he is punished by
simply relieving him Of license to commit
further homicides Of the same kind on the
same waters Leniency on the part of steam
boat inspectors in regard TO the offences Of
owners and officers Of steam vessels, when by
some gross negligence human life is sacrificed,
has become almost as patent as the escape Of
murderers, burglars and other villains from the
hands Of justice. II Is time more efficiency was
exhibited in this branch Of the public service,
and IL the laws OF Congress on the subject
mean anything at all their provisions should
be rigidly enforced.

ssCALF JOURNALISTS. This Is the title be-
slowed by the Cincinnati Gazette upon those
radical journals that see something ominous in
General Grants non-reference to the repnbli-
can party in his speech accepting the Presi-
dency. Furthermore they are styled ''veally'---
not vcnal--journals, for the reason, IL Is sup
posed, that they are looking after the COM
mon veal when casting an eye to their own
wallets. During Grants administration, there
fore, we suppose we shall have Western jour
nalsm done up, in bookbinders' vernacular,
in ssfull calr' and shalt calf'-or, possibly, in
sheep, gilt edged.

A Coon BrrL.--The bill to prevent the
locking up Of the currency, which has passed
both houses Of Congress and now awaits the
signature of the President to become law, Is a
good one. II will help to check the tricks OF
the banks and stock-gamblers in controlling
the money market. A little more Legislation
for a similar purpose would be very acceptable
and would tend TO emancipate the business Of
the country from the power OF inscriptions
capitalists and stockholders.
