The French Cable.

The Great Eastern, with her mighty car
go, has arrived in American waters, and the
new French cable, says the New York
Herald, is therefore likely to prove complete
success. Many stockholders in the new en-
terprise are also interested in the existing
Anglo American Atlantic Telegraph Com
pany, and it is feared that endeavors will be
made by them to buy up the new cable and
thereby monopolize the means of communi-
cation between the two continents. All
free and Independent enterprises, and espe-
cially those tending to the public benefit,
must be, however, allowed free scope in this
country, and it Is to be hoped that the
promoters of the French cable will not listen
to any overtures tending to maintain mo-
nopoy. Experience has proved, both in
respect to steam communication and the
electric telegraph, that the requirements in
crease in proportion to the facilities placed
at the disposal of the public. In matters
of such vast import as the Atlantic cable
the public will not be backward in favoring
the enterprise which endeavors most equita-
bly, to satisfy Its requirements. Let each
undertaking maintain its own ground, and
If the new French cable remains untram-
melled we augur well for it. flt''t I.

We are rejoiced to see that Virginia is at
last thoroughly reconstructed, and the F. F.
VS. have accepted the situation. The Dem.
ocratic party is dead forever and the former
Democrats are now Conservatives who
eagerly plead for the votes of colored men
whom three months ago they declared I'm
fit to exercise the right of suffrage. We
are also glad to see that they have at last
become, not only reconciled to, but devoted
admirers Of carpet-baggers. They have tes-
titled their affections for Republicans and
their administration of carpet-baggers by
carrying WALKER, who is Republican and
a carpet-bagger, in triumph through the
streets of Richmond. We are pleased to
see the progress which our Virginia friends
have made and tender them our sincere con-
gratulations. go
The Richmond Enquirer, with penetra-
tive wisdom which cannot fail to command
the admiration of the world, thinks that
WELLS was beaten because he didn't get
votes enough" We are inclined to concede
the truth of this assertion, having noticed
the same phenomenon in the case oil SzY-
MoUR and BLAIR.

The nomination of Gen. Rosecrans for
the Governorship of Ohio by the Democrats
is, says the New York Tribune, we fear,
rather measure of their necessities than
an Indication of their preference. Gen. Ro-
secrans is soldier for whose services,-in
spite of some misfortunes which, we think,
might have been averted, we have nothing
in our heart but gratitude; and he is pol
itician concerning whose honest acceptance
of the essential results of the war no man
can entertain doubt. He has said and
done some things which go far to prove his
feelings better than his judgment; but the
blind partisans who five years ago were de-
nouncing him, and now are trying to use
his uniform as means of concealing their
identity, will forgive him for these far soon
er than for his fidelity to the country at
ime when they were fighting it. Mr.. Val
landigham once had the pleasure of being
Gen. Rosecran's guest. He was sent across
the lines the next day. Their positions
were reversed yesterday, and we shall soon
see if the revengeful Copperhead is not equal
to the task of paying his debts. The row
in the Convention was triaing compared
with the row that may now be expected
through the State among the men who DIES
perately strove, to defeat Rosecrans by
bringing forward the charmed name of Pen.
dleton. Meantime, it is pleasant to note
that the renegade Cary sold out for moth
ing; and that our Republican friends are
delighted with the prospect. fa5'

Mr.. Boutwell, Again-The Purchase of
Bonds Resumed.

Yesterday we wanted to know what had
become of Mr.. BOUTWELL, and his policy,
and urged upon him the propriety of fol-
lowing up his purchase of bonds. We are
glad to now be able to state that Mr.. BOUT
WELL has been heard from and is still true
to shat pylicy." He has resumed the pur-
chase of bonds, and will in the future stead.
lily adhere to the system of gradually re6u-
cling the national debt by buying in the
bonds. We have always approved of this
policy, believing it to be the easiest and
surest way of getting rid of the debt, and
most calculated to ensure safe return to
specie payments. A return to specie pay
ments could not be rapidly effected with
out causing widespread ruin among busl-
ness men, and consequent distress of the
people. 1t must be done gradually that all
may be prepared for the change and be able
to meet it without loss. We are confident
that Mr.. BoUTwELL's system of reducing the
national debt, and by so doing putting into
circulation large amount of specie, is the
true, and only safe way, to restore the cur
rency OF the country to specie basis with
out unsettling the value of things. There
fore we are SO earnest in our desire for the
purchase of bonds to be continued. The
N. Y. Tribune has, from the first, taken the
same ground as the STANDARD, and from the
same motives, and the following article
which we take from it exactly expresses our
ideas: ri fp eft s..s @
ssThe order of Secretary Boutwell, for a second
purchase OF three millions OF Government Bonds
may be regarded as definite indication of pol.
icy. The Secretary does not cOnstrue the law
requiring the establishment OF a Sinking Fund
(as we think he should) as requiring him to
make up the full balance which his predecessors
should have purchased; but 1t is now evident
that be Is too wise to permit the useless accumu
lation of gold In the Treasury, when 1t can be
better used in securing orr bonds while they are
cheap, and in stopping the interest that we don't
need to pay. II the Secretary feels hesitation
about putting the bonds thus purchased into the
Sinking Fund, 1t is hesitation from which Con-
gress will be prompt to relieve him next Decem-
Der. Meantime we congratulate him and con-
graduate the country on the wisdom that has at
last attained TO perception of the fact that the
business of the Government, like that of individ-
uals, should be conducted on business principles.
We wish he were purchasing ten millions week
instead of three; but we are thankful for the
good he does, and glad to welcome in it an oc-
casion for hope that 1t may prove an earnest of
more to come"

Wetake the following from the North
Carolinian. As the attacks made upon
Judge Brooks were made on account of his
awarding bankrupt notices to the STAN
DARD, we have felt some delicacy in MOTTO
ing them, as our notices might be miscon-

lowing and would add to it more praise.

of the Judge render it unnecessary. The
North Carolini0n says
We are surprised to learn tnat the Old North
State, OF Salisbury, has recently published an nm
just attack upon our distinguished tovnsman3
Hon. Geo. W. Brooks. 1t was not to be expect

itself in giving currency to such abuse
and misstatements. At some future day
we propose reviewing the charges, not

The Railroad meeting at Salisbury has
definitely settled the question of consolida-
ton. Consolidation is defeated. This was
done by the private Stockholders, by vote
Of nearly three to one. The State did not vote
at all, and the result plainly shows the feel
ings of those interested in the road. AS is
well known, the STANDARD has never taken
ground either for or against consolidation.
We wished to have the matter decided by
the stockholders of the two roads without
interference by the State. The State has
controlling interest in both roads, and could
perhaps force consolidation if it chose,
but we didn't think it right for it to do so.
There is much doubt, however, as to the
power of the State in the premises. 1t is
doubtful whether the vote of the State could
force a consolidation against the votes of a
majority Of the private stockholders. By
their charter they have certain vested rights,
and it is believed by many that the State
has no power to do anything that would in
fringe upon these rights. True the State
owns a majority Of the stock in the North
Carolina Road, but it was taken to aid pri-
vate enterprise in preparing work that
would greatly benefit the State-and char
ter was given to these gentlemen for that
purpose. For the State to now force them
into measure distasteful, and perhaps in
furious to them, we do not think right.
Therefore we are glad that the matter has
been settled without any action by the
State. -. -,

A Well Know Physician Assassinated,

A correspondent of the Galveston Neus
writing from Bryan, Texas, June 81, says
On Friday last the town of Calvert was the
scene of a horrible tragedy. The facts Of
the case as can gather them from various
sources are: There has been for over wear
misunderstanding existing between no.
torious character by the name of Ben Brown
and gentleman by the name of DR.. Max,
well. On Friday last Brown, with party
of about forty desperadoes, rode into the
town of Calvert, all armed to the teeth,
for the purpose, as they avowed, OF
killing DIR. Maxwell and two friends
of his. When DR.. Maxwell was told
of their intention he mounted his horse
and rode down the street alone through
Browns party. AS soon as he had passed
them the order was given to fire, and there
was volley of about hundred shots fired
at him. He and his horse were completely
riddled with bullets. Not content with
their work, they stabbed the body several
times as he lay dead or dying. DR.. Maxwell
was young physician of high standing and
doing large practice in that vicinity, and
was looked upon by all who knew him as
heightened, honorable gentleman and was
universal favorite throughout the country.
He leaves mother and little daughter (nnw
in Loulsiana) to mourn his untimeIy death.
The friends OF Maxwell, whose lives were
also threatened, took refuge in room on
the second floor of house, armed themselves
with guns and pistols and defied the Brown
party to attack them; but the desperadoes
left the place without disturbing them

After writing the editorial concerning Mr..
boutwell, and his policy, the New York
Tribune came to hand containing the follow
ing article: qs,t ta4....tr .t;.., :.
Gold came down to 1.3511zz yesterday and closed
but little above that figure. The Government
still has over sixty millions to spare, and might
pay at least seventy millions of its funded debt
Herewith. Had the gold been used to buy
bonds two or three years ago, land it has lain
dead IN the treasury ever since,D it would have
paid (including interest since accruedD more
than eighty millions of debt. Shall it be held
until it will only pay sixty millions, if even SO
much as that? Again we ask that all the sur
plus funds i'll the treasury be promptly devoted
to the reduction OF our debt. ga
This, it will be perceived, takes very
much the same ground as is taken by the
STANDARD. We are glad that so able pa
per as the Tribune comedies with us in our
views Of the manner in which Mr.. BOUTWELL,
should proceed, and trust that Republican
papers throughout the country will make
the same demand. ,'

We heartily rejoice, says the New York

the work of reconstruction in Virginia. The
new Constitution was yesterday adopted,
without its DISTINGUISHING and other clauses,
by an overwhelming majority. Our readers
are not unprepared to hear that the Walker,
or, as it prefers to style itself, the Conserva-

election of the State ticket. The figures
claimed for their majority by the Walker
men are doubtless too large, but it seems
clear their triumph is decided. ni r.
