Remarkable Telegraphic
Feat.
tTrom the New orleans Times, nth. ]

From the New Orleans Times, 17thl
We learn that one Of the
most remarkable events in the
history of the telegraph occurr'
ed in the main office Of the
Western Union Company, in
this city, Sunday morning last.
Those who witnessed the feat.
believe that it has been clearly
demonstrated that the limit Of
the capacity of the wires is not
yet known. 1t has long been
a mootod question among eX.
perts of the telegraphic pro-
fession whether or not it were
possible to transmit signals
through a circuit Of a length
exceeding two thousand miles,
and using more than two or
three repeaters, with any de-
gree of safety to the CONNER
cial business. We believe the
longest land circuit in the world
which is used for the regular
transmission Of commercial bu-
siness, is that between New
York and this city, which is
about eight hundred miles in
length, by the route Of the
wire. On Sunday morning
last a combination of circuit
was formed, varying in length
from three to five thousand
miles, through which Mr.. r. G.
Duncan, chief operator of the
company in this city, and one
Of the most accomplished of
the profession, sent messages
with great ease and rapidity.
The experiment was made for
the purpose Of thoroughly test
ing the matter practically, The
first circuit formed was from
New Orleans via New York
to Plaster Cove, N. S., the
terminus of the Atlantic cable,
a distance of three thousand
miles. The operators, thus
widely separated, chatted to,
gether with perfect ease, the
signals coming rapidly and with
great distinctness. After afew
moments conversation another
circuit of still greater length
was made up, and we are in
formed that it was the longest
land circuit through which in
telligible signals were ever
sent.
Nine repeaters were used,
one each at Rome. Ga, Lynch
burg, Va, New York city,
Pittsburg, two at Cincinnati,
one each at st. Louis, Chicago
and Memphis. The writing
was returned to New Orleans
almost as clearly as when leav.
ing the office, having passed
through eighteen States and
over four thousand eight hun.
dred miles Of wire. The elec-
trio current traversed the dis
tance in about three quarters
of a second. The writing was
transmitted as rapidly as Oh
short wire.

found. Twenty-seven were in
houses of ill-fame. Thirteen
were in farobanks and gamb-
ling dens. Eleven were in the
rooms drunk. A few were
"sick' from various causes.
Some had leave Of absence
Eighteen Of those found and
arrested were brought in and
fined ten dollars each, which
fine was paid at once. And
where were the ones who were
ont of the city ? Noah Davis
was in New York, counsel in
the Mcfarland trial. B, Z,
Butler was in Massachusetts,
attending a lawsuit, without
leave. John Fox, of New
York, long absent without leave
was at home where for months
he has been selling his frank
and clectioneering against the
Democracy, John Morrissey,
for months absent, was in New
York on sick leave. S. S. Cox,
Of New York, was excused for
sickness, he having been up all
night with Ohio friends. Will
liam NJ. Sweeney, of Kentucky,
was brought in and excused
for the reason that his wife,
after seventeen years married
life had the day before been
blessed with a girl baby-the
first. When William heard
of this addition to the infantry
force Of the country, he called
up few friends, kept taking a
little something till his spirits
were up and bis funds were
out, and so he was excused.
Among those arrested for
violating the rules of the House
and absenting themselves dur
ing business hours, to gamb-
ling hells, houses of ill-fame,
and other places of business and
amusement, were the honorable
members of Congress, Ames,
Axtell, Biggs, Covode, Cobb,
Of North Carolina, Cowles,
Davis, Of New York, Ferry,
Garfield, Haldemon, Hefin,
Jenckes, Knott, Lynch, Fox,
Negley, Reeves, Roots, Shell

Smith, Of Ohio, Smith, of Ten
nessee, Stokes, Taffe, VanIIorn,
Ward, and Wilkinson, all of
whom were found and arrested
by the Sergeant.at-arms.

ours is becoming a model Gov
ernment, and our people the
best ruled of any in the world.
Well--if the people can stand
it we can. If the plow-holders,

satisfied we have no cause for
complaint. But what a COM
