The EXPENSE of the construction ana laying
of an ocean cable Of any given length can now
be pretty accurately estimated. The London
dispatch announcing the signing Of the
contract for new Atlantic telegraph
between Wales and Rhode Island said that tns
cost of the cable would be fGO0,0W (abou'
s3,OOO,eOO in gold). The first Atlantic cables
cost higher than this; but, az the cable-maken
have acquired experience and facility In theh
work. thew have been able to reduce and reg
Mate their expenses. From the contract which
was made in London for the Belgo- American
cable mot yet laid we learn that the cost OIL
5000 miles of deep sea cable was f0o4,oOo, and
the additional cost of the 100 miles OF eonnect-
ing shore cable was ES5,2O0. The contract
price of laying this cable was established
100000. Reducing these various expenses to
dollars, we thus find that the cost OF con.
structing and submerging the $3.50 miles OIL
cable is $4,3460O0 in gold. The price OF tins
Belgo- American cable is the lowest OF which
we have any knowledge, excepting the Welsh
American cable, the contract for which We
have Just heard of by telegraph. For the French
American cable $500 miles, the cost OF con-
struction and laying was SJ.1OOOOo, and, IN ad'
dition to this, there were extraordinary eA'
penses for concessions and other things which
ran the total cost of the line ND to s6,s55'm
The dispatch of yesterday giving the contraa
for the Welsh cable does not indicate whether
the price mentioned covers the cost OF ths
shore ends, but we presume it does; ana II
this be the case, it will be the cheapest OF All
the Atlantic cable lines. The expense OF suo
merging will certainly not be any more than
that required in the case Of the Belgo- Amen
can cable. which is fixed at 100000 Allowing
then, large margin for incidental and extra
ordinary expenses, it will be seen that the TO-
tai outlay for the new line by the COMPANY
will be under $4,0O0,OO0. Even at tins 'aas-
ton it will require pretty large and 'teaaJ
business to secure the shareholders an anhu'i
dividend of ten per cent.

What a charming futter will be created an
the world of fashion by the news that an IN
ternational Exhibition of Fans-cau the Cable
have mistaken 7-is to be held in London!
The mere whisper of such an event should be
sufficient to excite breeze OF agitation
throughout the n-shaking world. Ii Is sad
that the Czarna and the Baroness Roths-
child will be the leading contributors to the
Fair; but there ought to be hundreds OF
others only less known to fame willing to take
part in the fragrant tempest of rivalry which
should be created by such an exposition OF the
favorite social weapon. The fan with which,
as Countess and ScnOrita, NapOleons Spanish
wife became mistress of so much state
craft; the fan behind which Queen lsa-
bella hid her bushes good while
ago: the fan with which the good
Princess Alexandra famed away her lately
rufiled temperatures, and others like them,
would be wonders in their way. An interna-
tional exhibition of Fans would be as good as
an international Art Exhibition, if not precisely
the same thing. Tanning is a great art, and
the world should know it.

The clause of the Funding bill which re-
duires that National Banks shall substitute low
priced bonds for those now deposited by them
as security for their circulation, has aroused the
opposition of some of the banks; and del
egation from this State yesterday protested
against it in an address to Secretary Boutwell,
The address was simply an appeal, not an
argument; the injustice of discriminating
against National Banks in favor of other bond
holders was the burden of the story. The del
egation failed to state any of the many advan-
tages and privileges the banks have
enjoyed as corporations over private bond
holders. This protest will hardly be openly
urged by the National Banks generally. There
is some reason to fear. however that the dis
cusson provoked by this clause will delay final
action on the bill itself. The debate Oh it yes
terday opened fercey, Senators Hamlin of
Maine and COnkling of this State denouncing
the section as "nothing less than reputation"
There is little fear, however, that the majority
will join in this denunciation. An amendment
confirming the operations Of this clause to new
banks was rejected by a vote of 20 to IA. There
is no longer doubt of the passage of the bill 4;
it is only a matter of time-Or rather waste OF
time. This week ought to conclude the debate.

II the testimony of Alvah Blaisdell in the
Fullerton case is TO be credited, the defendant
in this trial was a party to the conspiracy
for which the witness was sent to State
Prison a few years ago. The prosecution, be-
side seeking to establish this fact endeavored
TO show by Daniel c. Birdsall that ihe transfer
of $1,000 by witness to the prisoner was IN
payment of the latter's share of the opera

the points of the evidence published on our

BY invitation, Mr.. Charles Dickens has had
on interview with the Queen, the same good
hearted lady who honored herself and her sub
iccts by writing a letter of sOlcitude and con-
dolcnce TO the late Mr.. George Peabody. We
can make but little remark on an event which
so eloquenty speaks for itself, yet it needs to
be said that in seeking the acquaintance OF
such men as Mr. Dickens, the Queen of En-
gland sovereign though she be. recognizes the
ROYALTY of letters and the crown of genius.

The House did an admirable days work yes
terday. Nothing can DO better than the tenn
per with which it has lately attacked abuses
in various expensive departments and we
must particularly commend the spirit with
which the Army bill was discussed ard acted
upon. The bill provides for large reduction
in the numbers, and heavy decrease in the
aggregate pay of the officers of the standing
army. Both are unnecessarily large Oh
our present peace footing, and ought to be
curtailed even more than the present bill con-
templates. compared with the salaries OF other
officials not less important to the adminstra-
ton of the Government. the pay of the higher
officers of the army is unjustly extrayagant,-
unjust not only to the taxpayers, but to the
civil officials who perform as important aud
necessary duties for much smaller reward.

We have lately read reports from several OF
tbe Quaker Christians who were last year
appointed as Indian Superintendent aud Agents.
They all seem to be meeting with remarkable
success; and their humane policy appears to
be producing better results for all parties con-
cerned than any other Indian policy ever tried
by our Government OF superintendent Janney,
who has charge of the Pawnees, WinnebagOes,
and other tribes, we have the most encouraging
accounts. He has gathered hundreds of the
Indian children into his schools, and has proved
the feasibility of their being brought into civ
ilized ways and habits. He recently gave all
his scholars new suits of clothing and blankets,
which had been voluntarily contributed by the
QuaEers of the country; and we are told that
happier crowds of boys and girls were never
seen, while their mothers looked on with pride
and joy. Compare such a scene as this with
the frightful scene recently witnessed in Mon
tana, when nearly two hundred Piegan Indians,
mostly women and children, were put to the
sword by the troopers of Col. Baker. Compare
this humane and Christian policy of the Quakers
with the heathenish and murderOus policy
which we have so long enforced. We are sure
that, in view of the developments of the past
year, President Grant cannot have any doubt
about his duty in extending the Quaker policy
which he wisely initiated on entering upon
Office. 1t is as advantageous to the white
settlers, who are the objects of Indian revenge,
as to the Indians, who are the victims of the
white mans savagery.

President Grant does not stand upon lls
ceremony, or hesitate TO violate established
precedents in White House etiquette, when tins
business of the nation demands action. On
Wednesday he visited the Capitol and took
possession of the Presidents Room This, il
is said, i. among the first times in our history
that President has occupied the apartment
devoted TO his use, at any other than the closing
hours of a Congress. President Grant WA
there at this unusual time for business pur-
poses, which the public will heartily com.
mend. Immediately on his arrival, in.
stead of holding a lcvee in his room,
as has been the custom heretofore, he sent for
tho members Of the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee. and intimated his readiness TO withdraw
the nomination of Mr. Bradley to be an Asso.
ciate Justice of the Supreme Court, aud 70 ap-
point Southern man and resident OF the
vacant district il the Committee shall deem
it advisable, and will so indicate We are not
informed that this candid expression led to
full and unreserved exchange of views. 1t

matter of this interview are alike agreeable in

ticularly undesirable and unfortunate at tins
time, There is chance, however, that the
seeming necessity of thoroughly discussing the
Georgia bill will have the effect Of forcing the
Funding bill through during the present week.
