DEEP

By q Washington dispatch Of q late
date We are favored with the details Of .
isss report Of Captain Belknap. Com
mandsr Of The U. 8. steamer Tuscsrora,
which has BEEN for several months en-
gagged in deep sea soundings in the Pa
ciic. It will DO remembered that he
first ran . course Of soundings from
Puget Sound to San Diego. and thence
(, the Sandwich Islands and Yokohama.
II was his intention to return by way
OF the Alsntian Greupe Of Islands and
Puget Sound. ON the line Of the great
circle. He left Yokohama on his return
voyage July LIST. at daylight. and began
sounding homsward the next morning.
OF the remarkable results Of these sound
ings the dispatch says:
When about one hundred miles east
by south OF King Kasan or Sendal Bay,
on the east coast Of Japan, the lead sunk
to a depth OF 3,47 fathoms, showing a
descent Of 1884 fathoms In a run OF
thirty miles. The result seemed extra
ordinary. especially in view Of the short
distance from land; but the next coast
revealed a depth still more astonishing.
the sinksr carrying the wire down 4,643
fathoms without reaching bottom. On
this occasion, when some two hundred
fathoms Of wire had run out, the sinksr
was suddenly swept under ships bot.
tom by q strong undsr-current, and all
and al efforts to get the wire clear, and
TO keep 1t from tending underneath,
we're unavailing, the difficulty being in
creased by q fresh breeze and q moder-
atsly heavy sea.
Finally, whom 1908 fathoms OF wire
had run out and only about $50 fathoms
were left on the reel, IL broke close to
the surface and about Ave miles were
lost. After this experience. Commander
| Belknap concluded that the currents oil
the Japan stream proved too strong for
q hight Of ak or seven miles Of tsle-
graphic cable. and perhaps will render
the process Of laying 1t impossible.
| He, therefore, ran back In shore, in or
der to skirt the stream. and began now
the great circle of Point Komato, in lat
itude 40 degrees north. On this new
line he found very deep water. At one
cast the sinkor reached q depth Of 4,655
fathoms. but with slight current. The
conditions under which these latter deep
casts were made were conveniently "a
vorable. The wind was light and the
sea smooth. the swell being remarkably
gentle for the Pacific, and the ship was
a. quiet and steady . though at anchor.
The wire ran straight down. and in mo-
ment touched bottom. which was as in
stantly and accurately known at 1855
fathoms, or more than four miles and O
quarter. as at 1000 or 100 fathoms, the
indications Of the dynanomstsr being
wonderfully accurate and unmistakably
clear in all deep soundings made. On
the return trip the wire broke three diff
ferent times, involving a loss Of fifteen
miles Of wire. The line will DO aban-
donsd. ~ II is i~mpracticabls for tels-
graphic cables, and q new line. close to
the northern shore, will be taken up.
and, II found practicable, continued 10
the American coast.

abuses of what is known as the Washington

We are therefore tolerably well acquainted with
the condition OF affairs as they now exist
and, besides, have 10 pay our proportion of the

Congress to sustain pauper labor at the Nation

the people OF this State do not propose that they
shall vote to increase the national taxation by
any scheme TO enrich rng-s,d'ks. 10y simply Civ

Bad MANAGEMENT.

Last winter The City Council petitlonsd the
Legislature 10 fund the floating debt, amouating
10 nearly 100000 and the city was thus enabled
10 take fair stalt unemblrrassed Tor ineney 10
pay its regular expenses.
But II is again heavily burdenei with debt in
less than single year aud cannot pay its bills
as they come due. The consequence is that work
tlat should be done economically costs much
more than it would did those who do it know they
would get their money as soon as the bills were
presented.
There can be no question OF the fact that this
is the result of bad management, to use the most
unobectionahle term. And why was this policy
adopted and why is it pursuedy Simply because
the ruling party dare to do as they please They
know they can depend upon their seren hundred
negro votes, and as many more of the same sort
as they can induce 10 call at the polls in certain
wards and put In b ,llot without regard to its
legality; to thess they count upon adding that
portion OF the whites which always go for "the
ticket" no matter what the consequences are, and
thus We have from year to year the condition OF
our city growing worse. Aud SO it will continue
so long as the negro vote can be relied on to fur
nish majority TO the Radical Ring that is now
