THE Hudson Tunnel Company,
which began excavations almost five
years ago for n submarine passage TO
connect the cities Of New York and
Jersey City, lately resumed operations
after II litigation of several years begun
by railroads and private citizens to re-
strain tho work. Tho courts of New
Jersey decided that the company were
legally entitled TO build their tunnel,
and Colonel Dewitt q. Haskin, the
president, Immediately set to work II
force of about fifty masons and laborors
ut the original point of departure, Jer-
Bey avenue and Fifteenth street, Jersey
City. The tunnel was begun in
November, 1874, after extensive borings
which had been begun u year before
in the bottom of the Hudson River. A
circular working shaft thirty feet in
diameter, walled with four feet brick,
was begun 100 feet inland, it being in
tended to make il G5 feet deep, nj
which point the tunnel was TO be con-
structed Colonel HasKin informs the
World thpt he expects to get we'll under
the riyef before winter sets in. 1t il
estimated that the tunnel will cost &c.
100000. II will be $1,000 feet long, in
Guiding the river approaches, aud the
greatest depth under water will be over
sixty feet. The location OF tho New
York terminus has not been fixed upon,
but Washington square has been
suggested. 1t snow proposed to gain
time, to work Mt once on each side OF
the river, rs many men to be employed
rs possible at one time in gangs, which
are to 10 relieved every eight hours.
The company claims that by the aid of
compressed air, rs applied in the
patent obtained by Colonel Haskin, II
will be able TO complete the work at
much less expense than any similar
work has ever been constructed for.
II is believed that its present capital
of $4,000, 900 will be abundant for that
purpose. The plan of construction con.
templates no ootler-dam, caissons, or
Brunei shields, the compressed mir in
troduced into the face Of the tunnel
being expected to exert sufficient
pressure to hold in place and prevent
any Eruption Of silt, clay or water. The
mir pressure is also expected to carry
back to the workingshaft through pipe,
all sand, mud, or water that may &C
cumulate in the heading during til,
course Of excavation. 1t is believed
that the tunnel can be advanced fly,
feet day, and that the whole work cal
be completed in two years.

The. STORY which we publish from the
p4u of II Quaker lady now living in
Kansas, 0f ths treatment accorded to a
o9lored man of her acquaintance by
the white people Of his former Southern
home, rests upon unimpeachable an
tho-ity, and it is one OF the proofs oi
Southern humanity to the blacks
which cannot be denied or rubbed out.
This man had fled to Kansas, and after
establishing himself successfully there,
he returned to his native State to mar
ry and to take his wife back with him.
But his reports concerning Kansas, OF
course stimulated other negroes to wish
to go there, and 30 the white psople re.
garded him as pestilent fellow. Ac-
cordingly they seized him, cut of both
of his arms above his elbow, and then
tauntingly advised him to 80 back te
Kansas to work for his bread. This Il
ths story Of one case that has reached
the public ear. How many hundreds
more Of a similarly infamous kind re
main untold cannot be imagined. The
"Gazstte" will, we suppose, say al
this is o lie too, and will accuse vi
again Of abusing the people Of thu
South who never did anything wrong
