underground cable is complete, which will be
in very few days 1t is their intention,
understand, also to extend their lines to all
the principal cities in the United States; they
are now laying their plans to that effect
Just what trey are actually doing | don't
know; what | understand is from hearsay
We have made no progress here except as TO
our underground cable that has not been
published. The conduit is complete, aud the
cables nearly SO; so that we shall open the
line in couple Of days As You may know,
we have forty wires now underground, and
SO fan as the system has been tested it has
been an entire success"

The Washington Cd, c. } Gazette is a

storm and is candid enough to acknow-
ledge that unless there is a vast change
in public sentiment the republican party
will be defeated next year. 1t says;
1t would be ridiculous to attempt to
deny that the republican party might
possess a great deal more vitality than ii
has displayed during the last TWO years,
and then not appear a certain winner in

The present condition of the party
ought not to be matter of surprise to
anybody. Addition after addition has

were few who, hopeless or securing higher
position would he content with the smallest
place, but there was no vacancy for a single
human being The chief clerk Of the treas
AIRY said that the experience was very vel,
come TO him, as he was relieved from persist
ent and continuous seeking for office. The
chief clerk of the interior department found
/ that the new law would relieve his Office OF
one of the most harassing dtitie s--the neces
sity of listening to Piteous personal pleas for
place, The same general story was told
by the appointing officers of the other
departments except the chief clerk of the
navy where there were a few places to give.
The greatest interest manifested by appli,
eants now is as to the numter of vacancies
which will be created from natural causes.
The appointment clerks who were applied to
for information said that it would take Il
hong time to make any estimate, but.the av-
erage number is about fifteen week As it
will take fully that time to prepare the ex-
animation papers of the candidates there will
at least be few vacancies as soon as the
commissioners are ready TO send in thu el
