Year: 1866

whole business was managed. The inside his
tory of it would most assuredly prove of great
interest to the public, and we suggest that


some proper means of getting at it be adopted.


It is very desirable that light should be shed


on some of the dark and secret doings con-


rebel States, and we hope that that light will


soon be supplied through the instrumentality


of thorough investigation of the whole


matter It is time that the mystery should be
cleared up. Let us have light.
The Cable Of J-NIismnDagement Of the
Associated Press.


Our despatch from Hearts Content, received
at noon yesterday, announces the success OF the


expedition sent out to reclaim the Atlantic


cable of 1856. The Great Eastern had been


on this mission twenty-four days, and nearly


all parties had abandoned their hope Of the


success of the expeditions; but it has been


complete nevertheless. The cable of 1865 has


been recovered in eighteen hundred fathoms


of water in latitude 81 So and longitude So 03,


or about seven hundred miles from Hearts


Content. The cable was found to be in as good


condition as it was when first payed out. Com


munication was Immediately had between the


big ship and Valentia, the signal being sent


through with perfect accuracy. The intelli-
gence of this success was received at Valentia
at forty minutes past five yester day (Sun-
day. morning, and was communicated through


the new cable to Hearts Content, reaching the


latter place at forty-fve minutes past six o'clock
the same morning. A splice was made with
the cable in the tank of the Great Eastern.
and that vessel thereupon commenced lowering
the wire into the sea, and is now on her jour-
ney towards Hearts Content A constant com.
munication is kept up from Hearts Content
with the Great Eastern through the cable via
valentia, showing that the circuit through the
ocean is complete and perfect. This success is
of as much Importance as that Of the laying of
the recent cable. 1t is a triumph Of science
beyond anything that has yet transpired,
and proves that this cable enterprise is
now complete almost beyond any con-
tingcncy OF failure. In one week more
we shall have two wires in successful opera
ton through the Atlantic. This will have
tendency not only to facilitate fhe transmits
sion of the news, but also to reduce the rates
to the public and the press. This success will
encourage all such enterprises, and we shall
no doubt soon have additional lines connect
ing the American continent with Europe and
in short time everything worth communi-
eating between the two hemispheres will be
sent by telegraph, and the opinions of the
leading journals throughout the Old World on
the events transpiring there will be published
here the following morning.


Nothing but the gross mismanagement Of the
Associated Press can now prevent the public
from deriving great advantages by this success
OF science. But we shall have the facility for
detecting the blunders and the manipulation of
the cable news by those who are controlling
the Associated Press portion this side of
Hearts Content For some reason, whether
by laundering or design on the part of the
agents OF the Associated Press, the news by
the cable has in too many instances been
made subservient to private instead of public
uses A few days since the statement was
sent over the cable that the State bonds Of
those States which were recently in rebellion
had advanced in price in London, as one of
the results Of the late Philadelphia Convention.
The despatch was here given out with the decla-
ration that the rebel bonds had advanced in
price. Az matter Of course the radical
press were delighted with this change and at
once attempted to make political capital out
of il The bonds referred to have no connsc-
ton with the so-called Confederate debt, and
are as different in their character as the bonds
of the State OF New York are from United
States fve-twenties. This is only one instance
Of the mismanagement the laundering or the
designed manipulation of the cable news by
those who control il this side of Hearts Con-
tent. II is time that this abuse was corrected,
and we hail the success Of the expedition to
recover the cable Of 1866 as one of the means
that will enable us to bring about . reform.


JACK HAMLToN's BLACK AND WHITE CoNvRN-
ToN.-The managers of the mulatto party
which is to meet in convention at Philadelphia
to-day appear to have great deal Of trouble
to obtain delegates. Nearly everybody ap-
pointed from the South has declined to attend,
leaving Jack Hamilton and Parson Brownlow
almost alone as the white representatives from
that section. To make up for this slim attend
ance Massachusetts, school teachers and hotel
BARRIERS are enrolled as delegates to represent
the Southern States. The convention was
called for the Southern loyalists" only; none
but representatives from the South were to
take part in the deliberations This was the
nature Of the call, and had 1t been confined 70
that the convention would present q beggarly
appearance indeed, even including the hotel
BARRIERS and all grades Of blacks who are to
appear there.
