EVENING WASHINGTON Grty: | SATURDAY... --. September 5, 1867, SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Jutelligencer, in remarking that the National Bwancipation Convention has as yet made but little progress in “maturing” the great scheme which it propounded, takes occa- sion to administer a fair hit at the whole fashion of “conventions.” It aseribes “ their origin and prevaience to a national idiosyncracy, which, being generated and fostered by our po- litical habitudes, has extended its ‘ principle of association’ to the formation of innumerable nouns of multitude, under the name and style ot ‘conventions,’ for the promotion of all pos- ble and impossible objects ander sun. The Spanish republics have for their amusement the chronie pronunciamente; Spain has her bull- fights; France her spectacles, diversified with an occasional revolution ; Germany her Vereins and Dtets, ecelesiastical and literary; England her sports of the turf and game preserve; we have our * Conventions.’ “ TheUuion, upon coming State elections, says: “In New York and Ohio, the pending canvass js full of hope and encouragement. In Pennsyl- v the only question with our friends is a question as to majorities .“* ee eee “Lost axp Focxp; or, Tae Beavtirct Qvaproox,”” is the title of a story of the “thril- ling” sortin the Werxiy Star, of to-day. 1t has also a varicty of other interesting ontside matter; and inside all the striking news of the week, at home ard abroad.

(On the other hand, it is so soon clear to us that the letter has disarmed all of the real Southerh Democtacy who were so Tate- ly suspicious of the Kansas policy of the Ad- istration. Those of them in this city cannot fied words to express their regrets that they judged the President hastily. “With one accord they admit that the letter places his adminis- tration firmly and fairly on the Cincinnati plat- form of non-interference in the domestic affairs of the Territory, and also on that Convention’s pledges to maintain intact the rights of the South as guaranteed in the Constitution. Who that would be fair could ask more than this— that in the last election accepted in perfect frankness the positions of the platform of the Cincinnati Convention? ‘That the opposition at the North will gnash their teeth at the letter is to be expected; while the hand fall at the South who prefer disunion to the continuance of the staveholding States in the Union with their rights under the Constitution fairly maintained, will also fail to have their hostility to the Admin- istration disarmed. All others—conservative Whigs, Democrats, north and south, and Amer- iean party men who care more for country than party—will say amen to its doctrines, which cannot thus fail to prove acceptable to three- fourths of the people of the United States. INTRIGUES FoR THE SUCCESSION, (COVERING Ixrriaves ror Congressiona, Puuxpen.)— Washington is full of rumors concerning pro- gressing intrigues for the next Democratic Na- tional nomination, in various quarters of the country. We hear many amusing stories of the sort, in much of which, our experience teaches, there is more truth than poetry. The truth is, the patronage of Congress regarded by the friends of more than one asp ring gentleman as affording the means of can- vassing for the Presidential nomination. So not a few bona fide public men are already nervously anxious that their friends—co-labor- ers and supporters—may get possession of the most important Congressional offices next win- ter, Already we hear candidates of this, that and the other interest in the Democratic party freely talked over, while none but some of’ the old incumbents scem to be candidates of the Democratic party. This is a sad state of things. Nevertheless, it exists, even so early; and, if continuing, will bring their party affairs at this point into inextricable difficulty, because it will bring about the settlement of important public «uestions more or less with reference to the fu- tere of this or that aspirant, rather than to the end of subserving the public interest. We never before knew this state of things to mani- fest itself so soon after the inauguration of a new Administration, to which it involves great injustice, indeed. It should be the aim of the leading Democrats of the country, in and out of public life, to do their best to secure the entire success of an existing Democratic Administra- tion, and to take no thought of its successor until the approach of the time for choosing del- egates to the next National Democratic Con- vention. That was the old-fashioned way of doing the thing. But these are fast times in which we live. Lavine tre CaBte.—We continue to find in our exchange papers any number of disquisi- tions upon the late disaster in laying the tele- graphic cable, few of them, however, being en with knowledge of the subject that makes them worth republishing. Now and then we come across one like the following, which really sheds light (intellectual if not vis- thle) upon the obstacles to the possible success of the enterprise. We take the article (replete with sensible re- flections) below, on the subject, from the Brook- lyn (N. Y¥.) Eagle: “At the time the deep sea soundings were be- ing made which resulted in the supposed feasi- bility of the Atlantic telegraph, it was supposed that some parts of the ocean were unfathomable. The line would run ont eight or ten miles and yet give no evidence of having tonched the bottom The simple reason was at last discovered to be— that when the weight on the end of the line tonclied the bottom, the line itself was borne off by the undercurreats, aud was merely floating away, while it was supposed to be going directly to the bottom. “In order to remedy this difficulty a sort of sinker was adopted in which a tube was passed thronch a heavy ball, and the moment the ball touched the bottom this tabe—we miust call it tube for waut of a better name, ax it would re- quire a model to explain the contrivance of its eperatio ht ap some of the matter at the bottom, the Ubecame detached and remained below while the line was hauled up again Now the enuse which rendered ordinary sounds ! tmpossthle wes precisely that which caused aking ¢f the cable. jostast non for miles up nd we doabt not that t inpos- There ix, pottom of the ocean ve will prevent the ca- t quiet location.

But the level * plateau,’ as it which is supposed to reach from Newh to frelavd. is ners, and away cul of that line bet hed the bottern, is vo knowing w P obstacles it would have to encounter. The feasibility of the seLeme is predicated entirely on the existenee of this plateau—the irregularities of the bottom of the ocean claewhere preeinding the idea of acable being Inid. Besides, if thousands upon thou- sands of miles of cable existed, the transmission of the electric fluid would be impossible. ‘Looking at these plain facts, we cannot see how any hope of the snecess of the enterprise can be entertained. On the contrary, we mast look upon it as one of thoxe things Which cannot be jooe—soch as propelling vessels with hot air, obtaining light from water, or extinguishing fire by Barnam’s patent bucket.”? Tue Cavses ov tar Ixpiay Revont.—The New York Journal of Commerce, more likely to be accurately informed on such a subject than any other American newspaper, attrib- utes the Indian revolt to modern intrigues, and in an exposition on the subject, makes a very fair showing to substantiate that position—as follows : “ The belief seems to be gaining ground in well informed circles in Engiaud, that the revolt in Benval was instigated hy the Mohammedan in- trigu, acd that the story of the cartridges was a cubningly-devised scheme to excite the fanatical Prejudices of the high caste (Brahmin) soldiers, aud, by thus cvusing the only class with arms in their Hands and capable of making a stand, to forsake their colors, to effeetatemporary junction between the Mobammedans and Hivdoos, the avowed object of which is, to break the yoke of the foreicner, while the real object is, to restore the ancient dowinion of the ogul Emperors.

Tue Battie wita te Cuerenxe Inpraxs. The War Department is in receipt of despatches from the Cheyeane expedition, giving the par- ticulars of the battle with the Cheyenne Indians at Solomon’s creek, on the 29th of July. About 300 warriors were drawn up in battle array, to meet the United States troops. The six compa- nies of cavalry advanced upon them immedi- ately; when near them, two compauics were de. tached to turn their fianks, and the whole then made a headlong charge, broke them, and pur. sued them seven miles. A large number of warriors were killed and wounded. On our side, two privates were killed. and Licut. Stuart and several men wounded. They are all doing well. A post was established, garrisoned by one company of infantry to take care of the wound- ed, and the command immediately started in pursuit. After a march of fourteen miles, they came to the principal town of the tribe, where they found one hundred and seventy-one lodges standing, and nearly as many more which had been hastily taken down; and most of the poles were left on the ground. A large amount of dried meat and other property of every deserip- tion was found in the town—the Indians evi- dently having taken nothing except what could be gathered hastily in their flight. The town, and everything it contained, was immediately burned to the ground. The next morning the command took up the trail, leading 1n the direction of the Arkansas. Capt. Foote, with bis company, (C, 6th In- fantry,) was to leave about the 27th of August to join his post—Fort Laramie.
