Washington will ignore all they can. It is evi- dent, however, that they have some little shame, and Hillyer and Weed, by throwing their experiences into the form of personal dispute, may force on the authorities the knowledge of many huge swindles, and thus do much for the purification of the revenue department. The Atlantic Cable Fever. We have received information that the new cable manufactured for the New York, New- foundland and London Telegraph Company has just been successfully laid between Pla- centia, Newfoundland, and North Sydney, Cape Breton, via St. Pierre, Miquelon—where an office is to be established—s distance of about four hundred miles. This completes a new route from Nova Scotia to the cable lines at Heart’s Content, making the third—allowing one line for cable business going, another for the same business coming, and the third for local traffic. This new auxiliary cable, we Prussia Advancing ia Her New (Career. We have all along maintained that Prussia would not court war; that her interests, on the contrary, demanded the continuance of peace. Determined and defiant as she has ever been since the battle of Sadow: never forgotien that the hopes which to her were most dear could best be realized by the maintenance of friendly relations with all the neighboring Powers. There is a popular tradi- tion in Germany, which has received a new interpretation, as well as additional power from the manner in which it has recently been brought to the surface, and the burden of which is that German unity in its most perfect form is only to be realized under the House of Hapsburg. The German portion of Auetris has recently been somewhat excited by the publication of a broad sheet in Vienna in which this old prediction is vigorously and plausibly put. Prussia, to her praise be it said, has more faith in deeds thao in words, in reality than in prophecy. She works, there- ‘The Fuss at Washington. President Johnson has stirred up a regular hornet’s nest among the politicians st Wash- ington, and the newsmongers rejoice exceed- ingly. “Here’s richness,” says one, a8 he emerges from the White House; and “there’s 8 pretty kettle of fish for Andy,” says another, pointing to the War Office. We are assured that there is an irreconcilable rupture between General Grant and the President, and that the General within a few days will retire in dis- gust. Weare consoled with the information, too, that between Grant and Johnson there is and has been no quarrel, that the abiding affec- tion of Damon and Pythias exists between them, but that Randall and Grant in the audi- ence chamber have had some high words on the President’s proclamation, and then again that they have not. We ere again advised that Seward, McCulloch and Randall will shortly get their walking papers, but that Mr. Johnson cannot do everything at once. Weare told that Jerry Black, Bobby Walker, “a man named ‘The seats in the amphitheatre at the Chittenden County (Vermont) Fair gave way yesterday and precipi- tated three thousand people to the ground in @ mass.

Waite, Corto axp SHaurtRy’s MINSTREL Prussia has her eye fixed on one object. That object she never allows herself for one moment to lose sight of. Her object, we need not say, is the union of Germany under Prussian patronage and control. In making this object good, Prussia, it must be admitted, loses no opportunity. The late war was 4 grand proof of her energy and her purpose. Since the war ended she has not been less active than she was whils it lasted. With ao almost lightning sp ‘ed she organized the North German Confederation. She lost no time in uniting Germany, Norch and South, in a mili- tary bond. Not insensible to the cohesive power of commercil interests, she set about at once explaining to the South that her interests were identical with the North, and on the 8th of last month her labors were crowned with success when the new constitution of the Zoll- verein was duly signed in Berlin. Our cable despatches yesterday were in per- fect harmony with our view of the situation. Prussia will be satisfied if the Salzburg Con- ference means peace. The elections have turned out largely in favor of the liberals, who go in for German unity above all things. Hanover, too, so long stubborn and rebellious, accepts the situation and shows signs of con- tentment. In the interests of trade and com- merce, as well as in the interests of the Ger- man people, it will be well if wisdom and boldness continue to preside in the councils of Prussia. find no takers; that Andy Jobnson has taken the bit in his teeth, and will astonish the Yankees by his deeds of daring, beginning with a proclamstion of amnesty and pardon to nearly all the rebels of the South. In the next place, it likewise appears that while the Washington hotels and restaurants are lively and bustling with democratic office seekers and unreconstructed traitors, radical Congressmen are dropping in quite freely, and that, judging from their active movements, they are bent on mischief; that Schenck, Spalding and Welker, of Ohio, Cook, of Illinois, and others, are in earnest conclave, and that Forney, in the full panoply of paint, beads, grizzly bear claws and eagle feathers, is on the war path; that the proposed grand council of the radical State Governors on the 25th will probably be held in Washington; but that Andy Johnson is not to be frightened by such Chinese thunder. Finally, it is hinted that, failing to get General Grant over to his side, after the fashion of Charles the Second with General Monk, Johnson will have the support of the rebel militia of Maryland in the expul- sion of Congress, @ la Cromwell, @ la Napoleon the First and Napoleon the Third, and that he will act with the emphasis of General Jackson. These are among the startling and conflicting details which make up the existing muss and fuss among the Wasbington politicians and news- mongers. The whole squabble resolves itself into the final conflict between President and Congress for the government. Mr. Johnson has the interval till the 21st of November to work out his scheme of resistance. Then, with the meeting of the two Houses, the fur and fea'hers will begin to fly, and the Hon. James will, perhaps, be called upon for his round million of Johnson volunteers to march upon Wash- ington for the seizure of “Old Thad Stevens” and his followers, and for the re-establishment of the Dred Scott constitution, according to which niggers have no rights which a white man is bound to respect. Now, if the masses of the people of the loyal States were fools enough to be frightened by all this fuss and fury at Washington, we should be even now in the midst of a revolu- tion and the worst confusion. But the great body of our Northern people, after fighting and putting down the most formidable and desperate rebellion in history, are not to be alarmed by these Washington scarecrows. Our sensible and practical financiers, mer- chants, manufacturers, mechanics, farmers and professional men, are simply becoming dis- gusted with these Washington clamors, as with the cackling of geese and the braying of donkeys. The country wants a respite from these noisy politicians—it wants to go to work and repair the damages of the war. The fall axD TY COMBINATION M4 LGM? AND PLEASING Fvreerainuext—Tux Faenca Mituumans.

The Polit! way ofthe moon, There seems to be at present a regular cable fever raging, which will, no doubt, prove fatal in some oases. Others may prove successful; and thus, while some of these projects may draw heavily upon the purses of capitalisis, others will, perhaps, handsomely repay investments. The line from Brest direct to New York is an experiment which has to be tested ; but we find that certain shrewd French capitalists have entered into the speculation, and they seldom move in business enterprises unless there isa reasonable surety of success, The line from our Florida coast by way of the West Indies and the Azores to Europe has been commenced, and the first link between our Southern coast and the island of Cuba finally laid, as was mentioned yesterday in our Cuba cable correspondence. There are other lines to Europe talked of, and surveys partially made, some extending almost around from the South’ to the North Pole; but these will pro- bably be abandoned when the practicability of working deep sea cables becomes more firmly established—a fact that is becoming more end more apparent with every day’s experience of the Atlantic cable. Among other matters, the acquisition of our new Russian possessions may inspire a renewal of the work upon the Russo-American line. The submersion of a line between Irelund and Boston or Port land is being discussed in English money circles. It is also’ proposed to lay a cable north of the present damaged Atlantic cable, which is laid in comparatively shallow water and is at the mercy of icebergs; and we should not be surprised to see a cable laid direct from Ireland to New York, via the French island of &t. Pierre, Miquelon, 8 route hitherto net much talked about, but no doubt feasible. We see in all these movements a spirit of enterprise becoming the progress of the age. What is wanted next are low prices—moderate tariffs on all cable messages. With a redaction in the Atlantic cable tolls to one-half or even three-quarters the present rates, there is no doubt the busi- ness would be quadrupled. The experience of the past teaches all enterprising men on this side of the world that where reasonable rates prevail handsome profits are realized and popular satisfaction and confidence insured. It has been so recently in instances where certain railroad companies reduced their rates. It was so when our postage rates were reduced, and it is so in nearly every branch of business where activity, progressiveness and cash are the levers. The Newfoundland company is to be congratulated upon having so successfully laid a new four hundred mile link, binding New York with London and the rest of man- kind.

If we were to accept the ravings of the radical party leaders and their organs as a faithful indication of public sentiment, we might expect a violent convulsion in the nation, ending in the overthrow of the consti- tutional government and the initiation of a reign of anarchy. At the best, we could but hope for the postponement of a revolutionary outbreak until the assembling of Congress in November, to be precipitated then by the swift impeachment of Andrew Johnson and the seizure of his office by the President of the Senate, pending his trial by that body. But, fortunately, experience teaches us that the boldness of political agitators displays: itself more freely in words than in action; and when we recall the impotency of the angry threats of impeachment and confiscation so loudly uttered on the eve of the commencement of the three last sessions of Congress, we are in- clined to believe that the present rage of the radicals will expend itself in “sound and ” and, so far as practical results are con- cerned, will signify nothing. There is, indeed, a shrewd suspicion abroad that the politicians of the party are very well satisfied with the situation as it is, and that while thir wrath against President Johnson is vehemently uttered, it is only for the purpose of keeping alive a popular excitement and diverting the attention of the people from other issues. Their main object in the legisla- tion of last winter was to dispose of all those military officers whose popularity threatened to render them dangerous competitors for the prize of the next Presidency. In their efforts to this end they displayed a great amount of political sagacity; but they would never have succeeded so effectually if Andrew Johnson had not by his recent policy afforded them material aid.

Marquis de Moustier, French Minister of Foreign Affairs, has issued an official circular explanatory of the imperial assemblage at Salzburg. It was merely a meet- ing of condolence, and no “alliance” or ‘combination’ was planned between France and Austria, It is said that M.

The democratic victory in California is a protest against the nigger supremacy policy of the radicals ; the protest of a practical, ener- getic and never over-conservative community against the wild theories and extravagant pur- poses that, by keeping the country at the fever heat of disturbance, are paralyzing trade. We may acknowledge in the broadest terms that there were causes within the republican organi- zation in the Pacific States that weakened it. Republican voters in California, as im Con- necticut some time ago, were disgusted with the conduct of their leaders and remained away from the polls. ‘Thus the vot? was reduced, and this reduced vote was divided on different candidates, But these causes only gave a greater field to the rising wave, for the democrats would probably have secured a substantial victory without them. There is, however, just enough in this view of the result— in this argument of the reduction and division of the republican vote—to serve for the use of radical leaders with the masses in the Atlantic and Mississippi Valley States. It will serve them to explain away the event—to prevent their voters from rightly understanding a lesson that would imperil the power of the radical party.

How long these com- manders can retain their positions depends upon their adroitness in balancing themselves between two clashing principles which Con- gress bas stupidly allowed to come in contact in the South. The District commanders are forced to obey the laws enacted by Congress. These cannot be changed by a general of the repablic. If he attempts it he is lost. He may administer the laws with « mildness which may enable him to maintain bis posi.ion; still they control bim. If Mr, Johnson, dis- satisfied, makes other changes, upsetting and instating, with the hope that he may find those who are willing to override the Congressional enactments, he will only discover that the remedy is not in that direction, but nearer home. The battle has to be fought out at Washington, and must now repidiy aerrow down to that point where the two great powers will strike at each other, Whichever wins, the result is an overthrow of the government. to seize upon the government by an unconsti- tutional and violent act? By leaving bim where he is they keep up the excitement in the minds of their followers, and go into the next campaign with Chase as their standard bearer upon the issue of opposition to the existing ad- ministration. They will seek to fasten upon the anti-republican candidate, whoever he may be, the odium of Jobnson’s administration, and will represent him as the successor of Johnson's policy. In this regard Andrew Johnson will be too useful to them in the Presidential chair to render them desirous of depriving bim of its occupancy for a few brief months. There are other obstacles in the way of an impeachment of the President. Ben Wade is shrewd and ambitious, and is already a candi- date not to be despised by the aspirants for the succession. The friends of Mr. Chase in the House and the Senate are well contented with matters as they stand at present; and the less prominent candidates will not be willing to give Ben Wade the advantage which the actual occupancy of the White House would not fail to secure to him in the republican nominating convention. Under these circumstances it seems probab‘e that the loud cry of impeach- ment will die away as softly in the next session of Congress as it did in those that preceded it, and that the next Presidential battle will be fought out peaceably, with Johason in the White House, Grant attending to his military Auties, Sheridan bunting wild Indians on the Plains, and Chase in the political field at tho head of the combined forces of the national banks, the Puritans, the negroes and the radi- cal rank aad file in geoors!

Tresident the proverb as an imputation against any man’s character, we can readily see that there may be a certain benefit to the public service when an old jobber and an office holder, in their quarrels and recriminations, begin to let out the» secrets of those corrupt practices with which the whole revenue department is rotten. It is of small consequence to the people that Weed has written against Hillyer, or that Hillyer bas made a sketch more true than amiable of Weed ; but it is of more consequence that in the course of the paper dispute we bave s glimpse of how the business of the Treasury Department is done ov left undone. It is significant that the staple of abuse from both sides ie the ebarge of fraud and corrupt courses—not with much special allegation of facts, but in a vague yet positive way, as if it were to be taken for granted that a man could not be in the revenue department, or have any intimate relations with it, and be honest. Yet there is ove allegation in Colonel Hillyer’s letter, namely, that in one case there was ao attempt to defraud that was so abominable, and perhaps so well known, that be could not possibly avoid fining the delinquent five thou- sand dollars; but he believes that this fine was remitted by some one else, This is only a sample of what acts may come out if the die- pute is kept ap, and it is therefore to be hoped that Tharlow will give the country the benefit of a slashing reply.
