He soon after re- paired the misfortunes of General Rosecrans and defeated the army of Géneral Bragg.

Senator Nye has introduced a bill in the United States Senate to facilitate the construc- tion of telegraphic communication between the Pacific coast and China by granting timber and stone, and land and ships to the company organized to lay the cable and build the lines. Well, this is all very desirable in this age of telegraphic progress, and he must be a narrow- minded individual who objects to seeing the gov- ernment extending its aid towards the develop- ment of telegraphic enterprise. But the com- pany is also to receive # sort of subsidy to the amount of eight million dollars, or fifteen hundred dollars for every mile of cable that may be laid; and of this amount half a million is to be paid upon a certificate that a cable for five hundred miles has been purchased. Now, just here the little electric nigger pops out his head. The Western Union Telegraph Company, it will be remembered, brought forward the Russian extension enterprise in May, 1864, with a capital of ten million dollars, one mil- lion of which was given asa gratuity to the projectors in paid up stock. Upon the explo- sion of the scheme this million dollars was con- verted into seven per cent bonds of the Western Union Company at ninety per cent, together with seventy-eight thousand six hundred shares on which thirty per cent was paid, making in all three million three hundred thousand dol- lars which was saddled on to Union Company on account of extension bubble for the benefit of the ring who held the worthless stock. There were besides some nine thousand shares of Russian extension in the hands of innocent holders, acattered over six States of the Union, which were not converted at all, those who had sub- scribed for them not being in the favored circle. But the company had in their possession a cable five long and some wire and posts, which might have been regarded as assets out of which the holders of unconverted stock should have real- ized sorfething towards the payment of their losses. The wire and posts have been long since worked up, although none of the holders of the stock have received a dollar for them, and now the Russian extension cable pops up in Senator Nye’s bill. We can give Congress some information in regard to this aforesaid cable, which is said to be the identical five hundred miles proposed in Senator Nye’s bill, to be purchased and paid for at one thousand dollars a mile by the gov- ernment. It was placed on board a vessel at the time of the Russian extension project, and the vessel was wrecked on the coast of New Zealand, There lay the cable for many months, roasting in the sun, until another ves- sel was sent out to gather it up and bring it to New York, It now lies at the Atlantic Dock, in the ship Egmont, and has been lying there since August, 1868, vainly looking for a cus- tomer, and apparently hopeless of finding one. It is reported that certain parties connected with the Western Union Company are manipu- lating this little job to raise half a million dol- lars for this old cable, and that this plum is the real object of Senator Nye’s measure. matter whether the Asiatic line should be built BOWERY THEATRE, Bowery.

F, Elliott, a member from Arkansas in the place of Mr. Hinds, deceased, was sworn tn. The consideration of the joint resolution against the government, through patriotic yet mistaken seal, he at once, and even upon the last field of battle, showed his appreciation of the problem of reconstruction by the liberal terms granted to the van- quished. He’ robbed no honors from those under him; he gave them their just share of praise, for they were of his naming, and to have them do well was to re- flect back: upon him for his good judgment in their selection. The people tried him in the civil administration of the War Department, and the results were an immediate and im- mense reduction of its expenditures. Thus the man made his mark wherever he was placed. He did well, stamped his own char- acter upon his work and pleased us. For this we have elected him our President for the next four years, His capacity for war, upon which we have touched, is a quiet force, valuable for those persons to consider who do not feel dis- posed to accept certain results which have been reasoned into practical existence by the sabre. His generosity to the foe was the best proof that he understood that the South repre- sented a vast and well-populated territory ; that it possessed a high-spirited and vigorous people, full of futuré power and wealth; that these facts must be recognized as a powerful force to be harmonized as rapidly as possible with the elements against which they had been clashing in a four years’ desperate contest. His concessions to merit gave the people a proof'that the cormorants who infest all public. places would be forced from their prey; that men would be selected for their fitness to fill the offices entrusted to them ; that whiskey rings would be crushed out, rail- way and other jobs cease to plunder and sap the energies of the people; that in foreign countries we should no longer be represented by men who disgrace us, for through them we cause other nations to take us at the estimate which we place upon ourselves. His economy in the War Office showed his desire to reduce the burden of debt under which the nation is now staggering and from which, if unrelieved, it will shake itself free by repudiation. It showed that in every department of government it was his desire to institute that military exactness of administration in public expenditure which is alone suited to a country at the moment it emerges from « great war covered with its at- tendant corruptions, In unison with Grant the people considered that the reforms and policy here embodied were a necessity to the future well being of the nation, and, looking for their best exponent, naturally elected as President the man who had proven himself, above all others, to be most fitted for the chief executive office of the All this fuss shows that the question is not understood, and that having no practical views men rush into theories. as in other things, the pretention and noise are greatest where there is the most ignorance.

If there be any doubt about compelling the per- formance of such contracts by law let an act be passed legalizing them.

Through General Grant Congress has imme- diately felt the strong hand of the people. The shadow they had been watching constantly increased in intensity.

The Cortes will] moet about the middle of February tor decide upon the claims of the various candidates, among whom thus far we notice Alfonso, son of Queen Isabella; the Duke de Montpensier, married toa daughter of the ex-Queen Chris- tina ; the Prince of Carignano, Admiral of the Italian fleet, and many minor celebrities. The recent elections in Spain, as far as yet known, indicate a majority of monarchical Deputies in the Cortes. The Party Press at Sea. The party press is afraid of Butler on both sides. The savage radical organ holds its fire in regard to his bold course and mancuvre in , the repeal of the Tenure of Office bill because it does not know exactly where to deliver it; the milder-mannered republican of feeble speech keeps solemnly silent because it cannot tell which side it is on, and the copperhead organ is uncertain whether to applaud the democrats in Congress for helping to destroy that radical machine or to pitch into them for voting with Butler. It is funny to see the “leaders” of party opinion fumbling in the gloom to find out where they are—unable to guess at their new relations in the sudden shuffle of parties that the political _prestidigi- tateur from Lowell has astonished the country with, Here are all the. democrats in Con- gress voting with all the republicans, except only forty-seven Jacobins. In an instant the bitter hostility of democracy and radicalism is forgotten, the fight stops and the fighters pull side by side for a common purpose, able to stand in a friendly attitude on one little piece of ground that Butler has staked out. It is queer, and it did come suddenly, and we can scarcely wonder that the party organs require two or three days to rub their eyes and be sure they are not dreaming. One of them has made an effort. It is the mild- mannered one, that never knows which side itia on. “It is a serious error to assume,” says this organ, ‘that all who voted against the re- - peal” are opposed to the repeal, and, of course, an equally serious error to suppose that they who voted for the repeal are in favor of it. We know that this political authority always talked one way and voted the other.
