We publish this morning the highly gratifying news that the work of laying the recovered Atlantic Cable has been completed, that the electrical condi- tion of the cable is perfect, and that messages are being transmitted through it between Heart's Con- tent in Newfoundland and Valentia in Ireland. Thus, after a long period of harassing anxiety and incessant toil on the part of the originaters and chief promoters of the great enterprise for binding the Old and the New World together by electrical bonds, the final triumph has been achieved-—a triumph which places it completely and for ever beyond doubt that the great Atlantic Ocean presents no insurmountable barrier to direct telegraphic communication between Europe and America. The Great Eastern, which has played so conspicuous and useful a part in the under- taking, is now about to return to Eugland; but we are inclined to think it will not be long ere she will be ogain employed on a similar mission to that in which she has just been so successfully engaged. It is in the nature of such enterprises as this one to multi- ply themselves. We shall soon be baviug other trans- oceanic cables. Meanwhile we suppose that, now there are two wires, the public may look for a reduc- tion, at no distant day, in the rates charged for mes- sages, which are at present so enormously high as to constitate_a serious drawback on the advantages offered by the Cabl Our synopsis of the Hon. Hannibal Hamlin's speech at Bangor, Maine, gives but an imperfect idea of what we infer to have been an unanswerable argu- ment. Mr. Hamlin’s influence will have its due effect at the polls to-day. The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher has written a second and longer letter explanatory of that published a week before. It contains a great many words, and would seem to require a much longer letter of explan- ation than that it explains. We can speak of it but briefly. The great party wherewith Mr. Beecher has acted tolerates a very wide diversity of views among its members; but, when one goes over to the enemy, they understand that he is no longer of its household. Now the Cleveland Soldiers’ Convention is a move- ment aimed at the life of the Republican party. Itis an attempt to enlist those who put down the Rebel- lion by arms in the service of those who mean that it shall still triumph in essence and in spirit. It is a movement pervaded and animated by the devilish spirit of Caste, whose parents are Slavery and In- humanity. Whoever intelligently favors that Convention favors the crushing out of the Republican party and the fixing of the Rebel’s heel on the Negro's neck. He virtually says, “ Give the Rebels all they ask now, and perhaps they will be kind to the Blacks Ly-and-by.” The Rebels take all power of right, and Mr. Beecher says for them, what they will not say for themselves, that per- haps they will educate and enfranchise the Negro sometime or other. We prefer to let the Rebels speak for themselves, Memphis and New-Orleans are no guess-work, Mr. Beecher says he does not charge Andrew Jobn- gon with garbling Gen. Sheridan’s New-Orleans dis- patch. Who did garbleit! The Times kuows from whom its Washington correspondent received the forged copy: if Mr. Johnson can be cleared of the crime, why is it not done? We know that neither Gen. Grant nor Secretary Stanton is the culprit. 'Who is, then, if not Andrew Johnson Ten millions of people have probably read Mr. Beecher's letter to Slocum, Halpine & Co. At least 999 of every 1,000 of them have understood that letter -a8 o manifesto in favor of the Johnson-Copperbead- Rebel coalition to put the Republicans out of power, kecp the Blacks in serfdom, and let the Rebels have their own way in all things. It now secms tbat we all totally misunderstood it. We trust Mr. B. will write one more letter—a very short one—to say which of the two Philadelphia Couventions commands his ors to resist the orders of tempt of the fat the, Board of Health was vory emplbatically wet by B66 E—— - the Court of Special Sessions on Saturday, when one of them was sentenced to the Penitentiary. As this defiant boiler of fat, and maker of foul stenches, was ! worth $300,000, bis companions in contempt of the rights of citizons will probably see the folly of their infatuation. We had thought the Prosident had exhausted his power to offend a national sense of decenoy. This was a mistake. In his speech at St. Louis he passed from vulgarity to blasphemy with a boldness which is al most appalling. In what be said of Judas Isoariot and of the Saviour, Andrew Johnson has more than disgusted every Christian in the land. He has dragged that which is dearest to onr hearts into the dirt of his politics and his outrageous defense of the massacre at New-Orleans. A e L e The delegation from the Loyalist Convention at Philadelpbia will reach New-York on Tuesday. The Union League of this city have made arrangements for a welcoming meeting at the Cooper Institute on Tuesday evening, at which a portion of these dele- gates will speak. The citizens of Brooklyn will wel- come theso delegates on the same evening at Plymouth Church, the Trustees having tendered the use of the building for the purpose. These two meetings will in no wise interfere with each other. The most of the visiting delegates will attend to hoth gatherings, arrangements baving beon made to convey them from one place to the other, according to the exigencios of the occasion. His Honor Mayor Booth will preside at the Brooklyn meetin, The VERMONT journals are now claiming that the Republican majority at the late election exceeds that of 1865 by about Seeen Thousand. The vote is far from full, or it would have been still greater. The returns are still quite imperfect, but sufficiont for practical purposes. The following chanc® dialogne which was overheard in the village of Manchester on the Saturday before election, tells the story: Politiclan—* What is your name, sir1* ¢ “ From Rupert are you, sirt” Yes, Rupert.” *Well, I want to send some votes ovor there—some Johnson votes. How many are there in that town who wili vote the Johuson ticket. do you think, “Well, T dou't know of but two that T think will vote that ticket.,” When last heard of, politician had quite a stock of Johnson votes hand. Mr. Beward said, in a rocent speech: “ [ do not believa that when the Constitation is restored in allits oints that the people of this country cannot manage 80 smail & matter as the adjustment of the relations and position of 4,000,000 of colored people, nor will they permit tho iucon- gruity of tho existence of such | number of people w dis- turb tle arraogemont of the Union.” This small number of citizens, only four millions, is quite a bagatello for a Secretary of State to notice, but he is right in believing that the peoplo will not al- low them to disturb the Union. Nor will we allow asmall number of rebels (say four millions) to do so oithor—that is, if we can help it. The colored people never did disturb the Union; the use to which they wero put as slaves made the trouble. Their masters rebelled, but they have over been loyi Perhaps they ought to be ashamed of the *‘incongru- ity of their oxistence,” but Mr. Lincoln did not think 50 when he freed them, nor did Mr. Sewanl when he was glad enough to get them into the army. - P —— TERMS OF RECONSTRUCTION. The Evening Post attempts to make its readers be- lieve that we proposs or advocate other exactions of the ex-Rebel States than those prescribed by Congress. It has mo wamant for this | assumption. While it is fully understood that we should, from the first, have much preferred a settle- ment of all our differences, by mutual consent, on the simple basis of Universal Amnesty, with Im- partial Suflrage, it is equally well known | that we bave at mno time sought to make our convictions the test of party orthodoxy, but have been ready to assent to any terms of settlement which a majority of the Republicans in Congress should agree to. If those who are called ** the South” would accept our platform, we should be inclined to press its acceptance by others; but, while they reject it, we are nowise stienuous as to its apceptauce by Republicans. The late Republican-Union State Cokvontion was not even asked from any quarter to resolve that any further conditions of restoration thau those prescribed by Congress should be exacted of the States lately in rovolt. These are its resolves touching the matter n question: Resolred, That the pending dment to the Constitution, proposed by Congress, which defines citizenship in the United States and the civil rights of citizens, whick equalizos national representation among the several States, which disables from national or local office—at the pleasure of the people repre- sented in Congress—those who, having taken an osth to sup- port the Constitution of the United Stat Il have engaged lion against the same, and which declares the validity of the Public Debt of the United States, and fnvalidates every debt incurred by any attempt to overthrow the Union, is es- sential to engraft upos the organio law the legitimate results of the war, commends itself by its justice, bumanity and mod- eration to every patriotic beart; and that when any of the late insurgent States sball adoph that amendment, such State showid at once, by 1ts loyal Representatives, be permitted to resume its place in Congress. ; —Does The Post assent to this proposition, or does itnot? If it does, what is it bushwhacking about for? This was unanimously adopted by the largest and fullest delegated Convention ever asscmbled in this State—a Convention whereof ex-Gov. King, Speakers Tremain and Littlejohn, Congressmen Hul- burd, Laflin and Van Aernan, Judge James, Senators Law, Folger, Sessions, Bell, Goddard, Gen. C. H. Van Wyck, Waldo Hutching, Martin 1. Townsend, &e., &o., were members. It is the authentic plat- form of the Republican-Union party of our State on the subject of Reconstruction. Will The Post say frankly whether itis for or against this platform ? The only other resolve of that Convention which seems likely to elicit special objection is the following: Resoleed, That inequality of guaranties of personal avd po- litical liberty is dangerous to States and the wel- fare of free adoption of ¢ equalization of all politieal right upon_ which the fature pe ong citizens of the Unlon prosperity aud power of the United States may depend. The Editor of Tug TRIBUNE would have chosen to express bis sentimeuts rather more explicitly, as fol- lows: “Resolved, That Thomas Jeflerson, in bis averment that the eqnal d in their “The true foundation of Republican Government X right of every citizen in his person and property, management; * * * ery wan who either pays exercise his claimed o vital, fanaaments) truth, which ought ne t of in revisiog and reiistablisb) s of revolution; Yed o disraptod by th Moty o the Tl 12oogh and we Jook recognition and enforcement of this principle to and secure our country against fu- ture secessions, ware.” rebellions, and desolating eivil —Does The Post object to this proposition, whether in the shape reported by Mr. G. W. Curtis and pre- ferred by the Platform Committee, or in that which seemed to us more frank and cogent? Will it favor us with a square declaration 7 ‘We can only comprehend The Post on the assump- tion that it bates the Republican party and desires its overthrow, Many do this; but none other assail it 0 unfairly as does The Post. Caunot that journal be persuaded to forego its guerrilla tactice, with the uso of poisoned arrows, and tell the public just where it stands as between the two parties which now divide our State and as between the platforms of the rival Philadelphia Conventions ! * Letter to Samoe! Kercheva!, July 12, 1816. ENGLAND'S PERIL AND ONLY HOPE. Among the possibilities of the dark and distant fu- ture is that fate of & great nation foreshadowed in Macavlay's imaginary picture, of a New-Zealander surveying from London Bridge the ruins of the once mighty metropolis of the world. The picture may pever substantially be realized; but there is much in | in this country that bas raised the bauner of Impar- assertod that her political prestige has never been so small Bince the period when she first took up her position among the leading nations of the world. She has, in fact, under a species of moral compulsion, virtually ab- dicated ber place in the councils of Europe, where her voice was once all potest for good or for evil. One of her leading statesmen has just proclaimed England to be more of an Asiatic than a European power, and this dictum seems to be ac- cepted by the English people as expressing the true stato of things, Indeed, if we aro to take the En- glish press as our guide, we cannot escape the conelu- sion that England’s power is more in reputation and outward show than in reality. According to that au- thority—and a better we caunot have—tho navy of England, once the pride and the boast of the natiou, and which has cost an almost fabulous amount of monoy, has been so grievously mismanaged that it cannot be depended upon for efficient aer- vico. The Crimean campaign first revealed the military weakness of the empire—a danger to which attention has been again unpleasantly called by the recent astonishing successes of the arms of Prussia; and it is now frankly admitted, that the warlike resources of England are by no means equal to the exigencies which may at any moment arise in the interests of national safety and honor. Add to thesa things, the monstrous domestic grievances of which such loud complaint is made; the extremes of wealth and poverty that constitute so marked and painful a feature in the English social system; the denial of the right of suffrage to the toiling millions; the offensive class distinctions, both in matters civil and ecelesiastical, through which the claims of hum- ble merit are ignored, and the arrogance of titled stu- pidity upheld and honored; the fatuous resistance shown to any change in the absurd and unjust law of primogeniture, which remits the great bulk of the population to a life of hopeless serflom; the growing discontent among the peopla at their persistent exclu- sion from a participation in political power—and it must be admitted that the continued stability of En glish institutions is an exceedingly problematical question, and that the national vitality is in seri- ous peril. In these circumstances England's ouly hope of safoty, we venture to say, lies in the full development among her people of the principles of constitutional freedom, and in a cordial alliance with the American Republic:—an alliance of the peoples, we mean, and not simply of the governments. Such alliance is hardly possible at present, so opposed to each other on vital points are the political systems of the two countrics. We are aware that according to the Euglish theory of constitutional freedom, government is the creation of the popular will, exists for the promotion of the popular well-being, and should be administered in obedience to the popular voice. But so long ae the great bulk of the people are excluded from their fair share of political power, so loug as the administration of public affairs is confined to a privileged oligarchy, so long s class legislation—the natural and. inevitable consequence of such exelusiveness—continues to dis- grace the statute books of the Kingdom, it cannot be said truthfully that in England, as' in America, gov- ernment is ** of the people, by the people, and for the people.” Let this glaring anoaly in the political system of England be corrected and a hearty alliance | between the English and American people would be- come possible—yea, would be certain to spring up; and the moral support, at least, which such an alli- ance would bring to England might give her a new lease of vigorous life. England’s primary want at present then, is, political reconstruction of a radical type. Once the great ex- emplar of Constitutional freedom, she has fallen sadly belind the spirit of the present age. The consequence is, that while she has not asingle sincere ally among the nations, by most of whom she is cordially hated, the unjust and exclusive policy pursued by the so called ruling classes, under pretended Constitutional sanction, is having the effect of alienatiug the regards of the bulk of her people from the Government, and of pieventing that alliance in which lies her chief hope for the fature. Already all but completely iolated in Europe, whither can she lgok save to this Republic? But with what chance of success can she direct her eyes in this direction, while bher Govern- ment continues to be a synonym for oppressive class legislation ? The true patriots, the sagacious and fur-scoing statesmen of England, are they who are laboriug to remedy this state of things—John Bright, and his coad- jutorsin the work of Parliamentary reform. Whenthat reform shall have become an accomplished fact, then may we expect to see the existing monstrons abuses to which we have alluded in this article swept away, and the way opened for an alliance, that shall indeed deserve the appellation Holy, between England and America. The Reform party in England, and the party tial Suffrage, are laboring in the same cause and for the same noble ends. With their success, the triumph of liberty will be complete, and a new era will dawn upon the world. OUR CURRENCY. The Economist thus replies to one of The Herald's absurd rigmaroles against a speedy Resumption of Specie Payments: “ Between the 12th of July, 1864, and the 30th of Septetaber, 1804, the price of goid fell from 2¢5to 191—a decline of 94 points; and from the middle of November, 1804, to the middle of March, 1865—a period of four montbs—the price declined from 260 to 130, & fall of 100 points; yet who can re. count one failure (except from gold specn'ations) attrihnta- ble to these wide fluciuations + The injury to business arising from a protraction of the suspension”of o pay- In infinitely groater than resumption can po roye. eturn to specie payments would be accomp: ed by the neral revival of coufidence, by the investment of capital a productive enterprisce, and by a removal of all those em- barrassing unoertainties which attend the use of & currency constantly fluctuating 1o value.” | adverse, irrogular, *“ informal call,” for the samo end at an nousual place, is responded to by fifteen ! What more need be said ? Bat at least fwo of those who responded to Raj. mond and Sperry's eall (Lt.-Gov. Claflin of Mass. and Mr. J. B. Clark of N, H.) were in full sympathy with the Philadelphia party, and, having first seon that no mischief was done here, went over to Phila- delphia and participated in the meeting there, which was attended on the first day by serenteen and on the second by twenty-two members—a full, unguestionable quorum—whereby the expulsion of Raymond and Specry and the choice of Gov. Marcus L. Ward of N. J. as Chairman and Mr. Defrees as Secretary,were unanimously coufirmed. Thus stands the case, —The protense that a meeting of the Committee could only be called by its Prosident is absurd. Sap- pose Raymond and Sperry had both died, would the Committee have died with them ? Not exactly. THE REBEL PROGRAMME. Ex-Gov. I. V. Johnson of Georgia has very labori- ously indorsed the Randall Convention, in a four- column letter to The Augusta Chronicle, There are many passages which deserve notice, as indications of what the Rebel States expect to gain by union with Copperheads. He urges the disaffected Rebels to sustain the Convention, because it ** has erganized a party pledged to the restoration of the Union upon the basis of the Constitution and of representation to the Southern States, without any other test of loyalty Deside the oath to support the Constitution of the United States. This is deeply interesting to us, It is the overshadowing question, paramount to all others. It is vital. I surrender none of the cherished political opinions ef my life, s0 far as they are applicable to the situation in which we are left by the war, nor do I indorse such as I beliove to be erroneous in the Philadelphia platform and address, But what avails the discussion of these now? What can we gain by argument?” Nothing; but he hopes to gain much through the help of the Convention, which he says is confessedly a movement of the President, who * desired it, First, to inangurate good feeling and understanding between the friends of the Union, under the Coustitution; Secondly, to or- ganize them into a party, to sustain his policy of restoration; and Thirdly, to present fairly to the people of the whole country the distinet issue of rein- stating the ten excluded States to their constitutional relations to the other States, without unconstitutional tests of loyalty.” These are rather stalo facts now, but Gov. Johnson has very plainly shown their im- portance: ““The worll knows that the le of the South do not ap- prove of all that was done by the Philadelphia Convention ; nor is it pretended that our delcgates did, Protest sgainst what is ob- Jectionable, by our press or our people, is totaily unuecessary ©even a4 a watter of justioe to ourselves. There is o need to define our position upon controverted questions of principle or policy; it is known and read of all m: ‘When restored 10 reprosentation we cau argne and dobate if occasion requize it ‘e shall then have an andience all even constitutea part of the tribunal to decide the gu discureed.” Again, thiz candid Rebel says: “*The Southern States, by the act of sscession, put in | two questions: pe o first, the right to secedo; and socondly, the tuation of Slavery. Both have been decided agaiust us, in ith, the award of the sword. or_constitutional rights are just what the, o i iuaertaln that Tt in the langusge of that * " the * Government acquired no new power by :l.uur,' the J;"m.ml States luln l:.u It ;": .‘w-“i”'i to uss 1) neiples now.

Itis potorious that the Rebels do not accept the loyal resolutions which the Convention, in deference to the | North, was compelled to adopt, but that they yield ~—Let us simply add to thisthat thousands of benefi- cent enterprises stand paralyzed, awaiting the return of specie prices. Every house now built, every rail- road constructed, costs fifty per cent. more than it will after we return to specio payments; and of course everything waits that can wait. Let us not fear to be bonest. A WESTERN HAMLIN. Capt. D. Btewart, who fought gallantly through the late War in bebalf of the Union, haviog returned to civil life, is a elerk in a dry goods store at Flint, Michigan, at $600 per annum. Col. McCreery of that place, baving gone over to Johnson, and been appointed Assessor of Internal Revenuc for the district, procured, while in Washington, the wholly unsolicited appointment of Post- master at Flint for Capt. Stewart—the salary $2,500 per annum. Col. McCreery bronght bome the commission and handed it to Capt. Stewart, who instantly and indignantly rejected it as an imputation on his personal integrity. Though no conditions were attached to the place, be felt that he would, if he ac- cepted it, be at least under suspicion of having **sold out;" and he preferred $600 a year with his own and his neighbors' respect to $2,500 with a taint of John- sonism on his reputation. Such is the spirit wherein the West responds to the seductions of the tempter. THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE. Mr. N. D. Sperry, Jobnson office-holder, and ope of the Raymond members of the Republican-Union National Committee, makes a statement of the matter in issue between tle Johnsonized and the Republican simply for & time in order to gain power. Gov. John- gon has to that offect directly advised the Sonth: We must get into Congress, and through the Con- vention is the only door; then we can repeal these odious laws, and compel the admission that, having yielded to the Government, it has no right to punish our crimes or require pledges that we will not renew them.” This is his argument; it is that of the burglar who, detected in his crime and knocked down by the officer, walks handcuffed into Court and demands a seat beside the Judge. The late Republican-Union State Convention of Michigan unanimously Resolved, That when the President of the United States pub- lisked bled report of Gen. Phil. Sheridan's dispateh from New Orleans, -Mcrnuod that galant soldier in sympathy with the Rebel assassins of Union men on July 30—to cover bis own authorship In the said massacre—he insuited the loyal people of the conatry and committed & base wrong upon Ges. Sheridan, whick the loyal people iadignaatly resent. The late Michigan Republican-Union State Conven- tion unanimously resolved that, since Mr. Henry J. Raymond has gone over to the adversary, “* every con- sideration of decency and personal honor require him to voluntarily withdraw” from the Chairmanship of the National Committee appointed by the last Balti- more Convention, ** and no longer hold the position while betraying the trust.” The Pittshurgh Gazette thus deals with Mr, Heister Clymer, Copperhead candidate for Governor of Peun- sylvania: You made a speech at Uniontawn on the 28th of last month which we find reported in the Democratic organ of Fayette county, This report we conelude to be fair oue.

Ta view of it, wo want The Hon. Levi 8. Chatfield, once Attorney-General of our State, made u speech to acab-load of Johuson- ites at No. 41 Grand-st. on Satarday evening, wherein The Sunday Mercury reports him as saying: _ “Though ke (Mr, C.) was po spologist for murder, there was & providence in nt which made Mr. Jobnson Presi dent. But for that event, we might hava bidden farcwell to liberty. It gertainiy looked like a Providential interference.” —Considering that it is the cne of the Johnsonites to insist that Mr. Johoson is simply enforcing Mr. Lincoln's views and giving effect to his policy, while a stray Republican was presiding over the meetin g we must think Chatfield’s remark unlucky and advise him to qualify it. The people will not easily be made to believe that, if there had been no Wilkes Booth, **we might have bidden farewell to Liberty.” The Johnsonized Republicans of this City, being permitted to send seventeen delegates to the hybrid State Convention, which assembles this week at Al- bany, have chosen themselves as follows: Heory A. Smythe, Collector of the Port; Abrabam Wake- man, Sarveyor of do.; James Kelly, Postmaster; Sberidan Stook, Collector Internal Revenue; Jobn J, Sillcock, do. do.; David Miller, Assistant do. do,; William Allen, do. do.; Pierre C. Van Wyck, Assessor do. do. A. J. Dittenhoefer, Thomas B. Asten, and Merwin R. Brewer, are all the others on the list whom we recognize as ever having professed to be Republicans at all, if these did. 8o far as we are aware, no per- son who ever was a Republican who is not now in of- fice or trying very hard to getin, is delegated from this City to the Johnson State Nomiuating Conveu- tion, Aud when the *‘ Father of the Lobby™ shall have taken his place in the purlieus of that Conven- tion, the entire Johnson party of this City, Copper- heads and Rebels excepted, will have transferred itseld to Albany, the o a mongrel State ticket, wh * to assist the nameloss party to I Den: !

Howard has received from Richmond, Va., the facts of a case that involyes the vory importaut issue, whether the sentence of a military commission, properly organized, and its verdiot officially approved, shall be set aside by the civif authority. Ou Jauuary 19, 1856, Robert Brittingbam was ar- rested at Fortross Monroe for the murder of a negro. He was tried and founa guilty by a military commission organized by order of Gen, Miles, and the sentence was approved and pro- mulgated by the Secretary of War. Oa the 18ih of March the prisoner was remanded to the Virginia State Prison at Rioh- mond, and last week, 02 a writ of habgas corpus, was taken before Judge Lyons, of Hustings Coart of that city, aud by him delivered over to Mayor Mayo for trial before his court on a criminal offense. Tue decision given for this action was that sisce the restoration of civil law the enforcing of mili- tary law againost citizens was rendered null and void. Brit- tingham was admitted to 8300 bail by the Mayor, to appear for trial November lst. (Gen. Schofield applies for instruction as to whether b shall rearrest the calprit or not. The whols case has beea referrad to Secretary Stanton. GEN. HOWARD. Rumors of the intended resignation of Gen. 0. 0. Howard as Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau are again afloat. There is no truth whatever in the statement. Gen. Howard is an army officer detailed to the charge of freedmen’s affairs. Ho cannot resign—he conld be relieved, but no ap- plication to be relieved will be made as the Presideat would construe the wish into an sckaowldgement on the part of the General that be was auable to administer the affairs of his de- partment, and Mr. Jobuson would claim this justification for the dismissal from the army of & well-known gallant officer. Gen. Howard's friends insist be shall ot place bimself in such a false position, and Secretary Stavtou piainly end om- phatically asserts that so long as he is chiof of the War De- partment, Howard shall remain Commissioner of the Bureau. GEN. SCHOFIELD. 2 Major-Gen. Schofield, commanding Department of Virginia, headquarters at Richmond, bas made the siguificant move of taking up his residence at the avowed Rebel Hotel— the Exchange. The Union citizons of that city bave been led by this and similar indifferent acts toward loyal sentl. ments to indulge in no flattering comments of this new com- wanding officer.
