The diplomatic note lately addressed by Becretary Fisit to the representatives of France and England, on tho subject of the French telegraph cable, {s a model of manly Btraightforwardness, as well as courteous phraseology. There is no doubt of its mean. ing. It saysas plainly as words can be made to aay it, without descending to coarse threats, that the cable shall not be landed on our shores until the principle of reciprocity proclaimed last winter by Congress shall be reoognized by the French Government ; nor In any event antil the consent of the Ameri: can people is asked for and obtained from its regular authorities, Woe presume that force will not be required to make good the inti. mations of the Secretary ; but if the French Company should goon to defy and insult our Government, by landing their cable without this consent, it should be promptly forth coming to repel the outrage. Any failure now to prevent the cable from being landed until permission has been obtained would make the Administration supremely ridicu- lous. — The Better Way. Some gentlemen from Canada have just arrived in Washington to talk over the sub ject of @ new reciprocity treaty, Mr. Scere tary Fist has welcomed them h the dig nity and urbanity of a gentleman of the old school,and they are now solemnly deliberating on the provisions which they would like to have incorporated in a new convention. But if they make a treaty, will it be ratified ? That is not so certain. Mr. Fist may think he can get it through, but so thought Mr. Sewano about Reverpy Jonnson’s Ala. bama treaty, until the Hon, Cuan.es Sum. en knocked it higher than a kite. We don't Delieve that the sort of reciprocity which is now contemplated can fare much better, But if our Canadian friends wish to make a treaty that will pass Congress and stand for 8 thousand years, let them negotiate for the admission into the American Union of the Canadas, Nova Scotin, New Brunsw! Prince Edward Island, Cape Breton, New foundland, Labrador, British Columbia, th Hudson's Bay ‘Territory, Prince Rupert's Land, and all the of rest the con, tinent north of the present frontier. That would make six or seven new Btates of the Union to start with, having Congressmen, Governors, Lieutenant-Gover nors, United States Senators, Judges, spies upon Cuban fillibusters, custom house officers, postinasters, mail contractors, and internal officers without num- ber. What a prospect this would open to the ambition of the great men and patriots of the Dominion! As for the now State Legia latures, the present members of the Provincial and Dominion Parliaments are already sufli ciently corrupt to enter into immediate con petition with the best that we have to show on this side of the line, Tn swindling rail road concerns the Canadians are also fully our equals, Indeed, there is no great obsta- cle to the immediate conclusion of a treaty of annexation. Buch a treaty wight be finished before the meeting of Congress in December, and con- summated in season for the Hon, Joserit Howe, the eloquent statesman of Nova Beotia, to be appointed Secretary of the Navy in Mr. Ropeson's place before the end of President Guant's first year of office; and we will undertake that he will not be in office half an hour without revoking Boure’s illegal order giving British names to Ameri- cau ships, Let the Canadian Commissioners reflect seriously on this subject. If their over- tures for annexation are cautiously made, wo have no doubt Mr. Fisit will receive thom in a kindred spirit, By this means the: will get a real and not a sham reciprocity ; and they may be sure that their constituents will never be in danger of losing again the advantages secured for them by their efforts, aaa The Coming Total Ectipse—A Rare Chance to See Darkness, There is to be an eclipse of the sun on the 7th of August next, which will be total throughout a large section of the United States, upon a path including North Carolina and the southern part of Virginia, and run- ning northwest through Kentucky and Towa to Oregon. In New York the obscura. tion will be partial only. The more favorable positions for observing this eclipse aro as far west a8 possible from the Atlantic seaboard, Near our coast it will take place shortly before sunset, and so must be observed when the sun is not far above the horizon, Owing to the greater amount and density of the intervening atmosphere under these circumstances, astronomers can. ‘not make their observations to #o much ad. vantage as in localities where the eclipse wil occur at ancaslier hour in the day, This will be the case further west. Scientific expeditions for observing this eclipse have been fitted out at the Govern: ment Naval Observatory in Washington, and at the Litehficld Observatory attached to Hamilton College in this State. The party from Hamilton will station themselves some- where in the neighborhood of Des Moince, Jowa. With the exception of the two men- tioned, we have heard of no other expedi- bons. It seems strange that the city of New York, with all its wealth and influence, and revenue lend no aid to science in the observation of this great eclipse, So favorable an opportu nity of this kind will not occur again in this country during the present century. The demand of the ago is for Increased sclentific knowledge; and men eminent 1n science look upon total eclipses of the ann as means of the highest Importance for advancing our information respecting the physical universe There fs but one observatory In New-York, and that is a private one belonging to Mr. Retienrenn, who, although an amateur, Nias made probably the best photographs of the moon ever taken, Although Columbia College, New York University, and the Froe City College all teach astronomy, no one of them has an observatory, Notwithstanding this, if the professors at these institutions would go energetically to work, animated by the right spirit, New York could yet send out an expedition to ob- serve the eclipse. If Prof. Peck, of Colum. bia College, who is well qualified for the un- rtaking by his West Point education and his experience as an engineer officer, were to secure the codperation of Mr. RuTHERFURD, of Prof. Draven of the University—who also has made a fine photograph of th moon—and the aid of the scientific instruc tors In the Free College,a party might be made up by them which would be without superior in acientifie ability in this country, There area hundred young students in the city who would gladly lend thvir assistance and we feel sure that the Trustees of Co- Jumbia and the University would generously furnish all the required pecuniary ald if such fA project were once set on foot. If Gen. Grant Wants a Steamboat, Let him Hire On A writer in the Brooklyn Union thinks the people ought to stop taking Tun Sux because It denounces the blunders, follies, and faults of President Grant, such as his Appointment of Avavetus Forp to office in violation of law, and his taking the war steamer Tallapoosa, without the consent of Congress, as a pleasure yacht, in order that he may travel about at the public expense and save his own money, ‘This poor-spirited, unpatriotic man of Brooklyn is in favor of GRaNt’s doing just as he pleases, and hates Tur Sun for letting the public know about it. Well, we can tell him that Tne Sun now circulates over fifteen thousand copies a day morethan when it first saw that if a bold volee were not raised at once to check the Prosident’s mistaken and pernicious career, he would go straight to ruin, and do im- mense harm tothe country, Ever since that we have spoken right out in meeting, and the people have come up by thousands to listen, while our daily readers have become a mighty multitude. Gen. Grant, too, has listened, and has sent poor old Mr, Boni home to Philadelphia. Weare sorry to say that the change hasn't amounted to much, however, for Bonre’s successor has only furnished the President with the Tallapoosa, when be ought to have told him to hire his own steamboat if he wanted one. In despotic governments, like that of France, the Emperor goes about in public vessels just as he likes, but in this country woe prefer a different system ; and the Presi dent and Secretary of the Navy will do well to remember it in future, ee ‘The chances of the election of Mr. Sunt Conservative Republican, ax Governor of Ten neasee, over Mr. Stokes, Radical, seem to be constantly increasing.

At that time Friend Janney had visited but three of the agencies—those for the Winnebagoes, the Omahas, and the Pawnees, With each of these tribes he had held a council, and found them much pleased at having Friends for their care-takers, They call the agent Father, the Superintendent Grandfather, and the President of the United States Great Father, or Great-grandfather, Of these three tribes the Winnebagoes are, Friend Jaxnay thinks, the best informed, but the most demoralized; the Ow has the most orderly aud virtuous, and the Paw- nees the most warlike, The last mentioned are loss civilized than the others, but they have one redeeming characteristic. They do not drink ardent spirits, and will not allow it to be brought on their reservations, Our sober Friend also has had his eyes open to female beauty, but sorrow- fully records; ‘Ihave not yet seen a handsome Indian woman.” Nor does he hold out hopes of immediate good results from his labors among the Indians, though he is confident that by right treatment and judicious appliances they may in time be civilized and Christianized, From the report of a base ball game, printed elsewhere, it will be seen that the Mutuals have taken the advice of Tus . ~~, The Hon, Toxy Hantwax yesterday proved hin to Swanpeit, But Capt, W not gone far enough with his reconstructed nine.

Adams, Wm, Foley, and Franeis MeCrave is that in December, 1968, and January, 1960, they are borne out as recely- ing for Iabor more than they actually received oF earned, The evidence of John Long was that he never recetpted on the rolls, and that the rent the Inet year was $14.0 month, that he collected the rent, and that the pay rolls showed, on an average, aboot $149 week, viz. : over $90 a month, or £74.90 In the seven months from Angust, 1968, to Febroary, 1960, both Inctustve, Long distinetly swenrs that he never labored for Doolittie, Tho only evidence for the defence, that of Cooper, which we shall show Is Inndmissibie, and of Donaldson, the clerk, who testifies that he did just what he was told to do, admits that rent was borne oat under the item of labor, under the name of Jobn Long. If this is not conclusive of frand, the Aesist- ant Burveyor, who testifies that all the welghers were instructed hundreds of times about ther due tes, and that when they were tn d bt were to go to the Surveyor, testifies that weighers were not usually allowed anything for rent; that his practice was to disapprove that item on the rolls, only a# rent; that when borne out it was the eustom and rule to designate it ny its name “ rent," not * la dor ;'* Hut that all that welghers were allowed was 8 a your for storage of tools; there was no occa tion oF allowance for rent, a» weighers lad an office in the Custom House, THM FRAUDULENT PAY ROLLS.

F any further evidence necessary, we huve but to cur to the admissions of defend witnesses—his foreman and clerk—that many other incidental ex- penses, such as oil, atores, repairing tools, &e., were falsely borne out on the accounts as charged to labor; also to their testimony that it wax customary ‘to carry out on their accounts more than the labor- ers had earned, aud that greater charges ul been made than the labor called for, and that extra labor had been put down, Surety this i# fraud—system. atic, habitaal—yea, more, ® deeply conceived and successful conspiracy to detraud the Government by means of false exhibits and vouchers made. WHO BAGGED THE MONEY, It 4s admitted that these false pay rolls were pre- sented to the nuditor for payment, Donaldson says: “Sometimes Mr, Cooper, otherwise, Mr, Doolittle recelved the money." “I never knew Mr, Doolittle to pay a laborer.” “I have known where leas money was paid out than Mr. Doolittle was pald, or received from the Government. For example, Hunt te sald to have received $19.50 when he might not have done $19.50 worth.” Again he says, “the pay rolla were made out Vouchers, and sent to the auditors,and the moneys to the amounts of the tol. 's borne out tn the pay rolls, were obtained by Mr Doolittle and disbursed, I did not receive the en: lire amount, but abont enough to pay the hands, len were sent down who never did work, I was simply told they came from the Custom House, and Was told to give them employment and do for them the best Leould, I think those men were employed for a month.” wv ATTLE’S FOREMAN’S TESTIMONY.
