THE NEW YORK TRESS. IDITORIAL OPINIONS OF THE LEADING JOURNALS UPON CURRENT TOriCS. OMFILED XVKBY PAT FOB V.MNO TU.KOU APH. Tht Atlantis) Telejrraph Ita IHonopol) by Kuglaud. From the Timt$ Lord Derby, at llib Lord Major's banquet on the 9th, said that bo regarded tliu completion ot the Atlantic telegraph hr another proof that England was mistress of the sea." Precisely in what sense he desired this phrase to be under" stood remains to be seen. It may have been simply a gracelul pleasantry, Implying that Epglaud, by completing the cable, had proved herself ablo to cope with all tho dangers and hos tilities of the deep. But it may also Imply what Is much uioro Important that by controlling the use of the coble England will make herself "mistress of the sea," and defy rivalry or suc cessful resistance. Both ends of the cable are on English sol anl under Engl.sh jurisdiction. In tueeven of war w.th tins country, no one can dou that England would monopolise the use ot it Indeed, any use thai could be made ot it would be wholly lor her advantage. Our Government would not beal'owed to concert with Conti nental powers, or with our agents at Conti nental courts, measures of war against Eneiaud over the line, nor could we use it lo expedite or direct the movemcnis of our war vessels m for eign ports. - The British Government, on the other hand, could communicate freely and hourly i"h her fleets on tuis side, an-t with her agents and representatives in British America. Whatever facilities the A'lantic tele graph can give in time of war would iuare ex clusively to the benefit of Emrlaud. In that M-nse and in that way the British I'r.me Minister may well regard the cable as making England more than ever "mistress of the sea." p We have not failed to point out this result from the time the cable enterprise was drst projected. We urged the importance ot having one end ot It ou American soil and under Ameri can control, and ot having so much ot American capital embarked in. it as wojld give us a voice in its coi.trol. Neither has been doiie perhaps both suggestions were impracticable. The cable is, to all intents and purposes, though largely indebted to American energy and enterprise for its completion, au Eng'ish woik. Both ends of it rest on British soil and are sublect to British authority. It is o wned substautially by Eneltsh, capitalists, who tlx the tarilf, and control , its working in all respects. And, what is also im portant, the English Company whioh owns the cable, owns also tho only steamer ever uilt capable ot laying down a cable across the Atlantic. It can scarcely be expected that we should regard such a state of things with permanent satisfaction. The absolute monopoly of tele graphic communication with this continent involves a iover more vast and terrible than Las ever been enjoyed by any nation in the world. What should we say if eveiy letter or written niensaee which passed between this continent and Europe, must pass through the hands and under the inspection of the Govern ment or suojects of Great Britain? Yet this monopoly, to all practical intents, is fully equivalent to that. Ibis atato ot things demands a remedy which it is not quite easy at once to find. Treaties, guaranteeing the neutrality of the cable in time of war, would be worthless, be cause the execution of them would be wholly In the hands of one party, and all treaties, more , over, are abrogated by war. We might as weil expect the English navy to remain neutral, in case ot war with us. as the English Atlantic Cable. The construction of new lines seems to offer the only solution to the diilieulty. The Russian line when completed will afford a par tial remedy, but the route is too circuitous, an I the operation of the line will be oocn to too many contingencies. The French Government is interested, as we are, in preventing an abso lute monopoly of the Atlantic for telegraphic purposes by England, or any other slugle power. Spain has indicated a purpose to con struct a line by way of Cuba, and the aid of Congress has been invoked by the company engaged in the work. -The whole subject demands the attentiou of our Government. It ought to have had it loDg ago. We should not have been content wuu encouraging and aiding the completion of the cable; We should have also taken care to pre vent its falling wholly as a weapon of hostility iuto the hands of the power which will always struggle to be "mistress of the sea." Ttiat op portunity has been lost. But we owe it to ourselves to remedy the evil as speedily and effectually as possible. Congress might very well appoint a commission or a committee for a careiul investigation of the subject. The' Republican Party and the South Tne rower ana tne uiuy or uongrtiia. From the Herald. The Republicans have more than a two-thirds vote in t aeh House of the existing Congress, and by the late elections they have secured the same power in the next Congress, if limited to the States now represented. Going before the country upon a plattorm of Southern restora tlon, requiring certain conditions precedent of the excluded Wates as the price of their read minion into Congress, this dominant party and its policy have been indorsed in all the State elections which have since occurred from Maine to Oregon. Thus, with an emphasis which admits of no pettifogging or misconstruc tion, the power and the propriety of exacting securities for the future as the price of the restoration of the lately insurgent States, have been reaffirmed by the Union States of the war. The Congress thus endorsed in a substantial re-election upon the test of the pending Consti tutional amendment, may say to tue excluded States, "This is onr ultimatum, accept it and resume your places in the Government or reject it and stay out." hut, after Ml, a leading idea of the people of the North is the SLeediest possible restoiatiun of the outside States on a solid com pact ot reunion. The Hue interpretation o' the recent elections is this that the victor aus ', .Uulon party of the war not only approves the course of its representatives in Congress in de manding of the defeated party of the Rebellion securities for the future, but authorizes Con gress to enforce its conditions by such mea ures of legislation, under the war power, as may be deemed necessary to the end proposed. Thus Congress, in a general law, may set aside all the work of reconstruction done by Mr. Johnson as President, aud may provide, first, for the appointment ot a military Governor over each ot the excluded States, aud next, for the election of Legislatures and regular Gov ernors therein, under such restrictions or ex tensions of the rights of suffrage as the two Houses may see fit to impose. Some such course as this has now, we contend, become the duty of Congress, la view of "the general welfare" and the "blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity," inasnfktch as it is manifest that the excluded State, as now or ganized, will not, if lelt to themsolyei, ratify the pending amendment for years to conoe, and because it is evident, too, that those States, as now organized, instead of giving strength to the Governmeut, are weakening it and bringing it into reproach, and subjecting it to the dangers of new civil commotions, South and North. In a contracted party view of the subject, the . , policy pf leaving - the outside Stale lo their course of "masterly inactivity" may appear the t winning game in view ol their exclusion for the approaching Presidential election. But the Re publicans will be plaving a safer ga-ne thsn this in a bolder hand of statesmanship. Wisdom, Justice, policy, and auruauity Itself call for a THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH.

In the United States District Court In the State of Delaware, a decision Las been rendered by Judge Hall, releasing from Imprisonment in Fort Delaware' four persons, who ha I been arrested, tried, and convicted by the military authorities of the United States In Sjulh Ciro lina, in December, 18C5. The prisoners had been found guilty beloie a court-martial, of which General Devoi s was President, of having volun tarily aided in the assault made on the United State troops stationed at Brown's Ferry, South Carolina, in October, 1805. Judee Hall oriered the discbnige of the prisoner on a writ of habeas corpus, on the ground that the Military Commission was with out jurisdiction in tho case; declaring it as his opinion, that the Ueuelliou ua-t ceased in Aoril, lHua; and, masuiucn ,s tne rrcsideut's procla mation, issued iu June, appointing a i'roisional Governor lor Sou'h Carol nu, ordered "the Dis trict Judge for the d strict in which that State is included, to proceed to hold courts," the State was in the exerc soot all its civil luucMons beiore the issuing of the order for tne organiza tion ot th Commission by which tno prisouer hau been tried and condemned. The pom a of greatest interest in the decision of Julge tiau are, tnat tno itcDeuton nad ceased and the authority of the United Statos was acknow ledged iu South Carolina in April, liO; ant tbaf, after the appointment of a Provisional GoveiLor for any Sta'e bv the Prestdejt, the military torces or tne uaited :a'.c3 were Hu out authority t J arrest aud try i.ersous beiore military commissions. The practice ot th Gov ernment officers in all the Southern States dur'nir the past year and a hal', b th under the Freedman's Bureau bill aud General Grant'6 order, are decidedly against tho position tak!n by the Delaware Judge. It Is not likely, there fore, that he will be s uotatned. General Dix and Dr. Butler. from the World. General Dix sailed on Saturday for Europe, to enter upon his- duties as Minister of the United States near the Court of St. Cloud. It is the reasonable hope of all good patriots that, in the discharge ot these duties, General Dix may conciliate the good-will of the frunuh Government without compromising the dig ntiy ot the Union, and that he tuty effect a peaceable settlement of the many vexed aud vexatious questions which, in one way or another, Mr. Seward has contrived to keep alive between Paris and Washington. One chapter at least in the history of the connec tion of General Dix with the pubi c events of the last rive years, which has never before been accurately made public, it is worth while now to bring forward; because, while it is calculated to increase the public confidence in the fimess ot General Dix for the important post he is no about to till, it will also serve the equnlly desirable end oi increasing tne public contempt lor Dr. Butler. While the steamer wuicl bears General Dix on a national mission to Krauce will be ploughing her eabrwnrd way across the A lantie. Dr. Butler, if there be truth in the 'lri'jvne ami Jndej,erideiU, will be prophesying tbines rougher than toe Atlantic waves to the sang unary saints of Brooklyn. He will be cheering their sweet souls with his description ot the citizens of New York as thieves, bullies, bab-murder-ers, tools, and cowards; he will be promising them the banaiug of all "Copperueuols," "Rebels," and "disloyal per-ous" in the land, he will show them how easy aad delirbtiul a thing it will be to impeach the President, cashier General Grant, banish General Huerinai, and anticipate the millennium ot Dr. Cummings by putting Ben Wade in (he seat of Washington, and turning over the command of the armies of the Uniied States to himself, Dr.B. F. Butler. All this "tall talk" of the hero of Dutch Gap will be made the easier to him by his knowledge that General Dix L (airly on bis way out ot the country. For in the iiresenco of General Dix, Dr. Butler, uttering truculent speeches and giving uimHelt the airs of a Tumerlatie, at New York, can never, for two years past, have been exactly comfortable. While he has passed cur rent with the couDtry at large as the despot who coerced New York iuto order at the time of the Presidential election In 18(i4. Butler hnn-,elf bus known full well that be btood beiore General Dix as "FalstaM" stood before "Prince Hal," and roins wnen ne naa gore tnr ugh with his won denul narrative of the rogues in buckram routed by his trusty sword: "What a slave art thou, to nack thy sord, as thou hust done, and then say it was in tight I" Ihe pomp and circumstauco with which the Conqueror of New Orleans" descended upon the metropolis in 1864, the noise of his orderll-s and his horses, the clattering ot his spurs, the pistols dibplaed upon his table at the Hodman House, Ihe splendor of his epaulettes, and the fanfaronade of the radical papers in his honor, blinded everybody at the time. The contemptu ous indiflerence of General Dix has kept them blinded ever since to the truth of this curious history. Let it be ours now briefly to set it forth. Dr. Butler, on arriving at the Hoffman House in October, 18t4, reported tor public service to General Dix; but immediately began bis own Srivate arrangements (or preparing riots in ew York. He sent tor a lew small politicians, whom he scared with his horse-pistols, and kept up a larce ot receptions and btHolal inter views, which lor a few days very successfully veiled Jus real performances. The general theory of these perlorruaacej was, that if small gquuds of soldiers should be posted all over the city on election day at. the different polls, ho where in numbers strong enough to awe a really angry crowd, and everywhere with orders to make the crowd angry, n would be pretty nearly lmpohsiblo . for the day to Cass off without one or more such collisions etween the populace and' the. soldiery as might make a serioua mtlit-iry deuoustratlon at least plausibly justifiable. In prepiratiea for such a demonstration the main body of the troops in. and about the city were to. be with drawn lrom their ususoal quarters In the forts aud Mands, aud so posted as to be disposable for suddenly and completely overpowerlau the citizens, and practically voiding the daj's elec tion, so far as New YorV was concerned. It was a very pretty plan on the whole, and not uo-k.il-Milly n fuelled upon those demonstrations of D'omiberin Paris, whioh lollowed the Napole onic Mp detat, and upon which toe Iribvnebma, tit divers times, bettoed so much ani mioa hoar iv vituiveralion. But, befoie it had been lull.v ripened, imormatlon of what wm smug oa reached the actual commander of Ibe Depart ment of theEaL General Dix, under whose oroers Dr. Butler had ol course been put when became to New York, at once perceived the inevitable tendency ot the Doctor' tmenious combination', and revolting at' once lrom the imol' ul pre tensions of his subordinate and m u the shocking prospect 'if a positive civil stii einthe stree s and sqnares of tula great city, he, despatched a distinct and peremptory order to I r. Bu ler to desist lrom his- arrangc mmts. and abSolutclv foibade lnm ta moe a btrjglc soldier in or about the capital without an explicit command to that eheci Itom the Head quarieisol the Depsrtment. Bv this ac ion oi General Dix the catastroplio for which Butler longed was averted. The citv was remitted on election day to the regular and orderly protection ot its own laws and its own people; and, as we know, the contest passed off, exciting ns it wa, without so muco disturbance as would be necessary to make a tine old Irish gentlemen ieel that he had really dltd, and been "waked" and "buried dacently." Butler, disapf ointeo of his anttci) ated carnival ot blood enru, tytanny, and plunder, contrived, how ever, to stra I a certain measure of "thunder," as the author of the peace which it had been his mission and his etlort to mturb. As the law has compelled Lim to disgorge the titty thousand dollars in gold which he cribbed at New Oilcans, and kept for lour ear, lot tbo testimony now deprive him of this ill-gotten kudo also. To General Dix helonas the honor of having kept the peace of New York in H84, by the umple expedient of ic.ting New York alone. To Dr. Butler belongs the shame of having secictly planned in 18U4. ihe opportu nity lor which he bus openly longed in IWid, ol "hnnpirg up" and "shootintrdown" tho "rabble" of tbc first city of the Western World.
