The cable informs us that the principle ad , ltanced in President Grant's message relative 110 the subject of ocean cables has caused much excitement in Paris. • This French flurry doubtless would be increased if it were known that the President expressed exactly the .senti runt of the nation upon this general subject, and probably foreshadowed the action of Con gress in the matter of the . French cable. Thai French Company were accorded reluctant per mission to land their cable upon our shores, with the distinct understanding that they should surrender the privilege given to them by the French Government of an exclusive right to land cables on the coast of France. Their cable is now in operation. and they still retain their privilege, and offer an effectual re ••&stance to the Operations of any company that Army desire to compete with them. The Pres'- . dent echoes the often expressed opinion of :'.American journals, when he declares that neither the French Government nor any other foreign government shall give to any company a monopoly of this kind, in cases where the cables are landed in the United States. If we concede privileges to foreign cable corpora ' tions, (vial privileges must be given to Ameri cans. , The President recommends that .Con gress shall legislate upon this matter in such a way as to protect the dignity of the nation and the rights of our citizens against such outrageous insolence as that displayed by the Frenchmen; and we sincerely hope some such action will be taken at an early day in the session. A forinal demand must be made upon France to recall the concessions given to Erlanger and Renter, and to permit American citizens to run cables between, the United States and France, if they wish to ,do so. If this necessary and reasonable demand is re fused, we must proceed even to the extremity of casting of the present cable from our shores. This is a severe remedy, but it will be necessary if France is obstinate., We cannot hesitate to adopt violent measures when the plainest rights of our Citizens are endangered, and when a total dis regard of the commonest international courtesy Is manifested by our neighbors. But we do not apprehend the worst results. When our intention to remove the cable is known, the French company will yield. Without access to our shores their enterprise would be abso lutely worthless. They will readily surrender their monopoly in France. rather than lose their privileges in America. We demand,there fore, that Congress shall give quick considers to the subject, and proceed to the end without any regard for the influence which will be brought to bear upon them by the instruments of the French monopolists. • A PHILADELPHIA MINING ENTER- PRISE. Testerday we had the pleasure of seeing a consignment of gold, of the value of $50,450, just received by the Orinoco Exploring and Mining Company, at their office No. 426 Wal nut street. The company's mines and works are in the State of Guayana, South America, about, ninety miles south of the Orinoco river. The amount received yesterday was the result of fifty-eight days run of its mill No. 1. ' twenty stamps, which has been working since April of the present year, and has now sent home gold to the amount of over $114,000. The company is now despatching to its works another mill of thirty-five stamps, by a vessel too sail on the 20th inst., which will be running by next April. The Orinoco Exploring and Mining Com pany is a Philadelphia concern. Its officers are as follows: President, B. Frank Folsom; Vice President, Joseph• B.LAustin ; Treasurer, Thomas B. Wattson. Thde gentlemen, who are well-known. PhiladelphianS, have been identified with the enterprise from its begin ning. The grant of land was made by the State of Guayana to Mr. Austin, in 18437 ; it was surveyed and located by the Company in 1868; the mills and mining equipments were despatched early in the same year, and work was commenced in April, 1860. The product, already large, will be greatly increased by the new mill. The gold, on its arrival here, is sent immediately to the Philadelphia Mint. It is very gratifying to announce the success of an enterprise carried on by Philadelphia capital, energy and skill, and'this is the sole ob ject of this article ; for there is no stock of the Orinoco in the market. The members of the company, knowing they have a good thing,. keep true stock to themselves and do not need either pulling or advertising. The State of Guayana, which is their field of operations, unlike most parts of South America, has en joyed perfect internal tranquility ever since its separation from Spain. The people are in dustrious, orderly and honest to a remarkable degree. The precious metal is transported on the backs of mules, without guards, to the point. of shipment on the Orinoco, and it has never been molested; property and life being more secure even than they are in the streets of Philadelphia or New York. We congratu late the members of the Orinoco on the re ward their energy and enterprise are now re ceiving. MISCHIEF MAKING. We have already taken occasion to deprecate the intemperate zeal, by means of which a few newspaper writers and others have done what they canto tighten the noose about the neck of a man-about to be hung for a crime of which he has never been fairly convicted, and which, in very strong probability, was never committed. The best causes are constantly damaged by bad advocates, and Dr. Schoeppe's case, one of the strongest that was ever preSented to the Execu five of any State, is in danger of being preju diced by.the interjection of useless and ground less personalities, the only effects of which are to confuse the public mind about a question In itself of the utmost simplicity; and to tempt the authorities thus assailed to persist, by way of self-defence, in an attitude from which we be- THE DAILY EYANINGVAPTINrraI. C ". 000 ,1 :91 *Po lieve their natural instincts of humanity and justice would make them glad to recede. , Some of :these personalities have brought out the Distriet-Attoreey of Cumberland county in a letter in, which he flatly contra-, diets imputations east, upon him iatliiCivAy., This contradiction, so far, as it relates to that official's' alleged connection with the ease, is perfectly proper to have been made. But it must not be allowed to have any other weight, as It does not touch any of the naerits of this grave case.' Its endorsement of Dr. Herman, whose testimony has excited so much animad version, does not in, any way affect the fact that his and the other medical testimony for the prosecution have been contradicted by an overwhelming mass of scientific testrmeny on the other side.. Dr. Schoeppe's case is an extremely simple one. Ile was convicted of having murdered a woman by poison. It is fully established by the highest authorities upon the subject that no poisoning was proved, either by prtuisic morphia or a combination of the two. It is also fully established, by the same high au thorities, confirmed by some of the witnesses for the prosecution, that both ante-mortem and post-mortem symptoms of death from natural causes existed in the ease. • -If a - man is held in law to be innocent until he is proved to be guilty, then the total failure to prove the pres ence of poison proved the fact' of natural death: These are the simple grounds upon which the appeal for Dr. Schoeppe's reprieve or pardon rests, and they are unanswerable. All the collateral questions about the will and the alleged forged check are totally separate and apart from the crime for which this man was indicted, and for which, with no proper proof to sustain the indictment, it is now pro posed to hang him. It is natural and right that there should be a deep and wide popular feeling upon this sub ject, since it is one closely affecting the honor of Pennsylvania and the highest claims of jus tice and humanity. A great voluntary Comthission, comprising a very large representation of the medical, sur gical and Chemical learning of the United States, has given- this subject its anxious, care ful,. impartial investigation. Its verdict is unanimous, and;we do not wonder that where ever it has been presented to educated or intel ligent minds, it has carried with it the settled conviction that there is no justificationfor the execution of this condemned man. Common Council acted yesterday with a broad and liberal view of the advantages to be derived to the city by the grant of land for the use of the University of Pennsylvania. By a nearly unanimous vote, that branch of the city government agreed to fix the price of the land at $B,OOO per acre, upon the sound principle that the city is to be benefitted by the estab lishment of this great educational institution, upon the enlarged foundation now proposed. Will not Select Council respond generously, and without further delay, to this proper ac tion of Common Council? The University question has been thoroughly ventilated, and it is to be presumed that everybody is now satisfied that there is no job or speculative scheme in this matter: The protracted delays in settling it must be extremely disheartening to the public-spirited citizens who are striving to secure for Philadelphia the high literary and scientific advantages which the University of Pennsylvania will be able, with this assistance, to afibrd. The President of the German Hospital of this city announces that the institution is in dire need, and he appeals to the ,benevolent to contribute to its support. The Hospital is open • to all, of whatever color, creed or nationality, who may need its ministrations: This alone should recommend it to the public, and induce ,a quick and generous response to• the appeal for assistance. Those who desire to give to the charity may send donations of fifty.ffiffiars and upwards to the banking house of MessrS. Drexel & Co., and smaller gifts (which will be received gladly) to John D: Lankenaw, Esq., PreSident of the institution, No. 84 South Third street. We sincerely hope that the mere an nouncement of the wants of the Hospital will inspire our citizens to supply the deficiencies and give to the institution that perfect efficiency that it should have.

Nri. 6 Nassau Street, Nero York, To our Customers and Correspondents . The surprising development of our national resourceS and the rapidity with which the government is now en• . tilled to reduce the national debt, by weekly Durohues, sender it apparent that the time is. approaching when the Five-Twenty bonds may be funded at not over four or four and a half per cent. interest. Meanwhile their high price, as compared with other classes of securities paying an equal rate of interest, is lkisding to general inquiry for more pregnable fortis — elf investment in which money may be safely invested. During the war the necessities and peril of the govern ment, and the consequent cheapness of its securities, rendered them so attractive that, from this cause, com bined with the patriotic faith of the people in their safety, they absorbed almost the entire floating capital of the country, and diverted attention from other classes of securities which had before been deemed suMcientlV conservative and sound to meet tho wants of the most cautious investors. The government is no longer a borrower. It no longer needs the country's capital, but desires gratefully and honorably to repay it. The rapid accumulation of capital for investment, and the reduction of the national debt and improvement of the national credit—rendering it certain that hereafter but a comparatively low rate of interest can be derived from investment in governmentt bonds—ls compelling the search fur other safe and well guarded channels into which capital not employed in business may wisely flow. The enterprises of Peace, no less needful in their time and place, for the comtnon welfare, than were the waste and cost of Wax, now cull for the capital which the go• vernment no longer needs, and offer for 'lts use a remu neration which the government need no longer pity,' and in some cases, a security as stable and enduring us the faith of the nation itself. The desire to capitalize the premium which may now be realized upon Five-Twenty bonds, and which a ma terial decline in Gold toward par, and the ability of the Government to fund them at a lower rate of interest,ntay at any time extinguish, is felt by many holders who de in, some satisfactory, assurance as to which of the many lower-priced securities in the market would afford the accessary safety to justify an exchange. - The applications for information and advice which are addressid to us daily, show how 'universal is the desire for this assurance, as to what forms of investment more profitable than Government securities at present market rates, are entitled to the confidence of investors. The pressure of this want bas led as to feel the import ance of directing our own attention as bankers, our large experiencemnd our facilities for obtaining reliable information—to the work of supplying it in some mea sure, and to offer the results of our inquiries to those who may be disposed to confide in our good faith and judgment. . We era unwilling to offer to our friends and the public anything which according to our tilt judgment Is not as secnre as the national obligations themselves, with Which we have hitherto principally identified ourselves. Since closing the GREAT CENTRAL PAGIVIC RAILROAD' LOAN, which • meets all those require ments, we have carefully examined many others, but have found no other which would fully do so, until the tollowing was placod in our hands FIRST MORTGAGE SIX PER CENT. GOLD BONDS OF THE WESTERN PACIFIC R. R. CO. OF CALIFORNIA. The Western Pacific Railroad connecting Sacramento with San Francisco, furnishes the final link in the ex traordinary fact of an unbroken line of rail from the shore of the Atlantic to that °Utile Pacific.

The disposition to settle the election in that method is on the increase. Golkulay's repudiation speech on Wednesday night has done him no good', but rather proved to weaken his influence.

'Natural Phenomena In Germany. The'Priissian journals state that shocks of earthquake were still felt at Grozis Geran. A Niter from that place sets forth that on the night of November 14 to November .13, within the space of four hours and a half, twenty-four peals of subteranueous thunder, seven of them accompanied by shocks, were distinctly heard. The shaking motion of the earth was violent enough to waken the soundest sleepers.; In the night of the 16th to 17th inst., the thundering was repeated _sixty times Liu three hours, and betweent and o'clock A. 31., a shock was felt which shook the houses and made the walls and beam's creak. At present there seem to be alternate intervals of repose and convulsion. the duration of each being a re* hours. On the 19th inst., at 6.30 in the evening, another pretty severe Shock was felt at Grass Gerau. The Rheinischer Courier says that according to. measurements taken by some engineer officers, the whole sitebf the little town is now two or three inches lower than it was before the earthquake visitation. Notwithstanding the great number of shocks that have Bern, felt, none of the honses have fallen, though walls are to be seen in many' places curving outward, and between forty and fifty chimneys are in a precarious condi tion. A letter trom Darmstadt, written last Monday, announces that the shocks in Gross Goren are again increasing „in fre queney and intensity. The writer ids that many of the inhabitants are suffering from many forms of nervous disease, and even in sanity has in some eases been produced by the perpetual anxiety to which these alarming phenomena have given rise.

The New York /Money Market. From the Herald of to-day.] Tit rne rove, Dec. 9.—The day was one of realizations in the stock and gold market where, under the disposition to take profits. prices fell off. Gold opened at LW', and gradually declined to 123?e1. The Government sold a mil lion today at the Sub-Treasury. The bids were for a total of nearly three millions, at prices ranging from 1::2,31 to 123.70. It will be seen by our Washington re ports that Mr. Ingersoll introduced a bill' to provide for the issue of forty •four millions additional currency, but subsequently withdrew it. Either the fact had not become generally known on the Street or else the withdrawal of t bill checked any bpecolath•ti action - based upon it, for gold did not scent to advance upon what is rather a start ling proposition. - Ingersoll; in takink this step, has indicated the agitation which the West inteuels making on the currency question. A reeolntion for the appoint ment of a select committee to investigate the circum stances attending the gold panic in September was lost. This la perhaps the beat fate that could attend the mat ter.
