NM MUNCIE ATLANTIC WILL The Vounsany tuft Flurry. Tbe 'Washington correspondent of the New ork Tinies says : The French Cable agents in this country are in a great deal of perturbation over the coin - lineations in which they find themselves, in 9OnteUence of the refusal of the French di --;:rettors-to ratify the - conditions upon- which `the Secretary of State allowed them to land . their line upon our shores. Erlanger 4& Co., principal owners, flatly refused assent to the arrangement* of their American agents, and the 'cable is now being operated simply by sufferance of the State Department until Congresstakes action on the subject. The matter was forcibly presented in the Presi dent's Message, and a joint resolution is be fore the Senate defining the grounds upon which such concessions shall be made. The Secretary of State hop es for early Action, so that he may be guided by a Positive.expression of the views of Congress, and tie will then en force the conditions vigorously, The action of the French managers has .been such that if Congress was not in session *he would' be justified in seizing the shore end of the wire at once. In the meantime, Mr. Wat son, the American manager, has left for France to endeavor to induce the Company to accept the conditions of this Government. It seems that Erlanger's reason for declining to do so heretofore, was his pretended belief that,-having obtained the. consent of Massa chusetts,_ the doctrine of States Rights - would protect him. He was such a thorough Rebel that he has not yet learned that we settled that question with the war. He will be wiser when he learns that his doctrine of State rights will not enable him to lay a cable to this country with both ends in the Tui leries. THE FINE ARTS.
