The to Telegraph•
We publish this morning a portion of a
very interesting letter from the New York
Herald relative to the ocean telegraphic ar
rangement, which is of interest.
'rss J(TUIZNAL
A couple of weeks since, when the presen
editor of the Commercial Jo triad assumed his
position, we spoke of him in such terms as
we thought him entitled to from our previous
knowledge of him. Since we have controlled
the Post, we have most studiously avoided
personalities, and ever treated those wt o ope
posed tie as gentlemen. Our own self-respect
required this at onr hands, and the same res
spect for ourself now makes it incumbent
upon us to notice in fitting terms an uncalled
for, ungentlemanly, most offensive and utterly
false attack upon us and our position, which
the editor of the Journal has made in his
paper of Thursday morning. His fresh very
dancy in the editorial calling may perhaps
excuse him for errors of fact, but the malice
which he has exhibited in his studied misrep
resentation of us, admits of no excuse, for
direct falsehood is abhorrent to all the attri
butes of an honorable gentleman, or a fair and
manly political opponent. If the editor of
the Journal cannot appreciate the difference
between the publication of political speeches
and " extolling " and endorsing them, in chars
itq we will set that down to his ignorance of
how newspapers are conducted. As a public
newspaper, the Post has laid before its readers
the speeches of statesmen on any side of any
question, and on the Lecompton issue it has
endeavored to give both sides an equally fair
hearing. To the extent of our ability and
the capacity of our journal we have endea
vored to make it a Ivies paper, and like other
newspapers, we have laid before our readers
such matter as in our judgment they desired
to obtain. Neither the publication of reports
of speeches, nor the pracedings of public
meetings, here or elsewhere, as matter of
news, has bound us to the sentiments of those
speeches, nor the resolutions of those meets
ings. The public, wiser than the editor of the
Journal, who is still in his editorial swaddling
clothes, and cannot be expected to know
everything, has fully understood our course
in this matter. Our aim has been to inform
our readers—not extol men. That the Journal
has not chosen to keep pace with the news of
• the day is no fault of its present editor, but
it is hie fault that he recklessly t ,wakes ascer4
tions regarding our course, without inform.
ing himself of the facts, and with, to say the
least, a most culpably careless disregard of
truth.
• The Journal says " the Post was first for
the Senate bill." This is false ;we advocated
the passage of the bill offered by Mr. Mont
gomery, se a fair compromise, and one which
would end the question, and the English
compromise bill, which we never advocated,
we have sustained since it became a law, be
cause we believe it is right to sustain all laws
while they are laws, because it does not
greatly differ from Mr. Montgomery's bill,
which we did advocate, and because its pas
sage is a signal defeat of the machinations of
the Black Republican party. The President's
and the tlovernor's messages we approved,
and we have yet to learn that they are not
still approved by the Democratic party.
But it was not our intention, when we com
menced waiting this article, to defend our
course. The approval of the readers of the
Post has saved us any such necessity. We
wish to call the attention of the editor of the
Journal to the discourteous and unmanly
terms with which he has charged us with ins.
consistency, denies us the merit of honesty
of purpose, and attributes to us an utter want
of principle. If the constitutional nervous
irriitability, under which his words were
manifestly penned, has subsided sufficiently
to permit his judgment to act, be will, if he
has any regard for the truth, admit his error.
He has yet Ito learn, that although,as an advice
sate his conscience may have permitted him to
sustain the side which paid his fee, without a
strict regard to truth, as an editor, we at least,
shall not permit him to falsify our position,
by malicious assertions, which he cannot sus
tain by the record. We are willing to give
him time for reconsideration, and to make
amends for).he injustice which he has most
wantonly done us.
The Union now consists of thirty'two States.
Minnesota has been admitted, the Senate bill
for that purpose having passed the House
without amendment. This might and should
have been done last December or January
with as much propriety as now. We rejoice,
however, that it has been eamitted at last, and
welcome the new State into the Union as a
Democratic State. Her Senators are both
veteran memb2rs of the National Democratic
party, and her two Representatives are also
Democrats. We bid Minnesota Welcome—
a double welcome as a Democratic State.
The passage of the aet of admission was greet
ed in Washington by a salute of thirt”two
guns.
A little paragraph in the telegraph news
furnished by the arrival of the steamer Van
derbilt from Europe, stating that an inquiry
was being made in that country into the state
of 'affairs between the two nations," and that
Spain wo ald go to war with this country,"
proves to be a misapprehension, and is found
ed on the following :
" SPAIN.—The London Chronicle correspon
dent says :—ln the Chamber of Deputies, at the
commencement of the sitting of the 2 1 411 idst.,
M. Gulierez de lc Vega inquired in what state
were the relations between Spain and the ailed
States, inasmuch as telegraphic despatches ated
that the last accounts from Amet lea spoke of ru
mors of war between the two countries."
This, says the North Amcrzcun, amounts to
just nothing at all, as a demonstration. Spain
is by no means an x ious for a war with us, the
fate of Cuba in any such event being too well
known.

in the cable circles. Every attention and care
hr.e been given to this essential part of the
work, and every foot of the cable is minutely
inst.eeted ns it passes into the circles. When a
defective part is detected the process of coiling
is suspended until the imperfect portion of the
Wirt' is cut away, and the whole is respliced in a
manner that not only secures the perfect insula
tion of the conductor, but actually adds to the
strength of the cable. There is in fact no depart
of the work in which there is more skill and in
genuity displayed than in that of splicing ; and
it is particularly deserving of remark here, that
only in one instance, during the last expedition,
NVEL. 4 the cable known to part at a splicing. This,
however, requires an explanation, from which it
wilLbe seen that the case was an extraordinary
one, and such as under the new arrangment will
not be likely to occur again. The splice had
been made at the junction of the shore end of
the cable with the deep sea line, and was not as
perfect as could be desired, on account of the
difference in size between the two portions, so
that when subjected to a strain it parted while in
the act of passing over the wheels or sheaves of
the paying out machine. The second attempt to
join t lie. two parts was, however, most 3necessful,
and by the aid of a hawser to relieve the spliced
portion from any undue strain, it was lowered
safely into the water. The continuity was found
to 'nave been unimpaired by the fracture, and
the cable worked as well as if it never parted.—
'iith this exeeption it will be seen that the pro-
cess of splicing, so far from weakening the groat
Pea line, hoe actually a tendency to strengthen
it, and has no injurious effect upon the electri
cal condition of the conductor. Every attention
then being bestowed upon this important pro
coos, no apprehensions need be felt in regard to
the strength of the cable, which is as perfect' as
when it first came from the manufactory.
It is expected that both ships will leave the
Keyham basin on the 14th of next month, or
that they will be able to leave before that time.
'l' his is very necessary, as they will draw so much
water on account of the increased weight as to
render it necessary to get into the stream during
the spring tides, which prevail then, and with
out which they would be unable to leave the
dock where they now are, for at least another
month. The coiling can, however, be proceeded
with when the vessels get into the stream, as the
line may be taken onboard from the little steam
er Adonis, which is expected at Plymouth in less
than a week, with four hundred additional miles,
which have just been manufactured at the works
of Messrs. Glass & Elliott, in Greenwich. With
coal and all on board,the Niagara will draw
about twenty-six and a half feet of water, and
the Agamemnon at least a foot more than that.
No time will be lost, you may depend upon it, in
getting to sea the moment the cable has been
placed on the two ships.
In a former letter it was stated that the great
est speed attained by Dr. Whitehouse, the chief
electrician of the company, in the transmission
of messages through twenty-six hundred miles of
cable did not exceed sixty-nine words per hour, or
a little more than a word per minute. This was
the result of several months' experiments, but
within the last week a still greater rapidity has
been aoccomplished, and as this is a matter of
the greatest importance both to the working and
paying value of the line, it is deserving of spe
cial consideration. Professor Thompson, one of
the faculty of the highest University in Scotland,
which has produced some of the most learned and
able men in Great Britain, was invited to take
part in the experiments. For three days he gave
his undivided attention to the subject, made a
large numf er of experiments, and reported the
gratifying intelligence to Mr. Field, that he had
done sufficient to justify him in stating that he
could send six words through the whole length
of wire in one minute ; and that, by still further
experiments, he had no doubt whatever he
could improve still more on the rate of speed.—
But I have not yet told the whole story in regard
to the electrical department, and the success
which has been achieved in working through the
cable Mr: Henley, whn is also a prominent
ch.ettinian here, has been making experiments,
auJ with no less gratifying success, so that Pro
fessor Tnompson is fully corroborated and sus
tained by the best possible evidence—that of a
practical test by another. Mr. Henley, after a
week's attention to the subject, succeeded in
sensing through message after message at a
speed of six wor :s in a minute. lie does net
stop here, however; he goes still further, and
states that a current can be sent through the ca
ble generate I by an English shilling, which is
about the size of an American quarter—a rather
Lilliputian battery, it must be acknowledged.—
Let him speak for himself. In a brief statement
which he presented to Mr. Field, at that gentle
man's request, and to which he signed his name,

Dr. ParrDira's ruplis
The alleviation and improvement of the
mental condition of the weak in mind, is a
matter eminently worthy of encouragement.
Dr. Parrish, who has devoted his time and at
tention to the proper treatment and ttaining
of idiotic children, is now on a visit to this
city with some of hie pupils, for the purpose of ,
letting the public know, by a personal inter
view, what has been and can be done for these
unfortunates. The want of publicity, we think,
rather than a want of due appreciation of the
merit of Dr. Parrish's efforts, has prevented
hitherto a general attendance by the public
upon his most interesting lectures and exhi
bitions. At the mit - Lest of a number of our
most prominent citizens, the Doctor will this
(Friday) evening, give another public lecture
and exhibition of the children in his care, and
we hope to see Masonic Hall crowded as it
should be on this occasion.
The Concert.
The announcement that the celebrated can •
tattles, Madame Elena D'Angri, would sing
in thing city, next week, with Melberg and
Vieustemps, has created the greatest enthu
siasm among the lovers of music, and already
numerous applications for seats have been
made at Mr. Mellor's music store. For the
information of the public, we state that the
tickets will he for sale on Monday morning
next, as announced in the adverfiiement of
the manager. The prices are to be the same
as at Thalberg's last concert in this city, not
withstanding the great additional attraction
which the presence of such an artiste as D'An
gri will afford. Ilaving teen accustomed to
appear in the gorgeous style required at
European concerts, the personal display which
this charming woman makes of magnificent
dress and glittering diamonds, is as great a
novelty as the wonderful power of her rich
contralto voice.
A Charge of Monster Railroad Swindling.
The New York Herald publishes a long and
most extraordinary history of a system of fraud
and swindling, charge to have been carried on
by some of the chief managers of the Chicago,
Alton and St.. Louis Railroad Company, which,
if all that is sail a' - iont it is true, is the montter
rascality of the ago. Feand, I , .rgery and em
bezzlement ore all cha-gel, an I Li..t ;;MOtnit cf
money out of which the public has been L,windled
amounts to millions. The full particul•lrs of the
affair would occupy too much space in cur pa
per, but we give the Herald's statement in brie
as follows:
For several weeks past some of the loading
bankers and merchants of this city, aided by
eminent counsel, have been probing a terrible
charge of fraud in connection with the Chicsg,,,
Alton and St. Louis Railroad Comp:lnv, by which
the stockholders, bondholders and creditors gen
erally of that institution, nil well as several New
England Banks and New York marchants, were
sufferers to the ainJunt of millions of dollars.
A short time since affidavits were sworn bef.tre
Judge Russell by Mr. Samuel M. Blatchfuid,
Stewart Brown, Seabury Brewster and Charles
Gould, charging Henry Dwight, Henry Tictch
kiss and Hamilton Spencer, directeris and chief
managers of the railroad company. with
ling, embezzlement, and sundry oth.:r grave
offene- - s. Six warrants were issued againsf Mr.
Dwight on two separate charges of perjitry---one
for fraudulent issue of emir- 9, one for fri:lu
lu
lent issue of cancelled bonds, another for embez
zlement, and another fer conspiracy. A warrant
was issued at the same time for the tirrcst
of
Hotchkiss and Spencer, ou a charge of conspi
racy to defraud the creditors of the company.
Mr Dwight was arrested yesterday, an.: brought
into court before Judge Russell, and is now in
custody awaiting examination.
A sBistnnt Bishop of Penusylvanin.
In speaking of the proposed election of an as
sistant to Bishop Potter, a matter which we have
heretofore spoken of, the Pennsylvanian, makes
the following very just remarks:
"It is not our province to intefere in this mat
ter—it would be presumptuous in us to do so—
and we feel no particular interest in the ques
tion. But we do profess to entertain that degree
of general interest in the_ subject which urges
us to express the strong hope that some clergy
man, sufficiently pious and learned, may be
found within the limits of Pennsylvania who may
conscientiously assume the responsibilities and
satisfactorily discharge the duties of this office.
We have no disposition or intention to disparage
the claims or character of any, but we sincerely
trust it may not be f_ und necessary to import to
this Diocese any clergyman from New York, Now
England, or any State North or South, thus in
ferentially admitting the incapacity or unworthi
ness for the Episcopal dignity of all clergymen
residing at this time within this Diocese. We
have never heard of other Dioceses choosing,
Bishops from among Pennsylvania clergymen
although it has been too much the habit to 100 :
outside of this Commonwealth for the lesrnin ,
piety, talents and virtues which should illumin, to
this high, holy, and most responsible post."
Venerable Time-Keeper.
One of the "oldest cmcks in America," once tne
property of Gov. Hutchinson, is now owned by a
gentleman of this city. When the Governor's
house was sacked by a mob, in 1762, and his
furniture demolished, this clock by some means
escaped injury and fell into the hands of John
Holmes, a silversmith doing business at that time
in Ann street, from whom it was purchased a
short time afterwards by the grandfather of the
present owner. It runs eight days, strikes the

W. T. HENLEY.
One of the paying cut machines is finished,
and has been subjected to the criticism of a
whole army of civil and naval engineers, cap
tlina and other scientific and unscientific mon.
This examination has been had at the special re
quest of Mr. Everett, who was desirous of sub
mitting his work to an unreserved judgment from
men who have made the science of engineering
their special study, and who are therefore pre
sumed to kr ow something about the subject.—
.ivice his arrival in this country, about the mid
dle of last January, he has been engaged in the
work of devising such a machine as he consid
ered best adapted to the undertaking. The ex
perience which he acquired on the last expedi
tion, at which time he was chief engineer of the
Niagara, has been turned to the best account,
and has enabled him to construct a machine which
has met with general approval.
Roman Catholic Provincial (Council at
Cincinnati.
The Roman Catholic Provincial Council for
the Province of Cincinnati, consisting of the
Archbishop and his Suffragan Bishops, concluded
its labors yesterday with imposing ceremonies in
St. Peter's Cathedral.
Solemn High Mass was celebrated in the morn
ing, the Archbishop presiding. There was a
dense multitude of people in attendance, the
sl acious Cathedral being crowded to its utmost
c.,pacity. A procession, composed of the Arch
bishop, seven Bishops in their gorgeous vest
ments, some thirty-five or forty Priests, in tin it
robes, the students of the Roman Catholic Theo
logical Seminary, was escorted from the Arch
bishop's residence to the Cathedral by a guard
of honor, consisting of the members of St. Pa
ter's and St. Joseph's benevolent Societies. An
eloquent sermon was preached by one of the
Bishops, and the ceremonies were of the great
est and most impressive descrip' ion observed
by the Roman Catholics upon such august occa
sions. At vespers, at four o'clock P. M. one of
the Bishops presided, and another delivered a
discourse.
The Provincial Council will not meet again
until 1861.— Cincinnati Gazette, 10th.

English prices current often speak of the
price of wheat per quarter—to reduce this to bar
re!e, multiply the price by seven, and divide by
twelve, and it will give the price, at the same
rate, by the barrel. Thus : If wheat is quoted
at 56 shillings a quarter, multiply 56 by 7, and
i divide by 12, and it gives the price, 32 shillings
18 pence a barrel.
ORSE CHEWING TOBACCO.—The anti-tobacco
men have paraded in triumph the assertion that
man is the only animal which chews the weed.
The following from the Danville, (Va.) News,
will be welcomed as a complete refutation :
One of the physicians of our town owns a
ridincr horse which loves tobacco up to any good
old Eastern North Carolinian that ever rolled a
qu , d under his tongue. The horse will take a
,Ilytrter of a plug at the time and chew it with
avidity and apparent delight. But the strangest
feature of the matter is, he swallows the nar
cotic without becoming sick at the stomach or
head.

SENATE
Notwithstanding the Senate was in session for soy
oral hours, nothing particular was accomplished.
The Appropriation bill was road by sections, and a
number of formal amendments wore adopted, and
the bill passed.
Mr. Doolittle, of Wisconsin, thereupon moved to
reconsider, which was carried; yeas 28, nays IG.
The bill being again under discussion, an animated
debate was continued for over three hours on the
proposed insertion of a clause to pay John C. Rives
three thousand two hundred dollars for compensation
to the Senate reporters. The debate was of a die
missive character ; Messrs. Hamlin, Brown, Johnson,
of Arkansas, Wilson, 8011, Doolittle and Trumbull
defended Mr. Rives from the remarks of Mr. Mason,
who character ed his circular sent to Senators im.
posing restrictions on their revisal of specohos deliv
ered, as infamous, impudent and intrusive. Mr.
Toombs, of Georgia, spoke with groat animation
agaimq the Senate having to pay Rives' reporters.
In the course of his remarks he implied that Mr.
Doolittle was acting as the organ of the reporters.
Mr. Doolittle retorted by an allusion to Galphin
ism.
Mr. Toombs forthwith wont over the history of the
Galphia case, saying that he supported it in the
House, and supported it now; as high.minded as any
in the Union supported it, sad the denouncers of it
were miserable slanderers and cowards.
Mr. Hammond, of South Carolina, said he had
boon acquaintoi with the circumstances of the Gal
phin case, ar.d they were as Mr. Toombs had stated.
The matter then subsided, and after a protracted
discussion, without action on the proposition the Sen
ate adjourned.
I(UEE OF ItEPRESENTATIVES
The .luestbm on Mr. Phillip's motion, tee amended
by Mr. Mill,on's substitute, to refer the Minnesota
representltives to tbe Committee on Elections, was
decided in the affirmative; yeas 105, nays 93.
Mr. Kunkel, of Maryland, from the Committee on
Accounts, mode a report charging It. B. Hackney,
doorkeeper of the House, with having abused his
authority in the appointment of subordinates, leav
ing some of them to depend on the grace and bounty
of the House for their salary. For this he cannot be
too severely censured. Though frequently admon
ished, he persists in setting the orders of the Com
mittee at defiance. Abuses in tho folding room are
pointed out, showing fade entries in the books as to
the number of documents folded, and the expenses
are increased from $6OO to $2,500 per month. The
Committee say that there are other charges of mal
practice, and of a venal character, but they do not
propose to report the declarations of Hackney's sub•
ordinates, over whom ho domineers. Ho is unwor
thy of trust, and is either incompetent for the per-
formance of the duty, or shows a wilful and delib
ora'e purpose to pervert and abuse the power with
which he is in-tested. They report a resolution that
he be dismissed forthwith from office.
The subject was postponed till Monday, and on
motion of Mr. Nichols the accused was privileged to
file a defence in the meantime.
Mr. Harris, of Illinois, from the Committee on
Elections, made a report on the Ohio contested elec
tion case, stating that four of the members aro in
favor of Mr. Campbell retaining his seat; four for
giving it to the contestant, Vallandingham, and one
recommending that the seat be declared vacant. The
three reports were ordered to be printed.
Mr. Harris gave notice that he would call up the
subject at an early.
Mr. Clark, of Missouri, made an adverse report to
the people of Utah asking admission into the Union
as a State.
The remainder of the session was devoted to the
consideration of Territorial bills, none of which were
passed.
The House then adjourned.
From Washington.
WASHINGTON CITY, May 12.—While the House was
in Committee of the Whole to-day on Territarial
business, Mr. Lone made an ineffectual effort to at
tach an amendment to one of the bills to settle the
claims of citizens of Oregon and Washington grow
ing out of the recent Indian war, amountinn• ' to be
tween five and six millions of dollars. J. Glancy
Jones said the General Appropriation bills would
have to be passed in order b enable Congress to
adjourn on the 7th of June, but he was willing to
extend the time, to act on other business. Mr. Cobb
remarked that ho intended to introduce a resolution
for that purpose, in order that all the business before
the House might be finished. In this many gentle.
men acquiesced.
The verdict of the Court Martial for the trial of
charges against Major General Twiggy, finding him
guilty of insubordinate conduct to the prejudice of
good order and military discipline, is approved, but
in consideration of his distinguished services and of
the unanimous recommendation of the Court, the
sentence that he be reprimanded by the President is
remitted. Gen. Twiggy has arrived at Washington.
Tho following candidates for admission into the

Surgeons, at Philadelphia, are approved and will be

The Southern Convention.
MONTGOMERY, ALA., May 13.—The Southern Con
vention continued in session last night till eleven
o'clock. Messrs. Hilliard, Harper, Hubbard of
Ala
bama, and Hunter of Georgia, spoke against the
restoration of the slave trade. To-day Mr. Preston
argued against the resolution and Mr. Yancy in its
favor. Mr. Spratt concluded to-night the argument
in favor of the resolution offered by him. A strong

ROMANTIC S TOBY —A curious circumstance
has come to light lately, which has caused the
laugh to turn against the Academic. A savant
member of that respectable body has had in his
employment, for a long time past, a young Sec
retary, whose services ho considered so valuable
in the translations of the Oriental languages and
the collating of Oriental works, that, only six
months ago, he doubled his salary, on the
threat of the secretary to jeave for another sa
van. Last Monday the secretary came, all peni
tent and ashamed, to the savan to declare that
his approaching marriage would prevent a con
tinuance of his engagement. The eavan was in
censed.
"And who is the accomplice of your brainless
folly 1" exclaimed the seven, in a rage—being
himself a confirmed old bachelor, and most averse
to marriage.
"Monsieur B—," returned the secretary,
with a titter, "to wham I am to be married on

The seven looked up in alarm, and beheld the
blushing countenance and trembling eyes of his
secretary. The truth flashed upon his mind at
once—the secretary was a woman 1 And so it
proves to be. One who, with the knowledge of
Greek and Latin, with seven eastern languages,
could find no employment as a "learned female,"
and who.had been comPelled to assume the dress
of the other sex, in order to obtain a livelihood.
What makes the joke tell with even more ssver
ity against the seven, is the fact that Monsieur
B--, the expectant bridegroom, is the very
rival whose laurels have prevented his slumbers
for fifteen years.—Court Journal.

and he moved that they be sworn in.
The certificates of their election were received,
signed by Samuel Medary, Governor of Minnesota,
and dated in December last.
Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, objected to the administra
tier, of the oaths of office. He said it was known
that the Constitution of Minnesota provided for the
election of three members by a general ticket, and
ho desired to ba informed where the credentials of
the third member were.
A long discussion ensued, after which Mr. Millson,
of Virginia, offered a resolution thut the certificates
and credentials of those claiming to bo elected
members from Minnesota be referred to the Commit
tee on Election!, with instructions to inquire into
and report as to their right to be sworn in as mem
bers of the House.
This resolution was adopted as a substitute for Mr.
Phillips' motion that the members be sworn in—yeas

a vote of 33 yeas to 30 nays. Tho bill, which is
