There ia chance for tolling work in the coming session , and it is essential that the majority should improve it , TUB cabin enterprise to which Air. Jamoa Gordon Bennett han made his generous subscription is backed by Mr. Garrett , of the Baltimore & Ohio rail road , mid a few ether well known cap tri t i italists. The now cable will bo built i t/ for cwh nnd will cost , when com r pleted about $2,200,000. It will un- ; doubtcdly provo n formidable rival to the lines now In operation , and which have boon built on the watered ntock plan pursued in the building of rail roads in this country. The result will bo that the cost of cable dispatches will bo reduced all around , that is if the hizh priced cables intend to keep up with their now more cheaply con structed competitor. This the prcaont monopoly must do orgivoupbusinoea. The now cable will bo used in connec tion with the Baltimore & Ohio rail road telegraphic nyatcm , and when completed will oaro money to the wtatorn press. IT is understood that the United States grand jury now in cession will investigate the frauds committed dur ing the late election in this ttato. The national election laws gtvo thorn that authority and impose acvoro penalties upon thbso who in any way deprive 'oliJctoraof nu honest volco in thogov- orY.inent.

The compoaitiou of the present grand jary is auoh that wo do not bo- llavn it can bo .frightened from doing its fall duty in the prominps. Let it eearoh the maltcrVithout fear or fa vor. There scorns to bo some pros- euro to induce the jury to look into the question of alleged crpitcodaesi in thy nutter of United SUioa Burvojiug oontraoti. if there la any good reason to bclievo that frauds have been committed in tlua department of the publio eorv ice by which the ( government has boon Dwindled , the matter ought to bo probed to the bottom. There oughl to bo no suspicion , however , that the investigation has boon-orlginatod or is to bo conducted for malicious or par tisan purposes. Bat if the jury believes - lioves that a crime has boon com mit ted against the national treasury , it much eearob the business , no matter - tor whom the investigation hits or whom it may compromise. Oar grand juries have boon too much like automatons in the past , It looks now as if wo have scoured ono that moann SHIP , The , rnpublicau party at the late olro'hua were only trimming ship. The result ahowa that when the body politio vrant to shift from side to side as tlui condition of the country BOOBW to doiuand , the operation ia an easy ono. For several yonrtt parties have bcoti oo evenly divided that u very email chailgo going through a number of utatLo would work great results , In Ohio the round number of the votes east ia 60,000. Thu majority given for either party has uoldom exceeded five per cent of the whole number cast and has been aa low as ono per cent. In < diatm has boon oven moro closely divided.

Mr. Gladstone han eo far suc ceeded in steering clear of any dis cussion of the Egyptian policy nf the government , and Lord Dufferin has been permitted to continue his negoti ations , which , it is generally believed , will take away from the unspeakable Turks all but the scmblanco of author ity in the land of the Pharohs. On Monday Mr. Gladstone mot the talk about the "Irooty of Kilinainham" with a flat denial and a challenge to the tories to Investigate the nubjoct if they eo desired. The latter promptly accepted the challenge and an inquiry which will bring out all the facts is probable. As Parnell denies that there waa ever an understanding look ing to a settlement of the difficulty between the loaders of the Land Leaguu andtho , English ministry , the work of Lord Randolph Churchill and his committee is likely to make no now developments on the subject. The French socialistic agitation utlll continues. In Paris it is largely duo to the "no rent" crusade , which has boon preached among the poorer class. Bents in Paris are very high. They are collected quarterly , and in the poorer parts of the city landlords are very exacting , the non-payment of rent being as a rule quickly followed by distress and eviction. The feeling against landlords are very atrong at all times , and it is further stimulated just now by the agitation atMontcean- lea-Mines. The placards which ap peared ono day were printed on rod paper and were headed : "By the ex ecutive committee of the defenders of the people. " The details 'for of- factually setting a hquso on fire were given with diabolical minuteness. The houses in the meaner quarters are not built of brick , stone and Iron , aa maybe bo supposed , but are mostly of lath and plaster on a slim foundation of brick , though many of them are six or seven stories high. They are usu ally provided with only narrow wind ing stair cases , which is invariably of wood. It is plain that a quart of koroftcno or a handful of sulphur or gunpowder , with a match , would sot the vrholo frablo Instantly in a blazo. The placard bore internal ovldonco of being the work of comparatively well- educated men. The police , of course , toro them down as coon as they dis covered thorn. Several hundreds were found in different parts of this city. The sultan of Turkey has taken the bull by the horns. For a number of years the' Mohammedan world , has boon agitating itself on account of a prediction , In some sacred writing or other , , that a now prophet would ap pear in the 1300th year of the estab lishment of Islam , under whoso pow erful influence the Mohammedan faith would bo revived to now spiritual energy and temporal triumph. By some legerdemain of chronology , this 1300th year has boon made to fall upon 1882 , though this is neither the anniversary of Mohammed's birth , about 570 ; his firot revelation , about CIO ; the hegira , in G22 , nor any laior historical event in the calendar of Is lam , A prophecy brings ita own ful fillment , and , sinoo the first of the year , Messiahs have sprung up like mushrooms in all parts of the Moham medan world. The falsa prophet t of the Soudan , who has boon ravag ing In the neighborhood of Upper Egypt and lately threatened Khar toum with his man-eating hordes , parsoualcd the now Messiah and gained a largo following. Another laloo prophet in Porsu has caused the rulers of that country much trouble and the Ottoman sultan much anxiety lest the contagion of his influence should ( spread to Turkish dominions. This follow has apparently been sup pressed. It is not exactly clear whether any pretender to the dignity of Mcsiiah has actually appeared in Arabia , but there has been ( treat men tal and religious ferment , especially in the neighborhood of the holy ohioa. And now the commander of the Faith ful through hia faithful religious futiO' tlouurJeB has Bottled the question ol the identity of the now Mohammed an Messiah by announcing himself at the long expected prophot. It rctnalnt to bo seen whether the Moslem world will accept his protonnlons , If Norway ultimately succeed ! ! it scouring her indtpandenca from Sweden don It will bo largely duotoUjornson the poetical Scandinavian , who hai undertaken to sot up n republic , idLe who hw almost brought King Oicar l Lo < his knees. Prior to the elections in Norway the revolutionists publishoi it { .broad that the king's long con thmod controversy with the parlia muut regarding hia veto power meam nothing less than this , that ho pro poses ultimately to march the SwodUl tray into Norway and abolish lie 10a Norwegian constitution. To contra diet this campaign thunder the kin ] a- aIB took pains to make the journey to - Christiana , where he succeeded in itid getting many expressions of continue Bd ) idd. loyalty. But those who are set in . d.ut indopoudouco are likely to secure i 8. sooner or later , tlnce the king can pu only a qualified negative un Norwcgiai legislation , and cannot peaceably en ter Norway with Swedish troops. The elections emphatically reasserted the Norwegian doctrine laid down by Bjornfton , and concessions on the part of King Otcir ate confidently ex- peclod. _ In time of peace the Italian nation in preparing for war to a considerable extent. Thus , an English ship build ing firm has just boon given a contract for ton torpedo vessels , to bo con structed after the most perfect model knoTii. When they are done ton moro just like them will bo made in Italy , and four others having' some experimental features uro also to bo constructed the whole twenty-four within a few months. Thcao vessels nre to have a speed of twenty-one miles an hour , which is ahead of any thing of the kind now afloat. In or der to secure rapid notk in its arsenals the governmoat has recently adopted the contract system , and thereby has not only gained time but saved monoy. By the end of next year thrco or four first-clans iron-clada , now on the works , will have been finished. On ono of them 1,200 men nro at work. Two moro ships and novoral torpedo boats are now in progress In private yards. Altogether tbceo various arm- amenta will coat $13,000,000 to $15- 000,000. The French government ia getting compliment all around for the firm ness which it displayed on the occasion of the socialistic demonstrations at Monteau-los-Mincs. The local author ities , irresolute , or rather frightened half out oi their wits , permitted the rioters to smash crosses and to sack churches to their hearts' content. The central government , at last forced to Interfere , arrested twenty-three persons , and then punished them. This self-assertion was altogether ex traordinary and unexpected. Later , inasmuch as there were signs of now outbreaks , several battalions of infan try and some squadrons of , cavalry were quartered in the neighborhood. The mcdorato republican journals generally express approval of the course of the government , but the Ir reconcilable radicals , of course , make wry faces. The quarrel between Stanley and de Brazza does not appear to have had any untoward influence on the French colonization fovor. The French ex plorer professes to have concluded with an African prlnco a treaty , which ncods only the ratification of the French government , to annex to the domain of Franco a largo block of Af rican territory. Stanley claims that do Brazz * has received no grant of land , but only authority to build a railway. Bo that as it- may , it is reported ported that French engineers are about to begin the construction of a railway between the Senegal nnd the Niger , nnder the protection of a small army of cavalry and the moral support of a conplo of forts to bo erected. Thin is a now direction for French ag gression in Africa , and rather moro laudable than an invasion of Tunis. Thorr is renewed discussion in Aus tralia concerning the project of a federal oral Union batwoon the diflorout cole nlos. There are now five colonies , and from present appearances this numbor.is likely to increase. ' The governments of the different colonies are quite dissimilar , and do not as nearly resemble each ether as do the governments of the dilferent states in this union. It is hold that the establishment of a federal union would result in awakening a common interest among people who are now widely separated , would put down the spirit of rivalry that now exists , and build up a sort of national sentiment It is believed by all that the establishment mont of n union would result in lee soiling the expenses of protection give the people much bettor pnatn facilities , increase tbo commerce o the country , and cnuse tin building of moro railroads and the consolidation of the lines that now exist , The present railways are constructed on different gauges , and it is considered very desirable to have all the tracks conform to a com mon standard. laws applicable to the entire territory of the island In regard to stopping the spread of nox ious weeds , which multiply very fast , and in relation to live stock interests , are also greatly needed , The princi pal thing that stands in the way of the proposed confederation is the tar iff question , The schema of the fed eration was first started In the colony of Victoria , and at last accounts a motion was being debated in its legis lature to invlto a conference of all the colonlcb to meet at Melbourne to con- older the propriety of taking the necessary stops to establish a federal union. There Is llttlo doubt that the - motion will pass and that the confer - ence will moot. The liquor laws in Norway are - somewhat restrictive , and sometimes give trouble to travelers who are not prepared for them. The license to soil wine and beer is distinct from the license to soil spirits. All the hotels have the former , but very few of them have the latter , even in the largest towns , The consequence is that the traveler has no difficulty in procuring it beer or wlno at any time , but if he should ask for cognac , ho must wait till it is procured for him from a house or shop which haa the spirit license. No spirit is sold anywhere , not oven in the licenced houses , between 5 o'clock on Saturday night and 8 o'clock on Monday morning. This system loads to a great deal of dodg ing and trickery. Knowing the diffi culty of procuring spirits at hotels , the traveler supplies himself at the larger towns , and carries brandy or whisky with him in his valiso. Should ho , unfortunately , run short , lie will have little difficulty in getting n hot- tlo of cognac or of Irish whisky from the landlord , nnd will find it entered in hia bill as "old shotry. " The Lon don Times thus comments upon this system : "This is how ovor-strist laws defeat their object. They do not prevent drinking , and in the case of Norway they have not put down drunkenness , whllo they tempt honest men to risk their credit in devices which can hardly fail to have n de moralizing effect. " The foreign mails contain the de tails of the recent treaty made between - twoon Franco and the late Bey of Tunis. Under his provisions France undertakes to effect the redemption of the Tunisian debt , which amounts to $20,000,000. She also stipulates for the right of abolishing the finan cial commission , of establishing a ribunalof justice , of reorganizing the idministration of publio property , and if collecting the taxes. The treaty , lesidos , provides a civil list of $ UO- 100 a year for the Bey ( which ho haslet lot lived to enjoy ) and future allow- iuces for the princess to the amount i $200,000. The treaty , as the Lon- Ion Standard observes , "constitutes lot a simple protectorate , but a kind if diplomatic annexation , which for franco has the advantage of not ( addling her with the burden involved annexation. " Mn. CLEVELAND may consider him- ; elf the coming man in the presiden- al contest , but there is plenty of ividenco that older democrats have no otion of abandoning the field. A majority of 200,000 Is a big thing , but t cannot extinguish the fires"of arnbl ion which have long burned in Bour- > on breasts. Col Hondnmon on the Election- pccUl to tbo OJobe-Dcmocrat. DunuQUE , Ia. , November 14. Ool. , B. Henderson , the newly elected member for this district and secretary if the national republican congresaion- ,1 , campaign committee , arrived homo his morning , looking robust and icarty after his arduous and unre mitting labor of the past six months. Ho was interviewed by our correspondent as to the cause > f the late republican defeat , and in ogard to the latter , ho said it was argoly due to the party allowing side issues , like the liquor question , to creep into importance , and quarrels .mong.tho . loaders. The stay-at-home ote was remarkably large'in Ohio , 0,000 republicans refraining from otiug. A similar number had ab- entod themselves from the polls in Pennsylvania , and he estimated the otal non-voting republicans in the : ountry at 1,500,000. In regard to political assessments , o says that the report that any woman or boy or needy government impUyo was assessed is untrue. By , n inadvertence on the part of an ililoor of the house , circulars found heir way into the hands of pages , but as soon as this became known the clr- ulara were immediately withdrawn. Circulars were sent to postmasters , but when the committee was informed hat a postmistress had received ono she was instantly notified that no ' money was HXrKOTKD FKOM HEB. The report that women teachers in the Carlisle Indian school had been as sessed was baseless. The committee never had the name of oven one pi these ladies on the list. Not ono in thrco of the clerks in the dopartmenl had paid , and the total amount ol money received from all the govern- mant employes in the United States had not aggregated $10,000. The em ployed of the government had fre quently called upon him to say they could not afford to pay , and In al such cases ho invariably and explicitly stated that if any man , by contrib utiug to the fund would thereby stinl his family , lie was not only no doing his duty to the latter bui was a scoundrel into the bargains. In a multitude of cases ho had replied to parties who felt themselves unable to pay , that no money was expected or would bo received from them. Uo had received many letters stating that if ho could sccuro the writer a place in government employ in Washin toi : they would contribute to the func $250 , His answer was that neither ho nor the committee were doing a brokerage orago business. No man had ever been reported for refuting or neglect ing to pay , and the colonel most em phatically stated that although ho was in a position to know , ho could no possibly tell who had or who HAD NOT ; PAID , There were generous men , who , i called on for contributions , would give i or D per cent of their salary and the committee did not want tn take to < much from this claw. It had fixed upon 2 per cunt as u gaugo. Tbo re quest for this amount vrns not in th form of R , command. Voluntary con tributioaa only were expected. No cases of hardship growing out of as sessments had been reported , am clerks who had paid , and who received ceived from $1,600 to | fi,000 per yea for six hours' work per day , could af ford to do so , The colonel did not consider th work of the committee to be an worse than the work of the democrat in Ohio and Dalowaro. In the forme state they had raised $320,000 b assessing sxloon-keepora and 935 , 00 < by assessing breweries and distilleries nnd in vtho latter Rtato every demo nratlo cnlsial , from roadmaster to th highest atato oftioera , was assessed , your old things look lik new by using the Diamond Dyes , au < you will be happy.
