AUSTRIAN GENERALS-

General Gyula, now the actual Governor of
the Austro-ltalian provinces, and Commander
in Chief Of the troops in all Lombardo-Nen-
eta, was in lS4S simple general of brigade
He fought under the orders Of Radetsky
specially at Custozza, on the 25th Of July,
and got badly beaten. Custozza is the name
Of one of the villages included in the line
which was then occupied by the Sandman
army. $4,000 Austrians, commanded by
Radetsky, assaulted four Piedmontese brigades.
the collective strength of which was 10000
men. One of these brigades was commanded
by the Duke of Genoa. The fight lasted
from eight o'clock in the morning till four in
the afternoon. The Piodmontese performed
prodigies Of bravery; defended step by stop
all their positions, and retired facing the
enemy. whom they never allowed for a single
instant to break their ranks.
General Baron de Hess has incurred dis
grace by haying blamed the offensive move
ments across the Ticino. He took part in
the campaign Of lS4S, in quality of chef
d etat major of Marshal Radetsky Vast
military talents were ascribed to him at that
time.
OF General Benedick, the historian Of the
Paris Steele says He enjoys a European
reputation almost equal to that of his cele-
brated colleague, General Iaynau, the woman
hogger.
General Hebels rank in 1878 was colonel
After the retreat of Radetsky across the
Adigo he was entrusted to keep open the
communications of the General-in-C Chief be-
tween Verona and Trent by Rivoli and the
Garona He took part with a battalion of
the regiment Of the Emperors chasseurs. in
the action Of Pastrengo, where the Austrians
were beaten. He is the same, If we are not
deceived, who caused to be shot in the fosses
Of Trent the patriot Italians. He found that
an easier task, apparently, than beating them
in the field of battle.

PENNSYLVANIA PoLITIcs-The PEOPLES
State Convention nominated, on the eighth
ballot, Thomas X. Cochran, for Auditor
Gen. Keim was nominated for Surveyor GEN
eral on the first ballot
Resolutions were adopted unanimously
that the Peoples Convention disapprove of
executive Intervention to PROSTATE the will of
the people as dangerous element thu: it
protests against the sectional pro~slavery poll
icy Of the administration denouncing the at
tempts TO enact a congressional slave code for
the territories; affirming hostility to the
extension of slavery; condemning the at
lempts to revive the slave trade, and censur-
ing the administration for conniving at its
practical reopening favoring protective tar
if, and considering the professions of the
President in favor of protection as unreliable
condemning the reckless and profigate cx-
travagance of the national administration
deploring the defeat of the Homestead bill
advising legislation to prevent frauds upon
the naturalization laws, so as to preserve the
purity of the ballot box approving of the
enactments to prevent the introduction of for
oign criminals inviting all parties to join in
the restoration Of the government to its orig

I1'The St. Joseph lind Register, edited
by the Hon. Schuyler Colfax, a Republican
member of Congress, holds the following Ian
guage respecting the Republican nominee for
the Presidency
1--WE differ somewhat from those ardent CO.
temporaries who demand the nomination of
their iavorite Representative man, whether
: popular or unpopular and who insist that
this must be done, even if we are defeated
/ We do agree with them in declaring that we
/ shall 20 for no man who does not prefer free
| labor and its extension TO slave labor and its
| extension; who, though mindful of the inn
partiality which should characterize the Ex-
! ecutive of the whole Union, will not fail to
rebuke all new plots for making the govern
ment the propaganda of slavery, and COM
pei promptly and efficiently the suppression
of that horrible slave trade which the whole
civilized world has banned as Infamous, pirat-
cal and accursed. But in a Republican Ma
tional Convention, if any man could be found,
North. South, East or West, whose integrity,
whose life, and whose ayowas rendered him
unquestionably safe upon these questions. and
who could yet poll one, two or three hundred
thousand votes more than any one else. we
believe il would be both wisdom and duty,
patriotism and policy to nominate him by ac-
clamation, and thus render the contest an as
sured success from its very opening"
EV' An opposition State Convention has
been called in New Jersey, to meet on the 9TH
of September. The call was signed by every
opposition member of the Legislature, except
two straight Americans.

THE CURsE OF Our Decentralization
Buchanan is not given to the utterauco o
much truth, but the following paragraph, part
of speech recently delivered to the students
of the College in Raleigh, n c., is gospel
"The great curse Of our country - that
curse which has involved so many Of the
most promising young men Of the land in
ruin, which has made mothers miserable, and
which has made fathers feel disgraced by the
spectacle of their own ofspring--is the crime
of drunkenness, more deadly by far than the
postilence, than the yellow fever, than the
plague, and than all other calamitios that has
visited man. We bring upon ourselves 4
greater calamity than Heaven has brought
upon us, in any form or shape of misery
Everywhere you see the wrecks of this dread.
full vice scattered over the land. in the destruc-
ton of the finest prospects that ever were
presented by the youth of any country

groaning in every house.

WHAT ARE CoNsoLs The shortest def
milton of the word ''Consols" is to describe
them as the consolidated debt of England
This debt did not exist in the good old times
when Government, instead of borrowing, eX-
torted money from the Jews, and occasionally
from people of its own faith. Charles |. be-
gan the national debt of England. but it was
quietly wiped out when he was beheaded.-
Charles H. and James l. had the honor of
laying the foundations of permanent debt,
and on the accession of William III. the
debt was fG44,263 At his death it was
f15,750, ,499. With some brief periods of
decrease, the amount was gradually swollen
until. at the close of the wars in 1916, it was
fS40, $50, ,49l.
Previous to this time the oxchequers Of
Great Britain and Ireland were kept separate,
certain portions of the public revenue arising
in each kingdom being especially appropriated
to the discharge Of the interest on its own
debts, and other peculiar purposes. But on
the 9TH of January, 1926, the different ex-
chequers were consolidated into one and an
act was at the same time passed consolidating
certain portions of the joint revenue of Great
Britain and Ireland into one fund, hence call
led the consolidated fund, and providing for
its indiscrimnate application 10 the payment
of the public debts, civil lists, and other
specified expenses of both kingdoms. Some
portions of the revenue are not included in
this fund, but in 1885 of total income Of
f47, 900 0O0 the consols absorbed f14,000,-
900 Besides the consols, the debt Of Eng
land consists of a comparatively small amount
OF three per cents" Its total in 1854 had
been decreased to f769, GA ,249, but the Cri-
mean war has again swollen it to not less than
fS50.000 900.
] From this statement the anxiety with which
the quotations of consols are watched is
clearly understood. The debt they represent
| is so enormous that any increase Of its amount
/ decreases the value of that already existing
/ Moreover, in times of financial distress. hol.
| ders for Investment sell out their consols in
order to realize, and the increased amount
thrown on the market again depreciates the
/ quotations Hence it is that the consols arc
the monetary barometer of England.-EE'
