THE Union Executive Committee
have issued their call this morning
for State Convention at Parkers-
burg on the Both of August next.
We intimnted some time ago like
lihood that the convention would
be held in this city. Perhaps it would
have been but for the fact that the Com-
mittee were all residents here, and de-
sired not to seem to take advantage of
this fact. All things considered Par
kersburg was looked upon as the
best place to hold the convention this
season.
. It will be seen that the Committee
have recommended that the delegates
to the convention be sent prepared to
nominate not only candidates for the
various State Offices, but also for Con-
gress and for the vncant places in the
State Senate. This, it seems to us, is
an Opportune recommendation. Hith-
ertO the people have been done out,
and almost disgusted ut times, by
the multiplicity of conventions.
It is desirable to have as few conven-
tons rs possible. To this end it is sug-
gested that more than ordinary care be
taken at the township primary meet
ings on the 9th of August to select good
men for the county conventions which
meet on the 10Th following. If the best
men of the townships are sent as dele
gates to the county conventions, the best
men OF the counties will be sent to the
State Convention. We think tins i'm
r Al.

THE TEXAS ELECr1oN.-There is
much less reason TO feel either astonish-
ment or chagrin at tho result of the
recent election in Texas than was
intimated by the earlier dispatches
concerning it. Both parties claimed to
be for the Union, the one party radical
Union and the other conservative I'M
ion. The radicals declared themselves
distinctly in favor of negro suffrage,
and upon that issue carried about one.
third of the votes in the State. Mr..
Pease, the radical candidate for Gov
ernor, was from Connecticut formerly,
and he may be consoled in his defeat
by the reflection that he would have
Jared no better in his native State, or
indeed In most of the Northern States,
on the same issue. It certainly is not
strange that the former slavehOlders of
Texas are not yet willing to give the
suffrage to tue negro, but Ii Is SUCCESS

Victoria NOT Rigi,iruI Queen OF Eng
land

VicfORIn NOT RigiItTuI Queen of Eng
land,
The case of Mrs. Ryves, which has
been on trial in London and which in,
directly involves the legitimacy oftht
present royal family of Great Britain
is attracting much attention and is moi
likely to be silenced by the adverse
verdict which Mrs. Ryves has just re-
ceived in the divorce court. She claims
that her mother was the daughter of the
Duke of Cumberland, by his lawful
wife, a lady who was of royal Polish
blood, and that the marriage, though
secret, was attested by eminent witness
SEES, including George ILL.,, the Earl of
Chatham, Lord Warwick and others.
This claim she supported by a large
number of documents, including sew
eral unequivocal letters of the Duke of
Kent; and any candid reader ofthe evil
dence will be convinced that her claim
is fairly substnntiated. The fact that
the authenticity of the documents is
not questioned is almost an acknowl-
edgement of as much. But the hearing
of the case was most unfair; the judge
repeatedly insulted AIRS. Ryves, and as
sumed in all his rulingsthat she was an
impostor; so that the verdict could not
have been expected to be different from
the adverse one which was rendered.
The momentous consequences which
would entail upon decision in Mrs.
Ryves' favor warped every inclination
toward fairness which the court hear
ing the case might have felt. She sued
for her right 10 be recognized as men,
Der of the roysl family, with the title of
Princess Olive. She also offered to
prove incontestably that the marriage
of Queen Victoria's grandfather 10 her
grandmother was void, because he had
a wife then living. These two points
proved, illegitimacy of the present roy
al family is proved, Queen Victoria is
dethrOned and the Princess Olive, by
all the rules of succession, becomes
queen of Great Britain and Ireland.
OF course it cannot be expected that
Justice will be done and that this
change will ever take place; but It is a
good thing that Mrs. Ryves determine
eddy persists in her claims and will, If
possible. carry up her case even to the
house of lords.

Financial Condition OF the European
BeIIIgerenIR.


Napoleon used to think that success
in a battle attended the side that had
the heaviest artillery; but in war like
that which now threatens Europe the
final victory will depend in no small
degree on the respective ability of the
belligerent parties to pay their bills.
And as regards finances all the three
principal contestants are badly enough
of, though Austria is the most desper-
ate. Her debt is estimated at the enor-
nous sum of 81, 200, 200, 600, which has
been steadily built up during the last
eighteen years, loan following SWIFTLY
upon loan, while all the time taxes have
been increased so that the annual reye-
nue. is now $500, OOO, 600. The interest
on the debt absorbs SO much of this
revenue that it will be impossible to
maintain Austria's present armament
long with the balance, and as her
credit is about gone she must soon be-
come bankrupt if the war goes ON.
Before Count Bismark's admins
tration in Prussia the funded debt
was only about $3.50, OOO, 600, and the
annual expenditures $l2O,OOO, 600. But
Btsmark has already expended the sa-
wings of former ministers; an army of
800, 600 men will swell the expenses inn
mensely. and already before the war
has actually begun Prussia paper
money is at a discount, and the Prus-
sian national bank has raised its dis
count rate TO 914 per cent. The Italian
debt is $1,000, OO0,O 900, and the rentes,
which in 1861 werequoted. at 81, at pres
ent are quoted at only 81. The Italian
government has for years been increas-
ing its army without engaging in war,
and has been contributing largely to
railroads and other internal improve
ments. Its paper money Is already
quoted at 20 per cent. discount. Alto
gether It would seem TO be a necessity
of all the belligerents to make the war
a short and sharp one. In that case
valor and patriotism might decide the
case. Otherwise the party with the
longest purse or the best credit at the
Rothschilds, is likely to win.
