DEI.MAR IN WALL STREET. There has been
great deal of talk in Wall street about
Mr.. Delmar's letter on the state OF the
finances, but the spectators have failed to
act upon it in any of the markets, and the
price Of gold declined in the face of all it's dis
couraging, not to say alarming, figures. 1t
met, indeed, a very similar reception to that
which was accorded to Mr.. Atkinson's statisti-
cal speech on the same subject, and while this
has been dubbed the radical exhibit the other
has been stigmatized as the copperhead review.
But there Is far more truth than poetry in
what Mr.. Delmar says, and although his esti-
mates are exaggerated, he Is in the main far
more correct than Atkinson. Allowance must
be made for error and misrepresentation in
both cases; but II is obvious that the Treasury
Is drifting in the direction indicated by the
former and that there will be large deficiency
to provide for at the end of the fiscal year.
Mr.. Delmars letter came upon the gold market,
however in the midst of bear movement,
and it was to the interest of the bears to dis
credit and pooh-pooh 1t, and some allowance
must be made for this fact. There are none
80 blind as those who will not see.

The DEATH OF COUNT WALEwsKI. The

who in France connected the living present
with the coup dstdt and the re-establshment
of the empire is no more. How few of the
first counsellors Of the Second Empire remain
st. Arnaud, Persigny, Pelissier, Mocquard,
walewski-they are all gone. Napoleon has
already outlived his generation. He must feel
somewhat alone. The terrible secrets Of the
Second Of December, unless committed to some
safe but obscure place, are very much in his
own hand and heart. Fleury, it is true, still
remains; but Fleury is little likely to peach
either in life or death. Perhaps, after ell,
Guizot Is right-that Napoleon has enough to
think Of without involving himself In the
meshes Of another war.

COUNTY FAIR GROUNDS.

We publish, below, an act OF the Leg
islature of last winter authorizing the
commissioners of the several counties,
on petition of majority of the.electors
of the county, to appropriate sum OF
money not exceeding oue-fourth OF one
mill on the taxable, valuation OF their
respective counties, for the purpose OF
purchasing and improving grounds for
the various uses of the County Agricul-
tural Society. We regard the act as sound
and practical. tits just what Lyon coun-
tv needs, and we arc glad to learn that
petitioos are in circulation requesting
the County Board to make the necessary
appropriation. Various eXpedients have
been tried. but we have never had
Fair that was credit to the county, or
ANYTHING but an imperfect stimulus 10

SON is because the Society has had no
Grounds. 1t needs an abiding place.
Tbc stock men, and farmers generally,
as well as every business man OF Lyon
and adjoining counties, is deeply inter-
ested in this movement, and we hope to
see it successfully carried through. The
whole amount that can be raised under
the law is about $3.50 mere bagatelle,
when the advantages are considered.

DOES GRANT DRINK;

This is question of interest to every
wcli-wisher of the country. The eN-
pcrience of three years with topper
President, who commenced his presi-
dental term by disgracing the country,
has been quite enough for the American
people. They don't want any more
Presidents of that sort. Consequently,
many are apprehensive about General
Grant. The story of his intemperance
is oft repeated. 1t comes from those
who desire to see him defeated for
President. Such reports on the eve of
election, should always be taken with
great allowance.
