MEETING THEIR ENGAGEMENr.-It is
known that the fire which occurred in this
town on the 9th of July, imposed loss of
over $4,000 on the Franklin Insurance COM
pany of Wheeling. The Secretary of the
company, Mr.. Coen, at once paid the dam
ages assessed upon the property of Mrs. Doug
lass, by which she was enabled to repair her
house, aud have it ready for occupation in
less than one week from the date of the fire.
The other sufferers were NIessrs. John II.
Campbell and S. II. Woody, whose losses
have since been adjusted and fully met. BY
the terms of the policy, the company were
entitled to ninety days from the time of the
fire, but waving its right to exact strict conf
pliance with the terms, the company, as stat
ed, have paid up the entire amount of the
losses incurred In this action it has entitled
itself to the confidence of the owners of prop
crty, which will doubtless be manifested in
an increase of the number Of its policies.

TIE SPANISH CONSTITUTION. -Altheugh
the Spanish people have not succeeded IN
establishing republic, their new mouar-
chy seems likely 10 be founded upon very
liberal principles The proposed Consti-
tuition, which has ust been submitted to
the Cortes, makes ample provisions for
suffrage. and gives to the enfranchised
citizens not only an inalienable right TO
vote, but the right of free speech and Pc
ton. TIE provisions in regard to relig-
ION are as follows:
Article .. The nation obliges itself to
maintain the worship and the ministers Of
the Catholic religion.
Art. 21. The pablo and private exer-
cises Of any other worship are guaranteed
to all foreigners resident in Spain, with
out other limitations than the universal
rules of morals aud of right.
Art. % Il any Spaniards profess any
other religion than the Catholic. all the
dispositions of the foregoing paragraph
are applicable to them.
Art. % Every Spaniard may found
and maintain establishments of instruc-
ton or education. without previous, IL
csnse. save the inspection Of the compe-
teLt authority for reasons Of health and
morality.

GENERAL GRAsr AND Hrs PagrY.
The Radical war upon Grant and his sd
minis'rasion has about fairly begun.
rhe sfb~iency Of some os the gentlemen
whom General Grant. poor Judge of
men, selected for members Of his Cabinet,
is becoming grossly manifest. It is no
secret that the Secretary of State, though
gentleman. IS weak timber, and wholly
unequal TO the position ard it is mat
ter of notoriety that the administration of
The Navy Department is Admiral Porter's:
The New York Sun. though desiring
to keep peace in the family, is compelled
to talk out in meeting" in this way
A dispatch IN the Commercial Adpe--
tiser brings the Information that either
Mr.. Borie or Admiral Porter. and most
likely both Of them, will probably soon
retire from the Navy Department. We
trust that this information is correct. and
that the event announced will take place
st once.
The presence Of these two gentlemen
IN the Navy Department. under the pc
culiar circumstances which surround them.
we regard as one of the most unfortunate
occurrences which has ever happened IN
connection with the national Executive.
Ii is the introduction of false pretences
into the highest spheres Of public life. It
ia the conservation of humbug and de-
ceit By the most solemn sanctions 1t
is a wrong to the nation fraud against
the public conscience aud an almost ire
parable injury So the President who has
been seduceti into allowing It.
We shall not examine in any detail the
short administration ,chich .4dnlir1i Por-
Ter aas carried on under the thin disguise
Of Mr. Borles name We dare say that
i mas done good, but we are equally GER
tain that It has done harm. 1t has par
doncd officers suffering ind sentence Of
court martial, who are said TO have been
relatives either Of the titular Secretary or
of he Admiral 1t has reduced paymas-
tiers. surgeons and other staff officers in
rank according 10 Admiral Porter's Ideas,
and then it has put them back again IN
accordance with the law. It has made
some needless aud some useful disturbance;
but it is not by the merits or dement's 0.
It's action that it is to be judged.
What condemns it beyond apology is the
falsehood in S constitution. Il has I
nominal Secretary, physically tncompe-
tent to learn the dutie. OF whtch he IS ut
ferly ignorant, and it In. a naval officer
who exercises power without auy cores
pondipg responsibility. 1t is organized
on bogus principles, and whether it works
well OF Ill, it cannot stand It is of suca
a nature. in short that should it be per-
sisted IN for any length Of time. it would
be the duty of the House Of representa-
tives to impcach Mr.. Boric, and bring
him before the bar Of the Senate to be
tried for high crimes and misdemeauors
such as before his advent III the Navy
Department we're never dreamed Of in our
history.

SELAH.-The transiasars of the Bible
have left the Selah, which occurs so often
IN the Psalms, as they found it, and of
course the English reader often asks his
minister or some learned friend what it
means. And the minister or learned
friend has most often been obliged to con-
fess ignorance, because it is matter in
regard to which the most learned have
BY no means been of one mind. The
Targums aud most OF the Jewish COM
mentators give to the word the meaning
of eternaUy. forever kimchi regards
it as sign to elevate the veice. The
authors of the Septuagent translation ap-
pear to have regarded it as a musical or
rythmical note Herder regards it as
indicating a change of tone. Aatheson,
as musical tone, equivalent perhaps to

and others it meaus silence Geseuius
explains it to mean "let the instruments
