The EdgefieId Bucket FACTORY.

We stated several days ago that the pro
prietors of the Edgefeld Bucket Factory,
Messrs. Prewitt, Spur & Co., had sustained
such loss by the destruction of their build
ing by tire, that it was more than likely that
they would not be able to rebuild. This Is
the true state Of the case, and unless they
obtain aid, there is no likelihood of the FAC
tory being again in operation Efforts have
been made to raise upwards OF slO,OOO or
$4,000 in the way Of additional stock at
500 a share, but so far little has been done.
1t has been a good paying concern Tor seV-
eral years past, and but for the fact that the
proprietors were crippled by The
large expenditure in the purchase OF ma
cbinerv from the Penitentiary, and imme-
diately upoa the heels Of that visited by a
destructive fire, the stock wOuld be about
tbe best in the market. Fully under way

number Of enterprising men viii be found
to take the required stock. and this import

Hundreds Of people are constantly arriv-

in the country, many looking after friends
who were residents or visitors here, and
others actuated by curiosity. The streets
of the burnt district are fairly crowded to-

strangers, most of them on foot, but the
wider thoroughfares on the south side are
comparatively free of Instructions, and
many vehicles are traversing them.

A careful estimate of the number of peO-

one hundred and ten thousand, distributed
as follows: in the north division, $4,000,
or all but five Thousand of its entire popu-

in the south division, 10000, and in the

The coverings of insurance companies,
and the probabilities of their being able to
pay any portion of their losses, are eagerly
canvassed. The general impression seems
to be that the foreign. companies will pay,
and there is also a strong feeling of conf
dence in the San Francisco companies.
That some of the eastern companies have
given notice of their intention to pay has
already been stated,

AFFAIRS IN CUBA.-By special telegram
from the HERALD's correspondent in Havana
we learn that the humane policy of Valmaseda
has been the means of restoring peace to
several important districts Of the island. If
the remainder Of the rebels in arms would
study their best interests and save their lives
they should at once lay down their arms and
thus end a contest in which they have not the
slightest hope of success.

Over and Terminer of the murder OF Walter
Johnson, another negro. 1t will be remem-
bered that he was sentenced to be hanged on the

The respite expires next Friday, on which day

The SOUND THRAsHING which the Missouri
republicans brought upon themselves last fall
from their factious divisions about General
Grant and the federal spoils appears to have
done them good. The fighting factions have
agreed to come together again and repair
damages if they can. 1t is to be feared, how
ever, that, as with their factious brethren of
New York, their repentance comes too late.
Brayed in mortar the fool may see his folly;
but being brayed his case is past mending.

Appropriation bill, which finally passed both

examinations, and all applicants for Office will
be subject to rigid inquiry as to their qualifi-

great advance on the present system of ap-
pointment, but still it falls far short of the
requirements of the service.

often gathered around them before; but they
cannot forget that the dark clouds have
always been dispersed, and that after the
darkness the light has been brighter the COM
fort greater, the strength more potent than
before. The Papacy is most unquestion-
ably placed under new conditions. As
we think, the temporal power is gone,
and gone for good But Italy, which
has found the temporal power in her way,
begins now to give evidence that in her judg-
ment the chair Of st. Peter has temporal
rights which must be respected. Compensa-
tion is, therefore, coming. Pope Plus the
Ninth, by remaining in Rome, in spite of
much bad and foolish advice, is acting in har-
mony with the highest wisdom and for the
best interests of the Church The Catholic
population of the world are more attached to
the chair of ST. Peter in this the day of its
trouble than perhaps they ever were before.
BY clingng to Rome the Pope has shown
that the councils Of the Catholic Church are
new trouble in a new age; but the Pope
and Cardinal Antonelli have wisely concluded
that there is nothing in the present aspect of
things to bar the hope that the Catholic
Church will live long enough to give Macau-
lays New Zealander an opportunity of stand
ing on London Bridge and sketching the ruins
of st. Paul's. 1t is always well when wisdom
rules. We are not sorry that the Pope has
decided to remain in Rome

The Prussian Occupation and Evacuation
of Paris-Herald Special Reports and
Map OF France.
We have full and interesting particulars by
special cable telegram from the NEW YORK
HERALDs correspondent in Paris, which we
publish in another column this morning, of
the German occupation of the capital of
France and its subsequent evacuation by the
soldiers of Germany. Our news columns
supply all the information that could
be cleaned of the German occupation,
the conduct of the Parisians during the stay
of the victors, and the satisfaction which
was expressed when it was announced that
the retirement would Immediately commence.
The military pageant, as it is described by the
HERALD writer, was very brilliant. The
cavalcade commenced to move through the
city at al early hour in the morning and
played the tattered banners Of many of the
German regiments. The men moved under
the Arch Of Triumph in the blaze of sudden
burst of sunshine. Precautions against oppo-
siton or disorder were not neglected by the
Prussians generally; for it was observed that
cannon were unlimbered near the arch, and
that the gunncrs stood ready for duty should
il have been made necessary to clear the side
avenues. The act was completed, however, in
quiet.
With our special dispatches we publish
HERALD map, ample and most carefully pre-
pared, setting forth the ceded territory of
Alsace and Lorraine, accompanied by de-
scriptive account Of its population, area and
resources. This exhibit pictures France as it
was, shows the portion of the soil which has
been lost to the French, the fortified places,
cities, towns and other strategic points which
have been conquered from them by the vic
tors. and presents the land as it remains for
its regeneration.
The war is ended, and now that peace has
at length dawned on France let US hope that
with its restoration may come q resumption
of commercial activity, revival of industry
and an effort to call back that prosperity which
during tle war was silenced and crushed but
not annihilated.
