Trouble Is already coming TO the surface
in the Republican party in Pennsylvania, over
their obnoxious State ticket. 1t appears that
several Federal off1cs-holders In the Interior
OF the State have declared their opposition to
the Harrisburg ring nominations, which has
greatly incensed Senator Cameron, who made
that ticket, and who now reports these officials
as hostile to the administration and asks for
their removal. The President, of course, hesi-
tates to pursue such warfare as thar, for it
woUla Inevitably bring down upon him al! the
Republican opponents OF Hartrapft and COM
pany, marshalled by Forney, and would rem
der defeat, even from an administration stand
point, absolutely certain in October. Republl-
can advices from various quarters of the
State already concede defeat In October by
the triumphant election of Mr.. Buckalew as
Governor. If Cameron persists In the ostra-
cism of Federal off1ce-holders, the ordinary
work of the campaign will not be even neces-
sary to bring that result about.
As it now appears the full limit of ruses,
strategies, demurrers and lodges Of all sorts
has been exhausted, aud the trial Of. Stokes is
fairly on for whatever fortune awaits him,
though the counsel show willingness to put
on the break wherever there is chance, and
undoubtedly the public will be many times out
Of patience before the fate of Jim Fiskc muir
derer Is actually decided. The court room,
as the prisoner was brought In, reminded the
spectators Of McFar!ands trial In the interest
manifested, and on account Of the same ac-
tors In much of the proceedings. Stokes
seems to have gained in point OF dignity aud
zeal By an exchange of counsel, though 1t is
doubtful If his present defenders are up to all
the felnts and blinds and bluster that John
Graham was master of. The Tribune says
that the reports of Stokes's csre-worn look
Lave been exaggerated, though there has
come sprinkllng of gray among his jetty
locks, and he has lost his vivaclty; though he
is only sober not respondent man. His
father, with white hair and shaggy beard and
the same bright eye that adds to the beauty of
his sen, anxlously watched every movement
Of the opening, and stayed through the entire
day, Other members of the Stokes family
were In attendance.
The whole world will be interested In
knowing the use which Germany makes of the
war indemnity she has received from France.
The grand totals Of the moneys which France
Is to pay to her conqueror foot up somewhat in
excess of 1,441, ,4s7, ,s6l thalers. OF this sum,
however, France receives back. ss,S66, ,6G6
thalers for the railways of fAlsace.Lorraiue.
The German government, very wisely. for It's
own purposes, has used this vast su n Of money
first In aiding and restoring the provinces re-
Gently annexed, giving $1,000, 600 to persons
and corporations whose property was destroy
ed, and spending II, ,440, 900 thalers in replen-
ishing the rolling stock on the railway lines,
for. strategicsl purposes. Large Sums have
been paid to the families of the landwehr,
1000, 900 thalers have been distributed among
the successful generals, and ten times that
sum has been set apart as reserve fund for
the next war. These sums having been eX-
pended In repairing losses by the late conflict,
and other huge appropriations having been
made for the building of fortresses and pre-
pairing for future exigencies, Something is left
to be divided among the several States. Even
In this distribution warlike considerations are
kept in view, and three-fourths of the whole
