arge; go large that It vas beyond all hope
OF ever being paid. The annual revenues Of
the Government were not sufficient to pay it's
ordinary expenses, much less to pay the interest
Oh the debt in addition. The annual apppro-
priations for the Papal household were regu-
larly made, but the Treasury was never able to
pay them. Financially, the condition Of the
Papal Government was very low, and was
getting worse every year, and it vas indebted
to tho contributions received from al parts
Of the world for the means Of keep
ing up even show Of respectable
power. The assumption Of the whole
debt by the Kingdom Of Italy was great re-
lief to the Papal Government, which, however,
has uniformly protested against being thus re-
leved. It has in like manner refused to accept
from the King OF Italy the revenue it so sadly
needs, and prefers to depend upon the yolun-
tary contributions sent to it from the faithful
il all quarters OF the GLOBE. It does this rather
than submit to 3 political change which it hopes
to have reversed at some time, and when the
Pope will again be recognized as the sovereign
Prince Of Rome.

they demand, "the prize for which ne have
been fighting? If 80, ne might as well have
voted for Greeley. Had he been chosen, We
would have had nothing to say, and now We have

Had President Grant acted upon this rule
heretofore, and especially for two years past,
very different set Of men would have been his
influential supporters, and the Cincinnati Con-
Ventlon would never have been held. He Will

It has become very evident that Boston has
not the need for relief which was supposed at
first. It was a natural impulse Of gratitude and
iberality that prompted the donation Of 80
large sum from the Chicago Relief fund and
by private subscription, and no one will regret
it. On the other hand, it is gratifying to learn
not only that the suffering entailed by the Bos-
ton IRE is not so great as to demand any move
ment OF general relief, but that the people and
press there protest against the somewhat pre-
cipitate action of the Committee in an
nonncing the acceptance Of all aid that
might be profered. The highest estimate
that has been placed upon the number
of families burned out is 800, or about 1900
people in all. Boston feels generally that it is
abundantly able to provide for these people.
Boston is heartily welcome to the 100000 of
the Chicago Relief money set apart for her
sufferers, and We have no doubt that those who
have made private subscriptions outside Of this
will not regret them for one moment. But the
work Of soliciting might stop. The renewed
declaration Of the Boston press that no more
aid is needed should be sufficient assurance that
Chicago has done all that could pe expected in
any quarter

GRANT AND Cameron.

The most creditable act of President Grants
administration, for which his late political op-
ponents will not hesitate to give him due credit
is his rebuff to the Cameron-Hartranft Ring, in
the matter Of the Philadelphia Post Office. This
is the second rebuff nIr. Cameron has received
the first being when he demanded that the heads
Of Forney, Curtin, and others Who opposed
Hartranft in Pennsylvania should be'given him
in charger. The President is right in assum-
ing, as he does, that he Tas in no Eav iudebtef1
to the Cameron-Hartranft crowd for his succesa
at the polls in Pennsylvania. On the contrary,
the load Of their iniquities, which he voluntarily
assumed two years ago was the
heaviest burden he had to GRITTY. Had
Hartranft run in any other than q Prasi.
DENTAL year, be would have been beaten BY forty
thousand majority. It ia still doubtful whether
the frauds which are being unearthed BY the
Municipal Reform Association in Philadelpbia
will not prove that Hartranft was really defaated
by the honest vote Of the State. The Phi1ade1-
phla Press insists that the evidence will show
that, instead of the 600 majority reported for
Hartranft in Philadelphia, that CITY was &C.:
tually carried by Buckalew. From one end
OF the State to the other, Simon Cam

The epizootic, after having disabled the horses
OF New York for fortnight, is now followed by
a supplementary disease, of the character of
dropsy, which is assumed to be the result of
putting the horses at work before they have suf-
fciently recovered. This second attacks so gen
omnibuses to haul off large part of their force,
and to compel the withdrawal Of other horses
engaged in transportation in the city. Ok teams,
which had been discontinued, have been put at
been partially renewed. The deaths from the
relapse Of the disease are more frequent than
from the original attack, and, therefore,, those
who have had sick horses should be careful that
they are not put at work too soon. What
has happened in New York in respect
to this disease may happen from the same causes
here, and, though We have had yet no cases Of
the supplementary disease in Chicago, it is but
natural to expect that there will be some.
In the meantime, the epizootic has taken up d
vide line Of travel. It has gone northward,
through Wisconsin, and will, no doubt, reach
Minnesota. 1t has entered iowa, and will, possi-
bly,, pass into Nebraska. It has gone south
through this State, and will in time attack st.
Louis. It prevails largely in Ohio, all the towns
and cities from Toledo to Cincinnati being af-
ficted by it's disabling effects upon the horsGe.
It seems to progress with regularity, hardly any
place escaping it. It is reasonable to aasume
that from Ohio it will cross into Kentucky, and
thence down, in due procession, to the cities On
