Another Financial Explosion at
Pittsburgh.

We stated the other day thar II seemed
IA II the prophet who prophesied so re-
malkably in the "Modern Thinker" last
wear must have had Pittsburgh in his
mind when he spoke about the number
Of developments of official rottenness that
would follow the outbreak Of the panic.
Absolutely the developments Of official
default and corruption up there are be-
coming monotonous. 1t was only the
other morning that we had the news Of
an Insurance Secretary being short some
$l7S,OOO in his accounts. Now we find
in the Pittsburgh papers OF yesterday a
discovery that the Water Works Com
mission Of the city through their secre-
lary are short $4,000.
It seems that said Secretary placed
bonds to this amount 10. the keeping OF
the "Nation Trust Company" bank, to
be negotiated, the proceeds to go to the
building OF an addition to the city water
works. The cashier Of that bank sold q
portion Of these bonds and bypothecated
the bslsuce for loans in Philadelphia, and
then, one fine morning, turned up miss.

Blame Of gross carelessness Is laid mp
on the Water. works Commission, especi-
ally upon the Secretary, who neglect
ed to follow up the bonds
when placed with the bank for
negotiation and to see that the proceeds
were promptly placed to the credit of the
city. A meeting Of the City Council was
held Monday, at whichit was stated that
the stockholders Of the ''Nation Trust
Company" Bank were individually liable
for the proceeds OF the bonds, and that
they represented pecuniary RESPONSE
bility Of $2oOOO,Ooo. This announcement
had a soothing effect on the Council, but
still does not allay the excitement among
the people up there, who by this time are
badly demoralized over the rapid success
sion oi failures and defaults that have
taken place in that community since tho
panic.

The Postmaster Generals Report


The Postmaster Generals Report.
The country Is getting the Synopses OF
lhe various Department reports at Wash
ihgton in advance Of their usual delivery
at the opening OF Congress. And this is
all well enough, as when report isready
and printed n may as well be published.
The Postmaster Generals report is inter.
esting in several particulars. The ordi'
nary revenues oi the department for the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1873, were
$22. .996,74l 81, and the expenditures Of
all kinds, $2O0A, ,945.67. For the year
ended June 80, 1872. the ordinary reve.
uues were $9l, ,9l5, ,42C 81, and the expen.
dilures, $26G5S, ,109 81. In 1878 there
was an increase Of revenue over 1879 ol
0Sl,S15 20, or 4 9S per cent, and an in
crease oi expenditures Of % ,426, 1853 SO, OF
9l0 per cent. 5.Gsy,f IL
The estimated expenditures for theyear
ending June 80, 1876, are $S3, 3,9s9,o ,ols, and
the revenues $s929S, $40. ~.
TIE FREE DELIVERY SYSTEM.
Is now In operation In the principal
cities, and during the present year nearly
four hundred million pieces oil mail mat
ter were handled by the carriers. With
this report ends the first decade in the
Tree delivery service in this country. The
grounds mainly relied upon for its estab-
lIshment and extenslon-namely, public
convenience and stimulus TO correspond
ence-hsve been fully verified by expert
ence. The Postmaster General recon-
mends the extension Of the system to all
cities Of 10000 inhabitants, The total
number Of officers and employees Of the
department Is 47,0lo, ofwhom 8l,s6s are
postmasters. III t.@
MONEY ORDERS AND POSTAL CARDS,
There are 3,069 money order officers.
They paid out during the year $751;.
2Sj.Ola. The postal cards, as predicted
have been iavorsbly received. They have
supplied public want, and have made
new and remunerative business for the
Department. The issue foots up In five
months, G4,8023OO. These figures lndi
c,te that the estimate OF 10O,O0O0OO for
the consumption Of tho first year will be
more than realized.
A revision Of postmaster's salaries 10
all offices, with a salary Of not less than
$1,000 Is recommended on tho basis oI
actual receipts.

BIsuARck No LONGER OMsrporENr.-

marck from the posltionspf Minister OF
Foreign Afuirsof Germsny, is supposed
to have resulted from defeat which he
suffered in the closing days, OF ths Ger
man Parliament, and which is the second
defeat he has met in the Prussian 'Osbi-
net during six months. The flrst was
tho Counties reform bill. which passed
the Lower House, but which the House
OF Peers construed into an attack upon
the vested rights OF their order, by Great
ing elective Legislative Gssemblages in the
provinces. Prince Bismarck, who framed
the bill, sought to overcome tho stub
born opposition Of the House of Peers,
oy creating q batch Of new peers, suili
cient to swamp the opposition Oh this
subject, and which might have given
him majority in any other legislation
he could have got through the Lower
House. When Prince Bismarck was re-
fused tEeso plenary powers, he tendered
his reaiguatlon rs President of the Prus-
sian Cabinet. which position he then
held, as we'll as that OF Minister of Fo.
reigu AIairs. The resignation was
promptly accepted by tho Emperor.
Since that period, the Chancellor of the
Empire has been simply Foreign Minis
ter oil Prussia. AS Chancellor Of the
Empire, bismarck il the only responsi
bile Minister recognized by the Federal
Constitution, and il responsible for the
course OF business before the German
Parliament. This position he still holds,
as we'll as other less important cffi.es
his next defeat was on demaud that
the Parliament should dispose of the
army bill, private measure of the Em-
peror, before the close Of the session
but the Parliament refused. and thcre-
upon sharp dispute nrose between the
Federal War Minister, Marshal Won
Room, aud Chancellor Bismarck, a. 20
who was responsible for the loss Of lhe
measure, III which Bismarck is said to
have come of second best. In addition
to this, the press bill, which was framed
to check the license of the Ultramontune
newspapers, but could have been used
for the suppression OF all newspapers
crlticlsiny the Government, was opposed
by both Uitromuntanes and Liberals,
and though Bismarck defended the bill,
he denied its authorship, and dcciurel
that be hal introduced it merely as the
agent OF the Prussan Government,
which his colleagues in the Prussiau
Ministry contradictcd, and this seems 10
have led to his retirement from the Mi
nistry OF Foreign Aif.irs, in which lie
has been succeeded by Herr Won Bolan.
It seems to be inferred from these re-
suits, that bismarck has lost his com.
manding influence in tho Prussian Clbi-
net. 1t is quite certain that tho repre-
sentative body of the empire does not
seem inclined TO submit without resist
ance to his will. and that in the trials of
strength thus far he has not been tho
victor.

!, CAN He RE ELECT HIMsELF?-Thene
seems to be little doubt now that Presi-
dent Grant has resolved to have o third
term in the White House. It is noto-
rious that conferences Of his personal
friends have recently taken place at
Long Branch, and it is hardly possible
that he is not cognizant of the matter
they have had under consideration. The
Grant clique, and Grant himself, RELY
upon three points to insure his triumph
ant re election. First, the moneyed in-
torests--that is to say, the railroad cor
porations, national banks, mannfac-
turers, iron and coal capitalists and
monOpolists Of all c!asses-will cordially
support him, because, under his udmi-
nistration, the artificial means which
make The rich richer and the poor poorer
will be protected and fostered. Second.
the. army of olioe-holders will work for
him. They very largely control the
election machinery in tho Stalos which
decide the Presidential contest and. as
in Pennsylvania and Maine, manipulate
the ballot-boxes SO ns TO give any re-
quired majority for their employers.
Third, the opposition are beloved to be
hopelessly divided. There nre Liberal
Democrats and Bourbon Democrats.
Liberal Republicans and Labor Reform.
ers, Prohibitionists and Patrons OF Hus-
bandry, Free Traders and s'Unific alton
lists. On the other hand, Grant is be-
lieved to be more popular than auy other
man with his own party, and certain in
the future, ns in the past, to rally it's
largest vote.
It is rather premature for the Presi.
dents friends to cast tho political horo.
scope for 1876 A great many thing,
are going to happen within the next
throe years, and some of them may be OF
enough consequence to revolutionize the
country. For instance, it is impossible
to tell what the farmers movement will
amount to until after the elections OF
next fall in the West. This thing. how
ever, We know. President Grant, what.
ever may be his popularity with grasping
monopolists, is abhorred by q vast ma
Jority of the people. as test, let any
one OF our readers question the next 100

~, L
most sensational bit of news recently
sent over from the old world is that
about the re-carving of Eastern Errope
by the great powers which, eighty years
nso, divided Poland among themselves.
liussia, Prussia and Austria, j. is said
have agreed uDon making a new map of
their part of Europe. Austria il to cede
to Prussia her German aud Bohemian
provinces, and to take in turn the whole
OF Turkey III Europe, and Russia is to
have as her share of the spoil the whole
Of Aslatic Turkey. by this arrangement,
the German people becomc united under
one sovereign. Austria fonnds u new
empire, stretching from the banks of the
Danube to those of the Hellespont, and
ltnssia reigns in British Ind,a| on the
West as she has on the North by the con-
quest of khiva. Who is to hinder this
reconstruction, if the three aulucrats of
the three empires decree it? Not Tur.

Just ready to fall to pieces. Not France

There Is absolutely nothing 10 Europe
now strong enough to oppose success
fully the will Of tho throe great powers
OF Eastern Europe. SO, though the story
OF an agreement to divide the sick neigh
bor's territory among them, is all excit-
ing one, it is not an improbable one.
The year 1873 is devoted to an exposition
of the peaceful arts, in the capital of one
OF the conspirators. The exposition
building will be cleared out OF the way
next year. and there will be nothing to
hinder general scrimmage.
Gen. Quesada says that assistance has
been promised Cuba by the Mexicans
and Peruvians. A conference OF repre.
sentatives from tho South American re.
publics will probably be held in Wash.
ington before long. The cause of Cuban
independence is brighter now than at
any previous time since the revolution
ary standard was first flung to the
breeze. The discord in Spain is favors-
bio to the patriots. 1t may not be o
