4 FINANCIAL WoNpER.-The D

n FINANCIAL WONDER.-The pay
ment of the indemnity fund by France
is the most remarkable financial event
the world ever witnessed When it is
remembered that the war indemnity
was five billion francs, or a billion Of
dollars, and that the interest, the re-
QUESTIONS, the fines and the war contri-
buttons eXacted from Paris. carried it
up to a billion and a half of francs,
or three hundred million dollars more,
the magnitude Of this financial feat
may be properly estimated. 1t throws
r"ranletelv into the shade all that has
been done by the United SCates.-
France came out of the most drsas-
trous war of modern times in a condi-
tion which seemed to threaten bank
ruptcy, yet she has wiped off the
immense debt imposed by her con-
querer, since February 90, 1871. This
she has done without lowering her
financial credit. Her paper currency
is now only small fraction of l per
cent. below par value in gold, while
that of the United States is nearly I6
per cent. below par to-day. We may
learn from this action of France that
1t Is not seemly for us to blow quite
so loud about our financial achieve
ments as we have been doing

A REIIC.-The Indcpen deRt, published
at Chester, Delaware county, says;
i few days since we were shown an an
cient flour ladle, owned by Mr. George
Ii. Rigby of Media, which is more than
one hundred ard fifty years old. 1t was
originally made cut OF a single piece of
wood-a rough oak knOt-and must have
been at first extremely heavy for such
domestic utensil, but now it is almost as
light as cork, being perforated in every
direction by worm holes. The bowl por-
tiOn is about four inches deep and the
handle over a foot in length. 1t was made
S~t- h. Is~-, C'i+~-H <-e,--..--, eIae
time or soon after the first settlers had
penetrated the wilderness in that direc-
ton. 1t was cOntempOrancOus with the
latter days of William Penn, and the
hosts of Indians who swarmed over
Eastern Pennsylvania at that period, and
if it had voice could tell many a strange
and thrilling tale of the past. This ladle
has always been in the possession of the
Rigby family, the ancestors Of the present
proprietor having taken an active part in
the Revolutionary war. 1t would be
prominent and attractive curiosity i'll the
forthcoming Centennial Celebration in
1870. Its safe preservation requires that
1t should be placed in wooden box or a
glass case made expressly for its reception
and this should be done without delay.
tea-kettle of very antique pattern, was
also exhibited, which was over one hun
dred years old, and which has evidently
seer good service in its day and genera
ton. 1t was made before the commence
ment of the Revolution, and hence is a
relic of no ordinary interest. These heir
looms are highly valued for their histor-
ical as well as their genealogical associa-
tionS.

SENIOR CASTELAR, is now President
of Spain, with unusual powers lodged
i'll his hands. He can enlarge the
army, purchase rifles and munitions
of war, and raise funds for carrying
on vigorous campaign against the
enemies of the Republic. Nothing is
now needed, says the Philadelphia
Age, but vigorous cooperation on the
part of the people of Spain to free
that country from the Carlists and
other disturbers of the peace That
cooperation should be given to the
new President if his administration
is to be a success. One man cannot
carry the whole interests of Spain on
his shoulders or in his brain. He
must have assistants-bold, fearless,
patriotic assistants. They must come
unaskcd to his side, and throw into
the popular scale their characters,
purses and swords. When this is
done matters will assume different
aspect in Spain. CASTELAR, is true,
uhselfish man. He evidently has a
proper comprehension of what is
needed to make the Republic of Spain
a success. The Cortes have given
him power to act, and now if the
patriotic masses will rally to his sup
port brighter day Will assuredly
dawn upon the people of Spain.

THE STATE FAIR.-One of the notable
events of the year is to take place at Erie
on the Both of September. At the most
propitious season of our usually bright au-
tnmns the PonnzyIvaania State Agricultural
Society will hold its annual exhibition
The display gives fruitful promise that it
will be one Of the very best ever held under
the auspices of the Society. The entries
are free to all the world, and the Society
has wisely determined that the books of
ing, that complete arrangement may be
made of the entries offered for prizes.
The time is at that period in which clear.
good weather may almost be counted a
certainty. The premiums upon many ar
tIcles have been considerably increased.
and the list much enlarged. The arrange
ments Tor meetings each evening of the
falr are new and excellent feature. In
these meetings farmers may learn from
one another, to the benefit of the economi-
cal interests which the Society is so anx-
lous to foster. y very large display of i'm
proved farm stock will be on exhibition
OF tine horses and samples of all the best
breeds of horned cattIe-while the turn
out IN such n hive of industry as Erie. of
manufactured articles useful as machinery
or as aids to the farmer, is certain to be
worthy of attention. So many assurances
IN these respects have been given that we
ieel confident III stating that the display
Ia these departments will be entirely salts
factory. The officers are now at Erie. the
BOOKS OF entry open, and all applications
Tor space IN person or by letter will receive
the most prompt attention from them.

The annual report of Superintendent
Chapman on the Life Insurance business
in New York states that in 1859 there were
fourteen companies holding risks of S14t,-
600, 600, and possessing assets of $50, 500,
000- In 1870 there We're seventy-one COM
panies having TAI, S07 policies in force, in-
assets 5000, 600 900. At the present time
about one-sixth of the companies doing
business in 1870 have retired. There are
only now in existence fifty nine companies,
holding 6O4, ,44 policies, insuring 50, H.
T42, ,591, and owning gross assets of $685.,
16S, 542. OF the fifty-nine companies thir-
ty-two are New York organizations, the
remainder belonging to other States. This
decrease is due to the contraction of bust
ness and the consolidation of companies,
but it is evident that the remedy for exist
ing evils in the insurance business has not
yet been discovered.

AN election for members of the Leg
lslature took place in California on
Wednesday of last week. The contest
was essentially between the people ir-
respective of party on the one side and
the Central Pacific Rail Road monop-
oily on the other That corporation
for several years has exercised a con-
trolling influence over the politics of
the State. In the recent contest the
victory was very decidedly with the
people and against the rail road COR
poratlon. The radical party in the
State emerged from the campaign sad
ly demoralized, its leaders and office,
seekers, with the exception of Gov.
Booth, having espoused, as they in
varlably do, the cause of monopo,v
against the rights of the people. Upon
the Legislature just elected will de.
volve the duty of clecting United
States Senator, to succeed Hon. Eu

will expire OH March 4, 1873. Wheth

MosBY, the noted Virginia chieftain
during the civil war, has played,a very
scurvy trick on his particular friend
Grant. About 4 year ago he made it
known that he had become warm
admirer of the administration of our
" Second Washington" Afterwards
he occasionally visited the Capitol
always called at the White House, and
was once invited to place his legs un-
der Presidential mahogany. Every
thing was serene and lovely between
the great L. >. ana the EaIuUu, s,,.l.-
lila, J. S. At the proper time MOsby
mildly suggested to his Excellency
that if the latter would only conde-
scend to confer certain offices on GER
tain Of his (Mosby's) personal friends
iii Virginia, he would regard it as a
special favor. The appointments were
promptly made, and Mosby was thence
forth regarded as the right bower of
Grantism in the Old Dominion. Now,

RadicaL Hypocrisy.

Radical hypocrisy never assumed
so shameless front as when in its
conventions, both State and county,
it undertakes to adopt resolutions de
nouncing Congress for passing the
back-pay bill, and at the same time
avoids any allusion to Grants agency
i'll the matter. Although he was the
very head and front Of the sWlnd4e,
and is more responsible for 1t than the
majority of Congress who xoteottor 1t,
vetno radical convention has arraigned
him having signed the bill, thereby
giving TO it all the force and validity
of law; but has sought to shift the
whole responsibility from his. shoul-
dcrs to those of the members who sus-
tanned it by their votes. Public at
tention cannot be diverted from the
man who is in fact wholly responsible
by a subterfuge so palpably transpa-
rent. \ President who has the power
to nullify any obnoxious bill which
Congress may pass, by interposing
his reto, but refuses to exercise it,
must bear whatever odium justly at
taches to it, and cannot by any politi-
cal chicanery escape or avoid it. Com
mon sense vindicates the justice of the
rule and all former practice has been
/ in strict accordance with it. The late
radical convention of this county at
tempted this same silly dodge, by first
passing a resolution endorsing Grants
administration and then adopting the
following:
Res0lUed, That we condemn the action
of those members of Congress who were in
any way identified with the Credit Mobil-
icr question, or what is generally known
as the Salary Grab" and that we believe
it would be for the good of the country if
not one of those thus identified should ever
again Dc placed in position of honor or
trust in the Government
1t will be seen from this resolution
that the radicals of Cambria county
condemn the members of Congress
"acho lrere an any lcay identified" with
the Salary Grab" but have not one
word of eensure for Grant, whose sig
nature to the bill, as Gen Garfield told
his radical constituents, made at lar.
As bill by its mere passage through
Congress does not become q law, but
only becomes SO when approved by
the President, the whole responsibility
for the outrage rests on Grant, and on
him alone. We have just one plain
question to ask the radicals of Cam
bria county. If they agree with their
convention in condemning the men,
bers of Congress ''who were in any
way identified with the salary grab, )"
how can they excuse or palliate Grants
merCenary conduct, who, by signing
the bill, increased his own salary to
the extent of one hundred thousand
dollars in four years, and thus became
absolutely "identifed' with the fraud
in all the depths of it's infamy? With
out has action in the premises and
without has signature, not a single
member Of Congress wouEd ever have
been enabled to Foeget one farthing
