INDUSTRY IN SWITZERLAND is marching
on" The valuable letter printed in another
column is fair exhibit of what republican
institutions can achieve when tempered with
conservatism at home and protected by
natural barriers from external ambitions.
Nature has provided Switzerland with for
tress which no armies can reduce, as the
can either successfully attack or permanently
blockade. Thus both republics can live
within themselves, whatever the emergency
but is it not q subject upon which either
Republic may justly congratulate itself, that
the peace of neither is menaced by an am
bilious foe and that commercial prosperity is
dominating all other forces?

CAUCUS OF THE Crowns IN BER1M.-
The King of Italy arrived in Berlin, from
Vienna, yesterday. His Majesty enjoyed o
very cordial reception from the German Court
and the Prussian populace. 1t was announced
that the Italian monarch came to consult with
Emperor William on the propriety OF joint
action on the part of the Crowns against pos
sible French aggression, and for the adoption
of measures to prevent the elevation of o
French ultramontane cleric to the position of
Supreme Pontiff of the Roman Catholic
Church after the decease of His Holiness Pho
Mono. Matters of exceedingly great impor-
tance, both to Italy and Prussia The Italian
monarch is, it is to be presumed, correctly
posted with respect to the many, diversified,
worldwide interests which are connected
with the question of the Papal succession, and
it is to be hoped that he has viewed the subject
in its different bearings outside of the Quirnal.

The letter Of our correspondent detailing
the action of the international Patent Con-
gress, will be read by inventors the world
over with the deepest interest Especially
are the Americans o nation of inventors, and
to them the proceedings Of this body will be
of the utmost Importance. Few persons not
actively engaged in mechanical industry are
aware of the perplexities which beset the
introduction of inventions abroad. Protec-
ton for the inventor is the last thought of the
despotic government; and thus almost all
machinery embodying progress, wherever
found, is the product of the American
mechanic. The fate of the inventor can be
stated in line: he presents the production
of his genius and patience for government
approval; he is poor, and, if not poor, he has
no influence; his claims are apparently exam
ined; his ideas are appropriated by some favor
ite about Court, and he then proceeds to some
other capital to repeat his bitter experience.
In this way American and native inventors
have been cheated in nearly every country Of
Europe. A system of this kind is no encour-
agement to the mechanic, and instead Of
spending his time in patient examination at
his work bench he is driven to the Jacobin
club to participate in sedition. The United
States, on the contrary, pursue very liberal
course. While more than ten thousand
patents are annually issued at Washington,
less than thirty are granted by the government
at Berlin. We hope that the European Pow
ers may adopt the measures suggested by the
Congress, because we feel sure that they
would do more to make the operative a con-
servative man in society than all the bulls and
manifestoes hurled at the International and
worhngmen's unions.

The STATE CONVENTION of the republican
party of this Commonwealth meets at Utica
tomorrow. Nothing new is reported in con-
nection, except that General Barlow, Secretary
of State, who had retired from the field, has
been persuaded to reconsider his decision and
to consent to serve for another term, if nomi-
mated and elected. Doubtless, therefore, he
will again be placed at the head of the repub-
lican State ticket.

SpA1N-THE SITUATION IMPROVING. The
Spanish Cortes has at last adjourned, after
long and bitter discussion. The government,
taking advantage of the privileges granted by
the Cortes, has issued a proclamation sus-
pending the constitutional guarantees and
regulating the press throughout the country.
The government troops have occupied Malaga,
and public confidence is said to be restored.
It is expected that the insurgents at Carta-
gena will soon lay down their arms. On the
whole the situation in Spain seems to be i'm
proving. The government is revealing more
vigor, and success is attending its efforts all
over the country. CASTELAR, has the good
wishes of all true republicans the wide world
over, and if he should be successful in restor-
ing order he will have done much towards the
permanent establishment of the Republic.

Lastly, the policy OF the government has
proved as wise as it was moderate. We cannot
too much praise the course of President Grant,
for it has probably saved the country from
great financial crash Many persons, wild
with the excitement OF the moment and fear
full of the consequences of the impending
panic, thought it the time for another
exercise of 'the war power" 1t was urged
upon the President to come to the aid of the
banks with Treasury loan, but this was so
clearly illegal that, though Commodore Van
derbilt stood ready with fund OF SO, 600, 900
for the same purpose the proposition was
summarily rejected. Even though this course,
in case of an emergency, might have swal-
lowed up the currency balance and encroached
upon the legal tender reserve, it is possible the
country would have sanctioned it on account
of its extreme necessity. Both New England
and the West, however, would have endorsed
it with very bad grace. A wiser course,
which brings JOY to both sections was adopted.
New England is pleased because the loan to
the banks and the consequent imitation of the
currency was refused and the West also is
happy because the currency balance being
used in the purchase of bonds the Western
idea of saving interest on the public debt was
adopted in practice if not in theory. The
only persons whom this policy could displease
were the speculators who were without col
laterals and whose safety depended upon
their being able to borrow from the banks
after the banks had borrowed from the govern

tured here and keep thousands
of dollars at home which we send
east for them every year.
Thus we have mentioned a few
items. We might enumerate many
others The good mans truth is
that at the present rate we are kept
with our noses TO the grind-stone of
poverty by allowing our resources
to go to the eastern states instead
of outstanding them in our midst.
We may set around on our counters
and in our Offices ard iheorize as 10
what we had better do, and vote
bonds ill Gabriel blows his final
trump, and still remain poor. We
want TO stop the money from
flowing from US and bring some
of it TO US. Then will we pros
per and not till then. These are
our honest convictions on this
whole matter, and we intend to
preach them. If we husband our
resources--if we save our money
we will get rich, and can have
businesssbasis that does not rest en-
tirely on the value of town lots,
and that does not depend upon vot-
ing bonds to get up little excite
ment in order TO enable us to sell
property.

Just now San Franciscans are in
a bad way. They are bothered by
tho sudden and high price of gold,
and the consequent scarcity of it,
the corresponding low price of stock
all along the line, and the near APP
proach of local election of great
importance. But of course the peo-
pie are worried by money matters
more than anything else. Tho de-
preston in the money market, it ap-
pears, is caused by the shipment of
gold 10 New York for speculative
purposes, the recent withdrawal by
the Bank of England of its four mil
lion loan 10 the Central Pacific, and
the increased travel 20 Europe.
This depression is really due to the
banks, as much as any other cause.
There is actually a surplus of gold,
Theoretically sealed, in the vaults of
the savings and other banks await
ing some such exorbiant interests as
@per cent. per month. Those who
need money for Legitimate business
cannot afford to borrow it at such
rates, while those who have money
are lenders, in preference to invest
ing II in trade or commerce.

PooR SoUTu CAEoLINA.-The new
government of South Carolina
promises to be no better than the
old one, which increased the State
debt from S5,O00,O00 to $4,000, 900.
One item of plumber is the issue of
S5,000,000 of scrip for the railway
from South Carolina to Kentucky,
across the south end of the Blue
Ridge, while but 81 SOC, 900 had been
authorized by the, legislature. The
swindlc will undoubtedly be legal
lied. The same lobby that hung
about SCOTS administration is still
engaged in their infamous work.
If less shall be stolen during the
present administration it will be
because there will be less to steal
and it seems as if that State could
never return tovirtuc eXceptthrough
the humiliation of utter poverty.
Among the smaller items of plum
der are S2,O00,OOO of State expenses,
against 100000 a few years ago ;
stationery, $4,000, against 500 not
long since; Governor who, on a
salary of $500, expends $4,000 a
year, and so on.

A LIVELY CoRPsE.-Some weeks
ago We announced, by authority of
a Kansas exchange, the death of our
former fellow citizen, NJ. G.. Mains,
who used to do the pencil work on
the. Emporia Tribune. Then the
report was authoritatively contra
dicted by w. ii. Skinner, OF this
city. This week we are In receipt
of the Somerset (Ohio) Press, one
of the handsomest, cleanest looking
and Iivliest papers we have got hold
OF in a long time, especially from
Ohio, with Mains name floating
grandly at the mast head as editor.
So we conclude that if Mains is de-
funct, he is about the livhcst corpse
in Ohio. Now Mains used to say
some mighty mean things about us,
but we wiped that OF the slate long

ago. and can say we believe his
heart is good large one, and is lo-
Gated in about the right place. We
join Mr.. Mains many friends here in
wishing the Press long life and com
plete financial triumph. The Press
is on our exchange list, and If any of
Mikes old friends want TO see how
he is doing, they can borrow an oc-
casional copy of the Press.

ANOTHER REPORT.

Since the above was written, q
good deal has been said about an
other report in reference to us and
the bond election, and while upon
the subject we may as well straight
en- it up. This reports, that though
we opposed the voting of bonds in
the paper, VIC. voted 70 them at the
election. This report was we'll cal
culated to, and did injurc us consid-
erably, because it came from one of
the judges of election, who is con-
sidered reliable man. While we
believe he was honest in his epin-
ion, yet nothing could be farther
from the truth than this statement.
We interviewed" the gentleman
the other day, and find this to be
about the substance of his state
ment. The judges were anxious to
know how we voted; the Judge
who took the ticket showed it
to one or both of his associates,
and they all agreed that they
would recognize ii when they come
to count the votes, as one corner of
the paper was turned down. When
they counted the votes they agreed
as to which one out of the two hum
dred was ours. We have this to
say in reply TO the charge: We
are willing to go before any officer,
those who make the above may des-
ignate, and swear most positively.
and with as clear a conscience as we
ever took an oath in our life, that
we voted ballot with the words
printed upon it, in large, clear type,
Against the railroad bonds and
stock = that we could not be mis-
taken in this matter, as we never
saw a ballot either written or print
ed For the railroad bonds and
stock that we got 1900 tickets
printed at THE News job office at
our own expense against the rail-
road bonds and stock aud that
from this number we took our tick
ct before starting to the polls from
The News office, and carried il in our
hand to the place of holding the
election, and gave it to one OF the
judges that there was no possible
chance to be mistaken, as there was
no other kind of tickets printed at
The News office; or to get it mixed
with other tickets, because we never
saw any others. We will swear to
this at any moment if there are
those who desire to have us do so.
Now, there would be our positive
oath, and our positive knowledge of
all that was connected with our vote, |
against the impression, honest
though it may be, of the judges,
that they had guessed at our ticket. |
We are sorry, indeed, that we did |
not know the judges or others were |
anxious TO see our ballot. We
would cheerfully have shown it to
hem or voted il openly. We never
,ast a ballot that we are ashamed of.
We believe tho one we cast on this
question was right, aud had we en-
ertained the slightest idea any one
to see it we would have
AIKEN pleasure in showing it 10 them.
80 that report is disposed of to the
,est of our present ability. "Next!"

TEXAS EXCURsIoNIsTs.- mem.
bers of the State Senate and others
who went from here to Texas on an
excursion, returned OH Tuesday
night, having been gone just one
week. Those with whom we have
talked speak of the trip in the most
glowing terms. They were hospit-
ably and magniilcently entertained
by the Texans, and.espccially by the
people of Galveston. They bring
glowing descriptions of the beauty
and fertility of large portions of the
State. One of them told us he
thought the country for 100 miles
south of Sherman the handsomest
he ever saw. The excurtionists are
under obligations to two old Kan
sans, F. u. Baker and DR.. G.. a.
Cutter, of the Denison journal, for
favors in getting to Galveston.
