CnIRrskI CoNuNa.-The ohiriski Troupe,
which made such favorable impressions upon
our people one and two years ago, is again
coming to Charlestown, and will open at
Washington HAIL. this (Monday) evening.
The Lynchburg Republican says of 'Chiriski:
''The crowd at Holcombe Hall was immense
last night, and all seemed well pleased with
the entertainment. The feats of ventrilo-
quism, mesmerism, and jugglery are among
the best ever exhibited here, and Chiriski's
wire>walking, aud feat on the slack wire, are
superior to anything yet witnessed by our
people. There is grace and refinement
about this entertainment in striking contrast
with the cheap shows which advertise much
and perform little" And more attractive
than all are the useful and costly presents
given out each evening, which form most
interesting finale to each entertainment. See
advertisement and small bills.

FRANcE-.THE WONDER OF THE
WoRLD.-Sho has paid the indemnity
to Prussia, according to the treaty of
peace with that kingdom. That indem-
nifty was $1,000. 100000. She paid the
interest uponit while it was unpaid-say
sl0O. 100000. She supported an army
Of $4,000 Prussians which occupied
France until The indemnity was paid
say $3.50, 600, 900 more-in all, $780,
0OO, 900. The end of the war found
france dcsolated. and in less than three
years she has paid this enormous sum,
and not Prussian soldier treads her
soil. It must be remembered, further
more, that this wonderful nation. be-
sides meeting and extinguishing this
enormous burthen, has paid the ex.
penses OF its own government, including
the war with the Communes, has rebuilt
houses, restored agriculture. and has re.
established and newly armed peuce es-
tablishment Of great power. This e1-
ample OF France, under all her trials. is
one the world may emulate. No nation
ever gave more admirable proof o! its
consistency and force. Defeated by
sroes negligence and incompetency, the
French nation has risen, indeed, like the
fablcd PL@nix, from it's ashes, and
stands now the admiration the world.

Pol,ticaI Changes.

The leaven which produced such
strong political effect in the States OF
the North west. last fall, is now working
similar renults in the East. We have
reported sweeping Democratic victory
in Connecticut. Ingersoll (Democrat)
is elected by handsome plurality vote
over Harrison, (Rcpublican,) and by a
strong majority vote over both compe-
titors-Smith, who ran as prohib;tionist,
receiving over 1000 votes. The House
is heavily Democratic, and the Senate
stands eighteen Democrats and Eve
Republicans. This settles the question
of choice of United States Senator. In
Dayton and Cleveland, Ohio, the Demo.
orats elect Mayor nnd city ticket.
The election in Cincinnati has gone
strongly for the Democrats, there being
1orty-tour Democrats 10 thirty auo Re
publicans on Joint ballot. It is evident
that important political changes are
taking place. The Republican party is
disintegrating. It has seen its best or
hicAC prosperous AnJ o. AoSluB uCCOu-
plished its work, such as it was, and the
results being now fairly before tho conn-
try, it fails 10 receive the need of popu-
lar approval, or the welcoming sound of
"well done" No political party in this
country has ever before brought in tho
train of its success SO many frauds, SO
much corruption, such an army of nero
jobbers, such q horde of dishonest
placemen. Whatever usefulness or
honor this party over could lay claim to.
it is now considered to have forfeited or
lost. New combinations are taking
place, and new organization, whatever
it's name, embodying the conntry's pro-
test against misrule. corruption and the
lowering of the national character in
thousand ways, will wrest the sceptre
from hands now too weak and pro1iYate
to hold it any longer with credit.

II We had philosopher square in IL q
flesh, as We have him so admirably
drawn in the pages OF Fielding, he
would hugely rejoice over the ''fitness
OF things," which has sent L. Cass Car
penter, B. T. Whittemore, Y. J. P.
Ovens. etc., as representatives of the
rotten Government of South Carolinn,
to answer the complaint Of the tax-pay-
ers in Washington. And by an instinct
which is unerring, they have chosen as
spokesman the most suitable man to
misrepresent the truth of affairs here,
! and the most unblushing in tho use of
. ne is unworthy 10 un;oose. 10 showed
in his argument before President Grant,
that the greater part of the grievances
complained OF were imaginary. The
Conservative people Of South Carolina
thought that they knew aud had expert
,enced the evils OF misgovernment, ex-
lscessive taxes, and myriad abuses and
ontrages. But Il. @. @. coolly informs
all whom it may concern, that these are
mere dreams and uneubstantial fictions.
Mr.. Pike is mistaken, and everybody
else is mistaken. L. @. O. has been in
position to find out things. He and his
committee have felt no troubles. He
and they are free from oppression. They
get along swimmingly. Why should the
people complain? Let them hasten to
recover from suoh delnsions. We are
further informed of the effort of L. @.
O., that he s'spoke earnestly and feel.
ingly in defence OF the principles of free
government We are reminded OF the
,spathetio lament Of Madame Roland over
the crimes that are perpetrated in the
name Of liberty, or of the Devil quoting
Scripture. And President Grant, it is
telegraphed, thought Carpenter's rehash

not oply for spelling the Presidents

since his public political speeches dur
ing the last Presidential canvass. How
this may be, and whatever else 'leroga-

An Appointment to be Approved. :.


It is announced that Governor Moses
has appointed Judge Glover Treasurer
of Orangeburg County. in place of Hum
bert, removed. Humbert was lately
arrested as defaulter in large amount,
and is said to have had no claims in his
character, knowledge or experience for
80 important post. It is not to be
wondered at when such persons are
placed in responsible positions, that
they follow their instincts, and make
them tributary to their own emolument
: in the most direct way they can. Public
money in the hands of such people is
apt to stick. This is plain enough to all
: who can think, or one capable OF judging
IN the most obvious matters. Had the
policy OF appointing reputable persons
Aeen observed, We should not have to
complain over defalcations and frauds
among the County Treasurers to the
amount OF 100000. The Office would
i. not have been perverted to wicked pri-
vate and political uses. The power of
appointment to it in the hands of the
Governor has converted it, in many in
stances, into an active political machine.
The nomination of such man as Judge
Glover indicates that a change has come
over the spirit Of the Governor. He
has gone to the utmost extreme in the
wrong direction. The signs OF the
times admonish him that it is now ne
cessary to tack. Whatever his motives,
the appointment is one of the bes! the.
could be made. Judge Glover has filed
various pnNic stations with good ability
and iue discretion. He wore the Judi
cial ermine with distinction, and when
he resigned it, it was as pure and un.
sullied as when he donred it. His pri
vate character is as irreproachable as bis
public services have been useful and
honorable. The position now offered
him is below Judge Glover, bnt we trust
that he will accept it. It would be mat
ter Of congratulation if the example
should extend to all the Counties in the
State. 1t would be an earnest Of i
change that So could respect. and frou
which we mig It hope excellent results
