The compromise on the currency question
between the two wings of the Democratic
party is already beginning to show ITSELF
The resumptionists are to accept Mr.. Pen
dleton's statement that he is hard-mOney
man, and will not scrutinize his methods too
severely. In return for this the expansion
lists may permit plank to be inserted in the
platform proc'a..ning that the Democracy is
in favor of hard money, but allowing that
'there are honest differences of opinion in re-
gardto the time for resumption" and relegat-
ing the subject to the congressional districts.
The declaration will be exceedingly diapha-
nous, it is true, but quite too thick for Dem
ocratic intelligence to penetrate. Thus the
Democratic party will go into the campaign
labelled hard-money but in reality advocating
expansion. 1t is a very nice programme.
Should the infationists however succeed in
carrying Ohio they will be so elated by sue
cess that they will insist upon square de-
claration in favor of expansion.

OUR neighbor is in a deal of anxiety.

OUR neighbor is in deal OF anxiety. The
interest account of the government amount
ed to $404, 750.6SS for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1873, and was increased to $107,-
1885 the year following. He is evidently
troubled about it. 1t is aconundrum,a "a problem
that causes him restless nights. We suggest
that Mr.. Bristow, the Secretary of the Treas
ury, will explain the whole thing to him if he
will just drop him polite letter of enquiry.
We presume, however, that all of the inter-
est due during the year 1873 was not paid
within that period, and was paid during the
next yeai. We understand, too, that in the

cent. bonds for the six per cents. both were
drawing interest for short time. The
amount of interest paid the last fiscal year
(June 80, 1851 was about $103, 100000.
Here is another conundrum. Secretary Bris-
tow estimates that only $99, 100000 will be
required for that purpose during the present
fiscal year. Now, mind that is bent on
seeking conundfums might find one in that
fact. On the whole, the amount of the an
nual expenditures for interest shows that vast
sum which it cost to subdue Democratic re-
volt against the government, is being slowly
but steadily reduced during President Grants
administration, as win be seen from the fol-

LONDON, July 1lth.-A letter from
Rome says the Pope has given special
orders for complete preparations for
the reception of the new American
Cardinal.
The Elec tion in Italy.
LONDON, August 11th.-An Italian
letter states that no proclamation of
unity, no unification of political and
administrative legislation, can destroy
the traditional fact of seven States,
with seven different capitals and local
interests, and that at the present mo-
ment Italy has resolved herself into
her component parts. The news Of
the triumph of the Clerical party in
Venice, Florence, Genoa and Verona
have raised the hopes of that party.
Almost the only topic which interests
all Italy at present is precisely these
municipal elections in Venice. The
Liberals allied themselves with the
Clerical party against the Moderates
and succeeded, but in Florence and
Genoa, especially the latter city, the
Moderates allied themselves against
the Liberals and the Clerical party
obtained a still more brilliant success;
for out of 1850 votes, 3,4S2 went to the
Urn, and out of sixty-one Councillors
elected, thirty-seven were Clerical,
and but twenty-three Liberals sue
ceeded. The entire population are
anxiously awaiting news from the
Neapolitan election, although the re-
suit is certain. The Claricals will
carry the day, and for the first time
since the annexation of 1860 the Mod
crates and Clericals have openly and
avowedly joined hands and formed an
offensive and defensive alliance
against the Liberals, who have here
tofore administered the province. An
explanation of this change is that
nearly all the Communes in Italy are
over head and ears in debt. The peo-
pie who clamored for fetes and mOnu-
ments, public gardens and boulevards,
now that the bill is presented, are
appalled, at the sum total, and, blam-
ing their Mayor and Council, looked
around them for new men, and could
find none in their own respective par
ties. The population is tired of Mod
crate rule in politics, as in local affairs.
They demand the advent of the Lib
erals, and recognize the Moderates as
their common foe.
After the Insurgents.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, August 11th.-

The Political Outlook.

Never before in the history of the
Democracy in this State has its polit-
ical outlook been as bright as it is to-
day. The spark of enthusiasm struck
last Fall from the grand victories of
the party in the very homes of Radi-
calism, has been famed into bril-
liant flame that carries everything be-
fore it. Men who for years refused to
go near the polls have renewed their
allegiance and are working heart and
soul with the old party. The fact of
the matter is, that the honest masses
of this nation have become thorough
lv disgusted with the misrule of the
Radical party during the last ten years.
They recognize that party as the sa.
viour of the nation, when plunged in
terrible civil war, but they renounce
the proposition that their debt of graf
itude is so great that they must sub
NIT to villainous system of tyranny
at the hands Of the corrupt leaders,
who have captured that organization,
and are using it as an instrument Of
personal gain and advancement. 1t
seems to be the natural result of our
system of government that when a
party has long been dominant, its en-
tire power centralizes in the hands of
few individuals who prostitute the
high stations they occupy to the ac-
quirement of personal ends. The rul-
ing spirit of the age in private as well
as public life is selfishness. Such a
hold has this spirit on the Radical par
ty that it openly manifests itself in
every action of the party. The people
of this nation see it in every move that
party has made during the last few
years. They see an effort on the part
Of the Administration to perpetuate it
self in power and rising up in honest
indignation to defeat such effort. To
do so they see the necessity of begin
ming the work OF regeneration ana
publication at home. They are not
to be deceived by any Independent
movement. They say tive want no
halfway house-we will return to the
fold from which we have so long been
blindly wandering; we want to get
home to the only true principles of free
government; we want to see this ma
tion again proudly take her stand
among national powers respected
abroad, honored, proud and happy at
home, and we are satisfied that she
can only do it under Democraticr rule"
Let the heart of the patriot who has
despaired of the final success of our
government, rejoice, for verify has
this nation awakened from the dan
gerous sleep into which she has fallen.

IF we understand the policy of the
Republican managers in this campaign
tits to so use the Independents in the
present that they may capture them in
the future. It is the secret purpose of
the Republicans that there shall be no
Independent party in California dur
ing the Presidential campaign of next
year. The Independent State ticket
will be so badly beaten in September
that henceforth the party will neither
have nor claim State organization
while in counties where the Republi-
cans are now aiding the Independents
in the struggle with the Democracy,
next year the Republicans will claim
allegiance and support for the aid
now rendered. This will be all the
more readily granted for the reason
that then there will be no State or
county officers to elect and the Inde-
pendents have no National organiza-
ton. If we can read the signs the Re-
publicans are now digging the grave
in which they will nexty year bury the
Independents.

The Indians to the number of 1000
to 1900 have gathered around Corinne.
Yesterday they sent their squaws
away, leaving about 1000 warriors.
These have entered the town during
the day and demanded whiskey, in
sulting women, etc. The women were
sentaway on the morning train, and
the citizens uf Corinne have armed
and will defend themselves. The In
dians are in war paint, under the COM
mand Of John Hill, the notorious Nor
mon guide and Destroying Angel. The
Gentle people at Ogden are arming
and going down to Corinne. The
whole difficulty is supposed to grow
out of the trial of the Mountain Mead
ow murderers. Should the Indians
attak the town horrible war will be
inaugurated.
