OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION. - A
glance at the financial condition of for
eign nations has the effect OF making an
American less discontented with that of
his own country. The depreciation of
natinral bonds of European countries is
placed by trustworthy authority at $2,-
100000. 900, and the holders OF these
worthless bonds are chiefly Engishmen.
In the list of deiaultng nations may be
found Spain, Turkey, Mexico, Greece,
Venezuela, Paraguay. Bolivia, Costa,
Rica, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay, Hondur-
as, La Horia and San Domingos, whose
di>honored bonds foot up to $4,000, 900
900. Their debts were contracted al
most without exception between 1851 and
1873. Spain leads the list to the amount
of about 81 900, 900 600; Turkey comes
in for over $4,000, 900 900; Mexico for
si75. 900, 900; Egypt, with debt of S432,
600, 200, and taxable population but lit
tic larger than that of New York is pow
ertv stricken, and hopeless in view OF the
enormous task of paying its obligations.
The extravagant system upon which the
various nations of the earth have for
years conducted their financial affairs
have found fitting termination in bank
ruptcy, commercial disaster and general
weakening of public credit. The "pan.
ic" of 1873 is likely to long remain un-
paralleled for its extent, severity and the
striking lessons it enforces. Troy Times

For SENATOR.-Some Of our Demo.
cratic exchanges are piping up for Gov
ernor Irwin as United States Senator.
We at one time had high regard for
Governor Irwin, but his endorsement Of
Growers Oregon swindle should let him
out. His declaration that, had opportu-
nifty offered he would have set aside the
will of the people OF California as Grov-
or attempted to set aside the will Of the
people of Oregon, stamps Irwin as one to
whom it would he dangerous in the ex
treme to commit pubic trust. Added
to this what has become of the virtuous
burst OF Democratic Indignation which
went forth when Mr.. Booth was elected
Senator, ut the idea of using the Office OF
Governor rs stepping stone TO the UnI
ted States Senate ? We heard great deal
then, about the improperly of using one
Office rs the means of advancement to
another, and it strikes us we ought to
hear little now. We opposed the elec
tion of Mr. Booth on those grounds, and
the reasons which held good ut that
time should have equal force now.

The CHIco INCENDIARIEs.- The trial
of the incendiaries from Chico has been
progressing before tie County Court Mt
Oroville and WAS attended by large
crowds of people. Great anxiety was felt
lest there should be a disagreement of
the jury in the first case, that OF the Peo-
Pile VS.. II. T. Jones, and the farmers of
Butte county, who telt that the only pro-
lection to their grain crops lay in the con-
viction of the incendiaries, were we'll rep
resented at the Court House. A convic-
ton, however. was had, and it was fol-
lowed by plea df guilty upon the part
OF two of the other prisoners when their
cases, in turn were called for trial. The
excitement attendant upon the trial was
increased by the fact that there was an
other case of incendiaiism in the neigh
borhood of Chico, but it was soon ascer-
tained that this WAS probably due to pri
vate causes and had nothing to do with
the Chinese question in any manner what
ever,

A BANKEUrT CiTY.-The recent suit

possession Of the property in dispute, and
enjoyed its revenues, for nearly half II

The Senate of New jersey does moi
seem to endorse the policy pursued by
President Hayes, which, however, it ap-
pears is acceptable 10 the Governor. Oul
iden of this is simply that the Senate is n

anothcr report, arIaigning Ex Surveyor
General Bost for otiicial deiinquencles
Ii Bost had not been one of tho Reform.
srs" We should have been less surprised, g,
but it seems that Notwithstanding his ad-
hesiun to the great "reform" party, he
got away with S43, ,S60,6 of the States
tnoney. Having succeeded so well in the
four years pickings, it is not be wonder
I'D Vt that the gentleman was desirous of
another term. As the fee book of the
Surveyor Gencal's Office mysteriou>ly
disappeared about the time of Mr.. Bost's s
exit, it is going to be as hard matter To
fsIten the delinquency upon him rs it was
upon his successor, Gardner. We hope
the effort will be made, however.

Electors. the Assembly ofthat State hav-
ing this week passed u bill providing for
the election OF two electors ut large on

the bill will pass tho Senate, and that
