A BAD Misunderstanding 10

the past six months were 564, with
sl7, III ,010 liabilities, against 1888 fail
ures and IS, 26s 1880 liabilities for the
same months Of last year. The in.
crease may be partly accounted for on
account of the repeal of the bankrupt
law, and partly because Of the failure
OF the party in power to meet the de.
mands of the times. A commencement
of the return to prosperity cannot taxa

MUST GIVE BAIL.-We notice by
our exchanges that the last Legislature
passed n law 10 the effect that-Coun,
ty Commissioners will henceforth DO
required before entering upon the off,
cial duties to give a bond with sureties
to be approved by the Court OF Quarter
Sessions of the same county, or by one
of the judges thereof, and in such pen.
atty as the said Court shall deem sutfi-
Gent, but not less than two thousand
dollars each, for the faithful discharge
of all duties enioined upon them by
law, and for the faithful and legal up.
preparation Of all county and other
moneys which the said Commissioners
have any authority to draw ont ofthe
county treasury, upon check or orders
given by them, or over which they
have control the said bonds to be taxi
en- in the name Of the Commonwealth
for the use Of the county, and shall be
acknowledged before the Recorder Of
Deeds of the same county and recorded
in the office at the cost of the county.
The official crookcdness practiced by
a number of Commissioners, in other
counties, the past ten years has
brought the passage of this law, so as
to enable the county to bag something
after conviction. As the law now
stands a Commissioner can be ever so
crooked and a little bit OF failing is
about all that can be done, if he is found
guilty. Hereafter the tax payers can
go for his snreties.

STILL LEARNfEG.-Fred Grant says,
"Pa has learned Il good deal since he
has been abroad" II Fred is actually
telling the truth, all we have to say is,
that it is awfully hard luck Tor the
country that he did not go abroad be.
lore he began his first term of Office.
But still the American people will no
doubt be rejolced to hear that he is
learning something. They were afraid
that he has been wasting time, loafng
around with those ignorant nnscrupu.
lous kings and mobiles over there. So
far as Cesarism is concerned they could
not teach him anything. As a militia
ry autocrat he can beat any Of them

Sea. That power already commanded
Gibraltar, the entrance TO that great
inland Sea, and the Island Of Malta,
of the coast of Italy, and about mid
way between Gibraltar and the mouth
OF the river Nile, foot hold enough for
any M of the European powers to
hold. But England comes out Of the
Russian Turkish war by having the
most important island in the Meditcr-
yapean added. t. her. This island is
situated in the eastern end OF the sea
Indicated, and but a short distance
from the coast of Asia Minor. 1t will,
IN II military sense, command the
month of tho Nile, and all Egypt and
Palestine, and will be made a great
military station on the direct highway
from London and Liverpool TO the
East India possessions. England's
victory is complete. She commands
the Mediterranean absolutely, and
Russia dare not navigate the Black
Sea.
We predict that within thirty years,
Turkey in Europe will DO divided
between Austria, Germany, France
and Italy, while England will foreclose
her mortgages on the Turks, and take
Turkey in Asia, rs her portion of the
plumber belonging to the sick Turk.
Thus, by the substitution of good gov
eminent, the valleys of the E~uphrates
and the Ganges will again become
civilized and populated equal to former
times. Then the tide OF emigration
will be eastward instead OF westward.

THAT CRIMINAL MoNuMEsT.--Tbe
editor OF tho Philadelphia Ledger, pass.
cd through Altoona the other day and
noticing the fragments of last Summers
riots, says:
"on the penusylvania railroad. near Altoona,
there isa long line Of ghasdy looking locomotives,
the pain cd wrecks Of engines damaged, but not
completely destroyed, daring the riots Of last
Summer. Standing there In full view Of the num-
erous employees OF tho company who pass and re-
pass, or live In Altoona, they should serve as
warnings Of last years midsummer folly, when
working men gave oilers and thieves an opportu.
nifty to rob and riot"
II is one of the most sickning sights
that an honest man can look upon, and
speaks louder than the ~utterings of a
score of orators, OF the subject. The
wrecks serve as d monument erected
to the criminal folly of fends in hu.
man form.
