Friday Morning, The pork-packora finished the businoss yos- tordny which brought thom togothor, and ad- journed to moet at Louisvillo on tha 9th of Bop- tomber next. m—— Bome inaccuracios havo been found in Grain- Inspoctor Harpor's sccounts by the Board of Railrosd snd Warchouso Commissionors. Thero is ono orror of £3,800 in his bookkeeping, bo- eidos othors less important, and his books havo been returned to him for correction, Polioe-Captain Lull, of the West BSide, will bo tried to-day by Acting-Mayor Bond, on oharges of a very gravo character, brought by Mr. Hes- ing. Thosubatanco of tho accusations againat him is personal immorality and official derolic- tious in accepting bribes from thioves and pros- titutes not to intorforo with their Lusincss. Postmastor Filley's little irrogularities in tho Bt. Louls Post- Officowaro tho occasion of a meot- ing of the St. Louis City and County Republican Committeo yostorday. Rosolutions introduced, consuring tho Postmaster by namo, and doeclar- ing that no such porson should bo held in offico by the Adminiatration, wererojeoted, and in their placo ono was passed hintingin tho mildest man- ner that the practico of assossmonts should be discontinuod. The press and peoplo of Wisconsin are groatly angored by tho inoreaso of rates which, it is now definitoly known, has been ordered to take offect Bept. 16 on the Milwaukeo & St. Paul and tho Chicago & Northwostorn Roads. In rotaliation, it is threatoned that the prico of railroad- liconses will bo raised from 8 to b or G per cent, s pro rala railroad law bo obtained from the Legislature at 1ta noxt sossion, and s Board of Ruilroad Commissionors cstablished, tuolast two buing measures which the Companies have op- posed strongly, ani hithorto with success. A tolerably accurate statement of the purport of the resolutions which have beon prepared by Mr. Hesing’s Committoo on Resolutions as the platform of the German-Irish party will be found in our local columns . this morn- ing, They declara that saloon-keopora should bo protected from arbitrary nrrest, and that the polico forco - should bo reorganized and Buperintendont Waahburn removed. With rogard to the Bunday laws, they purposo that liquor-gelling bo forbidden in the forenoon of Bundayns a concession to clurch-goers, and permitted in tho aftornoon as a concession to boor-drinkers. The Repul shington County, Oregon, recontly Liold a convention, in whichthoy declarod that “virtue and honesty aro the car- dinal principles at the foundation of all truo prospority ;" that tho virtue of a poople is to bo Jndged by that of their reprosontatives, and that no people, * especially no young and growing poople” like those of Oregon, can afford to loso their character for virtne. Having sssertod theso principles, thoy applied thom to the caso of United Btatos Senator Mitohell, alias Hipplo, ond hold him to bounfit to roprosent Oregonians. They further resolvod that, having no hope that o man liko Hipple would over resign, thay “ heroby wash thoir hands of such as John M, Hipplo as an alien and an enemy.” This is bot- tor in point of sontiment than in point of gram- mar, but it wili do, A now Ropublic baa recently been formed in tho Navigators’ Islands. The inhabitants of Upolly, Moanona, and Lavaii, who have been carrying on a fierce war with oach other for the Inst four years, have coneluded a poace, proclaim- od a gonuine Democratioc Republic, and called upon the foreign Consuls to holp them ostablish it upon a sound basis. Tho little Republio embraces an area of 2,060 square milos, and has 60,000 people. At present, the new Republio has many advaatagos,—~among them, an almost ontire abgenco of drunkeanoss, a very indusatrious people, no thioves, and no policomen. Asitis stoted, however, thav American influonces are spreading very rapidly throughout the islands, it will probably not bo long befora they will have Bundagy-laws to quarrel over, salary-grabs, dofal- cations, pickpockets, doiectives, clection-assens- monts, and other blossings poculiar to the great American Republie. — The Chlcago produco markets wore only mod- oratoly nctive yestorday, aud prices wore s shade easlor in somoe iustances. Moss pork was dull at $16.00@10.00 cash or seller the month, and $15.25@16.87}4 sellor October, Lard was nteady at 87.75@7.871¢ per 100 Ibs for wintor, and §7.76 for summer rendered. Meata woro quict and unchanged at 7}{@8a for shoulders, 9@9}go for short ribs; 0X@9)go for whort cloar, and 9)4@11lfc for mweet plckled hams. Highwinos wero activo and 3o bettor, closing at 93¢0, TLako froighta woro quiet but firm at 140 for corn and 150 for whoat to Buffalo, Tlour was in bettor demand, but quict and un~ changod in prices, Whoat was quite sctive, but 3{@340 lower, No. 2 closing at $1.133@1.12}¢§ for Boptomber, and $1.113¢@1.11%¢ for Octobar, Com was quiot and steady st a shade bottor prioos, No. 2 closing at 893(@40c cash or seller the month, aud 41(@4134o scllor Octobor, 'Oats were quiat, and 3 @3¢elower, No, 2 olosing at 280 cashor veller Boptember, and st 2810 sell- er Ootober, Rye waa more activo, but }{@lo lowar, No. 2 closing at 800, Darley firmer and modoratoly active, No. 2 closing at $1.37@1.28 —which {8 1@20 botter than yesterday—cash or soller Boptembor, and $1.20 soller October. Tho Tog markot was moro sctive aud firmor, closing | sales phowing an advance of 10c, Tho cattle and shoop mnrkots wero quiot and unchangod. Boyond tho facls that the Buddington party hod spent tho wintor on I<loton Island, and in Juno lnst doparted southwardin boats in hopos of meoting homoward-bound whalors, vary littlo of importanco was discovered by the Tigrosn at Capo Alsin, Commander Greor found thoro nothing but some broken instruments and & mutilated log-book, from which all roferenco to tho death of Oapt, Iall hed beon torn out. Commandor Braino, of tho Juulats, recovered #omo valuable papars at Upernavik, which Capt. Hall, apparontly with some promonition of his doath, had intrusted to tho Ingpoctor Royal of North Greenland - for safo keeping. The Inspootor was acquainted with the story of tho dissonatons on board tho Polaris, which ho attribnted to tho machinations of Dr. Bissoll, the sclentifio officer. Dr. Bissell habituslly docried Capt. Hall's fitness for the work, and ondeavored to destroy his Influsnce with the crow, in order that he might himself assumo full command. The rosolutions adopted by the Massachuseits Republioan Convention aro of the pudding-and- milk sort, aftorall. Tho condomnation of the galary-grab was not so pointed but that Butler could yote for i, mor was the protost againat Foderal intorferonce in Biate politics eo decisive that anybody need fecl spoclally concorned or humilisted, Thero is nothing stslwartor earnoat in the official deliveranco of the body. If the Convention had doalt & etinging blow at theknav- erlos of politics, against which tho Washburn mon had to contond, and over which thoy triumphed with dificulty and by n narrow msjorlty, they would have ‘made Butleriem an imposaibility horeafter. By moaly-mouthing the Adminiatration at Washiogton, winking at QGrant's sharoe in the ealary-grab, and disconra ing of Federal interforenco as though nobody in partionlar was to blamo for it, they have robbed themselves of the bost moral frulta of their vic- tory. Butler will reap somo advantagas from this deroliction next yoar. RMr. Gaston will porhaps roap them now. The quostion of assessing tho stook of corporations is tho main fonturo of the report mado yesterdsy to the Board of Equalization by the Sub-Committee which has rovently visited Ohicago, The Committeo insist thattho Rov- enuo law of tho Stato loaves tho Board no alter- native but to assess for taxation the value of the clpihl’ntouk of corporations in excess of the value of their tangiblo proporty. They dissent from the doctrine of the Chamber of Commerco, which holds that, as it has already paid taxes on £400,000, tho valuo of all its tangible property, no taxes should be lovied on any of the stock, which is worth $850,000. The $450,000 differonce botween tho §400,000 which is alroady nasessed and the £850,000 stock {8 an invisiblo +valuo, which tho Revenuo law did not mean to tax; if it did, the Chambor of Commorce will toat its constitutionality in the courts. To this the Committae roply that the law, which they quote, makes this ‘*invisiblo valno” taxablo, and, if the corporations seck reliof, thoy must go to the courts or to tho Legislature for it. D. T, McMullen, tho brothor and cofidential partner of Goorge W. McMullen, was & witness before tho Royal Commission at Ottaws, Can,, yestorday. Ho tostified that he had soon tho original agreoment botweon Sir Hugh Allan and his brother, and the contract signed in the fall of 1871, concorning the Canada Paciflo Railway. He had also scen letters in which Bir Hugh Allan stated how much money ho had exponded in tho schome, and how tho stock of the Com- pony was to be divided; and another announcing that the Governmont had determined to exclude tho Americaus from the Company. These proofs that Sir Hugh Allan had beon negotisting with tho Amoricans lod Bir John Macdonald to re- mind the Commission that the Governmont nc- knowledged no rosponsibility for anything Sir Hogh had done, Mr, McMullen further testified that his brothor received $20,000 from the To- ronto @lobe for the Allan corrospondonco which it published. THE PARTY OF LAW AND ORDER, The latest claim mede for the Republican party In this city is, that it is the party of Law and Order. Of all tho claims made for it in va- Tions parts of the country, this is, porhaps, the most prepostorous. Tho Republican party was established oxprossly to oppose il laws and orders rolating to elavery, and to sot at naught all tho attempts of courts and juries to enforce them. This claim of boing the Law-and-Order ‘| party Is, however, in keeping with other absurd claims set up olsowhere, In Maine aud Mas- sachusetts, it claims to Do tho party of lquor prohibition. Just ot this mo- ment, at tho West, it is claiming to bo the * Anti-Monopoly " party, while in Ponnsyl~ vanin it olaims to be the great ochampion and dofonder of the proteotive-tariff monopoly. In some States it 18 the party of woman suffrage, and in others it is opposed to womsn emffrage. In Louisiana it is tho party of Federal intor- foronce in local elections ; and in Massachusoits it denounces such interforencs ns opposed to evory principle of just government. Tho Republican party nover was, is not now, and can never be, anything more than an anti- slavory party. As an anti-slavery party it began its oxistence ; and, while slavory had s lifo, or anything was needed to rendor its sbolition com- pleto and effectual, 60 long the Ropublican party bad a common bond of wunity. Anything it attempted, or now attempts, outside the abolition of slavery, is nothing more nor loss than & business partnership,—a money making oporation, Tho attempt to build a railroad to tho Pacific ended in tho rob- bery of the CGovernmont and tho corruption of o large numnber of the leading statesmen of the TRopublican party in Congrosa and throughout the country, The attempt to doal in tho matter of internal improvement led to the aquandering of millions of acres of the public lands, corrupt troatios in the interost of Indian epeculators, aud the establishment of systom of legislativo barter in tho election of Sonators that was fitly illustrated in tho cases of Pomeroy, Pattorson, and Oaldwell. It Las touched nothing outside of the abolition of slavery that it has not dofiled, Its rovenue lawe woro o colleotion of shrods and patches, ench patch representing some pers sonal job,—from the protective duty on quinine and cod-liver oil to the Lisckmailing of Phalps, Dodge & Co. The management of tha fiuancos lias been onapar with everything clso. The Beoretary of the Troasury has constantly de- fled the laws in hia tracsactions with the syndicates, snd hay ostentatiously paraded tho not gaius of tho. Governmont In buy- ing and selling ila own protosted papor: - Bineo tho abolition of" 'nlnvc:y and tho reorgani- zntion of Govornmonts in the robol Btates, tho Tistory of the party with respoot to thoso Statos han boon ons of unmitigated fraud, robbory, aud plundor, It has turned loose among people of thoso Btatos logions of nicrcunnrlus, who havo outraged overy prineiple of honosty, ovory rem- nant of officlal responsibility and intogiity., To orowh tho rocord of it achiovomonts, outside o tha abolition of slavery, ia the salary-grab law of the last wession, and tho sironuons effort of tho Administration to make the author of that law Qovornor of Masenchusetts agninst tho ro- monstranco of overy decont inhabitant of tho Btate, At Iast it sets up the olaim in tho City of Chi- engo that it is tho party of Law and Ordor. It chooses to place itsolf distinotly ne n Law-and- Order party againat Mr. Hosing and his follow- ors, Who, pray, aro Mr. Hosing snd his disor- dorly followers ? Have thoy ovor hiad any polit- Ical atanding, ropute, or distinction in Chioago, oxcopt as mombors and loaders of the Republican party ? Has not Mr. Hosing beon tho hoad-contro of tho party in Chicago theso sixtoon yonrs ? ‘When did the Ropublican party onforco tho Bun- dey ordinancos? Whon did it close the sa- loons by day or by night, on Bunday or weok dny 7 Whon did {t ever refuso to the followers of Heeing anything thoy wanted ?- Did it not goont of itswayto tako at tho bidding of tho enloona tho Rohms, Klokkos, Hoalngs, Balomons, Kauff- wmans, ond others, and make thom Collectors of Tedoral taxes, Sherifls, Troasurors, Polloo Com- missionors, Juaticos, and officors of all other grados, high aud low? Has not tho Republican party and Hesing been so identified in Ohicago thatno man could distinguishbetweon thom, aud Das not Hesing been its infalliblo oracle, not only controlling and diotating what should bo law, but algo how it should bo oxocuted ? Now, ab this lato day, it dote up the claim that it is the true party of Law and Order. This, we submit, in rather cheooky, Tho Ropublican party may possibly be the anti-monopoly party in Cali- fornis, and the farmera' party in Iowa, and the anti-railroad party in Illinois, and tho protective- tarift party in Pennsylvania, and the frec-trado party in Minnesota, and the temperanco party in Masgachusotts, and tho labor-roform party and tho woman-suffrage party elsowhero, but it is not and cannot bo the Law-and-Ordor party in Chicago. THE NATIONAL FINANCES, The business of the National Government for the fiscal yoar onding July 1, 1873, does not ox- hibit any such superior management as to call for special commendation. Thore is a failing off in thoe rovenuo, which, of itself, was proper, but 1t haa not been accompanied by a corro- sponding decreaso of exponditure. While the rovenuo has doclined $40,000,000, the oxpendi~ turos have incroased over $17,000,000, Tha intor- oat on the debt was 818,000,000 loss ih 1878 than in 1872, but tho wholo sum thus saved, with sov- oral other millions, was squandered in inoreasod oxpenditures, including $2,000,000 for back-pay and increased ealarics.

The ropenl of cortain duties on imports, and especially of thoso on tea and coffeo, has been followed by roduction of $28,000,000 of revenuo from that sourco, but f:ynlnrgo increase of the revenne collected from tho articloa still taxed, It will bo seen that tho War Dopartment cost $11,000,- 000 moro than in 1872, and oven the navy spont over 2,000,000 more than in 1873, Ovor 18,000,000 wore consumed in the increnssd ox- ponditures of Congress and tho Civil Bervico. The progress of taxation ia shown in tho ro- coipts of the Governmont sinco tha War bogun, Tor tho year ending July1, 1862, the entire rove- nue was from customs, and only amounted to £49,000,000. The noxt yoar produced $60,000,000 from ocustoms and $87,5600,000 from intornal rovenuo, being the first collected under the lat~ ter systom. Tho receipts from both sources for subsequont yoars have been as follows : Year ending From Trom inter- June 30, eustoma. nal revenue, +$102,316,163 $100, 741,134 84,026,200 200,464,415 179,040,051 00,206,813 110,417,810 260,027,697 104,464,500 . 101,087,669 168,350,460 184,899,750 143,008,153 180,042,178 118720,314 The dobt reached its highost point on June 80, 1866, whon it stood $3,773,236,174, At the closo of Johuson's Administration, in 1809, it stood $2,588,452,214,—n roduction in the threo yoars of §184,788,960. On July 1, 1878, it stood $2,294,482,098,—n reduction during the four yosrs sinco 1809 of $868,000,22L. In tho meantimo the annual charge for intorest hsa fallon from $180,000,000 to about $100,000,000. CHARITY BEGINNING AT HOME, Tho Springfield Journal holds up *‘honest little Monard " Couniy a8 an oxample for Chi- cago in the matter of self-nusessment for taxn~ tion, " The attentlon of Chicago ia also called to tho honeaty of LaSalle and Macon Counties in the same particular, Lot us eeo how far thia honesty is ontitled to tho credit which is thus lavishly beatowod on it. To make the contrast ith ook County mora complete, wo includo a number of othor countios, in ordor tojmake tholr sggregate assessment oqual to that of this county: Asseasment 1873 R, R, Debt 13,000, 401,000 10,000,000 122,000 40,000,000 i1 18,000,000 5,000,000 88.000,000 $144,000,000 $1,765,000 Qook County Les roturned an nescasmont equaling theso six countios, each of whom is {ust as honestas “littlo Menard,” When tho Auditor comea to apportion the Btate tax upon all theso countlos, assuming tho ratoe to be 1 per ocant, ho will thus stato the casos i Bix honest countics, 1per cent on $40,000,000 tirveneeneers o § 400,000 Diskonout Giok 1 "por' cent on §idd,- ,000.. +ess 1,440,000 Total revenus from soven connf 1,840,000 . Ho will thon state anathor account of tha pro- ocods of 1por cont fax levied for Slato pur- posea on $104,000,000 (differonco in the assonsod valuen of 1808 and 1878 of tho taxablo proporly in tho six * Lionont" countles), bolng 81,040,000, which sum Lo will set apart to pay.tho intorost and principal of tho local railrond dobt of tho sovoral countlos. * Dighonoat" Cook County will pay into tho Stata Trensury a million and n half of dollars, whilo tho six *Lonost " cojntics, fucluding little Bonard snd big Bangamon, will poy only four hundrod thousand dollars on procluoly tho ramo aggrogate value of proporty, - Last yoar thoso six- honest countios had to raige, by epocinl taxation, in sddition to their proper ‘quota of Biato tax, the sum of $170,500, to pay tho intorest alone on their rail- rond debt. Thoy now proposo to avoid this spocial tax by having the tax lovied for Btato purposcs diveried from the Treasury and ap- plied to both prinolpal and interost of their rail- road-ald dobt, Thoy aro anxious to have thong- grogato asacasmont rajsed to any smount, bo- causa all Btato taxos colloctod on tho increaso of valuatlon ovor that of 1808 is doposited to thelr crodit, to be applied exclusively to tho pay- mont of thoir local railroad-aid dobt. Tho houn- oty of transforring to Cook and forty-fourother counties tho burdon of supporting tho Stata QGovernmont, or, which s tho same thing, of paying the principal and interest of the thizteon miliions of dollars of thia: railrond-ald debt, is evidently apparont in littlo Monard, and also at 8pringfield, but is not fully approciated up here, DUCHESSES AT AUCTION, Tho results of tho ealo of short-horned oattle, which took placo at Utles, N. Y., on Wednosday last, aro caloulated to give tho wholo cow fami- 1y, not excopting the long, lank, crooked-horn, hatohot-baoked Toxas *“crittors,” & bettor opin- fon of thomsolyes, Thero is probably not an old brindlo 00w in the country, however humble her shed, or squalid hor surroundings, or long hor horns, who will not put on airs whon sho hoars of it, and kick over s fow pails of milk, or toss the milkmaid up a fow foot, just bocause she has no other available method of oxpressing hor self-conceit. It is ovidently & good timo for cows whon the Elghth Duchess of Goneva brings $40,600 at an suction salol And by tho samo token, & poor timo for the masculino membors of tho family when the bost of tho herd only brings $12,000, which furthermore suggesta that in one family of mammals, at losst, the fomalo mox is threo timos bottor than the malo. There ia no good roason now why the cow should not olovate hor horn above all other animals, man included. ‘When Robort Bonnor paid 30,000 for Doxter, it was considorod that tho top had boen reached, but now comes tho Duchess of Gonova, who can't run races, and is not avallable for botting purposes, and wouldn't look woll in harnoss, and bringa $10,600 more than Dextor. Even lons, ostrichos, rhinocoroses, hippopotas muses, kangaroos, bosa constrictors, and othor such *amall door," sfuk into insignificance whon compared, in monoy value, with Her Sereno High- noss the Eighth Duchess of Geneva. Tho dis- tanco betwoon this short-horned lsdy and man, in value, is not complimontary to tho Iatter, In the palmy days of slavery, a firat-class nogro Dlackamith would only fotch about $1,600, while $32,000 wss o high prico for a comely octoroon. The averago of human boings not in o condition of slavery can hardly bo said to have any market value. ‘There aro very fow of thom who would bring at auction moro than a moroly nomi- nal price. Most of thom, indoed, would prove unsalable, It is possible they might be made marketablo by being lumped into alot with old hats, hoops-skirts, socond-hand books, and clothing. But even then it would bo difficnlt to fix any value to thom. Wo doubt if all the Duohesges extant, put up ina hoap, with thoir podigreos thrown in, would approximate in value to the prico paid for the Eighth Duchoss ot Genova, daughtor of Duke Somebody or Othor, ond Duchesa Thingumbob, Lady of all the Clovera and Timothys, august Purveyor of But- ter aud Chaose, Quaen of the Dairy, a Duchosa without dinmonds, snd mistross of all sho survoys in & barnysrd. The Eighth Duchess was not slone, moreover, in this eale. Thoro were nino other Duchesses suctionod off, and thoy brought 319,250, an av- erago of $21,700 each, which is more than all the Europoan royal families aro worth, Buch facts and figures s those mako tho wholo tribo of bipedal Duchessos, with all their fuss and foathors, their gorgoous attire and thoir crowds of sttondants, soem quito insig- nificant, It would bo unfair to omit glving somo crodit to tho quadrupedsl gontlemon and babies who wore auctioned oft on tho samo oc- casion, Compare, for instance, tho Sooond Duko of Oneids, who was sold for $12,000, with tho Iate Duko of Brunswick, who died tho other day,—a moan, lizy, miserly, good-for-nothing old dotard, who nover did o decent sotion in his life, excopt by mistake, It 1s not probable that tho Duko of Brunswick would have brought two conts at auction. In fact, thero aro any quantity of men who would at any time soll thomaolvos out for two conts, as for inetance Ben Butlor after the Worcestor Convention. Whoress o calf less than one year old brought $15,800 at the Utica auction, Wo hiave been glancing at the morale of this esle.

Tho amount of money fnvolved m the hitigation is 840,000,600, or ronl ostato valuod at that amount, which is much groater than the valuo of tho property to which Arthur Orton origi- nally claimed to b hoir, and which has brought upon him tho preseut trial for porjury and forgory. Tho namo of the American claimant i Jamen Turnbull, aad ko has brought sult in tho Ponn- sylvania conrta for the recovery of 4,000 ncros of coal lands of or near Aauch Chnnk, valued at $40,000,000. His father dled forty yoars ago in o hospital aftor a lifo of dissipation, during which, it i statod, theso lands passed into othor handa by tax purobaso. At the ago of 10, the son loft Philadelphisn on a mea voy- sge and was wrocked. Ho was picked up mnoar the Island of Bt. Thomas, and aftor hisrocovory from the offects of ox- posuro he wont to Contral Amorica and worked on tho Tethmus of Panama, until the California gold storics attractod him to that rogion, He mado soveral fortuncs in California, which he lost at the gaming-table, aud, bocoming tired of this kind of life, wont to Moxico and thenco to Toxas, whoro his occontricities in tha cattle- business croatod a popular projudico sgainsthim, Ho thon started again for Moxico, and on the woy to Mazatlan narrowly esoaped death "Ly the oxplosion of tho stosmer ho was on. During hia short stay at Mazatlan, he was robbod by » gang of Moxicans and loft for dead, with twolvo daggor-wounds in his body. Recovering from those, he went to the Peru silvor mines, and bought a picco of land eaid to have silver deposita, Failing to find thom, he sold out to suothor party, who found tho silver almost im- mediatoly. Ilo then wont to Chili and worked undor Melggs, the railroad contractor, and wasina fair way to sccumulato a handeomo fortuno, when bhis roving, rockless dis- poeition Induced him to go to Brazil, and try to got the suporintendency of a diamond mine. Failing in this, he wandoroed through South Amorica for soveral yoars, and finally turned up in Moxico again. Meanwhilo, the divorcod wifa of his father be- came convinced that tho property in question rightfully belonged to hor son, and she there- foro put the mattor in the Landuof a lawyer, who commenced goarching for the wan- doror. Lotters tworo written in overy direction, and advertisomonts insorted in tho journals of all countries, but it was of no avail. Ono day, however, in 1871, o lettor from Jameos Turnbull, dated in Mexico, was received by the motler, and an agent was sent to Moxico to confor with him, the rosult of which was that ho dotormined to relurn to Philadelphia, To cap tho climax of his eventful lifo, tho staamer bringing him to Philadolphis was capaized, snd ho onco moro narrowly escaped doath. Upon his arrival in this country, arrangements woro at onco made for commence ing tho suit, and eminent lawyers have boen on- gaged on both sides. If tho Amorican claimant’s roving propensitics do not induco him to wandor off again befora the oago comes to o closo, & long and interosting trial may bo oxpected, unless tho Ponnsylvania claimant, like the recont Orogon claimant should turn cut to be an imposto; ' THE RESOURCES OF FRANCE, Threo years ago, on tho 4th of Septembor, tho Fronch army and the French Emperor surron- dored ot Bedan, The war continued, hovwaver, until March, 1871, when Paris espitulated and articles of peace were signed. The Fronch Gov- ernment was for a time delayed in its work of reorganizing the national industry by the Com- muniat riots, but tho national spirit and the na- tional restivences undor the German ocenpation of French soil ia displayod in the fact that, on the 7th of Beptembor, 1873, Franco paid to Gor- many the last cont of tho cash indemnity of fivo milliards of fraucs, or ono thousand millions of dollars, gold. Tho war loft Franco badly hurt, Firet, sho was despoiled of two largo and productive provinces; and, socondly, tho war bad been fought over a large torritory which, in addition to the censation of production caused by tho presonco of hostile armics, was stripped of overything in tho way of proporty, tho land bolog loft perfoctly bare, the paople without habitations, withont food, sud without implo- monts and sced. Tho agricultural labor of the country had beon paralyzed. The effects of the war were hardly less demoraliziug with rospeot to all othier industrics, Manufactures, except those of war material, had been suspended, Workmen, even after peace had been restored, hud been lod away by Communist theories, and it was difficult to restore them to tho old and ac- customed lifo of labor. Under these circum- atancos, tho appenl by the Governmont for loan to meob the flrat instellments of tho indemunity was mado, and all Franco ro- sponded. Four times the amount askod for waa offorod, and from thet day down to the last peyment thore has boon no want of means to hasten the Gorman ovacuation, The productive industry of tho country has rovived, and two yoora and a balf have sufliced to soo tho national Induatrivs all xonewed and flourishing under improved conditions.
