Missonri's financial diflicultios continue to grow worso as fresh facts are brought out concerning the shocking mismanagoment of QGates, tho Domocratic Slate Trensurer. What with the money sunk in broken banka nud represented by worthless securitios, tha shortago isnow known to be so great as to threaten the serious embarrassniont of the Btato exchequer and the injury of the State credit, Cov. PueLrs scems loth to confess tho full extent of the dilemina by conventng tho Legislature in extra session, but there is apparently no other way out of it. The eapiure of Serajevo, the Capital, by the Austrisns s an imporlant step in the subjugation of Bosnia, for that is what the proposed occupation now menns. The re- joicing of the Obristians at the entry of the troops shows also very conolusively that the opposition to the Austrinns comes from Mugsulmans,—both the old Tarks and rene- gado Cliristians, who to save their proporty becaino Mussulmans. "As the insurrection is undoubtedly fominted by the Porte, which slubboruly interpoges all kinds of obstacles in the way of an agreement, it is evidont that Austrin will make short work of tho insur- reetion by crushing, it out with a superior force, and fl)Fn adininister the province with- out much referonce to Turko, Tho truo inwardness of the ** hot-whisky " thoory advanced by Expert Gauger Buiss, and adoptoed by tho Commissioner of Inter- unl Revenue, as an explanation of Cincin. nuti's ability to underscll Chicago distillers, is forcibly sot forth in another column this moraing, Itis domonstrated with sufficlont clearness to pouctrate any percoption nat wuddled by spirits at a high tomperature thut in order to ke this * hot whisky " hold water it is necessary to mako ont the Cineinnuti rectifiers to be bonighted idiots, candidates for tho labors of a Cemmission of Lunncy aml the services of a Cousorvator of the estates of foeble-minded persone.

Maj.

Inorder to wake ont that this is not the cnso, this impertinent littho shystor coucern powmts out .4 stut- uta (R 8, 8411) which says that, whenever the outstanding circulation of any National Bank shall bo reduced to 5 per ceut of the declered capital, said circulution shall bo freo from taxation, sud it a-ks us fo look at tho Comptroller's compilation of the Nutjouul-Bank act, published iu pamphlet form. Now, if {his ignoramus will look at the sumo pampblet (Page 56, Bee, 4), he will tind, in &n amendment to the National-Bauk uet, passed in Juue, 1874, a provision that forbids any Nutionul Buuk to reduco the swount of bunds on deposit for circulation Lelow 230,000, which is the cecurity for £145,00) of circulating notes, ‘Tho nest time Lis rursl rooster wants {o securs sowe notice by correcting ‘ue Twsusg, he should get sucbody 1o inform biw of the facts before Lie plunges iuto such deep water, "The uuthositivs ot Washington, not wish- ing to bewisundenstood by our weighbors ou Who fur Wide of the lio Groude, Lave luid down cor rules which alall govern thoaetiadd TUolict ol manders on dnty in that quartor. Firstly, it i to bo understood by all whom it may concern, that cattle:thjoves who trespass mpon Texas soil will be, when detected, pursned into Mexican torritory if neod be, their booty seized, and the raiders punished, If, during any of these incursions by our troops, the soldiers enconnter any body of Mexican regular troops, it will ba their daty to ignore them if oxpediont, and devote their whole atten- tion to tho main object in viaw,—tha capture of the raiding Greasors. If, however, the Moxican troops deliberately attack those of the United Stntes, tha latter aro inatructed to repel the attack to tho best of their nbility. As @ part of this programme tho Government of President Diaz ia es- pecially informed that the United States, in Avy necessary invasion of Mexican territory, must not be credited with any desire or in. tention to interrupt the friendly rolations now cxisting betwoen the iwo countries, but wishos it to be plainly understood that only the nrgent nocossily imposed upon it by the negleot of the Moxican authorities to properly police tho river border istaken into account in justification of any appsront violation of Mexican territory. Workingman Burier, of Massachusoetts, hias 8 horny-handed record which some of his admiring friends aro searching out for tho bonefit of the slaves of capital. They have just raked up nn instance in which Burrza was ground down by a combination of bloated monopolists nnd forced to work at starvation wagea. ‘The oppressors in this case wore {ho sallors of the United $tatos Navy who assisted at the capture of New Orleans. These lechorous bondholders, taking advantage of Butrer's necessities, compelled bim to rop- resent their claim for pHze-money before tho Court in Washington, and, when the caso had been ndjudicated and the sailors awarded their claim, the most that thess marine mill- ionaires would allow their poverty-stricken lawyer wns $142,060! This pittance they paid out of their own plethoric pockets in A gradging, mean spirit, which must have wounded the sonsibilities of the overworked attorney, who bad put in ns many ns ten or fifteen days of Inbor in their behalf, Thero ore thoso who are ko bnao as to ossert that $5,000 would have been n largo feo for the service porformed, bnt of course the workingmen of Massachu- setts will tnke this for what it i worth, knowing how dnngerous it would beto the cause of labor to tolerate a cheap Chineso Inwyer who would work for such wages. Only $143,060 for assisling these sailors to seconre what belonged to them! The widows nnd orphans of Workingman Burien's former cmnployers ought to be ashamed of themselves, e —— ‘WHAT 18 BUTLER'S REMEDY1 Wo lave nlrendy pointed out some of the sins committed againat political sconomy by Bey Bureer in his Now York spoech to the assembled printers on a Communist and flut unewspaper. DBut his assertions wero as much opposed to fact as to principle, One instance was 1 the statemont that, within comparatively few years, labor-saving ma- chinery has increasod production tenfold. 8o gonoral n sintement is uiterly untrust. worthy, and henco of no value whatover id o discusslon, It wmight be true in some line of iudustry. Whorover it has been true, tho seaving is in favor of tho consum. ors, of whom the laboring classes are the gront mnas; for not only is the product clieapencd which the workingman consuines, but, on the other hand, he produces more with which to pay for his consumption, In n vast number of cascs, however, thore has been nowuch extra incrense inthe amonnt of production as DuTixa sought to impress upon his hearers, ITo was Lalking to printers, Whereln lind the capacity of the printer in sotting type beon increased within the Insf fow yeors, or fow hundrod, by any labor- saving maclinery? Can a printer set ten- 161d wore typo now than he conld at any time herotoforo? Does not Liu ecapacity depend now, 88§t ever did, upon Lis own kill, experience, industry, and rapid workwanstip? Borien wade this brond sud exaggerated wtatement with a solflsh purpose, as usual; ho desired to persunde tho discontonted workingmen to abandon thelr theory about the specinl injury of luborsaving wachinery, becauso bo, as a manufacturor, has machinery which thoy might attack and destroy if thoy carried thuir theory out in practice, o ottain his selllsh end ke took the op. posite vitrome, and told the lnboring men (1) that the Jaborsiving miachinery hed recently increased. production tonfold; and (2) that this circumstanco abould rednco thefr time of labor from ten hours te ‘Lone Lour aday,” Now, Lowis ButLes goiug to ap- ply the romedy in this oase? Ho will not oct individaally, He will not veduce tho timoof Tabor in his mills from tou hours to ono hour, nor will ba cven agree to pay ten bours’ wages for eight hours' work, Ifis vuighbors - will not do {t. Does ho proposo that it shall be brought about by statute? A Mussachusetts Inw requirlng employers to give ton hours' wages for ono hons's work, if wo can coucelvo of such legivlation, would simply compel the Massnchuscits manufag- turcrs, Butier among tho number, to aban- don thelr Lusincws, becauso thoy could not competo with mannfacturors in neighboring States whore there was no aach law, A United fitates lnw requiring all the employ- ers ju this country to pay ten honre’ wages for ono hour'sor five hours’ labor would ruin the mdustry of the entire nation, for the manufacturers of this country could not compote with the manufscturers of other countries, Tho result of the experimont would be famino; for, if it is hard matter to live nowidays on ten hours' work, tho prod. uctof oues hour's work would certainly not ba enough to live upon, Then what {s Bur. 1xu's rewedy for the injustice he conteuds is befug practiced upon the lakoring classes ? Take aunothor instance,—that of intorest pald on capital. TLis item was growly ex. oggerated ay well as the other. Burrxs soys that capital compels *onterprise” to Poy 10 per cont on borrowed moncy., As a watter of fact, this was about the highest rato of interest paid by legitimate mauu- facturivg enterprises in tho West boforo the pavic, aud it istoo well knownto require par- ticular demoustration that nduey can now be borrowed on good collaterals, or' for legiti- wate enterprises, all the way from 4 to 6 per cont, In ihe East tho rate pald by manufac- tarers ranges from 6 to 7 per cent. g But, whatever the current rate may be, Burers muintsios that it s the exaction of thiy interest which oppresses the laboring classes. There 1a the evil, but where is Bur. ren's remedy ? Under tho present practice, o wan with oro capital than Le wunts to uso iu business of his own offers Lo lend it to souiebody else to uso iu business. Tho rule of political economy is that, if thero are uumcrous bidders, be will get o bigher rute, but if the capitalist must look up romebody ta tako his noney, then he mnst content himself with n lower rate. There {8 no law, bowever, which compels tho onpitalist to Toan lis money nt a lower rate than he is willing to take, and no law which compels men to borrow that money at a higher rato than they aro willing to pay. The rate s established by mutusl ngreement, deter. mined by mutua! interests. How ia BuTLsn going to change this prac. tica? Docs he propose to have laws passed which shall compel capitalists to lend their money to the first-comer for 1 or 2 per cont per annmn? In thatoase, in ho not aware that capitalists wonld concenl their acenmulations, or convert them and take them to other coun- trics where thero aro no such forced-loan Tawa? Then what wonld becoms of **entor- prisa"? Would the loboring men be better off for driving capital out of the country, _and thus dostroying the vory basis of indus. try which gives employment to so many hundreds of thonsands of their kind? Or does BuTuxn propose that meu shall toil and wenr ont their minds and bodies, and risk their healih, and forego Indulgence, and savo and accumulate, only to tum their accumu- lation over to some other person, froe of interost, which he may uso or squander as he plenses? He might as woll ask men to build houses and rent them for nothing, to insure property without demanding any premium, or to hiro out horses aud earringes without minking any charge. Ho knows lhuman nature too well to imagine for n moment thut such n scheme conld prevail. Then what, in the namo of common sonse, does he proposs ns a means to prevent cap- ital from carning such interest as ** ontor- prise"” is willing to pay for {t? DATE OF CONORESSIONAL ELECITONS, It does mot scem to bo generally known that a United States statnte now requires that all elections for Represontatives in Con- gress must be held on the same day, which occurs this year on Tnesday, Nov. i, ‘This law wont into effect two years ogo, but the change from the provions practice of eloct- ing Congressmen on the same day that the Stato officers were votod for was not partica- Intly noticed in 1876 beeause thore was also o Presidential election in that yoar, which of itaclf nccessitated o second voting day in several of the States. The statuto in ques- tion was passed in 1872 for the purpose of securing uniformity in Congressional olec. tions throughont the country, and reads as follows: s The Tucsday next ofter the first Monday In No- vember fn (he year 1670 1 established as the sy {n ench of the States and Territoriua of the United States for tho election of Representatives and Dele exates to the Forty-Ai{th Congresn: and the Tuceday next atter the Brel Monday in Norcmber, In every necond year therearter, fa establistied an the day for tha election, In each of eald States nnd Terri- taries, of Itepronentatives and Delegates to tha Congrens conimenciug, ot tha dth day of Match nextihercalier. —Kee. Statules, Chap, I1., See. 25, We are undor tho impression that nlaw was passed by the last Congress permitting Californin to clect Congressmon next sum- mer, instead of this fall; Lut that fs the only exception, to our knowledge, if such waa the case. All tho other States and Territo- ries must comply with the general statute. In many of tho States—Connecticut, Dela~ wara, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, MMnssnchusetts, Michigan, Minnesotn, Missis- sippi, Missouri, Novada, Now Jersey, New York, North Carolius, Pennsylvania, South Caroling, Virginina, ond Wisconsin—the State low fixes the day for the State election on tho first Tucsday after tho firet Monday in November, corresponding with the date fixed by Congress for the Congreasional elec- tions. But iu all the other States where theroareState orlocal elections this year thero will need to ho two election-days,onefor tholo- cal ofticers and ono for Congressmen. Thus in Olio, Indians, and Iowa tho Stato olec. tions occur on the second Tuosdny of Octo- bor, but the election of Congressmen in theso Statcs must bo deferred till Novomber 08 in all the.other States. This change from thio old practice may lave a good deal of in- fluenco, sinco local issues will be out of the woy in those Btates which hold two elec. tions, and the fight for the November elec- tion will be on Congressmen alone, What scems singulnr is that the general impression in States that. havo beld enrlier elections ap- pears to bo that the Congressional elections will be hold as heretofors under the State laws; but, uuleas the law of 1872 has boen repealed or amended (aud wo have never heard of either), thon all the Congressional clectlons must bo Luld this year on Tuosdny, Nov. &, in order to be valid.

With rogard to the genoral principle of finding somothing for the Queen's children to do, thero is great nnn- nimity of feeling. The nobility and aristoe- raoy look upon the appointmont na reflecting now lustre upon the wr-nway Dominion and tending to mako it more loyal, aud the work- ing peoplo aud Republicans are satisfied be- cause they feel that ono at loast of the numerous Royal Lrood will be earning a living, x While all classes, therefors, are united upon the propriety of sctting the Royal childron to work, so that they may carn something for themeolves, the particular “work sot npart for Bon-in-Law Lorne ia Jooked upon with suspicion in sowe quarters, ‘The London Spectator, for instance, which favors the appointment, does not rogard it in nny othor light than that of sn exporimont, It has boen thought in this country that ft would be a relief to the Marquis in a social senge, by romoving many of the bprriers which bave heretofore shut him ont from Roynl association, but the Speclator evi- dently fancles that tho Canadians will keep up tho samo barriers, notwithstauding their proximity to our freedom of manuers and democratic equality of soclal privilegon It gaya: **To hor hnsband, the main disad- vnntago of the post will bo the subording- tion in which ho will inovitably stand towards his wife. The Canadisns aro enthusinstically loyal, but this vory quality will tend in this particular mstanco to moke thow indifferent to tho Governor. General, By the sido of the Quoon’s dangh- tor, the Quoon's ropresontative will, in a sense, hold the sccoud place. ‘Tho social dignity of the ona must overshadow thoe ofil- cial digmity of the other.” "The danger which the Spectator noes from this contrast, wo fancy, ia not so alarming as it foars, Tt has undoubledly exaggorated 1t just as it exaggerats the enthusinem of Qanadian loyalty. - The close conuection be- tween Cannda and the United States, and tho commingling of the two peoples, have not been without the effect of demooratizing them to some extont, Tho Canadians sre sufliclently loyal, and tho prosence of a live Princess ju their midst may strengthon the loynl sentiment, but it does not follow that they will draw suy very sharp distinctions botween tho Marquls and the Princess on that necount, Thore arg othor dangers more to be droaded than this, which the Spectator doos not overlook, Etiquotte will not be such & drawback to lis success as possible Qeficiencies in executive ability or ervors of over-assnmption. Tho Marquis of Lorne will follow one of the ablost and snost brilliant Viceroys Can- ada bias ever had, As tho husband' of the Princess Louisg, the expeclations of tho Canadinns will be correspondingly aroused, It is very doubtfnl whether the Marquis of Lorno, however capablo ho may bo, will ex- ceed tho sbility of Lord Durreniv, but the Caundians may expoect him to, and Lo greatlys] disappolated, 'T'hero ju still anotbor danger oven greater than thls, In England the Marquis of Lorno haa boen obliged to play a very smull second fiddle ever since his marriage, ond act the part of a dummy, In Lis new sphero of activity thoro is dan. ger he may be too active, 1Iv will no longer be content to sit still, but will be auxious to show, having (ho opportunity, that he is compotent to be son-in-law to lLier Mnjesty and Lusband of o Irincess, As thoe lntter will {nsist npon matutaluing hor Royal atate, tho former will mako curresponding efforts to mulntaln iy ofllco in all its diguity, ‘I'ho Priucess Living bs o smal} Queen, thero is the danger that the Marquils wmay want to livo ns & small King, and that the two juny combine to give the Cunadians a persounl forin of Qovernment to which thoy hiave not been aceustomed, and agaivst which thoy will kick vigorously, potwithatanding their enthusinstio loyalty, of which the English aro wo proud of talking. Tho ono quality of which the Marquis will most stand in need is personal tact i adapting hinself to circum- slances which will bo now to him. If hie has that, his adwinistration not only may be very succeasful but also vory brilliaut, . THE FICTITIOUS PEACE. ‘Tha Loudou Zimes, iua recont article npon the work of ilhe European Congress, con- gratalated ftself and the English poople that tho Treaty of Borlin would tide tho Enatern question over into the next century, consc. quently the present genoration would not need to trouble itsclf about dangers that tho coming gencration would have to provide against. This sontiment was very geuorally abarod by the Euglish peopls, aud it was uuder this illugibn of poaco that Lord Bea. coxsrtetp was showered with honors snd mads to sit at the right hand of wajesty. Meanwhile, cooler men like Bmocur and GrapstoNe were not disposed to accopt the ‘I'reaty of Berlin and thoe sezret Anglo-Turk- ish convention as iufalliblo Larbingers of pence, and prophesied disaster. GABIBALDL in a recent Jetter optly characterlzed the treaty as * a flctitiouu broath of peaco blow- ing over Europe.” 'The daugers which these statesmen apprebended have come soouer than thuy anticipated. Alresdy foreboding clouds begin to loom up on the horizon of Eastern Europe. It sy besald that Eo. gland aud Austrin were satisfied with the results of tho Cougress, but there was pot another Power in Europe, perhaps, with the excoption of Germany, who has no vital uterest u tho Fastern question, that was not dissatisfied, and theso dissatisfactions made themselves apparont the moment it was attempted to put the provisions of the treaty into practical operation. Instend of peaceful acqniesconce in theso provisions, all Eaatern Enrope is again in commotion. Austrin, instond of making an easy occenpa- tion of Bosnls, has been opposed by, conatantly increamng forces of insur. gents, ‘in whoso . ranks Mussulmans and Christians fight side Ly side in nn insurrection which has dimost become a grent war of races, ithe perfidious Porte meanwhile stirring up the peoplo to fresh resistanco, In this emergency, Austrin is compolled to send roluforcemonts of men and matorial, and to oncounter the bittor opposition of the Hungarians, who do not relish belng elnughtered in order to seauro a Selavio preponderanco in their Government: Greoco hias mnade her demand for the rectifl. catton of hor froutier, nccording to the tronty, hut it has been peremptorily re- tused.

'To emphasizo all these com- plications, now comes ‘Torkey with tho declaration that sho lay uo money with which to organize a gendarmerie, employ Judges, pay ofiicials, or carry ont any of the reforms which are expecled of her. This boing travslated, simply means that, ULoing baukropted, and whipped, and stripped, she proposos to wash hLer hands of any further responsibilitios, and it by nuy such nction slie can help to stultify the Berlin Troaty, all the bettor. She conuot hope to hetter Lier condition in time of pence, whilo another war in which sho was not o participant conld binrdly make it any worse.

Meanwhile, if Turkey caunot raise monoy to carry out those reforms upon which England relics so confidently to stop tussinn nggrandizemont, what will she do. when Russia suddenly enforces tho rights guaranteod to her by the Berlin Trenty, and demands on indemnity which she cannot pay, and what view will England thon take of the possibility of Turkish ro- forma?

To collect thnt indemnity moans to extinguish Turkey as sn independont Power, and to bring England and Russia face te face, with no barrier between them.
