CURRENT TOPICS. 
The Comity oT Nations. 
Thf. relations of the Unite*! States to the rest 
of the world is subject for congratulation. We 
may be impatient that ’.vhat seems to the partial¬ 
ly informed public a lack of spirit and true 
American looting on the part of those in 
authority exists; bur it is always welt to remem¬ 
ber that a wise conservatism on the part of those 
in office always results from a knowledge of the , 
facts in their entirety and of the responsibili¬ 
ties which ary involved in the exercise of power. 
With our system of political appointments it is 
noi astonishing that such men as Jtutler, who 
recently disgraced himself and dishonored tills 
Government, gel official place. Butovor against 
men, who are often appointed on Congressional 
recommendation, place Washburno in Paris, 
Adams and Rvarts in the Court of Arbitration 
at Geneva und others equally worthy of name. 
The recent reception of the Prince and Princess 
of Wales by Commodore Aldenat Southampton, 
and theoxehiingoor courtesies there made, lead 
to tin's rellectlon. The fact that we are at peace 
with the great powers, that we command their 
respect, tliai our distinguished generals and 
citizens are received as American sovereigns, 
by the sovereigns or Europe, and that the repre¬ 
sentatives of I he Great Powers, sons of Emper¬ 
ors and Queens, visit us and are honored by 
us, thus affording eaeh a letter knowledge of 
the other, we think should be cause for con¬ 
gratulation and rejoicing. 
Romance and Reality. 
There are a great many girls and boys, young 
men and women, in the city and country who 
need to be shown the difference between 
romance and reality between their dreamy 
creations and the actual realities of life. Here 
is an instance which It will be wise for young 
folks to study, though we hope that Hie young 
readers of the Kontt New-Yorker are too well 
trained to net itt a similar way. A Boston girl, 
fifteen years old, left lier home, a few weeks 
ago. in search of adventure. Disguising herself 
in her brother’s clothes and cutting off her Jong 
hair, she went to Fall Biver. where she found 
employment in a cotton mill. Three days' ex¬ 
perience sufficed to show lior^lie realities of this 
life, and she left the factory without calling for 
her wages, went to the country and engaged to 
a farmer as a boy to do chores, she liked farm 
choring no hotter than factory work, quickly 
left the rural felicities and returned to Boston, 
where she was arrested as a vagrant and sent to 
tlie State Reform School, where her sex waadis¬ 
covered. Although a reward nt $600 bad been 
offered for her recovery, no one had suspected 
stie was not a boy, until she arrived at the Re¬ 
form School. Such stories may read very ro¬ 
mantic; but wc doubt if the deluded girl who 
tried this experiment would advise any of her 
girl friends to repeat it. 
The French Loan. 
The French loan of three millardsnf francs 
has been quickly t aken by European capitalists, 
and Pres. Thiers' financial policy is regarded as 
triumphant. So there is confidence in the most 
cautious and conservative circles of Europe— 
money circles—in the future of France. And 
the fact that this loan has been so generally dis¬ 
tributed among the money centers of all nations 
is rightly regarded as assurance of the peace of 
Europe. P. S. The latest news front France is 
that the subscript ions to this French loan aggre¬ 
gated fortiH»W- mlUaMx of francs, or more than 
eight thousand' null Urns of dollars in wild! What 
country has a better credit than France? This 
shows how vast is the accumulated wealth of 
Europe, and how little use there is there for it 
compared with the nervous activity of capital 
in this country; and this indicates why pur own 
bonds were so eagerly taken abroad. 
Whose Ox Is Cored? 
It is not a little amusing that the papers on 
each side of the political fence are accusing 
Members of Congress of aiding their respective 
parties by franking campaign documents at the 
public expense. As if it had never been done 
before! As if it were a new and unexampled 
political horror! Aa if the people were being 
taxed to aid in keeping or putting in power pol¬ 
iticians who care more for themselves than the 
public interest, for the first time! No doubt 
politicians of both parties are now honest in 
wishing the franking privilege abolished fur 
the other! No doubt the people would be .lust 
as wise, the public treasury in a healthier con¬ 
dition, and the country just as safe the next 
four years, if the franking privilege were abol¬ 
ished. _ 
The Tariff on Worsted Coods. 
It has been an unsettled question whether the 
tariff on worsted goods was reduced ten per 
cent, by the act of June fi, 1872. Tin's has been 
finally settled through ihe efforts of John C. 
Hopper, Secretary of the National Revenue Re¬ 
form Association of New York, he having ob¬ 
tained the opinions of the leading members of 
the Finance and Ways and Means Committees as 
to trie intention of Congress, which were that 
worsted goods were included in the reduction; 
also that the ten per cent, reduction is to apply 
to the chief value of all mixed materials enu¬ 
merated in the act. It is asserted that Secretary 
Boutwell's decision is in accordance therewith, 
though at this writing not officially promulgated. 
North Carolina Election. 
The campaign in the State election of North 
Carolina has been most vigorous, both parti' s 
putting in Ihe field their best speakers, and 
spending money freely. Each party has conced¬ 
ed the result to be the key note to the Novem¬ 
ber verdict. Opinions will differ on this point 
however- We write Monday, P. M.. Aug. 5. The 
news up to the hour of writing indicate a small 
Democratic majority for Governor—Ora verdict 
in favor of Greeley. But there Is still some rea¬ 
son to doubt, as there are several Western coun¬ 
ties to hear from, where the Republicans claim 
they will at least reduce the Democratic major¬ 
ity to 200 or :«J0, if they do not succeed in ob¬ 
taining a majority for their own candidate. 
What the Cuban Insurrection Has Cost 
Spain. 
NotWITH8T a mh .\r. the a 11 empts si cadily made 
on the part of those in the Spanish interest to 
depreciate the magnitude and success of the 
Cuban war, wc have at last a Spanish confession, 
by Sen or Becerra, late Colonial Secretary of 
Spain, which he uttered in the Fortes, to the ef¬ 
fect that the i’ulian war bus cost the Spanish 
Government sixty-four millions id' dollars and 
thirty-four thousand men. If that is what it 
cost to put down an “insignificant insurrec¬ 
tion,” what will it cost when il becomes formid¬ 
able? 
Has Stanley Seen Dr. Livingstone? 
This vexed question issetiled. Helms. Lord 
Granville, and Viscount Enfield of the British 
Foreign Office, acknowledge the receipt of let¬ 
ters from Livingstone through Stanley. I)r. 
Livingstone's son also acknowledges the receipt 
ol Dr. Livingstone's diary, sealed and <lfreeled 
in Livingstone's own hand, and Idlers from his 
fal her beside. 8o all doubts a re set at rest. The 
Herald lias prosecuted a legitimate enterprise to 
h triumphant conclusion, and Stanley is the hero 
of the hour in London.

MONEY AND TRADE AFFAIRS. 
New York, Monday, Aug. 5, 1872. 
f Since our last report ihe Secretary of the Treasury 
has published the tirst of August Schedule of the 
Public Di'bt of the Culled States. It shows it further 
reduction of the Principal of the Debt, since July 1. 
of $.3,427,000, notwithstanding the Customs revenue 
of tlic month fell on upwards ol six and h half mil¬ 
lions, a* compared with July. 1871, owing to the delay 
In the operation of the new Tariff. This Tariff is new 
in mil farce, and (or the three days of the present 
month of August over $4,000,000 in Gold have been 
taken in for duties at the Port of New York, and 
trade in Foreign Imports Is decidedly more active. 
The changes in the Public Debt since March i, 1809, 
when the present Administration came Into power, 
and the reduction of Ihe annual Gold Interest charge 
thereon, is thus marked

Treasury Is selling $1.0Cfl,000(«2,000,000 per week, but 
this falls considerably short of the demand to pay
