annoying complications in the money and ex-
changes in the different parts Of Europe 1t is
difficult for stranger to understand them
particularly in travelling through the numcr-
Gus States Of Germany, where be is always
subject to being feeced.
But we look upon this movement as an
adroit stroke Of policy ON the part Of the
French government to make France the con-
trolling moneyed Power Of the Continent. At
present London exercises that power. Bank
OF England notes can be used everywhere, and
negotiations in the British pound sterling are
everywhere understood and used very gener-
ally. The success Of this convention in estab-
fishing uniform currency through the coun-
tries named will have the effect of destroying
the monetary influence of England and concen-
trating it in Paris. The uniform coin that the
convention may adopt will be the basis Of
exchange as we'll as the medium of commerce
throughout all southern and southwestern
Europe. The little shaving monopolies Of
separate or small communities have lived their
day. Like the telegraph and other monopolies
Of the petty German States, which taxed and
perplexed travellers so much, they are des-
tined to give way before the grand movements
and liberal views Of the times.
But why not make the system of uniformity
proposed general one for both Europe and
America? We repeat what we have urged
before: let MS have a convention Of all the
civilized nations to establish uniform coinage,
weights and measures

ExPERuMNrM0 WITH FORr DEFENCEs.-Our
Fortress Monroe correspondent furnishes in
another column the result Of the first days ex-
perimental firing Of two heavy Rodman guns
at an iron-plated granite wall seven feet nine
inches thick, under the supervision CT the Board
Of Engineers, In order to test the capacity Of
this kind Of fort defence. II does not appear
that the experiment 30 far was very successful,
the iron plates and granite buttresses yielding
considerably TO the weight Of metal hurled
against them. The guns employed were
bore Of the Rodman pattern, carrying respect
lively four hundred and thirty pound and six
hundred and twenty pound shot This was q
pretty severe test, and after i've shots the tar
get became very shaky, the iron plates being
split In many places and the granite wall
scanned and splintered. 1t is ofthe utmost i'm
portance that our government should continue
these experiments vigorously All other nations
are alive to the necessity Of improving every
arm Of offence sud defence In warfare. In Eng
land and France improvements and expert
ments are continually being made. No doubt
tucoS utc bstuNuotCu w tuO "a
traoriinary advance made by ms during the
late war in the science Of artillery and the ap-
plances Of iron plating We have just seen a
great war decided in Europe by one slight inn
provement in . single military arm-the Prus-
sian needle-gun. We know not how soon we
may be called upon to put into operation the
practical results Of any Improvement in the use
Of arms and the security Of our coast dcfences.
Just now we have at the entrance Of New York
harbor two apparently good forts, which might
have withstood an ordinary attack some years
ago, but We are certain that they are now not
capable OF resisting the improved artillery Of
the present day. Fort Hamilton Ia secured by
its carthworks, but neither Fort Richmond nor
Lafayette, nor Castle William. on Governors
Island, is good for anything. Floating bat
teries would be more reliable than any other
kind Of defence. Admiral Farragut has said
and proved In his own case at vicksburg and
New Orleans that q ship, If properly handled,
can run past any stationary fortihcation, but q
floating battery that can follow her mp and
cripple her by repeatedly hammering at her Is
not so easily avoided. II the system Of iron
plated forts should prove successful after the
experiments at Fortress Monroe, all the forts
along the coast should be clad with iron al
once and made imprcgnable to shot II possi-
BILE. II is the duty Of our government to keep
ahead Of other countries In the improvement oi
firearms and methods Of defence. We have
taken the lead In this respect, and we should
keep it. We trust, then, that experiments Of all
kinds will be tried until the nearest thing 70
perfection IL reached.

Double Dealing.
Some days since we published report that
the French soldiers in Mexico were enlisting
in Maximilian's native regiments In about equal
proportions. 1t was also stated that while
Napoleon was Withdrawing mere skeleton regi-
ments of the French fresh and full regiments
were being landed at Mexican seaports All
this information is amply confirmed by later
intelligence. Our Vera Cruz correspondence
published yesterday states that it was gen.
orally understood and given out that the
Eghty-first French regiment of the line was
en- route for Vera Cruz to embark at once for
Europe; but on investigation it was found that
only one battalion of said regiment was going
down, and that the remaining portion-fifteen
hundred to two thousand men-were ready to
take up the flag of the empire in lieu Of the
flag of the French as soon as the battalion re-
further states that Frances money is being
expended in large amounts, in every direction,
to increase the strength Of the imperial army
Vera Cruz paper confirms these statements
and furthermore says "the French government
permits the enlistment in France Of volunteers,
and will give to the imperial government of
Mexico arms and munitions Of war" The
same paper states that those who have studied
the very latest developments are asking,
"What difference will it make to the United
States government whether it fights French
regiments, directly known as such or French
regiments in disguise, under the colors Of the
empire"
This is a very natural and pertinent ques-
ton and one that should be brought home to
the American government with the least posi-
BILE delay. That there has been a lack Of good
faith toward the United States in this Mexican
business by the Emperor Napoleon evidence
Of considerable weight is being furnished by
nearly every arrival from Mexico. Besides the
double dealing in the enlistment of volunteers
under the eyes Of the French government, the
insincerity on the part of Napoleon in not
Withdrawing his regiments in pursuance of an
agreement with the American Minister in Paris,
and the shallow and disingenuous, not to say
dishonorable, act Of supplying the place of
the flag Of France with the flag of the
empire, while the body of the regiments re-
main as before, are in themselves grounds
sufficient to warrant our government in
promptly interfering, by force of arms il
necessary, in the affairs of Mexico. This whole
muddle of the empire in Mexico has been
managed in q most imbecile manner by our
government. 1t has shown neither dignity,
selfrespect nor vigor in vindicating the Ameri-
can policy Of non-intervention claimed to
have been SO notoriously outraged by the
French Emperor. 1t is fully time now to put
in strong arm in the settlement Of the ques-
tion. The period for continuing the Seward
policy Of diily-dallying with this as well as
with other foreign questions is passed; and
now we trust q new era, full of freshness,
power and dignity, will distinguish the man
agement Of the matter Of extinguishing the
empire in Mexico.

ruined the hybrid second and third. Mean
while the country has struck out for itself q
path between the two extremes, and regard
less of factions or conventions is moving for
the constitutional amendment as the only way
of settling the whole business.
The truth is that these antiquated modes of
operating on the public mind have had their
day. The mere dictum Of convention is no
longer potent with the people. All the old
parties and the power Of the old convention
system were buried by the war in one common
grave Our people now think for themselves,
and find in the enterprise Of powerful and
Independent press abundant material on which
to base their opinions. There is not the
slightest probability that any of these three
conventions-the conservative, the nigger or
the Northern-will have any special effect on
the coming elections The niggerheads will
be defeated and the copperheads will be de-
feated. Thad Stevens will be ousted from
power by the adoption Of the constitutional
amendment and the consequent admission of
the Southern States into Congress. Wendell
Phillips may possibly be elected, but his
principles will be ignored, and the copper
heads will never be heard from at all.
