Our Bon DIS In Europe.

From the Times.
With or without reason, gold tends upwards,
and the war rumOrs from Europe are the i'm
mediate cause. For the moment, of course,
the effect upon the prices of our gold-bearing
bonds is favorable. The higher the market
value of gold the higher the currency value
of securities which yield returns in gold. 1t
does not follow, however, that the rise of one
will produce a continued rise of the other. The
probability is the other way. Not only will
the further advance in gold quotations be
equivalent to a decline in the intrinsic worth
of bonds, but even the market rates of the
latter may be expected to fall. We see only
the beginning now. By-and-by, if gold keeps
on its course, we shall witness the return
from Europe of large amounts of bonds; and
being no longer able to settle our balances
with promises to pay as the substitute for
specie, we shall in all likelihood be compelled
to draw heavily upon the Treasury reserve.
II this stage be reached, the upward move
ment of gold and the downward movement of
bonds and other securities held abroad will
proceed with something like corresponding
pace
This view is hypothetical, of course. Argu-
ing by analogy with reference to the Prusso-
Austrian war of last year, we might perhaps
predict confidently that the double disturb
ance OF which we speak will not occur There
may be no stronger reason for its occurrence
now than then. But it were unwise to con-
clude that because gold declined and bonds
rose last year, therefore the same phenomena
must be reproduced during a Franco Prussian
conflict These matters are not governed by
logic or even by mercantile laws. They are
in the best OF circumstances arbitrary, and
are subject to influences and contingencies
which it sometimes impossible to anticipate.
Whether our finances suffer seriously or
not, the noticeable fact is, that by refusing
thus far to authorize the negotiation of loan
in Europe, and the issue of bonds with ex-
elusive reference to the European market we
have exposed ourselves to the difficulty which
many among us begin to dread. Our bonds
have gone abroad in large amounts, but
instead of being sent in a manner that would
have removed the chance of their sudden
return, they are in shape which exposes us
at any time to their reappearance in Wall
street. As a European loan negotiated there,
held there, and payable there, they would
have been out of the way, so far as their
bearing upon the price of gold is concerned.
In their present form they are an instrument
| of speculation which may at any moment be
! used to our prejudice The consciousness
| that they may be so used produces much OF
the nervousness which exists in financial cir
ces, And the mere possibility enables gold
| gamblers to renew the unsettlement of values,
and introduce fresh uncertainty and diff
Guilty into all business relations.

The War Panic in Europe.

From The Herald
According to our latest kilograms the
Franco-Prussian question remains unchanged
The other great powers of Europe have re-
newed their efforts to prevent the outbreak of
hostilities. Napoleon is still willing to con-
sent to reasonable arrangement. Bismark,
however, is obstinate, as before. When first
the Luxembourg difficulty was mooted
between the two powers, Bismark, we were
told, threatened to throw the onus of the con-
sequences that might follow on Napoleon.
Napoleon, 1t is not to be doubted, now
promises, without threat, but by dexterous
management to throw the onus of possible
consequences on Bismark. The game runs
nigh; the stakes become heavy; the moves on
both SIDES are skilfully made; the world looks
on with dated breath. Some go in for Bis
mark, some for Napoleon. We go in for
neither; IL IS the excitement of the game,
more than the result, of which we are ena-
moIed' At the same time we are not alto
gelher inoiilerent as to consequences, nor are

from The Tribune.
The public sensibilities have recently been
outraged by several well-authenticated reports
OF prOtracted, persistent, inhuman tortures
inflicted on mere infants by their parents or
guardians spectively-tortures which have
repeatedly induced death. Some of the tor
tuners were low, ignorant, drunken brutes, as
might be expected; but others held respectable
positions in society, one of them being a cler-
gyim1lan IN fair standing. That some of the
children OF tender years, heedlessly ''bound
TO service, by some asylum OF other public
charity, should be fearfully misused, though
deplorable, Is by no means amazing; but that
a father should maui and MAIN his own little
child, even to the extent of beating out its ten.

such libel on our race, as to be absolntely
incredible. Yet the evidence that il has bean
done-not once only, but many timesNnot
among savages in some dark age but in this
focus of Christian civilization In the wear ol
grace l866-is too direct and irresistible to be
doubted.

The Mexican savnges Again at Work

The Mexican savages Again at Work.
FiOm The Times
We had shocking report yesterday of
another massacre of Imperialist officers by the
Mexican Liberals. While Puebla was under
siege the Imperialists refused two demands for
surrender; and after the capture of the place
on the I'd instant, Porfrio Diaz refused to give
any quarter to the officers who defended the
city, and caused the entire body of them, from
lieutenant upward, to be executed. Accounts
differ greatly as to the number thus disposed
of, one report making it twenty-nine, and
another over a hundred We should refuse
to credit all this if we had not
got official confirmation from the
Liberals themselves of their pre-
vious massacres at San Jacinto and other
places. The official journal of the Juarez
Government, published at San Luis Potosi,
has lately given an elaborate defense of the
shooting of prisoners, with reference especially
to the San Jacinto affair, but showing that this
was rather the carrying out of policy than
an exceptional thing. Some of the prisoners
do not even receive soldiers death by the
bullet, but suffer the most disgraceful execu-
tiOn. recent report of Leon Guzman to the
Liberal Government mentions the capture of
several prisoners at Cerro de San Gregorio and
coolly adds:-"These are hung up on the road
from Quer6taro to Zelaya." Not only do the
military officers carry out but the civil officers
proclaim the policy of execution. At ban
quet recently given to President Juarez, at
San Luis Potosi, by the Governor, the Foreign
Minister cried out, among many other things
of the same kind:-"It is war, war-war to
the knife and no conditions" In fact, Judging
only from what the Liberals themselves say,
we ale compelled to credit the most horrible
reports of barbarities that have yet reached
us. We think that but a small proportion of
the American people will be inclined to agree
with those Congressman and journalists who
argue that these things should be allowed to
go on without protest or remonstrance from us.

have no special likings or dislikings either for
France or Prussia, either for Napoleon or Bis
mark. We consider Napoleon, notwithstand-
ing his many faults, to have been perhaps the
ablest and most intelligent ruler of his day
to have been, on the whole, public benefac-
tor; and it is our decided conviction that his
tory will Judge kindly, and grant him a lofty
and honorable niche in the future temple of
fame. We yield to none in admiration of the
talents of Count Bsmark. He certainly has
not been without his faults. Yet he has done
good service to the cause not of Prussia only
but of the whole of Germany and if the time
should ever oome as come it must and that
at no distant day, when the unity of Germany
shall be no mere poets dream, but realized
and visible truth, the name of Bismark will
be enshrined in the nations living heart. We
have no desire to see France shorn of her
strength. We have ever been anxious to see
German unity made an accomplished fact. It
is neither therefore, in pro-Frenoh nor pro-
German spirit that we write when we state
that this Luxembourg question is too paltry
an affair to justify collision between two
such powers as France and Prussia.
Napoleon, who has an eye to the future, as
well as to the present, and who never allows
himself to become indifferent to the judgment
of posterity, rightly estim ates the present
crisis, and is willing to accept reasonable
compromise. Bsmark, on the other hand, is
TOO Keen, anu III Ills duAlGbJ w CluJCll u pOo-
sible present advantage he sacrifices a certain
and infinitely greater gain in the future. The
Germans are not better prepared for defen-
sive than the French are eager for an aggres-
sive war. If the love of Fatherland is strong
in the one case, the pride of military renown
is strong in the other. Prussia is doubtless
strong in herself and has made herself
stronger by the alliances she has formed with
the other German States; but the new German
machine which Count Bismark has invented is
complex and unwieldy, and as yet untested by
the terrible ordeal of war. France, on the
other hand, is a powerful unit, not without
war experience, and moves like a living
frame, and with terrible energy, under the
| guidance and control of potent central will
| The Emperor, besides, by the cautious policy
he is now following, is creating for himself q
powerful public sympathy among the people
of other nations and when delay is no longer
possible and the signal is given to strike
| France will spring to the summons, and the
name and dynasty of Napoleon will be found
to be more popular than ever. We do moi
say that if it should come to blows France
must win; but we do say that Bismark plays 9
bold and hazardous game in refusing all com
| promise.

France armies more Immediately and destruc-
lively available than those which France can
at once summon into the field, the magnif-
cent navy of France ON the other hand, can un-
doubtedly smite with sudden paralysis the vast
commercial and manufacturing prosperity of
Western and Northern Germany, and, by
sealing the Baltic, cut off as it were in
a day from the resources of Prussia
trade one single branch of which, as an
English journal recently remarked, repre-
sents full tenth of the whole commerce of
Great Britain, while another branch crowds
the wharves of the New World with German
shipping and fills our markets with German
goods. Twenty years ago it would have been
considered morally certain that such potent
pleas for peace as these would be heard at any
court in Europe high above all passionate or
popular olamors of war. But the temple gates
have been opened; the world has passed from
a cycle of diplomacy and of argument into
cycle of popular impulse and of arms and the
chances to-day assuredly are that the year
1867 will close upon one of the bloodiest
dramas even of this strange and troublous and
turbulent age in which we live.
