The Disappointment In France.
From he Times.

From ne Tunes
Our latest French exchanges display nume-
rous proofs of the accuracy of the statements
made by our Paris correspondent about the
feeling of the French people on the recent
peaceful settlement Of the dispute with Prus-
sia. They are not satisfied with the way the
affair has been patched up. 1t was so unlike
France to swallow the insults of Prussia, and
to back down before the defiance of Bismark.
They call on the Government to assume even
vet bolder attitude in continental affairs, and
they demand that France shall show to Europe
that her supremacy will be maintained here
after, whatever may happen. 'The whole
nation" says our correspondent "wants to go
to war with Prussia, and certainly expects
soon to do So"
We do not place a great deal of value upon
this as affecting the relations of France towards
Prussia. Something of the kind was to be
expected after the baking of the war spirit,
which had become so highly aroused in France.
The attitude of Bismark not only excited the
French people, but led to the universal con-
Yiction that war was inevitable. The military
action of the EmperOr's Government strength
ened the opinion, and the gigantic warlike pre-
parations made it appear certain that hostili-
ties would be opened in any event. When
such feelings are established in a nation, they
cannot be allayed at once. And when the
opportunity for their qualification is suddenly
checked, there will certainly be anger and dis
appointment The French have now begun
to talk of what they would surely have
achieved and gained in war. With all their
battles victories, and all their fields glorious
with every disputed point settled in their

Productive Industry a Condition o.
Financial Safety.

Productive Industry Condition OF
FtnRn ncinl SAFETY.
From the Times.
Mr.. McCulloch's letter to his Boston friends
may be composed of commonplaces, as its
assailants allege, but its suggestions are not
on that account less appropriate or just. In
deed, there is an urgent necessity for common
sense rather than theorizing or rhetoric as a
means of helping the country out of it's diff
culties. The prevailing tendency is to cure
all ills by the application of nostrums of which
plain sense is rarely an ingredient. Thus,
business depression it is proposed to remedy
by protective tariffs; tight times by more cur
rency; general poverty by an increase OF debt.
The Secretary of the Treasury, with his vulgar
habit of calling things by their right names,
terms these prescriptions quackery, and no
other word could more ftly describe their
character.
The stress the Secretary lays upon the
growth of productive industry as condition
OF financial safety does not reveal q new or
brilliant idea. Everybody has heard of it
many times. But it is timely because our
lawmakers and large numbers of our people
appear to have forgotten the fact, and it is i'm
portant because its adoption is essential to the
avoidance of national bankruptcy.
Just now, the productive forces of the
country have not fair play. In the South
Wn6T6 Ln6y SnOulu D6 mOSJ vigorous, ana
where in ordinary circumstances they would
be most profitable, they are impaired and
crippled by political influences. No single
consideration would aid them half so much as
speedy reconstruction. The want of means,
of enterprise, of heart of hope, which now
paralyzes every interest, would disappear
were the South restored to the Union. Capt.
tai would find its way thither in amounts
equal to its necessities, and trade and the
Treasury would be invigorated as by magic.
Judged simply as a financial measure the
earliest possible completion of the reconstruc-
ton policy is of vital Importance as guaran-
tee against disaster.
To relieve industry further we mast make
up our minds to overhaul and radically amend
the present system of taxation. As now it
operates, it is a worse enemy to American in
dustry than the most formidable of foreign
competitors. 1t is in effect system for in
flicting the greatest amount of injury upon
industry with the smallest gain to the Trea-
sury. So considered, it is a success. But the
country cannot afford to risk its continuance.
The taxes must therefore be reduced, simpli-
fed, and so adjusted that they shall no longer
crush enterprise and industry. The Treasury
need not suffer from the change. On the con-
trary, it is possible to combine a reform and
reduction of taxes with an increase of revenue.
One of the worst features of the existing sys-
tenn is its wastefulness and cost in respect of
collection.

tell very heavily against him; not to mention
the carrying ont of these DEGREES, which has
resulted in the wholesale massacre of thou
sands of the Liberals of Mexico and the desc
lation of their country. But the Liberals, in
saving the life of the man who has contributed
largely to all this, will act wisely. That they
will do this is shown by tine action of Porfrio
Daz, who lately liberated all his prisoners
taken at Miahuatlan, La Carbonada and Puebla.
Although among these were six hundred Euro
peans of various nationalities, they were set at
liberty, and will probably never be disturbed
if they keep peaceable. II is the intention of
the Liberals to shoot only those noted leaders
of the reactionary or Church party who, appa-
rently without any political creed except the
union of Church and State are bent upon the de-
struction of Mexico, providing they cannot rule
it. Among these men are Marquee, MiramOn,
Castillo, and others, who have, by their whole
sale robbery and blOodshed, brought down
the execration of the civilized world upon
their country, and caused the very interven-
ton which plunged Mexico into this long and
terrible war--an Intervention which supported
the leaders, men whose crimes gave them the
plea for a restoration of order. II is these
men whose heads are not safe, and no amount
of Intervention can save them; even the in
huence of Horace Greeley would be Intellectual.
We expect soon to entertain Macmillan in
New York, where he will probably stop on his
way to Canada. 1t is probable that an
arrangement is making to give straw bail for
him, ,..and that, this effected, the two men who
went hand in hand for a general revolutionary
movement against Southern North America
will in Canada consult as to their future.
Greeley, the cup. bearer to an America Jupiter,
will be there to do the honors of the occasion.
II is then proposed that, as the careers of all
three are ended, they take General Sherman's
place, and make final pilgrimage to the Holy
Land, after the manner of the ancients, who,
when they had discovered by defeated hopes
how uncertain all things are here below,
picked up the pilgrims staff, and resolutely
turned their footsteps towards Mecca jeff
Davis, with a map of the Confederacy, and

Offering to the Old World may travel arm in
arm, and, still leaning on each other for sup
port, traverse the desert sands; while Greeley,
carrying bale of straw upon which to lie,
may bring up the rear.

Ths Imperial Prisoners of the Mexican
Liberals.
From ne Herald.

From the Herald.
The cable news informs us that there is the
greatest excitement in Europe about the fate
of Maximilian. 1t is very much feared that he
has gone to look after the flibusters who have
preceded him; but we feel quite certain that
he is now prisoner in the hands of the Re-
publicans. The Herald long since informed
the public, through its special correspon-
dent, that orders were issued from the Mexi-
can War Department to General Escobedo,
when the siege of Queretaro commenced, that
under no circumstances was Maximilian to be
shot, but to be made a prisoner to be dealt
with according to the disposition of the gene
raj Government. The only thing that can
have changed these orders is the stupid inter
ference of Mr.. Seward; but we hope that the
Juarez Government will take into considera-
ton that Mr. Seward is in his dotage, and not
entirely responsible for everything that he
does. There is too much good sense in the
Liberal party to shoot man who can do them
NO more harm, aud whom they have always
considered a miserable tool in the hands of
Napoleon and the Mexican retrograde party.
The probability is that his life will be
spared-not so much in Justice as In polioy:
for if Justice were meted out the barbarous
DEGREES of Macmillan, which disgrace the
civilization Of this century, would, in trial,
