1Hk FINANCIAL SITUATION AND THE RU-
MoRs OF WAR IN EURoPI-One OF the most
careful financial writers in New YORK states
that private letters from Europe to their cor
respondents in that city, ad wise caution, in
view of the contingency Of European war.
The accumulation of specie In the Bank Of
France, in round numbers $25o,00O, 900 In gold,
and the loss of f571,00o, equal 10 s2.55o,0O0, In
gold, reported by telegram, in the Bank Of
England statement for last week, indicate that
gold has been purchased for French account,
as there is nothing in the movement Of the for
eign commerce Of France to warrant this ex-
traordinary gain of bullion by the Bank of
France, and the commensurate loss by the
Bank of England and other money centers. For
some time past the price of gold has been high
er in Paris than IN any other money center
while New York has been the point at which
gold has been sold at a cheaper rate than in any
other great financial center of exchanges. The
result has been the enormous accumulation of
bullion in Paris, unprecedented in the history
Of medern times. and which Justly excites the
distrust and fear of Europe as much as the
warlike footing Of the French army aud navy.
The French Government has been q large
purchaser Of horses for a year past, and last
week quantity Of hay has been bought in the
New York market for French account, and
supposed to be for that Government. The con.
tinued weakness and decline in British consols,
in the face of a two per cent. money market, is
significant Of the distrust in regard to future
political complications leading to war in
Europe, which disturbs financial circles there.
Capitalists are seeking to shelter themselves as
in preparation for a storm. The 'dry rot"
continues to sweep out its victims. A large
German cotton firm is reported to have failed
in Liverpool with liabilities of about s9OO,OOO
in gold, and also a firm in the grain trade for
a considerable amount.

This is the regular night for the meeting of
the City Councils, but we cannot hear that there
is any prospect of the Board Of Aldermen get
ting into working gear. Alderman Richards is
out of town attending the Educational Con-
yention at Nashville, and the Aldermanic
situation" is slightly changed thereby, giving
the Democrats majority in the Board for the
time being unless he has "paired off" with
some other member. The joint convention
(adjourned) Of the two Boards, however, takes
place tonight, and it is probable there will be
no separate meeting of the Aldermen.

New York, recently decided that a minor who
had enlisted in the army was bound by his
oath that he was over eighteen, and could not

The approaching elections in England, ac-
cording TO an intelligent observer in that coun-
Try, will result as follows: First, the Liberals
will have very decided majority in the new
Parliament; secondly, these Liberals will be
pledged to support Mr.. Gladstone in a very
different manner from that in which they sup
ported him last session; thirdly, the majority
OF the House will be united on behalf of n clear
and definite programme, and will be compelled
10 adhere together so long as the question Of
the Irish Church remains undecided; and, last
iy, the House will be composed Of men whose
politics, whether ministerial or opposition.
will eventually be tinged with pracocal con-
seryatism inherent in the possession OF wealth
and station These conditions are not uni
fOrmly favorable TO the Liberal cause Suu
they are vastly more so than have been known
Of late years.

A meeting of prominent men OF both political
parties was held at New Orleans ON SATURDAY,
TO discuss measures to insure the peace of the
State of Louisiana Gov. Yarmouth. on the
part Of the Republicans, stated that there was
nothing in reason, except the abandonment of
their party principles, which they would not
concsde TO secure harmony. The Democrats
complained Of aggressive and oppressiv We legis-
lation, and SAID the Democratic and Conserva-
tive elements of the country expected to &C.
complish nothing except in a legal and constI-
tutional way, and insisted that it was unwise
and improper for the State government to defy
the sentiment and wishes of the people, and
that if the Governor would throw himself upon
the people they would sustain him, and no re-
sort TO force for the Preservation of the peace
would be necessary. Another meeting will be
held in few days, when, it is hoped, some
practical illustration of the mutual desire for
harmony will be presented.

THE Chicago Times acknowledges
that Gen. GRANT is lucky. And now
comes NJ. LABoULAYE, the eminent
French writer, who has just published,
in Paris, an article on the political
situation in the United States. with
the assertion that the United States
is also lucky. He says that even
though the horizon should be less
bright than the most prominent Re
publican papers in the United States
claim, he considers GRANT and Col
FANS election as foregone conclu-
sion; . for" says he, at every crit
zeal juncture n is history. the Amer
lean Republic, when its citizens were
thoroughly aroused, has had the best
of luck, and so it will be again this

BLAIR would be great calamity. and

lucky on such occasions to Esake me
