The public debt of Prussia is very light,
and has been almost entirely incurred since
1850. While six and half years of the large
French annual revenue is represented by the
amount of the French debt, that of Prussia
amounts to only two and half years of her
moderate annual receipts. The total debt of
the kingdom, both old and new provinces,
amounts to $1SS, 497, ,52O, exclusive of the
small liabilities incurred by the annexed pro-
vinces for the establishment of State rail-
roads. The revenue and expenditure of the
other German States are unimportant. The
same economy is apparent in their financial
affairs as in the Prussian, the standing armies
being the only serious burden.
1t follows from the solvency and we'll
managed finances of Prussia that her credit
is untarrisbed. During fifty-fve years the
German people have excepting the recent
Austrian war; been undisturbed by war, and
have been enabled to develop the immense
resources of their fertile territory and accu-
mulate immense material wealth.

PRUSSIA.
The revenue of Prussia according to the
budget accounts in 1869 was 1925, 652, $780,
and the expenditure the same. The revenue
and expenditure of Prussia has since 1865
been almost stationary, and no deficits have
marked her annual financial returns, a fea-
ture unusual in most European budgets. This
revenue in 1869 was raised to the extent of
AZ, ,06O, 600 thalers from direct and from in
direct taxes to the amount of 1S,907, go
thalers, which includes the share of the Zoll-
verein customs.
The State railroads, mines, forges, and
other Government monopolies yielded the
greater part of the balance. In the estimate
for 1869 the branches of expenditure were as
follows:-

course, he tells US, lest by permitting himself
to be reelected be might CONFUSE his best
and truest friends. His friends will be
grateful, or at least they should be. We as
sure him that there are very few Republicans
in the country who will not be profoundly
thankful to him for the self-sacrifcing spirit
which he has exhibited. He reminds US, in
some sort, of those gentlemen who, after
compulsory emigration to penal settlement;
declared that they ''left their country for
their countrys good. Go, Mr.. White
more, if such are your feeiings-go, wherever
you please (provided the officers don't nab
you for the peniten iary), and may you be
happy AS the prelate said to Gil Bias, "We
wish you all manner of prosperity and little
more sense!' Your misfortune is that you
have been found out. Undoubtedly there
we're many members of the last, as there will
be many members of the next Congress, who
are not whit better than the unhappy Whit
temore; but they were or will be shrewd and
sharp fellows, knowing how to cover their
tracks. The fact is, Mr.. w (if we may credit
his letter. is altogether too good for Congress,
and if he should be sent back to Washington,
he might be like the simple minded girl who
used to inform the Justice of the Peace that
she was ruined again.

THE ATRoCITY OF THE WAR.

From the N. Y. World
1t is hard to understand how any man who
appreciates the value of human life and re-
spects the laws of human happiness can feel
any kindling "sympathies" with either COM
bstant in the dreadful war now desolating
France and jeopardizing the progress of
Europe 1t is the merest sanguinary drivel
to talk about the wickedness of the Emperor
Napoleon, or the ambition of Count Bis
marok, or the fanatical crown worship of
King William as the criminal cause of all
these horrors. What are called the ''ideas'
underlying it are equally criminal, equally
odious. Neither the ''unity of the German
race, nor the ''sanctity of the German
Rhine, nor "the restifcation of the frontiers
of France are objects so high and vital as to
justify the seeking them through the rivers
of blood now shedding on the soil of Europe.
The German race may be united, as
many another race has been before it,
without being thereby made either freer
or happier or more enlightened. The
Rhine will be German in vain if it is to bear
on its broad bosom the ornaments of kings
maintained by the oppressed and swindled
labor of millions. The frontiers of France
will not be worth rectifcation if they inclose
only Pr@torean camp administered by a
corrupt bureaucracy. The Germans of Swift
zerland care nothing for German unity,
because they have found som 9thing infinitely
better and nobler in Swiss freedom. The
Rhine is more glorious where it sparkles at
its source among the inviolate Alps, and
where it broadens sluggish to the sea through
the prosperous levels of heroic and indepen-
dent Holland, than where it mirrors the he'll
NETS of royal garrisons on the battiements Of
Ehrenbreitstein, or the liveres of princes
''by the will Of Cod on the terraces of
Stoizenfels 1t is simply horrible to think
of the one atrocious fact that during the past
six weeks at least hundred and fifty thou
sand men, in the very flower and prime of
manhood have been stricken from the rolls
of civilization in war which nothing but
popular ignorance, popular passions, and the
heIplessness of labor under the heel of
power made possible, and which, in it's turn,
must deepen that popular Ignorance, inten-
sify those popular passions and in
crease that helplessness. If the original
Hohenzollern had been hanged, as his dutiful
descendant Frederic thought he deserved to
be- before he was married from crane in
his own Nuremburg warehouse, aud if the
original Bonaparte had died a childless monk
in Italy, this war might still have been waged
That it can be waged at all is the sin and
shame of the people who wage it; and the
honest horror of the whole business expressed
by the unions of the workingmen of Europe
is better and wiser than all the patriotic
balderdash and diplomatic thimble-rigging
which have been wasted by educated and
celebrated persons in trying to make mon
strous crime respectable and monstrous
blunder imposing.
