turned from Germany. Within the last few
days appreheusons have again been aroused
about returning bonds. 1t looks now as
tbouob the war between Germany and France
had entered upon new term, and might be
carried on till the resources of the combatants
arc exhausted. If this idea be true,
there is no doubt reason to ex-
pect that the Germans will be com
PEELED to part with our bonds to some con-
siderable extent. We do not refer merely to
the operations that will be rendered necessary
on the part of tho great speculative dealers in
Frankfort; but it must be remembered that
very large proportion of our bonds now IN
Germany are In the hands of small holders
who have thus invested their little savings, or
their reserve capital, for the sake at once OF
the interest and the security. III the war con-
tinues many of these will be compelled to re-
sort to their reserve fund for the means OF
subsistence The commerce OF Germany Is
almost wholly destroyed; her regular INDUS
tries are broken up; her productive
powers are interfered with; hundreds
of thousands of the men who were the bread
winners have been killed or are prostrated
with wounds hundreds Of thousands more are
absent from their homes serving in the armies; /;
and there can be no doubt that, in innumera-
BILE cases, individuals and families, dependent
upon industry or upon their natural supporters,
will find it absolutely necessary to fall back
upon the accumulations of previous years
such a large proportion of which was invested
in United States bonds The price of bonds
might again decline under these circumstances !;
but those compelled to realize would not be
able to let this stand in the way of their
necessities
It is not worth while to form any cOnjectures
about the movements, in any event, OF the
largo Frankfort dealers in our bonds; but there
is no difficulty in forming an opinion about
the action of the countless small holders there
of, in case the war between Germany and
France is prosecuted for three or SIX months
longer. 1t is well, too that the financial com
munity should take these things into account,
for they will thus be less likely to be surprised
at events that need not surprise anybody.

serious nature of the defeat of the French,

THE GOLD AND BOND MOTEMEyT

At the beginning of the war now raging in
Europe apprehensions were entertained by our
financial community of the return to this
country from Germany of large quantities of
our bonds, which are held by the German
people to the extent of seven or eight hun
dred million dollars. These apprehensions
have continued to exist, more or less, during
the last two months. They have not, how
ever been justified thus far. A few million
dollars worth were sent from Frankfort, but
only very small proportion of these came to
this market A sudden rise of gold here, to
the extent of ten or twelve per cent, rem
dered their return losing business,
and most Of them were disposed of in Lon
don. Their price in London and Frankfort
fell ten points in a short time; but latterly
they have recovered, and for some days past
have been quoted but one OF two points be-
low the price they had reached just before the
opening Of the war. While the amount of our
bonds returned here has been very small, our
export of gold TO Europe has been very large.
From the beginning of July, when the war
cloud arose on the Rhine, to the close of last
week Qess than three mOnths) our gold ex-
ports amounted to thity-two millions of dol
lars, or nearly double the total amount ex-
ported during the first half Of the year, and
not far from three times as much IA during
the corresponding three months of last year
These facts are somewhat different from the
anticipations of most of our fnanciers and
operators ninety days ago. Few Of them
looked for such a heavy export of gold to
London, while many of them expected TO see
a great amount Of our Government bonds re-

Our esteemed friend The World il at some
pains to inform us that the general impression
that until recently it was deficient in c0rre-
spondents at the European centers of informa-
ton and the fronts of the French and Prus-
sian armies is quite erroneous; it has al,cays
had correspondents everywhere, and if they
have failed to correspond it has been for good
and sufficient reasons, and not because they
had no existence. We are not prepared to
deny this remarkable statements but our es-
teemed friend must not blame us so severely
for falling, with the rest of mankind, into
mistake which we humbly submit was perfectly
natural. If we found no dispatches in the
columns of our esteemed friend, except those
which were borrowed from THE TRIBUNE or
written on this side Of the water, We could not
suspect that hundreds Of World correspond
ents were actually roaming over Alsace and
Lorraine, but (sly dogs that they areD preserving
discreet silence, just to humbug us;-nrw,

mails brought us on Saturday a long document
which our esteemed friend printed as a special
Cable dispatch on the following Monday, it was
natural to suppose that something must be
wrong somewhere, and really we must be par
doned for saying that it is not complete ex-
planation of the mystery to say that special
dispatch was forged because it was of the first
moment to the full understanding and appre-
citation of the very grave and important"
etc, ETC., etc. Again, when The World pub

narrative, by its Especial correspondent" of
the escape of the Empress Bugenie to England,
accompanied by NJ. de Lesseps, and when we
found the same narrative, only without the
ornaments of an exuberant dramatic fancy, In
The London Times received the day before, and
when we find in the Paris Temps note from

"Cursed be Canaan" must hereafter be re-
ceived with several grains of allowance, potent
as these three little words have heretofore
been both in the religion and politics of the
land. For here we read that Canaan" in
the shape of an African congregation in Gin
cinnati, has actually bought an old Jewish
synagogue in that city, and will hereafter
worship therein. Now the Jews, above all
Others, may be supposed to understand their
own sacred history; and can we suppose that
they would sell even q second hand synagogue,
having still an aroma of sanctity about it, for
people accursed of God to worship inf Here
is a practical disclaimer of great deal of
bigoted nonsense which Christians, to palliate
their own misdeeds, have heretofore attributed
to the Hebrews.

THE SURRENDER OF STRdSBOURG.


half century ago Gen. Uhrch, the Com
mander of Strasbourg, would have been
thought a hero, for his defense has been long
and well sustained But history will give him
no higher commendation than that of making
a stubborn resistance in a hopeless case.
There were no gallant sorties, for the vigilant
German Commander gave no opportunities for
any. There were no displays of great engi
neering on the part of the defenders; they sat
sullenly down and saw the enemy draw his
lines closer about them preparatory to crush
ing them This generation has come to know that
stubbornness is not the highest military quality,
TO recognize that a commander has not the
moral right to continue struggle after he
mas recognized that resistance is hopeless. 1t
Is not greatness in a garrison to suffer and
resist when the suffering is that of the people
and not OF the soldiers. Gen. Uhrich must
have known for nearly month past that no
army could come to his relief; that his stores
could not last much longer; that the final can
ture of the place was reduced by the German
engineers to a mathematical certainty. and
history will condemn him for not excercisino
his Judgment and discretion as well "A his
yalor. For the present, in the absence of other
objects of admiration, the French people will
eyalt him 10 front ranl. among their heroes.

Our opinion is that portion of the remains
of the Democratic Party" must recently
have been exhumed at Yerba Buena, in Cali
fornia. When the coffin was opened there was
discovered, instead of the regular and expected
skeleton, only knee-pan, with some dust
and ashes" pair of boots, and bottle of
whisky. How the rest Of the body got out of
the sarcOphagus and is now running here
and there for Congress in detached portions,
is as difficult to explain as why it left the
useful Bourbon behind it, Moreover, at the
South the patella will be seriously missed for
the chief business of " the party now (es-
pecially in Louisiam) is to I" crook the preg-
nant hinges of the knees" mainly before the
negro population. Knees-that is, if it means
to ask forgiveness for its sins-are what " the
