THE Financial SITUA1ION N FRANCE.
The important duty of describing the tnan-
cial situation in France has been discharged
by Mr.. Theirs with his usual candOr, cleaness
of STYLE and precision. The Republic COM
pares favorably with the Empire in this
respect, for Napoleon Ill, by Introducing five
distinct budgets, had confused the public ac-
counts, and concealed from the peO-
pie the rapid and alarming growth
of the cost of his government. The Assembly
first learned the unpleasant fact from the
Executive that the expenses of the war, in
Guiding the German indemnity, amount to
about S1,GOOOOO,0OO, or about twO-thirds of our
Public Debt During 1870 the two French
governments incurred expenses amounting to
$500 100000, but as they received from taxa
ton and loans only S53l 100000 a balance of
1928 100000 remains due on the accounts of
that period. This year there is so far an ex-
cess of expenditures over receipts, amounting
to Sl97, 100000, making with the deficit of last
year a balance of S3lG0OO,OO0 against the
Treasury, which it has mainly borrowed from
the Bank of France.
In order to partially meet this and any
further deficit, and pay an installment of the
German indemnity, Mr.. Theirs asked the peo-
pie to lend the Government 100000. On
behalf of the Republic, he offered them 800
bonds, bearing per cent interest, for $50, and
asked only for $50 of that amount when sub
scribing. This offer met with a generous re-
Spouse, more than double the nominal amount
of the loan being offered.
Being thus enabled to meet his engagements
with Germany, Mr. Theirs finds that he has
further to devise means of raising the
S49OO0O,0OO required to pay the interest on the
public debt, the general expenses for the
current year. and s4OOOO,OOO to be devoted to
Sinking Fund. This sum is sS4OOO,0O0 more
than the Empire required annually, and is about
S7S,OOO,OOO over the Federal revenue of our
country. He proposes to collect it by render
ing the tariff on imports higher and still more
protective, and by increasing the present
INTERNAL revenue taxes and imposing new ones.
He was urged to introduce an income tax, but
vehemently opposed it in words deserving the
attention of its defenders in this country. :" As
g to an income tax" said he, L will say that
" if anything can inspire confidence in the
capitalists of Europe it will be precisely the
" circumstance that we can do without that
" resource. Such an impOst is, in fact, an illu
sion, source of disorder, a revival of the
"odious tax which it was the glory of the
Revolution to overturn and destroy. / for
one VIII never consent to such an inn
post and wish here to inform capt.
" talists that there exist in the Government
men energetic enough to resist an innova-
" ton that would prove so fatal. The friends
" of order also may be assured that, rather
" than tiatter popular passions and impose this
tax, | would prefer to separate myself from
" the Government

have to bear for many years, as is evident from

NATIONAL BANK NOTES NOT LEGAL
TENDERS.

The United States Treasurer has
written letter to a party IN New York
concerning the question whether notes
of National Banks are legal tender.
After reciting and commenting on sec
tons of the National Bank acts, he con-
cludes as follows: ar
AS YOU allude to the principle in
volved, it may be proper for me to say
that TO make National Bank notes legal
tender for all payments would virtually
exempt the banks from redeeming them,
since they would be as available for all
purposes, except the reserves Of the
banks, as the notes Of the United States
in which they are redeemable. The
whole National Bank circulation OF the
country would thus become perma-
nent loan, without interest, from the
people to the banks, and would operate
as tax upon the people in favor OF the
banks to Just the amount of the interest
on the bank notes in circulation. Such
a policy is indefensible on every ground
of principle or expediency, and the pro-
priety of its adoption will scarcely adj
nit OF discussion.

The Richmond Dispatch has this curl
ous story: Within a week or two Singh
lar achievement Of the telegraph has oc-
Cured. A gentleman suddenly became
III of pneumonia in Washington City.
His physician, a gentleman of great
attainments and fame, resided in New
York. and he was anxious that TINS
musician should be consulted about
his case. A telegraph wire was by his
direction taken into his room, and the
New York doctor being summoned to the
telegraph Office there, the Washington
physician attending the patient informed
him of the state Of the case, and even
enabled him to feel his patient $ pulse,
by causing the wire to vibrate as the
pulse did. The case being thus thor
oughly diagnosed in New York, the
necessary prescriptions were sent thence
to Washington. The attack, though vio-
lent. soon yielded to the treatment, and
the patient is now a very cheerful conva-
lescent This is the first case OF the
kind we have heard Of. 1t is quite an
interesting feat Of telegraphing. ~

ABOLISH rHE KAYY YARDS.

There is talk Of abolishing those ma
tional institutions known as navy yards.
Mr.. Dawes, of Massachusetts,, a sort Of
humbug reformer, Of Radical complex
ion, is down on them. In a recent
speech he said be regarded the main
tenance Of eight navy yards as an IN
necessary expense. The cost of the
officers alone would reach $1,000 600
The conviction was gaining ground,
even in the navy, that it would be better
and cheaper to have vessels built by pri-
vate contract than in the navy yards.
The amendment he had offered would
not compel the Secretary of the Navy to
sell the Charlestown and Kittery navy
yards, but It would authorize him to do
so. He was in favor of selling these two
yards in New England, and letting the
future decide on the question Of estsb
fishing one at New London, Connecticut
The testimony of the world was uniform
in favor of dispensing with public nav!
yards, and building ships Of war in pr
vate ship yards.
