Probably no nation in history. Immediately after
an exhausting war had been buoyed up IN Its
business stimulated in its enterprises, as TINS mas
been since the close of the up to the collapse OF
last Fall. These results the Register says, may De
attributed to the issuing of National bonds and
Creenback currency and the adoption of our Ma
tonal banking system, which, together with the
extensive railroad enterprises carried on by foreign
capital. inflated our financial system and produced
fictitious values of all kinds. This inflated condi-
ton can only be protracted by additional loans from
abroad The issue of bonds greenback and
National bank currency is upward OF S3,OOO,-
OOOOOO This stupendOus structure of credit
has bolstered us up since the war by Initiating
values so that many sensible persons have been
deluded into believing that the country was Actually
enriched by the A comparison of the natlonal
debt resulting from the wars of 1917 and leol-op
presents a remarkable contrast. The former, OF
S127OOO0O0. required - years in payment, and was
at the rate of about S63JOOOO year. As has been
already stated, the debt of the late war
has already been reduced over S5OO,OOOOOO, or
about S60000O0 a month, for seven years.
In 1920 our population was 100000, showing per

nine times as much was paid by the Government
from 1915 to 1895, when that war debt was finally
paid off. The Register concludes by saying that
from these facts and figures he thinks it evident that
the ability Of the country has been too severely
taxed and beyond what the people can
endure. Under this state of affairs, he
SAYS. 1t becomes serious question whether
speedy resumption of specie payments would not
cause widespread ruin and unparalleled disaster.
The designation of day in the near future, he
thinks would cause alarm and stop enterprise,
lessen the demand for labor compel the cancellation
of debts by process of law, expose TO forced sales
vast quantities of real estate, aud thus cause great
shrinkage Of values and distress among the people
Bonds for greenbacks and greenbacks for bonds
might become a popular cry with many who now
deem such a scheme species of reputation. 1T
seems TO me that all this may be avoided by per-
hitting the business of the country TO adjust itself
without either further imitation or compulsory re-
sumption. Time is the essential element in effect
ing a recuperation from the present financial ex-
haustion. This, with industry and economy on the
part of the people and a prudent economy on the
part of the Government, will restore confidence and
prosperity

ANOTHER DEFEAT OF THE GOVERNMENT ON THIS

DRAwN-THE RIGHT DISCOURAGED.
PARIS. Friday June 10. 1874
In the Assembly to-day an amendment to the Mu-
nicipal Organization bill was adopted, which COM
pletes the defeat of the measure. The amendment
in effect maintains the existing system of munich
pal elections striking out the clauses which provide
for minority representative by cumulative voting.
1t was adopted by vote of $40 to a. which caused
great surprise. The withdrawal of the bill was an
nOunced.
The Right is deeply discouraged by the recent
votes in the Assembly. IL feels that its power Is
gone. and that the majority which it was hitherto
able to command is broken up. The Left Center IS
determined to make change in the domestic policy
of the Government.

THE SOLDIERS RIGHT OF PETITION

The Secretary of War, in response TO a resolution
OF the Hopse gives reasons in justification Of the

theseupon that the constitutional right OF the

provided in the Sith and 18th Articles of War ex-
actly how far an officer and soldier may obtain

DEFEAT OFITHE PROPOSED CENTRAL PACIFIC
INVESTIGATION.


WASHINGTON. Friday. June 10 1874.
The Honse Committee on the Pacific Railroads
this morning received report prepared by the sub
Committee collating the law and facts bearing on
Mr. Luttrcrs proposition for an Investigation into
the affairs of the Central Pacific Railroad aud the
Contract and Finance Company. After discussion
of the sub Committees report, Mr.. Sypher offered
resolution that in view of the action already
taken By Congress relative 10 the five per
centum fund and interest advances. the Commit
tee should be discharged from the further
consideration of Mr. Luttrelrs resolution. Mr..
Neal moved to amend this motion as TO provide
that the Committee shall advise the House TO adopt
Mr. Luttrell's resolution for investigation without
substantial alteration of its language. Before
vote could be taken on either motion, Mr.. Kilnger
offered a substitute for both propositions. The sub
sritute recites that allegations have been
made TO the House of representatives
affecting the integrity of the Central Paclhc
management and that by reason OF having granted
subsidies the Government Is interested IN the ques
lions involved. Therefore the substitute proposes
the appointment OF a Committee OF i've to lnves-
tigate during the recess of Congress all facts,
especiav those regarding the Contract and FINANCE
Company, and TO ascertain whether any officers OF
the Government have been implicated III the mat
