It is curious fact that the great railways of
France, like those of America, have fallen
into the hands of millionares and bankers.
Originally railway shares were q favorite in
vestment with the small capitalists, but now
eighty per cent Of the capital of six leading
railroads in France is said to be in the hands
o. the great bankers. The Rothschuds near
y own the Northern, are largely interested in
the Western. and supply one director to the
Mediterranean. Periere, Bischoffsheim, La
fitte and Dollins are some of the banking
magEates whe have become railway kings.
not few rich noblemen being among the
number.

A story is told here of two pretty Baltimore
girls, who were out rowing on the Lake of
Lucerne, and when the barge of the King of
Holland came along, instead of trailing oars
and respectfully falling behind royalty, actu-
ally raced. The King was evidently amused
with this exhibition of American independ-
ence, and made a sign to his oarsmen to let
the young ladies go ahead. Coming to the
quay second, he told his coxswain to moor
the victors' boat, and said ''He knew they
were Americans - dshinqtOm Letter.

The Gold Exports.

Considering only the imports and exports
of merchandise, the balance of trade is not
less than $780, Co., 900 more favorable to the
United States for the year 1874 than it was for
the year 1872. Yet the drain of specie from
New York to Europe continues with as much
force as ever. Within the last five weeks
nearly ten millions have left us, and the COM
mercial supply is reduced to a very insignif-
cant amount in comparison with the
requirements of such port as
New York. These facts are
expecting to increase our supply of coin by
rectifying the balance of trade, and a remind
er of the Inconvenience to which the trade of
the country is subjected by the persistent re-
fusal Of the United States to make any use of
the precious metals as money. The gold
market, with the present restricted supply of
coin, can easily be manipulated by specula-
tors, and we need not say that the controlling
motive with them is not the welfare of the
mercantile community.
The true explanation of the continued call
for coin for expectation is the direction which
the savings Of the country are now taking
For some years there has not been such q
disposition on the part of savings banks, in
in United States bonds. The six per cent bonds
which are called in for payment in the pro-
cess of funding nearly all come from Europe,
and the ives Of the funded loan which take
their place, we are happy to say, have been
absorbed in large quantities by American in
vestors. In this way our international in
debtedness is reduced. It should also be said
tina. the field for the employment of money
in new enterprises, such as railroads, factor
les, ETC., is now unusually restricted, and the
investment of a portion of the savings Of
the people necessarily takes the form of
repurchase from Europe of some of the Sc
curities we have sold there in such vast guam
titles since the war. The state of the Euro
pean money markets is also favorable to the |
we have described. The influence !
being of comparatively permanent charac-
ter, their natural effect will be to increase the
value of gold, as compared with the paper |
money prices of the articles we sell for foreign
export If we increase our sales we must re- |
duce our prices. The securities imported can
only be paid for by commodities exported,
and it is self-evident, since the entire COM
mercial supply of gold in the Atlantic States
is not in the least excessive, that not much
more of that commodity can be spared, what
ever may be the wishes OF the European
banks.-Ne,o York Tribune.

TIE BULLETIN BANNER.

Yesterday there was quite gathering OF
many of the friends of the BULLETIN at our
Office to take part in the presentation of the
banner voted for between the different news
papers of this city. After the crowd had as
sembled, Mr.. J. McH Holmes stepped for
ward and, in graceful and modest manner,
said:
Gentlemen ofthe ". o. Bulletin-I have been
commissioned by the ladies forming the COM
mittee of arrangements in connection with the
recent festival held at the Odd Fellows Hall
under the auspices of the Louisiana Avenue,
Felicity and Carondelet street Methodist
Episcopal Churches, to hand you the magni6-
cent banner now before me, and fully APP
preciating the honor thus conferred upon me-
have pleasure in SO doing.
You have become entitled thereto by reason
of the number of votes castfon your behalf,
ex seeding those cast for your competitors,
and the constituted Returning Board unlike
that body of the same name which does not
return) have, without delay, declared you to
be the victors.
It is true you have been but short time
with us, yet during that time you have made
fearless defense of truth, right and justice,
and by your hearty cooperation in the recent
movement, by which, if for few days only,
Kellogg and his confreres were swept away
and the citizens of this, our downtrodden
State, for like time, felt they were free.
. These friends have voted for you, feeling,
as too feel. that to those who SO boldly
champion our cause do we owe all that can be
given by way Of recognition.
need not state that the ladies whom have
the honor of representing look up to you as
their protector, always ready and willing,
fearlessly and boldly to sustain them against
those who would trample upon their rights IS
free born citizens of this our beloved State;
they look up to you as their champion and
their sentiments find echo through me. They
heartily indorse your action in connection
with the recent attempt to introduce colored
children into our schools.
Rest assured the ancient spirit of chivalry
still exists in the maiden hearts of the South,
and SO long as Saxon blood shall course
freely throug h their veins will they rise and
Indignantly resent any invasion or attsmpt
to invade upon their rights In this they
both know and feel that in you they have
powerful ally, and I predict that the little
episode of this morning will tend to strengthen
and cement such feeling.

III RETURNING BOARD.
Anderson's Visitors.

8r ssnderson's house was yesterday

LEI 70 iutor hat it implies mischief Possibly
IL y cs. erence to determine what action
- .-sslI on the part of the board in
retgraae ID the twenty-three remaining
parishes, all but six of which gave large Con-
sentative majorities.
Besides the parish of Sabine, the board de-
cided on the cases Of VIM and Union par
fishes during the session of Thursday, and
viii return from both, Conservative represen-
tatives.
This gives the Conservatives forty Repre-
sentatives thus far, and allowing the Re-
publicans those parishes concerning
which, there is the least doubt, six in number,
the Conservative members of the House will
aggregate sixty-Gx. Aside from the six par
ishes mentioned, the protests of the Repub-
licans amount nothing; the ground upon
which they are based are rather indefinite,
and recite only general intimidation.
They appear to have offered these protests
on general principles, for they recite nothing
in particular. Only the most outrageous de-
cisions by the board can reduce the Conserva-
tive representation below the number given
sixty-six.
The board was convened at 100 O'Clock,
and Immediately went into session with
closed doors.
1t is understood that the majority of the re-
manning parishes were considered and the
returns from them prepared for PRONUNCIATION.
In the case of Carroll parish, Ola, Inde-
dependent candidate for the House, was de-
clared elected, although the statements of
votes cast according to the doctored returns)
show that Benham received plurality.

The opinions are very different that
are expressed by the papers respecting
the proposed bill to free Meiggs from
any unpleasant consequences of his for.
mer deinquencies. Some are in favor
Of it. and some against. The principle
OF the thing looks to be wholly bad.
The man was either innocent or guilty,
and if innocent, he did not need the bill,
and if guilty he did not deserve it. 1t is
droll arrangement altogether to pardon
a man before he is convicted, and pro-
hibit Courts from inquiring into the
guilt or innocence of particular indi-
vidual, and do all this simply because he
is rich, certainly offers an example that
is dangerous and questionable in all its
phases.

The citizens of Wadsworth, Nevada,
are the close neighbors of Rev. G. A.
Bateman; and the great care he has taken
of the Indian in that State has awakened
their gratitude. The unkind attacks
made upon him by some parties who are
not friends of the unfortunate tribes in
that State, has aroused the indignation
of the people. Mr.. Batemau has laid
open for public investigation all his do
ings, has published transcript OF all his
receipts and expenses, and comes out of
the penance as an honest and goodly
man.
