II the failure OF the Senate yesterday to
take the final step 10 complete the passage
of the bill TO equalize soldiers bounties has
resulted in a good deal OF disappointment, it
should be consolation TO those whom the
bill was intended TO benefit TO know that
their loss is Uncle Sans gain, since the fail
ure OF the measure saved the government a
large sum, estimated all the way from
oo,0o0 to S1J0,OJ0 900, at a time when the
money cannot be spared. The President will
doubtless be censured in some quarters for
not signing the bill after il had been enrolled
and had received the signatures OF the
Speaker of the House and the President of
the Senate, but had he done so the bill would
undoubtedly have been declared null and
void by the courts, since the Senate had re-
fused TO formally accept the conferees' report.
That this report was in fact the bill as il had
previously passed the Senate made no differ
ence in the status OF the bill. the acceptance
OF the report was necessary to the final pas
sage OF the bill, and IL Is understood that the
Senate, in laying the report on the table
acted deliberately and with intent TO kill the
measure.

How the French Paid the Five Mil.
lizards.

When five years ago France, under the
conditions of her treaty with Germany
promised to pay five milliaris, or 81 900 oOO,-
COO TO the latter as the condition of peace, IL
was generally predicted that the financial
equilibrium of Europe would be upset by the
transfer or so vast sum from one country
10 another, and that the whole system of in
ternational monetary relationship would be
thrown into confusion. And yet, the whole
of this vast transaction was carried out be-
tween LIST June. 1871, and 5th September, 1873,
(twenty-seven months, ) and not one serious
difficulty or disorder was produced by it. The
fact was, as set forth by q Bldckuood writer
that the commercial world had no idea ofits
own power, and failed altogether to suspect
that its own current operations were alrea iy
SO enormous that even the remittance of five
milliards from France to Germany could be
grated on to them without entailing any
material perturbation.
IL is now estimated that the entire cost to
France OF her disastrous campaign with
Germany amounted directly and indirect
1y To 3, $50 600 900. That this enormous sum
has been successfully shouldereI, and the
sl,cco,oOo.Ooo paid over promptly to Germany
Shows, first, that France is vastly rich; sec
ond, that the trade of Europe has attained
such magnitude that figures are ceasing to
convey Its measure; and third, that the ag-
sregate commercial action of nations is a
lever which can Lift any financial load what
ever The transaction is an admirable piece
OF international banking, and in the econ
omy OF Its management should teach a lesson
10 American fnanciers. Another instructive
SESSION Is furnished in the illustration here
given OF the wealth brought 10 a country
through having the rest OF the world as Gus
toners France has no gold mines, iron
mines, or other extensive mineral resources
such as the United States abOunds in, but
She draws the money of the world TO her to
pay for her exquisite fabrics and manufac
1ured products, and thus becomes enormously
wealthy, while the United States, in the very
height OF Its wonderful resources, seems to be
buying from Europe more than Ii sells. and
n steady drain of money Is going across the
water 10 pay the difference.
