EFFECT or THE TURKISH WAR ON
ENGLISH CAPITAL.
London Cor. N. Y. World.

The eastern difficulty has produced one
very noteworthy result-it has caused the
withdrawal of very large amount Of
English capital from Russian loans.
People begin to see that a war with
Russia would cause a terrible loss to
this country of money actually invested,
and that such a war is by no means i'm
probable. A few months ago Russian
bonds were among the securities recon-
mended by even the most conservative
Of banking houses. They were regarded
as perfectly safe. During the last seven
or eight weeks holders of such bonds
have been constantly unloading, and
there has consequently been cOnsidera-
BILE fall in prices. Almost all foreign
government bonds are, in fact, now re-
garded with great suspicion, except those
of the United States. England has been
for years a great lending country, but
repeated losses have now induced her to
tie up her purse strings, and resolutely
to say "No" to every newcomer. The
Times of yesterday in its money article
suggests that few more railroad wars in
America, like those of the New York
Central, Erie and others, "and English
capital will avoid American railway en-.
terprise altogether" If any such feel
ing is produced it will be because Of the
lack of discrimination usually shown by
Mr.. John Bull in selecting fields for his
investments. The present city editor Of
the Times might perhaps proftably study
out that subject, instead Of decrying, or
appearing to decry, American railroads
altogether. Another journal advises
people not to put their money in "any
foreign loan whatever" But it does not
90 on to tell them what they are to do
with it. There is a great deal of sur
plus wealth in the country, and it can
mot find an outlet here. Do English
railroads pay such excellent dividends
If they do, have ney or heard Of 1t.

them into captivity The only alterna-
tive has been resorted to, viz, shooting
them with the rife, and this has been
practised to some extent on many Of the
runs, and their number in particular
localities greatly dimished; but more
sympathetic action is wanted before
they are extcrminated. The habits of
these wild droves are precisely similar
to their South American relatives,
stallion being in command of each troop,
and at the first appearance of danger
actively rounding up his mares and foals
and leading them of. If the Australian
bushman was as practised with the lasso
as he is with the stockwhip the beasts
might be captured, but he would require
to be we'll mounted, and some hard
riding would have to be done before he
could claim the victory.

WILD HORsEs IN AUSTRALIA.
From the Chitago Field.

In some of the northern districts of
Victoria troops of wild horses greatly
infest some of the runs. The produce of
some escaped animals, they have multi
piled to such an extent as to become a
serious nuisance, and all attemps to cap

1t will thus be seen with the pres
ent distribution of the revenues,
there will remain each year in the
Sinking Fund, after the payments
which the Constitution requires, over
a million and quarter of dollars,
and when it is remembered that the
amount of interest to be paid will
annually decrease, and the receipts
be greater, owing to the natural ac
cretion of the taxes, the amount of
this balance will be augmented from
year to year. If this surplus is an
nually applied to the extinguishment
of the debt, careful calculation will
show, that in ten years the entire in
debtedness of the State will be re-
deemed. However desirable this re-
duction may be aud gratifying as it
certainly would be to the Executive,
under whose administration a large
portion of it would be made, vet the
dimiuation of the taxes in 1873, TO
the amount of one million of dollars,
and the five hundred thousand dol
lars additional expenses made neces-
sary by the new Constitution in be-
half of common schools, the Judi
ciary and Legislature, aud the claims
OF deserving public charities, forbid
this large reduction as the revenues
are now distributed. By another
calculation it appears that by taking
one-thrd of the corporation tax,
which the Legislature assigned to the |
Sinking Fund, aud dedieating this
one-third to the uses of the general
fund, the whole Indebtedness can
still be liquidated in fifteen years.
Without additional taxation, a fund |
may thus be created, that with the /
other revenues of the general fund, /
will, with prudent management, pos
sibly be sufficient to meet all the
necessary and proper expenses of the

there remained in the Sinking Fund

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.

There is no political problem that
at the present time, occasions so
much just alarm, and is obtaining
more serious and anxious thought
than the government of cities, whose
administration in many sections of
the country is fraught with perils,
not only to the material prosperity
of cur people but to the welfare and
permanence OF the Republic. 1t is
not therefore incumbent upon those
who are charged with the conduct of
public affairs, as well as those who
are concerned for the good and honor
of the country, to carefully and dill
gently inquire into the causes of
these mischiefs that attend upon the
rule Of our cities, and see if thev
spring from or are the actual devel-
opment of any inherent defect in the
existing system of government, or
are the outcome of merely tran
silent tendency to extravaganza, that
by its abuse will work its own ef-
fectual cure. a glance at the enor-
nous debts and stupendous schemes
Tor public improvements undertaken
and in progress, or in contemplation
by the numerous cities of the coun-
try, is sufficient inducement to this
investigation, and will convince the
mos, skeptical that a speedy and rad
zeal remedy must be found to arrest
these extravagant expenditures or the /
credit Of our cities will be DESTROYED; !;
and reputation, to which resort
some have already been driven, will
be the only recourse from ruin. 1t
will not do to mock at the voice of
warning and entrench ourselves in the
belief that the natural growth of our
cities and the consequent accumula-
ton of wealth and appreciation of
property therein, will liauidate all the
bonds this generation can impose
upon the next, fer experience and his
tory alike teach that extravagauce
