what Country has the Largest Ma
ttOnaI Debt?

Atthe last date for which statistics are in
hand, Great Britain had the largest debt.
That was in March, 1875, when the debt
OF that country was So, 1916, OO0, 900, reck-
oning the pound sterling at FIVE dollars.
In the preceding January the debt of
France, according to the Statesman's
Ye + Book" for 1877, was So, 100, 1881, l29,
counting FIVE francs to the dollar. This
debt was then the second in magnitude.
Some writers have stated the French
debt to be as much as $4,000, geo, 900.
Probably the true amount is somewhat
above that nrst given, as in 1875. France
must have had q good del of floating
and temporary Indebtedness that had
not at the time been converted into
rentes, and the "Statesmsn's Year
Book" gives only the capital of the
rentes. But those who put the French
debt at $4,000, 900, 900 must include mu.
nicipal and other local indebtedness,
much Of which was incurred for war pur.
poses during the late conflict with Ger
many. There is probably not much diff.
ference between the debts of France and
Great Britain at the present moment.

The announcement of this vote had a

having, apparently, paid a great del OF
attention to the vote until it was thus
made known. For a time the members
were 10 a autter of excitement, as they
looked upon this as having settled the
question and much anxiety was ex-
pressed to have the vote reconsidsred,
which was done by thirty.1even to tF'rty-
three.
The speaker now add to the excite
ment prevailing by announcing that the
bill had failed, it not having received O
constitutional majority. But after the
adjournment of the house the speaker
Investigated the matter and found that a
constitutional majority was only required
on bills on third reading.
A strong effort will be made to put the
senate bill through. The Democrats
seem a little uneasy, the Republican
members having unanimously voted
against every proposition, as if they had
determined to let the Democrats bear the

Of one having given Darrell's witnesses
away aud produced this correspondence,
which exposes the whole conspiracy. By
these documents, and by corroborative
testimony, it is shown that large sums Of
money we're paid the parties testifying
for Darrell. Acklin contemplates pro,
ceedings against these parties in the
State court. Acklin's friends claim that
the only object Of the prosecution
against Loud by Darrell was to delay the
case before the congressional committee.
