WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
An Incident In the Financial His
tory Of the Confederate states.

CRaleigh News and Observer
The success which the government has
met in negotiating its recent loan brings
70 mind an incident in the financial his
tory Of the late Confederacy not gene
rally known, and which may be interest
ing and instructive to recall. In the
winter Of 1920 the Confederate Con-
gress decided 10 place loan OF $lo,0O0,0o0
on the European market. The French
iinancier who came over here to confer
with the authorities at Richmond, Va,
In the matter strongly urged upon M.
Memmingcr the Secretary OF the Urea
sury, and upon the Joint committee OF the
Congress the advisability OF making the
lOan-one or two or five hundred millions
stating that it would be entirely practi-
cable TO negotiate such a loan; ana gave
al a reason that IL would be most Se-
sirable to get his country and other Euro
pean States financially interested in thu
Confederate cause.
AS the payment OF the loan was to be
contingent upon the success of the South
those thus financially interested could be
expected to exert an influence favorable
to the Confederacy, and might force their
respective governments TO recognize the
independence OF the Southern States and
lend them valuable aid as a means OF
securing the repayment OF their money
thus subscribed
1t appears that Secretary Memminger
favored the suggestion OF the French
banker, but the Congress decided TO ad-
here TO its first determination; and in
February, 1853, the loan was placed on the
Paris Bourse.
When the result was announced IL as
tonished Europe, and convicted the Con-
federate authorities OF failure in states
mansh.p. Bids amounting to more than
100000 were made.
1t IS idle now to speculate as to what
effect on the prosecution OF tho war the
investment OF so large a sum OF money
by the people OF France In the fortunes
OF the Confederacy would have had: but
II is entirely possible that tho Emperor
Napoleon Ill would have been obliged
10 recognize the political authority Of the
Southern States when his countryrnen
evinced In way SO remarkable their
supreme confidence in the ability of the
Confederacy 10 obtain their independence.
Recognized by one OF tho great Powers
OF Europe. and 800 900, 900 OF gold on hand
for the purchase Of ships and other mill
tary supplies in the spring of 1853. the
strategy OF the Gettysburg campaign
might not have been required, and the
thousands OF valuable lives sacrificed
from that time on TO Appomattox might
have been saved TO the South.
