FRENCH TAWTION AND THE TE11M4 OF PEACE. From the X I". Time. Tbe pocuniary indemnity which Germany demands of France is simply enorm us. There is, after the tleclnration by M. Thiers, no repson to doubt that it has been correctly reported. i'rauce has purchased yeaca, there fore, at a price which seems absolutely mia ous, and which, if ever paid, will give her the unenviable distinction of Laving t.ne heaviest publio debt iu the world. At to. beginning of 1870 tbe official statement of tbe public debt shows a total uf !j2,(()i),()()i), 000. During 1870 three loans wero con tracted wbieb, wbeu capitalized, will amount at least to $100,000,000. The war exoan.li ture, which the uatiou has mill to cover by a duly authorized loan, cannot be less thm another $20f,0(M,000. Germany nor de mands $1,000,000,000, and if Franoe can borrow thin at all, it will only be on hiiiv terms aa must increase the capital of tun obligation by one-hulf, aud so make the in demnity actually reach tbe iigure of $1,50;), 000,000. Suppose at the end of three or more, probably of Bix yearn, France should be able to pay tbis enormous bill, sbe will find herself iu the possession of a national debt which reaches the alarming total of $4,700,000,000. We think it extremely questionable whether the money markets of the world will take up, even by instalments, the prodiioin sum which tbe French negotiators propose to raise. The sensational oiler which yesterday's telegrams attribute to Baron llothschild is in the last degree improbable. To financiers the question has three elements, each mutu ally affecting each other. The first reUtes to the probable stability of the Government to be selected by the French people; the second, to tbe amount of the loan likely to be sub . scribed for by France herself; aud the third, to the expaosiveness of French taxation. Suppose a constitutional inoutrchy to be securely established in France, it is highly probable that the capitalists of tun country would subscribe to the fab measure of their ability for a share of the national burden. The Orleaaists are in favor with the commercial aud moneyed classes, and would, in the estimttion of then sections of the people, and probably in tint of Europe at large, be credited with a larger expectation of existence than auy republic, however moderate. It must not, however, ho forgotten that the comparative facility witn which the Empire raised money arosu I ro u it sucoess in drawing out the heard-t of petty proprietors and tradesmen from the very nnproductive places of deposit which still find favor with this class of Frenchmen. I is extremely doubtful whether either Orlo.iu- lsts or Republicans would have, for ho:uj time at least, the same success, while tun extent to which Prussian requisitions hive depleted these private accumulations render them at the same time less available, and will make their possessors incliued to hold on with more than accustomed teuacity to what remains. Iu au economical poim. of view, a moderate republic mignt hive this advantage over a monarchy, that it could push the reduction of the army and the fleet to a lower point. Neither of the u could, to auy sweeping exteut, rluou tue cost of civil administration, aud exist iu France for a single day. The figure of dfty three millions of dollars which we previously gave as the limit to which reduction of a i nual expenditure could be carried, could hardly be exceeded by a monarchy, aud could only be passed with""somo ditlidulty by a strong and moderate republic. The ultimate question must therefore be, what amount of fiesh taxation can be boruo by France without crippling her energies, and therefore defeatiug its own purpjsei Take the most favorable view of tbe osm, and assume that the annual expenditure of France can be reduced sufiljienily to cover these three items of deiioit; first, the ten or twelve millions of revenue which, even uuder the reduced territorial cession, will be lost to the national treasury; second, the per petually recurring yearly detioit of some thirty millions, which formed so notable a character of the imperial budgets; aud thir l, the large decrease in the taxable resources of France resulting from the war. Eveu uu der a supposition so favorable, aud one wh.se realization will call for administrative ener gies of a very high order, there still remains an annual increase of at least ninety millions of dollars of interest on the $ 2, 100,000, OOi) of debt which the events of 1870-71 will be found to have added to the liabilities of Fraaoe. The main sources of French revenue are J the land taxes, taxes on trade and personal property, post-office and customs, aud excise and monopolies. Nearly twenty five per cent, of the entire revenue is derived from what is called the registration and stamp duties, which are chietly levied upon land in the indirect manner of a tit npon transfers, either by sale or testa uont, of real estate. Proprietors pay directly another nine per oent. of the entire revenue raised by the National Government in the form of Fonoier tax, besides paying a simi lar amount to the local governments. It has been pointed out that, assuming the real estate of France to be worth six hundred and thirty millions of dollars, it is already directly taxed to the amount of tea pur cent., and indirectly by the registration duties to another five per cent. That any more can be got out of it either by the looal or National Governments, is hardly to be credited by any one familiar with the tem per of the peasant proprietors of Franoe. The excise duties on alcoholics liquors, and the tobacco and powder monopolies, yield abont thirty-five per cent, of the entire reve nue. Tbe prospects of an available increase in this direction are also exceedingly meagre. The Post Office yields five per cent., and the customs eight per cent., of the total revenue. An attempt will doubtless be mtde to increase the income from the latter source, probably at tbe expense of the reciprocity treaties with England, Belgium, and Switzer land. The chief effect of this will probably be to enrich French manufacturers and to make the problem of livlug rather harder to the mass of the people, without having any appreciable resnlt on the reveuu. France has no income tax, but it has a per sonal and furniture tax, a tax ou doors an i windows, and a trade liceuse tax, yiol i iDg between them eight per cent, of the entire revenue, which closely resemble it These are already considered heavy, and coma not ue increaseu witooui o.-tiisiut : .1 11 1 r m ' evasions mat wouui ue.ieat me enu oi making tLem more productive. Iu short, wuieh- ever way the French financier turns he lludi a coujn-unity already heavily burdened, an! one wkofee tax-paying power cau only iu creape with an increase of resources A more soimtifio distribution of taxttion is ponnible, but an increase under the present conditions fan only b very partial and very quehtii ffd'ly productive. This is a fact which tbe odii iiiisl intors at h me nuist be at one pif-pNTfd to facie, and which the lander hbrcmd ate not likely to lose sight of.

HARSHNESS OF THE TEUXH OF PECE. trmn tn, A. I. Horhl Hih ruthless seveiitj of Germany in her treatment of her prostrate victim is almost UMeiHd!y condemned by the press of this conntiy, and ho fur a the cable bus yet. given us tb n.eiiiis of judging, it is equally repro bated in England. It is nnwor hy of a great til d uiHgiihiiiiuoiis p op'e, like the G4riuus, Mid oi.tmii the eifinl opinion of the lisiighty HrrngHi.ce' of Bismarck aud the des potic lntL-nek of bis imperial master. Bat it is quite m-cotdnut -tith their knon char acter that, iu the hour of triumph, they "feel potr and forget light." The inarch though Paris is a trivial thing in itt-df; but, being trivial, it might have been forborne. It cau hr ug no advautagt to GerniHiiy, and tends to ex-isprtte a brve Biid sensitive people. On ev.ry grouud of expedient y it is impolitic, for it interferes with that Mibunsive hc 'eptanca of the terms of pence which is equally lor the iuterest of Geimai'y nncl of France. It is a mere display of triumphant insolence, as insulting to the fallen as it is pro(ilr,i to the victors, and alike repugnant to heroic magnanimity and Cbnsfian civilization. What possible good can it do anybody thus to pour vitriol ou the w ncds of blt-ediug Frauce, au t rake the embers of national animosity? The true rule whs aptly expressed iu one of Jefferson's terse phrases in our immortal Declaration of Iudc-peiidenoe "enemies in war, in peace friends." If Germauy desires relation of friendship with France now that the war is ended, why should she m ke this exaspera ting diHplay of triumphant insolence, of no advantage to her aud a pestilent emoarrass mtriit to the French authorities intrusted with the preservation of pcae iu the cou qnered city ? We allude to this barbarou parade because it exemplifies the spirit of the couquerer, and displays the arronfc temper which his dictated the terms of the treaty. It Germany wdl not sp ire France a humiliation which is of.no advantage to her self, she -f ciouise has uot beeu considerate or megiiHinmous in exacting more substan tial penalties. Ihe cession of territory and important fortresses was expected, aud i accordingly acquiesced in by the publio opinion of the world on the same priumplei that men accept accomplished facts. But the cession is nevertheless exacted on fals pretenses. It is hot necessary to the future security of Germany, who was stroug enough to defend herself before, and is now doubly stroug by the consolidation of her empire and the prostration of her neighbor. She has tiiken Alsace and tbe fortresses, not be cause slio ban anything to fear from France, but only because the is oovetous and Htroug. It is au application of the old Inn I'Hrous uiHxiui that might makes ngbt. t We do uoMisprxte the ii;ht; b it it is i he right of conquest, that is to say, the ribt ot the strong to pilUe the weak. Q nr iiihiij would not iliitrust her ability to defend bersel if the fori line of wur h td not tzivmi her this advantage. Iu tbe a hires which Napoleon made to his soldiers when he went to the front to take comiu.invl in the 1-itter part of July, he sail: "The war which now commences will be long and harily contested, for its theatre will be place bedged with obstacles ami thick with for tresses. Th'H was ntternd at a time wbeu the Emperor bad complete confidence in his army and in tbe victoi io is sulfi jiency of his u.iliihrv pieparatiotia, and may therefore be accepted as a proof of the great defensive strength of Genua vy with hr former boun daries. If her means of resistance a tiust France were so formidable when Fraaoe ranked as the first military p lwer of Europe, the same "planea hedged with obstacles and thick with fortresses" would be surely ade quate for defense against a crippled and de bilitated nation. Germauy has not tkeu Alsace aud the French for ti esses because they are necessary to ber ssfety, but because her sword is sharp enough to defend her rapaoity. A nation so btroug should scorn the caut about future se curity, aud say with houest arrogauce that she dismembers France by the right of con quest. There is always something respecta ble iu truth, aud au houest avowal of real motives. The pretense that tbe heavy money exac tion is meant as au iudnmuity for the ex penses of the war is also a sailing under false colors. The money exaction is in truth nothing more nor less than an extreme exer cise of tbe right of conquest. We do not dispute tbe right of conquest: it is unques tionably a part or the laws of war. But Christian civilization aud modern publio opinion have outgrown the barbarous cole, and it is for this reason that Germany seeks to gloss over her conquest by canting pretenses. Quite apart from conquest and indemnity, she is a great gainer by the war. It baa raised her to the first rank among European nations. It has covered her with a military splendor which Germans will regard as their proudest boast as long as Ger many exists as a nation. It hedges her about with a formidable prestige which proteots her against future Hssaiilts. It has reduoed her most powerful neighbor to an inferior rank. It has enlarged the area and consolidated the strength of a great nation. If Bismarck, the shrewdest statesman of Europe, had it iu hi power to restore the ttntuu quo of the 1st of July, hy aooeptiug a full uiouey compensa tion for all the expeuses since incurred, ha would scorn and deride the offer. There is not a statesman in Germany, there is not a statesman out of Germany, who does not be lieve tbat tbis war is worth to that country ten times its cost. Tbe additions which its suooessful prose cution, its resplendent blaze of victories, it grand domestic consequences in the unifica tion of Germany, have amade to national strength, dignity, and prestiga are inoalouU- Lle. The pretense, therefore, that Germany needs a money compensation to make her whole for injuries done her by France, l ridiculous. The simple truth is that, finding herself aide to oppress and despoil ber sub jiifehted victim, she uses her power without sciuple ulu without mercy." bus "feels power and forgets right" or, at least, forgets generosity and truth, for her exactions are not geneiouR und are made under canting false pre femes. We could respeot her more if she boldly avowt d that sbe stauds simply on the liht tf eonqueat which belongs to Ltr lv the laws of war. When, it may be bsked, has any victorious nation evtr forborne to take full advantage of the right of conquest ? We answer, that th United States once sot an example in this reppect, which invents with great moral au thority the condemnation which our people puss upon the spoliation of Franoe. In our war with Mexico we took its capital, as Ger many bas taken the capital of Franoe. Mex ico lay prostrate and helpless at our feet, as France lies at the feet of Germany. By the right of conquest we could have taken as ninth territory as we pleased, and Mex icn could not have resisted. We wanted territory, but we did not extort it by the mere exercise of power, peace we purchased New By the treaty of Mexico aud Cali- fornia, paying for them pitying as much for them their full value, as President Jef and all the mag- let ton gave for Louisiana nincent territory which stretches between the Mississippi river and tbe Rocky Moun tains. Moreover, we stipulated to pay claims of our own citizens against Mexico amount ing to nearly four millions of dollars. So far from exacting a money indemnity for our military expenses, we paid for the terri tory we acquired all that we ought to hve give n for it if Mexico had made a free sale in time of peace. Our forbearance and magna nimity present such a contrast to the rapacity and extortions of Germany, that the moral reprobation expressed by our people cannot be turned against themselves. Having con tributed to raise the standard of international ethics by our example, we cannot stultify oar selves by abjuring in theory the generous forbearance we have exemplified in practice. THE PROPOSED DARIEN SHIP CANAL THE NEW ROUTE. From the JV. Y.Wrald. From our special correspondent accom panying the Darien Isthmus Exploring Ex pedition, under (Jommander belt r id se, United States Navy, we published yesterday (with an accompanying map) some very interesting letters, descriptive of the new ship canal route discovered between the Gulf of Darien, on tbe Atlantic side, and the Gulf of San Miguel on the Pacific From these letters we are strongly drawn to the conclusion that the great problem is solved, and that, per haps, a few years hence, our trading vessels between New York and San Francisco, by crossing the Istbraus from the Gulf of Darien, will entirely cut oif and save the long, tedious, and dangerous circuit of Cape Horn and the South Amercan Continent. We have heretofore regarded the Nicaragua route as immeasurably the most feasible, the most inviting and the most advantageous of all the isthmus routes proposed for a ship canal. Between New York and San Francisco It is over a thousand miles shorter than the proposed Darien route; and a British engi neer, Captain Pym, Royal Navy, after a cire f ul exploration of the Nicaragua route, has estimated that a ship canal, with locks, may here be opened between the two oceans at the small expense of about twenty millions of dollurs. Tbe dividing plateau (that occu pied by the great Lakes Nicaragua and Mana gua) is only three hundred feet above the sea level. The distance between Lake Nicaragua arid the Pacific is fiffeen miles, which by this route is a'l the canal excavation that will be absolutely necessary; for from the outlet of tbe lake on its eastern side (the San Juan river) the river, by locks and dams, may be made navigable to the Atlantio for the largest ships all the year round. Louis Napoleon (the present exile at mlheltnsuoue) was so fasoi Bated with the commanding advantages of this route that he saia the power which, with a ship canal, shall hereafter hold those two lakes, Nicaragua and Managua, will hold a dominating naval and commercial position in the West equal to that of Constantinople in the East tbat, iu short, the little town of Masssya, between those aforesaid lakes, is destined to be the (Jonstantinople of America. A glance at the map of North and Central America will be sufficient to convince the in telligent reader that Louis Napoleon, in his enthusiastic admiration of the Nicaragua route for a ship canal, was not far out of the way. But, notwithstanding the fact that Commodore Yanderbut, with his California line of heavy draught steamships, has shown tbat the harbor on each side of this route is sufficient for practical purposes, neither of those harbors Is all tbat could be desired. The harbor of San Juan especially is shallow. open, and exposed, and that on the Pacifio side is too contracted for the purposes of a continental isthmus canal and its great squa drons of commercial ships which, with and after tbe opening of 'he canal, will always be gsinerea at notn enas oi tne line. The new route discovered by Commander belfrulge at Darien amply meets all the re qnirements of a deep, capacious, and secure haibor at both ends of tbe line, and, we think, too, of a canal without lockages.- The Gulf of Darien, on the Atlantic side, and the Gulf of San Miguel, on the Pacifio, eaoh leads into a deep, capacious, and seoure harbor, and tbence into a navigable fresh water river. It is thought that, although from the mouth of the Atrato river, on this side, to the mouth of the Tnyra, on the other side, the route will probably not exceed one hundred and twenty-five oiiles, the extent of the route to be excavated will not exceed fifty miles, and that the summit level of the dividing ridge to be overcome will be less than three hun dred feet above the sea, or say two hundred above tbe present river navigation. The men of our exploring expedition lead us to these estimates from a preliminary reconnoissanoe of a single route between the waters of the Atrato and tbe Tnyra. Eaoh of these rivers has numerous branches interlocking in the sinuosities of the slender backbone of the continent in tbat quarter, and it is believed tbat a still lower conneoting depression than that discovered will be found. But tbe route indicated as reported will do. We conclude from our correspondent's details of it tbat it is available for a ship canal by a tbiough cut, at less than half the cost of the Suez Canal. In other words, we estimate that a ship canal by the Darien route indioated, whereby a ship may sail straight through from ocean to ocean without lookage, may be excavated at half the cost required to open the Suez Canal. We have great hopes of the complete success of this exploration of the route suggested, and with its sucoess the dullest landsman will begin to comprehend the advantages of St. Domingo as the half way house between New York and the Golf of Darien.
