The revolution In tho Dnnubian Principalities
(Moldavia aod Walachta) tlioiiKh lastlna onlv
a few hours, and allecting poaco neither at home
nor abroad, hR8 appeared sufficiently srrave to
the ?reat powori ot Europo to cause thorn to
airreo without hesitation upon the Immediate
convocation or a European ConsreBs. Tbe revo-
lution took place on February 23, and on March
10 the Conference of tho representatUei of the
European powers held its first meeting at Tans,
under the Presidency ol M. Droiiyn de Lhuys.
Wo bare as yet uothtnjr but vasrtie rumor
conceniinfr the intentions of tho Great Powers,
Ihc Diet ol the Principalities ha awUn declared
In an cinphatio manner its desire lor their per
manent union. At tho former Connresi which
was held on this question, all the I'owera were
willing' to grant the nationnl demand, except
Austria, tho protest of,which against the per
manent union was the canse of the firman of
the Bultan, dated November 12, 1861. granting
ihe union only provisionally for the lifetime of
Prince Couza. Irorn the language ot the omi
oitieial oraan of the Kuesiuu tlovomment, it
would seem that at present Uussialtnot lavorable
to the continuance of tbe union, and may use its
influence t r re-entahlisbluo: a reparate govern
nieni for both Moldavia and Wallaohia.
For Turkev, .Austria, and Itusala, tho three
powerful neighbors of tho Principalities, te
que: lion of the union ot the latter is a matter
of considerable importance. For Turkey, the
permanent union of the Principalities means an
imrortant step towards complete emancipation
from Turkish rule. ForAustria.it means tne
consolidation of a new nationality which has
nearly 3,000,000 of the same race still living
under Austrian rule, who cannot fail ere long
to dnit as cer'tinly towards a union with an
Independent Roumanic State, as Venitia has
long bfCD drllt ng towards a union witn Italy.
For Russia, the consolidation of a Roumanlo
nationality on the niouih ot the Danube means
a new obstaclo to tho conquest of European Tur
key by the Solavic race.
Besides the establishment of a permanent
' union, the Diet of the Principalities has taken
the very tint opportunity to express again, by
the election of tbe Count ot Flanders as Hospo
dar, tbelr desire for a prince from one ot the
reigning houses ot Europe. This also is 1n oppo
sition to the s.ipaliition arcd upon at a former
ronierence of the European powers, which de
clared only natives ot the two Principalities
eligible tor the dUnlly of HosDodar. The elec
tion of a loreljrn ptince would be the natural
supplement of tho permanent Union. It would
constitute the establishment of an independent
Roumanic nationality and empire, which could
not well remain in a tributary relation to Tur
key, and could hardly further tho plans of either
lius.va or Austria.
By many it is believed that the Conference,
once assembled, will also occupy Itsolt with the
question of the Duchies ot Sclileswig and Hoi
stein, which has recently led. to ruvo misunder
standings between Austria ami Prussia. Tho
next arrival from Europe will probably give us
F0IP6 further information on the object of the
Conference and on the vieivs oi the several
numbers. ,
Our Present Army A Call for Immediate
iteuuction.
Fr m tho Time.
We suppose the people of the couutry in gene
ral wero considerably astouistn d on learning, by
the statement iust communicated to Congress by
tho Secretary ol War, that thde are still in tne
service and pay of tho Uuited States over ono
hundred and Oily thpusand troops ! It is all bat
a year since Lee surrendered, and tho work for
' which, our army was TuLsed was finished. It was
almost immediately thereupon that General
Grant beqan his famous labor of reducing the
' military establishment, which gave him as much
renown as his warlike achievements. We know
that Irom midsummer till the close of the year
tne work; woe carried on vigorously, and tno,
tramp of returning veterans was perpetual all
over tho Union.
When Cougres met in December, Secretary
Stuion was ablo to announce that of tne mil
lion men in our service seven months before,
"over eight hundred thousand hnd been mus
tered out i f service." Tliis showed tho muster
in" out to have been eoing on up to that time at
the rate of considerably over one hindred
tlwuand per month. It appears, however, that
during the lour months that have elapse. I since
his report was written, the work of mustering
out has been very nearly stopped, for as there
'were less than two hundred thousand on the
rolls on tbe 22d of November last, and there are
still 152,011, there cannot have been over forty
thousand difchars,ed since then, or ten thousand
per mom h.
It was impossible, of course, that the work of
reduction shoulu have gone on lor even another'
n orth at'er ti e Secretary's report wus written,,
as it had been done in the months preceding bo
cause, in the trst place, of thi comparatively
limited number of troops left; and becitise, iii
the second, there were no ereat concentrated
bodies then existing, ,vhich could be dismissed
' en masse. The troops were scattered over the
Fouthf ar and near, in small detachments and
garrisons. Many of these, from local or other
causes, could not at once be called in; and in
many other cacs new distributions had to be
made of a variety of bociies, in a given locality,
before any oiie Vould be withdrawn. But we
uniKt fay, cons'der ng the many calls and
ground tor urgency in the case, that we cannot
but tl. irk thata much greater degree of ao .lvity
might have been displayed than appears by tho
Secretary's statement has been.
W are sure that at least ten thousati 1 per
month might, without difficulty have b.en paid,
; miibtcred out, and transported home: and the
, dnlerence that even this would have made in
the expenses of tbe Government and the taxa
tion ot tho people is one that no man, no-a-days
. nt least, will regard as inconsiderable. At one
tinielKst year there was a difficulty in the way of
obtaining sufficient transportation, and at,
another there was an alleged difficulty lu tho
way of procuilng the nocensary mou sy to pay
the men oil. But there have been no s icb dltli
cultics during the last four months. The Gov
ernment ha9 had a euperabun. lance of trans
portation at its command, nml the resources of
Secretury McCuiloch have been a hunlred-folJ
ample tor anv demands in the way ot the pay
ment of troops.
We do not for a moment, however, hold Secre
tary Stanton hi any way culpable or lesponwble
for dilatoriiiess or indisposition in the prosecu
tion o I this matter. We know definitely what
his ideas are as to tbe desired strength of tho
army. In his report he proposes ita reduction
to liity thousand troops. We know also his en
eretlc force in tbe execution of his purposes.
Hie Secretary bus undoubtedly boon deferring
to ascertain tho action of Congress as to tho
mapnitudo, composition, and ciiaraeter of our
permanent arm v. There have been proposi
tions before it lor a military estitblisbuient
a In out ns large as that w hich suit remains; and
weie some of the policies towards theBouth
' that have been advocated put iuto legal and
pi'tti tii'iil shape, we certainly do not think it
would be sale to go on much further with the
r d notion ot the arm v. This matt. : of the per
manent army we are to retain is one of tho very
tirst upon which t'ouerc's should have taken
' aoiiou. Every wePk's delay means heavier bur
dens for the already overburdened people,
means higher living, deeper poverty, uud a
graver finunoiul a t nut ion.
fr'mi-ijjry fcitantomj in his laht annual report,
put 'r.i tho military (Miniates tor the current
(i a' yur, itiier careful revision, at something
ULi.iv.hut -four millions of doUursi$33,&M,4Gl)
In his statement to Congross the oth .r day he
estimated the annual expense ot the army, as
now organized and distributed, at over on t hun
dred and twenty millions of dollars t ($liO,30?,
878.) But as order have be.n issued tor tha
mustering out of forty thousand troops, he Is
able to reduce tbe estimate ot tho annual ex
pense subsequent to this part to an aisrrona:o of
e'fjhty-soven millions ($7,362.769),' or twenty
millions more than double the estimate he nutdo
tor the year's military expenses in DecembT
last. This, we assuio Congress, will appear,
not a trivial, but a very serious con
sideration to tho people. Memb r ass u rod If
edify and entertain us with thoir eigsntio
political orations; but we woald be better enter
tained and moro highly edified by a perusal of
their votes on tho right side for a bill rodutln
tbe army, nd thereby limit ng our taxes. Sena
tor Wibjon's bill, which, as jimcndod, provides
for reducing tho standing army to lllt.v tnousand
men, passed the Senate, after long delav, two
weeks ago. Wt hope the House will take
neither lour months, nor as many weeks, for Its
consideration. We hope no membor will arue
for a larger force, or will detract us by argu
ments upon tbe negro-soldier question. Lot it,
we ask, be tsken up at once, acted upon, and
Bent to the PrRi(!ent tor his signature, thai the
Secretary of War may promptly put lta provi
sions iuto effect.
Currency nnd Finance The Financial
Centre ol the AVot id Baron Roths
child's Evidence.
Frrm the Herald,
Wepublished a few dayj ago the highly Interest
ing examination of Baron J. de Rothschild by the
Superior Council of Commerce at Paris, on '"the
principles and general facts which regulate
monetary and paper circulation." The well
known character and position ot this groa
fiiisncter give much weight to his testimony
Tbe President ot that import nt body before
which he testified, M. Rouher, soomod to fully
appreciate this when he said to M. Roths
child, "On account of the extreme Im.
portance oi your opinions, and of your
great exrerience, I think it useful to refer
to certain polnW Aud again, "U is theroiore,
not for us that you speak, but for the publlu,
woo win roaa rue aocuments we snau puoiisn.
You muat understand the importance we ascribe
to opinions expressed by such an imposing
authority as you are on such matters.
The subject that chiefly eugased the attention
Of tne Council, and aliout whicn they inquired
of M. Rothschild, was as to tne position and
Principles ot management ot the banks ot
France and Eng. and and their power over the
trade and financial affairs ot tbe world. The
object appears to have been to ascertain how
tar tho Bank of Frauce could extond its power
and usefulness, both in tho empire end through
out the world, by any modification of its pre
sent system. The Council seemed particularly
desirous of knowing to what extent it could be
made to rival the influence or take the place of
the Bank ot England. This tod to a comparison
ot the two great national institutions, their
systems and tne r influence, and elicited much
valuable information, not only for the people of
Europe, but for the whole world. We espe
cially may lcain a goxldcal that is useful just
at this time, when we are passing through a
trighty financial revolution, and wuen men's
ideas hero are so vogue and unsettled upon t'je
subject,
'1 hat which should attract our attention moat
is the controlling pocr of these great national
bankirjr mst'tutious, and particularly of the
Bank ot England, over the trade, commerce,
and financial conditions and operations of tbe
world. By studying this we may adopt princi
ples that are at phcable to our own situation, so
as to give us that hlgn standing in monetary
aflair-, to which oor wealth, resources. Geo
graphical position, and the greatness ot the coun
try entitle u.
Enron Rothschild does not hesitate, to say to
the Frcuch Superior Council of Commerce that
"the Bank of England leads all the other banks
ol Europe. When money is seen to bo rare in
England people open their eyes, not only at
Pari', but at St. Petersburg, aud every whore.
The situation is quite different from ours. The
measures taken by the B init of France do not
produce tbe same effect abroad as those taicon
Ty the Bank ot England." In another part of
bis evidence he says: "A veritable bank is
the Bank of England; it is from it that ema
nate, so to speak, all little banks." Contem
plating the immense power of this institution,
which makes Loudon tho money centre of the
world, we are naturally led to inquire the cause.
How has thU state of things onsen, aud how is
it maintained? '
It does not come within the scope of this
article to investigate the history of the Bank of
England, or all tbe causes that have led suc
cessively to its present powerful position; nor Is
it necessary. We reler, however, in another
part of the paper, to some ot its strugg es in
those trying periods when elforts were made to
return to specie pavnieuts. There are a few
general principles that have operated to pro
duce the result, and which must govern in all
such oases. Thee we shall notice. The
strength of this institution 1 eb primarily in Its
connection with the Government. Strictly
Bj eakmg it is a private corporation, or a corpo
ration of individual; but the Government has
always been identiried with it, and exercised a
control over its affairs, particularly in critical
times. The bunk, at. the same time, has paid
attention to the wishes and necessities of the
( overnn.cnt.
1 hey have mutually aided and sustained each
other tcr the public good. This, however, has
Veen less through positive or express laws, or
through provisions in tho charter, than from
mutual interest and self-preservation. The rela
tions of the bank to the Government are based
upon the principles of necessity and convenience
more than upon an express formal compact, or
any direct right to claim support on one hand or
control rn the other. Like the binding force of
tha British Constitut'on upon the people, thee
obligations between the bank and tbcUovernment
are based upon fundamental principles of what
Is lust and proper more than upon any written
compact Both loim a beautiful system of
checks and balances which are tucitlv acknow
ledged and submitted to for tho welfare of the
country. ' . .
But though the bank has this connection wllh
and support from the Government, it is not, like
the o d Uniled Stales Bank, or what our present
national bunks may b a dangerous political
maeh lie. It comes to tho rescue of the Govern
ment in times of war, or of any great crisis, but
it does not exercise power in the political affuirs
of the country, nor is it duiurerous to the liber
ties of the people. Like a child irom irs hirt.h.
it has grown ip through a loug period of years
and a succcfsion of encounters with the storms
ol life to be a giant in strength. It nas prortted
by experience,, and the statesmen of England
have agisted in maturing its growth. It has
parsed through many seveie ordeals, especially
airing and niter the wars with .Napoleon, aud
when spasmodic efforts were made to force
specie pnymeuts; but sii'ce the act of Sir Robert
Peel, in 1844, it has stood upon a more impreg
nable loundatiou. It recrulates the currency of
Great Britain, public credit, the exchanges of
the world, and. in a greal measure, tho opera
tions of commerce. When speculation is rife
and doneer l? coming it "puts down the brakes,"
ns was said In the Superior t 'on noil of Com
merce, an t when it Is sa'e to go on. attain it lifts
them up; that Is, in other words, it contracts
and ex minds and raises and lowers the rate of
discount according to circumstances. Suoh is
the cieat, sale, and politically hurmleas power
of the Bank of Encland a power which is felt
throughout the civilized world.
Kow, what is tho instruction we may draw
from this? To regulate our financial system,
our bunks and the currency upon equally sound
principles. The sume system may not suit our
condition precisely, but the general principles
are quite as applicable. L"t us have some great
and similar controlling Institution in the United
Sfutes, and at tho commercial metripolis. It
does not matter what it may be called a Board
ot Control of the Currenev, a Commission, a
Bureau, or anything else. We do not mean an
esfiiblishment like the old United States Bank,
nor the so-cailcd national banks nothing that
ran be used bs a political mar.hino or a groat
r-nvBte monopoly bnt somethinp over which
the 'Jovernnient will havo a control lorthebsne
fit ot the piibl c ' ; i , '
. Ihe Government and, therefore,' the people,
should bavc tlfc pole benefit or the circulating
inedn.m ;i.ot prtva'e corporations, the nattoual
banks now have. -Greenbacks should be the
oi ly currency, and tins should be reeulnted b a
temd of'coi trol according to exchanges and tho
iK.cctsitics ot the times. The Government, aot
li'B with this hoard, could aUavs keep a proper
'merve of specie on band as well as curreoov to
put down the Crakes or let them up, according
to the necessity ci tne case, wecaunot return
in the old ahn'iplaMcr system ot private banks;
the revolution in our clrcumstfinres lorbids this,
and e sii pose there aro a low who doiire it.
There is no other safe and sound system than
stiih as we suggest What U to binder this coun
try becoming whai England is in controlling th
tii ances end exchanges of tho world T We have
greater wealth and infinitely greater resources.
We produce the greatest amount of precious
metal nnd cotton, which are tho principal regu
lators of commerce and exchange. Why should
ve pefrnit others to use thorn tor that purpose?
Why should we not mo them so ourselves T No
country Is placed geographically In such a
favorable position. Wo have Europe on one
hand and Ai-ia on the other, and all the wealth
and trade of the rest of the Americas at our
door. We have grown up to the point whn we
can lay solidly the loumia'ion tor such pro emi
nence. We can avail ourselves of the experience
of England and other nations. All we need is
sound legislation, not to tamper with our
healthy legal-tender currency, and a uniform
and permanent system of management. That
will biinct spec'iO payments and make this coum
try the financial centre of the world. '

Light from the East.
From the Tribune.
Austria and Hungary, seventeen years ago,
were the arena of a bloody civil feud, which
was settled by the intervention of Russia on
side of Austria. The Hungarians were crushed;
some ot their leaders hnnued, others exiled, and
Austrian absolutism established by tho might
of the Muscovite word. Yet the Emperor nas
found the passive resistance of Hungary to her
complete absorption into Austria invincible.
He could not overcome it; he could not make
bis Parliament work in spito of it; for since
Hungary telused to seud deputies, it was plain
to all that, though there were German and
Sclavic elements, there was no Parliament of
the whole Empire. After exhausting every de
vice to avoid doing so, Franz Joseph virtually
gives t, up, nd agrees to deal with Hungary on
the basis or her historic Constitution, arbitra
uly abolished in 1841). ,
In the Hungaiian lower House, recently,
Elvos, one ol Deak's prominent supporters,
said: 1 1
"Tle best pnerantee for the welfaro ami tho rights
of a. 1 lies in the liberty for alt." He added: "Wo
want pot an exclusive ficeciom, and see very well
that security ol our rlnbts i also security lor our
rifthts." And ho asked the Uermanio-Austnaiis:
"But do you not also tee that tho attainment of
liberty and justice bv us is at ihe same time prepar
ing Hie way lor vou?" And he continued! "In
country connected toeotlior as Austria is, being
composed of many pooples, no one people or State
can bo uDjustly dealt with, without at last iuvolv
in? all."
We commend tbe;e weighty words to all who,
from whatever quarter, resist a settlement of our
lemaining ditferences on the basis of universal
amnesty and impartial sullrage.
