When a prudent business iiihii, in the ordlmirw
cmirec of his aflalrp. Oiidi himself -w ith a large
Hurnlus in bank, not needed In his regular trans
lations, what does he do with it? If lie nine
notes not yet tlue. on which lie l pavlnic
heavy Interest. 1 he likely to delay for an hour
hu effort to ue his ni'plu cash in discounting
hi not? . ' , . .
Th United States owes twenty-one luindredand
flirht million of dollar, on which it has heavy
lnterCHt tormv in pold. Mciinwliilc it has, unused
and uuiieeclod". in Its Treasury, eighty millions of
cold. That Secretary of the Treat urv will best
discharge the duties "of his prcat olliee who bo
manages the money nt his disposal as to make It
ro the furthest in meeting the Government's ob
ligations. There Is the enormous debt, on
vhich ho ia pavintt high intcrcHt. There is the
heavy surplus of idle pold. which 1 earning no
thing, and paving nothing. What will be do
with it ? " , .
On this statement alone the cane might rest.
But there is another fact to be taken into the
account. Here in Wall .street this debt, on
which we pay heavy gold interest, is selling at ft
discount of about fifteen dollars on the hundred
dollar bond. That Is to say, lu spite of the
recent sharp advance, eighty-five of the gold
dollars now lyiug idle in the Treasury will buy
an outstanding note of ours which calls for a
hundred gold dollars, and which bears onerous
Interest. Vould not any busiuess man in Wall
atreet who should neglect such an opportunity
be thought unlit to manage his own affairs ?
But it Is objected that the Secretary is for
bidden to take the obvious course which plain
businesa principles would dictate by this un
fortunate clause, finally forced into the Public
Credit bill:
'None of the said interest-bearing obligations not
already due shall ie redeemed or paid before ma
turity .unless at such time United States notes shall be
convertible Into coin at the option of the holder, or
unless at such time bonds of the United states bear
ing a lower rate of Interest than the bonds to be re
deemed can be sold at par in coin."
We deny the forco of the objection. Here Is a
clause In the original Legal-tender act of Febru
ary, 186;i, not in conflict with the above, and not
repealed:
"All duties on Imported goods shall be paid in
coin. - Au'l the coin so paid shall be set apart
as a special fund, ami shall be applied as follows:
First, to the payment In coin of the Interest on the
bonds and notes of the United States; second, to the
purchase or payment of one per centum of the entire
ilclit of the United States, to be made within each
tinea! year after the first day of July, 1862, which Is to
be set apart as a sinking fund, and the Interest of
which shall In like manner lie applied to the purchase
or payment of the public debt, as the Secretary of
the Treasury shall from time to time direct."
We do not now ask that the bonds ehull bo
"redeemed or paid."' In our judgment that
would have been wise; but contrary counsels
have prevailed, and the law has uecn made to
forbid it. What we do ask, and what the above
unrepealed law makes the absolute, imperative
duty of the Secretary, Is that he use his surplus
gold "for the purchase of one per centum of
the entire debt of the United States, to be set
apart as a sinking fund, the interest of which
shall in like manner be applied to the purchase
of the public debt." The "entire debt of the
United States" amounts to twenty-six hundred
and thirty-six millions. Of that amount the law
not only allows but commands the Secretary to
buy up In open market twenty-six millious, to

FRANCE AND EUROPE WAR POSSIBILI
TIES.
Vram, the A'. Y. Ucrald.
It is only a few clays since wc gave it as our
opinion' that the Frauco-Bolginu trouble might
result in some such complication as should prove
dangerous to the peace or Europe. We have
not had long to wait without receiving encou
ragement to our view of the situation. Prussia,
we said,, was so deeply concerned in the settle
ment of this Belgian railway question that
Prussia could not be indifferent, and that a hitch
in the proceedings was not only possible but
probable. ..The hitch has come. The negotia
tions had so far satisfactorily proceeded. A few
days ago we learned that Si. Frere-Orban had
returned from Paris to Brussels very much dis
satisfied with the result of his mission. Now we
learn from a cable despatch that the negotiations
for a commercial conference between France
and Belgium have been suspended. What does
it mean? It is hard to think that it can menu
anything else than this that the two powers
have differed as to the questions to be submitted
to the proposed conference. We know that
J' ranee nas been making heavy demands; and
the presumption now is that France has asked
so much that Belgium has been compelled to
stand upon her dignity and refuse. It such be
the fact, then we may rest assured that, in spite
of the undignified advice given by the Loudon
Timet, Belgium has known her duty, aud that
she has good reason to conclude that beyond a
certain point she can count on the sympathy and
support of both Great Britain and Prussia. An
other telegram of the same date, informlug us
that the Prussian Ambassador at Paris had been
instructed to thank the French Foreign Minister
for the pacific sentiments recently expressed by
him in the French Chamber, does not in the
smallest degree affect this view of the case. It
means wise and cunning diplomacy a little bit
of the Jesuit; that Is all.
What with this and other important foreign
questions, demanding attention; what with the
restless condition of the French people, aud the
municipal elections in immediate prospect, the
French Emperor has certainly trouble enough on
hand. Napoleon, in fact, is now in a critical,
perhaps the most critical, condition in w hich he
has fouiuHUmself for many years. Interests, ap
parent or real, pull in different directions. How
to yield, or rather how to act, it is not so easy
to decide It is now some years since Decem
ber 3, 1851, and Frenchmen have had a fair
chance of coining to a conclusion as to the
merits or demerits of Napoleonisin. That
Napoleon thq Third has done great things for
Fjance no one can deny. Prosperous at home
and rcsncctod abroad are old phrases which have
often been used iu very absurd connections, but
during the reign of the third Napoleon they have
not been whollv meaningless. With all the
drawbacks that may be made, France is a power
with which no other power feels it safe to go to
war. There have been many and even serious
Napoleonic blunders; but while Frnce under
defeats, she has sustained no defeat on the field
of battle.1 This, however, does not fully state
tfce case. France, under Napoleon, has gained
some of the most 6plendid field victories of
modorn times. . It Is undeniable, too, that since
1851 France has gained somewhat in political
lihnrtv.
It is at the same time true that France Is not
satisfied. Republicans are still in opposition
and OrleanisU are still dissatisfied, while the
leyttlmatlsU are a stubborn as ever. This is
true cf the different sections, but it does not
cover the whole difference between Napoleon
and the French wople. Much as they have
rtrrtunoroH nt hnnlA nnfl much 11 S tllPV 11 TO re-
spected abroad, the French people think that
they are not what they ought to be not what
they once were, not what they believe they ever
should be. There is grumbling nil over France
because in aome important respects they are the
least free of all the European nations, and there
Is grumbling because the name of France abroad

catlwflcd that, all things considered, their
destinies are safer in his hands than in the
lmnHH of tnv other. The abolition of the
Lirrrt system gives us a key to Napoleon's pre- i
sent thoughts. I lie wormngincn on nis mac, lie
knows ho can control the elections. By this
lust move he has secured tho workingmon, and
unless wc greatly mistake, the elections will re
sult in a grand Ministerial triumph. We can
have no war until after the elections. If the re
sult of the elections Is to the Emperor's mind, it
w ill not be wonderful If the Empire again means
pence? If, however, the elections do not result
to tho Emperor's entire satisfaction, It is not at
all Impossible that a bold effort will be made, by
means of a foreign war, to destroy all opposi
tion Inside the empire. The Emperor has a
magnificent army, w hlch Is spoiling for a light.
Ho is not the man to refuse to use It, If to use
It will serve his purpose.
THE REFORM OF THE CIVIL SERVICE.
From the N. Y. Time.
Senators Carpenter of Wisconsin and Abbott
of North Carolina have been moving in the
matter of tho civil service We do not know
that they propose, nor how far they are inllu
enced by any desire, to reform it, but certainly
they arc not moving In the right direction. Mr.
Carpenter's resolution requesting tho heads of
departments to furnish the descriptive rolls of
the employes of the Government, with a view to
ascertaining what States they are from, and
who had them appointed, thus obtaining the
amount of "patronage" enjoyed by each Sena
tor and Representative, appears to have been
made in the interest of disappointed office
seekers and uuinlluential Senators. The influential
members will take good care to smother this
resolution, aud it is one not worthy of considera
tion by us, save as indicating a very unworthy
spirit In our great reformers and law-givers,
and, we fear, the hoiiclesencss of tho civil ser
vice reformation.
But Mr. Abbott's amendment is one that we
are sorry to see disgracing the journal of a
Senate of this enlightened day. We sincerely
trust that the Senate will not, as Mr. Abbott
asks, declare as its opinion that "the distribu
tion of official patronage, not embraced in local
offices in the State, should be made, as nearly
as may be practicable, according to representa
tion and population; and that, to confine patron
age to any particular portion of the States or
sections, either wholly or partially, is unjust
and injurious."
There can be no honest or able civil service
such as this country needs formed on any such
ridiculous principle as the distribution of offices
according to representation and population. It
is even more absurd, if not more unprincipled,
than the old Democratic practice of the distri
bution oi Government offices as spoils to the
victors; his party justified Mr. Mnrcy in
enunciating his infamous precept, but "there
will be lew. we imagine, of any party
to accept Mr. Abbott's senseless "declara
tion. 11 the Government, iu. selecting its
servants, is to consider, not their ability
and honesty aud experience, but the
claims of the locality whence they date, then
the Government will secure a very inefficient, .if
not a very corrupt, set or servants. .Mr. Abbott s
resolution repeats an old heresy which we hoped
we had been educated to discard; we are satis
fied that the good sense of the people will lead
them to reject the false theory and discard the
Senators and Representatives who seek to
strengthen their position iu their States by im
posing incompetent servants on the General
Government, and who sustain themselves with
their party at home by endangering the party at
large by obstructing and weakening the admin
istration.
CANADA AND THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.
From the Cltirwjo Tribune.
Senator Chandler has continued his previous
fame, without material modification or enhance
ment, by a characteristic speech, proposing that
the Government of the United (States offer to
Great Britain to accept the Dominion of Canada
in full settlement for all our claims against Great
Britain arising out of the depredations of her
pirates. The lirst objection to this plau is that
it is not payment. Leave tho Canadas alone for
a few years, cease shaking your list at them,
and they will seek annexation of their own
accord. In other words, we shall get them for
nothing. Senator Chandler's scheme is as if a
man had caught a wily old plunderer robbing
his sheep pen, and should offer to compromise
by marrying his daughter. He seems to over
look the chief point in the problem, viz.: That
the population of Canada are entitled like our
selves and like the people of England to exercise
self-government. They are not mere chattels, to
be sold like quadroon slaves to pay the dobts of
theirparent. At present, and for mnnyyears, they
have exercised this right fls fully as perhaps
any people on earth, and as fully, at all events,
as they wish. The authority of Englaud is
nominal, barely sufficient to extend over the
Canadas the protection of the British name.
They have no debt except that incurred for their
own internal improvement, and their taxes are
exceedingly light. Their six per cent, securities,
Instead ot selling, Like ours, at sucn a discount
as to make their rate of interest over eight per
cent., usually sell at a sufficient premium to re
duce their rate of interest to four and a half per
cent. or many years tney have manifested a
devotion to the substantial independence they
enjoy under the cover ot nominal dependence
on England, as unanimous and hearty as even
tne JNortnern and loyal portion oi our own people
have shown towards our republic. If it were
freely put to vote to-morrow whether they
should remain with Great Britain or be annexed
to the United States, Mr. Chandler must
know that only a small proportion of the popu
lation would now vote for annexation.
Nevertheless the feeling in favor of annexa
tion is increasing and will continue to in
crease, unless killed off by the speeches of
thoughtless and inconsiderate persons like
Chandler. The annexationists of the maritime
provinces are a strong and aggressive party, and
their influence is already making au impression
on the Canadas. Assuming, however, as wo
safely may, that the consent of Canada is at pre
sent wanting, Mr. Chandler's proposition be
comes one of the most undemocratic proposi
tions ever uttered in a Republican Senate. It
embodies a denial of popular rights as blind and
arbitrary as have characterized the ages, now.
supponcu 10 ue past, wnen uruie iorco was mo
solo law of nations.
We recognize the fact that about six-tenths of
the trade ot Canada is w ith tho United States;
that her real industrial welfare is now almost as
vitally affected by the laws we pass at Washing
ton as lv those 'they pass at Ottawa. But if,
despite these tacts, tho Canadian people are not
prepared for annexation, it would bo an act of
national ravishment to bai ter and sell the right
of her people to govern themselves after their
own preference, in payment for injuries which
she had no share iu committing, whatever might
have been her sympathies. Hence everv pro
posal having iu view the consummation of such
a wroug is an insult, which hinders, instead of
promoting, the growth ol a sentiment in Canada
In favor ol union with this country.
The time Is past when tho ritrht to irovern
. people is the proper subject of bargain and sale
for money. We have bought tho jurisdiction
over large tracts of territory now incorporated
into the United Slates, but it has been either
where most of their people were American aud
desirous to cast their lot with- ours, or where
there were tew people oi any kind.
Lisiht a are the taxes on the Canadian people.
their amount for two years is equal to tho entire
value of the vcs-cls destroyed by tho Alabama.
It is only by going bchiud the mere value of tho
vessels destroyed and maklag a claim for tho
general injuries to our commerce, and for sup
posed prolongation of the war, that we can
arrive at a sum of sufficient maguitude to cull
for a cession of territory, were the people ot the
acoulrcd territory lu favor of the act oi cession.
Wc do not believe that any data exist whereby
such damages can be estimated with a precision
that would, if between private parties, justify a
recovery in a court of justice. If those English
rmii-eis had been strong euouirn to fight our
blockading squadron, or help to open the block
ade and let in supplies 10 tue kouoi iorcos, more
would be ground lor saying they prolouged the
war. But to loug as tue ucocis got mcir re
quired enppliea, they would have kept up the
right on the land had not a single English cruiser
gone on the ncns. The damages from this source,
and from the injury to our commerce, could n
easily bo estimated at fifteen hundred millions of
dollar an at one hundred millions: this is the
very best Proof possible that they are wholly in
capable of being estimated at all.
They amount to a grave national outrage, for
which none seem prepared at present to suggest
tho most appropriate remcdv. or enn tiCn
whether tho remedy should be In thp llntnrn fif
apology or indemnity, or both. In making our
demand upon England for the wron" to our
novcrcignty in her acts of recognition and of
Kvmpniny witn tne licnciuon, it is fair that wc
should rcmomber that Encland MS Wfl na A inn.
ilea was a house divided narnlnst Itself, lir.tii
swayed between contending parties, and while
Russell hastened to facilitate our Rebellion, he
did not do half so much to that end as our own
President Buchanan and Secretary Floyd. If in
tho international sense tho act of a" partv in
power is to be tnkeu as the act of the whole na
tion, then nil England took part In tho act of
premature recognition of the Rebellion. But
England might well point us to the
President Buclmmin, denying that tho Govern-
mcnt had any power to coerce a seceding Stato
back Into tho Union, aud ask us if wo can ron-
Bonsbly expoct their cabinets to understand tlmt
tho Union would be maintained in a manner in
which our own President had declared it could
not no maintained.
