The Teace CougTuss at Ltuisunne, the other flay, proclaimed Uio UepiiMio of Ettropa, arid informed the inbitliitaiiis of the Continent that tbey were no loiiyor I lie Btibjocts of em perors anil kings, but the free citizens of the United States of Europe. Victor Hugo, iu kia mont dazzling nyroteeluiical rhetoric, an nounced tlmt Hie Federal European Republic was already fonndod tie jure, if not tie fur.to; the last of nil wars was noon to be fought; frontiers wore to be blottod out, kings de posed, and 1'iiid soldiers replaced by grat ui tous citizens; "civil lists, well-paid do liothingisms, salaried clergy, remunerated judgeships, aristocratic sinecures, gratuitous concessions of public buildings, were to lieconie things of the past; and socialism and republicanism wero to meet and kiss each other, ftud then to stamp out forever that "monster with a thousand claws, that sinister incarnation of the old monarchical nnd military crime which gigs and plunders us; which claps one hand over our mouth and the other into our pockets; which has for its share our millions, the bud got, the judges, the priests, the soldiers, the lackeys, the palaces, the civil lists, tho armies, but not tho people." These- avo tho ravings of a man of genius gone mud, it may bo said; they are a missing paragraph from tho most crazy chapter of "L'ilouiuio Qui Hit;" but when we have laughed at thorn with mingled scorn and pity, and turn to see how Louis Napoleon proceeds with his work of crowning the edifice of constitutional lib erty in Franco, and upon whom tho Cortes at Madrid arc about to confer the crown of Isa bella, we see causo to moderate our mirth. The free citizens of tho republic of Europe are impatient, it scouts, of longer submis sion to tho monster with tho thousand claws, and are making pi, tin their deter mination to slay him. Wlint is goiug on in Spain is by no means unexpected, but the news from France is startling. On tho 2(th of October, if tho Jlupjid h is not been de ceived, "the Deputies of the Left will sign a protest declaring that the Emperor has vio lated tho constitution, and that they consider themselves absolved thereby i'ro.u their oaths of fidelity to him." Tho litfjiilU not the best authority for any sUUiuont; and it Hcarcely seems probable that the opposition Bide of tho French Legislnture, having re solved upon a cmiji (A; n.iiin which can only end either in tho overthrow of the empire or their own destruction, should kindly give nineteen days' notice of their intentions, and advertise tho exact time and place for tho performance of their tragedy. Nevertheless, it is clear that affairs in Franco are in a most critical condition, and th it au explosion can bo much longer delayed scorns highly improbable. It is remarkable that the increasing strength of tho domocratic party, in Franco and iu .Spain, is due much moro to the blunders of the Em peror in tho ono case, and of tho Spanish monarchists in the other, than it is to any act of wisdom on tho part of tho Domocratic leaders. Had Prim and Serrano been pre pared with their new prince before they got rid of their old queou, or even had they been able to agree upon a candidate for the throne at the moment when the Cortes voted that the Government should continue to bo a monarchy, it is most probable that tranquillity would now prevail throughout Spain, anl that tho republicans there would long since have been crushed out. In like manner, had Louis Napoleon, once having resolved upon the substitution of constitutional for personal government in France, gone boldly forward with the work, it is almost certain that by this time the voice of discontent within the empire would have been hushed. It might have been wiser had ho refused to surrender his prerogative at all; but, having once announced that it was necessary to surrender it, it was folly to hesitate and dally upon the threshold of tho inevitable. Whan the Emperor told tho Chainbors that, us a last resort, parliamentary government was to be tried, the declaration had tho effoct of dampening tho hopes of tho red republicans and of inclining the hearts of tho moderate liberals towards the ruler whom they had hitherto hated. Tho conservative classes, who dread revolution, as do all men who have much to lose and little to gain, being told by the Emperor himself that personal govern ment was not to be longer relied upon for the safety of society, wero certain to co-operate heartily in tho new experiment, by the success of which they were assured they could alone find safety for tho future; the moderate liberals were disposed to give tho experiment a fair trial, at least; and the reds, who were then few and comparatively powerless, found it dillioult to obtain listeners when they denounced the proposed reforms as delusions and snares. The cue for tho Emperor at this i' tincture was prompt action. Had ho lurried tho senatus-consultum to com pletion, convoked tho Corps Logislatif immediately, and surrounded himself with as liberal a ministry as could bo got together, the new governmental machine might have been set in motion without much difficulty, and it certainly would have been strong enough to withstand tho attacks that might have been made upon it. It would have had tho support of every one in France who has uny thing to lose. Tho imperialists must havo sustained it, since the Emperor himself had told them it was their only hope; the moderate liberals would havo stood by it, since through its agency they could hope, in time, to limit the power of the executive to tho measure of the prero gatives of one who reigns but does not govern. But the Emperor, with inexplicable fatuity, has spent the lust few weeks iu frittering away the support which he might have se cured by a prompt and straightforward course of action. Ho has delayod and hesitated in setting tho new machinery of government at work, ami every day of this procrastination and doaht has only served to bring the proposed reform and the Emperor himself into discredit und contempt. Tho tone of the opposition organs was formerly ono of hatred to the Emperor; within tho last three or four weeks this has been changed for con tempt and ridicule. Tho Hc.oeil and tho Jliipjiel are as freo with their lampoons as was the Ltthtcrne, and they abuse the Emperor and Lis family without stint, and with tho conviction, apparent I3', that ho no longer dares attempt to punish them. As for ithe moderates, their newly born confidence in the Emperor has withered away; and evon the Imperialists find it diilicult to continue their trust in a man who has declared for eighteen years that personal government was tho only safety of France; who then an nounced that personal government was "played out," and that parliamentary govern ment must bo set up in its stead; and who now makes it only too evident that he has no faith in tho system which he proposes to sot I up, and that ho would bo glad to undo all the ' work of the last threo months by a conn d'itit. If the assertion of the Ilitftrl should turn out to be true, he will havo excuse enough for a eovp d'etat; but it may well bo doubted that the Emperor has either tho physical or mental resolution Bufftciont to nerve him to a repeti tion of tho scenes of 1H."1. And, if he allows affairs to drift on much longer, the republio may be Ret up in Franco evon beforo it is established in Spain. CHINA AND FOREIGN TOWEUS. Vent the Pall Mall Gazette, We do not wish for a better example of tho temper which most needs to bo avoided in our dealings with China than the address of the American residents at Shanghai to Mr. Eoss Erowno. Tho recall of this gentleman from l'ckin nppears to bo duo to his known disliko of the Chinese policy which has lately boon adopted by the Unitod States Government there being an obvious incouvonienco in hav ing an ambassador whoso views are tho exact opposite of his instructions. To consolo him on his departure, his countrymen at Shanghai havo been good enough to express their ap proval of his conduct siuco ho has boon in China. Tho spirit which pervades their ad dress is not such as to mako his successor's post at all enviable If tho new American Minister comes resolved to carry out tho in tentions of his Government, ho is certain to bo opposod by an impor tant section of tho public to which ho naturally looks for support. If tho frauiers of tho address to Mr. Erowne had had tho honesty to defend tho policy thoy wish to see pursued by arguments founded on solf-iute-rest, wo should not havo cared to quarrel w ith it. A distinct intimation that you covet and intend to steal your neighbor's goods is to bo mot, if mot at all, by something olso than criticism. They have chosen, however, to justify it by a hypocritical assumption of zeal for the interests of the Chinese them selves. They soar, so far as words go, to a height far above tho ordinary level of busi ness humanity. They define tho truo policy of foreign powers towards China to be "one that looks towards the extension of its trade and inttrcourso with Western nations." But this extension is only valuablo iu their eyes as a step towards tho "raising of China in the scale of civilization." Tho vulgar notion of mercantile advantage has no place in their thoughts. It is becauso China is so low in civilization because she has neglected and forgotten tho maxim.; of morality uttered by her own sages thit tho presence of foreigners is so indispensable. China must for her own sake bo made to advance, and as this will never be done A'ith. the conseut of tho Chinese Government, it must bo done without that consent. New treaties must be entered into, tho terms of which must be settled by the "pressure of West urn opinion," and the execution enforce 1 by "tho pressure of Western power." It is taking too contracted a view of tho circum stances to hold that foreign powers havo merely a right to insist that CLina shall be chilized. "They havo a clear duty in that direction." Their greater matoriat power affects them with a moral responsibility of which tbey cannot 01 vest themselves. If tho Chinese Government will not "advance in a career of discreet progress," it is incumbent upon other Governments to administer the goad. This self-sacvilieing theory is probably held in moro or let's of good faith by mauy people in this country as we'll as in tho United States. It is, we proviini.e, an undesigned trib ute to tho beauty of disinterestedness that these porsons will not say plainly that all wo have to do with China is to squeeze her as dry as possible. According to their own account, thoy have always nn arriere pensee in tho matter. They send out gunboats, they extract concessions, they defy the central or local authorities, or play off one against the other, just as it pleases them for the good of tho Chinese themselves. Thoy aro distressed at tho bare idea of what would happen to this unfortunate people if they were left to their own devices. It is our duty to Christianize and civilize them, even against their own w ishes, and it is sure to turn out somehow or other that tho surest moans of doing this is to make them trade with us whether they will or not. Mr. Browne's reply to the address adopts without reservo the theory put forward by his countrymen, but his better acquaintance with the subject enabloa him to construct a rather telling itroumcntum ad homincm from the past conduct of foreign powers towards China, bo long, he says, as treaties with China, exist they ought to be observed by the Chinese authorities; ana as even the most imperfect observance of Ihclu can only be extortod under constant prossuro, it is idle to profess abstinence from Interference in the internal affairs of the empire. All our rela tions with China rest on compulsion. Of her own accord sho would never havo had any in tercourse with us, and all Mr. Browne pro fesses to contend is, "that having forced obligations upon her, wo must compel her to observe them, or rocedo from tho posi tion we have unilertakeu to maintain If by receding trom our position. Mr. Browne understands introducing consi derable modifications into thoexisting treaties whenever an opportunity offers for revising them, we accept his dilemma. Under the policy which was till lately pursued by Groat Britain, and to a lesser degree by the United States, it was considered expedient to extort concessions from tho Chineso Government which w ere certain to remain a dead letter unless the means of insisting upon them wore constantly at hand. Wo do not dispute the right of the Western powers to impose what terms they pleased after a successful war. What wo maintain is that experience has shown that the terms actually imposed are such as do not repay tho cost of enforcing them. Mr. Browne endeavors t m ike out that tho disputes which arise are ull upon questions of interpret a! ion, and that Chris tian nations aro bound to adhere to what they think just, and not to what a pagan nation thinks just. "Jn order to be truo to our own faith we can only concede so much as may bo reconcilable with tho sacred duties it inculcates," these "sacred, du ties" being, so far as wo can follow Mr. Browne's argument, ull summed up in ono tho opening up now markets to Chris tian traders. In point of fact, however, there is nothing to show that the quarrels between the Western powers and tho Chinese authori ties do originuto in questions of interpreta tion. The truer account of tho matter is that tho former havo forced tho Chinese Govern ment to accord certain privileges to foreign ers which it would openly withdraw if' it dared, and, since it does not dare to do this, will evade. Our position is that the original extortion of these privileges was a mistake. One proof that it was so lias been lately sup plied by the ease of tho missionaries. It was clearly impossible to givo them a virtual safe conduct throughout tho whole extent of the Chinese territory, and yet it could not bo denied that tho letter of the truaty of Tien tsin did justify them in looking to tho British Government for something yery liitlo short of this. If our intercourse with China is to bo anything bettor than a series of littlo wars, we must be'eontont to take the Chinese will ingness to trade with us as tho measuro of our right to trade with them. THE REPORTED OFFER OF THE ROTHS- GUILDS. From the N. Y. Herald. A report comes through a Washington telo cram that the Rothschilds aro about to offer a loan to our Government to any amount it may desire at four per cent, interest, and that M. Friguet, an agent of theso groat capitalists, will shortly arrive to make the proposition. It is further said that this proposed action on the part of tho Rothschilds has been prompted by tho discovery that certain German capital ists wero contemplating a similar proposition. Now, wo do not know whut truth there may be in this report. It may only bo a bull operation on tho purt of those holding largely Unitod States securities for the purpose of sending up tho prices in tho markets; and if wo considor that tho Rothschilds would not bo likely to mako known in advance any great financial operation of this sort, such would bo a reason able view of the character and object ot tho telegram. Still it is not improbable that cither the Rothschilds or tho Gorman capital ists alluded to, or both, may contemilato such a graud financial movement. In Germany United States socuntios aro, to use a homely similo, seized as hot cakes are by the hungry. Every one who has a little money is investing in them. Tho securities ot no nation aro looked upon wan as much favor. Tho people generally, as well as tho capitalists, aro buying them. It wouia not be surprising, then, if the heavy financial men of Germany aro contemplating the oiler ot a largo loan at four per cent, interest. Nor would it be straugo if tho Rothschilds have tho same object in viow; for thoro is such a plethora of capital at tho great moneyed cen tres of Europe, and consequently in tho hands ot that rich house, that two or three percent. is all that can bo obtained on good security there. In the greatest centre ot capital, Lon don, money is only worth from one and a half to two per cent. Such capitalists as tho Rothschilds know very well that a lo in at four per cent, in a consolidated stoeU of tins great and wealthy country would ixect with ready salo. Though Europeans, and tho English particularly, are cautious iu making invest ments iu tho securities of foreign countries, and prefer those at home, they do not lose the opportunity ot gettr.i ' 0:10 or two per cent, more for their inoaey when the credit is undoubted anil the investment permanent. Hereto! ore there Ins been a I'reat waut of knowledge iu Euri co about thii country and its resources, and a feelirg of uncertainty as to how our national tie! t would be managed or paid. But. within t lie last year or two a great deal of light has been di I'r.S'd through tho press, the magnetic telegraph, and the myriads ot letters that are sent tiom people in this country to their friends abroad. They begin to understand in Europe the boundless wealth of the United States and tho mighty future before us. They have seen the strength ot the Government ana patriotism ot the people under tho ordeal of u terrible civil war that would have shattered to pieces any other nation. They have witnessed the extra ordinary spectacle of millions of armed men promptly laying down their arms and return ing to their peaceful occupations as soon as the object of the war was accomplished. They have seen a country, aftor having been torn to pieces and the fairest portions of it made desolate by a conflict of which modern history gives no parallel, quickly re stored to order, tho people returning to their industrial pursuits, as if nothing had hap pened, with renewed energy, and our re sources multiplying as if there had been no war or its consequences were forgotten. Tho recuperative power, good sense, and patriot ism of tho republio have astonished them. To sum up the w hole, the people of Europe havo learned that in America we have with republican freedom both the strongest gov ernment and tho greatest wealth of any nation on the globe. Then, again, tho enormous income of the Treasury, at tho rate of a hun dred millions or so a year over and above tho expenditures, shows that the debt is a mere bagatelle, and will be surely paid. Such a temporary disturbance in tho gold and stock market as we had lately amounts to nothing, when we look at tho wealth, prosperity, and future of tho country. We perceive, then, the causes that are operating to inspire confi denco abroad in American securities. Looking at tho matter in every point of view, therefore, it is evident wo are paying much too high an interest on the debt, and much higher than we need pay if our finances bo properly managed. Such a high interest is disastrous every way. It not only imposes a very heavy and an unnecessary burden upon the taxpayers, but it absorbs tho active capi tal of tho country to a great extent, paralyzes enterprise, and checks progress; for people will not trouble themselves about other in vestments while they can ot on United Slates bonds six per cent, iu gold or eight per cent, in currency, and that without their investments being taxed. Tho value of the bondholders' property is out of all proportion to that of other property. A loan iu long consols or consols without date of redemption, could bo made, we have no doubt, at four per cent., and perhaps at loss say at three sixty five, or at a cent a day on tho hundred dollars. Tho w hole debt could bo simplified and put in this form. Tho consolidation would not pro- vent the redemption 01 the debt and its final extinction. Tho Government could have a sinking fund and go into tho market with its surplus income to buy up tho consols at any timo. Forty millions a year or more could be saved in interest and to the tav payers, for wo do not think much premium or any need bo paid in the transformation of the debt if proper laws bo passed for that pur pose and our finances be properly managed, It would bo better for tho country, uudoubt edlv. if we had at'cre'rated capital enough to take up such a loan hero and to hold the debt at home, for then tho interest would be diffused among our own people and would not leave tho United States. But this is not practicable at present; money is too valuable lor other rurposes; and then a large portion of the debt is held already abroad. Under all the circumstances, tho best thing to do would bo to accept a loan covering tho whole or a creat portion of tho debt at tho low rate of interest mentioned, if such a loan be offered; or if not. to consolidate the debt here upon the same basis. Have we the states men at Washington to comprehend this great subject, ond to put tho national finances on a solid foundation ? That is tho quostion. LAST WORDS. Yom tJie X. Y. Tribune. To many of our most distant readers this is our last opportunity for addressing a final word on the importance of tho elections to be held early next week in Pennsylvania and Ohio. Wherever citizens rightfully eutitlod to veto in either of thoso Stutoa ore absent from their homes, we Leg them to ret am in time for next Tuesday's-duty. Wherever they are thinking of arrangements that will call thom sway or keep them too busy at homo to J nuenu mo polls, we Ucg thom at onoe to re vise their plans, and remember thnt the first claim on their time, that day, is their coun try's. We ask earnest Republicans to give this their special attention, because tho present is one of the "off years" in our politics, and tho tendency is to a very light vote, in which we always loso more in proportion than our antagonists; wo ask it becauso, at the same time, the issues aro in many respects as im portant as in any of our more exciting campaigns. In Ohio our friends are to de cide by their faithful presence at or hoo.lloss absence from tho polls whethor the State that gave Grant and Sherman and Sheridan to the army, and followed thom, first and last, with over two hundred thousand volunteer, is to stand recorded ogainst tho beneficent principle of equal rights for all which they fought, to establish and which tho fifteenth amendment is designed to socuro. Will our friends remember that this matter is ono of instant, vital importanct ? Tho fifteenth amendment is in tho gravest possible danger their success or failuro in securing the Legislature next Tuesday may decide its fato. It will bo a burning shame if Repub lican Ohio, through sheer, thoughtless apathy, should thus secure a triumph greater than, till lately, oven her most venomous Peace Democrats have dared to hopo. Of that other disgrace which apathy can likewise brirg on tho disgrace of rejecting a gallant soldier in order to honor a Calhoun Seces sionist run mad like Pendleton wo say loss. That is more largely their ow n affair; but tho country will lemn the result with profound astonishment, if tho State which so nobly sustained the war for tho Union should now choose as her Governor the man who so por sistcntly and ably opposed it. In Pennsylvania (and in Ohio as well) tho question of national honesty stands second and scarcely second to that of the triumph of tho crowning feature of our reconstruction policy, tho constitutional guarantee of equal rights for all. Tho election of Packer, or the election of Pendleton, would be everywhere hailed us a substantial triumph of the party that believes in paying tho publio debt in gieen backs, or in taxing away tho interest, or in some other way evading or disowning our honest obligation to fulfil our contract as both borrower und lender understood it when it w as made. Of other and not unimportant matters in volved in there elections wo say nothing now. Ve only repeat our entreaty to every Repub lican to remember that tho fifteenth amendment is in danger, and that the na tional honesty is on trial. We utterly refuse to. believe that, in such a cause, such States as Pennsylvania and Ohio wiil be found want ing; and we call on every son of either to honor his noble Common wealth by doing his duty !
