TL ESDAY, JULY 19, 1870.
IIOW WILL THE EUROPEAN WAR
AFFECT AMERICA ?
Fkom present indications there is no good
reason to fear that the war In Euiope will
inflict serious damage on the United States.
The most probable conjecture is that it will
be more apt to benefit, than to in j are our
material interests. The immediate effect on
the stock markets is to raise the price of
gold and to cause a slight decline
in Government bonds, but these fluctua
tions are of small importance to the
general public. Any indirect injury
they may inflict will apparently be more than
counterbalanced by the advance in the price
of breadstuffs and increased demand for flour
and grain, which is arising from the transfer
of great masses of men from peaceful fields of
industry to bloody seats of war. One of the
most important commercial changes is that
likely to arise from the temporary interrup
tion of oar commerce with Gormany, but the
injury to be apprehended from this quarter
is not very formidable, for, at the worst, we
can make our cotton hosiery and cloths in
home manufactories if all communications with
Trussia should be destroyed. The French
navy should be able to afford sufficient pro
tection to French commerce to prevent any
material diminution of the trade of France,
and Parisian gewgaws are likely to be as
plenty as ever in our markets'. If England
continues to remain neutral she will probably
perform a portion of the carrying trade of
both France and Prussia, and her ship-owners
will spare no pains to improve every possible
opportunity to extract profit from the com
batants and their old customers. It is possi
ble, however, that England may also become
entangled in the present complication, in
which event our own drooping shipping in
terests might be rapidly revived, and a new
era of American commerce similar to that
which signalized the commencement of this
century might be re-established.
Beyond a feeling of sympathy for this or
that combatant, it is not likely that the
American Government will be dragged into
the war. As in all former European contests,
we will probably continue to preserve a strict
neutrality. The large body of natives of
Germany who reside in our country evidently
desire the triumph of Prussia, many of them
are anxious to extend material as well as
moral aid, but as a nation, however much we
may desire the defeat of Napoleon, it does
not become us to voluntarily interfere in a
European quarrel. One contingency, how
ever, may make us, to some extent, active
parties in the controversy. It is
said that if Spain attempts
to aid Germany the Emperor will, in retalia
tion, seize Cuba, and any attempt of this
kind would be sternly resisted by the Ameri
can people. The Cuban insurgents are cherish
ing a strong hope that the war in Europe will
assist their efforts to achieve independence;
and if Napoleon attempts t vent his rage
against Spain on them, or to meddle again in
the aff airs of this continent, America would
scarcely fail to join the ranks of his active
foes, aud to precipitate his downfall.
TUB PA TMENT OF PENSIONS.
One of the lirst subjects to which the atten
tion of Congress was called at the beginning
of the late session was the necessity for a
reform in the method of paying pensions.
The injustice that was done the pensioners
by the long intervals of payments and by
authorizing the deduction of various fees and
charges by the pension agents, was dwelt
upon with considerable force by a number of
prominent newspapers, and sufficient enthu
siasm was excited about the matter in Con
gress to produce a variety of bills of various
degrees of merit, some of which proposed to
reform the whole pension-paying business by
doing away with the present agencies, while
others endeavored to effect compromises
that would leave the agents in enjoyment
of these perquisites, and at the same time to
give the pensioners as little cause ef com
plaint as possible. As the session progressed
more exciting subjects of discussion engaged
the attention of the members, and there
seemed to be very little chance that anything
would be done in behalf of the pensioners,
especially as it was well understood that all
the influence of the Pension Bureau and its
attaches was directed against any attempt at
reform. ' Between the pensioners, who
are generally persons of no social im
portance, and absolutely no poli
tical influence, and the pension agents,
who are for the most part well-trained wire
pullers, and up to all the fine points of pri
mary elections and nominating conventions,
lh average Congressman has not much diffi
.culty - in choosing. The force of pub
lio opinion, however, and a few . cases
like . that of Colonel Forbes, . in this
City, in . whidh &e extortions practised
by the agents upon the pensioners were fully
demonstrated, forced Congress tak some
fiction; and a bill was therefore passed dtul-g
the last days of the session, which, if not
exactly the best that could be devised, is at
least Bonis improvement over the old method
of doing business.
SCb.9 important features of this bill, which
became a law on the 8th instant, are that it
requires the pensions to be paid quarterly in
UA of fretui -annually as heretofore, and that
H forLidj the agents to receive any fee. from
the pensioners for services tendered them,
under a penalty of $500. The agents are to
be paid thirty cents by the United States for
preparing the paper a incident to each pay
ment, and although this may cut down Some
of the preoent profits, an office with a tole
rably large pay-roll will yield the individual
holding it quite a respectable income, even if
it does not enable him to retire with a large
fortune after a few years' service. The bill
also provides for the payment of pensioners
by means of checks drawn to order and for
warded by mail on the receipt of the
proper vouchers, except in certain
cases where the pensioners are required to
appear and receive their money in person.
This arrangement certainly has its advan
tages, but it is extremely doubtful whether it
will work well in the majority of instances,
and it is by no means as good as some of the
plans proposed such, for instance, as- the
one which proposed to make the postmasters
the pension agents. A compromise was un
doubtedly made in this instance with a view
of quieting the clamor for reform, and at the
ame time of retaining the present agencies
with their political influence. A majority of
the pensioners are illiterate, and the Govern
ment blanks are notoriously hard to under
stand, so that it can scarcely be possible that
the forwarding of vouchers and their execu
tion by the pensioners without the assistance
of some one familiar with their intricacies
will not produce confusion, vexatious
delays, and innumerable annoyances both to
to the Government and the pensioners.
An important and a praiseworthy feature of
the bill is that which limits the fee of auy
attorney or agent who prosecutes a claim for
pension or bounty land to $10, if no special
contract is made, aud which prohibits a
charge of more than $25 in any case, under a
penalty of $"00 or less, or imprisonment for
five years or less, or both. One of the defi
ciencies of the bill is that it makes no provi
sion for the severe punishment of such cases
as that of Colonel Forbes, to which
allusion has several times been made
in these columns. It is a notorious fact that
many of the pension agents run regular loan
offices, and grow rich, not merely by means
of the fees allowed by law, but by discount
ing the claims of the pensioners at most ex
orbitant rates. It is in the highest degree
discreditable that Congress should pass a bill
of the character of the one under discussion
without embodying in it some provision upon
this point; and that Colonel Forbes and others
equally in fault are allowed to remain in
office, and that they have influence enough
to prevent a law from being passed which
will place a check upon them, is a conclusive
proof that a total and radical reform is needed
in the whole business of the Pension Bureau.
OVIi TRADE WITH CUBA.
Tub relations of Cuba to the United States are
of supreme importance at the present time, in
view of the struggle going on upon the island,
and the efforts which have been made to em
broil this country with Spain. The latest official
returns concerning the trade between the island
and the United States will therefore be of in
terest. First we give a statement of the value of the
imports into this country from the Island dar
ing the fiscal years ending J une 30, 13 59, and
June 30, 1868, respectively, as follows:
1909. isos.
Dutiable. $r6,6.'MJ,10 513, 2

In American vessels T2,495,0S4 sr.,973 21
In foreign vessels 15,706,291) 13,777,446
These figures show an increase in the value of
our imports from Cuba in a single year of
$7,450,647, or nearly 18 per cent. The increase
in the value of the imports in American vessels
xv&a K.K21.803. or nearlv 10 rer cent.: while the
increase in the amount carried in foreign vessels
was 9 1,928,844, or a little more than 14 per cent.
In the following table are given the value of
the most important dutiable imports' during the
two periods:

Of the Imports free of duty the greater por
tion were made up of gold and sliver bullion
and coin, amounting in 13G3 to a total $976,023,
and in 1809 to $1,224,883. The most important
commodity imported free of duty was cabinet
wood, unmanufactured, amounting in value to
$117,129 in 1868, and to $137,901 In 1869.
Gratifying as is this Increase in the value of
our imports from Cuba, on turning to the ex
ports of domestic commodities from the United
States to the island during the two fiscal years,
we find a marked decrease, as follows: .
1869. 1863.

In foreign vessels 2,765,772 2,934,43s

This shows a decrease in one year of $3,G11
888, or more than 17 per cent., almost the
entire falling off being credited to the export
trade in American vessels.

A dance at the above tables is sufficient to in
dicate the extent and importance of our commer
cial intercourse with Cuba, and the desirability
of a tpeedy settlement of the troubles which
have so long afflicted the island. Whether in
dependence of Spain or annexatlou to the United
States be desirable or not, peace at least is Im
peratively demanded by the larpje commercial
Interests Involved in this country.

Tuesday, July 19, 1370. i
Money is without material change, as hull
cated by the bank statement yesterday. The
demand Is quite lively owiug to the revival iu
speculation, and there Is some drain on business
account toward the West. The derangements
caused by the incipient European war are chiefly
felt in the specie and bond markets so far, but
there can be no doubt that commercial values
will, for a time, be greatly unsettled and en
hanced by the spirit of wild speculation which
is inseparable from a state of warj likely to
increase the demand for grain and breadstuff.
The movement in this direction has alreadv
begun, and the end is notyet.
We quote call loans at 45 per cent on choice
collaterals, and prime discounts at C(a7 per
cent, for paper not having more than sixty days
to mature.
Gold is less excited but variable, the sale3 up to
noon ranging from 121120, closing at noon
at about 120.
Government bonds are comparatively quiet
and steady, a portion of the list showing a slight
Improvement.
The stock market was only moderatelv active,
the bulk of the business being in favorite rail
road shares. There was a firmer feeling
throughout. In City 6s there were small sales
of the bonds at 101; Pennsylvania war loan
sold at 106.
Reading Railroad was active, and sold up to
49; sales at 49J s. o.; Philadelphia and Erie ad
vanced, selling at 28; Oil Cleek and Allegheny
was steady, with sales at 45 b. o.; Lehigh
Valley sold at 57J, no change; and Pennsylva
nia at 57.
Canal, Coal, and Passenger Railroad shares
were neglected.
Small sales of Manufacturers' Bank at 31 and
Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank at 123. -
