Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journal! upon Current Topics Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph. THE MISSION TO ENGLAND. From the A. 1'. World. It is Muted that Mr. Frelinghuysen, after long Lesitation and delay, refuses the. Eag IihIi mission, aud that the place has beea oflered to Senator Trumbull, who also de clines. Tbe coquetting of Mr. Frelingunysen with an office of Buch dignity, and so much above Lin reasonable expectations, has an air of feebleness and vacillation which will not raise that gentleman in public estimation. Had he promptly declined, the country would have recognized his modesty and good sense; if he bad signified his early acceptance, it would have pardoned bis self-contidence in the hope that it proceeded from a conscious ntKS of talents which had not yet found a fitting field. But his dilatory trifling with that important post shows that be possesses neither a very exact sense of propriety nor much decision of character. Mr. Trumbull, if the position has been offered him and de clined, has acted with a promptitude which is both respectful to the appointing power and creditable to bis own strength and manli ness. General Grant has a most singular aptitude for lowering the tone of the public service, and cheapening its highest oflices in general estimation. There ought to be a sort of chastity in such matters, resembling the reserve which adds so much to the dignity and estimation of the gentler sex. A high office, like n virtuous woman, loses something of its lustre if exposed to the mortification of being jilted or rejected. General Grant has subjected almost every groat office in the Government to this degradation. His method of making appointments is marked by none of the wise foresight and prudent reserve practised by his predecessors. In this case of Mr. Frelingbuysen, any other person would have sounded him confidentially before hand, and have ascertained whether he would consent to take the office before sending bis name to the Senate. The mission to Eng land is too important to go publicly begging for an incumbent, and the Senate should have been spared the trouble of discussing the merits and deciding on the fitness of a man who might not accept. Most of our great oflices have been de graded in a similar way, until self-respecting statesmen are unwilling to bold them. The secretaryship of State was tumbled about and rolled in the mire of Presidential favoritism until Mr. Fish felt a sincere reluctance to take it when it was pressed upon him, and only consented to do so temporarily by the urgency of the President. Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, was the first person selected, but be scorned the office and peremptorily declined it, when General Grant wished to prostitute it for the convenience of his friend Wash burne. Mr. Fish was asked to take the office after it bad been thus refused by Mr. Wilson and prostituted to Elihu Washburne. It is easy to understand bow unwilling a gentle man of Mr. Fisb's standing must have been to be Washburne's successor. And after Mr. Fish, from motives of personal friend ship to the President, had complied with bis wishes, even then Washburne was permitted to remain and dictate some of the most important foreign appointments. It was due to Mr. Fish, who was to have charge of our foreign relations, and due to the dig nity and efficiency of that great branch of the publio service, that he should have been con sulted and bis wishes deferred to in selecting the foreign agents who were to act under his instructions. But in point of fact he bad no more influence in filling the great foreign missions than a mechanio in the streets. We bad a creat controversy with England, which be would naturally wish to settle; but he had so little confidence in Mr. Motley that he would not permit him to open negotiations, and desired to have them transferred to Washington. Our relations with Spain were also important, but the Secretary of State bad no confidence in such a minister as Sickles. It is not surprising that Mr. Fish is impatient to be relieved of an offioe whose dignity is so ittle respected by the President. Geneial Grant is treating Mr. Fish's suc cessor with as little consideration as he has shown to Mr. Fish. He has known for some time that Mr. Fish has determined to resign, and there was no reason why be should change the minister to England until after be bad made choice of the new Secretary of State. Mr. Motley is competent for the routine duties of bis position, and fully equal to its social requirements. As the Alabama negotiations will not be renewed under Secre tary Fish, who will soon retire, there was no reason for displacing Mr. Motley until after the new Secretary of State is installed. If the new Secretary 'is expected to settle the Alabama dispute, it is fair to him that the Minister to England should be a person in whom be could have confidence. The Secre tary ought to have been appointed first, and the minister selected afterwards in deference topiis wishes. It is no wonder that Mr. Tram bull promptly and peremptorily declines the mission when be knews nothing of the habits and temper of the Secretary to whose direc tions be would be subject. And it will not be surprising if General Grant finds it equally hard to secure the ' acceptance of a competent Secretary of State when he pays so little re gard to the dignity and just sensibilities of that officer. SYMPTOMS OF FINANCIAL EMBA1UIASS- MENT IN FltANCE. From the K. Y. Herald. The news came by telegraph a few days ago that the Bank of France bad suspended specie payments, and now we learn that there is to be an immediate issue of paper money of twenty-five frano notes, it is said. The reason given for this is the difficulty of pro curing change for notes of a higher denomi nation and. the necessity ot anording relief. The hundred franc notes are useless for ordi nary purposes, and change cannot be easily obtained for even fifty frano notes. This BteD of issuing paper money is the first one. we think, leading to a flood of such promises to pay. The enormous expenditure of the Government to carry on this gi gantic war and the suspension of busi ness will soon force, probably, a large issue of paper money. Should the war con tinue to be unfavorable to France, or should it even with some successes threaten to be a prolonged one, the Emperor would find it difficult to raise a large loan from foreign capitalists, or from capitalists at all. And looking at the precarious situation be and Lis dynasty have been placed in through bis blunders and failures in the war, and at the revolutionary elements that are fermenting in France, it will not be easy to raise such a large loan as bis necessities must call for from the French people. Everything indi rates a large issue of paper money by the government should the war be prolonged; aqI thin will hapten, no doubt, whether Na poleon remains at the head of the-nation, or a revolutionary government takes the control. ' There are few people who are not acquainted with the history of the financial embarrass ment and operations of France during the wars of the great revolution. Though be ginning with moderate issues of paper money at first, the revolutionary government soon found that it was necessary to increase these to meet the demands of the stupendous war it bad undertaken. In a rear or two the country was flooded with assignats and man dats. Although the first were based upon the public lands which had been confiscated from the nobles, the religious establishments and the cvaqres, and were a sort ot land war rant, thev nevertheless soon became almost valueless. A hatful of this paper money at one time would hardly purchase a loaf of bread. The government resorted to the moRt extreme measures to force the circulation and to keep up its credit; it made, in fact, the refusal to receive this money a criminal offense. But though the cnillotine was suspended over the heads of those who refused to receive or attempted to throw discredit nnon the assicrnats and mandats, this did not prevent the extraordi nary depreciation of them. It is not unlikely that we may witness a similar state of things should the present war continue long, and especially should another revolutionary gov ernment be organized in Paris. True, ! ranee is richer and has tar more resources now than at the time of .the first revolution, but the cost of war is nmcu greater at pre sent, and the scale on which it is wag9d now calls for enormous expenditures. Un prepared as we were for war at the time the Southern rebellion broke out, and vast as were our expenditures, some tiiuo elapsed before United States notes were much depreciated. Isor was the credit ot tue re public at any time seriously endangered, we bad no debt worth sneaking about before that event, and we had a country almost unlimited in its resources. It is different with France. It has already a debt of near twenty-five hun dred millions of dollars, aud rich as it may be it has nothing like the resources of this virgin and vast country. 1- ranee has not been at war a month, and still specie payments have been suspended and there is to be a largo issue of paper money. This is only the be ginning, and should the war continue we mny expect fearful financial embarrassments, with a resort, probably, to something w;e the forced circulation of mandats and nssijm.i'.s during the time of the first revolution. FAMILY DIFFERENCES. From the A. Y. Times. Encouraged, perhaps, by the courteous re ception extended by the Southern Demo cratic press to its "earnest word ' in favor of moderation and conciliation in the construc tion of local platforms, the World now ad ministers to the same section some very sensible advice with regard to the selection of candidates It previously urged the avoid ance of the irritating issues which were inci dent to the reconstruction era: it proposed that the negro question should be quietly discarded, and all "dead issues abandoned. Now it suggests that only those persons shall be nominated to whom neither the tost oath nor the fourteenth amendment will present insurmountable obstacles. mere was a time, ana mat not long ago, when these suggestions would have subjected the World to maledictions loud and deep. Our contemporary then stood almost alone in its moderation the Chicago 'Times and the Louisville Courit-r Journal being its only conspicuous allies. The change which has occurred in this respect is very significant. The untamed fire-eater of the Mobile Regis ter met the proposition in favor of "accepting the situation witn tne declaration that "this is a white man's government." Generally, however, the Democratic journals of the South, and such Southern Democratic organi zations as have given expression to their opinions, have shown a determination to con- line the fall campaign to living questions, and the nominations to candidates whose eligibility is undoubted. An address of the victors in North Carolina breathes the same spirit. It dwells upon the necessity of establishing friendly relations between whites and blacks, and of so treating the latter that they shall be brought into political alliance with the Democracy. In other words, it is proposed to turn negro suffrage to partisan account, instead of assailing it as hitherto. The lesson is a bard one to teach, as the Louisville Courier-Journal can testify; but the fact that it is being taught in several of the old slave-holding States is a sign of progress which no prudent Republican will ignore. Unfortunately tor tne Woria, tnere are two or three ngly facts whose significance lies in the opposite direction. One of them is that, notwithstanding the address ot the Congres sional Democratic Committee in favor of dropping "dead issues," the Democratic mem bers of the House refused to join in a decla ration that the recent constitutional amend ments came witnin tnat category, buch a refusal reveals a purpose to retain these amendments, and the policy of reconstruc tion with which they are identified, as grounds of partisan agitation. Nor has any thing occurred to show that the Northern and Western members, who thus falsified the terms of their own address, acted at variance with the views of their con stituents, in tne lowa uonvention, we believe, common sense triumphed over in sanity on the negro question; but,so far as we know, the case is exceptional, xne Maine Democracy, who met in convention on Tues day, do not, indeed, name the nagro in their resolutions, but they violently assail the legis- tion of which negro sun rage is an essential part. Reciting acts of the national adminis tration, the Maine platform affirms that "in many of the States it has established military despotisms, trying tnereoy to intimidate tne people thereof, and make them subservient to their wicked rule. vv ltn tne untruthful ness of the statement we have for the moment nothing to do. We adduce it only to prove that when the World and its colaborers have lod the Southern wing of their party to adopt moderate platforms, and nominate moderate candidates, they will find among Northern Democrats ample opportunities for tue exer cise of their persuasive power and their re forming influence. What may happen before the campaign fairly begins, we will not attempt to predict. This, however, we at present know the con test between the extremists and the mode rates is not over. The moderates have per ceptibly gained ground, but the party, as a party, is yet far from accepting the sagacio is counsel of the World. 6PEOIAL NOTICES. e-- KOTICE IS H&ItBUY GIVEN TII T AN application will be in a do at the next meeting of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of I'eniii'.vlvaiila for the litcorporailou ot a lUuk. lu ac cordance with the laws of the Comiuuuweulth, to be entitled TUB BKIDESBI'K BNK. to be local! ut PlUlailulpUnt, with a c-spittil of one hrndrt thou sand dollar, with the tltrht to tucreasc the same to Ovc hundred tuousand dollar.
