JIOW OUR NATIONAL FINANCES ARK MANAGED. A Nf.w Japanese embassy, headed by a Ja panese Assistant Minister of Finance, has arrived at Washington for the purpose of making minute investigations into the finan cial polioy of this country, and the general management of the publio funds. Jushe Hirobumie Its, who is the leader of this mission, will find much to admire in the or ganization of the Treasury Department and its diversified branches. He will discover that admirable plans have been devised for the collection, safe-keeping, and disburse ment of thousands of millions of dollars; that a series of checks and counter-checks moke vulgar defalcations nearly impossible; and that immense numbers of huge aooounts are correctly adjusted. He will behold won derful evidenoes of the capacity of the peo ple to endure onerous taxation, of anunf alter ing determination to maintain the public credit, and of fidelity, in many quarters, in matters relating to the receipts and expendi tures of the Government. If the Honorable Jushe nirobumie Ito stops after making these investigations, he will carry back with him to Japan the im pression that we have discovered the secret hidden from all other wealthy nations, of spending the public money solely for the publio good; of putting on taxation only to the extent absolutely required; of' spending money only where expenditure is imperatively necetit-ary; and of guarding the national trea sure as vigilantly as the miser guards his worshipped hoard. Bat the Honorable Ito will commit a sad error if he prematurely adopts such conclusions. He will have to look beneath the mere machinery by which money is col lected and paid out, to the influences that mould the laws and issue the orders under which payments are made, before he can fathom the secret springs of the financial policy of the United States. He will have to comprehend that while Congress theoretically holds the purse-strings, it necessarily intrusts practical disbursements to various exeoutive officials, and by the time he understands how these officials occasionally exercise the dis cretionary power with which they are endowed, he will see that there is a good deal of human nature in man on this side of the wide waters of the Tacifio as well as in Ormus or in Ind. Travellers have affirmed that in the domains of some despotic Oriental princes the ap proaches to power were guarded by such an exacting set of intermediate officials that it could be set down as a rule that articles for which the vender received but a dollar usually drew ten dollars from the strong-box of the prince. We have got nothing quite so bad as this, as a regular system, in this country, but in some ramifications of American government there are dangerous approaches to it. To an unscrupulous man who possesses superabundant political influ ence in the United States, all the laws on the statute-books and all the checks of the Trea sury Department furnish but feeble safe guards for the public treasure. The golden apples cannot easily be stolen by uninfluen tial thieves; but if a smooth-tongued and plausible pilferer happens to have the ear of a Cabinet minister, the special favor of the head of an important bureau, or the power to smuggle a few insidious clauses into an appropriation bill, it is wonderful how quickly fortunes may be made out of airy nothings, and how speedily vast sums disappear from the Treasury for which the American peop'e reoeive no sub stantial equivalent. Take the case exposed in the House bf Representatives a few days ago by Mr. Dawes, as an illustration we mean the Chorpenning case. The Honorable Ito will find it hard to discover a parallel in all the annals of corruption in Japan, China, or India. Thirteen years after a mail con tractor has completed his contract, and got all the money to which he was legitimately entitled, he is only prevented, by a fortunate accident, from pocketing hall a million dollars of the peo ple's money on a pretext so flimsy that it is cot worth a moment's consideration ! They cannot do much worse than this under any system of extortion that the genius of Asiatio official corruption can invent. For tunately, the contemplated wrong seems in this instance to have been arrested, but the mere fact that it was so nearly consummated may well make the American people shudder with the fear that from time to time Bimilar schemes are completely successful; and that, as the years roll on, official corruption ia oi easts with frightful rapidity. 71IE LOSSES IN THE WAR. Whin Napoleon started upon his grand era fade against Prussia last summer, it was with the openly avowed purpose of celebrat ing the fete day of his uncle in Berlin. Bat, while the I.Mh of August found the Emperor himself a fugitive from Metz, and his princi pal army just entering upon a fruitless strug gle to get away from the Moselle in the direc tion of Paris, the advance guard of the Frenoh had entered the Prussian capital on the 3th of August, net as conquerors, but as prison ers of war. They were the heralds of a grand liegira, the forerunners of a captive multi tude which was destined, in less than five months, to exceed the third of a million in numbers. According to official returns there were, on the l.'ith of October, S."i77 officers and 1215,700 men held as prisoners of war in Germany. By the 28th of October the number had been increased to 173,000, including three Mar shals of the Empire and about 0000 officers. On the 28th of November the number was swelled to 1",2"3 officers and 30,1,342 men, and by the 1st of January the number was re ported at 11,100 officers and 333,88;; men. There is here a slight discrepancy in the figures, but the captive host was so numerous that a few thousands more or less are of but little account. While it is impossible to give the exact number captured previous to the fall of Paris, with the battle or siege in which they were taken, we present the following statement, made up from the reports pub lished from time to time, the official figures being given in all cases in which they have been announced: At Wclssonburg 1,000 At Woerth a,0iH) AtForbach 2,500 AronnU Metz 6,000 AtVitrjr ... 850 At Sedan, before capitulation ts.oiH) At Pednn, by the capitulation 86,T9i At Laon 2,000 AtTonl ,buo At Strasbtirg 15,7S AtSolgsons 4,75 At Schlestadt 1,400 By the capitulation of Metz lss.ooo AtTblonville 5,000 Bj the first capture of Orleans 6,000 At Verdun 4,000 At Nenf Bretsach 6,000 AtriBlHburg 1.8S9 By the second capture of Orleans 10,000 At Montmedy 3,000 AtNultifc 000 In the pursuit to Le Mans 10,000 lu the battles of Le Mans 22,000 AtMessieres 2,000 AtPeronne 3,800 At Villernexel 800 Around BeUort 2,000 At St. uentifl 9,000. AtLontfwy : 3,800 Making a total of 393,810 The offioers are not in all cases distin guished from the soldiers, and it is impossi ble to give in detail the number of the former captured. The grand total of 300,800, which is probably but slightly in exoess of the true figures, includes only the unwounded pri soners taken previous to the fall of Paris, and exclusive of those captured during the siepe of that city, the aggregate Frenoh loss being swelled to still more startling propor tions by adding the number of killed and wounded. A low estimate of the killed and wounded g'ves the following result: In the battles and retreat from Welsscnburg to the Moselle 30,000 In the battles around Metz 85,000 In the siege of Metz 15,000 In the battles around Sedan 40,000 In tho battles around Orleans 10,000 In the battles around Amiens 6,000 In the battles around Ueirort 10,000 In the battles around Paris 10,000 In the Una-rent sieges 10,000 150,000 Placing the aggregate number of un wounded prisoners at 390,000, we have an aggregate French loss, since the oommenoo ment of hostilities, and exclusive of tho cap tures at Paris, of 5iG,000. It is impossible to arrive at the extent of the loss sustained by the Germans, and diffi cult even to approximate to it. During the earlier period of the war, especially ia 'the battles in the open field which preoedod the capitulation of Sedan, the French fire was even more effective than that of the Ger mans, and the loss sustained by the latter in killed and wounded was doubless greater than that of their antagonists. But when the war assumed its second aBpect that of a struggle for the possession of the cities and fortresses there was a material change, and taken altogether, the aggregate German loss in killed and wounded ia probably not greater than that of the French, while it will doubtless be found to equal it. In the matter of prisoners, however, the German losses have been so insignifi cant as scaroely to affect their aggregate loss. The official reports showed that up to the 4th of October the Germans had sustained a loss of 522 officers and 7C75 men killed, 1553 officers and 32,945 men wounded, and 121 officers and 5300 men missing a total loss of 2104 officers and 4 G, 4 S0 men. Reports published about the 10th of Deoember place the Ger man loss in killed and wounded at 3818 offi cers and 50,025 men, and in missing at 41 officers and 7001 men a total loss of 3350 officers and 00,030 men. These figures do not, however, include the two Bavarian and one Wurtemberg corps and the division of Hesse-Darmstadt, which suffered perhaps more than any other portions of the German army. The figures are doubtless understated, and a fair estimate will not place the German loss below 150,000. It is by a contemplation of these figures that we arrive at a just conception of the magnitude and destructiveness of the straggle which was precipitated upon Europe by the anxiety of General Prim to fill the vacant throne ef Spain. But the candidature of Prince Leopold was merely the pretext seized upon by the ex-Emperor of the French for an assault upon Prussia for what ho was pleased to regard as her aggrandizing policy. The haste with which be rushed into the unequal contest, together with the complete demoralization of the army and people of France which the policy of his reign had wrought, cost hi in his sceptre, for hich France has profound cause to be grate ful. The marvellous suocess which has at tended the German arms from first to last has given to the Fatherland the realization of that grand idea of German unity for which her people have been longing for years, and in iLis view of the subject, the war has bead productive of the most benefisial results. But when we come to contemplate the 300,000 ki led tnd wounded on both sides, and the desolation of one of the fairest see tioas of Europe, we may well doubt the equality of the fruits of the war with the terrible sacrifices of blood and property by wnioh they have been purchased. THE PUIiLIC WILDINGS. Tng bill introduofd some dsy ago in the State, House of Representatives by Mr. Miller, to forbid the erection of the publio buildings at the intersection of Broid and Market streets, was yts'erlay mportol back to the IIouBe by the Commute) on M inioipl Corporations with a negative recommenda tion. The report of the oommitu e is a brief but comprehensive review of the whole ques tion, and is an able argument against any suoh interference with the Building Commis sion as is contemplated in Mr. Miller's bill. In regard to the allegation that tho citizens of Philadelphia were induoed to vote for the Penn Square site by misrepresentations, the report makes this statement of the facts of the cose, a statement that those who have advocated the ereotion of the publio build ings upon Washington and Independence Squares know to be true in every particular. The report says: "Jt appears that on the Wednesday preceding the election the opponents of 1'enu Square had sent ny mall to each of the voters of the city of I'niltidelphu a printed circular containing a wood-cut or the publio buildings located In the centre of Peon Square, which presented a very unfair representa tion of the obstruction of Broad and Market streets, and which circular asserts that the plan thereon printed was a faithful drawlDg of what waa contem plated by the commissioners. 'This circular and diagrams were also published In the daily newspapers, and In large placards posted In public placed. The commissioners, deem ing it their duty to the publio to disavow the adop tion of this plan aud the authorship of the language quoted against them in tho circulars, met two (lavs alter the lwsulng of this document and passed the following resolution : "Jesolvr4, That the officers of this commission be directed to publish, through the publlj press, the fact that no action has been taken by the board touching the location of the public buildings at the In tfi section ol Broad and Market streets, and that the commission Is empowered by act of As sembly either to locate separate bulldtugs upon the four squares, or one buildup at the internee, tion, as the majority of the commission may de termine. 'Thus fur several days before the election the citl Kens of Philadelphia were tuformed by circular!, oy posters, by advertisements, aud by theoHloial decla ration of the commissioners themselves, that the buildings would be erected at tho intersection If a majority of the commissioners so determine, and In the (Hi e of this information they cast over three filths oi their votes for Penn Square. "it would seem a libel upon the intelligence of the people of the metropolis of the State to assert that t.hey voted in the durk for want of proper tutor niutiou." ' Considering the wishes of a majority of the voters of the city of Philadelphia as haviug been clearly and unmistakably expressed, the report then goes on to show the enormous advantages that one building would have over four. It states that according to the affida vits of the arohitect, and the drawings sub mitted to the commission, a single building will cover an area of twenty-four thousand five hundred and thirty-five square feet more than four buildings, and yet the four build ings will require a frontage of two thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight feet more than a single building, thus increasing the expense fifteen or twenty per cent., and at the same time considerably contracting the accommo dations. If four buildiugs are erected, the court-rooms will be obliged to obtain light and air from the sides fronting noisy thorough fares, whereas in a single building light and ventilation will be obtained from the interior court-yard. Four buildings will require four distinct sets of heating apparatus, and every annual expense incident to a publio building will be quadrupled. The statement of the case made in this report from the Committee on Municipal Corporations ought to be sufficient to put a stop to any further agitation of the subject in tho Legislature and to any further attempts to interfere with the commissioners. The clamor against placing the public buildings at the intersection of Broad and Market streets comes entirely from parties who are interested in other sites, and who neither want one building nor four upon Penn Square. To yield to this clamor and to erect four buildings instead of one would be to produce a botched job that every citizen of Philadelphia would be ashamed of before it would be half finished, and that would never give satisfaction to any one. It is the plain duty, therefore, of the Legislature to refuse to listen to any further discussion of the publio buildings controversy, and to sustain the verdiot of the people of Philadelphia as expressed by the very decided vote of last October. Tuh murderer of Mary Mohrmann to-day suffered the penalty of his crime; find dread ful as was his dom, none who remember the fiendish act of which he was guilty, can say that it was undeserved. For many long months the murderer succeeded in defying the officers of the law, and his detection was con sidered almost hopeless, when a series of circumstances occurred which strongly con firmed the suspicions that had already been excited against him, and finally the whole revolting story of the murder was rehearsed by the one person who knew all about it John Hanlon himself. Unable to keep his secret, he told it to a fellow convict, and the testimony of this man, Dunn, was confirmed 'in such a manner by the evidence of other witnesses that not shadow of a doubt re mained in regard to Hanlon's guilt. The mystery of the murder of Mary Mohrmann, that at one time appeared to be impenetrable, bas been cleared up, and to-day outraged justice has claimed its victim, and Hanlon has suffered an ignominious death upon the gallows as a wretch unfit to live among his fellow men.
