Wimi Napoleon Cost Barop?. No question in European politics at tbe preseut moment is of suob vital im? portance as tho financial question. Wo see one great country of that oontinent, panting under the hoof of a foreign con? queror, straining ever; nerve to bring forward the huge ransom demanded for her delivery, while most of the rest would only too gladly engage in war if the nervus vertan were not wanting. But war has become so costly now a days that full coffer? are indispensable for its proper prosecution, and so nations aro forced to keep tho peaoo oven ngainst their own will. In a work recently issued at London, (Dudley Baxter's "National Debts,") we find a mont interesting expose of the pre? sent financial stunding of tho different powers of Europe, the writer dwelling particularly lipon the increase of tho debts after Napoleon III got into power. Mr. Baxter claims that no age ever pos? sessed a costlier monarch, and that the twenty years of bis reign were the most expensive the world ever witnessed. During that timo tho wholo indebted? ness of Europe was moro than doubled, and this in spite of an increased taxa? tion. This increase was most remarka? ble in France itBelf, which almost quad? rupled her debt in those years. "Whoo Louis Philippe waB dethroned on the 24th of February, 1848, tho French na? tional debt amounted to about $9,000, OOO, which was increased under tut French republic, at whose head wai Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, by o little more than $300,000,000. The em? pire was never more successful than ic tho creation of debts. Its costly im provenants, but particularly tho wars il waged in all parts of the world, bad in? creased its debt at the beginning of thc last war to abont $2,700,000,000, and, il we calculate the expenses whioh since then have befullen France, and which il will still have to incur in order to wi pt out the effects of the war, inoluding th? $1,000,000,000 to bo paid to Germunv wo hardly think that $5,000,000,000 wil cover it all. So we seo that France hat paid for tho glory of being ruled by i name-sake of the great Nupoleon as < ??(ate about $4,000,000,000, besides los ing her commanding position in Europe and two of her best provinces, not t< count the terrible deluge of bu mai blood that bas been shed upon her fields "We say as a Slate, because the debts o the different cities of Franco have like wise increased during the last twenty years in a most alarming manner, not te spsak of the losses to individuals. Wen we to figure on the latter, we woule reach still more astounding results, bu we will at present confine ourselves t< the debts of the different municipalities The debt of tho city of Paris, before tin war, boro an interest of about $5,000, 000, or about $3 annually to every heat of its population. The debts of th< other largo cities of Franco wero esti mated, before the war, at abont $150, 000,000, and tho expenses of the war inoluding the two sieges of Paris, hnv assuredly increased the debt of nil th French municipalities to $1,000,000,000 This shows plainly what a dear empero Napoleon III was to Frauce, and bo> desirable his restoration would be. No only the debt of France, but also that o the other European powers, has in creased vastly during his reign, and fo the most part in consequence of wars h was at the bottom of. The kingdom c Sardinia, the germ which nineo then bu sprouted into tho kingdom of Italy owed in 1848 only $25,000,000. At th instigation of tho Emperor ol France the little kingdom went into such es penses to improve her army that its del. had increased to $200,000,000 at th commencement of tho war of 1S59, au at preseut is no less than $1,500,000,00( Austria is not muoh better off. Sh is the laud of a constant deficit, saj Baxter. Sinco n hundred years ber re venues have fallen every year far belo ber expenses. In 1848 her debt amour) ed to $000,000,000, but in 1860, after tl wars with Franco and Prussia, in bot of which Baxter sees the inspiring g< mus of Napoleon III, who at that peria had not yet learned to appreciate tl: wonderful strength of Prussia, it ha risen to about $1,000,000,000. Russia is niuo a country of constat deficits. Her debt of $700,000,000 b fore tho Crimean war was increased t more than double by that struggle, an the troubles in Polund, iucited main by Napoleon's agents, have heaped sii moro burdens upon that country. The other countries of Europe ha' been similarly affecten!. Spain au Greece have borrowed BO much moni that their credit has been utterly ruine England bus been forced to make ii meuse outlays in consequence of tl many wars. Turkey, which had no deb previous to the Crimean war, bas i dulged iu that luxury since then to tl amount of about $600,000,000, and si is forced to issuo bonds again and agui while E?ypt increases her debt eve year by $20,000,000. Summing up. Mr. Bnxter finds th the national debts of Europe have i creased, since 1840, by about $12,001 000,000, whioh is an annual increase more than $500,000,000. The sum toi of all the national debts of the world the present moment in about $23,001 000,000. What baa been done with tl immense sum? he asks. How much it bas been used for railroads, canals a1 public works? Not quite twelvo p cont., while at least eighty-eight j cent, of it, or more than $20,000,000,01 have been expended for war purposi More than $10,000,000,000 of this i tional indebtedness have been used f such a purpose nineo 1840, not to cou the vast sums annually expended frc the general revenues. The overwbel ingly largest part of tbe wars that ma these expenses, however, ore laid to Na? poleon's door. France took an active part under his leadership in the follow? ing wars, being always on the offensive: The Crimean war; the Italian campaign of 1859; the struggles with Garibaldi and the Italians for the possession of Rome; tho expeditions to Syria, China, Siam and Coohin Chino; tho Franco Mexican war, and last, but not least, the great Franco-Prussian war of 1870. While it took a leading part in these struggles, Frenob diplomacy was deeply concerned in the provocation of many other wara which disturbed tho poace of Europe during the reign of Napoleon HE, who indeed seems to havo been a very costly individual for Europe. Mr. Baxter calculates the relutive pro? portions of national debts in four differ? ent ways. First, he counts up tho rela? tive amounts of the debt; thou again tho amount of interest paid; third, the amount according to each head of tho population; and last, the relative pro? portions compared with tho national re? venues. From thcBO, we seo that tho interest of the public debt falls on every bead in tho different countries annnallv as follows: Eugloud. $3 50; Italy, ?2 50; Frunce, (uol including the expenses of tho German war and tho indemnity, which will increase it to ubout double,) $2.25; Austria, $2.00; Germany, 851 cents; Ruasia, 82 ceuts. According to 1 this calculation, England is worst off, but ber revenues are so large that tho CUBO is really quito different. Wo have no suro reports of Russia and somo other countries of Europe, but they aro cer? tainly proportionally uot so largo os those of England. In those countries in which reliable reports of tho national revenue exist, tho amount required for tho pay? ment of the interest on tho national debt is in tho following proportion to tho na? tional revenues: England, 2 8-10 per cent, j France, 2 3-10 per cent., (always not including the luaus since the Ger? man war;) Austria, 2 2-10 per cont., and Germany, 1 per cent. In conclusion, Mr. Baxter contrasts tho rapid decrease of tho debt of tho United States with tho slow process of the reduction of tho English debt, aud states that Europe has good cause to bo alarmed at our progress. THE COMMUNIST TRIALS.-A singular faot, noticed by all French correspond? ents, is the almost absolute indifference with which the people of Franco look upon the Communist trials at Versailles. In fact it can bo said that the interest felt for them is vastly greater every? where elso than in the country where the prisoners but lately played such a prominent and bloody role. While English, German and American papers devote a considerable portion of their space to the subject, and muuy foreign? ers have made extra trips to witness the trials, the French press gives but meagre reports, and tho oourt room, by no means of extraordinary extent, con? tains half-empty benches. This is all the more remarkable, as French halls of justice aro geuerully filled even dur? ing insignificant case* with an attentive audienco, and a prominont murder trial is watched with feverish anxiety all over tho country. But what is tho cause of this luck of interest iu cases which, by their horrid and bloody character and by tho number of the defendants and tho position they aro going to occupy in tho world's history, are destined to throw all other daises celebres into the shade? It seems as though the government of M. Thiers, which is still in a terrible fear of that many-headed monster, the mob of Paris and the othor larger cities of France, avoided the danger of placing the accused in a sort of romantic light and of giving them a chance to arouse tho sympathies of the lower classes whose martyrs they claim to bo, by directing tho whole prosecution into purely technical and most uninteresting channels. Tho proceedings were thus drawn at length, and tho accused, judged one by one, deprived of the occasion to place themselves as n wholo on u heroin pedestal, und, by passion? ate appeals to the French laboring classes, wrap around 'themselves a sort of poetic halo, "ti la Girondins," which has never failed to ho effective iu Franco. Another probablo cause of the lack of public interest iu thu proceedings is tho idea prevalent among the French people that tho fate of the prisoners has boen fixed in advance, and that the (loreru? aient means to show clemency to them. One of the Supreme Courts of France has decided in a recent caso that all death sentences passed upon political prisoners are void, as the death penalty for politi- ' cal prisoners bas bceu abolished in France. It is believed that M. Thiers is also opposed to the death ponalty on ac? count of the frequent delays grunted to the insurgents of Marseilles, Creniioux and his confederates, condemned to death hy a court martial in that city; do lays which uro looked upon with uuy thiug but a favorable eye hy tho con? servative majority of the French Nation? al Assembly. It is well kuowu besides that tho Radical Republicans, whose great strongth lies in Paris, aro making tremendous efforts to ameliorate the fate of the accused, and there is u probabili? ty that Thiers, always a man of com? promise, will liston to thom in a certain sense. This may go far to explain tho remarkable indifference of the public, which does not expect to sea the affair ?mt! in a tragical manner, and hence takes uo interest in the same. At tho election in Wyoming, whore the ladies voted, it seems they "went*' tho Democratic ticket. If they will do this everywhere, we shall havo no objec? tion to taking them on trial. The de? spatch giving the returns says: "About one-sixth of the votes cast in Laramie County were by women. The County gives a large Democratic majority." Mr. ?. T. Bte wart's regal mansion, the progress of whioh has engrossed the at? tention of Fifth avenue promenaders for so many years, is now rapidly approach? ing completion, and the next great sen? sation in New York tipper circles of society will be the opening reception at this magnificent mansion. With the ex? terior, with its Corinthian columns, Re? naissance .ornamentation and French roof, most persons who have tho gift of sight aro familiar. Bot few have any but the most remote idea of the gorge- : ousness of the interior. On entering, the visitor sees first a vestibule of solid marble. Tho floors, walls, staircases, ceilings, are all of the purest Italian marble, so superbly polished that the effect is almost that of a chamber of crystal. Beyond tho vestibule is seen tho open'entrance to tho picture gallery, with its wealth of paintings and its flood of mellow light from a domed coiling fifty feet in height. There aro also statues, chandeliers and general articles af hull furniture, all of the most superb description. The reception rooms and parlors are overwhelmingly arrayed with mirrors reaching to tho ceiling and framed with Mosaic work. The chairs and sofas will be of gilt and inlaid wood, and upholstered with blue satin, and the carpets aro to bo of indescribable mag? nificence. Tho musio room, dining room, breakfast room and sleeping apart? ments, will bo furnished in tho same elaborato and tnsteful manner, with the peculiarities appropriate to each. From sub-cellar to the topmost floor everything is consistent, complete and palatial, and tho whole edifice is a fitting residence for Now York's merchant prince. TAKING A SWIM.-In Ohio, last week, twenty Baptist clergymon who were at? tending a convention went down to a BO cludcd ?pot on tho river bank, in tho af? ternoon, for tho purpose of taking a swim. This score of brethren removed their clothing, and placed it upon a rail? road track closo at hand, because tho grus'i was wet. Then they cnterod tho water and enjoyed tbemsolves. Pre? sently an express train came around tho curve, at tho rate of forty miles an hour, und beforo any of the swimmers could reach dry land, all those undershirts nnd Bocks and things wore fluttering from tho cow-catcher and speeding on toward Kansas. It was painful for thc brethren, exceedingly painful, heoauso all tho clothing that could be found, after a careful search, was a sun umbrel? la and a pair of eye-glasses. And they do Bay that when those twenty marched homo by tho refulgent light of tho moon that evening, in single file, and keeping closo together, the most familiar ac? quaintance- with tho Zounve drill on tho part of the mau at the head with the umbrella, still hardly sufficed to cover them completely. They said they felt conspicuous, Bomchow, and the situation was made all the more embarrassing be? cause that night all tho Dorcas Societies and tho Women's Rights Conventions and the pupils at tho Female Boarding School, seemed to be prancing around the route of the parado. POUT ROYATJ RAILROAD.-Tho Beau? fort Jicpubliam says: It is tho intention of the superintendent to commence run? ning freight trams in October over thc finished p.irt of tho road, to connect with Savannah and Charleston trains nt Yeuassee. Three new saw mills aro be? ing built on tho lino of the road above Yemassce, which, with those now there, will ship 1,000,000 feet of lumber per mouth, if facilities for shipping ure fur? nished. A GOOD SHOT.-Ou the 4th inst., Tom Dillard, Jr., of Sussex County, Virginia, aged IC years, killed with a single burrel shot-gnu. loaded with buckshot, two bucks, weighing 150 pounds each, all at ono fire. Dillard was sitting on tho top rail of a fenco when a herd of five deer approached, and two of them bit the dust after ono discharge of Mr. D.'s trusty weapon. Tho human bones discovered in North Carolina, and described in a Petersburg (Va.) paper of last week as of gigautic size, turns out upon measurement to bo of ordinary dimensions. A very sad occurrence took placo in Washington County, Gu., on last Satur? day. Mr. Sea'ou Grauthind was killed by his father-in- law, Dr. W. W. Carr.
