The most determined at- tompt in this dircotion was made under the Rogency of the Duke of Orleans, who usurped the throne of France upon the de- mise of Lous XIV., and undor tho direct suporvision of Jontx Law, the famons Scotch spcculator, whobecamo the Regont'a Financa Minister, It was Law's notion that, na the world bnd advanced from the primitive ox- changa of merchandise, or bartor, to an ex- chnngo by menns of a moro convenient and portablo kind of merchandise, acceptod by common consont as an equivalent of valpes, so it conld be induced to cffect fts exchanges Ly an ngrecd medium of no valno whatover.

Io modo n desperalo effort to fonnd this systom, and had the ap- proval and support of the CGovernment. ‘The reanlt was disnstor to the peaple, disgraco {o the Governnent, and iufamy to Law, who bd to floo from the country to savo his lifo. Law first started o private bauk in Taris, nnd, though it was on an insecurs bnsis, n prosperous businoss was done by adhering to the mles of Lanking, and rcdeoming its paper on demand. This bank afterwands beoamo n Roynl and Government institu. tion, aud ncquired certain valuable grants ond privileges. - Tho flunuces of Franca woro in a doplorablo state. Thoro Lad boon partial repudiation of the debt and dobasoment of the coinnge. The Govern. ment Bank, with Law as Govornor-Goneral, took tho entirc national debt; that is to say, tho debt was callod in and the holders had the option of taking sharcs in tho India Company or Government bank notes; it was cquivalent to paying tho debt in irre. deemmnble papor currency. Law's bauk pur. olinsed the privileges of farming and collect- ing tho rovenues, the cxclnsivo rights of trading boyond Capo Good Ilope, the rog- ulntion of the coinngo, and the goneral man. ngement of the finances, The circulating notes were mn up to 2,690,000,000 franca (nbont £540,000,000), oll of which wero irrcdoomnblo excopt tho ten.frauc notes, whicli amounted to about £5,000,000, At that timo tho circnlation amonnted o more per capita than was over reached in this country. 'The ourroucy was in every respoct *‘absolute ménoy.” Tho Government was ot tho back of it, Thero was an ora of wild speculation, and then arcollapse. As the peoplo lost oconfldonce, tho Government mado new offorts to, sustain its ¢ absoluto money.” Now flata woro issued, It was do- creed, for instance, that coin should not be used in paymonts for moro than 100 francs (20), and that tho bank notes should bo worth & per cont more than coin, But tho decroe was in vain. Tho transportation of coin from city to city was forbidden by law, Tecolnage was ordored for the purpose of further debasement, and all coin not bronght to the minta for this purposs wna to bo con- fiseated. * Finally it was mado a misde- meanor for any porson fo keop more than $100 in coln in his possession ot one time; the offenss was puuishablo with a fine of 10, 000{ranés, holfof which went to the informer, and thus encouraged a most infamons systom of esplonage. An iuterconveriible system was ofterwards tried, under which bLouk shares and notes wera interchangenblo at a fixod rate. lut it was all of uo avail. Gov- erument flat was iwpotent, no matter what form it took, to force peoplo to accept as o thing of valuo a ploco of paper that was nqt evon a promise to pny. Within twelve months from tho time tho system was in the highest credit tho collapss came, First, there was & Governmont decreo roducing the value of tho notes to 60 per cont ; lator, tho notes, thus repudiated in part, were mada convertiblo into rontes at 2 por cent, aud tho delusion of absoluto money was aban. doned.

But a faction was organized in favor of ‘“‘more money"; it proceeded upon the South American plan, bought up tho Gonerals of the army, drove the consorvativo Prosidont out of the country, aud fnstalled otie Peoro VeuiLra as Preaident, ‘This was ia tho sumuer of 1874, Within ton days after the now *clec. tion,” ou jssue of papor money amounting to §10,000,000 was docroed.

At the Demo- cratic Convention in tho Fonrth District, the opposing candidates for nomination wero 1L H. Hanniy, tho present incumbent, and Hesny Persoxs.

The London Times, In its editorial and other columny, has lately useil a vory pan. icky tona about the Rank of England, It has given an nnusual amount of spnca to the discussion of reforms in tho banking econ. omy of London. Tho Bank of Eugland and the Tondon joint-stock banks are privato corporations, bt their condition is a matter of vast pnblicconcorn, Envest Sgrp, known i Europe as o monotary sauthority, and in this_conntry ns the alleged accrot agent of tho Britiah Government in golling tho silver dollar demonotized, hns warned tho Dritish prublic that troublo {s ahend. Ho contrasts the results of tho management of the Bank of England with that of the Bank of France. In Frauco, tho crisis faa rre occurrencs; England is tho conntry of ponics. Tho business-men of London are nover at rest throo months at a time. Tho Zimes of tho 10th inst. mays: “'A more uncertain time hns rarely been faced by English bankors.” There is no snch com- pinint in Franco, An olaborato lettor in’ the Zimes ndmita that thd situation is porilons, whilo opposig Bir Josern McKennA's reme- dy of o tax on eall deposits, with the purpose of encouraging the growth of timo deposits, Tho Saturday Review takes up the topie, and calls nttontion to tho singular fact that, with a languid monay markat, tha rate of interost appronches the stringent point, Soveral vory iulelligont correspondonts have dis. cussed various aspects of the difiiculty in tho columing of tha Z'%mes, nad nwong them havo been bankers of high position in Lon. don. What theso nowspapors and bankera aro trembling abont is *‘a bullion panie.” Franco holds no less thau R130,000,000 of English cxchange, with which, if she cliooses, sho can draw out gold; Germany s drawing gold for its vilver; tho United Blatos aro drawing gold for the resumption of specie-pnymonts. The Btate banks and privato bankers of Germany, Delginm, ITol- Innd, Austrin, and other countries, hold Inrgo nmounts of billson England for which they may draw gold, ‘There havo been bullion panics in En- gland, and tho presont situation of finnnces is uow said to bo *moroe precarions than ever before.” 'Tho Bank of England lad re- cently to solt Inrge amounts of its consols and othor permanent investments for chsh with which to make good ita reserve, Ko natural a trado movement as heavy importations into England from this conutry of corn and cot- ton aro roferred to na *‘cnuses of presont nnxiely and pressure,” on nccount of tho Lultion that must goaway to pay for thom. Evidontly tho finaneinl situation is one of grent strain, The London joint-stock banks aro carrying deposita of $500,000,000, with totnl capital and roservesof oaly £57,500,000; £40,000,000 of thisis In tho vaultaof tho Buauk of Engiand, and only $17,500,000 on hand, Tho Bank of England in tho st nine years has changed iis rato of disconnt 100 timnes, whilo the Bank of Franca has mndo but twonty-four chauges. Tho secrot of the troublo in British finnucos is confessed by the Saturday Iletiew to bo the growing de- maond for gold. ! To mnke good the wearand tear of the Dritish gold currency costs £23,000,000 o year. For all the gold-nsing countriea 100,000,000 of now gold are neccssary nn- nually, Germany, tho United States, and Holland are nll ncenmulnting gold. All the whila the supply of gald is fallivg off.
