NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, The Herald and the Frouch Prese—La Liberte and Emile de Girardin, The Hxratp, as we perceive by cach fresh batch of French papers and by the letters of our special correspondents, is creating more and more a sensation and becoming more and more a power in the French capital, It is long since the merits of the Heratp were appreciated in Paris, that greatest world cen- tre of wit and wisdom, of beauty and of fashion, By the English readiug public in Paris there ave two newspapers eagerly sought after; and of late years, in consequence of the increasing numbers of Americans who now make up so large a portion of the Paris population, it is difficult to say whether the New York Hrrarp or the London Times is more in demand, For some time past the Heratp has certainly been more spoken of and more noticed in the public prints. It is not, however, with the English reading por- tion of the community only that the Hurarp is a favorite. respondence, our fashions letiers have been extensively reproduced and commented upon in the leading Paris and other Irench jour- nals. Our letters from Abyssinia filled the minds of French journalists with wonder and amazement, Our letters from Egypt, espe- cially our fashions letters, during the Suez Canal ceremonies were so sparkling and full of life that they made Frenchmen envious. Close upon these followed the interviews of out spe- cial correspondents with Count Bismarck and Baron Beust—interviews which clearly showed that in the estimation of those two greatest of European statesmen the Heranp was not only far ahead of all party and na- tional journals, but also the most independent and the most cosmopolitan newspaper in the world. These interviews, ‘taken from the Hereatp and extensively republished not only all over Germany, but in France, have, among the Parisians particularly, com- pelled attention to our columns, More recenily still our editorials on the Emperor's reforms, on the Ollivier administration, on the Victor-Noir tragedy, on Prince Pierre Bona- parte and on Henri Rochefort, have all, or almost all, been translated and published in the leading Paris papers; and it is to us a source of some gratification to know that the ground we have taken on these subjecta has been so generally approved of, and that whiléwe have struck terror and disappointment into the hearts of the ‘“‘irreconcilables,” we have con- stributed not a liltle to the support and encour- agement of the progressive but order loving section of the community. Among those who see and acknowledge the superior merits of the Hezap as a great news- paper and world power we are proud to men- tion La Liberté and its distinguished editor, Emile de Girardin, We have now before us a recent copy of the Lidert, which is largely oc- cupied with extracts from our editorial columns. Qur views of the political situation in France are heartily endorsed, and there is pronounced by the editor a somewhat glowing eulogy onthe Heranp’s clearness of vision and absolute impartiality, To such praise from so distinguished a source we do not pre- tend to be indifferent, Of ail men now living in France M. Girardin is perhaps the best qualified to speak of the merits and demerits of journalism. His experience has been large, peculiar and testing. His success has been great. He is indeed one of the very few great journalists whose names will go down to posterity. A man of fine scholarship, of great literary ability, a shrewd politician, and not wholly without opportunities, he might have won distinction in many walks of life; but it is a fact not undeserving of attention that he never realized the fulness of his strengtl until he thundered from La Presse, a journal which he established in 1836, in conjunction with others; nor is it any disparagement to Girar- din to say that from that moment he has never been his true self in any other capacity than that of a journalist. As a politician and a statesman he has not been without distinction. He was an influential member of the Chamber of Deputies in 1834, [In 1848 it was he who received from the hands of Louis Philippe his act of abdication. During the shortlived republic of 1848 and theesiablishment of the second empire no name was more prominent than that of Girardin. His greatest experiences and his greatest triumphs, however, have been won in his cha- racter of journalist. When Girardin estab- lished the Presse he took for his motto ay jour le jour, thus showing that he fully understood the true character of the newspaper. Bound to no party, true only to his motto, reflecting the sentiments of the hour, whatever they might be, difering from all others of to-day and from himself of yesterday, and always writing with a force and pungency that bespoke deep conviction and te le earnest- ness, Girardin soon raised the Presse to the very first rank among journals of the first class. It had no rival in France, no superior in Europe. The vigor and fearlessness of his language has more than once brought Girardin into trouble, His duel with Armand Carrel, in which Carrel fell, grew out of an attack in the columns of the Presse. In 1848 he was locked up in the Conciergerie and his paper suspended, Prosecutions followed in such rapid succession that he sold out in 1856 for some hundred and sixty thousand dollars, Girardin is rich; rich, we believe, rather from the success of certain Eag- lish speculations than from the profits of La Presse. Girardin is now identified with La Liberté, and La Liberté is now very much what La Presse was—not perhaps so furious or so mercilessly severe, but still the greatest newspaper in France. Though now sixty- eight years of age, Girardin is vigorous and active, full of thought and work. Not unmindful of his ancient motto, he ts yet in this crisis in the history of France and in the history of the Bonapartes a stanch friend and a powerful helpec of the Emperor, A true Frenchman as well as a skilful journalist, he sees that if France is ever to arrive at self-government it must be while there is a man at the helm who is possessed of both wisdom and strength. He knows that Napoleon means well, and he knows, too, that if France is not wise the Emperor will tighten the reins which tem- porarily, and with the best intentions, he has slackened, but not let go. On this point La Liberté and the New York Herat touch each other ; but the contact is one of sympa- thy, producing not discord, but harmony. It Our editorials, our special cor." is our conviction that Napoleon really is anx- ious to reconcile the French people to his honae, and that to this end he is willing to grant them the largest amount of liberty com - patible with » stable and vigorous government. This conviction we are proud to see shared by M. Girardin, the Nestor of French journalists, We had almost forgotten to mention that Olli- vier, the hope of France, according to M. Gui- zot, isa disciple and somewhat of a pet of Girardin. It is not out of place here to say, what we must everand again repeat, that the Heratp is the organ of no party, Primarily it looks to the interests of the American people. But its sympathy is with liberty and genuine pro- gress, with popular rights and material advancement all the world over. For these reasons we chronicled our own civil war and preserved its history in our columns, For these reasons we watched. and still do watch those great national movements of which Italy, Austria and Germany aro the principal fields of experiment. For these reasons we followed the British to the highlands of Abyssinia and made known to the world their difficulties and their wondrous achievements. For these reasons we fixed our eyes upon the Suez Canal and lent a helping hand and voice to swell the triumph, For these reasons we have hoped and despaired of Spain, hoped and despaired of the Ecumenical Council. For these same rea- sons we now look upon France and wish suc- cess to the Emperor's reform movement. If Ollivier wins, and the Emperor with his help succeeds in crowning the edifice, La Liberté will not rejoice more heartily than will the New York Herarp. The Churches Yesterday, Inclement weather is a foe to rel least we should suppose go from the fact that the snow storm of yesterday had the effect of keeping a very large proportion of church- goers at home. Doubtless on the principle that all good Christians should avoid slippery places these absentees from divine service abstained from encountering the dangers of the sidewalks. Besides, serenity of mind is essential to religious contemplation, and one can hardly expect damp clothes to impart much warmth to piety. Rather than have the colors washed out of their garments by rain or snow some people forego the opportunity of having their sins washed away, thus showing the relative value placed upon dry goods and souls. {s there not something radically wrong in our religious teachings when a fall of snow possesses the power of deterring hundreds from attending service? If the reader will refer to our very full religious reports, pub- lished on another page, he will ascertain that “the delinquents yesterday were principally members of our moat aristocratic congrega- tions, Now, the Heranp would be lacking in its duty if it did not call the pastors of these churches to account for the shortcomings of their flocks, They must be held responsible. We do not deny that these reverend gentlemen have built thetr churches on rocks, What we fear is that, discovering the mineral to be very rich quartz, they have devoted too much attention to the exiraction of the precious metal, thereby neglecting precious souls and undermining the foundations of faith. We submit the question whether shepherds who receive large salaries should not be unre- mitting in their attention to the sheep ? To those pious people who braved snow and ice all praise be given. The small but de- vout congregation that assembled at the Church of the Divine Paternity, learned from Dr. Chapin that the principles of Christianity exist in the love of God and in the love of one’s neighbor. In this materialistic age there is too little of both, although occasionally we hear ofa little too much of the latter kind of love when bestowed upon a neighbor's wife or hus- band, as the case may be. To preserve an equilibrium it is necessary that there shall be love of God, What God is not and what He is was eloquently explained yesterday at the Church of the Messiah, while at Grace church Rev. Philip Brooks, of Philadelphia, told what faith is. The two sermons combined furnish the whole subject of religion. There are, however, the details which were profoundly argued at the Church ot the New Jerusalem by Rev. Chauncey Giles, who spoke on the necessity of having heaven in the sonl; at the Broadway Taber- nacle the same subject was discussed, in dif- ferent language, of conrse; at the Madison Avenue Baptist church, where the congroga- tion were shown the evidences of the divinity of the Christian religion and the evidences of God’s grace, and at the Church of St. Paul the Apostle, where Father Hewitt preached ably on prayer, describing the difficulties the Christian has to encounter from the world, the flesh and the devil. At St, Paul’s chapel Dr. Dix gave some instructions to his flock on their duties during the Lenten season, while at Lyric Hall Rev. Mr. Frothing- ham was very uncertain whether it was pre- ferable to be inside or outside of Eden. He, however, emphatically declared it to be impos- sible for an American to be inside of that place—why, he did not explain clearly, The large number of churches whose ser- vices and sermons are reported in this morn- ing’s Hrratp renders it impossible for us to refer to all. We shall, therefore, close by stating that, notwithstanding the black sheep were numerous, there were many thousands of good Christians who attended divine service yesterday, prayed fervently and listened soberly to instructive sermons. It is true they laughed at Plymouth church, for there Brother Beecher described the hu- morous side of human misery. But they always laugh at the Tabernacle of the Brooklyn Saints, and will probably astonish St. Peter with a giggle whenghe opens the gate to admit them to Paradise, Still, if hu- man misery is capable of recognizing its com- icalities as Mr. Beecher describes them, we be- lieve there were many men and women in this world yesterday who are not so wretched as might be supposed. And to them particularly, in closing this article, we offer balm for the wounded aud rest for the wear, Tur New Postage Stamps will probably be ready for use in April. They are said to be much better than those now ia use. We cannot.see that they could be much worse, and as we have had several changes lately we hope the national designer has pitched this time upon 9 stamo that will stick. MARCH 14, 1870.—TRIPLE Tho Funding Bill—Thoe National Banks Get the Cream. In looking at the text of the Funding bill as it passed the Senate on Friday it is evident that this measure has been worked up for the special benefit of the national banks, and that the apparent opposition of those institutions was to cover up a gigantic scheme for plunder- ing the public, The last section of the bill contains the gist and purpose of it. Any banking association organized or to be organ- ized, upon depositing with the Treasurer United States notes to any amount not less than fifty thousand dollars, may receive an equal amount of registered bonds of the kind provided for by section three of the act, and may deposit the same as security for circu- lating notes; and thereupon such banking association shall be entitled to and shall receive circulating notes upon terms and con- ditions and to the extent provided in the National Bank acta. And now mark, this is to be “without respect to the limitation of the aggregate circulation of national currency prescribed by such acts; provided, however, that as circulatiug notes are issned under this section an equal amount of United States notes. shall be cancelled and destroyed.” Here, then, in this insidious manner, and at one stroke, the legal tender notes are to he pushed out of existence and the whole cur- rency of the country to he given to the national banks. The three hundred millions of national bank circulation is to be increased to six or seven hundred millions. There is no limit but in the amount of greouback currency, for which the national bank notes are to be substituted. The aggregate circulation, there- fore, of the national banks, will be little less than seven hundred millions. The ouly condition is that as fast as new banks are organized and notes are issued to them, or an increased issue is made to the old ones, an equal amount of United States notes dre to be cancelled and destroyed. If this bill should pass the House and the Presi- dent should sign it we shall soon lose sight of the legal tenders. Mr. Chase’a bull from the Supreme Court against this cheap curreney of the people will be thus practically carried out, The father of the greenbacks dug the grave for his own offspring, and Congresa will close it up beyond the hope of resurrection. When the whole circulation of the country is in the hands of the national banks it will be a leng time before we see any other, These associations are far more powerful than the Bank of the United States was. They will control Congress, the adininistration and all the material interests of the country, and, of course, for their own benefit. If it should not be to their interest to come to specie pay- ments or to remain on a specie basis the people will be compelled to submit to a paper currency. And why should they desire a specie basis when they derive enormous pro- fits on a purely paper, circulation? Why should they want coin, which would yield them no profit, and which bears no interest when held in their coffers ? It seems to us that this Funding bill, in getting rid of the legal tender notes and in giving the national banks the whole circulation of the country, will prevent a permanent return to specie payments and will perpetuate a very dangerous monopoly. A great deal has been said by Mr. Sherman and those who favored his bill about the say- ing that would be made, Let us see how the bill will operate in this respect. Suppose the three classes of new bonds, bearing a lower rate of interest, can be negotiated at par with our outstanding six per cent securi- ties, how much will be saved? On the first class of four hundred millions, bearing five per cent interest, four millions a year would be saved; on the second class of four and a half per cents, six millions a year would be saved; and on the third class of four per cents, eight millions a year would be saved. Upon the twelve hundred millions the aggre- gate saving would be eighteen millions a year. It is doubtful if these bonds can be nego- tiated at par for six per cents, which have now risen to euch a high value in the market. But, for the sake of argument, admit they can, there is something to be placed as a balance against the eighteen miilions saved. First, these bouds and the annual income from them are to be exempt from all taxation by national, State, municipal, or local authority, This exemp- tion alone takes away a large portion of the eighteen millions proposed to be saved. Then one-half of one per cent is to be given for ne- gotiating the new bonds—that is, the cost will be six millions, independent of the large expenses of ihe Treasury Department in trans- ferring the debt. But, to proceed with this analysis of pretended economy or saving, let us look at what the country will lose by chang- ing the greenback currency into bonds. Four hundred millions of legal tenders turned into five per cents would increase the annual bur- den of the people twenty millions. But, take the four and half per cents, as the medium class, and the yearly burden would be ia- creased eighteen millions, the full amount pro- posed to be saved by the bill in annual interest. So that there will be a positive loss to the country of the yearly exempted taxation on the bonds, besides the six millions job to for- eign and home capitalists for negotiating them, and the other expenses of the Treasury. With even the reduced interest—and it is doubtful ifthe interest can be redaced through nego- tiating the new bonds for our present six per cents at par—the burden of the people would be increased some millions a year. Such is the financial legislation of our stupid repre- sentatives in Congress. ‘The national banks derive a profit on their circulation now of nearly twenty mil- liohs o year in gold. The Funding bill will increase that to thirty-two millions. Should gold go up by any cause again and specie payments be deferred, these banks would have a yearly profit in currency on their cireu- lation probably of fifty millions or more, And why this enormous gratuity to private corpora- tions? They render no service in return. It is taking the money from the people and giving itto the‘tich without the least consideration. In fact, it is strengthening and perpetuating a gigantic and dangerous monopoly that will control all the material interests of the coun- try and absorb the profits and that in the end will be master of the government. If the six to seven hundred millions of circulation which the national banks will have were in legal tenders, which would cancel that amount of interost- bearing bonda, tho saving would be now forty SHEET. millions in gold a year, and even ander the proposed reduction of interest would be some thirty-two millions. And is not the legal tender currency ad good as or better than national bank notes? We believe we should reach specie payments under the former sooner than under the latter, Indeed, it is doubtful if the banks would ever desire specie payments, for they will derive the greatest profit froma paper girculation alone of thelr own uotes, The Funding bill is wrongly named. [¢ should be called a bill “for the benetit of national tank associations.” Propoved Now Election Law. Mr, Genet has presented to the Legislatura & proposition for the amendment of the elec- tion laws that has the ambitious proportions of s code, We find in the law proposed this one great, advantage—it recognizes at once which is the worst villany of our present sys- tem, and gives especial prominence to mea- sures intended to guard against it. This worst villany is tho false counting, [tis evident that repeating—the foisting in here aud there of a dozen or even a hundred illegal votes—is a small and shabby evil by comparison with the grand tactics by which our inspectors and canvaasers boldly count men in and out of office, without any regard to the number of voles cast, and then snup their fingers at jus- tice, with the kindly assisiance of their confederates in the courts, This is what must be prevented if the formula of election here is not to be given up altogether as a ridiculous waste of time. Some excellent provisions to secure an honest count are pro- posed, The best is that the public / is legally made «a pariy to the first count on the night of the election, and the in- spectors are compelled to count the entire vole then, without adjournment, and to announce the result aloud in the presence of the representative of every candidate who may*send one; andif the subsequent report to the County Canvassers, is different from the result so announced the person bene- fied by the difference must show that it is an honest one. This favors the first count, which is proper. The frauds are always the result of afler-thought, end for a simple reason, ‘The change in favor of Mr. McGilligan is only made when it is dis: covered how many votes Mr. McGilligan lacks to make him come out ahead. On the night of the election, when at the same hour the vote is heing counted at different points, there can be no comparison, and Mr. MeGilligan’s friends will not risk vitiating the election by cheating when the victory may honestly be his, The great source of frandulent countisg is in the right of the County Canvassers to send back the votes for correction. They count the votes, discover that Mr. McGilligan is twelve hundred short, and send back three districts to correct four hundred each, This right of the County Canvassers to send back the returns is not done away with, but its possible abuse is limited by the provisions that enable the people to have an open investigation before them in such cases. The provisions intended to secure honest inspectors by making these officers elective are loose. In case of vacancies the Common Council appoints, All that is neces- sary to make a place vacant is that the man elected should fuil to execute a bond. Tn any year when it is important to have these places filled by the Common Council there will be a great many men of straw elected to inspector= ships. But small provision is made against repeating, though it is notoriously an evil. It is a commentary on the state of our elections that there is another evil so mach worse that the law looks upon repeating as by comparison a harmless pastime, Tor Rovar Dre. IN Maprip.—A special Heracn telegram from Madrid, forwarded through the Atlantic cable, and published in our columns to-day, enables us to detail all the circumstances attending the fatal duel between the Duke de Montpensier and Prince Henri de Bourbon in that city. It will be seen that the insult given by the Prince to the Dnke was distinct and particularly offensive in its language. A. meeting was unavoidable under the cir- cumstances. The combat was fought in a cool, determined manner, and with the most deadly intent. Both were wounded at .the outset, Tho Prince was efverwards shot in the forehead, and died instantly. The Duke de Montpensior remained at large in Madrid. As wasvanticipated in our editorial columns yesterday, it is charged that French intrigue worked on both the combatants pr viously, and really precipitated the collision between them, Asad system, a bad agency and @ melancholy issue, but one which may have still more serious conseruences. Tite EMIGRATION FROM Evrors—Isvv STRIAL Sratisrigs.—A special Hxravv writer in Rurope, dating st Liverpool on the 24th and 25th of February, supplies the two important letters, which appear elsewhere in our columns, on the vitally important subject of European emigration to the United States, its mainspring sources, its current and volume, its aggregation by home nationalities and trans- atlantic distribution after reception and ab- sorption, In an industro-politico and economic point of view the communications are of the utmost value. The returns cover a period of fifty years, and are most complete as to the canses and consequences and solid wealth products of the exodus movement among the Old World peoples. It is consequently unnecessary to attempt a condensed analysis of the statistics on this page of our paper, as the exhibit will command the attention both of the executive, the municipalities and the peo- ple at large in its.entirety and completeness. Urrows Traver.—On Thursday evening thirty cars, starting from neac the Heratp office, were inspected by @ reporter and the number of passengers counted. The proper complement would have beeu twenty-two per- sons for each car, making @ total of six hun- dred and sixty passengers for tho thirty cars. Instead of that, however, the thirty cars car- ried a total of seventeen hundred and twelve passengers-—an average of considerably more than double its proper burden to every vebi- cle, Here isa fact for the contemplation of those interested in discussing the ways of car companies, One single car actually con- tained eighty-four passengers. Sardines in their box have elbow room comparat to the pasdengers in such a car. ee I COT eT Martial Law tm the Southern Staton General Butlor, in a conversation concern~ ing the proposed reconstruction of Tennessee, states that Goveruor Senter has no militia, and it is the duty of the President t@ call on the militia of adjoining States to aid in pre- serving ordor there, but that he cannot use the regular forces for that purpose, And, ad the adjoining States need all their militia at home, he thinks Congress may come in and secure 2 republican form of government tor Tennessee, or one wherein the laws are muintaived, by enactment. While General Builer is making this etatemene a delegation is present in Washington with « petition from Governor Holden, of North Carolina, asking that Waited States troops bo sent there to help maintain the peace and quell insurrection in six or seven counties of the State, over which the Governor has declared martial law. If General Butler ia correct, the President cannot send troops to North Carolina for the purpose required any more than be can to Tennessee, and if he does not find the militia of the adjoining States— South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia—available, which, obviously, they ere not, then # Congressional enactment is necessary to secure a republican form of government for North Carolina, As North Carolina is strongly radical aud Tennessee is strongly democratic Mr, Butler's proposition cuts both ways. Troops have already been ordered to two garrisons in Tennessee, for what purpose is not stated, but certainly if they ara needed to preserve the peace they can serve in that capacity without any neces- sity for upsetting the State government, We have no doubt Mr. Butler will think so in the ease of North Carolina. Minister Burlingame’s Lluess, Death and Lust Words. By special correspoudence from St. Petera- burg, published in the Herarp this morning, were enabled to report the circumstances which attended the death of the lato Anson Burlingame, in the Russian capital; the incep tion of his illness; the progress and medical treatment of the disease, and its fatal terming- tion, It is a melancholy yet soothing record. A. useful public officer and gallant citizeo was taken of; a Christian gentleman and fond husband and father went calmly to the great final account, Mr. Burlingame died in the arms of his wife after having bid “goodby” to his secretary. He merely ceased to breatho, and appeared #4 if he had just fallen asleep, before ‘‘decay's effucing finger” commenced its work. Tho honors paid to Mr, Burlingame’s memory aad to the presence of Mra, Burlingame in St. Petersburg, both by the imperial family and the Russian people, will go far to, strengthen the frieadly seutiment which has ever existed between the great empire and the United States, Ferry Games. {t is astmishing how poorly it pays to run ferries between this city and different points acroms the rivers. The facts presented by the men who manage our ferries are such aa to excite the liveliest sympathies of the benevo~ lent, and one who reads the story of 9 ferry president cannot but wish that all sucly fune~ tionaries might be retired to the ease and com- parative comfort of a county poor house. The company that runs the Weehawken ferry is under aa expense’ of forty-four thousand dol- +} lars a year, and has not made a cent in the last year, thus actually starving itself for the benefit of the Weehawken people. Are the people grateful? It will be remembered that the Union Ferry Company between this city and Brooklyn recently made w financial exhibit of the sume nature, It did not run the ferry to make money—only to double the stock.
