Human nature now Is much as it was of old,
In spite of the uianli of mind, the spirit of
ihe age, and other formulas by which we of
ie nineteenth century sometimes try to per
suade ourselves that we' are much ahead of
our ancestors. Captain Lemnel pulliver, that
tnJy authentio traveller, told his four-footed
master in the land of the Iloughnhms, more
than a century ago, that one of the justifiable
rauses of war between two Princes Is "to
decide which of them shall dispossess a third
of his dominions, where neither of them pre
tend any right." This is precisely the case at
present between France and Prussia. Lux
embourg, about which they seemed like to go
to loggerheads the other day, belongs to
neither of them. If it do not belong to the
inhabitants a theory which would be scouted
ly politicians of every stripe it belongs to
the King of Holland. But the King of Hol
land would be but a mouthful to either of his
JJrobdignagian neighbors; and therefore his
rights are nothing to the purpose. For here
comes in another maxim of the sage Gulliver,
that a war may be entered upon because our
neighbor has the thing we want, and because
he is too weak to help himself. And again, it
is justifiable to enter into war against our
nearest ally, when one of his towns lies con-
-venient to us, or a territory of land that would
Tender our dominions sound and complete.

Vhich is the very case in nana.
Bonaparte, having seated himself upon the
throne of France by perjury and treason, and
liaving lost much of the Napoleonio prestige
which was the only divinity that hedged his
title, he must do something to regain it. The
jving of Prussia, having just absorbed the
liggest part of Germany, and claiming to
Ie the chief power in Europe, must
maintain the hegemony of the conti
nent as against France, who is sorely disin
rlined to yield that preeminence. So they
were going to war to get possession of a terri
tory which confessedly' belongs to neither of
them, to decide vruich. of theiu should have the
privilege of intermeddling with the affairs of
sjther kingdoms, with which, also, they have
no business whatever. Thus they are like to
illustrate another of the sagacious proposi
tions of the great voyager "Sometimes one
yrince quarrelleth with another for fear the
other should quarrel with him." The King of
3'russia, knowing that Bonaparte must quarrel
with him as soon as he is ready, is making
haste to begin before he is so. And so
the festival of peace which has just been in
augurated in Paris is likely to be inter
jupted by the clash of arms and the roar of
artillery. Thousands of brave men will bite
the dust, the world will be filled with widows
And with orphans, and the fairest portions of
Europe will be laid waste, to settle the.question
which of two men shall help himself to what
"belongs to neither of them, and shall enjoy
the prerogative of putting a potential finger iu
othes people's pies.
It would be well if these two monarchs
would listen to the words which the youth
of France are addressing to the youth of
Germany. The students of Paris are signing
an address to the German students, which
shows that youth is sometimes wiser, than
age. They say to them: "Is not the time of
aiational hatreds past 1 Far be from us the
5deas of another age ! Peoples are great not
by their territories, but by their institutions.
It is not the extension of their frontiers, but
cf their liberties, whioh both Franoe and Ger
many should desire." Brave and noble
words, and as wise withal I But who will
listen to the voice of Wisdom crying aloud in
the streets of Paris or of Berlin ? She will
ie, much more likely, gagged and locked up
in the conciergerie. We expect to hear that
this address has been suppressed, and its
promoters punished. But the fact is signifi
cant. It shows the direction of the under
current of French thought, and is prophetio
of the force it may yet gather as it runs; for
Jt is of the leaven which will work its way
f;radually through the lump until it is all
eavened. But it will take a long time to work
lis wnoiesome iermentation
We do not believe tkat the London Confe
rence will do more than delay the breaking
out of the war. Neither party could well
refuse, when so entreated, to assume a pacific
disposition, whether felt or not. The occasion
of the war which is to come lies deeper than
dynastio or territorial interests. It will pro
ceed from out of the hearts of men, whence
come all wars and fightings. Passion, and
;iot calculation, will be the inspiring principle
of the oontlict. Prussia has never forgotten
the humiliation of Jena, nor France that of
Waterloo. The desire on the part of each of
the two peoples to give the other a satisfactory
thrashing, will be the secret spring of the strife
that is to decide which shall be the great Con
tinental power. The manifest destiny urges
3'russia forward, and the instinct of Belf-pre'
nervation . must keep Bonaparte from holding
lack. A successful war with Prussia would

JCncroachmeuta of Military Power la the
DOUID,
'Front the Times.
The authority of Brigadier-Generals is fast
jnakihg itself a reality at the South. The
Seasonable interpretation of the intent of the
Jlecon8truction act is, that military power
fsL.aU be absolute in all that pertains to the
purposes comprehended within the law, but
jio further. It is, in fact, merely the agency
created for working the machinery of the law,
Vith a view to the reorganization of civil au
thority, and for meeting possible emergencies
arising out of the present provisional arrange
ments. The duty of the military commander,
as we understand it, is to rectify wrongs and
srrorp of omission or commission perpetrated
Jjy existing local authority. Apart from these
contingencies, his functions would seem to be
jestrictea to whatever may be necessary to
the execution of the plan of Congress as em
bodied in the law.
Under a rigid adherence to this construction
f military duty, perhaps General Sheridan's
jemoval of Mayor Monroe and other obnoxious
officials might not have admitted of Justifica
tion. It was an exercise of power which comes
. properly into play only when provisional func
tionaries seek to annul or circumvent the law.
in this particular case, however, the proceeding
(elicited little criticism, because of the notori
pusly bad record of the ofiloiuLj removed.
on the
tionably be used adversely to the law
uwiues-
I he orders of Gen. Sickles, altering the civil
and criminal codes of North and South Caro
lina, were of a more doubtful ' character. To
the extent that local statutes conflicted with
the provisions of the Civil Rights act, the
General's interference may have been neces
sary. But there is nothing that we know of
in that act, or in the Reconstruction act,
which, in letter or spirit, warrants a com
manding officer to say what offenses shall be
felonies, or how ollbnses shall be punished; or
which, by any process of reasoning, can be
made to justify interference witli the claims
of creditors, or the disposition to be made of
property subject to liens. And yet the orders,
although extraordinary and on their face
unlawful, called forth no protest from the
communities concerned, and only exceptional
condemnation from the press of the country,
In the'Carolinas and throughout the Southern
States there has been an evident desire to
judge the orders charitably to attribute their
promulgation to peculiar local circumstances
best understood by the commanders of the
districts, and in some degree also to a humane
desire to mitigate the penalties of poverty, so
far as these may be affected by the operation
of law.
In Virginia, military authority lias mani
fested itself in forms that are wholly inex
cusable. The order of General Wilcox for
bidding a fellow who has neither charaoter
nor talent to deliver a lecture on "Southern
Chivalry," was the result of consummate
official folly. General Sehofleli's "warning"
to the Richmond Times was equally arbitrary
and unwise. Neither is susceptible of pallia
tiou nor defense. It would be as sairacious to

ai Dticcb wiucii ui iu nuy iifuui mat lie may
hire for the occasion. What Pollard micht
say could harm nobody; when he does any
thing contrary to law, the law will be quite
sufficient for its own vindication. Until the
civil law fails, General Wilcox has no right to
meddle. So again with regard to General
Schofield and the Richmond newspaper. The
establishment of a censorship is simply usur
pation, and a usurpation which challenges the
judgment of every man who values freedom
of speech and the press. For our Richmond
namesake, though hostile to the Reconstruc
tion law, has not transcended its right, and
the right of every man, to comment upon
both the law and its administration.
The Southern press, indeed, is entitled to a
great deal of credit for the moderation of its
tone, and for its prevailing inclination to deal
fairly with the momentous problem which is
now undergoing solution. Here and there a
rabid Rebel sheet may be found, but the
minilier throughout the South is so small as to
be unworthy of notice. The greater number
of journals published in that section are pur
suing a course which cannot be too highly
praised. They may not applaud the law on
its merits, but they couusel compliance with
its requirements, and are earnest in their de
sire to get back to the full fellowship of the
Union. Of few can this be said more justly
than of the Times and Picayune, of New Or
leans, which, according to a statement in
circulation, have been "unofiicially warned"
touching their articles on the Reconstruction
act. The statement is scarcely credible, so
temperate, and withal so sensible, have been
the observations and recommendations of both
the journals . named since the passage of the
law. The proceeding ot uenerai acnoneia at
Richmond, however, renders possible the ex
ercise of the censor'B authority at New Or
leans, though from this wrong we trust
General Sheridan's good sense will pre
serve him.
Still another encroachment is reported from
Texas. An order issued by General Griffin
excludes from the iuries of the State all citi
zens who may have direotly or indirectly aided
the Rebellion. Henceforward, General Griffin
decrees, the test oath shall be applied to
jurors, and only they who can take it shall be
permitted to serve, rne legai auiuorny ior
this order has not been cited, and none can be
found. The Reconstruction act contains no
provision upon the subject. It declares who
shall be disirancnisea ana wuo tsuau u ex
cluded from office, but in respect of jurors it

is silent, lienerai urnun a oruer, tueu, ia
arbitrary and unjustifiable. It is anomalous,
moreover, since, while ex-Rebels or their
sympathizers may not act as lurors, ex-ueoei
Judges are permitted "provisionally" to
continue their Junctions as aammisirators oi
the law.
These incidents demonstrate the tendency
of military power to trespass beyond the
boundaries of reconstruction at the cost of the
liberty of the citizen. It is to be hoped that
the forthcoming opinion of the Attorney
General will define the powers and duties of
the commanding Generals with a fullness and
precision that will obviate difficulty, and pre
vent needless interlerence with the law, the
press, or the people of the bourn.
The Reasons for Protection.
From the Tribune.
There was a preliminary gathering yester
day at the Astor House of some two hundred
citizens, interested in or otherwise favorable
to protection to home industry. Mr. Peter
Cooper presided, and ten or twelve States were
represented. Governor Pierpont, of Virginia,
was present, and in full sympathy with the
meeting and its object. A committee of or
ganization was appointed, and, after much
animated discussion, an adjournment wa3 had
to the 22d inst., when it is intended to
organize for a vigorous, determined canvass of
the whole country by means of meetings,
speakers and documents.
It was high time. The importers have sub
stantial control of the newspaper press of this
city, the Tribune and one or two other journals
excepted. We do not, in saying this, charge
any party with corruption. It happens that
the importers are free traders, and that they,
with the jobbers of their goods, are very large
and constant advertisers, as most American
producers of metals, wares, and fabrios are
not. The importers advertise mainly in jour
nals which talk as those importers would have
them on the tariff question; and the great
majority of our journals talk so as to please
their most liberal advertisers. All this is
rather natural than otherwise, and we are not
blaming either party. We state facts which
explain other facts, and demand publio atten
tion. That miners and manufacturers who seek
protection are monopolists, extortioners, rob
bers, is the general drift of our city contem
poraries' political economy. That the essayists
who condemn protection aie unquestionably
right, while those who uphold it are knaves
or fools, is a style of argument which our
neighboring journals find at once easy and
profitable. That a Pennsylvania ironmaster
who has to pay twice to thrice as much for
labor, etc, as his British rival, who can ex
port his product to this market (as ballast for
dry goods), at a, lower freight than the Penn
sylvanian must pay, evinoea exoeeding rapaqity
aud "cheek," la asking for a protective duty
General Bheridan is held justified
ground that their positions would
on imported iron, is quite currently believed
here. New York is more largely inhabited by
Europeans than by Americans, and very many
of our merchants are more intent on "taking
home" a large pile within a few years, than on
building up the country wherein their fortunes
are made.
That American manufactures are exception
ally, enormously profitable, is constantly as
serted by our free trade neighbors; and every
scrap of news that favors that assumption is
conspicuously paraded, while the scores of
facts that prove the contrary are quietly sup
pressed. It is in vain that we say to the free
traders: "Von have among you adequate
capacity, energy, and capital, and you are not
averse to making good profits. Now, if it be
true, as you constantly assert, that manufac
tures are generally sold too high here, an i
that large profits are realized by those who
nroduce them, why no not mom embark in
their fabrication ? Here are water-power, fuel,
ores.
and all manner 01 raw material in aoun-
dance; why will you persist in some pursuit
which pays you meagrely, when you might
(if you state the truth) make 20 to 50 per
cent, by smelting iron or weaving fabrics ?
What can induce you to act so insanely ?"
They do not answer: how could they, with
out confessing that they have been per
sisting in untruth, to the injury of their
neighbors ?
"But why not buy where we can buy
cheapest?" ask the free traders. - "Why
deny or fitter a man's natural right to Mo as
he likes with his own?' "
We answer:
To buy our iron, wares, fabrics, precisely
where We can buy them cheapest, and because
we can there buy them cheapest, is our plan.
We uphold" the Protective system, because we
are sure that thereby can our people's wants
bo supplied more cheaply (for them) than in
any other way. We hold, and have often
demonstrated, that the ton of iron which costs
$100 if made here, and $75 if imported, actually
costs our consumers considerably less (not in
dollars, but in days' works) if made here. In
other words the cost of the American ton is
made up of ore, coal, wood, charcoal, feed,
taxes, schooling, etc., which would not have
brought $75, nor even $G5, had our iron been
made in Europe. We of the Tribune, for
example, are this year paying at least $40,000
for presses, etc., mainly made'of iron; and we
can better afford to pay $40,000 if our supply
of iron were wholly made and fashioned in
this country than $30,000 with our furnaces,
foundries, and workshops in Europe. We can
make this truth plain to any one who is not
steeled against conviction.
"But what do you say as to the right of
every one to sell his own labor or its product
as he sees fit ?"
Just this, sir ; that, as you interpret that
right, it leads directly to anarchy. Govern
ments subsist on taxes; and, if it be conceded
absolutely that a man may do as he likes with
his own, then collecting taxes must be stopped,
and treasuries filled by voluntary gift or not
at all. If the sweeping free trade assumption
on this point be sound, then the construction
of the Erie Canal was a gigantic crime; for that
was done by means ( f taxing away the money
and pledging the credit of tens of thousands
who sternly opposed the whole project, and
protested that they ought not to be taxed for
its realization.
We talk of losses and calamities by flood,
fire, drouth, or pestilence; we consider, and
with reason, our taxes very heavy; but all
other taxes combined do not bear so heavily
upon us as that imposed by involuntary idle
ness. Not less than one million people in this
country are to-day out of employment, there
fore useless and miserable. Not one dime less
than $300,000,1X10, and we think $500,000,000,
are annually lost to the country on this ac
count. Now we do not insist that unequivo
cal protection would seoure every one constant
work; but we do hold that more have work,
and all work more efficiently, where employ
ments are multiplied and diversified by pro
tection than elsewhere. A purely agricultural
community, still more a lumbering one, has
many more idlers or drones, and produces far
less wealth per hand, than Lancashire or
Massachusetts. Diversity of pursuit i3 one
main element of efficiency in production; and
such diversity is promoted by protection.
But we did not mean to say half so much
at present. We intended only to express our
joy that the friends of protection have met,
resolved to organize, and to canvass the whole
country. Slavery which so long excluded us
from most of the South is at last dead, and
labor votes there henceforth instead of being
chattelized and sold on the auction block. We
protectionists never yet were beaten by the
votes of those who can read, and their number
is rapidly increasing. We have but to work to
triumph.
The Struggle
From the Herald.
for Territory
America.
In South
For more than two years the war for terri
torial aggrandizement on the La Plata river
has been waging, and as yet all parties
appear to be further removed from the objects
for which they entered the contest than they
were at the beginning. On the part of Brazil
the war is but the result of a long announced
and steadily pursued policy of the imperial
family. The Parana and Paraguay rivers
must be the boundary of the empire. At
first glance the map would appear to show
that Brazil should be contented with her terri
torial area; but when it is considered that the
valley of the Amazon is naught but a vast
jungle; that of the 3,340,000 square miles
(Humboldt's measurement), there is scarcely
one-fifth available for settlement by men;
that the only really valuable part lies south of
the fifteenth degree of south latitude; and
that Brazil has never ceased her efforts to
extend her territory to the south and west, we
shall see that this grasping for a more remote
boundary line is natural. So steadily has this
policy been carried out in Uruguay, that to
day the port of Montevideo may be considered
a Brazilian city. Even befo.-e the date of
Spanish American independence, this effort to
overrun Uruguay, Paraguay, and the strip of
Argentine territory lying between them
called Missiones, was the cause of long and
bloody warfare. From the founding of Monte
video, in 1726, the Portuguese commenced
their struggle for the extension of Brazil.
Uruguay has always been the prinoipal battle
ground; for whoever holds the northern bank
of the La Plata dominates the whole of its
immense and magnificent valley, even to the
heart of Bolivia,
The lodgment which the Fortuguese effected
on the La Plata early in the eighteenth century
have rise in 177(3 to the most formidable mili
tary expedition which up to that time Spain
had fitted out to the New World. The Portu
guese settlement was laid in ruins, and the
attempt of the Portuguese to hold a point on
the great river was signally defeated. Brazil
has, however, staked her future on this desired
boundary; and as she has already waged
nearly a century of war to accomplish herporT
, pose, it is not to be supposed that she will now
desist. When the present war opened he little
dictatorship of Paraguay, with seventy thou-
sand square miles and five hundred thousand
inhabitants, was scarcely less ainliilioiiri than
its more colossal neighbors. The country
having been at peace for more than half a
century, and during that time rapidly de
veloping its wonderful natural resources,
began to feel the wants that every nation
feels as it unrolls its resources a commercial
outlet on the ocean and territorial extension.
Both could be obtained in one direction, aud
Paraguay looked southward to the richest and
most beautiful of the Argentine States, Cor
lientes and Entre Rios the latter with a fine
contact with the great estuary of the La
Plata, and both provinces bounded by rivers
navigable for a large class of sea-going vessels.
Already powerful in an impregnable position,
banging like a shadow over the great Brazilian
province of Matto Groso, preventing the set
tlement of southeastern Bolivia, aud the Gran
( baco, she threatened to shove, wedge-like,
between the two great adversaries, Brazil and
the Argentine republic, and control 'the whole
vast interior of a valley which, for natural
productions, fertility of soil, aud wealth, both
mineral and vegetable, has no equal in con
nected area on the surface of the globe.
But the objects of the Argentine republic
in this strange territorial contest were not dis
similar from its neighbors. Under the Vice
roys Paraguay was a dependency of Buenos
A jres: but in 111, when the Viceroyalty was
overthrown and a Provisional Government
established, Paraguay refused to recognize what
it called a central usurped authority, and im
mediately declared its independence of Spain.
1 he effort of the Buenos Ay reans to restore her
to the Viceroyalty was unsuccessful; but the
Argentine republic has always clung to the
hope that her old province would some time
return to her either peaceably or by force of
arms; and this notwithstanding the recognition
of Paraguayan independence in the treaty
made between the two countries in 1852.
The great prize, it will thus be seen, for
which the combatants are striving, is the con
trol of the La Plata Valley. The prize is mag
nificent; but the allies, in an alliance unnatu
ral and equally unfortunate, are paying very
lieavily lor the attempt to remove one of the
three contending parties and narrow the con
test down to two. Paraguay was the first to
invade one of the provinces which she coveted.
but, attacked by her powerful opponents, she
has, like an armadillo, rolled herself in her
shell and laughed at all their attempts to
penetrate even her outworks. It is probable
that the close of the war will find Paraguay
relatively stronger than she was at the begin
ning; while the allies, exhausted of men and
money, will require a long time to recuperate
and reopen the great contest.
