The Paraguayan War.
Tns news from the Beat of war on the Parana
Is, as neual, contradictory, bnt that received
from both Paraguayan and Brazilian eonroes
appears to agr e on one point the evacuation
of the fortress of Uamaita by the troop3 of
Lopez, and its occupation by the Allied forces.
The advices from Rio state that the fortress
was finally reduced by the starvation prooesa
which has been so long under way; that two
hundred and fifty cannon, and a large quantity
of ammunition and small arms, fell into the
hands of the Allies; that four thousand of the
retreating Paraguayans had been out off from
the main body and surrounded in Gran Chaoo;
that three of the Brazilian iron clads had suc
ceeded in passing the obstructions on the
Parana, and had joined the fleet in the bom
baidment of Lopez's position at the mouth of
he Tebicuari; in short, that all the indica
tions pointed to an early termination of the
conflict in lavor of the Allies. From Para
guayan sources, it is acknowledged that Ua
maita has been evacuated; but it is claimed
that all the large guns were spiked and the
small stores removed, and that the stronghold
was abandoned without the knowledge of the
enemy, simply because Lopez had completed
his new defensive lines on the Tebicuari. The
Paraguayans are represented as being still
hopeful that the Allies will not attempt to
enter the interior; and that, through their
lassitude, the war will soon be terminated
in favor of the former.
From the beginniog, the coDflict has been
one of the most unequal of modern times.
The following figures show the resources of
the respective combatants, with the number
of men furnished by each up to the lit of last
April:

By reason of this great inequality in extent
of population and resources, the sympathies
f the civilized world have generally been
thrown in favor of Paraguay, which has been
regarded as a champion of true democracy,
oppressed by the ambitious monarchy of Bra
zil. The history of Paraguay effectively dis
proves this theory. Dr. Franoia, the fouuder
of the Paraguayan nationality, was a modei
despot, who had no sympathy whatever with
republican institutions. Under his sway
Paraguay became one vast plantation with a
population of slaves who were held in com
plete subjection to the Dictator or Supremo.
lie controlled the entire industry and com
merce of the country, and governed it solely
in his own individual interests. At his death,
in 1840, after having wielded the Dictatorship
for twenty-five years, he was succeeded by a
Creole named Lopez, who, although he had
been obliged to remain hidden away for years,
to escape murder at the hands of Fr&noia,
adopted in all its details the oppressive policy
f his predecessor. Lopez remained in power
until 1862, when he was succeeded by the
present Dictator of the same name.
To arrive at the origin of the present con
flict we must go back several years. Rosas,
Governor of Buenos Ayres, having usurped
the supreme power of the entire Argentine
Confederation, contended that Paraguay also
owed him allegiance, and to enforce it blocked
up the La Plata, thus materially interrupting
the commercial enterprises of the elder Lopez.
A coalition between Lopez, Brazil, and Uru
guay resulted, and after protracted fighting,
RosaB was overthrown in 1852, and free com
munication established with the ocean. Tbe
Paraguay river, like the Parana one of the
principal streams which empty into the La
Plata, had been previously closed to Brazil by
both Lopez and Francia; but the former, in
return for the material assistance received at the
hands of Brazil, guaranteed henceforth to that
power the free navigation of all the stream
flowing through his dominions. Advantage
was at onoe taken of this concession by the
leading commercial powers of the world. But
Lopez soon showed his defiance of all treaty
stipulations; the Water witch, an Amerioan
man-of-war, engaged on a peaceful mission, was
Wantonly fired upon and several of her crew
killed; Brazilian vessels were refused passage
Up the streams, and the Brazilian Minister
ordered out of the country; and suoh high
handed operations were carried on by the
Dictator until a new, but only nominal settle
ment of the difficulties was arrived at about
the year 1858.
As Boon as the present Dictator came into
power, he commenced to strengthen his posi
tion, with a view to renewing the pretensions
of his predecessors. Engineers and war ma
terVal were freely imported from Europe, and
In 18C4 he struck the first blow by seizing a
Brazilian taa.il steamer, and imprisoning at
his capital a bomber of Brazilian oflioers,
civil, military and naval, none of whom, it ia
eaid, have as yet been released. Vessels of
war were Bent up the river ana several Brazi
lian towns seized upon, without any formal
declaration of war; and then the P a.ra?uavan
despot fell upon the Argentine Confederation,
simply beoause it refused to join him iuMs
crusade against Brazil. The pretext presented
was the alleged interference of ll.azil in the
internal affairs of Uruguay, with the view of
annexing that diminutive republic, In order
to obtain complete oontrol of the mouth of tht
La Plata. General Flores, one of the aspirants
to the Presidency of Uruguay, was installed
in power by the aid of Brazil; the triple al
liance between Brazil, Uruguay, and the Ar
pontine Confederation was formed; and in June
18G5 the unequal warfare was commenced io
sober earnestness. One artiole of the tripar
tite treaty stipulated that the Allies should
"not lay down their arms unless by oommoo
consent, nor until they have overthrown the
actual government of Paraguay;" and in an
other artiole it was stipulated that the ultimate
intention of the Brazilian Government "shall
remain a secret until the principal object of
the alliance be obtained." This ambiguous
sentence is the only justification for sympathy
with Paraguay; but even if it be tbe intention
of Brazil to annex or divide Paraguay among
the allies, the advocates of justice and true
liberty cannot, in view of the oppressive and
exclusive despotism of the Paraguayan Dicta
tors, raise any reasonable objections.
Our readers are already familiar with the
progress of the conflict on the banks of the
Parana. Paraguay has striven manfully to
hold her own, and the heroio devotion of he,
soldiers has justly exoited the admiration of
he world. But everything has been in their
avor. Nearly all of the inhabitants are native
Guarani Indians, who are under complete
subjection, and when thus restrained they
make excellent soldiers. After making two or
three unsuccessful attempts at carrying the
war into Brazilian and Argentine territory,
Lopez retired, as early as September, 1865,
behind his elaborate entrenchments on the
banks of the Parana, where he has been en
abled to hold out for nearly three years, by
reason of the marshy nature of the situation
and by an occasional bold sally. The Al
lies, on the contrary, have had almost
insurmountable obstructions to overcome,
chief among which has been the fact
that they have been obliged to transport
nearly all of their supplies and reoruits from
Rio de Janeiro by water, a distance of two
thousand miles 1 By reason of the slow pro
greEB made, dissatisfaction has been ri:e of
late, both in Brazil and the Argentine Con
federation, and a strong peace party has arisen
in each country. But, it the news from
Brazilian sources should prove to be true, this
''fire in the rear" will be effectually sup.
pressed, and the war will be brought to a
speedy termination in the best interests 0
humanity and republicanism.
Not to be Poisoned.
Tub following handbill was recently postsd on
the walls of Helena (Ark.), where it will be
remembered that the Freedmen have been
especially well organized and prosperous:

Helena, Angst 10, 1SG3.
How are the mighty fallen I We used to
hear from the border ruffians that the negroes
were not human, and tLat the white man who
asserted that they were so only held his due
station when ridden on a rail in a panoply of
tar and feathers. But now the negro has a
vote, and his devoted Democratic brethren
urgently invite him to a feast, and beg him to
accept either a choice of tables, or, better still,
to permit his white brother to sit side by side
with him. There would be fun in this if we
were at liberty to look merely at the ludiorous
position of the repentant ruffians; but there ia
a deeper meaning in it; a fact lingers beneath
that is a condensation of all the sins and suf
fering of the past. The negroes have heard
that the meat is to be poisoned and they
believe it t
The black is the natural friend of his former
master; he finds in him a defender against his
Northern deceiver; he is ready to rush into
his arms: so we hear on every balmy breeze
wafted from the homes oi the unreconstructed
but it really looks as if it was the master tha't
was desirous of rushing into the embrace o
the enfranchised slave.
Democracy must be having a hard time of it
among the freedmen of Helena, and the lead
ers have suddenly put their minds and heads
into the work of proving the sincerity of their
new professions. The instincts of the negro
teach him with unerring certainty that their
meat will be poisoned by their old pro-slavery
enemies, and the suspicion, in a politioal
sense, does credit to their sagaoity, for figura
tively, if not literally, it is undoubtedly well
founded. The end and aim of the Seymour
and Blair organization is to give "poisoned
meat" not only to the negroes but to the
representative of every loyal interest.
Judicial Courtesy.
A day or two ago a certain attorney, in argu.
ing a case before Judge Barnard, of New York
city, mildly expressed the hope that they
"might get on as expeditiously as possible;"
whereupon that distinguished j urist exolalmed :
"I get along as expeditiously as I want to. You
take care of your business, and I will of mine."
It is barely possible that the attorney may
have overstepped the limits of forbearanoe in
requesting no unnecessary delay; but it ap
pears to us that no mere petulancy on the part
of counsel should lead a man who occupies a
seat upon the bench so far to forget the dig
nity of his position as to use suoh insulting
language as that which we have quoted. Sub
sequent developments in the course of the
same case show the mental and judicial
calibre of this profound dispenser of justioe.
The same attorney endeavored to avert a
threatened decision of the Court by reading
from one of the Judge's own previous deci
sions; and so astounded was Judge Barnard
at the views which he had formerly held, that
he was constrained to exclaim: "The way
you read that opinion, it tears me all to
pieces. I will have to take time to look it
over." The whole affair is a fitting commen
tary on the eflloiency of an elective judiciary,
and presents a striking argument in favor of
doing away with the system, as we have re
peatedly urged.
Admiral Farraodt's Retort. We Bee that
Admiral Farragut returns to the United States
in October. Ilia trip abroad has been a great
success, and the money expended in it is wel1
invested. It haa given to Europe a correot
idea of the greatness of the naval power of the
United States. The grand old officer is just
the one, with his splendid war record, to re
ceive the honors, and the manner in which he
has been received in every port attests the ap
preciation whioh the Old World haa of hla
services.
We can hardly credit the rumors published
this morning that a rebellion has broken out
in Arkansas, and that arme 1 men have closed
the Courts. Bad as we know the condition of
tbe South to be, it seems incredible that it
should be as bad aa this. If it should prove
to be so, we hope it will be suppressed with
the strong arm of military power, and all who
instigated it be tried, and, if oonvicted, ba
executed. There must be an example made,
and there is no better time than the present.
