Th situation of Lopez, th Paraguayan Dio Utor, at the last Advices wu to desperate that news of the happy termination of the oonfliot on the banks of the Parana may bs ezpeoted every day. Bat one result need be looked for the total discomfiture of the Paraguayan leader And his Army, a result in the best inte rests of civilization, liberty, and humanity. The despatches recently reoeived from Mr. Washburn, onr Minister to Paraguay, are filled with horrible details of the cold-blooded Atrocities of Lopez, a perusal of which, we hope, has cared the New York Herald And gome other American journals of their pro found admiration for the Dictator and sympa thy with his unworthy oauae. The sooner he li pushed to the wall and pinned there, the better for the unfortunate people over whom be has so long wielded despotio sway, and for suoh foreigners as have fallen into his clutches. A republio Paraguay never was, And daring the progress of the present war With Brazil and her Allies it has been the most outrageous ef petty despotisms. Brazllajs a constitutional monarohy, with a man of li ?rai And enlarged views at its head; bat, simply beoause it is a monarchy, certain journals who profess to be enlisted in the cause of liberty And progress have steadfastly defended the course of the Paraguayan Dictator, deprecating the serious blow At republican institutions whloh, as they claim, will result from his over throw, only by ignoring his tyrannical in stincts and shameless cruellies. Although Lopez has enjoyed the apparent sympathy of the leading governments of the world, and the powerful endorsement of influ ential journals in both hemispheres, he is now on his last legs, and mast soon fall. Then will arise a very serious question, About Whloh All mankind will proceed to perplex itself. This question involves the reconstruc tion of Paraguay, which will be left by the fall of Lopez without the semblanoe of a govern jnnt. The apologlzers for Lopez's tyrauny Will of course raise a howl if Brazil breathes the words partition or annexation. To their minds it will be An aot of wholesale bri gandage, equalled only by the partition of Poland. Still, it seems to us that either partition among the allies, or an nexation as A whole to Brazil, will be the best alternatives from whioh the Paraguayans can seleot their destiny. The territory over Which Dr. Franoia erected the most arbitrary of modern despotisms in 1814 embraoes about eighty-four thousand square miles, a little more than the combined extent of the New England States and New Jersey, and had a population before the war of about one million. A large majority of the people are the pure blooded descendants of the Guarani tribe of Indians, the intensely-developed spirit of caste which exists having prevented the general intermixture of the ' Spanish and Aboriginal races which so largely prevails in Other sections of South America. Although the country is one of remarkable fertility, and capable of being rendered ex ceedingly productive, the exclusive system of Dr. Franoia and his successor, Lopsz, has re strained immigration and the Arts of paaoe, thereby keeping the country in a condition but little in advance of that found by Sabas--tlan Cabot, the first European to visit it, wheu be sailed up the Parana in 1526. The long-protraoted war whioh Lopez lias maintained against the combined forcaa of Brazil, Uruguay, and the Argentine Con federation, has exhausted its resources, nearly every man in the country having been Impressed into the army, un i o late many of the most grievous burdens of tho contest, including that of actual servioe in the trendies, having lallen upon the women. In the state of desolation whioh will prevail after the final termination of the war by the over throw of Lopez, with the complete demoraliza tion of the inhabitants, and the utter prostra tion of all their industries, Paraguay will either drag out a dead-alive existenoe for years, or fall A prey to oivil strife and the contentions of ambitious foreigners, unless the allies com plete their work by taking it in hand and thoroughly reconstructing it. What South America needs most is consoli dation of territory and centralization of power. These are the only remedies for the grievous Ills whioh have afflicted the greater portion of the continent since the Spanish yoke was thrown oil piecemeal, and not in A lamp by conoert of Action Among All the colonies. Brazil has a magnificent extent of territory, a large and industrious population, and the only Stable government south of the Isthmus, if we exoept the small colonies of Oreat Britain, Franoe, and Holland, en the ooast of Guiana. Although her government is monarohioal in form, the firm rale of Dom Pedro . II Is worth far more to humanity than the anaroby which reproaches the name of republicanism throughout the rest of the con tlflent. Under Brazilian rule Paraguay can' be mad prosperous, productive, and satisfied. Therefore,4why not let Brazil gobble her up, and put an end to the mAtter At onoe f Or, If the advooates of republican Institutions for all mAnklnd, including the giAnts of Terra del FuegO And the horse-thieves of the Camanohe country, Insist that PAraguay mast not be degraded from A despotism disguised as a re public Into a republio dif guleed as a moaroby, is pre undue is the let the Argentine Confederation, whloh has a territory ol 930,000 sqaare miles and a popu lation of only 1,200,000, absorb the disputed real estate and present to the world a stronger and more respectable front than she now doss. Sarmiento, her late representative in this country, and one of the wisest and most polifched statesmen ever pr educed by South Amtrioa, has just been inaugurated as Presi dent, and doubtless could do a) muoh with aDd for Paraguay as Mr. Seward has done la respect to the loe-bound tracts around the North pole. Moreover, while this proosss of reconstruc tion Is progressing at the other end of the New World, it would be an excellent thing if the petty republio of Uruguay, with a territory of only 70,000 square miles aud but 30,000 in habitants, could be obliterated by either Dom Pedro or President Sarmiento. With Para guay and Uruguay both run out of the sister" hood of nations, a portion of South America wonld be much nearer the political millennium than It now is. The Western Corner" to liaise the Price of It read. The it has never been a time in the history of our coantry when money was so abundant in regard to its amount. We have Inflated aud inflated and inflated until it would reallv seem that every citizen must beoome rioh; aud if everything else was not inflated along with the currency, this Arcadian result would have been reached. If a dollar to-day could go as far as a dollar in 1858, then every man would be comparatively a Croesus But with the inorease in the amount of carrenoy has come a rise in the price of everything needed, and the result is that we question whether the bulk of the people are not poorer than they were ten years ago. Bat we quote this self-evident truth only to oall attention to an error whioh valent, of supposing that the expansion of our circulation cause of the rise in certain necessary articles, and more especially of suoh an essen tial article as bread. It is not the ourrenoy but the rascality of speculators which is the cause of prices which the poor are compelled to pay for such an every -day needed article as flour. At the present time its prioe is ex orbitantly high, out of all proportion, and we have good reasons for saying that, high as it is, there is every probability that it will be yet higher before the winter is very far advanced. Our people have all read rumors of a "corner" in the grain market of the West, and of how the farmers are holding back the crops and the dealers are buying Ehort and speculating generally, in order that tLere may be a stringency in the East ern market, and they thus be able to secure the usurious prices which they hope to attain. Now, these rumors are more than idle tales. They are all of them true. The Western papers confess the fact that there exists a "tendency," as they would term it, on the part of the farmers to delay sending their crops to the eastward. This, in other and plainer words, means a corrupt and crimi nal "ring" to raise the price of bread and cause riches to flow to their cotlers by unduly robbing the poor of their hard earnings. For this the farmers are to a certain extent respon sible, but the great blame of it rests on the Chicago Corn Exchange on the heavy dealers who buy up a hundred thousand bushels and hold it to buit their pleasure. An indignant contemporary, who understands how the mat ter is done, thus describes it: "Many people do not understand what 'cor nering tue grain market' menus, aliaougti there me few wco have not buttered from tue ill ellecth ol It. To elleoi a 'corner,' theu, it is only iieotesary for a body of men to conspire together to buy five buudreJ thousand Uustielg ot corn or wheat at a certain prioe, to bs de livered cd a certain day, In a certain market, which in capable of supplying four hundred Iboufcand bushels only lu that lime. It is prin cipally the smart money drawn from the failure to deliver the one hundred thousand bushels that cannot be obtained, on which the conspi rators make their profit." Now this Is true so far as the dealers are concerred, but the farmers are also greatly to blame. They produce a general stringency throughout all the East, in order to seoure their ends, and at the very time they are keep ing back their oorn in order to seoure a ficti tious prioe. A number of our contemporaries, among them the Economist, are in favor of some law to restrain these evil-doers, and talk about an act of Congress. An act of Congress wonld not accomplish sufficient good to justify the use of the paper on whioh it is written. It would be the Stevens Gold bill re-enaoted. The only way that it oan be prevented is that prevention which nature affords, and whioh, we are glad to say, is on the eve of breaking the "corner" all to pieces. It is caused by two things. First, the dosing ef the naviga tion of the great lakes. As soon as winter sets in, the rivers and lakes are frozen, the cauals closed up, and the usual cheap means of transportation out off. If it were not for this, grain oould be kept back with enormous profit until January. But if it is kept too long West, it can only be lent East by rail, and the cost of the freight is such as to make the aotual expense of the grain so great that no margin is left for great profits. It is found to be more advantageous to send the produce on now than to wait until then. Uenoe nature compels the 'corner" to break at a certain time. The time is now arrived, and if grain would be got East, it must com mence at once. So this supplies a law more effectual than an aot. of Congress. The second reason Is, that while grain is strongest here, money is strongest there. We oan get along without grain for a oertain time, but long before we give out,, in bread they give out in money. The West tries to then get money advanced from the East, and the Eist in return oompels the forwarding of the grain. At the present time, the Illinois papers are lamenting the need of money. They clearly see that if they had only enough to hold oat and keep their grain on hand they oould extort to an alarming extent more. Bat, alas for them I they cau tt West, with its millions of bushels, is "hard op." Henoe we hear of talk about shipments aud of weakening the corner. It needs no law to break it. Its own weight will do that be fore thirty days are past. The prices may go a little higher, but then they mast come down. Western grain is not like Pennsylvania ooal. It is a long Journey to get it here, and money must be had by the beginning of the year; so that a wise provision of natare will effect re suits which Congress and all Its laws would signally fail to accomplish. When we com mence to hear of failures in the West we may know the cause aud give a due amonut of sympathy "the 'oorner' has broken down a little too soon, and some have fallen with it." " T. W." has arrived. He landed yesterday In New York, and it Is announced that on Monday next he will hasten to Washington, "to pay his respects to the Presidentelect." This means business for which " T. W." has a wholesome appetite. When he pays his re ppects to any man of prominence, it is some thing more than by way of a 'ormal call. He never did such a thing as journey all the way from New York to Washington merely to shake hands with a prominent official. There was always carried, on such a trip, an axe of larger or smaller dimensions, the edge of which re oeived more or less of a grinding. The axe that ILurlow Weed will carry to Washington next week will probably be the one with wLich Le4 proposes to fell the timber which he hopes General Grant may be induced to accept for cabinet material. "T. W." has felled suoh timber before, and enjoys the sport hugely. Old and feeble aa he is, he has not resigned his position as "King of the Lobby," and head of the Kitchen Cabinet. lie aspires to no official position himself, being content to pull the strings which move tho rulers of the nation; ambi tious, like Warwick, not of being king, but of making and unmaking kings. That he will lay out a four years' plan for General Grant there can be no donbt; that he will urge that plan upon the President elect is equally cer tain; that he will kindly offer to dispose of the principal positions within the gift of the nation's choice is to be taken as a matter of course; and that he will return to New York with a glgantio ilea in his ear is an event quite likely to occur. Tub Committee on Revision of Studies, in its recent report to the Board of Controllers, recommended that the new rule to avoid home studies should not be abolished. The wisdom of their deoision will only be questioned by those who unthinkingly approve the old oram ming process, whioh in thousands of instances weakened the physical and intellectual vigor of overtasked pupils, and made education an engine of destruction. It is time that every parent should oomprehend that intense and constant mental application of children re sults in many inetanoes in "a broken consti tution, an early death, and an unavailing never-ending sorrow." The pupil who be comes letter-perfect in all the books used in the publio schools by extraordinary and un healthy exertions, gives for such knowledge infinitely more than it is worth. The true end of education is to develop and strengthen the mind and to teach children how to think, rather than to burden their brains with a mass of information by resorting to a process that weakens their reasoning faculties and .unfits them for the useful pursuits of life. It is announced that another effort will bs made at the approaohing session of Congress to connect the telegraphio and postal systems of the country. The experiment has proved entirely successful in all the leading conti. nental nations, and it has reoently been adopted in Great Britain. There is no good reason why it should not also be praotloable and eminently useful in the United States Capital and labor are wasted in the mainte" nance In every town of separate postal and telegraphio offices. Under proper regulations the people could be supplied with telegraphio intelligence for less than one-half the present prices, and telegraphio wires oould be widely extended in every direotion. The Daath of Ex-Govkbnob Tod, of Ohio, which is announced by telegraph as having Uken place suddenly this morning, will cre ate a profound sensation throughout the coun try. In 1801 he was elected Governor of Ohio by a majority of over fifty five thousand in a total vote of 358,000, and served honorably and faithfully from 1862 to 1864, bending all his energies to the furtherance of the good, cause of liberty and union. He was one of that noble band of loyal Governors whose deeds will go down into history rivalling in splendor the achievements of their colaberers on the field of battle. Ocb Finakces, On our first page to day we give the substance of the annual report of General Spinner, Treasurer of the United States, showing the operations of the Trea sury Department for the fiscal year ending Jane 30, 18G8. It will be read with interest by every person who has anything at stake in the country. A decrease of over $142, 000,000 in the receipts are shown; while the expenditures have deoreased $5S,000,000 in the Navy and Public Debt Departments, and inoreased $34,000,000 in the Interior, Civil, and War Departments. Amdbiko. The Age is "amused" by wit nessing "the distrust of General Grant that has grown up la the radical mind tince the eleotion." We hope the Agt will continue to find amusement by obscuring its editorial vision with such harmless oobwebs of false hood. ' " i . HATS AND CAPS. SPECIAL NOTICES.
