Georgia Dt-uioisiatid paper declares that tbe Kepubilcaq party of that State id now bopeleHsly Split iu twain." One faction U headed by Uovt-rnor Utillock, who wants the State again kicked out of thn Union, and the other is beaded by the Atlanta Era. The Uullotk wing had a rueetiDg at Atlanta on the night of the 15th and reaolred "that reoon fltruction was not complete In Georgia," whereupon the hra avers that "the meeting did not represent the sentiments of the Repub lican party in Georgia," and protests against the proceedings of all such meetings. Now what is the policy, under suoh ciroumstanoes, of the conservatives and all others wh,o desire to Bee the South rolieved of all disabilities and reBtored at once to her proper position in the Union? It is to let these turbulent radioal factions fight it out among themselves, and the true men ol the South keep on raising good orops, making money, beooming econo mical and developing the resources of the ocnntry. The radicals in the South, iu fact all over the country, are in a state of ferment about who shall retain and who shall obtain office nnder the incoming administration. This will keep them busy for some time to come, and in the midst of their quarrels the South will do well to remember that when "icgnes fall out honest men come by their own." licvoluiion. from the Hartor d Conn') 1'imrs. It was usurpation and revolution for Con gress to declare that the people of three States of this Union should not vote in a Presiden tial election. The reconstruction measures of Congress are revolutionary. When Con cress met in joint convention the other day to see the votes opened and counted, the spirit of revolution was rife. Having usurped power repeatedly, it was tried again, and voting to throw away the votes of eleotors in this State and that, raised such a row as is witnessed in revolutionary times suoh as was repeatedly witnessed in the Fenou Assembly in the height of the French revolution. This came from the revolutionary course and the policy of usurpation on the part of Congress. On this oooasion the joint convention was, nnder the Constitution, a board of canvassers only the Constitution directing the presiding otlicer of the Senate to "open all the certifi cates in the presence of the Senate and the House of Representatives; and the votes shall then be counted." There is nothing more to be done, unless there shall be no choice, in whioh case the House of Representatives shall choose. There beiDg a choice, the per son having a majority of the votes "shall be the President." The joint convention had no authority to throw away or add to the votes of the States returned to the President of the Senate. The members of both houses had only to be pre sent when the certificates were opened and the rotes counted. Motion b to change those certificates and declare a result different from that rendered by the States at once threw the Senators and Representatives into a mob, and scenes dis graceful to the couutry ensued. So we find that the fruits of usurpation are seen sometimes in this way in the violencb and disgraceful conflicts among the usurpers themselves. The violenoe and disorders on this occasion were precipitated by the jealou sies existing between the House and the Senate. When they were brought together the com bustible material was at onoe ignited. Sepa rately, each was ready to change the votes of States. Neither scrupled at any crime. Bat together they disagreed upon the mode and the States that were to be trampled down, and the flames of passion burst out. Over such work as this the people seem to be slumber Ing. The War Iu Paraguay. From the N. T. Herald. The intelligence from Paracruar confirms the views we have hitherto held that the fall of the river defenses would not be the end of the war. So it turns out. Lopez is as de fiaxit as ever, and has taken to the not distant mountains and called his obedient people around him. From one little faot we deiuoe that they will obey the call unhesitatingly When the Brazilian troops marched into Asuncion the city was found intact not a thing displaced or removed and the remain ing inhabitants pursuing their usual vocation. Two hours bad not elapsed from the Brazilian entry when every house had been sacked and the plunder conveyed to me camp and ships of the ailiei. Had Marshal uasias arranged wun Lopez a deep and consummate plan to give new life to the waning cause, a better one oould not have been devised than the sacBing ol Aauuoioa. The vandalism of the Brazilians will create its impression in every hamlet and cause every Paraguayan heart to turn with renewed hope to Lopez. From this moment we date the decline of the war in Paraguay and the march of events to an early rupture of the triple alliance for its destruction. The allied efforts depend for success on the cooperation of their fleet. This can act no longer on tne ouensive, as Lopez has withdrawn from the river, and may now assume a desultory war, which must keep tne allied army ana neet ever on tne alert lor defense. Among the allies a spirit of distrust and even enmity to Brazil already Bhows itself. At Buenos AyreS President Sarmieuto objects to the military dispositions or the Brazilian com' mander-in-obief, while in Montevideo the popular feeling exhibits a stronger develop ment in mobs and stones. Meanwhile Brazil begins to see that she is paying the whole cost of extending Argentine sway over the Gran Chaoo aud Parana, and that Uruguay is as determined as ever to resist Imperial en croachment. These are but tu premonitions of the ooming rupture which the weakuess of the Brazilian treasury tends to hasten, and thus, in the moment of its seeming triumph, Brazil exhibits the indications 9i greatest weakness. The Mexican Muddle. ffv.m thm N. T. World. What are we to do with Mexico ? That we, tli rjeoDle of the Unitel btates, must do some thing with Mexico, is unquestionable. The flaming Ucalegon Is our next-door neighbor, and that UCaiegon nauioB io, " greav wea work. It is certain that Mexico. during the short reign of Maximilian, was a mnr auiet and. In her foreign relations, a mftr nlvilized and tolerable State than she ever waB before that unhappy prince crossed v. in rnla her. save for the brief period of the American conquest under General Soott. It ia equally oertain that since the iTnioi ntotoa in the tmrauanoe of our trail- tional polioy on this continent, made the em ,.t ui.imiiiin n ImDOSsibllitr (fortUe Mexican resistance to the Franco-Austrian occupation took its whole vitality from our attitude), the so-called Mexican Kepullio has f)ok Into a onndition ft I deplorable as that iu which Mr, MoLtn InamA It when be negotiated, in 18i0, th-. xtill-born Ocampo treaty which 8wrd and Tootnba combined to stifle ere Its birth. At tbe present nmment, the OovHrnment of Jusrn is toe-slug like ft Hsiuanmd blp io a norther, off Vera Craz. It tuy be loagit or a shorter tiro before it ia driven ou tli shore and dashtd to pieces; but the oatai troplie is inevitable. Aud when the oatabtrophn ball have occurred what then r It is easy to say that we have only to put out cur bands and annex this distracted re gion to our own territories. But, whereas all our previous acquisitions sinoe the "area of fretdom" first began to be enlarged under Jefferson have been acquisitions of territory either quite unpeopled or so sparsely peopled as to make the assimilation of its populaton an easy task for us, the annexation of Mexico, like the annexation of Cuba, would be the aggregation into our political body of a large and well-established community too numerous to be obliterated by any sudden wave of American immigration, and so radically nulike oui own people in habits, origin, religion, and manners as to make the problem of digestion a very grave and serious one. With Louisiana we added to ourselves a small number of French and Spanish subjeots iaminaiizea witu tne principles and the prac tice of order and of liberty under forms dif fering indeed from, but not neoessarily Incom patible with, our own institutions. Florida brought us a mere handful of Spanish citizen?; and California was practioally uninhabited. With New Mexico we acquired a quota of colonial and hybrid Spanish-Indian inhabi tants, insignificant in proportion to the extent of the region over which they were scattered, yet so troublesome, by reason of their intrin sic unlikeness to ourselves, that the Tribune and the radicals are to-day gravely urging the establishment of the "Freedmen's Bureau" in that country, under the pretext of abolish ing the plague of "peonage." What would be the results to our body politio, in its actual condition, of the sudden admist-ion ef seven or eight millions of the composite Mexican race to the rights and privileges of "American citizenship!"' The imagination recoils from the apocalypse of "carpet-baggers" opened to our gaze by the mere suggestion I St. Thomas we might swallow with comparative ease, for its inhabi tants, so to speak, might all dance together on the point of a oambrio needle; and, few as they are, they are of a kindred blood, for the most part, with the Saxons and the Norse men, our forefathers in freedom. St. Domingo, even, might be manageable by our national gastric juices; for it numbers, we believe, hardly more than a hundred thousand people, planted on a region nearly equal in extent to the New hDglaud states exclusive of Maine. But Mexico, in its most important districts. is as thickly settled as many of the most pros perous parts of the Union. What are we to do with it 7 Were there but one-twentieth as many statesmen at Washington as there are politicians, such a question as this, pressed npon us by events such as those whioh are now occurring and duriug the last five years hare occurred in Mexico, would long ere this have been clearly brought before the public mind and practically discussed in the publio interest. But the American preBS, not the American Congress, represents the statesman ship and leads the policy of the republic to day. And what Congress is too careless or too ignorant to deal witn, it lias now become tne duty of the press seriously to moot aud patri otically to decide. Our Difficulties withFuglaud. From the y. Y. Ttmet. We are by no means certain that the treaty which Mr. Reverdy Johnson has negotiated with England for the settlement of the Ala bama claims ought to be ratified by the Senate. Indeed, if our differences with Eng land are so grave and comprehensive as they are represented in some quarters, it is very clear that it ought not to be. It is unques tionably true that the material loss ot the ships burned or sunk by the rebel cruisers fitted out in English ports by no means mea sures the injury done us by .hug land during the war. It was her premature recognition of the rebels as belligerents, and as entitled to all the rights of a nation at war. wmon nrst gave tie Confederacy position and strength to carry on the war; and it was tne tolerated use by the rebels of English ports, English workmen and English capital in building, aiming, manning, equipping and sending to sea rebel cruisers against our oommeroe, that created a rebel navy, gave vigor and effeot to the rebellion, and prolonged the war for a year or more beyond what, but for such aid. would have been its end. And the motive of this extraordinary course was very largely hostility to the United States as a national power, and a desire te check its growth and arrett the development of its national Strength. But theEe are aots which constitute national insults and national wrongs. It may be very well nrged that such acts of hostility cannot be settled by the payment of damages. The material losses which may have resulted di rectly Irom them, even where they can be dis tinctly traced, do not measure the degree of wrong involved or the extent of injury in flicted. But f-r the moral support and en couragement held out by England and France, at the beginning of the Rebellion, and at va rious stages of us progress, it is very doubtful whether the war would have lasted a year, while it is quite certain It could never have grown bo powerful, and lasted so long, and done such serious damage to the country, in it actually did. On this theory, a large part of the whole cost of the war, in lire, in money, and in suf fering, may rightfully be charged to Englaud, if this is to be made a matter of account cur rent, and settled on that basis. But every one sees how absurd that would be. If this is our complaint if we charge England with having prolonged the war and added millions to its cost wiih having swept our commerce from the ocean, driven our flag from the seas, discarded the obliga tions of neutrality, trampled on our national rights, and insulted our national honor the question ceates to be one of damages, and be comes one of national honor, and cau be ad justed only as questions of honor always are adjusted by nations proud enough to feel an insult and strong enough to resent it. It can only be settUd by u ar. If we are to take this view of the wrong done us, we cannot take any other view of the remedy opeu to us. Nations do not claim damages for their injured honor. They do not present psouniary olairus for tights tcoffed at aud trampled on. We must tither place our complaints of England's action during our war ou a different basis on tome basis ttiat admits the allegation of specific acts, involving speoilio lo3ses, to be atoned for by specific acta of payment or apology or else we must punish the wrong and avenge the insult in the usual way. The world has not outgrown the era of warj, nor has any new mode of settling interna tional controversies been yet devised aud accented. The Tribune finds another mode of settling this difficulty. It is opposed utterly to Mr. Reverdy Johnson's treaty. ., Our complaint of England, It Bays, ia not for the specific Wen rapidly lao-ovs loFffi she Inflicted npon our commerce, or (or the tangioie injury sn oansed us "not elmply tor a few ships burned, but for our national rights trampled upou; our natioual honor wounded; our oommnroe destroyed; our war, with its sorrows, prolonged; the graves ot our heroes multiplied; the burden of our d.bt largely increased." Nevertheless it thinks all these things may be atoned for all difficulties may be settled and all contro versies adjusted by the payment of damages, provided only that payinnut U large enough tad of ihe right kind If England will only transfer Canada to our jurisdiction, abandon all further claim and title to that country and hand it over to us, in satisfaction of our Just complaints of her conduct during the war, the whole quarrel, the Tribune thinks, may be amicably settled to the mutual satisfaction and the material advantage of all concerned. A good many things might be said about this proposition; but one is probably enough. England would much rather go to war with the United States than cede Canada to us on any such grounds. The idea that she would do anything of the kind that, by way of confessing her wrong and making atone ment for it, she would cede to ns the largest and best of her colonies, is preposterous and absurd. Such a scheme is open to the weightiest of the objections urged against the Johnson treaty, that it propose to settle a national wrong by pecuniary damages, and is further subject to the additional objection that it is utterly and absurdly Impracticable. There are three ways of settling our differ ences, each of which may commeni itself to a special class of minds: 1. We can settle it on a oaala of the John son treaty, by payment of losses to our com merce, to be fixed by a joint commission, England having agreed to that mode of ad justment. 2. Or we can take redress by war, whioh is the usual and straightforward mode of re venging Buch injuries and insults as we com plain of. 3. Or, we can let things rest, and by recog nizing the Cubans, or the Fenians, or the Cretans, or some other revolted fragment of a people as belligerents, convince Rugland practically how the lessons of international obligation she practised on us can be turned against her, to her own great detriment. This does not strike us as especially high-toned or especially worthy a great and a powerful nation. England is doubtless more deeply interested in the repudiation of the theories of neutrality on which she herself acted during the war than we are, and in due time she will probably take the proper steps to secure such a result, Jint that time will scarcely be has tened by our insisting on keeping our quarrel with her open, in the hope of being able to take advantage of dilliculties iu which the her self may become involved. Tenure of Office. From the N. T. Tribune. Tie New York Times saye: "Sec u tors seem to be unaware or the Interest taken by the people In I heir action (or rather luxction) regarding the lepeal of the Tenure-of-Ollice law. Xne country ueHlrts the demolition of every barrier that will obstruct Uraut's course in reforming the awful corrop i.n of the administrative service. The next four years will either be betur or worse loan the l-isi Tour lor corrupllou.il not arrested. HpreaJH with It arliu activny. li inev are worse, wo will be threatened wiibruln if belter, it must be by peremptory reform, and tins l.s Impossible while the Tenure-of-Office law remains. Sena- lors must know this, aud they niuat know that the people know it. If General Grant were to be President for ever; it u were impossible ever to nave an other Andrew Johnson; if there were no good principles involved in the Civil Tenure-of- Office bill, then we might accept the theory of the limes. Sometimes its theories have an absurd application. In the Times of Sunday we have a long article severely censuring the Senate for presuming to entertain tne amend ment of Senator Edmuuds that no military or naval officer should hold additionally a civil office. According to the Times, the first evil of that law would be to prevent the appoint ment of General Sherman in the Cabinet 1 Then we should have innumerable frauds upon naval and military departments, and ceneral rascality everywhere I lu other word?, all office holders tnat aon i come irom me armv and navy are thieves 1 We repeat this summary of the limes former article to make a comparison with the extract here quoted. There is a haughty tone about this paragraph which is amusing "Senators seem to be unaware of the interest taken by the people in their aotion (or rather inaction) in regard to the repeal of the Tenure-of-Office law." We see little interest in this subject. The bill was not even honored with a debate in the House. It was whirled through under some parliamentary rule. 1 he mil a enoes which accomplished that sudden repeal stand hammering and battering at the doors of the Senate. "The country does not desire the demolition of every barrier that will ob struct Grant's oourse in reforming the awful corruption of the administrative service." But does the Civil Tenure-of-Office law prove to be such a "barrier?" Does the Times imagine that if General Grant were to send to the Senate on the bth of March names for every revenue place in the country, and say he had made the removals lor "tne public good," they would not be confirmed ? Ia it wise to say that the Civil Tenure-of-Office bill was passed merely as an annoyance to Presi dent Johnson ? Are we to put upon the record that all legislation of the past few years was temporary and trivial mere expediency, without statesmanship or purpose? Of course, the editor of the Times would be clad to have this admission made, tecause he opposed these measures iu the outset. But is it prudent to surrender this bill without hav ina somethinc in its place ? We don't insist upon the Civil Tenure-of-Office act. We think some of its provisions cumbersome. We should like to Bee the statute in reference to the Cabinet stricken out. We think the Presi dent should be permitted to take prompt re sponsibi iities when b sudden necessity arises, but we regard this bill as forever destroying the vicious principle that "to the victors be long the spoils," and as leading the way to a thoioueh reform of our whole civil service. We have not the least fear about General Grant. At the same time we think the Civil Tenure-of-Office bill will be, in many respects, a convenience and a comfoit to him. It will save him from the overwhelming tide of office getting, which seems about to overwhelm his administration. After Adams we had Jackson. After Taylor we had Buchanan: after Lincoln we had Juhuson. Now we have Grant. AJier Grant, whutf Who knows but even a worse than Johnson may come a President with more tact and higher courage. Give such a man this tremendous civil power, unchecked by the Senate, and we give him imperial Btrenetb. We therefore trust the Senate will be cautious about entirely surrendering this bill. It must not be controlled by the foolish argument that the repeal ia necessary for the success oi ueneral urant's administration. We have yet to bear from General Grant any expression of his desire that it should be re pealed. These angry, impatient, petulant, clamoring politicians who stand at the Senate doors and address us in the language of the Times represent nothing but their own de sires. We care little for this particular bill. We are Indifferent as to the number of amend ments it may reoeive. We are perfeotly will ing it should b reformed; but we do implore hu American CongreBS not to surrender tome uncertainties of future policies the great principle that public offioe shall only be given to publio worth. What It Touts. from the ft. T. Evening Pott. The 'tribune gives the consumption of pig iron in the United States as follows: 1864. 1M4 tST. 1M7. KMmntrH. Dommfn cw'i-21 7('.l ST ?a WW 20 Mi 1 1, mm. io lulorted cwlr. 1,67 Ai 1 M7.KXI 2,27tt.7l t liff.WJ CoiiR'ptlon, CWl.84.MMU2 Z8,8U1I4 Il.tM.tll t,lU7,u5 These figures appear to be nearly correot. The duty on the 2,107,905 hundredweights imported is, at nine dollars per too, not quite (1)50,000; allowing eight per cent, for the gross cost of collecting the duty, the actual receipts of the Treasury from the tax on pig iron was not quite $875,000 in gold. What does this tax cost the people T Pig iron is now worth in New York, if there were no law to make it dear, less than $19 per ton in gold; but it sella at $29 per ton in gold, and the whole amount consumed, whioh the Tribune states at 1, G55, 390 tons, thus costs the people $10,553,900 in gold mo're than it is worth, on accouut of the tax. Thus the peo ple are actually taxed by act of Congress $16,500,000 in gold every year; of which $875,000 are for the Treasury, and all the rest, nearly ninety- live per cent, or the whole, ia sheer waste, so far as the country is con cerned, going to enrich men who render no equivalent. Where it goes is shown by such returns as a set of furnaces "in one of the Middle States" made to the owners, and which Mr. Wells gives in hit report, "show ing a yearly product of oD,000 tons, on a capi tal of $450,000, sold at a profit of from $10 to $ld a ton," an annual proiit ol one hundred per eent. on the capital. ' i a - fSi. i - f m unaer tne rapid improvements science ana experience are suggesting, iron and all of its manufactures grow cheaper in the markets of the world every year, inis movement is a measure of civilization; and the progress of society at large, as well as the condition of any single community or nation, cannot be more fairly tested than by the Biniple inquiry, how much iron will a day's work buy? But as discoveries and inventions are made whioh cheapen iron, the monopolists of this couutry cry out for higher duties, lest the fall in price ruin them, ihe question la between them and the community at large. They demand the exclusion from this couutry of the benefits ot advancing civilization, in order that their rapid rate of amassing riches may not be diminished. It is said that the new Ellershausen prooess will cheapen wrought iron lmeen dollars a ton if so, those who make wrought iron by the old process will demand an additional duty to that amount on all wi ought iron, in order that tbey may not be ruined. This claim is just it "the proteouve principle," as tne irtbune calls it, has any plaoe in legislation; if taxes are to be levied, live per cent, for the Treasury and ninety-five to enrich producers. But if bo, a general law forbidding improvements of all kinds in manufactures, and inlltoting heavy penalties on any one who makes labor more efficient, would attain the same end, with less appearance ot injustice. there are many taxes like this on pig iron, which take twenty dollars from the people for every dollar which reaches the trersury Those who complain of heavy taxation ought at least to know where the money goes. If the people have heavy burdens to bear, they are not the burdens ef the war and of the national debt. These would be felt as a serious drawback to the prosperity of the country. were they not made doubly and trebly op pressive by what are called "protective duties" on home manufactures; that is, duties so con trived as to raise prices to the highest degree possible, without yielding any important aid to the Government. A little consideration of these taxes of twenty dollars for monopolies and one for the nation, will satisfy any impartial man that this obvious evil is by no means the chief one which results from the system. The taxes on iron enter into the price of every fabric and product used in life. Food, clothing, rent, travelling, furniture and books, are made much dearer by it; and the enjoyments of every man in the community who is not very rich are onrUiled by it. Business of every kind is hampered and burdened by it in unnum bered ways; and the general prosperity of the country suffers from it tenfold more than it would from a direct impost levied to support in idle luxury every man in the country now engaged in making iron. The revenues of the Government suffer with the general prosperity; and there is no doubt at all that the repeal of every duty on iron and manufactures of iron would indirectly add to the duties received from other articles many times as much re venue as it would abandon.
