promtMr. J. IlcrukL
A. 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

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.

What are we to do with Mexico ? That we,

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

luxction) regarding the lepeal of the Tenure-of-Ollice
law. Xne country ueHlrts the demolition
of every barrier that will obstruct Uraut's

the administrative service. The next four years

It arliu activny. li inev are worse, wo will be
threatened wiibruln if belter, it must be by

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:

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.
