GOOD AND BAD GOVERNMENTS.
The question often suggests itself to thinking
Americans, Have we the best government?
wid many honest and patriotic men are often
disposed to have a doubt on the subject when
A comparison is made between the orderly
and systematic style in which all the details
, of such a government as that of France, for
instance, are conducted, and our own loose
way of doing business, with the outrageous
frauds that are daily exposed, the impossi
bility of checking them, the disgraceful scram
bling for offices, the low character of our
politicians, and the open infamy of much of
our legislation. On the surface, one sys
tem is all order, regularity, intelligent
exertion of power for the benefit of the sub
ject and the nation at large; and the other
seems a state of semi-anarchy, in which no
one has any responsibility, and the only rule
seems to be "every one for himself and the
devil take the hindermost." As an illustration
of the difference between the American and
European style of government, an anecdote is
rotated by the Rev. Newman Hall. When he
was in the United States, one evening he fell
into a deep hole which had been dug across
the road and left there without any lantern to
warn the traveller, and without even a piece of
board to prevent him from tumbling in and
breaking his neck. Mr. Hall was se verelybruisod,
and it was some time before he could sum
mon any one to his assistance. Referring to
the matter in the presence of an American
friend, Mr. Hall drew a rather unfavorable
comparison between the American and Eng
lish way of managing such matters, and con
tended that the law ought to protect the indi
vidual citizen by providing some safeguards
in an instance of this .sort. The American
contended that he was all wrong, for while in
Europe the Government looked upon the sub
jects as children, and undertook to keep them
alike out of harm and mischief, in this coun
try every individual citizen was expected to
exercise his intellect and take care of himself.
Of course, such a principle as this can be
carried to an extreme, but it is essentially the
correct principle, nevertheless; and such pa
ternal governments as those of France and
Russia, while they have praiseworthy features,
as the first-class police arrangements that
will prevent the traveller from tumbling into
pitfalls, have inconveniences that more than
counterbalance their merits.
' In the United States citizens, under all the
ordinary vicissitudes of life, are expected to
take care of themselves, and they generally
do it better and with more satisfaction than if
they were under a constant police espionage.
There are few men who would not rather take
the risk of tumbling down a deep hole occa
sionally than to have the eyes of a policeman
constantly watching every movement. And
this is just where the republican Government
of the United States asserts its superiority:
the citizen can do what ne pleases, can go
where he pleases, and can say what he pleases
without let or hindrance from anybody, so
Ions as he does not trespass on other men's
rights.
Our political rings, and wire-pulling, office-
Lunting, revenue frauds, and other unplea
sant features are certainly not to our credit;
but in the United States such matters are
openly discussed, the rascals are denounced,
ana tne public nave tne power to create a
reform if they choose to take the trouble to
do so. Under a despotic government there is
probaVly more swindling and rascality among
attaches of the Government than there is
here, but such matters are hashed up, the
press dares not speak of them, and because no
body ever hears them mentioned many are
silly enough to believe that corruption does
not exist. Every now and then some grand
piece of rascality in connection with the Gov
ernment is brought to light, and the world
has a glimpse of the corruption that is so
carefully hidden from their gaze on ordinary
occasions. Heavily taxed as we are, and
swindled as we are by dishonest men in offices
of trust and honor, the American people have
yet cause to congratulate themselves that theirs
is yet the cheapest and best government on the
face of the earth. When we become disgusted
with the corruption and dishonesty that per.
wade our public, service, it is just as well
sometimes to look ou the other side of the
picture, and to estimate the blessings that we
really enjoy, lbere are few American citi
sens who would not prefer to enjoy their
present liberty of speech and action, at the
I ir..i ' .
expense OI some mmYeiv aii 11 aouiugiori or
Harrisburg, rather than to exchange our loose
jointed system for a more perfect organization
like that of France, which could never exist ex
cept under a despotism. The people of
. this country can put down the wire-pullers',
the rings, and the professional politicians, if
they choose to make the effort; and it is be
cause they will not make the effort that
rascality in politics has become so rampant,
This is a duty, however, that ought not to be
evaded, and those who enjoy the blessings of
ft free government ought also use their influ
ence to make it respectable. It is disgraceful
that a few corrupt men should be permitted
to aianage our publio offices solely for the be
nefit of their own pockets; and the isuua is
now being fairly presented in this city and
btat as to whether tne people or the rag-tag
nd bob-tail or the various political prgauisft
)iOC3 ftwl rule,
THE MISFORTUNES OF BRAZIL,.
Emtf.bob IV-mo just now must be, like
"Othello," "perplexed in the extreme." The
Paraguayan dictator, at bay in some Undis
covered fastness, is exhausting at once by
persistence the power and patience of his
army and his ally and the imperial treasury.
An English steamer, in attempting to leave
llio with a foreign resident aboard who had
not published, according to the requirement
of a law for the protection of oreditorn, his in
tention of departure, has been fired into by
Fort Santa Cruz, and compelled to return to
her anchorage ground. And Minister Webb,
having several times before threatened to
leave, has finally turned his back on the de
lightful villas and semi-tropical luxuriance of
Gloria and sailed for home, as fully charged
with diplomatic choler as any battery of
Leyden jars is with electricity.
And the war in Paraguay, which was to
have been finished with the capture of the
fortresses, and was said certainly to be fin
ished with the occupation of Asuncion, still
drags its slow length along. The victorious
allies lingered at the deserted capital to play
at a make-believe government which fed
about a thousand miserable inhabitants of
both sexes, maimed, sick, and superannuated,
for their fealty. Then the old Brazilian Field
Marshal, in a fit of spleen, turned over the
command of the forces to a subordinate, an I,
without any ' leave of absence having been
accorded him, returned to Rio. The suc
cessor of Caxias has in turn been succeeded
by an imperial prince, who is now at the front
as commander-in-chief, and directing the
march towards the interior, which has begun
rather disastrously with the destruction of a
Brazilian cavalry regiment.
Whatever of selfishness may have entered
into the motives that led to this crusade
against Lopez, and whatever of retribution
within the allowed limits of modern warfare
may be meted out to him by the allies if they
succeed, his humiliation, if not his destruc
tion, will be in the interests of humanity and
civilized progress. Doubtless the atrocious
rigor with which he has governed a singu
larly docile and courageous people an
Indian race early trained to habits of unques
tioning obedience by the Jesuits has been
exaggerated by enemies who barely escaped
the fate of victims; but the testimony to the
terrorism of his utterly irresponsible govern
ment, and to acts of malignant personal
savagery, from intelligent and reputable
foreigners, and even on the admission of his
own officers, is cumulative and irrefutable.
He belongs to an inhuman crew of little
Hispano-Indian despots, as represented pre
eminently by his own father, Rosas, and
Francia, who have long been the curse of that
vast and exuberant region watered by the
Plata and its tributaries. Relying upon sub
jects whom he robbed, tortured, and executed
at pleasure, but who were trained into an
anomalous aud fanatical devotion which could
exist only among Ravages with a rudimentary
culture, he treacherously armed himself, in
the security of insincere compacts, for pur
poses of aggression and aggran 'izement. He
sought north, west, and south 1'or fresh terri
tory, that he might subject it to his deso
lating rule and afflict it with his narrow
policy. His Paraguayans have fought with
an imposing intrepidity and suffered with a
stoical endurance. But they have been com
pelled to surrender to and recede before
superiority in numbers and the appliances of
military science. Much more than half of the
fighting population of the country is supposed
to have perished in the field, in the trenches,
by disease and famine. And perhaps at this
time there remain to the Dictator not over
three hundred thousand subjects, spared by
the devastation of a wantonly provoked war, in
the entire State.
After all, in the contemplation of the human
misery and vast desolation of Paraguay,
the ruler of Brazil will probably not be dis
posed to hawk his sorrows in too loud a key.
Though he may be threatened again with
arrogant demands delivered from behind
British guns pointed at his palace, and though
he may feel eclipsed by a cloud of diplomatic
disfavor, he still has the consolation of
beautiful capital, a quiet people, and a pros
perous empire.
OBITUARY.
Cliarle. D. Aleiffs, fll. D.
The venerable Charles D. Meigs, M. D., one of the
most distinguished medical men of the day, died
suddenly yesterday at his residence In Delaware
county. Dr. Meigs was a native of the State of
Georgia, but he was a resident of Philadelphia du
ring the greater portion of his long and useful life,
and both in his professional capacity and as a prl
vate citizen he was well known and respected by
the entire community. He entered the medical de
partment of the University of Pennsylvania In 1812,
and after completing his course of
studios, he returned to his home In
the South, where he remained for several years. In
the year 1820 he took nphis residence permanently
in Philadelphia, and In a short time gained an exten
sive and very valua jle practice. He made a spe
cialty of the diseases of women and children, and In
the important and difficult branch of obstetrics he
obtained a well-deserved reputation, and was con
sidered the highest living authority on the subject in
the United States, About the year 1S40 he accepted
a professorship in Jefferson Medical College, and for
twenty years he labored with much success as an
Instructor in that institution, contributing much to
its efficiency and high standing as a school of medl
cine.
About six years ago Dr. Meigs, although in fall
possession of all his faculties, began to feel the
weight of years, and he determined to retire from
professional life ; and iu order to escape the demands
that were constantly made upon him, he took up his
residence on his farm in Delaware county, where he
amused himself with literary work, which gave him
all the occupation that be desired In his declining
m. meigs was connected with the obstetrical de
partment or the Pennsylvania Hospital for about ten
years, and he was well known, both in the Old and
New oriu, as a clear and forcible writer on inedi.
cal subject. Ills earliest writings appeared in the
Xorth American Medical and Surgical Journal, which
ne eoneu in connection witn ura. Hodge, Bache,
coates, and La uocne. ne also translated Velpeau
"Elementary Treatise on Midwifery," aud also the
complete treatise of the same author, in 1838
he ; published The , Philadelphia Prac
tlce of Midwifery;" in 184T, "Leotures
on some of the Distinctive Characteristics of the
Female"; in 1848, "Remarks on Spasmodic Cholera;
in 1849, "Obstetrics: the Science and Art;" and in
lsw), "0ervatlons on Certain Diseases of Chil
dren." Tuco work by Dr. Melf are considered
standard authorities in the medical profession. As
a writer lie km clear, forcible, and elegant, and In
addition to hla knowledge of medical science he wu
a gentleman of One culture and literary tastes, in
addition to the works enumerated above, he pub
lished a number of lectures on medical and other
subjects, and bnt a short time ago he Issued a trans
lation 01 singuiariy interesting rrencn novel en
titled "Typhaincs Abbey."
, Dr. Meigs leaves a large circle of warm porsonal
and professional friends to mourn his death, and the
medical profession loses one of its most distinguished
ornaments.

Messrs. Marvin A Co. I
Gentlemen : The Spherical Safe No. 4 was duly received
and subjected to such teats aa we required, and we are glad
to say that it withstood all the assaults made upon it.
Respectfully,
D. E. SMALL, President.
York Tries a Spherical.
In York's fair streets, where Rebel bugles blew,
When Lee marched North to find his Waterloo,
Peace scatters blessings now with bounteous hand,
And grateful plenty fill, the smiUng land,
A trial, not of arms, together drew
Her people lately, to a novel view ;
To test with power in every way they could
The huge Black Bali, that ou the pavement stood.
They first skilled men, with hardened drills, obtain,
To penetrate its iron skull in vain ;
The tempered steel snaps on Its flinty form.
And feebly fails the sturdy shell to harm ;
Now brawny arms aloft the sledges wield.
Dealing stout blows, to force the sides to yield ;
The powerful sinews tire at last to swing :
The solid sledge, cracked like a worthless thing,
No more assails the impenetrable ball,
And Mabvim's Bubolab Sate dettes them all.

Gents: A persistent but unsuccessful effort was
made on the night of Mar 89, 1869, to drill the
Banker's chest received from you a few month ago.
Prom facts that have come to our knowledge, it la
evident that the attempt to open it was renewed on
Sunday evening following. Finding all efforts to drill
it useless, the effort was then made to break the
lock. The hammering was heard by parties In the
neighborhood for several hours, but supposing it to
arise from the railroad men replacing a defective
rail, excited no alarm. The tools, with the exception
of the drills, were left. It Is evident that they were
not only prepared, but perfectly familiar with the
construction of yonr Chest,
That they Ailed Is another evidence that your
