! f I r t'l 4 THE DAILr EViSJNG TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 1870. PUBLISHED EVERT AFTERNOON (SUNDAYS BXCKPTBD), AT THE EVENING TELEGRAPH BUILDING, No. 108 S. THIRD STREET, PHILADELPHIA. " WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 1870. THE DEATH OF LOPEZ. Intkm.igenoe, apparently authentic, of the death of Lopez, the Paraguayan Dictator, has been reoeiyed through the cable by way of Liubon. The rumors with regard to the whole Paraguayan conflict are so contradic tory that there is always a doubt as to their authenticity, and rn announcing the death of Lopez we must of course expect the possi bility that he will turn up again alive and well. ' This rumor, however, seems to be en titled to credit, and presuming it to be true, we may consider the Paraguayan war to be at an end. There has been a great diversity of opinion as to the right and wrong of this confliot, and Lopez has had many eager par tisans, who have represented him as a pitro and liberal-minded patriot struggling to pre serve the liberties of his country from being crushed out by the despotic Government of Brazil. He at least suoceeded in a very re markable degree in securing the adhesion of his own countrymen, and the resistance of the Paraguayans will stand as one of the most remarkable in history. We believe that the annihilation of Lopez was in the interests of liberty and humanity. He was a tyrant after the manner of his infamous predecessor, Dr. Francia, and he pursued a policy that with the . advancement of civilization could not fail to bring him into a conflict with other nations that would oortainly result in his own de struction. The result of the great war that has terminated in the death of Lopez will be to open up one of the finest and most fruitful regions of South America to emigration, tftmmeroe, and the influences of civilization. It brings to an end a system of government that was a disgrace to the age, and prepares the way for better things. However much we may respect the determined valor and the skilful generalship of Lopez, it is a matter for congratulation that his career has been brought to an end, and that the terrible war that has practically annihilated the Parrguayan nation has finally terminated. CONGRESS AND TAXATION. One of the greatest advantages enjoyed by the poople of this country previous to the war was their comparative immunity from taxation. As, however, they did not stop to count the cost of suppressing theJRebellion, and as they are determined to maintain un tarnished the financial honor of the United States, they are willing now to submit to heavy exactions to defray the annual burden of the existing debt and to provide for its gradual reduction. But legislators, Con gressmen, Cabinet officers, and Presidents should beware how they trifle with this honor able sentiment. The debt has ceased to be a novelty. Men have counted and measured it with no little care, and a series of financial experiments have pretty well de monstrated what is and what is not necessary to provide for its payment. As matters are progressing now, under ex isting laws, the whole principal would be paid off in ten years, and meanwhile the citizens of tha respective States, cities, towns, and counties would be staggering under the Jbwden of a series of local debts only one degree less oppressive than those imposed by national authority. These tax bills consti tute, in the aggregate, a larger average exac tion from each individual and a much larger exaction from each dollar's worth of property than is assessed in any other part of the civilized world; so that, at this moment, America has changed her enviable old posi tion for that of the most heavily taxed nation on the globe While the people shrink with just horror from repudiation, they are daily and hourly growing more indignant at the reokless indifference with which unne cessary burdens have been imposed in some instances, and at the prevailing indisposition at the National Capitol to hasten the adoption of measures that would grant practioal and substantial relief. ' The Secretary of the Treasury estimated, in his last annual report, that the surplus revenue of the present fiscal year would amount to more than one hundred millions of dollars. It is not merely unne cessary, but it is unjust, impolitic, and cruel to the last degree, to extract this enormous sum from impoverished tax-payers. Full treasuries are a per petual temptation to the scheming specu lators who are forever inventing schemes to filch the publio money; and as they prevent the adoption of a strictly economical policy, they constantly stimulate the increase of burdens which are already insupportable. The financial honor of the nation would be amply provided for if one-fourth of the existing national taxation was abolished; and the people are now keenly watching their Representatives to see how speedily and how judiciously they will provide for the abolition of this proportion of the national revenues. Up to this time mat ters have progressed very slowly. We are threatened with a perpetuation of the inoome tax, which is one of the most odious that was ever imposed, and which has justly been denounced for its tendency to convert tha people into a nation of liars. The discussion on the Tariff bill promises to be well-nigh in terminable, and the free-traders are doing their best to make the popular demand for reduced taxation a pretext for overthrowing the diversified domestio industry which is the main reliance for averting eventual bank ruptoy. Meanwhile, nothing tangible aud satisfactory is being done, but the Itepubh can Congressmen who desire to be renocui luteal and re-elected will meet with but a cold reception from their constituents if this do 11011011!! po'icy is not speedily changed. It Is their business to reduce tha , taxes which (to pwpia taw to thoic stwrr m aw ua necessarily heavy. Let them not pander to the pride of this man or that who hopes to boast that, by their connivance in perpetua ting unnecessary burdens, he has paid off in an incredibly short period an incredibly large portion of the publio debt. It is time that false sentimentality and official pride on such subjects should be squelched. The interests of the forty millions of mighty poople who have borne the brunt of the struggle are so im measurably superior to the ambition or the wishes of any single individual or combina tion of individuals, that the crios of op pressed tax-payers for relief should silence every other voice in the Capitol. Let Con gressmen see to it that they do not adjourn without reducing the taxes in a way that every man feels, or let them abandon all aspirations for a re-election. Their tinkering with the tariff will be no exouse if they fail in the main point. If they really mean busi ness, lot thorn abolish the inoome tax, take off the duties on tea and coffee and similar articles, which, while entering into the con sumption of every family, are not produced in this country, and strike from the list of internal revonue taxes every item which can be spared. This is a short, easy, and satis factory method of doing their duty, and if they adjourn without adopting it, or some better mode of relieving a grievously op pressed people, nominating conventions will take special pains to select more faithful Representatives. SENATOR REVELS. The successor of Jefferson Davis in the Senate of the United States will appear bo pear before the public of Philadelphia to morrow evening, in the capacity of a lecturer. This will enable him to say many things that would be out of place in the Senate chamber, and the discourse, whatever its merits may be as a rhetorical or oratorical performance, will have a particular interest and value that will commend it to the notice of all who aro inte rested in the advancement of the colored race. Jefferson Davis left the Senate to accept the position of leader of a rebellion against a free government for the perpetua tion of negro slavery, and there is a poetical justice in the fact that as one of the results of that Rebellion the State of Mississippi is to-day represented in the Senate by one of the race despised and oppressed by Davis and his fellow traitors. That the old spirit of antagonism to the negroes, fostered by the slave system which so long disgraced this country, is not dead yet even in the breasts of those who profess to call themselves Republicans and friends of freedom, was sufficiently shown by the mean and illiberal action of the Ropublican Board of Directors of the Academy of Music These individuals refused to allow Senator Revels to speak from their stage for no other reason than that his skin was a few shades darker than their own, and thereby they merited and received the hearty contempt of a ma jority of their fellow-oitizens. This action of the Academy Directors has found no apologists except among those who apolo gized for the Rebellion, who approved the war, who glorified the successes of the traitors, and who have endeavored in every way to obstruct the progress of free ideas since the Rebellion was subdued, and its principal effect has been to excite a more than usual interest in the gentleman whom they insulted. Senator Revels will be greeted to-morrow evening at Horticultural Hall by an audience that will only be limited by the size of the building, and we anticipate from him a dis course that will demonstrate his title to the re gard of all who are able to appreciate talent and intelligence whether they be possessed by white men or negroes. The subject of Senator Revels' lecture will be "The Press," and he will speak of its uses, abuses, and its great influences for good, especially as shown by the course of the loyal press during the dark hours of the Rebellion. To-morrow will be the anniversary of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and when we remember him as the author of the Emancipation Proclamation, and that he was murdered because he granted freedom to the negroes of the South, it is proper that upon such an occasion a negro who has shown himself fit to occupy one of the highest offices of the Government should appear before a loyal Philadelphia audience as the representa tive of his race. Mr. Revels, since he has been in the Senate, has conducted himself with a modesty that does him credit and that puts to shame his revilers. He has shown himself to be a gentleman and a man of sense by refusing to notice the abuse that has been levelled against him, and he is in every way worthy of a cordial reception at the hands of the citizens of Philadelphia when he appears to-morrow evening. ARCTIC EXPLORATIONS. Quite a lively controversy is now being car ried on before the committees of Congress having charge of the matter by Captain Hall and Dr. I. I. Hayes, the Arctic explorers, with regard to which of the twain shall be entrusted with a new expedition that both are anxious to have Congress fit out for the pur pose of further investigations into the charac ter of the country in the neighborhood of the North Pole. The case, as we understand it, stands thus: Captain Hall wishes to start on a new voyage of Arctio discovery, and to this end he has oooupied a good part of the winter in trying to got an appropriation through Congress. Just as there appears to be a probability that he will succeed in his efforts, Dr. Hayes steps in and claims to be the original Jaoobs the individual who has approached nearest to the pole, and the legiti mate successor of Dr. Kane. Dr. Hayes is backed up by testimonials from various in fiuential persons and various learned socio ties, who recommend him as the "properest" man to conduct an Arctio exploring expedi tion, and he has managed so well that he has apparently very nearly succeeded in upsetting the arrangements of Captain nail. It is worth while for Congress to stop and inquire, however, before granting any money 1 to either of these gentlemen; what la to bo gained by further exploration in the Arctio regions that will warrant the expense. A number of interesting and valuable scientific facts have been discovored by the Arctic ex plorers, but it is exceedingly doubtful whether anything yet remains unknown that will be of any practical value to the human raoe. It is doubtful whether the Northwest Passage can ever be used for pur poses of navigation, and although every body has more or less curiosity on the sub ject of the Open Tolar Sea, none of the in. terests of the human race will suffer if the secret remains for a few years longer unre voked. We do not for a moment propose to set up mere utilitarianism as the mea sure of sclontiflo inquiry, but Con gross is bound to consider the important fact that the Government is deeply in debt, that the people are burdened with taxes, and that the strictest eoonoray in the expenditure of the publio money is what is now demanded of the representatives of the people. The experiences of past explorations of the Arctio regions do not furnish any in ducements for us to hope that there is any thing more to be found out that will warrant an appropriation to either Captain Hall or Dr. Hayes at the present time. If our finances were on a sufficiently satisfactory basis it might be well to grant money for such a pur pose as this, but there are a great many scientific subjects that are much more de serving of attention just now, if the Govern ment must spend money for such objects, than the Arctic regions. It is to be hoped, therefore, that Congress will hesitate a long time before it concludes to start either of the explorers named upon a new voyage of dis covery. Thb Cabinet Cr rata in Francs appears to have been titled over, for the present at least, M. Emtle Alexia Segrls becoming Minister ot Finance in place of M. Buffet, whose resignation was announced a few days ago. M. Segrls Is about flftj-eight years of age, and has had a large and varied experience In public life. 11 o entered upon his political caroer in lt&9, In which year he was elected a member of the Corps Leglslatlf from the First Circumscription of Walne-et-Lolre, in the Government Interest, being re-elected In 1863 and again In 1869. In January last he entered M. Ollvter's Cabinet as Minister of Public Instruction, retaining that position until his transfer to the Department of Finance. M. Segris Is a lawyer by profession, and an officer of the Legion of Honor. II. Maurice Richard, who succeeds M. Segrls as Minister of robllc Instruction, Is also a lawyer by profession, and a man of considerable experience In public airalrs. In 1S03 he was elected a member of the Corps Leglslatlf from the Fourth Circum scription of Selne-et-Olse, the Government candi date having a majority on the first ballot, but fall ing Into the minority on the second and definite trial. M. Klcliard was re-elected in 1859, and in January last entered M. Olllvler's Cabinet as Minis ter or t ine Arts, or wnicn department ne remains in charge, in addition to that of Public Instruction, until his successor to the former is appointed. An English paper says: Authors of all nations will, or at all events ought to, be glad to hear that Russia Is about to conclude an interaatlenal copy right treaty with Prussia. After England, no eoun try in Europe publishes so many magazines ami reviews as Russia, and the contents of at least half these periodicals are translated from the French, the German, but, above all, from the Engllah. Many an English author who still fancies Russia to be a semi-barbarous country would alter his opinion if ho knew (what must often be the case) that be has as many readers in Russia as in England itself. Ilithert Russia, like America, to which it presents so many negative points of resemblance, has recog nized no rights on the parts of foreign author; and, certainly, In any literary dealings that might take place between Russia and the west of Europe under the International Copyright acts, the balance of exchange would bo against Rnggia. On the other nana, it is oovious mat Russian autnors must suner by having to compete in their mnguzines and re views wun the great authors of France, Germany, and KiKland, whose works cost the publishers merely the price of translation. W'b cannot help feeling a good deal of pity for royal princes on their progresses at home and abroad. 1 he Terentlan maxim, "Homo sum," etc., often seems to be pushed a little too far in their case, and we are not surprised that the Duke of Edinburgh should have good-hnmoredly kicked against its adoption under the burning Bun of India. The story goes that his Royal Highness, on arriving at Agra, inquired whether the city had a lunatic asylum. On being informed that no such Institution was necessary in the place, he devoutly thanked Heaven, observing that wherever there was one they invariably took him there, aud he always found toe word ''Welcome'' ia large letters over the entrance.
