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.
