RIJENOS AYRGS.

We have lately received ON our correspondent
? e OF Buenos Ayrcs newspapers, which are al
most exclusively occupied with matter relating to
the rejected treaty.
Since the disavowal of the treaty formed with
Brazil by Garciain absolute con radictIon to his
ia, lructons, this Republic has been in a state ul the
greatest excitement and confusion. The President.
RvlDAviA, resigned his office in letter. expressive
of his belief that the best interests of his country
qured the appointment of successor who might
administer 'he government with less opposition from
personal enemies. His resignation was accepted by
Congress Justice being rendered to the motives
which dictated the sacrifice on his part. According
" D. Vicente Lopez was appointed. by majority
Of 81 votes over several candidates. provisional
President of Buenns Ayres. This honor involving
in it so many artluous duties, respectfully de
clined but on the following day, a5r the reslgna-
on was read, Congress proceeded to new election.
when it appeared that the result was the same and
the fact being announced to Lopez, he accepted the
Presidency until the reunion of the National Con-
vention. and the pacilicaton of the Provinces Al
ter receiving the oath of Office, the President appon
ted D Julian $. ID. Aguero, Minister Of Govern
ment and Landed Property Gen. Thomas Guido.
Minister Of war: d. Manual Dorego. Minister of
Marine and and foreign Relations These gentle
men have since resigned the situations to which they
were named. Brlsadier General i.avalleja is APP
oned General in Chief of the Republican Army.
Great anxiety is expressed to turn the tide OF emf
grafton from other countries towards Buenos Ayres
to fill the void in their population. 1t is stated that,
with all their efforts and appropriations OF money,
agricultural implements, merIn0 sheep &C. they have
only obtained an increase of 1917 individuals in two
years, while in New York, whose climate and fer
tility cannot compare with theirs. there was an
accession of 2l5O foreigners in one week OF the
year 1918. This difference they attributed to the
spectacle of orer tranquility, andsyood faith, which
our country presents to all nations.
The following are the concluding articles unanlm-
ously adopted by Congress in July: -.
Article ,2ih. The President will employ all his
efforts in the manner which his prudence may sug,
gest to put an end to civil war; for which purpose all
necessary means will be authorized.
Article 18th. The great object of national war,
and the adoption of the most eliicacons and enege-
ic means to carry it into effect is particularly re-
commended TO the new President, in order that all
the People may concur in such manner as the ho-
or of the Republic inperousy demands

At this period OF the autumn. we may safely con-
gratulae our readers ON one of the most healthy
seasons that have occurred here for a long time.
Both town and country, we have mentioned, here
toiore, have been comparatively exempt from the
scourge of autumnal diseases incidental to the ct,-
mate. In town, more especially, the bill of morta|i-
t. has shrunk far within its usual limits. At the same
time. the harvests have been abundant. and vegeta-
ti,D generally uxurant.-a circumstance usually
deemed unlriendy to salubriousness. The sun now
shines with tempered ray. the morning breeze has
already the freshness of October, and man can

On this subject, the New York American re-
Marks "On Wednesday we ventured to pro-
nouuce this story to be false, both from its in
trinsic improbaoty. and from the high character it
was intended to implcate."
As to the two nelnbers ufCongrcss, whose names
are left as vouchers for the truth of the story told by
the Palladium, we cannot say that passes for much
Wuh us. We know more than two members OF
Consress, whose testimony upon any pnnt connect

would not weigh with us feather !; for NJ. G. writ
ten AFTER a name can no more confer responsibility
of character. or discrimination of mind, than de-
gree Of l.. d. confer legal learning
We are now enabled To state upon the highest az
fhority, that this story, by whunsoever told, or by
whomsoever vouched for, is utterly untrue. and cith
cut shadotc Of foundation. 10 the base natures
tat have inven,ed and circulated this foul lie, we
leave the task Of vindcating themselves before the
public.
