The Govornment and Lopez.

We are surprised TO notice that several Of the
opposition journals either openly covertly assai
the Government for having arrested Lopez. A
correspondent at Washington even insinuatcs that
the subject will be brought before Congress, in the
hope of creating a popular excitement, and thus
breaking down the Administration. Party rancor
has indeed risen TO madness when such conduct is
proposed, much Ices approved. In executing the
law Of 1918, against the conspirators engaged in
the Cuban invasion, our Government merely per
forms its duties; and the President would be rccre
ant TO his oath Of Office il he did not act exactly
he has acted. The expedition Of Lopez sailed with
out the authority Of any nation people, and was,
therefore, piratcal one, in respect better than
those Of the buccaneers and, in many particulars,
worse. Instead Of being summoned by the inhabi.
tants OF Cuba, II now appears that the Cubans had
not asked its aid. There is but course for our
Government to pursue. As nation il is bound to
fulfil its treaty obligations and to do TO other pow
ers 'as IL would be done unto"

Thomas Carlyle.

''Stump Orators" from the pen Of this extrava-
CANT writer is thus reviewed in the London Econo-
mist:
"Few men with an articulate voice have Of late
written more with less understanding than Mr..
Carlyle. Sensible of that, apparently, he devotes
his fifth number Of his Latter Day Pamphlets to
condemning all speech. He is enamored Of silence.
He has a suggestion 'to cut from one generation
all the tongues away, prohibiting literature, too,
and appoint at least generation TO pass is life
in silence Mr. Carlyle secs that thought is not
fact, that speech is not thought that by fact Ma
ture's fact or the Thought Of the Eternal, all
duct must be guided; that thought being depar-
turc from fact, and speech a divergence from
thought, there ensues betwiSt speech and Natures
fact terrible divergence, a wide contradiction
which would be lcssened or disappear by silence.
He seems inclined TO revive Woaston's doctrine,
that lie s the essence OF crime, or that crime Is lie
Mr.. Carlyle exaggeratcs the evil False speech is
continually corrected by facts. The balancing OF
Natures debtor and creditor account is not put
off till doomsday; she reckons with us from hour
TO hour and day to day. Her facts are always
there; her rule Is never suspended; and her rcck
oning always paid. Talk is not 30 influential
either for good evil Mr.. Carlyle represents IL,
though il serves much at present in every walk Of
life 70 divert attention from facts, while the habit
all form, particularly imaginative writer's, Of
dvorcing words from thoughts and thoughts from
facts is undoubtedly pcrncious. Mr.. Carlyle inn
presses his readers the important truth, that all
talk, whether in parliament or out OF parliament,
cannot alter facts alter the debtor and creditor
account of Nature and by discountenancing the
belief that il can, he docs good service; but this
view is driven into cxaggeration, and his thought
and his talk become unlike the TACT as the talk
of the different classes he condemns. Speech, who
Their written spoken, can at best be only the ex
preston more or less correct Of each individuals
thought, and can no more influence nor alter the
course Of Nature than any other OF the many mil
lions of her productions Babble is one Of the
means by which we may be temporarily blinded TO
facts, but they exert their dominion, and re-
mind us in thousand ways that they cannot be
neglected. Mr.. Carlyle's present work may be
shortly described showing that what we usually
call the wisdom of the wise IL, compared TO Nature,
like all the acts Of fsllible men, only fooshness"

LIEUTENANT MAuRy, U. S. N-The Providence
Journal pays the following tribute 10 this able and
accomplished officer:
eve doubt IL any Of the officers Of the army or
navy contributing more 10 the real glory OF the
country than Lieutenant Maury, who has charge
Of the National Observatory at Washington. The
series OF extensive observations which he has insi-
tuted and in which he has been aided by many
seamen, has resulted in the recognition of impor-
tant laws touching the of the winds and the
ocean currents, and he has been able to designate
the routes by which vessels may navigate from
point to point in the shortest time, and with the
greatest safety
'In communication published in the Republic,
Lieutenant Maury shows that the route TO the Equa-
tor designated on his charts, gives average gain
of week to ten days, and the voyage 70 California
gain Of fortnight. This is shown by the passage
of eighty eight vessels by the new route and sew
enty. three by the old.
What rebuke docs this administer TO those who
accustomed to sneer at all scientific investiga
ton, and 10 ridicule abstract studies as having
relation 10 actual life.
