THE NEWS.

We have advices from South Ameri-
ca, dated at Buenos Ayrcs on the 9th
of Suly, nine days later than the news
received by way Of England. The pa
pers contain some interesting items as
to the progress of affairs in Paraguay
and Montevideo. In Buenos Ayres
the ministerial crisis was ended by the
acceptance CT the portfolio OF foreign
affairs by Colonel Mitre. The late ar
rangemcnts for the liquidation of rho
English loan were looked on with
much satisfaction, and the most happy
social results were argued in conse-
quence. Six per cent bonds to the
amount of twelve millions of dollars
were to be Immediately issued by the
government. The Spanish residents
of Buenos Ayres celebrated the event
of the birth Of the Prince of The Astu-
rias with great pomp.
Paraguay is represented 40 making
the most rapid progress financially,
socially and politically, which it was
said nothing can retard except a war
with the United States. President
Lopez had sent sixteen young men to
Europe for the purpose Of becoming
educated in shipbuilding and engineer
ing. The treasury was overfiowing.
Three steamer had been launched and
two more placed on the stocks. Rail-
way extension was also aided by Pres
ident Lopez. An uneasy feeling exis-
ted in Montevideo regarding the issue
ofthe present diplomatic misunderstood
ding with England.
We have accounts from Mayaguez,
Porto Rico, to the slst ult. The island
was remarkably healthy for the season.
A company had been formed at St.
Johns to run the French steamer
Monte Cristo as packet round the
island, and her arrival on her first trip
was daily looked for at Mayaguez.
There was little or nothing doing in
the sugar market for want of produce
to operate in, there remaining but 100
hogcheads to conclude the crop.

1t will be seen that the average expendi-
lures under Democratic rule was only lit
tie over forty fce thousand per annmna, while
under Republican government it amount
ed to nearly tpo hundred thousand.
We ask every voter and every tax
payer in the State to look upon the
two pictures. What think the people
OF this in these hard times when bust
ness has stagnated-when the crops
have failed, when the rates of money
rule high, when the greatest exertions
are necessary to meet interest and ex-
penses and when every one fells the
necessity Of economy Are the pco-
pie willing to submit to an expenditure
in the coming year Of two hundred
and sixty-one thosaund seven hundred
and SIX dollars and forty-five cents ae-
e0ra'ng to the estimate of the republican
auditor!
Will the peoplele learn wisdom and re-
turn, with Democratic Administra-
