The Paraguay Expedition.

NEW loak, Feb. 27.- BnenOs Ayres dates of
OF January 4th have been received. Commissioner
Bowlin and the Commodore of the United States
squadron had gone to have an interview with
President Lopez, with the brigs Dolphin and Perry,
which would be taken in tow at the forks of the
river by the steamers Fulton and Water Witch.
The rest of the fleet remained at Montevideo.
Paraguayan steamer had gone up with a chain
to place across the river. French and an English
steamer had also gone up the river. 1t is supposed
the latter will demand indemnity in the case of
British schooner recently seized.
II is said that President Lopez has an hundred
thousand men under arms. The opinion was our
squadron was inadequate, because only few of the
vessels were capable of ascending the river.

Special Despatch.l

The Railroad Convention Mt New York.
NEW YORK, Sunday, Feb. 27th.-The Railroad
Convention which met at the St. Nicholas Hotel in
this city, adjourned on Friday last but most of the
members remained over until yesterday. 1t became
apparent to the Presidents of the four lines that if
the compact was annulled competition would at
once reduce the existing rates from thirty to fifty
per cent. The fear of this serious irroad upon the
net profits OF the roads induced all parties to over
look the past and to resolve to sustain the original
agreement. Another powerful motive for sustain.
Ing the agreement was understood to be the fact
that the Baltimore and Ohio and PENNSYLVANIA Cen
trail Roads were under the necessity of claiming a
portion of the through business, in order to main
tam full revenue and to accommodate their way
trafiic, at reasonable charges. 1t was urged that
unless the rival lines shared in the through traf-
nc between common points at the rates now pre-
vailing, the way business would have to be
taxed heavily to sustain their roads.
Besides the charges brought against the Penn
sylvania road of underwriting at Terre Haute,
and at interior points, it is alleged that shipment
OF whole cargo of coffee secured to that line
from Baltimore by bonus of five baskets of green
seal champagne. The President of the Erie road
again attacked the policy of the Baltimore and Ohio
road with respect to its reduced tariff of rates for
groceries and other heavy freights from the At
antic ports to the west. Mr.. Garrett insisted upon
retaining this classification which had been sane
toned by this Board and met with the approval of
the heavy coffee sugar and other interests of Bal
tlmore. The differences in favor of the Baltimore
rates were conceded by the Convention but
changes were made in the rates between New York
and Boston. A careful general revision of the rates
was also made but no serious changes were intro
duced. Before adjourning it was agreed that
meeting should be held at Buffalo on the 10th of
West,

The malady is attributable to ergot in the grass

attributable to that cause. The Encyclopedia de-

Ergot is an elongated, cylindrical excresence, a
little curved, and somewhat resembling a horn,
which sometimes takes the place of grain in several
cultivated grasses, particularly in rye, which, when
in this state, is commonly called spurred rye.

THE TARIFF AND PRoPosED REISSUE OF
TREASURY NorEs.-The Washington Star of Satur-
day says: So far, we reason whatever to be-
lieve that Congress will consummate ANYTHING for
the relief of the Treasury ere the session termi-
mates. The vote of the House yesterday on mo-
ton to suspend the rules to allow the introduction
0t m proposition to revive the operation of the
Tariff of 1916 for the time being showed that it
will probably prove as impossible to carry that
measure, as to carry the Morrill, bill. The mean
ing OF all this is, that the House continues at "sxes
and sevens" upon the subject of relieving the ne
cessites of the Treasury being split up into three
If not four, impractcabe parties upon it, neither
of whom will yield sufficient to render it probable
that majority vote can be obtained for any thing
connected with the subject. How an extra session
of Congress is 20 be avoided in this state of things
is past to divine.
In twenty years past we have frequently seen
the House in some such snarl upon measures of i'm
portance but never before when the means of ex-
Treating themselves from their dilemma were so
hopeless.
