Illinois has the honor of being the first State
to ratify the Constitutional Amendments. Both
branches of her Legislature did it on the list
inst.-the Democrats making no fight against
it, and some Of them voting for it.
Rhode Island followed yesterday. As the
vote in Assembly stood GO to a, majority OF
the Democrats must have favored it. The As

A mariner of the house of III. Il. Claim * Co.
assures us that the brief report OF the case oil
Max Winternitz, in The TRIBUNE OF WedneS-
day. and the comments based thereon IN yester-
days paper, are calculated to convey false
impression of the facts involved and OF their
method of doing business. Their transactions
with Winternitz covered several months in time,
and various purchases made and settled Tor at
different periods This man came to them with
the most substantial and trustworthy recon-
mcndations, and il was only until after other care
full and satisfactory inquiries that they admitted
him to any confidence. The sum out oil which
he finally attempted to swindle them was not
the result of single transaction, but balance
of account outstanding in the usual course OF
trade. They exercised, in this case, the caution
which they always use in regard to Their
customers. and were satisfied, till recently,
that Winternitzs method of doing business
and his general character entitled him to the
credit which they gave him. Our remarks
yesterday were aimed at system which seems
TO us wrong, but, of course, were not intended
as personal reflection upon the emnently re-
spectacle house in question. The facility with
which unknown men from distance, and, with
out capital, can procure credit among our
merchants, is unquestionably mischieyous, and
ought to be amended; but MesSrs. Clailin u
Co.. we believe, have earned reputation which
places them beyond any just suspicion OF care
lessness in this respect, and of that reputation
they are, very properly, careful.

THE NEW WAR I'M SOUTH AMEn.

The civil war which for two years has been
desolating the little republic of Uruguay has,
during tho last months of the year 1861, as
sumed much larger dimensions. The rebel
chief. Gen. Flores. has succeeded in enlsting
the sympathy of the Government OF Brazil,
which early in 1864 began to concentrate troops
on the frontier of Uruguay. On August a,
Brazil presented to the Government OF Uruguay
an ultimatum, claiming redress OF grievances,
which no one outside Of Brazil has ever
been able to understand, and demanding
reply within six days. On October H.
the commander of the Brazilian feet in circu'
lar dispatch addressed to diplomatic agents re-
siding in MontevideO, announced his intention
to search all the vessels Of foreign powers 10
prevent the landing of contraband of war. This
measure called forth joint protest from the
ministers of England, France, Italy, SPAN ana
Portugal, as Brazil had not yet formally de-
clarcd war against Uruguay, and, in particular
had not notified the foreign powers of the block
ade of the ports of Uruguay.
The conduct of Brazil, which is utterly IRE
conciabe with the commonest principles OF IN
ternational law, produced in the adjacent states
the universal belief that it was her intention TO
annex Uruguay. In such scheme the State
of Paraguay and the upper provinces OF the Ar
gentine Republic are deeply concerned, as the
possession of the mouth of the Uruguay
River would make their trade to large
extent dependent upon the Brazilian govern
ment.
The President of Paraguay, consequently, on
August 30, issued an earnest protest against the
threats uttered by Brazil against Uruguay, and
clearly indicated his determination to oppose
the annexation of Uruguay by force OF arms.
The last mail from Europe brings news that
the President of Paraguay, in consideration that
Brazil persisted in her policy and has marched
troops into the territory Of Uruguay, has de-
clared war against Brazil. The excitement IN
the provinces Corrientes and Entire Rios, OF the
Argentine Republic is SO great that 1t Is ex-
pected that they will support Paraguay even
if the Central Government Of the Confederation
should remain on intimate terms with Brazil.
Paraguay has ever since the establishment oil
her independence, so isolated herself from
the other States of South America that bu'
little is known about her abroad. The State Is,
however, generally supposed to be in pros
porous condition, and is amply able to tax the
entire strength of Brazil. Hitherto Paraguay
has had no representation at the South Amer
lean Congress, which is now in session at Lana
but the progress of war can hardly fail to eStaO
| lsh closer connection between her and her Sis
ter republics of South America.

The statement in another column, by our
correspondent, Mr. A. ID. Richardson, who has
recently escaped from Salisbury, N. c., need
not be commended TO the attention Of our
readers. The long experience of Mr. Richard
son in these Southern places OF torment, ms
powers of observation, his facility Of descrip-
ton, and his high character as truthful and
candid man, render his testimony peculiarly
valuable. No one can read it and not believe
that the terrible suffering inflicted by the Rebels
upon the thousands who have died, or are nov
lingering in Southern prisons, has been aggra-
waited by cruel and needless neglect on the
part Of some of the officials Of our own Govern
ment. There must be a remedy found some
