The paraguayan War.

The stubborn resistance Paraguay has
made to the attacks of her enemies has at
length gained her some positive advan
tages. We have two weeks later news
from the Plata river than have befole
been reported, and our advices are as late
as July 10th. The discontents in the al.
lied camp and in Brazil and the Argen
tine Confederation, were becoming great
er and greater, and had been increased
by the withdrawal Of the entire allied ma
val squadron from the contest. The rig.
ors of the South American writer were
beginning TO be felt and the ships had all
been put into winter quarters. This was.
however, not the only advantage gained
by the Paraguayaus, for, by judicious
movements, they had surrounded the ad.
vance of the allied army, in a swamp,
south Of the Plata river, who were cut off
by that and other streams from the main
body. Not long ago, the allied leader.
contemplated an immediate siege of For.
tress Humaita, the Paraguayan strongs
hold, in order by its capture to speedily
end the war, but now the tables are COM
pletely turned. The allied forces arc
surrounded, disheartened and sickly, and
at any moment may receive a blow which
will drive them, defeated, back across the
Plata river. The Paragraphs, on the
contrary, are in high spirits, and antici
pate an early peace, secured by their stub.
born and successful resistance. The con.
dition Of Brazilian and Argentine fuan
ces is said to be SO desperate that this
alone must force a peace, caused by actu-
al inability longer to pay the expense of
the war.

How Republican Talks.

We had a conversation, yesterday, with
q quiet thinking Republican, a citizen Of
substance and ~inluence. but no politician,
who expressed himself freely on the state
of parties, and the course he himself in
tended to pursue at the approaching cleo.
ton. He said he did not mean to vote at
all and, added he, there are thousands of
Republicans like myself. 81 can not"
he continued, "vote for the Democratic
party. never did ; and it may be moth.
ing but old prejudice that restraints me
now. But so il is. I can not conscien,
tiously vote for my own party, for sit has
behaved badly. The extravaganza and
profiigacy Of Congress in general, and
"tbe votingto itself increased salaries and
back pay, in particular, at a time when
we are weighed down by taxes and pnb-
lie burdens, disgust me. The extreme
Radicalism Of our leaders alarms me for
the future. By my absence from the
polls, | intend a quiet consure of my
party leaders, in Congress and out. As
for your party, it will succeed, not 50
much by accessions from our side as by
absence from the polls of persons like
myself. Our absence, then, while it will
be a quiet rebuke to our party leaders
will, at the same time, be a warning to
yours. 1t will warn you to avoid ex-
tremes, to practice economy in public ex-
%penditures, and labor moro for the COM
mon good than for party success, for
you will have constantly before you the
assurance that the stay.at. home vote can
at any future election, turn you OUT

we concluded to give them publicly

How They Did 1t.

The manner in which the members of
the Rump Congress voted to increase their
salaries $4,000 a year was characteristic in
its dishonesty and trickery. They put
the measure, with the soldiers bounty
bill, into one law, so that the popularity
Of the soldiers bill would carry them
along. Many members, who were doubt
less privy to the trick, then professed that
they were opposed to the increase of the
Congressional salaries, but voted fer it
in order not to,.defeat the soldier bounty
bill, which would be imperiled if they did.
They imagined they were throwing
dust in The eyes of ~the,pcople by this per,
Torrance, but it was only the ostrich
sticking his head in the sard, leaving the
rest Of his person exposed. The. voting
Of the increased salaries to themselves
would, under the circumstances of the
the country, be little better than a public
robbery 4; but the manner which it was
done superadds swindling and fraud, and
renders the transaction in every respect
infinitely blacker in moral turpitude.
