SOLDIERS CONVENTION AT CLEVELAND "a
large number OF the prominent generals in the
Un.on army have issued an address to their
fellow soldiers, endorsing the action Of the late
Convention in Philadelphia and calling upon
all their comrades who approve the platform
adopted by that Convention 10 assemble at
Cleveland, Ohio, on the 18th day Of September
They very appropriately announce in this
address that, eater FIVE years Of fierce and
destructive war, Ia which our arms were glori-
ously triumphant, the Union for which they
fought il still practically unrestored." This Is
shown TO be the work of the party now In
power Ia Congress, which il trying to divert
the results OF tho war from their appropriate
channel and turn the victories Of our soldiers
TO Its own personal advancement, against
the interests OF the country. The address ably
reviews the present political condition OF the
country, and comes 10 the conclusion that the
only safety Is In the overthrow Of the revolu-
tionary party now holding sway In Congress.
They tell their fellow soldiers that, II "men
who have taught and practised treason now
openly renouncc their errors and maintain with
n the principles Of our government, we shall
not reject their cooperation when the restore
ton Of the Union and the preservation OF our
form Of government are In the issue. We must

THE FRsr SPECIAL News DESPATCH BY THE
CAmE.--The Tribune claims the first special
news despatch through the Atlantic cable.
Unfortunately for this claim IL is upset BY the
Facts as between the HERALD and the 7ribuae.
The Grst HEEAID special despatch from our
agent in London through thc cable was the
following:--

Qrryys Horst, 10 nos, July ~, Isee.
An armlstcc Of four weeks from yesterday has hecs
signed b. Prussia, Austria, Bavaria and the other Geo
THO propositions orobrsce q lasting pence over tho
whole Contincnt Of Europe.
Tbs despatch, received at a late hour oC
Monday night, was published in the HERALD on
Tuesday morning. July 81. II was sent round
from this office TO tbs Associated Press ~ soon
as possible after its reception, bu, only sp-
pearcd Ia one other journal than ours on
Tue:day morning, and tina, journal vas tho
Tribune.
Tie first special despatch through The cable
10 the Tribune was az follows:--

This was published in the Tribune, HERALD

cation Of our special despatch. This, we think,
ses,les the question.

TBE MORALITY or OuR PoiI0s SvSTEs--1Le
recent developments in the police and dctec-
tive system, while they have not resulted in
fixing any guilt upon the captain Of the deiefs
tive force in the particular case just sdjndi-
Gated by The Police Commissioners, upon the
testimony which they chose to receive, only
remind os OF tho faci that for many yeais the
grossest corruption has been practised under
The cloak Of police protection. The acqnittal
oeU,Rtaia Young upon a charge Of completely
in The recent watch case, reported In our
columns yesterday, on his absence from the
city being proved, by no means shows that the
whole police system Is not rotten. On the
contrary, there has been enough already made
public, and doubtless there is plenty more
an impartial tribunal, 70 prove that the police
and the thieves are, an a general rule, in
concert for the plumber Of the public.
The fact Is that the police arc but imiialors
OF the politicians, Of whom they arc for the
most part appoinlces and creatures There is
no morality in politics, no restraining influence
Of principlc. From the high 10 the low all our
politicians are directed simply by a passion
for plunder, and the police only follow
the example Of the Common Council and
the city officials in their hunt after spoils. IL
ia notorious that many public functionarics re-
ceive pensions out of the Treasury probably 70
the amount in the aggregate Of 100000
q year, distributed In various sums, for their
influence in getting certain contracts awarded.
In the Street Department such instances may be
found, and In the new gas eontrsct-the most
infamous Of all recent municipal legislation
il would no doubt take pretty heavy sum 70
cover the appropriations OF this Kind. Public
morality, from the Corporation Of New York

very low standard. Corruption permestes

FANTASTIC CoSDUT or GOVERNOR VIZ
AoAM-we learn from our Fortress Monroe
correspondence that Henry A. Wise hassrs-
sumed his old rSIe Of political mountebank.
Neither the horrors Of war nor the desolatio0 %
his country can cure him Of bis mania for agi-
tation and eccentricity. He states that he has
not only not obtained pardon and the restor-
alton Of his property from tho President but
that he would spurn the offer Of pardon with
contempt As might have been expected iron
sroh crazy fre-eat@r, he denounced the Phila-
delphia Convention too. He and few saeh
impracticable fanatics Of the South, with Th.a
Stevens and the other niggef-worshipping radi-
Gals Of The North brought on the war, and n
they were allowed to have their way, we shorA
soon have another. Fortunately there are very
few men In the South nov 90 ridiculous aaa
impracticable q Wise. The people Of he
South have learned wisdom; he never win
learn. What few such agitatofs there are cen
do no harm In that section. We need noa
trouble ourselves about them. The arebrand
radicals Of the North now claim attention The
Southern destructives and disunionists are
cffectnally put down. It remains for the pe0-
pie now TO put down the same class Of men -
the North.

The War In Parnguay-FaiIurc OF the Opcrn.
tions OF the Allies Against Hnmnita.
The war which has been carried on by the
allied Powers Of Brazil, Uruguay and the
Argentine Confederation against the Para
guayans, under the Dictator Lopez, and which
has been characterized by most important
and sanguinary struggles, promises an early
termination. Lopez, after successfully invading
Uruguay and the Confederation, was forced
back, by the superior numbers of the allied
Powers, upon his own territory. 1t appears
that before advancing Lopez had chosen and
for flied, near the junction Of the rivers Para
quay and Parana, which form tho southern
boundary of his territory,a position Of great
natural strength, and 70 this he retired on the
advance of the allies. The rivers Parana and
Paraguay form the best and probably the
only practical line Tor advance against the
capital of Paraguay, and the defensive
position Of Lopez fully commands these
streams. Forts Humaita and Curupait, which
efsctually command the Paraguay river. and
beyond which the allied feet have not yet been
able to pass, are protected in the rear from
land approach by immense marshes or lagoons,
not unlike but more formidable and difficult
than those into which Mcclellan got his army
on the Chickahominy. Into these inierminable
and stagnant marshes General Mltre some
months since marched his large army and has
been unable to gel any further. Lopez made
stand at Humaita and Curupaih and has
several times given battle, the last of which,
fought on the gath Of May, was Of very bloody
but indecisive character. Meantime the mala-
ria of the marshes has carried OF the men and
animals Of the allied army by thousands, until,
as is this morning announced, the operations Of
tho allies have proved a failure. We are not,
however, prepared for the statement also made,
that Lopez had surrounded the allies and was
about to deal destruction TO them; for it is not
at all probable that the Dictator will risk
assuming the offensive when delay and disease
are accomplishing all that he could hope to
accomplish by mere energetic efforts. The
worst enemy of the allies, however, is in their
rear. The people, instead Of voluntarily sup
porting the war, are clnmoring for peace; ma
terid and men are refused the allied CON-
mander; tho banks Of Rio Janeiro and Buenos
Ayres have become Involved and are unable
TO relieve tho money pressure existing; busi-
ness is stagnant, and the currency with which
the war Is being prosecuted by the allies Is
quoted in Buenos Ayres at twenty-six dollars
for one In gold. Tho abandonment Of further
offensive operations by the allies will doubtless
be forced upon them by this state Of poll cal
and financial affairs and thu military situation,
and We may soon hear Of the Inauguration Of
negotiations tor peace.
