EUROPEAN SCHEMES IN SOUTH AaERIcA.-We
had occasion some time ago to refer to certain
movements in the South American States as
European Powers to sap the foundations Of
republican principle and obtain a foothold
for the monarcbical system of government In
the empire Of Brazil was found q fulcrum
whereon to plant the lever that was to over
turn republican sovereignty in the adjoining
States and invade the rights claimed by this
government in the Monroe doctrine. Our
representations in this direction find some
thing like verifcation in the recently discov-
cred triple alliance between Brazil Uruguay
and the Argentine republic for the extinction
of the present government of Paraguay, with
which these nations are at war.
We are strengthened in our opinion by the
of Paraguay, embracing within its limits the
navigation of three important rivers, was set on
foot about the same time that Spain commenced
the war with the South American States on the
Pacific coast, showing, as ii were, deliberate
and premeditated hostility against the form Of
government which prevails in those countries
In view of the regard which we have for the
Monroe doctrine of non-inteference by foreign
Powers with the affairs of the American conti-
nent-and the principles Of that doctrine en-
brace South as well as North America--it
behooves our government to make speedy in-
vestigation into the facts of this mysterious
alliance, concocted by INC i.>roriaI government
! of Brazil and easily acquesced in from motives
OF territorial aggrandizement and personal ven
geance upon hostile neighbor, by the adjoin-
ing States :, the Argentine Confederation and
| Urugus,. The intervention Of our govern
me.c should be prompt, positive and decisive
N behalf Of the integrity Of republican prin-
ciples on the South American continent No
namby-pamby policy like that pursued by Mr..
Seward in the case Of Valparaiso will do. n
this secret treaty to crush out the government
OF Paraguay be the emanation of European
diplomacy, in concert with tho Brazilian EN-
pire, as an entering wedge for the monarchical
system, ii demands the earnest investigation Of
the State Department, and we call attention to
the circumstances al this early period in the
expectation that they will receive prompt
attention.

BURNING OLA CELEBRATED FAMILY MAN.
sIoN.-On Saturday night last the large and
commodious mansion on the woodward
estate of the late Richard West, Esq, a
few miles from Marlboro, Nd, was entirely
consumed by fire, and was not insured.
The Marlboro Gazette says:
"This house was probably one of the old
est in this part of Maryland, erected about
the year 1860 by one of the Darnalls, OF
London, who, we are told by the historian,
George Lynn-Lachlan Davis, Esq, in his
'Day-star of American Freedom arrived
in this country about twenty years before
the Protestant Revolution, and was kins-
man of Lord Baltimore. He left many de-
scendants, and his tombstone is at the
woodward, now (as it has been for several
generations) in the possession of the Vests,
and the most interesting family seat have
yet seen in Maryland"
The building was finished in primitive
and elaborate style of architecture, of ma
terial imported from England. The walls
are said to be of great thickness, and con-
tain brick enough to build half dozen
ordinary sized tenements. The many
highly priced and valuable relics-the
accumulation Of the family for upwards OF
hundred years-were all swept away In
few hours. A cabinet of minerals and a
great number of curiosities, with valuable
plate, furniture, money, and wardrobes, all
shared the same fate--only few beds and
chairs being saved,

The Difference.

The bill making appropriations for the
Freedmen's Bureau, just passed the House
of Representatives, devotes more than
eleven millions of dollars to that Object-a
sum within two millions of dollars Of the
whole expenses Of the Government under
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS. AT that time the
population Of the United States amounted
to within a fraction Of thirteen millions.
Now we have for the government "and
protection (what stuff!) of four millions
of negroes sum very nearly equal to that
discussed for the government of thirteen
millions Of ,chite people! Near $4,000, 900
goes in salaries to officers and teachers.
Not one cent of this large appropriation is
needed for the preservation of peace and
security to either white or black. Both
would be infinitely better of, infinitely
more contented, if no such appropriation
were to be made.

GENERAL JOHNSTON AND THE NATIONAL
ExPREss.-The Charleston Ne,rS learns
from good authority that "the friends OF
the company may be assured that this dis
tinguished officer continues to feel that
profound interest in the company which
induced his original acceptance Of the
Presidency. Should he at any future
time accept any post more congenial to
his tastes and requirements, it may be re-
gardcd as an evidence that the organiza-
tion is in such successful operation that
his name and abilities are no longer ne
cessary to its support. The reports con-
Meeting his name with the presidency OF
several railroads are premature, so far as
his present intentions are concerned"

Mr.. STANsBERRY.-FoRSEY's Chronicle
quotes the short article commendatOry OF
this gentleman which appeared in our edi-
torial columns some days ago, and adds
that "the necessity of legislation for the
reorganization of the Supreme Court of
the United States has long been recog-
nized." FORNEY of course means to pre-
vent the confirmation of Mr.. STANsBERRY's
nomination as an Associate Justice by in
ducing Congress to believe that he is IA
voritc of the Dispatch and of the "rebels''
generally. If it will appease the wrath OF
SUMNER and WADE, we will inform them
that we really don't care button whether
this nomination is confirmed or not. II
they defeat Mr.. STANsBERRY, he is able to
give them back more than blow for blow,
whereas, in the contrary contingency, they
may silence him.

tho 9th ultimo, tho question, "What

up, it was at first decided to call It simply

however, upon + Reconsideration of the

peatedly recommended by the Episcopal

graduate the Church on the good taste

The Constitntiom

The New York World makes a striking
quotation from WAsHINGToN's letters adj.
vocating the adoption Of that Constitution
which the Radicals are now seeking to
modify until all that is good Of it is gone
or 50 completely negatiyed as to be in
operative. WASHINGTON said: "The pro.
opposed Constitution is the last one the
!" States win ever have the opportunity O
accepting through peace; future ones
" will have to be obtained through blood
We have seen how true, down to our day
was this prophecy. The attempt 70 bring
the Constitution into contempt-indeed, 70
destroy it, ss the World justly says-was
made long before the secession Of South
Carolina. It was that attempt which
brought about the Southern reaction and
the war.

Immediately distributed" says the ac-
count. AS the slave trade to the New
England ports ceased in 1908, and slavery
itself was wound up in this country last
year, there is really no theatre of opera

Why don't they go to Cuba and look after
and put an end to the brutal trade which
their ancestors followed two or three gene
rations ago!

The Baltimore american is indignant at
the attempt to draw Mr.. Stanton out, while
the Radical papers generally are ready to
deny that he has gone over to the support
Of the Presidents policy, or that he is OPP
posed to the plan of the Reconstruction
Committee. Yesterdays northern papers
present such variety of opinions upon the
question as would puzzle q Philadelphia
lawyer. Fortunately for the peace of the
country, which otherwise might have been
disturbed by fight among the Republi-
cans, the National htetigencer of yesterday
settles the question in the following down
right language:
"This community does not expect the
Intelliqencer to re-afiirm its statements OF
what it has published as reliable matter OF
fact: and we should not now refer to the
denials of the verify of our report of what
transpired recently in Cabinet council con-
corning restoration were it not that we
have q comment to make upon the sub
ject, and also to aver upon authority from
many intelligent sources the further fact,
that Mr.. Stanton spoke at some length,
and was more pronounced or emphatic
than our carefully prepared report stated.
alt occurs to us that some of the Radi-
cal organs should behave more manly, and
take the rapidly accommodating evidences
of popular condemnation of their course
with other than presentations, groans, and
tears. The people soon tire of sturdy po-
litical beggars who habitually ventilate
their wrongs and woes before the nation,
and appeal for help in the form OF addl-
tional subscriptions, or by public. gratuitics
at the expense of our oyer-taXcd people"

This Infamous bill DISTINGUISHES two
thirds of the voters in West Tennessee
namely, all who have borne arms against
the Government of the United States for
the purpose of aiding the late rebellion, or
have voluntarily given aid, comfort, coun-

rebellion against the authority of the
United States Government, or aided, coun-
tcnanced, or encouraged acts Of hostility
thereto. Also, all who have held office un-

tributed money to aid it, or held Office I'M
der the State governments in "rebellion."
There are few exceptions made-such as
