EMIGRATION TO BRAzu--An agency for the

recently opened in Broadway. It is situated
directly opposite the Offices Of the Brazilian
Consulate, and is said to be acting under its
authorization. 1t promises, by advertisements
and bills profusely distributed, free passage
and "homesteads,- the extent OF which, how
ever, is not specified. The temptations thus
held out have attracted large numbers OF the
poorer classes. and the entrance TO the Office in
crowded from morning till night. From cir
cumstances that have TRANSFERRED, and especially
from the fact that the applicants are required
TO sign an obligation for the repayment Of
fifty dollars 1t would seem that the passage 10

up in the interest Of those who trust TO these
promises. There are precedents in the con-
duct Of the Brazilian government towards tho
German emigrants-who have been forced 10
enter the Brazilian army or to work as peones
at miserable wsges-which suggest doubts
whether these offers are not made to entrsp
recruits for the bloody campaign now being
waged in Paraguay, or at least to secure labor
ers at the same starvation rates. The news
just received from Paraguay is Of character
to suggest caution on the part OF emigrsn"

TIE INrERroRTY OF THE ENGLISH IRON LADs.-
We published exclusively in the HERALD OF
yesterday the Official reports Of the important
naval battle between the allied feet and the
Paraguayans before the fort Of Curupaity
and this morning we give additional particu-
lars from our correspondent at Rio Janeiro,
fully explanatory of the movements looking
towards negotiations for peace, their failure
and the battle, detached and unintelligible &C.
counts Of which have come to us by
way Of England and the cable. Those Of
our readers who are acquainted with naval
warfare and war ships cannot but be deeply
interested In the facts developed by that
engagement II 10 apparent that The art
Of war. as practised in Paraguay, is but
little behind our own in perfcctness that not
only have these Powers large armies and
powerful fleets, but that they are well equip
ped and splcndidly armed with the best
weapons Of modern manufacture, while some
Of the engagements, including that before
Curupaity on the 22d Of September, have been
Of magnitude and desperation second only
to the late battles in this country.
In the last battle The allied forces were sup
ported by powerful feet, embracing Eve
iron-clads, three Of English and two Of French
construction. When moving to the attack the
two French vessels, the Bahia and Lima Bar
ros, were placed In advance, - n the allied
commander had greater confidence In their
strength than In those Of Ehgiish make.

this enormous revenue goes into private
pockets, when it justly belongs to the people
and should be appropriated to their benefit
The country legislators talk about the terrible
democratic vote of wicked New York and
naughty Brooklyn. Here is way to wipe
out these party majorities. Let the republican
Legislature show that they deserve the con-
fidence OF the masses Of the working people
by repeating every private gas and railroad
charter they have granted, instead Of dealing
out new jobs to the lobby; let them legislate
SO as to secure to the citizens cheap gas and
cheap fare, through the medium Of Board of
Public Works, and the popular endorsement
of their conduct will soon be made manifest
at the ballot box, even in these benighted
municipalities.
