The Radical newspapers continue to
bewail the corruption at Harrisburg
as though they had really been fools
enough to expect something better.
During the campaign we warned the
people of the corruption and pEolifiga-

of the Radical candidates, but our
warning was unheeded. We are glad

Poor old Thad.! He had just returned

No wonder he thought Pennsylvania

At the annual meeting of the Ma S

The Parayuayan War.

There seems to be no prospect of a
speedy peace between the belllgerent
parties in South America. The Bra
lillian army is waiting for reinforce
ments to renew the contest; new
commander has been appointed who
has infused fresh life into the forces,
and hard fighting may be expected at
an early day. The Paraguayan army
on the other hand, is reported full of
confidence and ready for action, when
the proper time comes. Troops were
being raised bydraft in the Provinces,
a force had been dispatched to the Par
aguay River, and five monitors were
said to be in the course of, cOnstruc-
ton. 1t is stated that an inSurrectiOn
had occurred in Paraguay which threat
ened trouble, and thata force had been
dispatched to the northwestern border
to guard against aggressions from Pc
ru. Lopez has not been idle and h3s
profited by the respite to render his po-
sition stronger in Curupaity, by ma
king abattis at all the points of easier
access, and mounting a new battery OF
thirty heavy guns, facing the river.
1t is the opinion of many foreign and
native officers that Curupaity cannot
he taken without great sacrifice of
lives.
The opening of the Amazon River
and its tributaries to the trade of all
nations is noticed in the leading Bra
lillian papers, and they claim that the
war is now urged by them for the pur-
pose of compelling Lopez to act in a
like liberal and progressive manner.
This is a point well taken by the allies,
and calculated to make them friends in
all commercial nations. But Lopez
maintains that this is mere pretense on
the part of theallies, that he is not op-
posed to free trade on the Paraguay
but that it must be instituted in such
way as not to profit Brazil to the inju-
ry of Paraguay. This is the position
occupied by Lopez on the free-trade
question, and he has dispatched agents
to England and the continent for the
purpose of representing his views in
the mercantile circles there. In the
meantime, the war will progress, and
the end may be interposition on the
part of France. Such q thing has been
indicated more than once during the
continuance of the struggle, and it may
become fact if the war be protracted.

WE are glad to see that many of the
most influential Radical journals are
out against the impeachment of the
President, and it is to be hoped that
their wiser and more prudent counsels
may prevail. In this country, the i'm
peachment of a President bya partisan
House, and his trial and conviction by
a partisan Senate, can end only in
bloody revolution.

system must be prepared that the lungs will

must first be cleansed and an appetite created for
good wholesome food, which, by these medicines
will be digested properly, and good healthy blood
made thus building up the constitution. Schenck's
Mandrake Pills cleanse the stomach of all bilious
or mucous sccumulations; and, by using the Sea

medicinal, and, by using the three remedies, all
Impurities are expelled from the system, and good
