The Parnguayan War.

The news from the seat of war in Paraguay,
published this morning in the special Atlantic
cable telegram to the HERALD, is of the great
est Importance. The Commander in Chief of
the allies, as the despatch states, has moved
past the fortress Humaita and captured Asun-
cion, the capital of the heroic republic of
Paraguay. This news will not prove grateful
either to Americans or the friends of right
as opposed to might in any land. There
are, moreyer, some facts to be borne in
mind in reference to the above intelli-
gence, which comes from Brazilian sources
and still requires to be confirmed. They
are the opposition to the war shown in
Brazilian, Argentine and Oriental provinces;
the violent election struggles going on in the
last two republics; the ravages of cholera in
the allied camp; the resignation of General the
Baron Porto Allegro, and the recent re-
volt at Rosario. To these we must add
the foretellings indulged in by the Rio press.
to the effect that the Marquis de Caxias
was about to attack Humaitd, pass the
Tibicuari, and move at once on AsunciOn.
Our previous advices announced that the body
of troops sent by the allied commander into
the Gran Chaco had been flanked by Para
guayan detachment, and that two thousand
reinforcements had been moved forward to
check the movements of Marshal LOpez's troops
there; they also stated that the north bank OF
the Rio Tibicuari was fortified on the same
plan as that adopted at Humaitd, and that an
advance on Asuncion would have to be made
by fighting over the whole distance. The only
reason for advancing on Asuncion past Humaita
without having captured said fortress and its
garrison could be to draw Marshal Lopez out
of his lair on open ground and then overwhelm
him with numbers. To learn whether this
daring move into hostile country, la Sher
man, has been attempted, and with success or
not, we must await the confirmation OF the
present news. 1t is strange that the news
from Rio makes no mention of the reduction
of Fort Humaita, nor of the capture of it's
garrison, which was known to have been COM
manded by Marshal Lopez in person.
The assassination of General Venancio
Flores, together with the previous accounts OF
revolt on both sides of the Rio Paraguay, show
that the present rulers under whose lead the
two republics were drawn into the war at the
heels of Brazil are as unpopular as the cause
which they have so fruitlessly and extrava-
gantly espoused.

The McCardle Case Gone Over to the Next
Term of the Supreme Court.

The McCardle Case Gone Over to the Next
Term of the Supreme Court.
The important case of McCarde before the
Supreme Court has been postponed till the next
term of the court. AS so much has been said
about this case, and as it involved great consti-
tutional questions bearing directly on the radi-
cal reconstruction measures of Congress, people
will want to know the cause of this postpone
ment The radical party in Congress have been
greatly troubled about the case, and have en-
deavored both to intimidate the Supreme Court
and to take away its judicial functions in the
matter. The conservative party and people
were desirous to have the court hear and de-
eide upon the case at an early day, hoping that
the Judiciary department of the government
might interpose its authority against the high
handed and unconstitutional legislation OF Con-
gress. The public have been more desirous,
too. of knowing what the course and decision
of the Supreme Court would be since the bill
to restrict its jurisdiction was smuggled through
Congress as an appendage to another bill alto
gether irrelevant to the subject What, then,
was the cause of this important case being put
off? It will be supposed, doubtless, that the
Judges wanted to avoid decision just now, so
as not to come in direct conflict with Congress-
and that appears to be 80, for one of the
Judges of the Supreme Court (Mr. Grier) made
protest against the postpOnement of the case.
He said :-"This case was fully argued in the
beginning of this month. 1t is case which
involves not only the liberty and rights of the
appellant in this case but of millions of our
fellow citizens. The country had right to
expect it would receive the immediate and
solemn attention of the court. BY the post
ponement of this case this court has subjected
ITSELF whether justly or unjustly, to the
imputation that it had evaded the perform
ance of duty imposed upon it by the consti-
tuition, and awaited for legislative interposi-
ton to supersede its action and relieve
it of responsibility. I have only to say
'Pudet hoc Oppr0b1S0 Gcet nan potuisse re-
peltt, or, literally translated, 4 am ashamed
such an opprobrum should be cast upon the
court and that it cannot be refuted. ;"
This language of one of the Judges is direct
to the point and forcible. Yet we see, for some
cause or other, the court did not feel as he did
about putting off the case, and acted contrary
to his wish In the report from Washington
there is something said but not clearly, about
Judge Black not being on hand to argue the
case, and this is given as reason for the post
ponement. We cannot get rid of the impress
sion, however, that the Supreme Court has
shown degree Of timidity and subservience
to Congress unworthy of that high and distin-
guishsd body. This seems to be the state of
the matter as il stands. The public will form
its own opinion of the action of the court.

reconstructed and reinstated in Congress on
the basis of universal negro suffrage, and with
Texas cut up into three or four States, to say
nothing of negro suffrage in Maryland and
Kentucky, there will be a Southern negro radi-
cal balance of power in our national affairs as
difficult, perhaps, to overcome by the North as
was the late Southern slaveholding oligarchy.
This is the radical programme, as far as de-
veloped. 1t may, however, fall very far short
of the reconstruction system contemplated with
a man in the White House whose certain sigma
ture will make only bare majority of both
houses necessary to consummate any radical
measure. But the schedule of party ways and
means we have indicated is long enough and
broad enough to bring about, step by step, .
revolution in the government 80 complete as to
make our future national elections as manage
able by the central power as universal
suffrage is in France. And this magnificent
revolutionary reconstruction system depends,
in the outset, upon the removal of Andrew
Johnson. His acquittal, therefore, by his ac
cusers, who are his judges and jury, and by
this party who will condemn themselves in his
justification acquttal, we say, will be
miracle if it shall come to pass. With these
views of the subject, we regard it as profitless
to take the discussions and decisions upon
points of law and rules of procedure in this
trial, from day to day, as afiording any indi-
cations of the final judgment of the court. JEFF
Davis will escape because he no longer stands
in the way, but Andrew Johnson's place is
wanted; the party wanting it have the power
to remove him, they have resolved upon it, and
his fate is sealed.
cold Ben Wade il is to be expected, will
come in with the flowers of May, and he is
already great man in Israel. The radical
place hunters are cultivating him accordingly,
and radical Presidential managers are parcel
ling out the spcils under him in expectation.
We have had various rumors of some arrange
ment on foot to shelve him or buy him off
but, doubtless, cold Ben" believes in the
axiom that "a bird in the hand is worth two in
the bush" When he becomes President we
shall have only one claim to make upon him
viz, that Horace Greeley shall be Postmaster
General We do not care how they settle the
next Vice Presidency among the score of
aspirants for that post of honor on the ticket
with General Grant. With the whiskey inte-
rest under his control, however, President
Wade will doubtless be able to manage the
Chicago Convention. Cotton was king, but
whiskey, under the Internal Revenue laws, has
taken his place.

Butler UubOftIed.

General Grant and Ben Butler, il appears,
have settled their personal Guarrcls through
the mediation of mutual friends, and have had
a good long smoke of the "cigar of peace
together. Grant has drawn the cork from the
bottle in which Butler was shut up by
Beauregard at Bermuda Hundred and the
noisy impeacher is now free to expend all his
froth and efcrvescence before the High Court
in the Senate Chamber. How it came to pass
that the reconciliation took place just at this
juncture may excite some curiosity; but we
must remember that General Grant is great on
flank movements, and il he cannot beat him by
n direct attack he knows how to save himself
by good retreat. Buffers famous Ground the
circle article in the bill Of impeachment was
undoubtedly intended to damage Grant, who
was the Presidents companion on that fatal
pilgrimage to the shrine of Douglas. He ex-
pected to get Grant into Dutch Gap; but
Grant was evidently not going to be entrapped,
and so he makes flank movement on the hero
of Fort Fisher, and instead of falling upon him
with all his forces falls into his arms, en-
braces him, takes light from his cigar and
uncorks the bottle. We may expect, there
fore, TO see Buffers article assume new
phase as the trial Of the President progresses,
and the wrath of Butler against Grant ap-
peased, all Of which shows that General Grant
is good tactician.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN AusrRIA.-The progress
of liberal opinions in Austria has been recently
testified to by the action of the Reichsrath IN
two instances. The first was the adoption of
the Civil Marriages bill, which was practical
ignoring Of the Concordat, and the latest In
stance of the same liberal spirit is the passage
of the bill for general education by system OF
public schools. Not only is this an advance
movement on the path of education, but II Is
an evidence of the growth Of progressive ideas,
because the clerical party opposed 1t and en-
deavored to modify the bill according to their
views by an amendment, which was rejected.
Austria has probably discovered that wen

Reported Extraordinary Deficiency in the
British Revenue.

II Is stated by the press cable telegram
turns of Great Britain for the past quarter show
deficiency of five millions sterling. The state
ment is not explicit enough to show whether
this is positive falling off from the amount of
revenue for the corresponding period last year,
OF if it be only deficiency arising from GER
tain changes or incomplete returns which may
he made up in the succeeding quarters of the
fiscal year. If it should BE- positive deficiency
as compared with the revenue of the
corresponding quarter last year, and that
it arises from general causes which may
operate through the remaining three-quarters
of the year. the British government will find
itself in very embarrassing condition; for its
income would be reduced more than ne-fOurth
But whatever may be the cause or however
the deficiency may or may not be made up by
the returns hereafter, il is certain that Great
Britain has reached the limit of taxation as far
as the people are able to bear it. The income
tax was declared by Sir Robert Peel, when he
introduced it, to be temporary measure and
that it would be removed after "a few years; but
the government has found IL impossible to
make both ends meet without it. The govern
ment has been compelled, too, to add a special
direct tax for the Abyssinian war, so as not to
Increase the burden of the debt hereafter see

weight of current taxation. Indeed, as Mr..
Gladstone remarked some time ago the burden

and will reduce the mass of the population to
absolute and hopeless paupersm unless some
means can be devised to liquidatc it. The

for a constant and yearly reduction Of the

Tux RHODE ISLAND ELECTION. late
Rhode Island election, with all the blowing Of
radical trumpets over it, went by default on both
sides. The State was overwhelmingly for them,
and so the republicans did not bring out their full
vote, and the democrats with the State over
whelmingly against them, did not bring out
theirs by some three thousand. The whole vote
was little over six thousand short Of that OF
1864. The Rhode Island election, therefore, on
national issues, amounts to nothing. Burnside
and Sprague are monarchs of all they survey in
little Rhode Island. In Connecticut, where
there is o tight fit, there will be sharply con-
tested fight and full vote, and the result wild

The Erie Railway War Renewed ut Al
buny.

buny.
The Erie Railway fight has been renewed at
Albany and is likely to occupy the attention OF
the Legislature for the balance of the session.
The Senate committee appointed to investigate
the affairs of the Erie company failed to agree,
and majority and minority reports have been
presented-the former condemning the course
of the directors, and the latter favoring the
extension of the six feet gauge to Chicago and
submitting bill legalzing the issue Of the
new ten millions of stock as necessary to
secure the completion of that work. Tho
report adverse to the Erie direction is signed by
two democrats pierce and Bradley and one
republican (Mattoon), and closes with reso-
luton favoring the introduction of bill
making it felonous offence for any
director or officer of railroad to fraud
ulently issue the stock of the company in
which he holds such trust, or to fraudulently
hold possession of the proceeds of any stock or
bonds that may have been sold by the COM
pany. The report favorable to the Erie
road, which is signed by two rep ubicans
Chapman and Humphrey advocates the ex-
tension of the broad gauge to Chicago as .
public benefit; declares that any stock frauds
on the part Of directors or others are matters
of which the courts must take cognizance, and
is accompanied by bill which legalizes the
issue of the ten million Erie stock and the
contracts with connecting railroads; prohibits
directors of the Central, Hudson River and
Harlem roads from being directors of the
Erie road, and rice oersa, and declares Illegal
and void any contract for the sale of stock de-
liverabe at future day. unless the stock
so sold shall be and remain, until the day
specified for delivery, in the possession of tho
person making the sale.
The fact that the Senate after smart con-
test voted to refer both the reports, with the
accompanying resolutions and the minority
bill, to the Committee of the Whole. indicates
that there is disposition to thoroughly ex-
anime and debate the merits of the contrO-
versy. The charges of corruption made by n
member of the Assembly in regard to the vote
on the adverse Eric report in the lower House
will serve to render the Senate still more anxious
to give both sides a fair hearing in open ses-
sion. We may, therefore, expect lively time
at Albany yet over this war of the railroad
giants, and there is hope that the members and
lobby may And themselves in clover for the
balance of session that short time ago
threatened to be a very beggarly affair.
