to obtain complete control of the mouth Of the
La Plata. General Flores one Of the aspirauts
to the Presidency Of Uruguay, was installed
in power by the aid Of Brazil; the triple al
lance between Brazil, Uruguay, and the Ar
gentne Confederation was formed; and in June
1865 the unequal warfare was commenced in
sober earnestness. One article Of the tripar.
tite treaty stipulated that the Allies should
'not lay down their arms unless by common
consent, nor until they have overthrown the
actual government of Paraguay" and in an
other article 1t was stipulated that the ultimate
intention Of the Brazilian Government "shal
remain a secret until the principal object of
the alliance be obtained" This ambiguous
sentence is the only justification for sympathy
with Paraguay; but even if it be the intention
of Brazil to annex or divide Paraguay among
the allies, the advocates of justice and true
liberty cannot, in view of the oppressive and
exclusive despotism Of the Paraguayan Diots-
tors, raise any reasonable objections.
Our readers are already familiar with the
progress of the conflict on the banks of the
Parana. Paraguay has striven manfully to
hold her own, and the heroic devotion Of her
soldiers has justly excited the admiration of
he world. But everything has been in their
svor. Nearly all Of the inhabitants are native
Guarani Indians, who are under complete
subjection, and when thus restrained they
make excellent soldiers. After making two or
three unsuccessful attempts at carrying the
war into Brazilian and Argentine territory,
Lopez retired, as early as September 1865,
behind his elaborate entertainments on the
banks of the Parana, where he has been en-
abled to hold out for nearly three years, by
reason of the marshy nature of the situation,
and by an occasional bold sally. The Al
lies, on the contrary, have had almost
insurmountable distractions to overcome,
chief among which has been the fact
that they have been obliged to transport
nearly all of their supplies and recruits from
Rio de Janeiro by water, distance of two
thousand miles BY reason of the slow pro-
gress made, dissatisfaction has been rte of
late, both in Brazil and the Argentine Con-
federation, and a strong peace party has arisen
in each country. But, il the news from
Brazilian sources should prove to be true, this
Sire in the rear'' will be effectually sup
pressed, and the war will be brought to a
speedy termination in the best interests OF
humanity and republicanism.

Judicial Court esy.

A DAY or two ago certain attorney, in argu-
ing case before Judge Barnard, of New York
city, mildly expressed the hope that they
"might get ON as expeditiously as possible;"
whereupon that distinguished jurist exclaimed:
81 get along as expeditiously as I want to. You
take care of your business, and will Of mine"
1t is barely possible that the attorney may
have overstepped the limits of forbearance in
requesting no unnecessary delay; but it ap-
pears to us that no mere petulancy on the part
of counsel should lead a man who occupies a
seat upon the bench SO far to forget the dig
nifty of his position as to use such insulting
language as that which we have quoted. Sub
sequent developments in the course of the
same case show the mental and judicial
calibre of this profound dispenser of justice.
The same attorney endeavored to avert
threatened decision of the Court by reading
from one of the Judges own previous deci-
sions; and so astounded was Judge Barnard
at the views which he had formerly held, that
he was constrained to exolaim;-"The way
you read that opinion, it tears me all to

this morning that a rebellion has broken out
in Arkansas, and that arme 1 men have closed

the South to be, it seems incredible that it
should be as bad as this. II it should prove
to be So we hope it will be suppressed with
the strong arm Of military power, and all who
instigated it be tried, and, if convicted, be
executed. There must be an example made,
and there is no better time than the present.

ADMIRAL FARRAGUT's RETURN. We see that
Admiral Farragut returns to the United States
in October. His trip abroad has been great
success, and the money expended in it is well
invested. 1t has given to Europe correct
idea of the greatness of the naval power of the
United States. The grand old officer is just
the one, with his splendid war record, to re-
ceive the honors, and the manner in which he
has been received in every port attests the ap-
probation which the Old World has of his

Helena, Angst TO- 1868.
How are the mighty fallen We used to
hear from the border rufhans that the negroes
were not human, and that the white man who
asserted that they were so only held his due
station when ridden on a rail in panoply of
tar and feathers. But now the negro has a
vote and his devoted Democratic brethren
urgently invite him to feast, and beg him to
accept either choice of tables, or, better STILL
to permit his white brother to sit side By side
with him. There would be fun in this if we
were at liberty to look merely at the ludicrous
position of the repentant rutfians; but there is
q deeper meaning in it; fact fingers beneath
fering of the past. The negroes have heard
that the meat is to be poisoned-and they
believe il
The black is the natural friend of his former
master; he finds in him defender against his
Northern deceiver; he is ready to rush into
his arms so we hear on every balmy breeze
waited from the homes OF the unreconstructed
but it really looks as if it was the master tina
was desirous Of rushing into the embrace Of
the enfranchised slave.
Democracy must be having hard time Of it
among the freedmen OF Helena, and the lead
ers have suddenly put their minds and heads
into the work of proving the sincerity of their
new professions. The instincts Of the negro
teach him with unerring certainty that their
meat will be poisoned by their old pro-slavery
enemies, and the suspicion, in a political
sense, does credit to their sagacity, for fgura-
lively if not literally, it is undoubtedly well
founded. The end and aim of the Seymour
and Blair organization is to give poisoned
meat' not only to the negroes but to the
representative of every loyal interest.

PETERSBURG, October 81, 1868.
Ihave but little more to furnish to-day
than the monthly statistics for October.
The number of marriage licenses issued
by the clerk of the Hastings Court is nine
teen. six being to white parties and thir-
teen to colored. With the latter class,
marriage is in vogue at all seasons, so that
we see but little difference between one
month and another. ii. .a,s
The interments at Blandford Cemetery
number twenty-eight, only two of which
were of colored persons, while the remains
of two white persons living outside of the
city were brought in for burial. The bu-
Underground for negroes is on the poor
house farm, but no record of the interments
has ever been kept. Why this is so l have
no means of knowing, but one would natu-
rally suppose that every well-goyerned city
would like to have mortuary statistics of
all classes of its population.
The poor-house contains ninety-one in
mates-say forty whites and ffty-one CO.
lored. By an arrangement between the
city authorities and the Freedmen's Blu
reau the former agreed to provide negro
psupers with shelter and the latter to fur
nish them with rations.
During the month the Mayor has tried
sixty-six criminal and thirty-three civil
cases. ..........- . !
And finally, his Honor has collected fines
to the amount Of $3.50.
Altogether, our criminal records do not
indicate large amount of disorder. Many
of the arrests were for trivial offences, and
for two or three days in each week no cases
were up before the Mayor. S.
