lt is understood to be the intention of the
President to suspend Charles A. Washburue
1or his recent disgraceful conduct as American
Minister to Paraguay should official details
conhrm the newspaper intelligence. His let
ter to the British Minister here, however, is re-
garded at the State Department as cause for
his spension.-Argus.
The above paragraph is evidently malicious
and shows how little of probable foundation
there is for the attacks upon Mr.. Washburn.
He resigned long ago and his successor, Gen.
McMahon, is already on his way to Paraguay.
We learn that the State Department fully sus-
tains Mr.. Washburn and entirely exonerates
MIN from the charges that have been in some
cases hastily and in others maliciously. pre-
ferred against him. The Department holds
tnat he was utterly powerless to rescue the
members of his legation who were seized by
Lopez and that he erred if at all, in endeav-
oring to protect subjects q other governments
from outrage. He promptly applied to Ad-
miral Davis for a naval force to compel the
parbarous Paraguayan to give up his prison
ers, but the Admiral refused to assist him.
Within few days some of the better-inform
ed journals that have been parties to the at
tack upon Mr.. Washburn have recanted. :
prominent among these is the New. York Trib-
une which now acknowledges that he was
powerless to prevent or to avenge the acts of
Lopez.

A WORD WITH REPUBLICANS.

"a word to the wise is sufficient" and
we trust the Republicans of Jefferson cour-
7>ty will wake up to theimportaHce Of becom-
ing more thoroughly organized to meetth
wants and requirements of the coming
caRpaign Ne are by no means syilling
to admit that this county is beyond re-
demption, and we shall hold fast te the
opinion until we are more thoroughlycoh-
WINGED to the contrary, that with the
prope- exertion and management, this
county can be placed sideioby side with
the reliable Republican counties Of this
State. In the fall election of 1866, con-
siderable zeal and energy was infused into
the canvass, and the result was a drawn
battle, although we had majority of
nearly 500 to overcome. Now we claim,
with like interest manifested and the
same egeItons used, and little more, we
can redeem Jefferson county ard make it
for evermore reliably Republican.
Is it any wonder that the Republican
party is in an almost hopeless minority in
'this county, when we have the positive
assurance that in many of the towns the
Republicans have no organization what
ever, and in most of them very little
work is ever done, and scarcely any effort
ever made to get out a full vote. Start
liiag as it may seem, and we assert it with
cut fear of contradiction, the Republicans
of tbs county hardly ever poll more than
tllree-fourths of their vote, while the Dem
ocrats are quite certain to always call out
sheir full strength. These things can
only be successfully surmounted by each
Republican putting his shoulder to the
wheel and doing what he can to make the
Republican party more effective in its Of
ganization. This and only this will in
sure our success, and we hope the matter
will be no longer delayed When the col
upas of the Democracy. are once broken,
I'VE think it quite certain they never can
again regain the power they have 50
long he'll in this county, and therefore
We trust The earnest endeayors of the
Republicans be cxerted to this end.

Editor Watertown Republican,:
Iu the WatertoWn Democrat of Jan
%, the editor complains of the Radicals
in Congress fer what he calls an attempt
to fetter and bind the United States
court by law which will require two

any acts Of congress unconstitutional, and
thinks chat by the same rule they can
proceed farther and require unanimity,
'no matter hosR nfaeh ;sech iat7 may be

would suppose that law very contrary to

ty with the judges, If they were honest
and capable; if they are not so, a little
lettering would not be out Of place. Had
this been done years ago we should have
