WOmen,s Rights.

The strong minded women of St. Louis are
busiy exercised at the present moment about
women's rights. 1t appears that the city
boasts an organization known by the name Of
the Womans Suffrage Association. This asso-
citation, which Is affiliated with sister associa-
lions that are scattered everywhere over
the Union, has forwarded to Congress q petit
ton, which is signed by some two thousand
persons and which prays for the privilege Of
voting. AT the same time we learn that OF
thirteen persons now confined in the Tombs
on the charge Of murder four are women,
and that the combined strength Of the associ-
ated sisterhood is now being exerted to save
one of the murderesses from the gallows.
Women really do not know what they want.
The one sorrow is that they cannot oil get
comfortably married. We can discover no
good reason why they should be allowed to
vote. If woman has good looks she runs a
good chance for husband, and, having a
husband, her mouth should be shut. SO far as
we can see at present, the best thing that
could be done for strong-minded women Of the
women's rights order would be to build few
additional lunatic asylums. We commend this
idea to Mrs. Cady Stanton, Susan d. Anthony
Lucy Stone and the rest of them.

News FROM MExIoo.-The interesting let
tiers from the west coast of Mexico, which we
publish to-day in another column, give faith
full picture of the process of disintegration and
decay through which that country is passing.
Poverty and dlapidation is the rule, not the
exception; and the only remedy which the
hungry oflce-seekers find for existing evils is
the creation Of several new State governments,
which shall make more Offices and more chances
for plundering the public. Events on the
Pacific coast are pointing with unwavering
fidelity to the coming solution. While the in
heritors of rich soil, abundant mineral
resources and fine climate can make nothing
but poverty and decay of their inheritan ce, a
powerful community is rapidly growing up on
their border-enterprising, active and restless
in aspiration. Whatever Western Mexico
holds of good in its population is contracting
new ties with their prosperous neighbors on
the Pacific; and some bright day the sleepy
powers in Vera Cruz and the capital will wake
to find new state Of things, in which they
will have little or no part.

CHRISTMAS AND IT'S OBsERvANcR.-The
oldest inhabitant does not remember many
Christmas days colder than yesterday, and
the cold extended over an immense section Of
the Union. Nevertheless, the day was gen.
orally observed throughout the country with
marked devotion to the usual religious solem-
mites and social festivities and amusements.
The churches, the Park and the skat-
ing Kinks were well patronized during the
day and the theatres and negro minstrels in
the evening; but still the intense cold was a
serious drawback to thousands short Of coal,
roast turkeys and comfortable clothing. We
look for change in the weather to something
better by New Years day; for after one Of
these freezing touches Of Alaska we are apt
to have a relieving south wind from Cuba.

The Eastern Questionable Peace Conference
Definitely Arranged.


Through the cable we are enabled TO give
our readers this morning quite budget of in
teresting European dispatches, embracing the
latest information afoat yesterday in Berlin,
Paris and London. The most important item
is that the proposed conference of the great
European Powers has been definitely arranged
and that ii win meet in Paris early in January
Next, it appears that all parties concerned,
great and small are peaceably inclined and
in favor OF the conference, and that Of all the
leading Powers England is the most indif-
ferent concerning it. This may be so, as
England is preoccupied and has her hands
full with her new reform movement Gladstone
and John Bright
The conference, however, being resolved
upon, the question recurs what can it do to
secure peace on this Eastern question:? Unless
the Turk and the Greek go into the convention
they cannot be bound by 1t, and it is not yet
settled that either Of them is ready to surren-
der his pretensions to this board of arbitrator.
Greece, in fact, is actively arming for war,
relying upon the strong arm of Russia, while
the Sultan doubtless feels assured that, should
the worst come to the worst, England and
France will be found to help him from sheer
necessity against the Cossack. The only
points perfectly clear at present are that
Prussia has a peace policy in view from
which she expects to complete the unfication
of Germany, and that Napoleon is too much
absorbed in Spain and the republican elements
of France to be diverted for the present into
other embarrassments. We know, to be sure,
that every State in Europe with heavy debts
is under bonds to keep the peace; but we
| know at the same time what a great fire
| little spark may kndle, and that the spark as
between Turkey and Greece is not small
matter to extinguish.

TIE PRESIDENT AND GENERAL GRANT
There Is now no doubt that amicable rela
lions between the President and General
Grant will soon be re-established. The
Christmas amnesty proclamation received the
entire appreciation of the President elect be-
fore Mr.. Johnson's signature was put to 1t,
and as IL Is well known that the General has
been consulted on various other important
state matters it is fair to presume that no
thing remains 10 confirm the ehtei1te c0rdIale
between The outgoing and the incoming Execu-
tivos nut tn, formal shaking Of hands
moral Grant IL determined 10 have peace.

Progress OF the Troubles in La Plata
Valley.

PrSgresS OIL tine Troubles an La RATA
Valley.
Our news from the Plata river and Rio
Janeiro is Of great interest. Our fleet has
gone up the Parana to demand an explanation
of Lopez for the Imprisonment of Bliss and
Masterman; President Sarmiento has released
all the Paraguay prisoners ; General Caxias is,
as usual, trying to flank the Paraguayans, and
the war moves more slowly than ever.
At Rio Janeiro there is storm brewing
around the ears Of Dom Pedro III. The empire
is tired-disgusted, in fact-with the war.
Drained of financial and muscular power, it
cannot longer continue the struggle with any
hope Of success. The Cabinet has plainly
told the Emperor this, and he, knowing, as we
have often said, that che is fighting for his
crown as much as Lopez is fighting to hold his
own governmental position" threatens elf any
negotiation be entered into with Lopez ii must
be carried on by my successor, for will abdi-
cate if such procedure be carried out" This
proves that the war has reached crisis and
that very soon we shall hear of negotiations
being opened between the belligerents con-
trary to the scandalous and barbaric treaty
through which the strife was commenced.
The Plata valley belongs to the people who
inhabt it, and should be governed by them.
II is not for the interests of the civilized world
that Brazil should control the whole of Eastern
South America. In this view we uphold the
gallant defence which Lopez is making against
the aggressions Of Brazil on the one side and
the national suicide which the Argentine Re-
public is trying to commit on the other. We
! know President Sarmiento well and misjudge
| him if he fails to see that Argentine interests
demand an alliance with Paraguay rather than
with Brazil, the natural and hereditary enemy
Of the Plata valley.
Let us have peace in South America, for it
is the other half Of ourselves. 1t has a
foreign trade of nearly five hundred millions
Of dollars annually. 1t Is an East Indies lying
at our very doors, and its magnificent domain
is as yet untouched by our commerce. We
want Brazil and the Plata valley to turn their
substance into the channels of trade and civili-
zation and do as they are fully able to do
double their products in the next decade. In
war they will simply exhaust themselves, and
at its close they will find that nothing has been
gained except disgust, dshonor and poverty.

that few minutes before he had been assaulted at
the corner Of Elm ana Howard streets by party OF
roughs, one OF whom had indicted the stab. He was
unable TO give any description OF the persons all OF
whom were unknown TO him, and hence no arrests
were made. AS Galatians wound appeared TO be OF
n serious nature he was sent to Bellevue Hospital by
the police.
MYSTERY IN ANN SrRrEr.-For some time past

Parnsuay-A Repulse Of the AIIIes.

The little republic Of Paraguay is not yet
vanquished. Brazil and her allies have found
another hard nut to crack In the strong posi-
ton Of Lopez at yileta, for in desperate at
tack upon it on the 18th ultimo they were, ac-
cording to our dispatches on the subject OF
last night, repulsed, with the loss OF fifteen
hundred men killed and wounded-probably
more than fifteen per cent of the whole force
engaged. vileta is situated on the left bank
Of the Paraguay river, a short distance below
Asuncion, the capital Of Lopez, and is very
strong position naturally; for, as we under
stand 1t, the Notifications (earthworks) are
proof against the cnemys iron-clads, while
against land attack the forts are very difficult
Of approach because of the surrounding
swamps. On the opposite side Of the main
river at this point the Pilcomayo, an immense
tributary from the west, and draining vast
region rich in cattle, comes in, 10 that IL will
take some time for the allies TO starve out
Lopez. II will not be surprising, therefore If
30 should yet exhaust the powerful COAL
tion against him With lis heroic resistance, an /

senator Trumbulps bill on Lynch Law.
The recent execution by a mob of the two
parties accused of robbing an express car in
Indiana, who were delivered up by the Cana
dian authorities under provisions of the extra
dition treaty, has called from Senator Trum-
bull a new bill to preserve the persons of pri-
soners so delivered from the violence of self
constituted vigilance committees. or course
the law already denounces such acts and pro-
vides for the punishment of those who commit
them; but then, unfortunately, the law does not
always reach the criminals who deserve to be
who give them long rope and short shrift
There are localities in which the slow and
dubious process of the courts does not meet the
exigency, and hence the funess of justice often
lapses to the people. This may be true in
Indiana. 1t Is certainly true in Texas and
Arkansas and other Southern States, and we
cannot claim that even in our own city, the
centre of civilization, our skirts are entirely
clear Of the same iniquity.
We notice that the vigilance committee at
new Albany, inu', WIN hanseu the eAPress
robbers have issued circular warning all those
who oppose their measures that il they persist
in their opposition they will be summarily
dealt with. This is an unpleasant state Of
affairs for the people Of that locality. But we
do not see how Senator Trumbull's bill is going
to mend the matter. What we want Is firm
and honest judges to enforce the law, and not
any additional legislation.

THE PRESS AND THE AMNESTY PRooLAMA-
TIoN.-We give some comments OF the press
this morning on the Presidents amnesty pro-
clamation, clearing off the last instalment OF
the rebel leaders of the South, including JEFF
Davis and his farce of trial, for treason and
rebellion. From these comments it would
seem that the proclamation does not amount
to much, although one radical organ suspects
that its design on the part of the belicose
Johnson is to raise constitutional rumpus
with Congress on the fourteenth amendment
We have a hint from Washington that some of
the ultras there of the anti-Johnson school
think that Andy Johnson, in this last bit
of impertinence, has been treading very close
to the impeachment trap. But surely when
the outgoing President has been rendered
powerless to do anything else he may be
excused and even approved for exercising his
still reserved prerogative of pardoning sinners
against the constitution-the blessed consti-
tution-which he cherishes as the apple of his
eye For our part we rejoice that he has put
an end to the tiresome and useless mockery OF
the trial of JEFF Davis and the bail bond of
Greeley, whether law bail or straw bail.

Grants Policy.

Apparently man car, have poiicy ana
not know it. The idea tl.at the President
elect is person without polic,s seems merely
to have flowed from misunderstal. ding IN re-
gard to the use of words, and is par. OF the
difference that arises between the commu 'uty
and man who never heard thing ''callet..
by that name before" Grant has, in fact,
very positive ideas on great many subjects,
and as the world pretty well knows that he is
a man who sticks to his ideas we shall be as
tonished if these firmly held views do not in
time make a very substantial fabric Of policy
more puzzling than pleasing to Congress. lie
has, for instance, rather close notions on ma
tional expenditure and simple thoughts in
regard to economy. He believes that nation
in debt, as this nation is, and actually not
meeting its obligations already incurred, has
no right to so on mourning new obligations,
and we fancy that the plain people will concur
with him in this. Here, then, is point Of
policy of the most extensive import. 1t is
sound in morality and in finance but we cannot
hope that the Congressional jobbers will ac
cept it.
