THE SOUTH IN

The introduction of Southern men,
bers into Congress will have an effect
upon legislation, even during the pres.
eut year, which will o begin to show
itself. Ever since Secession the legis-
lation of the country has been carried
on by Northern men, according to
Northern ideas. What was good for
the North was resolved upon, and in
dealing with Southern questions the
principal doctrine seemed to be that the
North knew what was good for the
South. There could not be during the
war any consultation with Southern
men, and since the wal was over those
who were accessible were so stained
with rebellion that they could have no
influence. When men who were motto.
riously engaged in treason during the
war presented themselves to advise as
to Southern interests, pretending and
asserting, rs most Of them did, that
they had yielded only to superior force,
and that they did not regret their &C.
tions during the war, and had not relin-
pushed the principles which they fought
for, they could not expect to obtain
much consideration. But the delega-
tious which now enter Congress are in
accord with the majority they belong
to the same party, and are expected to
support party They will
assume at once n power which, if they
are good tacticians, they will not make
Extensively conspicuous, but which can
be exercised very much to the advantage
Of their section. The fact that those
delegates come from States in which
the greater proportion Of the white in
habitants are hostile to them, will make
them anxious to conciliate that portion
of their constituents by strongly advo-
eating everything that a be Of advan-
tage to the South. They will endeavor
to show how they can benefit their
States, and they will be united in the
pursuit Of all measures necessary to I'M
prove and advance the interests of the
South. They will do their best to press
the subjects in which they are interested
upon their colleagues. No doubt they
will partially, if not wholly succeed.
Subjects wholly Southern will receive a
more respectful hearing than have been
accorded to them in Congress for more
than seven years, and if occasionally
the Southern delegations should unite
to prevent the accomplishment Of some
plan which concerned the North and
West, they would only follow ante-re-
bellion presidents.

NJ as

1t seems to be q received fact that the
Paraguayans have embodied a large
force of women to watch and defend
the second line of defenses at the
Tibiguary. The existence of female
warriors in South America, it is said,
gave rise to the name applied to the
river Amazon. Historic doubters have
questioned the truth of those legends,
but Humboldt, having investigated the
question, came to the conclusion that
there was foundation for them.
Throughout South America, especially
among the descendants of the India
races, the female sex is in a state of
s~emi-slavery, which makes il hewers of
wood and drawers of water for men.
The great drain made upon the re-
sources of Paraguay by continuance
of the war has caused every available
man to be placed in the army. In no
country in the world, it may be sup
posed, has CONSUMPTION been more gen.
eral and absolute, and if there are cow
ards there they have had no chance to
indulge in their weakness. In our own
war we found that great advantage
would ensue by reducing the number Of
able-bodied men necessary for guard
subsistence and commissary service.
Hence the establishment of the Invalid
Corps, which released several thousand
able-bodied men and sent them to the
front. What we did with invalid
soldiers is proposed by Lopez to be done
with women. They will be sufficient to
hold the post at Tibiguary, while the
whole male force is fighting at Humaita.
Doubtless these women understand the
use Of arms, aud are bold enough to use
them in case Of any enterprise against
the position which they hold. Against
such soldiers the Allies, if they have
any intention Of an attack upon Tibi-
quarry, will be troubled to determine
what course would be judicious to pur'
sue. To fight women is not q pleasant
thing for the true soldier to do. How
ever removed from the finer influences
Of civilization be may be-and some o.
these South Americans are but a steI
above semi.barbarism-the unusual ex'
pertinent of a battle with women viii
restrain them and weaken their efforts
But, on the other hand, the women vii
have no hesitation in killing oil the Bra
zilians that come within reach Of theiI
guns. Women are tender creatures q!
long as they confine themselves to tht
proper sphere and duties Of women
but once they step beyond that boun'
Diary, and allow their hate and passion
to mould their actions, they become
furies, fierce, unrelenting and vindic.
tive, stopping at no exposure and daring
every danger. The Allies will find this
new Paraguayan measure Of defense one
Of the most p%erpleSiug and annoying
that they have yet encountered, and
they will be glad if Lopez will keep his
Amazous upon guard duty far distant
from the fight.

CRABs.-A gentleman at Annapolis
fenced in a cove near the mouth OF the
Severn river, and commenced the Guilt
walton Of crabs on q large scale. He
has put in about 1000, and feeds them
on coarse fish and any kind Of refuse
meat. A squad of them will attack a

would pick n deer. The soft crab Is

shell is again formed. But few soft
crabs are seen, owing to the diff
Guilty of capturing them in the nick
of time" This difficulty it is proposed
TO obviate by the herding process,
where the stock can be examined every

location of the crab pasture is at a point
where the tide regularly Gibbs and flows,

The Two-THrRDs RULE IN THE FOURTH

The Two-THIRps RULE IN H FOURTH
OF JULY CoSvESTIoS.-The Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Gazette,
in q letter dated the 18th OF June, said /:
THE city is unusually full Of leading
Democrats from a distance. At quite u
gathering last night, the approaching
New York Convention was the subject
of grave remark. 1t was generally con-
ceded that some reliable man would be
the selected standard.bearer of the par
ty, and that he would be placed upon a
platform short, plain and to the pur-
pose. AS to the course Of the Southern
delegates, of whom two or three are
here, it was thought they would united
ly and cheerfully yield o ready acqui-
escence in what should appear to be
the wishes Of the real representation of
the Democratic party in the North, but
that they should not be regarded or
treated as ciphers, but as peers. An
other very important matter was dis
cussed-that Of the famous two-third
rule. II was contended that whatever
considerations in by-gone days might
have been urged in its favor, time had
demonstrated that its observance had
rather distracted than connected the
party. The inevitable tendency Of its
adoption now would be merely to defeat
the will Of the majority. A third Of
the members of the Convention, belong
ing to the odds and ends Of personal
cliquss under its operation, have the
power either to force an Objectionable
candidate upon the party or to disrupt
the organization. Its Inauguration in
1874 laid the foundation Of the schism
between the Northern and Southern
wings Of the Democratic party, and,
finally, in 1860, led not only to the dis
ruption Of the only national party then
existing, but, as q necessary conse-
quence, to warfare. There cannot at
this day be q single sound reason ad-
yanced in favor Of its continuance, and
IN the opinion of wise heads it should
be formali' abandoned, as soon as the
4th Of July Convention assemblies. As
a substitute it was thought at the gath
ering referred to, a rule pr~eliminarily
pledging every member to abide by and
support the choice of a majority might
answer all profitable purposes"

Who is Horatio Seymour? For
tuuately for tho public, but unfor-
tunately for himself, he has a record.
But it is Of that sort the ill-starred
youth made for himself, who fired the
temple of Greece. His record may be
briefly stated. In 1852 lie ran against
the gallant Wadsworth, who laid down
his life for his country in the g Wilder
ness" for Governor Of New York. The
people of the Empire State did not like
tho hating, feeble way the war was
carried on. Seymour saw the dlscon-
tent, and pretending to be for q o
vigorous prosecution Of the war;, he
went into the canvass, and, by the arts
Of u demngogue, % It is n notice.
able fact that the decrease Of the Re-
publican vote that year 10 the State,
~corresponded nearly with the number Of
soldiers New York had sent to the field.
Even by his high pretenses as q war
man, Seymour only won by 1000 mn
jority. His course was that OF n maj
who sought to be n Democrat but wished
to catch tho popular current. In fact,
be was one Of those go-betweens des-
pissed by all frank, honorable men the
world over. Ho was for the war, but
threw many obstacles in tho way of n
triur ph by the friends Of the Republic.
He played fast and loose he declared
for energetic measures, but caviled at
and resisted the draft. Those bloody
riots in New York city resulted from his
policy. Who oan paint the horrors Of
those days Of violence! Thousands OF
inotfensive negroes were butchered in
cold blood. principally women and chill
dren ; m orphan asylum burned and its
inmates murdered, and more than q
million and q half dollars Of property
destroyed. Governor Seymour was
there, and addressed the rioters as "my
friends"
Another point in the history Of the
little demagogue must not be forgotten.
At the time when liberty hung in the
balance at Gettysburg, and Grant had
Pemberton cooped up in Vicksburg and
ready to surrender, Governor Seymour
was holding forth in turgid defamation
to his fellow-citizens, declaring most
authoritatively that the war was n
failure and must stop. While the DEM
ocrntic nincompoops, the base and
cowardiy miscreants who would not so
to the war for the defense of the coun-
try but stayed at home and reviled those
who did, were sending up their maud
lin shouts in approval of the reasonable
utterances Of Seymour, Lee, as if in
mockery Of Horatio's prophecy, was
flying across the Potomac, and Pember-
ton with his 1000 men was making an
unconditional surrender" of Vicks-
burg to the victorious Grant. While
the Copperhead Governor Of New York
was using his high position to dismem-
Der the Union, Grant and Banks were
causing the Father Of Waters to "roll
