Our Minister 70 Paraguay.

There has been considerable said In tho
papers and in political and'diplomatio circles
in respect to the difficulties which are known
to exist between General Lopez, the President
of Paraguay, and our Minister, Mr.. c. A.
Washburn.
Some parties have condemned Mr.. Wash
burn, and that, too, without giving to the
whole question In issue the consideration
which the gravity Of the matter In controversy
involves. The truth is Mr.. W. did all he
could under the circumstances to protect the
attaches.
Nothing Is clearer than this, that Lopez has
violated tho recognised law Of nations, and
committed an outrage upon the American
flag. lie forcibly ssissd and bore away
Msssrs. p. c. Bliss and @. F. Masterman,
both members Of the American legation, and
this too while these gentlemen were standing
BY the side Of Mr.. Washburn and we're en-
route for Bueuos Ayrss.
Mr.. Washburu's letter to the British Minis
ter at BGenos Ayres declares that he has rsa
son to believe that these gentlemen have bssl
exposed to torture, II not put to death BY thi
man Lopez. Lopez asserts, probably upo
some trumpod-up charge. that these youn
American gentlemen were engaged in q con
spiracy.t to take his life. Tho probabilities 0
such an accusation are, and must be, as ever
one can sec, very slight, and as q matter Q
course Mr.. Washburn could place no conf
dsnos in any such stories. lie sought TO pro
tect these men, to vindicate the Law and tn
dignity Of his Government, and to protect th
rights Of American citizens and the honor O
his fag 10 short, we affirm that he did al
In his power to save those men.
Assuming these statements to bo tho sub
stantial facts 10 the case-though stated In
brief by US In this connection-we see nothing
to condemn in Mr.. washburn's course, bu,
much to commend every way. Indssd, ",
cannot sec how he could have acted differently
He has asserted the rights Of American citi
zons, and by his acts did what was In hi
power to protect his friends, members of hi
own family. and two Of his fellow.citizsns.
When all the particulars are known an,
spread before tho world, the Government an,
tho nation will stand by Mr.. washburn.

The CIVIL TENURE Acr.-Msny of tho
Democratic papers seem to be very much eI.
ercised lest General Grants administration
should be embarrassed BY this law regulating
the tenure Of Office Of all civil Off ,ials.
They are discussing the question, and re.
commencing what should be done In the prsm.
ise,. 1t Is all very kind In them, but We
would suggest that they walt bit till they
ascertain how General Grant himself may feel
upon this question. At any rate they may be
assured that the Republicans will act in this
instance In accordance with what they deem
to be the best interests of the country, and
that they will not act under the advice Of the
Democracy.
The New Orleans Pieayans takes a sensible
party view Of this matter, and advises the
Democracy to do nothing moro than to vote
for the repeal Of this statute. but thinks that
they should take no steps to further Its abro.
cation.

Rowland Hill showed the English people
how q letter cosId be carried from Lands Eud
20 John O'Groat's for one penny A reformer
by the name of Brandon is now busy with the
project Of establishing a cheap passenger
system by which, a. he contends a three-pannv
stamp should pay for a Journey from one end
OF England TO the other. The idea seems
visionary on The first mention, but not more so
perhaps than the penny postage project seemed
when first proposed. Mr.. Brandon proposes
20 consider passenger as a letter and 20 send
bIm the length of the land, without regard to
distance, for a certain fixed rate. For a three
penny stamp the passenger may 90 one mile,
or to The end of the rail, third class. A six
penny stamp will send HIM any distlnce,
second class, and for q shilling be may rite
1--WE minutes, or all day IN a first class ear.
He invites iueredulOus persons to a cOuside
ration Of figure v inch certainly seem TO prove
that such an arrangement viii not only work,
but will be really more profitable for share
holders than tine present prices. IL appears
from hrs figures that this low rate l. not very
much less Than the fare at present pad for an
average journey. In Io65, in round numbers.
3jOO,UO passenger trains ran over 7I,OJQO1O
miles, carrying 252,oOO,OO0 passengers The
passenger traffic produced fIi,72I,3Ol. This
gives an average of nearly twenty one miles.
and seventy-three passengers for each train;
winch is about three and a. half passengers per
mile, giving an average fare for the present
average journey of fourteen pence. The re-
duced rate, Mr.. Brandon estimates, would in
crease the traffic slx-fold, which would give
the railroad companies an excess of f4,OOLOOO
of receipts, with very little additional ex.
Pense, al a thTee-penny rate. But IL Is claimed
that of the increase number of passenge one
seventh would ride fiTst-class, 1t one shilling,
and two-seventns, second class, At six pence,
which would raise the annual return from
4i4,725,OOO to f33.0oO,OOO
In answer to the objection that there is no
analogy between carrying a half-ounce letter
and hundred pound passenger, Mr.. Brandon
ssserts that The most expensive part of the
present postal system is the delivery, and not
the trsnsi', and as the passengers would de-
liver themselves, the balance would be in favor
Of the passenger over the postage system.
We shall look with interest TO see how the
Brandon cheap passenger iides prospers in
the British mind. In this country railroad
fares are generally lower than in England, but
not IS low as they should be. and as they could
be made to- be, with profit to the stockholders.
The success OF our street railways, by which
passengers are conveyed for not many more
pennies Per mile than they were charged dol
lars under the old hackney coach system, shows
