over and the line is about to be worked Wig
orously again. Owing to the sagacity of a
New York financier meeting of the creditors
of the road was brought about recently in Lon
don and everything arranged satisfactorily for
a fresh start. Mr.. McHenry was selected to
take charge of the business, probably because
he knows more about its history and past
operations than any one concerned in 1t. With
this view he is about to come to this country
Immediately. Indeed, he was to have sailed
from Liverpool in the Scotia on Saturday
last, and is now probably on his journey. He
is accompanied by Sir William Russell, Mr..
Lang, the member of Parliament, and other
gentlemen known In the circles Of English
capital and finance. We are, therefore,
likely to see this great railroad enterprise
going on swimmingly before long under COM
petent management.

THE VERMONT ELEcroN.-H the general
election which will take place tomorrow,
September 1, in Vermont-the stronghold Of
the republican party-shall result as usual in
a radical victory 1t viii occasion no more sur
prise than the announcement that the Dutch
have taken Holland. The republican majori-
ties In Vermont have ranged during the past
ten years from fifteen to twenty thousand.
Even decided falling Off in the republican
majority this year would perhaps indicate
rather the apathy engendered by over-conf-
dence on the part of the radical voters than
any significant change in popular sentiment
The Vermont election cannot be regarded as
so important in view of its bearings on the
Presidential campaign as the election which
will take pace in Maine on the 14th inst. The
latter election will be far more decisive and
significant.

The SITUATION IN EURoPE.-The European
Journals are engaged in serious canvass OF
the political situation on the Continent-for
peace or war. 1t is said that Germany,
prepared for war, really desires peace, and
that to Austria and Russia the maintenance OF
peace is an absolute necessity. Marshal Neil,
speaking for France, asserts that the empire
can preserve its present condition Of quiet or
undertake war as necessary, and in support OF
the war idea refers to the splendid condition of
the army and the immense resources of the
nation, both in troops and money. Napoleon
evidently "feels good" since the success
Of the latest loan, and probably, having some
new design for Interior territorial gain in view,
wishes to stand forth again as master or
arbiter Of the situation. Marshal Neil's ad
dress may be accepted as an excellent prefa
tory opening Of new phase in the mighty
uncertain policy of . very uncertain man.

The War In Paraguay-Reported Fall Of
Humaita.

The War In Parasuay-Reported Fall Of
Humaita.
The news from South America by way of
Lisbon informs us that the stronghold of Lopez
in Paraguay, Fort Humaita, had been aban
doned by the Paraguayans and taken posses
sion of by the allies. The tactics of the allied
forces, it appears, to reduce the garrison by
close siege and starvation had succeeded. It
is said that two hundred and fifty cannon, be-
sides great quantity of ammunition and small
arms, were left in the fort and fell into the
hands of the Brazilians and their allies. 1t is
reported, too, that the retreating Paraguayans
were hotly pursued, when four thousand of them
were cut off from the main body and captured.
Three Brazilian iron-clads had forced their
way through the distractions, passed the bat
teries on the river Parana and joined the feet
in the bombardment of President Lopezs posi-
ton at the mouth of the Tebicuari. 1t was
supposed that Marshal Caxias, the allied COM
mander, was able to command all the routes of
Lopez retreat and that the Paraguayans would
soon have to give up the war.
These accounts are detailed with particu-
larity and seem to have the impress of truth
But they come from Brazil, from the side to
which they are highly favorable, and may be
untrue or very much exaggerated. We have
had similar statements before from the same
source of Brazilian successes which have
turned out in the end to be unreliable. They
cannot be implicitly relied upon, then, till con-
firmed by news from the other side. The Para
guayans have fought nobly and against great
odds all through the war, and there has hardly
ever been more heroic defence of fort than
that of Humaitd. Whatever may have been
the faults of President Lopez, he has shown
great ability and has been the defender of re-
publican institutions and national independence
against powerful monarchy and an unholy
and unnatural alliance. Should he have to
succumb to this overwhelming combination it
might become the duty of the United States. to
see that republican government in South
America be not crushed out through the sue
cess of Brazil and her allies. Our Ministers
in that hemisphere should be instructed to care
fully watch the progress of events and to keep
the government at Washington well informed.

General Rosecrans' visit to the White
Sulphur Springs, Va, and his interview with
General Lee and number Of other Southern
leaders have led to great deal Of speculation
as to the object. After the matter has been
pretty thoroughly ventilated the facts appear,
at least some Of them that relate to the politi-
cal condition Of the country. There may be,
after all, some things connected with General
Rosecrans' interview with these representative
men of the South that cannot prudently be re-
vealed, particularly if these should relate to
Mexico. However, we must take the Gene
rails version of the matter. The emission" to
the White Sulphur Springs, as it has been
called, was, General Rosecrans says, zone Of
my own conception, and was inspired by
most earnest desire for the welfare of this
nation, for which am as willing to lay down
my life as any one who lives beneath our flag.
No party had anything to do with it, no indi-
vidual" 1t appears he wished to get from
the late Confederate leaders-such men as
General Lee and Mr.. Stephens of Georgia,
for example-men in whom the people of the
North have conidence-an expression of their
views on the political questions of the day, and
particularly as to the opinions of the South
erners on the negro and other issues affecting
the South. It appears, too, that a well con-
sidered statement was drawn up by these lead
ing Southerners and given to General Rose
Grams. This, probably, will soon be published,
as it was intended, no doubt, for publication.
1t will be emphatic, we learn, on the sentiment
of the South with regard to the status of the
negroes and the doctrine Of secession. The
Southern people, General Lee says, "regard
the question of slavery and secession as settled
finally by the war, and they have no DISPOSE
ton or inclination to re-establish the one or to
try the other again." All they want is that
the North should give them its confidence and
hand of fellowship, bury the Ratchet of Sec
tional animosity and discord, and permit the
intelligent white people of their section to have
fair chance in their own government. A
publication of such views from these leaders
would have a good effect, and General Rose
Grams, if he had no other object in view and
accomplished nothing more, will deserve the
commentator Of every lover of his country.

THE FIRST DEBATE IN THE JAPANESE
PARLIAMENT The Kioto Government Gazette
has reported the first debate in the Japanese
Parliament. The Inauguration of Parliament
tary discussion in Japan is in itself an event
Of equal novelty and importance. But the
most suspicious omen connected with this first
debate is the fact that, while most Of the MEM
bers Of Parliament took part in II, ''all made
very short speeches." We recommend the
brevity of the Japanese speeches to our own
Parliamentary debaters, and particularly to
the new fedged colored members Of the
Southern Legislatures.

Opening of the Theatrical season.

Openlu8 Oh tu0 GucatrlcuA SousOus
The theatrical season opens tonight, not ex-
actly as the chastely critical taste might desire,
perhaps, yet with evident vim and profuse dis
play Of bulletins. The first striking event
occurs tomorrow night, when Hendricks,
tragedian ofgreat repute in Germany, appears
at the Stadt theatre. If mongrel amusements
have driven the drama proper from our stage
and we therefore produce few or no great
tragic actors Of our own, IL is at least the next
best thing that we have left the taste to appre-
trials of other countries. Hendricks may not
have the pecuniary success on the east side
that attended Ristori on the west but if he
shows half the reason why people should ap-
plaud that has been seen in the genius of his
cOuntrywoman and predecessor, Janauschek,
his heart will be warmed by the reception he
will meet for hands can come together in the
Stadt theatre as enthusiastically as in better
decorated places. Aside from this promised
appearance there is no dramatic event much

promised to the drama, and opening with

ATTACK ON PUERTO CABELLo.-We learn
by despatch from Puerto Cabello that the in

adherents of Marshal Falcon, ex-President,
are holding the port of Puerto Cabello with
small force of five hundred men and eleven
guns, assisted by the war steamers Bolivar and
Maparari President Monagas was attacking
the city at latest accounts, but at considerable
disadvantage, for not only was the fire from
the batteries continuous and severe, but the
ships were playing terrible havoc with his
troops. We may probably learn by the next
news that he has been compelled to abandon
the siege.

Tho Atlantic and Great Western Railway.
We publish in another column an article
from an English journal relative to the revival
OF this great enterprise under the leading direc-
ton Of Mr.. James McHenry, the English finan-
cier. II will be remembered that Mr.. Mo-
Henry, Sir Morton Peto and others came out
to this country some time ago and undertook
to carry this railway through to the FAR West
with great sctot. But II will be remembered
also that soon after their return To England
great financial disasters befel the firm Of
Sir Morton Peto, resulting, very probably,
from embarrassments existing previous to his
visit here, and since that time the railway, Its
projectors and bondholders have been under a
cloud, and the whole enterprise was, in fact, In
daily peril.
But II appears that through the patience and
strong will Of Mr.. McHenry W danger Is

and by pitiful factious fragment in New York
of his own party. In ls4s, according to tho
party journals, we had in Taylor an old fool
and in Cass an old humbug to fight for, and
there IL no telling what the result might have
been had not Martin Van Buren, turned the scale
in New York against Cass on the free soil issue.
In 1852, strangely enough; poor Pierce carried
the election almost by reclamation as the
champion of Henry Clay's great compromise
measures Of 1850 against the abolition afRlia-
tions of the whig party; and next we find, in
1856, Fremont as the anti-slavery candidate
nearly successful with tho dead weight Of
Fillmore upon his back against Buchanan,
although the Fremont ticket by terrorism was
excluded from every slave State excepting q
few bold voters here and there In Maryland,
Virginia and Missouri.
We need not further pursue our recapitula-
ton. In looking over the list of our Presi-
DENTAL contests from 1928 down TO this day
1t will be observed that the candidate most
shsmefully abused has proved the most 40
ceptable to the people where the nght has been
made upon the merits of the candidate; that
great issues have sometimes defeated the CAL
culations Of the keenest politicians and have
resulted In some very extraordinary revolu-
tons at the polls, as in 1910 and 1852; that q
mere faction or third party decided the cleo
ton In lS44, AS and SO, and that since tho
time Of Jackson we have only had one Presi-
dental contestant Of 1S4O-in which the
result was morally certain from the beginning.

Progress OF Isnpeachment.

-
Special telegram to the Dispatch. "a
WASHINGTON, February 29-11B P. M.
Outside Of the proceedings in Congress,
n thing official has transpired to-day in
reference to impeachment or the War
Department imbroglio. The general sen.
timent is that the articles of impeachment
reported in the House this afternoon are
exceedingly weak, and all fair-minded
men claim that the articles utterly fail
to make the semblance Of cause for ar
raigning the President before the Senate.
1t is now discovered, also, by the
Infatuated impeachers, who expected
to depose Johnson by the middle Of
March, that they will be lucky indeed
if the trial in the Senate shall get fairly
under way by the first Of April. The
Senate has progressed about one-third
through the discussion of rules for trial,
and these rules are likely to be materially
changed, and in such manner as to give
greater latitude for discussion and exami-
nation of testimony than the impeachers
designed.
Mr.. johnson has not selected all the
counsel that be intends to conduct his de-
fence, but Judge Black, of Pennsylvania,
and David Dudley Field, of New York,
are retained as two of the lawyers for
defence. WALLACE.

TO bear. They dare not resort to caucus

ways to kill adog beside hanging him. i. Il
The exertions of the President to bring
the disputed points before the Supreme
Court have, and win prove. abortive. The
action Of the District Court on Stanton's
prosecution Of Thomas, is abundant proof
Of this. The McArdle case will not be
reached In time. IF there be any danger
of that withdrawal of the military charge
will be interposed. As soon as the writ of
quo sDarTanto shall be made returnable,
Stanton will present dilatory pleas. There
are, / hear, a thousand means Of staving
off final hearing, the case being in the
hands Of the yilest partisan wretches that
ever disgraced judicial tribunal. IF no
other resource is left, Stanton is pre-
pared, in obedience to the advice Of Fes-
sender and Grant, to resign, in order by
that means to evade decisive opinion by
the Supreme Court Of the United States.
In the mean time there are further ag-
gresssions in embryo. The moment the
impeachment question shall be settled the
bill enfranchising the negroes in all the
States will be pushed to its passage. Then
will follow an investigation into the do
mestic affairs Of Maryland, Kentucky, and
Delaware. Old Frank Thomas told a
knocked-kneed squatter of his district this
morning that the Constitution of Mary

under it, would be declared utterly null

sidential vote could be cast. So they 60.

Senate with a calm which is either sublime
or something very different. He either
has a just appreciation Of the situation or
no appreciation Of it at all. He has either
master mind or one which is totally in
capable of compromising and dealing
with the crisis into which he is thrown.
He really seems to have no apprehension
