The PARAGUAYAN Wharf.-The Herald dis
patch published Saturday, respecting the OPP
erations Of the Brazilian commander, Marquis
Caxias, against Lopez, appears on examination
highly unsatisfactory. The intelligence such as
ills comes from Rio Janeiro by the mail steamer
which sailed Oh the 18th of March for Lisbon
and arrived on Friday. When the steamer
sailed the inhabitants of the Brazilian capital
were greatly excited about the rumored adj
vance of Caxias, who by the withdrawal of his
Argentine allies was left untrammeled to car
ry out his own plans His plans, as reported,
contemplated the maintenance of the Gordon
drawn SEINE months since around the Para
guayan position on the left bank of the Para
quay, and at the same time an advance through
the region known as the Grand Chaco on the
country is very little known, but has been I'M
derstood to be totally unfit for military opera
tions, heavily wooded, swampy region,
through which it would be impossible to move
artillery or cavalry and very difficult to march
with infantry. The rumor at Janeiro was that
oaxias, maintaining the line which his whole
army had been defending before, has since the
"ithdrawal of his allies found himself in force
W sehd troops through this swampy forest, in
oraer 10 cut off the Paraguayans from their
capitai ana supplies, and in short to surround
them we regret to find this story very inn
probable, but hope some better way of thrash
ing Lopez will yet be devised. ..-...ft

THE defeat of the Tory Ministry in the Brit
ish Parliament Friday night, or rather Satur-
day morning, on the Irish question, is an en-
couraging sign. 1t is another encouraging cir
cumstance that John Bright is talked of for
place in the next Liberal Ministry In spite
Of the melancholy forebodings of the owls who
talk of shooting Niagara" in England aud of
revolution and anarchy" in America, it is
more and more evident that in both countries
- essaat questions of the day are to be settled
in favor OF human rights and by the friends OF
progress. 1t is probable that Disraeli will ap-
peal to the people instead of resigning at once,
but that will only postpone his fall. What
people were thinking about this matter in
London two weeks ago appears in the follow
ing extract from the correspondence of the
New York Times: ~
have observed during this week thorough
and hearty revival of good and cordial feeling
among the Liberal Party. This will help them
to office as much as any other cause. 1t is good
to have q leaderwh shows his colors boldly as
Mr.. Gladstone did last Monday night. Now
comes his resolution on the Irish Church, which
is designed to throw out Disraeli and his mer-
ry men. You will know all about the result of
this coup long before the present letter reaches
you, and therefore there is no temptation to
indulge in predictions of any kind. We must
remember this, however, good many people
have tried to get Disraeli down in their time,
and they have all failed. They drive into a
corner, and he Immediately sloughs skin,
carries his body off all safe in another direction
| How often he is capable of renewing the
process no one has ever found out. The ser
pent only casts off its skin at intervals Mr..
Disrael can do it at pleasure. Moreover, he
shares valuable property in common with
that variety of the animal creation which is
called Doubles MarcbeurS, and which is so con-
structed as to be able to make progress equal
ly well in both directions, head or tail fol e.
most. This of course makes the gentleman
very hard to catch. The House of Commons
is not yet tired of Mr.. Disraeli, and it dislikes
Mr. Gladstone. Then upon the eve of gen.
eral election what is the good of turning out
government? All these considerations rem
der it very difficult even for the most know
ing Old politicians in the country to guess
what course affairs will take. s., f9t

GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIc.-We pub
lish on the first page of to.day's paper some
extracts from the rules and regulations of this
vigorous and worthy order, together with the
address of the Grand Commander of this De-
partment to the soldiers and sailors of Maine
Posts have now been established in Bath, Au-
gusta, Portland, Lewiston, Lisbon, Skowhe-
gan, Oldtown, Kittery, Westbrook, Gorham,
Windham, Brunswick, Saco, Biddeford, Rock
land, Damariscotta, Waldoboro, Boothbay,
Gardiner, Dover, Castine, and several other
towns, and the membership must include
nearly five thousand of the very flower of our
young men. A remarkable circumstance of
the growth of the order in this State is its vol
untary character. No effort has been made
to increase the number of Posts, but applica-
tons have been constantly received at head
quarters where dozen are now on file await
ing the action of the Council. The social and
charitable purposes of the association are nat
ural and praiseworthy and the declaration in
the third section Of the article on the "objects"
to be accomplished, to the effect that the or
ganization will not use it's influence for parti-
san purposes, removes the only objection
which could be urged against it. a va
