Since the close Of the war, Republican
ism is conceded to be imprac5ic2ble in
one half Of the Union, and has there
been eUcceedej by tbe vsciiating rule Of
fanatic bAyoBets. The power has fallen
wholly into the hands Of the mob who
threaten to sully the American name by
cheating the nations creditors. Public
Offices are sought only for the facilities
for public robbery which they afford
the restraints of law aad decency are

the fragments Of the ruined Republic,

ward an ignoble military despotism.

CUBA.
Brutality and RufEianism Of the
Spanish Troops.

From the Philadelphis Press.l
The Spanish troops ia Cuba are daily
violating all the rules of civilized war
fare. Men are shot down in the streets
and at the doors OF their own houses, WO
men arrested, insuted and thrown into
prison, and even children subjected 70 the
rude and guigsT conduct Of the licen-
tOus sOldieTy. There is no Law OF re-
dress for q CubsU. 70 be born on the
island is sn inexcu5able crime 10 the
estimation OF the Spaniards, and they
exhibit their testing in the most barba-
rous manner. Recently an Old gentle
man, uErned Don Juan de Dies Castel-
limos, living pear Cienfuegos, was m1r-
dered bp the Spanish volunteers. Two
Of the sons of this gentlemen had Joined
the patriots. This was a damntng Of
fense, and the gallant volunteers, to the
number Of one hundred or more, went
to his residence and buteheTed him in
the presence OF his daughters. Not con-
tent with this, they prohibited any
one from visiting the house or assisting
ia performing tie last offices to the
O ad, and il was nOt until five days Stter

the late battle, which took place between

that several American expeditions have
already landed on the island has, no

BRAZIL Ard PARAGUAY.
Propositions for & Settlement Of
Present Disputes.

A Commissioners from Brazil is now at
Assuucioa, empowered to negotiate q
treaty Of peace with Lopez and bring
the war TO close. The conditions Of

shall not be impaired, the freedom OF the
navigation of the Paraguay and La
Platte rivers shall be guaranteed, and
Lopez to renounce his claims to portion
OF the Chaco territory and tbs province
Of Matto Crosse. In other words Para.

successful, and Be zil enriched by sys-
tam of territorial absorption like that by

Emperor Of Brazil proposes that Lopez

WHISKY.
Cincinnati and Washington Gem
troll the Market.

From the New Orleans Times
A recent paragraph 10 this paper rels-
tive to Cincinnati whisky has excited
good deal of comment. When whisky,
over and above the cost OF production,
has to pay sixty two cents per gallon
internal revenue, stamps and other
charges-it cannot be honestly sold Ia
this market at eighty cents per gallon.
Yet that is the price Of Cincinnati
whisky here to-day. The Cincinnati
whisky ring have always bsen opposed
to the New Orleans distillers, and when
the tax was two dollars per gallon they
managed to sell their whisky at an sv-
erage price Of about 81 50 per gallon.
Somehow or other the Cincinnati men
had the ear of the authorities in Wash-
iugton, and any attempt to seizs their
whisky st this point was frowned down
and repudisted. At such q game Gin
cinnati and Washington could beat New
Orleans, and Cincinnati and Washi1g
ton consequently controlled the market.
The treasury detectives WeZe always en-
cours2ed and supported ia the seizure Of
New Orleans whisky, but with Cincin-
natl the case was altogether different.
Thus has il bsen for years: Cincinnati
has been favored by the powers that be
and New Ofleans has been depressed.
As matters now stand, all our distillers
have been obliged to suspend operations,
for it is impossible for them to conduct
their business honestly with favored
Cincinnati az q competitor.

country now ruled by Lopez. This is
the bait by which the allies are to be
booked and landed. The po icy of the
ruler of Brazil is to restrict sli hostile
States; while. at the same time, expand
ing his own Kingdom and power. When
Lopez is chained and poWerless, what
safety is there for the Argentine Repub-
lie and Uruguay? These States lie con-
tiguous to Brazil, and the ambition Of
the Emperor Of that Kingdom points to
their absorption as we'll as that Of Para
quay. The allies, in siding to crush
Lopez, may be digging pit into which
will be cast their own power, authority
and greatness.
