from the battlefield OF Charonea abandoning his

varicator."
The Government he thinks, has the power

collisions as have been formed or will be
formed against its
"To sum up nothing In the present situation
could disquiet firm and resoute government. Be
hind the voting bulletins which have astonshed
Europe there is not an idea, for no settled thought
can possibly be discovered in that coalition OF pas
sions, cupidltles, and anger, which we have before
our eyes In the midst OF democratic society like
ours, with the infinite division OF property and the
powerful organization OF the country, that coalition
could not, without the most signal folly brave the
reality, nothing redoubtabe but the shock OF ideas,
because they alone can produce devoutnes5 sacri-
fees, and heroism OF mind But at the epoch at
which we have arrived after century Of struggles
for the cause, and when the principles OF the
revolution have at length penetrated all minds and
moulded all conscences there are no longer any ideas
in presence
The real weakness of the present French
Government has been shown clearly in the
vigorous persecution of its enemies. 1t must
certainly be unpleasant for public men to be
criticized by the press or by orators who may
disagree with them, especially if they deserve
criticism. 1t is easy for such men, especially
if they have the power, to persuade themselves
that the public safety demands the prompt
suppression of such criticism. Some of our
own statesmen-members of the late Legsla-
ture, for instance-would very gladly suppress
the voice of public opinion if they dared, but
the principle has been wrought into our whole
social and political system that free speech
and an unrestrained expression of
opinion on all subjects are essential
to the preservation of free government.
If the empire were really strong, it would be
able to defy such troublesome gadhies as
Rochefort; but the annoyance which his
ridicule causes is, in itself, confession of
weakness, and the persecution which has
been directed against him is certain sign
of fear The empire is not founded on vir-
tue, nor is its chief end and aim the happiness
of the people. The aggrandizement of the
Bonaparte family, and the perpetuation of
the Napoleonic dynasty, overshadow every
thing else; and SO long as this
is the case, Imperialism is assailable
on every side, and the Emperor will ever feel
the ground sinking from under his feet, and
the fruits of his policy turn to ashes in his
grasp. In attempting to reconcile Liberalism
and Imperialism he has not succeeded on
either side; and his vacillations between con-
cessions on the one hand and severity on the
other only tend to complicate the situation
by increasing the number of his enemies, with
out gaining for him any friends, except those
who are influenced by self-interest and who
would not hesitate to desert him if it seemed
policy to do so.

NEVER SAY DE-It takes long time to
receive news from the seat of the war in Pa
raguay but the response of the Dictator
Lopez to a demand made by the allied COM
manders, as long ago as December, 1868, for
his immediate and unconditional surrender,
has taken n longer time than usual to
reach this part of the world. In this response
Lopez throws himself back upon his dignity,
and talks like a veritable martyr in the cause
of heroism and republican institutions. He
appeals very freely to the sentiments of reli-
gion, humanity, and civilization; styles him
self the elected ruler of his country; deplores
the blood which has been shed in so many
years of strife; places the fate of his country
in the hands of the God of nations; and finally
declares that he is ready to fight on until the
same God and his armies have decided the
definite fate of the Paraguayan cause. From
first to last the effusion is gotten up in the
extreme high-fying style, and taken altogether
it is, considering the source from which it
emanates, one of the most impudent docu-
ments that the present century will contribute
to history.

CABALLERo DE RoDAs, the new Captain
General of Cuba, who smiles so grimly and
complacently when he is styled ''the
Butcher, has arrived in Havana, and been
welcomed by the turbulent volunteers. His
first act, after taking up his quarters in the
palace, was to issue a proclamation to the
people of the island and the army and navy
If this proclamation is to be regarded as the
keynote to his policy, the fate of the Spanish
rule in Cuba is forever sealed. The basis of
his proposed policy, he declares, is embraced
in these words:-''Spain, justice, and moral
ity." But this announcement is followed by
a tender Of thanks to the volunteers for the
services rendered by them sin the cause of
order, justice, and public rights. The
bloodthirsty and vindictive policy of these
disorderly and arrogant adherents to the
Spanish cause is therefore fully approved by
the home government, and an attempt will
be made by the new Captain General to carry
it out to the fullest extreme This attempt
can result only in the complete and final
overthrow of the Spanish dominion in the
island, and when Cuba is once free from the
yoke of Spain, her annexation to the United
States will follow as a matter of course.

The RoTTENNEss OF DENMARK. The lead
ing journals Of Paris have come to the rescue
of King Christian. The Moniteur and Pdys
of yesterday contained editorials on the So
called ''sale" of the Danish West India Islands
to the United States, each of them kindly
advising us that our honor and our self-interest
alike demanded "a faithful execution of the
treaty with Denmark" To such advice the
Government of the United States will give
the most cheerful attention. The policy of
this nation, from the first day of its indie
pendent existence, has been a faithful COM
pliance with the terms of its treaty obligations
to foreign powers The only grievance that
Denmark now has against us is, not our
failure to comply with the terms of treaty,
but our refusal 10 make treaty. Denmark,
and all the rest of the world, for that matter,
is well aware that the Senate of the United
States must give its assent to a proposed
treaty before it is worth any more than the
waste paper on which it is written Neither
our representatives abroad nor our Executive
at home are authorized to pledge ratifca-
ton by the Senate of any treaty which may be
negotiated with foreign government. Great
Britain has as good cause of complaint be-
cause we rejected the Alabama claims treaty
as Denmark has, by reason Of our neglect to
ratify the bill of sale of st. Thomas and its
surrounding and half-submerged volcanoes
We have no use for any of themx we do not
want them; and, what is still more to the pur-
pose, we do not intend to take them at an
expense of 81, SOC, 900 in gold.

JUBAL IN BAD WAY.-General Jubal A.
Early, who made such good time in the Shenan-
doah valley, has grown no wiser in his day
and generation. He regards the proposed
constitution of Virginia as degrading to the
State in every conceivable fashion. There
fore, he advises his compatriots to vote
against it. He also regards the Walker State
ticket, from head to tail, as very offensive
but, being narrowed down almost to Hob
sons choice, honors it with his support. If
any Virginian has doubts of his duty in the
present crisis, let him read Jubal's letter. All
the unrepentant Rebels in the State are
arrayed in the support of the anti-Wells
ticket, and if it should succeed, even with the
ratification of the expurgated constitution,
the Old Dominion will be as far from being
reconstructed as it has been at any time since
the surrender at Appomattox. Letcher, or
Wise, or Extra" Billy Smith would be quite
as good as the degenerated oarpet-bagger
Walker.

June 12 1869.
MEssRs. FARREL, HERRING Il Co.,
q No. $40 Chestnut street, Philadelphia
Gents:-A persistent but unsuccessful effort was
made on the night OF May 20, 1869, to drill the
Bankers chest received from you a few month ago.
From facts that have come to our knowledge it is
evident that the attempt to open it was renewed on
Sunday evening following Finding all efforts to drl
it useless, the effort was then made TO break the
lock. The hammerng was heard by parties in the
neghborhood for several hours, but supposing it to
arise from the railroad men replacing defective
rail- excited no alarm The tools, with the exception
of the drills were left 1t is evident that they were
not only prepared but perfectly familiar with the
construction OF your Chest.
That they failed is another evidence that your
Bankers Chests are what you claim for them, Bur-
glar-Proof.

0ver-Population.

From time to time, timorous pills
osophers have been alarmed at the
prospect of over population, and
some persons, who perhaps are more
wicked than timorous, have express
sed conviction that no good can
arise from any efforts of theirs in
this direction, ut least, to the end
that their posterity shall have the
ability to make further addition to the
census. What we have been held by
the philosophers is this Should soci
ETY. be so improved as to give TO every
human being advantages for complete
mental culture and physical training,
and at the same time 50 reorganize
industry that few hours labor each
day will give ample supplies of FOOD
the grand result would be, first, such
q universal sense OF justice that war
would cease, and such knowledge
Of diseases hat common ailments, and
OF course pestilence, would be uu>
known and second, that the human
race would double itself every TWEEN
ty>hve years In twenty 1--we years
more it would double again, and thus
proceeding, 20 many people would
oxis. in few centuries chat the grop.
les, the deserts, and mountain places,
would be thickly inhabited. To make
further pIovisi it wilI then be nee
essary TO level mountains, to fill in
tho oceans; but even this will be onll
Il temporary remedy. for in twenty ]
five years more this new ground will
be covered over, and the end will
come with terrific struggles for lie
Therefore we are told that it is nec-
essary to keep the human race ia
check by a sufferance OF war pest
ience, intemperunce, and other salu
tary miseries. TO the philanthropiSt
and rct0rmer this seems "a discourage |
ing prospect, for ii is manifest that
the hour OF triumph will be the hour
of defeat.
