A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE,

A writer 10 the Louisville Daily Times
who signs himself, 10. s. Leavitt. agent for
the Louisville Financial R-ic-m Associa-
tion," is out with programme as a substi-
tute for the principles embodied in the pixs-
form of the National Labor Union. H
says:
Though the views here presented differ some
what from the financial portion Of your labor
platform, they come so near 70 It that the col
lision, if any, must be very slight. Indeed |
have strong hopes that the Labor Congress at
its next session in Pittsburg, 10 Aususs, win
adopt this plan as amendment to theirs.
What these views are may be CLEANED
from the following extracts;
Q. To perfect system Of paper money two
things are essential: First, the pc rtect solven-
ey OF the maker, and secondly, tnat the notes
shall be redeemable in coin.
8. By so constructing the tariff as to pre-
vent the drainage Of gold to ether countries las
is done BY ali other great nations but this,) the
quantity Of coin may be reasonably expected to
increase each year, even under specie payments.
Make the greenbacks good money ~ coming
TO specie payments. Pay the bonds and stop
the interest. The coin thus saved will enable
the government to sustain specie payments.
II must also provide against the drainage Of
coin to other countries The internal revets
taxes, hsing needless, may soon be taxed OF,
leaving he government to BE- sustained, as
heretofore, by import duties.
From which it will be seen that "my
plan" bears as much relationship to the prin-
ciples of the National Labor Union as a
cats tail does to a meteor. When NJ. Lea
witt explains the benefits to be gained By
the producing classes by resumption cs
Peeie payments, We may have something
further to say. In the meantime, we leave
him to expound bis theory at his leisure.
or one fact, however, he can rest assured
that be has yet to learn-the rUdi-
neHts Of those principles he proposes TO

como to France when tho Emperor Napoleon
dies--and, looking at the precarious state Of
his health, this may occur soon-the social and
political conquest of this modern Semiranis
may establish and perpetuate the dynasty.
She has fascinated the monarchs and
statesmen Of the world more than ever
that great diplomatIst, Maria Theresa
of Austria, did, She has outlived the
calumnies with which she was assailed at tho
time she became Empress, and is to-day the
most popular woman In the world. With the
people and governments in her favor she may
become the real ruler of France, should Napo-
leon die before the Prince Imperial attalns his
majority. All the conservative elements both
of France and Europe would favor that, and
she may by her extraordinary tact and fascina-
tions hold the fierce democracy in check. She
may, like Semiramis, lay solid foundation
for her son to ascend the throne, and then,
having established the dynasty, become more
famous than the Queen Of Assyria, who In
some respects was her prototype.

viii also apply tho injunction against putting
new wine into old bottles. His political race
Is run. New men and new ideas are wanted
for the outside party at Washington.
The New York democracy may justly claim
the right to lead OFF in the reconstruction Of
the party on a new national programme; for
New York is about all that is left in the North
for the party to swearby. Tammany may right
fully claim and assume the position Of the old
Albany Regency, and Sweeny Is the man for
chief engineer, from his skilful management of
the operations Of Tammeny in this late contest.
His FIRST object now, we suppose, will BIO to
cut out the work for the new Legislature, in
conjunction with the other sachems, the State
Central Committee and the Governor but OF
the same time he should not forget that New
York did not elect Seymour, and that upon Che
issues of 1864 and 1868 the election Of 1872
will be the same old story. The old line demo-
Gratis Of Virginia in adopting negro suffrage
have pointed out the right road for Tammany,
and in General Thomas, Of Virginia, the demo-
cratic party of the North have the man who
can restore them their old Southern balance
of power.

Of most sanguinary battle which had just
been fought between two powerful native
royaliss on the west coast. The magnificent
reception accorded by the Sultan of Turkey
to the Empress Of France In Coustantinople
is described, and the incipient congregation
of the Catholic prela!es for the Ecumenical

SPANISH Reconnaissance OF PoRTo RIoo.--
Evidently the Spanlards are not satisfied
with the condition of affairs in Porto Rico.
The latest mail news from Havana Informs us
that several flying columns Of infantry have
gone out to different parts Of the island. For
what purpose? may be asked. Has not Porto
Rico been comparatively tranquil notwith-
standing ito close proximity to the rsvolu-
ton In Cuba? Perhaps the quietness apparent
Is only well affected seeming, and there is
more reason to fear an outbreak among the
Porto Ricans than Is generally thought.
Under any circumstances the plan Of sending
body Of soldiers to march through peace
full country Is an unwise one Wills IL will
not awe the discontinued it will tend largely
to weaken the confidence Of tho people in the
government that resorts to such means OF
intimidation to compel submission and stile
independence. II discomfort be widespread
In Porto Rico 1t Is not of recent growth, and
the very silence In which It has been enveloped
renders 1t Of more formidable character than
the Spanish officials will readily admit.

Convention Of postmnstcrs &C WASH
in9t0n.

Convention Of postmnsicrs &C WASH
Mr.. Creswel the Postmaster General, has
summoned tho postmasters OF several prlnci-
pal cities to Washington in order to confer
with him on the subject Of postal improve
ments. Ho proposes to reduce the charge
on registered letters from twelve to six cents
q desirable reform, which will extend the
advantages Of the registry system to all
classes in the community-and to substitute
free deliveries in oil cities for the present
system Of private boxes-another reform which
the Postmaster General thinks will save much
time now daily lost In the distribution Of letters.
1t Is to be hoped that this convention Of
postmasters viii improve the opportunity to
discuss other reforms equally desirable which
must at length be adopted as practicable
and important. We need not repeat the argu-
ments which are now familiar to all in favor Of
cheap postage, both by land aid by sea.
Experience has proved Its inestimable bene-
fits both in Great Britain and in the United
States, and experience viii soon have demon
strated the advantages Of the Post Office
telegraph system, which Is now being
thoroughly organized In Great Britain,
and which, sooner OF LATER must be
introduced throughout our vast republic. The
constitution specially provides that Congress
shall have power to regulate commerce with
foreign nations and among the several States
and with the Indian tribes, and also to estab-
lish post Offices and post roads. Here is the
basis for ample authority to establish and per-
feet a general post Office telegraph system that
shall not only be an efficient fundamentally
for the development and extension of the ma
terial prosperity Of the nation, hut alsso pow
erfM agent ip perpetuatins its unity. Already
no railroad is Of much aocou.. wniah Ia COM
fined within the limits Of single State. And
when State lines shall have been virtually
obliterated by network Of railways and tele-
graph lines and cheap postal communications,
covering the full extent of the country, the
United States will enjoy permanent right to
be called by that title. The Union could not
then be even temporarily dissolved by the
action Of South Carolina or Massachusetts,, or
Ohio or Utah, or any other single refractory
State. The people Of the United States would
then necessarily sdwell together in unity"

The Paraguay Puzzle.

What is the truth in regard to Paraguay
Lopez, Minister Washburn and the others
whose names are tossed to and fro in bitter
controversy? Is Paraguay fighting for her
liberty against foreign domination, or are her
people only forced into the trenches at the will
of tyrant? Is Lopez monster Of iniquity
and Messrs. Washburn and Bliss angels of
light, or is 1t "the clean contrary way2" Here
are some of the troublesome problems that
may rack the brain of the person who shall in
the future be compelled to write the history OF
this South American war. In another column
we give two communications from Mr.. Porter
G. Bliss which present his side of the case in
strong language. Mr.. Bliss Is one of tho gen.
tlemen, we believe, against whom Lopez made
the same charge as that made against Mr.. Wash
burn-that he was in a conspiracy against the
government. Lopez, believing this Of Mr.. Bliss,
made Paraguay very uncomfortable country
for him, and he came away with great deal
Of accumulated indignation. He is now en-
gagged in venting this, apparently, and the
present instalment takes the form Of q
windy indictment Of Minister Mcmahon.
Mr. Bliss, az we have said, uses strong Ian
guage, and such as should call forth responses
from Admiral Davis, Mr.. Washburn and
Minister Mcmahon. For our own part, we
do not believe the statements Of Mr. Bliss, and
especially we do not accept his view that the
struggle must necessarily end adversely to
Lopez. This is q subject, however, that is not
to be discussed In the distsmpered style that
Mr.. Bliss uses. It ID sufficient for the public
that the sympathiss Of our people are, a. they
ought to be, with Paraguay In this war and
we could not require that the leader Of the
struggling people should turn aside to study
the little conveniences Of Mr.. Bliss.

The Secretary Of tho Treasury md
-Four Per Cent Loan.

There h q rumor from Washington that the
Secretary of the Treasury contemplates pre-
pairing for four per cent loan, with view Of
reorganizing the national debt on that basis,
and that he has sent an agent to Europe to
negotiate for part of this loan. This state
ment or rumor may be only rehash Of the
suggestions we have made several times to
Mr.. Boutwell, to prepare for reducing the
interest on the debt and now put in the shape
of authoritative news for the sake Of sensa-
ton. Or the Secretary may have the good
sense to act upon these suggestions and be
preparing = :ss----y hem out. OF course be
cannot have sent al aGens to Europe with
authority to negotiate loan, for Congress
must give him the power. Still, such an agent
might sound the capitalists abroad SO as
to obtain useful information for the
guidance Of Congress aud the Treasury
Department. II such loan be contemplated
of course the best terms should be accepted,
whether they be offered abroad or at home,
and it Is probable they would come from
Europe, as money is less valuable there and
the rate Of interest much lower than here.
But 1t would be the best policy to keep as
much of the debt at home as possible, and
thus prevent the continual drain of specie to
pay interest to foreign holders Of our securl-
ties. In recognizing or consolidating the
debt this should be kept in Wow though, as
was said the best offer should be accepted,
lot 1t come from whatever quarter 1t may.
The form Of the debt can be made go as to
induce large class of our own citizens to
take it in small quantities, and to hold it az
permanent investment, or, to use q homely
expression, as a nest egg. The surprising sue
cess of the Emperor Napoleon in some Of his
loans, which were placed among the mass Of the
French people, might give Mr.. Boutwell, an idea
how to proceed. 1t Is gratifying to see this
suggestion of reducing the interest on the debt
taking hold Of the public. mind. 1t is to be
hoped Congress will, during the next session,
act upon this Important question, and thus
give relief to the taxpayers of the country by
a reduction of the enormous interest they now
have to pay.
