The Reported Craelties Of President Lopez Of
-44--.- a--~-4 Paraguay. aAas *. x. -
Porter C. Bliss and George F. Masternan, the two
members Of the American Legation who were seized
by Lopez just as they were about to depart with
Minister Washburn from Paraguay, arrived here this
morning. They give an account Of the suffering en-
dured by them while in confinement the statement
beng similar to that published in the New York
papers. They declare that the course Of our late
Minister. Mr.. Washburn, was the only one for him
to pursue with any hope OF saving their lives, and
they believe that had he not escaped they would all
have suffered the fate Of many Of the victims Of
Lopez. They feel deeply grateful to General James
Watson Webb whose action they say was in such
striking contrast with that OF the commander Of the
American South Atlantic squadron.
Letters received here by the last arrival from
Buenos Ayres from prisoner in the hands Of Lopez
at the time Of his downfall fully confirm all the pre-
uous reports as to his crimes He personally wit
messed the execution Of the brother and brotherin-
law Of Lopez, tho Bishop Of Paraguay, the Portu-
guese Consul the mother and wife Of Colonel
Martinez and the priest Bogardo. He also saw the
two sisters and the remaining brother Of Lopez shut
up in carts and driven away, and report says that
they too have all been executed.
Bliss and Masterman say they regard their treat
ment by the American navy as far more humiating
than the cruelties Of Lopez because proceeding
from the representatives Of civilized nation. They
are in Washington to ask investigation into what
they consider national disgrace.

hf'''c that case, e. he he felt compelled to say that
to give satisfaction In Pennsyvanfa an appoint
ment must be given to some man who had been
prominently Identified with the republican party and
an active politician To illustrate what ne meant he
said 1t must be no such men as George H. Stuart,
B0rie, Smith or West. General Grant instantly re-
piled he could not what objection any loyal man
could have to such man as George H. stuart, who
had done much for the country and was SO widely
known, Mr.. Mcclure then made some remarks
about the prospect; that such an appointment were
to be made the republican party would be defeated
in the PENNSYLVANIA election for Governor next fall
General Grant replied. II am not myself repre-.
sentative Of any political party although, political
party elected me-" General Grant concluded. IL

Settled.

A negro of Atlanta, Georgia, has been
fined fifty dollars for marrying a white
women. This settles the question OF
Georgia's status. She is rebellious to
the core, covered all over with the rot
tenness of treason. If not, the priyil-
eses of the moyap black man to marry
whomsoever he will, wherever and
whenever he has opportunity, would
not thus be abbreviated by bsrbarons
laws enforced by barbarian judges.
The races must be mingled it was the
grand object of the war to mix
the white and the black for the magnifi.
cent mulattoizing of the "freest people
on the face of the earth" the inheritors
of "the best Government the sun ever
shone on" Georgia, with her seces-
sion, her treason, her hatred of freedom
and all that sort of thing, must not be
permitted to defeat the legitimate re-
suits of the war. Let her be recon
structed from foundation stone to tur-
ret; submit her to
fire and sword and desolation,
For godly, thorough reformation.

The Knees Differ.

Two negroes, CHARLES Brown and
JACOB MERRIMAN, acting under the
presumption that WELLS would con-
tiuue to rule Virginia Notwithstanding
his late defeat, recently committed an
outrage on young lady near Front
Royal, in that State. On Thursday
night they were lynched. Thus 1t
may be seen that the, races
will differ on the great question
of human rights. These negro men
were clearly of the opinion that in per
petrating their nameless crime they
were merely availing themselves of a
right guaranteed them by "loyar bal
lots and legislation. The white men
who hung them took different view
Aad yet the direct effect of Radical
teaching is to incite the blacks to just
such crimes and to draw down upon
their heads the vengeance of outraged
public deoency.

A Rare spot.

They have at last discovered the place
for GRANT to 60. 1t is watering place,
and for his special needs is vastly su-
perior to Long Branch, or indeed any
other fashionable place of resort yet
visited by His Imperial Highness. This
rare locality is the Arkansas Hot
Springs, for the waters of which it is
claimed that they will not only destroy
the taste for liquor, but will clear from
oue's system, in a very short time, all
effects of previous dissipation. If
GRANT will 60 there with the determi-
nation to get cured and stay cured, the
country may be induced to forgive and
forget his junketting at other watering
places.

Revenge,


STOKES has gone to Washington, at
tended by body-guard of satellites, to
secure the removal of all the Federal
officers in Tennessee who voted for SEN
TER. He is laboring diligently with
boutwell, to secure his purpose. From
what is known of the character of the
soil he is working, it is fair to presume
that STOKES will reap his harvest of
vengeance. This, under loyal" man.
agement, is the end of American gov
ernment, to reward partfsanism and
punish patriotism. Loyalty" under
STOKES and BOUTWELL, means merely to
vote as they dictate. When this duty is
omitted, they know no higher purpose
of Government sthan to use all its ma
chinery for the humiliation and peraecu.
tion of those who fail to sell their con-
science. And this sort of " loyalty" has
become one of
The mightiest of the mighty means.

official business, and found the Commits

one present except a messenger, who
was unable to speak English under

of the Administration GEARY will GER

STOKES thinks the Administration in

when that influence is withheld the re-.

certain death. In either view of the
case, GEARY has q brilliant prospect
ahead of him.

DR.. MAGNI, Professor of Opthalnology
in the University of Bologna, Italy, has
gone to Lima, Peru, to operate for cat

dollars and expenses for the job. One
would think he could afford to operate
upon Niagara for that sum, but as the
Professor may be called upon to repeat
his title several times during his trip,
he will, no doubt, earn his hire. O.

The leading "loyal" objection to
PACKER, of Pennsylvania, is not that he
is rich, but that he acquired his wealth
honestly. Had he swindled the Govern
nent in shoddy or mule meat, grown
wealthy as revenue thief, or made his
money by some other "loysl" process,
he might have received the support of
the bulk of Penpsylvanian Radicals.
But he who becomes rich without steal
ing is standing censure upon the
loyal, .nabobs of the country and must

Female Labor

The National Labor Congress, at its
recent session, adopted the following
sensible resolution in regard to female
labor:
That this Congress recommend that
all the Trades Unions make immediate
efforts TO secure thorough organiza-
tion of female labor, and demand the
same pay for work equally as well done
by women as by men. Every avenue
of labor for which woman is physically
capacitated should be freely opened to
her on the same conditions as allowed
to any class Of laborers. We ask for
women equal opportunities and rights
in every field of enterprise and labor.

the most delightful and enjoyable
affairs we ever attended was
the Mannerchor picnic at Walters
grove, last night. Nearly all our
citizens were there and in song and
dance and jollity passed the happy hours
away. The grove was handsomely dec
grated with Chinese lanterns, and the
rockets red glare" and wheels OF
whirling flame and parti-celored fires
threw pale luna's beams into the shade
The whole affair was an immense suc-
cess, and when the Mennerchor "has

We left at midnight and the fun had
