A MYSTERY STILL UNsoLvED-The popu-
larity of Greeley in this democratic city and
his want of popularity in the republican rural
districts. Some say that his bail for jeff
Davis and other things in that line will explain
It, others say that the old Seward Weed Nor
gan faction In the interior squelched him; but
we suspect that Grecley's failure among the
farmers may be set down to his refusal to stump
the State with Mayor Hall.

DESCENT ON A DlsoROsRlY HOUSE.

Last night Sergeant Dilks and officers Crosby, Bus
teed, Hemming and Robinson, acting on warrant
issued by Justice Connolly, OF the Fourth District
Police Court, made descent upon the house kent
by Caroline Barmore, alias Laura at No. IL Greene
street. The sergeant and his men, all members Of
the court squad, managed matters 80 cieverly that
no idea OF the object OF their visit entered the
minds Of the inmates visitors until they
formed that they would have 70 accompany the
officers to the Eighth precinct police station. Az
soon as this intelligence was given the
women residing In the house quietly proceeded
up stairs to cover up their "Black Crook"
costumes, and the men who were In the premises at
the time looked nt each other with peculiar stare
In which dissatisfaction very much predominaied.
The house was searched from top TO bottom, and

Dilks justly allowed to CO. The whole Of the persons

TONNAGE DUES In PoRro RIco.-We publish
to-day in another column q complaint that the
tonnage dues exacted from American shipping
in Porto Rico have not been reduced as they
have been to ships Of other nationalities. The
true cause of this exclusive taxation of Ameri-
can shipping in the Spanish ports of America
lies in the old retaliatory act Of 1928. This
remnant Of the long since exploded Crom-
wellian theory for the protection Of ships and
commerce is a blot upon our statute book and
a standing injury to our trade, and should be
repealed. We do not hope for much from
Congress now, as the prevailing temper seems
to be to do all that can be done against ships
and the shipping interest.

Newypaper Privileges.

A suit is in progress in Cincinnati wherein
a journalist is sued by public ofacer for
alleged libel, because, In discussing matter
of public concern, the officer was charged
with abuses and corruption. The case is not
yet decided, but from the tenor OF the argu-
ment it is likely to turn upon the point
whether malice was intended on the part OF
the journalist, the burden Of proof falling on
the plaintiff. This trial is an important one
to newspaper men as well as the people gene
rally outside the city in which it is being
tried. Take away the right Of the press to
discuss public matters and it would be difficult
to define into what hopeless condition the
administration Of public affairs would re-
lapse. With all the exposures of fraud and
corruption that now daily fill the columns OF
newspapers we find but little reform in the
operations of government oficials-high and
low-and yet there is no doubt that the fear
of such exposures has wholesome effect upon
those predisposed rascals who hate not the
moral courage to face the odium that attaches
to newspaper ventilation of official derelic-
tions. To assert that the owner of news
paper has not the right Of any other taxpay-
ing citizen to show up the abuses and
corruptions Of any servant Of the public is to
assert an absurdity, no matter what legal
twist the lawyers may give to the point
Deprived of such sentinel to sound an
alarm, of such safeguard to protect the in
terests of the community, all the public sewers
in the world would scarcely be sufficient to
carry off the volumes Of rank official corrup-
ton that would surge up around almost every
department Of national and local governments.
No, the vigilance Of the press must not be re-
laxed, especially in these days, when the
national Treasury is besieged by grasping job
bers and the State and city Golfers are but little
less than resorts from which rogues may fill
their pockets with the peoples money. The
verdict in the Cincinnati case will be looked
forward to with interest.

split I'm the RepublIcaa Purity south.

Split In the RepublIcnn Pnrty South.
A Georgia democratic paper declares that
the republican party Of that State is now
''hopelessly split in twain" One faction is
headed by Governor Bullock, who wants the
State again kicked out Of the Union, and the
other is headed by the Atlanta Era. The
Bullock wing had meeting at Atlanta on the
night Of the 10th and resolved that reconstruc-
tion was not complete in Georgia." whereupon
the Era AYERS that ''the meeting did not repre-
sent the sentiments of the republican party in
Georgia, and protests against the proceedings
of all such meetings. Now, what is the policy,
under such circums tances, of the conservatives
and all others who desire to see the South
relieved Of all disabilities and restored at once
TO her proper position in the Union? 1t is to
let these turbulent radical factions fight IL out
among themselves and the true men of the
South keep on raising good crops, making
money, becoming economical and developing
the resources of the country. The radicals in
the South--in fact, all over the country-are in
q state OF ferment about who shall retain and
who shall obtain Office under the incoming
administration. This win keep them busy for
some time to come, and in the midst Of their
quarrels the South will do well to remember
that when ''rogues fall out honest men come
by their own"

How TO DELAY YoUR CASE IN CoURT.-
Whoever is interested in the delay Of trial must
get his case into district court and then
demand the ''trial by jury" There can be no
denial Of justice, thanks TO Magma Charta for
that; but the district courts are not able to
give ''trial by jury" a. that institution has
been known and understood time out Of mind.
The district courts are made by statute, and the
statute prcscribes that they shall try cases
with six jurors, and these courts have no
power TO try cases in any other way, but
man has right to demand twelve, and II he
demands IL the court, as IL cannot refuse that
justice and cannot give it either. can only
stand stin.

A VETO FROM THE PREsIDENT.-The Presi-
dent has returned to Congress, with his veto,
the bill for regulating the duties on imported
copper and copper ores. Whatever may be
said of Mr.. Johnson's proclivity for. vetoes,
there is no doubt he has done right in vetoing
this bill, which was entirely protective one
for a class interest, and that, too, for very
limited class of the community, while the ship
ping and other interests were to suffer and be
taxed for its benefit The arguments or rea-
sons Of the President are conclusive and are
based on sound policy. 1t is to be hoped Con-
gress viii see this, however hostile it may be
to Mr.. johnson, and let the bin die under the
blow received.

the war In Paraguay.

The intelligence from Paraguay confirms
the views we have hitherto held that the fall
of the river defences would not be the end Of
the war. So it turns out. Lopez is as defiant
as ever, and has taken to the not distant noun
tains and called his obedient people around
him. From one little fact we deduce that they
will obey the call unhesitatingly. When the
Brazilian troops marched into Asuncion the
city was found intact-not thing displaced or
removed-and the remaining Inhabitants pur-
suing their usual vocation. Two hours had
not elapsed from the Brazilian entry when
every house had been sacked and the plumber
conveyed to the camp and ships Of the allies.
Had Marshal Caxias arranged with Lopez a
deep and consummate plan to give new life to
the waning cause better one could not have
been devised than the sacking Of Asuncien.
The vandalism Of the Brazilians will create its
impression in every hamlet and cause every
Paraguayan heart to turn with renewed hope
to Lopez. From this moment we date the de-
cline of the war in Paraguay and the march
of events to an early rupture Of the triple al
lance for its destruction. The allied efforts
depend for success ON the cooperation Of their
feet. This can act no longer on the offensive,
as Lopez has withdrawn from the river, and
may now assume desultory war, which must
keep the allied army and fleet ever on the alert
for defence.
Among the allies spirit of distrust and
even enmity to Brazil already shows ITSELF At
Buenos Ayres President Sarmiento objects to
the military dispositions Of the Brazilian COM
mander-in-chief, while in Montevideo the
popular feeling exhibits stronger develop
ment in mobs and stones. Meanwhile Brazil
begins to see that she is paying the whole cost
of extending Argentine sway over the Gran
Chaco and Parana, and that Uruguay is as de-
termined as ever to resist imperial encroach-
ment. These are but the premonitions Of the
coming rupture which the weakness Of the
Brazilian treasury tends to hasten, and thus,
in the moment Of Its seeming triumph, Brazil
exhibits the indications Of greatest weakness.

On L.ss.. New. from Japa..

A salient and suggestive point in our latest
news from Japan is the fact that the Mikado's
government has exemplifed Its independence
Of English and Frendh influence in the conduct
Of its internal affair by retaining ex-Lieuten-
ant Grinnell, Of the United States Navy, as
Chief Of the Japanese Naval Bureau, and by
appointing General Paul Frank, formerly Of
the United States Army and lately American
Consul or agent at Hiogo, as Generalin- Chief
Of the Japanese military forces, at a salary of
twelve thousand dollars per annum. The
Mikado's Foreign Minister stoutly defends this
Independent line Of policy in his protest
against the absurd remonstrances of the repre-
sentatives Of England and France. 1t is mani
fest that Japan, like China in the selection Of
Mr.. Burlingame as it's Envoy to the great
Powers Of America and Europe, is determined
to avail itself of American intelligence and
energy. The recent purchase by the Japanese
of another American steamer the Ashuel6t,
formerly employed in our revenue service, is
an additional proof Of the increasing readiness
of the East to open the door to American inno-
vations, the results Of which are now incalcula-
BILE. Steam, electricity, the printing press and
all the other agencies Of modern civilization
must eventually work prodigious revolution
in China and Japan. The people Of the United
States having been the first to make an
effectual introduction Of such agencies into
those distant countries, will be among the first
to profit by the vast commerce which China
and Japan must ere long send to our shores.
We are already recognized by the people Of
the East as their nearest neighbors.

man with mileage for every member he brings

have the bringing them in twenty times q

Our Abyssiniaa Correspondence.

The long and interesting letter which we
published yesterday from our special Abys-
sinian correspondent-the same correspondent
whose dispatches to the NEW YORK HERALD
from the front Of Lord Napier's army during
the late fierce campaign at Magdala startled
the slow British press from its lethargy and
furnished to the English War Minister himself
the earliest information Of Napier's success
gives graphic account of the present state Of
Abyssinia. 1t is noteworthy characteristic
of our Abyssinian correspondent that, respect
ing and sharing the common sense Of this pro-
sale age, he describes the lands and the people
visited by him just as he sees them and just
as they are. He does not indulge, like too
many romantic travellers looming from Turkey
and Egypt with the silks of Stamboul, cine
ters from Damascus and the chibouques and
nargiles from Cairo" in forid descriptions Of
the land of Latakia tobacco, perfumed remi-
niscences Of Damascus, bewildering tales Of
Palestine and the grand, mysterious sublimity
Of the Pyramids and Mother Nile. He says
that Bayard Taylor's travels, and Warburtons,
and Kingslakes s'Eothen" teemed with rosy
fbs. One requires rose-colored or blue spec
tacles to perceive the charms with which they
so lavishly bedaubed those countries; but he
wears no such spectacles, and while he vfvidly
reproduces whatever there may be picturesque
in the scenery, he depicts the people as they
appear to the everyday traveller-''the
flthiest and most degraded specimens of the
human race" The Photographic fidelity of his
descriptions may be relied upon.
FoR OR AGAINsT.-Pe eople naturally like to
know whether the men who represent this
State in the United States Senate are with
Grant or against him in the efforts he will make
to purify the government-that is, whether
they favor retaining the Tenure of Office law
or repeating it. The radical organ of this city
that shines for all sides says that Mr.. Conkling
is prominent in the movement" for the re-
peal; also that the said Conkling is "rapidly
gaining position of great influence and use
fulness among his fellow Senator'S" II the
latter part Of this account of Conkling is not
more true than the other that gentleman will
long continue the nobody be now appears in
the national council. The declaration that he
is in favor Of the repeal is simply untrue.
When the bill was upin the Senate on Satur-
day Conkling spoke against the repeal and in
favor Of retaining the bill in the form reported
from the Judiciary Committee by Mr.. Wilson,
of Massachusetts,. He declared his views,
moreover, with true Pecksniffian humbug-
Grant was man to be trusted; constraint was
not necessary, as against him, &C., &C.; but,
nevertheless, Senator Conkling preferred to
retain the law"

Is Poison HEALTHY? Y?-The gas men say Il
is. The Board Of Health, endeavoring to
abate the dreadful nuisance Of noisome smells
with which the Metropolitan Company makes
part Of the city scarcely habitable, is met BY
the company with absolute refusal and with 9
theory that the horrible odors set free are con-
ducive to health. If anybody is Ill let him
turn on the gas in his room, without lighting
it, and try this new remedy; for as the gas is
only about half purified the same substances
that make the nuisance are also in the pipes
1t seems, then, that the company feels rich
enough to insult common sense as well as to
violate the law.
