President Lopez, it is reported has received
from the Allies the offer of truce for the
purpose of opening negotiations for peace II
the report is true, the situation of Lopez cannot
have been 30 desperate as it was described by
the latest Brazilian accounts. Lopez has repeat
edly offered himself to enter into negotiations
for peace, and will therefore be willing to accept
the offer of the Allies, if it is not coupled with
dishonorable conditions. The change in the
conduct of the Allies is due, we suppose, to the
new administration of the Argentine Republic,
President Sarmiento, though a very decided
opponent of Lopez, being anxious to put an end
to the war, and to devote himself wholly to
the development Of the great resources of his
country

ceeded had he been their candidate, not ours.
II rested absolutely with Gen. Grant to decide
on which ticket to run; and he chose to iden-
tifv himself with that party whose convictions
accorded generally with his own. But this does
not preclude his asserting a large measure OF
INDEPENDENCE, as he undoubtedly will and should
do. This may possibly enable journals ike

Gen. Wilson's Steamship Subsidy bill is per-
haps obnoxious to fewer objections than most
of its tribe; but we protest against saddling
on our pOstage-payers generally, or on the
Treasury, the entire cost of the land-carriage
of letters and periodicals received from or sent
to Europe. 1t is not fair nor just. Let every
tub stand on its own bottom Pay the steam
ships fairly for the work they do but not for that
which it is impossible that they should even
undertake.
If we are to subsidize any steamship line
whatever, let it be one that connects our sea-
ports with those of the Spanish Main, touch
ing by the way at the most inviting OF the
West Indies. Europe will take care that we
shall have abundant intercourse with that
quarter of the globe. If we are to pay for
opening new avenues for Trade, let them point
toward people whose industry is ruder than
our own, and of whom we shall consequently
buy raw staples rather than costly and delicate
fabrics. We import these in excess already.

Little Greece, for the present, submits to the
demands of the Paris Conference. With France.
Austria, and England firmly allied to Turkey.
with Prussia yielding to the majority Of the
Conference, and Russia unprepared to oppose
it, it would have required an extraordinary de-
gree of courage on the part of Greece to re-
main in her defiant attitude with regard to Tur-
key. The people of Greece were ready to risk
their all against such fearful odds, relying only
on the cooperation of the Christians of Turkey;
but the foreign born King lacked courage
and sided with the Great Powers against his
own people. Thus the Eastern question stands
once more adjourned. The Cretans must dis
miss their hope for immediate deliverance, and
wait with Greece for the time when the
Christian tribes of Turkey shall have perfected
their organization and be ready for q general
and simultaneous rise.

Next we have another reason for an elaborate
organization of land, naval, judicial, and all
sorts of forces that can by any means be de-
vised to suck money out of the Treasury
for tho. protection of the fur-seals OF our

necessary and very economical; but we can't
help thinking this Alaska business likely to
turn out like the brass andirOns, the unlucky

-Dearaace OF certain of their friends-the
edge being taken of their scare not a whit
bythe attempts of two or more OF the
journals ofthe city 10 make light of so
dark a matter by the publication of ioky
paragraphs in reference thereto. That
the darkevs are not without reason for
their fright is evident from the annexed
extract translated from a French Journal
of Medicine and Surgery by a gentleman
connected with the Mobile Tribune:
INSTRUMENTATION 1t IS well
known, at least 10 the medical fraternity.
that about two years ago the celebrated
surgeon, De la BouEuerrebOuziere, OF
Paris, discovered a process by which the
human BODY may be paralysed ct will
all but the nerves of the eye, the brain
and the digestive organs, \ person I'M
der the influence of BOuguerrebouziere-
ism sees and thinks as usual, but cannOt
moves muscle. The great result achieved
bv the discovery consists ia the fact that
Il enables the eve Ofscieuce to observe the
whole process of digestion, by merely
ripping open the abdomen of the subject,
without pain TO the latter. But the poor
man sees and knows all the time that
GlFN 1AE EkfAA-AAA-5 @At Inv
Experience soon proved that negroes
were better subjects than white men, and
the consequence was that the Sd Regiment
OF the Corps d'Afrique, stationed near
was decimaUed in the curse Of a
few weeks during the spring of the pres
wear. The process Of BOuguerrebOu-
zierizing a negro may be accomplished in
"a few seconds Of time, and Us well when
the victim is asleep as awake. He is then
carried of as stiff as if he had ceased to
live. Those who have witnessed the
experiment express themselves as
touched to the heart al the sight Of poor
negro rolling his ewes in horror at the
Of the knife ripping into his
stomach"
OF course, the discovery IS attracting
attention among prominent scientists OF
this country, and, without any special
against the negro as a negro, they
feel DESTROYS Of securing the most desira-
BILE subjects through which to prosecute
their researches, and naturally seek
Southern cities as the best fields for the
BrocuratiOu Of such mQteTtcL. II is known
that the %ianitOr Of a prominent medical
Of Philadelphia WAS in the city a
few days since, and, It is surmised, on
this very business. The cOlored friends
OF those negroes who have been 50
stealthily snatched from among their EEL
owe il to themselves to Investigate
the matter, and ascertain whether or not
the bodies of their cOmpatriots do not
make hideOus the operating table Of

BARTLETT COURT.

EiitJr8 Appeal: / have seen circulating
on the streets to-day d petition for sign
crs, asking for tho establishment Of a Cir
cult Cour with criminal jurisdiction at
Bartlett Depot. I was gladto see that but
few had signed the paper, and observed.
too, that those who had given their names
were men who pay but little taxes. il is
not 10 be expected that men who pay
taxes would ask the establishment OF a
Court az bartlett where there is neither
courthouse nor jail, AMI 10 supply which
cur oppressed and taA-riddeu people will
be q once asked 10 pay 4 tax. We in
Memphis cannot build a courthouse for
ourselves, and have 10 submit to an ex-
pense OF some $4,000 per annum for reuts
or ccurthOuses. A portion of county
canaot be taxed 10 buiid the courthouse
and jail without taxing the citizens Of
Memphis. and I am sure our people will
not submit TO such taxation.
\ petition is also being circulated aud is
numerOusly signed, asking that the
Third Circuit Court" be established at
Raleigh. where the county has already In
good order a first rate courthouse and
iail." which will not cost the people one
cent. The county seat was here located
long before Memphis was n city. For
many wears the members OF u bar en-
joyed their visits 10 Raleigh with great
pleasure.
Many are the pleasant associations con
nected with the courts OF Raleigh. The
place is high and healthy, and the waters
OF mineral springs are celebrated for
their many virtues, and the courthouse
is accessible by many good roads. II pos
sesses all the necessary buildings, and no
delay or expense would be incurred by
the establishment Of a court there. The
Judge and Acknowledgement Of the Eff
tenth Circuit could attend the court and
dispatch the business of the county, and
no additional expense to the state would
be incurred. Cuba, COllierville, Ger
mantown aud Mechanicsville are all for
Raleigh. / am confident every thinking
man viii give his influence in favor Of
Raleigh over Bartlett. 40 argument is
really necessary. JUSTICE.

PERSONAL.

Mr.. n. ]. Miggin, of the firm OF Fran
cisco * Wiggin, has just returned from
New York, where he purchased a large
assortment of ladies' dress furs. This is
the third time Mr.. Wiggin has went
North this season, TO keep up their sup
ply of fresh and fashionable goods in
their line.
We had the pleasure last night of meet
ing and shaking hands with our old friend
Bob McWade, so well known TO, and so
highly appreciated by our theater-going
public last winter. Mr.. McWade has
been playing star engagements this sea-
son in the South and Southwest, having
brought out two new and original plays,
rip Van Wrinkle" and the Lilac
Blossom" The first, 1t is need
less to say, is a dramatisation
of Irving's great story, but entirely
different from that of Boucicault's
which Joe Jefferson has made famous, the
other a domestic drama in five acts. Both
have received the most enthusiastic enco-
mia of the press in places where they
hav g been brought out. The =" Rip Van
Wrinkle" Is especially admired, and We
must confess, from what we have read
and heard of the new version, it is one
much more likely to please a refined and
cultured public than that of Jefferson.
We hope Mr.. McWade will be able to
make arrangements by which the Mem
phis public, who know him so well and
appreciate his talent, may have an oppor-
tunity of seeing both Of these plays for
themselves.
