suspension Of Diplomatlo Relations Be
tween the Government OF Brazil and
c.....p w.nh ~ ----.tf- - eAe trhf
We hasten to inform our readers In the very
beginning OF this article that things are all
right now. Webb and Brazil have embraced
each other fguratively-indulged the kiss Of
peace in most voluminous dispatches, and ere
this, no doubt, have danced a fandango of
mutual delight at an imperial ball. How
much better this than squirting at one another
of misty morning slong the level top Of
mahogany stocked pistols with saw handles.
A sore business that would have been for
Brazil. For, of course, there would have been
war, but that there is peace. You cannot
live on middle terms with man of Webb's
mettle. Hyou will not embrace him you must
blow his brains out. He will accept Of nothing
less He likes the excitement of 1t. He has
had his brains blown out now, to our positive
knowledge, not less than thirty-seven and
half times. That, no doubt, accounts for the
present difficulty; for he had so little brains
left that he could not carry on the simplest
negotiation without getting his dignity mixed
up with 1t, and when Webb's dignity gets mixed
up with anything there is an end to all pro-
gress. We are now so overpowered by our
agreeable emotions in rejecting that there Is
not to be war between Webb and Brazil that
we can only call attention to these eloquent
words of our high mettled Minister: 'Has no
other nation but that Of the imperial govern
ment just susceptibilities' to be offended
May not republic boasting of it's nearly forty
millions Of enlightened and intelligent freemen
be as susceptible to contemptuous treatment as
the imperial government Of Brazil, based
upon the institution Of human slavery2 And
is it not within the scope ofpossible conception
by the present ultra monarchical and reaction
ary administration Of Brazilian affairs that the
undersigned, the duly accredited Envoy Extra
ordinary and Minister Plenipotentlary from
the republic of the United States, may have
susceptibilities to be wounded quite as much
entitled to consideration and respect as are
the just susceptbilities' of the Minister Of the
imperial government in Washington" Every
body will perceive that Webb, in this passage,
carried away by the fire Of his fancy, forgot
that he was Minister and thought he was
writing slashing leader for the Courier and
ENQUIRER. Would not Brazil have felt terribly
when that number of the Courier and Enquirer
came out?

TINE ALLEGED PoSoEnc CASE.

Arrest Of DR.. Amand-Invsstisatieu Before
Coroner keenan,.
In the case OF James strappc. the young man who
died In Bellevue Hospital Is alleged, from the ef-
fects OF dose OF poison prescribed by Dr. Desire
Amand, Of No. 1l2 Bleecker street, nothing was done
yesterday by Coroner Keenan,, owing TO the absence
Of the necessary witnesses. On the warrant issued
on Sunday py Coroner Keenan, detective woodbridge,
of the sixth precinct, subsequently TOOK Or. Amand
into ustody at his place Of business On being In
formed Of the cause Of his arrest the accused post
lively denied oil knowedgs Of strappe or the cause
of hIs sckness or death. Dr. Amand is o native OF
france ana speaks the English language imperfectly,
ana it IA possible tnat in writing the prescription for
deceased lprovdag ne wrote It At alb that he made
a mistake and poison was put up by the druggist In
stead of the medicine Intended However that nav
he the real state OF facts probably will be developed
during the investigation, which is named for to-day.
n Ia said that the relatives or friends OF deceased
had called at the hospital MP TO last evening 70 make
inquiries concerning him. Efforts arc 10 10 made
70 learn something respecting his character, past
life, &C. In the meantime Or. Amand, VINO Is .
practising physician, remains IN duresa, awaiting
ne result of the lnquistttQn.

GERMANS IN THE PUBLIC Schools. s.-Our
German citizens are making some agitation in
regard 70 the public schools, and II is said their
object is to have the instruction their children
receive given in the German language. We
hope this Is not the case. Germans come here,
we hope, 10 become American citizens, and
they should at once adopt the language Of the
country. In case any Of their children know
only the German language, nothing In the
school will be Of so much value to them 70
learn as the English language. Let them
learn that FIRST, for all other learning Is Of less
consequence 70 them.

THERE was brakeman on top Of one Of the
freight cars In the Erie smash who ran to the
rear, leaping from one car to another as each
went down the chasm, until he was saved on
the rear car. Here Is fellow after Fisk's
own heart, possessing Fisk's own talent.
Fisk has been doing lately the same feat He
was on train that began to smash while ago.
He leaped from the Bateman bouffe car and
Pixies Opera House TO the Fifth Avenue
theatre, then to 'Pstrie, then to 'Lurline,"
then 10 two or three other boufYe companies,
then to the Pacific Railroad, and now he may
be saved on the Newport boat with band Of
music" from the grand jam, smash and universal
wreck OF the jubilee.

American Vessels Captured At Sea.
Our advices from Havana state that the
American schooner Lahave had been cap
tured In the sea passage between st. Domingo
and the east end of Cuba. She was from
Boston and laden with arms and ammunition,
destined for Hayi or for the Haytien agents
in Jamaica. She has been captured on the
high seas and taken to Havana. It is not
asserted that she had any expeditionary force
on board, or that the arms were intended for
landing in Cuba. Now, we wish to call the
attention of the government at Washington,
and particularly Mr.. Fish, Of the State Depart
ment, to these facts. Oiicially our citizens
know of no war existing in those seas, for
none has been proclaimed. In times when no
war exists arms and munitions OF war are
legal objects Of commerce, and American
ships have the right to transport them. Will
Secretary Fish endeavor to take an American
view of American rights, and have this search
and seizure on the high seas at once looked
intoa We know that his friends, the Spanish
would-be rulers Of Cuba, are in q good deal
of trouble about their domestic affairs In that
island, but we do not see that this should
entitle them to plunder American citizens and
refuse reparation. We trust Mr.. Fish will
find q little time TO devote to defending our
flag.

WALL STREET. The elements Of Wall
street were in state Of comparative calm at
the beginning Of business yesterday-thc
''bulls" and ''besrs" watching each other, but
seemingly disposed TO take rest after the
wearying struggles Of last week. The COM
bative feeling was too strong, however, to
allow o long truce, &c, they went at II again by
noon, when the ''bulls" were In the ascend
ancy. Then the ''bears" resorted to their
old trick Of tightening money, and the ''bulls'
hauled OF. The maneuvres extended TO gold
40 well as stocks so that the battle field was
not only an interesting but diverse one.

THE FRENCH TRANSATLANTIC CABLE.-The
steamship Great Eastern left the port Of Brest
yesterday, engaged in the highly important
work Of laying the French Transatlantic Sub
marine Gable. She Is bound for st. Pierre,
Miquelon, French possession lying Of Nova
Scotia. Should the ''paying OUT be success
fully completed-as no doubt II will, utilizing
the experiences Of the psst-both ends Of the
wire win be on French territory, and oonnec-
tions can be made afterwards 10 suit. The
promise ID hopeful 80 far. The more cables
the better.

HuRr.-A Western paper calls the radical
protectionist charge that David A. Wells 10
bribed to give Official reports force against pro-
lection as only continuation Of the old tactics
Of the other side. When the stakeholder could
not answer arguments against slavery be
used bludgeon, and when the radical cannot
answer the facts for free trade he takes the
broad and easy resort Of defamation. This
charge hits and hurts and the radical declines
To continue the controversy.

Half dozen Of the principal members of
the Cuban Junta operating in this city for
the liberation of the ''once faithful isle" from
Spanish rule were arrested yesterday even
ing under United States warrant and COM
mitted to Ludlow Street Jail. They are
charged with breach of the neutrality laws
in attempting to organize, "provide and pre-
pare" military expedition, having this object
In view, at q moment when our government
is at peace with that of Spain. The present
accusation refers to the preparing of a new
expedition. It would be useless just now to
enter into any heightened examination Of
the neutrality laws of nations, their intent
and scope, the most enlightened legal minds
differing widely as to the Interpretation. The
American government has ever respected its
treaty and international obligations, without
reference 10 technicalities; yet we know that
abroad--in England, for example-the judicial
authorities are not yet In complete agreement
on the question whether the Alabama was
privateer or regularly commissioned war
vessel. The cases of these Cuban sympa-
thizers may eliminate Q point on which to
base q clear decision 80 far as the United States
Executive is concerned. A general good
would thus be accomplished.

Tho Argentine Coufederasion.


We have received the address Of President
Sarmiento on the opening Of the session Of the
Argentine Congress at Buenos Ayres. 1t ID
marked in the main with good taste and evinces
most praiseworthy spirit Of public reform
and Improvement though we cannot sympa-
thize with the calling of President Lopez ''the
Paraguayan tyrant," nor do we so readily
admit that the allies were ''forced to fght" in
war which looks very much'like an attempt
at division of spoliated territory. But in his
domestic policy President Sarmiento has our
sympathy and our approval. His zeal in con-
structing railroads, telegraphs and other pub
lie improvements has inspired his country with
new life, which is already producing wonder
full results. As consequence thirty thousand
emigrants arrived in Buenos Ayres during last
year, and one hundred thousand are expected to
arrive in the present. President Sarmiento has
introduced many things from this country.
where he resided for some time as Minister,
among which he cites the new weapons ''of
deadly precision" with which he hopes to roll
back the tide of Indian war which has 80 long
devastated the Argentine plains. The follow
ing quotation contains q reminiscence OF
Washington and deduction which we regret
to see :-'In that proud Capitol which, on
hill at Washington, raises its cupola to heaven
as If in eternal record that the Congress of the
nation is the supreme power, the people, when
they mount its broad, marble staircase, pass
between lines of armed guards who are there
stationed to preserve that order due to the
place and the majesty of the highest Of powers.
In the presence of Congress and the other con-
stituted powers there is no people" The SEN
tnels were an incident Of our civil war which
we hope has passed away forever, and in this
country we claim that Congress is but the
representative and servant of the people.
