The Paraguayan DimcuIty.


The Navy Department is IN receipt Of
dispatches, in detail, relative 10 the surrender of
Messrs. Bliss and Mastermaa by the Paraguayan
authorities. On the Sd of December Rear.Ad.
mifal Davis, in his flagship, anchored under the
Paraguayan battery at Angostura, and imme-
diately communicated with Lopez whose head
quarters were six or seven miles in the interior.
Lieutenant Commander Kirkland, the bearer
Of the message returned with an answer that
Lopez desired to confer with the Admiral in
person, and for that purpose would come down
to the river bank. Lopez appeared at the lower
battery, and an interview of three hours dura-
tion was had with the Admiral. All the points
bearing upon the matter were discussed and
the AOmiral reports that throughout the inter
view the manner of Lopez was concliatory,
courteous and frank, while he continued to
declare from time to time his intention TO accede
to the request for the delivery on board OF the
United States vessel of Messrs. Bliss and
Masterman.
Some correspondence ensued on subsequent
days, and on the night OF the 10th December,
at IL o'clock, Messrs. Bliss and Masterman were
brought to the flagship in native canoe.
These persons having been delivered to the
United States, General Mcmahon made ptepa.
rations to land on the subsequent day and
present his credentials, but the battle of th at
day prevented. He, however, landed on the
18th, and was received at the landing by several
officers of President Lopez's stat, ana proceeded
directly to Lopez's headquarters.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.
President J0hnsOn's Nominations.
Az one o'clock to-day Senator Cameron moved
for an executive session, and notified the Senate
that he desired to know whether they intended
TO confirm any more appointments this session.
The ayes and noes we're ordered, and the vote
stood 27 against to 20 for going into executive
session. This shows a determination on the
part Of the Senate to adhere to the wishes of
General Grant, who is opposed to confirming
any of Johnson's nominations.
Old Tools for the Navy Yards.
The Committee on Naval Affairs having re
ceived information that large amount of old
tools purchased from Roach & Son, New York,
similar to those purchased for the Philadelphia
Navy Yard, were at the Navy Yard IN this city,
proceeded there in body to examine for them
selves. 1t has been reported to the committee
that these tools are part of the contract made
with Roach & Son by the authorities of the
Philadelphia Navy Yard, and that they we're
sent here because they were not needed at PHI

Letter from Benton Ceunty-The MIL
fia net Wanted.
An old citizen OF Benton county, in
postscript to business letter from Cam
den, under date Of the I'd inst, says:
"a good deal of uneasiness is manifested
here in consequence of the report circula-
ted, that We are to be taxed with the mill
TIA. The loyal men of this vicinity and
county, have drawn up and signed petit
ton to the authorities requesting that we
have no militia, which petition will be pre-
scented by w. K. Alden, loyal citizen of
our county, who has been delegated for the
mission, and will start for Nashville in the
morning, as lam informed.
"Why militia should be quartered in this
county would be impossible for any man
to conjecture, unless it should be desired TO
stir up strife and confusion, for there never
has been time when better feeling ex.

country than row since 1 have been &C.

what do, cannot believe the authorities
at Nashville will 80 upjustly place such
an evil as the militia certainly would be
in our midst. If We are all peaceable,
happy, contented and submissive to the
laws, why disturb US? The officers of this
county have no trouble iu enforcing the
law. Our Jail is without tenant our
Circuit Court docket has not criminal

taking these circumstances altogether,
which are strictly true, what an unjust and

THE sHoorIse OF HORSE THIEVES

n u SAAVO " OE NURSE u IA 4 y LIZ
IN DYER COUNTY.
We have already published a telegraph
ic account ofthe lynching of five noto-
rious horse thieves by the people of Dy-
ersburg- The Memphis Appeal of Tues
day has some additional particulars,
which we copy as follows:
The probability is that the law would
have been suffered to take its course, but
the two Evans, with unparalleled efron-
terry, threatened the magistrates in Court
and all five of the prisoners boldly de.
clared that if they were punished they
would wreak vengeance against the
whole community. There threats, Of
course, had the effect of rousing the feel
ings of the citizens against them, especial
ly those who participated in their arrest
originally, as it was against them that the
prisoners directed their threats prinei-
pally.
Nothing was done, however, and the
prisoners were remanded to jail for safe.
keeping. About NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. q
little alter body of men numbering at
least 100 surrounded the jail, took the
prisoners out, and after giving them a
few minutes for preparation shot them
to death.
| The citizens engaged in this act were
of all shades of politics, and were among
the best men in the county. The Lead
ing man, indeed, in the whole affair, was
a former Radical member Of the Legisla.
ture. They were not disguised in the
slightest, and seemed to justify their con-
duct and glory in it
Since writing the above, we have res
ceived a private letter from friend in
Dyersburg, from which we make the fol-
lowing extracts:
"These men (those executed) were
supposed to be the leaders of gang of
horse thieves who ranged through Dyer
and the adjoining counties, stealing stock
Unfortunately. They were connected,
it is supposed, with a central organiza
ton, whose ramifcations reach from the
Gulf to the St Lawrence, and which en-
braces in its ranks men in every station
OF life. The Renos were members of it,
and the men who lately robbed Col Ga,
vert, at Jackson, Tenn, and whose bodies
were found swinging from tree at Car

with an arm full of new halters, which
he was dividing out to body of men as

While we deprecate lawlessness, we cans
not but think that the death of these des-
peradOes is benefit to the country.
SiHce the lynching of the two men at
Carroll station, robbers have almost
ceased in that region, and it is hoped
this shooting will have like salutary
effect "
