LOPEZ.

Four kilograms by various ways, TWO VI WHICH
we print to-day, concur in the general report
that Lopez has been signally beaten, ana mas
fallen back or fed. The announcement OF Ills
defeat ot his stronghold of Ascurra is followed
by statement of his rOut at Curugua'y l"ni0n
is not TO be confOunded with former palIIe-
field of Curupaity), with loss OF one thou,
sand men killed and twelve guns, supplemented
by his further disaster at lgnacion, where tnc
Allies took from him twenty-five guns. Ihese
facts being granted, we can readily UNDERSTAND
that the impromptu Government at ASuhclon
has declared him an outlaw. Count Eu VIII
have gained an honorable and not common
laurel as an energetic and sklIlful cOhlihahoeI
for the asserted victories could not have oeeh
achieved, we fancy, without intelligent stiite-
gic combination against subtle ana banning
adversary.
The probabilities are that the backbone OF
the military power of Lopez has been broken at
last. He may remain at the head OF yaga-
bond band. and, in the default of administrative
ability at Asuncion, gather influence in time
and work mischief; or he may be caught, ana
there be an end of him. Thus has come 10
most desperate pass the irOn-wllled leader oil
one of the most rcs0lute contests OF history
a murderer with some OF the talents oil
Caesar, and with the impending fate OF an
outlaw. Since ex-Miuister Washburn has
renewed his accusation that Lopez tor
tured and shot his brothers and brothers-ln-
law, and logged his sister, besides numbering
cabinet officer, chief Justice, thirty priests,
and some othcrs-and since these enormltIes
seem not to want the most tragic confirmation
it is not probable that any sympathy VIII

But the plague-spot Of the State thus
far has been the town of San Juan, in
Monterey County, some 100 miles from
San Francisco. The town contains
about 1000 persons. The alarming ac-
counts Of the mortality in San Francisco
and Gilroy excited some apprehension,
and m effort was made to prevent the
appearance of the epidemic in San
Juan. A man came down from the
grape growing district Of Sonoma
County, and registered his name in the
hotel. When questioned concerning
the smallpox in the north, he acknowl-
edged its fatal virulence, and said that,
fearing he might catch it, he had taken
the %precaution to be vaccinated before
leaving home. In "a hours his arm
swelled to tho size of his body, and was
covered with gangreuous sores. An
examination by the physicians resulted
In the discovery Of the fact that the man
had actually been inoculated with the
most malignant. type of the smallpox.
He died, a sickening mass of putre-
faction, within forty-eight hours, and
was buried at midnight. Steps were
taken on the instant to prevent the
spread Of the disease. The dead mans
blankets, underclothss, and outer gar.
ments were burned but, unfortunately,
some school children discovered the
half.burned rags, and caught the infec-
ton. In one week numbers Of them
died, and the disease obtained n firm
foothold in San Juan. Out Of a popula-
ton OF one thousand, four hundred
wore taken down with smallpox, and
of these four hundred persons one hun
dred and sixty died.
This is n fearful rate Of mortality, and
| doubt whether the annals Of this loath-
some disease car surpass it. In some
country towns, away from the reach Of
skillful doctors, and where tho proper
medicines arc scarce, two-thirds of the
cases prove fatal. Throughout tho
State the mortality has been unprecs-
denied.
! have thought it my duty to give
your readers this information because
of the disposition throughout California
to keep the whole thing as quiet as pos
sible. 1t is proper that people intend
ing to come to California from the
States should be made acquainted with
tho facts, md I send them to you earn
estly hoping that you will place them
before your readers. The truth has
been too long concealed.

A Terrible Revelntlon.The Smallpox In
California;.

from the Y. Y. Sun OF February 3D.
SAN FRANCISCO, January l2.-Early
in December the smallpox broke out in
this city. At first but little attention
was paid to it beyond the ordinary
course of vaccination. But the disease
grew virulent and many deaths &C.
Cured. Through some fearful mistake
numbers of persons were vaccinated
with impure matter, and the ordinary
medical treatment seemed to have
scarcely any effect upon the disease.
So fatal wsro the ravages that public
attention was Immediately drawn 10 it.
The people became excited, and q
large meeting was hold to devise means
to stop the spread Of the c%ontagion.
The proceedings of this meeting were
published in the San Francisco journals,
but they were toned down to n mode
rate degree, through fear Of affecting
the usual winter and spring tide of i'm
migration. People seem disposed to
cover up tue fearful ravages Of the dis
ease and to conceal its deadly chnrac-
tor. The streets arc filled with fune-
rails, and the grsve-digger has his hands
and graves full. In some cases burials
are made by night.
Despite every precaution the con-
tagion remains as deadly as ever, and
though it can scarcely DO said TO be in
creasing, its decline is hardly perccpti-
BILE. All the pest.houses arc full.
Fathers aud children, mothers, brothers
and sisters expire daily, and nearly
every person in the city has lost some
acquaintance or relative. The Chinese
have suffered terribly. Their native
doctors have neither experience nor
common sense in the treatment of the
smallpox, and, as a natural conse-
quence three out Of every five of their
patients run into eternity.
But the rayages of the epidemic are
not confined to San Francisco. Nearly
tho whole State Is infected, and some
towns have been decimatcd by the pes
thence. Thus far, Sacramento, Mnrys.
yille and Stockton have escaped the
malignant type of the disorder, but it
has run through the lower counties Of
the State like n murrain. In Gilroy
and Los Angeles the disease has been
fatal beyond precedent, and San Fran
cisco can be called reasonably healthy
when its death rate is compared with
those of the formor towns. Some Of
those affected appear to rot by inches,
In spite of every available prescription.
The physicians stand aghast. In some
cases vaccination seems to have lost its
power, and men, women and children
with vaccine scars on their arms rs
large as twenty-shilling pieces have
fallen victims to the epidemic. Hospit-
ais have been hastily furnished, and
every effort has been made in these
towns to stay the progress of the dis
ease, but thus far with but little effect.
Whole families have died. In one in
stance, a father and four children died
within "a hours, and in II hotel at Los
Angeles ninc persons were buried with
in a week.

WHAT NgSr when the thieves
boldly enter tradesmen's offices and
garrote and rob them in broad daylight,
what shall be done? Let the Police
Commissioners make the reply. Such
is the audacity of the thieves who now
infest New York, and who are said to
be Of recent importation from the slums
Of European cities, that the plaiuest
narration Of their exploits seems like
exaggeratiau, and were it not for the
testimony Of our own trustworthy re-
por.ers, we could scarcely credit the
stories hat are told by our policemen.
Such, for example, rs the following /:
At about CT o'clock on Saturday after
noon two strangers entered the office Of
Mr.. Andrew Pressy, at . Coen,ies Slip,
and made an attack upon him one OF
the scoundrels presenting a pistol at
Mr.. PresSy's head, while the other
Crappled him, and getting his arms
around him, held him tight, and took
from an inside pocket n portemonnaie
containing $500. The thieves then
made for the door. Mr.. Pressy made an
attempt to pursue them, but the fellow
with the pistol threatened to blow his
brains out if he attempted to stir. Mr..
Prcssy, probably remembering the fate
Of poor Rogers, preferred losing his
money to losing his life, and the rogues
got oil with their booty. One of them,
however, left his hat a brown soft be-
hind, and this may lead to his detection.

YE VELocIPEDE. - The velocipede
mania is far from subsiding. 1t is on
the increase. 1t is more prevalent than
the White Pine fever or the smallpox.
Everybody is " on it or wants to be.
Schools for training people in the use Of
the velocipede are already established
at Gold Hill and Virginia, with plenty
of ardent pupils. People not posted in
the history Of the .velocipede, however,
consider il a new invention-an institu
ton peculiar to the present fast period
Of human progression, never dreaming
that this anne gay and popular little 60
cart was made by a Down East Yankee
years and years ago, in the ancient past.
The Mining and Scientific Press says :
"John Cox made a velocipede GO years
ago, exactly like the two-wheeled one
which Is now the rage. He handled it
Ms we'll, too, as the best of Partisan ex-
perts, astonishing tho natives Of Nor
wich, c., with the rapidity and grace
of his ~eyolutions. He was a blacksmith
born to blush unseen in the wilderness
of A Yankee town. The same idea oc-
cured half q century later to somebody
in the gay French Capital, and his for.
tune was made
