The War Against Paraguay.


The recent terrible defeat of the
allies in front of the Paraguayan
stronghold, Villeta, and the announce
ment that the Argentine Republic
has made overtures to President
Lopez for peace, has awakened q new
interest in hat bloody and somewhat
peculiar South American struggle
The genuine pluck, herOism, and
self-sacrihce exhibited by Lopez and
his followers have long challenged
admiration, anu now that there are
indications that the n million Par
aguayans are about to triumph over
the triple alliance" representing
eleven millions of people, and that,
too, by sheer tenacity and pluck, there
Is no end to the surprise expressed,
nor to the interest which has been
excited in their behalf. The war, as
our readers will remember, grew out
OF a protest Issued by Lopez against
eneroachments by Brazil in Uruguay,
Lopez declaring such eneroachments,
II attempted, to be equivalent to a
declaration of war. He was led TO
issue this protest partly from the fact
that the men who call themselves
Argentine statesmen yer Scheming
for the restoration of the old Buenos
Ayrean Viceroyalty, which included
Bolivia and Paraguay, partly because
Of the intense hatred which the Para
guayans have always entertained to-
wards Brazil, and their consequent
Jealousy of the latter's agRrandize-
ment, and partly because of the alarm
which he, as the representative of the
Paragnayan people, naturally felt for
his W safety, should the absorption
OF a neighbOring State by the empire
be consummated. Brazil, however.
paid no attention to this protest, bgt
soon after entered into q secret treaty
with the Argentine Republic, (Which
treaty Uruguay was also forced t.
sign,l binding the allies toa perpetual
war against Paraguay, or until Lopez
should DO dead or banished. The
treaty further provided for the dis
memberment Of the Psraguayanr ter
ritOry, and for a distribution Of thG
: spoils which might be captured from
! per Inhabitants.

Grant Rspudiates.

1t seems by the Washing on letter
OF the New York Sun, E. B. Wash
burne has had q Iong talk with Grant,
and called his attention to the alleged
conversation reported In the newspa-
pers Of the country, in which the
General Is said to have expressed
himself in favor of the ~strictest econ
omy in the management of public
affairs, opposed to any further subsi-
dies to the Pacific Railroad, in favor
of the repeal of the Tenure of Office
act, and in favor OF retaining capable
men in office without regard to their
political views, and ''that General
Grant repudiated them all, and won
dered that any respectable paper
would give them credit" Now, as
this matter is settled by authoritative
denial, it Is wonderful that any one
should expect the advocacy of such
advantageous measures so necessary
in the present condition of the coun.
try from a man elected and controlled
by Congressman who are opposed tc
economy in any form, who are up &c
their eyes in Pacific Railroad and al
other swindles.

NsHINGToN letter writers assert
q there is n very little prospect Of
fhe tenure-of-ohce law being repealed
ly the House at this session. A de-
cided majority Of the Republican
members are said to be opposed TO its
repeal, and it is not probable that the
democratic members, however much
they may be opposed to the bill on
principle, will do anything to hasten
4 vote on a subject which does not
now particularly interest them. The
repeal bill Is designed to help an adj
ministration to which Democrats owe
no favors. and from which they ex-
pect no rewards. If the Radicals see
hit to unshackle their own President,
we'll and good ; if not, we do not see
why Democrats should be particularly
anxious about the matter. The crow"
between Congress and the President
elect is avery pretty one as it stands /;

From the Augusta (Ga) Chronicle Dec. 27,
Three White Persons Burned to Death
Negroes Suspected of the Murder,

There occurred in the neighboring
county of Columbia, on night before
last, either a most mysterious accident
or, what Is more probable an atrocIty
unparalleled in the annals of crime.
On Christmas-night a house situated
Eve miles from Appling Courthouse,
the. county site of Columbiana county,
and occupied by a Mr.. Gabriel Martin
and two grown sisters, vas burned to
the ground, and its three occupants
consumed in the flames. The neigh
bors arrived too late to save the
bodies from the fire, but it is generally
believed that the house was first en-
tered by negroes, the three persons
murdered, and the premises set on
FIRE to destroy all evidences of the
crime. Mr. Martin was supposed to
have a good deal of money concealed
on the place, and this furnishes the
true key to the whole transaction. 1t
is scarcely probable that three grown
persons would sleep so soundly as to
be burned alive in the house without
q slAgle escaping,

Dslano Still at Home.

Thomas Ewing said that it appeared
that Columbus Delano declined being
a candidate for representative in the
4Ist Congress, because he waS'aShamed
to look an honest man in the face"
1t would now appear that he is ashmed
to look his. colleagues in Congress in
the face, as he has not yet been to
Washington ; although ope-thiFd Of
the present session OF Congress is now
over. But appearances are deceptive.
1t was not shame, but fear that pre-
vented Delano from being a candidate
for Congress. He knew that even the
honest men of his own party, looked
upon him with contempt, and if he
were a candidate, that he would be
beaten from four to FIVE thoGsapd
VeteS.
MOI is it shame which has prevented
Delano from going on to Congress,
1t is true that he will draw pay for
the full session, although he will not
have been there one half OF the term.
But what OF that? he has BECOME rich,
by illgotten gains, and why should MS
now blush for the smallest offense OF
his life Had Deiano been put on

session commenced, but losing that,

family consisting of the parents and
three children, the eldest about four
teen years of age, living about eight
miles from the above named city,
started in a wagon Friday last, for
that place, to take the cars. AS it
was extremely cold, the children
were put down in the bottom-of the
wagon insome straw and wrapped up
in q buffalo robe, the parents thinking
they would THUS ride comfortably.
Nothing was heard from them until
they arrived at BloomingtoH,I but
whea uncovered they were found to,
be frozen TO 6eath.-They had thus
passed away Without a struggle, and
while the parents were pleasing them
