THE social and domestic misery pro-
duced In Germany by the wal Is very
great. A German paper states that III
the province Of Westphalia, at the be-
ginning of October, there were ll,Sl7
married women, the wives and widows
of soldiers, together with 22,7lS chill
dren, obtaining relief from the public
funds. In Hanover, 9.264 women and
s6,4lS children were dependent upon
the public for support. In the Rhenish
provinces there were l4,3l2 married
women and 20,8l9 fatherless children
who we're utterly destitute. Thus, in
only three Prussian provinces there
we're. last October, So, 1853 women and
1880 children in 4 condition Of mis-
cry and want, and 1t is believed that
restitution to the same extent prevails
in the other provinces OF Prussia. The
price of provisions is extraordinarily
high, and the winter, it is predicted,
will be unusually severe. The Injury
done by the potato rot and the rinder-
pest has also been severe, and the con-
dition of the families of the peasants
left at home is very miserable. About
nine-tenths of the males are In the
L.andwehr, and the women and chill
dren thus deprived Of their natural
supporters, will, it is feared, perish
from starvation.

Az INFORMANT DECISION. = Judge
Strong. Of the United States SuprenIs
Court, has recently decided that a State
cannot directly or Indirectly tax per
sons passing through'or out Of 1t. This
the State OF Delaware indirectly at
tempted to do, by levying a tax on the
cash value of every share Of the stock
of every railroad or canal doing busi-
ness In that State, and a tax upon the
companies net earnings. 1t also au-
thorized a specific tax upon every loco
motive, every passenger a and every
freight car used by any railroad conf
pany. All these tax levies were re-
sisted by q nonresident of the State
who Is \ stakeholder In one Of the rail-
road companies running through it.
The right of the State to tax the stocks
and income of railroads the Judge de-
cided wa clearly legal, but that the
tax for the use Of locomotives and cars
was as clearly unconstitutional. This
decision Of the Judge Is well sustained
by precedent and reasoning to be not
only legal but equitable. Were a little
sovereignty, like that Of the State Of
Delaware, permitted the power to i'm
pose taxes Of the character here decided
by the Judge to be unconstitutional,
the Legislature being small, anu con
sequently cheap, might, at some time,
be seduced Into acts of like character,
which would virtually head of travel
through its boundaries, to tile incon-
venience and injury Of all the Union.

The Death of Lopez.

The death of Lopez, the famous Para
guayan leader and military chieftaisi, is
now annouced for the ninth time, if our
memory does not err in such way as to
make the report credible. The comman-
der Of the Brazilian force that surround
ed the small band Of troops which stood
by the fortunes, or rather the misfortunes
Of Lopez to the last, has received
from the Emperor the title Of Viscount
Gelatas. The Brazilian Emperor surely
believes, therefore, that Lopez has been
slain. The reported manner Of his death,
is that he was entirely surrounded, but,
refusing to surrender, was killed by a
Brazilian lancer.
The reports which christeDdom has re-
ceived Of what is called the Paraguayan
war have been mainly supplied through
Brazilian and Portuguese sources. They
have been in the nature Of &c TaYte state
ments. They have been to the Para
guayans very much like British com
ments on. the American colonies during
the war of independence. They are to
be taken with many grains of allowance
for prejudice and international hatreds.
And yet, though we clearly see,- from
these reports, that Lopez was cruel, re-
yengcful, biood-thirsty, we may also per-
ceive therefroln that he had a patriotism
savage indeed and even ferocious, which
under more favorable circumstances
might have been Of great value to his
country, and a courage and endurance In
the hie hest degree remarkable. He is
charged with many and fearful crimes,
but many who had the best opportunities
to judge of his character pronounce it
praiseworthy, Others, who also had good
opportunities to jgdge, pronounce it ut:
terly detestable. His defeat at last will
go far toward making his memory odious;
for the one thing which mankind never
pardons is failure in war. And SO passes
from the scene "a rude Barbarian by
whose patriotism, or wicked ambition,
men have been led to death by thousands,
vast extent of country devastated, and
converted into a desert waste, and the Ia
habitants thereof brought to the verge
of want, desolation, and despair.

The Ku-Klux in Alabama-Murder ola
Lawyer at Eutaw. Green County.

The Chicago Tribune makes the follow
ing extract from private letter, under
date of Narion, Alabama, April, 4, 1870,
giving particulars of an atroclous murder
few days before by band of ku- klux
at Eutaw
'On the evening of the 31st March),
about half-past 10 O'Clock, the hotel
where Twas stopping (Eutaw Housed,
was visited by band of the celebrated
Ku-klux, some 80 or 40 In number, dis
guised as Indians, who took possession of
the house, putting every person who was
visible under the muZzles of their guns
and pistols, and commanded silence or
death. They then took the clerk-a poor
crippled boy-and compelled him TO go
up stairs with a dozen or so of them, and
show them the location Of Nos. and 5.
They were at the farther end OF a long,
narrow hall, and near them was the room
occupied by myself, then seated by the
fire, reading and writing No was oc-
cupied by Mr.. Boyd, Radical Office
holder, Solicitor Of the County Court
They Immediately forced his door, took
him from his bed, and murdered him in
cold blood in the hall, near my door. He
was shot by some ten or twelve balls, and
several were fred that did not hit him,
glancing from the walls and ceiling. The
shrieks Of the murdered man were fear
full, and were heard all over the town,
but were soon relived by death; aud the
assassins mounted their horses and rode
from town unmolested. Whether they
intended to disturb any one else and were
deferred by the screams Of their first vic
tim, OF whether they accomplished the
sole object of their visit, is not known. It
is supposed that they took his life
because, as Solicitor Of the Court, he was
trying to ferret out the kaklux muir
derers OF some negroes in the county. -
OF course the horrible affair created an
intense excitement in all the country, and
it was ve:y unpleasant to me TO remain.

DIR. LIVINGSTONE.

The Latest News from the African
Traveller.
The Bombay Gazette states that the
following news concerning DIR Living
stone has been communicated to the
press by the government OF India
The date of the latest news received
from DR.. Livingstone is jug 9, 1869,
near Lake Sangiveolo. lie raterates his
belief that he has found tn. sources OF
the Nile between 10 and II degrees
south; that is to say, nearly IN the pos
sition which PtoIemy assigned to them.
The waters Of the northern slope OF the
elevated plains which overlook the val
ley of Cazemb are conveyed, by multi
tude of streams into the Chamb eze.
This river flows into lake Bangeivelo,
and, under the name OF Luapula, unites
it with Lake Moero Again it changes
its name after leaving this point, and 6e-
comes known as the Lualaba, as it runs
on to Lake UleDge. Into Lake Ulenge
also flows the Luira, a bryce river coming
from the western side Of the same great
plain, the northern slope of which Is
drrined by the Cham}eze. The combin-
ed waters of the Lula and the Chambe-
re are said by some Ct DR.. Livingstone s
native inforrants to enter Lake Tangan-
yika and thence, under the different name
of Deanda, to passon to Lake Choam ba,
which he considers to be the same as Sir
Samuel Bakers Albert Nyanza others
maintain that the Luira finds way by
the west of Manganyika to Lake Cho-
anne. These questions have still to be
settled; and in this the interest of DR..
TivippStona's onward movements centre
The lakes which DR.. Livingstone has
seen are of considerable size, varying
from FIVE to ten days march in length,
and are overhung by high mountain
slopes, which open out in bays and val
leys, or leave great plains which. during
the rainy season, become so flooded that
the caravans travel for days through wat
er up to their knees, and with difficulty
find high ground as resting place for the
night. There are plenty of domestic
cattle in the country, and an abundance
of large game. The climate is declared
to be healthy.
