BRAZIL md THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC.

BRAZIL and THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC.
Now that the Brazilians claim TO have sub
iugated Paraguay utterly and finally, there is
danger of their assumptions going 80 far as to
lead them into difficulties with their late allies
of the Argentine Confederation. We have
reason to believe that apprehensions of this
kind are entertained by President Sarmiento
and other prominent members of the Argen-
tine Government; and there seems TO be
ground for the fear that since Brazil has OBJ
tanned such an important accession of strength
and prestige by the destruction of the Para
guayan Republic, she may seize an oppOr-
tunity to attempt the overthrow of another
Republic adjacent to Paraguay and watered by
the Parana, with which, though recently allied
in war, she has not for many years been on
good terms. 1t is not long since our Buenos
Ayres correspondent informed US that it was
believed there that Brazil was engaged in STIR
ring up dscord both in the Argentine Repub-
lie and in Uruguay, and we have other reasons
for supposing that Brazil had her hand in the
revolt of the Argentine Province of Entire Rios
which has just been crushed, as well as in the
Uruguayan instruction. These movements
and intrigues are part of her long-established
policy to obtain control of the Rio de la Plata
with its chief affluents through its entire
length, which can only be accomplished by the
destruction Of the Argentine Confederation and
Uruguay, as the Republic of Paraguay has al
ready been destroyed.
Now, we maintain that our Government has
very important responsibilities, duties, and in
terests in regard to this matter. 1t should at
least take some notice of these proceedings, as
they are brought into view from time to time
and should not be content with standing com
placently by, while one after another of the Re-
publics of South America is crushed by the
great slaveholding Empire of Brazil. The Ar
gentine Republic, under its present President, is
q Government that commands our highest re-
spect President SarmientO, during the two years
of his administration, has wrought wonders
for his country He has labored intelligently
and effectively to make more liberal its
political institutions, for the establishment and
extension OF popular education, for the de-
yelOpment of its resources and the prosecution
OF public works, for the enlargement of it's
and for the maintenance Of policy
of peace, internal and external. He has at
tempted to carry out the republican and pro-
gressiye principles which he studied in this
country during the many years of his residence
here; and he has met with remarkable sue
,ess, though his work has been interrupted by |
he Paraguayan war and by the recent revolt |
Of Jourdan in the eastern province of the |
Republic.
1t is for our interest, in many respects, that |
resident SarmientO should be sustained-that
he Argentine Republic should be relieved 1

THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE EXPOSITION

THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE EXPOSITION.
During the months of September and Octo-
Der next, our readers will find at the great
structure on Third-ave, near Sixty-third-st,
the grand annual display of the products OF
American skilled labor. Arrangements have
been completed by which the Directors will
have this year what on previous years they
have so much needed, room enough. The
show will occupy the whole of the Rink build
ing. beside the addition in the rear, which is
a hundred and four feet long by fifty deep.
Last year the great success of the Fair estab-
ished the truth that Sixty third-st. and the
East side are not serious objections to any
great display. Weston could draw 5000 peo-
pie, and the Fair of 100 was for night after
night thronged by 5000 visitors.
Elsewhere will be found the card of the Sec
rotary. No inventor who has a mechanical
idea that is really an advance upon existing
combinations can afford to lose this grand
opportunity for making his conception known
to the American public This industrial display
will be leading feature in the attractions of the
metropolis even to the common visitor, and
may well draw artisans and all of a scientific
taste from distant localities. 1t is time for
those intending to enter machines and goods
to apply for space

All the Appropriation bills except that pro-
yiding for the Indians have now been disposed
Of by Congress. But the Senate has absolutely
refused to compromise the differences existing
between it and the House, and insists on its
amendments 1t is intimated that the Presi-
dent, recognizing the Importance of Sc
curing some provision for carrying out
the Indian policy, will Immediately call
An extra session. We hope still for some
compromise. In the defeat of this bill lay the
hopes of those who have been most persistently
opposing the reduction of the Army. Mem
bers ought to reflect that its passage at once
saves us from an Indian war, and enables us
to reduce the army and its expenses.

There is some chance that the go"an OF
Paris may lose the cheap and exquisite pleas
IRE of attending executions. 1t has been pro-
posed to make the decapitation OF criminals
entirely private but there was some trouble
in the Chamber upon the point whether jurors
sbould be forced to attend, and the protector
Of the bill threw it up. Still, the utter brn-
tality with which in 80 many ages the Paris
ian population have witnessed executions can
not always last, and our own impression has
always been that France, when a reaction OF
the tieerish spirit came, and the refux OF the
old philosophical spirit came also, womb DO
very likely to abolish the Death Penalty alto
cether.

Mr.. Fish protests, as the American Secretary
of State, in justly indignant terms, against the
Spanish decree of Emancipation. He declares
it to be "a project for relieving the slave
"owners from the necessity of supporting
Infants and aged slaves, who can only be a
burden, and of prolonging the institution as to
"able-bodied slaves" He further insists that
the war in Cuba cannot end until the abolition
of slavery is effected, and has instructed Min
lister Sickles to represent the disappointment
Of the American Government at the impotent
conclusion of the Ministry and COrtes on this
important question. In that protest the whole
American nation joins. The spirit of the age
demands that Spain shall not hesitate longer
10 remove this blot from civilization.

to-day. 1t has been most talkative body
and yet we cannot deny that it has been an
industrious one. 1t has laboriOusy considered
in detail and acted upon the whole
! Tariff and Internal Revenue system of
the United States. 1t has at tedious
| length discussed the various propositions for
| funding the National Debt, and has at last
adopted bill for that end. 1t has considered
and acted upon the question of our Currency.
1t has revised our Army system, and adopted a
needed measure of reduction and retrenchment.
1t has given attention enough to the case Of
| Georgia to have made O definite end Of Recon-
structiOn many times over. 1t has considered
with great care our navigation interests; has
sought to devise a system of checking fraud
lent naturalizations; has discussed with much
zeal the question of Cuba, and adopted resOlu-
tons thereon has reduced appropriations and
sought to second the Presidents efforts at
national economy.
Of the manner in which this multifOrm work
has been done we have from time to time ex
pressed our opinions with that freedom which
it is our custom to practice not less with pO
litical friends than antagonists. We have
disliked very much the tardy, half-hearted
way i'll which Congressman have seconded
Mr., BoutwelPs propositions for funding the
National Debt-propOstions under which, as
we firmly believe, that work might now be
well under way if the House had shown as
much promptness as industry in the matter.
The Currency bill is so much less bad than
we had reason to fear, that we have no
disposition to complain of the action in
this matter. The reduction of the Army
is measure of economy that will
commend itself to all. 1t might have been
done more to our liking but as it stands it is
a substantial measure of reform. The Nat
uralization bill was shorn of its most valuable
features, but it may still be expected accom-
plish some good results.
In many respects the most important work
of the session has been the laborious revision
given the Tax and Tariff bills--a work which
il is fate TO say would never have been ac-
complished but for the energy, ability, and
logged pertinacity of Gen. Robert G..
Schenck. We do not think SO highly
as do most Of our Congressman of
the results therein attained but there is one
result so distinct and practical that voters, this
Fall, will have no difficulty in comprehending
it. 1t reduces our burden of taxation by an
amount no less than seventy-six millions of
dollars. The items for reduction are in many
if not in most cases judiciously chosen, and
the general effect will undoubtedly be to
strengthen the Administration.
The most striking failure of this Congress,
thus far, has been in its neglect to dispose of |
the lingering remnants of the Reconstruction |
question by the prompt admission of Georgia |
on terms honorable TO her and TO u.s. till the |
last hours of last nights session; and the en-
tire failure to pass a liberal and generous bill
of amnesty. We cannot believe That at the
next session Congressman can so fail to read

As the Elm Park tragedy ought to be
thoroughly investigated, we suggest few
questions. Is it true that the disaster to a
large extent was due to the incompetency OF
Police Captain Killilea3 Had this officer warn
ing of the impending riot hours before 1t
occurred, and did he fail to act upon this
information Were his reserves the last to
arrive on the spot when ordered by the Super
intendent although nearer to the scene than
those of any other precinct7 Is there any
foundation for the report that only three days
before the Elm Park riot citizen was muir
dered in a general disturbance within three
hundred yards of Capt. Kilhlea's station house,
without that officer learning the fact until
twelve hours afterward7 If these questions
can only be answered in the affirmative, the
duty of the Police Commissioners is plain
New-York can very well dispense with Capt
Killilea's services.

Twenty-Five of the railway land grants OF
the Senate met their fate in the House yester-
day. and fifty-fye of its other bills were dls-
posed of in a summary manner. The indus
trious humor of the House, though unfortu-
nately little late in the session, would Do
thoroughly enjoyable if the motive when
inspired it were as commendable as the spi1t

carried half the members simultaneously TO
