Is it not Baron Munchausen who relates the
story of a man who could all at once turn
himself inside out and smile upon his ever
batiled pursuers7 Lopez of Paraguay, another
hero of another Munchausen, must be just
such a man. From being Lopez, such as we
know him from Brazilian report, he has sud
denly shown himself to be the old Paraguayan
dictator in short, he has turned upon his
pursuers and won victory. The good people
of Rio Janeiro wiring their hands, and say
there will be no end to the war, and therefore
no end to the money spent on it. Wonderful
to be said, all this news reaches us by way of
Lisbon, where Dom Pedros friends abound,
and where the makers of current history have
generally had no mercy for Lopez.

boundary to-day who would build it over the
border if we had no more revenue 10 raise than
before our great Civil War7
Then our manufactures were undeveloped
"and feeble,r says The Times. Very well
Many have since beer developed and strength
ened but others are just struggling into life.
The Steel manufacture ror example) is TO-
day young and comparatively feeble pursuit
among us yet it is one in which success ia
most difficult, requiring vast agg1egations Of
capital, skill, and experience. We viii not say
that The Times is bent on crushing out this
most important industry: we do say that it
allows Its columns to be freely used by those
who mean exactly that. These men pretend
that there is great profit in Steel-making here
but they do MT believe it; for if they did, they
would be into the business up to their eyes
They would just as soon make Steel at Pitts
burgh, Harrisburg, or Troy as at Sheffield.
if they could make as much by so doing; and
we mean to have them making on this side of
the ocean within five years.
The Times says Protection was Indispensable
in Clay and Webster's day. but is not now.
The Times of their day would have said it was
very well in Hamilton's time, but not later.
We submit that what experience has proved
benefceDt in the past is likely to prove bene-
fcent still. 1t has substantially the same
friends and the same enemies as of old tho
arguments for and against it are the same
this City opposes it, as she always did, in the
interest of Foreign Commerce, though our I'm
ports were never ampler than they are in 1870.
"But the great majority of old-time Pro-
tectionists "are now convinced that those
arguments are not applicable to our present
necessities says The Times. But they say
otherwise Their speeches and votes in Con-
gress-nay, the speeches and votes of their adj
yersaries as well-confute The TimeSs assertion.
We doubt that there are twenty members in
the House who have not already given votes
which distinctly affirm and uphold the prin-
ciple of Protection. Some want Sugar pro
tected; others Iron others Wool and Fabrics,
while many who talk Free Trade voted TO
maintain a very high duty on Cigars. TIE
Times reports what it would have true as
though it mere true, which is great mis-
take. Seven-eighths of the American Peo-
pie desire Protection for themselresj great
majority, We are confident, desire it for Others
as well We appeal from assertions to votes.

The Conference of the Methodist Church OF
this State which assembled here several days
ago concluded its session yesterday by the
unanimous adoption of a series of resolutions
strongly protesting against the appropriation
of public funds to sectarian purposes. Inc
vigorous crusade which has been begun against
this glaring evil ought to insure its early abo-
ltion. The zeal with which various church
and political organizations have entered upon
the work should not flag, and we are conf
dent will not, until the Legislature has changed
the law, OF has been changed.

WHOLESOME ADVICE.

Mr.. Robert Gilchrist, now Attoney-General
of New-Jersey, was a Republican until he had
q prospect of doing better over the way; and
he is still very fair man and good citizen
We are not surprised, therefore, TO find hlm
answering the Mayor of PrincetOn-wbo had
written him inquiring if the Blacks must be
permitted to vote in New-Jersey by virtue OF
the XYth Amendment-as follows:
"Three questions are made on the Xyth Amend Amend
Does il operate upon late elections Third Does II
destroy provisions OF the Constitution as Wen a pre-
vent future provisions denying the right TO vote on
count OF colorl In my opinion the Judges OF Election
should treat the matter a. practicai one ann ssNef
all these questions in the affirmative, thougn they iay

of procuring the ratification OF the amendment and
though on this ground it may finally be held by all

Mr.. Gilchrist proceeds 10 talk for Bun
combe) about the mode of enfranchislng the
Blacks s-suggesting that it might better have
been done by the States. Having been work
ing for just that these thirty years to little
purpose, simply because Mr.. Gilchrist's new
party fought us with all their might, We are
very glad to get the Blacks enfranchised any
how. We have done it as best we could.

Mr.. Gladstone deserves no pity for now be-
ing told by one of his Tory supporters that
his Irish policy is shuffling and that his Land
bill is doomed to defeat by its clumsiness and
obscurity. No journal of the same tone as The
Pail Nal Ga=ette has hitherto accepted with
more frankness Mr.. Gladstone's appliances for
adjusting land-tenure and establishing Coer-
cion. 1t tolerated the frst-it applauded the
second; but now it sneers at both. The CO.
ercion bill-all that the Tory panic could
desire, all that lordly prejudices could de-
mand-being safely passed and signed, it Is
quite in order to begin snubbing the Land
bill. Mr.. Gladstone has his reward.
New-York tribune., 1870-04-12

Very questionable is the wisdom displayed
by the Senate in refusing, as it did yesterday,
to limit the sales of land granted by the
Northern Pacific Railroad bill to actual settlers
at low rates and in small quantities. The road
cannot be built without land aid no company
will undertake it without such assistance,
literally extended But it is just as certain
that the lands cannot be developed and popu
lated within reasonable time unless the rail-
road is built And therefore that bill will be
wisest which at once gives encouragement to
the enterprise and adds attractions to emf
grants. The country can well afford to give
away every section of 100 acres of land which
it possesses on the sole condition that it is
cultivated and populated by an industrious
and prolific family. The West wants men, not
acres.

they do not tackle us. We have friends III
Nova Scotia to whom such violence could ohiy
bring grief.

Meetings in celebration of the ratification OF
the Fifteenth Amendment have been held or
are to be held in all the cities of the Union
Last evening one, unusually large and enthu-
siastic, was held in Brooklyn, at which the
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher and Senator RevelS
spoke at length. Tonight the Hall OF Repre-
sentatives at Washington is to be the scene OF
n meeting of colored citizens for the same pur-
pose. 1t is gratifying to note also that these
congregations have been held without disturb
ances from any sources whatever.
New-York tribune., 1870-04-12

The present opportunity 10 establish
Museum of History, Antiquities and Art in
Central Park, with the large and valuable
collections of the New-YOrk Historical Society
as a nucleus, ought not to be thrown away
An act has been passed by the Legislature
giving the Historical Society site for
suitable building in the Park, and securing
to its members the control and management
of the Museum, on the sole condition that it
shall be free to the public. A sufficient sum
is necessary to erect suitable building, and
this the Society can hope to obtain only
from wealthy citizens interested IN tho
development of the Park. The site to
be given by the Park Commissioners, and
the collections of books, manuscripts, CONS,
sculptures, and paintings presented by tho
Historical Society, are muntcent endowments.
The building, which should grace the one ana
receive the others, ought TO be appropriately
magnificent in dimensions and architecture.
New-York has numbers of citizens each one OF
whom is able to contribute without embar-
rassment the entire sum required To Dulid the
proposed Museum. Among the many. 1t VIII
he strange if the required sum il not promptly
subscribed. Or shall we not have one, whose
gift shall secure the building and give IT his
namef

The Cabinet trouble in France appears ire
parable. Judging from the retirement of NJ. Buf-
fet and the very probable resignation of Count
Daru. These Ministers, more than any others,
lent vitality to NJ. Ollivier's supposed new order
of administration. Both are able men, and en-
Joy a good degree of the respect of all parties
in the Corps Legislatif. The ministerial crisis,
it is said, has been produced by their antpathy
to the excess of power which the Emperor holds
over an appeal to the popular vote--a power
not regulated by legislation or suggestion from
the representatives of the people, and fortified
by the imperial ways and means of election

The case of the Rev. Horace Cooke was yes
terlav decided in the New-YOrk East Confer
ence by resolution accepting his withdrawal.
There was painful display of vulgar curl
osity by a crowded audience, composed prlnc-
pally of women, to hear the debate. There
was also displayed something of bitterness and
acrimony on the part of few ministers
toward their erring brother; but it is to the
credit of the majority, and of humanity, that
they deprecated the persecution and punish
ment of the delinquent, leaving him to other
tribunals for Judgment

If there be any reality to the Wall-st re-
ports of the formation OF new gold clique"
it would be well for the parties concerned to
recall the history of the making and
breaking of the great ring of gold specula-
tors last September. 1t is a business abont
which it would be well to be very cautious,
and it is doubtful whether even the greatest
caution would be sufficient to save those fool
ish enough to engage in it. The mere an
nouncement that the Treasury would sell
small portion of its surplus smashed the Sep
tember clique; and no doubt the Treasury
would again take similar course, especially
if the premium were advanced so as to give
the Government unusually favorable terms for
the coin it is able to put upon the market In
view of the reports current a contemporary very
properly reminds spectators not to lose sight
of the fact that the amount of surplus gold in
the Treasury is very large, and that If forty OF
fifty millions of this surplus can be conveniently
utilized by being turned into Fye-Twenties,
thereby saving three millions per annum OF
gold interest to the Treasury, the Admlnistra-
ton at Washington, sooner than have gold ad-
vance again to high figures, to the unsettnng
of trade and to the damage of our improving
public credit at home and abroad, Will be very
apt to order the exchange. There certainly
never was period in which gold clique had
a poorer chance for its operations than now,
and there could not be an occasion in which
ring would be surrounded with greater dangers
Even at 10, gold is absurdly high under pres
emf circumstances.

the country in very different situation from that in
which it finds itself Then our Manufactures were

Comments by The Tribune.
Most forcibly are we reminded by the above
extract of the Savior's startling arraignment
of the Pharisees: aye build the sepulchers of
the prophets, and your fathers killed them ~
For "direct legislative Protection" was just
as bitterly assailed when The Times says it was
absolutely essential to our industrial develop
"ment," as it is to-day, and with the same
weapons. The Erening Post could not compre-
hend then, any more than it can to-day, how
any one but fool or scOundrel could adj
vOcate Protection. 1t insisted as strenuously
then as it does to-day that the policy
which tended to give us speedily hund-
red furnaces and factories in place of
every one we then had was designed and cal
culated to give the few a gigantic monopoly
at the expense of the many. 1t insisted then
as it does to-day that Protective Duties taxed
the Poor for the profit of the Rich When
the Tariff of 1824-the first act ever passed
expressly for Protection-an act which lifted
the country as by magic out of stagnation and
impotence and impelled it on a career of pro-
gress, thrift, and prosperity-was on the point
of passage-The Post (Feb. 3, 1924 shrieked-
"Pass the Tariff reported by the Committee and
you palsy the nation Pass il, and where will You
longer find occupants for your costly piles OF stores and
dwelling houses Pass IT, and who Will be exempt from

SPURIOUS FIFTY CENT CURREN.
CY.-There is a new fifty cent cur
reacy counterfeit that is well calcu-
lated to deceive. The red and blue
fibre in the paper of the genuine
are initiated by rinting in the coun,
terieit, the long beard of Secretary
Stanton is darker, and the figures
$50 on the right hand are surmount-
ed by solid black instead of fine
lines, as in the genuine. On the re-
veloe the counterfeit may be dis
tinguished 10y the IS in 'customs'
failing to touch the line encircliDg
the large oval to the next, and also
by the absence of the shading and
the fine lines around the 80 in the
corners.
