Paraguay is again a scene of conflict. Since the
overthrow of Lopez the country has been virtually
a dependency of Brazil, and the discomfort arising
from this state of affairs has at length eliminated
in an outbreak. The latest intelligence is that the
rebel forces under Caballero have completely
defeated those of the Government, and the Impe-
rial Minister. DR.. Fereira. has resigned his post at
Assumption to take the lead in military operations.
1t was not to be expected that the people of Para

half a century. could readily become reconciled to

process of sugar making, which it is asserted will
be greatly to the advantage of the planter. 1t is
claimed that by first evaporating the eighty per
cent. of vegetable matter by heated steam, and
then by submitting the dried pieces to a wash of
heated water. almost its entire saccharine contents
are successfully extracted that the bagasse, here

FRlGHTFUL RESULT OF. a BALLOON
AscENsloN.-A telegram from Wah
pello, Iowa, dated the 18th, says:
Prof. J. w. Bailey made an ascension
in balloon TO day from the fai.
grounds. The balloon was inflated
with hot air, and left the ground with
Bailey hanging by his hands to the
horizontal bar beneath. a..
Just as it started it took fire near the
mouth and Bailey did not notice the
ire until he was too high to let go with
safety, but hung on until he had reach
ed an altitude Of 1920 or 1900 feet
when the canvass which held the hoop
from which he was suspended burned
away, and ne fell, reaching the earth a
quarter of mile from the point OF
starting. The body was frightfully
mangled, and the legs driven into the
hard ground up to his knees.

Tae Panic ovsr-A Great Victory Gained.

n
The panic is over, and one of the
greatest triumphs known in financial
history has been gained. The reopening
of the Stock Exchange yesterday
marked the end Of an eventful furry,
and gave us assurance Of the completes
ness of the victory achieved by men in
legitimate business over the rash and
needless spectators in Wall street. 1t
is the triumph of financial soundness
and solid worth over the uncertainties
Of needless speculation. pfeorrect meth
DDS of doing business over the adventu-
rous ways of men in haste to be rich ;
Of moderation and conservatism over
greedy recklessness and reckless greed.
Not a single member of the Stock Ex-
change failed to meet mis- obligations.
The days transactions were entirely free
from the spirit of speculation. Never
was business conducted with more cau-
ton and confidence. The routine of
the Exchange was taken up as if only a
Sunday had interviewed since its doors
were closed. A great crisis, involving
fearful loss to the country and great
suffering among the people, mas been
averted by the calmness and modera
ton which allowed the storm to spend
its fury upon those who had courtcd
and provoked it. Only the buchu
bankers, the wild Spectators in uncer-
tainties and insecurities and the unsound
banks and trust companies have failed.
Not a single mercantile house in this
city has fallen, or even ,sensibly suf.
fered, from the force of the storm. The
prosperity Of the country is unaffected.
Much in the way of reform will now be
needed, especially as regards the man
agement Of savings banks and in relief
and security from tie national banking
system but just at the moment we
have only rejoicing that the crisis is
past that a panic in Wall Street will
not Inevitably bring ruin to the coun-
try, and that the power ,of reckless
speculation is broken, if not entirely
destroyed. The victory isgdue to the
wisdom of'General Grant, the caution
Of our men Of business, and the moder-
alton Of the press and the people. ~

Speaking Of. the financial condition
of affairs in the South, the Baltimore
American says THE reports from
the South are not so bad as might have
been reasonably expected, although
banks at Memphis, Augusta, Atlanta,
and Selma have been compelled to sus,
pend, run upon Savannah banks oc-
Cured. The panic has subsidized at
Richmond, and the emergency in
Southern cities promises to be tempo

black waters OF Radicalism dash them
selves in vain against the mountain of
Virginia Conservatism.
He then took up Mr.. Hughes upon
his cry Of relief showed his claim to be
the author! of the bankrupt law false.
What ever was good Or bad in that law
the Radical and the. Conservative party
were equally responsible. It was not
a party measure both parties voting
for it. Said however. that Hughes
might properly be said to belong to a
relief party, in as much as he, was a
member of that party which had re-
lieved the treasures sof the Southern
States Of their last dollar: that relieved
poor bankrupts of their means, laborers
OF their earnings, thespoor houses and
lunatic Assylums of their inmates by
relieving them Of their means of sup
port and so on through the list.
In conclusion he quoted from letter,
written by Stonewall Jackson to an
officer whose family was sick, two child
rem laying dead and his wife desper-
ately i'll, and he application an extension
of his leave of absence. It was time
of great peril to the State when every
man was needed at1hise~ post and Gen
Jackson wrote reply full of sympathy
concluding with the following noble
sentiment ;'ssWHAT rs LIFE WITH
OUT HONOR? DEGRADATION
is WORSE THAN DEATH"
Gen. Kemper spoke two hours-was
most attentively listened to and was
frequently applauded.

The EUROPEAN BALLooN I

1HE LuRoPEAN BALLOON IAGE
NEXT TUESDAY. The New York cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Record
says:
s'The trans Atlantic balloon is to
make another attempt at starting next
Tuesday afternoon, October 7, if the
wind should not be strong. It has
been curtailed in dimensions from ITO
to SO feet in diameter, and the passen-
gers will be Donaldson, as aeranaut;
Alfred I. Ford, secretary and historian
and Lunt, navigate for the boat in case
of an enforced descent into the water.
Mr.. Wise will not be Of the party. nor
will Mr.. Orion, who had arranged with
Wise previous to the last attempt to
take him as a passenger. Orion said
he had followed nearly every pursuit
under the sun, and wished to cap the
climax by trans-oeean ballooming
The boat will serve as the only car,
and part OF the space between it and
the balloon will be inclosed with canvas
in order to protect the travellers from
the cold. They will have a good store
Of blankets and very thick clothing,
Donaldson looks forward to being
carried by an east and by north cur
rent to the coast of Norway, though the
influence Of the gulf stream upon the
atmosphere may land them in ireland
Messrs. Donaldson and Lunt have al
ready been enlarged upon in the papers.
Mr. Ford is a writer upon the Graphic,
and young man OF very sterling char
acter. He is always ready to risk his
neck in good cause, and served in the
cavalry during the war. There seems
a desire at present to cease preparatory
announcements and ffourishes, and to
perform the work in a quiet way. Sue.
cess will bring it due encomiums, while
failure will avoid the large measure cf
abuse recently awarded it.
The Washington. correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun says: ssThe Court of
Claims last spring made large mum
Der of awards in favor OF cotton clai--
mants from Georgia and other States
If the South, and there was great re-
joicing thereat among the claimants
and their friends. The government
has, however, i'm most, if not all of
these cases, entered motions for new
trials, and it is understood will carry
them all to the Supreme Court if again
unsuccessful before Court Of Claims
