A RECENT DISPATCH from London an
nouuces that, according to reports received
by the last mails from South America, the
English colonists established In Paraguay
were not satisfied with their situation In that
country. This item OF news Is easily ex-
plalned by the revolutionary movement which
has just been subdued in the little but heroieal
republic of South America, so that Paraguay
Is again quietly pursuing the paths Of pros
ncrity. After an exhaustive war Of Ave years
duration against Brazil and the Argentine
Republic the present Government Of Presi'
dent Don Jovellanos has succeeded In win.
ming the respect Of Its former enemies and
enlisted the sympathy OF Europe to such an
extent that two loans have been successfully
raised In the London market. Unfortunately
the three millions sterling OF these loans
were unduly appropriated by an Argentine
native, who acted In tho capacity of consul

The total value OF the commerce of the re-
public, as officially stated In 1870, was sli,-
337,7 ~, about onc-fourth OF which was with
Great Britain and about one-twelfth with
this country. But, as our own official figures
for the same year show that our trade with
the Columbian States touched $4,000, 900, It
is most likely that there Is large amount Of
smuggling going on In that vicinity. Sugar

The PARTIAL RESUMPTION or CURRENCY
PAYMENT by those Of our local basks which
are members Of the Associated Banks
Justines the wisdom Of the certified check
system adopted by them. The scarcity Of
the circulating medium was tho result Of the
panic, the effects Of which are now fortu-
nately passing away, and was the occasion
Of the temporary resort to that system; but
as currency begins to flow back into its
natural channels, the banks as well q,

return to usual business customs.

The DEMOCRATS Of Charleston, g. c.,
having been defeated In the late municipal
election iu that city, are now engaged in con-
testing the result. They have the right TO do
this; but 1t Is evident, even now, that they
have made u mistake. Investigation, as
usual, has disclosed the fact that the Demo-
cracts themselves have been guilty Of the
most glaring frauds. But tho sublimity OF
impudcncc which sustained them In the de-
mand for IN investigation has been over
Swallowed by their subsequent demand, that
the mayor shall draw from the city treasury
$4,000 with whish to defray expenses OF
their side Of the contest. The injustice Of
this latter demand 10 so apparent that II Is

A MoDIsTE's TRIUMPH -Ou "Wednesday
last Miss Mary Thomson, a modiste OF this
CITY, received au order from Mrs. Murphy, wife
of the new mayor of San Jose, 10 make mag
ni6ceut silk robe for her, and to have it ready
to forward by lady friend who would leave
San Francisco by the afternoon train on the
following day As the dress was required tor
the mayor party which was to take p ACE on
Thursday evening. no delay was to be thought
of. and so Miss Thomson, aided by assistants
set actively to work to fill the order. Time
pressed, but it seemed that Industry and per-
ssteDcy were to conquer, tor the work Was com-
pleted on Thursday afternoon sufficiently early,
as il was thought to catch the iy at home
before she started on her jmrney. Carefully
preparing the parcel Miss Thomson hurried in
hack to the address, but, on arriving there,
discovered that the lady had previously started
for the train.
Instruc,ing the driver to hasten to the sta
ton, she again had the modification to find
that she was TWO or three moments too late,
for the train had just left. The modiste, how
ever, proved equal to the emergency, and as
she had telegraphed that the dress should be
received 10 San Jose in time for the party, she
determined that she would keep her promise,
in spite Of all trouble and expense. Accordingly
she went in search Of fast team to drive the
distance but again she was banked, the cpl
zooty having laid up all the horses carriage
for the journey was not to be obtained at any
price. Now came coup d etat. She returned
to the railroad station aud negotiated tor spe-
cia locomotive and tender for San Jose, which
was furnished her for 500. Triumphant
at last, she forwarded the dress to It's destiua.
ton, and the happy wife of the mayor received
it, as promised just in time for the party
