TSansfer of disputed Tsrritory.

|
WASHINGTON, July 16.-A pri.
vate letter has been received from
the Secretary of Foreign A fairs for
Paraguay, and formerly Minister
10 tile United States from that
country, in which he describes the
formal transfer to Paraguay of a
slip of territory the title to which
has long been in dispute between
the Argentine aud Paraguayan Re.
publics. The title of this disputed
territory was referred hy the dis
putants to the arbitration of Presi-
dent Hayes, aud u decision was re-
Gently rendered in favor of Para
quay. The ceremonies by which
the formal transfer was made took
place ut u city called Villa Occi
dental, and were very imposing.
After obtaining formal possession
of the disputed territory, the first
official act of the Paraguayau gov
erpment was to change the name
Of Villa Occidental to Villa Hayes,
as a compliment to the President of
the United States.

This is notably less than in any

Circular says: Never before in our
experience in the computation of
these statistics has the decrease in
mercantile casualties been so
marked. In no previous period has
the comparison of losses by bad
debts been 80 favorable as at the
present hour. In relation to the
growth In the volume of business in
the past six months, as compared
with the transactions in the same
period in 1873, the returns from all
the clearing houses in the country
some twenty-five in number
show that the total settlements of
balances to be adjusted between
various banks, indicated AN in

try exceeding twenty per cent. The
Circular, respecting Colorado, says:
II is estimated that between $5,-

A good story is told by a teacher
of one of the Sunday schools in the

girls who went into the ark with
Noah. None of them seemed to

she must say something, and not

Constitution observes, but the war

The pedigree of the political leg
islstion of the extra session may be
briefly related. the Springfield Re.
publican thinks: 1t was sired by
the Democratic party and damned
by Hayes.
The Butler county (Ohio) Demo-
crat says: The balance of trade was

the war. The balance Of votes will

That, remarks the Wheeling Reg
ister, is the difference between u

The New Haven (Conn. Register
.aays; It was Senator Eaton, of our
State, who had the honor to lead
the Democratic Senate in the final
charge, which resulted in routing
the Administration and smashing
the veto battle of Mr.. Hayes.
Nobody is left to the Republican

Then, brethren, it is boom and

New York detective to suspect him
Of some terrible crime, the Balti-
more Gazette suggests, it would
help his presidential canvass very
much. 1t Is popularity of the
New York detective that he is al

The Philadelphia Nerth-Aneri-
can says: According to the latest
news from ths seat of war, WASH
ington, the city presents some

expected after free fight between

Prince Jerome is gazetted as Ma

Hayes in this country, since the
4th Of March, 1877, has given the

Justice OF Utah twas most proper

LIEUTENANT CAREY cENsURED-H1s DEFENCE
OF THE CHARGE OF CowARDIcE-cETYwAYo
NOT YET READY TO CONCLUDE PEACE.
[BY CABLE TO THE HERALD
LONDON, July z, 1879.
despatch has been received from Cape
Town saying that the Court of Inquiry con-
vencd for the purpose of examining into the
conduct of Lieutenant Carey, the officer in
charge of the accommodating expedition
OH which the Prince Imperial was killed, de-
cided THAT Lieutenant Carey did not understand
the position in which he stood toward the
Prince and was not aware that he was expected
to exercise any special guardianship or care over
his person." The Court goes on to censure
him for proceeding upon his reconnaissance
without sufficient escort and for halting
and dismounting on dangerous ground, acts
which betrayed deplorable want of mill
tary prudence, and regrets that no attempt was
made by "Lieutenant Carey to rally his escort
and to confront the enemy" After the Court
of Inquiry u court martial was organized to try
the lieutenant, and still in session when
the steamer sailed Lieutenant Carey pleaded
in his own defence that he was not in charge of
the party. Indeed, it is asserted that the Prince
Imperial himself was placed in command. The
evidence thus far submitted is said to clear Lieu
tenant Carey somewhat from the charge of
cowardice.
NEGOTIATIONS WITH CETYwAYO.
Lord Chemsfords despatch to Sir Bartle
Frcre of the 9th of June, stating that pending
King Cetywayo's answer there would be no
military operations, apparently means only that
the Zulus will not be actually attacked pending
the receipt of Cetywayos answer, rs all accounts
agree that an advance has begun. long tele-
gram from Lord Chelmsford, received at the
War Office yesterday, states that King Getty
wayo has not yet yielded to the proposals made
by him. ..
