We see by the Australian papers that the
young Prince Alfred has not favorably affected
the people of the antipodes with the idea Of
royalty. There are sad complaints about the
conduct OF himself and suite while in that
country. What his precise offences were ara
not stated ; but it ID more than insinuated that
in private as well as in public his conduct was
not exactly suited to scion of royalty, and
that it has had damaging effect upon the
prospect, If any exists, Of Australia accepting
a branch of the reigning family as its resident
ruler. Perhaps the air was too pure and ex-
hierating for the Prince, and set him all agog
like the inhalation of laughing gas, which
may account for his pranks whatever they
were. The fact is that Australia has for q
long time been nursing an idea of republican
independence. II is far more likely 10 rid
itself of its connection with the mother
country than Canada. Indeed, we have heard
before now of a South Australian republic.


The Prince of Wales did much better than
his brother during bis tour through this
country, but he had good managers to take
care of him. and that makes all the difference
He behaved himself so well in Canada that
the people there took very forward step
towards vicarious monarchy, with a royal

dominion; but we are afraid that the late royal
visit to Australia will have the effect of turn
ing the thoughts of the population in the dircc-

There seems to be some want of concert OF
opinion among the conservatives in Georgia in
regard to the propriety of running tickets for
all the Offices, national and State, at the next
election. While some are in favor of nomi-
mating a full list of candidates, others propose
to let the Congressional election go by default,
arguing that if they should succeed in electing
even part Of the delegation the radical
majority in Congress would not allow them to
take their seats. With this view it is proposed
that the conservatives concentrate their full
strength upon carrying the Governor, State
Legislature and other local officers. On the
whole we are inclined to think this the best
policy. Successful in their choice of Off
GERS in the State government, the conserva-
tives can 80 arrange their local legislation as
to suit emergencies that may henceforth arise
upon questions affecting purely local and, to
themselves, most important interests. The natu-
raj instincts of preservation dictate the pro-
priety of adopting this policy. BY this means
they may eventually secure two sound represen-
tatives in the United States Senate. No dele
CATION the radicals in Georgia can possibly send
to the House of Representatives at Washing
ton will enhance the popularity of the radicals
in the North and West and if they can squeeze
in a negro or two, SO much the better. Give
Congress rope enough and it will hang itself.
Therefore let the conservatives Of Georgia look
to the securement of power in the State
Legislature, and let the Congressional delega-
ton take care of itself for the present.

Very Interesting News from Paraguay.


Our latest information from the seat of war
in South America, published in our issue
of yesterday, contains the interesting state
ment that the Commander-in-Ch Chief of the al
lied forces was about to make another attempt
to storm the Pafaguayan stronghold of HUI
malta. When we consider how frequent these
assaults have been and how invariably the
Brazilians and their allies have been repulsed
the announcement Notwithstanding the flourish
of trumpets with which it is made, does not in
dicate anything more than another severe
struggle and probably another triumph for
Paraguay. For about four years the war has
been waged, and although the allies repre-
sent thirteen millions of people and the Para
guayans about one-tenth of that number, the
contest is not yet closed, and the present indi-
cations are that when it does come to an end
the heroic little republic of Paraguay will be-
the victor. Nor can we withhold our sympathy
from her, for really the war is waged in the
interest of the only monarchical government on
this continent against the essential prin-
cples of democracy. The refusal OF
the allies to make peace through diplo-
matte negotiations, except upon the condition
that President Lopez withdraws from the
country, is an outrage upon the right of the
people Of Paraguay to choose their own rulers
and dictation which would scarcely be suiii-
GENTLY punished by final and overwhelming
defeat to the arms and arrogance OF their





enemies. -


While it seems doubtful that diplomacy will
ever end this tiresome Paraguayan war, our
correspondence from Buenos Ayres reports an
opposition to the struggle that may at any
day bring it to sudden termination by the
withdrawal of her allies from Brazil 1t is
true that the Brazilian government controls a.
powerful army and navy, but the desertion Of
the Argentine Confederation and of the Oriental
republic would have most disastrous effect
upon both. The discomfort in the Argentine
Confederation particularly, we are told, is SO
great that sat the public meetings no one who
expects to be heard will advocate the triple
alliance for moment" Should this spirit Of
disaffection continue to spread, as it evidently
will, the end of the war against Paraguay can
be readily foreseen. At any rate we cannot
but wish her the complete triumph which the
heroism, sufferings and unconquerable deter
mination of her sons SO well merit.

he New York Post Omce-CuriOus Pro.


ceedinss in Congress.


We were to have had a new Post Office, and
it was to be located on the southern end of
the City Hall Park. The ground was pur-
chased by the government for half a million
dollars, and paid for cash down. The plans
of innumerable architects were received, care
fully examined and paid for. But it appears
that none of the plans were acceptable to the
artistic mind of the committee, and kind of
patchwork made out Of the whole was agreed
upon. SO far the new Post Office pro-
gressed, although the probability was that the
new Court House would have grown green
with age before the Post Office building was
completed. Now it turns out that Congress
has appointed committee of three gentlemen
to proceed to this city for the purpose of decid-
ing whether we really require a new Post
Office building at all. The capacity of this
committee to settle this question may be judged
from Michigan, another from Pennsylvania
and another from a country district in this
State. How much they know about the ne
cessities of New York city, or how much they
will learn on that subject in the course of their
investigations, can readily be imagined.


Absurd as this proceeding may seem, it has
meaning, and the public may well ask what the
object of it is. 1t means this-that there is
million dollars or more to be expended on the
Post Office building, and that if the work is
proceeded with just now such patronage as
may be disposed Of in the employment of a
thousand worhmcn or 50, for instance, to say
nothing of contracts, win be in the hands of
the President and his friends; but If the work
can be delayed until Mr. johnson is got rid Of
the patronage will be enjoyed by the powers
ad interim. Hence we opine this committee
is appointed for the purpose of delaying the
work, and not with view to facilitate it.
Some people may think that this is a small
business; but after all it Is entirely in keep
ing with the spirit and action Of the ruling
majority in Congress.

any action on his part at the expiration of ten

measures, which will probably wake up the

forms oil cookery only the substance OF single
charge.


The Tenure of Civil Office act, for violating
which by the removal of Secretary Stanton the
President is now undergoing solemn and
costly farce of trial before partisan jury of
Senators, specifically provides that all mem
bers of the Cabinet shall hold their Offices
respectively ''for and during the term of the
President by whom they may have been ap-
pointed, and for one month thereafter" unless
removed from such Offices ssby and with the
advice and consent of the Senate" Now, Mr..
Stanton has never been appointed ''during the
term of the President under whom he so
meanly and factiously insists upon retaining
his position He was reappointed Secretary
of War by the late President in April,
1865; but certainly no sane man will
contend that President Lincoln's 'term
of Office" could continue after his ''term
of life." The constitution expressly
regards death, insanity, or impeachment by
the Senate as bringing Presidential ''term"
to its end; and again, if Mr.. Lincolns ''term
of ofice"-four years from March A. 1s65-be
not yet legally over, why is the Senate now
sitting as Court of Impeachment, with Chief
Justice Chase for its highest expounder of law,
in the matter of trying 'Andrew Johnson,
President of the United States, for high crimes
and misdemeanors? The whole trial would be
ridiculous were it not for the grave conse-
quences with which it threatens the peace of
the country, our financial credit at home and
abroad, the stability of our institutions, and the
dignity of the American people. Never before
have we seen 80 complete and crushing re-
jonder to partisan charges as may be found in
the Presidents answer to Butler, Stevens and
company, published yesterday. The defence
is perfect in it's mere statement without calling
single witness; and if Chief Justice Chase
could rise to the full greatness of his duty he
would at once put the black-toothed and black
hearted Old Woman Of the radical party out OF
court, on the ground that her accusations, even
if proved in their extreme extent, are too
utterly trivial and too obviously malignant for
the serious consideration of serious men in such
serious times as we have now fallen upon.

The replication of the radical majority in the
House of Representatives to the answers of
Mr.. Johnson is general in its character and,
with but few alterations, the same as was tele-
graphed by our special correspondent at Wash
ington. 1t briefly denies all Of the averments
in the answers and declares that the President
is guilty of the high crimes and misdemeanors
charged in the articles of impeachment The
replication was adopted by the House by
strict party vote, after a futile resistance by
the democrats, one of whom (Mr. Eldridge)
protested against its going before the world in
the name s'of all the people of the United
States."


Johnson's motion to give the President ten
days time in which to prepare for trial was of
interest. The court retired to consult on the
motion and on an amendment of Mr.. Summers
to proceed forthwith with the trial, and after
being absent for two hours returned and
announced the decision to be that the trial
shall commence on Monday next, thus giving
Mr.. johnson but four days in which to make
oil necessary preparations. By this decision
it will be seen that the Senate appears to be
as anxious to rush matters through with in
decent haste as the radical majority of the
House themselves. What transpired during
the consultation we publish in our report of the
proceedings 1t will be noticed that the vote
by which the short space of time granted was
arrived at was close, being twenty-eight yeas
to twenty-four nays. Some thirteen republican
Senators voted with their democratic col
leagues against the motion, but whether
their object in so doing was to prevent the
President from having any time granted at
all, is, of course, not known. Senator
Wade was not present, and consequently
did not vote. The decision of the Senate
having been given there will be a pause
in the proceedings, and for the remainder Of
this week the solemn farce which has been
enacted at Washington for the past two days
will be suspended, although on Monday next
it will be restored to the boards for the edifca-
tion of the public and the benefit and perpetua-
tion of the power of the radical party.
