•' The Case of Paraguay.
An article which wo copy from the New York
Commercial Advertiser, giving a succinct histo
ry of the attempt npon tho part of Brazil and
her allies to annihilate tho little Repnblic of
Paraguay forms a highly interesting sequel to
an editorial npon the same subject which ap
peared in the Teleosaph some weeks ago. A
long and bloody struggle has terminated for
onoo, ih.nlr God, in tho interests Of the weak
and tho right Paragnay with a million of he
roic population has utterly foiled foes aggrega
ting eleven millions, who began tho war with a
treaty among themselves to partition her terri
tory. Five years of cruel and vindictivo war-
faro inittioed without a solitary doubt of tho re
sult, has probably ended in the substantial ac
knowledgement of tho original statns, and in
the niter failure of all the objects for which it
was declared. The defence of Paraguay, un
der tho circumstances, is a story of heroism
oqnal to any which can be found on the pages
of ancient or modem history.
The Terrible Conflagration in Ufadi-
SOII.
We copy from the outside of today’s edition
a detailed report of the awful conflagration in
Madison last Thursday night. It is a sad story.
Sixty buildingB destroyed in a small town in a
few minutes, involving a loss of two hundred
thousand dollars, very littlo of which is covered
by insurance—a great many families made
homeless and destitute, and some of them suf
fering from tho want of food. It is a cose call-
ing for help from the other towns of Georgia,
and wo hope tho example of Augusta, who is
moving for this purpose, will be generally imi
tated.
Tin: Indiana Imdeoouo.—By last accounts
the resigned and re-elected members of the In
diana Legislature hod not taken their seats.
They havo insisted, as a condition, a pledgo
that tho 13th amendment shall not bo forced
npon them, and this has been refused by the
'Radicals. Many of tho latter, howover, prom
ise that tho amendment shall bo postponed un
til after tho other Legislation has been perfect
ed, but the Democrats receivo this promiso
with distrust. The latter wero to caucus
Saturday.
A Goon Chajuotkb.—Somebody, in an article
going the newspaper rounds, denounces all the
hard stories told npon the Princo of Wales, ns
mero slanders. This writor, on the authority of
Mr. Walter, Superintendent of tho London Me
tropolitan Police, and a man who knows every
thing that is going on, says tho Princo of Wales
is a liberal, jovial, free-hearted man, and in no
sort tho drunkard, debauchee and gambler he is
falsely represented to be. He is, on tho contra
ry, a model hnsband and father—as attentive as
any man can bo—and his children as well bred
as any children in England.
Western Stock Coming South.—Tho Water
Valloy (Visa.) Eagle says: “Another grand in
flux of mules from Kentucky and Tenncssoo, to
tho for South, has set in. Nearly every sonth-
ward passenger train daring the last week or ten
days had from two to four car-loads of tho long-
oared quadrupeds hitched on in frontof tho
lieggago car. It is estimated that tho border
States will sell from fifteen to twenty million
dollars’ worth of moles to tho cotton States this
year—not to speak of horses."
The “ Trejndlce against Color ”
Some small comfort it is that the Northern
dogmatists npon negro equality cannot alto-
gather escape the practical annoyance and vex
ation of their absurd and pestiferous doctrines.
The Tribune has been particularly exercised of
late upon this subject- It appears that a color
ed^ man bom Canada brought a letter of intro
duction to Mr. Greeley, and that gentleman
sent to inquire of one A. M. Powell where tho
colored man aforesaid could get “ hotel enter
tainment. Powell just then was looking out
for “ respectable ” lodgings'for “a Massachu
setts lady of wealth, intelligence and culture,
and her son, a gentleman tly young man of lib
eral European education, both slightly oolored.”
He wrote to the principal hotels, asking could
these persons “bo provided with good rooms,
be received at the public table, and have the
samo attention as other guests ?”
Powell—it is not stated whether he is black or
white—received answers, and for the informa
tion of the Tribune readers he gives the pur
port of these answers, thus :
SL Nicholas.—“ Never had such an applica
tion before. The parties had better make a per
sonal application.”
Metropolitan.—“Very sorry, but could not
possibly do so. Would lose all our guests, more
likely, if we did.
Aster House.—“ Impossible.”
Fifth Ave nue.— m Will give an answer another
time.”
Hoffman House.—“Will send an answer.”
Everett House.—“Proprietor in Mhssachn-
tts. Will send an answer when he retains on
Saturday.”
SL James.—Sent letter declining
Brevoort House.—Sent letter declining.
Westminster.—“ Not possible. Would havo
every guest leave if we did.”
Clarendon.—“ Impossible to make any prom
ises, as. we are very full about this time. Be
sides, our guests are generally such as stay with
ns somo time every year, and not like at other
hotels, come and go irregularly."
It seems that all tho hotels “dodged the is
sue,” except the very head quarters of ancient
free solism and modem radicalism—the Astor—
and that gave a plump no without explanation
This melancholy event gives the Tribune oc
casion for a homily about the disgraceful “pre
judice against color,” and may probably, also
give occasion to civil suits for damages against
these hotels. Beyond a doubt the question of
compelling a social intermingling of the white
and negro races inpoblio places and convey
ances is one which is destined to be contested
in the Courts and Legislatures of all the States,
os well os the Coarts of the United States.
Sevoral suits have already been brought, and
they will be constantly arising until the legal
question shall be finally and forever settled.
And this legal question will, in point of fact,
really taro npon the ethics of the esse. Is the
indisposition of the whites to interminglo so
cially with the blacks the result of a mere un
reasonable and unjustifiable “prejudiceor is
it instinctive, natural, proper and right? Did
the God of Nature design that theso two races
should mingle in tho daily
walks of social life, or has l^e drawn the lines
of distinction, ^murVutVin find contrast
broadly and deeply between them as to create
an instinctive, neoessary, natural, reasonable
and justifiable repugnance to such intercourse—
a repngnanco so well founded aa to defy any
kind of falso philosophy and fanatical legisla
tion to overcome it, and, in fact, to make all
such efforts treason against Nature herself.
Upon this point we have only to taka the ev
idence of the senses. We have only to call in
the aid of our physical perceptions—we have
only to invoke our own consciousness and to
oompore its verdict with universal human ex
perience. Tho attempt to incorporate the Afri
can race as an homogeneous element in the
grand social and political structure, is an out
rage npon reason and nature, and will come to
defeat and ahamo in spite of all present indica
tions to the contrary. No such thing was ever
yet successfully done, except at tho price of
physical and moral ruin to tho superior race;
and tho attempt to do it in America consigns the
negro to swift destruction. It gives point and
edge to an antagonism which can have but one
result—tho weaker must go to tho wall.
The Bboadwat.Railboad.—Property owners
in Broadway, New York, are much excited over
tho probability of tho paassge of a bill to an-.
thorizo a railway through that thoroughfare. A
call appears for tho property owners to go to
Albany in mass to opposo tho measure, and a
largo number advocate violent resistance to its
construction.
The 2Cth or Aran..—Tho Atlanta Now Era
learns that the Odd Fellows of Griffin are mak
ing' extensive arrangements for the 'Celebration
of the 23th of April—being tho fiftieth anniver
sary of tho introduction of tho Order in the
United. States. Invitations havo been extended
to the Lodges in Macon and Atlanta to unite

Editors Telegraph: In a tour through Hous
ton, Macon, Sumter, Dooly, Terrell, Leo, Ran
dolph, Calhoun, Early, Miller and Decatur coun
ties, I find tho farmers in excellent
and tho crops looking well. In some places
complaints aro rifo about tho scarcity cf labor;
but in most they aro tolerably well supplied.
Employers and laborers seem to bo getting on
harmoniously. Fertilizers are used very gener
ally and freely, and as large a crop of cotton has
been planted as planters had-any hope of man
aging well Both corn and cotton aro up and
looking well. The planters, I think, are as for
ward os I over saw them at this season of the
year. They aro now where they were on or
about the last of last April. Miller, Early, Cal
houn and Decatur counties are still very
fine ranges for puddle ducks.
The London Qcaeterlt, Leonard Scott’s re
print, has for contents : Lord Campbell’s Uvea
of Lord Lyndhurst and Lord Brougham; Reali

much delayed by the printers' strike.
Suicide op Twrrcinxn.—The testimony of Dr-
Shapleigh, who examined tho body of Twitchell,
is to the effect that his death was caused by
taking cyanide of potassium, a small bottle, con
taining about a quarter of an ounce, of which
was found secreted in tho too of a boot in the
cell.
Another Payment fbom the State Road.—
Superintendent Halbert announces, on tho 10th
instant, another payment of twenty-five thou-
sand dollars into tho State Treasury from the
income of the Western and Atlantic Railway for
the month of March last
Fine Harness.—The Sun says, we understand
a firm in Columbus is manufacturing a single set
of harness, the mountings of which alone cost
$340. For whom made we do not know. The
mountings are of gold.

The Sngar Prospects.
Tho New Orleans Times says:
Our planters who have arrived in tho city
lately give a good account of the appearance
Congreol and the States or Virginia,
■ississtppl and Texas.
It is something so new and strange, that any
positive action of the Congress of the United
States should be hailed with satisfaction by the
Southern people, that the fact “ gives us pause”
OGrSBZJ,
COMMISSION MERCHANTS,
and inspires us to invite special attention to it; tup,aT, ESTATE AND INSURANCE AGENTS,
we append, therefore, from the Richmond Dis
patch of last Friday, the sub jointed comments
upon the President's message, calling the atten
tion of Congress to the propriety of submitting
the Constitutions (so-called) of those States to
the people, and the action of Congress thereon.
Tho main features of tho bill alluded to appear
ed in our press telegrams of Friday:
Tho news received in this city from Wash
ington yesterday afforded great satisfaction to
the people. Bo frequently hare hopes that had
been based on signs from the Federal capital
been blighted, that a feeling -of distrust had
taken possession of the public mind, and little
faith was put in indications from that quarter.
So it was believed that the President would send
no message to Congress, and that if he did Con
gress would do nothing. The despondency was
deep and general.
Therefore, the message of the President was
a great surprise, yet it inspired littlo hope; but
when came the news of the prompt action of
the Honso of Representatives in passing tne
bill giving tho President the power to order an
election in Virginia, and to submit the Con-ti-
tution with a separate vote on its obnoxious
features, the effect was electric. There was
something as near joy as a people situated
just as wo aro can feel before there is any abso
lute relief afforded them, and new hope trasita-
mediately imparted to alL Night came npon a
people vastly more cheerful and buoyant than
they were in tho morning. If the Senate but
pass tho bill, then joy will bo greaL There will
be a bright tight cast npon the State, and the
way out of our troubles will he made dean
There will be a renewal of hope and energy,
men will begin to look ahead and plan for the
future, and we shall all feel that we havo es
caped a dark and dismal period, blacker and
more calamitous than any we have yet endured.
We trust we may today announce tho concur
rence of the Senate in the bill passed by tho
Honso. The consummation of the measure will
reflect the MghieT honor npon the President, I
and do more to restore harmony to the Union
than any event which has occurod since the war.
But let ns not be too confident Things are
still very much awry in Washington, and accord
ing to the telegrams tho Senate is somewhat
baulky on this subject
and prospects of the cane crop. The injury ap
prehended to the seed from the long spell of
cold and wet weather has proved insignificant,
and tho plant has a thrifty appearance. The
area planted is mnch larger than last season,
and in fact has only been limited by the difficulty
of obtaining labor. This difficulty is becoming
a serious and embarrassing one. Encouraged
by the high prices of their staples, especially of
V our planters would be justifiable and em-
ned to attempt a culture equal to that of
ante-bellum times, if they could command the
requisite labor. The natural resources of Lou
isiana are equal to the product of a sugar crop
sufficient to supply the whole demand of the
United States. They havo tho soil, the ma
chinery, all the appliances for cultivation, and
the energy and enterprise, Ynit the labor is lack
ing. Under these circumstances, and with the
troubles likely to continue for some time in
Cuba', the prices of sugar must advance.
Low Freights from Columbus, to New York.
The Columbus Son says:
We understand an agent of the Atlantic and
Gulf Railroad has been in the city several days,
making arrangements for tho transporting of
cotton over this route. We have no informa
tion concerning tho charges, except that they
are much lower than the Central Line. There
are 11,000 bales now at Columbus, and perhaps
1300 more to arrive, which will have to be taken
to the ports. The cheapest line will get the
freight The present rates are too high.
Since the above was written we learn that the
rate to New York is $1.45 per 100 pounds. By
fhe Central line it is $1.80.

John P. Wile Come to Grief.—The Presi
dent has caused a cable telegram to be sent to
Minister Hale at Madrid, notifying him that his
resignation will be accepted. There is rea
son to believe that. he will speedly be removed if
he does not resign. The quarrel between the
Secretary and Minister is better and disgraceful,
but the cause of Mr. Hale's retirement ties
chiefly in the fact alluded to last week in the
Spanih Cortes. He has not been bringing in
articles contraband of war, but has been using
his diplomatic privilege in tho way of trade for
his own benefit, and to & considerable amount.
It is said that he hnd connection with a store,
and brought in goods free of duty from Eng

We havo been furnished, says tho Augusta
Press, with a copy of the minutes of the Geor

these we condense the following facte and fig
ures : Number of preachers and members in
tho several circuits, stations and missions of the
Conference—12,OSS members and Ct preach-
era; infants and. adults baptized daring the

Sunday schools, teachers and scholars—23
schools, 114 teachers and 1,417 scholars. The
next session of the Conference is to be held in
The Chicago Tribune of the 2d insL breaks
ground against mongrelism, thus:
“Nobody, we presume, will suspect ns of
not being sound on ‘tho main question,’and,
therefore, we may frankly say that we think tho
negro question has got to that stage which all
questions in ethical and religions progress most
generally reach—the stage of canL Let ns

now to help himself."
Quite right; bat, tho moment cant is aban
doned, the negro question ceases to exisL It
has no root save in wild talk, utopian
and fanatic ignoranoe.—N. Y. World.
An English Lord’s Idea of Education.—Tho
English House of Lords has received an addi
tional stock of intelligence in the Marquis of
Salisbury. Tho noble Lord made a speech re
cently, in the course of which ho is reported as
saying : ‘ ‘Education in England does not dimin
ish crime, bat tho contrary. It makes the
poor clever and discontented; they read bad.
books and turbulent newspapers; get theories
of rights, of government and property which
tend to make them tnrhnlent and predatory.”
He seemed to think education good for Ameri
cans, where a rail-splitter dr a tailor may be

universal Yankee's adaptability in the following
manner: “An average American will chnngo
his occupation s dozen times until he finds the
right one. Let an English mechanic, artisan
or servant bo thrown ont of his employment;
ho will sit down and fold his hands in utter
helplessness, until ho can get tho samo kind of
iloymenL” Ho considered them as fixed
hopeless and shiftless as tho Chinese.
An Excrnso Incident.—Persons on the lower
wharves of tho city, a littlo after six o'clock this
morning, witnessed an incident that occurred
then in the river tho mortal agony of which, da
ring tho short time it lasted, rendered it intense
ly interesting. A gall had, with a swoop, struck
its talons deep into tho back of a fish, the size
it had " ‘ - - -
of which it had evidently mistaken, for instead
of bearing it way, as it had intended, tho fish
not only remained in tho water, but swam rapid
ly about on tho surface of the river, mounted by
its flattering and now alarmed assailant, which
was nnablo to disengage its claws from their
p. The bird in its endeavors at first to
carry off and then to free itself from its intended

iming gradually weaker from exhaustion, tho
would-be captor became tho captured, was
dragged screaming beneath tho water, and its
