3 PARAGUAYAN AFFAIRS, A Talk With Emiliano Lopez, Son of the President of Paraguay. aneneisinharipiasi His Views on the Present Situation—His | Pic! region, Where they dara not Father Not Filed Nor Conquered—The Brazilians and Argentines Ex- hausted—Extract of a: Let- ter from His Father. WASHINGTON, Jan. 11, 1870. Aprince, or forthat matter any foreign novie Mnéividual, is always an object of iuterest among us. 4% @ rule, your American gentiemen in such case makes of himself a first class soady and noodle, and as for your American lady, we all know how she perfectly adores the “sweet prince,” or lavishes her entire stock of praise and admiration upon ons of Resa note and elevated rank. ur mere American stands no chance af such times in competition with the dazzling splendors of tne foreign beaux. But ow is ic with the sons and daughters of our Presi- dents? Do they, or have they, come in for the same amount of worship at home or abroad? Are they fatrerod il séted or have they been, ty the wealthy classes of this glide or by the ‘ttWed grades on the other side of the big ocean? Atthe present moment I can recall but one notable 4ustance where such has been the case, and that was when the late and Jamented John Van Buren— whe republican priuce—went to Europe and was 80 pleasantly received by our British cousins, Bat amde from Prince John, who was & “perfect brick,” upon whom the men of America could plaster their adwiration becomingly, and who was not to be despised, either, as 2 lady’s cavalier, there nas been no Presidential offspring, now remembered, who became anehject of remarkable notice or attention, or apon whom an extravagant quantity of adu- jation was expended. Bob Johnson, son of Andy the Second, was a good fellow in his way, but he gave rise to no furor. Old Abe SAn- coin had some sons, but they were young and not particularly famous in any way. President ‘Tyler's soos were smart and intellectual, but waen aid they ever set either the Potomac or the James on fre? When did they cause a volcano in the @ocial sphere? Going still further, when did we ever make a juss about the son of any distinguished Republican of any other part of the American Conti- nent? Itts not creditable to us a8 a nation, but we are obliged to answer, “never, never.” { am led to these reflections by the fact that we have among us at the present moment, mm Washing: ton, the son of a distinguished South American celebrity, Whose career has been more remarkable than that of some of the great heroes of antiquty, and who has done as iuch for the principle of national government as many men of this mge who have been honored and glorified without measure. The intrepid President of Para- Guay is the iliusinions father to whom I refer. and Don Emitiano Y. Lopes is the son, who 1s now sojourning in our national capital and quietly working to induce our government to give a mite of assistance—only a mite—to the cause of repub- Mean government in South America. He is only the son of a republican President, and there 18 no furor over him, He 19 not féced and fattered like the sprigs of royalty and nobility that occasionally drop in upon us; bat for all that, perhaps, he nas ten times more ‘brams aad vastly more attractive qualities than one-half Kuch celebrities, and, there- tore, is far more deserving of attention and cordial greetings. Don Emiliano is quite a young man—about tweu- ty-one years of age—of medium stature, and though not, perhaps, what a romantic young iady of sixteea would cail handsoiwe, still very good looking, with clear, intelligeut and soitiy expressive black eves, rather dark complexion and hair the same. Peopie who have seen the President Lopez declare that Bmihano is tue picture of be father. He is an go- courplished young man, and that modern wonder— a steady one. ‘The vicissitudes of his fatuer, no doubt, have made him look upon the serious side of life with @ perception beyond his years. Don Emiliano received most of his education at the Jesuit College of Beaumont, tn London, and at St. Barbe, in Paris. He speaks both Engitsn and French quite Auently. His education, by Oirection of his father, was shaped originally to Mt him for the law; but bis own tastes Iuctined bia w the study of military setence, and more recently he has devoted himself to the pursuit of 1uformation on such subjects. ‘Thus much by way of preface. In view of the witerest fit in South Amerl- can allalrs by the people of this coun- try, and particularly anstlung — conceraing Paraguay, of which wo have all read so much recently, your correspondent thoagat 16 Wouid be of interest to have “a calk” with young Lopez, and accordingly wended bis way to tho fashionable Arlington, sent up his card, and ina few moments was in the presence of the sou of the so-called ‘“‘su0ns ’ of Paraguay, who has been re- ported annihilated at least ainecy-ume times within the past few mouths by the Brazilians ana Argen- tines. Young Lopez was composediy smoking, but justanvy pot down lis cigar, extended nis band cordially and inyited your correspondent to be seated. CORRRSPONDENT—I came to have a Little talk with you, Mr..Lopez, about Paraguay, lu the hope of ob- taining sone light as to the real condition of things in that country. Lorez—I am very ylad to see you, sir, and will cheertully furnisi any information you may desire m my possession. Tye NeW York HERALD, Lre- member, has been the greatest friend of my father's couse in America, Jt has been always & consisient and intelligent supporter of the Paraguayan struggle agatust Brazilian aygressiveness, aud 1 cannot reca!l the iact without grateful remembrance. My father’s cause has been greatly misrepresented. He has been abused and calicd monster by the Brazilians. He has been represented as the foe to the free govern- ent of Puraguay, waen he has been strugguny tor years te defend i, and has wade cvery sacrilice for the sake of 118 country and people, CoRnResVONDENT—L see that the Argentine Mints- ter has notified our government oficiatly that the Paraguayan war is at an end, and that the Argeu- , yes! that Was very cleverly it was a good pieve of di 1 with Garcia, rgenting Minister, for he yer enouge ali from the Brazilians, He is completely under their intuence.

Wat do they say? enough they concinde the war 13 a an Lepez 1s defeated beyond hope, and tb have conquered. Pevple so readi Yy what does Lopez want us to do? We can’r pelp bun now, for he no longer has a goverument. ‘What business bas ms son to come here ssking our aid under such circumstances?’ You see that the ordinary reader might yery well argue that way. ‘And J could not blame bit. ine American people are practical and don’t want to be | made fools of, This is way i way Mr. Garcia, the Argentine Minister, or the Brazilians, bis prompters, deliberately sent that notification to your govern: ment. Garcia never had autaority to do ao from his own government. He aid it of his own accord. He did itto create the impression twat Lopez was be- | ond help and that my efforis might be useless. ‘ou see wiat I mean? CORRESPONDENT-—Ob, yes, quite clearly, Lorgz—Now, look here.

They have abandoned it already, in fact, Well, when ail the hostile army of tue al’iea 1s gone, What will prevent my father from marching back and ID Possession of the Who.e country again? My father will never give up while he has liie and he cau get with him even the sinullest army. He would sooner die than live to see his couatry ruled by Bra- ilian influence, He knows the true object of Brazil 4s to make the rest of South America subservient to that empire; that it wants to build up @ grand slave empire and crash all the repu biican governments of South America. That is the reason, being a iriend Of free government, he never will consent whic living to allow Brazil to carry out her schemes. pen PONDENT—DO you ever hear irom your er Lovez—The last communication I had from bim Was more than six months ago. Then be wrote me along private letter. ‘ Here young Lopez went to his trunk and produced the letter. He read some parts, translating at the sume time, and enjoining beac correspondent not to pullish anything about it. There were some ex- tacts, however, which were of interes(, ana alter some hesitation and reluctance he allowed ime to copy a few. Lovuz—My only reason for not liking to publish them is because they are private and it might not be Proper, But as you tink 1 can do no hari i permit you to copy. ‘The following ts an extract from the letter: T recommend to you to tise the most ri on 3 for Tknuw nos whee t may be avie to-seud:yoe money, Got I sbail be able ever to do #0. Our fortune is almost war, and Lhave resolved to place all that re- 6 service of my country, * * * ‘The war, cannot endure much longer, and if this coun: try 1s waved all will be saved. But if, unhappily, ahe falis [ wiil fall with her, and then, as I said before, you will be th sole hope of your little brothers; and I recommend to you, in that case, to work, oven though itbe 10 willing the soil, in order that bread may not fail them. And #0 our God will help and all, and you will be blessed by Him and by me. Whilo reading unis extract from his father’s letter young Lopez was greatly affected. He remaimed silent for a few minutes after reading ana tien re- sumed the conversation. Lorez—You see by that letter that my father bo- Meved when he wrote it that the war could pot Jase much longer. He knew that the resources of the alues would become exhausted avd that they would Rave to abanuon the war; but he was determmed never to yield to the invaders, wud if uecessary to make ‘a sacrifice of himeelt. The contest wilt Paraguay has been very expensive to the Brazilians and their allies, 1t has cost une Braziians wone one militon and a half dollars per day. I do not douvi that the total expense incurred ainvants to very nearly that of your own war debt. Lou will scarcely credit that statemeat, but it is true, lassure you. And what have they gained by it ait Abso.ately nothing in the way of permauent resaits, They have caused my father’s people great suffdrings; they have poured out lives and treasure iike water. and iow they must lose all again that they have taken of our territory. The moment they leave our sou my iather aud bis people must regain every (ing. COKERESPONDENT—I suppose the people of other parts of South America do not favor the war against Paraguay ? Lornz—No, sir, The Uruguayans and the Argep- tines themselves have been opposed to it ail the while, but their rulers forced them into it. You know that the cause of the war grew out of the dis- honorable couduct of Brazil m demanding of the President of Uruguay indemnity for wuat he caticd outrages on Brazilian snuvjects. The Urtiguayan President was at the time endeavoring to crusn a rebeilion, headed by Flores, aad the outrages com- plamed of by Brazil were committed by that Flores and not by the ment government of Uruguay. The beople of that country were divided ito two great parties, ‘the Blancos and the Colorados. Fiores was tho leader of the latter and was helped into power by the Brazilians. My father espoused the aide of the rightful President of Uruguay against Flores, use be belicved the Brazilians, siiouid they succced in controlling one of the republics, would endeavor to absorp all the rest after a while. but this you know already. There 1s something about the future which you may not understand. Urquiza, the Governor of Enire Rios, @ State of the Argen- tine confederation, tas never taken part iu the war against my father, He is a powerful ruler, He bas command; larger, indeed, than all the other States of the con- federation put together. Now, Urquiza has always been a friend of my father. Suppose when the allies jeave Paraguay, my father ye pearg at the head of an army and quickly recovers possession of the whole country, think you then that Urguiza will rematn neutral? No, sir. He will maybe help my father, and two such armies united would soon change the war from one ol defence to one oj very formidable aggression. Mr. Lopez conversed for a long time and said a* great many other things, explaining all about the datties iought, the resources of Paraguay, &c., but it would occupy too much space to reproduce the whole. [ have given the leading poiuts which I thougat could be of interest, THE TELECRAPHERS SIRIKE. Meeting of Operators Yesterduy—Both Pare ties Firm. Iv1s obvious that the fight now going on between the Western Un'ou Telegraph Company and the operators on a strike is to be a severe and hotiy contested confict. Neither side seems tn the leasy disposed to back down, now that they have gotten fairly af it, so the public may as wel) make up their mijads, first as last, to have their telegraph business either wholly neglected or fearfally buugied. ‘There can be but one rigut side to this controversy, and it it isa dificult matter to understand how any por- tion of # tree and enlightened public can sympathize with the powertul and overbearing mo- nopoly which se to grind its employes dowa te a position but little avove that of @ galley slave.

THE NEW JERSEY LEGISLATURE. ¢ The Opening Yesterday--Both Houses Or- ganized—Message of Gov- ernor Randolph. At the opening of the New Jersey Legislature, at Trenton, yesterday, both houses were crowded. ‘The organization was effected without any dificalty, as the oft'cers had been nominated in caucus previous to theassembling i the legislative halis. The politi- cal complexion of the Senate is thirteen democrats fo eight republicans; of the Assembly, thirty-three democrats to twenty-seven republicans, 60 that the democrats have a majority of eleven on joint ballot. The nowination o! officers by the repubilcans in oau- cus was therefore & mere formality. ‘The following oMcers were elected in the Senate:— President, Amos Robbins, of Middlesex; Secretary, John ©. Rafferty, of Hunterdon; Assistant Secre- tary, Charled Townsend, of Cumberland; Engross- ing Clerk, Alexander Rickey, of Mercer; Keeper of the ladies’ gallery, William B, Midiner, of Hudson, In the House, Leon Abbett, of Hudson, was re-elected Speaker; Aiexander M. Johnson, of Mercer, clerk; Joseph Shaun, of Unlon, engrossing clerk. On being Conducted to the chair Mr. Abbett delivered the inaugural address, in which he reviewed the mea- sures which would be submitted to the Legislature ‘at this seation, and concluded with @ hope that their deliberations would be attended with harmony. THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE. Both honses*havipg been declared organized the message of Governor Randolph was read, ‘The sec- ond paragraph of the document runs thus:—The Tigid execution of the laws by our judiciary has given that branch of the service great nouor, and the State stands, as it ever has, pre-eminent for tts ad- ministration of justice. Whatever changes time may indicate as desirable in the organic law—and none seem important now: te be made—I trust the present method of appointing our highest judas cial officers may never be departed from. What ts now our giory would under the elective system be- come our shame, tn all probability. TAXES TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. Notwithstanding the coming census will probably show the Stute to have a population of aeariy one million—in population as in tergitory we rank among the smaller States—yet in payment of taxes to the federal government, we are among the first, paying more income tax to the general goverament than any of the States save four, and as much as eight other Northern States combined, and more than ail the seceding States put torether. 1 refer to this fact to show our mater‘al growth and prosperity. That such @ monstrvcs imequality should exist under the federal laws 1s ainply suggestive without cou, ment. RELATIONS WITH THE STATES AND THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT. Our cities should have enough wharves, owned by them and under muaicipal control, to in- vite commerce under the fewest restrictions and charges. Our foreign commerce should pay lis custom duties to Oilicers witha the State and proper credit thereby given to the State by the geu erat government. Our rights, a8 with neighboring States, should be careiully considered and mata- tained, and alithe muluform aud incidental. ques. uons the subject suggests should receive your early and deliberate attention, Zz FINANCE.

Interesting Legisiative Statistics. The Legislatures of tne following States are now tn full blast:—Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Obio, Minnesota, Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Caroiina, Georgia, Loulsiana—15. What fear- ful outbursts of native oratery mnust daily reverbe- rate through the halls of legilation in these allicted sister States | A table just furnished to the Legislature of Massa- chusetts by tne Secretary of the Commonwealth, showing the lengtn of the legislative sessions in all the Stases except Nevada, presents some Interesting facts. Is Appears that in four States the system of paying by the session prevails, and the length of the sessions in those States are respectively forty- five, sixty-seven, one huudred aud two and fifty. eight days—an average for the four of sixty-eight days. There are nineteen States which have annual sessions, and the average duration is nearly seventy- seven days. The average lengih of sessions in the seventeen States (he Legislatures in which meet only once in two: yeers is nmety-eight days; butif the exceptional case of Onio were excluded the average would be only erghty-eight days. Five States adopt @ system of reducing the pay after a certain period, or cutting it of altogether. In Iilinola the session exceeded the prescribed pertod by twenty-five days; 1 Kansas, one day; m New Jersey, forty-one days; in Oregon, two di in New York, twenty-six days. The device does not seem to have been successful; but the reason may be that in the three States which show a large excess above the lmited term members depend upon other perquisites than their per diem allowance. ‘The largest datiy and aggregate pay to members ia im California, ten dollara a day and $1,200 in all, The other extreme is taxen by Rhode Isiand, which aliews only one dol- lar a day, or sixty-five dollars for the year past to each member. It (s not a little curious that fourteen States, excluding Tennessee, which pays four dollars in gold, give their members less than five dollars a day. The average duration of sessions in these States is fifty-eight and one-half days, Leaving out of the account those which pay a fixed sum there are eighteen States which give five dollars a day and upwards. In these the average length of nessions is 113% days The average for the thirty-six States is eighty-seven days. A WIFE'S STRATEGY. Novel Cure for Drunkennoss.
