It is well known to the country, and never been denied, that the withdgawt our Minister from Paraguay was a personal malice perpetrated by E. B, Wasit- BunNr, for ono week Secretary of State, to revenge a private quarrel of ono of his nu- merous brothers, In this sweeping revenpre not only President Lore and the Para- gimyan people had to suffer, but the tra ditional policy of our Government was to be reversed, our moral support withdrawn from the cause of republicanism in South America, and the whole weight of our official influence thrown in favor of the extension of the Brazilian Empire, and consequently of human slavery, over the, whole eastern por tion of that continent, Wo still remain without a Minister in Paraguay ; and notwithstanding repeated and grosg indignities offered to us within the last twelve months by Brazil and her allies, our relations with those countries continue un- disturbed, and their diplomatic agents in Washington are the only sources through which Mr. Fist secks and obtains informa- tion in regard to the position and prospects of President Loves. For it is well under. stood that Mr. Kix, our present Minister to the Argentine Republic, is wholly in the in- terest of the Government to which he is ac- credited, and that he makes an open boast of his hostility to Paraguay. But even if ho were impartial, he has no means of in- formation except such as the Government of Buenos Ayres allows him, Is it not time that some inquiry should bo made in Congress to know what reclamation has been made apon Brazil for the plunder of our legation in Asuncion # year ago, ‘and for the other indignities to which we have been subjected by this pre- tentious and arrogant empire? If the cause of republican independence in South Amer. ica has to be sacrificed to Gen, Grant's affee- tion for tho eldest Wastnunne, let us at least have satisfi for the repeated in- sults to which we have been subjected by the Brazilian Goyernment and its pliant tool the Argentine Republic. The prestige and influence of the United States in South America have been sorely Jamaged by the unfortunate carcer of Mr. Wasi while Minister in Paraguay, by the withdrawal of owr Minister accredited President Lopez, and by the present piti- fal attitude of the national Admfnistration. With Congress alone lics the remedy, smneteellliltale : Mr. Rongson’s principal achievement con- sists in impressing the maritime powers with a belief in the utter worthlessness of the American navy. In this country the prevailing impression is that the most worthless part of the navy is the pet at present engaged in the patriotic task of slittling it in the eves of forcign nations, But what does Mr, Ronesox caro? His name gures daily papers as the Amphitryon of inments, and as the best hand in dressing sulads and disposing of dainty dishes.

More cola would come in on such deposits than would be demanded, Possibly the first dash might reduce the coin in the Treasury a few mi'lions, but probably adoilar, Every day the leg’l tenders would be less by so much as was redeemed and de- stroyed, and every day the coin would be increased by 80 much as we take out of our mountains, The effect of the knowledge of such instructions to the Secretary would likely be #o put the legal tenders to par in coln Instanter, The volume of our currency would be jucrease’ by Just so much as we hold coln and builion in the country, probably not less than $40,000,000.

Take one illustration, which will serve to show up the general practice: Before Mr. Dawos made any Public move in the reduction of the estimates, which led to the recent sharp debate in the House, he called personally upon the President and sub- mitted the facts to his attention, and the same course was pursued toward the Secretary of the Treasury. Gen, Grant assured him that the mat- ter should be Inid before « Cabinet meeting and the estimates out down. The only practical no- tice that Mr. Dawes got on the subject afterward was a private note from the President asking that the pay of his secretaries should be raised, and one from Mr, Boutwell to the same effect for various officers in his Department! That was their notion of economy. Yesterday, Mr. Sumner, who costs the country millions of dolfars annually by his foolish legis- lation, besides being a disturber of the public peace, urged o bill in violent haste upon the Senate, creating four new offices for the State Department—an Examiner of Claims at $3,500, and three clerks at $1,800 0 year each, Not one of these officers is nocded, no matter what Mr. Fish may say to the contrary. ‘The last Congress abolished this very office of Exaiminer of Claims for its uselessness, which it is now sought to revive under the pretence that itis wanted. Everybody knows that no new claims of any consequence against foreign Governments have arisen since the last Congress; and even if all was true which is lamely alleged as a cover for large additional expense, we employ Ministers abroad for this sort of business, and require no such idle functionary here, During the rebellion the business of the State Department was at least five or ten times as great as it now is, and Mr. Seward conducted it with a smaller clerical force than actually exists at this time, He refused to ask for more assistance, And now in the midst of peace, and hardly aripple to disturb the surface of our foreign relations, Mr, Fish has the assurance to ask Con- gress to swell his list of unemployed office- holders, and to burden the ‘freasury with some $10,000 a year without # particle of necessity. And while this was going on in the Senate by special legislation, Mr. Kelsey, of New York, carried an amendment to the pending Appropria tion bill in the House, suggested, as he said, by Mr. Fish, for other additional clerks to make in- dexes, which Mr. Sunset Cox, in an effusion of gratuitons generosity at the cost of his con- stituents, supported. So that Mr, Fish was actually burning his candle at both ends, and getting his official staff increased at the same time in each branch of Congress under different pretexts. There are two Assistant Secretaries in the State Department, neither of whom is really required, Ono is professedly ornamental, the letter writter for the Zimer, Mr. Davis, and the other useful as an antediluvian may be. This description of office was abolished in the avy and War Departments at the close of the rebellion, and there is just as much reason why it should be stopped for the State Department. But all these officials wish to magnifiy their im- portance, and every kite has the to have a long tail, Hence Mr. Fish says he must have more pomp in his ofice, m more'tail to his kite, Mr, Fen in @ bil! to mak present of 200,000 or more to Russia, for pr tended injustice in imposing'dutics on hemp.
