Xbt Staff ef Jaemel Sala-a Appeals to
the gtTt 'Piqmate" WboUuU Hob
beriea aluraars.
The New York. Timet11 correspondent, writing
from Jacmel J nly 8. says:
Political affairs have taken a sudden turn.
President Balnave, being bo closely besleed
recently. Bent agents among the "Plquata ' to
procure assistance from them, lhese Plquata
are "savage neurons," living In tlie deserla and
mountains, hair-naked and armed with wooden
lances. They belong to any Government that
promises them pillage and gives tbem license
10 murder. President liae7., of tbe neighboring
Dominican Republic, bavin acquired tbe Pre
sidential seat through Balnave's Influence, has
come to Ins assistance, and has sent one called
Toruus Urlstl to tbe frontiers for the purpose.
Toiiirs Crlsil Joined the Piquet and assaulted
tbe village ol bale Trou, pillaging and burn
ing the whole place. From there the Piquets
swarmed over tbe southern line as far as Leo
goane, where tbey robbed Ueneral Pellon Fau
beit's IsmtlyauU burned many bouses. Tbey
even besieged tbe town completely, and would
have destroyed It, bad it not been saved by tne
timely arrival of General Hector. This distin
guished warrior, who was with tbe armies be
sieging Port-au-Prince, bearing the dre-dtul
tidings, started at once (4lu instant) from bead
quariers at Carrefour with 600 men, lo render
tne required assistance, lie encountered tne
piquets at Leouoane, and routed them com
pletely, eztcutlug many of tbem. From there
be continued bis march, dispersing and de
stroying all the bancs on bis way, till lie arrived
at this town, jle wan slightly wounded in tne
shoulder.
On bis arrival, tbe strictest measures to In
sure public safety were adopted, and the whole
Population was called to arms. Twenty-nine
lqueis were shot ibis morning. One of thorn
cried out at tbe moment of execution, "I die
wilb pleasure, as I have killed mauy whltesand
mulattoeB." This rising of the Piquets has de
generattd into a war ot races, lor tbey seek to
pillage and destroy tbe colored population. No
prisoners are made. Those that are caught are
shot without delay. Tbe Piquets are very badly
armed, but tbey are numerous, and it will re
quire all tbe energy of Ueutrai Hector to dis
perse tbem. Meanwhile iheir success may give
bopes to Balnave, and prolong big unwarrant
able struggle.
Tbe siege of tbe town continues, but no deci
sive attack has taken place, as the besieging
army does not consider itself sulllclently Btrong
and awaits reinforcements. Ueneral John
Lynch baa been appointed Commander-in-Chief
of the besieging forces.
General Cabral, Luperou, and otber Domini
cans are here, awaiting the fall of Halnave, to
Join In tbe revolution wblcb bas broken out In
Bt. Domingo to overthrow Baez. Jt is rumored
that they bave tbe promise of a Haytien
steamer to blockade Ht. Domingo City, as soon
as tbe triumph of the Haytien revolutionists Is
assured.
galaave Proclaimed Emparor-ffhi Vw
Una! Political Partita.
Kingston, Jamaica, July 14. Things In
11 u j tl ut the latest advices (luly 9) bad become
Desperate in tbe extreme. Murders were fre
quent, and foreigners were rather freely dis
posed of. In consequence complications were
Inevitable,
Halnave bad proclaimed himself Emperor of
Hayti.
On Sunday, July 6, processions of the lower
classes paraded tbe streets of Porl-au-Prlo.ce,
shouting, "Vive l'Empereur I Vive Halnave!"
Five lnburgent leaders from tbe vicinity of
Leogoane were shot without trial on tbe after
noon of tbe 6tb.
Tha two parties now at war in Hayti are
known by the expressive titles or "i,lzarus"
and "Cacos." The first support Halnave, while
tbe second, known as well, bitterly oppose
him. These names originated during the car
nival a few years back, when politics found
vent in songs to the neat of tbe drum. In oirte
of these souks occurred the following lines:
Dere Is no bouse
lie Lizard dou't lib in!
Dere is no tree
Oe Lizard don't climb In!
This was interpreted to mean that there was
no position to which tbe laborers of liayll
might not aspire, and this doggerel, having
been Bet to a popular air, was sung with great
zest by all tbe lower orders of society; the chil
dren of tne upper classes learned it from tbelr
nurses. The lizard affords an excellent idea of
insignificance coupled with skill and agility.
Tbe higher class party found vent for tbe decla
ration of tbelr sentiments in tbe same humor
ous way, styling themselves "Cacos," after a
black parrot that feeds upon lizards. They sung
a doggerel, with the following chorus:
De Cacos, O I de Cacos, eu t
Ue Cacos eat tbe lizards, oh !
This aflbrus an inkling into the character of
those engaged in the present struggle in Htytl.
The Cacos are tbe better classes of the people
tbe proprietary party. Tne "Lizards" are the
lower classes, laborers, artlzans, draymen, etc.,
who support Balnave, wbo understands bis
part well. There is good generalship in his
present plan. He well knows tne omcers of the
revolution will not expose themselves to lead
an attack, and thereiore so long as be shows
preparations to repel an assault there is little
tear of Port au Prince being taken. He calcu
lates tbat by holding out be will eventually
dampen tbe ardor of Kaubert's troops andtuat
they will quit tbe siege In disgust and return
to their homes. Tnus he will bo left master of
tbe situation.
Tbe whole of Hayti is in such a state to-day
that the leading and most respectable men ot
the republic are bailing General (Salomon, now
in Pails, as the only man capable of re-establishing
order and tranquillity in tbat misruled
Island, where commerce and strangers sutler
more at present than in any other purl of the
world.
CUBA.
New Regulation Aflectlag Ceramerca,
Tbe New York Herald' correspondent, writing
from Havana, July 25, says
A royal decree tbat appeared in the Gaeeta
Ojicial of the 20th is of groat interest and Im
portance to the commerce of all Hpanish pos
sessions, and therefore demands a passing
police at my bands. By this decree the klloll
tro, or cubio metre, becomes the legal ton for
tbe burden measurement of vessels coining
into Spanish ports. Tbe Custom House regu
lations relating to tbe collection of saul
tary dues in accordance with articles 682
and 6)v! ot those regulations and tne re
duction process of the existing tonnage
of all national and foreign vessels to tne
kllolltro standard are arranged in conformity
with tbe law of July 19, 1841), and form fifteen of
those adopted by the periuHnout Commission on
Weights and Measures. The arrangement for
these (articles 582,583) Is extended and applied
First, to the turilla and regulations relating to
the premiums for the construction of vessels
ot more than 400 tons; second, to tbe prohi
bltlouary admission of vessels of foreign timber
that do not possess this capacity; third, to the
payment of the tariff duties appertalulng to
iron and wooden vessels when making tbelr eu
tiles; lourih, to all other operations and deeds
connected with the custom revenues. The
decree Is not to have any retroactive effect, but
is only appllcuble from its publication, aud no
reclamations or claims for damage or Injuries
arising from lis execution are entartainable by
the Government. The latter provision must
necessarily Insure tbe decree an unwelcome
reception from American shipowners aud
masters. The change in the standard repre
sentation of tbe ton unity and the divers com
plicated provisions for a compliance with tbe
altered condition of measurement will but
add to the many emburrassments and cum
plexillesnow already In the way of American
commerce with Hpanish ports. No doubt
many cases of unpremeditated error and
perfectly unintentional deviations from tbe
requirements ot tbe law must arise, and to fine
atiu punish tbe lnuoeent Infractors without any
allowed opportunity of appeal to the good sense
and Justice of higher parlies Is unwise, unjust,
and even tyrannical. You may be sure that
there will bean increasing percentage of Impo
sitions and outrages upon American commerce
to report on account of tbla decree, Tbe already
complicated relations between the American
Government and tbe Cuban authorities must
become more so until patience and forbearance
shall cease to be virtues, and ilia American
people, rising in tbelr mlubt, shall require from
Hpaln, without the alternative of daclenslou.
that a more enlightened, honest, aud liberal
policy be followed toward American commerce.
COLFAX.
nia Or aad Recaption at Chicago.
From Fort Wayne to Chicago the Jonrney of
Breaker Colfax was a series of ovations. At
every town and village tbe people greeted him
with tbe greatest enthusiasm, and flgs were
displayed at every cross-road. Mr. Colfax, at
each station, thanked tbe people f ir their wel
come, and we feel that It was but an earnest of
what force they could muntsr to fight in tbe
service ol America's great captain. A serenade
was tendered him at his hotel in Chicago, on
tbe evening of July 8Utb. In response to an
address of welcome from Mayor Hice, Mr. Col
fax f aid:
I did not come bf fore you to-night, even in
response to your flattering call, to speak to
you in regnra to the polltloal issues of tne day.
I have done ao often enough before in your
principal bouses, in your halls, in Chicago, in
all tbe places where the people contcrem&ie. I
bave spoken on the publlo measures, on the
policy wblcb you de'-m best for tbe prosperity
of this country of ours. 1 bave spokeu of these
with no uncertain voice. There la not one
among you but what knows what my princi
ples iind convictions are. They are a part of
my being. Tbey bave grown with my growth.
They have strengt hened with my strength. At
I bave stood by them In ttie past, so shall I
stand by them, unswervingly, In the future.
(CLeers.)
I have not deemed it proper or advisable for
one who bas been chosen by the representa
tives of tbe American people to take the second
position in their gift, to speak upon the poll il
eal 1sBues of the day to go upon the political
arena as if bis office were unknown, mere to
express his thoughts to the public. My record,
wtietber for good or for ill, is before you all. For
fourteen long years it bas been wrlUen down In
tbe record of your country; and I can sty, be
fore my God to-nlubt, there is not a single Hue
tbat. dying, I would wish to blot out. (Cheers.)
Whatever msy bo the result of this canvas,
and t bough I am not the one to predict, I have
still fait h, however, and confidence in tbe re
sult; I believe that God reigns; I believe that
there Is an overruling Providence, that holds iu
His bands tbe destinies of nations. And when
I bave read In letters coming from the Boutn
tbat Its smouldering fires are kindling into
flames that you bave read wit bin tbe last few
da; s I believe that that Providence that
watched over our trials aud onr armies through
sorrow and gloom, that brought our soldiers
from gloom to the sunlight of victory, never
intended to surrender tills great country of ours
into tbelr bands.
I have nothing to say of the platform of our
party. My views on that subject I bave alieady
unfolded, I have nothing tosayol the candi
dates. But there is one subject on which my
lips are not sealed, or that my lips will not
be sealed npon until sealed in deat h and tbat
Is tbe noble party which is a part of the Henub
llo to-day. I thank God that there Is sucti a
party to-day. Its deeds are written upon the
brightest prges of our history. And
when we shall pass awny, your children and
your children's children, sball rise up and call
you blessed, because you sball bave stood up In
tbe perilous hour of our conntry. It Is among
the most precious of our recollections, that
when tbe storms of war burst upon us, that
when we spoke with bated brealb, only one
party Bald, "Come weal or woe; to tbe lam man
and to the last dollar, we will stand by tbe
country to tbe last drop of our blood, to the last
beat of our hearts." Through sorrow and
gloom we foil eh t on till our republlo was saved
and tbe Rebellion was crushed.
INDIANA.
Tht Welcome of Ooviraor mrton at
ldlaaapolls.
The citizens of Indiana indicated again on tbe
night of July 2!, in a manner unmistakable,
that tbe man whom they oallGovernor Morton
In dear to llieir Imarta. Anil lhat tbr Uoltght to
do him honor.
The demonstration was a splendid affair
certainly more brilliant tnan anytnlng else
ever witnessed In this city. In addition to the
general outpouring of the citizens here, delega
tions were in from along the lines of all tne
various railroads. The line of march was finely
illuminated, end while thousands crowded
about tbe speaker's stand, fully as many were
turned away, unable to get within bearing
distance.
Governor Morton In his address, said: "But
if further evidence was wanting lu regard to
the character of tbe Democratic party, aad In
regard to the character of Its purposes, it is
found in the nomination of General Frank
Blair and tbe letter upon which be was nomi
nated, and without which be conld not bave
been nominated. (A portion of the letter was
read.) I repeat there is tbe remedy pointed out
by Frank Blair. They cannot change the Gov
ernment without changing the Congress. He
states tbat they can accomplish this thing by
legislation. Bnt tbey cannot undo it under
four years. How then do tuey propose
to undo what we have done? By electing
a President wbo shall have command of
the army and that be shall, by military power,
overturn and disperse those loyal Btate Govern
ments; that he shall by tbe military power and
in defiance of the aots of Congress, reinstate
the Kcbel btate Governments, return thelteuels
to power, and place tbe Union men or tne
Boutb, wblteand black, in the hand of these
Itebels who brougnt the war upon us. This Is
tbe remedy proposed by the Dumocrailo candi
date for the Vice. Presidency , and I would like
to appeal to any honest Democrat, within the
sound of my voice, does he approve of this?
Does he propose never to submit to the will
of the Government? Does he propose now,
in tbe middle of the eeveutn year,
to resort to warand bring upon us all uie horrors
of revolution? Head tbe remainder of the Blair
letter. He says that he wants to stand before
tbe convention upou luis proposition to renew
the rebellion, He did go before the Convention
npon tiiat proposition, and he was nominated
upon tbe first ballot, while Horatio Seymour, I
believe, was not nominated under some twent7
five or thirty ballots. Here is tbe direct propo
sition. He Is to be nominated, if at all, upon
a proposition to overturn tbe State Governments
by military force, and thus again bring war
npon us. You who want war, vote for Frank
Blair; but you who want peace, vote for Grunt,
for be said "Let us buve peace." Applause
