French Comment ou Ihe Innnsnral.
From Le Conttitiuionnel, March 8.
The language employed indicates an honest,
trm, and enlightened mind. We recoguizo in
it the accents of a man penetra-cd with a feel
ing ef his duties, and of tho responsibility
accompanying the high functions to which he
baR been rulwd by the popular suffrage. That
honor, as he said, he had not solicited; It had
been conferred on him by the spontincous
Tote ol the majority of electors m the United
fetates. lie haB promised to insure a strict exe
cution of the laws, even those on which he
should have felt bound to set his veto, but
which have nevertheless received the definitive
eontccration of the Congress. "I shall have a
policy to recommend," said he, "out none to
enforce against the will ol the country." And
he added these words, not devoid ol a certain
depth: "I know no method so effectual to
ensure the repeal of obnoxious laws as their
stringent execution." Tbe whole first portion
ef the address is a sort of implied coudem nation
f the conduct of his predecessor. Mr. Johuson,
who could not be convicted ol having acted con
trary to the laws, but who had pcrnaps shown
less adroitness than courage in his efforts to
make his personal views prevail against the re
eislance ot Congress. In the second porlion
of his speech, General Grant insisted strongly,
as will be seen, on the obligations con
tracted by the United States with their
creditors, and on the honest execution of their
engagement for the payment ot the public debt.
Nevertheless, the phrae, "ProBtrale commerce
must be rebuilt and industry encouraged," may
give reason to fear lest the new President may
be a partisan of the evstem of prohibitions and
high tariffs, which mode is assuredly not the
best for encouragiDg trade. As to what con
cerns the foreign policy of the States, the Gene
ral has made declarations which raunot but be
applauded. They are summed up in the words,
"1 would respect the rights of all nations, and
demand equal respect for our own." Bach, in
fact, is the maxim whleti nations ought to ob
terve in their reciprocal intercourse.
from L Hiecte, March 8.
The language of the General is not addresed
solely to the American people, as it goes much
further, crossing the Atlantic, becoming for
those of ns who bave not lost our memories
the object of very painful comparisons. The
principal question touched on by the mew
President is that of the public debt. In the
United Sta'es peoplo do not think, as in
France, that indefinite burdens can bo cast
on the future, and that the grandeur
of nationB is in direct ratio to the
magnitude of their budgets. "A great debt
has been contracted," said the General; "it
roust be liquidated." And he added that, "to
protect the national honor, every dollar of the
Government indebtedness should be paid in
cold." In order to arrive at this glgntio reim
bursement of a sum which, on the 1st Instant,
was not less than $2,669,000,000. Mr. Grant asks
fer no exceptional measures: he thinks that a
"strict economy and a caretul collection of the
revenues of the Republic would suflico. This
ie the way finances are administered in a free
country.
The Property of the Irish Church.
Mr. Gladstone, lu answer to a question by
Sir 8. Nortbcote. on March 8, repeated his cal
culations as to the property of the Irish Church
in a sonewhat more precise and detailed form
than when be introduced his bill. Ilis figures

Lute numbers of the Aloni rur, the official
ereanot tke Ilaytien republic, contain some
strange disclosures on the subject of anuexa
tion to the I'nlted States.
On the 12th of January last, the Indepenclance
tfllaVe, a paper which supports the present
rebellion against the Government of President
Salnave, and which is published at Jacmel, a
town on tbe south coast held by the rebels,
spoke thus of President Johnfon's last message
to Congiess: "We have read. In spite of its
jircat length, the message of President Johuson
to the American CoDgress at the opening of tho
session. That document is altogether so Inter
esting that but for the pressure upon our space
it thould appear in full in our columns.
"We confine ourtclves, therefore, to repro
ducing that part of the message which relates
to our country. Let President Johnson and all
those who think with him know, however,
that the Haytlen is prepared to bury himself
under the ruins of his country rather than lose
his nationality. There are but two men bearing
the name of ilaytien who dream or who labor
to annex llnytl to a foreign power. Thcs? are
Salnave and liaez."
A few weeks after this had appeared, the text
of a decree parsed by the Council of State of
the Provisional Government, formed by the
Southern insurgents sitting nt Aux Cayes, fell
into the hands of President Sxluave. nnd has
just teen published In the Moniteur. The fol
lowing is a translation ot the decree:
Liberty Equality. Southern State ol Ilytl
Council of Btatc In view ot the extraordinary
events which have thrown the country iuto a
state of utur confusion, and the unparalleled
acts committed by President Saluave, whom the
country had selected as its Chief, tbe Council
of State, now assembled, resolves as follows:
Seeing that, according to the notification
made by the Government, under date of the 7th
of October last, to foreign powers, the State of
the Soutk wks legally constituted, and that
nine months of Incessant struggles for liberty
renders it a solemn duty for the Government to
employ every possible means tor maintaining
itsei; and saving society from imminent peril:
In the name of the people of which it is the
representative, and in the name of humanity
and the public safety, it is decreed:
Article 1. Tbe State of the South solemnly
proclaims that Unlaces It self andcr the protect
torate of the United States of America a. Us
natural ally.
Article 2. Until the above-named power shall
have transmitted its acceptance, its Consuls are
tolicitedto take proper measures for arresting
tbe depredations ot General S.iluave, and lor
protecting the Interests of their nationality.
Article 3. Tbe State of the South promises
and engages itself to employ its good ofiices
with the (overnment of the Korth and Actibo
nite to induce them to place under the Protec
torate the other parts of the territory occupied
by the revolution.
Article 4. The present decree shall be promptly
carried out by the Executive power.
Made at the National House of the Council of
State, at Caves, 16th of January, 1869, in tbe
66th yearof independence; Dupont, Jr., Vice
President; T. Chalvire, M. Aruoux, Secretaries:
Manuel J. Zele, L. Vaval, R. V. Heme, Seveille,
Saereroy, members.
The President of the Pouthern State orders
that the present decree be duly sealed with the
State seal, and executed with all diligence by
the Secretaries ot state. uomikquh.
Iu publishing this decree, the MonUeur ex
presses astonishment and indigoation that the
men wbo had been accusing Saloave of having
alienated Cape St. Nicholas, and of having con
tracted engagements with the American Govern
ment looking to tbe annexation of Haytl even
tually to the United States, should have taken
Euch a step as the above decree reveals; but it
aiiae, "lne Amencun uoverniueni, wnicn lives
ia good relations of amity with the Goveinment
of the Republic, properly informed upon tbe
real sentiments ot our nation, will repel with
scorn thla cuipame overture." ine Monreur
insinuates that similar overtures have bten
made to the Governments of France and Eng
land, but no positive proof of this has yet bceu
obtained.
VENEZUELA.
The Settlement of American Claims. -
The Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs will
report in favor of demanding of Venezuela a
compliance with tbe terms of the treaty for the
tettlement ol the claims of American citizens,
according to the Convention of April, 1866. The
amount of the claims presented to tho coin mis
sion for adjudication was four millions, eight
hundred thousand dollars. The amount ot
awards by this commisbiou was one million two
hundred and titty thousand dollars, which was
to be paid to the United Sta'es in ten equal in
stalments. The first instalment is due, and
Venezuela has not paid it, but has accredited a
special agent to this country, with iustructions
to ignore tbe whole amount of tbe awards.
Correspondence between Mr. Seward and the
Venezuelan agent ou mis suuiect was sent to
the benate a few days since.
Although the fact has not publicly transpired
us to the position taken by our Government, it
is understood that Mr. Reward gave Venezuela
to understand that she will not be allowed to
set aide the treaty, but will be expected te
comply with its provisions iu the matter of
payments, mere is also a proposition oerore
tbe committee making provision for the pay
ment ot these awards, by our Government,
which, by terms of tienty, li made the creditor
of Venezuela.
The argument of those who seek this arrange
ment is that the award having been made in
colo, and drawing 6 per cent, interest until the
whole instalments are paid, the Uuited States,
by assuming to pay, would make about four
hundred thousand dollars, taking into account
the difference bwtween greenbacks and gold
and the interest, aud tbey add that our Govern
ment can force the collection, while our citi
zens cannot. Ledger.

Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
Washington, Maroh 22.
Despatches received from Admiral Hoil at the
Navy Department to day give some account o
affairs iu Hay tl. It appears that on February
10 Salnnve appeared before the town of Anx
Caves and announced his determination to
bombard It at once. This gave rise to great
excitement among the inhabitants, many o
whom appealed tJ tho United States naval com
mandera to protect them. Commander
Abbott, of the Yantic, had an interview with
Saluave, when the latter expressed his willing
ness to allow all neutrals to depart before com
mencing hostilities. A large number of refugees
fled to the United States ships.
Domingue, leader ot the opposition forces,
gave notice of his intention to defend the town
to the last, and lefused all terms of capitula
tion, Domingue stated to the United States
naval authorities that he hai written to Secre
tary Seward offering to annex to the Uuited
States that part of the inland under his control
and requested the United Slates Minister to use
the power of tbe United States to prevent Sal
nave from bombarding the town uutil Mr.
Seward's reply was received.
This request was refused. Several Americans
who took refuge on board the Yantic were con
veyed to sea thirty miles, to be out of danger.
But at the lat accounts Salnnve had not bom
barded the town of Aux Cayee.
Washington, March 22. Air. D. J. Cochran,
lor many years connected with the dry goods
trade iu your city, is an applicant for the posi
tion of Appraiser in the Philadelphia Custom
House, having the support of the commercial
and mercantile community, to which he is
favorably known. In the judgment ot his sup
porters, he will make an excellent officer.
Despatch to Associated I'rets.
Emigrants to Virginia.
Washington, March 22. It appears from the
Richmond Whig of to day that several Austrlans
will arrive next week to settle a few miles below
Bichmoud. A large influx of Englishmen will
arrive at horiolk in April, and arrangements
have been made tor an extensive importation of
Germans. Letters have been received from
ibe Netherlands, Rust la, and other European
States, showing that there will soon
be a large emigration to Virginia. Northern
men are also prospecting for settlements. All
the clerical force al array headquarters in Rich
mond was engaged ou Saturday in preparing
new appointments for the State, the time hav
ing arrived when under the law all parties who
cannot take the tet oath are to be removed
from office.
A flairs In Richmond.
Among the appointments for the city of
Richmond is Colonel tgbert, Chief of Police.
It is noted as a carious fact throughout the
length and breadth of Virginia, with few antl
rare exceptions, that no marriage cun be solem
nized because of the removal ot clerks.
Further Details or the Condition of
Things In Haytl.
Rear-Admiral HoiT forwards voluminous re
ports from Commander Abbott, of the Yautic,
of the progress of the revolutiou in llayw.
Commander Abbott reports, under date ot
February 10, that theYantic left Port-au-Prince
on the 2d ot that month for Aux Cares, finding
there, on arrival, the British war steamer
Jason ' and a few foreign merchant vessels.
The town was besieged by Sal nave's land force,
the Inhabitants being iu cousideiable excite
ment and alarm.
Dominque remained at AuxCayes, determined
on making a vigorous resistance. On February
4 tbe. Hay tien flag-ship, with Salnave on board,
came into the hatbor and anchored, and on the
next ,day Salnave scut through the Yantic
notices to the different foreigu consuls and the
inhabitants ot AuxCayes announcing his deter
mination to attack the town at 330 A. M. the
next day unless surrendered before.
Wbeo the town was first invested by Salnave'
troops, a number ot persons, principally
non combatants, soueht and obtained refuge ou
merchant vessels in the harbor, and when
Saluave's announcement was made the number
ereatlv Increased.
The lorelgn consulates were also overcrowded
with refugees. Ou tbe evening ot the 4ih, Do
mingue, Secretary of State, requested au
asjlum on board the Yantic, which was refused;
but he was sent ou board a Norwegian barque.
On the afternoon ot February 6, presuming
that the bombardment. would take place, the
merchant vessels, with the assistance ot the
Jaeon and Yautic, removed from the anchor
age to a safer part of tbe bay.
Tbe threatened bombardment did not take
place, however, aud had not commenced when
tbe X antic sailed on February 8. The President
and Admiral were unwilling to begin the attack
until the arilval of the Saloave, which was
hourly expected. An interview was had by our
officers with Saluave lu regard to the protection
of American interests and the disposition of
refugees The Piesideut was willing to do all
he could to protest nemral interests, and would
allow the refugees, wbo were crowding the
merchant vessels In such a manner as to
reiloualy endanger life, either to eo to Acauln.

the rtbel thief Domingue und hit Cabinet, but
no Pncinc armut'cmenl could be made witu
them, as they appeared detei mined to defend
the towu as long as possible.
Dtmiugue said he had written to Mr. Seward.
offering to anutx to the United States that part
or ine island under his control, aud requested
the Minister to use the uowor of tho United
States to prevent Saluave from bombarding the
town until mi. be ward's reolv was received.
This was, of course, dccldculv refused. Ou the
morning of Ktbruaiy 0 our Minister, the cap
tain oi me lsiaun, aud.i ooirnauder Abbott baa
an interview with K&mo, Domingue' prluc pal
nviYiBci buu ootienrj oi intt interior, huu
acquainted him with the offer made by tbe
Captain of the Jason to convey Dominigue,
Lis capinei ana principal officer, thirty miles
in tbe direction or Jamaica. This offer was
made from motives ot humanity, with Saluave's
consent, but was declined. Anx Caves ia de
fended on the sea side by three or four batteries,
eacu mourning one or two guns.
Commander Abbott was informed at Anx
Caves by the uaytien Admiral that the Mount
Vernon was reported to have arrived out at teU
Marks for tbe us of the rebels. Tbe above re-
norta include a covt of a memorandum of mill
, tar; eistutffiS! Pis pj the icbel auUiarlUe-.
at Aux Cayes, signed by parties who are certi
fied to by James D. Long. United States Cousul,

i Tho details recount many acts of barbarity.
The signers elate, among other matters, that
when the men engaged m the revolutiou des i t,
tbelr wives are imprisoned, and in many in
stances shot.
A late report from the Yaotic, dated February
26 elates that Cape Havtien is surrounded by
Rebels, and the inhabitant appear to be desti
tute. On the 20th the Ilaytien war steamer
Salnave entered the hurbor at Gonaives, and
that evening the rebels attacked the town, but
were reDuised.
The Mount Vernon was at anchor at St.
Marks, that being in possession of the rebels,
but nothing about her indicated thit she was
ether than a lawful merchant vessel. While at
Aux Cayes tbe American Minister visited the
Jason, and on leaving was saluted with fifteen
guns, which was returned by the Yautic.

TRA GEDY IN NE WARK.
A Tonng-SfanMnrdershla Intended Wife
ana snoots tiimseu
A melancholy tragedy took Dlace in West
street, Mewark, N. J., yesterday afternoon, iu
wuicn a young lady was suot and rutaiiy injured
by her lover, who Immediately paid the penalty
oi his crime by taking hi own life. The nauvs
of the two persons were Frederics: Knlttall anl
Augusta Becker, each nlneteeu years of see,
and having been, for more than a year preceding,
ingaeed to be married. M es Becker resided
w ith her parents, lu whose house tho traaedy
occuired, and she had at brief intervals durin
tho past year received visits from Kuittnll,
the greatest possible frieudship hv
itg been maiutaincd between them, so
far as was known by her relatives, until within
two or three weeks, when, it is said, a degree of
coldncps was observed In their intercourse with
each other, which produced a feeling of jealousy
on the part of Knittall, which he revealed iu
conversations with his acquaintances, an t ex
hibited in a noticeable degree when he met M'si
Hecker. At about two o'clock yesterday after
noon he called at her house, aud sat with her in
the front parlor, while Mrs. Decker and another
daughter occupied a back room. Soon after
five o'clock tbe report of a pistol was heard,
and Mrs. litckcr, baiteniu? to tbe parlor, Iroai
which the xound proceeded, saw Knlttall flying
through the bail towards the lear dojr, hatb'ss
and deathly pale, carrying a revolver in his
hand. Upon the floor of the parlor Miss Becker
lay motionless, her face and clothing covered
with her blood. A ball bad passed turoueti
her head, entering upon tbe left side above the
ear, and coming out on the other side near the
eye. Another report, following soon arter the
flight ot Knlttall, was heard coming from the
rear of the house, and he was seen lying utterly
motionless and dead near the door, with the
weapon ljlng near him. Tbe reports having
been heard by many of tbe immediate neighbors,
an excited crowd flocked around the house aud
filled the yard, viewing the body of the suicide,
and f pccu'atlng upon tbe causes which had led
to his unhappy state of mind. Information was
sent to the Police Station, aud Detective Smith,
accompanied by Officer Mack, was directed to
visit the place and take possession of tho
premise. Miss Becker was found to be still
breathine faintly, and she was placed under the
care of Dr. Sehlbach, the county physician. At
9 o'clock last evening she was still living, but
was not expected to survive many hours. The
family of Miss Becker are persons of consider
able wealth and respectability, and the melan
choly affair occasions a great deal of excitement
aud sympathy. The young man Knlttall also
possessed a good reputation among his ac
quaintances, hoving been known as a person of
sober and temperate habits, llo lived at the
house of Mr. Knight, in Market street, and
was employed in the uphoUteriug establishment
ol Joseph Lang, in Broad street.
LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.
George S. Twitchell, Jr. Another Effort
' in his Behalf.
Btjpkemk Court is banc Chief Justice
Thompson and Judges Read, Agnew. and Wil
liams. This mornlnac, before the arguments of
tbe regular cases were begun, William Wueelor
Hubble, Esq., appeared before the court and
said he wished lo apyly for a rehearing In tbe
matter ol a motion for a writ of error in tli9
case of George 8. TwltoUoll, Jr., whloli renppli
ation he said was based upon the Constitution
of tbe United States.
Tbe Chief Justice told him that the case had
already been examined by this Court with
Interest, anxiety, and care, and bad been passed
npon. But Mr. Hubble said the papers be now
presented oontained new reasons which tbe
Court bd never considered, and be thought
tbat if this was refused a great and Irreparable
Injustice would be done. In answer to a ques
tion by theOhltf Justice, Mr. Hubble said tho
sentence of deatb was passed npon the 8'Jth of
January; but tbe former motion had been
made witbin tbe allotted time and this was
bnt a repetition, as it were, of that, and there
fore be thought It was not too late.
The Chief Justice consented to take the
f apers, and give the matter the Court's aiten-ion.
The papers were the record or the trial, a
manuscript recital of the assignment of error,
and a printed book containing Mr. Hubble's
argument, which was to sbow tuat the verdict
of guilty were contrary to tbe evidence.
Speaking of himself in this bootr, Mr. Hubble
says that be Is "a member of the bar, aud bas
been engaged for many years in professional
and scientific pursuits, and is aooustomed to the
examination of physical principles, particu
larly wnen invoivea in suns."
The chief authority for this proceeding con
sisted of the nfihand sixth articles of amend
ment to tbe Constitution of the United States,
"which." soys tbe argument, "provide that in
all otlmiriMl prosecutions the aocused shall be
Informed of the nature and ouuse of the aoousa
lion, aud be confronted by the witnesses against
mm.-
These requirements, it is contended, were
not fulfilled at the trial, and therefore the
Governor conld not rightfully sign tbe death
warrant for Twitcbeli's exeoutlon. because the
judgment of tbe Court was not, for these rea
sons, oy aue preoess oi taw.
xne matter is now witn ine uonrt.
Court of Oybb and Tskminbb Judnes
Peirce and Brewster. A session of 07er and
Terminer for tbe trial of homicide cases was
opened this morning, butt neseveral eases tbat
were proposed to be taken up being found un
prepared by the defense, they were continued
until monaay next.
In the ease of Patrick Reaean. chareed with
killing James Thompson, a motion to quash
ine inuiciment was arguea on ine ground that
when first sent to the Grand Jury and by them
Ignored. and, after the intervention of anew
term of tbe Court and tbe session of a new
Grand Jury, it was sent before another Inquest,
and returned a true bill. Held under advise
ment.
Tbe usual uuauer sessions business will be
resumed to-morrow.

Monday, Marou it, 1W9, J
The tone Of the Monev market te-dav wu
firm and steady, with a slight tendency to strin
gency among the banks, though no scarcity was
felt on the street. This feature naturally leads
business men to anticipate a pressure for
money as the first of April draws nearer, which,
may exceed the supply. The natural result is a
prudent effort on the part oi borrowers to nego
tiate time Joans which may cover the period of
poslble stringency.
The 1st of April ia tbe season when annual
settlements of accounts are made throughout
the country, when mortgages and no.es lall
due, and new piniects are formed. Tne de
mand for capital thus created is very great, and
Invariably absorbs all the idle funds iu the
market, and makes it rule close and firm.
This is the condillou today, and hence,
though the rates are without quotable change,
they how increased firmness. Call loans oil
Govern mant bonds were made at 6(tS7 per cent.,
the latter figure being freely offered by needy
borrowers, and at 78 per cent, on other col
luterals. Uovernrntut bonds are dull and wealr. The
gold premium is subj. ct to great fluctuations.
At 12 M. to day it stood at 131.
Tho stock market was dull and depressed.
State loans were neglected. City loans sold to
a limited extent at 101 lor the new certificates
