To the Editor of the Herald: X correspondence has appeared in the columns of the Herald and various other jour nals, iu which it is stated that President Salnavo and myself have offered to cede the St. Nicholas Mole to tho United States in exchange lor tho Algonquin aud some iron-clad vessels. Will you please- to deny this assertion, which is without tho least foundation '( The St. Nicholas Mole docs not belong to President Salnave or to me, but to the nation of Haytl. and it will not, at any price, cede a particle of its territory, and President Pulnave and myself think like tho na tion. Once for all, it Is well that public opinion in tho United States should be enlightened on this point namely, that the people of Haytl would never ratify uny treaty teuding to the loss of its autonomy or the alienation of any part of the island of flaytl. Some intrif,'uii.tf porous can make, or perhaps have made, a similar pro position, but neither tho American Government nor capitalists will allow themselves to be im posed upon by such individuals having no na tional character.

Ind.. Atiir. 1A Thero have been but few men of the same limited edu cation an Walter Hays In tho Whitewater Valley, who have grown as rich as ho waa at tho time of his death. At an early day he scttlod a few miles north of this placo, In tho largo Miami bottom, which contains a soil as fertile as any to be found in tho West. This broad valley la bounded on its western border by a continuous and beautiful ridge, on which tho owners of the bottom land have chiefly built their resi dences. They are mostly rich, made so by tho annual products of their soil. Tlta whole big oottom, irom Lawrcnceburg to Klizabetbtown, is In the hands of one or other of tho Havses. Guards, or Millers, who are all related more or less by cords of double and twisted allinities. Old Lnclc Walter was a sort of head-man among them all, because ho was thought to have tno most money. ins estate at his death amounted to not less than $200,000, about oue- halt ot which consisted in bank stock. Though wholly unversed in letters, Mr. Hays possessed remarkable shrewd common sense. and at no time of his life was it an easy matter to cueat or to overreacn nun. in 18 ).. when lie was about sixty-six years of age, he married a widow of thirty-six. At his death, at ids residence, a 3'car or so ago, at, mo age oi aoout eighty, a will was pro duced from his box, kept iu the First National Hank of Lawrenceburg. of which his son-in-law. 1). W. C. Fitch, was president. That will, after giving his household goods to the widow, made provision lor her to have one-fourth of his bank stock of $100,000, tho Southeast Indiana Conference another fourth, and the two other fourths to bis son ntiil ibmu-liriir Ilia ..... ot every description, was to bo equally divided between his son and daughter, while all of his grandchildren whose mothers were dead were to receive only .r'-'iKK) when they become of ago. The whole of the bank stock, at the expiration of the charter of said bank, to be equally ui men ociwccii me son una uaitgiiter. With this will the sou, daughter and widow were fully satisliod. Though tho law itself would have done better lor the widow than tho will, yet she w as w illing to accept it: but the rest of the connections were dissatisfied with tho nro- vi.-ions of the will, and several of them doubted whether any such will had ever been made with the knowledge and consent of the de ceased. Hence the latter parties brought suit to set the will aside. The trial came up in tho Court ot Common Pleas on last Thursday week, Judge Berkshire presiding, and lasted some eight or ten days. The counsel for the prosecution, or for the setting aside of the will, consisted of lion. William . ilolman, Daniel . Major, John I), llaynes, aud Judge Francis Atkinson, while that of tho defense consisted of Hon. Joseph K. .Mci'onui.i, t ump l.. cpooner, .jonn oenwartz, Noah S. Givin, Colonel Carter Gazlav. and Geo. H. Fitch. Hon Will. Cumback was retained by tno isotun Indiana coniercnce. The jury, after a brief consultation, brought in a verdict adverse to the will, which leaves the estate in the hands of the laws of tho .State. This decision, of course, annuls all the provi sions made for the benollt of tho Methodist Church, as all of the property will now lie divided among the heirs-at-law. A motion was made on Saturday by the counsel for tho defense for a new trial, which was argued all day, hut was finally overruled. I learn that the whole case will bo carried to the Supreme Court. This the parties on both sides are able to do, as they nave plenty ot money. woma-vs'muhts. A Letter from Wliittler, the Port. At the Woman's Rights' Convention at Now- port, It. I., yeslerdav, the following letter was read from John G. Whittier, the Quaker poet: Amesuuuy, Mass., latu otu mo., li'.i.-.My Dear Friend: I have received thy letter inviting nio to auemi me convention iu ocuait oi woman's suffrage at Newport. K. I., on the 2th inst. I do not see now it is possible for me to accept the invitation, and, were I to do so, the state of mv health would relieve me from tho responsibility of seeming to sanction anything in its action which might conllict wall mv own views of dutv or policy; yet I should do myself great injustice if I did not embrace this occasion to express my general sympathy with the movement. I have ijoca no good reason why mdtucrs, wives, and daughters should not have the same rights ot person, pro perty, and citizenship which fathers, husbands, and brothers have. The sacred memory of mother and sister, the wisdom and dignity of women of my own religious connection, who Have been accustomed to something iikc equality in rights, as well as duty, my experience, as a co-worsliipper with noble ana ECU-sacrinc- ing women, as graceful and helpful in their household duties as tncy are tirm ana coura geous in their public advocacy of unpopular truths: tho steady friendships which have in spired and strengthened me, and the reverence and respect 1 loci lor human nature, irrespec tive of sex all these compel me to look with something more than aenuieseence unon the efforts you are making. I frankly confess that i am not able to loreseo all the consequences ot the great social and political change proposed, but of this I am at least sure: it is always sale to do right, and the truest expediency is simple justice. I can understand without sharing the misgivings of those who fear that when the vote drops Irom woman s hand into the ballot-box, the beauty and sentiment, the bloom and sweetness of womanhood, go with it. But in this matter it seems to me we can trust nature. Stronger than statutes or conven tions, she will be conservative of all that true men love and honor in woman. Here and there may be found an equivocal, unsexed Chevalier Peon, but tho eternal order and fitness of thiugs will remain. I have no fear that man will be less maul' or woman less womanly when ther meet on terms of equality belore the law. On the other hand I do not sec that the exercise of the ballot by woman will prove a remedy for all the evils of which she justly complains, it is her right, as truly as mine, and when she aks lor It it is something less than manhood to with hold it. Hut unsupported bv a more practical education, higher aims, and a deeper sense of the responsibility of life and duty, it is not likely iu prove a messing in ner nanus any more man ;., ...o . 1, iu milium .

As I proved to you in a recent letter, nothing can bo further from the truth. The most, perfect, un derstanding continues to exist botwe-n tho mem bers ot the Legation and the administration at. 1 ckln. The object of tho pamphlet alluded to is to create a belief that the Kngiish translation of the instructions given to the Kmbassy is an unfaithful one, and tint the original document does not authorize tho stens u hi.-li Mr Uor- lingame has taken. 1 he reply to these assertions is verv sininbv The correctness of the translation has been certi- hed to by Dr. Martin, Dr. Williams and Mr. Brown, three of the most, eminent Chinese. scholars of whom Kurope or America can boast. But if thoir attestation did notexist, the fact that the Kmbassy is in monthly communication with the Chinese Government, and that the latter has been kept regularly posted as to the proceed ings or .Mr. JSurlingame and i s eo eanes. and has signiliod its cordial approval of every step that has been taken, would lie sulhclent to disprove the assertion that thev had in any way exceeded their instructions. The object of the calumny which has boon circulated through a variety of other channels, is to throw obstacles in the way of the missiou at the Kuropean courts by creating an impres sion that the latter have to deal with negotia tors who are acting on their own discretion. and not on their written instructions, and whose proceedings may be repudiated bv the Chinese Government.

Communication to the Portland Me ) AduertUer. The moral atmosphere in which Byrou's entire life was spent was for the most part very iar irom pure, a lew years ago the writer ot this article, then residing in a German university town, accidentally became iiciuainted with the same Captain Mcdwin who was authority for the 'Lear tiuck commencement ot Lady Byron's letter at that time au old man, decrepit with age, enfeebled by disease, and nielanuholy withal because ot the recent death ot an elderly lady with whom he had lived in those relations of platonic intimacy hallowed by the mutual at tachment of Cowper aud Mrs. L'uwin. A casual acouaintance with this unhappy man was suf ficient to dissipate the last vestige of that foolhardy admiration which every one iu boyhood conceives lor the wild lite led by Byron and his follow rones at Newstend. Captain Mcdwin had come of a good family being a cousin of Shelley was a flnri scholar, having made the acquaintance of thu classic writers in their own language and o i what is left of their own soil, and in his day ha 1 enioved some reputation as a man of letters.

AKIZOXA. A Chapter or Horror. From Ihe Arizonian. We published a list recently of those who had been slain, murdered, or taken captives by tho Indians during the past eighteen months in' Pima county alone, but have since discovered that the bloody list was lar irom being complete. Ac counts never published iu any newspaper, and received from various sources, since our last issue, show that ten men (four of whom were Americans and six Mexicans), fell iuto the hands of the Apaches at Tubac, Camp Crittendeu, Camp Bowie, and Camp (mod win. We have also received accounts showing that an addi tional one hundred and .sixty-three head of stock had been stolen within the past nine months from Tubac, Point of Mountain, and Tucson making a total of stock stolen in Pima county, since January, ISOS. of one thousand six hun dred and ninety head, and stock killed two hun dred and twenty head. It will be seen that fifty-two persons have been murdered, that ' eighteen have been wounded, and that two were carried into cap tivity, and in all probability suffered a thousand deaths. It is a sad spectacle to contemplate. Out of .ViOO persons, the population of Pima countv, supposing one-seventh to be adults, w o will iiave an adult population of 7.35: of this number 72 have been killed and wounded and carried into captivity, making a loss of over nine per cent, of our adult population, and pro bably a much greater percentage of loss of pro perty. Like true Americans, our people are fighting this unequal contest heroically, bravely. Thev are supported by as brave a soldiery im ever struck a blow in any cause w J ' officers are brave, exper ience. , a d l' but tho number of troops is sadly Inadequate.

If!. It is not often that human nature stands ap palled at the sickeuing details of fiendish acts. For the credit of humanity aud the good fame of our city, it is rare that a ease like the ono we arc called upon to chronicle is laid before the public to shock and enrage. Yesterday after noon, about half-past 4 o'clock, officers Guion and Finnegan. of the Harbor Police, had thoir attention called to the fact that a little girl, named Mary Francis, aged four years and a half, had been found almost In a dying condition under a house on Druiimi street, betweeu Pacific and Jackson. The officers crawled under tho house, got the little girl out, and took her to tho Harbor Station, where the child, in her own simple way, and as rapidly as her weak condi tion would permit, made a statement so horrible as to shock the most callous-hearted. The child stated that she was playing on the street when a man more proper to say fiend whose name i-he did not know, but whom she described as well as she could, took her by the hand and led her under tho house where she. was discovered, threw her to tho ground, placed his hand over her mouth, and then attempted to outiage her person. Failing to accomplish his dcvilith purpose, he drew a knife from his pocket, cut the child, intlic ting a wound about two inches in length, and ttien made a second uttcu.pt. to outrage her, when, by reason of tho inhuman and unnatu-al acts of the monster who held her, she fainted. Tho little unfortunate was removed to the City and County Hospital, w here she received surgical treatment. She was iu a very' precarious condition when taken there, and it was not known whether she could sur vive. The inhuman fiend made his escape, aud has net been arrested. The Mobile Rationalist says every colored man who is unemployed should" call ou Colonel Uuler, Superintendent of tho Pensacola and Louisville Railroad, who wants all the hands he can get, and no questions will be asked the ap plicants as to whom they voted for. The Portland (Me.) Argus, which Is In the habit of furnishing tho Democracy in that quar ter with brains, now advises that devoted little band to vote solidly for their regular candidate for Governor tills year, and next year unite with conservative Republicans for tho purpose of electing a conservative Governor, aud re-electing Mr. Fessenden to the Senate. The Tennessee correspondent of the Cincin nati Gazette, iu carefully considering tho pros pects of Andrew Johnson for tho United States Senutorship, gives seven reasons why ho cannot probably be elected, although it Is admitted that he was tho choice of the majority of tho sup porters of Seuter at the polls, aud will make everv effort to secure tho election. Though the Vermont election Is but three weeks off, and that ot Maluo but four weeks off, there Is not the slightest political animation in either State. No public meetings aro being held, the local papers scarcely allude to tho subject, and with the people themselves the questions of Pendleton or Hayes iu Ohio, aud Packer or (ieary in Pennsylvania, are of much more interest. Tho Troy Pres (Democratic plainly tolls Mr. Pendleton that, even should he be elected Governor of Ohio, ho must not expect to be the Democratic candidate for President In 1872. It says that tho Democratic party cannot afford to throw away any more electious, and that, as matters now 6Uind, and as they probably will stand at the next Presidential election, Mr. Hoffman is the most available candidate. . 1 PR OPO S ALS. 1 RorOSALS FOR FOllAUK TKrOT QlJARTFRMARTFR'a.
