GUAM'S l'TUST NEGOTIATION roi: FOllEK iN SO Hi. From thf S. V. IforM. Among the West India Rrotip of islands is one niuucd HiHpanioln ly the Spanish dis coverers, but ciille l llyti (which moans high land country) by the natives. It is about :!!() miles in length from cast to west, and i0 to 110 miles iu breadth. Discovered by Spain in 1 1 !', adventurers from Europe went thither to work its reputed mines, made slaves of the natives, and the colony increased in wealth; but soon, the mining proving un productive, the miners went elsewhere, and the colony became a burden. Spain held possession till 1(:(), when buccaneers, chiefly French, gained a foothold from the neighbor ing small island of. Tortnga, and by the treaty of ltyswick, in 1097, the western portion of the island was cedod to France, and one hundred years later (17!.") the eastern portion was, by the treaty of Bale, also ceded to France. Thns France had nil the island. The. population at this time could be classified into three classes whites, mulattoos, and blacks the last being slaves. The French national decree of 17!1, giving to the colored people all the rights of French citizens, set on foot a quarrel botween the two first-named classes on the island, dining which the negro slaves rose np for their own defense against both. In the mean time the French Assembly repealed its first decree, which act of repeal made matters still worse. The negroes either massacred or expelled nearly all the unarmed whites. In 7'JH, England, with a large foroe, took pos session of the island; but the climate was too deadly, and within five years she re tired. Franoe recognized the negro Tous saint L'O aver ture as general-in-chief, who proved himself able and indefatigable, and in 1801 formally proclaimed the independent Kepublie of San Domingo nnder him. When the treaty of Amiens had concluded the war in Europe between France and Great Britain, Napoleon sent, to reduce the revolted oolony to his sway, twenty-six ships of the line and -'!, (KM) troops, nnder his brother-in-law, Leclerc, who captured Toussaint, sent him to France, where he died in prison. This struggle for victory between the French and the negroes surpasses description in its deeds of cruelty and revenge; and in 180.) the French forces surrendered to the negro Gene ral Dessalines, and agreed to evacuate the island. The next year the negro general was crowned Emperor of the ichole island, with its name changed to Ilayti; he proclaimed a massacre of all whites, and was assassinated in 18(M5; when another negro, Christophe, and I'etion fought for power. It was during the conflicts between these two, and to aid one against the other, that the vessel American Eagle was lit ted out in this port, seized by the collector nnder the neutrality act of 1794, whereon arose the noted case of Gelston vs. Hoyt, in which the Supreme Court said that, as neither Christophe nor Fetion were recognized as "princes or states" by the executive depart nient of this Government, the libel was bad. 'The former ruled in the north and the latter in the south of the island. I'etion died in 1818, and Boyer took his place. Christophe committed suicide two years later; when Boyer rushed in, grabbed everything and the island was one again under the Ilepublio of Ilayti, and her independence confirmed by France, April, 182". Boyer held sway over the entire island till 1843, when he was driven out by lliviere, against whom revolt in turn was made, and he fled to Jamaica. In 1840, Soulouque, a slave and boot-black, was elected President of Ilayti, or the western part of the island, and in 18." 2 took the crown from the altar in his own hands, and, like Napoleon I, crowned himself Emperor, and then his wife Adelina. So much for Ilayti. 6n the fall of Riviere, the Spaniards in the eastern end of the island, whereupon President Grant has fixed his eyes, asserted their inde pendence and proclaimed the Dominican Ilepublio. Santana was elected President. He was followed by Jimenes in 1848. In the meantime Santana, having whipped Sou louque of Ilayti (the western end) in battle, compelled Jimenes to resign, and Baez was elected. In 1853 Baez was banished, and Santana raised to the Presidency. Finally, on the l!)th of May, 1801, there ap peared in Madrid a royal decree, which con cluded thus: . "The territory which constituted the Dominican Republic Is and remains reincorporated luco the monarchy." Horrid to relate, Spain did reoccupy and repossess islands adjacent to this continent. Where was the Monroe doctrine then ? Where was Seward? Where were all the Republican babblers now heard in the land against European possession ? Lincoln was President. Where was he? Let Banks, Howe, Logan and company straightway intro duce resolutions into Congress inquiring for and of everybody how Spain dared thus to retake San Demingo. Spain endeavored to do what she could in Dominica, which had, in fact, invited her there. She spent many millions of dollars in roads, harbor improvements, and in recti fication of its money system; but finally, in 18G,r, Spain renounced, by decree of May 5, possession of the territory. How does President Grant expect to gov ern the country? It will bo, if the treaty is forthwith ratified, the first of our acquisitions off the continent. The Supreme Court of the United States, in the case of Dred Scott, said that there is no power of the Government to make or hold new acquisitions as a colony. New territory must be taken to be held only "as an inchoate State," which is in a territo rial condition of pupilage to become a co equal State in due time. Possibly this ad ministration only will respect such decisions of the court s meet its approval, and will en deavor to govern its island purchases as colo nies, which Senator Morton assimilates to small boats towed astern the ship, and which, in respect to those towed by Europe, he pro poses to cut adrift, to be picked up by our selves as wans ana strays. ONE YEAR OF GENERAL GRANT'S ADMINISTRATION THE PROSPECT. From the N. Y. Herald. One year, the first of General Grant's ad ministration, closed at noon yesterday, What hve been its fruits and what does it promise V In the inaugural of Maroh last. and in certain outgivings before it, we were promised a policy of economy, retrenchment and reform: a religious redemption of the obligations involved in the national debt; the maintenance of the national honor and dignity in our foreign relations; a faithful execution of the laws, and that the Execu tive would have no policy of his own to urge upon Congress in opposition to the will of the people. In his inaugural, too, General Giaut cordially endorsed the proposition s I , ' J national Constitution of impartial snffrago. without regard to "race, color or previous condition of servitude Such were the proinlsoa and foroshadowings of General Grant's administration one year ago. What has followed and how stand the record and the promise of their fulfilmont to day ? The laws of Congress for the reoon struetion of the lately. Rebel States have been faithfully carried out, and exoepting some few remaining formalities in referenoe to Georgia and Texas, the political work of Southern restoration is finished. In the im portant matters of eoonomy, retrenchment, and reform tho Treasury shows a clear gin of over a hundred millions of money (inclu ding ninety-eight millions reduction of the debt) for the first year of Grant over the last year of Johnson; and the premium on gold has been reduced from its nuotaalions among the thirties and forties to the narrow gam bling margin between thirteen and fourteen cents; the fifteenth amendment has been ratified by the required throe-fourths of the States, and its proclamation as a part of the supreme law of the land we are now expect ing every day. In the meantime, so thoroughly has the doctrine of civil and political equality, re gardless of race or color, been the ruling idea of General Grant, that he has appointed men of African descent to various responsible offices, including revenue collecting and diplo matic appointments, and has recognized, with the enthusiasm of a missionary devoted to the cause, the fitness under the new order of things of an African representative at Washington of the African Republic of Ilayti. To orown this edifice of equal civil and politi cal rights a gentleman of oolor in 1870 ooou pies tho seat in the United States Senate left vacant by Jeff. Davis in 1801 for the purpose of assisting in the establishment of an inde pendent Southern Confederacy on "the corner-stone of African slavery." It was in 18.".() that the barraooon, or slave market, in full view from the National Capitol, was re moved with the abolition of the slave trade in tho District of Columbia; and now behold in the Sonate the consummation of the mighty revolution which has followed that small beginning by Henry Clay ! The first year of General Grant's adminis tration thus becomes memorable in history as marking the complete abolition of the civil and political disabilities of the African race in the United States, and as marking the be ginning of the new dispensation of impartial suffrage nnder the supervision of Congress. On the Fourth of July next the President, it appears, is to assist at a celebration of the fifteenth amendment in a grand mass meet ing in Connecticut, which is not a bad idea; but it further appears that he wishes a com paratively short session of Congress for the long term, in order that he may return to the refreshing drives, surf and sea breezes of Long Branch in June; and this wish, it may be said, is suggestive of a growing disposition to drift along quietly in the current of events and trust to luck for a safe landing. Here we touch the weak point, the vulner able heel of Grant's administration. With all tho work of reconstruction accomplished, nothing has been done in the reconstruction of our foreign relations beyond the policy of peace for the present, leaving the future to provide for itself. The course which this administration has pursued and is pursuing in reference to Cuba is satisfactory only to Spain: the policy of General Grant in refer ence to Mexico is apparently that of perfect indifference touching the never-ending but still-beginning demoralizations of that beau tiful but wretched country. He has shown something of the spirit of "manifest des tiny" in certain proceedings looking to the annexation of Dominica; and even those initial proceedings will, most likely, end in smoke. lie has despatched an expedition for a survey of the Isthmus of Uanen, in view of a ship canal, which is something; but he has consented to an indefinite sua pension of the proseoution of those Ala. bama claims, from wnicn the opinion is beginning to spread that they will end in nothing. In each and all these things it appears that while the President has no definite policy to suggest to Congress, Congress has no definite policy to urge upon tne President. Hence, upon our foreign affairs nothing is done and nothing is promised. The prospect oa this side is not encouraging, while npon the great money question it is very good. Upon the whole, the administration is too quiet, too dull and inactive, to satisfy the country, and accordingly the elements of new political f ao tions are in active process of formation, Hence we expect that in this year's elections for the next Congress we shall have some evi dences of a disintegration of the Republican party calculated to suggest adonbtf nl contest, and perhaps even a scrub race, for the Presi dential succession. THE ADMINISTRATION AND ITS WORK. from the A". Y. Times. Yesterday the country stepped across the threshold of a new political year, and entered upon the closing scene of a decade destined to be ever memorable in i'.s history. The nine administrative years which have just closed were crowned with marvellous events; and as we look back upon them and note the grand accomplishments which followed in their wake, it seems difficult to realize that we have been such recent actors in scenes which are already permanently engraved on the record of the world's civilization. It is profitless, perhaps, to recall mere incidents which have merged in great results. They can only serve to revive dead auimosities, and mar the work of pacification which is so noceskary to the perfection of our great political transition. Yet it is profitable, as well as legitimate, to note the more promi nent political achievements of the time, and to gather fresh courage, as well as direction for the future. The Republican party may point to the record since 18(i0 with a justifiable pride. It may clmni its justification through its work, and offer it as a security for the future. It has been made the instrument by which the nation has solved the problem that bathed the fathers of the republic, and which later statesmen were conteut to avoid or defend as compromises of the Constitution. When the grand opportunity offered by rebellion had been improved, and emancipation was adopted as a military expedient, which had been denied to us tis a political policy, the Republican party did not hesitate to embrace' it. When peace crowned, the glorious act through victory, and logiatios gave way to the requirements of legislation, the Repub lican party accepted its new mission with alaority, and entered upon the work of ad justment with a firm purpose of making it harmonious with all that had gone before. As might have been expected, there was a diversity of Republican counsels, and at times a clashing of Republican politics; but they were the result of an honest purpose, based upon principles as to whioh all were in the main agreed. It would have been strange had there not been. For four years Congress cortfuded a to the fundamental principle then nendina for the establishment In the npon which the adjustment was to be made, and though many Republicans dissented from the theory upon which it finally was made, yet tuey aceoptod tne flnality, as suon, line one who . had reached home by an unwonted road, and straightway forgot tho way in the arrival. The eloctlon of General Grant, and his in auguration one year ago yesterday, constituted a new departure of the Republican party, but without deviation of course. The people de clared that the work of CongTess should not be undone, as Frank Blair and the Democracy proposed; that to a firm ndherence thereto, should be added a poliov of pacification; that a broader and more national policy should be pnrsued, and that economy and retrenchment should be required in tho administration of affairs. A year passed, and it is proper to inquire how far those popular requirements haveeen answered, and what progress has beenmade. The record is a grand one, and easily summed np. The disablod States are all healed, and the last one of thorn will soon be represented in Congress; the ratification of the fifteenth amendment to the Federal Con stitution is assured; a year of retrenchment and economy has resulted in a reduction of the pnblio debt to the extent of over $ 100.000.0(H), with a gold balance in the Trea sury of over $98,000,000; the gold premium has fallen steadily to 113), and there is every prospect that in a rosonable time tne unanciol problem, which looked so difficult a year ago, will solve itself by resumption. In addition to these solid accomplishments, the President has Btrongly pronounced in favor of a reduc tion of taxation to the extent of at least $.r0,000,000 a year, a measure which is most earnestly demanded by the people, and pressed npon Congress. It remains to be seen if the latter will respond to the demand as readily and as gracefully as the President, or whether it will, by refusing, mar the grand record wnicn nas thus tar been made. So far as the President is concerned, no better record could have been hoped for, no more successful achievement expected, even by the most sanguine. The people surely have reason' to be satisfied with the fruits of the first year of President Grant's adminis tration, and to regard the future with confi dence. SOME CURIOUS THINGS ABOUT THE GOLD CONSPIRACY. From the. A. Y. Sun. No full report of the evidenoe taken bv the Congressional Committee of Investigation into the September gold conspiracy, as it is commonly called, has yet been published by authority; but those portions of it which have surreptitiously round their way into print give us glimpses of certain curious facts. The most striking of these facts is that. according to the testimony of Mr. Jay Gould, supposed to be the ringleader of the combi nation to put up tho price of gold, there was no such combination at all. The whole movement was planned and controlled by him alone, and came to an end when his de termination to continue it failed him. Even his friend and associate in the management of the .brie Kailway, James Fisk, Jr., was not admitted into his counsels, but merely came in, with a number of other unorganized followers, at the eleventh hour, to pick np a portion of the anticipated profits. Corbin, too, was but a silent partner in the business, with a contingent interest in it secured to his wife, not himself but no vote in its di rection. Mr. Gould, therefore, stands forth as the single colossal genius whose inennta tions shook the whole fabrio of the national credit, and convulsed the entire mercantile community. Mr. Gould s signal talents for a part of the task he undertook are amply proved by his success in bending the proverbially stubborn will of President Grant to a conformity with his desires. At his first interview with the President, in June, he found him resolved on bringing the price of gold down by selling it for greenbacks, and thus contracting the currency. Mr. Gould's arguments in favor of a contrary course seemed at the time to make no impression; but at a seoond inter view, toward the end of August, he was more successful,' and sa entirely converted the President to his policy of selling little or no gold till alter the crops were moved to the seaboard, that he went on with his specula. tion for a rise in entire confidence that the Government would do nothing to interfere with it. His weak point was attaching too much weight to an article in a disreputable morning journal, and being frightened by it into Belling gold himself, and thus break ing down the market, just when a little pluck would have given him a triumphant victory. If this is so, it is not the least remarkable of the remarkable features of the transaction. Another point worth noticing is the way in which two women figure in the affair. As we have said, it was Mrs. Corbin, President Grant's sister, not Corbin himself, who was to receive a part of the profits of Gould's operations, in return for Corbin's assistance. When finally the President desired to com municate to his brother-in-law his dissatis faction at his complicity in the affair, it was Mrs. Grant who was selected to convey the intimation, not to Corbin himself, but to Mrs. .Corbin. There was thus a sort of double dummy game played botween Grant and Corbin, with their respective wives for dummies. The pitiable exhibition of cunning, weak ness, and rascality made by Mr. Corbin in his own testimony will surprise no one who read the account of his conduct as narrared in the aS'iu during tho few days which imme diately followed the culmination of tho spocu lation. But it is surprising to find General Bulterfield so innocently exposing his want of a sense of honor to the ( tovernment nnder which he held office, and to his friend Mr. Gould. It seems that all the while he was Assistant Treasurer bo was buying and sell ing Government bonds on speculation; and when finally the upward movement in gold, which he knew Mr. Gould was engineering, and from which, if it had proved successful, he was to reap large profits, ended disas trously, he lost no time in secretly selling gold on his own account, thus really bene fiting himself at Gould's expense; for the more gold he sold the lower the price went, and the lower the price the greater Air, Gould's losses. The evident moral of the whole affair is that the President . of the United States should be careful whom he seleots for his as sociates, and how he talks to them about State secrets. President Grant has had a narrow escape from being almost conclusively proved guilty of participating in a specula tion against the national oredit. Will he be careful to keep out of similar complications in future ? LITTLE MEN AND WOMEN. Frtm (h N. T. Tribuns. The literary world (which has its range of peruonal gossip aa well as any other) is jnst now on the tiptoe of expectation, waiting for a tidbit of scandal which has been promised to it in the shape of an attack made by certain woll-known authoross upon an equally well-known publishing firm. It appears that the lady conceives herself greatly wronged by them, and intends to sot forth her caso allogorically and satirically; and. as sho has been known before to "sling ink" which burned liko caustic, the public rub their hands with keen enjoyment in anticipa tion oi uer coming enort. .Now, we know nothing of the merits of this 1 especial case," and wo wish to know nothing. hether the lady or her publisher made or lost ten per cent, by their bargain is a ques tion "itu which, we humbly suggest, we or the I public have absolutely nothing to do. Scandalous essays, which in old times used to be donnned to illiterate neighborhoods, now, in this age of newspapers, stretch their un known lines over the world. All is fish that comes to their net. The higher the position a man or woman attains by force of genius or virtue, tne keener is the zest with whioh their personal history is soized and dragged to the light. So universal is this prurient taste that the natural consequence has ensnod: every man who has gained a local notoriety rushes before the public with his personal affairs; his silly idiosyncracy to display ma little grievance to moan over. To measure the time devoted by Congress to personal explanations and to the display of purely personal spleen or individual rela tions, one is forced to conclude that the ma chinery of government, instead of being de vised for the transaction of national business, was simply meant to give opportunity to third-rate men to perk and parade themselves into publio notice. It is time that this matter was adjusted by the simple rule of common sense. The share whioh the publio owns in a man is the highest work which he can give them. The contract honestly filled, the battle gained, the ! poem, the picture, the book, whioh em bodies the insight into beauty or truth which his individual life has taught him. The world owns a royalty in these general truths, and it must be paid. But when the man ob- trudes his own coat or his breakfast or his wife into notice, he simply commits an im pertinence which natural vanity explains but aoes not excuse. The record has been kept of Dr. Johnson's cups of tea and Swift's dressing-gown. There were giants in the world in those days, and they were but few in number. But is history to carry the weight of all the indigestions and old clothes of the mob of gentlemen who write with ease, once a week, now-a-days? The sooner the cnan is sit ted out of those old records, as well as the new, the better. By ron gave ns pictures of Italy and glimpses of pastion which never have been surpassed; for bo much we are his debtor forever; but there we ought to be done with him absolutely. Why? Because of these long ago poems. Should the World sit with aching head to-day, puzzling over the fact whether his Bister's daughter had a marriage certificate to show or not ? Why should we peep and whisper and nod together over MedoralLieich s disgrace, more than Sallv Jones' next door ? Is it a whit less vulgar ? If Mr. A- writes an essay and Mr. B. prints it for him, the public have a right to demand that the essay be trenchant, and that the type be clear. So far is their business; then they have done with the matter. If Messrs. A. and B. happen to have a petty sqaubble about their 10 per cent., why should the whole Ame rican people be summoned as a jury in the CBse any more than to decide why John bnntns cow should not invade Johnson slot? When the lines'are drawn between the work and the person, between the contribution to truth and the scandalous gossip about the contributors, the world will move faster, hen I learned that nobody was looking at me, says bydney smith, "i ceased to be diffident." When our publio men in and out of Congress learn how exceedingly small a Eortion of tho world's eye they fill after they ave done the work required of them, they will probably be less presumptuous. A man may comfortably enjoy his quarrels; his opinions of himself and his colleagues may rate himself with pleasurable complacency above newspapers or publio opinion. His vanity or ill temper, however amusing, con cern only himself; but when he mounts his petty pedestal shouting "L I !" for the benefit of idle gossip-mongers, he only shows how little he has yet learned of the grave purposes of life, and how like a school-boy he still is in his estimate of himself or his code of good- breeding.
