CONFIDENTIAL CORRESPONDENCE RE-
Hl'ECriNG SAN DOMINGO.
frnm thf M. I". HVrW,
Tbe story of the carcor of Spain in San Do
mingo is quickly told.
On tbe 1'Jth of May, some months be
fore tbe aigning of "the tripartita convention
relative to Mexico, a royal decree appeared in
Madrid, dated from Araojne, in the following
tpruia "The territory which constituted the
Doroiaican republic in and remains reincorpo
rated with tbe kingdom."
Colnmbtift, at tbe period of the first disoo
Tery of tbe New World, gave lo Spain the
ixland which he called llipaniola. The treaty
of Ryswick, in li;'.7, allotted to France that
(-art of tbe inland called San Domingo, while
the other part remained Spanish. The treaty
of Uasle, in 1 7'.'.", ceded to the French repub
lic tbe entire island. The treaties of 1814 and
1815 returned to Spain that portion she had
lost, and tbe ancient French portion became
independent under the name of the republic
of Ilaytl. In 1822 the Spanish colony of San
Domingo, following the emancipation move
ment of South America and the example of
the neighboring continent, proclaimed its in
dependence. After having been annexed for twenty-two
years to the other portion of the island, the
Spanish portion declared its independence in
1M4, which it maintained until the day
General Santana, in 1801, restored it to the
authority of Spain, which power was not
destined to enjoy the inquisition for a long
time, for Spain, by decree of May ", 186.",
renounced its claim to the possession of the
reincorporated territory.
The confidential correspondence confiden
tial in the sense that Mr. Seward informed
our Minister in Madrid that the views of this
Government were communicated to the latter
'confidentially" which we gave yesterday
from the archives of the Department of State
throws valuable light on the ciroumstances
under which Spain retired from her posses
sion and armed occupancy of San Domingo.
Impartial persons can judge for themselves
whether her retirement was aided or brought
about by what she could well enough have
deemed the pledges of tbe United States con
veyed by Mr. Seward to Madrid in respect to
the future course of this country towards
those whom the Nation newspaper bo per
Bistently styles "Spanish Catholic negroes."
It is very edifying for as Democrats to
read, aa the secrets of Republican diplomacy
are uncovered from time to time, how pre
vious Democratic administrations were de
nounced to foreign nations from the Depart
ment of State, or under its inspiration, as
the impersonation of political baldness. Snob
was the cue taken by Mr. Seward with (Treat
Britain when, in what he thought a temporary
exigency, he endeavored to persuade Earl
Russell to accept the United States as a co
declarant to the abolishment of privateering,
nuno pro tune, under the Taris arrange
ment of lS.'G; and even Mr. Adams so
far lent himself to the bypooritical cant
as to call the Seward regime a "re
formed government" in comparison, of
course, with that of Cass, Marcy, and
Everett, his predecessors in office. Oddly
enough, in the correspondence now before
'us Republican diplomatio agents denounce
Democratic efforts to make an honorable and
useful aoquisition of certain West India
islands aa the vile work of persons like Jeffer
son Davis and 1'ierre Some. Use is made of
the names of these two gentlemen by way of
conveying tho opinion entertained then of
upright schemes of foreign acquisition
of property in the neighborhood of
the Caribbean Sea. Then it waa a tile Ostend
policy in which such as Fierce, Marcy, Bu
chanan, John Y. Mason, and Some, repre
senting the Democratic party, were oocupied.
No one ever ventured the suggestion that
there was any touch or taint of pecuniary
gain or that there were greedy camp-followers
in these efforts. Mr. Everett's admirable
reply of December 1, 1852, immediately after
the election of President Fierce, in answer
to the British and French propositions that
this Government join in tripartite conven
tion to guarantee abstinence from efforts to
obtain possession of Cuba, was made after
its distinguished author had ascertained
the views of the incoming President in the
matter, and was intended to express Demo
cratic opinion as well as the oonviotions of
President Fillmore. But it is a Ions step
from that note to Count Sartiges to a state
ment that its author would, if now on
earth, sanction the pending scheme of Baez-
Grant.
If the authors of the plan now before Con-
cress were really endeavoring to throw light
on toe probable. luture of nan Domingo
under our rule, they would obtain and pub
lish anthentio accounts of Spanish experience
there from 1861 to 1805. Spain la not a na
tion given to easy surrender, bne bold on
as long asjhope can exist, and sometimes even
beyond nope. A true CastUian rarely aban
dons his ground in the face of undue menace.
Spain was, in effect, invited to San Domingo
and spent there large amounts of monev in
the improvement of the country by building
roads and publio buildings such as Spain con
structs wnerever sue is in possession. But
despite all this, Spanish officers and troops
were actually poisoned and assassinated till
the troops were withdrawn. Dominicans may
prefer the rule of another foreigner to wit.
ourselves but this country wishes proof on
tne point.
THE MUZZLE FOE A PLAIN SPEAKER
From the A". Y. Times.
Certain gentlemen Lave preferred charges
against itev. vt. j.anab.an, assistant agent
of tbe Methodist Book Conoern, alleging
that he has made falsa sttmAntu in iif,1
to losses and frauds in that establishment
(thereby causing great damage to the Con
cern auu seauuai io tne unurchj, and pray
ing that he may be suspended, tried, and, if
found guilty, deposed from offioe. Dr. Lana
han maintains on his part that bis statements
as above are true, and that he is prepared to
prove them. The trial is to take plaoe on
the 12th of January, at No. 805 Broadway.
The Book Committee, and also the Bishops
who are to be convened to try the case, owe
it to themselves and to the Church that
the investigation shall be thorough,
complete, and open to the pablio
and no opportunity should be given to the
Book Committee to cover up or to exclude
eny testimony that would show fraud or mis
management. The property of the Conoern
belongs to tbe travelling preachers of the
Northern States, and they have a right to
kuow if it has been tampered with, and, if
eo, to what extent. What the Churoh re
quires is light, not darkness and whitewash.
(To VhrUdan Adoocate, of this city, has
done its best to misrepresent and confuse
every question at issue. It has declare!
that tbe alleged frauds in the Methodist
Book Concern "have not only not been
proved, but they have not been made de
cently probable." Yet in the first report of
tbe committee which inquired into the al
leged frauds (November, 1809), the third
resolution ran as follows: "That the inves
tigation of the bindery has satisfied the
Committee that there had been a great mis
management in this department, and that
serious losses have oocurred therein." Dr,
Curry now denies all this for reasons which
may, perhaps, appear if the approaching in
vestigation is full and thorough, and not a
"hole-and-corner" affair, designed to conceal
the "mismanagement" referred to in the
above resolution of tbe committee. The
Christian AdvocateitseU, which now unblush
iDgly denies tbe existence of any wrong
doing, said last November: "The whole
Church owes a large debt of gratitude to
the members of the Book Committee for
their laborious, diligent, and patient investi
gations of the whole affair."
We need not expect to get at the truth on
this subject from the Christian Advocate
which, by the by, very naturally came the
other day to the defense of Messrs. Astor,
Taylor, Roberts A Co., white washers by
wholesale and retail. So many jobs in that
line have had to be done of late to the Metho
dist Book Concern, that the Christian Advo
cate has that "fellow feeling" whioh "makes
us wondrous kind" towards the great profes
sors of tbe art. What we demand now, in
behalf of thousands of Methodists, is a fair
and impartial investigation. The attempt is
to be made to burke Dr. Lanahan, and if it
succeeds, it will be one of the greatest scan
dals ever brought upon the Methodist Church.
Tbe swagger of the Christian Advocate cannot
be allowed to blind the publio to the true
facts of the case. The editor of that journal
would probably like to have the whole ques
tion settled in Boom No. 13, under the direc
tion of Judge Cardozo. But that style of
"hushing up unpleasant business is not yet
universal, and if Dr. Lanahan is to be hounded
down for doing bis duty as an honest man
and a Christian gentleman, it will have to
be done in the face of day, and with the
full light of publio opinion turned .upon the
transaction.
A DANIEL COME TO JUDGMENT.
From the K. T. Sun.
King William's recent address to the Ger
man armies indicates that he has no hope of
a speedy termination of the war. In admit
ting that his object is still unattained, he in
directly pays a compliment to the French,
whose prowess prevents him from attaining
it. He says explicitly that "Important tasks
remain to be performed before we shall
achieve a lasting peace, and it would be ecu
nurable to make any peace whioh involves
the continuation of the duties which brought
you here. Ibis is tbe most ominous deolara
tion he has made since the outbreak of the
war. It obviously refers to the well-known
determination of France never to submit to
the encroachments of the invader, and to the
settled purpose of Germany to weaken France
to such an extent as to render her harmless
to her neighbors for generations to come.
It will be perceived that the pretensions of
the Prussian monarch increase in proportion
to tbe duration of tho conflict, in the be
ginning he declared that he was making war
not upon France but upon Napoleon; but
after tbe fall of the empire he declined to
make peace, upon the ground that the repub
lic did not represent the lawful Government
of I' raace. Now that tbe republio represents
France, he cannot any longer draw an invi
dious distinction between the Government
and the nation, and ought therefore to throw
off the mask, and proclaim to the world that
be will not make peace until the utter anni
hilation of France shall offer a guarantee to
Germany against ner future resentments and
a renewal of tbe Btrife.
The practical drift of this policy means the
conquest of all France: for the heroio resist
ance of the French shows that neither the
fall of Paris nor any other reverse will dis
pose them more favorably to the enoroach
ments of Germany. The language of the
King intimates that, as the French may be
expected to renew tne war at tne first oppor
tunity, Germany will consent to no unoertain
peace, but will secure it only by destroying
France as a military and political power so
completely and irretrievably as to make it
physically impossible for her ever to threaten
again the integrity ox German soil, or to lift
a finger against German aggression. King
William's New Year's address deolares not
only war, but death againBt a whole nation,
and a nation endeared to humanity by its
glorious history and its generous enthusiasm
for liberty and civilization. Tne grim tier
man potentate actually puts on the black cap
of tbe criminal judge, and admonishes Franoe
that as she has sinned against Germany she
is to be strangled until she ia dead. Not
even in the darkest ages of history has there
been an instance of snob remorseless yen
geanoe. We are glad to believe that the
menace will prove utterly vain.
KU-KLUX AT WEST POINT.
From the N. Y. Tribune.
W hen the court at the United States Mill
tary Aeademy has discovered whether Cadet
Anderson trod on Cadet Smith a toes, we beg
that an inquiry may be made into the extra
ordinary story of the banishment of three
young men by their comrades for an offense
of which the authorities of the post had
already taken notioe. The quarrels between
tbe colored I ad Smith and the mettlesome
young warriors who axe leading the "d-
nigger" such a pleasant life are doubtless
important In their bearing upon the con
dition of the Academy, though not of mo
mentous consequence to the world at large
but the outrage charged upon the members of
tbe first-class deserve more particular atten
tion.and calls for a rigid investigation. Three
members of the fourth class, it seems, had
committed the offense of drinking whisky,
ana to save them from expulsion their class
mates volunteered to take a pledge of absti
nence during their whole course at tbe Aoade-
iny. I his was a common practioo at West
Point and a very good one too but it did
not please the young gentlemen of the gradu
ating class that it should be applied to tbe
E resent case, and they accordingly took the
iw into their own hands. In tbe dead of
night they dragged the offenders from their
quarters, made them dress in their suits of
citizens' clothe, and marched them to old
Fort Putnam, where the three lads were loft,
and warned never to. return to West Point,
under penalty of a ooat of tar and feathers.
The class consists of forty-three members,
and all but ten took part iu tbe outrage.
Thus there appears to be at West Point a
sort of Vehmio court, whioh assumes the
privilege of overruling tbe appointed autho
rities, and executing its decrees by midnight
terrorism and violence, as tbe free judges of
Westphalia punished the vietiirs of their
secret tribunals by tbe knife and cord of the
sworn assassin. If such things happened at
an ordinary school, we should think theut
bad enough; bat when they occur at tbe
national establishment where the soldiers of
the future are supposed to learn tbe soldierly
virtues of strict obedience, subordination,
respect for anthority,.we are apprehensive
that there must be some lack of discipline in
tbe administration of the pest, and a danger
ous spirit among tbe pupils. A formal court
of inquiry is not likely to reach tbe root ot
this evil.
DOWNFALL OF RADICALISM.
From the HarrUburg Patriiit,
It has been said that the destruction of
every political party begins by the more vio
lent driving the more moderate into union
with their opponents. The history of tbe
Republican party is affording yet another
illustration of the truth of this remark. While
the Jacobins in Franoe threw the moderate
Republicans into the party of reaction, the
happy effect of the overthrow of radicalism
in this country will be the bringing into
power of the party of the Constitution. The
very measures which tbe violent radicals in
Congress and the Cabinet have taken to per
petuate their power are those which are now
hastening their downfall.
One year after the close of the war tbe Re
publican party could boast of a considerable
and influential following in the Southern
States. The people, sickened with carnage,
were anxious to return to peaceful relations
with their Northern neighbors. In that
Southern Republican Convention which met
in Philadelphia in 186 were many prominent
citizens of the South. They had heartily
attaohed themselves to the Republican party
in the sincere belief that to that organization
alone must they look for the restoration of
their political rights in the Union. But
where now are these Southern Republicans?
They have been driven into the Democratic
party by violence. So great has been the re
vulsion that tne radical leaders cannot now
without difficulty count on their fingers ten
prominent Southern men, natives and.to the
manor born, who are in affiliation with them
to-day.
Not all the allurements of plaoe and power
could tempt them to desert the cause of their
oppressed neighbors. Of all that host who
were the guests of the Broad Street League
in 18GG, scarcely any are now found in the
Republican party. Georgia has been recon
structed, and reconstructed yet again and
again, and each time returns with a heavier
Democratic majority, each time reinforced
by acquisitions from the Republicans who
have been driven away by violence. Mode
rate, conservative Georgia furnishes a proof
of the folly of attempting to pin a Republican
State to the earth with bayonets.
When the intention was declared of testing
1 roe of the despotic reconstruction aots in
tho Supreme Court, the radicals, in fear of
that tribunal, composed of a majority of
moderate Republicans, at once menaced its
authority and its very existence. This
assault on a co-ordinate branch of the Gov
ernment only alarmed the more moderate
Republicans, and threw them into opposition.
At the head of this new revolt stands the
venerable Chief Justice Chase, one of the
founders of the party, and one who contri
buted as much to its prestige and success as
any man in the country. He and thousands
of his more moderate friends were foroed by
the violent radicals into union with their
opponents, and since they have got in, they
seem to have taken a great liking to their
company.
What but the greed and selfishness of the
monopolists of tbe East has driven tens of
thousands of Western Republicans into oppo
sition? Not content with what they had al
ready aoquired from a partial national legis
lature, they rushed on rapaciously, session
after session, increasing the taxes on the
necessaries of life, under the shabby pretext
of protecting American industry, until they
provoked a hostility which threatens them
with the loss of as many States in the West
as their despotic reconstruction acts have cost
them in the South. Moderate political asso
ciates who lazily voted for protective tariff
actp, without being convinced, have been
compelled to examine the question, and in
doing bo have been converted into advocates
of free trade.
The insolent majority which for years oould
pass almost any tariff act under a suspension
of the rules without permitting disousaion,
will find themselves turned into a minority
in the Forty-second Congress. So much for
radical violence in another direction.
The fraudful processes by whioh the ultra
radicals secured the adoption of theloth amend
ment has caused another revolt of the mode
rate Republicans. Although they aoquired
the votes of many thousands of negroes, the
desperate means to which they resorted in
foroing through their measure lost them far
more than tbey gained. The violence done to
tbe Constitution of Indiana is revenged by
tne people or tnat state in tne election or a
Democratic Legislature. In Pennsylvania
there is a Demooratio benate in defiance
of gerrymander.
Congress in passing the laws authorizing
tbe interference of the military in eleotions
la producing yet another schiBm which threat
ens more disaster to radicalism than any other
cause, urant s obstinate resolve to consum
mate the corrupt bargain for San Domingo,
and the support which he receives from But
ler, Morton, and other dangerous men of the
party, have produced a violent rupture, and
the bitter quarrel with Sumner and his friends
is but a symptom of the fatal disease which
has seized hold of radicalism. What
with Butler s malignant amnesty.
which is worse than no amnesty at alL and
the threat of more reoonstruotion, accom
panied, by another military invasion of the
South, the great Republican party is fast
sinking into a violent and vindiotive faction
in Congress, with a stubborn military chief.
tain, possessing no political experience, at
the Lead of the Government. In pushing on
from one exoess to another in the hope of re
covering lost ground, the radical leaders but
illustrate the history of other violent parties

auing their destiny. These modern Jaoobins
will rush on until they, too, find their Ninth
lhermldor.
FAILURES IN ART CONSIDERED AS
AUTHORITIES IN CRITICISM.
Vom JSitry Saturday.
Mr. Disraeli, in his novel of "Lothair,"
started anew an oia cusoussion, by his super
eilious fleer at critics as a set of fellows who
bad failed, as producers, in the departments
of literary and artistio effort they wished to
dominate as judges. The exasperation caused
by this insolent fling was intensified by the
fact that ten the poorest eritio feels that Mr.
Disraeli, in literature as in politics, is simply
the cleverest of charlatans; that, with all his
talent, be ia profoundly insincere; that his
object in life has been not to obtain fame, or
even reputation, but notoriety; and that he
thicks notoriety can be more surely obtained
by being denounoed as a ooxoomb in letters
and a trickster ia politics than by being
punea as a car arm. artist and honest states
man, lhe general principle that Mr. Dis
raeli anuonnoea can be easily overturned by
cmng nucu ismiuar uaiues as leasing, bchie
Eel, Carlyle, Macaulny, Salnto-Beuve, and
lattbew Arnold, who are "nothing if not
critical," but who at tbe same time have
shown that critical sagacity may rank among
tbe finest expressions of original geninn. It
would be ridiculous to suppose that either of
the men we have named in not a greater lite
rary power than Mr. Disraeli.
But, admitting the fact of "failure," we do
not see tbe force ot Mr. Disraeli's sarcasm.
The objection to most critics is that tbey
have not practically handled the matters they
judge. Tbey know nothing of the technical
difficulties which the artist has to overoome.
Thackeray failed as a painter; but as a critic
of pictures he was, within tbe scope of his
sympathies, an admirable judge. Sainte
Benve may be said to have failed as a poet
and a novelist; but as the most delicate,
genial, tolerant, and appreciative critic of
poems and novel?,, nobody now questions his
ability or integrity. The objeetiou to un
successful romancers, poets, painter, sculp
tors, and musical composers, considered as
critrcs, cannot be that they are not intellec
tually prepared for their business; but that
failure has so embittered their minds that
their judgments will necessarily be the judg
ments of envy and malice.
As far as ill success in any special pursuit
utterly corrupts the moral nature of a man,
and turns him into a moral assassin, this
objection is valid; but it is notorious that the
highest reverence for genius and the subtlest
perception of its felicities of execution are
often seen in persons who, originally mis
taking aspiration for inspiration, have at last
subsided into intelligent and genial interpre
ters of works they could not hope to rival as
creators. In Germany and France suoh per
sons are more common than in England and
the United States; but both in England and
the United States tbey are more common than
is supposed, lhey are often overlooked.
misunderstood, or decried, simply because
they have an artistic horror of the perversion
of artistic genius to the production of mere
sensational effects. Knowing, as they do,
hew cheap and vulgar are the contrivances
by which great artms can astonish
the crowd into unintelligent admiration
oi mere tours ae force, they have no
hesitation in assailing eminent singers and
composers when they cheapen and vulgarize
art in order to make money. They are de
nounced as being jealous of superior repu
tations, when tbey are really jealous only ot
the cause of art itself, compromised by the
greed of its most prominent exponents.
They are sufficiently acquainted with the
technicalities of tbe special art in which they
have "failed" to know that the persons who
have succeeded frequently condescend to
tricks which they as critics both understand
and despise. They do not deny the genius of
the artist: they simply stigmatize that perver
sion of his gifts by which he consents to sac
rifice art in order to get more notoriety and
money for himself.
What speoially enrages this class of cri
tics is that England and the United States are
relatively deficient in artistio perception, and
are, at the same time, tbe two countries in
which artists, descending to the level of Call-
fornian gold-seekers, hope "to make their
pile." Art is therefore apt to be vulgarizod
in the two nations where art can, as far as
money is concerned, be best remunerated.
JenDy Lind was undoubtedly a great singer;
but when she inconsiderately sold herself to
Barnum she vulgarized musical genius. No
man or woman who had "failed in getting
prominence ' as a singer was guilty of tbe
charge of being envious, jealous, and malig
nant in denouncing her triumphal progress
through the United States, as a triumph of
humbug, pure and nndehled. Barnum glo
ried in making merchandise out of her very
virtues. In every ten-dollar ticket he sold,
he made the purchaser understand that only
four dollars were chrgod for the wonderful
voice; the remaining six dollars were cyni
cally exacted for her sweetness and goodness
of character.
As long as any art, whether it be the art by
which Mr. Disraeli constructed "Lothair," or
the art by which speculators in musical repu
tations puff tbe celebrities they have in
charge, we trust the "failures" in literature
and musio will prosecute their useful busi
ness of criticism. A few of them may be
prompted by malignant feelings; but it is
easy to cast them scornfully aside as not be
longing to the critical but tbe criminal
classes. The remainder, whom we fully be
lieve to constitute nine-tenths of the general
body, will, we hope, uphold the grand lead
ing principles of art against charlatanism in
every form, especially in that form in which
it is most pernicious; the form, namely, it
assumes when genius lends itself to "the
ways that are dark, and tbe tricks that are
vain of business speculation.
