The following letter from tbo American Con
sul, at St. Thomas, inclosing what he presumes
to be a proclamation from the adherents of
Cabal, has been received by the State Depart
ment: Consulate of the United States, St.
Thomab, W. I., Jan. 13, 1871. lion. Hamilton
Fish, Secretary of State, Washington, U. S
Sir: I have the honor to enclose herewith a
proclamation, with translation hastily male,
purporting to bo lsmed by 1000 patriots of the
republic of St. Domingo, denunciatory of tbe
President of the United States and of the an
nexation of St. Dom-ngo to the United States.
It is the most outrag3ous of the series of pro
clamations issued by Cabral and bis mercenary
ring of followers here in St. Thomas. It was
placed in my hands hut a few moments since,
aud as the New York steamer is already
In and rails this evening, I can give but
little information respecting its origin or
history. This mnch 1 know, however. A
package of them was received this afternoou
per paeket from Curacoa, where they were pro
bably printed, and where all Cabral's proclama
tions heretofore have been printed by Messrs.
Crime fc Lucroix. The first named Is Cabral's
agent in this city, which is enough to sify of
him, and Lacroix is an exile from Porto Klco,
a notorious intriguer and conspirator, and one
Of tbe leading spirits of the Cabral ring of this
island. Tbe proclamation was probably written
in St. Thomas, sent to Curacoa and printed
and returned here. This last I conclude from
the fact that time has not elapsed for it to
nave gone from Hayti or St. Domingo to Cura
coa, be printed, and come here. It is dated the
let of January, 1871. It requires eight or nine
days to go from Hayti to Curacoa, and five or
Eix days from Curacoa to this city. I might
have concluded it was printed here, for the im
print is 6omcwbat like the Tidemla; but Crime
was teen to get the package from the local Post
Ofliee, and tbe one sent was got from him at
the moment lie opened the package. By late
advices from Porto Plata everything is reported
quiet in St. Domingo. I have the honor to be,
eir, your mo6t obedient servant,
Ihomas J. Bradley, Consul.
THE RBVOI.CTIONAIIY PROCLAMATION.
To arms, Domlnlclans! to arms! Tho sword of
treason once more hanging over our heads, like the
sword of Damocles, threatens to cut down the tree
of our independence by the roots. Ulysses Grant,
the gratuitous enemy of our liberties, the accom
plice of lilies',, that new ArUtabulua who only desires
power In order to stain himself with every kind of
crime; liljsses Oraut, the worthy successor of
Adams and I'olk, the Immortal trumpeter of the
Monroe doctrine, still insists on traitorously
becoming master of our country, the native
land of I'lna (touches, Perez, aud Meela, in
order to convert it Into an Inheritance for
his legions of Yankees, those modern Dorians, who
will come to Impose upon a free people the sad fate
which lu ancient timet fell to the lot of the Messe
nluuB and Laconians. Lying, wheedling, and bribery
have not yet been able to complete the two-thirds of
favorable votes which are required in the Senate at
Washington for the realisation of this wicked plan,
and already the filibusters who are ripening it, In
connection with a handful of Dominican traitors, are
congratulating themselves, through a salaried press,
wi'h the hope that the conquerors of Lee will not
fall to keep the rudest elements of D3mlnlcaa
society aloof from all interference with the mt'erlal
progress of the country. And do you know, sons of
Auguste and Fabre, what those terrible words sig
nliv? They coutaln a sentence of condemnation
and death against us all. They announce to us the
sad future that awaits us, If we suffer the Aug of the
cross to be lowered and permit that of the Stars and
Stripes to he raised In Its stead. What matters It to
us that after annexation has beeu consummated
the natural wealth of the country will not be ne
Bleated, or that the magnificent roads, bays, and
ports whleh cause it to be so much coveted will
cease to be deserted waters, If we cstder
that, as rude elements, we shall be ex.
eluned with lire and sword from the bene
fits of that material progress which Baez and
his cnltliroats hold out to us? What benefits are
tbe Creek Indians now deriving from the progress
of TeiineKKce, their native country, driven as they
were from It by the bloodthirsty soldiers of i He In
exorable Jackson ? What benefit are the Winne
bagoes deriving from the advancement of Indiana,
when they were driven from their ancient homes by
the soldiers of Scott? What do the Cherokecs gain
by their country's now being an emporium where
the sol) on which they were born was cruelly taken
from them by the inhuman Pickens? Fi
nally, what do the Texaua gain by the
transformation of their country, when they can
only see It from a distance? And what
reason have we to expect to be more fortnnate than
the Creeks, the Winnebagoes, the Cherokeesand the
Texans? Let us not be deceived, Domiu cans, IIK
those primitive Inhabitants of North Atuenoa. We
shall also be dispossessed by the Yankees of our
lands, our rights aud our liberties, and alas for the
conquered when we appeal to arms to regalu those
lost beneilts! Treated, then, like rude elements,
who shall be driven with fire aud sword from our
country, tormented by the remorse of having
opened her gates to the foreigners But there U yet
time, sons of Augustn and Febre, to avoid the evil
which threatens us. Grant asks of Congress the power
of seiidiig a commission to come and makearrauge
meiits with the Judas who govern us f ir the sale of
our country for a mess of pottage, Let us take up
arms before tnls comes to pass, and let ns hurl for
ever from the seat of power the vulgar tyrant who is
oppressing and betraying us To arms, Dominicans,
to arms! Public opinion is not with the traitors.
1 bey are treading on the combustibles which tier
have piled up with their vloleuee and truolty, and
tbese cnrabUHtlbles will convert the republic into
an immense funeral pile, as soon an Cubrai shall
fire his first shot at Azua de CornpoHttlia. Let us
precipitate events. Let us plunge at o..ca into revo
lution. To arms, then, to arms! When Grant's
bargainers reach our snores, Instead of raiding a
nation of buffoons ready to forge themselves toa
chains of their slavery, let them meet a nation or
freemen resolved to perish la order to preserve the
acred treasure of their Independence,
To arms, Dominicans, to arms !

BRIBES AND WAGERS.
Tbe of Money at Klectlona Kenonioiead
acioaa ol a Count liul.onul Auaeadmeel.
The Governor of New York has sent to the
State Senate the following message:
To the Legislature:
Intelligent and fair-minded men of all parties
agree that one cf tbe greatest evils of tbe times
connected with elections is the corrupt use of
money to influence tbe votes of electors. AH
laws and measures which aim at establishing
purity in elections will fall in their purpose
if tbev fall short of this one great evil.
Registry laws, no matter how strin
gent, do not prove effeclive. No power
can puard the ballot-boxes to any purpose if
the men whose constitutional privilege it Is to
vote are to be influenced in the exercise of that
privilege by the corrupt use of money. In all
countries tbe purchase and sale of otlices, civil
fr military, is proline or evu. jn a repurmc use
CUla Li puichtt uud fclo of VuUtl'a aud of
TOUtt endanger Uie whole organuaUoa and
structure of the government. It cannot be dis
puted that all through the State nominations to
office, Federal and State, are often bestowed
npon men for tbe reason, and the only reason,
that they will indulge ia lavish expendi
ture of money to secure success. Money,
not merit, secures nominations and con
trols results. It is a fact too general and
too apparent to be denied that large amounts
are expended by candidates for office at every
election for other than honest and lawful elec
tion expenses,' that they are directly applied to
the purpose of corrupting and debauching the
electors, and very often to the almost open pur
chase of votes. This pernicious and dangerous
practice is not peculiar to cities and villages; it
pervades the whole State; scarcely a neighbor-

Constitution nnd laws, tbe wrong-doers know
very well they cannot be convicted or punished.
We shall never have pure elections until we
strikeout tbe root of the evil. Public opinion
cannot be concentrated with sufficient force
against the wrong to correct it. What is ab
solutely necessary is that some men, who
seek their own advancement by corrupting
their fellows, should be convicted and pun
ished as criminals. It is far more important to
punish those (men who tempt and corrupt than
him who, being tempted, yields and fills.
Under our present constitution, laws nviy be
passed excluding from the right of suffrage
persons who may be convicted of bribery, lar
cery, or of any infamous crime; and for depriv
ing persons who may make wagers upon the
result of any election of the right of voting at
such election. And this is all that can be done
under the 'existing provisions of the Constitu
tion, which needs to be amended in this respect,
resolutions proposing amendments passed the
f cnate nnd Assembly in 185:j, but fulled to re
ceive the assent of the Legislature choicn at
tbe next election of Senators.
I respectfully recommend the adoption of
these resolutions by the present Legislature,
with such modifications, if any, as to them may
reem proper, so that the next Legislature, (a
new Senate being chosen next November) may
act npon them, and, as I trust they will do, con
cur In them and send them for approval to the
people. Joiin T. Hoffman.
THE BROOKLYN (HS EXPLOSION.
Fall rnvilcnlnrs Van man Killed and Two
M lnina-iireat Dmtrnctlon ol Property.
Tbe New York Post ot last evening says:
The explosion of the works of the Brooklyn
Has Company has been already reported. The
following full particulars of tbe affair have since
been obtained:
In one of tbe yards of the company, bounded
by Plymouth, atcr, and Gold streets, three
large holders or tanks are stationed, two of
which at the time of tbe accident were filled with
gas. Tbese holders are divided into two sec
tions upper and lower and when lowered they
lap together; the sections are raised by chains
running through wheels placed above.
Tbe large tank, fronting on Gold street, has
been out of order for some weeks, and is said
to have contained no gas. This morning one of
tbe supports of the structure gave way, and the
upper section of the tank fell with great force.
Workmen were immediately sent to the place
and began pumping air into the upper section
for the purpose of ralsirg it. Durinir the pro
gress of the work, it is supposed, some of the
wheels became clogged. The pressure of lr
already in the holder was very great, and at
thisciilical moment one of the girders of the
structure snapped asnnder, causing one of the
massive iron pillars of the work to give way.
Tbe engine room and boilers of the works are
situated under ground, and the engineer, who
was below at the lime cf the accident, hearing
tbe noise overhead, rushed up to inquire Its
cause. Almost as soon as he reached the ground
tbe iron column fell upon him and crushed hint
into a shapeless mass.
The iron pillar then tottered over and fell
upon the ton of tbe tank on Water street, crush
ing it completely in. This tank was filled, with
gas, wblch escaped in a great volume, and
coming in contact with the flames from the en
gine room, exploded with a terrible force. The
names shot to a height ot over two hundred
foet, and the noise of tbe explosion was plainly
neara ior a great distance.
The report caused a alight panic in the public
school close by, but the efforts of the teachers
succeeded in preserving order and quieting tbe
fears ot the pupils. Six tenement-houses on
Gold street and three on Wuter street, ou tbe
same block, were shattered as if by an earth
quake. The windows were blown out and the
plastering loosened from the walls and ceilings.
A fire broke out in one of tbe tenements on
Gold street, and caused considerable damage.
The people living in tbe shattered dwellings
bave been busy since the accident removing tbe
furniture from their homes, and their condition
is truly pitiable. The buildings are all the
Eioperty of the gas company. Tbe damage
y tbe explosion is estimated at $150,000. Tnid
is tbe third time within a recent period that
explosions bava occurred on the premises. A
rigid investigation will soon be made. A watch
man, John Ilarley, and a laborer named Ueed
are missing, and believed to be under the ruins.
The firemen and police are now engaged in
clearing away the rubbish, with the view of re
covering the bodies.
WRECKERS ON THE MISSISSIPPI.
Fahtln for Plunder Scenes About the
Wrerk of Ike Nteainer Mela III Theft and
Kruuillly.
The Memphis Avalanche of January 21 Bays:
Tbe T. L. McOill disaster, which occurred a
week a.;o last nliiht, is fresh in the miuds of our
readers. Charles Foster, the mate of the
McGill, with six of tbe deck hands, remained
with tbe freight to protect and guard it until
the underwriter agents could reach the place.
Tbe remainder of tbe McGill's crew came to the
city some days ago, and pasted on to their
several homes. La6t Monday and Tuesday skiffs
propelled by negroes and white men made their
appearance about tbe wreck, and began to carry
olt everything and anything that could be got
out. Like hungry vultures, hunting carrion,
they hourly increased in number, until thirty or
forty were at work pillaging, stealing, and ran
sacking from among the debris of the smoking
bulk.
At tbe came time crowds of vicious-looking
persons, black and white, gathered around tbe
uninjured freight pile on the shore, aud the
men in charge of it began to imagine they were
after no good; in fact, they grew somewhat un
easy in tbeir minds concerning their own
eafety. Tbeir alarm was increased at night
fall, for then hideous faces could be seen peep
ing at intervals from behind fence corners and
bubes in the vicinity. Toward midnight they
were startled by a riile shot, tbe ball of which
wllbUed in close proximity to tbeir ears,
fcvery mother's son of them darted behind an
oat pile. )ut in time to save themselves from
half-a-dozen shots, which followed the first In
quick succession. Voices strange, sepulchral
voices next yelled to the guardsmen, "Take
tbe river! take tbe river!" but the boatmen
fired at I he rascals, held them at bay, and built
barricades of oau and corn piles and pork
barrels.
Next day Mr. S. F. Belcher, the Sheriff of
Tunica county, was sent to for assistance. A
deputy and six men went to reinforce the
guard. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday
nights the robbers gathered in increased num
bers, and kept np a desultory lirlng, like skir
mishing in tbe front of an army. In one of these
attacks tbe horse of the sheriff' deputy re
ceived a bullet, but no other harm was done.
except that the oat and corn-bag barricades
were well perforated by bullet-holes. Thesberllf
and mate, with their forces, fired numerous
vollevs at tbe scouudrels, some of which, it is
. UiuukLI, tli uck luo iL.clua. At cVsnU tllcv
I tailed W tome to time, UiouU wueu Capuin
Barnard, the underwriter from St. Louis, reached
tbe scene, be deemed it wii-e to arm lilme f at
once. A double-barreled gun, well charged
Vtith luckfbot, caused his interviewers to keep
a respectful distance and maintain a civil bear
ing. Tbe freight was all got off on the Cheek,
except a part that was surreptitiously spirited
off in spite of the efforts of tbe guardsmnn.
Captain Barnard remained at the wreck to see
if other propei ty cannot be saved.
PARIS UNDKIt FIRE.
Fearful Nernra In the Street.
The special correspondent of the Daily Kewn
in Paris, in a letter of the 8lh, says there can
be no doubt of the resolution of the people to
resist to tbe laet:
"TLey will resist far longer than any one
could have supposed. When I last wrote to
ou on this subject I stated that Paris could
hold out certainly to the let of Febru rv, ami
prolably for a longer period. But I think I
may now say with tolerable certainty that Paris
is good for the 1st of March. It is beyond all
expectation, and I confess I am surprized; hut
it is no more tban members of the Government
have again and again predicted in my hcirin
for many weeks past.
"The bombardment still goes on, but with an
effect, moral and physical, so small that any
description it would sound almost like
bravado. That there have been deaths, and that
tbeie has been destruction, it W impossible to
deny; and death and destruction are alvavs
teriible to witness. But for tbe object which
the Prussians have in view the prodigiom can
nonade with which Paris has beeu vlited might
as well have been a salvo of champagne b it ties.
The only prnctlcal result of the bombardment
which I can find is one jest the more for the
little boys of Paris. Wbeu they see a man or a
woman particularly well dressed say a miu
glorious iu furs that argue au extraordinary care
of his person tbey cry out 'ilat, flat! a shell, a
shell, a plat ventre! Down on your faces.' Tne
man, gorgeous in fur, falls flat on the ground
perhaps iu tbe gutter and tbo Parisian urchin
rejoices with exceeding great joy.
"Tbe Prussian shells have buret upon the gar
dens of the Luxemburg, upon the Iovalldes,
npon tbe Observatory, upon the boulevard aud
street which take their uame from tbe hottest
of all hot places the Boulevard d'Enfer. But
most of all they seem to converge upon the
Pantheon, for it appears that the Prussians
have an idea that here is a powder magazine.
There is not a grain of powder in the Pan
theononly hundreds of women and scores of
men praying to Sainte Genevieve to save
Paris though the blessed virgin of Nan
terre seems to hear them not. This quar
ter of tbe town begins to be deserted, for It is
dangerous. A cautlniere is in her bed, sonud
asleep, and dreaming doubtless of her gallant
regiment; a shell kills her In her sleep. A dozen
people are drinking at a cabaret; a shell comes
to scatter mem. A mother Is sitting at her table
with her two daughters; a 6hell smashes into the
room, but does them no barm. In a house hard
by it but sts on two babies in their cradles: the
mother rushes in terror-stricken, and swoons
wiiu joy to una mat ner babes are unhurt.
In one of tbe houses some soldiers are cook
ing tbeir dinner; a shell conies tumbling into
the pot, and tbe dinner is dissipated, but the
soldiers are untouched. In another house a cele
brated painter is working at his easel; a shell
plunges into his studio, destroys his pictures, but
does bim no bodily harm. A cab jogs along the
streets iu tbe lazy fashion peculiar to French
cabs. It contains two ladies, and if the coach
man bad been a little more active it need not
now be recorded that one was killed and the
other only frightened. Frighteued! People
may well be frightened at such personal expe
riences; but Paris, nevertheless, is compara
tively indifferent, aud tbe psychological m unent
is not come, nor is it at band. So much life has
been destroved that a few lives more or less
can make no great difference; and so much
property valuable property has suffered de
struction around Paris that moro waste and de
struction can produce little effect. We have
become seasoned to suffering hardened."
LIFE INSURANCE.
Verdict Aanlnat a Companv Important Prece-
Thomas Jones, of Newark, N. J., brought a
suit in tbe Kings County Supreme Court, before
Judge rratt, against the Brooklyn Life Insur
ance compauy, ior tne recovery ot a policy
amounting to $2000, obtained by Isaac Nevning,
also of Newark, in favor of Jones. Tbe latter
kept a liquor saloon. Newning got into his debt
to the amount of $1300, and the policy was ac
cepted in payment. The defeuse contended that
Newning was u confirmed drunkard, and died
from the direct effects of liquor. It was there
fore held that the policy had been vitiated. The
case being given to tbe jury, tbey rendered a
verdict for 1147.2-85, including interest, in favor
of tbe plaintiff.

The series of snow-storms durlug the past
week have created many obstructions to tr ivH

iu most departments of trade. Supplies ot
Western products and tbe manufactures of
States North and West have been greatly ex
hausted' causing a temporary advance in priees.
The Money Market has been more or less
affected Ly this derangement In business, and
there is perhaps less demand for money. But
the feature is only temporary and will give
place to a somewhat violent reactiou when tbe
impediments to traffic referred to are removed.

Washington, Jan. 23. The sub-committee
of the Committee on Appropriations continue
their investigations as to the conduct of the
Indian Bureau. Last night they exvniued two
merchants of New York with reference to the
ptiM'hnse of goods for the O-age Iii'lians. the
object being to ascertain whether extraordinary
prices were paid for them. It appeared from
their testimony that the goods were sold by
them at the lowest market price. General
Meigs und Major Bubarry, of the Q'larterm in-
terV Department, were examined as to the con
tracts for transportation, and whether the ludltn
Depat Uncut could not have transported the
goods tinder the contract with the War Depart
ment. Their testimony was to the effect that
Ibis could have been done instead of by special
contract.

London, Jan. 26 Despatches dated Paris
January' 23 say: At noon yesterday, aio it
two hundred ot tbe nio.-t repulsive and vil
lainous-looking ruffians in the city, including a
large number of soldiers and the 101st war
baliallion ol tbe .National tiuard. marched In a
body to tbe place In front of the Hotel de Ville,
uttci lug revolutionary cries aud calling upon
the citizens to arm.
Hever during the present troubles has a crowd
been seen bringing so vividly to mind the hor
rors of the old French revolution. Alter gazing
ou tbe hideous laces and hearing the hoarse,
uncouth voices, it required but a little stretch of
the imagination to picture the background, with
the reeking knives, the blood stained guillotine,
and the female furies of those terrible days.
RESISTANCE.
Tbey occupied the place over an hour with
out any opposition, siugiug, shouting, and yell
ing. In tbe meantime a small guard of Mobiles
and Bretons were drawn up iu front ot the
Hotel de Ville, who stood their ground, avoid
ing any collision with tbe mou by all the uieaus
iu their power.
HOSTILITIES BEGUN.
After 2 o'clock tbe Adjutant iu command, ad
vancing in front of the men on account f a
MiRiew bat more threatening demonstration by
the crowd, was tired upon aud full, severely
wounded in tbe head and arm.
THE CHOWI) riHEU UI'ON.
Immediately on seelug tbel officer faU the
Mobiles fired on the eiod, creating a terrible
panic. Unfortunately, a uumber of perso'us
w bo bad gathered as lookers ou, encouraged
by tbe length of time which had elapsed with
out violence, were drawu up la front of the
Hotel de Ville, received the shots of tbe
Mobiles.
THE KILLED AND WOUNDED.
As the ciowd lied shrieking, apparently fifty
of their number were left on tne ground. After

eighteen wounded more or lets Bevertly, besides

at bearing a sharp, cracking noiae as of break

sweeping crar-h as of the falling of some large

a dull, heavy sound as the body reached the

scrtamsof hutuau .beings who had bteu thus

during Intense agony.
lnriuiitly b11 eyes were turned toward the
portable engine manufactory of Lane k Bodley,
on the southeast corner of Water & John streets,
and almokt immediately thereafter a frightened
employe of that establishment came running
out with the woid that the roof of the boiler-t-bed
had fallen iu, killing the eight or ten uu

scarcely spoken when he suddenly tottered, aud
then rutik down to tbe floor, and, without a
fcttugk.)e, almost instantly died.
Tbe scene as be lay ftliere, tbe daughter
stricken with grief and terror, bending over him,
aud the little children sobbing as if their hearts
would break, was indescribably sad, and
awakened tbe profoundest sympathy of all who
witnesfed it.
