The Commissioners Visit tlic President A
Ionfj; Conference The Report not Dis
cussed. A Washington despatch to the New York Tri
bune says: Tbe health of Mr. Wade, which was
regarded with anxiety by his friends last night
was so far improved as to enable him to visit the
President to-day with the other commissioners,
ho were accompanied by Mr. Fred. Douglass,
General Sigol, and other gentlemen officially
connected with too expedition. Mr. Wades
complete and speedy recovery is regarded a?
certain, if he permitted to remain qulot tor a day
or two.
The President received the gentlemen very
kindly, and the conference lasted nearly two
hours. General matters relating to the island,
Its climate, bealthfulness, the comfort of the
commissioners, their entertainment, etc., were
referred to, and the President manifested much
feeling when he was assured that the climate
was regarded as healthful, and other advantages
were enumerated. "I knew It was so," he said.
'I lave been well informed npon the question,
and I have long known that the climate of 8 auto
Domingo was as you have described it."
Mr. Wade and Dr. Howe did most of the talk
ing ou the part of the commissioners, and both
expressed the belief that Cabral is of the class of
brigands who Infest the Grecian and Tarklsh
border.
The excitement regarding the reported loss of
the commissioners aud party by shipwreck was
made the subject of comment and congratula
tion, bnt notbinz was said about the delay and
procraelinatiou of the commissioners; nor was
the expected report further referred to. The com
missioners said they had the report in prepara
tion, and that tbey would present it when it was
tlnlishod, and the President signified his satis
faction, and did not ask when it would be ready
nor what it would contain.
Mr. Wade's illness will delay the report some
what, but It is probable it will be ready before
the end of the week. It is thought, tro.it the
well-known views of Mr. Wade and Dr. Howe,
that the report will guardedly suggest the im-
Bortance of any early consideration of the Santo
'omingo question by Congress, owing to the
helpless and hopeless condition of the people
of the island, which was brought about or engen
dered largely by the persuasive conduct ot the
United Slates for the past two years. From
opinions expressed to-night, it Is by no meant,
certain that Congress will postpone the subject
of annexation until next winter.
The Authenticity of Captalu Temple'
Letter.
The Tribune has a'so the following Washing
ton despatch: Doubt having been expressed by
the Secretary of the Navy and others regarding
the authenticity of the letter to Commissioner
Wade, signed by Captain Temple, of the steamer
Tennessee, published in the Tribune, in which
the writer refers to the attttude of the United
States in protecting the Baez Government
against Cabral, it is proper to say that the Tri
bune correspondent accompanying the Santo
Domingo expedition, who arrived last night.
confirms the authenticity of the letter
by stating that he copied it from
the original letter in the handwriting of Captain
Temple, with which he is familiar, and that be
is tioeitive that not only the signature was the
autograph of Captain Temple, but that the date.
designation, and text wer in his hand writing.
The letter, as the Tribune correspondent remem
bere. was written on ordinary letter paper, with
a lead pencil, and while there was nothing about
it which indicated that it was official, it did not
bear any marks showing that the writer regarded
it as private or personal, it was directed to Mr,
Wade in the ordinary manner, and it was re
garded by him as unnecessary, and not entitled
to attention,
lie therefore did not answer it, but gave his
views of the cose to Captain temple verbally.
It was copied by the correspondent ot the I rt
bune from the original furnished him by Mr.
Wade, and he says that until Captain Temple
or Mr. Wade denies the genuineness of the let
ter, it is unnecessary for him to present further
proof. The facts which called the letter forth
were recited in the Tribune when the letter was
first published. They were, simply, that two or
three newspaper correspondents, lurnisuoa with
letters ot introduction to Cabral from his
lrltLds and agents iu the United States, were
anxious to visit his encampment, if such a
thing existed: and, in f urtheranceof their desire.
tbty applied to Baez for a safe conduct through
bis lines. This application was first made to
Baez at canto Domingo, and subsequently at
Azua. At first it was refused by Baez, who
stated the importance of his position, aud the
censure and injury to him aud his cause, as well
as to annexation, if any gentleman attached to
the commission should be taken by Cabral or
killed by his soldiers. He therefore urged the
gentlemen to forego their undertaking.
The correspondents insisting that they were
individuals, responsible neither to him nor his
AUWI UlCil I SUU II Wt CTUIl Iff fcUO VU'MIU IP"
eioners themselves, and that they were willing
to lake the responsibility, and would bold
neither one government nor the other liable for
tbelr acts, the "Jockey Prealdeut" was forced,
much against his will, to withdraw his embargo
and give his consent to the proposed expedition
aero the country in pursuit or the ro'icl chief.
If Mr. Wade, President Baez, or r . body else,
referred the matter to Captain Temple for his
views, it could not be asoe it al nod by the corre
spondent of the tribune, after diligent inquiry,
and It is supposed that Uaptain temples per
tonal regard for the gentlemen composing the
proposed expedition induced him to interfere in
the matter. The letter was written to Mr.
Wade while be was in Azua, four miles from
the laudiDg, and the Tennessee was anchored ia
the bav.
Cabral Goes Back ou III Krleud Suiuuer.
The N. Y. Times' Washington correspondent
writes:
Mr. Sumner's friend and revolutionary patriot,
Jose Maria Cabral, who has been so often quoted
by the Senator, is at last beard from in a reliable
shape, but to an effect which upsets the Sena
tor's calculations, and shows that, being in
error as to everything else in regard to 8a
Domingo, b is a' so in error as to Ca'iral, ac
rordlnir to Cabral himself.
The following Interesting letter was obtained
h-r the San Domingo Commission at Port-ait
Prince, from a friend of Cabral, and is genulue,
beyond que tlon. It will be seen that Cabral U
ever more solicitous for the truth of history
than the Massachusetts senator:

FISK IN TROUBLE.
rlc In the Sheriff' I In ml Larc Seizure
of Property.
Port Jervis, March 28. This place has been
thrown into a high state of cxciteuieut by the
appearance of the Sheriff of Oransre county with
writs, which ha has served against the Erie Hall-
wav tympany, c. C. lyke, who receutly ob
tained a judgment for (35,000 against the' Erie
Company, for in j urles received at Carr's Rock, bad
an execution issued, ny advice of his attorneys,
from tbq Supreme Court of Kings county, to
satisfy the judgment, as the Erie Company in
tended to carry bis case to the Supremo Court.
The writ was aridrrsocd to the Sheriff of Orange
county, colonel eygant, and last night he
came to this place armed with bis authority,
and accompanied by the attorney of Mr. Dvke.
About 1 1 o clock he levied upon sixteen locomo
tives belonging to the company, aud
set a watch to prevent the getting up
of steam npon any of tbem.
Superintendent Kedillngton, of tho Delaware
lJlviMnn, witnessed the unexpected raid of the
sheriff, and could not conceal hi astonishment
at the extraordinary state of affairs. This morn
ing tills were posted about the btreots announ
cing the sale of the Jocomotlves by the sheriff,
to come off at the Delaware House in this
Elace, on the 3d of April next. This was the
rst public intimation of the movement, aud in
a short time crowds gathered around the bills
to read tbem.
The sheriff did not rest with levying on the
locomotives. The rolling stock of the Erie Rail
way is mortgaged for $75,000,000, and property
under attachment with such a prior claim as
that agaicst it would be of little use to the per
son directly Interested In this matter. So Sheriff
Weygant has been engaged during the day in
levying upoil 6000 railroad ties and 4000 or 5009
cords of wood, aud npon the iron used in tha
company's machine shop, which Is probably tho
mest important levy of all. These will be ad
vertised for sole within a week, if the matter is
not settled before.
At Uorceilsville a train was levied upon yes
terday and detained till it was ascertained
that it carried the mail, when it was allowed to
proceed. Tho Sheriff of Rockland county
levied this evening upon two locomotives and
ail the personal property of the Erie Railway at
cunern. mis is nicely to interfere with the
running f two passenger trains known as the
"Suflern accommodations." It Is also said that
tie palace car James Fisk, Jr., and consider
able personal property belonging to the Erie
Railway, were attached yesterday at Buffalo.

JEFF. DlYIS.
Mora Abont Ills Speech In Selina-Tho
('nut of the Rebellion Kot One of the
Dead Isaiiea with Him.
We find in the Seima (Ma.) Vre of Saturday
last a more complete account of the reception
given JefTersoiiDiivis, In that city, than was
contained In the Democratic papers published
the re. The rre. which is a Republican paper,
desciibes the affair and reports Davis' speech
th"s:
"Mr. Jefferson Davis, President of a Memphis
life insurance company, arrived in this city on
Sunday night, from- Montgomery. On Monday
be received many calls, and In the evening he
held quite a levee in the parlor of Kelpp's Hotel,
which was attended by a large number of ladies
and gentlemen. About 11 o'clock a brass band
appeared on Alabama street, in front of the
hotel, accompauied by a crowd of two or three
hundred people. The band discoursed 'The
Bonnie Blue Flag,' and on the cessation of the
music, loud calls were made for 'Davis,'
'Davis.' In answer to the call the
chief of the fallen Confederacy appeared
on ibe balcony, and addressed
the crowd for about ten minutes in a strain ot
impressive eloquence, which told with power
ful effect npon bis hearers. He commenced by
complimenting, in general terms, the people of
Alalama. lie had always loved them, and no w
felt that he could rest in peace with them for
ever. They were bone of his bone, and flesh of
bis fleth. Alabama and bis own State of Missis
sippi were yet one in principle, as they once
had been one in territory. Their people had
sent forth tbelr sons to battle on the same
fields for their rights as States. Bat, asked the
speaker with bitter emphasis, are they States
now? Yet, proceeding in an exultant
tone, he declared that 8tate sovereignty, al
though defeated in the late struggle, will ulti
mately triumph; its day of success might not
come In bis time, but be would live and die in
the belief that it would surely triumph. He de
clared that no people on earth had ever suffered
as bad the Southern people since the surrender
of the Southern armies, and he loved them for
the fortitude with which they had borne the op
pression heaped npon tbem. He had always
teen willing to give his life for bis people, and
now if any Yankee power wanted his blood to
atone for any action of the Southern people, they
could take it. On him the Government had done
its worst, and for himself he did not care,
but for the sake of the people whom he loved,
he would forbear to express more fully the
feelings of his heart. lie never had asked
pardon for what he had done, and he never
would, for he felt that he had done no wrong.
Mr. Davis concluded amid the applause of the
crowd, which had loudly cheered the salient
points of bis speech. As he retired the band
strnck up 'Dixie,' after which calls were made
for General Pettus and General Morgan, bnt no
response was accorded, and the crowd soon after
separated. Mr. Davis looks to be in fine health."
Commenting editorially npon these utterances
the I'rrtB fays:
"In bis brief speech in this city on Monday
night last Jefferson Davis reiterated his faith in
the doctrine of State sovereignty, and asserting
his beiiet in its ultimate triumpn. mis is the
firtt occasion of which we have any knowledge
that Mr. Davis has, in public, touched upon the
general political questions that agitate the
country. It must be that the recent election in
New Hampshire, the native State of his friend
Pierce, produced an unusual degree
of exultation in his mind. It may
be that the expectation ot a
Democratic success in the Presidential
contest of 1873 was strengthened and confirmed
into confidence, and he would no doubt consider
auoh victory a.a tha ultimate triumph of State
sovereignty. It is well that the people ail over
the country should know that so distinguished a
champion oi Mate sovereignty as jerterson
Davis has not given up hope of the ultimate
triumph of that cause. In its behalf great armies
have been raised, a gigantic war waged, bloody
battles fought, public debt has been plied moun
tain high, aDd widows and orphans created by
hundreds of thousands yet It did not succeed.
But now the chief who championed It, aud who
marshalled its forces, tells the people that he vet
has confidence in its ultimate triumph. We
commend these views to the consideration of
that iortion of the Northern press and people
which has been led to believe that the cause of
the Rebellion is a 'dead issue' in the minds of
leading men at the South."

The Oystermcu'e Association.
SjiteifU Despatch to the hvniiiuf leUurapk.
H ARKisBUHG, March 29. A committee of the
Oyetermen's Association of Philadelphia, con
sisting of Messrs. Joseph Brady and Thomas
Close, have been at Harrisburg since
yesterday, urging the passage of a reso
lution to protect oystermen of this State
who wish to operate in Delaware Bay. They
ateert that recently a law of New Jersey had
been put in force, which prohibits any persons
but residents of that State from dredging for
oysters within a certain distant of the Jersey
shore.
The law is so framed as absolutely to pre
vent any of our citizens from even obtaining a
license or procuring the services of any Jersey-
man. The result has been that nearly five hun
dred vessels are now idle at the Philadelphia
wharves, and as their crews average five men
each, upwards of twenty-five huudred men are
thrown out of employment. Messrs. Brady aud
Close have appeared before the Judiciary Com
mittee of the Senate, and have argued their case
with such ability and success that the Legisla
ture will undoubtedly pass the resolutions which
have already been presented.

An laaaraat Girl Kebb.d ef tier Freedaai
and Tamed Out to Die Tea Ceaia for a Ufe
tlme'a l.abar.
A New Castle (Del.) correspondent of the
Wilmington Commercial writes:
Last Thursday three weeks ago. a colored girl
calling herseif Lydia Pouse came to this place
in the afternoon up train from 8eaford. She
evidently bad consumption, and her feet were so
badly frozen that She was scarcely aoie to wait.
Tbey were laid open in great gashes, and swollen
twice her natural size; their nancu were in tae
same condition. She was an entire stranger in
tbe place, knowing no one. ine wire ot a
colored man, Samuel Craig, took pity on her,
and she was kindly cared for until this morning,
when she died.
Her statement was as follows: 1 bat she was
a slave, and did not know she was free until the
morning she came to New Cas'le. She belonged
to Mr. , a farmer, who owns aud lives oa
his farm, abont a mile and a half from Seaford,
Del., be having purcnasea ner ana a orotner
when they were children. She says be after
wards sola her Drotaer, ana sne never Knew
what became of him. She worked as a farm
baud, butked corn last fall, and this winter was
tent to the woods to cut timber, when her hands
and feet were frozen. Becoming so ill that she
was unable to work, Mr. told her that she
was free, and had belter go up tbe country and
get a home, put her in ms carriage, and took
her to the depot. Did not buy a ticket, but
paid tbe conductor two dollars and twenty-nve
cents, requesting him to leave her at New Cas
tle. Gave ber ten cent, requesting ber, "when
she got itetter, to come back and see tbem."
The C'onunercia, la publishing this statement,

Our correspondent furnishes ns the name of
tbe farmer In question, but we withhold it for
He preent, hoping that there may be some
room for doubting that such a wretch actually
dit-graces humanity.

There is a steady increase In the demand for
money, both for speculative and regular busi
ness parposes, and with a falling off In the
se r ply both at the banks and at the outside
sources, tales naturally rule firm. As yet, how
ever, we notice no special change In this r
l;?.ctw For 'eTeral days to come the demand
will bevery active, as usual the few days pre
ceding April, but the snrplus funds at tbe dis
posal of the banks will probably meet all con
tingencies. Call loans range from 5 to per
cent., according to the collaterals offered, but
there Is very little business doing under per
cent., even on Government bonds. Prime dis
counts range from 7 to 8 pe. cent., In the out
fide mat ket according to the dates and credit.
Gold Is less active and still weak, the sales
this morning varying from 110U0, closing
