DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.

We learn from the New York Tribune that
General Cazneau, who was Commissioned by
the government to proceed 10 Dominica, and
effect treaty Of peace and commercewith that
Republic, has arrived at his place Of destination.
One Of the objects which the American govern.
ment appears TO have in view in the proposed
treaty, is to obtain the cession Of naval station
for its ships Of war in the Bay Of Samana--one
Of the finest harbors in America, whittier the
Columbia went to cast anchor after having
landed the Commissioner. The Commissioner is
said To be hurrying the formation Of the treaty,
in order that it may at once be acted on by
the Dominican Legislature, which is now in
session, and thus be all ready for ratification
by the American Senate when it meets in
December next.
1t will be remembered by our readers that
for some time past we have exhibited lively
interest in the welfare Of the Republic Of
Dominica. We have, in several articles, urged
the Importance Of recognition Of the indie.
pendence and nationality of Dominica by our
government, and we're much grati6ed at the
presentation to the Senate, by Judge Douglas,
of resolution looking to that result That
resolution will, no doubt engage the attention
Of the Senate during the next session. Should
General Cazneau succeed in making favora-

have appealed to Southern Wings to aban.
don. their Northern allies made their appeals
after those allies had shown the cloven foot
of Freesoilism. Nor did they appeal to them
to form sectional party even there. They ad-
vised them to connect themselves with that
great organization that abhors sectionalsm-
that stands upon the Constitution; the only
party that has a broad national basis-the De-
mocracy of the Union.
We have one question to ask. 1t is this
Does the Latelligencer think that the Southern
Wings are idiots, lunatics, or children, that il
insists on their continuing to cooperate with
the Northern Freesoil Wings, who are re-organ
izing for the AvowED PURPOSE OF EXCLUDING

Slavery m Rhode Island In 1876.

The following petition of General William
Barton was presented to the court of common
pleas in 1856. 1t is curious piece of history
touching slavery in the days of our ancestors,
and strongly contrasts with the sentiments now
entertained on that question. The examina-
ton Of the slave is not the least interesting Of
the proceedings:
"To the honorable the court Of general sessions
of the peace, to be holden at Providence, in
and for the county of Providence, on the
third Monday of June, A. D., 1886.
civilian Barton, of Providence, in the
county of Providence, esquire, humbly showeth
that his negro slave, named Holland, has be-
haved in the most villainous and unfaithfu
manner; that she hath stole from her master
and many Of the neighbors very frequently;
that there is scarce anything she can lay her
hands on but what she steals and secretes
That your petitioner hath used everv means in
his power of correcting this vieicus Inclination
and habits in the girl, but all in vain. He
therefore, humbly prays that your honors will
be pleased to order and permit that the said
Holland may be sold out of this State, and as
in duty bound will ever pray.

ExAMIYATIoY.-Th examination of Hol.
land, female negro slave, the property of Col.
William Bartsn, Of Providence, aged thirteen
years, charged with having at divers times
stolen sundry articles from her said master and
others, who saith: That about three months
ago, she went in the day time into the house of
the late Joseph Kinnicut, deceased and pro.
ceeded up stairs and stole calico frock, and
hid it in barn, and the next morning took out
and showed it, and declared she had found it
| there. Soon after she went early one morning
into Mr.. Jacob Whitman's kitchen and stole
pair Of plated buckles, wrapped them in piece
of paper, and dropped them in the street. That
after this she stole the silver chain Of her mas
ter's sword and gave it away; that she stole
money out Of Seth Barton's pocket, in the bed
room, and frequently stole many small articles
out of the house belonging to her mistress, and
yesterday she went into her mistress's chamber
and stole two calico dresses and hid them in a
barrel in the garnet, and fearing this would be
discovered, put them in chest in the evening.

BIZ idiotic and insane free-negroes in a popu-
lation OF 434, 495. Thus it appears that there
is only one insane slave in nine thousand six
hundred and fifteen, whilst there is one idiotic
or insane free-negro to every thirteen hun
dred and ninety-seven!
When considering this matter it should be
borne in mind that it is not the worst but the
best portion Of the slave population which has
been manumitted, and which has thus deterio-
rated. When the mistaken practice of emanc
patton prevailed in the South, no one gave free
dom to negro as reward for worthlessness
On the contrary the Southern master when
giving freedom only to portion Of his slaves
always selected those whom he esteemed fol
their fidelity and intelligence; and up to the
time of abolition interference, it was very Gus
tomary among Southern gentlemen who could
afford it, to manumit by their wills their body
servants with their families. These were the
| themselves and some provision was always
made for them. Besides, they and their de
scendants always claimed the assistance ant
protection of the kinsmen of him from whom
they received their freedom, and the claim was
always most readily admitted. But notwith
standing all these things the free negro popu
lation by process of rapid decay has almos
lost its capacity to increase. Truly the Negro
needs a master, for his organization is sucl
that his only safety is in slavery. In that con
diion ne is useful, contented and happy in any
other he is.worthless, vicious, and depraved.

Tnn yrneINIA sTATr CADETS.

We learn with pleasure that the corps Of
Cadets from the Virginia Military Institute at
Lexington, will pay visit 70 our city to-
morrow-and we feel assured that the authori-
ties will not fail to give hearty welcome to
those interesting young strangers. 1t may not
be without interest to our readers TO allude
briefly 10 the origin'of this school in Virginia.
The arsenal of the State, at Lexington, had
been for many years ustained, at public ex-
pense, by State guard, composed OF eighty
men-a system attended with much inconve
nience, and but little advantage. AT the sug
gestion of Col. Francis II. Smith, the present
able superintendent of the institute, the legisla
ture dispensed with the former system, and
established in its stead the present military
academy; thus securing a competent force a.
the arsenal, and at the same time educating
more than eighty of her young sons annually
not only in the principles and practice of mill
tary science, but in all the branches of a liberia
college education. The scheme has so fai
been eminently successful, and will be OF vas
Importance in supplying trained and disciplined
officers to the State, when demanded for active
service. It system worthy the attention O.
other States, and we believe has already beer
adopted in several of them.
The Cadets have been spending some time
in camp near the Fauquier White Sulphur
Springs, and on yesterday arrived at Alexan
dria. By the invitation of the city authorities
who chartered boat for the purpose, they
yesterday made a pious pilgrimage to Mount
Vernon. We understand that they will arrive
here to-day, and we ask for them, as worthy and
interesting guests, the hospitality Of the city.

From the Milwaukee News, August Goth.
A Great Fire.

II is our painful duty to record the most dis.
asterous conhagration that ever visited Mwau.
kee. About IL o'clock to-day fire was dis.
covered in the loft of Davis's stables, in the
rear Of the United States hotel.
The wind was blowing fresh from the south
east, and in few moments the whole row of
buildings from Davis's to the fremont House
was in flames. The wind then shifted to the
east, and in an incredible space Of time, the
United States hotel, and the whole block, ex.
tending from Huron to Michigan street. includ.
ing the whole square bounded by Main, Huron,
East Water and Michigan streets, was in flames.
The destruction Of this valuable property was
comparatively but the work Of a moment The
flames then extended across East Water street
to the west side, destroying all the buildings
from the corner Of Hudson street to Nazro's
hardware store.
AS far as we have been able 10 learn, the
losses, estimated variously from quarter of
million TO million Of dollars, are as follows:
The United States hotel property was pur.
chased by Cross Shepardson for $4,000.
The building is an entire loss. Button, the
proprietor, was insured as follows: $500 on
