opinions expressed in accordance with these con-
victions are now being re-echoed by the civil
lized world, and by no party more strenuously
than by the European republicans themselves.
Public sentiment in this country is therefore.
as we have shown, more to be relied on for
correct and impartial judgment on European
affairs than is the aggregate of opinion abroad
1t is unfettered by local interests and prejudices,
aflinihes Of political systems. 1t has no more
sympathy for constitutional governments when
their course is unjust than it has for despotisms
under the same circumstances Republics and
monarchies are alike to 1t in the consideration

How TO GET CRY INsPECToR.-A cores
pondent begs us to inform the Mayor and Mr..
Delavan that there would be no difficulty in get
ting the Board of Aldermen to confirm the latter
if they understood the game Of chess, and the
proper moves necessary to accomplish the object.
Let them deposit six thousand dollars in one of
the banks in this city, to be expended somewhere
around the City Hall, and make proper pro-
vision for the distribution of the patronage
among the supporters of the honest Aldermen,
and there will be no more difficulty in obtaining
suitable City Inspector. We are utterly
astonished that Mr.. Tiemann and Mr.. Delavan
do not understand how to play the game Of chess
better. They have been long enough in Tam
many to have learned every advantageous move
MoRpHY FOR PREsIDEsT.-We we're not aware
of the importance of the dinner to Paul Morphy
the chess player, by the Boston philosophers the
other day, or we might have treated it more
gravely. We hasten to say now, on the authority
of a heavy Boston daily, one that never makes
jokes, that the affair had political aspects" and
that it was really a sort of eating and drinking
black republican nomination for the Presidency
Morphy for President! Well, why not? And
if so, why not George Downing, colored, for
the second place on the ticket. Happy con-
junction! New Orleans and Newport. Chess
and oysters Bismillah 1t is good.

The Resolution in Hayti.

The recent revolution in IIayti, which has
resulted III the triumph Of the Republicans and
the expulsion Of the Emperor Solouquc, does
not furnish any ground for snnguinc hope as to
the new republic. IIayti has once before been
a republic but its past history exhibits con-
slant decline in population, in tr 10 and COM
merce, and all the elements Of c,v.Ization.
Under the new order of things in Inyti
there may he II chance for the people to prove
whether they capable of redceming their
country under aropuIar form of government
There may he wisdom enough among them to
consolidate the two republics Of Dominica and
llayti under one head. and. by adopting u pru-
dent and peaceful policy, restore to the island
its commerce and it's prosperity. But we con-
fess that we do not expect to see such a resu It,
On the contrary, we incline to the opinion that
the Geffrard cmcntc is but the beginning of a
long spell Of disorder and bloodshc1, and that
the negro republic will afford no better exam
pie of good government than the negro empire
whose pillars have ust been pulled down. The
negro Is an initiative animal, and we should
not he surprised to see the course Of GcirrarI
followed by half dozen others, until. like
Mexico thore shall be host of leaders, each

unfortunate country into shrcdS.
Besides, the h"stIlity which has always cxis-
ted between the dominican republic o,, the cas-
tern side Of the island, whose population is
composed Ut the remnant Of Spanish dominion
inter'hiNcd here and there with the negro race
and the empire of l1ayti. has not suisid ID Will,

The Revision of the Tariff

1t is not probable that any change will be
