LATER FROM IIATTI.
Hay1I and I.ome--"A Republican Pres-
tdeut--.Slloot1nE Of the Presidents
Daughter.

By the arrival Of the Brig Baltimore, Cap
tain Blythe, from Port au Prince, Sept. $, We
are in possession Of uayti files to the Sd
instant.
The Republican government has appointed
II. Pierre lambert 10 proceed on mission to
the Pope of Rome, to obtain from the Pontid
concordat to recognize on suitable basis the
church in Hayti. The R<ru< DE- Commerce.. in
noticing this fact, says:
at is always, through having had bad priests,
{with Of course 4 few honorable and rure eI-
ccptions,) thst Hayti Is to-day SO far behind
hand in civilization; that religion has been here
Of late in such u stnte Of decay, that ambition, /,
robbery, assassination, prostitution, drunken
ness, tetishism, have seized both soul and body
Of many Of our citizens; that the mere simple
virtues have become 50 rare !; that the Tear OF
taste for vice and bad passions; TINT the te,n-
pies. far from being pieces OF editicstion and
eanctlfcation, are become mere theatres, (sotks
de srfctaols) where lu1ury, the most unchecked
and the most immoral, sits enthruued, and
where God himself is every day tnsulted.
"Among the important duties that the late
revolution makes incumbent on the present
government, perhaps the most important Is to
restore the church to its real sp!endor, and to
give religion its true place in our civilization.
The fallen empire, which affected to honor, By
absurd {outrt} styles Of devotion, the worship
Of the Eternal, only in reality Instituted fetish
ism"
The same journal, in IN article descriptive Of
the presidential palace, says:
Each citizen has the right to enter. when he
wishes, into the National Palace. The Presi.
dent is accessible 10 ALL and there IS no need Of
official presentations one presents himself.
On reception days it Is not rare to see the poor

with frighuully tern garments--cone TO pre-
sent their respects to the President, who re-
ceiyes them with the same cordially that he
does senator or representative. Nevertheless
these uttra-repub1ican fam!liaritles do not take
place without intermission- Mondays, Tues
days and Wednesdays the doors Of the Presl-
dents house are open to ali, but the common
people do not abuse the privilege They ex-
clude themselves; for between the President
and the meanest subject there arc neither body
guards nor soidiers-there are not even ser
vants-for the affection Of the people is suftl.

This article was-pub1isbed On The sd. On the
erening Of the same day the daughter Of Pres
ideut Geftrard was shot dead while sitting in
her fathers chair inside the palace. The shot
came from the palace garden, and is supposed
to have been from IN assassin Who wished to
shoot the President. No Noparticuiars were known
1t the sailing of the Baltimore, but there was
great excitement at Port au Prince in eonse-
quenee.
