D-Advices from Hayti are to the 10th ult
The republic appears to be making rapid ad-
vances in material prosperity. The mines and
forests are to be explored, new college estab-
lished at Port au Prince, lyceum at Jacmel, a
theatre erected, emigration of blacks from the
United States encouraged, and insurance and
lottery enterprises organized. President Geffrard
had made tour Of the northern parts Of the isl
and, and was everywhere received with enthusi-
asm. A correspondent at Port Prince says
"The changing of this empire into a republic has
materially benefited the country, and the people
evnce the greatest satisfaction at the downfall Of
the infamous SolOuque and his peradious Minis
tiers. A wholesome imitation Of the American
forms Of law is being introduced, which take ad-
mirably well, and will ripen into perfection very
soon. Coffee and logwood are coming to market
in fair supply, and large amount Of both still
remain in the interior. Trade is improving, and
would at this time be very brisk Were it not for
the health Of the port, which is very destructive

The C0MMTssI0NBRsHIP OF THE GENERAL LAND
OFFIcE.-We have every reason TO believe that
the President has rendered this position, made
vacant by the recent resignation Of Mr.. Hen
bricks. to Judge Hughes, of Indiana, a member
OF the last House Of Representatives, who, 1t will
be remembered. not long since declined a sim
liar tender of the Commissionership of Patents
While IL is very certain that no better appoint
ment to the head Of the General Land Office
could be made, the chances are ten to one that
Judge Hughes will decline the offer He left
w ashington at the close of the last session Of
Congress determined to remain at home In the
practice Of his profession, In which he Is without
superior in Indiana. Though comparatively a
very young man, no other gentleman has ever
made more substantial reputation by two years
service in the Congress of the United States-a rep
utation that must greatly enlarge and strengthen
his influence at home, where the active labors OF
such gentlemen are Of far value to the cause
OF the Democratic party than they could possibly
be elsewhere. We therefore rejoice that his tastes
do not lead him to accept bureau i'm Washing
ton The day will come when Judge Hughes Of
Indiana, will occupy a large space In the eve Of
the American public-but the advent of that day
is by no means to be FASTENED by his holding the
commissionership of bureau In the Federal Me-
uoPolis. The Presidents compliment to him in
volved in the tender was well deserved, and his
steady refusal to hold office here Is an additional
proof Of that fact.

WARRINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.

The Two THIRDS RuLEs-Newspaper parsisans
of Mr.. Stephen A. Douglas are busily engaged In
efforts to prepare the Northern (Democratc) PoPu-
lar mind for an attempt to ignore the two-thirds
rule in the approaching Charleston Convention.
The fidelity with which that rule has been Id
hered 10 in Democratic National Conventions has
secured victory after victory to the party, when,
had the convento ns been less wise and persistent
in that matter, defeat would surely have been the
party's portion. 1t has never yet prevented the
nomination Of any man who could have been
elected by the party to the Presidency, and 10 the
rule Of Democratic national conventions because
in it exists surety against the nomination of any
one who having numerous adherens among the
politicians OF the party, is still so deficient in
strength with the people, from whom the votes
required to elect are to come, as to make It
probable that with him, whoever he may be, as a
candidate, defeat will be the result.
Never was the wisdom Of its observance more
manifest than in the case Of Mr.. Stephen Arnold
Douglas. There is hardly disappointed Demo-
cratic ofice-seeker removed Democratic Office
holder, notorious Democratic Congressional lot +.
oeyite, or Democratic plunder-monger in the
land, who is not now engaged in seeking to make
the country believe that he is far stronger than any
one else for the Charleston nomination. Yet il Is
equally notorious that no other aspirant for that
nomination is positively weak in the States each
and every one Of them, from which the Demo-
cratic electoral votes must come next year-so
weak as that he cannot possibly receive the vote
of the delegation Of single such State. Yet his
strikers" Of all degrees are aiding in his work Of
screwing delegates from States that are hopeless
for the Democracy, up to the point Of voting to
peal the two-thirds rule, and making the nomina.
ton by majority vote, not embracing that Of the
delegation Of single State certain to vote the
Democratic ticket! These plain facts, we take it,
are sufficient to show the utter folly Of the idea
that Mr.. Douglas and his partisans can succeed in
their ant-.wo-thirds-rule scheme. As matters
now stand, no Democratic nomination could Sc
cure for him a single State in the election; and
with the twothirds rule abolished to force him on
the South, he could not possibly carry a single
precinct In any slaveholding State.
