AN EDITOR IN TRouBLE.-The managing
editor of one Of the New York sporting jour.
nails was arrested. a day or two since, and ta-
ken to the Fourteenth Ward Station House,
on the charge Of knocking down an old gen.
tleman and rcbbiug him Of his gold sPecta-
cles. The old genteman-a very respectable
old genteman-toll his story. He had been
knocked down and robbed of his spectacles.
The editor told his story. He had been about
town and drank; further he couldn't say.
"Why," said the Police Captain to the nc
cuser, ), now, that you have taken oil your
but, see your spectacles on your forehead"
God bless my soul" said the old gentlcman'
1 SO they are. 1t was my watch the villain
took" A search was made, aud the officer
discovered not only that the watch was in the
accuser's own pocket but that the accuser was
decidedly drunk. The editor was therefore
released, much to the qualification Of a large
circle of friends, who had been roaring with
laughter during the performance.

The spaniards in st. Domingo-.An E1.

The Spaniards in st. Domingo-.An Ex.
planation Of the Recent Movement.
James Redpath, of Boston, who has long
made study of the affairs Of the two govern
ments which divide the island, gives the FOL.
lowing explanation of the recent movement
of Spain towards St. Domingo, from which it
would appear that there is little danger Of
Spanish usurpation:
"Since the independence Of the Dominican
Republic two parties have divided and alter.
natey governed it, whose representative men
are Santana and Baez, as the words reunion
and independence indicate their respective
policies.
"Some years ago-what say now is drawn
from Haytien official sources-Santana bor-
rowed million of dolars from Spain. Fail
ing to repay it according to the terms of the
lonn, he offered to give mortgage on the Gus
tom houses Last summer, accordingly, a
band of Spaniarls, not more than eighty in
ALL arrived at st. Domingo, and the three
officials among them Immediately entered on
their duties as collectors at the ports. The
rest were mechanics. That is oil the "emi.
grafton" that has been sent to the Dominican
Republic by Spain.
"This policy of Santana furnished the ma,
terial for creating an effective union among
the opposition to his government "See! be
is selling the country to the whites" Even
as early as December, revolutionary circulars
and proclamations were in type in st. Domin,
60, and copy of the proofs know were
shown to distinguished ambassador at Paris
But this project was nipPed in the'bud and
Baez is still an exile. The intrigues of the
opposition continuing and increasing, Santana
has called for aid-frst in order to secure the
perpetuity of his own government, and Sec
ondly, to enable him to repay the loan.
"This, l venture to say, is the sum total OF
the whole hubbub that we hear from Havana
"There are various reasons why France
will never threaten Hay:i--among them
! these:
"she has recognized the independence Of
Hayti, and draws large revenue from Hayti
as her payment for recognizing that lndepen,
dence.
"She is bound by treaty to defend lay''
against all foreign attacks; and lastly
"She could not attack Hayti without hrs'
declaring war against England.
