Hayti-ns Present Political Condition.

The Island of Hayti is not so large in area
as Pennsylvania, and has but one-third as much
population as this State, yet it has two reyolu-
tlons on hand and one foreign war Half the
Island is Spanish and half negro The negro
half is so-called republic the President being
for life. The white half is a real republic, and
provisional government has been conducting
Its political affairs for the last few years, du-
ring the invasion by Spain. Spain does not
like republics, and she tried to squelch'' the
little Spanish republic, which had so often de-
ned her power, and established its indepen-
dence. She took advantage Of our rebellion,
to annex the Spanish half of the Island but
the experiment did not succeed, for the Domi-
means drove her out. The attempt under the
Spanish o DOnnell ministry is to be renewed,
after protestations from the Narvarez ministry,
lately in power, that Spain was no longer a
prOseiyte to the very common idea of extend
ing political empire by foreign conquest. In
the midst of this trouble comes popular revo-
luton, the chief towns rising against General
Pimentel, who has been in command of the
dominican troops, and pronouncng in favor Of
Cabral, whom they name Protector of the Re
public. CabraP manifesto announces " liber-
ty, equality, fraternity that he expects to Sc
cure unity and peace, desires cooperation, and
advises lfmentel for the sake of the Republic
to submit to its choice.
The negroes half of the island is in revolu-
ton also-it almost always is--Auctuatng be-
tween republicanism and absolute monarchy.
Geffrard, who overthrew Faustin the First and
re-proclaimed the republic, fixed himself in
power for life. There have been one or two
attempts to overthrow him, and on one Occa-
sion his life was attempted by assassination,
but his daughter was the victim Of the bullet
sent at his head. A rebellion is now in pro-
gress, and the rebels appear to be specially
inimical to the white residents demanding that
they shall have none of their usual privileges,
and threatening their lives. This revolution
is led by committee of ten chiefs, who have
sent a Commissioner to Washington to repre-.
sent their cause. When our Government re-
Gently acknowledged the independence, and
accepted Minister Plenipotentiary to repre-
sent the Haytien Government, it probably did
not expect so soon to have two claimants to
that honor. The representative Of the rebel
power, if truly represented in their enmity to
the whites, may find some difficulty in estab-
fishing their claim to be heard.
Hayti, which is so torn by civil dissension
and war is most beautiful and fertile island,
but its agriculture is in the most primitive
state It's commerce is valued at SO ZOO, 600.
Seventy five years ago it's exports were nearly
$2S, 900, 600. Sugar is no longer exported
The export of coffee has been reduced to one
third, and of cotton one-tenth Of its former ex-
port-Phila. Ledger.

MISCELLANEOUS
A Year Ago,

Precisely year ago to-day, the Democratic
Convention met at Chicago which, two days
later, nominated Major-Gen. George B. Nc
Clellan for the Presidency. The whole thing
caucus, convention, candidates-has been SO
utterly exploded, the scheme suffered such
ruinous overthrows at the polls, that already
we can consider its fate in the light of long
past history.
The convention made mistakes enough to
have killed good cause, and its own bad one
was accordingly swamped more speedily and
effectualy than its bitterest enemy had previ-
ously supposed it could be. Among these er-
rors, speaking from merely material point of
view, as a matter of ordinary tact and manage
ment, was its scheme of putting up war can
didate on a peace platform. 1t was mounting

An American Major General in the regular
army, in the midst of the full fervor Of deadly
war would be supposed to claim the suffrages
of his countrymen for deeds done, battles won,
glory gained. for the country cause. But
Mc1lellan's friends spiked his only gun by
nronouncing his own deeds a failure. They

The absurdity of trying to force through an
ultra neace platform, when little covering
of the cloven foot would have been infinitely
more successful, as well as more creditable to
the wire-pullers who manipulated the conven-
ton, is also strikingly apparent, now that we
look at the whole political campaign in retro
spect. Bat it is not entirely of these errors
er of the severity of the calamity which betell
the platform and party. They suffered Wa

destruction was total and remediless. 1t was

The mourners, having worn their weeds for

fection on some object not promising so speedy

I'm thinking Of thee in The twilight hour;
I'm weary. and lone and sad;
I'm thinking Of thee and the magic power
Of thy vOIce.-.'twould make me gad
But far away its sweetest strains
Float out on the zephyr air;

is bound, and laden with care.
I'm thinking Of thee as sit here alone,
And there's nothing to make me glad
I'm thinking of thee, and the days that are gone;
Canst thou wonder am sad
Those were halcyon days when you and
Sat by the pulling rIlI.
When you promised. love, with fearful eye,
To share my every i'll.
I'm thinking Of thee and the tears will fall,
As memory clings to the past;
Those hours of the song and lhe dance were all
Too bright and too happy to last.
As thus thinking cf thee, thy sway | own;
Thy picture press to my heart;
For cannot clasp thee as in days that are gone,
But we'll meet, love, and never more part.

gal for fun, for the luv yu bare her. for the Yir-

wife or for mother; court her as you wood

the wash-tub, and at the pianner; court her in
wife, the fault won be in the courtin.
