"As many of your merchant readers are
SO deeply interested in the welfare of
this Country, they will, | presume, be
glad 10 hear from an impartial observer
who Las been here most Of the time the
last four years, and watched closely the
character of the leading men first
through their unequal but successful
struggle with Spain; and then immedi-
ately after their patriotic and self-sacriic-
ing struggle against the usurpatlon of Mr..
BaeZ,-what encouragement they have
to hope for its future tranquility and
prosperity under lis present rulers. Mr..
Baez is prowling about the neighbour
ing islands, evidently with the design of
attempting, sooner or later, to get into
power again but as seven Fights of the
intelligent and influential men Of the
Country are bitterly and unreIentingIy
opposed 10 him, were it possible for him
to succeed again by another coup d6tat
there could be no peace until he was dri-
ven out. Although he has long ranked
as general in this country, and held a
ish Army during all the time his couniry-
men were fighting to regain their indie
pendence, he has never seen any military
service, and is anything but "A fighting
man, and would not venture himself to
land in the country and take up arms,
even though the chances of success were
much more favorable. He is lacking in
moral courage for any great or hazardous
enterprise, and his whole administrative
talent consisted in intriguing, deceiving
and mystifying ih which he is an adept,
, 1867-04-02

and he was y crupulous as 10 the means
employed 10 OBTAIN it when in power.
His chief hope and reliance, since he was
last deposed, has been in o notorious viii
lain, Pedro Guillermo, who effected his
election in November 1865, by overaw-
ing the national convention with his arm
ed mob, and constrained them to vote
him into the Presidency, when but five of
them were in his favor. Mr.. Baez re-
warded him by making him his military
chieftain. This Guillermo made his es-
cape 10 the French Consulate with Mr..
Baez on the 29th Of May and on the 9th
of June, when Mr.. Baez was allowed 10
embark, Guillermo disappeared mysterious
ly. II has since been ascertalned that
he Jumped into the river from the rear
of the Consulate and swan across. Since
then he has kept the province of Seyho in
continued connection by gathering small
bands of desperadocs, and carrying on "a
sort of guerrilla warfare against the de-
fenceleSs inhabitants. He was finally
taken, tried, condemned, and executed on
the 18th Instant with two of his head
men and this will be the death blow to
all the hopes of MIR. Baez. The eXpedi-
tion sent from CURACAO through the
agency Of Mr.. BacZ's brothers and partl-
znns in October, landed in that section
to cooperate with Guiller:no, but the
people rose en- mdSS6, and took them prl-
soneis before the authorities knew they
were in the country. These facts will
perhaps be sufficient 10 quiet all appre-
tensions as to the probabilities OF Mr.
Baez ever being in power again.
President Cabral, though moi much
known as a politician, is, nevertheless,
the most popular man in the country, and
deservedfy so. He did not adhere to the
act of annexation, but was one of The first
10 take up arms to regain the i~ndrpend-
cnce Of his country and during that pro-
tracted contest with Spain, was one of
the most efficient and successful generals.
Whatever errors he has committed have
been on the side of humanity. A more
unassuming, kind hearted and patriotic
man never ruled over any people. He did
not seek the Presidency, and | c~andidly
believe would rather some one else had
been chosen if he had not been persuaded
that there was no other man who could
reconcile all old party differences. His
character and disposition, and his expe-
rlence as Il leader, were necessary quail
f~cations to bring order out of chaos. and
restore confidence where it seemed al
most hopeless|y lost. No better proof of
his determination to administer the Gov.
eminent faithfully and with strict integri-
ty could be giventhan in the seleclion of
his constitutional advisers, and other chief
officers of the Government; who, like
him, have sacrificed nearly all they pos
sessed in their devotion to their country.
1t would indeed be a cruel fate if a Gov
eminent composed Of such men, and now
firmly established should not succeed.
They are now somewhat embarrassed in
their financial affairs !; resulting chiefly
from the corrupt and INSTRUMENTATION
of Mr.. Baez, and his reputation of the
Government paper, which carried upon
lis face a pledge TO receive it at the Gus
toms for what it represented. The first

DUrY OF TOWNSHIP AUDITORs.-1t
may not be generally known that general
Law of the Legislature, approved April II,
1866, requires the bounty accounts of every
district to be carefully audited by the Town
ship Auditors, and "prepare condensed
statement of the condition of these finances,
and publish the same, AZ the cost of the dis
trict for three successive weeks, in two pa
pers. 1t not only requires this duty to be
performed by the Township Auditors, but
imposes a penalty of fifty dollars upon each
Auditor who refuses TO comply, one-half of
which goes to the prosecutor, and the 9th
er half to the school fund of the district
1t provides, also that the Auditors shall no.
tify the School Directors or other parties
having the disbursement of the bounty
funds, to appear before them at sIch time
AS the Auditors shall fix. for the purpose of
enabling the auditors to close up the boun-
ty accounts OF the township for the fiscal
year

A NARROW EsCAPE.-Mr. Edgar Os-
terhout, of LaGrange, accompanied by Mr.
Jonathan Jenkins, in driving out of town
on Saturday evening last, met with a serI-
Gus and almost fatal accident. When near
the north end Of the covered bridge at Mar
cy's his horse became frightened and ran
away. In turning on to the bridge both
men were thrown violently from the wagon.
Mr. Osterhout over the perpendicular wing
wall of the abutment, at that point upwards
of twenty feet high, into the edge of the
creek. His fall is supposed to have been
somewhat checked by a small tree into the
branches of which he fell, otherwise instant
death would doubtless have resulted. AS
it was, he suffered very serious bodily inju-
ries--one or two of the ribs only being
broken, however. These injuries with the
shock received, and the chilling water into
which he fell and for sometime lay, made it
doubtful for several hours as to whether he
could be brought to consciousness and his
life saved. He is now said to be doing
well.
Mr.. Jenkins who was not thrown over the
wall, received but slight injuries. The
horses became detached from the wagon
and ran to LaGrange, distance of four or
five miles 1unkhamaocE Democrat.

The Coon TIME HAS COME--In look
ing over our files of New York city papers,
We observe that during the past few weeks
there has been panic in the Dry Goods
market. Over production, stimulated by high
prices, by many of the manufactures of cot
ton and woolen goods, has thrown on the
market large overstocks of goods The dull
ness of trade throughout both East and West,
has kept buyers from the cities, and the
result has been heavy failures in the Dry
Goods trade, consequently large quantities
of goods were offered at forced sales with but
few buyers The panic ensued, and prices
gave way to an extent hitherto unknown in
SO short period. We hail this not as an
harbenger of the good time coming" but
believe that the good time has come.
Those country merchants whose good for
tune it has been to lay in stock while this
panic existed, are enabled to dispose of their
goods at reasonable profit to themselves,
while selling them al much lower prices then
at any time since the breaking out Of the
Rebellion. We cannot but rejoice at this, ,as

GANToN. March 10. 1867

Mr GOODRICH. We had lecture on
Temperance here last evening, from Gen.
PATTON, Of ToWanda, to large audience,
in the church of the Disciples which was
a rare treat to ns. The versatility of the
Generals talents enables him to sway the
feelings of his audience in any direction he
chGoses-at one moment he excites them
to indignation then to pity and tears I;
and then. before their cheeks are dry, he
will have them convulsed in laughter. He
is certainly the best temperance reyivalist
we have had among us.
The meeting was opened by prayer, by
Elder MITCHELL; and, at the close of it,
the temperance pledge was circulated
among the ssGienee, and just one hundred
persons signed it. There was also num-
.beE u persons who signed an agreement to
form Lodge of Good Templars,
The General was offered pay for his time
and expenses, but, different from most lec-
turers, he refused to receive any. Wher-
ever intemperance prevails his services
should be secured.
Yours, respectfully,
