"Spain, justice, and morality" is the an
nounoed motto of the Captain General. Yet
execution and confscation are, as ever, CO.
ordinate branches of the Spanish Government.
1t is said that 1900 Cuban estates have been
confscated, but this number is much more than
can possibly be available for Spanish plumber.
Concerning executions there is less doubt.
Sixty rebels have been shot wholesale in Bara-
Goa, which, though small town, is an old
headquarters for frequent assassination.

Not often do we get hold of the truth in
Paraguayan news, and we are not soon to have
it wholesale. The reports of the assassination
of Count dEu, and of the surrounding Of
Lopez in the Cordillera, after his crossing of
the Upper Paraha, are not borne out by sub
sequent kilograms. 1t is probable that Lopez
is in the mountains, well intrenched, and with
five thousand men.

A Present from san Frunciscans.

From The San Francisco Alta Calif,rnia, Sept s.
Some six months since number of gentlemen
from various parts of the State, in no way affili-
ated with each other in political matters, deter
mined to make present, however Insignificant
in value, to President Grant, in recognition of
their estimation of his course as an honest and
upright man. For the accomplishment of this
result various committees were appointed in
the different counties. 1t was finally de.
cided that the present should take the shape
of a chair of state worthy of any sovereign
in the world. Acting upon this idea, the Com
mttee on Design and Purchase. after several con-
sultatons, left the matter almost entirely in the
hands of Mr.. n. p. Cole, of the firm of n. 2.
Cole & Co. The result has been that probably
the finest chair ever built in the civilized world
has just been completed The frame of the
chair, which is more than seven feet in height,
is constructed entirely of California laurel, and
and is most eXquisitey carved in excellent TASTE
The fronts OF the arms are supported by carved
heads of grizzlies. The back, which is alto
gether tao straight for the reputed habits of the
President, is supported by Corinthian columns,
on the top of which is globe supporting an
eagle. In the centre, and as u fore-piece, are
the nations shield, surrounded by wreath
and the national flags, all carved from the
same wood The back and seat are trimmed
with blue broead-cloth Of the finest quality.
There was nothing but the needles used In tne
81. .cls parts Of the work that was not strictly
of California manufacture. The matter OF
sending on to Washington this most extraordi-
nary work of California has been delayed thus
far by the Committee of Arrangements simply
from u wish to keep it back until all the new
appointments have been made, that 1t might not
seem in the least political affair. The chalr
considerable attention, will be on exhibition at
the Mechanics Fair for several days, and will
probably be forwarded to its destination in
about four weeks.

PoRT-AU-PRINOE, Sept. 9.-For the last few days
the greatest excitement has prevailed in this city,
owing to the fall of Gonaives and the arrival OF Gen.
CheValer and the brave fellows who, for 12 months
SO gallantly defended that town against the attacks
of the rebels besiegng 1t. Cheyalier-as may be in

and as, during this time, no vessels could possibly
enter the port while on the land the beseglng army
completely hemmed in the besieged, preventing con-
muncatlon with the country districts, the exhaus-
ton of his supplies left the Haytien General no alter
native but to surrender, the garrison not being

the French corvette DEstrees was in the port OF
Gonaives, and through the mediation OF the COM
mander OF that vessel the rebel chiefs consented to
allow Chevaer and his troops to evacuate the place
with the honors OF war, granting them six days
troops had embarked several small vessels, taking
with them their arms, baggage, ETC., Cheyaller and
his suite being received ON board the DEstrees.
Immediately upon his arrival here, Chevaier pro-
ceeded to the palace and demanded the instant re-
sgnation OF the Minister'S the ground that their
failure to afford him relief so as to enable him to
continue the defense OF Gonaives haded to the fall
OF that place. President Salnaye was away at Aux
