IA YTI.
Another Version of the Ontrages.

The Boston Traveller has accounts from Hayti
which indicate. that the alleged atrocities in
Southern Hayti, by the opponents of salnave,
are either exaggerated or were committed in
retaliation for worse crimes by the adherents OF
Salnave. The correspondent says:-
Most of the statements from Hayti have been
written in the interest OF Salnave, who began
his career with military usuroation, and has
murdered and exlled many of the best and
purest citizens OF Hayt. The murder of General
Monies in prison at Cape Hayti, patriot much
beloved by the people, was followed up by acts
OF fearful atrocity, wherever he could reach his
political opponents. The seventies imputed to
General Dominguez at Aux Cages are doubtless
great, but are in the nature of retaliation for
the barbarites of salnave, and certainly
foreign to the character of General Do
minguez whose disposition to humanity and
kindness was always respected, and who would
be guilty of no severity which ne could possibly
avoid But he has courage to meet the neces~
sites OF his condition, and IS as brave and
generous as his great predecessor, Touss amt,
whose memory is yet fragrant and precious to
all the sons OF Hayti. Tne moral influence of
the United States Government has been bliudlY
given to Salnave, and it is natural for consuls
and commanders to reflect in their reports the
policy of the Government by whom they are
employed.

THE SCRAMBLE,
Jealousy Ofthe West About the New York
Office Seekers


From The Cincinnati Chronicle, March 28
OF the large crowd who swarm at the hotels
IN Washington march in solid column up aud
down Pennsylvania avenue. between the White
House aud the Capitol, and throng the corri-
dors, passages and vacant spaces of ali the public
buildings at the national metropolis the great
mass have their domlCile in the city or state OF
New York. If there is vacancy or prospect
vi vacancy-lt the death or the severe illness
of an incumbent Is reported; If anybody in
office is alleged to be tainted with Jonnsouism
or otherwise spotted for removal-New YORK
has just the man for the place. The greedy ex-
peCtant has MS piece OF chalk in his pocket,
ready to mark the door that promises to open
for an outsider.
The great Empire State had under the late
administration two Cabinet officers, auy number
OF bureau officers, over forty foreign missions
and consulshlps, aud hundreds in the depart
ments as well as all the patronage of the custom
house aud naval Office in New York city, really
OF national rather than local character. This
only served to sharpen the appetite. New York
aspirations now take far wider range. They
mount higher and ever higher. Excelsior is still
the cry.
Some idle individual, whom this rage and
swell, this roaring and clamor of the New York
tides have disturbed, has been turning over
the pages of the last Blue Book to see how
much more than its share of offices the hungry
State has already received and is now enjoying.
The result is rather startling one. OF the
three largest States III the Union, II is found
that New York has furnished 100 Federal ap.
pointees, now IN Office, Pennsylvania AGO, and
Ohio only 245. Aud yet it is only the other day
that one of these modest New Workers was
complaining how shockingly Ohio was getting
the start of all the States in official appoint
ments. Very curious, wasntlt?
Ohio has never falleu, since the Republican
party was organized, to give the Republican
Presidential candidates her electoral votes.
New York has no claim on this administration
by reason OF any such help. She has larger
population than Ohlo-say fifty per cent greater
and has three times as many Federal office
holders. Pennsylvania has about twice as many
as Ohio. Several States much smaller than
ours have nearly the same number of govern.
ment officials. This is seen in the unerring
records of the blue book. We think it Is high
time to curb the patriotic desires of these "Ex-
ceIsior" people, and at least to limit the roster
10 its present expanded condition. if contraction
cannot be successfully commenced.
Let US, at all events, hear no more of the out
cry about the Ohio monopoly of Government
offices until our State has at least half its just
quota. Artful New Workers can more proftably
spend their time than in this futile attempt to
divert attention from their own greediness.

FINANCE AND COMMERCE.

Monday, March 20 1869, 7


Financial affairs to-day were in a rather quiet
condition com pared with last week, though tue
demand tor loans was moderately active. The
indications are that the pressure anticipated
about the lst of April TO meet ma
turing obligations has already passed, and that
the market will in future return to gradual
condition OF ease and abundance. We
have as yet heard nothing OF the an
tcipated call upon the local banks for
report of affairs. Until this be done it
IL not to be expected that they can do much
| to relieve the outside market under the pres
sure now being made upon 1t for money. Money
IL rather tight, and not very accessible unless
applicants are fortified by very good security.
The rates are not so nominal as last week bat
aIe takingion more regularity. We quote cali
loans on GoVernment bonds al 7008 per cent,
and on other securities at 80L9 per cent. The
rates continue TO rule high on discounts, both
a the banks and on the streets, and very little
is being done IN this line at less than lO6l2 per
cent. ior hrst class names. The offerings were
limited to day.
Government securities again showed weak
ness and tendency 10 a fall in prices. The
goI1 premium was rather steady at 1919 at IL VI.
Inc STOCK market was moderately active, aud
prices, with the exception of Reading Railroad,
were hrm. III State loans there were sales of
me nrst series at l02 aud the second series at
l04s. City Us were quiet; 9S was bid for the
oiu ana lOOb Tor the new certificates. The Le-
hlgh COLO loan was steady at 904@90S. GOV
ernment bonds were quiet at decline OF
per cent.
Reading Railroad attracted but little atten-
ton, selling at 454, a decline; Philadelphla and
Erie Railroad was strong at 26B an advance OF

Lehlgh Valley Railroad at 56b; ana northern

Nothing was done in either Canal or Coal

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Despatches received
at the Navy Department from Rear Admiral
Rowan, commanding the Aslatc Squadron.
give an account of difficulty that occurred
between a British gunboat aad certain inhabi
tants of the Chinese village of Pulling. 1t
appears that the Britishers were about to land
az the village, when the villagers pelted them
with stones. The men then returned to their
ship and opened FIRE on the villagers, killing
eleven and wounding thirty. The inhabitants
returned the fire, wounding eleven of the Bri-
fishers, two mortally. When the news reached
Hong Kong the British Admiral despatched two
corvettes and two gunboats, with four hundred
seamen, to redress the outrage on the English
flag.
The President UnweII.
Several Senators and members were at the
White House at an early hour this morning,
with a view of seeing the President relative to
the Clvil.Tenure act and other matters. They
were informed, however, that the President mad
q severe cold which had settled in his face in the
shape of neuralgia, and he could not see any
ole. Senator Morton and others, who had gone
to talk over the Civil-Tenure act went away
evidently disappointed.
The Anticipated Adjournment of Con-
The House Committee on Appropriations has
authorized ITS chairman Mr.. Dawes, to report
Joint resolution providing for the adjourn
mcnt of Congress on the 9th OF April. That
committee having finished up its business,
there is now really no work of urgent import
ance before Congress except the Civil Tenure
bill, and it is thought that it can be disposed of
in a few days.
Soldiers Claims.
The committee have also agreed on the fol-
lowing:-
That accounting officers OF the Treasury and
the Pay Department charged with the settle
ment and payment of bounties due 10 soldiers
or their heirs be aud they are hereby directed
to pay or cause to be paid the sums found due
to soldiers or their heirs in person, and not to
any claim agent, or upon any power of attorney
whatever
VIII the Senate Recede?
There is a good deal of talk this morning
about the Senate receding from its position on
the Civil Tenure bill. No general caucus has
been held, but the morning was spent in quiet
consultations among the Senators, comparing
views, and marking out the course of action to
be pursued. Nobody seems to know yet what
will be done.
The Pay OF the Army.
The Senate Military Committee has authorized
Senator Wilson to report Joint resolution ex>
tending the present pay of the army for ten
months from the lst of June next.

Retren and REFORM.

Washington specials TO the N. Y. Tribune
contain the tollowing:-
The policy of retenchment and economy of
the new administration has been begun with
vigor, and all the departments are cutting do wn
their expenses rapidly. Secretary Boutwell, is
taking the lead, and he has already accomplished
much towards saving the peoples money. He
begins by reduction of the clerical force in his
own immediate office. He announces that no
new appointments whatever will be made, aud
that the places of the persons whom he has re-
n owed, and whom he intends to remove, will not
only by the economical policy which has been
decided upon, but on account of the reduced ap-
piopriations for the present fiscal year. In Inc
Printing Bureau about 20 female and Is male
employees have been notified that their services
will not be required after the first of April.
This reduction alone involves a saving of about
$1,000 month. large reduction will also be
made in each of the six Auditors offices, the
work having largely fallen off. More employees
were retained by Secretary McCuloch than
were necessary to do the current labor. In the
Third Auditors office 800 clerks are at present
employed, while the law allows but 273.
Auditor Clarke is already looking about MIN
aud will soou make a large reduction. The
Government Printing Office is also being I'M
proved by the retrenchment fever. Seventy
females employed therein were discharged yes
t,rday. The Post Office and Interior Depart
men,s are following suit. The administration,
whatever else it accomplishes or tails to accom-
pish, bids fair TO redeem all its promises in the
way OF reform, retrenchment, and economy.
