From Hayti.

Salnave has fallen. The reYolutionists
attacked his last remaining stronghold,
Port-an-Prince. on the night of Dec Is,
drove in his piczets and captured the city
without drop of blood being shed. Sal
nave fed to fort near the CITY, ana was
supposed to be in great peril if the foreign
consuls should not interfere to secure his
safety. This ends the Haytien revolution.
Salnave Yas condemned to death by court
martial, but escaped to st. Domingo, head
ed a rebellion against Geffrard, and form
ed provisional government May 9, 1865,
The insurrection was, after several severe
struggles, suppressed IN November of that
year. Salnave renewed the attempt, and
succeeded in obtaining supreme power in
June, 1867, Gefrard having fed the cOun-
try. A revolt against the new Dictator
broke out in 1868, and has continued un-
til the present time About two months
ago General Oheyalier the ablest of Sal
naves generals. deserted his cause, and
since then he has been cooped up in Port
au-Prinoe. His reign has covered two
years and six months,

NO NEGRO SUFFRAGE IN THE EN-
PIRE STATE.

Last week the New York Legislature,
by a vote in Senate of yeas l6, nays Is, and
in House of 65 to Sc, ressinded the joint
resolution of the previous session giving
the assent of the State to the Negro Suf-
frage Amendment to the Federal Constitu.
ton.
At the late election in that State, the
negro suffrage amendment to the State
Constitution, was voted down by a large
majority-just as it was in Ohio fouryears
since. Ohio, then, by her Legislature, re-
fused its assent to the proposed change in
the Federal Constitution, to admit the
Negro race as political partners. The New
York Legislature, then governed by Rad
icals, gave the assent of the State to the
proposed change. Since then, on the ques-
ton being presented to the people at the
polls, the Empire State gave a verdict
against it, and her Legislature has made
that verdict good by resembling the action
of the Negro Suffrage Radicals on the XIV
Amendment.
In Ohio, the Radical leaders in our Leg,
islature are attempting to reverse and t.
render nugatory the verdict of over 50OOC
majority against the right of the darkey tC
vote.

THE salaries of Goverrment officers in
the little State of Florida are large- than
in any other State east ofthe Rocky Meun-
tains. The Governor gets 5000; his
Cabinet, in all, $4,000. and each member
of the Legislature $500 per annum, or. al
lowed forty daysto the session, twelve dol
lars and fifty cents per day
The officers are all of the carpet-bag per

salaries are given that the Radical carpet

SENATOR ROSs'S IMPEACHMENT
VOTE.

Senator Ross has addressed letter to
Cornelius Wendell, asking gwhetherhereally
used the language ascribed to him by the
New York Sun, implying that four Sena-
tors were influenced by money in their
votes on impeachment. and whether he
(Wendell) had any reason to suppose mon
ey was offered or paid to him (Ross) or to
any other person, with the understanding
that his vote could be thus Influenced.
Mr. Wendell replies that he did not use
the words thus put in his mouth, and that
he has no reason whatever to believe that
any one received any money with the un-
derstanding that it was to be used to in
huence his vote. Mr.. Wendell says, how
ever5in his reply that Perry Fuller was
Offered several thousand dollars with the
expectation that he could influence Ross
vote, but that Fuller declined to receive it
on the ground that nothing could be ac-
complished with Ross in that way.

PoPPNe AND Popping OUr.

Georgia, like the other southern states
has been one of the foot balls of Radical
power-only little more so. "Order
reigns at Warsaw" when the Grand Dukes
viii it so, and when they desire otherwise,
order don't reign" there, For instance,
the report of Mr.. Dawes, from the Com
mittee on Elections, in June, 1868 in the
House of Representatives, on the question
Of the admission of ]. W. Cliff and C. H.
Prince as members of Congress from Geor-
gia, to this purport THAT the State hay
ing ratified the Fourteenth Amendment,
and in all other respects having oonformed
to the requirements of ths law in regard to
her admission, that they be admitted TO
their seats"
This, with the late action, shows the pro-
gressiveness of the radical party. They
can drag STATEN through the Negro high
way or kick it out when they find it has
not sufficient negro wool to please Sumner,
Grant & Co. In all this they are governed
by neither the Constitution nor the laws.
Are they not a revolutionary party?

NIoRE NEGRO TERRITORY.
Annexation of san DOmingO-Text of
Treaty.

Treaty
WASHINGTON, January 9.-The treaty
for the annexation of San Domingo to the
United States, was negotiated by Presi-
dent Baez, and our commercial agent, Mr.
Perry, at the city of San Domingo. This
treaty, with the secret message of the Pres
ident of the United States, viii be sent to
the Senate on monday. Of the truth of
this statement, there is no doubt. The
governing motive for the acquisition OF
San Domingo is its geographical position
to this country as means of national de-
fense, as well as its general marat;me ad-
vantages, and hence, as preliminary, the
lease of Samana was effected, and the
Jurisdiction of the United States, estab-
lished over that part of the territory OF
treaty cannot now be publcally made
known, there is no doubt that it contains
the following propositions, viz:
First. The United States stipulate to
pay the sum of 81 100000.
Second, This money is to be devoted to
the liquidation ofall the obligations of the
Republic of San Domingo, Including the
redemption of Its currency, which is re-
presented to be of comparatively small
amount. -
Third. In case the obligations to be as
sumed by the United States shall exceed
the before mentioned sum of 81 100000,
the publiclands of San Domingo are pledg-
ed as security for the excess.
Fourth. The liquidation of obligations
is to be entrusted to commissioners, who
are to be appointed by each of the con-
tracing parties.
Fifth, In consideration of the discharge
of these obligations, San Domingo cedes
to the United States all forts, docks, Gus
tom houses and all other public buildings,
arsenals, etc, and complete Jurisdiction
over the territory.
Sixth. San Domingo to be annexed or
acquired as territory, and not as a State
and subject to the legislation of Congress
in the same manner as territories of the
United States,
Seventh. The treaty to be valid to all
interest and purposes when ratified by the
Senate of United States, and confirmed
by vote of the majority of the citizens of
San Domingo.

Colfax, and the absence of those qualities
which belongs to the highest order ofstates-
manship, all must confess that he Is every
