From the State House.

Boston, Saturday, April l 1871.
The legislature has recovered partially from
the terrible shoct it experienced, yesterday, on
learning that the state constables had gone with
numerous job teams TO the doors of two OF the
most respected liquor dealers in the city, and
carried off and. confiscated, in the name of the
state, thousands of dollars worth of choice but
prohibited intoXicants. The Judiciary commit.
tee is expected to embody the sentiment of the
legislature in an order for the instruction of the
high constable, who has apparently forgotten
that the public sentiment, while strongly for the
law, is equally strong against its execution.
The proposition TO re-enact the old prohibitory
liquor law occupied the attention of the house.
There was considerable irregular and personal
discussion, and Mr.. Tarbox offered as another
amendment to substitute a license bill, the one
before introduced by him, with an amendment
providing that no open bars shall be allowed at
which liquors shall be sold to be drank on the
premises. This will be voted on when the
other amendments are acted upon, on Tuesday.
Gov. Clafiin sent a communication to the SEN
ate transmitting a copy of the recommendations
of Edward S. Philbrick, consulting engineer,
upon the building of a railroad at North Adj
ans from the portal of the Hoosac tunnel to the
town. Mr.. Phlorick states that the amount of
work to be done on these two miles of road is
quite large, including much rock cutting, and
cannot economically be accomplished in less
than two years, and more time would secure
better prices. There are heavy embellishments to
be built which ought to be finished year before
they are used, in order to become properly set
tied. Nothing has been done towards settling
land damages except to file location. The
value Of lands in the vicinity of the village is
rapidly advancing in the market, and as the
landholders had not been notified of the land to
be taken, the appraisal will be dependent on the
state of the market when appraisalis made, The
whole cost of the road is estimated at S125, 900,
inclusive of land damages, but with halt the sum
the right of way might be secured, and the work
be put in condition to be finished economi-
caly.
An attempt was made in the house to get a
vote on the bill TO authorize the Massachusetts
Central railroad company to extend its railroad
but it was defeated. The bill fixing the COM
pensation of members of the legislature at $3.50
each for the session was ordered to be engrossed,
after an amendment to substitute 5000 for $3.50
had been rejected. Bills were passed to be en-
crossed; To reduce the capital stock of the East
Boston dry dock company; TO protect the ale
wife fishery in the town Of Sandwich; to incor-
porate the Pilgrim Congregational. church in
Cambridge; to establish the police court of Hol-
yoke; and to change the time of holding the
term of the supreme judicial court of the county
of Suffolk

We were over day going from Puerto Plata TO
SANTANA. The coast between those two places
is entrancingly beautiful SANTANA bay is thirty
miles long and twelve wide. we steamed along
quite near to the shore so that could often dis
tinguish the different trees. ! noticed patches
of cocoo-nut trees, growing in many places to
the waters edge; this occurred whenever there
was strip of sandy beach. The inner bay is
shut in from the larger outer bay by an island
which occupies nearly half the entrance. Thus
the smaller bay is always as smooth as a mill
pond. The town at SANTANA is called Santa
Barbara, it is a small insignificant place, shut
in by hills and the bay All its surroundings
are wonderfully beautiful. The calm sea at its
feet, the green hills which bound it on three
sides and which are covered with the most lux
uriant tropical vegetation. One can see the
white stems of the palmetto tree rcOwned with
its long pumy foliage growing up the sides Of
the hills to their very submits.
The United States man-of-war Congress was
at anchor in the bay, and, as at Puerto Plata,
many of the officers came aboard our steamer.
The Tybee went up to the dock, and was held
fast by cables so we had no difficulty in going
ashore. This dock was built by Spoford
Brothers OF New York, as their warehouse is
close at hand; the town of Santa Barbara is
about mile more or less around the bay.
We bought some oranges, the most delicious
ones ever eat. We got also huge green cocoa
nut, which held bowl full of clear, cool water.
AS this water thickens and becomes hard it also
turns milky, but when green it is nearly as clear
as crystal, and is always cool. We left SANTANA
in the afternoon, and did not reach
Santo Domingo city till after dark the
next day, too late TO enter the city. So
we lay at anchor all night, and came up to the
city early in the morning. 1t is wonderful
old town, and need to rest after my long voy.
age, and look about me more before | can do it
any sort of justice. l have been presented to
President Baez, and to his brother Damien, who
is the governor Of Santo Domingo city. They
are both educated gentlemen, of cultivated and
refined manners. The governor has most kindly
put his saddle-horses at my disposal, whenever
choose TO ride; courtesy of which mean to
avail myself at the earliest opportunity. We
are in the midst of midsummer weather, enjoy,
ing delicious fruits and vegetables and cxquis
lite howers-roses are now in their prime. BY
the next steamer shall be rested and somewhat
acclimated; | hope then to introduce to the
readers of the SPY President Baez and his
brothers, and also to describe to them this old,
old town of Santo Domingo and its envirOns.

THE NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW, for April
has two articles on the Erie buccaneers and theil
attorneys, both elaborate and just. One of them
reviews the correspondence between Mr.. Sam
uel Bowles and Mr. David Dudley Field, MIR.
Bowles did a good work when he drew Mr. Field
into that correspondence for it has melted otli-
ers to criticise Fis's principal lawyer who aims 10

Barlow and others have exposed his conduct, IN a
very unanswerabIe way, but not much TO his sat
isfaction. Now two writers in the North Ameri-
can have taken up the subject and criticised MIR.
Field in a similar strain. Fisk and his associates
seem wholly indifferent to public opinion; and
their Judge Barnard has appeared to resemble
them in this respect. Mr. Field is more sens-
tive, and, therefore, more likely to change his
conduct in regard to their affairs. He ought to
be ashamed of his connection with them.
Doubtless, it has paid him a fortune; but this
can not excuse him; and, aside from regard for
his own reputation, he should be able to cherish
proper feeling relative TO the Fisk buccaneer-

THE ELECTION IN CONNECTICUT of state
officers aud members of congress takes place to-
day. The republican candidate for governor is
Ex-Governor Jewell, and the democrats have
reuominated Governor English, who now holds
the Office For congress in the first, second and
third districts, the republicans have renominated
the members of the last house, Messrs. Strong,
Kellogg and Starkweather, and in the fourth
district MIR. George Coffing, a wealthy manufac-
turer of Salisbury, who is said to be gentle
man Of high character and excellent ability.
The democratic candidates are Goodrich, Ken
drick and Steadman for the first three districts,
and w. H. Barnum, who was member of the
forty.frst congress, for the fourth. The
state is always closely contested, and cir
cumstanees this year give an animation to the
canvass unwonted even in that state of sharp
political campaigning. The detection of New
Hampshire, after so many years OF fidelity TO
the republican party, has gwen increased conf
dence to the democrats, while it has stimulated
the republicans to unparalleled efforts. 1t is
safe to predict that there is no voter who has
not been reached by the prevailing excitement,
and few who will not express their opinion by
their votes. A fine day, of which there is excel.
lent promise, as we write, is additionally favor
able for the republicans, and we are not without
strong hope that the state may be carried fol
Governor Jewell, and that three at least of the
republican candidates may be elected. One GER
tainly will he, Mr.. Starkweather, from the third
district who was a useful member of the forty.

Whether it is true or not that, as is confidently
asserted by the Hartford Courant, the demo-
Gratis trust to large contributions of money from
Tweed and the Tammanny ring of New York,
and whether the telegram said to have been
sent by Governor English to Tweed was a forg-
cry or not, it appears clearly from English
own admissions that he has been in close cor.
respondence with Tweed about the election, and
has asked and received all the aid the expert.
enced Tammany leaders could give in advice
if not in money. From their well known
tactics, and what we know has been done
and attempted at previous Connecticut elections
in the way of importing repeaters from New
York, there is no doubt that there will be plenty
of hard-headed fellows, skilled in voting early
and often, hanging about the polls in New
Haven and the towns along the railroad between
that city and New York. In spite of these dis
advantages, we hope to be able to announce to-
morrow the election of Governor Jewell and
three, perhaps four, republican congressman.

Somebody writes paragraphs for the Boston
Traveller, who can't understand the difference
between having the national executive go into
the states as achief of police, and having it I'M
dertake the duty of suppressing dominant con-
spiracies against the fundamental rights OF clti-
zens. The difference is great, and 1t IS very
plain; but this paragraphist of the Traveller has
never observed it and seems quite UNCONSCIOUS
of it. This may be due to the fact that his study
of the national constitution has not yet begun
in earnest; for he is, manifestly very green
hand" at the business of discussing questions of
this kind When he shall find himself in con-
dition to suspect difference between police SER
vice in state, and the work of the national gov
eminent in suppressing organized and domi-
nant conspiracies against rights guaranteed by
the constitution, he may begin to have less adj
miration for the bill introduced by Gen. Butler.
We should rejoice to see that he is capable of
so much improvement as this.
