From San Domingo we learn that Cabral is
opposing Baez with four armies, which it is
saic will offer effective resistance. The lead
ers of two OF these armies, it is said, will make

bers sent out one of them to get something for
the party to drink, and during his absence the
other Waterman was overpOwered, and on tbs
return of the second he was served in the same
manner. Three other confederates of the rob.
pers were subsequently admitted, and while

PROPOSED CONSOLIDATION OF NAVY
YARDs.-Mr Lynch Ct this Congressional
district has again introduced resolutions look
ing to the removal of the Charlestown Navy
Yard to Kittery. This is a movement in
which citizens Of Maine, especially those liv.
ing in the Western part OF the State, have
great interest. The following is the text OF
the resolutions:
Whereas, The Secretary of the Navy in his
last annual report to Congress recommended
the removal OF navy yards from the midst OF
populous and growing cities, and

A FREE PASS GIVEN. The Belfast Jour
nal says that at receht meeting of the Di.
rectois OF the Belfast and Moosehead railroad
a letter ofan unusual kind, was laid before
the Board. 1t was from a minister of the Cos
pei, who proposed to hold semi monthly SER
vices in Brooks, and asking that pass over
the road from Durham be given him. After
due consideration, the following reply was
sent: BELFAST, Jan. %, 1871.
Dear Sir-Your favor of yesterday, asking
for free pass over the Belfast and Moosehead
Lake Railroad, is at hand. This company is
disposed to lend all possible aid toward the adj
vancement OF the gospel. 1t recognizes spe-
cGai'y the need of legenerating influences and
a chan@e OF heart in The field of your proposed
iaoors at Brooks, which town has repudiated

The Ellsworth American is engaged in an
earnest controversy with the Bangor Wing
on the question of the desirability of the
States loaning two million dollars for the pur-
pose OF building a railroad TO the Aroostook.
The American contends that the valley of the
st. John is the natural outlet O; the Aroos-
took region, and that it is far better to make
some proper effort to secure annexation than
to raise the money asked for. The position of
Maine is such, extending into foreign coun-
try that touches it on three sides, that it must
ultimately become part of the Dominion, if
the latter country is not annexed to the Uni
ted States.

PORTLAND.
An Axiravngaul and Umchr:s.ian Propo-

The abstract of the report of the commiss-
ION on the Jail system, sent to us by telegraph
Thursday, must have surprised our readers as
much as il did us. Hon. E. B. Smith of Saco,
Speaker of The House, is, we believe, the char
man OF this commission, and the report Is uh-
dcubtedly his. He has the reputation OF De
ing one ofthe very ablest lawyers in the STATE,
but how does it happen that he mas SO utterly
ignored the principles of law well settled for
immemoral ages and the established usases
ofhuman society, which are said to be based
upon the Bible itself? The only generally ac.
cepted theory of punishment is that it should
be vindictve. Instead of being remedial, it
has been used as method of absolutely az
gravating, inflaming and rendering chrcnc
cases OF incipent moral disease. The true
theory is that criminals are punished because
oil their i'll desert-on the principle that "it is
good enough for them" The correct idea
acted upon 'by our fathers" is that punish
ment should not only be strictly pun;tory, but
that it should be undiscriminating, having no
reference to the victims opportunities for
knowing good from evil, or to any other cir
cumstances that might seem to effect his just
moral responsibility.
But here comes this iconoclastic, irreyerapt
Smith, regardless alike of the traditions of our
fathers and of the Scriptures which state that
samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the
Lord in Gilgal," and proposes remorselessly to
overturn the present system. He would make
Jalls primarily place where moral diseases
are cured-a place where worthless men and
women, who are now only an annoyance and
an expense to society, may be restored to
moral vigor SO as to become useful members
OF the commonwealth. He would have in
structaon given to criminals as one of the SIM
piest and most certainly effective therapeutic
agents. He would have these schools graded
so that those most affected by moral contag-
ion may not infect others. Moreover, he
would have them made industrial Schools so
that the idle, ignorant and vicious persons en-
joying their advantages may be fitted for
life OF virtuous industry, when they once more
60 out into the world. We do not intend to
hold Mr. Smith strictly responsible for all
these doctrines precisely as we have stated
them, but we have endeavored not to msin-
terpret the spirit of his report. We think all
good men will join us in reprobating course
that would tend not only to make the criIn
nal classes hopeful, it not happy, but ultimate.
ly abolish them altogether.

Sons of President Grant. Adiutant-General
Townsend and the late Admiral Dahlgren are
implicated in the late hazing disturbances at
West Point If these young men were Eng
llsh princes or sons of peers, and were in an
English University, the whole affair would be
hushed up. But being only the offspring of
plain American sovereigns in official position
they will be treated as their conduct deserves.

any wonder that the same paper that has OPP

or on sex, should also oppose one founded on
wealth?
