Remarkable Statement from Sec
rotary Fish.

The State Department has just issued
a volume on Commercial relations.
The article on San Domingo occupies a
page and half The following por-
ton is considered a rather remarkable
statement to be Endorsed by Secretary
Fish Coffee is grown on the northern
side; the production is scarcely sutfi-
Gent for the consumption of the coun-
try, and it has recently been imported
from St. Thomas and Curacao. The
retail price is twenty-five cents in gold.
Cotton and cocoa are raised in insig-
nificant quantities. There are no pro-
ductioRs from the mines in San Do
mingo. The exaggerated accounts pub
lished in the United States are gotten
up by adventures who have obtained
concessions for nothing, and expect to
realize profits from the credulity Of
their fellow citizens. There is no ques'
ton that there are indications Of copper
and gold, as these metals have been
found in small quantities, but it is ex-
ceedingly doubtful whether enterprises
in search Of these hidden treasures
would bs profitable. As warning to
such as may be tempted to embark cap
ital in Dominican mining enterprises,
it is proper to state that Mr.. Heneker,
an English gentleman who resided in
this country more than thirty years,
was constantly engaged in visiting all
parts OF this island. lie was member
of the Geological Society Of London,
and employed scientific engineers and
Cornish miners, but it proved to be la
Dor 1ost. He died about FIVE years ago,
impoverished and disappointed. The
wealth of this country consists in its
various cabinet, liguum vitae and dye
woods, and the fertility of its soil, which
is capable of producing all tropical
plants in abundance; but it languishes
in consequence Of its constant revolu-
tionary state, and because it has but a
small and ignorant population, Efforts
have been made at times to introduce
white i'm migration, but unsuccessfully.
Nearly all emigrants from Europe and
the United States fell victims to the
climate in very short time after their
arrival. This fact is repeatedly record
ed in the archives of the Consulate.

friends and the opponents Oh TIC i'e''"ie
haze urged their respective views and
The disposition that has been manifested
on on zach side to "readIthe other out OF
the party" Such contests inure only
to the advantage Of the common foe
and it behooves the friends Of constitu-
,ional liberty tar more to take advan-
tage of the discussions Of Radlcalism
than to weaken their own ranks by d.
vision. So far as our own influence
goes, we have therefore thought it best
to counsel each Of our Democratic read
ers to think and vote upon the
FLICK amendment as his own
Judgment may incline him. our
readers are all familiar with.
the terms of the proposed amendment
and With the arguments that have been
adduced pro and con in relation to it.
Letieach man vote as he thinks best,
feeling assured that whether his ballot
be cast for ratification or for rejection,
his vote win be in accordance
with the views Of many dlstln-
guished members Of the Democratic
party IN this State.
There is one. thing. however, which
should not be lost sight Of by the
voters. The Legislature has given us
liberal election law which prevents the
challenging of persons offering TO
vote, on account OF former disloyalty,
unless ample proof be furnished that
the person SO offeringte vote did partl-
cipate in the late rebellion. The lar
recognizes the DISTINGUISHING amendment Of
1866 as a part Of the constitution Of the
State, but only provides that no one
shall be excluded from the polls on that
account until his effense has been clear
" proven. To those friends of en-
reimbursement. who regard the amend
ment Of 1866 as, valid, the Legislature
presents the ratification OF the FLICK
amendment as the only means of imne,
diate Ireliet To- such persons, the
fact that our people are soon to be
called upon to vote for or against q
Convention to revise the Constitution Of
the State, and that it is Of the utmost i'm
portance that all should feel at liberty
to vote upon that question, will afford
strong reason for securing the enfran-
cbisement Of the Confederates at once,
no matter how Objectionable in itself
NAV be the only means which the Legls-
lature has left available to that end.
The chief objection to the adoption of
the FLICK amendment is the fact that it
strikes the word white" from the list OF
qualifications of voters 1t will be en-
tirely competent ior the ooh'ehlioh'
however, to restore that word, and, as
far as the Constitution of West Virginia
is concerned, limit the suffrage to white
men. In the meantime, the success OF
the Convention should not be imperilled
bv excluding from its support and
from participation in its proceedings
those who consider themselves still
DISTINGUISHED. The FLICK amendment
is of far less importance that the con-
vention; the latter can do all that the
former can do; it can undo all that the
appointment does wrong. The question
is, can the convention be called and
made successful without first agreeing
to the amendment? This question,
which is not in any sense one Of purely
party division, each friend of the con-
yention must answer for himself.

Lsg,slation and Liquor.

II .pneaf, the present law, authorizing the
sale of liquor BY the dram OF In less qua"',-
ties than quart. requires the person intehu-
ing to keep dram shop to presentS petitioi
to the County Court. signed by majority o'
the legal voters of the Township. This VIZ
tually puts the licensing of Dram Shops III
the hands of the people, and II they suner
from their existence they have no one Out
themselves to blame. Licenses expire at the
close of the year and new ones must be OBJ
tanned, so that legal voters have an oppor-
tumity every year of removing this source OF
evil from among us. Statistics tell us that
nine tenths of all crimes committed are oi-
rectly traceable to the use OfliQuorS, and con-
seauently nine -te,iths OF the expense Of our
Courts and Jails is entailcd upon us by this
same cause, thus greatly increasing our Tax
es. which, to say the least, are oppressive.
While this is great evil, 1t can better be
borne than the Generalization Of the young
men Of the community. upon whom in very
few years the responsibilities Of society will
rest. 1t needs no labored argument to show
the difference between sober, moral and in
dustrous community and one that is intem-
perate, with gambling, shftless and Immoral
tendencies; for, the legitimate fruits OF the
Dram Shop are: Drunkenness, gambling, pro-
yanity idieness. porerty, Nth abuse u nires and
children. and bringing Mem to suffering and
,ea.t. Let all those who desire to avoid these
evils REFUSE TO sign the petitions for Dram
shops and they will cease.
GOOD ORDER.
