SAN DOMINGO.

The continued state OF turmoil and
disquietude existing on the Island of
San Domingo, makes the question of
the annexation of the island to the
United States a matter of doubtful ex-
rediency. The latest news from San
Domingo is that Cabral and Luperon,
the leaders of the Haytians, are re-or-
gaaizing their forces and metltatlng
an attack upon Baez, and that Baez
had executed Ohio, the Secretary of
Luperon. 1t would seem from the
events transporting, that the hostility
of Hayti to the Government of Baez
is embittered and intensified by the
prospect of annexation.
The scene of hostilities between thu
forces of Baez and Cabral is in the
northwestern portion of the San Do.
mingo Republic the disputed territory
between the two countries. The re-
port of the late San Domingo Commiss
ion shows concEusively that the con-
trolling sentiment of the republic is
favorable to annexation, and there
fore to Baez. But. the people are not
such that they would maintain their
opinions by force against the incur
sions of Luperon and at Puerto Plata
there is mercantile sentiment hostile
to Baez, and which favors the revola-
tionary movement. Baez finds him.
self considerably embarrassed in his
operations against Hayti from the fact
that he has not been paid by our Gov.
eminent for the occupation of the Bay
of SANTANA. In any event we believe
that Iayti would always be more or
less troublesome to the Island, and
even in case of annexation, it would re-
quire military rule to keep that por
ton of the people in subsection, and
unfortunately for the people of San Do
mingo, this is not situation of affairs
which would, make the annexation Of
the country desirable for US.

Gov. Jewell, of Connecticut, in his
inaugural message, asserts that the sys

than Indiana, and is bringing the state
into disrepute. In 1870 the number
of divorces granted was 400, many of
which were without any reasonable
cause The evil has grown so that the
people come from other states where
the laws are more strict to avail them
selves of the loose laws of Connect
