Commissioners Report.

The following synopsis of the report O.
the San Domingo Commission will Civ,
pretty good idea of that lengthy doc
ument, and its recommendations
The Dominican government was found
in full operation and exercising every
legitimate function. The government,
and Baez are in full and peaceful posses
sion Of all parts ofthe republic excepting
the Haytien border, which is disturbed
by revolutionary leaders, assisted by
Haytiens. Baez enjoys the respect Of
the great majority of the population, and
has four times accepted the position Of
chief magistrate. 1t is remarkable
fact that the President, Cabinet, Legisla,
ture and judiciary are in favor of laying
down their power in favor of the United
States. The constant commotion of sew.
eral years has completely paralyzed in.
dustrial pursuits, and the resources of the
republic have so diminished that it cannot
pay its EXPENSES, and the confidence OF
the people could alone have preserved its
existence. Cabral occupies three or four
mountain villages, and, with a small force,
has been able to disturb considerable
district for long time, though he has
few Dominican followers. Luperon has
lately created disturbances in the north
of the island, but it could not be discov.

ders led the population to agree to the
Spanish occupation, but the harshness Of
the rule of Spain, the folly of many meas.
ures adopted and fear of REINSTATEMENT
led to the driving of the Spaniards from
the island. The population is fixed al
100000. Many Of its richest portion,
are uninhabited. The people had gensr
ally heard of the question of annexation
in all parts of the island and it had beer
widely discussed, and everywhere there
was nearly a unanimous feeling thai
peace and tranquility could come only
from annexation. The greater friendship
for the United States than for othel
Powers is due largely to colonies which
went out to the island years ago. The
people seem more unanimous for annexa
tion than the Commission has known any
people to be upon any great politica
question. An exceedingly small portion
is opposed to annexation, aud these ar,

Henry, Flourens, and others. They pass
ed Fort Valerian, which was occupied by
the Government forces, in the expectation
that the garrison would not modest them,
and perhaps would fraternize with them
and they furthermore appear to have
looked for some detection among the
Government troops. A vigorous fire was
opened upon them, however, from Valer-
ian, and when they met the forces from
Versailles fierce contest ensued in which
the Nationals appear to have been utter
y routed. The report of nj. Picard, in
summing up the result,says Chatillon was
captured with 1000 men. Flourens and
Duval are dead, and Henry prisoner.

worst fire that has visited Albany since
the great fire of August 184S, occurred

The Baltimore american expresses the
belief that, upon free and fair election,
in which every citizen legally qualified is
allowed to deposte his vote without coer-
cion or hinderance the Republican Party
would carrythe State of Maryland. In the
last election, it says, not less than 5000
white Republican voters were bullied and
cajolcd into voting the Democratic ticket
against their own convictions and their
own better judgment, and an equal num-
Der of colored voters were kept from the
polls through intimidation and fear of be-
ing discharged from employment. At the
municipal elections this Spring there has
been no excitement, and consequently no
intimidation of voters. Some weeks since
at the elections for municipal officers in
Frederick, Boonsboro and Williamsport,
the Republican candidates were elected
by decisive majorities. On Monday last
elections were held at Annapolis, Frost.

bound and gagged him, nearly strangling
him by handkerchief about his neck
and one of them held pistol to his head,
