The ST.. DOMINGO QUESTION. Detroit
Post, administration organ, thinks Horace
Greeley (pale Whitley, Frederick Douglass
(colored) and Caleb Gushing (very white)
would make an able commission for the Pre-
sident to appoint on the st. Domingo investi-
CATION. In regard to Judge Cushing the Post
remarks:--
Mr.. Cushing possesses cyclopadiac knowledge. He
Is shrewd, keen man; Is master OF the Spanish
tongue, has diplomatic end legal experience aud
will be valuable member of the com mission. Ten
years ago, however, ha would have resented being
sent on an errand with "nigger." He IL said to be
committed to the scheme Of annexation; II 60 his
views OF the subject Will naturally be somewhat
col0red by his prejudgment
The Idea that Caleb Cushing should have
his views "colored" on this or any other
national subject is immaterial at this day.
The colored question being settled by the
fifteenth amendment, Judge Gushing has per-
feet right to 60 to st. Domingo with the
colored Fred Douglass or any other man if he
chooses, and has not the fear of another St.
Domingo massacre before his eyes.

1t is, at this writing, an absolute impos

estimate of the loss of life in this terrible
sea OF flame; but were all, from the best
authority we can obtain, of the opinion
that it will reach 200 to 1900 In many
places on the moth side the streets are
thickiy strewen with disfgured corpses,
and mutilated beyond recognition. In
some instances, whole blocks of houses
were surrounded and swallowed up in the
seething mass of flames, inmates and all
together.

Americans, with such arrogant tyranny and
violation of the sacred rights of humanity
If true, what right has the priest to remove
this body of" one of Madison's most wealthy

If our laws are defective in this regard, the
punishment for such crime should be made
definite and certain by loyal enactment. 1T
is new offence with us, and may be repeat

should have limit, for it seems that teach

it unto me,'' has no controlling power over
the GhouNsh propensities of some ofthat

Was it fears of this intolerance, that in

intolerance and priestly tyranny? Does the
title Of all Catholic burying grounds vest in
the priest or bishop, or in the Committee OF
the local society? If SO, the law should be
amended. Did the mission from Rome, Of the
Romish bishop Bedini, some Is years ago,
have, anything to do with the control of Cath
