The Dominican Outrage ON the British
Flag.

Flag
cloud of misfortune hangs over the bur-
lesque Republic of St Domingo. The gov
eminent of Baez has committed an act which
must surely result in serious difficulties with
the British. The letter from our special cor
respondent, who was commissioned by the
HERALD to visit and describe the SANTANA Bay
Companys purchase, published to-day, con-
veys the highly important information that
the residence of the British Vice Consul at
Porto Plata was forcibly entered by a civil ana
military force under the direction OF the Do
minican Minister of Finance, and three citi-
zens, enemies of Baez and opponents Of the
SANTANA sale, taken therefrom and thrown
into a dungeon. The Consul acquainted
his superiors of the outrage, and q
British man-of-war was expected at Porto
Plata to protest. in the Palmerstonian
fashion, through the mouth of her big
guns In the meantime it appears that Baez
has approved the conduct of his people and
has ordered tho prisoners of State to be
brought to St. Domingo City Our CORE
spondent gives both sides of the story, the ex-
PLANTATION of Governor Gonzales who ordered
the arrests, and the statement of Mr.. Ham
burger, the British Vice Consul, and from
these it will be seen that the Dominican gov
eminent has not only committed grave
offence, but graver blunder. OF all the
Powers having Consular representatives in the
Republic England was about the last that
should have been offered an affront Not
over-pleased with the coquetting of the United
hints of annexation and the SANTANA Bay &C
QUESTION, it will, no doubt, be pleasant duty
for the British Foreign Office to exact from
Mr.. Baez abundant satisfaction for the affront
committed
But with this matter we have and should
not have anything whatever to do. Baez has
made his bed of trouble, and he can now lie
in it. If he imagines that the United States
will protect him in his arbitrary acts he is
much mistaken. The party of Ameri-
can citizens who have paid one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars down for a. years
rent OF SANTANA Bay represent themselves only;
and while they have, undoubtedly, reserved
rights, MIR. Baez must not for moment sup
pose that the terms of their purchase imply,
if they do not specify, ON American protecto-
rate over the Republic. If any such idea pos
sessed him when approving the conduct of
Governor Gonzales, as it seems to possess a
large number of his followers, the sooner our
Secretary of State dispels it the better.

ana France.
The two Latin race republics do not to all
outward appearances, at least, fraternize very
cordially in sentiment or policy. They are
either too near to each other territorially or
not sufficiently intimate in their democratic
communion. The governments at Versailles
and in Madrid have just concluded an
important correspondence relative to Carlism
and its revolutionist efforts. France COM
plains of outrages which have been
perpetrated against French citizens by
officers of the government of the Spanish
clerical Carlist chief, the cure of Santa Cruz.
SefIor CASTELAR, replies in circular expressive
of his regret at the occurrence of the facts
enumerated by M. Theirs, and then takes
point against France in the argument that
most of the Carlists are equipped in France
and derive the bulk of their supplies, in
money and commissariat, from French terri
tory. The cure of Santa Cruz sojourned at
Bayonne, passed thence into Spain, and
was not interfered with when on French
soil. Cariist troops in great numbers
wear the uniform of French mobiles, and
many Frenchmen of high rank are serving
with the Spanish insurgents. The Madrid
government has taken measures to put O
stop to the commission of outrages
against foreigners and neutral travellers in
Spain. The mother and sister of the cure of
Santa Cruz have been seized as hostages.

We are evidently going from bad to worse
as regards the gold premium, if, indeed, the
approach to specie payments and consequent
decline il the price of gold is to be considered
blessing or desirable. The gold quotations
are now pretty steady between lis and 116,
being from 1154 to 1853. On October 81 last
the premium was 112} to 1929; November 80
it was 1923 to 1923; December 81 it was 111a
to 1921; on January 81 it had gone up to 1871
to 1889; at the end of February there was
still an advance, and now it nearly touches
116 Here is an important fact which our bust
ness men, the government and political econ
omists would do well to consider. What is
the cause of this steady rise in the face OF our
surprising prosperity, profound peace and
strength of the national credit? 1t can
not be attributed to Wall street cliques,
neutrality-suspicious. or to any such
extraordinary combinations as have existed
at times heretofore. There is certainly
general cause independent of them, and, we
think, independent of the government, though
we by no means look favorably upon the finan-
cial policy Of the Treasury Department. The
administration and its controlling majority in
Congress may speak exultingly Of the financial
policy, or success, as they are pleased to term
it, of the government; but that does not pre-
vent gold going up and the prospect of specie
payments becoming less and less every month.
Without going into the subject further at
present we simply state a fact for the consider
alton of business men and those economical
philosophers who love to ventilate their ideas
on financial problems
Is New ENGLAND INsENsIBLE TO CoRRup-
TIoN?-The st. Louis Republican AYERS that
'the New Hampshire election is not very salts
factory to anybody" and adds that eff it
proved anything at all, it is the little impress
sion which the corruptions of the repub-
lican party at Washington have made on the
masses in that New England State" In q
matter of dollars and cents morality it is safe
to say that the masses of New England are
encased in armor as pregnable as the people
of any other section of the country. New
England has almost exclusively furnished the
South with that pestiferous class of public
plunderers, the carpet-baggers and it would
be strange if there are not some samples of
the same race of political leeches still living
at home, ready to wink at corruptions at
Washington or elsewhere But we should be
sorry to see it affirmed that New England is
insensible to official corruption and that she
halts in q resolution to properly rebuke those
of her sons who have perilled her honor by
their connection with the scandals developed
the past Winter in Washington.

The Hon. GARRISON N. Potter says that by
refusal to sign the warrant for his back pay
the amount remains in the United States
Treasury, where it honestly belongs but he
had no occasion to tell us this. The point we
made was, that unless Mr.. Potter directs the
Sergeant-at-Arms to pay the money into the
Treasury of the United States he can hereafter
change his mind, sign the warrant and pocket
his back pay. According to the act of Con-
gress the money still stands to his credit on
the books of the Sergeant-at-Arms, and the
mere refusal to sign the warrant now will not
place the five thousand dollars where he can
not reach it hereafter. We do not want to see
congressman evade the issue, though we
acquit Mr. Potter of any such intention. Let
them pocket the money or pay it over, so as to
make a final disposition of it, that the public
may know where the money went
There is another point about this retroactive
pay steal which is worthy of attention. As
soon as it became known that some of the
members Of Congress would refuse to take
the money, the charity beggars began to over
whelm them with letters, begging them to give
the money to churches or to the Washington
Monument. In another column we print one
or two specimens Of these letters, that our
readers may see how the integrity ofCongress-
men is constantly besieged. If the Washing
ton Monument is to be benefited by money
taken from the Treasury of the United States,
let the amount be appropriated by Congress,
and expended in way that the people may
know that it was not thrown away. 1t is gen.
orally understood that the monument is
sinking. If this be true it is scarcely honest
to ask anybody to contribute towards its com
.pletion. The church-building schepes ars

Tho Second Equinoctial Gale.

The second equinoctial gale of the season
put in its appearance promptly yesterday and
extended over large section of country.
The first attempt at q Spring storm last week
was not success but this seems to have
been very general in its scope, and to have
been attended with widespread driving and
heavy rains and strong winds. The report of
the Weather Bureau yesterday betokened
rough weather over the Middle and Eastern
States, and also in the Allegheny sections.
The storm expanded itself over the lower
lakes, with some snow, but its violence was
.fnlt most on the seaboard and along the
Xlleghanies. The result will very probably
be to occasion Spring freshet in the Ohio
River, and possibly in some of the Eastern
rivers, as it is almost too late for them to be
sealed up again by cold The dissolution of
the snow and ice on the slope of the Allie
ghanies cannot long be delayed, and this rain
storm may-probably will-set them all in
motion. The telegraph tells us that the storm
was attended with heavy snow from Chicago
to Maine, and with hail, snow and rain in the
mountainous parts of Pennsylvania.
To-day, according to the almanac, the sun,
which has for three months been on his north
ward course, crosses the Equator, making the
night and day of equal length. One may now
consider Spring fairly opened. As the days
grow long and the warmth increases our
streets show resumption Of activity, while
the business quarters of the city exhibit indi-
cations of an unusually lively trade. With the
advance of Spring and approach Of Summer
our city authorities should display greater
vigor in the necessary work of cleaning the
streets and putting them in condition to pre-
vent all unwholesome smells and disease
breeding exhalations. Winter and its incon-
veniences being past, we should also by every
means hasten on those projects for rapid
transit which promise in the future to remedy
the evils of snow-choked streets and buried
railway tracks, and make the daily journey
from the uptown home to the downtown place
of business smaller tax upon time than that
we now 80 unwillingly pay.

of republican Senators can only arise from
considerations of personal interest and from q
desire to make market for themselves and
their friends with the appointing power.
As between the propositions of the Assem-
bly, and the Senate, the former appears by far
the least Objectionable. Under the Senate
plan, in case of the rejection of the Mayors
nominations by the Board of Aldermen, the
officers who would be subsequently appointed
by the Mayor and the two Presidents of
the Boards of Aldermen and Assistants would
be unknown to the people until their appoint
ments had been made. Their merits could
not, therefore, be publicly canvassed in
advance of their appointment Under the
Assembly plan the Aldermen would in the
first place nominate officers who, if not con-
firmed by the Mayor, would be elected by the
same power that nominated them, and between
the time of their nomination and the time of
their election the citizens and the press would
have ample opportunity to discuss their quail
fications and to bring public sentiment to
bear against them should they be unfit for the
positions assigned to them. In the first
amended charter passed by the State Legisla-
ture April T. 1880, it was provided in the
twenty-frst section that the Common Council
should appoint all the departments for the
executive business of the city. Mayor
Havemeyer has himself testified that when the
Common Council nominated officers to him,
and he, as Mayor, confirmed or rejected ior
reason such nominations, the system worked
