THE NEW

The latest news from San Domingo
Is that Of the organization Of the Gov
eminent Of SANTANA Bay. It will be
recollected that this harbor and Its sur
roundings were purchased last year BY.
a company Of New York capitalists
for a large sum Of money. The title
Of the company was announced as the
"Samana Bay Company" and prepar-
atoms for assuming possession Of the
property were Don after made. We
now learn that the property purchased
has been formally ceded by the San
Domingo Government to this company
and that they have commenced busl-
ness on their own account ~ q sover-
eign power. A Collector Of the Port
OF SANTANA has been appointed and a
regular police force organized. This Is
very much like the course pursued BY
the British East India Company, which
after an existence Of nearly three CEN
turtles Is now on Its last legs aud will
probably DO defunct before the present
Parliament shall dissolve, as a move
msnt Is In progress to legislate 1t out
Of existence.
It Is not probable that the horrid
cruelties and expressions visited upon
tho natives by the authority aud dlrec-
ton Of the East India Company will
be rs-enacted In Santo Domingo. 1t Is
too near our borders for such crimes to
20 unpunlshed, especially as the COM
pany Is American in management. We
shall not hear Of q Hastings or Give,
but In their stead We hope to see a sue
cessful colony, American In sentiment
and In a few years worthy Of annexa-
ton to our domlnions. This 10 doubt
less the ultimate object sought to be
achieved by the SANTANA Bay Company.
This Ii the first foothold obtained by
United States citizens In the West In
dian Islands. and 1t Is worthy Of note
that what filibustering and diplomacy
have both failed to accomplish has
been brought about by the agency OF
American dollars.
There Is one grave question to be
considered In the purchase Of this pro-
perty and Its occupancy BY an Ameri.
can Company. The character OF the
governments and people by whom
IL Is surrounded, Is not Of tho most
stable or peaceable nation. The Brit
ish Government found It necessary to
protect tho East Indian Company by
an army stationed within their posses
sions. Should any difficulty occur he.
tween the Governments Of Haytl or
San Domingo and that Of the new
sovereignty, our Government would
undoubtedly bs called upon for assist
anee. Unless some treaty shall be
made between tho United States and
the Government Of Sanana Bay, Of
fensive and defensive in Its terms and
character, 1t would DO a serious ques-
ton under International law, how far
our Government would have the right
to interfere to protect the new sover-
eighty. Doubtless an attempt will DO

recognition from this Government and

GlOrying In the Cross OF Christ-Sermon
by the Rev. DIR. Partridge.
The rector OF Christ Protestant Episcopal church,
on Bedford avenue, the Rev. Dr. Partridge,
preached practical discourse yesterday morning,
taking for his text Galatians vi, 14-"God forbid that

tory remarks the preacher said that few men I'M
derstood those words cxperimentally as st. Paul
did II was one of those deep sayings which must
come from the ground OF heart renewed by the
mower of the Holy Ghost, or it would be nothing
more than a sounding brass or tinkling cymbal.
The words of the text were uttered by young
man at whose feet they laid the clothes
of stephen, the man Of God, as they pre-
pafed to stone him. No man Of ali Israel
had greater reverence for Jewish institutions or
greater love for pomp and spendor ii religion and
no man was more prejudced against all other
creeds and rituals than was Saul; and could any
one have approached him when his hateful zeaF

come when thou shalt say, God forbid that should
glory save In the cross OF Lord Jesus Christ by
whom the world is crucined unto me and unto
the world,'" he would have exclaimed,
us THY SERVANT GOD
that he should say this thing ?" Such conversion
to the Christian faith seemed almost impossible,

John w.. 6-"Without NE We can do nothing"
Only one man has had the right to utter these
words. They are not arrogance. They are the
simple statement Of plain truth. Christ COM
pares Himself to vine and US to the branches. We
knew that II the branches are severed from the
stem they must die: and Christ tells US that II
we are severed from Him we must die. And so
come to tell You this morning that Christ Is your
vital life. You have physical instincts and
appetltes, an intellectual organization and
spiritual organization that reaches
God Himself, and stretches its hands to
the angels. Now, man may drop his physical
Life and still live. His mind Is secondary but his
soul force goes right into the core of his e-dlves
into the centre OF things. And so say that Christ
is vital because he does this thing precisely. He Is
not satisfied without the core. TO Him
is nothing. How did He point the finger OF scorn
at those who seemed religious but who refused
