An Example.

Buenaventura BaeZ, nOminally Presi.
dent, was for many years the autOcrat Oi
san Domingo. lie was raised 10 the Pres
idcncy with the almost unanimous consent
OF the whole people. He az once began Ia
deal with the office and the country as il
they were personal property of his own.
The high posts of the Government lac filled
with members Of his own family. Every
relation of his. legitimate or illegjtimate.
az once became the recipient of salary
from the Treasury. Great dignities We're
bestowed on those who gave him presents.
The revenues OF the republic he treated A.
his own and devoting himself assiduous-
~ to the task of building up a fortune for
himself. he rapidly accumulated from pub
lie plumber large sums of money which he
prupcntly invested in foreign lands. Fl
nally he conceived the idea of an immense
speculation from which colossal returns
were TO be realized for him and his a. So
ciates. This enterprise was nothing less
than the annexation of his country 10 the
United States. President Grant entered
into il with remarkable zeal and there j.
no doubt that if il mad been carried through.
IL would have made all who We're more in
timately concerned i'm il immensely rich.
But IL was broken down and defeated by
the independent press of the United States.
and by the public excitement and indigna-
ton produced among the people of this
country through the exposure of its nefa-
rious features.
And now BaeZ has been turned out of
the office which he thus perverted. and
forced to flee from the country which he
80 long fieeced and misruled. We dare
say that in the exile 10 which lac has gone,
he will find consolation enough in the en-
ioyment OF the wealth he has got tOgethcr;
but his downfall and Punishment should,
nevertheless, afford a warning to all ten
ants of power who regard their own ag-
grandiZement as the first object Of their
and who foolishly imagine when
they provide for their relations and their
parasites at the public expense and make
themselves rich upon the spoils Of Office,
that justice and punishment will never
reach them. The example of Bacz should
teach To them and To all the lesson that
justice and punishment art certain TO be
executed upon corrupt and lawless rulers
sooner or later. and that those who do not
administer great public charges wisely
and honestly, will at last be brought to
and disgrace.-N. Y. Sun.
