a Washington special to the En-
qstsrer dated the 1st inst. says:
The intelligence from New York
that judge Pratt has granted 3 war
rant for the arrest of Baez, the deposed
Presidensof the San Domingo faction
with whom president Grant nnder-
took to arrangea a treaty of anuexation
creates attention here, as it is under
stood that one of the prominent Off
GERS of the aGe=sTument involved is
General Babceck. This matter was
brought before the United States Sen-
ate in june, 1870, upon the petition OF
David Hatch, by Senator Ferry, who
certified to his high character and
stated that Mr.. Hatch was at first con-
demned to death by Baez; that his
sentence had been commuted TO abaa-
ishmsnt, but ere Hatch could leave he
was seized and confined in an sun-
healthy and crowded prison, and kept
there six months by. the infiuepce. OF
General Babccck, who was then in
San Domingo, and was finally releas-
ed upon the demand Of Admiral PooI
! President Baez assigning as reason
| for his conduct that if Hatch was re-
leased he would use influence al
1 Washington to defeat the T.'eaty OF
! Annexation. A very sharp and vio-
! lent debate ensued, in which Messrs,
Summer, Ferry, Chandler, Howard
Nye and Thayer participated Chan
dler assailed Mr.. Hatch in very coarss
terms, and Mr.. Nye-Who had at once
preiudged the case, and endorsed
Babcock s.as pure as the waters of the
mountains from the melted snow
was put at the head of the Select
| Committee of Investigation. which
naturally brought in a report white
washing Babcock and Baez. 1t is 8
/ curious circumstance that atheAdmIn
istration Senators, who tauntingly
asked how Baez was to be broughi
here on supenR, should now enjoy
| the pleasure of seeing him held to bal
! for twenty-five thousand dollars t.
answer to the suit.of Mr.. Hatch.

adTHEY have . mamwsth municipal
job under investigation in Cincinnati
in which Hon. William S. Groesbeck
is made to figure in no very enviable
light. : It is charged that he, with his
brother-in-law, Mr.. Burnett, sold to
the city of Cincinnati, tract of land
for park purposes, for the enormous
sum of half million dollars, and to
accomplish the sale each of the par-
ties paid $12,500I to bribe the city
council. The testimony of Mr.. 6.
before the committee of Investigation
admits the payment of the money,
bEtsdehiesthe corrupt purpose alleged,
claiming that it was paid as percent
age for efecting the sale. It looks as
thoughshis reputation for honesty is
more effectively @spoiled" than he
claimed the Democratic party to be
last fall.
