N DOMINGO.
Arrest of the Ex-President.

NEW YORK, March This morning
Judge Pratt granted a warrant for the ar
rest of Benaventura Baz, ex-president Of
Santo Domingo, on an application ofDavis
Hatch, a wealthy resident of Connecticut.
He brings action for damages against B@z,
charging the ex.president with conspiracy
against his liberty, wealth and life while
he was a resident in Santo Domingo. 1t
seems Hatch acquired possession of ian i'm
mense salt mine in Santo Domingo from
Spanish authorities and was suddenly
arrested and charged with being in sympa-
thy with the Cabral faction, aud was sent
to prison and kept there five months; was
then brought before a drum.head court
martial, summarily tried, and sentenced to
death. He was afterwards pardoned by
Baez, and his mine confscated. Com
plant of plaintiff recites a story of fright
full corruption, fraud and villainy, and the
trial will bring forward eminent men of
the government.
Bail was fixed at $25, 900.

to establish one controlling specie paying

agent OF the government; shall be in its
organization and administration independ-

power to prevent, ward off and quiet such

accumulation of adequate cash reserves OF
coin and bullion; the use Of the discount

lation OF the rate of interest that it may

A.. That in the opinion of this General
Assembly it is unwise in our government,
unlike the other leading commercial ma
tons, to hold It's large balance Of coin,
amounting usually to near a hundred mil
lions of dollars, locke ed up in the treasury
and useless, while the people are struggling
against a panic that may be speedily
quoted or prevented by its wise use. witt
ness the unparalleled crisis Of September
last.] .
5 That in the opinion of this General
Assembly the bill nov before the House
of Representatives of the United States,
entitled "a bill for the establishment Of
an Ex%chequer," seems to embody sub
stantially the foregoing principles, and is
worthy of the careful consideration of Con-
gress.
6. That the Senators in the Congress OF
the United States from this state are here
by instructed, and the members OF the
House of Representatives requested, to
endeavor, by all proper means, to carry
out the views of this General Assembly,
as herein before expressed.
Z. That his excellency the Governor OF
this commonwealth is hereby requested to
communicate a copy Of this preamble and
these resolutions to the governors of the
several states, with a request that they lay
it before their respective legislatures ; and
further, to transmit a copy thereof to each
of the senators and representatives from
this state in the Congress of the United
States, with the request that they will pre-
sent the same to their respective bodies.
Thanks were returned to Hon. Mr.. Plat
and General Anderson for their remarks,
and on motion of Mr.. Connally, the meet
ing adjourned.
The National Exchequer bill was pre-
pared by Mr.. d. II. London, now of New
York, formerly of this city. -

THE PETERSBURG CHARTER

The final passage of the bill providing a
new charter for the city Of Petersburg is
an act of partisan recklessaess, as damag-
ing to the state as it is disgraceful to its
authors and abetors. At a time when the
best men of all parties are earnestly en-
deavoring to soften down the asperities and
a%ntagonisms of the past, and to unite for
the upbuilding Of the material interests of
the state, nothing could hive been more
ill-timed and unfortunate.
The overwhelming ma orlty which backs
the Conservative party in this state should
have satisfied its leaders and made them
moderate in the use of power. To single
ont the one Republican city of the whole
state (which has been. to say the least, as
we'll governed as any other,) for special
proscriptive legislation, is a monstrous
and inexcusab!e wrong. 1t is an outrage
upon the rights of the local municipality,
which. if allowed to 60 u%nrebuked and un'
redressed, works the ruin of civil liberty
in this state.
The bill gives over the city of Peters
burg to the arbitrary control of a single
Judge. He appoints and removes at vii
the commissioners who are to govern thu
city of Petersburg. Practically he is mad
the source of all the powers of govern
ment. The thing done is only excelled il
wickedness by the mode of doing it. A
we have already shown it tramples upo1
the most sacred provisions of the consti
tuition. '..
1t defeats the prescribed mode of takin
the sense of local majorities. 1t confer
upon the local judiciary extraordina ar
powers wholly inconsistent with the spir
of our government, and makes the ele'
tive franchise a. mere farce in the LOCI
elections. We have still the hope that Go'
ernor Kemper will remand the bill to Il
Assembly for reconsideration, with stat,
ment of the objections which a man
his generous instincts and clear legal min
must entertain against it.

commodation train left London at @. 80
p. m. and consisted of empty tank cars, a

the interior of the saloon was completely
filled with flames. which spread through
the coach almost instantly. The passen-

platform and through the windows. The

but before they could be extricated eight
persons were fatally suffocated and burned.

fore the physician arrived. This morning
the police were notified of the fact. There is

"Horace G.. Turpin, formerly of Rich

pany, got into a difficulty Wednesday, which
grew out of an alleged intimacy with a
young lady of that place. Turpin was ar
raigned before the mayor Thursday morn
ing for indicate conduct in connection
with this Young lady in the city cemetery.
While the examination was going on, a
large crowd gathered in front of the
mayors Office, threatening to mob
Turoin. As soon as the trial
was over, Turpin and partner were re.
quested by the mayor to flee the city, as
his police were inadequate to stop the en-
ragged mob. Turpin and partner, avail
ing themselves of the mayors advice, left
their Office. going in opposite directions.
Turpin, finding the crowd in close pursuit,
mounted a horse for the purpose of facili.
tating his escape, but the horse fell and
he was captured, and he received, at the
hands Of the people, a terrible beating
He was taken to Jail as soon as possible
