REVOLUTION ~ HAYrL-The dark-skinned
citizens OF the model Republic Of the Antilles
celebrated last Sunday by revolution, dur
ing which many atrocities we're perpetrated.
A general was dragged from church and shot
and forty foreigners lost their lives A servant
Of the British Consul was among the number,
and as there are couple OF British gunboats
on hand there the lawless acts Of the revolu-
tionists will likely be visited with severe chas-
tisement Government N Hayti rests on very
insecure foundations and partakes more Of the
character OF o farce than anvthino ala

Corruption IN . New Form.

We have no doubt that ex-senator Pratt, of
Indiana, will make most useful Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue. At the same
time we think the action Of the President in
appointing him is open to grave censure.
Mr. Pratt has been Senator. During that
time it was his duty TO advise and consult
with the President upon many OF the most
important acts Of his administration. At the
close Of his term he IS given BY the President
an important office. We do not say that this
appointment is in any sense a reward for his
''fealty to the party;" but the custom Of mem
bers Of the House and Senate at the close OF
their term insisting upon receiving public
Office is calculated to bring the Legislature
under the control Of the Executive. Such
government and with true freedom. Il o
President can use his patronage to affect tho
vote Of the Senate or the House then how
can there be freedom Of legislation or indie
pendence of Executive dictation? We know
it has been the custom since tie foundation
Of the government for Senator'S and men,
bers to expect, on their retirement from their
Legislative career, to receive Executive APP
pointments. In some cases, where it is neces-
sary to have a high, special fitness for certain
work, it would be a hardship not TO allow the
President to select q Senator or a member.
and no one would complain Of such action
for instance, as making Mr.. Chase Secretary
Of the Treasury, as was done by
Mr.. Lincoln upon his entering into
the Presidency. But when it becomes
q custom it is dangerous form
Of corruption. President Grant has made it
custom He has exhausted the patronage
Of the government TO find places tor every
Senator and member who was defeated at the
last election. He has shown future Presi-
dents how they may maintain an influence
over Congress Of the most potent character
He has taught members that they need care
nothing about their responsibility to the
people, because if they will serve him ~
proving recreant to them he viii give them
place and power. General Grant has not
shown the finest sense Of propriety in many
OF his acts as President but in nothing has he
more offended the vital principle Of freedom IN
legislation and independence in public life
than in his efforts to re ward with high places
Conoressmen who wero driven from public
life by their constituents

Governor Coles Annual Message
10 the National Council.

CIAuLA TAwIIA, CIIocrAw NATION,
VIA CADDO, /. T., October O.-lIis Excel.
lency, Coleman Cole, Governor Of the
ChOCtaw Nation, delivered his annual
message to The National Council in Joint
session to-day. lie recommended the
adoption Of colored people, formerly held
as slaves by the Choct6ws, and now iv.
ing within the limits Of the Nation, Civ
ing them equal rights with the ChOCtaw
citizens, except in soil that they be al
lowed forty acres only Of land each In nc.
Cordance with the terms Of the treaty Of
1866. lie recommends the placing Of
the public schools entirely under The
control Of the National Council, exclud-
Ing the children Of white persons not
citizens. lie is opposed TO the admission
Of any railroads, Of white men as mer.
chants or miners to the white population,
and hopes the people Of the United
States will let the Choctaws alone to
enjoy their rights in their own way. ile
says the crops are sufficient for the wants
Of the people, and much better than
for years past. The Government claims
nil mines Of coal, lead or other minerals
nnd timber "a belonging to the ChOctaw
and ChiCkasaw Nations in common with
the soil, and not to individuals, and rec
ommends the appointment Of National
agents, authorizing them TO construct
scales and weigh all coal sold to railroads
or other companies, and to collect royalty
for the same, the proceeds to he applied
to promote the educational interest OF the
people; that laws he passed to protect
capitalists in opening coal or other mines
for a period Olive years, subject to Choc.
taw laws; that National agent be em-
powered to guard the public mines for
The sole use and benefit Of the public
schools, to amend the present Constitu-
tion; TO continue the effort 10 collect of
the United States what il known MS the
Choctaw net proceeds claim, twice defeat
ed by the last Congress; the payment Of
the same TO the National treasurer for in
dividual claimants, as per treaty Of 1888
and the award Of the United States Senate,
the unclaimed amount to be funded in
United States fve.per.cent. gold bonds for
the benefit Of the Nation.
The tone Of the message is more liberal
than was expected, and seems to meet the
views Of the majority present.

Editors Of The lntCllIsCnccri
Our Circuit Court IL still IN session..
Judge &. s. leiws Is on the bench IN the

Tuesday noon, and from the progress

next week will be consumed before II
even goes to the jury. Able counsel are

Holiday and Morrow, Of Fairmont, for
the defendants. Every point Is closely

hend that II Is the opening Of very vex-
ing litigation, for, no doubt, let the case
go as II may the parties Of the other side
will appeal, and so the end doth not yet
appear. Judge Melvin ruled that The
Court would decide the case, but | pre-.
snme that Judge Lewis set aside the
ruling, as the case Ia being tried before

We were favored yesterday with a

FOREIGN NEWS.
HOLLAND.


LONDON, October "a dispatch from
The Hague announces that the venezue-
Ian Minister PlenipOtentiary, with his
Secretary, left there on Saturday for
Brussels, The announcement derives its
Importance from the known relations be-
tween the two countries, and suggests the
inquiry whether the announcement noted
indicates rupture OF diplomatic rela-
tions, Diplomatic circles say probably
not, as in such cases usually there is no
attempt at secrecy.
RUPTURE BETWEEN HOLLAND AND vENE-
ZUELA.
Particulars in regard to the differences
between Holland and Venezuela are that
the latter asked to be inlomniRed for ex-
pcnsCs Of suppressing u recent revolt,
which, as alleged, was aided by the in
habitants OF Caracas. Holland refused
to enter into negotiations until Venezuela
restored the Dutch SLIP Midas and agree
to reopen her ports to Dutch commerce.
Venezuela agreed to restore the Midas,
but desired the withdrawal by Holland Of
the second condition. Holland not hay
ing NcCGded to these terms within three
days, diplomatic relations between the
two countries were ruptured. The Dutch
representative at Caracas is recalled.
TIE HAGUE, October 0.-The diplo.
matte relations between this country and
Venezuela have been broken of, because
Holland refused to indemnify Venezuela
for an alleged Intervention by Dutch sub.
jeCts at Caracas in Venezuelan internal
affairs.

AN IMPERATIVE ORDER.
Pittsburgh industrlnI Eypositiol,

PITTSBURGH, October D.-Thc Trades.
mems Industrial Exposition was opened
to the public at 10 o'clock this morning,
Nearly all tho exhibitors have already
occupied the space allotted to them, and
the success Of the enterprise Is assured be-
yond u doubt.
There was n fair attendance at the TX.
EpOsition to-day, and the scene presented
around the building was one Of bust
ling activity, II number Of wOrkmen on
the building being busiy employed in
putting the finishing stroke on the strIlc.
tire, while inside very large crowd Of
exhibitors were engaged In fitting up
their displays in such manner M best to
catch the public eye. Up to the present
time over 600 entries for space have
been made. The main building Of the
Exposition is 600 feet long by 100 in width,
nnd adjoining this is quite large strlIC.
ture 200 feet long by 50 feet wide, known
as Power Hall, and intended for the cx.
hibition Of boilers, heavy machinery, &c,
the whole space amounting to six
acres. Located In the center Of the
main building, Immediately opposite
the main entrance, Is the large fountain,
which, with the surrounding floral dis
play, forms the most elegant and attraC-
tive feature in the building. The display
Of each florist is separate and distinct,
and each is, in itself, u special feature.
One of the exhibitors displays rustic
hut. Another has his display beautifully
spread out upon long table. A third
has hOt.housc containing CxOtiCS, while
a fourth display assumes the shape Of n
long pyramid, hung with evergreen
wreaths. An interesting point Of attrac.
ton Is the Chinese Pagoda, in the left
wing Of the building, which Ia rapidly up
preaching completion, and which, when
finished, will be filled with Chinese curl
osities, articles Of Chinese workmanship,
etc. The Art Gallery, at the west end Of
the building, Is not yet open to the pub.
lie, but will doubtless form an immense
attraction when completed. There Is n
fine display OF carriages, harness, hard
ware, glassware, household utensils, agri.
cultural implements, musical instru-
ments, furniture and various other arti-
cles. Although many things entered Tor
exhibition have not yet arrived, the boil
era and engines in Power Hall are in
place, and IL is expected that this build
Ing will be finished early next week.
