LIVELY TIMES IN HAYTI. They are
having rather interesting times in Hayti.
The latest dispatches from Port au
Prince say that recently while President
Solomon was returning to the capital
from visit to the interior of the isl
and, he was waylaid and attacked by
seven men who attempted to assassinate
him. They we're overpowered and ar
rested by the Presidents guard. A sec
ond attempt was made on the Presidents
life after he had reached the city, and
two of the Governors of interior prov
inces were also attacked by concealed
foes on the same day. Notwithstanding
Hayti entered upon the seventy eighth
year of her independence with rejoicings
and festivities. A lively little republic.

THE PROPOSED INDEPENDENT TELE

THE PROPOSED INDEPENDENT TELE
GRAPH CONPANY-The movement started
in Chicago for an Independent telegraph
company between that city and New
York is looked upon with favor by the
members of the New York Produce Ex-
change, who say there need be no delay
in obtaining subscriptions. Several OF
them have expressed their willingness to
raise 81. 600, 900, if necessary, to put
such line in operation. Mention was
made of an independent line, owned by
merchants in New York, Chicago and Mil
waukee, running from Chicago to Mil
waukee, upon which the charges for
messages are ten cents for ten words.
The earnings gave profit to the stock
holders last year of 400 per cent. 1t is
intended to continue this line to St.
Louis, which, in connection with the new
line proposed. will give line from three
cities to New York. 1t is believed that
connections will be made with other
trade centres both East and West.

New York Sun: with that foresight
for feathering his nest, which has always
distinguished him, the outgoing Ohio
man at the White House is doing his
best to conciliate and put under obliga-
ton the incoming Ohio man, SO that in
due time he may receive his reward. 1t
is well understood that Hayes expressed
his willingness and eagerness to appoint
as Ancient Mariners successor somebody
acceptable to Garfield, and thus to form
link between the Cabinet Of Fremont
and the Cabinet OF Mentor. Now he
has gone further. He has put
Judge Advocate General Dunn on the
retired list. so that to the vacancy
thus created be could nominate Judge
Advocate David G. Swain, of Ohio.
Major Swain was not the senior Of the
candidates for the vacancy. His nomi-
nation to it, on Monday. was, neverthe-
less, foregone conclusion. from the fact
that he is, by all odds. Garfeld's closest
friend in the army. This Hayes knew,
as does everybody IN Washington; and
hence Hayes. IN the last weeks of his
term, created a vacancy apparently in
order to recommend himself to Garfeld's
gratitude.

The Ohio Republican papers, which
have come to imagine that the United
States Government and the officers
thereof were created for the benefit and
behoof Of the State of Ohio, are already
telling Dir. Garfield that he may as well
make up his mind TO stay in the White
House eight years-that nothing need
stand between him and second term
and that if he shall adopt and pursue
wise policy he surely viii be his own
successor. Nothing" says the Cincin-
natl Gazette, "but great failure in Gen.
Garfeld's administration could subject
the Republican party to the calamity of
an agitation for another candidate in
short four years In eight years will be
soon enough, and not too soon to raise
the question Of another candidate. Let
US have peace.
This, says the St. Louis Republican,
SIS the proper way for the President
elects friends to talk. Every Republican
President elected has been accorded
two terms, and there is no reason why
Dir. Garfield should not claim the honor
as prescriptive right. OF course the
aspirants would object to it, but what
can they do to prevent it? Dir. Blaine
is disposed Of by his forthcoming ap-
pointment to the Secretaryship Of State.
and as to General Grant and Dir. Conk-
ling, with their respective friends, they
are no match for a clever man in the
White House with the whole Federal
patronage in his hands. 1t is now gen.
orally admitted that either there was
no bargain at Mentor between
Gen. Grant. Mr.. Conkling and
Mr. Garfield, or, if one was
made. i; does not bind the chief party
to it. In rewarding his friend, Blaine,
who was the conspicuous opponent of
the third term at Chicago, Mr.. Garfield
shows that he cares nothing for the ex-
President and his friend Conkling, and
does not share any understanding that
he is to be forerunner to prepare the
way for the third term in 1884 In other
words, the signs point to determine
ton on the part of Mr.. Garfield to be in
dependent of outside dictation-to be
master Of his party rather than ser
want Of it. He will seek a second term
and aim to secure it by policy that will
give him an advantage over all opponents
in his own party.

The ballot act of Great Britain. passed
in 1872, terminated with the past year,
and in cnacting q new law on this sub
ject it is confidently predicted that
Parliament viii extend the electoral
privilege and reform some Of the abuses
that have existed under the old laws.
One of the changes proposed is that the
electors shall bear the expenses OF cleo
tons instead of the candidates, as at
present. As the law now stands candi-
dates for seats in Parliament must bear
all the expenses of an election, it being
conducted under their control, the gov
eminent having nothing to do with it.
The candidates pay all election officials
and count the votes. and under this sys
tenn running for seat in Parliament is
q very expensive proceeding. It has
been ascertained by experience
that the secret ballot does not
secure the independence of the
voter or prevent bribery and intimids.
ton. In fact. corruption has prevailed
to such an extent in British elections that
the Parliamentary candidate is generally
considered a fat pigeon for everybody to
pluck. Not a great while ago number
of members were unseated because bril-
berry had been so openly employed in
their cleo ion that it could not be ignored.
By putting the elections under govern
ment control, and providing, as in this
country, the most stringent penalties
against bribery and intimidation. 1t is
believed the evil can, at least, partially
be remedied The Liberals also talk of
abolishing the present unjust discrimi-
nation in representation, between Dor
oughs, counties, cities and universities,
whereof rural districts get more mem
bers in proportion to population than
cities. and of establishing regular dis
tricts upon the plan of our Congressional
districts for Parliamentary representa-
ton.

that Hartland, with 643 inhabitants, has

THE NEW APPORTIoNMENT BILL
1t is said that the Republicans will op-
pose the reapportionment bill, fixing the
number of members under the tenth
census, which was reported to the House
on Monday. They declare that the ma
jority bill gives the Southern States
twelve additional members, and the
Western and Northern States receive,
under its provisions, only six additional
members. While there is some objec-
ton among Republicans to the minority
bill fixing the number of Representa-
tives at three hundred and nineteen, they
say it at least possesses the merit of fair
ness, dividing the gains squarely among
the sections. The Democrats having a
quorum of their members present, are
disposed, after allowing reasonable time
for debate, to pass the majority measure.
The Republicans, however, intend to
debate the question of restriction of suf-
frage in the South, and hope 10 consume
enough time On that subject in both
Houses to prevent final action on the bill
this session.

a Washington correspondent Of the
Augusta Chronicle is unhappy because
the course Of the Democrats in opposing
the bill to retire Grant with a big title
and a fat salary for life, and
the urging the adoption of the
joint rule prescribing the con
stitutiOnal method of counting the
electoral vote, is calculated to give
offense to the Radicals. That is bad.
But it not unfrequently happens that in
maintaining sound Democratic princi-
pies and measures, the Democrats are
compelled to go counter to the views and
wishes Of their Radical opponents. This
being the case. until some better argu
ment is adduced. we can see no good
reason why the Democrats should sur
render their convictions of right and
duty, by which alone their action:
should be governed.

Resignation Of Mr. Justice SWayne

The resignation of Mr.. Justice Swaync,
of the Supreme Court of the United
States, was handed TO Mr.. Hayes on Tues
day, and Hon. Stanley Matthew'S has been
nominated to the seat thus vacated. Mr..
Matthews was one of the visiting states
men who went to Louisiana to watch
the action of the returning board of that
State, and was charged at the time and
subsequently with taking special and
personal interest in the matter, and he
subsequently made an argument be-
fore the electoral commission at
Washington in which he insisted on
the validity of the election of Presi-
dent Hayes, and that the commission
had 10 power to go behind the
returns. Although the nomination
has been made, the question
still remains as to whether it
will be confirmed by the Senate. That
ordeal he has yet to pass. With the re-
tirement Of Justice Swsyne the only re-
naming member of the Supreme Court
from Ohio is Chief Justice Waite, and
it may probably be thought by the Sen
ate that as Ohio has been given already
so many offices the nomination of an
eminent jurist from some other State to
succeed Justice Swayne would be de-
sirable. Two other nominations will
also, in all probability, have to be made
before long. as the physical condition of
Justices Clifford and Hunt precludes, it
is said, the possibility of their ever re-
suming their seats on the bench.

THE EARTHQUAKE IN MAINE,
How It Affected the People of Rath
and VIeinity-SIIght TremOr In
Lewiston and Auburn.
Bath tEe.) Times. Jan. 81


Last night at $40 an earthquake
shock was plainly felt by the majority
of the people in the city. Many were
startled from sleep by the unusual and
mystifying sound and jar, the cause of
which they could not satisfactorily ex-
plain other than by attributing it to an
earthquake or explosion. To people
who had not retired and were sitting
quietly in their houses, the sound ap
peared somewhat like thunder, faint at
first, but gradually increasing in volume,
accompanied by rafting, not just like
anything else, but somewhat such a
noise as if chains were being dragged
roar increased in intensity, houses were
felt to vibrate, light ornaments on
shelves were seen to move. The climax
was reached in loud explosive sound,
the whole not occupying more than four
or five seconds. Some described the
sound like the rolling of table or bed
on casters, gathering strength as it
moved, and coming in collision with the
wall with sudden and loud conclusion.
1t might also have sounded like balls
in the famous game of nine pins wit
sessed by Rip Van Wrinkle in the Adiron-
dack Mountains. People coming in
from the country report like expert
ences. In the Ireland district of the
town, Mr.. George F. Wright, a milk
man, reports that his family were
startled from slumber by the noise
and vibration accompanying it,
which was quite plainly felt. At
Harding's Station the shock manifested
itself in like manner, ard from parties
living well.nigh TO Brunswick we hear
similar reports. 1t has been some years
since an earthquake shock has been felt
in this vicinity, and in intensity and
clearness none, so far as we know, has
equaled this. The disturbance seems to
have been confined to a very small area,
however, as far as already known, as
neither in Portland nor Augusta, on
either side of it, is mention made of the
phenomenon in the local papers of this
morning. The shock was noticed in the

An International Exhibition at HAD

ria.
Spain is to have an international ex-
hibition, to be opened in Madrid in Sep
TENDER, 1882, and to be kept open for an
entire twelvemonth. AS that will carry
it into 1888, when the New York Worlds
Fair is to be held, it may to some extent
compete with the American enterprise.
1t is to be, to all intents, a government
undertaking, the management being vest
ed in Royal Commission, consisting of
several members of the aristocracy, DO
litical and other influential personages,
with Don Manuel Sllvela, Vice President
of the Upper House of Representatives.
The late Minister for Foreign Affairs
will act as President of this Commission.
Among the many propositions made by
various foreign houses for the con
struction Of the needed buildings,
that which appears to have the
best chance Of acceptance is from
the plans prepared by NJ. Coli
bert, architect to Queen Isabella, in con-
junction with Mr.. G.. NJ. Stewart, of
Westminster. The expectation is that
this project will materially assist in the
much needed work of reviving Spanish
industry and Spanish business enter
prise. Spain has the reputation OF being
at this time the most unprogressiVe couE-
try in Europe, but her determination to
have an international display may be ac-
cepted as an indication that she is at last
disposed to wake up and to cultivate a
larger business relationship with the out
side world. This in turn may lead to a
less barbarous tariff system, and the en-
enlargement of railroad and Geographic
enterprise, respecting which the Span
iards are about as much behind the times
as the Turks or the Chinese.
