Ono of tho witnesses in the Copiah county
investigation. mill agent ut Wesson. Is said
to have been disposed 10 be friendly with Mr..
lIoAn, Tho Massachusetts Senator wen, down
to New Orleans to have good time and 1t ia
gratifying to be assured that people arc dis
posed to be friendly to him. He has u happy
faculty of making enemies and has used 1t a
great deal.
III the mill agent was disposed to be- friendly.
however. he took rather curious way OF show
ing his fricndincss. He said that he never
discharges the employees in his mills for vot-
ing the Republican ticket This remark must
have becn regarded by Mr. lIoAR as very un-
friendly and insulting. 1t is poko in tho ribs
OF Massachusetts Republcanism. 1t has beon
said that Republican mill owners in that state
do discharge employees who fail TO vote the
Republican ticket

Vengeance on the vanQuished has long
been n familiar sequence of IIayti's civil wars.
and the instruction which has Just been sup
pressed seems TO form no exception to tho
rule. President SALoMoN signalized n recent
visit to J6rtmie. one Of the three ports which
declared for the insurgents. by having several
prominent officials court martialled and shot.
Some partisans OF BAzELAIs seem to have been
despatched. according to the accounts. without
even the formality Of a military trial Tho VIC
tins no doubt knew the prico of failure in re-
bellion which was at best II desperate scheme
oi eNiies to overturn the Government in order
70 put themselves in power. Still, SALoMoN
can afford to show clemcncy. His friends
claim that there is far less butchery of captives
than after former unsuccessful revolts. and
this may be true. while leaving ground for i'm
provement.
That venerable sauran, Col. JIM MAPLE
son, gave a performance out West for the
benefit of the sufferers from the floods SO did
his hated rival. Mr. II. f. ABBEY. MAPLEsoN
charged nineteen hundred dollars for expenses
ABBEY eighty dollars and there Is great deal
of unpleasanness in consequence. 1t does not
show generous spirit to tnke these insidous
advantages. of Col. JIM. ABBEY'- practice OF
paying his singers and his chorus and his
Ndlors and falling to sottle up his benefit per-
formances in his own favor shows him to be
man of narrow views and devoid Of the first
principles which should animate a true i'm
preSario.
Tho witness who suggested to the Senate
Committee Of Nnvigators Yesterday that the
choice lay between backwooI- mariners and
ward politicians for regulators of th!, harbor
socms to have fallen into II confusion Of terms.
Why not between ward mariners and back
woods politicians Or. in tho interests of ex-
actness say between backwoods politicians
| and ward politicians. IL the proposition is
stated merely in this way. no sensible mnn vii!
be long in choosing tho ward politicians. The
city Of New York, With nll its wards upon its
head. is really mora interested in its own har-
Dor than the backwoods are.
