Vessels Seized,

New YORK, Nov. 16.-Messrs. Mes
senger and Co., Of Maiden Lane, re-
ceiving the following letter from the
captain of one of their vessels at
Porte-au-Priuce yesterday, and in
view Of the serious nature OF the COM
munication they have forwarded it to
the state department at Washingt On,
with the request that Minister Bay
ard order another gunboat to go to
Hayti at once. The northern parts
are all blockaded in open violation of
international law, and the widest
disorder prevails in Porteau-Prince.
Both parties are partial to assasslna-
ton and Gen. Telemaque was basely
assassinated and were it not
for this he certainly would have
been elected and there is no
doubt that he would have
served the people faithfully. Porte

alone are in favor of General Legitime.
The rest of the country have declared
for Gen. Hippolite.

she is detained as a prize. This
seizure was made several miles out at
sea, and the captain of the William
Jones has protested against this
illegal seizure to Minister Thompson.
Other American vessels canno5 get
their clearance papers, and those
which will be permitted II depart,
will have t. return to the United
States in ballast.

The Next Federal Census.

New York P ess.
Unless vitiated by fraud the next
census will rob the once solid south of
much of it's representative power.
This power was relatively increased
by the census of 1880, not because the
population of the south had Increased
more rapidly than in the northern
states, but because the census of 1870
had, under the old system of enumera-
ton by United States marshals, been
imperfectly taken. In some southern
states the returns were tar below the
actual number of Inhabitants, aud
hence tie cOrrC 1t enumeration of 1880
showed an abnormal increase in
several southern states. In cOuse-
sequence of this our southern friends
will not be able II count on anything
like the relative increase of congress
sional representation bevTeen 1880
and 1890 that came to their lot
between 1870 and 1880. The great in
crease will be in the northwestern
states, and in the territories which
the republican party has pledged
itself to convert into living parts of
the Union. For these reasons, and
because the tariff system is yearly
becoming of more Importance to the
new industrial south, the republican
victory of last Tuesday will go a long
way toward breaking up the solid
south and destroying all sectional
feeling.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
SACRAMENTO, October 1s.-This morn
ing there was received at the bank of
ID. o. Mills q 90. cipher dispatch from
the Farmers & Merchants Bank OF Los
Angeles, asking that 500 be paid Wells,
Fargo q Co. on account OF 0. H. Bliss
When the money was rendered the COM
pany's agent, Tracy refused it on account
of not knowing Bliss, and there being
nothing in the transaction for the COM
pany he represents. About noon young
man put in his appearance at the bank
and introduced himself as o. H. Bliss,
and stated that he desired the money
authorized to be paid him. Cashier
Miller said that Identification would be
necessary, and the stranger, after sign
ing the receipt, took it with bim with
the avowed intention of securing
second name on it. He soon re.
turned and exhibited the receipt, which
now bore the name of G. F. Gardner
as witness. Cashier Miller's suspicious
being aroused, he detained the alleged
Mr.. Bliss on some pretext while the
clerk was dispatched to the Office of
Gardner. The latter declared he had
never known Bliss, and the latter was
thereupon lodged in the city prison on
the charge OF forgery.
The forgery of Gardner's name is a
clumsy attempt. A copy of the genuine
signature was obtained by Bliss by writ
ing from the Western Hotel where he
was stopping to MIR. Gardner, that 0.
When Gardner called Mr.. Bliss
left note with his name appended. At
the station house the forger admitted
his guilt. He is aged about So, is dark,

decided German accent and is apparently

this evening. Beyond welcoming you
here in the best terms at my command,
l do not see that there is much to be
said. You are all Republicans, and no
arguments, therefore, are needed,
either to convert you to those
principles or to strengthen your waver-
ing faith in them, and it so happens
that in the party there are no questions
upon which Republicans differ. There is
nothing in our platform that calls for
guarded explanations or diplomatic ex-
cuses, a.. and there are neither
party cliques nor sections nor fac
tions. Therefore we have no politics
to talk about this evening. We can at
least felicitate ourselves and others upon
the harmony which pervades the Repub-
lican party and the element OF strength
which such unity of sentiment and
purpose so closely betokens. You proba-1
bly, know that the Republicans
of every other county in this State are
working in as complete harmony as this
With this harmony, this unanimity of
sentiment and action, what is the result
that we may reasonably expect to achieve
at the polls? There are among you many
who spent the flower of your youth
in the battle for freedom, and you can
practically estimate the value OF close
masses when entering a conflict. Your
experience will teach you that organiz-
ations such as the large number present
to. night, are effective and power
full agencies in a political |
campaign, but, my friends, industry
and personal work is equally important |

reaching effect on the future prosperity
OF the country. The absorbing question |
at this time is whether that verdict
will favor the advance of those principles
OF protection for which the Republicans
have always contended and which have
placed this country at the head of the
industrial Nations. With such complete |
harmony in our ranks. such unison in
sentiment, in action and in expectation,
we may await the verdict with confident
assurance.
