IT will be interesting to watch the result
OF the proposed commission TO Hayti.
Nottingham tile Commissioners might agree
upon with the existing Hayden Govern
ment could be enforced unless our Govern
ment garrisoned the island and kept a
squadron in the harbor OF Port-au.Prince.
And this would be for us too heavy con-
tract 1t would be far worse and more OF
job than II we were to attempt the civ
ilization of tho negroes in the heart OF
Africa. Voudoosm has n firm hold on
the people OF Hayti and the Obi man has
more power than the President OF the Re-
public or any Of his ministers. Chaos pre-
walls socially, confusion relIgiously and
anarchy is supreme in the mountain dis
tricts. What a commission from this coun-
try could effect with people thus condi-
toned II is impossible 10 foreshadow, and
as to its gaining anything like an accurate
knowledge OF affairs, that is out Of the
question. The Hayticns since the publ
cation Of Sir Spencer st. Johnss work
have been on their guard and they regard
all white persons with suspicion, no mat.
ter what their rank or diplomatic relations
with their government. Indeed, in the
interior, they have no respect for Their
government which cannot enforce its laws
II the people are minded to oppose them,
andany white man would take his life in hi:
hands who should attempt TO penetrate to
any OF the interior districts.

MILITARY MATTERS.

The dress uniforms OF the Montgomery
Guards arrived Wednesday evening and
are by far the prettiest that have ever been
worn by any military company in Mem
phis. II is OF gray cloth, deliberately
braided and trimmed in gold and black,
shank OF epaulettes are gray, bordered
with small gold and black cord, and hang
ing from IL is cord alternately gold and
white. The breeches arc gray with q
broad black stripe. Helmet, black, sur
mounted by ten-inch white and black
plume, the white next the helmet. The
figure OF q spread eagle is ON the front and
center OF the helmet with the letters
an. e." in the shield on the bosom OF the
eagle.
Thirty-one OF these uniforms were or
dered. Among the plumes was a bright
red one, which will figure henceforth as
prize worn by he who SURPRISES all rivals
in plume drills, TO be had at stated inter-
walls.
The first OF these drills took place last
night. II was also the first time any OF
the BOYS had been in their new uniforms,
and most OF them in any uniform at all.
There were twenty-four men in line, two
sergeants, one lieutenant and Capt. Lynn.
This was the largest number OF men ever
in line for drill before in the history of the
Guards, and had fine effect in stimulat-
ing effort on the part OF ell. A large num-
Der of the company's friends were also
present to witness the initial plume con.
test. Under the scrutinizng, trained eyes
OF the leutenants the men in line stood up
brayely for some time, going down
in small sections under catch commands
Orderly Sergeant w. w. Barnwell finally
triumphed, and was given rounds of APP
plause by his vanquished comrades. The
plume was presented by Mr.. +. Y. Ander-
son, after which the evening entertain
ment closed.
The Montgomery Guards have not vet
received either their guns or fatigue uni
forms, but have been doing some very
effective practice drilling, all the same.
In this they have received tho warmest
support and encouragement OF the
Merchants Iouaves, who provided them
with guns and gave them free use Of their
armory. They will be proud Of the CO.
operation thus extended at no distant day.
