IIayti Comes Down.

Two days after Legitime was elected
president of Hayti, he was called upon
by Admiral Luce to surrender "before
9 O'clock tie American steamship,
Haytien Republic.
The demand was per~mptory and to
the end that he would be in a position
n take the vessel, should force be need
ed, he put one of his war ships along
side of the captured vessel and made
fast to her. He had the guns of one
man orwar loaded, manned and trained
upon the town Of Port au. Prince, while
the second came up hroadside on to the
Haytian war vesse! that was in the
harbo-. Had a gun be en- fred by the
Ilaytian authorities, or Admiral Iuce's
demand refused, h. was in a position to
shell the city and pay his very best
compliments to the Haytian man of
war.
Legitlme contrasted the possible
out come Of va!or with the certain re-
suit of prudence and wisely chose the
latter. The vessel was surrendered
and is now in charge of Admiral Luce.
We know nothing Of the Haytian de,
fenses and they must be weak. indeed,
if the poor apology for a navy that the
last twenty five years control of that
branch of the service has furnished us,
was sufficient to frighten her into CIV
ing up the lIaytien Republic.
We are disposed to the belief that
right and Admiral Luce's point blank
yankee demand had more 10 do with
Legitime's prompt scqnleacence, than
fear of the Caena and Yantic.

The Hon. VIM NJ. Springer, Char r
man of the House Committee OF Terri
tories proposes new Names for those OF
the Territories now asking for admls-
sion as States.
Assuming that Dakota will be dlvid'
ed, he suggests that North Dakota
retain the name, Dakota, aud that to
South Dakota be given the name
Winona. For Washington Territory
he suggests the name Laconica. and for
New Mexico he suggests Montezuma.
Dakota, Winona and Montezuma are
pleasant sounding names and ethnolog.
pically accurate; as for Laconlca, it IS
not only lacking in euphony, but when
the citizens of that state are called
Laconics, or even Laconicans, some
thing of the absurd will appear in the
name.
Mr.. Springer has found three good
names, let him look a little further
into his list of indian patronymlcs and
he will be able to replace Laconlca
with something much better.

Washington Letter
ROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT


WAsHlSGToN, DEC. 3lst IS.
The Christmas time is unusually
oniet and orderly in Washington. The
President and Mrs Cleveland ate their
Christmas dinner alone, and everybody
did likewise. Even large family gath
erngs were rare. hope that that
ea.yanic cook who is always trying to
interview someone about 'MrestcrS
Harrison's palate" Was kind to Mees-
ter Cleveland on Christmas day, but |
doubt it. His great gastronomlc mind
is fixed upon the future. To Washing
ton New Year is everything. On this
blessed day the high and mighty may

Importance, to the President after
which the mob can rush in at the pub.
lie reception. Patient, common people
NAV even stand on the sidewalks and
see fine gowns and uniforms galore.
There are women otherwise sensible,
who have not missed the public recep-
tions since Lincoln's time. Every
New Years Day they spend a half
dozen honrs in the madding, pushing,
pulling throng that packs the rooms to
sutfocation. And then they go home
perfectly happy, with ruined dresses.
The expense of the Inauguration ball
together with the alleged evil effects
of dancing, has aroused the ire Of
some local clergymen as we'll as those
of the West. They seem to regard the
ball as a sort of official, National en-
dorsement of the powers of evil, sort
of carnival of sin. 1t may be under
stood by these good people that the bali
is entirely private affair toward which
the Government pays not one dollar.
The people who pay the fiddler there
fore, have only a personal and private
responsibility, and General Harrison
cannot be held as responsible.
A great many stories are told about
Secretary Whitney that serve to leave
a pleasant impression Of the man.
During the last campaign he was wait
upon late in October by "A hungry as
sessmcnt committee with Il do!eful tale
of the imposslbility Of getting the en-
ployes Of the Navy Department to give
shy more money. Secretary had al

The Baltimore Sun publishes an in
ventory of the estate of the late A. S,
Abel, the founder of that paper, that

which was then estimated as high as
thirty-two millions of dollars. The
