The promotion Of J. & Durham, Of
Pennsylvania, from u. g. consul at San
Domingo to minister resident and con-
sui general to Hayti, seems to give gen.
eral satisfaction. It he's put IN end to .

made solely With . Wow to create dis
s~atisfaotion among the oolored people.
The present critical condition OF affairs
in Hayti caused the appointment to be
made sooner than it otherwise would
have been. M. Durham 10 said to be
thoroughly familiar with Haytian
Affairs.

to coy on the subject, the imperial de-
cree Of tho emperor Of Germany having
been issued resembling the former pro-
hibitive decree. By the way, Secretary

your advocacy before the house Of rep-
r~eseotatives OF tho Fifty-irst congress

which tho shove result could not have
been obtained" Az Mr.. Hatch il . po-
itical opponent OF the secretary the
writing OF such Q letter makes him al
the moro deserving. There sb0uld be
no politics in tho enlargement Of tho
