A NEGRO RULER.

The violent and sangulnary course OF HIP
polyte. upon which the latest reports from
Hayti throw a vivid light will hardly com
mend republican institutions as illustrated IN
the government of that unfortunate section OF
the globe TO the warm admiration Of civ
ihzed peoples The Hippolyte methods of
disposing Of political enemies have an estab-
lished precedent in the whole previous history
of Havt under negro domination, but these
methods are rather too summary for the
orderly spirit of the present age.
And yet it would not bc surprising if events
disclosed that Hippolyte is showing true po-
litical shrewdness in promptly inauguatins
q vigorous shotgun policy. The recent little
affair on the streets of Port u-Prlnce, IN
which several hundred inhabitants of that
town were murdered by the savage soldiery,
seems to have cxeited a very quoting effect
upon the minds of those who escaped, with
the single exception ofMinister Douglass, WHO
now hardly dares to venture across the
threshold Of the American consulate.
The assassination of six prominent negroes
in Jacme. the account of which as received
from the officers Of vessel which has Just
reached New York from that port is most
sickening in its details, will very probably
oyerawe tho province in which Jacmel is
situated The mumurs Of the people of this
town when they were informed of what had
taken place in Port-au-Prnce were seized
upon as a pretext by Hppolyte for
arresting number Of his personal
enemies who lived not in Jacmel, but at some
distance from it in the country. these enc
mics. so far a. we know. not having taken any
part in the expression of dissatisfaction with
the Port-au-Prince proceedings for the simple
reason that no news Of these proceedings had
reached them The lesson Of ferocious de
termination enforced by their unprovokcd
murder has already had its effect in covering
the Jacmel populace.
Hippolyte has evidently arrived at the con-
| clusion that persuasion and Cancellation are
not the proper means for him to employ to
suppress the rising discomfort among the
Haytens. and we are disposed to agree with
hm that shot and bayonets are much more
likely to confirm him in ms present position
than all the arts of craftsmanship which he can
bring 10 bear. He believes in savage and
reckless force. in brutal murder, in short. and
all the chances are that if lie can escape as
sassnation he will quo down the present OPP
! position 10 his authority.
