San Domingo's President Makes q

nancial Institution.
French Naval officers Land
Force and Take Him Into
Custody.

New YORK, March 30.-The Clyde
line steamship Saginaw arrived from
San Domingo this morning The pas
sengers bring news of the arrest of the
president of San Domingo by French
naval officers in San Domingo City. Ac-
cOlding to the story, the president had
taken $4,000 from French bank, the
manager of which called upon the two
French cruisers lying in the harbOr to
prevent the escape Of the president to
Monte CriSto. whittier he was about to
start 10 quell an insurrection. The
presidents sudden descent upon the
bank was the outcome of legal
suit between him and some
of the French residents invov-
Ing the payment of money. The
case was sent TO a higher court for
Judgment. but apparently this was de-
layed too long &c suit the president So
he ordered out his militia with inStruc-
lions to seize whatever French gold
they could find. The soldiers proceeded
to the bank OH March II, bore down the
doors and blew open the vaults and
carried off S62, 900 III CASH The French
commander on the cruiser was appraised
OF the outrage and sent an armed force
ashore, who captured the president as
he was about to proceed to Monte
CriSt0, place on tue Dominican and
Haytien borders. The president was
neld in custody and word sent to France
regarding the affair. Another French
cruiser is on its way to San Domingo
City with instructions as to now the
case should be disposed of. An indem-
nifty of 100000 was at first demanded,
but this demand was withdrawn pend
ing the arrival of the next French mail.

They put on that committee the man
on whom President LINCOLN called
when the country was in dire distress
for money. and who went down to
Washington and drew the law un-
der which the internal revenue
of the country was collected in
those gloomy days and is collected
yet. That was DAVID A. WELLS. Then
they took the man who succeeded the
lamented MANNING in the treasury
and administered the office so well,
CHARLES S. FAIRCHILD. Then they
added that sturdy, sensible Dutchman,
JACOB SCHOENHoF, who knows more,
practically, about the tariff than did the
whole FIfty-hrst congress; and they put
on JoHN De WITT WARNER, who has
the whole schedules at his tongues end,
and THOMAS G.. SHEARMAN, who has
thought and written and talked tariff
for years. and EVERETT z. WHEELER,
who has tried more tariff lawsuits, and
knows more OF the ms and outs of ii,
than any lawyer in the country; aud
they made ELLERY ANDERSON chair
man of the committee.
