MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. We lave dates from Port au Prince, Hayti, to the 27th of February last. Our files of the Momifeur Nationale and the Feuille du Commerce contain full accounts of the cap- ture, ¢rial and execution of several African ruffians and murderers, who brutally assassinated, aud, like cauni+ bals, as they were, devoured the romaias of a poor chi!d called Clatrcine. The uncle, aunt and other rola- tives of the deceased wore concerned in the plot for taking ker young life, and the ties of humanity and consanguinity were of little avail when the spirit of ‘‘Sheah’’ and superstition ied.the way. The ‘trial of the accused parties at Port au Prince occupied several days, and is reported at length in the columas of tho Haytien Monifeur. Tho atrocious crimes of tho per- sons implicated called down apoa them the severest pe- naities of the law. The principal assassins wore oon- demned to be shot, as hanging is not recognized in the “Tavtien constitution.

Awong the few redeeming acts of Congress and the edm{nistration since, the beginning of this terrible war, the proceedings which have resulted in placing Gen. Grant at the head of the armies of tho Union have given the largest measure of satisfaction to the people of the loyal States. We have here a concession to pebdlic opinion which has wonderfully revived the public confidence in the Union cause. The appointment of Gen. Grant to his present posi- tion is accepted by the country asinvolving the displacement of the old blundering Washington Direetory and the substitution of the successful strategy and tactics of Wort Donelaon, Vicks- burg and Chattanooga. Hence the prevailing opinion that the end of the grand campaign upon which we are about to enter will be the end of the rebellion. But the President is still the constitutional Commander-in. ief of the army and the navy, and it depends altogether upon his discretion, or want of discretion, how far the military plans and combinations of General Grant shall prevail. As General-in-Chief, General Scott’s remonstrances were disregarded, and the army of General McDowell was burried forward to that first and most unfortunate defeat at Bull rap. The plans and combinations of General McClellan as General-in-Chief were next upset and changed by the President; and we know how disastrous were the consequences on the Richmond peningula, around Manassas, and at Fredericksburg. Next wé find General Hal- leck washing his hands as General-in-Chief of any responsibility for the misfortunes of the Army of the Potomac uoder General Hooker. Thus it will be seen that neither Scott, Mc- Ciellan nor Halleck, at the head of the armies, yas permitted to fight his own battles, but all three were Constrained to fight the battles of their Commander-in-Chief, who ; Aad never set a squadron in the fold, Nor the divisions of 9 battle know. ‘The question then recurs, is General Grant seoure against the spoiling of his plans by the interference of the President with some of his brilliant discoveries in the art of the war? We cannot téll, though we incline to the opin- ion that General Grant will be supported with- out embarrassing instractions. We guess: that he has accepted his promotion and its vast re- Bponsibilities with this understanding. In any event it is now the manifest policy aot less than the duty of the administration to confide in the snperfor military abilities of General Grant, and cordially to support him. Complete success in his great missfon, although it may be the eleventh hour of the day, will crown the administration with undying glory; but another profitiess cam- paign will be fatal to the administration and a death blow to President Lincoln as 4 caudidate for another term. He may receive the Balti- mora nomination; th may be a general fnalon of the republican factions {2 bis support; = ee ae Zimian ra sags ll have but if during tne cou.cg 42 mer we sm = obtained no decisive victories-over fhe rebel- lion, nothing bettor than the proswect of another thousand millions to our nat al debt, and all the severe exactions that may be required for another yoar of war, then the ignomineous defeat of Abraham Lincoln before the people will be sure to follow. His politi- oal fortunes, not less than the great cause of the country, are in the hands of General Grant, and the failure of the General will be the over- throw of the President The military distinction which General Grant, through his great victories, bas achiev- ed, rests npon a solid foundation of public confidence. The peopic entertain no doubt of his success if permitted to conduct this campaign in his own way. Their only fear is that, through the vanity of President Lincoln a3 4 military genius, or throngh some malign political infuences, General Grant may be engineered into some disaster, like Mo- Clellan, or worried into a resignation, like Fremont. Let the administration and all con- cerned beware of such impediments to the pa- ramount work of the suppression of the rebel- lioa, We must aee ony way clearly to this con- summation before we can count upon Presi- dential candidates, or political victories. or anything so far of a9 next November. - With our present financial system we are all in the same boat, foating down gayly in the swift, smooth water which ushers as into the rapids of Niagara, Bat the breakers ave before us, and we hear the sullen roar and see the smoke from the dreadful gulf beyoaod them. Our only dope is in our trusty pilot at the heim. Thet pilot, under Providence, and by the will of the people, is General Grant; and we look upon the administration as among the instruments plaeed in bis bands for our deliverance. Tho people recognize the sitnation and the man for the crisis, Tho administration, in the conduct of the war, has been thoroughly tried, and found waoting—wanting in military fore- sight, wanting in common sense, wanting in almost everything essential to success, except an overwhelming superiority in mallitary forces and resources. General Grait has also been thoronghly tried in the West, aad comes out of the oracible like burnished gold, Let the ad- ministration stand back, then, and give General Grant a clear field and a feir trial in the Bast and the West, and there will be “no such word aa fail.’” Boroane ow Lovasor.— We notice that sevoral newspapers and Congressmen’ are exhausting the English language in evlogiviag the genius andthe statesmanship and the «patriotism of Owen Lovejoy, deceased. We cannot join in those eulogies. We ace no reason why people should begin to tell Sattering falsehoods about aman the moment he is “dead. Lovejoy was one of those radical men, like Pym of the Rump Parliament and Danton of the French Revolu- tion, who do 4 great dea! more harm than good in the world, and whose epitaph should be “The evils thoy have done tive ‘after them,” Poaterity never praives Pym and Danton, and it Will no8 praise Lovejoy.

Seward, proposing 4 fresh front in the way of settling our national difficulties, and involving gome sort of new basis for the emancipation of the slaves. On the 22d of September, 1862, Mr. Lincoln issued a proclamation téndoring pecuniary aid to the owners of slaves in the States in rebel- lion, providing they would emancipate them or colont% them in some part of the continent, or elsewhere, and @lgo proclaiming that on ‘the Istof January ensuing all persons beld as slaves in whole or in parts of rebellious States should be declared free. This proclamation was fortified by Congressional acts, incorporated in “additional articles of war,” which prohibited the army «md navy of the United States from the employment of their power to retyrn fugi- tive slaves escaped from their rebellious owners. On the Istof January, 1863, the promised proclamation of emancipation appeared. Parts of two States were exempted, viz:—Louisi- ana and Virginia, In all the others in re- bellion—Arkansas, Texas, Mississippi, Alaba- ma, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina—the dlaves were declared free, and the army and navy required to maintain them in their freedom. Accompanying Mr. Lincoin’s messagg to Congress, dated on the 8th of December, 1863, appears another emancipation proclamation, but with a proviso of amnesty. In this: amnesty provision Mr. Lingola includes an oath of alle- giance which removes the disabilities ander which some ‘slaveowning rebels labored, and agives them the opportunity of ao appeal to the Supreme Coart of the United States for a restoration of their rights to property in slaves, and also to the advan- tages that would accrue to them bya repeal or modification of the emancipation laws passed by Congress. In this proclamation authority was given to persons in certain States, num- bering not less than one-tenth of the voters thereof, to re-establish a State goverament; and it .was announced that any enact- ment of such States relative’to the freed people therein, who are described as “a laboring, landless and houseless class,” would not be objected to by the national Executive. Sues another proclamation, in which he pro- ceeds to define the cases in which “insurgent enemies” are entitled to the benefita of the amnesty offered in his proclamationof Decem- ber 8, 1863. In this new edict tHousands of people hitherto active rebels, but now either in captivity in the United States or de jure and de facto non-combatants, are deprived of the benefits of Mr. Lincoln’s amnesty. Executive clemency ia offered; but what would Executive or any description of clemency amount to if | those who were to be the recipients of it were to be deprived by ex post facto proclamations of ‘the advantages to be derived from an ac- ceptance of the original terms of the amnesty? What are the public to judge from this, wriggling and tergivergation on the part of ‘ our public schools. By this bill the city is di- vided into seven school districts, each of which shall elect one school commissioner for a térm of three years. Seven other gchool commis- sioners are'to be appointed by the Mayor, sub- ject tothe approval of the-Board of Education, which will thus be constituted of fourteen members. But the whole Board will not go out at any one time, as the elected members wilt hold office for three years, while those ap- pointed by the Mayor will hold for only one. The change that will thus be effected:in tho body that has the principal charge of our pub- lic schools is not deep enough. It does not remedy or even touch the real evil. It charges the manner in which the Board shall be made, but does not change the material that it is to be made of. It still leaves the public schools in the bands of the city politicians. Any method of selection is good enough with the right kind of men, and no method of selection will be an improvement if it will permit the choosing, as this bill will, of the same class of men who have hitherto held these places. The real trouble with our publio schools is that they are in the hands of the grogshop politicians. The distribution of the places of trust in our educational system is de- cided in the groggeries of our clty, and our public schools are under the control of men whose education, associations, habila and modes of thought are those of the groggeries. Hence the corruptions we have seen in them. No change will be of any value except it takes the selection of the Board of Kduca- tion altogether: out ‘of the. political squabblos of the city—end even out of the city. Let there be a publio school board appointed—aa the Police Board is, and aa the Regents of the University are—by the Governor and the Sen- ate, and let this board gytirely control the schools, and thé changd will he of aoma valua. No Governor would appoint to sucha noble eq sorgeenle tual soy bre 8 cieen most unimpeachable o! ter, abd we woul thus have upon this board the real requisites of auch a board—men of the highest respectabili- ty and honor in tho community. There is not the remotest hope that we cay get sack men in suoh places‘in.any other way. Tas Assoorten Press Acam.—In the. Sen- ate,on Monday Inst; a very interesting debate occurred between Sevators Sherman and Wil- kingon, in the course of which the administrar tion was pretty thoroughly reviewed. Mr Shermar is a gedtlewan of sense and educa- tion, and Mr. Wilkinson, who belongs to the border ruffian school of oratory, bad no chance against him in the debate.
