HE TREATY REGARDING THE EVACUATION. eee Diplomacy of the Spanish Gov- ernment, Ree Rey @ur St. Demingo Correspondence. Sr. Dominco, July 12, 1865. Permit one who has been no inactive spectator of the events described to state to the American people in what ‘way your Monroe doctrine has been.attacked and defend- edat St. Domingo. dt is a matter of history that Spain, taking advantage ef the internal troubles of the United States, made an os- ‘Yentatious parade of her contempt for the Monroe doo- twine by taking possession of the territory of the Domin- ean republic in May, 1861. Pedro Santana, then Presi- Gent of the republic, in conjunction with his Secretaries of State, War and Marine and two leading generals, had managed to collect the public arms in the forte of St. Do- mingo, into which were privately introduced bodies of ‘Spanish soldiers; and, so prepared, the authority of the ‘Queen of Spain was declared by a coup d'état. The members of the Dominican Senate and Judiciary Jodged a protest in the hands of an American officer, but the document was afterwards withdrawn from a fear that & might reach the hands of the Spanish Minister at ‘Washington. Spain rewarded Santana with the title of Marquis, and a pension of $25,000 a year for life, which ‘was cut down to $12,000 after two years. . Twoor three attempts were made to revolt during the ‘very iret year of Spanish domination, but they were Promptly quelled, and about fifteen months passed in ap- parent calm; but meanwh le the old officials of the Dominican republic were busy in secret preparations, THE DOMINICANS CAST OFF THE SPANISH YOKE. ‘The people bought arma, formed into bands, had their thanness ready;and finally, in August, 1862, displayed the White the republic near the Haytien fron- ‘ter, and declared war on their Spanish invaders. The Bpanish affected to treat it as a mere tumultuous up- sising of a few border villages of blacks; but there was ‘mo distinction of color in the united Dominican opposi- ton to Spanish rule. The insolence and exactions of ‘the Spanish officials were equally unendurable to blacks and whites; and before 1863 had well set in it was evi- @ent that Spain could only retain the Dominican terri- ‘ory by the wholesale extermination of the Dominican @eople. At first the leading Spaniards were pleased with ‘the prospect of a general confiscation of Dominican ‘estates in their favor; but the capture of Santiago, Mohca, Asua .and San Cristoval aroused them tothe fact that @he-entire country was held by the rebels. With the ex eeption of four fortified camps, the citadel of Puerta Plata, and the walled city of St. Domingo, Spain had melonger a square league of Dominican soil under her Juriediction. The republic had its seat of government at Santiago, from whioh it had expelled the Spanish garrison at the painful cost of laying their own beautiful homes in ashes. Samana, the finest harbor in the West Indies, which ought to be, and some day will be, the @reat mai] and naval centre of the American tropics— ‘Bomans, | say, was strongly fortified, and in these forti- Beations the Spanish garrisons were kept enclosed for ‘wo years. They are but now leaving the country they Mailed to subjugate. ‘THe DOMINICAN MISSION TO WASHINGTON, ‘When the Dominican government found iteelf re- stored to the possession of its entire territory—except the fortified exceptions I have already named—and in the fall exercise of its rightful supremacy over the whole Body Of the Dominican people, except those which Spain eld like prisoners of war within her fortified lines and eovered by the guns of her war ships, then a Dominican @mvoy was sent to the United States ona mission of the Rhighest importance to both countries. This mission re- lated to the protection due the citizens of the United Staten who had the misfortune to Bnd their persons aud finteresta included within the Spanish Imes, where they ‘were weffering roinous persecutions, This mistion alo felated to a friendly arrangement, by which the destruc. ‘ton of American property by rebel privateers might have been almost entirely obviated in these seas, and it welated finally to the honorable application of the re- Monroe doctrine—all of which objects could been secured by the simple recognition of the undeniable fact that the Dominican republic and ordering some of the United States war g cruising about Havana to ook Domingo and Samana once in two Spain could no more object to fee rey ; |, nat only many eitizens have esc the persecutions inderers, but the terrible Alabama might perhaps with her British coal-tenders at inican envoy, the bearer of profiers American name and cause, could on obtain even the decent courtesy of a hearing at Tashi and he returned to us at Santiago with the that Spanish influence was supreme Cabinet.

Our Saratoga Correspondence. SaRatoGa Sprivas, August 12, 1865. ‘THE LARGEST AND GRANDEST BALL ever given at Saratoga was that at the Union Hotel last evening. The immense dining hall was set apart for the Purpose, and at least fve bundred persons participated in the dancing. The exhibition of dress and jewels was magnificently fine, and, as the whirling eddies of dancers revolved around the room, the coup d’qil from the music stand was that of a sea of diamonds, pearls, crystals, gold, Gimy lace and rustling satin. A number of distin- guished guests were present, among them Generals Blair and Bartlett, and many of the most famous in literature, the judiciary and the Legislature. Messrs. Charles and W. W. Lelana were present throughout the evening, and devoted themselves earnestly to rendering the ball a Pleasure to every person in the room, a work which they succeeded in perfectly, if the complete harmeny of the affair and the encomiums since passed upon it are any criterion, Where so many elegantly dressed ladies were assembled your reporter's task in selecting a few, as de. monstrative of the brilliancy of the occasion, is no easy one, Washington forbidding the seMing of any more govern- ment property, and itis said and believed that a war with France relative to the expulsion of Maximilian from Mexico and involving other European Powers is im- minent. These rumors have found their way thronghout the State, and great excitement everywhere prevails upon the dubjést of & Toreign War, FIGHTING FOR THE SPOILS. The covtest for the St. Louis Post Office still goes on between the Brown and Blair wings of the republican party with unabated vigor. B. Gratz Brown heads the radical portion of the party, claims to represent all the vitality and backbone it possesses, and is zealously seconded by the St. Louls Demoorat, Blair, who was the old-time radical leader of Missouri republicanism, finds himsel’ thrust into a conservative position in local as well ag national politics since the war, but appears to still retain the confidence and support. of bis old ad- herents. ‘he German radicals were greatly disaffected toward him during the last political campaign, but have been reconciled, and are now his warmest supporters. Blair's candidate for the Post Office is the present incum- vent, Foy, which gives him an additional advantage. There is little likelihood of Foy’s removal, THE PRESIDENTIAL SUMMER RESIDENCE, Georgetown Heights, selected a4 a summer resid for President Johneon and family, has been deemed too far from the Executive office by the President. The family having expressed « preference for the Old Sol- diers’ Home, it i probable that place will be fitted up for their reception. RESIGNATION OF THE COMMISSIONRR OF PATENTS. Hon. David P.

(Washington (August 9) correspondence of Cincinnati Gazette.) Some of the newspapers huve had x great deal to say about the “revolt of the radicals’ against the Presi dept’s supposed policy of reorganization. They would be still more concerned if they should hear of President Johneon’s revolt against the same policy. ‘That there has been a wideepread apprehension in the administration party on the subject of the “provisional governments” everybody knows. That for a time thir to an apprehension, less general (and lees now than month ago), concerning President Johnson himeelf, is undeniable. But I doubt if there ever was any sufficient caupe for it; and feel sure thai if such demonstrations as Wade Hampton's and Governor Perry's continue, tliere will be, by the meeting of Congress, hove whatever. Some remarks made last uight a conspicuous Cab: inet officer on the subject go Tight to the bottom of the distrust referred to, 1 had been speaking of it aud finally eaid: ‘‘What the supporters of the administration ‘want to be assured of is that the President has vo inten- tion Of pursuing the provisioual government policy, if between this and the meeting of Congress it thould be found to work badly.” “On that score,” replied the Cabiuet officer, “there need be, 1 am convinced, no fear whatever.” “Will the President then give his jnfluence in favor of son eee ey” “Petwonally the Presideut is at least not hostile to negro suftrage. You know what he said to Chase, subsequently to Sumner. . I do not and believe he bas in this or in any other aspect of the reorganization question, changed his opinions an jota since he firts ex- pressed them. But he believes now, as then, that the general government cannot interfere in deter. mining who shall be voters in a State. If, therefore, the States should come up next December, ys, top 4 reorganized in every particular save that of negro suf- e, that alone-will not be sufficient to keep the admin- istration from giving its indaence to the admission of their Senators and Representatives.” “So much is generally understood. But if the present of affairs in the rebel States should continue—if it whould be evident that the late rebelx were still practi- cally at the head of the government, would the almost all powerful executive influence then go into the lobbies of the House to force this or that obstinate member to vote for the admission of these representatives ?”’ “Not unless they had definitely accepted the absolute abolition of elavery and adopted the coustitutional amendment. ‘Those two things are & sine qua non.” “But that does not cover the case. Everything now points to the success at all the Southern elections of the party Jed by the rebel veterans. Everybody knows that these men do not want to be taxed for the debt incurre by us in their subjugation. It is im the nature of thi that they should want it repudiated, or their own wi debt acknowledged; and the present denials of any pur- pose of the deceive no one.

One of those rare and curious casés involving the good name and fame of wealthy and influential families, and which seem purely incidental to metropolitan life, was brought to light by the police last evening. The case bad becp on at Jetferson Market Police Court on Saturday, before Justice Led- with, It then appeared as a simple case of abandon- ment, in which the actors were peoplé of no pretonsions either to wealth or social position. Some develépments were made, however, which put an entirely different aspect on the affair; but as the publication would have done some damage in the way of preventing a certain guilty party being brought to justice, it was suppressed, at the request of Mr, Inspector Dilks, until that party could be arrested. This being accomplished last even- ing, the public bave a right to the facts as they now appear from affidavits and the history given by the police, The names of the parties are suppressed in this issue at the earnest request of an injured wife. They must all hecome public property, however, in # few days, at the ‘arthest, Some fifteen years ago, in one of the departments at Washington, a young man was employed whose proper initial is G., and whé was thé’ son of a well known merchant of New York, who amassed the fortune of a millionaire, Young G. had graduated with honor to himself and credit to one of the first colleges in the coun- try; was very handsome, extremely oat ma to the other sex, and had been given a position at Wa\hington, more to keep him, if possible, out of miscMef than for any pecuniary advantage to himself, ‘The niece of an Ex-President of the United States, and at that time the belle of Washington, became infatuated with him to such an extent that he had only to offer his hand to her to be at once accepted. This beantiful and accomplished lady had a most benign in¥ fluence over the young man, and ina short time they were married. * For some years they lived together in the utmost harmony. In an evil hour young G. be- came interested in a popular operatic sitiger, then. ex- citing public attention throughout the country, and whosé brother has become distinguished as a brigadier genoral in the war for the Union, and who is also a leader in politics in the city of Brooklyn. So thoroughly did Mr. G. become infatuated with this party that he lavished most extraordinary sums of money on her. Mra. G. soon became aware of this intimacy and implored her husband to forego the illicit passion, but her pleadings were’ in vain. Old Mr. G, was finally informed of the facts in the case by tho young wife, and was highly incensed. He informed hie son that unless be.at once abandoned his intimacy with the caniatrice not one dollar of his milhons should ever find its way into bia pockets, These threats were as ineffectual as the wife's pleadings. The father carried them into exe- oution, however, and disinherited the son. . Some three yeurs ayo the elder G. died, leaving a will which deprived the son of vight to his property. The ‘latter still continued to pursue ‘bis passion, regardless, of all conse- quences. He finally left Washingtou, and took up his residence in Baltimore. _ Bere he became involved with certain parties of secession procilyities, incurred the dis- leasure of the War Department, and, by ordér of its orn waa arrested and locked up in the Old Capitol. ‘His coufinement lasted two years The cause for it, how- ever, does not appear. As soon as he was released he left his family and went to Camada. Here he ames a new project with which to amuse himself, and, trough a matrimonial advertisement in the Canadian papers, open- ed a cor ndence with several young ladies in the pee gg Nothing of particular moment seems to ave resulted from this. But bis style and man- ner at the hotel commended him to the especial favor of a young lady of Niagara, Canada West, known as Mrs. F. D. BE. An intimacy soon sprung up between the parties, who met for the first tie on the public walk fronting the Trinity church, Montreal. The history of Mrs. E. is stranger and stocked with more romastic inci- dents than those connected with the career of @. Only twenty-three years of age, possessed of great personal charms, educated and highiy accomplished, she had the misfortune to be forced into a marrage by her father with @ man her senior by twenty-five years. This wa: major in the British army for whom Mrs. E. conceiv after marriage a most intense dislike, For this reason she was ready for an alliance with one of dashing appe ance like G. An elopement was agreed upon be- tween, the parties, G. representing himself as pos- sessed of ample means, and they proceeded to Saratoga Springs, Clifton, New Jersey, and finally to this city. lere they put up at the Lafarge Hotel, as man and wife; but 6. ‘faving become tired apparently of his new flame, bad his baggage removed to No, 107 Wa- verley place, preparatory to leaving the hotel himself. He informed the Indy that he was obli Philadelphia on business, and took his departure. This was on the morving of the 2d inst. gone Mrs. E. received a letter from him enclosing, $20, Tecommending ber to go back to Canada, and bidding her farewell, Mrs. E. refurned to accede to this request, and followed Mr. G. to Philadelphia. She went at once to Mayor Henry, of that city, who furnished her officers to trace out the whereabouts of G. It was known that he was*in correspondence. with several other ng ta , and by intercepting some of the letters it was found that thelx answers were directed to be addressed to Union square Post office, 83) Broadway, New York. Mrs. KE, was informed of the ‘and was given a letter accompanied her to her lodgings, No, 872 Broadway. During all this time tire peal wife of G. had fol- lowed him from place to place, endeavoring to recall him to a sense of his duty to her and his two little chil- drep. Finding him to appearance past reclamation and ba traced him to this city, she applied to Mr. Inspector James Leonard, and related to him the entire Lane of her troubles. Inspector Leonard sympa- thi: deeply with the unfortunate woman and recom- mended her to Mr. George Kallock, Clerk of the Com- missioners of CDarities and Correction, pe sear genoa of abandonment against Ler husband. Detective Ti iy Golden, a most et it officer, was called in to aid the lady. affidavit against G. was duly sworn to before Justice Ledwit! ., upon which Detective Gold rrested bimin Union square, where he was enjoying an airing with Mra. B. The latter was vehement in ber denunciations of the officer, but he in- sisted on bringing his prisoner to Police te ha The supposition was that Mrs, E. as well as @ was married to G., and to aid in bringing the guilty partios to justice all were taken to court, Here the two ‘women were confronted together in the presence of G. A scene ensued which it would be dificult to describe, An examination of the case was gone into, and G. com mitted by Justice Ledwith in default of $600 bail, Mrs, E. is at Police Headquarters as well asG. A further ex: amination in the case occurs to-day. From the develop. ments thus far made, it appears that Mra. E. is not the only victim toG. Some of his correspondents were so infatuated with him As to yield him all their jewels, which he disposed of for his benefit, One lady gave up her boarding house and sold ber possessions to follow him, and a number of others seemed equally enamored of his beauty and intelligence, His real and only wife, faithful to the last, spoke to him geutly in court, called his attention to the little ones, wanderers tor three years past, and asked him in the most tender tones if she had not always been to him a good wife, ‘This seemed to stir the royal blood of Mrs, he claims to be of noble blood—and she looked at G. scornfully, and placed her finger impressively upon her lips.’ G. could do noless than reply in the affirmative to his wife's inter uld make no excuse nor apol may be allowed to depart to iding honorably hereafter wii wife and mily.

She was in the deepest water of the whole route + two thousand four handred fathoms, or a little over tw and a half miles, It was at this time that the signals to « Valentia became unintelligible and gradually eeased. , Prospects Probabilities. ‘The Times infers thatthe disaster occurred after the cable left the veasel, from tlie fact that it was unknowm to those on board who were signalling their messages a@ usual, when their signals became unintelligible at Va- Jentia, and at last ceased entirely. Ag to the chano: 0 | recovering the unimpaired part of the cable and repair- ing it, it may be said that this process could not be ac- complished at the rate of more than a quarter ofa mile am hour, which the slightest wind or rough sea would atone put anend to, For such eventualities the Great Basternl is amply provided. She has several buoys on beard, equal altogether to a weight of fifty tons; and she hag at least five miles of powerful wire buoy rope, whicki can support all that the buoys themselves can float, Thie effort to buoy, however, will not be resorted to till the: last extremity, owing to the danger and improbability of © finding the cable again. ‘The Times, in conclusion, remarks that if the Great Eastern is making successful eflorts to haul in the cable and repair it a clear renewal of the signals may be looked for within a couple of days. Jf, om the contrary, that time should pats without the cable giving signals of life, we fear the case must be considered hopeless, as far asve- gards success this year. Speedy Repair of the Previous Break. © The accident to the cable on the 20th was speedily re paired. No particulars were received.
