J 10 THE D@MINICAN TREATY. History, of the Negotiations Between President Bacz and the United States. How tho Treaty Was Arranged and Signed— She Prominent Men and the Catholic Clergy In Favor of Annexation—A Slight Diffieulty—The Protests of Luperon and Cabral. Wasumaron, Jan. 14, 1870, ‘The ‘which 19 now before the Senage of the Dnited StAtgs for confirmation is a questeon which ‘was 10 11 g micipiency brought to the attention of the govern’ ~ent by Bacnaventura Baez, President of the repub! gc, supported by the loading men Of the Island, ‘whe ¢ pnstant disorders prevailing in the country, it mig? 4 ‘be suid ever since the original independence ©T! pe island, showing no signe ef abatement. A Sre grater of jurisdiction was considered to the best 1 porests of the whoie people. When this proposi- U ga wes first made the President considered the ' patter thoroughly, and admitting the reasonable- mess of the wishes of the Deminican government ment Generai Babcock on a special mission “to President Baez to learn precisely what he desired. Aiter the interviews, General Bab- @ock, on this first visit bad with Baez, ‘whe propositions, with some enlargement, were eub- mitted in writing, and were brougnt back by Gen- “eral Babcock and laid before President Grant. These ‘propositions emanated from Baez, and were miateri- ‘ally the-same as afterwards tncorporated tnto the ‘reaty. During his visit General Babcock conversed freely witn gentiemen of Influence, and was per- fectly satisfied that the influential portion of the population, at least, was enlisted in the success of the movement. Among these was Don Domingo de ta Roche, @ member of one of the oldest aud most wealthy families on the island. On whe basis of the points satisfactory to the friends of annexation tn St. Domingo the weaty was 4@rawoup here ander the personal supervision of the President. When completed the important mate paper was committed to Geueral Babcock, Who, With it in his possession, set out again for St. Domingo. This tine he wok General Sackett, master Of the Spanish language, In order to be pre- Bent at the discassions, as & Witness of the proceed- ings. General Ingalls went with the party more ab -& conpagnon de voyage than oMetaliy, Upon arriving at St. Domingo M. M. Gauuer, Munts- ter of liome Administrauion, was appointed by Baez to act for the Dominican government. The powers accorded to Gautier were signed by the President of Whe republic and ali the Cabinet oficers. On the part of thls government Mr. Perry, United States commercial agent, was selected by Presideut Grant. The reason lor not appotnting General Babcock, who, in reality, was the chief negotiator, arose (rom She fact that he was @ military officer of the govern- ment, and therefore cowd not constitutionally fill the other position. ‘Tne discussions over the different sections of the treaty as it came from this government were won- deriully harmonious. Tie sum origmally fixed by Mbis government was $2,000,000, However, when this portion was taiked over and the amount of pub- he property and indebtedness more carefully con- aldered, President Bacz himself suggested that the amount wad too high, and that it had better De reduced to $1,500,000. It is quite evi- gent from this fact, nad Baez any personal objects to satiely, he would not have been so scrupa- Jously particular in fixing the amount, Tue discus sions Were open only to President Baez, Vice Presi- dent Gomez, all the Cabinet, Generals Babcock and Sackett and Mr. Perry. No others were aliowed any part whatever in the proeeedings. The ciause pro- Viding for the payment of the national indebtedness ‘Was arranged us specified in the treaty; that is, the mouey w be pald by commissioners, upon the grounds, as Kaez said at the time, that toey had contracted tlese debts and they wished %o pay themselves so that it could not be suid that they would hot pay, bat that the United States did it for them, Which mught aiso be looked upou as a re- Aection upon tlie honesty of the Dominican govern- Ment. it was provided, in order to secure the Com- mpixssioners ii tue performance of their duty, that the Untied States would protect them in the dis- bursement of the money. In regard to the Hart- mont loan, Which tureatens to be @ source of some misundersiandiuy, the amount thus offered was £120,000, Article seven of the contract states Messrs, Hart- moat & pledge themselves to deliver the st—pu- dated sum of £420,000 sterliug a tie followimg man- ner:—£5),.00 on the day of signing the treaty, elier tn cash or in bills at Bixty days’ sight upon Messrs.

The smterest and pay- ments guaranteed by the property of tne State of St Dommpgo and Cuswm House revenues, a first morigage beng given to the holders of the bonds. As uspecial guarantee the receipts of the Custom Houses, amounteog to $. 00,000 10 ordinary§y cars, were set aside.

The drawing of diatts was to take piace in London Decem er i of eacn year and be due the same daie the following year at par. but duriug the interveniog year bounds might be presepied.

Upon thus loan £50,000 have been advanced. ‘The further receipt of money will be so ariunged as to liquidate tae loan, or Measures will be taken io stop a further advance of money.

So it will be wpeen that the protests purporting to come from these ‘worthies, even if reliable, would be without any vaiue.

LECTUB’2S LAST NIGHT. THE WANRER NG JEW. Lecture ¥ sfore the Maimonides Library Asso ®. ciation, by Adolph L. Sanger. ve? ant Hall was attended by a numerous an- atence on Sunday evening to listen to am address by Mr. /a, L, Sanger on the above subject. The speaker bev an his remarks by referring to the ancient legend OF the Wandering Jew, picturing bis career on earth, Vriendiesa and uncared for, and the butt of every persecution, doomed to wamder until the coming of the Messiah shall relieve him of bis troubles. This bogend was expertly woven into arich and delicate network of thought, tending to exemplify the wandering idea of civilization among the vations, The Jews were the first peopie who developed the fundamental principles that underlie civilized life. They carried ctvilization before them wherever they founda nome. Other nations, who claimed a superior knowledge of the arts and xciences, were stili behind the Jews ip cul- ture, because ey lacked the necessary ethical rinciples that attend ona truly civilized people. neir persecutions in the Middie Ages served to de- velop the moral idea still more powerlully; It was tua moral culture Wat kept them together and which preserved them annihilation. ‘The year 1492, that uad marked thar expulsion from Spain, like- wise marked the discovery of Awerica, the land of civil and religious liberty, whither the star of hope and promise attracted thom, aud where at last they lave iound an asylum against prejudice and persecution. ‘The predicted Messianic Deriod was near at Laud—if notin the at least in the trmmph of those ethical principles of human- ity which shall ennoble ail mankind, and which shall bind them together as one family, frowning upon everything that is bad aud corrupt, and tat shall cause the sluice gates of private and pubiic hates aud of ail the meaner passions to opea and permis tae foul channel of a worid’s misdeeds freely to dow faio the boundiess sea of eternity and sink as lead upon the ocean’s bed, ‘the speaker further connected his subject with and dweit upon the necessity of a uaon of Jewish ehariies and of the cultivation and promotion of a sound literary taste. Me advocated the erection of agrand @nd substantial edifice, which shouid be- coine the central pout of gathering ior ail those who love and appreciate the seciat and intellectual re- ations of society, and cited the example of the Young Men’s Christian Association, who liad strug- gied mantfully for years, and whose efforts reflected credit not only oa uhew patienve aud enverprise but which manitesied in @ high degree a genuine spirit of charity and an appreciative regard for the wants of the stranger and the (riendless, &r. Sanger concluded lis cloguent remarks with a brilliant B privat pievuring in giowing colors the future of the human race, cemented in one holy bond of brotheriood, all striving for the same inter- ests, the periection of humanity, under the inspira- tion of but one faith and worshipping only one God, The jecture was listened to throughout with undi- vided aliention and interrupted by frequent ap- piause. PHYSIOLOGY. Phe lectures to ladies on this subject, by Mra. Walter ©. Lyman, at Dr. Chapin’s ehurch, were re- sumed yesterday afternoon. ‘The lecturesa commenced by saying that no sab- Ject of the present day involves so deep and earnest a question as that of the restoration and preservation of the physical power. it bas been truly said that bodies may exist without souls (or with souls 80 small as not to be recognized), but it is only those who are blessed with spiritual vision who are able to see souls walking sbout without bodies. A body t meet the demands of a great soul! The American people are darge-brained, but have small lungs, aud at thirty-five or forty are broken down. Tne brain needs and consumes about four or five times ag much blood as any other organ of the body, and the lungs alone prepare this blood for nourishing and sustaining not only the brain, but all parts of the body. ‘The women of America ‘om sixteen to twenty are very beautilul, but are preinatarely old at thirty-five or forty, when they should be in thelr prime, because of the neg- lect to cultivate the physical powers. Did I noi feet that woman had @ great mission on earth I should not come to speak to you on «these subjects, The greatest perfection of physical life Js the greatest perfection in beauty. Our most exalted idea of an angel is the highest type of physical beauty. God has given us nd other types of aagethood. When He created man He made tim i His own image and pronounced him “very good.” The human body is composed largely of muscles, each class having its appro- priate work. lt is a law governing physical life that any part left unused snrinks and loses its power. How many of the many hundred muscica of the body do our ladies use? How many does it require to make tattin or crochet? liow few of the muscles of the chest, or breathing apparatus, are used? The result of this negiect isa Tecvie, often aalf paralyzed condition of the whoie system. Dr. Winship was quoted as an lilustration of what might be done by proper muscular exercise. The great want of balance between the mental and plysical is one of the causes of the demand for sumulants and brings tn its train such feariul merease of insanity and consequent crime. Woran’s work in Ife 1s of too much tm- portance to allow her energies to “rust out” and Jeave wafuifilled the great inission for waich her Creator designed her. “BEFORMATIONS AND REFOAMERS.”” A lecture was delivered last evening by the Rey. Jonn McNaugiliton, in the Yorkville Presbyterian “Reformations and Reformers Before the Reformation.” The attendance was limited. The lecturer introduced hig subject by referring to the history of the Romish Pontiff, in the Early and Middje Ages, and the potent influences exercised by them on the general welfare—retarding the social and material progress of the inhabitants and siriv- ing to plant a religion which was full of the most pregnant errors. Powerful as was the influence and success of these so-called high priests the influence and power exercised by the nobie band of reformers was still more powerful and coyld not be defeated. Wickliffe, the great reformer, was the first who led the way in that glorious enterprise to which we owe in no small degree our religious en- lightenmeot aud our social happiness and intelli- geuce. Where tle Bible was closed from the eyes of the pcopie, there intelligence, happiness and educa tion will not be ound. Martin Luther was the first to sound the war cry, and he lived tw seo the fruita of that noble enterprise to which he had consecrated his life and his fortune. ‘the movement for religious freedom and enlighten- ment made slow work at first; but under the indom- ftable leadership of. the baud of reformers success at lagt dawned upon the nobie and blessed enter- prise committed to their hands. When enjoying the benefits of a pure and holy religion and the incalca- lable advantage of a free aod holy Bible they were id to forget to whom they were indebted for these blessings. Let them, then, remember the reformers, and ever hold them in high esteem, BUILDING AND BEING. Lecture by Dr. Chapin. A large audience assembled in the Universalist church corner of Bleecker and Downing streets last evening to listen to a lecture by the Rev. E. H. Chapin, D. D., entitled “Building and Being,” given under the auspices of the Lee Literary Association. The speaker divided his subject into three parts— Personal, Social and National—and argued that whether we acted as individuals, as members of society or as citizens of the republic, we should be constantly building in virtue, in honor, in loyalty. The paramount law of the universe not a jaw of death, but of life. By building he meant to convey the idea that we must balance our facul- tied and impulses. The heart and brain should a together, le alluded to the present time, and called it an age Of construction. All progress, all civiliza- tion, the speaker said, was but a process of construc. tion. Butlding of late was a characteristic of our | country. Our mission, however, did not slop with the new railroad or the gorgeous edifice; we must build up humanity as well. A vote of thanks was passed at the conclusion of the lecuure. FIRES LAST NIGHT. In Rende Street. At five o'clock last evening a fire broke out in the paper warehouse of E. W.

Catharine Keefe, sworn, deposed—I reside at No. 136 North Fifth street; was at home from hall-past five on Saturday evening until Sunday morning; ‘went to bed early, and was awakened about eleven o'clock by @ scuflling down stairs; heard a woman crying “Watch,” put did not see anybody; Mary Burrows was with me at the time; about an hour af- terwarda Michael Driscoll came up stairs and we asked bim what the matter was; he sala that @ tall man wanted to take a bottle of whis- key away without paying for it; Mrs, Connolly ‘would not let him do so and he put down a two dol- lar bill; Mrs, Connolly then told him that he had enough whiskey and should not have any more; the tali man then assaulted Mrs. Connolly and Driscoll said that ne went to her defence; ne also saia that Mr. Connolly wag in the back room at the time and had nothing w do with tbe quarrel; Driscoll told us that he hada hard time to get Mrs, Connolly away from the tall wan; that was all the conversation f had with Driscoll at tbat time, but on Sunday even- ing he told me that the man bad a priest and two doctors attending him and that he heard he was likely to die; that ts all 1 know about the dificulty. ‘Miss Mary Ann Burrows, the young woman alluded to by the preceding witness, gave similar testimony.

Joseph Creamer, sworn, deposed—I reside at No. 17 South Second street; this afternoon I made a post mortem examination of the body of deceased; on opening the abdominal cavity I found evidences of very recent inflammatory action; in looking for the cause ol this inflammation I found that the biad- der been ruptured, discharging its con- tents into the abdominal cavily; the in. flammation thus produced was sufficient to cause death; the rupture of the biadder im this case, I believe, was caused by direct violence, it being distended at the time; I did not nouce any other marks of violence on the bouy. Dr, Maximilian Schooler and Dr. Van Brecklen concurred in the evidence given by Dr. Creamer, Dr, E. H. Dugan testified that he saw Kennedy previous to his decease; saw him about nine o'clock on Sunday night; be was then ina dying condition; he toid me that he had been kicked the night before in the abdomen; he did not tell me who kicked him; said ne thought he would die and was satistied to peony concur with Dr. Oreamer as to the cause of eau br.

Charies Fagan testified that he was standing out- Bide Connolly's liquor store between tweive and one o’clock on Sunday morning; heard @ woman inside scream “Murder, watch;’’ shortly afterwards a tall man came out of the front door with a rus! though he was pushed oul; the man returned and kicked at the alley gate, when Connolly came out of the front door; I then heard the voice of a girl say- ing to Connolly, “Father,tcome in, the police have got him now;’ and Connolly cailed out to Kennedy, calling Bim a scoundrel and teiling hun to go away; Kennedy was then taken to his nome; he did not appear to be intoxicated, but pale and sick, ‘Mrs, Kennedy, wile of the deceased, testified that _ When he reached home on Sunday morning he was groaning with pain and said ho was kilied; he men- tioned Mat Contfoily’s name, and when | asked nim what Mat Connolly did he said that he kicked bia twice in the belly; he also wold me that there were other persons present, but none of them strack him but Connolly; he repeated this frequently before he died. ‘The investigation was here adjourned until this evening, at half-past seven o’clock, and the prison- ers, Connolly and Driscoll, were remanded to the custody of Captain Wogiom. CONNECTICUr MORALS, “High Daddy” in a Poets Family—He Wants to Be Severed from “the Dream of His Youth.” Considerable excitement was created last fweek in Stamford, Conn., by the report that a violent at- \ack had been made on the person and premises of Mr. J. P. Eldridge, the noted elocutionist and Shak- spearian reader. The excitement was intensified b the ramor thas (he affair had ali the sensational ad- Juncts of love, jealousy, marital intidelity and gun- owder. The immediate cause of the excitement on Tues- aay evening was the culmination of a series of domestic troubles in the family of Mr. Eldridge— troubles which seem to have been principally due to the unwholesome influence of @ Mrs, Payne—a sla- ter of Mrs. Eldridge—who bas for some time resided in the family. Mr. Eldridge took up his residence in this town a few months ago, and has, with his wife and littie boy and girl, becn living i the house kaown as the “old parsonage.” He is Known all over the country as @ public reader of fine talents. He is also, irom time to time, engaged in iterary labor, and his series of letcers “On the Wing” have been widely circulated by the New York press. He has heretofore given “Evenings with the Poets’ in various towns and cities of the United States, but more recently he has been travelling as agent for two leading mercantile houses in the city. His duties obliged him to be often away from home, and itappears his wife, who is young and good looking, and fond of society, sometimes found the time heavy on her hands. A few weeks ago Mra. Eldridge earnestly requested her husband to allow Payne to come and reside with her. To Eldridge ave an unwilling consent, as he had a prejudice against the lady, in consequence of ttle irregularities of char- acter, that made Dim faucy she was not @ suitable companion for his wife. However, Mra. Eldridge protested that her sister had reformed, and pic- tured her lonely condition in such touching colors that the poev’s heart relented, and in an evil moment he conseuted that Mra. Payne should be received as @ member of the family. From this time the troubles commenced. Mrs. Eldridge, yielding to the bad influence of her sister, began to make long ex- cursions tn the evening. The new comer waa used to fun and jollity, and was bound to have it, The car- pet in the Jarge room was oiten taken up, the ready \ddiers’ services called upon, and the ladies, with certain tale friends, smused themselves in the pleasures of the dance. it is even said that such a vulgar beverage as beer was brought into the house, which, irom being the most quiet and sedate in the neighborhood, began to have a reputation for noisy orgies, Which made many people shake their heads and deciare ail was not right in the old par- souage. On retarning from his last trip Mr. Eldridge be- came for We first time acquainted with the nigh Old doings that were going on in his absence. He saw and heard enough to convince him that ni domestic happiness was forever gone, and there ‘was nothing left but to apply for a divorce. This he has done, and the case is now in the nands of & com- petent lawyer. The lncident which was the immediate cause of giving the matter publicity was that on Tuesday night Mr. Eldridge was sitting in his room, broocung over the Calamity that had belailen him, when aud- denly the window was smashed in and a pistol shot was fred, with the object, it is thought, to frighwo iim from the house. Jt is supposed to Bave been the work of the rowdies who had already indicved irreparable injury on the much-abused man, METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, Meeting of tho Association Last Night.
