What, then, ts the character of this popula- tion and wuat will it be worta to the United States? ‘Yhe population of the Dominican republic is much under 200,00¥, probably no’ much above 100,000, Of these three-fourths are simple-minded biacks, ready to work in the mines or flelds for forty ceuts & day and soldiers’ rations. General Caz- neau, Who bad @ large experience of hem in his inining labors, says m @ lite report:—‘“as an economical, acclimated and periectily managea- ludustrial power, alzeady on tue feid where it is needed, and which cap instantly be made highly re- miunerative to American capital and enterprise, I consider the colored working population of this island one of its most valuable features in view of annexation, Tbere 13 not a man too many of ths class, and their presence near the coffee and sugar lands, which ure vow In market at from two deliara to tive doliars per acre, will treble the price and pro- ductive value of those fue regions from the first year in which systematic farming is introduced in them.” Give these people their forty cents a day and rations; or fifty cents # day and find themselves, with a dance or a religious testival—either wili do— once & month, and @ more quiet, respecttul and con- tented population cannot be (ound anywhere. Gen- eral Cazneau maintains thas without the aid of this “cheap, present and willing working power the gold fleids of 5% Domingo could not be profitably de- veloped for perhaps years to come,’? It is stated tyat the mines and public domain have been mortgaged to secure a government loan. From an examination of goverument documents I can assure you that this is a very great mistake. Tne Hartinont Joan and all the other ciaims held outside of the republic, that is, all debts other than their paper curreney and the hke held by their own citi- zeus or aciual residents, fall within the $6v0,000 stated by Mr. Fabens, tne Dominican Envoy, to Gen- eral Bavks and Mr. Seward a yearago.

Let the naval oificers that know both places speak out their opinions of the value of these statements and then let the Senate approve, if it can, of paying seven millions for next to nothing at St. Thomas, and two miilions for Samana and everything it can wish. Fora milion and @ half we may take the whole repubtic, with Samana thrown in as a free filiat present to tue Northern Upton from her grave- Tul and devoced daughter of the Diamond Isle.

The announcement that Isaac Von Vart Buckhout, the Sleepy Holiow muruerer, would be placed on trtal before the Circuit Court and Court of Oyer and Terminer at White Plains, Westchester county, yes- terday morning, had the effect of attracting an immense throng, larzely composed of intelligent citizens, which occupied every available por- tion of sitting and standing room on the floor and gallery of the spacious court room. On the bench were Justice Tappen, presid- ing Judge; County Judge Robert Cochran and Myron B. Silkman and Stephen Billings, Justices ot Sessions. District Attorney Dykman conducted (he case for the people, having for some unexplained cause peromptorily declined the co-operation of Mr. Ewin James, who bas been retained by the de- Ceased woman’s relatives to assist in the prosecu- ton and to clear her memory from the foul charge alleged by her destroyer, who had sworn at the altar to love and protect her. Mr. James remained in court during the day, but did not take any part in the proceedings, The defence was represented by Messrs. Francis Lackin, W. H.

MAKING WAR OW ERIE, Will Erie be Relieved from Taxntion tn Jersey City f—The Common Council Ques tons the Act of the Railrond Legislature. When Fisk had a bill introduced into the Camden and Amboy Legislature at Trenton relieving the Erie Railway Company of local taxation in Jersey City to the tune of $33,000a year he was not very sanguine of its success. But he soon realized that he had fallen into a hungry crowd that had been gorged @ week previously over the Air Line bill by the Camden aad Amboy, and their appetite was greedy for another morsel. The very name of Erie made them jump with delight. Tne Common Council of Jersey City went in a body to bes Aig the passage of the bill, but their remon- sirance was laughed at. The act was guiped down by the ravenous legisiators, ana the taxpayers of dersey City will rue the @: the measure passed. Jersey City must pay State and connty taxes for the property occupied by the ratiroad companies, while the latter are relieved from an assessment which would be itnposed on any other corporation or any private individual holding the same property. Governor Ranagoiph sent @ message to the Legisia- ture, just before adjournment, calling their attention to a recommendation in his previous message that railroad corporations shoukd be taxed; bat this mes- sage was laid on tne table and left there. At a meet- ing of the Common Council of Jersey City on ‘Tuesday night a series of resolutions were offered by Alderman Abesran and adopted, setting forth that, according to the opinion of the law adviser of the Council, railroad companies are liable to this taxation. and appoint- ing & committee to examine the question and report on the advisability of testing the conatitutionality of the law recently passed. ‘the Corporation Counsel ‘Was also directed to give his opinion on that act. Speeches were delivered by the Aidermen witch were anything but complimentary to the men who vowed for this bill in the Logisiature. The committee are to report within thirty days. PANEL VICTIMS.
