Wasuinoton, April 8, 1870, The Dominican Treaty—Views of the Do- wminican Commissioner—Triale of the Re- public, Past and Present—Political and Commerc AfiuireAunexation. Sefior Cohen, the Dominican Commisstoner, now in this city, gives the foliowing interesting dotatia, In regard to the commerciat and political affairs of St. Domingo ho says:—“It ts time to put tho annexation of St. Domingo in its proper light, m order to give @ correct idea - Of stg importance, not only now bat in the future, tu B commercial pont of view as well as poittioal. I shall not speak on the richness of ita-soil; {ts valua- bie mines, its important seaport, &c.; of this much has been sald already. In 1844 Sv. Domingo, the old Spanish territory, formed part of the Haytien re- public. Although the Haytiens had governed the countey during twenty-two years yet their customs ana their language never could be introduced cmong the Domin:cans, who always kept by them- selves and avoided as much as- possible mixing with the Haytiens. It determined a sort of boundary between the two races—one descending from the old black French slaves and tne other from a quiet patriarchal Spanish race, which respected oid customs and religion, Any one who has vis fted the interior of St. Domingo will have met with that hospitality of the olden; time, and muat havo observed the doctlity and quiet habits of the Dominicans. Such antipathy existed between the two races that tne union could last no longer. The Dominicans were determined to reject the too odious yoke of the black Haytien. The Do- minicans were weak and whout forcign assistance, and could mot enter the. field, France came and was the leader im tne revolution against Haytl It is a kuown fact that the government of Louis Philippe at the time not only instrucied its agent, Mr. Juck- ercran de St. Dennis, 0 advise the Dominicans to rige, but also a few days after asmall French squad- ren anchored before the city of St. Domingo, ana by its presence encouraged the Dominicaus to carry through their revolution. French men-of-war wero used in transporting troops, and @ more effective help was never given to any cause. Louis Phi ippe’s views were to annex the Dominican por: tion to France, The old king had not the pluck to carry ont his ideas, and on reaching the momentous question he backed out In order to give satistaction to the English. a “Tae relations between the two governments hay- ing been sheken by the Pritchard affair, the Dominicans were now thrown upon their own re- sources and they were obliged to repuls® the repeated invasions of the Haytien. They were vic- torions in the struggle. The resources of the coun- try were employed for that purpose, and instead of progressing the country was retarded. Engiana and France jointly offered to act as media- tora with the Haytien government in order to puf an end to the war, but at the same time exacted -from the Dominican government the promise that they would reier to the United States. This was carried out by the Domint- cans when the treaty between the two governments was signed in 1854. A most brutal opposition was made by the two Powers, and a man-of-war was sent to St. Domingo to intimiaate the people. France and England, instead of making op- position to the annexation to the United States, now look at it witn satisfaction, because they know that the American fag in the West Indies means security for their interests, which are of importance not only in the whole island, but also tm the surrounding islands, It means security for the Dominicans, who for twenty-five years have been struggling either with the Haytions or the Spaniards, It means se- curity for the neighboring islands of Porto Rico and Cuba, It means security for St. Thomas, It Means security for ail the sister South American republics— Venezuela, New Grenada. It would be- come & home for the fugitives from domestic vio- leuce or foreign tyranny. But putting aside the hu- manity of the question it is acquiring a valuable Possession in the Weat Indies, whose richness re- quires only the energy of the American race to be- come great and weaithy, Coffee, sugar and tobacco can be grown in sufficient quantities to supply the United States. It ia the wish of the Do- minicans to form part of the Union. They have ex- pressed it by & unanimous vote, The oficial reports are lying in the Department of State. I hope the United States will not withdraw ber hand from s people calling for her strong arm to help them.” Sejlor Conen will remain tn this city, and will pro- bably be the bearer of despatches back to President Baer. The Federal OMicses In Now York. The story circulated some days ago to the effect that there was avout to be a new deal of the federal patronage pertaining to your city proves to be merely au invention of the enemy. Certain gentie- men who are extremely anxious to get Collector Grinnell out of tue way, because they find him a stumbitng block in the prosecution of some of their schemes, started the rumor in the hope that it woula give & new impetus to the movement, attempted some months ago, to compass his re |Mmoval. The fact, however, is developed by careful inquiry im the highest quarters that Mr. Grioneli enjoys completely the confidence both of the President and Secretary Boutwel!.

On tne contrary, they consider that they have good reasons to con- gratviste him on the wise, energetic and economical Od;ninistvation of the Custom House during ihe Dast year, and that he is eiuitfed to ino gratiiude of government and business men alike, There is ap AUjttle prospect of the removal or transfer of Post- Master Jones gnd Collector Pleasonton from their gon i tiond ks there fa that Mr. Grianet will be requested to “git out!” A Fenian Case in the House, General Banks is to prosent to the House of Re- Presentatives to-morrow a petition trom John War- ren for damages agatnat Great Britain to the tune of half a million dollars, because he was arrested and tried as @ Fenian conspirator, contrary to the laws for such cases made @qd provided, Mr, Warren, i will be remembered, was strested, tried and convicted as a British subject, although be proved himself to be @ naturalized American citizen, The charges against him were based mainly Upon words spoken and acts commit- ted in America, for which he contends he cannot ve touched in Great Britain, He deciares he committed no overt act in Great Britain or Ireland, and that if he had done so he was entitled to trial by mixed Jory.

An important question is now pending in the Court of Claims—namely: At what time did the Pre- sident’s proclamation of June 24, 1865, in regard to | commercial intercourse (removing restrictions in ceriain portions of the South) take effect? The 24th of June of that year was Saturday; and, altiough \ the proclamation bore that date, it was not Dube SS EB REESE ROPE NES SLC VS EAR ae SE Ma ial aR at oa Ban nk SHEEY, Ushed antit the Tuesday morning following. The Material interest imvoives in the quesiion with regard to cotton, the Treasury agents having, after date of the proclamation, made numerous setaures, being iguorant of or not baving been officially advised of its fosuance through the proper department, Tho intention is to appeal the question to the Supreme Court of the United States, in order definitely to determine when tuo proctamation took efect—whother on the 2ita Of June, 1865, or on the 27th of that month.

The effect of the social revolution almed at by the removat of freedinen from thecoudition of tenants at wit in the agricultural districts will be far greater than it is possible to imagine irom the survey of the surface of the subject. Bus how will the government reach the planters with the proposi- tion to purchase lands with sumicient effect to move hem tn favor of the plan? The answer is, that if it 1g to be inspired with the disposition to save the freedmen with the support of the measure adopted by Congress it must depend upon the agency of commissioners, with ample means at hand to relieve the wants of planters and enable them to employ as many of their tormer peopic as are willing to labor for their own preservation and secure @ freehold interest in the soli; for, ag it was national necessity which led to the emancipation of these peopte it, 1s equally important that the nation should show tts magninimity in the measures to shield them from the condition that would expose them to the cold chartty of those who may give them shelter for their labor.

TRE MILDIE BUD. The Growth of the Objects of this Society A Dissenters’ Mooting Youterday—Sprouing of the Gorm of Future Difficuitics. A promiscuous meeting of the members of the “Ilidise Bund’ was held yesterday uffernoom at the Harmony Rooms, on Kasex street, near Stanton, About 409 persons were present, As no one was admitted except upon ui card of membership iu the “Bund," tuis would nave been quite adangerous numocr of dissonticats, wero it not that the adherents of the present urgaaization, thouzh clasatisied with the management, are eager to prevent apy ruptare which may be impending, and hence came in large numbers and vecame the majority of the meeting. This “Hidwe Bund" was, at its start, something new inthis conntry. It was organized to secure tothe workingmaa an insurance upon his life for the beneft of iis amily at the expense of small weekly payments, the society or “Bund taking upon itself to earn the customary percentage of agents and with the accumulations of this to secure tie insiripg company against any defanlt on the part of the insured. Latterly, the society wave wg grown to numoer over two tiousaad members m the course of seven mionths, other plas were mooted in addition, such as ie support by weekly stipends of sick mewLers, Lue forming Of &@ landed settiemont, of estublisiiag @ savings bauk and several other—some more, Rome less--tiopian sciewes. The meetug calied for yesterday Was nos only to protest against r this “wholesale increase of the origiuai purposes ~ of the organtzauion, but also aguinst the usurpation of power, wuich the ‘ Central Bouy"—Central Koei per—or General Committee were alleged ty assune to themselves. The constitution adopted by chub Central Committee provided tor Central Commitives: or Bodies for euch State—the “Bund extenuing iBhon' over tice States—and for @ Federal Council, ‘{he object of the meeting yostemday was to pro- te t against several of the clouses of this ucw com- stitution, as already mentioned. Mr. Wiliam Holdas- mann was chairman aud Mr.gJ. Amuel secretary. After some romaks by several members, a ‘*platfurns of principies,” said to nay» boea prepared by Mir. A, Meyer, of Williamsburg, was presenied aud read. In this the pian for state Central Committees was denounced and it was propused to have a ‘Central boty" forjevery tweive or fiiteen hundred members, Tuo smaller the “circies,”” so ran the argument of the platform, the better and the quicker Could they be organized. The Federal Goun- cil, a8 merely the a ae authority, should nave its seat in Now York city, Tae great potut of tais platform’? was that tho indiviaual or ica! societios and their funds should be independent from ali m- terference, Some other paragraphs on the support Of sick metmbers, limiting it Within certaia bouuds, concluded the “piatform."’ Heated debate foliowed the reading of the “piat- form,” the majority oving evidently opposed to it. A motion was made to the effect that the meeting shad no power nor right to contro! the action of the “Bund;”’ that it was a gathering not recognized by the original iawa of the Corporation, an that, therefore, tue mectiug should dec.are ia want of power to pass auy resolutions, — So: alrong epithets were buried by the minority against the majority, which tendeucy to ;disturi- ance Waa, however, quickly checked by the cuair. man. 7 me Fee Was Di" GO avota, was deciared carried, and the meetinggwa$ announced adjourned by the presiding offcer.
