White Recruits Assigned, to Colored Regi- ments. It is understood that orders will be issued author- izing the assignment of white recruits to the Ninth and Tenth regiments of cavalry, now composed of colored troops. The object of thisis to Keep the Tegiments up to the numerical standard, in view of the constant demands upon this arm of the service. It is only with great difficulty that colored recruits are obtained, as this element of the population seems to take very little fancy tothe military ser- vice on the borders. Personal.

THE DAVIS HATCH CASE. /- Report of the Majority oft the Committee— General Babcock Exonerated—Mr. Hatch Conniving with Cabral and the Enemies of the Dominican Government. WASHINGTON, June 26, 1870, Senator Howard, from the select committee on the memor‘a! of Davis Hatch, presented a report ac- companied by testimony taken by the committee, The memorial of Mr. Hatch represents a grievance arising out of the cruel treatment to which he had been subjected by Baez, President of the Dominican Repubiic, designedly and with set purpose, by order- lng a sentence of death to be passed upon him and permanently injuring his heaith, &c., for which he claims damuges in tae sum of $60,000 from that government, which sum he believes to be justly due him for what he has suffered in person, ‘charaeter and influence in being deprived of his’ hverty six months and twenty days, and he asks the intervention of the government of the United States to aid him in obtaming that amount of damages for such his alleged wrongs, He also claims the further sum of $8,547 for spotia- tion of his property by the army of Baez in that re- public, &c, ‘The committee say they cannot assume to pro- nounce the proceedings against Hatch to be insumi- clent. It must be recognized as the right of ever: independent nation to adopt such torms of proceed. ngs, both in criminal and civil matters, as its gov- ernment may see iit, although such proceedings may not be in accordance with our own notions. It can- not be denied that where a foreigner takes up hig domicile in our country he takes up with its Saws and cinnot deny its authority to arraign and punish hum for offences against the laws. It is true that should such government refuse justice to the for- eigner, or discriminate against him in such manner as to subject him expressly and designediy to wrong and injury, the government to which he belongs would have right to complain and to demand repara- ENE? an ee | SeM’g to be willing to resort to almost any means % Prevent the success of the pian of annexation. had voluntarily fixed his abode in the re- Public and subjected himself to its laws, He could not, therefore, complain of wrong done him if he found himself detained according to the laws for intermeddiing to prevent the con- summation of a great national measure, which not only that republic, but his own government, was seeking to bring about. The committee find no rea- son whatever to suppose that Hatch’s charges that he was detained in confinement througb the inter- ference of Mr. Perry, our commerclal agent, are founded on truth, ‘ The committee next examined Hatch’s accusa- tions seeking °o fx tpon: Gene al Babcock, who went to Sf Domingo under inswructions to nego- tiate the treaty; upon Mr. Fabens and upon Mr. Cazeneau, American citizens “residing in their pri- vate Fern 5 ae Domingo, | fault of interfer- Ing and iaing Mr. Perr * 00 ‘n from all efforte to procure the rlease or Hatch. ‘They say: ~ meronce by those three 'gentle- af serious complaint in the only to Hatch’s alleged » Way militate against POL. vo proved that jatch be sae Nene ~ pal a4 fa the concoction of tne ) 9 getiator (Mr, Perry) him- sed by the government with the sy ED de "tiga! re| | ‘Mons as ‘subject of tne tweety, oe te. | ignorance of material facts and greatly to thi prejudice of his government, The committee ty.that Hatch was set at liberty on the 17th of last od, apd that his release seems to have been secu. vy Adiniral Poor, from whose despatch it is apparent that when the government of Baez had been app *'ed to by an agent whom it re- spected itat once complied with our request, In- deed, so littie did Mr. Perry seem to have to do with this release that Admiral Poor does not even name him m his despatch on the subject. The committee say:— if General Babcock had in any way interfered to prevent the release of air, Hatch, it 1s @ little re- Markable that we find no evidence of this in the official correspondence of Admiral Poor or the Domi- nican government. Had such been the case it must be presumed that the Dominican government would Nave set up that excuse and informed oar govern- ment of the fact; and yet we find no such: intima- tion against General Babcock, except in Hateh’s letter to him, dated Azua, March 15, 1870, two days before his release; but this letter isso manifesily written under the influence of wild surmises and in such arancorous spirit that we do not think it enti- tled to any weight as evidence. Among other staten . ts they give the testamony of General Babcock, gi# r¢tly and emphatically de- nying that hein any — ~ mterfered to prevent the release of Hatch, ands. - We have no reason W) . tever to believe that Gen- eral Babcock ever, at ay cime, gave Mr. Perry ad- vice to interfere to prevent such release. As to the same charge brought against Mr. Fabens by Mr. Perry, the committee declare their opinion that Mr. Perry 1s totally mistaken m the accusation which he brings. 1s and nas been for several years an intimate personal acquaintance of Mr.-Cazeneau, of St. Domingo, resided near him on the istand; has conversed with him about the case of Hatch, a1 affirms before the committee that he never heard Cazeneau intimate that Hatch ht to be aetained as a prisoner for that or any other reason, It has been proved that Cazeneau never made any attempt to that end. After an extended ‘review of the subject and mi- nute examination of the testimony, the majority say the comintives hbys: come to tas mip nm Gey they announce with pleasure, at, althoug! as boon openly asserted in the Senate that General Babcock was guilty of misconduct, they are { satisfied that tne charge is totally unfounded, and that he conducted himself throughout with perfect honesty and sincerity, ‘They look in vain lor any evidence, worthy of & moment's con- sideration, of any insincerity on his part, or any misstatement or prevarication. His whot conduct bas been marked with truth, honor and fideity, and the whole evidence leaves him without a stain; and we would be untrue to our own Convictions if we did not apply to Generals Ingalls and sackett, who accompanted him and ajded in the negotiations, the like commendation. 1d we take pleasure in expressing our convic- tion, after weighing ali the facts and circumstances within our knowledge, that 1n its negotiation and and preparation the treaty 1s free from any fraud or unfairness, and that the agents employed by the re- spective governments have all acted with becoming frankness and smverity. vis not permissible in us to express in this public manner our opinion of the merits Of the treaty, or reas which the Sehate should adopt in regard to it; butas the agents en- aged in ie i itiation have been charged with cor- Bupt motives ai sppropes conduct, we think it ap- te to deen the accusation entire! unfounded. The committee, resuming the review of Hatch’s claim, say that had he been wantonly seized and subjected to a mere mock trial, and condemned without a hearing and without testimony—in short, had been treated with manifest wantonness, tyrani and cruelty—they could not hesitate to recommen a demand for satisfaction; but the facts do not show that such was the character of the proceedings; but that they were, on the contrary, in accordance with the laws of the republic. The committee, therefore, see no ground for this branch of his ciatm. To prove the loss of his property he presents no ofher evi- dence than his own statement, to which he has omitted to make oath. But to admit his statement as being true, it does not follow, under ordinary cir. cumstances, that he has a valid claim for damage: which occurred as part of the ordinary circuim- stances oi war, because he was an admitied enemy of the Baez government. ‘The committee, in conclusion of their long report, sayi— According to the testimony of ex-Commercial Agent Smith, Mr. Hatch had been engaged in other Mucit trafic.at Barbara, ‘The Danish vessel Rotto was consigned irom >t. Thomas to Mr. Hatch et Barbara, and was undoubtedly engaged in illicit trafic, to which Mr. Hatch connived. She was seed, condemned and sold by the Dominican government. That a person so situated should make reclamation against the government he was thus offending would seem to be singiilar; and, from what is beforesus, we cannot presume that Mr. Hatch had or has now any ground for a claim for indemnification. If he was damaged at all, a fact which it 18 not necessary to deny, 1t was his ‘misfor- tune growing out of his own fault; and without assuming to say that he can esiablish no just claim against the government of the republic of Dominica, we are constrained to say that we are not able to See its justice, and that at auy rate his application to Congress in this behalfis premature and irregular. ‘We cannot but regard this unusual course as an at- tempt by Mr. Hatch, in making his alleged gricy- ances public, to prevent a fair consideration of the treaty of annexation, to arouse unfounded pre- judices against it, and finally to defeat it. His course evinces a Want of that candor and circum- spection which should characterize every American citizen abroad $n matters in which his government and country are concerned. Loud and passionate clamors against individuals, blind surmises and personal pique, that warpjthe judgment and induce a Jorgettulness of matters of fact, are not the means proper to be exercised to influence our judgments in matters of such grave importance. ‘The com- mittee, therefore, recommend that Mr. Hatch’s peti- tion be tudefinitely postponed. JAMES W. NYE. HOWA J. Me RD. GEORGE W. WILLIAMS. WILLARD WARNER, MINORITY REPORT. i Senator Schurz, from the minority of the com- Mittee, submitted a report in which they express Tcgret at beg obliged to dissent from the majority in every important point of fact. They submit from the testimony that Hatch is a gentleman of the highest character. The diplomatic representative of the Dominican government (Mr. Fabens) admits that Mr. Hatch’s private character is without re- tiov. But in the case of Hatch they have not been abie t) see, in the voluminous testimony taken, any evie Ge.ce ofa Kets tote from the legal forms prescribed by the laws of the republic. He was charged with entertaining Cabral and his party oi revolutionists, giving them aid and comfort ata time when Baez ‘Was firmly seated in power and his government be- yond a doubt the de sacto government of the Trepub- lic, and doing this act ata time when the town of Barrajona, occupied by Cabrai, had been deciared in a state of siege by Baez. He 1s alav charged with offering his house as a loagment and his store and arsena: to the enemies of a constituted government. ‘Iv 18 also clear {rom his own statements that he had been traficking with the enemy at Barrajona, and he admitted that ne invited Cabral’s partisans to lis own house. This invitation is surely anything but evidence of his neutrality. After further examining this question and show- ing that Hatch was found guilty by the unanimous vote of the eight judges the report says:— To the direct and concurrent testimony of the five ‘Witnesses to the fact of his complicity with Cabral’s party it 1s vain to present the unsworn donial of latch. Hatch’s complaints are generally noticed, and special mention is made of the complaint that after he was sentenced to death, and after this sentence was, as he says, commuted to banishment from the country, he was detained by the government of St. Domingo, which detention he imputes in part to the rovernment-of the Dominican republic, and in part to the interference of agents of the United States on the island gonnected with the negotiation of the treaty for annexation now before the Senate. In re- viewing this statement the committee say they have shown enough to establish the fact of Hatch’s hos- ULILY to Baeg, against Whoin and the Baez party he | eurpitained an old grudge, and to gratify-it he proach, Mr. Hatch was in Barajona while it was in Possession of the Cabral party, and when Baez took Possession he was arrested, taken to St. Domingo, then to Agua, a province then under martial law, where he was tried before a military court, a pro- ceeding exceedingly barbarous 1n the circumstances attending it, The testimony shows that Hatch had in former years incurred the displeasure of two powerful individuals on the tsland. He had written articles for American papers reflecting on Baez, who was at that time (1863) in exlie. In that war the Cabral government was overthrown, and one of Baez’s first acts after getting into power was Hatch’s arrest on the alleged ground that he had peen concerned with the opposite party. This allegation was wholly disproved by a letter written by Baez's brother; also by the testimony of Mr. Smith ,commercial agent. Hatch was there as the agent of @ salt mining company, the grant of which Baea had repeatedly tried to have annulled, and strong efforts were made to drive Hato and his company away from that investment. The conclusion of his trial at Azua was his sentence to be shot, and afterwards his pardon on condition that he would leave the country. Nevertheless he was not released from prison till March, While he was in eared negotiations Yor the annexation of Dominica were begun, and General Babcock arrived there as agent of the United States, remaining several weeks till the treaty was conclided. In spite of the urgent solici- tation of the commercial agents, Smith and Perry, Hatch was kept in prison, and the reagons forjhis in- carceration appear in an official note addressed by the Dominican Secretary of State to our Commercial Agent, dated February 19, 1870, in which the solici- tauons for his release were denied, because of his irreconcilable enmity against that government and inyeRtng calumumies to divert the pubic wind SHEET, sgatnat annexation to te United States. Baez him- , in @ letver to Admiral Poor in March, 1870, ex- Plains that the continued incarceration of Hatch ‘Was on account of his connection with how. tle to St. Domingo and his disposition to exert influences there on public opinion detrimental to the Interests of Dominican annexation, ‘The report also refers to a letter addressed by Mr. Caseman to General which de- Perry had better not ttl he (Babcock) had left Hatch would work Tes) high position he occu; to his patriotism during the late war, and ‘Hom the fact "hae from a pivaie (> ‘i ee he came out of the wer with Jenene for bravery int , and Would have been commissioned in the Feguar army but for hav: shot an officer in the defence of his own lite, refer at length to his career since the war and to the high estimation in which he was held and Clerk, Generals She They also eter to bis eminent servioek a3@ com- rolal agent at St. Domingo. cite from the testimony of Babcock himself tothow what amount Of interest he evinced in Hatch’s release, aud that when he was.informed of the particulars in Hatch’s case by Perry he told the latter that the epers in the case should be forwarded to Wash: order to have action by our gevernment. also testifles that when asked to send a vessel to the piace Where Hatch was confined he lied that h had been interfering witn the ion in saat sh ae hee son ae In regard to the charge that Hatch had issued a letter of marque to a Cabral 1» sy on Dom- inican commerce, the committee ‘fi that, when that vessel was captured, she was acquitted of the ch . and the only payer she could exhibit was a bill of heaith furnished by one Hatch, an American, at Barajona, a Dominican port, not a port or entry. Babcock saw this paper, and regarded it as a proof that Hateh was guilty. The committee further cite Babcock’s testimony, to show that he told the Prest- dent of the United’ States he thought Match was guilty. After reciting ali the circumstances of Bab- Cock’s mission to St, Domingo, and a'l the facts con- cerning Hatch, the committee bring them ail to the knowledge of Babcock, and siow that he refused to have anything to go with an American citizen so held th prison, and declined to speak a word for @ person 80 outraged, and went even so far as to omit all inquiry concesyning the reasons for which that citizen was held captive, while a few minutes’ investigation would have convinced him that the ouly thing which was considered proof of that cap- tive’s guilt did not exist on record, and that ine ‘ial, sentenee and continued incarceration after | oclergie were barbarous outrages from beginning to nd. ‘The minority, atter referring to the motive which must have induced General Babcock to thus refuse W intercede for Hatch, proceed to show. that he had manifested a disposition to construe his in structions iiberally. He took an active partin the pursuit of the steamer Telegrafo, while his instruc- Uons were quite silent on that subject. That he signed the prelimumary protocol of a treaty in which he introauced himself in the capacity of ald-de-camp to the President and his special agent; and in the first article of which he explicitly pledges the Pre- sident “privately” to use all his influence im order that the idea of annexing the Dominican repubiie may acquire such a degree of among members of apopaanty Congress as will be necessary for 11s accomplishinent, and to make no communication to that body until he shail be certain It will be approved by a mi: jority. ‘The minority think this unprecedented in an :id-de- camp, in view of the fact that Whatever his verbal instructions were bis writien instructions empow- ered him only to gather information, and not to enter into any agreement at ali. They think it sin- gular, that in going so far beyond his instructions as to compromise the name of the President, he should have been a by any feeling ot deli- cacy from interceding in behalf of an American citi- zen of high character, held in duress after having been pardoned. They refer to Mr.’ Babcock’s friendly relations with Cazeneau, whose character, as shown from the testimony of Smith and Perry, is far {rom good, notwithstanding thas Secretary Fish had cau- Uoned him against that gentlemai. He further adveried to the testimony in the majority, saying that Babcock denied having adyised Perry before his departure not to 1utercede for Hatch, but admits having told him he considered Hatch’ guilty, and that he did not wiah to have anything to do with It, ‘The statement of Mr. Delmonte, the Dominican Attorney General, indicates clearly that in the Do- minican goveinient circles the Impression was cur- Tent that the United States Comuinissioners—viz.: Babcock and party—did not want to have Hatch re- leased, Mr. Gautier, the Dominican Secretary ef State, in reply to a demand of inpatd jor the relense of Hatch, wrote that Hatch was kept in prison for the reason of his liberation being considered wju- rious to the annexation business, Then Mr, Gautier requested Perry to refer the matter once more to the government at Washington, as if he had reason to expect from that piace a decision different from Perry’s demand. ‘Tne matter was referred to Wash- ington by Cazeneau in a letter addressed to Bab- cock. There was concert between the two. In that letter Cazencau related how he, in the presence of Baez, had deciared that it was not only @ Dominican President's right, but nis duty, to keep an Ainerican citizen in prison if that citizen might exercise an in- fluence injurious to the annexation scheme. The committee strongly reprobate this sentiment of Cazeneau, who Is himself an American citiz@n, Bab- cock communicated that letter to the President, and, according to Bubcock’s own testimony, the Prest- dent directed him at once to discontinue his corre- spondence with Cazeneau. Babcock, indeed, did not reply to Cazeneau, Hut referring to Cazenean’s letter he wrote @ letter to Perry. Did he condemn Cazeneau’s atrocious sentiments? Did he express his approval of Perry!s firm demand for the reiease of Hatch? We have aiready quoted that ietter from Babcock to Perry. It is the same ii which he ex- presses his regret at the differences which had sprung up between Cazeneau aad Ferry, tries to smooth them over, and says:— You will remember what I told you when I gave you a let- ter of introduction to Cazeneau, and I have yet to know per- sonaliy of any act of bad faith on his part. You will remem- ber that I had to write through General Cazeneau when Smith was Consul. Babcock was evidently not struck with Cazeneau’s infamous conduct with regard to Hatch as an act of bad faith, Even aiter all this he points him out to Perry as his confidentialtfriend. Equally significant is the conversauon which took place between Babcock and Perry on the 30th of May last, These statements are inconsistent with each other. They show that Babceck’s conversation with Perry at that date was utterly incredible, having in every respect the ap- pearance of the subterfuge resorted to in the face of an embarrassing question. It 1s evident that Bab- cock tried to convey impressions to the President's mind unfavorable to Hatch, The President having been informed, in March, of the sending of the order for the imniediate release of Hatch, and having at the same time directed Babcock to discon- tinue his correspondence with Cazeteau, the coin- mittee are forced to conclude vhat the President did not, at a subsequent perfod, express surprise or dis- pleasure at. the order having gone; that the displeasure was Babecock’s own, and that he used the President's name only with that unbecoming freedom with — which he had previously used it in the protocol preliminary to the treaty. Neither can the committee, from Bat) cock’s own admission, avoid the conclusion that all the influence he used with regard to Hatch’s case Was invariably directed against the incarcerated jan, while circumstantial evidence leaves but little room for doubt as to the correctness of Perry’s siatements on this subject. The minority submit the foliowing points from the evidence:— First—Hatch, an American citizen of trreproacha- ble character, was arrested by the Dominican au- thorities on charge of having aided a party of revo. luuionists, He was tried by a mnilitary commission and sentenced to be shot. The record of the trial showed that the whole proceeding was a barbarous farce. Second—Mr. Hatch was pardoned on the condi- tion that he would leave the country by a decree of the Dominican Senate officially published October 4, 1869. ” Third—Mr. Hateh_ was, in Spite of that decree, kept in prison tili the middie of March, 1870, Fourth—President Baez and his Secretary of State, Gautier, the latter in beret note addressed toa representative of the United States, stated as a reason for Hatch’g contigued tmcarceration after the decree of pardon that it was feared he would injure the annexation scheme if set free. Figith—Commercial agents of the United §States, Smith and Perry, used every means in their power to procure the release of Hatch. . Sixth—Babcock was sent tito St. Domingo as a eclal agent of this government, and, having au- thority to , na direction to war vessels of the United States im Dominican waters for the protection of Baez's government against foreign interference, not only declined to speak a single word in the favor of the refease of Hatch, but also discouraged others from doing so. The minority believe that aside from Hatch’s pecuniary osses he 1s, in consideration of the treat- Ment he received at the hands of the Dominican government, entitled to liberal reparation. They cannot close their report without declari their most emphatic dissent from the position taken by the apis oe ae the imprisonment of an American citizen abroad on the ground that he might exercise injurious imfuence, this or that way, with regard to @ question of public foterest, can be justified or excused under any circumstances. They reject it as doctrine ut- be ON ores to free ginstitutions, and unprece - dent in the history of this republic. They desire also to designate the insinuation contained in the majority report, that this investigation is instituted jor the purpose of assall- ing the executive braneh of the government, as un- called for and frivolous, ‘'Phey would be sorry to think that the executive would construe as an attack @ fair investigation into the conduct of its agents. The report is signed by Senators Schurz and Ferry, who recommend the following resolutions:.

Latterly Madame De Ghent has been filed with the idea that her husband was devoting many atten- tions which she conceived of right belonged to her to two young ladies of the neighbourhood. ‘The upshot of the matter was that on Friday night a fierce domestic quarrel broke out in the habitation of the Ghents, in the midst of which the professor forgot his proverbial gallantry aud actually beat his wie in @ fearful manner With & sharp pointed umbrella, inflicting several severe gashes on the scalp.

The si: uation was explained to the Mayor and he was urged to take such action as would prevent them from being dis- charged from their position a! the Park. Mr. Kalb. fleisch replied that he did not Know what they would do IP THERE WAS NO PARK, and for his part the question was before the court, where ir must be decided, Next week he would probably sign enough bonds to enable the work to go on until @ final decision should be rendered by the Court of Appeals. Mr. W. CO. De Witt, Corpora- ton Counsel, was next INTERVIEWED BY THE COMMITTER. ‘That gentleman came forward on the steps of the City Hall and addressed the workmen as follows:— FELLOW OrrizBNs—1 sympatiize deeply in your aistrese, 1 was opposed ‘rom the start to this Ltiga- tion, but his Honor saw fit to take other counsel. ‘The Common Councii has the power to say whether Uns litigation shall proceed or stop, and 1 have pre- pared #& communication requesting thelr action.

PROSPECE PARK FAIR GROUNDS. Trotting for Plute—A Pleasant Day, Little Sport. ‘The programme at the Prospect Park Fair Grounds yesterday alternvon was not very attractive, only one trot being announced and but two of the three horses entered coming to time, These were Mr. Jackson's bay gelding Mystery and Mr, Jarvis’ bay mare Addie Webb. The race was for a piece of plate for members’ horses, nile heats, best three im five, {u narneas. Mystery was « great favorite previous to the siart, but after the first heat, which the mare won very easily, she had the call in the pool selling. The club stand was not decorated as usual by the members’ female friends, and, notwith- standing that the weather was delightfully warm, the sport went off coldly. The spectators not interested in betitng took very little interest in the contest, and seemed pleased when it was over. The manage- ment, however, are not to blame for this, a3 a fine day's sport had been arranged for the occasion, but unfortunately all of them had become lame or sick. The match between Mr. Parks’ and Mr, Alley’s four- year olds was postpoued for thirty days for the rea. son that both of them were too lame to start. The other trot contemplated was between Black Crook, Tom Breeze and Robin, and which would have peen @ most Interesting affair, fell through for the same cause as the first, and the race that came off yester- day Was substituted at the last moment. The time made was very good for road horses, The following are the details of the race:— First Heat.—As soon assthe word was given Mys- tery broke up and Addie (ook a commanding lead to the quarter pole im forty seconds. Mystery broke again on the backstretch, and when Addie passed the half-mile pole in 1:195; he was a dozeo lengths behind. Mystery broke @ third time on the lower turn and Addie was taken in hand. The gelding broke once more aud the mare jogged home a win- ner by a dozen lengths in 2:443¢. Second Heat,—Yue mare had the callin the betting. The horses had a very even start, but before they reached the turn Mystery broke up and the mare opened a gap of six lengths to the quarter pole in thirty-nine and a half seconds. Going down the backstretoh Mystery broke up the second time and the mare increased the gap to the half-mile pole in 1:20, One hundred to thirty was ihen offered on the mare without takers. On the lower turn Addie Webb broke up and lost two lengths. She was four lengths in front at thejthree-quarter pole, and came in a winner by three lengths im 2:42%, Third Heat.—The betting now ceased on the race and a few started for Lome, having seen enough. ‘The horses had & good start and went very eveniy around the upper turn, the gelding making a skip, but not losing much by the mishap. When they reached the quarier pole Addie Webo was two jengths in front of the geiding 1n forty-one seconds, Mystery gatued on the mare down the backstretch, but broke up and the mare was four lengths in front atthe half-mile pole, She broke up twice on the lower turn, and Mystery passed her and led three lengths to the three-quarter pole. Coming up the homestretch, the gelding leading, he broke up and the mare Went in a Wiuuer by alength in 2:46.
