Mr. Davis Harew, an American citizen, has fur some years done business in St. Domingo. He was imprisoned by Barz, tho eharge being that ho was a partican of Canrar. The allegation that Marci was interested in Cabral’s Government was dis: proved by the testimony of the brother of Barz. Yet he was kept in prison from the time of the overthrow of Capran until the middle of March last, On Mr. HATCH’s release he claimed $58,547 from Barz—$50,000 for damages, and $3,547 of which he had been robbed by Barz. He weked the intervention of the United States to aid him in obtaining justice. The Senate appointed a Commitiee to investigate the claim. That Committee have made two re- ports full of astonishing revelations. During Hareu’'s imprisonment, Gen, Bancock ar- rived in St. Domingo as an aceredited agent from Gen. Grant to complete the bargain for the sale of St. Domingo to tho United States, It is in evidence, from an official note writ ten by Barz’s Secretary of State, that appli cations forthe :elease of Mr, Hater were rejected because it was feared thet he would “ divert tho public min] against annexation to the United States.” It is in evNence, from a letter written by Barz himself to Admiral Poor, that arcu ‘was not released because “ of his disposition to exert influences on public opinion detri, mental to the interests of Dominican annex- ation to the Un‘ted States.” It isin evidence that Admiral Poor, ina despatch dated March 12, 1870, said that Barz admitted to him that “Haren re- mained imprisonel because of his iuflyence rom w aye ‘ with the newspaper press and people of the Uni od States against annexation.” that when Mr. Perry en- avered to secure Mr, Hatcu’s release, Gen, Bancock told him “he had better not apply for Harcu’s rlcase until he (Bancock) Lad left the island, because Haren would work oga'nst the treaty It is in evidence that on May 20, 1870, Mr. Pexny met Gen, Bancock in Washing ter told him “ it was ad Tate r wd ilent was very weit about it” But by far the most important document unearthed by this Committee is a protocol agreed upon in Se)tember last, and signed by Gon, Bascock on the part of Gen Grant, and Maxver Manta Gactrer on behalf of Barz.

The following paragraph, taken from near the inning, may serve to give some idea of what it is like: “Within three houts after the news of the Austcian defeat at Sadowa reachat Bnde-Pesth tha Magyar patriots formed their plan for the recon straction of the empire on the basis of polftical, ners Sanat, and conaututional liberty, ‘The syatem, s hieh, hat been thoroughly digested, and which Deak, at least, if no other, kyow how to deduce fram the peaginatic wanction of CHanies VI, was an seknow b edawent ot tho dualism of the Auatrian empire and the equality of the two sepatute parts, with, a cons wnal concert of action. in general affairs, ef by a mecting of thelt rexnéctive deletes un+ ame Fmperor-King, Tho Hungarian mon, arcivg of Bt.

But wo protest against the ayetem that pays mea thousands of dollars a year for such triffi ——— —- The Financial Condition of the Country which President Grant is Afraid of, That Spein is hopelessly bankrupt is not A new and eonsequontly not a surprising statement; but the causes which have duced her to this condition are, we believe, not very generally understood, Among the incidental sources of this state of things may be enumerated the civil wars which lave devastated the Peninsula; the diversity of the laws, custome, and manners of the different provinces; the uncqual dis- tribution of property; and utter ignorance of the first principles of political science. But the primary, fundamental, and appa- rently ineradieable cause of Spain's financial decadence and ruin is the universal corrup- tion in which every public man there is steeped. Thus the supplanting of one Minister of Finance by another in Madrid always aggra- vates instead of diminishing the The whole object of the new incumbent, of what- ever political party he may be, is siraply to provide funds for immediate and ever-pressing. requirements, The amount of direct taxes is governed solely by the amount of wants, and they are imposed entirely irrespective of any fixed law, of any established principle, or of common sense, In like manner the customs ducs ere collected; and the main portion of the revenues, instead of gery ing the necessities of the State, goes in reality to enrich a few individuals. Few countries are richer than Spain in sol), in climate, or in other natural resources; but the greater part of the earnings of the work ing population is taken from them in the of taxcs, and yet the n al trea, is alweys empty The absolute requirements of life for a probably les# than those for any otlicr Enropean, He is blessed in gencral with good health; he is sober, strong, avd lives happily in a land and cli mate where by working one or two days he can raise the wherewith to subsist for a week, Abs date privation is consequently rare and lees severe there then elsewhere, We never hear of bread riots in Spain, as in the coun tries of Northern’ Europe, Tho salaries of Government employees, civil and military, are frequently unpaid for years; but by complaint the Spaniard knowa he could never obtain redress, All officials are sure to he supported by the Government The Spanish taxes alinost alwa direct, but the collectors are local, and the power is unlimited, A method of raising money which has heen used by every Spanish Minister of Finance is to tax articles) of primary necessity, and then farm out the taxes to mouopolists. The word “contra. band,” which elsewhere is almost universally limited to goods smuggled through the custom houses, is applicd in Spain to all goode pold by any producer without the con. sent of the person or persons to whom, for ey sh Spaniard in Spain are are ys ceriain considerations, the Government has Ywold the exclusive right of selling them in cot gt « altefet: When we know _ all mand meee iron, tobacco, ani in gomne fAstandes even flour aud bread, are made by the Goverament objects of monopoly for the sake of ready money, the wonder is, not that the exchequer of the nation is empty, but that the whole fabrio doce not fall to pieces. Tn sueh a ebuvtry, it is of contse aly surd to imagine that any one man, no matter bow able, could, remedy the evil. Indeed, the subterfages, peeulations, cor- Ttuption, and bribery whic so long continued and demoralizing a system has en- gendered, havo beeonte incorporated into the national charneter. ‘This dintitsed condition of the people will oveasionally find vent in rev- olutions, in which a few demagogues, for per fond! enda, manage to excite the masses; but A rad cA?

And yet thit fs the éountry Which Gen. Grunt fears “might destroy our ¢rippled commerce” if we dared to.do eur duty, rrr Cuba in the Senate. Whatever may be the finn) action of tho United Stated Senate on the Cuban question, nothing was more unlikely than that it should join the House of Representatives in passing the Brnaitam resolution, ‘This fesofufion’ did’ rot éxpreks the real feclitig of the country, but only the Wind deferen¢e of tho Republican, party tb their chief, It was gn illogical, dishonest, and eminently anti-American attempt at a comproniixe, By the Binotrist feéolution— passed only Ddedtise Président Grant said it waa not safe for Congress to siate the truth, which was embodied in the Banks retoluttons—the Executive is anthorined to i sist that men who are not acknowledged ds carrying on war at all shall desfét from . ing it on ina barbarous manner; and thea, because Gen, GRANT says we are not able to cope with Spala, it invites European nations to assist us i enforcing the Monroe dot- trine!

Senator, Soaxtr fs ea- titled to the thanks of the country for endeavoring to prevent @ national disgrace from being converted into an international one. The subject was to have been -eonsiderad in the Senate on Friday. Senator Tuunman of Ohio spoke against Mr. SuwNmn’s resola- tions, on the just ground that they donot propose to help Cuba in any practical manner; and then Mr. Cassenry of Califor nia took the side of Spain, at which his friends have reason to be surprised, Dogs Mr. Cageruy desire for the Democratic ‘porty the reputation of opposing the freedom of Cuba and the expulsion of European despotism from this continent ? About Selling Cadetships. The resolutions respecting the notorious Wairrevonr, passed in the Horse of Rep- resentatives on Tuesday, the 2ist inst., set forth that the said WITTEMORE *Cld make appointments to the Military Academy st West Point and the Naval Academy at An- napolis in violation of law, and that such a. pointments were influenced by pecuniary con- siderations; and that his conduet is con demned as unworthy of a representative of the people.” Afier lnying down a rule so clear and so unquestionable as this, would it not be well for the Houge to inquire whether President Guan hos made any appointments of Cop- perhead cadets at West Point at the request of A. 'T. Stewart, and whether euch ap- pointments were or were not influenced by pecuniary considerations—that is to say, by money previously given to one party by the other? etnias a The Negotiations for the Sale of Cuba. A ramor was current in well-informed circles in Washington on Saturday that ne- gotiations had been almost concluded for the cession of Cuba by Spain to the Cubans, under the joint guarantec aud protectorate of England and the United States. ‘The money to be paid is in some way to be for the benefit of Spanish bondholders, whose only chance of realizing anything has for many years been a sort of vested right in the island, The greatest difficulty in the negotiations pending for some time has been the enor- mous debt of the Spanish Bank of Havana, amounting to-day to about thirty.two mil- lions of dollars, For although the Colonial Government is indebted to this institution some twenty millions of dollars, the Spanish Government is in nowise liable for it; and when properly considered, it is rational that neither the Spanish Government nor the Cubans should be willing that any part of this indebtedness should enter into the contract. This money has been used by the Span fards In Cuba equally to subvert the orders and nominees of the Spanish Government and to crush the Cuban patriots, By tho agency of the money raised on the credit of the Spanish Bank, Gen, Dutcr was ed, and the volunteers have been enabled almost to dictate to Madrid, On the other side, but for this money the Cubans would probably long ago have whipped the Span- jiards out of the island. The paper of the bank is ma'nly held by the Spaniards in Ha- vana, and hence their efforts to make its re- demption an indispensable condition of the transfor of the island, Of the innate justice of Cuba by Spain today, it is no: vovince now tospeak. A nation, like an individual, is generally supposed to be entitled to sell only what it can deliver; and that Spain should sell what she has in vain, been en. deavoring for twenty months 1 grain pos: session of, is at least eightly anomalous, If, however, the purchasers are satisfied with their share of the bargain, we cannat seo who can raise any valid objection to it, —— Notwithstanding the frequency of sun- stroke, in weather like that which we are now enduring, probably not one in a hundred persons knows just what to do for the refief of the suf- forevs by it, We sent yesterday to a police station ia this neighborhood to learn what ine structions were given to patrolmen for the treat- ment of the malady, but all the answer we got was: “Telegraph to Police Meadguarters for a snstor of A hototicus thief, Aistrisett: by: hit em.” ployers becausehe was caught stealing and Gon. vieted of it by an impartial (Hbdhat, has taken up the defence af Mr. A.
