FKOM SAN IOIIGO.
Another and a Successful Revolution-Ex-iraordinary
Instance of tne "One ITlnii
rbwer,"
Further news has been received from San Do
mingo, reporting another insurrection there, un
der very peculiar circumstances. The last news
was that Cabral had peaceably succeeded to Ple
mentel. On the 16th of October a party of insurgents
entered Azua and proclaimed Baez as president.
A number of the people of the province of Selbo
joined them, and they proceeded towards th
capitol, with cries of " Long live Baez !" and
" Death to Cabral !" . They evidently had
confederates in the government, for at
the critical moment, a curious scene took
place in the sup: erne congress, which was
in session, deliberating on the question of
the emission of paper money. A "mysteri
ous man " armed with a cutlass, entered sud
denly, and despite of all protests exclaimed
' General Cabral, are you in favor of peace V
" With all my heart," .was the reply. " Well,
then," said the stranger, " 1 am an emmissary o
the revolutio aiy chief, who will be here in less
than, two hours." And then, raising his voice,
Le exclaimed, " Long live General Baez, presi-
aeni. oi ine Dominican republic !" As these
words resounded through the hall, a scene of ut
ter confusion ensued. The ministers abandoned
their seats, and in terror sought protection in the
nouses oi tne trench, Italian, and English nnn
auls. Cabral, however, appeared in public and
aeciarea xnai u uie popular voice and welfare
demanded the rule of Baez he would gladly give
his consent. The popular feeling now turned in
favor of Cabral, and he retained power for several
weeks.
The mysterious man who had frightened the
congress soon appeared again. He proved to be
General Iedro GuiMermo, and managed so as to
have himself appointed dictator, until Baes
should arrive. An election was held on the 14th
of December by the constitutional assembly,
unanimously appointing Buenaventura Baez
president of the Dominican republic.
Cabral has accepted a military position under
the government, of which Gmllermo, the myste
rious man, is the practical head.

The general made a brief speech to the effect
mat he would endorse any measure calculated to

Governor Cony was inaugurated to-day, and
delivered his message to the legislature.
Referring to the military history of the state
during the rebellion, he says that Maine furnished
71,658 men, being mor than one-tenth of her
population. Five regiments and one battalion of
infantry still remain in the service. The records
exhibit the fact that of the soldiers Maine fur
nished, 8,446 perished, either being slain , in bat
tle, or died of wounds received or disease con
tracted in the service of the government.
He believes that some testimonial is due to the
memory of the dead, and equally to the more for
tunate living, 4as broad as tho authority jof the

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
Puplic Lectures. At this time, when money
is so much needed for public charities and bene
fits, particularly for the succor of the poor, would
it not be well to establish in Wilmington, a sys
tem for a regular course of public lectures 1 And
what organization is better calculated to take
in hand such a matter, than that of the Wilming
ton Library Association, (if there is indeed such
an association in existence.) The theatre belnT
closed, and public and private amusements of all
kinds having become less . with the departure of
holidays, the public mind is beginning to crave
something intellectual by which it can be satis
fied and amused. We therefore suggest as a very
probable success, the organization of a system
by which lecturers may be obtained, and lectures
delive.-ed. The late distinguished arrival, Mr
Davis, was formerly we think a member of the
Library Association, and probably is so now, and
we do not doubt, would accept without hesita
tion, an invitation to address the community and
deliver the opening address before the Associa
tion. A year or two before the war, this system
of public lectures was adopted, and once a week
for many weeks the elite of the city crowded to
the Theatre to hear those addresses. Mr. Davis
appeared as one of the lecturers of the season
and we have not yet forgotten the pleasure we
exierienced while he spoke from his theme
''The good old times." Possibly he may consent
to reproduce he same.
We offer these remarks to the gentlemen of
the Association, and to the community generally,
hoping that they may be acted upon. Thejcourse
proposed will certainly afford much pleasure to
our citizens, and at the same time, if a moderate
price of admission be charged, prove a means of
raising funds for charitable purposes.

Outrages at Beaufort.
We learn that the colored troops at Beaufort,
in this state, have recently been guilty of shock
ing outrages in the neighborhood of that place.
A squad of them visited the town of Beaufort a
few days since, violated the police laws, were ar
rested by Mayor Duncan, and sent to fort Macon
in charge of some of the town police. When the
police officers reached the fort they were threat
ened by the colored troops, disarmed, and thus
allowed to return to the town. Some of the ne
gro soiaiers, we learn, threatened to turn the
cannon of the fort on the town of Beaufort.
But this is not half. A few days skice a squad
of these soldiers went to the house of a white
citizen not far from the fort, and while the man
of the house and his wife were held, they rav
ished their daughter, a girl of fifteen years of
age. Another squad went to another house and
attempted a rape on a child of ten years of age.
We learn that four of these devils will be identi
fied. Let them be shot immediately. They
ought to be burnt at the stake for this horrid
crime.
We trust these colored troops will at once be
removed from Beaufort, and regnlar white troops
put in their place. One company of white regu
lars would be ample for both Beaufort and More

the north to a degree, that shows thev appreciate
the importance of the subject to the "enrral

"Let us then have, in this citv. or tonic other

The New York Evening Post savs : The young
vagabonds who infest this city, and particularly
the docks, and who live mainly by stealing, have
found a new field for their operations. They go
about the streets in parties wi;h little canvass
bags, and steal cotton in small quantities from
bales or other packages in which it is confined,
or from the heaps of cotton which are to be as
sorted and rebaled. The gangs are organize
and are divided into stealers and carriers, and
they work according to a system which they have
devised. The stealers are usaily the shrewdest
and most venturesome of the boys ; the others
carry the bags into which the cotton is put ;
though when the parties set out on their thieving
excursions, they all steal. When the amount of
the cotton secured becomes so considerable as to
attract attention, the boys separate; and after
the stealers have their hands and pockets full of
the cotton, they retire and empty it into the bags.
It is said the boys sell the cotton for twenty-five
cents a pound.

Homicide.
At an early hour on Monday morning a party
of five men, who had been out to inaugurate the
New Year, entered the lager beer saloon, 149
Messerole street, Williamsburg, N. Y., and called
for drinks. The barkeeper, perceiving that they
had been indulging in strong drink rather freely,
refused to comply with their demands, when ODe
of the party, named John Sbnrdoft, who had a
loaded musket in his hand, levelled it a) the bar
keeper, pulled the trigger and shot him through
the heart, causing instant death. The party then
escaped, but were subsequently arrested by the
police. The murdered man was named John

A Mormon, who has arrived in Chicago for the
purpose of marrying his fifth wife, writes the fol

On my visit to Chicago, I noticed an article in
the Tribune in regard to Utah. That Speaker
Colfax expressed a w ish that President Young
might have a "revelation prohibiting polygamy"
is to me a matter of some doubt. On the contra
ry, I have reason to know that Speaker Colfax
eloquently expressed his gratitude at the domes

mon born and bred, and the husband of four
wives, and, what may seem strange, my mission
here is one of love, to transplant a flower from
this sterile (morally) latitude to bloom and flour
ish in our happv home. We have no wish to be
admitted into vour "union" nor do we wish, at
one fell swoop, to be divorced from our wives
