THE CASE OF CAPT. HATCH,
OF SOUTH NORWALK.
The following message of the President to
the Senate, in compliance with aresolution
introduced by Senator Ferry, with the ac-
companying correspondence, throws all the
light upon the case Of Capt. Davis Hatch,
at present in possession of the Government.
Our allusion to the matter in a recent pub-
lished letter from Washington, awakened a
deep interest as to his fate both here and
abroad. Capt. Hatch is one Of our most
honorable and highly esteemed citizens,and
now that the government has been urged up
to this action by the persistence of Senator
Ferry, we have good reason to hope for- his
speedy release :

Mia Smith to Mr. Filth.
Sr. DOMINGO CITY, September 4, 1869,
sir: I consider it. my duty to bringto the knowl-
edge of the department the critical situation of Mr.
Davis Hatch, a citizen of the United States, who, it
is reported, is under arrest at Barahona.
Mr. llstch came to this country as the agent of a
company consisting of Mr. August Schell, and other
men of Standing. in the city of New York, for the
purpose of working the salt mountain of “Nciba”
and making a railroad to Barahona to facilitate the
shipment Ot salt. Mr. Hatch obtained the conces-
sion from the Spanish government. which was con-
firmed by the Cabral administration. When Mr.
Baez returned to power, . he sent for _1lir. Hatch, as
there had previously extsted un unfriendly feeling.
Mr. Hatch was brought by force on board a man-or-
war to this capital, but on my representstion, the
difficulty between himself and the President was a;-
ranged amicably, and Mr. Hutch was allowed to re-
turn to Baruhona. Some time since, Barahona was
taken by the revolutionary 'party, and they held it
some months; it was retaken three weeks ago, and
it was rumored that Mr. Hutch had been arrested. I
called at once on President Baez, who confirmed the
rumor, and said, that charges had been preferred
against him, and at: my request I was promised a
copy of said charges as soon as received by the gov-
ernment. Some two weeks havmg elu sed without
my hearing further, I called on the 29t of August
again on the President, and he informed me that he
had given orders to send up Mr. Hutch to this city,
but as he has not yet arrived, I feel great anxiety as
to his actual position.
i I I
I I 0
Mr. Hatch is a highly respectable gentlemen, and
as I have not heard from him for over four months,
notwithstanding that Baruhona is Within twelve
hours’ all of this city, I deem it my imperative duty
to report, the affair to the consideration of my gov-
srumcut.

Mr. Smith to 10. filth.
ST. DonrNGO ClTY, October, 8, 1860.
Sir : In my dispatch No. 941 Informed the, depart-
ment of the arrest of Mr. Davis Hatch, a Citizen 0
the United States, at Barahona, and thuthe had been
taken to Azua for trial, on charges of aiding the rev-
olutionary party. 0n the 12th ultimo Mr. Hutch was
brought to this city on the schooner of war Alta Gra-
cia, and although sick at the time, was lockedup in
rison, and incommunicatcd _f.or forty-eight hpurs.
was present at his examination by the authorities,
and in his answers to the interrogatories he denied
having in any way interfered in the revolutionary
struggle at present going on in this republic. 0n the
18th liltimo he was again placed on board the. Alta
Gracia and conveyed to Azua. where he was tried by
a court~martiul, and on the 2d instant he was. con-
demned to be shot; the sentence was immediately
forwarded by express to the President, who referred
it to the “ senatus consultum,” and that body deci-
ded to pardon Mr. Hatch, and an order from the gov-
ernment to that effect was sent to Azua,_uud I under-
stand he is atliberty and will receive his passport.
Mr. Hatch informed me while here, that on the re-
oceupctlon Of Barahoua by the government troops
his store was twice pillaged, and when he was com-
pelled to leave, be abandoned a valuable cargo of
wood, prepared for shipment, likewtse other proper-
ties und effects. I am promised by the government
a copy of the proceedings, and until I examine the
testimony I cannot give an opinion. Mr. Hutch as-
sured me that his aecusers were men of the lowest
order, and not entitled to the least credit. As soon
as I am furnished with a full report of the trial I shall
forward it to the department.
Mr. Hatch was certainly placed in u very embar-
rassing position at Barahoua, as the place was occu-
icd first by one party andthon by the other; the Ca-
ralistas were in possession near three months, and,
as the residence of Mr. Hatch was the only decent
house in the town, the leaders of both belligerent
parties occupied it at their pleasure, with or withou-
license. Under such pecuhar and compulsory cir-
cumstances great allowances should have seen made,
and I consider the death sentence a most cruel and
barbarous stretch of power; it evinced a determina-
tion to punish Mr. Hatch to the last extremety, and
if ossible to break him down physically and men-
tal y. When it is considered that Mr Hatch is fifty-
sevsu years old, and also his respectability in the
United States, a member of Dr. Tyng’s church (St.
George’s) and, Ibelieve, formerly a vestrymau, his
sufferinrrs have been enough to impair both body and
mind othost men. ' ,

Sir : I have the honor to inclose an up lication for
the intervention of our government in behalf» of Mr.
Davis Hatch, a citizen of the town in which I reside.
Though I know nothing of the particular transac-
tions in which Mr. Hatch is involved, I am sure from
my knowlcdoe of the man, that he is not. a. conspira-
tor on any 51 e. He is simply amuu of business at-
tending to trade. I ho c something may be done
for him, and respectfc y request Speedy action.

of your letter of the slat ultimo, with two inclosures
‘eluting to Mr. Davis Hutch, Who was imprisoned by
order of the government of ,St. Domin , and to in-
form you in reply that Mr. J. Somers mith. United
States commercial agent at St. Domingo, reported to
this department on the 8th of October last that Mr.
Hatch had been tried by court-martial at Azua and
was condemned to be shot. The, sentence was lin-
medistely forwarded by express to the President,
who referred it- to the senatusconsultum. and that
body decided to pardon Hr. Hatch, and an order
from the government to that effect was sent to Azua,
. and he understood that Mr. Hatch was stliberty and
would receive his passport. No further information
has been received from Mr. Smith. Mr. Perry, the
successor of Mr. Smith as commercial agent, states
that ‘f Mr. Hatch, the American citizen who has
been imprisoned at Azua." had “ been pardonedon
condition he 1e ves the country." It is presumed
that Mr. Hatch as been released and may be en

to leave there on the 13th i presume the} mail has
been sent to St. Thomas by a. sailing vessel but as
there is no steamerfrom there cxce t on the 13th,

gret this the more as there seems to be now no hope
of my release until an order comes from the govern-

A communication; from, Mr. Ellen M. Dle-
montc.
O O i U I i D
It is Said the salt mine in the commune of Neiba
’bclongs to a North American citizen, and that he
was robbed of his rightful property by the caprice of
President Baez; but any one who has been in Santo
Domingo knows perfectly well the history of that
salt mine, and knows the Cerrero family, who are its
principal owners, by authentic titles and royal rents
the Spanish laws, belong, as do the mines, to the
Crown; but the government of Spain at that time of-
fered the salt mountain of Nciba at public sale, and
gave a deed to the representatives of the Cerrero
tamily, as the highest bidders at the sale, I- giving its
royal-title deed, which original document is still pre-
served, notwithstanding the length of time which
has elapsed since it was given. Since then. neither
could- the Spanish government dispose of the salt
mine. nor could the succeeding governments of the
country, as moral beings, responsible for the acts of
their predecessors; thus it was, that during twenty-
two years of Heytien domination, and notwithstand-
ing the law of July 8, 1.824, which stripped the citi-
zens of a great portion of their property, and not-
withstanding the laws of that state, the family in
question retained the exclusive ownership of the salt
mountain which is now supposed to belong to a
North American citizen.
' Thus passed years and glovernments; but in spite
of the indisputable owners ip and the immemorial
possession, m spite of that sacred law of continuity,
the government of Cabral awarded said mine to Mr.
Davis Hatch, as a privrlege auted to its discoverer,
a gross subterfuge whereby t was sought to cover up
a scandalous spotlatlon, smce the salt mine had been
discovered at the time of the conquest of the island.
and the inhabitants had worked it with the permis-
sion of its owners, and since the sovereign to whom
it belonged as a prerogative of the Crown, had sold
it forever and uncouditionaiy many years before Mr.
Hatch could have come into the world, much less to
Neibu, to see the mountain whose wealth he claimed
to have discovered.
The opposition journals should give fair play; they
must understand that the Dominican republic obeys
the laws which govern enlightened countries; that
it is no longer in those primitive times when the first
occupant acquired a valid title by long possession, or
when property Was acquired simply by force. They
must know that poor as is our republic, and little
known as she has hitherto been, she‘is acquainted
with the eternal principles that support and give
1‘ tire to states.
In view of the above, the grant made by Cabral to
Mr. Hatch could not remain valid, as well because
the sale or grant of the property of another is void in
law as because the assertion that Hatch had discover-
ed a mine worked by the public for the space of three
featuriea and a half, besides being false, was ridicd—
ous.
President Baez, respecting the property of the
Cerrero family, nevertheless offered the railway
grant from Neiba to Burshona, placing at the dis-
posal of the company the lands belonging to him,
through which the railway had to pass; while the
owners of the salt mines are disposed to enter into
private arrangements with the builders of the road.
This is the history of this so—cailed spoliution;
but what is very evident is that Mr. Hatch, full of
rancor on account of what had happened, availed
himself of certain persons in order to obtain per-
mission from the government to remain in those
paces agitated by he Haytien faction, and this
ermission having
'indners of the government by the most criminal
conduct. Ho converted his house into an inn.
which was the depot and arsenal of the faction;
there bullets were cast and cartridges manufactured;
he shielded with his nume_the property of the ene-
my; he gave, as a revolutionary authority, bills of
health to vessels which were smuggling in articles
of commerce and munitions of war; and he fur-
nished supplies to those who were carrying on hos-
tilities against our troops. Having been taken in
the act, and brought to trial, he was condemned to
be executed, butpardoned bythc executive power,
which did not assume the responsibility of imme-
adiately restoring him his liberty, but which will
be even more generous toward him, when the cir-
can do no mischief. The report' of the trial sent
to Washington will demonstrate the truth of this
statement.
'This report has not been received
W This last report would seem to be all
there is in the charges trumped up against
Capt. Hatch. The real cause of his barba-
rous treatment is well understood to be a
personal difference between the Capt. and
the present rcvalutionary rulers of ' the
island, and their fear of having him return
to the United States pending their annexa-
tiOn schemes.
Senator Ferry on Wednesday last brought
the subject before the - Senate, and moved

33' The Committec' of the Fairfield Coun-
ty Fire Insurance Company, opened their
books for subscriptions at South Norwalk,
as per announcement in the Gazette on Feb
280, and we understand from said Commit-
tee, that they have already received sub-
scriptions amounting to $125,000. The
books will be closed as per adv. in another
column, on the 22nd inst, so that all who
may wish to take stock in this Company
will see the necessity ' of subseribin’ght
away. As they now have over the amount
subscribed required by their charter, they
will proceed to organize for business imme-
diately. As about 7,, of the amount paid by
Norwalk people for insurance is paid out
of the town to foreign companies, it will be
seen that there is a vast field for a new in-
surance company here, without any neces-
sity of its interfering with the one already
existing. .

W The Winter term of the Down-Town
School closed on Friday week last; thus
closing its first year's existence as a graded
school. The school, under the able man-
agement of its Principal, Mrs. E. B. Smith,
is in a flourishing condition, and rapidly in-
creasing in public favor. The school con-
sists of three departments, viz: the Higher,
under the immediate charge of the Principal;
the Intermediate, under Miss F. E. Bradley,
who has been a teacher in the‘ district for
the past two years, and is giving good satis-
faction. The Primary,‘ for the last term has
been under the instruction of Miss J. Ray-
mond; she will be succeeded next term by
Miss I Ball, of this town.
In addition to the ordinary school brunch-
es, the rudiments of music have been taught
by Prof. Merriam, who has given lessons;
weekly a part of each Wednesday p m being
devoted to that purpose. The improvement
of the school in this respect reflects much
credit on the teacher of this branch. In ad-
dition to a good school-house and teachers,
this district is favored with an interested and
efficient committee in the person of .Mr. , C.
W. Le Count, who seems ready to cooper-
ate with the teachers and to do what he can
to promote the comert and happiness of
teachers and pupils. The next term will

The Concert given by the Hutchinson Family, at
311’s Hall, South Norwalk, on Wednesday "Chill
lust, under the auspices of the “Neptune Club" of
that piece, was a thoroughly enjoyable and successful
ufi'elr.
A lulu and select audience filled the Hall to over-
fiowlng, everybody seemingheurttly pleased with the
entertainment. And really they ought to have been.
for without 0 single exception it was the finest mu-
slcsl treat that the citizens of Norwulk have listened
to for many along year. No bsud of vocalists be-
fore the public given pleasing and us instructive an
entertainment as do the Hutchinsons. Their songs
are simple and home-like, end brim-full of that rich
melody which touches the heart, and fills the soul
with delight and wonder. N 0 one can besr them and
not be impressed with their cnnébllng influence.
John Hutchinson, the senior member of the com-
pany. is the some "alluring John" that we traveled
miles on foot to use than bOyhood am. Illa “Little
Henry" of them, now a grown-up, good-looking
young min; both possessing the same cultivated
voice, and the some irresistible power of msktns' f0“
laugh and cry; both Just as esruest and just us fond
0" singing their old familiar songs as ever.
Henry, in perfect keeping with his genius, kept
the house in a roar of laughter by hls~ eccentric and
“1191! executed dellneutious of character. His ren-
dering of “The Buhful Han," “Crowding Awfully,”
etc., could not possibly be improved upon.
John with equal success plsyed upon the more
melancholy chords of nature. "Patel"! bringing
tears to the eyes of his listener‘s, by his deep and
earest pathos. His ;sdmlrable rendition of “The
0¥stermsn" however, plainly showed that when any
to he was eminently qualified and able to do it. ,
These gentlemen were assisted by Hire Hinuie
Howard 3“ng a well-known and talented vocalist,
0‘ 3’10291’9". Conn, and Mr. Samuel B. Spinning,
at Present connected with the Hutchinson Family.
Th0” Persons contributed largely to the enjoyment
of the occasion.

nate in securing his services.‘ As 0 Baritone singer
we believe this gentleman to-heve few equals. The
i-cmurksble strength and compass of his voice ex-
mails II! we have ever heard. His rendering of
“10 "Orphsn's Lament" and "The Father's Love."
was heartily encoréd and appreciated by the entire
audience. As a comedian he is inesicteble, his
quaint songs and mirth provoking expressions tick-
ling his hearers almost into hystcrlcs in spite of
themselves. . ‘
Mr. David Disbrow, of South Norwslk another inu-
slclsn of unquestionable ability. also took part in
the entertainment and acquitted himself in u trill!
"Neptune" style. '
After the Concert, which lasted till late in the eve-
ning, the Club adlourmd to the Old Well Hotel, and
did excellent service to the feast of good things pre-
pared for the occasion. Speeches were mule by Hr.
Hutchinson,-Com. Tompkins and other members of
the club, songs were sung. Jokes run resilient, and
the utmost pleasure and good cheer ubounded. One
thing we noticed, much to the credit of this “nest of
brothers with a sister in. 1' " was the entire ub-
sence of spirituous liquors from the table; pure wu-
ter, and good coffe, being the only beverage. When
all annotations of this kind shall have adopted this
rule, then may young men join them and attend
their gatherings with no evil or untoward consc-
queuces.
Messrs. Fonts Bros. the gentlemunly and obllglng
purveyors of this delightful entertainment deserve
thcthanks of the Club for the excellent manner in
which it was conducted.
Upon the wholethe Neptune boys may well be
pleased with their impromptu re-nnion, for s more
interesting and enjoyable occasion humuot taken
place in our town for full many 0 year. - _
