The cure for the troubles of the Dominion is
not, after all, difficult to find Annexation to
the United States is the real panacea. We
are well assured that there are germs of revo-
luton all over the Dominion. The latent heat
exists, and it only requires little effort to fan
it into flame Let the effort be made by all
means. Let the cry be raised for immediate
annexation, and the Dominion will be surprised
to find how thoroughly republican it has
already become. Annexation would give the
Dominion peace and prosperity, and Great
Britain would not much object.

HAYII AND ST.. DoMINeo.-It is cause for
sorrow to find that the beautiful island of St.
Domingo. one of the richest certainly of the
West Indian group, is still prey to the wild
est kind of anarchy. The confusion existing
in both sections of the island has no parallel
out of Mexico. Hayti is at war with itself
and with Dominica. Dominica is at war with
itself and with Hayti. II is rottenness and
corruption all over. 1t never can be anything
else so long as negroes and mixed races, more
feeble even than negroes, hold possession Of
the island. There is only one cure-annexa-
ton to the United States. II is not convenient
to annex it just yet. Let the Presidential cleo
ton be got over, and then let the eagle spread
its broad wings over St. Domingo and give it
peace, happiness and prosperity.

Nova Scotia and the Now Dominion.

The Nova Scotian difficulty Is not yet
over. Prime Minister Macdonald and his
friends have not been warmly received in
Halifax SO far as we can judge from our
latest news their mission has been failure.
II is stated that they have received attention
from the Lieutenant Geernor and others, but
that no demonstration of a public kind has
been made in their favor. Meanwhile com
mttee of seventeen, with Mr.. Howe as chair
man, has been sitting with the object Of de-
vising the best means for a repeal of the union.
At the same time we find that In Lower
Canada vigorous efforts are being made to
secure the independence Of the entire Do
minion. Lodges having this object In view
have been extensively formed throughout
Canada. This latter commands our admira-
ton more than the paltry Nova Scotia BUSINESS.

Our Watering Places-The Correspondents.
What is the matter with the newspaper cor
respondents from our watering places? We
have enumerated these multiplied summer re-
sorts and set forth their manifold attractions.
They are at this moment thronged by thou
sands of visitors, representing all the COM
Portable classes of our metropolitan society.
dents offer scarcely any graphic descriptions,
either Of natural scenery or of the varieties of
life and character, which might be studied to
such advantage by vigilant and thoughtful OBJ
servers. For the most part these letters are
intolerably nane, frivolous and unnteresting.
Perhaps, in some instances, the excuse which
the writer's may plead is that the inanity and
frivolity of so-callcd fashionable" life at
watering places are only too faithfully re-
Elected in their letters. But even these fea.
lures might sharpen the pen Of vigorous
satirist. From Newport, indeed, we have re-
ceived some statistics about its horses and car
riages and cottages, and these statistics are at
least more valuable than any trivial gossip
about the idle visitors to that charming place.
From Saratoga, with its eighteen thousand
guests and the whirl and rush Of a dissipation
not surpassed at Baden Baden and other fash
iOnable gambling places on the European Con-
tinent, we have had spirited descriptions of the
races. From Long Branch (our American
Biarritz) where deep and extensive political
plans are deliberated upon and formed and
where the new Emperor Of Tammany peter
Bismarck Sweeney holds high court, with q
black mustache to the right of him and a green
one to the left of him, we obtain more or less
interesting and important political news and
speculations the ultimate value of which
time alone can reveal. But with these
few exceptions we must repeat our
condemnation of the stupid and silly and
tedious letters which the newspaper cor
respondents are now inflicting upon the public.
Let US hope that they will yet supply the de-
mand Of the general reader for something
better. The approaching visit of the yacht
club, under command of Commodore IStebbins,
to Newport and other famous watering places
on our coast will no doubt stir up all the
latent elements of refined social enjoyment
within the cultivated circles at each of these
points, and the correspondents can then COM
plain of no lack of entertaining topics. At
any day we may hear from Long Branch Of
some new and startling scheme or complication
that shall render the present political confusion
still worse COMPOUNDED. Nor would il be
strange If amid all the scenes of dissipation
and vice at Saratoga some correspondent
should discover a man more wicked than the
wickedest man in New York, II not even a
woman anywhere else.

POSSIBLE PRESIDENTIAL COMPLICATIONS
There are half dozen possible Presidential
complications which might ultimately result in
civil war. Suppose there should either be no
election, or one so closely contested that two
rival Presidents and two rival Vice Presidents
should stand forth in sight of the bewildered
and excited people. What then? The only
safety against this danger is to be found in an
overwhelming vote of millions Of the people
against the selfish Vaccinations of a few hun
dred thousand politicians and In favor Of
General Grant ~ President Of the United
States

Tue Democratic Middle About Governor.

The Democratic Middle About Governor.
The democratic politicians are getting as
much muddled and troubled about their can
didate for Governor as they were few weeks
ago about their candidate for President. Girls
void, the republican nominee, has been in the
field since the first week in July and is making
Roadway every day His connection with the
working interests of the country, the extent
of his great iron business and his we'll known
freedom from all the Puritanical notions that
have rendered his party so unpopular at this
end of the State are all working in his favor.
He is recognized among the Germans as the
champion Of free lager, and while they are
declaring in his favor the rival democrats on the
two sides of the East river are squabbling and
fighting among themselves. In New York the
Baron Won Hoffman is the favorite and
demands the nomination, which he would
probably have secured without difficulty but
for the opposition of Misther Murphy, the
Senator from Kings, who brings nearly half of
Brooklyn and large number of country
democrats from the western part Of the State
prize with Tammany. Hoffman has already
tried his mettle in the race (two years ago., and
as he was beaten then he should be satisfied
and get out of the way. Murphy POUNDS his
claim principally upon the fact that, as mem
Der of the Democratic National Convention,
he submitted the resolutions which form the
platform of the party in the present contest.
This, however, is very small recommends
ton in his favor, as, in the first place, the
platform is mere twaddle, and in the next
place Buffalo democratic editor, and not
Senator Murphy, was its author. As Hoffman
has already received a nomination for Governor,
and as Murphy platform claim is bogus, and as
both these politicians have given trouble
enough to the party, we propose new deal
altogether Let the democracy nominate Will
liam Cassidy, the butcher boy of the State
capital, for Governor, and finally dispose of
Hoffman, Murphy and poor Church. We
opposed Cassidy when he desired the nomina-
ton for Secretary of State, but we support
him for the nomination for Governor-a posi-
ton to which he is better entitled than either
Hoffman or Murphy Cassidy commenced
life as butcher boy for the Dutch citizens of
Albany; he has been the butcher boy for the
democratic party ever since, and has per-
formed his duties we'll. We have had occasion
to christen him Confidence Cassidy in times
past but as this is the season to forget and for
give and to live together in peace, we bury the
Ratchet, and call upon the Democratic State
Convention to recognize the services of their
ablest editor and bulliest butcher boy, and to
place William Cassidy at the head of their
State ticket

territory lately taken from the Pspal domain
and annexed to the Stree" kingdom which is
held In France, and then turn to the inhabit-

looks very much like robbing Peter to pay
Paul, and augurs either an empty treasury in
Florence or wholesome fear of Napoleon.

Dinner az Auburn-InspectiOn Of the Aubura
Water Works.

AUBURN, August !, 1885,
The Embassy remained rather quiet during the
forenoon. At one O'Clock this afternoon they with
large number Of invited guests sat down dinner at
the table OF Mr.. Christopher Morgan After the dinner

Company. Upon arriving there the two Tsien he
came very much interested IN the working Of the
ponderous machinery by which the water Is forced
through the mains and supply pipes which traverse
every part OF the city, Chih Tajen especially was
quite dlligent in his inspection OF the wheels
and the force pumps the register, pulleys, lever,
pipes. &C Mr.. Brown, one OF the accomplished
secretaries, explained portions Of the work. Durne
their stay at the engine house column OF water was
thrown into the air perpendcularly about one hun
dred and fifty feet, which, to the Embassy, seemed
TO be considerable OF a feat.
After the tour OF the water works the ,party re.
turned to Secretary Scward's paying MIR. Miles

nguished visitors viii complete their visit here thus

DOUBLE MURDER,

A horrible double murder was COM
mitted near Anderson, lndianna, on
Saturday. The murderer, George
Stateler, went to the house of an old
man named Eisnagle, and requested the
loan of his horse. On being refused he
swore vengeance, but went away some
time during the evening". returned, and
commenced abusing the family. He
was ordered to leave the house, which
he refused to do. Mr.. Eisnagle's sons,
William and Isaac, aged respectively
sixteen and nineteen years, undertook
to eject him from the house, when
scutiie ensued, during which Stateler
drew pocket-knife and stabbed Will
liam four times, penetrating his heart
and killing him instantly. He then
fought Isaac, and threw him on board
and stabbed him in the heart, causing
instant death. He next went into the
room where the old gentleman was ly-
ing on bed, and attempted to stan
him, but the old gentleman struck him
with stick and broke his knife. lie
then left the house and fled to the woods
but was arrested yesterday and is now

OUR ooRDoNsvrIIE CORRESPONDENCE.

GoRDoNsvILLE March 10, 1868.
Spring season has come, and every
one seems to be suffering from the
Spring reversed called in polite socie-

ness. While 1t is too pleasant to re-
main within doors, all who have any old
clothes: don them and promenade be-
fore the doors of those who are so I'M
fortunate as not to be supplied. Be-
longing to the latter class aforesaid, we
have been able to gather but few items
current among the gossips. Be IL I'M
derstood. that the ladies are not included
in this category-au oOntraire, all is quiet
behind the curtain.
The topic exciting most interest at
this time, is the correspondence referred
to some time since, concerning the Me-
mortal Association. The Executive
Committee will make no reply, further
than to publish simply the facts, and
leave the judgment with those who feel
| interested.

| tory will certainly be started here be-
fore very long. The fixtures. necessary
i for operation, are already purchased:
and the building, which is to be three
story brick one, will be located some
where near the Central Depot.

Gratis are to be allowed few hours tor

ranged the Radicals will be silent, and
probably without dissenting vote pass
the bill tomorrow evening, or on the
next day. The Radical Senators are
known to be divided in opinion upon
the propriety and legality of the pro
posed bill. and there is great doubt
about its passage by that body. But u
Radical managers of the project shall
