Particulars of Taking Possession by
the United States.
Terms of AnnexatiOn---Ths Cost
not to Exceed $2,O00,000.

NEW YORK, November 27.-Gen.
BabcOck was accompanied by Gen.
Ingalls, on the steamer Albany for st.
Domingo. BabcOck had in his pos
session sealed instructions from the
President, directing him as to what
course he should pursue in the negO
tiations with the Baez Government.
These instructions were not to be
opened until the steamer should get
to sea, nor the proposition for the an
neXatiOn from Baez-he having aSsu-
rance previously OF. a favorable con-
sideratiOn by this Government.
President Baez has made preparations
to submit the question of annexation
to the votes of his people, and thus OBJ
tain the popular endorsement of the
measure. This election will occur
Immediately after the arrival at st.
Domingo of Babcock and ingalls,.
After the election, supposing the re-
suit to favor annexation, Baez' Com
miSsioners will visit the United States
and present their petition for admis-
sion. The tarms 0f annexation will
be the assumption Of the debts OF the
Republic, amounting to less than a
million, and the purchase Of the pub
lie buildings, forts, ETC., of the State,
which will amount to not more than
q million.

| inevitably prove the truth of my DO
sitiOn. All the several PROPOSE
tiOns, that will make a plausible
show before the Convention, will
grow out of one principle, and refer
to one ObiRNFs{te eLeetire franchise, and
the D1OdeSIn which it is to be eXer-
cised. All of our institutions {" that
lCere") whether State or Federal in
their character, are founded in the as
sumption Of three great political truths
lst, that a Tree government is the best
calculated to promote human happi-
ness; ID, that the sovereignty resides,
of right, and in fact IN the people, 81,
that the best mode of administering
the government is by properly quail
fed and accredited agents, iRStead Of
the people, personally. This is no time
to debate the truth or falsity of the
above assumptions. | do not, indeed,
for myself, hesitate to declare my I'm
qualified belief, that they are clearly
consOnant with all the details of rea-
son and truth; and believe that eX-
press the opinion OF every individual /

But / allude not To these /
principles, either to justify or /
TO condemn them. l only desire to /
call the attention of aspirants seeking .
a place in the Convention to the fact f.
that all our institutions rest in these /
great principles of representative re-
Du5licS, republican in this, that they
repOse the entire sovereignty solely
in the people; representative in this,
that that sovereignty shall be eXer-
cised through the administration Of
agents or representatives, and not
personally by the people. Nor is it
my intention to inquire who are the
people, in whom the sovereignty is
opposed to reside. Some may think

Contradiction of a Dispatch in Re-
gard to a Spanish Fleet.

HAVANA, November 27.-The dis
patch published in the New York
Tribune yesterday, telegraphed here
"that the Spanish fleet had been or
dered to rendezvous in New York
harbOT, and that President Grant had
ordered the United States vessels of
war to cruise in said harbor," is COM
mented on by the DidTiO in its issue
of to-day. The DjdriO refutes the
statement that any Spanish feet has
received orders to go to New York,
and characterizes the story as an in
ventiOn of the friends of the insurreC-
tiOnists, and says the Ti'ibl01e'S object
is to turn the American people
against Spain.
The DidriO advises its friends
among Americans not to place any
reliance in such rumors, which are
started by conspiratOrs and published
for the purpose of producing irrita-
ton,
Adyices from the interior are, that
hunger and misery prevails to an
alarming extent.

A PROTESTANT " PROTEST. 4"
The Recent Evangelical Conference in Phil
adelphia.
Cor. Chicago Republican.


Late last evening, after the close OF
the anniversary meeting OF the three
great Evangelical societies Of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, which
were held IN the Church in the Epiph-
any, the Evangelical Conference y
passed unanimous vote, requesting
certain Bishops named in the resolu-
ton to inquire if there be cause OF
cresentment for trial of any Bishop of
the Church for alleged teaching Of
false doctrine"
The resolution was presented by Dr.
Alexander IL, NintOn, of New YORK,
and was passed mem. oOn. by a. rising
vote. a feeling Of the deepest sQlem-
nifty pervaded that large assembly,
embracing, as it did, many of the most
distinguished clergymen and inhuen-
d8l laity Of our Church. The Rev.
DIR. O. d. Butler occupied the chair,
and ali present appeared fully to real
ize that a great Crisis had now been
reached in the Protestant Episcopal
Church. The document asking this
action was at once signed by the
members of the Conference then pres
ent, and will be printed and dissemi-
mated for signatures Of both clergy and
laity throughout the Church. 1t is
well known that the prelate alluded
to is Bishop WhitehOuse, and that the
false doctrines are those contained
in his two last convention addresses,
and which called forth the protest "
which has excited so much attention
throughout the Church.
It will now be decided whether men
high in office are to be permitted to
hold their positions, and at the same
time seek to snbyert the glorious
principles in defense of which the
martyrs Of the Revolution shed then
blood.
On the previous evening, at the an
niversary meeting of the American
hurch Missionary Society, Bishop
Cumm,'ns, OF Kentucky, delivered an
address Oi wonderful power, which
created profound effect. Among
other striking declarations, the BishoI
stated his convictions that tive should
never get the priesthood out of the
Church until the priest was elimina-
ted from the prayer book"

ERIE AGAIN.
Another Suit Against lin. Fisk & Co.

NEW YORK, November 2.-An-
other suit has been commenced against
the Erie Railway Company by Rogers
Locomotive Works, of Patterson,
which charges that exorbitant freight
age has been demanded for transpor-
tatiOn over the Erie Railway from
Patterson to, Jersey City, and trans
p0rtatiOn is sometimes refused unless
through an Express Company to
which directors are specially partial.
In consequence of the revelations re-
suiting from the investigation of al
legged frauds in the affairs of the Eric
Railway, a Judge of the Court of APP
peals, now in session at Trenton
stated yesterday that the affairs of the
railroad companies of New Jersey
ana particularly the New York Cen
trail Railroad, were about to be SINH
larly OYerhauled.

SUGGESTIVE.
The ex-PresideHt of the COafedsraCy and
the ex-PresideRt of the Union.

That the ex-President of the late
Southern COnfederacy, and the late
ex-President of the United States, al
one time the heads Of the two armies
opposing each other on this continent,
should have taken up their residence
in Tennessee almost simultaneously
the one in the western portion OF the
State, and the other in the eastern sec
ton, is suggestive of the strange vi
cissitudes of revolutionary periods,
and reviVes peculiar "reminiscences OF
thestirring events that have transpired
in this once peaceful Republic within
the last eight years. Immediately
preceding the war a strong prejudice
existed in the minds of many in Ten
nessee against the Hon. Jefferson Da-
Wis, of Mississippi, Obiiterated almost
entirely by the war. Yet We can re-
member when he was very nearly
mObbed while passing through the
southeastern portion OF the State. a
little later, and the Hon. Andrew
Johnson was also very near being
mObbed while passing through Nir-
ginia from Tennessee, en- route for
the Federal capital. 1t is a noticeable
coincidence, that Tennessee, more in
nocent than any other State of the
Union in stimulating the passions
which resulted in the recent conflict ;
which made the most heroic efforts of
all her sister States to avert the threat
ened collision, and interposed herself
as a breakwater between the embit-
tered sections; which, ultimately in
vOlVed IL the dreadful carnage, fur
nished soldiers 10 both armies, and
sustained heavier LOSSES ia blood and
treasure than all others; and among
the first to engage in the work OF re-
Cancellation aud restoration, should
become finally the place of dOmicil OF
two Of the principal actors and direct
Ors of the storm of revolution. Two
illustriOus Presidents sleep beneath
her sod, "the sleep that knows no
waking" near and within her capi-
tai, md two living eX-Presidents,
chiefs Of two opposing powers, whose
cannOnades we're thundered over
their quiet Sepulchres, return TO make
their home within the borders of the
volunteer State Of the Union. The
circumstance is significant Of that
peaceful condition of the Center
State" which invites and welcomes
within her borders the humble and
the exalted alike, to make their homes
in our midst, to share OuR horn OF
plenty and unite with US in building a
great and powerful commonwealth in
the heart OF the continent of Ameri'
a.-AdShriUe Banner.

LEGAL.
A Decision Affecting Revenue
Returns.

Boston, November PA case
came before Judge Lowell, in
the United States Court, to-day, in
which the United States Assessor
claims that James a. Chadwick de
rived an income from the Boston
Lead Company, which he is connected
with, and had not fully reported it to
the Assessor. He demanded that the
books of the company be shown 10
him and he refused. The point in
contest is whether the United States
Assessor can compel citizen charged
with false returns of personal income
to show the books of corporation in
which he is concerned 1t is said that
If Judge LoWell's decision, which for
the present Is reserved, is adverse to
Chadwick, the case will be still further
tested upon the point that the United
States Assessor cannot compel citi~
zen charged with fraud in income re-
turns to produce his private books.
