government has negotiated treaty with
San Domingo for the lease of SANTANA
for period of fifty years, with the privi-
lege of buying at any time during the
lease for the sum of $2,O0O.000. The
annual rental is $4,000, gold TIE
treaty Is to be submitted, of course, to
the Senate for ratification.
-Sanana is port in bay of the
same name on the eastern shore of the
island of San Domingo. The town is on
a narrow peninsula which extends out
into the sea from the main land, and has
longsbeen regarded very valuable as a
depot for naval operations in the West
Indies.

During the month of November, the
Chinese of San Francisco sent thousands
of barrels of -four to Hong Kong, and
the latest adviees say that there are
many orders yet to be filed. Concern
ing this, the New York Express Demo
craft takes occasion to bang away at its
Democratic brethern in California. Tt
says.
This fact is commended to the con-
alteration of those who think it best to
keep the Chinaman at a distance, as an
emicrant. Commercial arguments to
enforce moral ideas, we know, are not
always the best arguments, but In this
instance the question has weights it
worth while to turn away a good GUS
toner for the sake of conciliating popu-
lar prejudice ?''

Report of Commissioner Wells.

The report of David A. Wells, Special
Commissioner of the Revenue, is very
long. The surplus crop of the South in
1865, he says, brought $500, 900, 900.
He places the present valuation of prop
erty in the United States at S23, 400, o00,-
600, an Increase of about $4,000, 900, 600
since 1860, or just about what the war
cost the country. We shall endeavor to
present some extracts from the report
hereafter.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR

oallour friends and to our enemies
too, if we should have any. This issue
is the last of the TRIBUNE for 1869; we
have been in possession of and editing
this paper for only seven months, but
have learned more in that time, than we
did before in seven years at the least cal
culation. The first lesson to us was, that
we had trusted, in our inexperience, to
supposed faithful friend and protesting
christian and got cheated; the next, that
there is quite difference in writing only
when, SO to say, you are moved by the
spirit, and In being compelled to write
with the devil behind you crying for copy;
another one was, that when we expressed
our views on some matters or things open
" and fearlessly, we found that we had
been knocking some of our best friends
on the head, who would consider our re-
marks personal and insulting In spite of
our strongest assertions to the contrary
then our pay would not come in as freely
as we had right to expect, and as pune
tually as we have to meet our liabilities;
then we dispIeased some by admitting
communica tons, without reading every
word before publishing, and others by
refusing to publish articles because they
appeared to US too personal or too void of
general interest; we have lost office and
public favors by declining to act contrary
to our convictions, in short we learned
very many and soma very serious lessons,
since we assumed the editorial nail keq of
the TRIBUNE. But still, as the Yankee
said, trying to quote Webster, ''we amt
dead yet" and what is better, we hope
still to liye," laboring on In our small
way for the good of our community if
not for our own pecun;ary benefit Our
subscription list is on the increase and
we feel grateful for it, and all we want of
of our friends is patience and forbearance
and occasionally a little encouragement.
Hoping for these. we too hope to en-
joy as we again wish to ALL
A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Contagious.

Last winter "loyal" township treas
urer in Clay township, BraxtOn county,
named ZEBEDEE BRowN, professed to
have been robbed of all the school
funds in his possession, amounting,
as well as we recOllect, to some
twelve or fourteen hundred dol
lars. His securities applied to the Leg
isIature for special relief, and bill was
passed releasing him and them from the
paywent of the money. The circun!-
stances connected with the case were
very suspicious, but as the treasurer
and his securities were severely 'loyal,"
they had but little difficulty in obtain
ing the legislation desired.
For some reason OF other misfortune
of this sort seems to be getting conta-
gious. We learn from the Weston Demo-
crat that one of the township treasurers
in Jackson county was recently "robbed"
of all the money which had come into
his hands. The Democrat gives the treas
urer's statement as follows:
zone evening, about dark, two men
came to my gate, and asked me t. come
out TO them. | went to them and they
told me TO return and bring my gun.
did as they desired me. One of the
strangers asked me to let him look at
my rifle; | handed it to him, and they
then demanded my money. took out
my pocket book containing all the mon
ey belonging to the township, and they
finding he money there started off with
money, rifle, and all. The next morn
ing l started in pursuit of them, and
found my rifle and papers on the road,
near my house, but the money was
gone
Next winter this man will be applying
to the Legislature for relief and will
plead the Brown case as a precedent.
In all probability the Legislature will
grant the application and before anoth
er twelve month every rascally treas
urer in the State will be robbed and re-
lieVed.

BorCman on CarIiIe.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald in narrating the clos.
ing business in the Senate says:
The nomination of J. s. Carlile was
next considered. Senator Boreman, of
West Virginia, made an earnest appeal
IN his behalf, and, besides informing
the Senate that it was the particular
desire of the President that he should
be confirmed, gave it as his opinion
that his confirmation would strengthen
the Republican party in West Virginia.
Boreman was right for once. He
wanted to get CARIILE oat Of the coun-
try knowing that his active co-opera.
tion would ruin any party and that the
only way to save the Republican party
of West Virginia was to rid it of the
CARLrLE connection. In that view OF
the case his confirmation would have
been source of strength,

Agricultural Items.

The Maine Farmer recommends giving
pigs good rock salt twice a week in
their food.
Tobacco cultivators in Virginia and
North Carolina are abandoning the
business as no longer profitable.
It's estimated that more corn is an
nually turned into whisky in the Sixth
District of Kentucky than would be re-
quired to fatten two million hogs.
An extensive fruit-grower, who has
set thirty thousand trees, says, as to
peaches, pears and plums, he prefers
them at one year old, and apples at two
years.
Lands are increased yearly in fertili-
ty by commercial fertilizers, plowing
under clover and other green crops,
buying oil meal for stock, with barn
cellar.
The occasional use of onions mixed
and fed to poultry with their ether feed,
is said to be one of the surest ways of
keeping yard Of poultry in health.
Don't keep a calf tied or shut up in
some damp, dark corner, with hardly
room enough to lie down. He needs
the sunshine as much as hens, or the
plants in the garden.
The New England Farmer advises the
construction of cistern or tank, of a
capacity of from two to four hogsheads,
to receive the soap-suds and slOps from
the sink and the laundry of each farm
house.
Remove all distractions to the now
ing machine from the meadow before
the grass gets sufficient start to hide
them from view. A days work on the
meadow now will save a good deal of
vexation at haying time.

Tree Roots.

The Editor of the Gardeners Monthly
says he found, nearly twenty-five years
ago, that the root fber8 oftrees were on.
ly nRual,-like the leaves, they die
every year. They have the same rela-
tien to the main roots as the leaves
have to the branches, except that while
the leaves are the preparers of food,-
the coOks,-the fibers are the providers,
the husbandmen for the cooks. Take
up very carefully young tree, and we
find that the tibers are nearly all on the
surface, and that they decrease in num-
ber and Importance with every inch of
depth. In the largest trees scarcely
fiber will be found one foot from the
top. Large roots,-tap roots,-you
may and will find, but no root that is of
the slightest benefit to the nutrition Of
the tree.

CarIiIe.

A discussion is now going on in the
papers as 80 CARIILE'S status. Some
argue that by the reconsideration of the
vote confirming him, the Senate vir-
tually rejected him. Others hold that
he occupies precisely the same position
as Gen. SICKLES, whose appointment
was not acted on. We agree with these
last. Our information from Washing
ton on Saturday night leads us to be-
lieve that GRANT will make out CAR.
LILIES commission and send him off on
his mission to Sweden, as the amended
tenure of office bill permits him TO do.
The anti CA2LMEISTS will be huffey
about it to be sure, but then GRANT is
not the President of any party" If he
keeps on in his mad career much loBger
he will not be the President of any
body. That's what's the matter.

A SANITY BODY,

The Chicago Tribune asserts that "no
previous legislative body has exhibited
such unblushing disregard of all the
requirements of common decency as
the Legislature of Illinois that is now
in session. Taken as a whole, the Leg
islature for 1869 has been reckless be-
yond precedent" OF course, the Radi-
Gals have large majority in this body.
