Whenever Louis NAPOLEON is in trouble,
he causes his police SCENTS to concoct stories
about attempts upon his life and the blowing up Of
his residence. But he seems to forget that these
stories are beginning 10 lose the sfdee OF novelty
and that people are not going to yote for his
plJisoite because he gives it out that somebody
wants TO Kill him. The enemies of DonapaItism
are well aware that assassination aud destruction
ofpublc property would only secure sympathy for
tho usuper and his family and they not likely
to strengthen his cause by resorting to such des-
pcratc acts. Nevertheless, many Of the ignorant
peasantry are credulous enough to believe these
DoSAPARrE fables. although up TO the present
time oil the murders and outrages have been
committed by the BoSArARrBs themselves. II
YIcToR Nom Lad shot PIERRE BoSAPARrE instead
Of being murdered by him, there might be some
excuse for getting up new stories Of FIEscm and
0RsISI conspiracies. But as the case stands, the
alarm raised by the Emperor is nothing but the
cutlery Of the culprit who shouts Stop thief"

The paper Of the st. Domingo Bouk has
just been protested in this city. This institution
is one Of the branches Of tho annexation move
ment II exists by virtue of q special grant con-
tanned in the contract Of BAEz with the parties
who have been engineering the annexation
treaty. The grant gives them an exclusive right
TO carry on banking business In st. Domingo for
an indefinite period. Being anxious to have the
bank in actual operation before the nncxation Of
the island, they have gone down there without
waiting for the necessary preliminaries Of raising
capital and establishing connections. The prin-
cipal business which they have been doing there
is the sale Of bills Of exchange upon New York.
As the bank has no funds here and no credit its
practice has been TO send the money in the same
steamer in which the bill Of exchange was for
warded, for which they had received the money
Usually there is but one vessel. a steamer,
monthly between st. Domingo and the United
States. In the case Of the protested paper, how
ever, the purchaser Of the bill embarked on
board chance schooner and arrived in New
York some ten days before the steamer by which
the managers Of the bank had supposed that he
would come. His bill of exchange was not large
only about ten thousand dollars-but, on pre-
senting IL, the answer was that there were no
funds, and il was protested accordingly. This is
a bad beginning for the banking department of
the great annexation scheme.

An act passed by the Legislature on the

The silence of the Cuban cable on any in

last not syllable other than the prices Of sugar
and exchange has been passed over it.
Not from one, but from various sources We
know, ,,hat we suppose everybody watching the
Cuban movement knows-exccpt Mr.. FIsn-that
the Havana volunteers have inaugurated open re-
bc,Iion against the authority of the mother coun-
try. Before this the two champions, one bent On
retaining control in the name Of chaotic Govern

TpUmpULL AND sUMNER.

Senators Trumbdll and Sumner have
had quite a pugilistic war Of words over
the Virginia bill, now before the Senate.
Mr.. Trumbull is regarded as rather too
conservative TO meet the views OF the
more radical members of his party, OF
which Sumner is a shining light. The
New England Senator has, at all times,
been the moulh.piece of Puritanic hatred
toward the South. He never has, since
being member of the Senate,
let an opportunity escape when he
could perform mean and spiteful
act toward the people of this section. He,
among the rest, are opposed to the ad
mission Of Virginia, and after the State
has complied with every requirement laid
upon it by Congress. On account Of
this oppo,ilion to the bill, hs and the
Senator from Illinois we're brought 10
contest. During the debate, Trumbull
as good as accused.Sumner oftelling lie,
and said his conduct was unbecoming a
gentleman. Sumner, of course, took oil
in good part-as he did the thrasbing
given him by Brooks.
