SAN DOMINGO,

D. P, in one of his recent Washing
ten letters, reviews the President and his
message On the San Domingo proposition
In referring to "the President in the
Lobby" he says:
There is an apartment in the capitol
called the Presidents Room. 1t is gorge
ously finished and furnished. The walls
glow with gliding, marbles and mirrors,
while the ceilings are rich to surfeiting
with frescoing. From years end to
years end the rich velvet cushioned
furniture of this room remains undis-
turbed, unless by curious visitors, save at
ing hurried to q signature before the fixed
hour of adjournment, when the Presi
dent, with his Secretaries, come to aid in
the closing legislation by giving his name
as required by law. At no other time
was this place ever occupied by the Ex-
ecutive, whose intercourse with the law
making power of the Government is
fixed to dignifed communication in
writing.
One day, in last April, the strange ru-
NOR run through the Senate Chamber and
extended throughout the Capitol, that the
President had taken possession of his
room, and in few moments a messenger,
with the expression of an immediate exc
cution and a condensed funeral, went
gliding through the desks, giving certain
Senators summons to appear before his
Excelency. 1t was observed that those
who had expressed themselves openly for
or against this measure of annexation
were not disturbed, while those who were
considered doubtful were summoned.
Among these were men who afterwards
took strong ground against the treaty,
and to this violent opposition they we're
actually melted by the humiliation of the
piiiable spectacle presented. There stood
Gen. Grant with the inevitable cigar in
mouth, and a slip of paper in his hand,
repeating as by TotG the reasons why this
treaty should be affirmed, and, when OBJ
jeCtions were offered, meeting them so
awkwardlyIand with such evident distress,
that those using them actually dessted
from shame, and kept their arguments
for the Senate chamber.
From this time Senator Sumner was
taught to feel that all his careful study
and patriotic interest in our foreign affairs,
should go for naught, and the mean blow
given him through his fEiend Motley.
Carl Schurz found that q Republican ad-
ministraJion, so far as he was concerned
in Missouri, meant mean, spiteful perse-
cutious and abuse. And from that time
to this every move of this extraordinary
administration has its solution in the San
Domingo treaty of annexation. OF course
there were low, cunning demagogues at
hand to take advantage of the situation
and squat like tOads at the ear of this po-
! litical Eve. To this event we may trace
the influence of Butler, Chandler, Came
ron & Co. have not the space now to
print the list of offices given out to re-
ward the subServient, and the officers dis,
placed to punish the rebellious. But ]
viii come back with them, that your
readers may be enlightened on all the
points of this strange affair, and taught,
| if taught they can be, what manner OF
man an allwise Providence has made oul
President in punishment of our sins.

Does 1t Pay to Advertise +?

If you have any doubts about it, the only
way TO find ont is to give it fair trial, and as
certain whether it does or not.
From every section of the country come tes-
timOnials Of the advantages derived from
well regulated system of advertising. A Surer
or safer investment for business men cannot
well be imagined. 1t puts them before the
public in a beneficial light; "they become
known and read of all men," and reap an
abundant harvest from the seed thus sown.
There can be no doubt OF the fact; patrons de-
clare it; newspapers assert il, and experience
concluSively proves il. Here are few cases
gathered from various sources illustrating this
point:

Must bear in meekness, as he msekly bore,

These thoTny paths has trod;
Think how He longed to go,
Yet tarried out, for thee, the appointed woe;
Think of His WEAKNESS in places dim,
Where no man comforted or cared for Him;
Think Of the blood and sweat,
With which His brow was wet;
Yet how he prayed, unaided and alone,
In that great agony, "rhy will be dOne!"
