sey.
supervisor butcher, of New York, re-
ports to Commissioner Delano that the in.
come tax for the year from the twelfth dis
trict, comprising Brooklyn and New York,
will amount to S6,71s, $50. A. IT. Stewart
does not rettirn 100000 income. while
Clafiin, Mellen & Co. and many other large

MIR. butcher says this year has been a ter
rible one upon the merchant princes as well

General Sherman returned to-day from

Congress adjourns. .., -.
Mrs. Sherman, with several of her chill
dren, will spend the summer at Oakland.
The testimony in the Hatch-San Domingo
Babcock investigation, reported last Satur-
day to the Senate, is provoking great deal
of remark and severe criticism upon Gene,
raj Grant for permitting Babcock to pledge
the President to lobby with the senator's for
the ratification of the treaty before it should
be officially presented to the Senate. The
language of the agreement signed by Gene:
raj Babcock as special agent Of the Presi-
dent is as follows; c .,...., -
dent of the United States, promises pri.
vately to use all his influence in order that
the idea of annexing the Dominican Repub-
lie to the United States may acquire such q
degree of popularity among members OF
Congress as wi i'll be necessary for its accom-
plish1nent, aid he offers to make no COM
munication to that body on the subject
until he shall be certain that it will be ap-
proved by c tttajority."
This protocol has been long in the State
Department, and it is of such character
as must have arrested the attention: OF
General Grant if it had Been read TO him,
It Is alleged by some that the President
could not have been familiar with the pro.
above quoted in which he undertakes to
lobby the treaty through Congress-
Others insist that he was well ad.
vised of it's contents and purposes, and
that his visits to the capitol, and con-
ferences there with the Senate, besides the
interviews he invited ON the subject at the
White House, were in pursuance of the
agreement to do the lobby business. The
mild form of criticism is to the effect that
General Grant, in this connection, has de-
graded the Office of Chief Magistrate of the
United States. Upon the other hand, his
friends say they see nothing improper in
what he did or promised to do: j..
WALLACE.

THE FIRST DISTRICT.

The Bristol A'ecs comes to Us with q
number of short letters bearing upon the
Congressional canvass i'm the First District,
or What the people say about the Greene
willie Convention It is full of choice eN-
tracts, and appeals to Fowler for Heavens
sake TO have johnson nominated, no mat
ter what he may have said, and if he de
cfncs to run him anyhow. A " Rebel -
thinks "the effort of minority to force
Mr. White on the Convention is outrage
Gus, and should be put down. Another
correspondent, referring to our young
friend of the Morristown Gu-ettc, thinks
I" the efforts of minority, led by a beard
less boy, to force upon the people OF the
District a man who is not the choice of a
Convention or of his party, is an outrage
that should not be tolerated. and says if
White is nominated he will be defeated.
Another correspondent, " Lost Cause,
speaks of White thrusting himself upon
the party Confederate" charges Specll,
of the Gazette, with favoring White, to
catch Whites friends for his brother, who
is candidate for the Legislature. The
letters have different signatures, and pur-
port to have been written from different
points, but have striking resemblance to
each other and we shouldn't wonrer if
they are a part and parcel of my policy

REPUBLICAN TRIUMPHs.

AS goes Maine 50 goes the Union" has
long been an adage in American politics.
Our dispatches this morning indicate that
in the election in Maine, on Monday, the
Republicans made clean victory, show
ing large gains. Vermont also gave Re
publican gain Il few days before, so that
we have satisfactory assurances from the
two Eastern States that Democracy is not
yet acceptable to the people. Our neigh
Dor of the Wig may assure its readers
again that the Republican party is - disn-
tegTaing," and certain to sustain II Water
loo defeat this fall, before they will believe
it. The Republican party is disintegrating
now just as it has been for the past ten
years, but, unfortunately for the Dcmocra-
cy, that disorganizaton exists only in the
imapinations OF few weak-knecd iour-
mails Election returns show that the par
~ is again marching on to victory. If the
Democracy could once forget its dead and
unpopular issues, and go before the people
with platform of principles dealing in
telligibly and literally with the lice issues
of the day, it might meet with some sue
cess. But so long a. it proclaims itself
disorganizing party, it will have its
strength only in such natural strongholds
rs Nasby's Cross Roads in Kentucky and
Middle and West Tennessee.

A CORRESPONDENT, writing from this
place to the Memphis AUdIdnche, speaking
of Col. Blizzard says he was not "bitter"
Union man through the war. We suppose
by this that he was in favor of maintaining
the Union if it could be done peaceably
and without insulting rebels. He was in
favor of Cancellation rather than coercion.
There were just such Union men-good
easy sort of fellows, whose hearts were
right, but who didn't have the moral cour-
age to stand up for principle, if it cost any
thing to do so. If all Union men had be-
longed to this class, the rebellion would
certainly have proved Il success.

to so important an action, This is Il mere
suggestion, with the hope that the people
would look after the best interests of the
State in the election of her Senators.
In conclusion, he made an appeal to his
audience, that they should act with pru-
dence and at the same time decision, and,
if the people throughout the State would
so act, that the reconstructing hand of the
Federal Government might be kept off the
State and the people saved from military
rule and oppression.

COL. coLYAR FOR GOVERNOR.

Col. A. :. Colyar announces himself a.
an independent candidate for Governor,
and in published card gives some very
good reasons for his candldature. He
says:
Two years ago, the first resolution offered
and adopted by the Democratic party, in the
State Convention, was as follows:
=" Pcsoired. That. rs in the course of events,
the question whether n State of the American
Union could under tn compact, secede, was
submitted TO contest Of arms and decided in
the negative, and rs it is wise that theories in
Government should be abandoned when found
inpracticable, therefore the American people,
North and South, should accept such decision as
final and conclusive
The first resolution adopted by the Demo
cratic Convention of the 18th inst. Is as follows
RCSoirc5, That the Southern States should
be Immediately restored to their right under
the Constitution OF the United State, as sore
reign States of the American Union.
This resolution, l understand. was agreed
upon in the caucus the night before the Couycu-
ton, after the Brown resolution of i~i- last QUO
ted, had been voted down
He charges furthermore hat in the Con-
veution OF 1865, the first resolution above
quoted was opposed by some gentlemen of
the Convention because they did not want
their children or their party c0H1naittcd to
the declaration that tie question Of secrs-
He charges furthermore that two OF the
gentlemen above referred 70 Were on tEe
Committee on Resolutions in Tuesdays
Convention, in Nashville, which reported
the last resolution above given. The con-
clusion Is warranted, therefore, that the
! two gentlemen who opposed the resolution
! IF 1858 secured the adoption of the resolu-
/ ton Of Tuesday, so that the question Of tEf
| riyht gf secession might DC rcsulTcctod.
Sorcrci9H States, as used in the resolution
last quoted, says Mr.. Colyar, was the sense
in which it was Away, used before the wal
! 10y the States Rights men to assert the
! rights of secession. 1t is because the Con
/ vention which nominated Brown for Gov
1 crnor opened up anew this question, which
/ even Tennessee Democracy in 1865 was
willing to admit had been settled 10y tho
war, that Col. Colyar, a. "a Democrat re
cognizing the results as final, feels com
PEELED to run. We think his point wei
taken. "Ihcmilitary Reunion Of which
our corre-p ondcut wrote, had some purDo-,
in view, and it is now very apparent.
only proves what we charged a few dav
ago TO be true. The Democratic party is ,
