GRANT AND 81. DOMINGO.
A gentleman said 90 be well Informed,
writing from st. Domingo to the Boston
Post in relation TO the annexation ques-
ton, says:
f'No voting by ballot has taken place.
but the so-caIled will. of the people was
obtained by summoning all citizens, old
and young, TO appear before the. Cover
nor and sigA paper which represents
their wish For the incorporation of the is
land with the United States, as a territory.
The Commandment Arms ordersal the sol
diers IN his command to sign; the Commo-
dore of the Port brings up the naval
officers and seamen to swell the lit; and
the municipal authorities do the same
with all under their control. It is stated
that Admiral Poore and the new Consul
have been grossly deceived in the whole
matter; that two-thirds of the people are
opposed to annexation, being deferred
from expressing their opinions only by
fear of punishment, and that as soon as
the transfer takes place our Government
will have to send troops to suppress re-
bellion."
There is reason to believe that this is a
true statement of the condition of affairs
in st. Domingo. Baez and his party are
directly interested in bringing this matter
of annexation to speedy solution. They
have money in the venture. A large pro-
portion of what is called the public debt
of San Domingo, has been bought up at
thirty cents on the dollar, by his faction.
If paid in full they viii make a nice pro-
fit, and hence bogus elections are
reported, and other means re-
sorted to with view of influencing
the Senate. Can it be possible that
Grant is Interested in these specuIa-
tions9 His connection with this Job il
strange, and requires explanation. In
lobbying SO actively as he has done in be-
half of the annexation of San Domingo,
he has acted in singular contrast with his
habitual reserve regarding matters before
Congress. For so marked departure
from the policy which he had previously
pursued there must be a strong underlying
reason. That reason the country believes
to be of q character calculated to degrade
the high office which Gen. Grant now
fills. The people elected Gen. Grant t.
take care of their interests, to be the Pre-
sident of the masses; not the mouth-piecC
of set of spectators, who viii get VI
gold 'Rings," or purchase foreign terri
tory as it may best suit their mercenary
and corrupt purposes. He should run hi
administration on that track. When h
does not, the people viii put their owl
construction upon the causes which lea(
him in different direction.

A large public meeting has been held
in Chicago, under the call of the leading
business men, to consider the subject of
taxation. They ask for reduction of
fifty million dollars, for the repeal of the
income tax, and for general reorganiza-
tan of the tariff. This is good SO far as.
it goes, but instead of reducing the taxes
fifty million dollars, they ought to be re-
duced twice that amount at least.

THOSE


The McMinnville NetU Era publishes q
card from Rev. N. d. Skurlock, pastor of
the colored Baptist Church at McMinn-
vile, and Churchwell Randals, an indu-
ential and prominent man among his peo-
pie, who were the delegates from War
rem county to the late colored State con-
vention in this city, in which they repudi-
ate the statements set forth in the me-
mortal sent up by the convention to Con-
gress. Skurlock informed the editor of
the NeaO Era that he distinctly stated in
the convention that there was no trouble
between the two races in his section of
country, and that he could not lend his
name to such instrument, and yet the
memorial went to Washington with his
endorsement. Who committed this virtu-
al forgery? The following is the card:
MRMINNvILLE, April 4, I870.-AIr. D.
F. WALLACE: The undersigned are under
the necessity of asking you to insert in
your paper the following statement, which
in justice to themselves they are bound to
make:
They were delegates from Warren
county to the late Colored Convention
held at Nashville; the object, as they un-
derstood, was to encourage immigration
to the South to settle up the vacant lands,
and some other things of minor impor-
lance, all of which had no political bear
ing.
They were in the Convention and op-
posed the passage of the resolution in re-
gard TO the outrages perpetrated on men
of their color and the petition or memo
rial sent up to Congress. They now say
they did not then, nor do they now see
any necessity or demand for congressional
interference with Tennessee, and they
take this occasion to say they have never
known the county in which they now live
more quiet and the laws better enforced
than now. They know of no cOlored
men being murdered or molested in the
county, and feel safe and free as the air
they breathe. CHUCHwELL RANDALs.

NEWSPAPER STATEMENTS.
How the People Test Their Truth.


This is not an age when people believe on trust
whatever they see in the public Journals. Fifty or
sixty years ago when the accuracy of statement
that had appeared in one of the gazettes or "News
Letters" of the day, was questioned, it was con-
sidered sufficient answer to all cavn to say, sit
must be so, for read it in the newspaper" 1t is
not so now. Newspaper assertions must be veri-
fed before they are taken for granted, and this
is especially the case as regards statements setting
forth the remedial properties of proprietary medi-
cines For example it was not until the tonic and
Alternative properties of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers had been deliberately and thoroughly tested
by thousands, and found TO be in perfect accord
with the printed Claims put forth in its behalf that
it was accepted by the public at large as Standard
Remedy. But when multitudes who had resorted
to it as safeguard against malarious fevers, cure
for indigestion and biliousness, means of
strengthening the frame, cheering the spirits and
imparting constitutional vigor, came forward and
testiied that its beneficial effects had exceeded
their most sanguine expectations, Of course the
world believed To resist such proofs was impos-
sible. Great care has been taken from the begin
ming not to OUerstdte the merits of the Bitters.
Exaggeration and bombast have been the death of
many preparations that might otherwise have sur
vived. They were weighed in the balance and
found wanting" Hostetters Bitters, ON the con-
trary, have never been announced in grandilo-
quent language as cure for every bodily i'll, but
simply as pure, harmless vegetable specific, pos
sessing remarkable invigorating, regulating, anti
bilious and antiseptic properties. This is exactly
what the public know the medicine to be, and its
enormous sales is an argument in its favor.

These figures indicate an increase In
the cotton in SIGHT of 253, 094 bales COM
pared with the same date in 1869.
There has been a marked decline in the
cotton market of Liverpool since the first
of the present year, and the cotton au-
thorities attribute the fact to the opening
of the suez Canal. The New Orleans
Picoyu,ae shows that the decline has
been from 24sc. per pound in December,
to 214c, in March, on middling New Or
leans, and from 214c, to Ice, on ordinary
New Orleans. The India cotton, before
the opening of the canal, was accustom-
ed to arrive at Liverpool by way of the
Cape of Coed Hope, and did not reach
the market till the fall But the same
cotton is beginning to arrive at Liver
pool by way of the canal, now several
months in advance of its usual
time, and it is to this fact that the decline
in prices is ascribed. Those who have
examined this subject thoroughly, declare
that India can only enter the market
against the United States with reference
to inferior qualities of cotton. The In
dia staple is short and badly prepared,
and, therefore, will not affect the higher
grades of our cotton. This is well un-
derstood by intelligent cotton growers in
the South, and they are taking measures
| to maintain their aScendancy by improV-
ing the character of their crops. They
have already, by careful and protracted
experiments, developed one or two quail
tiles that possess the properties OF longer
staple and fine fibre than the good mid
ding variety of ten years ago, and these
qualities are rapidly becoming universal
in all the Southern States. They will
| soon be forced into the Liverpool market
as an offset to India cotton, and thus
American supremacy be held with firm
| grasp.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Sun Republican, expresses
the fear that Gas party the Republicans
are drifting to disunion and defeat" He
tells us that "there is no cordially be-
tween the Congress and the President, :"
and that ''Grant has been surrounded
from the first by weak, inexperienced and
incompetent men," He adds:
'.In all our new Territories policy has
been pursued which can only end in Sc
curing their admission into the Union as
Democratic States. Appointments and
removals are made without consulting
the Governors, and there are but one or
two Territories in which the Federal Off
Gals are not at open war with each other,

The Supreme Court of the United
States recently held a title to lands seized
and sold under the confscation OF July,
1862, could pass only for the lifetime of
the person who owned the land and,
therefore, his heir must now come into
possession. This decision IS of great i'm
portance in all border States as well as in
the District of Columbia, and shows that
these confscated titles are merely good
for the lifetime of the person for whose
offense they were confscated, if, indeed,
theyw hold good for that length of
time
