The New York Tribune has manly
protest against the administration of test
oaths to youths about entering the Naval
Academy at Annapolis or the Military
Academy at West Point. In its issue of
June 20 that paper says: $500
sfWe sincerely trust the young Virgin
ian who is debarred from admission to the
Naval Academy because he declines to
swear that he had no sympathy in the
Rebellion in which his family heartily
enlisted, Will not be any longer proscrib-
ed. The test oath which boys are called
upon to take before admission to the Ma
tional Schools is disgrace to our statute
books. The more oath-taking the more
lying there viii be, and the more we pro-
scribe children for the rebellion of their
parents the more that rebellion viii be
respected. The administration of the test
cath to boy who was only twelve years
old when the war closed, and who is still
minor, is an absurdity which ought to
secure the repeal of the statute"
Even boy of twelve years is punished
for the rebellion" of his father, while
men are put into the cabinet, into Con-
gress, and in places of emolument and
honor, who fought all through the. war on
the side of the rebellion" This is the
Justice, the magnanimity of ''the best

GRANTAND SANDoMNGO.

In the official correspondence relating
to the San Domingo treaty, laid before
the United States Senate on Saturday by
the committee of investigation into the
Hatch imprisonment case, there appears
procotol agreed on in September last,
wherein President Grant pledges his pri-
vate promise to use all his influence to
get a majority of Congressman in support
Of the job of annexation before he COM
municates the same to them officially.
This lobby scheme was actually agreed TO
in writing "by Gen. Oryille E. Babcock,
aid-de-camp to His Excellency Gen.
Ulysses S. Grant, President Of the United
States of America, and his special agent
to the Dominican Republic" The first
section of this select protocol is as fol-
lows:
''His ExceIlency Gen. Grant, President
of the United States, promises privately
to use all his influence in order that the
idea of anneXing the Dominican Republic
to the United States may acquire such
degree of popularity among members of
Congress as will be necessary for its ac-
complishment, and he offers to make no
communication to that body on the sub
ject until he shall be certain that it viii be
approved by q majority"
This is most remarkable document.
1t shows the extraordinary extent to
which Gen. Grant lent himself, in his
private capacity as the President of the
United Sthtes, to the schemes of the
San Domingo spectators, and with what
readiness he consented on their behalf to
compromise his official position. And he
has fulfilled his part of the contract by
becoming one of the most persistent lob
byists that is to be found ia Washington,
even to making the support of the bill to
annex San Domingo a personal matter
with Radical Senators. 1t is the first
time in our history that President of the
United States has entered into a formal
engagement with a foreign power to pre-
mote by his private influence the confirm
ton of a treaty, and it is certainly the
only occasion in which President of the
United States has degraded his official
position by undertaking to more than rival
the incessant efforts of the lobby in the
endeavor to induce reluctant Senators to
sanction what is known to be most dis
reputable job. M III

AkERMAN,s APPoINTMENT.

Recent intelligence from Washington
gives more significance to the appointment
of the unknown Mr.. Alderman to a posi-
ton in the cabinet than was at first sur
missed. As Mr.. Akerman was an ex-
Confederate, and had never given any
thing to the President, the political guild
nt0acs at the capital were at loss to as
sign q reason for this strange freak of
Executive power. 1t is now suggested
that Gen. Grant, under the advice of some
of the shrewdest of the Republican lead
ers of the North, in connection with some
of the wariest politicians in the South,
has determined to attempt to re-organize
the Republican party in such a manner as
to draw into it large portion of the in
telligent and influential native population
in the South.
AS at present organized Radicalism does
not stand the ghost of chance of sue
cess in the South, except through the dis
Indignation Of the Democratic and Con-
sentative party. Hence, it is proposed to
tone Radicalism down in the South to
Republicanism. Carpet-baggers are to be
notified that they have received their Just
reward for their services in the cause.
One by one their heads will quietly drop
into the basket, and their places will be
occupied by those who have a Southern
odOr about them by birth or long residence,
The entire power and patronage of the
administration will be used for the pur-
pose of proselytism in the Southern
States. The success of this Republi-
canism in Mississippi has had powerful
effect in producing the conviction in the
minds of the Radical potentateS that while
they cannot Radicalize the South they may
Acorn If.
Alderman was one of those ex-COnfed-
crates who took position with Gov. joe
Brown in Georgia in favor of the Radical
plan of reconstructing that State. With
such men as these and Longstreet and Al
corn, the process Of. Decentralization is be-
gun in the South. Better men are being
tempered with. With foreknowledge
of the purpose of the plot by the people
of the South, it will fail. But, 'ErERNAL
VIGILANCE is THE PRICE OF LIBERTY

open new market TO our dealers. 1t
win be cheaper and more natural for the

From here to Russellville is ~ miles.
From Russellville to Louisville IS 142
miles. Yet they buy their goods there,
and are never seen here except on acct
dental business. Now, they could not
well get our goods carried to them if they
should buy here; but open the proposed
route, and all that fine country is thrown
open to the enterprise of our citizens.
If the charity of our people extends 50
far as to consult the wishes of Chicago,
they should do nothing for this road, for
we are informed that some of the leading
men of that city proposes TO take hold of
thi. project, and from point in South
ern Kentucky, run the road direct to
Chattanooga. OF course it will cost
money to do so, but Chicago has done
greater things than this. This road built
to Nashville, that project dies; this road
not built, Chicago and Gallatin may take
hold of it, and if so, farewell TO half the
trade of our city.
We must defer till tomorrow remark
we wish to make about the plan proposed
