1t is an unfortunate thing that he should
be called on to leave so suddenly, at such

departure, a couple of marshals came III

keep from being arrested. The marshais
have received intimation as to the prooa-

it is likely he will soon again be seen in

Tho resolution relative to San DO
mingo, recently adopted by the Senate
Sc TINS commented on by the st. Louis
Times:
Senator Morton's joint resolution au-
thorizing the appointment OF commits
sioners in relation to the Republic of
San Domingo is practically the COM
nlement ex-senator Summers resolution
calling upon the President for informa-
tion. The one makes inquiries-the
other puts it in the Presidents power
to answer them. Grant ought by all
means to be grateful for the jealous in
forest which the senate is so promptly
taking in his scheme of annexation.
There is one objection to the Morton
resolution, however, which rather mil
itates, against the good faith of its in
PRODUCTION. 1t empowers the President
TO appoint the commissioners, and re-
quires that they shall serve without
conversation, from which ill-dispOsed
people may reason that it cOnfers upon
General Grant an undue control OF the
investigation. Not only is the appoint
ment given to an official, supposed to
have a direct personal interest in the
acquisition of Dominica, but upon such
conditions that probably few men could
be found willing to serve as commits
sioners, unless themselves governed by
such an interest as to render the matter
of compensation immaterial.
This involves an advantage for the
President, unquestionably, but an adj
vantage which of course no senator
wants to say that the President would
be guilty of taking to his own detriment
or that of the public service.
Seriously, the appointment of the
commission Suggested is perhaps the
only way to arrive at satisfactory es-
innate of the worth of San Domingo to
the United States, or the desirability of
its accession. The results of such COM
mission, fairly and honestly conducted
should be upon every senator's desk,
and carefully considered before any
intelligent action can be had upon the
question: go at. ,.t,f .,.s.f-titft 4.

Nr,y yoRK. Dec. ia Washington
oorrasnondent telegraphs that there are
strong reasons from an authentic soui.e
for believing that an amicable au)u:'
mont of our difference with England Ill
connection with the Alabama CLAIMS
will not be delayed for much longer
period. 1t is also believed that zen.
Schenck will soon after his arrival III
england resume negotiations now sus,
nended, and that they will be carried
forward in firm and friendly manner,
and that the English Government VIII
meet the question in a frank ana lair
shirt. The temper of the British peo-
Die is thought to be favorable at this
time for the success of the understand
ing. The following are believed 10 De
the points upon which negotiations VIII
be made: 49,
The United States ola basis OF settle
ment will require: First-That England
shall pay the owners for the ships ana
property destroyed by the Alabama,
with interest on the value OF the same
from the date of destruction; second,
that ENGLAND shall reimburse the Uni
ted States government for all expenses
incurred by the United States in con-
sequence of the Alabama and other
cruisers third, that England shall make
public recognition of the true princl-
pies of neutrality on the basis OF their
settlement.
1t is thought that the United States
will not demand constructive damages
in any event. Other sources of lnfOr-
nation from those. alluded to above SUBJ
stantially confirmed this statement of
the subject. Gen. Schenck will make
no extOrtionate demands. He is not to
threaten nonintercourse or the fOrcible
annexation of Canada, nor is he to de-
mand confession, from Great Britain
that she has acted dishOnorable toward
the United States, confession that no
proud nation would make unless con-
quered and reduced to eXtremities.
There is good authority for stating that
Gen. Schenck is expected to demand
nothing more than prompt and equita-
BILE settlement of our actual money
losses, and that there will be no talk OF
damages for injured honor in the dip
lomatic negotiations which he is to open
and conduct. ''F'' 1870
The reparatiOn which he will be in
structed toask, tits believed, will be
willingly accorded by the English Gov
eminent. The erroneous impression
prevailing with regard to Gen. Schenck's
mission places him in a false attitude at
the outset, which it is not pleasant for
him to occupy.

A New York letter says: "The
actor, Mr.. Jefferson, went into a down.
town bank to draw check, yesterday,
payable to his order. Strange as it
may seem, no one of the clerks recog-
nized the actor in the citizen who stood
before them, and, to the demand that
he must be identified, he could make
no satisfactory exhibit. He looked
about the bank, glanced over the
queues of customers, but saw no fa-
miliar face. He turned to the paying
teller, and, in the tones familiar to all
New York, said: If my little dog
Schneider was here, he would know
me- The sentence identified the actor,
and every clerk knew him at once
in fact, had known him all the time.
Jefferson got his money, and the bank
was relieved from the dreadful suspi-
cion of having corps of clerks who do
not attend the theatre"

The Democracy of Connecticut are to

=" Nearly six years after the close of
sectional war, the President announces
in his message to Congress, that three
States of the Union have been admit
ted to representation in our national
councils and he confidently expects
that anOther-One of the old thirteen
will take her place there next year.
With this official announcement of the
dismemberment of a union which Sc
cession had failed to break, comes an
appeal, by leader of the Republican
party in Congress, for the Inauguration
OF war against powerful European
State, to savethe Republican party.
" 1t Is the policy of the Democratic
party to retrench expenditures, reduce
taxes, reform abuses which reach over
thirty thousand Offices, to pay the pub
lie debt, to relieve great interests which
are crippled by unnecessary burdens.
TO restore the Union, sustain the honor
OF the country, and promote the pros.
perlty OF every section; but on no ac.
count to bring calamity upon the peo-
pie for the preservation of any political
party. All who agree with us in these
sentiments, and who are opposed to
disunlon and military supremacy, are
cordially invited to act in our oroani-
cations, and to aid us in restoring union
and harmony, which are essential to
the prosperity of the country"

General Amnesty.

The Washington Chronicle, corrupt
and venal as it is we'll known to be, is
nevertheless. the exponent Of the opin.
ions of the ruling wing of the Republic
can party, as well as of the views of the
President. Its editor is a great toady,
but a first-rate echo of what the ruling
powers think. Hear this organ upon a
general amnesty:
The case stands thus to-day. If the
old rebels are not amnestied, the loyal
men of the South will be persecuted.-
If the old rebels are amnestied, the 10y
al men will be Ostracised. It is choice
between persecution which assumes
mOny shapes and Ostracism which as
sumes many more. The true, straight
course is to tr1,st yo,o' friends. Pardon
to men who ask it only to abuse it is
surely a proffer of immunity to men to
commit outrages with impunity.
Let amnesty to rebels wait till the
Presidential election of 1872 is decided.
The South cannot be in a worse cOndi-
ton in ten years than it is to-day. Our
friends there have reached the last and
latest limit of suffering, and we cannot
help them by enfranchising those who
nave brought them to that limit.
