Some person, whose imagination is superior
to the realities of ordinary life, has informed the
Reese Rira RtedW that though TnE SrN has a
circulation OF 10000 and upward, "yet its sale
does not pay the cost Of paper composition, and
printing" Besides, its editorial expenses are
very great, "fOr the salaries II the editorial
staff alone exceed $500 per week" The only
thing that ii accurate IN these statements is that
the circulation Of TnE Sun is 90, 600 and upward ;
all the res, is wrong, The fact is that the sale of
THE Sun pays good deal more than the cost of
paper composition, and printing; and that the
writer Of the Reese Rietr Repei2N does not come
within a thousand dollars a week Of our editorial
expenses. Any way, the business is satisfactory
to us, as it appears to be to our half million Of
daily readers; and if there are any shareholders
in the SuN Association AT Reese River who would
like TO sell their stock at Il small discount, will
the RegtHlt kindly let us know

Great Britain shares with the United
States in the Cuban tradc and il any country
will be the loser by Cuban independence, it will
be England, especially if the latter event should
be followed up by reciprocity treaty between
Cuba and the United States, giving to our manu-
features a decided advantage over those Of Eu-
rope in the Cuban markets. Our commerce with
Cuba would probably be soon doubled, if not
trebled, and Great Britain would be nowhere.
Hence Mr.. LAYARn, though for Exeter Halls
sake he urges the abolition Of slavery, secretly
upholds PRy at Madrid. This he does with the
same energy with which Spain is supported in
Washington by Messrs RoBFnr' aud FsH, and
in more underhand manner by other anti
American dgntarics.

The President in the Lobby.

President GRANT came down TO the Senate
yesterday, and spent several hours there lob
bying Senators in behalf of tho Dominican
annexation treaty.
This is the first time in the history Of this
country that the President has gone to the
Capitol TO employ personal solicitation as a
means Of obtaining the votes Of members Of
either House for measure in which he might
happen to be interested. 1t is certainly not
a dignifed proceeding but as II is not for.
hidden by the Constitution, IL is not necessary
to object to il. But it is to be desired that
the President should resort to this kind of
influence only in meritorious cases. Such
this Dotpinican treaty is not. II is n
job, and -is fall of iniquity. Fraud
is stamped upon all its features. 1t liz de.
signed to cheat the people of the United
States out of both honor and money and its
pecuniary dishonesty is something enormous.
The nature of the swindle has been 30 well
and 80 widely exposed, that IL is hard to un
derstand how Gen. GRANT should now iden.
tify himself with such transaction.
If there was nothing in this scheme of an
nexation that was intended 10 dcfraud the
United States, the treaty ought still to be
rejected. There is civil war In St
Domingo. To annex that republic at
present is to take this civil war upon our.
selves. Spain--a much greater power 'han
the United States in the estimation of Gen.
GRANT-tried it, and had to give up the un.
dertaking. What supreme folly for this
country 20 90 abroad TO ny civil wnrl

There is no doubt respecting the truth of
the despatch from Georgia, sent by Mr., WV. L.
AyrRY to Senator PATTEa.oS, and read in tie
senate on Tuesday last. Entire reliance may
also be placed upon the despatch of Mr.. WM
CovANT, NicePresident Of the Brunswick and
Albany Railroad, in relation TO the hostility Of
the rebel element Of that section Of Georgia TO
that enterprise. 1t is quite obvious why gentle
men in Savannah, in their communication to the
Hon. J,ME' BRooKs, say everything is genial
there, for all acquainted with the facts know that
Savannah is bitterly hostile to the Brunswick and
Albany enterprise, inasmuch as its success will
aid materially in building up the city Of Bruins
wick. The managers Of the Georgia Central
Railroad are also endcavoring TO crush out the
Brunswick and Albany road, as they regard it as
a rival enterprise. Other railroads under rebel
management are equally hostile. At the COM
mencement Of the rebellion the Brunswick road
was destroyed by the rebels and the iron stolen
by them, and they now have it in use. Suits are
pending by the Trustees of the Albany and
brunswick Railroad TO recover the value Of this
iron. II is rather curious that this enterprise
should be so much an object Of political maIig-
nifty.
