REJECTION OF THE SAN DOMINGO
TREATY.

The San Domingo Treaty, upon. which
President Grant had set his heart, and prom
ised, what no President ever did before to
use privately" whatever influence he might
possess over Senators to have confirmed, came
to vote on last Thursday, and was rejected
by the Senate. The vote stood twenty eight
to twenty eight two.thirds being necessary
and the Treaty was thus defeated not even
receiving majority of the votes cast. VIM.
H. Seward inaugurated the fashion which has
now become fayorite policy at Washington,
of going down in South America and the
West Indies, or up among the tumbling iee>
bergs of the North Pole, upon real estate
speculation. The fact is, the Executive de-
partment has become Wholesale Land Agency
Office, and the brokers, Spectators and vag-
abondizers find ready market for their
worthless and uninhabitabIe wastes in the
meridian of Executive square. The Prcsi-
dent acknowledged great disappointment upon
learning of the defeat of his pet San Domingo
scheme, but measures are already in progress
for the negotiation Of a new and more accept
nble Treaty. The revelations made before a
Senate committee of the manner in which
this whole business has been managed by the
agents of President Grant. no doubt brought
the Treaty to grief. A big job and rich
pickings were exposed to view, and the cx>
traordinary zeal of the Executive to secure
favorable vote on the Treaty, as we'll as the
indecent and unconstitutional promise of
President Grant to use pirate influences 20
consummate the speculation, have reflected
disgraccfully upon all those engaged in the
negotiation. 1t has the flavor of the "black
Friday" about it; the gigantic gold swindle
of the 9th of September, 1860, in which
Jim FISH. sworc to the Presidents participa-
ton. We are happy to have an opportunity
of offering our congratulations to the Senate
for an honest vote. Go on, gentlemen, with
the good work. The brecch widens and the
imam on horseback" is bucklng on his sword
for another tilt at your high mightinesses.

THE FOURTH OF JULY,

Yesterday was the ninety fourth anniver-
sary of the day upon which that immortal in
strument, the Declaration of Independence,
was promulgated, and American freedom
proclaimed. Up to within few short years
ago, this day was hallowed and revered' all
over our broad land, from the St. Lawrence
to the Rio Grande, and from the Atlantic to
the Pacifce-but now how changed The
people of the South, down-trodden and OPP
pressed, have but little desire to celebrate the
day upon which our fathers proclaimed their
freedom from the thraldom of tyranny, when
they themselves are groaning and writhing in
shackles far more CALLING and oppressive than
ever King George dared think of placing
upon the patriots of rs. But let us look for
ward to more glorious future. The present
ignominious and corrupt government of this
fair land has almost run its length; Radicals
ism is tottering to its fall Already we hear
the battle-cry in the distance, and soon we
hope to see the people of the United States
rise in their might, hurl from power the blood
hounds now gnawing at the vitals of the Re-
public, and restore to our once happy country
its original glory and renown.

GRAND ARMY REUNION.

OF all worthless and unconstitutional or
CARNATIONS that of the Grand Army of the
Republic is the most conspicuous. Presided
over by Sioux chief, one Logan, and com
posed of red-hot Radical adventures. its
continuance is a continual menace to the peace
and harmony Of the Union. Our history
affords suggestive chapter upon such odious
bodies in the fate of the Cincinnati which
sprung up at the close of the revolutionary
warof'76. Many gentlemen Of high military
rank and social responsibility gave their
countenance to this organization, but Thomas
Jefferson opened all his batteries upon it and
secured the cooperation of General Washing
ton to crush it out. 1t languished and died
in the face of such opposition. 1t was pro-
nounced and proved to be dangerous un-Amcr-
lean, anti--cpublican, and to carry an ugly
sting in its tale of aristocratic poison. The
Grand Army of the Republic partakcs of the
most odious features of the Cincinnati without
the brains of the latter or the responsibility
to lift its reasonable rawlings into serious
notice. Its annihilatiou will be accepted as
favorable auspice for the perpetuity OF free
institutions. In the meantime reunion of
the G.. a. r. has just occurred at Washington,
and was attended by many Senators and Rep
resentatiVes.

A REVOLUTION IN CooKERY.-Sincet the
introduction of the patent SEA Moss FARINE,
a complete revolution has taken place in that
department of cookery to which we owe the
luxuries of the dessert. The most delicious
blanc mango, jelley, custard, Charlotte Russo,
light buildings, &c, are produced from this
palitable nutrient, at about one-third of the
former cost. A great economy of time as well
as money IS effected by its use. The prepe-
trations made from itare pronounced by physi-
clans to be the best possible diet for consump.
tives, dyspeptics, and persons suffering from
billiousness and general debility. Gonzales

cular strength as well as in flesh. The Sea
Moss Farine Co., So Park Place, New York,
who are manufacturing this article from the
best Irish Moss, in enormous quantities, pro-
duee an array of medical and general testi
mony in its favor, which is perfectly over
whelming, and must set all doubts of its SUI
periority as an alimentary staple (if any exis.)

WEST VA. VS.. THE B. & o. R. R.

Pursuant to adjournment at Grafton, on the
4th day of June, 1870, a meeting of delegates
from the several counties along the line of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, including the
Parkersburg Branch, to devise means for
concert of action on the part of said counties
to defend the several suits pending against
said counties, to restrain them from collecting
the taxes due from the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company, and for the collection of
said taxes, held at Berkeley Springs, Morgan
county, W. Va, on the 2sd day of June,
1870, j. D. Staley representing this county.
In pursuance of resolution adopted by
the Convention at Grafton on the 4th day of
June, the several delegates furnished state
ment of the amount of taxes, county and
township, due from the Company, in their
respective counties, inclusive Of the'year 1869,

THE OLD THING OVER AGAIN.

The Cincinnati Enquirer, referring to some
remarks in the Herald, says: "Now, the Chi
nese is nothing but new edition of the
African question over again. A century or
so ago it was not thought that the bringing of
negroes by the thousand to this continent as
slaves would make any trouble. The cloud
in the distant horizon was not perceived
But we of this generation have seen the storms
of blood and fire which it has discharged
the misfortune which it has brought upon the
United States. Men may be pardoned for
making an error once, but hardly for its
repetition. The Chinese will prove to be to
the West of the United States what the negro
has been to the South-the greatest injury
and drawback upon its prosperity. Like To-
Gusts, they will ovcrspreAd the fertile and I'M
inhabited plains of the Pacific. They will
occupy room which should be filled by men of
our own race and Lineage. Their presence
will be only to degrade and weaken the coun-
try. Who would not rather see this country
peopled by the European races than by the
African and Monaghan The policy the
country has pursued on this question thus far
is as short-sighted as it formerly was on the
African slave-trade and our descendants,
whom we threateA to leave with millions of
Chinese, will heartily denounce our blindness
and folly. 1t is for us to say whether we will
have New Ohio or New York on the Pacific
shores, or q new China or India"

NOT A RUN BLOSSOM VISIBLE.

The Wheeling MteUigcncer, in its account
of the Parkersburg Pow-Wow, says
"The faces that met the eye were fully
three>fourths of them young men from 81 up
to 80, and not a rum blossom was visible in
the crowd. 1t is worthy CT remark here as to
the Panhandle delegations, that the bar, keeper
on the Major Anderson was disguised with
them. He declared he "woud just as soon
have Methodist Conference on board !''-
The bar-keepers in Parkorsburg will doubt
less be willing to second the declaration as to
the whole Convention. It was q fresh,
healthy, intelligent looking "sea of up-turned
faces" that met the gaze as the large auditory
was called to order"
We suppose a certain oficious delegate
from this Countrywide, while presiding at the
examining trial of murder case, had to ad-
journ court in order to refresh himself at
bar-room-was absent when the above para
graph was penned.

WASHINGTON college and General Lee.

A correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch,
writing from Lexington under date of the
25th ultino, concludes his letter as follows =
Your correspondent did not send you last
spring any account of the action of the Board
in reference to making General Lees position
more comfortable because he did not think is
proper to publish it. AS, however, it got into
the Lynchburg papers in ratheran exaggerated
form and went the rounds of the press, L
have, upon consultation with friends of the
: College, determided to send you the facts
1t is generally known that General Lee has
always refused to receive grdtuities of any
kind-that Just during the war he refused
to receive house from the city of Richmond,
and nobly said to the Council, ''If you have
benefactions to bestow, give them to my
private soldiers, who are more needy and more
deserving than myself" so since the war,
though robbed of his patrimony, he has stead
lastly refused to receive presents that have
been offered him. His conduct in this re-
spect has been very strikingly like that of
Washington.
The Board of Trustees of the College have
found it, therefore, very difficult to make
such provisions for General Lee as they have
felt due alike to him, themselves and the pub
lie. He has declined tie receive such salary
as the Board thought he ought to have, and
they have been puzzled to know what to do.
During his absence they had meeting, at
which they settled upon Mrs. Lee for life the
house in which the General now lives and an
annuity of $4,000.
AT their recent meeting the Board received
letter from General Lee in which Con behalf
of Mrs. Lee) he very respectfully but firmly
declines the prefer.
After full consideration of the matter the
Board have, as delicately as possible, decided
that they must adhere to their original action
that they cannot suffer the risk of any con-
tingency in which the family of our loved and
honored chieftain might suffer. They insist
that this is not 'gratuity," but the payment
of a very small part OF the debt which the
College, the State, and the country at large,
owe to the distinguished patriot who has de-
voted himself so earnestly and so successfully
to the education of the youth of the land.
The Board have also elected private Sec
rotary to the General, with view of relieving
him of the burden of letter>writing and other
work which has been pressing him down
He gets all sorts of letters from all sorts of
people,-many of them evidently written
simply to get his autograph-and it is designed
to put stop to this as far as possible.

THE TRANSIT OF VENUs.-A rare and
important event in the astronomical world is
to take place in December, 1874, the transit
of Venus across the suns disc. The English
astronomers, even at this early day, are max.
ing preparations for the observation of the
transit, as it will take much time to select
remote stations, progide the necessary instru-
ment and organize the various parties. The
object of ali this expensive and troublesome
labor is to ascertain the suns distance from
the earth and the transit of Venus, which
does not occur once in century, furnishes
the best known opportunity of finding. out
that distance. The established superstition
that the sun is 100000 miles away from
the earth has been recalculated to be 100000
too much, and the correctness of the latter
theory will be determined by the transit,-
The best points for the observation of this
event will be in the Marquesas Islands, the
mouth of the Amoor river Bombay, India,
Melbourne, Australia, Turkey and Egypt
