GENERAL GRANT confesses that he
telegraphed Rear-Admiral Poor, at Key
West, in January, 1870, Ito proceed with
the Severn and Dictator to Port all
Prince; communicate with our Consul
there, and inform the present Hayten

terminet to project the present Domlnl,

to prevent any attempt % interfere
with it; visit SANTANA Bay and~the
cspital, and see the United States
mower and authority secure there.
Where is the authority, under the Con-
stitution for the President to issue such
an order? What right has he to inter
fere with the internal concerns Of other
nations? But he did use the. fleet
to aid in perfectng the San Domingo
lob, and he is using it for the same
purpose at the present time. Where Is
the authority tor such action on his

Hempfleld Railroad Extension.

A railroad meeting was held in Mer-
ri,tstown, Fayette county, Pa, last
week, in the interest of the Dunl1ps
creek route Tor the extension OF the
Hempfeld railroad to junction with
the ConnellsvilIe road. Hon. ANDREW
STEWART sent q letter, from which the
following is an extract: -
There will be two principal COM
peting routes from Connellsville, con-
Meeting with the Hemptield road at
Washington-one by Cniontown and
thence by Dunlaps creek, the river,
and Ten Mile creek; the other by Lay
ton station, crossing the Youghiogheny
river near that place, and the Monon-
sahela perhaps near Bellevernon. Be-
tween these two routes from Connells-
vile to Washington, in point OF dis
lance there is very little dfierence-not
more than mile or two while the
Dunlap's creek route, following a water
line the whole way, will have the adj
vantage of passing through large towns
-UniontowD, Brownsville, and near
WaynesburgI, and ! think will develop
more agricultural and mineral wealth.
Much success, however, depends on
which route displays the most zeal and
activity, and does the most in the. way
OF obtaining releases of the right Of
way, subscriptions Of stock, etc. The
B. and O. r. r., having obtained CON
troll of the Hempfeld road, completed
from Wheeling to Washington, will, no
doubt, after finishing the road from
Baltimore TO Pittsburgh, carry out
their original design of also connecting
with Wheeling by one Of the roads in
licatnI

Now, the present is the most important
period of the year to prepare the human

The Pennsylvania Railroad Burea"
-Rumor OF the fGreatestl CONSOLE
dalton Scheme Yet.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Bureau
-Rumor OF the tGreatesti Consosi'
dalton scheme Yet.
A dispatch from Steubenville, Ohle,
to the Cincinnati Commercial IN regafa
to the annual meeting Of the Pittsburgh
Cincinnati and st. Louis ra'l"ss'
Gays: po,.r sbs,.
rard Jr, and Thomas Mears are sup
planted bv Scott, OF the Pennsylvania
Central, Mccullough, Of the Fort
Wayne and Chicago railroads, and
Tbaw. of the Union Lire monopoly
II is rumord here that this is'the pre-
luIe to one Of the greatest railroad
outrases of the time, and that neither
of the Jewetts will have any partlci-
pancy in it. Hugh ]. Jewett will not
serve on the new board, and Judge
Jewett, now President, will decline re-
election, in view Of the movement he
will be powerless to prevent.
Under recent Pennsylvania legls!a-
ton, Scott, Mccullough, and five or SIX
others have formed a corporation known,
or to be known, as the Pennsylvania
Railroad Bureau, which is to control
the leased roads of the Pennsylvania
Central west of Pittsburgh, being the
Fort Wayne and Chicago and its leased
roads, and the Pan Handle, with its
leases. The stock of this corporation
is nominally sl2,0O0,O00, $S,0OO,OOO Of
which is to he paid the, Pennsylvania
Central for its interest in these leases,
all of which have from ninety-tive to
ninety eight years to run, and which
are to be turned over to this corpora
ton and its successors.
1t is said the Philadelphia meeting.
where The execution OF this scheme was
determined, was quite stormy, and that
Judge Jewett warmly protested against
an injustice which would forever de-
stroy all hope Of dividends, to the stock
holders of the old SteubenvllIe and
Indiana railroad, and the recent show
ing of earnings warrant the opinion
that fair management with the lncreas
ing business OF the road justified hopes
of stock dividends at no very remote
period. The PennsyIvanians who now
control the road, fully understanding
this, and taking advantage Of the terms
of lease which is fully satisfied 10y the
payment OF the interest on the read
bonds, have apparently determined that
no more through business from Clncln-
natl, Cairo or St Louis shall pass over
this road than will enable the le>sees to
fill the bond, and the balance OF through
traffic is to be thrown over to the Fort
Wayne to swell the surplus which will
remain to the cOrporators after they
pay their annual rental of that road.
1t is further said here to-day that Scott
is to be President Of the great monopoly
and Mccullough General Manager

A MAN named BUTLER, by the grace
OF the Radical party Governor OF Ne
braska, seems determined to establish
his relationship with the member OF
Congress Of that name from Massschu-
sets, and perchance with that other
one from Tennessee. He does it by
embezzling seventeen thousand dollars
from the State Treasury, for which in
discretion he has been arraigned for
impeachment by the Legislature. He
ia also on the alert for other little jobs.

a requisition from the Governor of
Pennsylvania, the officers proceeded to
Nebraska, found their prisoner and
presented the requisition to Governor
BUTLER. He asked for a few
days delay before delivering the

WE have a good word to say TO
REvELs, the dusky Senator from Mis-
sissippi. He has sense enough to see
that the efforts Of SUMNER and Others
to enforce social equality are only In
tensifying the prejudice or antipathy
of the whites against the blacks. An
effort has been made in Washington for
the establishment of mixed schools,
where white children and black were to
be educated together. To this REvELs
is opposed, and made the best speech he
has uttered in Congress against the
measure. He believes that the com
pulsory establishment of mixed schools
and mixed churches. and all legislation
to compel social equality between the
races tends to the injury Of the true In
terests of the colored people, and says
he will leave the Republican party if
these things are persisted in. Heseems
to understand the inevitable result OF
these Radical measures, better than
most Of his white associates.
