The Commission arrived from Sama-

The want Of coaling facilities detained
the ships six days. At Samana the
Commission found the inhabitants of
the peninsula very generally in favor
of annexation. A full investigation
made into the ownership that no
United States official is involved I'm any
private transaction there whatever.

There is no valuable mineral in that

this morning, and was formally receiy-
ed by Baez. Mr.. Wade explained the
character and object to Baez, and the
Cabinet gave a cordial welcome. Presi-
dent Baez said that peace and stable
government would follow their union

AMONG all the comments upon the
Lincoln statue in the Capitol the fol-
lowing from the Butler County Demo-
cnat Is the most purely Democratic:
fstIn our issue of two weeks ago we
published an article-an editorial-on
the supreme foolishness of placing a
memorial monument of the smutty-
mouthed, constitution breaking, coun-
try killing A. Lincoln, who was boldly
and bravely killed in the holy sanctu-
ary' of fourth-rate God and morality
play house, in the presence of his fellow
villains, conspirators, traitors, "dress-
cireie' strumpets, pimps, niggers and
thieves, in which we stated that Wilkes
Booth, the American Brutus, who gave
Abraham through ticket to the Brim-
stone Dominions, where all tyrants
finally anchor, had as much right to a
niche in our State Capital as the afore-
said late lamented saint of mongrelism

Horace Greeley has a new lecture.

to contain some very severe things
against the sO-called funny writers OF
the "Mark Twain" school. He declared
that he could find no wit either in this
writer, Josh Billings or Petroleum V.
Nasby. We think II. exceedingly prob
able. Horace is. not the man to be
successful in such a search. The soul
feels and knows what it carries with ii
the capacity of feeling and knowing.

was ever guilty of, was his notes of

The UniontOwn e Flushing Turn
VI mr. pike.

fl Hfffl PAAcs
There is a prevalent sentiment in
favor of abandoning the above project.
The taxpayers along the road, many
Of whom were opposed to the building
of it in the grst place, with scarcely an
exception now, join in a request to the
Commissioners to stop all further work
upon it, pay off expenses already in
cured and if it is in their power, squash
the whole business. 1t is very evident
from the cost of other such improve
ments in the County that this turnpike
will cost double the first estimate or
about S,0O0 per mile, and continued
cost of repairs. Much of this tax will
be unwillingly paid from the beginning
and will ever be continual thorn in
the side. The farmers of the country
through which it passes not only want.
but need some other and better means
of communication with the world out
side. A railroad will, in the end, cost
{ hut little more than apike, and while
! that would make satisfactory thor
oughfare, pike will never be of any
but local convenience. We trust this

sideration at the hands Of our Commis-

have fallen an early prey to the dread

field, all covered with glory, others
have sought homes and associated in

soon take the L. L. D., and will discuss
the "all important question" from the

the old school house. Another has
been admitted to the Bar ,and pleads the

that he defended the ''dog or the gun. I"
