.SANTO DOMINGO.

Mr.. Summers long expected speech against
the acquisition of Santo Domingo was made to
the Senate yesterday, and is herewith printed.
OF course it is able, elaborate, rhetorical, and
intense-in other words, it is characteristic of
its author. We judge that be has erred
in making it before instead Of after the ar
rival and report of the Commissioners return
ing from careful inquiry into the facts of
the case in almost every municipality of
the Dominican Republic Mr. Sumner is
capable, well-iDformed, and honest; but
ne has no superiority in these respects
over Messrs. Wade, White and Howe, whose
selection as Commissioners was very happy in
case the President desired the exact unbiased
truth ascertained and reported by men whom
the American People know and trust, and very
maladroit if lie really sought mere echo to
his own pTepOssessions. The country wiz
surely accord great weight to their Report in
case it shall be decisive and substantially
unanimous; and, If Mr.. Sumner supposed he
could gain any advantage by forcstding them,
he miscalculated.
We are sure that the country viii accord
paramount weight to the Commissioners find
ing as to the facts. If they report that the
Debt of the Dominican republic is under
$2,0OO,OOO its undeveloped natural resources

In the great Autumnal gale of 1850, the Congre
gatiOnal Church in Maiden, Mass, was demolished.
Nothing daunted the members have put up new
building of the wooden Gothic variety at The cost Of
half hundred thousand dollars This, so far as It
goes is creditable the builders; but whateydence
or assurance have that this structure too will not
succumb to the next advent of the eqdinoctlal
breezas. While stone is plentiful, pray why Will nos
builders be persuaded TO erect stone churches or

The bill to be introduced in the German
Parliament for the incorporation of the newly
recOnquered provinces of Alsace and Lorraine
says nothing of the cessiOn of any part of
them to Bavaria. This need excite no wonder.
Since the war began Bavaria has become a
State of the German Empire, and no longer
entitled to separate consideration as she would
have been as simply an ally of Prussia. The
new provinces will form new State, and one
quite as important as some others of the
Empire

L.ic has been badly beaten in field of its
own choosing; before an umpire of its own
selection. It's cause must be rotten indeed
when Judge Barnard refuses to sustain it in
his Court, and il is worthy of record that that
learned Justice yesterday threw Fisk and
Gould out of his Court as not having legal
leg TO stand upon in the suit to recover the
$1,OOO,OOO paid to Commodore Vanderbilt to
compromise the several suits of 1868, under
which injunctions were laid upon their railroad
Of course Mr. Field took exceptions, and will
doubtless carry the case to higher Court,
unless the clients prove more sagacious than
their counsel, and desst; but if the Erie
interest cannot win in Judge Barnard's Court,
where can it hope for successf Though all
powerful still in the Legislature, it looks omi-

The dispatches which we published yes
terday morning appear to have over stated
the prospect of peace and order in Paris. 1t
does not seem from the latest advices that the
Insurrectionary Committee has resigned its
functions; on the contrary, it appears TO be
vigorously exercising its full powers of pro-
scription against the people who dissent from
it, 1t has apparently been strong enough
in the city to carry the greater number Of
voting districts in very light poll,
the electors being evidently thoroughly
cowed by the defiant attitude of
the insurrection. The fatal infection of COM
munism seems to be gaining the provinces at
last, and the telegraph announces the success
of the counter-revolutiOn in several places
without blOOdshed. The optimist view so far
taken by Mr.. Thiers has little foundation III
ascertained facts. A lamentable lack of CO.
hesiOn, and, what is worse, an utter ignorance
of the necessity forA.s.,I,asn suo chief maladies
of the public mind.

The House amused itself yesterday in re-
ceiying countless bills on all sorts of subjects,
nine-tenths of which viii deseryedly die in
the haste Of adjournment after the disposal
of the Ku-Klux legislation The bill which
the Special Committee has completed, and
which we publish in full, will be submitted
in the House to-day, and an earnest and ex-
citing, but we trust brief, debate will unques-
tonably follow. The nature of the bill has been
before indicated in our Washington dispatches
1t fairly represents the various opinions pre-
vailing in the House. and is Just coIapro-

Later advices from Mississippi represent the
anarchy prevailing there as extending over all
the State. Fifteen scbOOl-houses were burned
in ten days in the eastern part of the State,
and superintendents and teachers have been
compelled to fly for their lives. Next to a
Republican voter, schOOl-hOuse seems to he
the chief object of hate of the Ku-Klux, a
popularity which has always distinguished the
Democratic party in the South. The purpose
of breaking up the school system, which was
never made common throughout the whole
State until the Republicans came
into power there is freely avowed by the
leaders of the new rebellion. In addition to
the information which we publish of addi-
tional outrages in that State, we have in
formation by mail which leads us to conclude,
what indeed we have already suspected and
expressed, that Gov. Alcorn has little wish
(or design to suppress the Ku-Klux in Mis-
sissippi, but is largely responsible for the de-
mOralzation of the party which elected him
as an exponent of Republican principles.

moral effect on the nation, and will furnish
the Executive with authority under which the
protection OF the loyal people can be secured.
There is no business of equal importance before
Congress-in fact al other questions are for the
time being comparatively insignificant. The
majority in the House. we are convinced, arc
not in the humor for longer delay on this
point. and inaction on the bill viii be rightly
attributable to the Democrats, who, 0cllnowl-
odging that outrages exist, and asserting that
they are committed by negroes as well as
Democrats, yet place themselves in the false
and absurd position of preventing legislation
for the restoration of order
New-York tribune., 1871-03-28

The accumulating record Of facts respecting the
Ku-Klux outrages in the Southern States is already
putting the Democratic press of the North TO its
wits ends to support its original position OF total
denial of the existence of the Kuhlux organization.
It is instructive though too serious to be amusing
to note the second position TO which they must be
forced; the position which the Democratic press Of
the South is already assuming. Ku-Klux raids ac
eOrdiug to The aberdeen Weekly Examiner. constitute
q great moral agency for the benefit of humanity.
Notwithstanding says that sheet +" the commits
sion of some deeds that cannot be generally COM
mended, we believe that they bave done much to
improve the morals aud condition 2f the
county. We are forced to confess our belief that
the good people of the county, OF bot races all
the better OFF for the frequent rides Of these myste
rious troopers" The effect of the pressure Of facts
is perhaps most distinctly traceable in the following:
"a few weeks ago we were inclined 10 doubt the
existence of any such body as the 'Ku-Klux butnow
the evidence is strong and convincing; and as the
troopers exist in the country. and are unknown 10
any man outside of their KaB,' and ,cH make their
midnight rides in spite Of all opposition it is much
wiser plan TO so demean ourselves not TO give
casOn for their visits than to TO resist attack
that will probably never be made" 10 may be
well to remember when Northern Democratic Jour
mails in their turn announce the Ku-Klux as great,
benefcent moral agency that they came to similar
conclusion just before the war, respecting Slavery

Mr.. J. Stuart Mill, in his recent letter to the
Liberal Club of this City, admitting that the
Wages Of Labor were higher in this country
than in Great Britain asserted that the cause
of this disparity was our relative abundance OF
cheap, fertile land awaiting and inviting set
tlement Mr.. Greeley, in reviewing that
letter, called attention to the fact that the
Dominion of Canada Gncluding nearly all of
arabic British North Ameriea) had still greater
abundance of such land, yet Wages were far
lower, from Cape Breton to Manitoba. in the
Canadas than in the Union. Mr.. Greeley asked
the Free Traders who should follow him to
meet this statement as their journalists
had failed to do. Mr.. Charles Moran,
following in reply, having closed his re-
marks without alluding to this point, the audi
ence called out, "How about Canada f"-when
Mr.. NJ. made some remarks, attributing the I'M
doubted superiority of wages south of the

John Stiles, who had devoted much attention to
Canadian affairs, for evidence to confute Nr.
Greeley's view; and Mr.. Stiles duly responded.
We print both letters herewith, and call at
tention to their import and bearing. Mr. Stiles
is unknown to Mr.. Greeley; he is called by the
other side as their witness; and his testimony
is candidly, lucidly temperately given. We
ask that it be widely read and pondered.

The Erenin1 Post declares that it will sup
port Democratic candidates who are Free
Traders against Republicans who are Protec-
tionists. And-since it is perfectly aware that
the Republicans are mainly Protectionsts and
the Democrats generally Free-Traders-it
means that its best services are henceforth to
be given to the restoration of the Democratic
party to power. Yet it will continue to be
quoted by Democrats as Republican, and to
talk occasionally SO as to cOuntenance that de-
lusion, when it hates the Republicans most
venomously and never fails to say or do what
ever will conduce to their overthrow
The Post asserts that no Republican has
right to favor Protection! Yet it has known
all along that the mass of the Republicans
have been and are Protectionists, and that all
the Tariff Legislation of Congress since the
Republicans came into power has been based
on the principle of Protection.

now when it supported Cen. Jackson for Pres
