Not Tr.1e.

The Davenport Democrat of the
18th says that Hon. VIM. b. Allison
opposed the passage of the Keokuk
Rapids appropriation bill. This is
not true, as but few persons in the
State will need be told. The item,
we suppose, is based upon an i'm
perfect telegraphic synopsis of the
debate sent to the Chicago Tribune,
in which Inadvertently, we presume,
Mr.. Allison's name is coupled with
those of Messrs, Starkweather,
Myers, Conger, &c, who opposed
the passage, instead of with Messrs.
Washburn, Beck, McCrary, Shanks
and others, who supported it. We
noticed the mistake at the time, but
did not suppose that any newspaper
in Iowa would be deceived by it.
We have now before us the Con
gressional Globe, Of the 18th inst,
containing the full debate, and it
shows that Mr.. Allison made an
earnest appeal for the passage Of the
bill, and combatted the arguments
OF Starkweather and Myers, who
sought to delay it it. Mr.. Allison
has never been wanting in hearty
support to this improvement, but
has been largely instrumental in
securing the necessary Legislation
authorizing it and the money to
carry it out.-Du5ugue Times.

A Cool Coal Joke.

We find the following in the Hart
ford Courant:
''The late Professor StiIliman, of
Yale college, received from COM
pany specimen Of coal to examine,
and the professor said he would
make test and determine its quail
ty. The next day the owners Of the
grand discovery waited on him
agai:,, eager to hear the verdict
which was to make or mar their for
tunes. The professor said with i'm
pressive soIemnity:
Gentlemen, | understood you to
say this property is situated upon a
hill top--consequently the situation
is prominent. 1t is valuable-im-
mensely valuable-though as a coal
mine am obliged to observe that it
is failure. Fence it, gentlemen;
fence it in, and hold it through good
and evil fortune till the last day; for
l am convinced it will be the best
point from which to view the sub
lime spectacle Of the final conhagra-
ton. | feel satisfied if any part OF
the earth shall remain uniniured
after that awful fire, it will be this
coal mine of yours"

Mr.. Stewards Health-That Marriage
Story.

Ex-Postmaster General Randall,
who has just returned from Japan,
whittier he accompanied the Hon.
VIM. ii. Seward, says that the ven
cradle statesman is suffering from
complete paralysis of both arms, so
that he is deprived Of the use of
them in performing the most ordi-
nary Offices Of nature. With this
exception, his health seems I'M
impaired. He eats and sleeps well,
has good digestion, and his mental
faculties are as clear, strong, and
active as ever. lie keeps diary
OF passing events and ofhis journey,
which he dictates every day to Miss
Risley, who is travelling with him,
and who, in great measure, takes
the place of a daughter. 1t is, per-
haps, unnecessary to say that the
story OF his intended marriage with
this lady is as groundless as it is
absurd. Mr.. Seward still maintains
his deep interest in the affairs of
his own country, and received the
American newspapers, which he
has read to him with the greatest
care and regularity. He proposes
to extend his trip to India, and on
his way home will visit St. Peters
burg, upon the invitation of the
Gar of Russia.-Erom THE PNiloeleI-

SON Domingo.

Gerritt Smith opposes the annex
alton project on purely philanthropy
ic grounds. He says:
'The object is that to take from
one zone to add to another, and es-
pecially from torrid to add to a
temperate zone, is to war upon ma
ture. The tropic belong to the sa
bic race Of men. Only allow the
laws Of nature free and full play,
..nd there would be black belt
belt Of black humanity-all around
the eart,,; and this belt would sub
stantially coincide with the tropics.
SO, too, around temperate zones the
natural dwelling places of the pale
races of men. do not deny that
blacks are at liberty to seek homes
among the whites, nor thai whites
are at liberty to seek homes anon st
the blacks. But | do deny that the
one should take steps which, wheth-
er so intended or not, should result
in robbing the other of their God
granted allotments-thcir nature
designated homes. There may be
circumstances to justify white
Americans in domiciling themselves
in San Domingo. In doing so they
may benefit both it and themselves.
But to annex the island to our ma
tion-in other words, to annex this
portion of the tropics to 4 temperate
zone--would be robbery great in
itself and leading to a far greater.
| say the island, for see the Prssi-
dent goes for annexing the whole of
it.
1t may be said that the Presidents
plan is one of protection for the
people Of San Domingo, for he
speaks of them as weak and incapa-
bic of maintaing themselves. But
however kindly he may feel toward
the people, it is evident that the OBJ
ject Of his plan is the cnriching and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of his own country.
This plan is the first step toward
our getting possession of all the
West India islands-the first step
on our part toward dispossessing
the blacks of those portions of the
earth which is their right to govern.
We admit that, should the plan 90
into effect, there would, no doubt,
remain for ages, more or less blacks
upon these islands; but they would
have sunk into nothing better than
"hewers of wood and drawers of
waters" for the governing white
race-a race, by the way, that would
not fail to suffer greatly in its own
character from the degradation of
the governed race"
