The San Domingo Job Not Dead.

d
People who imagine that tho San
Domingo Job is dead know nothing of
Grant and less than nothing Of the
gang of greedy spcculators by whom
he is surrounded. The Springfield
Republican says;
Mr.. San Domingo Fabens, who has been trying
for some weeks past TO raise money by priSsA
subscriptions to pay the second years rent due
from the United States for the lease Of the Sanans
Bay, aud who failed Of getting much In Boston,
has succeeded In raising the neodful In New York.
lie does this sort OF business, suppose, with tho
sanction Of President Grant, who Is very unwilling
To give up his pet scheme OF annex alton, and 10

The President drew $l50,000in coin
out of the Treasury of the United
States 10 pay the first years ront of
SANTANA Bay. This be did without
any warrant Of law, taking the money
from the Sccretary-Sorvice Fund In
the Department Of State. Grant
expected that by taking the money
thus surreptitiously from the Treas
ury he would be able to commit
the country irretrievably to his job
and TO coerce Congress into aratifca-
ton of his illegal act. Of the money
thus drawn from the Treasury only
ohc-th'rd was paiu over 10 Inc Dohit-
'can authorities, the balance being
pockcted by Grants partners in tho
project, who proved to be doubly
thieves, robbing both the United
states and San Domingo. A oonsid-
eraoie portion OF the money never left

tax payers ofthe United States. And,
now his tools are "shinning il" round
the cities TO raise money enough to
pay another years rent, in order that
the treaty with Beaz may be kept
alive and an opportunity be given to
force the job through somo future
Congress. Docs any one suppose
dollar could be raised for such pur-
pose unless it was understood that the
President was still backing up the
San Domir 90 job? Men arc often
ready to risk their money in desperate
enterprises, but they want some very
promising assur nee that it will be re.
paid to them with large interets.
Grant has done all in his power
since Congress adjourned to secure an
endorsement of his San Domingo Job
from the r publican party. In Ohio
it was his well understood intention
and desire to fore, the nomination of
Ben Wade and the insertion of San
Domingo plank in tho platform. In
Iowa he did actually secure the pas
