The speech of Senator Morrill, on the Santo
Domingo question might serve as a model in the
discussion now going on in the Senate. He op-
poses annexation for reasons which appear to him
satisfactory, and has not word to say impug-
ming the motives Of others, or endesvoring to
catch the worthless applause of the gallerie, by
flashes of irony and sarcasm. Such reserve and
moderation it is impossible not to approve, even
in Senate that includes Mr.. Davis among its
members and endured for years the inebriate
drawings Of Saulsbury-.N Y. Tribune.

The provisions against legislative eorrup-
tior in the new constitution Of Illinois, are
in course Of successful trial. They consisted
in charging the number Of members in the
Icri4laturc. from - senators and 50 repre-
-eftatiges to 80 senators and l7j representa-
tive. and in fortidiins special legislation
Tie results are that there is little or nothing
to interest OF employ lobby, certainly not
enough to Justify the expenditure required to

recently married widow, fell asleep the other
day in the court room. and WAS suddenly awak-

The liberal Roman Catholic priest at New

parithioners. They manifested their efteem rather
roughly the other day, retorting upon the edi-
Tor Of the Freeman's Journal for some abuse Of
Father Farrell, with denunciations of his

thus;

The liquor question in various forms re-
lieyes the Massachusetts, Legislature from an
otherwise unyarying dizziness. The investigs-
ton into the habit smone the State constables
Of carrying their hands open behind them,
having shown d considerable capacity for re-
ceying brides and doing nothing, the force has
taken hold Of business afresh, snd stirred up the
liquor dealers by several very heavy seizures st
Boston. The result is great Indignation smong
the dealers and q fresh attempt to repeal or
modify the law. The liquor dealers seem to be
hard set to suit They are unhappy if the
conststles let them alone, and they are dou5ly
unhappy if they fall upon them.

No actual outbreak took place, but the mob
separated with threats of violence on the
morrow. Friday morning the mob, encour-
aged by their immunity the previous day,
and the supineness of the municipal author
tiles of Scranton, proceeded to acts of riot,
and a violent contest between the mob and
the non union men followed, resulting IN
favor of the union, and accompanied by
much destruction of property. All the
works in town were hastily evacuated by
masters and men, and the miners meeting no
opposition, marched through the streets Of
Scranton carrying the American flag.
Meanwhile the Mayor had telegraphed to
Gov Geary for troops. The governor res
ponded in a proclamation condemning equally
the railroad companies and the violence OF
the miners and promising the immediate des-
patch Of troops. The first detachment OF
militia arrived in Scranton Friday night, but
the men proved entirely unreliable. They
were State militia, many Of them miners
themselves, who sympathlzed openly with
the rioters, and refused to protect the non
union men at their work. They were sent
away again, and left the city with cheers for
the Workingmen's Benevolent Association.
Scranton was quiet at last accounts, and in
the words Of the dispatches, "public conf
dence has been restored" But it il evident
that the matter will not rest here. Private
property has been destroyed, the authorities
have been openly defed, men assaulted and
in some cases seriously injured, and no ring
leader Of the mob which thus outraged the
law, had been arrested, nor had any steps
been taken up to Monday night to bring any
Of those concerned in the acts Of violence to
punishment.

The result On Governor, in Connecticut, is
still in doubt, Yet it il nevertheless a repub-
lean victory, and IS conceded As such by the
democratic papers When it is remembered
that Governor English is personally one Of the
most popular men in the State that he ran
considerably above his ticket that in 1865 be
beat Jewell by 1894 votes that he was again
elected in 1870 by s43 msjority ; and that the
democratsssfully expected to re-elect him by 8
largely increased majority, all must own that
a result which can only be decided by the ofi-
cial returns, is republican triumph, whether
Jewell or English happens to come out ahead
by the few votes which will turn the scale.

Is another objection to the annexation o. Stnto
Domingo at present, Senator Morrill, suggested
the query whether our people are nov h9moge-
neous enough to secure the safety Of the Eepuo-
lie. To say nothing Of our lately acquired SIDE
ria. commonly called Alaska, it must be conce-
ded that Arizona, New Mexico, U tab, and ths'
rortion Of Texas bordering upon Mexico, axe
vet not only essentially uu-American, but they
have no overwhelming attachment to cur form
NJ government nor to the Anglo-Ssxon race. II

any time become weak, it would receive no sue

sitions Of manifest Destiny, but their population
would at any time, most likely flock TO the banner
of any cocked-ha- reyolutionist.

uent Of that race or DO anything which will eie-
yate the colored people above dependence.

The San Domingo Question.

SPEECH OF SENATOR MORRILL, oR VERMONT, DE-
LIvERED IN TIE UNITED STATES SENATE
APRIL Z, 1871.
We have received full report of the able
speech on the San Domingo question BY Senator
Morrill,. As it would make twelve columns in
our naper. we can give only some salient points.
In orepinr. Senator Morrill, accorded to the
President the credit Of being sctuated by the
r,,rest of motives in whatever he had done to
nrorno;e the swift accomplishment OF the annex
alton of San Domingo to this country Inc re-
cent reuort Of the Commissioners, vas not 10 &c
considered as any better authority thsn me VIII
ings of other gentlemen who had oeeh longer II
the island. Cautious action was needeu uPo"
the subject, for treaty or joint resolullon u au
nexation once made and adopted must DC IhAl anu
irrevocable, and whatever the train OF evils .leIe
is no remedy. Let this West India stream oil an
nexation but once pour its full current INTO ,n5
history of the United States, and its polluted
track will be visible for al coming time. or 80
long as the Union shall be preserved from the
great gulf below.
BULLY AMONG REPUBLICs.
Our reputation among sister republics in Ame-
rica the Senator did not consider wholly unblem-
ished, and it was not likely to grow brighter
from Ssnto Domingo complications. Our expe-
rience with Mexico when Texas became a part Of
this Union the Greytown affair in 1852; the
career Of Walker, the flibuster cur difficulty
with Paraguay for ten years or more our atti-
tude toward Cuba the trouble with Peru in
1860; s. recent unpeasantness with Brazil, were
recitel to show that there was no special love for
this Government among those nations. The an
nexafion Of Santo Domingo, whether Of sponts-
peous origin or nursed by the military, naval
and financial power Of the United States cannot
fail to excite the Jealousy and lear OF al tie
ar,sr;,,n republics, and the American Bepu0-
liz sboold he the protector, The counsellor and
gYije Of all her sister republics, AMI no; a land
.lark among them.
