What it Means.

A sagacious writer in the Richmond
(Na.) Wing has found the key to Mr..
Grants San Domingo policy. and COM
pletely vindicates him from the imputa-
ton Of mercenary and kindred motives
that have been put upon his action. His
theory is that Mr.. Grant, as a far-seeing
statesman of almost unfathomablo pro-
fundity, is seeking to acquire country
peculiarly adapted to the physical con-
stitution and wants of the negro race, with
a view to the Inauguration of Il wholesale
system Of colonization. The grounds up
on which he bases this theory are quite
plausible. They are that in early life
Mr., Grant was 4 ,Jelfersonian Democrat,
and in later years Lincoln Republican.
From this starting point he draws the in
ference that Mr. Grant cherishes the
principles and holds to the opinions of
those two eminent leaders of great parties.
And then, turning to the words of Jetler-
son, and to the speech make t, a delega-
ton of negroes at the White House in
1862, by Lincoln, he quotes:
From Mr.. j eherson.
Nothing is more certainly written in the book
of fate than that these people are to be free;
| nor is it less certain that the two races, equally
free, cannotilive under the same government.
From Mr.. Lincoln.
| Why should not the people of your race be
colonized? Why should they not leave this
country? This is, perhaps. the first question
| for consideration. You and we are a different
race. We have between us a broader difference
| than exists between almost any other two races.
! Whether it is right or wrong, I need not dis
cuss. But this physical difference is great
disadvantage to us both, as think your race
suffers greatly, many of them by living with
us, while others suffer from your presence.
| In word, we suffer on each side. If this is
admitted it shows reason why we should be
| separated.
After reciting statistical facts to show
that the '-island" of San Domingo is one
of unsurpassed fertility, capable OF sus-
tanning population of ten millions Of
souls, with climate peculiarly adapted
to the negro constitution, the writer
reaches the conclusion that Mr.. Grant
aims at ITS acquisition for the purpose Of
colonizing our four millions of colored
people upon it, making great black re-
public-thus throwing Sumner, Phillips
and the rest into the shade as a champion
Of the African race. The fact that Fred
Douglass and son were sent out in com
pany with Mr.. Wade's commission
strengthens this view of the matter.

ANECDOTE OF Col. BARNES. A cores
pondent sends us the following anecdote
of the late Col. Isaac q. Barnes, which he
thinks has not vet found its way into print;
About the year 1852 the writer was q
fellow boarder at the famed old tavern,
the Bromfield House. One evening, after
an arduous and protracted contest with
the Col. at "checkers'' favorite game
with him he proposed adjourning to q
neighboring oyster room and fortifying the
elmer man. with a few bivalves on the
"half she'll" The weather was not prop
itious for the oyster trade, being warm
and muggy, and the oysters not over the
above fresh. The Colonel, though feel
ing somewhat dissatisfied and occasion
ally applying his nose to a suspicious mol
lusk managed to make way with q doz-
eli, the writer assisting him.
"How much to paya" demanded the
Colonel.
twenty-five cents" replied the she'll
fish dealer. Thrusting his hand into his
pocket, the Colonel produced twenty-four
cents, and laying them on the counter
started for the door.
''Look here, Colonel" sung ont the
opener, 81 want one more cent"
you want one more scent, do you?
Well then, just smell of your oysters, and
you'll get it, Com. Bulletin.

S,Ia.6s4, of which Si2S,605 was from customs,
and $50 400 from taxes.
The Commissioners lay great stress on their
efforts to get the exact state of the debt Of the
Dominican republic, and believe their conclu-
Sions are substantially correct. San Domingo
l. not believed to be liable to pay any portion of
the indemnity eXacted by France from Hayti,
and the Commission is assured that no obllga-
ti6ns or negotiations have been entered into
with any country except the United States.
The extent of undiSputed Dominican territory
is 222l2 square miles; the portion which for
merry involved Il dispute with llayt, beng
1000 square miles. The Commission present
full statement Of all the grants and concessions
of public lands and franchises, and declare mat
after the most searching and complete lnvestl-
cations they were unable to flnd any grant OF
concession in any form or manner to any United
States official, either in connection with the ne
gotiation or preparation Of the treaty. The Do
minicans repeat their willingness to be annexed
on the terms of the treaty of 1869, asking in adj
,lition the payment of the rent for the Bay of
SANTANA, dnring the two years that negotiations
have been pending. They are also willing to
appropriate one fifth Of the public lands for
public schools, provided the United States will
appropriate 100000 for the establishment of an
Agricultural and Scientific college. The Com
mission, in concluding this portion OF the re-
port show that Dominican INDEPENDENCE never
has been. and probably never will be fact,
and say that the only chance for the Republic
to recover its independence is to become, after
Il proper period, one of a union of States, the
freedom and substantial independence of each,
beng guaranteed by the strength of ALL 1t Is
beyond the province Of the Commissioners, I'M |
der the resolution of Congress, to recommend !
that such n course be adopted or abstained |
from They simply state it as their belief: |
founded upon all the observations they could |
make and facts they could learn, that this is the |
only way in which Dominican independence can |
be secured, and that if it be judged best not to
adopt that course, even the present shadow of
will be taken away. To show |
The commercial importance of annexation, the |
Commissioners mention only the tobacco trade |
of the island, which is rapidly becoming the |
of the German Empire. Under
stable government San Domingo might be |
developed into powerful State which by the |
laws of trade would make slave labor in the |
neighborng islands improbable, and by the |
spread of its ideas would make the whole slave |
aud caste system odous. The Commissioners |
conclude their report by brief ausion to their |
unfruitfu visit to the Capitol of Hayti in search |
of information, AMI expressing confident opin- |
ion that the annexation of San Domingo to the |
fnitca stato,, will be ecarccly less benefit to
IIayti than To the Dominican people.

A Strange Story.
From the Augusta Journal,

Our readers will remember that some
time since we published an account Of
gold digging near the banks Of New
Meadows river, and gave some account
OF mysterious parsonage who after dig
gng some time in that locality, departed
evidently well pleased with the result Of
his labor: Small Point now claims the
precedent as the following will show:
Some time last week q stranger visited
Small Point, having in his possession u
chart of the coast, and stated to one of the
residents that he desired his aid in obtain
ing large amount of money which was
buried there. This resident, being Il
practical man and not having much faith
in digging for money, was ut first not
much inclined to accompany the stranger,
but finally yielded to his desires and set
out with HIM for the hidden wealth. They
proceeded to certain point marked out
on the chart, where after digging some
two feet. a large stone was exposed to
view under which was box containing
5000 Peruvian coins. all of the same date,
and which had evidently been obtained
direct from the mint. The stranger,
taking the larger amount of this money,
departed from Small Point. Yesterday
afternoon the Captain who accompanied
him and who saw him dig the money, was
out on the streets exhibiting a number of
the dug up pieces, and many of our
citizens must bear us witness that they too
have seen and handled the coins. 1t has
created not little excitement in this
vicinity, and Small Point will undoubted-
ly be we'll searched over the coming
season.
