ton as to Imprisonment Of individuals for
political offenses, the President most
emphatically says that no one has been
imprisoned or banished for opinions
against annexation; that all who fol-
lowed Cabral January 3lst, 1867, did 80
at their own free will, and that some
few who have gone since owe their
forced absence to the fact that they con-
spired against the public safety in favor
OF Cabral or Luperon. -.
The debt of the Republic appears TO
be as stated in the Senate by Mr.. Nor.
ton and others, namely, one and a half
million dollars gold, but friends OF
Baez say that unless great care is taKen
to reject spurious claims a much larger
amount will be required. 1t seems to
be the desire of Baez's administration
to paw the debts while the government
still has legislative power to admit or
reject accounts, according as they are
lust or spurious. None Of the clergy,
as is stated, have thus far made any
protest against annexation. 1t was
charged in the Senate debate that Baez
intended to leave the country. Ihls he
emphatically denies.

CONGRESSIONAL.
HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, February 81.

WASHINGTON, February 81.
Mr.. Wheeler, from the Pacific Rail
road committee, reported back Senate
bill entitled an act to incorporate the
Texas Pacific Railroad Company and
aid in the construction Of the road, and
for other purposes, with an amendment.
He stated that part Of the Senate bill
had been preserved.
Mr.. Randall called for the reading OF
the original bill, which contains the
names of John C. Fremont, Marshall
o. Roberts, Thomas A. Scott and VIM.
Sicrans as incorporators.
The amendment proposed by Mr..
Wheeler was next read. 1t changes
some Of the names Of the incorpora.
tors and changes the name Of the COM
pany to the South Pacific Railroad
Company, and reduces the capital from
100000. 900 to $50000,000.
Mr.. Julian raised a question whether
the bill should be considered at this
time.
The House agreed TO do 80.
Mr.. Wheeler explained the amend
ment reported by him from the COM
mittee. The bill from the Senate pro-
vided for six different lines; the amend
ment provides for single trunk from
Cincinnati, from point on the eastern
boundary Of the State east, and at or
near Marshal, to Ship channel, in the
bay Of San Diego, Cal, pursuing route
known as thirty-second, parallel north
latidude. The Senate bill provided for
a gauge five feet; this amendment pro-
posed a Uniform gauge.
Mr.. Garfield said while he believed
that Congress ought to put an end 70
land grants, he believed that the
passage Of the Southern Pacific rail,
road bill was great act of commercial
justice to the. South, and he was in
favor of the bill.
After remarks BY Messrs. Allison
and Wheeler, the House agreed to
Mr.. Wheeler's amendment to the
Senate bill, when the House passed
the Senate bill as thus amended. Yeas
134, nays 20.
Mr.. Churchill, from committee on
Elections, made a report in the Missouri
contested election case of Shields against
Vanhorn, with resolutions that Shields,
contestant is not entitled to the seat
that Vanhofn, the sitting member is
and that Shields shall be paid 5000
expenses. Resolutions adopted.

that correspondence was now going or

LONDON, Feb. 2l.-In the House oi

topics of their deliberations.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2l.-The Herald s
special from Paris, of the Goth, says
the Metz question is solved. The part
of Lorraind to be annexed will include
SAINT Mousson. The French are
pressing for a prolongaticn of the ar,
mistice to March .. Should it be
granted, however, Moltke insists on the
entry Of the German troops into Paris
on the 25tb, and will probably prevail.
The meeting of Parliament, at Ber-
lin, has been postponed to March 18th

Union Bethel Partly Burned.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 2l.-The old part

FOREIGN SUMMARY.

Paris will be lighted with gas on Sat
uriay.
London mails for Paris are now for
warded via Calais.
\ dispatch from Paris says it is prob,
able the armistice will be extended until
the first of March.
The Daily NerS says there are seven
teen vessels in the French port of Dun
Kirk, formidably armed.
The scarcity Of fuel is much felt in
Paris. The administration Of the
Northern railway shares with the popu-
.a,ion. Coal is arriving daily.
The Jockey and Rye Royal Clubs OF
Paris have resolved that all candidates
of German birth shall be excluded from
the city government.
The statement that Bright is likely to
return shortly to Parliament is well
founded. His temperance in the
House will most likely be preceded by
avisit 10 his constituents. Mr.. Brights
health is improving steadily.

SAN DOMINGO.
Condition Of the Country not a
Bad as Represented.


NEW YORK, February 20.-The Ti-
b,o,s's San Domingo correspondent
writes that Baez's government denies
emphatically that any cession Of lands,
any lease or any advantages or special
privileges whatever, had been granted
to any person whatever in the United
States or elsewhere. From the best in
formation obtainable it appears their
mines are regulated according to the
French laws, which declare that "Pri-
vate owners are owners of the surface
and what is below the surface, provided
there are no mines, or at least until
after they obtain authorization from
the government for such mines in ad-
vance of announcement, designation, &c,
by others" There are, therefore, Baez
says, no reservations in contradiction to
the law in force In reply to the ques-
