A remarkable case, showing the dan.
ger Of trusting implicitly to circumstan.
tial evidence, has just been concluded in
Toledo. Nearly three years ago ROBBERS
Sharp was found dead, with shot and
slugs in his brain. A man named Har.
rington, who had been on intimate terms
with the deceased, was arrested for the
murder. The testimony was wholly cir.
cumstantial, but SO skillfuily "worked up"
BY the detectives that Harrington was
convicted and sent to the Penitentiary.
His lawyers had become interested in
tho case, and although Harrington was
poor man, they determined to fight his
cause to the end After long and arduous

SantO Domingo.

The speech of Senator Summer on
San.o Domingo is too long for our col
umns. We DO not even attempt regu-
lar synopsis of it, but briefly state that
the Senator argues, TO establish himself
in his declarations, that in the proceed
ings carried on between Baez, the Gov
crnor of Sauto Domingo, and our govern
meut at Washington, with a view of an
ne1ing that Island to the United States,
the constitution of this country has been
violated, and that the Constitution of
Santo Domingo has been violated, and
that the plainest provisions OF interna-
,ional law have been violated and put
aside. The Senator, to sustain himself
in bis declarations, quotes the business re-
cord of the navy and other departments of
our government: in their transactions with
Baez and his government. and number
OF authors on international law. " hat
ever may have actuated The Influential
men who urged President Grant TO favor
the annexation of Sauto Domingo, he
himself syet stands before the people
without the taint Of suspicion of having
.espoused the cause Of annexation with
any other han tie purest OF motives.
The people who elected General Grant
President believed him to be a man of
pure inteutions. That opinion has not
been changed and if lie has made mis-
takes, they were, it is believed, caused
by bad counsel more than impure inten-
tions. The record Of either President or
King during troublous times has yet TO
be presented to the world that does not
bear the impress Of a mistake here and
there. .f... --..
AS to the sentiment Of the people on
the question for or against the annexa-
,ion of Santo Domingo, it is in these
valleys largely against 1t. tlow greatly
this feeling will be intensified, or to what
degree it will be removed by the report
of the Commission that visited that Island
for the purpose of investigating and re-
porting to Congress the condit on Of its
people, their sentiments in regard to an
nexation, its resources, &c, the country
will soon know, Cnce the report Of the
Commission has been laid before Con
gress. If, after that, the people are
against it, President Grant doubtless will
reiterate tue true American sentiment
