The Report of the Commissioners to
be Doctored Accordingly.

The Tri5un6S Washington special says
A rumOr is current that the Administra'
tiOn has decided to drop the Santo Do
mingo business, for the sake Of harmon
izing the Republican party; that in order
TO afford reason for q change Of policy
the report of the Commissioners will con
clud0 with the recommendation that
nothing further be done toward annexa'
tion at present, on account Of the state oI
civil war existing in large portion
Of the island. This report Can be traced
TO no trustworthy source. 1t has probably
been OCCasiOned by the statement Of Sena.
tor Morton in his speech, that il the Com
missiOners report should be aversc TO an.
nexalion, he would be In favor Of Rban.
dOning the project. isdeClaration was
thought 10 have some important signif'
cancc, in view Of tho fact that the CORES.
pondents with the expedition announced
that the Commission were unanimously
in favor Of annexation.
Another Washington correspondent tel.
Ggraphs: It seems 10 be tho general
opinion OF tho Commissioners that an
nexation cannot take place without in
volving the United States in o war with
Hayti. Baez admitted to the Commis'
slOners that there are ono thousand square
miles of territory belonging to the DOmln.
ican Republic, and lying contiguous 10
Hayti, under control Of Cabral and his
followers 1t Is stated that Baez did moi
make any effort to allow the Commission
ers to meet Cabral, but on the contrary
he assured them that he could not afford
them any protection II they visited thai
part of the island where Ca6ral has sway
The Commissioners, and those who ac'
companied them, speak In the highest
terms Of the island, It's climate, and its
productions, but appear to entertain o
poor opinion of the people, who arc de-
scribed as indolent, superstitious, and eX'
ceedingly undesirable, in their present
condition, as IN addition TO the popula'
tion OF the United States The impress
sion Is, that the report Of the Commits.
sion, when submitted 10 Congress, will
not materially strengthen the position u.s.
sumed by tue friends Of annexation.

The Gas Question Again.

1t appears that the complainants in the case
of r. r. Swepson and others against myself and
others, are anxious for newspaper notoriety, and
have their triumph in their late &c parte appli-
cation for a receiver published to the world.
This renders it necessary for the ends of justice
and my own self respect, to say to the citizens
of Knoxville that the charges in the complain
ANTS bill, which are not pretended to be alleged
upon any knowledge or eUen upon information.
are substantially untrue, as the pleadings and
proofs in the cause will in good time show.
The appointment of a receiver was entirely
ca parte before any evidence was taken, entire
ly within the discretion of the Court, and
proves nothing more in the case, except that the
complainants in the cause swore they believed
enough to effect that purpose.
The temporary effect of this order is, for the
the time, to take this property, which | and my
associates have rebuilt, out of our possessions,
and place the same into the hands of stranger
until the complainants show whether their
schemes have succeed in getting control of it. On
this line propose to fight it out if it takes sew
eral summers.
In the meantime, it is my purpose that the
public shall have a full exposition of all the
facts and hidden movements in the case, made
to them in my own way, so that they cannot be
misunderstood. GEO. NJ. BTANNER,
President of the Knoxville Gas Light Co.

On Sunday morning, after the sun had risen,
the heat began to be excessive. People were
restless and sought in vain for comfort. 1t was
too hot to go to church it was too hot to stay
at home Reading was not TO be thought Of
to sleep was out of the question. The. only al
tentative was for those who could to fly to the
cool shade of the woods and get away from the
sultry, dust-burdened air of the city. About
sunset, banks of heavy clouds piled up ir the
west with fair prospect for rain, and the sun
ing to ali the old farmers in the county, insures
rain before Wednesday night. After dark the
Tghtnings flashed in the distance, but the night
passed away and the expected rain did not
come. Yesterday morning cool breezes came
from where the rain had been and made exist
ence tolerable but the heat was excessive,
during the entire day, the thermometer reaching

A Noble Work.

We are pleased to record noble work now
being conducted by gallant son of East Ten
nessee, Lieut. T. T. Thornburgh, now in the
United States Regular Army, stationed at San
Francisco. An island in the harbor is used as
prison fer military offenders. Lieut.. Thorn
burgh. approaching the advantage that educa-
ton gives, some time ago opened a school at his
post where not only the men of his command
were taught the rudments of an English edu-
cation-spelling, reading, writing and arithme-
tic-but even the prisoners receive the benefit of
his enlightened views and training, A San
Francisco paper, commenting on this noble
effort on the part of Lieut.. Thornburgh, says
that there is not man now there but who can
read and write and hopes that other officers will
initiate the example.
