Mr.. GREELEY congresses good deal into
these brief sentences Of reply to a man who
wanted to know if he could MT take him with
him to San Domingo,-the corresp ondent
believing the story that Mr. Greeley was to
be one ofthe commissioners:
All ever saw or heard of Gen. Grant as
sures me that be has too much sense to
think of sending me to San Domingo. Thus
far, he has hOnored and gratified me by new
er suggesting to me that | could be more
useful to the country, OF to his administra-
ton. in any other position than in that
which l have filed to my own entire satisfac-
tion for almost thirty years. At all events,
assure you that | never thought of going to
San Domingo-am not Il trust) wanted TO 20
to San Domingo-and, at all events, won 90
to San Domingo.
1t is evident from this letter that Mr..
Greeley has not been offered Offices, to any
extent-by President Grant.

TIE AMENDMENT TO THE SAN Domingo Res
eLUTIoN.-We copy from an exchange the
following in respect to the effect of the
House amendment of the San Domingo res
olution
The House Of Representatives yesterday
by adopting the explanatory amendment of
Mr.. Amber to the Senate resolutions on
San Domingo, defeated the scheme for annex
ing half an island. The Amber amendment,
as it is called, while authorizing the Presi-
dent to appoint commissioners to visit the
island, expressly guarded this by clause
that nothing so done should be regarded COM
hitting the government to the annexation OF
Dominica.
If, as many OF the supporters of the San
Domingo resolution in the Senate asserted,
the appointment of commissioners was mere
ly for purposes of investigation, it is odd
that the Amber amendment, which secures
this Interpretation, should have been so We
hemently opposed by the friends of the res
olution. But the conduct of these persons
has been throughout basty, dictatOrial and
iniudicious. General Butler and Others
refused to give reasonable time to debate the
resolutions in the House yesterday, and Mr..
Orth made the extraordinary blunder oftell-
ing the House that
" the adoption OF the resolution, pure ana simple
was due to the President who had been un{ustly
assaied by political enemies and by political
friends"
This was an extraordinary blunder, because
it needlessly dragged the Presidents infu-
ence and credit into a question which the
House ten minutes later decided against his
wishes.
The vote on the Amber amendment stood
l06 to 76. A scrutiny of the ayes and noes
reveals few singular facts
First, of the minority of seventy-six who
voted against the Amber amendment, forty
four will not appear in the Congress which
will assemble on the fourth of next March,
and only thirty-two are reelected ; and,
secondly a large number of those who voted
thus were members from southern states, q
class who have been, of course with some
honorable exceptions, according to Wash
ington reports, extraordinarily eager for
official patronage and executive favor.
fla direct vote had been taken on annexa-
ton, instead of on commission of inquiry,
we do not believe sixty votes could have
been found in the House to favor it. This
is pretty much decisive of the defeat of any
attempt to annex by joint resolution.
Whether new treaty would fare any better
in the Senate than the old one did, is not
quite certain it is certain, however, that
the President IS doing what he can to con-
vert Senators to his project.

shat petition in any field of humane effort,
counting name for name and considering
that the Senator thinks that HE side counts
nine, white Our side counts but one, this
proposal is fair one.
An exchange hostile to Woman Suffrage,
but which is yet candid enough to under
stand that there is no more improperly in
petitioning for suffrage, than in remonstrat-
ing against it, SO far as woman's sphere is
concerned, thus observes respecting this De-
tition
The paper is as forcible an entrance upon
public life, to show that women ought never
to enter upon public life, as we ever remem-
Der to have seen.

so determined upon this project that it is
better to accept many San Domingo jobs,
however unpalatable, than to break up the
Republican party. Upon this point the
Commercial suggests that the enemies of the
San Domingo job are not responsible Tor
this hrebrand, and that it is far more likely
the Republican party will be destroyed by
rejecting it. 1t condenses the objections to
the scheme as follows
% There is great danger in such an annex
alton of anne1ing civil war or rebellion
along with it. Hayti has unsettled claims
on the Dominican land and people. There
is a large party of adherents to Cabral, who
was President Of San Domingo before Baez,
and who would be malcontents under the
successful scheme of the latter for selling his
country. To annex San Domingo as state,
with such population as it contains, would
be dangerous and preposterous. To annex
it as a territory would involve us IN heavy
expenditure, both military and naval, which
the people would never approve.
Z" We have said nothing of the jobs per-
sonal and pecuniary. which are charged TO
be involved in this annexation business
But if the hands of everybody connected
Herewith were as clean as the virtue of
Caesars wife, we submit that there are here
abundant grounds for rejecting annexation,

We cut from the New York Tribune the
following:
Meanwhile the ideas suggested yesterday
by Mr. Schurz, and previously limited by
Mr.. Sumner, concerning the tendency of the
negroes to the West Indies, and the ultimate
probability of a negro confederation there,
will command the thoughtful consideration
of statesmen. We do not include in that
category the superserviceable brawlers who
not long ago made night in the Senate
chamber hideous by brutal attacks upon a
member who choose to do his duty as he un-
derstood it, 1t was not by such follies that
the Republican party was built up; nor is'its
continued power TO be assumed without their
reputation. We hold the present action Of
the Senate precisely right we regard the
Of the House a wise and need-
full concession and we hope to see the re-
suit accepted as an end of strife.
