home soon after the Ist Of March.
] There has been no case Of illness in
the party, and the season Is healthy
everywhere in th1 island, so far as
heard from, All the United States Of
fieers upon the island are well.
The report Of the commission can
hardly be ready for Congress before
the latter part Of March, or ten days
after their arrival in Washington. 1t
will doubtless contain a very faVora-
bic summary Of the material resources
of the island, and a strong eommen-
dation Of Samana as naval station.
The bearing of the observations made
and studies presented upon the pOliti-
cal and social and economical ques-
tons connected with the annexation
will probably be touched upon only
so far as to call public attention to
them, but without presenting an ar
gument either for or against anneXa-
tion. The report will undoubtedly
fully vindicate the Presidents motives
and declare that his sole connection
with the matter has been in his OH
ciaI capacity and that he is not con-
cerned in private operations of any
kink.
There has been, however, a very
questionable use Of the war power d.
rected really against Hayti, as the Of
ficers of the navy have positive or
ders from their supeIiors to use their
ships to defend Baez against his enc
mics In the island These orders do
not show en- their face that they or
iginated in the department, but came
direct from the commanding officer
of the fleet over a year ago.
The survey of public lands by
New York company is going rapidly
forward. The contract with the Do
minican government gives them one
fifth Of the whole amount. The con.
tract was first made with Fabens, and
he arranged with the New York cap
itilists. Interests have been offered
to unofficial persons in Washington.
The agent Of the company here max
ing the survey is also an agent Of the
government to see that the company
do not get all the best land. Thus far
Sc, 900 has been expended in the sur
veY. The company Is selecting as tar
as possible outside Of all the doubtful
Spanish grant. There are millions OF
profit in the scheme ii annexation
takes place.
There is much to think of in the
above. 1t is written as strong as pos
sibIe-without seeming to be SOTO
create create favorable opinion among
the people of the annexation scheme
Those earnest fellows who have a fin
ger in the pie, or expect to have, are
not willing to wait for report from
the Commission, but they pronounce
the land good "on sight" Time will
tell and there will be two sides to the
report.

In the Senate, the House bill
to guard the purity Of Of the elections
was reported favorsbly by the Judiei-
ary Committee; also, from the Militia
~ Committee, the bill extending the
time for filing bounty claims. The
Legislative and Judicial Appropria-
ton bill was taken up. The amend
ments repeating the prohibition
against the use Of pardOns in the
Court of Claims was adopted aftel
some discussion. The amendments
increasing the judicial salaries and to
make a park in Washington were al
so agreed to. Without final action the
Senate, after q short executive session,
adjourned.
In the House, a number Of bills and
resolutions were introduced, among
which was one by Mr.. Van Trump,
directing the immediate collection OF
the New York Central scrip dividend
tax, and also the resolution Of the
West Virginia Legislature against the
Newport & Cincinnati Bridge on its
present plan. The bill authorizing the
President to appoint in conjunction
with Great Britain, a joint commits
sion to settle the Northwestern bound
ary passed after considerable discus
sion, by a vote of122 to72. Mr.. Dawes
led the opposition on the ground Of its
being at present unnecessary expendi-
ture. The report Of the Judiciary
Committee on the McGarrahan claim
was then taken up and the discussion
continued. Finally the minority re-
port was substituted for the majority
report, and passed. 1t directs the
Secretary Of the Interior to cause a
record Of the patent to PanOehe Grande
TO be transcribed into the records as
the same stood on the record book of
the General Land Office at the time it
was examined, without any mutilatiOn
or erasure whatever; so that the legal
effect Of the record so Transcribed
shall be the same as II the original re-
cord had never been interfered with
or mutilated, and it authorizes and
requires the President of the United
States to do in the premises whatev-
er may in his judgment be just and
equitable, without regard to any ae-
tion or proceeding had subsequent to
the 14th of March 1888, the date of the
patent recorded. Adjourned.

Bless US! We don't get fattered
much, we North-men and NOrth-wo-
men, down in New-0rleans. The
Times Of that city, issued on Sunday
too (Feb. 81, when it should have been
charitable, speaks of 1.-THE asp-like
spitefulness Of Anna Dickinson" OF
ifthe hypocritical sarcasm Of sectional
authors;n Of ssthe taste which can feast
of the billingsgate of Sumner and the
familiar blasphemy of Beecher." "
While we allow that "hypOcritical
sarcasm is egOOd" though mysteri-
ous: that ''asp-like spitefulness" is
forcible, though not gallant when ap-
piled to q lady, we must aver that
Mr.. Sumner Is as little likely TO talk
biIIingsgate as any man in the Senate
-as little likely as Mr.. Beeeeher is TO
preach blasphemy in the pulpit; and
We are sorry TO find billingsgate, and
II not bIasphemy, at least falshood,
stIII characterizing New Orleans
journalism.
