A Gard,

NV attention was called to an extract
taken from the Petersburg linden, and pub
lished in your issue of yesterday, relative
to the arrest of the supposed murderers
of Mr.. Chas. Friend, and in justice to my
self and the department represent feel
called upon to contradict that article as
being wholly untrue. Detective Craddock
and myself did not have an interview with
Mr. Donnan relative to this case until our
plans were fully determined upon; nor did
we receive any information, or even seek
any, from this gentleman. Before arriving
at any conclusion in this matter we con-
suited with Capt. Thomas Pannill, a citizen
of Petersburg, who gave us all the particu-
lars, and to him alone are we indebted tor
any information whatever. After We made
up our minds to make the arrest, we re-
unested Mr.. Donnan TO accompany us to
Prince George aud this was done IN order
| that we might have access TO the jail.
We are under no obligations whatever 10

nnce rendered in this matter; on the other

what grounds we were working. We were

AN OLD ACQUAINTANCE IN A NEW HOUSE.
There is hardly citizen OF Virginia who
has had occasion to visit Richmond to whom
the name of John P. Billiard is not familiar,
and who haven't pleasant recOllections OF
the man who bears it. Besides being by
all odds the best hotel keeper in the State,
there was courtly bearing and genuine
politeness about the man that made every
body his friend. Everybody regretted his
leaving Richmond, and everybody will be
clad to know that he is in the business
again, and that at the Maltby House, in
Baltimore, he may be again seen in his ca
pacty OF host. 1t is hardly of any use to tell
Il Virginian where TO stop in Baltimore,
when he knows that John Z. Ballard is ut
the Maltby House.

The UNITED STATES INCOME TAX FOR
1S!0.-7o the. Editors Of the Dispatch A
misrepresentation seems to exist In the
public mind regarding the liability of per.
sons to make and render statement of their
income for the year 1870.
The late ruling of the commissioner ex-
empts those not having gross income of
over 1000 from making a return; but all
persons having gross income over this
amount must make returns as heretofore,
or lay themselves liable to assessment, pen
atty, &c.
By giving this a place in your paper you
may save Yexation and trouble hencetorth
to many. All who have not made returns
must do so by the 10th Of the present
month. w. n. READ. Asst Assessor.

Mir. BUTLER: That is Maryland fair
play, TO pick up words and put r wrong
construction upon them. He was going on
to say that he entered Baltimore in May of
1861 in thunder storm which frightened
the member from Maryland and those like
him. He was at the head Of one thousand
troops, aud be entered a rebel city Of at
least 160,000 Inhabitants. The following
day he was appointed hriSadier general
OF volunteers. and within twcnty-tnur
hours he left the ely aud went to another
| field Of duty.
Mr.. SW ANN: I hone We may never see
the member there again. ILaughtcr.l-
Mr.. BUTLER said he did not see the gen
teman. All that kind of cattle kept ont of
his way. He went away from Baltimore.
and therefore what becomes of the charge
OF the gentleman that he was LAYING there
drunk three days? The gentleman from

boasts that he ha.! handled millions Of mo.

United States funds who brought these
charges against him. These robbers Judged
MN by their own base desires. for they
knew that if they had had the handling of
millions they would have stolen them. He
was also accused Of having dealt with wo-
men and children. end Of having issued an
order TO insult the women Of city Of the
south. He did not deny that he issued an
order to protect his soldiers in the South,
and the order executed itself, for the re-

SYNOPSIS OF THE SAN DOMINGO REPORT.
The report OF the San Domingo commits
sioners covers thirty-one printed pages.
Much OF it is merely description of the
island, its products, and the social and po-
litical condition Of the inhabitants. The
material points of the report have already
been published. The commissioners say
that all classes of the Dominicans are anX-
ious for annexation. The commissioners
say they desired in the most friendly spirit
to make the same observations and study of
Hayti and its inhabitants as they had made
Of the Dominican Republic. They intima-
ted to the President and his council their
dispositions and desires. They stated, even,
that they should be glad to be put in the
way of aScertaining what were the claims OF
Hayti upon Santc Domingo, and what were
the views and wishes OF the Haytien people
with respect to any changes that might be
brought about in the neighboring republic;
but they received no encouragement to
pursue their inquiries. They asked YER
bally and through our Minister in writing
for permission to explore the interior of the
island, but this was met in Il spirit equiVa-
lent to refusal. The commissioners say,
in conclusion, on reviewing the whole hed
of their investigations, looking to the inter.
ests of both divisions OF the island, they are
firmly persuaded the annexation vi 81. Do-
minGo to the United States would be hardly
less beneficial to the Haytien than to the
Dominican people. This benefit would
arise first from the example which would
doubtless be afforded Of Il well-regulated,
orderly, and prosperous State-the great
need of that part of the world, and which
it has as vet never seen. A second ana
more direct benefit would arise from the
equitable establishment OF a boundary line
between the French-speaking. and the
Spanish-speaking nations upon that island,
and its guarantee by q strong power. ms
would end the exhausting border warfare,
which has been one of the greatest curses
of Bayti as we'll as Santo Domingo, and
would enable both to devote their energies
thenceforward to the education Of their
people and the development Of their re-
sources. .'a ,s~s -.. -
