WAR WITH SAN DOMINGO.

The San Domingo Commission is prob
ably by this time snufing the Hayden
breezes the poets are so fond of. A jolly
voyage they have had, unless some bill
lowy or other accident has befallen them.
They went prepared for high time, and
a high time they have had over casks
and demij johns of brandy and bourbon,
and sparkling wine. But, if the last
news from San Domingo be true, their
jollity will GENE to an end on their arri-
val at the shores so much coveted by our
President A San Domingo correspond
ent writes on the llth Of January:
The annexation plan met with violent
opposition by the opponents of Baez
Cabral and his adherents are very active,
and he has four armies in the field ready
to act against Baez All the principal
cities are opposed TO annexation, and
are fully determined TO test the protec-
torate of the United States to Baez' 8
government, and declare themselves
ready to try conclusions with the United
States gunboats at once rather than sub
NIT or wait any longer, and it is not i'm
probable that they will commit some
overt act to bring matters to an end.
Thisis stunning news Does the project
of annexation mean a war with San Do
mingoY 1t really looks like it. The
people, IT seems, are opposed to annexa-
ton and are ready to fight the United
States TO avoid Incorporation into the
folds of our glorious Union. These
highly polished people have been misun-
derstood. Grant said in his message
that they painted to be taken to our
bosoms, and to enjoy the sweets Of our
institutions These are not his words
but they embrace his meaning. n,
doubt they are perfectly familiar witt
the structure Of our Government, havini
committed our Constitution, laws
treaties, Judicial decisions and law book
all to memory. Such a people canno
fail to admire us, but it seems that the.
think themselves capable Of maintaining
their Independence at the point Of th'
sword. But we can defeat them. W,
may not whip them, but may fall npoi
them and crush them, and then draI
them into the charmed circle Of GU
Union. Here is a chance for heroism

ANnREW JACKSON.

What host of associations the name
of Andrew jackson calls upi Anything
in reference to his wonderful career is
ALWAYS ofinterest to his countrymen, and
heard or read with an avidity that is
never wearied. 1t is known that Grant
employs military secretaries. This has
been objected to, on the ground that an
officer of the army cannot hold an office
purely civil. The Radicals justify the
practice, and refer for precedent to
what they allege as fact, that General
Jackson employed Major Donaldson to
act as his private secretary. The Pitts
burg Post, in reference to this subject,
saws that during the time that Donaldson
was attached to the Presidential house
hold he held no military commission
whatever. He was not, however, the
private secretary of the President during
his whole term Of office. and we are not
sure that he was, properly speaking, even
during portion of the time. The gen
tleman who held the position Of comb
Dental friend, adviser and private secre-
tary of President Jackson during the
greater portion of his term of Office, was
the late Judge Hayward, of Ohio, who
died at an advanced age at McConnells-.
Vile in that State, few years ago
In regard to General Jackson's habits,
our contemporary furnishes this interest
ing information: From a personal ac-
quaintance with the latter gentleman,
the writer is authoritatively enabled to
correct an error that is very generally
accepted as an historical fact; namely,
that President Jackson was in the habit
of swearing, and that By the Eternal
was favorite oath with him. The use
of this expletive, in connection with the
South Carolina notification, is set down
as fact in history, Nothing could be
further from the truth. Judge Hayward
has repeatedly assured US that during his
long and intimate acquaintance With Gen.
jackson he never knew him to indulge
in an oath, and but rarely to exhibit tenn
per- Judge Hayward himself wrote the
celebrated Notification Proclamation at
Jacksons suggestion, and we believe
that his family still have the original
draft with the Presidents erasures and
interlineations. 1t was read to the Gen
eral in his private study, before being
submitted to the Cabinet, and its entire
scope and bearing was calmly discussed,
and none of that fry excitement exhib-
tied which has generally been ascribed
to him, and, in the language of Judge
Hayward, nothing could be more alb
surd than the statement that he lost his
reason over SO grave subject and per
mitted his lips, that were free from such
de6lements to be sullied by an oath.
He was calmest when the exigencies
that surrounded him were the greatest.

NEWS BY THE MAIL.
ALABAMA CLAIMS.


WASHINGTON, February lit is cur
rently reported in political circles here
tonight that the President has finally re-
solved to make the Butler programme
ON the Alabama claims his own and to
fake stand in regard to this question
more in consonance with the popular
mind. This involves the supersedure of
Fish by Morton, who is booked for the
State Department; and this is the sole
cause for the delay of Schencks depart
ure. st. Domingo viii very shortly be
overshadowed by the Alabama claims
and grand effort made to have this
question settled forever upon a basis
more humiliating to Great Britain
than the tearing up of the treaty
of 1856 by Russia and then asking
Englands consent if she may do so.
Not only Fish but Boutwell,, too, will have
to leave the Cabinet; and an entire re-
construction is to be had at the opening
Of the new Congress. Several names
are mentioned in connection with the
Treasury; but the great railroad men
boast that Jay Cooke is the coming man,
and that their interests will be well rep
resented near the White House. 1t is
also said that Jay Cookies chances are
the best, as the President places great
faith in Mccullough financial abilities,
and relies upon having the indirect adj
vantage of his counsel through Mr.
Cooke, who is now McCullough's partner
The new Cabinet will be announced
probably in two weeks.
CABINET RECONSTRUCTION.
1t is learned that certain leading Re
publicans have assurances that the Pres
ident will inaugurate the last half of his
term by effecting partial reorganiza-
ton of bis Cabinet with a view to cement
and strengthen the Republican party in
some of the States where it is divided
1t is positively asserted that ON March
4th he will give Indiana and Pennsylva-
MIA Cabinet officers, placing Mr.. Morton
in the State Department, in lieu of
Mr.. Fish, who retires of his own accord,
and selecting some prominent Pennsyl-
vanian for the War or Postofiice Depart
ment. New York, it is further intimated,
is to be represented in the Cabinet by
Ex-Governor and ex-senator Morgan
The change, as the report goes, is not in.
tended to effect the Interior or Treasury
departments, but will include all the
other members of the Cabinet Those
of the present Cabinet came from States
that are largely Democratic. This pro-
posed change seems to have much better
foundation than most of the Washington
rumors about removals and designations
of Cabinet officers.
LIGHTHOUSES ON THE RIVERS.
A committee Of prominent men, rep
resenting the interests of the Western
rivers, are here endeavoring to procure
the passage of bill creating new light
house district, by the location of which
it is proposed to establish system of
lights, buoys, channel marks, ETC., for the
Western rivers. They claim that while
the whole foreign commerce Of the United
States is valued at eight hundred nal
lions, that of the entire Mississippi val
ley reaches the enormous sum of two
thousand millions; and they claim that
while large sums of money have been
spent in providing for the safety of the
former, not one cent has been expended
to assist the latter.

offensive and an attempt to strengthen
