THE COMMISSIONERS VISIT THE PRESlDENI
LONG CoNFERENCE-TH REPORT NOT DIS
CUsSED.
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The health OF MI " auc'
which was regarded with anxiety by ms iilends
last night was so far improved as to enable nm 10
visit the President to-day, with the other Com
missioners who were accompanied by MT. fleu
Douglas, Gen. Sigel and other gentleman ohclaily
connected with the expedition. Mr.. Wades com
plete and speedy recovery is regarded as certain II
he is permitted to remain quiet for day OF two'
The President received the gentlemen very kindly
and the conference lasted nearly two hours. zen
eral matters relating TO the island, lts clnnate'
healthfuluess the comfort OF the Commissioners
their entertainment, &C.. were referred TO- ana 'I'
President manifested much feeling when he was
assured that the climate was regarded as heallui'
and other advantages were enumerated. u knew
it was so," he said. Il have been well Informed
upon the question, and ! have long known that thc
climate of Santo Domingo was as you haYo de-
scribed it."
Mr. Wade and Dr. Howe did most of the talking
on the part of the Commissioner and both expressed
the belief that Cabral is of tho class OF bnSands
which infest the Grecian and Turkish border.
The excitement regarding the reported loss OF the
Commissioners and party by shipwreck was made the
subject Of comment and congratulaton, but nothing
was said about the delay and procrasination of the
Commissioners nor the expected report referred
to further than this. The Commissioners said
they had the report in preparation, and that they
would present it when it was finished and the Pres-
dent signfed his satisfaction and did not ask when
it would be ready, nor what it would contain Mr.
Wade's illness will delay tho report somewhat, but
it is probable it will be ready before the end OF the
week 1t is thought, from the well-known views OF
Mr.. Wade and Dr. Howe, that the report VIII
guardedly suggest the Importance Of an early
consideration Of the sauto Domingo question by
Congress- owing to the helpless and hopeless condi-
ton of the people of the island which was brought
about OF engendered largely by the persuasive con-
duct of the United States for the past two years
From opinions expressed tonight, it is by 10 means
certain that Congress will postpone the subject OF
annexation until next Winter.

s,R. SUMMERS ARGUMENT IMPAIRED BY HI:
ACERBTTY.
1F-ors The Albany Ete1ino Journal

Mr.. Sumner impairs such force as ms argu-
ment on the santo Domingo question might otherwise
have by his aeorbiy OF spirit and his exaggeration OF
utierance His speech is able aud powerful. But when
he compares the action Of the Administration concerning
Sauto Domingo to the demonstration OF the
KuKlux, he attempts rhetorical efect,
which, instead Of strengthening only weakens
his case because il Is palpaby strained and farfeched
As to the question OF an undue exercise OF power,
the OF the official documents preclude decisive
Judgment upon the force OF his reasoning The letter or
Capt. Temple unquestionably foolish eKhlbitlOn.
when he assumed to the Commissioners that H. IN
vcHuTing upon overland journey, they should fan
into the hands Of the Hayens they might be treated az
spies be said what equally silly and unwarranted
