san DOMINGO ANNEXATION SCHEME


The fact that Congress has author
ized commission to visit San Domin-
go-dead-heading the gentlemen COM
prising Ito see what value to US that
country will be, and to find out ali
about it, makes history OF former at
tempts at annexation ofinterest. We
give the following. simply stating
that we do not favor any such
scheme:
Secretary Fish, in his answer to the
Senate resolution asking for infOrma-
tion upon the subject, gave history
Of former negotiations. Under Presi-
dent Pierce, negotiations were opened
for obtaining the Bay Of Samana and
General Mcclellan was sent cut to
make survey Of the bay. General
Mcclellan reported that "the best pos
sible feeling appears to prevail to-
ward Americans But the people af-
terward became so indignant at the
thought Of transfer to the United
States that the family Of an Ameri-
can commercial agent was threatened
with violence and the town cry was
''Down with the Yankees" This,
with the protests Of the representa-
tives Of Spain, England and France,
broke of the negotiations. Judging
from this the Commission sent out
viii not have much OF a reliable ma
ture to report OF the disposition Of the
inhabitants.
The attempt at Spain 10 reconquer
the Dominican republic during our
rebellion again raised the question OF
naval Station for our Government,
and when General Cabral became
President in 1856, he proposed, in or
der to raise money, to lease the Bay
ofSamana, Secretary Seward respond
ed by offering TO purchase the bay for
$1,000, 1000. The President was not
authorized to sell, and the negotiations
were broken OFF in 1887. A treaty was
afterwards concluded between Hayti
and San Domingo, in which it was
agreed that no cession Of territory
should be made to any power, and
President Cabral issued a proclama-
ton stating that he would not cede
the Bay Of Sanama to the United
States.
The need ofmoney, however. IN the
following November, pressed Cabral
into another proposal to lease Samana
and in December, he inimated that
necessity compelled'bim to a willing
ness to cede territory. In March fol-
lowing; (1s6s) a revolution overthrew
Cabrai, and made Baez President.
Baez, in few months, appealed to
the United States for aid and protec-
ton and proposed annexation, but
President Johnson was Indifferent to
the proposal.
In July, 1859, however, President
Grant sent General Babcock to San
Domingo to obtain Information con-
cerning the island and the disposition
Of the people. He returned with the
draft Of a treaty containing the terms
on which the Bsez government would
consent to annexation. Thus the
question Of annexation which is still
pending was reOpened. General Bah
cock and Mr.. Perry, our commercial
agent, negotiated a treaty for annexa-
ton afterwards, and, as an alternative
q convention for the lease of Samana.
The Senate, it VIII be remembered,
rejected the treaty.

o. o. the re.alt. Of the RepubIIeaE

One OF the results Of the Republican
ouarrel IN Missouri during the last
campaign is the election Of Frank
Blair TO the United States Senate.
This must be very numiliating 70 Re
pubIicans in that State, and was it
nota very grave matter we should say
it served them right for their foolish
ness.
There could not We been a more
objection mon Sc to the Senate.
Blair,s 3roadhead letter
which 81 -~ - lasI Democrat
&c nomination for Vice President is
still remembered, in which lie propos-
ed II he and Seymour were elected, 10
set the laws Of Congress aside. After
stating that Congress would continue
TO be Republican and that the Senate
could not be changed, he says "there
is but one way to restore the govern
ment and the constitution and that
was for the President elect 10 declare
the acts Of Congress null and void,
and to compel the army to undo its
usurpations." Then after talking
awhile OF the folly Of such issues as
the currency he adds: ave must re-
store the constitution before We can
restore the finances; and, 70 DO this
we must elect Preident who viii
execute The wiH Of the people By tramp
H,ag into aust The zsurpations Of Con-
grsss kno.cn as the reconstruction
0cts.n
Such was Frank Blair then. and
since that time, though he has been
virtually shelved, all his utterances
have been Of similar character. All
can see what such a course, il it was
possible to carry it out, would lead to.
Blair is a man Of ability, and possess
es a kind Of ability that makes him
formidable-he is smart, unscrupu-
Ious, bitter, selfish, and has untiring |
energy.
Perhaps he may have no opportuni-
ty to carry out his ideas. He should |
not have; bat It behOoves Republicans /
n every State to take warning by the |
bad example set by Missouri and not
indulge in party quarreles. Every such /
trouble counts against the party, and |
too many Of them VIII give men Of 4
Frank BIair's character and ideas an
opportunity to accomplish their ends.

The census of New York city, it is
well known, showed that the popula-
ton was many thousands less than
had been expected. The Democratic
papers and the Democratic politicians
simultaneously, cried out that for DO
litical reasons the ''radical" collectors
of names had understated the aggre.
gate. So persistent were they in their
charges that the President ordered the
work to be done over again, new dis
trictS being assigned to each of the
assistant marshals. The work has
not yet been completed, but as far as
the results are known they are not
very cOnsolatory to the Democracy.
The Tenth Ward has $40 less inhabi-
tants, according to the new returns,
than given it last summer; the Elev-
enth Ward loses 2,l03, and the Sew
teenth, 2,727. These large diminu-
tiOns are far from being made up by
the small gain of Sc in the Tenth
Ward. As far as the districts above
mentioned go, the New Workers would
have done much better by being con-
tented with Uncle SANS regular
work.

A State Convention Of colOred men
met in Columbus on the 18th. The
following propositions were adopted :
First-What we ask is that the Leg.

conventions called by the Republican
party.
