There are various and conflicting rumors
OF intrigues between Bismarck and Bonapa1te
TO restore the Empire in France, but none Of
them have received confirmation, and oil have
met with repeated denial at Versailles and
Chiselhurst. Bismarck will not be likely to

of france until he sees where the Constituent
Assembly and the Republic viii lead her.

The san Domingo CommIssi ON.

The war steamer Tennessee. which con
veyed the three Commiss toner's. Wade. White
aud Howe, to San Domingo, reached Charles
ton harbor on her return trip On last Sun
day, when the Commissioners aud portion
Of the party that accompanied them left the
vessel and proceeded by railroad to Wash
iugton, arriving at that place on Monday
evening. 1t was expected that their report
would be ready to be delivered to the Presi
dent on yesterday. 1t is understood at
Washington that the report i'll be simply
confined to statement of facts. and that
il will! not recommend the annexation Of
Dominica. 1t is further stated that Grant
does not desire the question to be brought
before the present Congress for its action,
but will recommend that the report be
printed, so that it may thus be laid before
the people Of the whole country for exami-
nation and reflection. When one reflects
upon the extreme anxiety manifested by
Grant to hurry off in hot haste this expedi-
ton, 30 that the Commissioners might return
during the session of the last Congress and
make their report, and the whole job be
thus contaminated, he will readily perceive
that Grant has been deeply impressed by
public opinion in opposition to this corrupt
and plundering scheme. The postponement
of any action 1pon it by Congress until next
December, sounds its eternal death knell.-
1t may therefore be regarded as substantial
ly defeated. No petition was ever presen ted
to Congress asking tie annexation Of San
Domingo. aud to-day there is not respscta-
ble Republican newspaper in the country
that endorses it; but on the contrary, with
great sccord the leading Radical papers
unanimously object to and condemn il. The
New York Post one of the ablest ard most
influential Republican papers in the United
States, in a recent article warns Grant to
stop, and expresses the belief that his con-
duet in attempting to accomplish the pos
session Of that part Of the island over which
Grants friend Basz now rules, has been so
outrageous ard against all precedent, that
if he (Grant) were impeached and tried by
the Senate, it is difficult to see how he could
possibly escape conviction. 1t is very sure
that the high crimes and misdemsanors al.
legged against Andrew johnson, aRd for
which he was impeached. were "trifles light
air" when compared to the unwarranted
and unlawful means which have been resort
ed to by Grant to consun mate this infamous
scheme which he and those who control b i'm
il his actions have had SO deeply at hsart.

The New License or Local OPP
tiOn Law,

We informed our readers about three
weeks ago that the bill, well known during
the last session as the Local Option Law"
and equally as we'll known during the pres
eat session by the same title. had passed the
House of Representatives. The bill of course
was sent to tbs Senate, and was referred to
in the hands of that committee, without any
definite action being taken upon it, either
favorably or adversely, until a week ago.
when Mr.. Osterhout. Radical Senator,
made motion to discharge the committee
from it's further consideration and proceed to
act on it. The motion Of Mr.. Osterhout was
defeated by Seuenteen Democratic Senators
voting against it, and while sirteen Radical
Senator'S. always as an inevitable, foIegone
conclusion, voted for it.
We have said more than once in this pa
per THAI we are opposed to all such h0tf and
half kind of legislation. 1t is all wrong and
utterly worthless. It will never effect the
good intentions which the honest friends Of
the temperance cause have in view Wheth-
or the refusal of the Senate to agree to the
motion made by Mr.. OStsrhout indicates the
ultimate defeat Of the bill, it is. impossible to
say, but our opinion is that a Democratic
Senate ought never to permit it to become
law

On last Monday. Charles Sumner deliv-
cred another tremendous broadside iu the
Senate against the acquisition of San Do
mingo. 1t is said to be an able. powerful
and convincing argument against that most
insane project in all its aspects. and to have
been delivered to one Of the largest and most
brilliant audiences that has filed the Senate
chamber for many years. Although we
have DO; yet read it, we understand that it
exposes and lays bare the connection of
Grant. Fish. tho Secretary Of State, and
Robeson. Secretary OF the Navy, with the
scheme, in the boldest. most scathing and
Homeasured terTas. The speech is entirely
too long for pablioation in the Freeman. but

AN UNNATERAL FATHER. latest
thing out is the elopemeDt of Philadelphia
gentleman with his sons wife. The case oc-
CURED in Allegheny few evenings ago. and
if reported correctly, is as cool a piece of di-
aboism as one can Snd now w-a-days. even
when we are not surprised by toleraSly bad
transactions. The story runs that the son.
al energetic young man. recently married
and settled in Allegheny. His wife was
handsome. and on visit to the young couple,
the old gentleman was so enchanted by her
that he planned an elopement. to which she
assented. The father returned few days
ago. and on going home to supper May and
December told the tale of their loves and
daclared their intention of going off together
The son Of course was thunder struck and
went ont to seek means for the prevention
of the design. When he returned the old
man and young lady had gone. It was af-
forwards discovered that the father had dis

The PeriEs Of CirCumsta initial
Evidence.

A remarkable case, showing the danger OF
trusting too implicitly to circumstantial evil
deuce. has lust been concluded IN Ioledo--
Nearly three years ago Robert Sharp was
found dead with shot aud slugs in his brain.
man named Harrington, who had been on
intimate terms with the deceased. was ar
rested for the murder. The testimony was
wholly circumstantial. but SO skiiluiiy
worked up" by the detectives, that Har-
rington was convicted and seEit to the peni-
tentiary. His lawyers had become inter
ested in the case, and. although Harrington
was a poor man. they determined 10 nSht
his cause TO the end. After long ana
arduous struggle through the District and
Stpreme Courts, Order tor ne"
trial was obtained, and that trial has just
closed.
The main points in the evidence on which
he was convicted were the apparent cores
ponGence of the shot in the body of the dead
with that in the shot-bag belonging to Har>
rington the correspondence of pieces OF
newspaper found near the scene OF the sup
posed murder, and assumed to be part CT
the gun wadding, with torn piece In Har-
rIpgton's residence and piece in his vest
pocket aud the motive for the murder was
to be found in the alleged fact Of Sharp hav-
ing come to Toledo with several hundred
dollars of money, which Harrington knew,
and that no one else was SO intimate with
Sharp.
On the second trial 1t was rendered doubt
fol whether there vas a similarity In the
shot. 1t was clearly proven that the pieces
of paper alleged to have been picked up at
the scene Of the murder were not there at
the finding of tho body, nor for day or
/ two afterward. and the inference was una
voiGabIe that they were put there by the
detectives to aid them in working up" the
case against Harrington. 1t was further
proven that Sharp was destitute when ne
arrived in Toledo. anti that Harrington was
doing his best to aid him in procuring en-
pIoyment. To crown all, an slibi was clear
I " and successfully proven. Harrington
was declared innocent, and the jury Tolun-
tarily gave him a letter. signed by every
member, repeating in emphatic terms, thelr
/ belief of his entire innocence of any knowi
edge of the supposed murder, and bearing
/ testimony to bis uniform good chara cter.-
/ The public favor unanimously conceded
| with the verdict. The former employer OF
! Harrin gton Immediately took him back into
/ his service.
/ IL causes an unpleasant shudder to reflect
/ that perfectly innocent man, OF good char
/ acter, suffered two years of degrading pun
! isbment, and narrowly escaped an lguomln>
( ious death. for a crime OF which he kne"
nothing. 1t is another warning of the dan
ger of implicit trust in wholly circumstantia
/ evidence and protest against the detectives
( in working up a case' against one they
choose to suspect.-Cleceland Herald.

SOMEBODY having suggested Mr.. Sumner
as the Democratic Presidential candidate,
the New York Star thas comments upon
the suggestion /:
"A greater ignorance never existed. The
party that furnished Presidents for a half
century has plenty more excellent material
on hand ; and, if the Republicans themselves
do not conc EIDE that the Democrats ear pro-
vide a8 unlimited namber OF men with bet
ter capacities for President than the present
incumbent. then it is about time to shnt mp
this Republic and send abroad. after the
manner of Spain. for some one to rule over
us. The Democrats propose TO go into The
next campaign with a Democrat to carry
their coloTs. The issue will be fully and
squarely made !; and, If they DO not succeed.
it is because no reliance can be placed in the
signs Of the times OF the sober sense Of the
American people"

that the movement would deyelope into a
national one before long. All present favor
