The resolution "a amended was soon hurried over
to the Senate, having been engrossed in advance Of
Its passage.
IN THE SENATE
1t was called up at once, and after some parey it
was agreed that the vote on 1t should be taken to-
morrow, OF four O'Clock. The policy Of the Domini.
cans IS to swallow the Amber amendment and pass
the resolution 1t came from the House, and thus
save time. Senator Sumner has
AN AMENDMENT PENDING,
instructing the com mssioners to inquire into the
pendency Of civil war the island, relations to
fayti and the claims against the government OF st.
Domingo. ne intends 70 OFFER several other amend
menfs tomorrow. Senators Morrill,, of Vermont;
Schurz Cassery and Others have elaborate speeches
prepared against the whole scheme, but they will
get no opportunity to deliver them. The opponents
OF the resolution In the Senate submitted to the
arrangement for
A VOTE TOMORROW,
because the majority of the Senate threatened them
with continuous a-night session, and they could
not stand this. The whole thing win be finished
tomorrow, and the commissioners all be on their
way In the Tennessee to ST. Domingo within few
days.
ZEN WADE TO BE ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS.
The President has not yet Indicated who the COM
mssioners VIII be, but one OF them already been
rendered and has accepted the appointment. This
is Old Ben Wade, ex-senator from Ohio and for
merry President OF the Senate. He had long inter-
view with the President to-day.
The ST. Domingo question was the principal topic
OF conversation during the interview. The Presi-
dent proposed to him thar he should be one of the
commissioners TO St. Domingo, and he promptly
accepted the appointment. Ben is considerably
elated at having been selected as one Of the
commissioners, for 1t affords him opportunity OF
following up his favorite theory Of '.manifest
destiny" He has always been in favor Of the pol.
icy Of annexation, and especially SO with reference
to the West Indies, which he believes must inevta-
bly, become part OF the United States. He is there
FORE In complete accord with the President with ref
erence to the present proposition to acquire the
Dominican secton OF ST. Domingo; but his
friends have already warned him to be-
ware OF those whom Senator Summer
calls 'political jockeys ana confederates,u
who have conspired sell their country at the ex-
pense Of the impending menace to the republic OF
Hayti, which he says the annexation Of Dominica
implies. Senator Sumner was informed tonight
that Wade nad been appointed. He Immediately in.
quired where Wade was to be found, and it is un.-
derstoed that his intention is to see him tomorrow
and give him few points about st. Domingo from
the sumner standpoint.

A few OF the ASSISTANT United States Marshals, re-

this city this morning Ton the purpose organizing
ana taking steps to memorialize Congress to In
crease their pay for services rendered After desig

Until! tomorrow, when larger representation ia ex-

In taking the census that their labor was exceed
Ingly Onerous, while their compensation was by no
means fair equivalent for the services rendered. and
that the average per diem the Assistant Narshels
throughout the United states WIN not exceed one

ST. 900 10 pay the first instalments OF the amounts
claimed by the census takers, It Is, nevertheless,
fact that that sum viii not begin to liqudate the
claims proposed TO be settled by the Superintendent

very doubtful whether Congress can be prevailed
upon to listen at this SESSION to The cry OF Justice
from the dissatisfied census takers.

The PERl.s OF BRAKEMEN.-The
great fatality amoug brakemen on
freight trains should suggest to railroad
companies the nece ssity Of placing safe
guards around this class OF employees.
Their situation is a very perilous one
at all times and especially during freez-
ing weather 1t matters no: how care
full they are-what precautions they
adopt to escape accidents-they are
never secure in their persons. They
are obliged to stand on the narrow
bumpers Of cars for hours, exposed to
penetrating blasts of wind and pitiless
sleet and SHOWS. \ slippery surface is
often formed on the bumpers, the limbs
Of the brakeman are benumbed, and
before lie has time TO think he often
loses his balance and is ground to pieces
by the train. Oi late many fatal acct
dents have fallen to the lot OF these rail-
road employees, nearly all Of which have
resulted from the perilous nature Of the
brakemans duties. Any relief in rail-
reading looking to the saving Of life is
worthy Of the most serious consldera-
ton, and the best way TO commence re-
form is to lessen the dangers besetting
the faithful sentinel at the brakes.
