At Walnut Hills lives a carpen-

clutched him hy the throat, while

GEN. nARRIsoN's TOMB.

Several days since, the Legisla-
ture of our State appointed Com.
mittee, to 90 to North Bend and
examine the tomb Of ex President
VIM. H. Harri son, with view to
making Improvements on the
grounds. The committee have
viewed the burial place, and on
Saturday last, the following report
was made:
Mr.. Yeatman, from The joint
committee appointed to visit the
tomb of General William Henry
Harrison at North Bend, reported
that the committee had performed
that duty, and bad been kindly re
ceived by the citizens and Hon.
j. Scott Harrison, the only sur
viving son of the General, who is
the owner in fee simple of the lands
on which remains Of his father now
rest; and the committee received
his assurance that, in case the
State Of Ohio should make an ap-
preparation for honoring and pro-
tecting the tomb, he would cede
to the State the land embracing the
tomb, being nearly three acres.
The committee also report that
the tomb is on beautiful eminence
on the banks ofthe Ohio command
ing a view for miles Of the liver
and railroad, and that the grounds
and tomb are now in neglected
condition, and unless protection
is given to them soon, it will evince
q great want OF respect for the
memory Of one of Ohio's first
pioneers and greatest benefactors,
and the first President from the
great Northwest, The committee
earnestly recommend an .auL TO.
priation Of ten thousand dollars
for the purpose Of inclosing the
grounds, repairing the tomb, and
erecting thereon a suitable monu-
ment. The report was referred to
the Finance Committee.

BANIsH THE coNvIcTs.

That excellent paper, Hearth q
Home, recommends that a certain
class of criminals in the United
States be banished to Alaska, OF
perhaps TO San Domingo, should
that God forsaken island be tackled
on to the States. The Home talks
in this wise about it:
"The community would breathe
purer atmosphere If several thou

while the project offers an opportu-
nifty of populating territory which
otherwise is not likely everto have
a considerable number Of inhahi-
tants. The prisons and penitentin-

SAN DIMINGoO CRY, Feb. 3.--The
Commission arrived from Samana
Bay Yesterday. Every one con
nel ted with the party is in excel
lent health. Want Of coaling ia
eilities detained the ship six days
at Samana. The Commission found
the inhabitants of the peninsula
very generally in favor Of annexa-
ton. A full investigation was
made into the ownership of the
land around the harbor, and show
ed that no United States official is
involvedS in any private transac-
tions whatever. Faheus and his
associates, and O'Sullivan, have
perpetual lease at a nominal price
Of nearly all of the available water
front for large vessels around the
harbor of SANTANA. There is no
valuable mineral in that section.
The Commission landed here this
morning, and was formally receiv-
ed by Baez.
Mr., Wade explained the charac-
ter and object, when Baez and his
Cabinet gave a cordial welcome.-
President Baez SAID that peace and
stable government would follow a
union with the United States; the
people were all anxious for the
union; Cabral had no Dominicans
with him; the commanders of the
force. he was supposed to command
were Hay items, and Hayti was the
real mover in the whole matter; he
had information that an incursiOn
was to be made while the Commits
sion was here, to influence them,
and from his agents had learned
the whole movement, He ex-
pressed the hope that the Commis-
sioners would examine all classes.

The National Assembly has
chosen Thiers for Executive. by the
title Of Chief Of the Executive
Power Of the Republic OF France,
with power to choose his Council.
This creation Of an executive is an
important step in the organization
of a government competent to act
in this great emergency when the
nation8s compelled to compromise
with a conqueror for its diminished
existence, and is forced to consent
to Che transfer Of great provinces
md unwilling Inhabitants to the
dominion Of Prussia.
Itis supposed that the result Of
the elections indicates the restora.
tion of a monarchy, and that the
majority favors the Orleans family.
The choice of rhiers is also regard
ed as a step in the way of this
Orleans restoration, which, if car
ried out, will be in the person Of
the Count OF Paris, the grandson Of
Louis Philippe
The North German Gazette, of
Berlin, promptly speaks out on the
choice Of Theirs, and accepts it as
imply ing the renewal of monarchy
in France, and as a preventive Of
the reconciliation with Germany,
the Orleanists, it says, being sworn
enemies Of Germany. But this
sounds wild. 1t is not likely that
the Orleanists have been swearing
enmity TO Germany, nor do re-
sponsibIe rulers indulge in personal
enmities coward nations, nor can
Germany expect any loving recon
ciliatlDn from any Frenchman.
Prussia is not trusting to their
love, nor invoking it, but is exer-
cising the power OF conqueror,
and is sowing the seed Of hates
tor generations.
All statements of the Prussian
terms are speculative, 1t is gen
orally accepted that they begin with
great cessions Of territory and fort
resscs. ThisS was conveyed by
Bismarck long ago when Favre
tried to learn his terms He de
ma ded recognit Oh Of the prin-
clple OF cession ol territory, but re-
fused to say how much the demand
was. There are statements that
the money contribution to he de-
manded is much less than has been
before reported. The deputies
from Alsace and Lorraine presented
a protest against their separation
from France, and Ihiers insisted
on the present consideration OF
that question by the Assembly, and
that the Assembly should assume
the responsibility OF this the most
question of the peace ne
gotations. The sitting wac. Gus.
pended on Saturday while this sub
ject was under consideration.
The English, Austrian and Ital
ian ambassadors promptly recong
nized Thiers as 1.-The head of the
Of Fraace.
The bitter cup is presented to the
National Assembly OF conaenting
to the separation Of great provin.
ces, with inhabitants of strong
attachments to France,
and n hitter hatred of Prussia
But if the money contributions
shall not be so great as to make
France perpetually tributary to
Prussia, it is probable that the Ma
tional Assembly will submit to the
hard necessity The appearances
all tend toward peace and restora
tion Of the monarchy. This will

AKA aASA aSNHt4 tf-aeeANAat
Under this heading the Cincin-
natl Times, in one ofits issues last
week. notices the billA introduced
into the House Of Representatives
By the Hon. Mr.. Little Of Greene
county, for the purpose of recov-
ering money paid out by person
to.a person who has sold intoxi-
eating liquor in Oiolation Of law
The Times figures up the amount
as follows: "a man who has sold
Intoxicating liquor in vjoldtion of
law to his neighbor for a year at
thirty cents day, would have to
pay back to the family of the man
who had bought this liquor so sold
in Uiolation of law at the end of
ten months, 80 cents a day, $3.50 a
a week, and $72 in ten months. -
The Times thus draws this a picture
of the case under such a law: "Let
the imbiber now conclude that the
liquor-seller is q foe tohis family and
to the community, have his wife
bring suit against the foe, go into
court himself and testify to the
number Of drinks he has had and
the amount Of money he has paid,
and Mr.. LIS bill provides for Civ
ing Judgment to the wife for the
whole amount with costs. We
need not inquire whether or not
this bill comes within the scope of
the constitutional prohibition of
laws impalring the obligation of
contracts; for it is not likely there
are enough red.hot temperance
men in the legislature to join Mr.
L. in facing the music of their hq-
uor-selling and liquor-drinking
constituents with such a rampant
law as that" Well, that picture
does look hard for the poor rum.

the penalty of Mr.. Little's bill,
should it pass2 Why nobody but

no recovery could be made for
sales made prior TO the passage of
the proposed law, but for those
that may be made after the passage
of this law, suit may he com

made. Now, il the writer of the
article referred to in the Times wish
es to sell Intoxicating liquors IN

class of gentlemen who do not
propose to be law.abiding citizens
are the only class Of gentlemen
who need to fear the penalties of
Mr. Little's RED HoT TENpERANcEl
Law; and it is expected that that
class cf gentlemen will oppose the
bill. We are not afraid of its pen
altics.
