Good Sense ON Santo Domingo.

1t is curious and interesting to see
how the San Domingo affair tends to a
decision on a collateral issue. The
main question is and always has been
whether the annexation would not
prove advantageous to the United
States. On this point there is hardly
any difficulty in putting the authors of
the scheme to open confusion. But
Mr. Sumner raised a fearful hullabaloo
in the Senate about the trightful wrong,
fraud, outrage, and cruelty the annexa-
ton would prove to the black man, and
on this ground they are delightedssto
close with him and all other opponents.
The interest OF Americans in the mat.
ter has been quietly pushed aside as
something subordinate, and the question
which is now being debated with most
interest is whether the Dominicans
would like to be annexed. It's to this
the commissioners have been first direct
ing their inquiries, and they have, OF
course, not the least difficulty in finding
thousands of Dominicans who declare
that there is nothing they would like
better; and the New York Tribune
swears before high heaven that if they
don't want to be annexed, they shan t
be annexed. Mr.. Wade says the same
thing, and so do all the correspondents
so that the public is being gradually
worked into the belief that this is the
only point on which its mind is to be
satisfied, and that if the Dominicans
say they would as lief be American
citizens as not, there is nothing for it
but TO naturalize them.
The point to which the attention OF
most intelligent men, however, will still
continue TO be directed, is the probable
effect on American politics OF the adj
mission of such a State as Dominica
must prove. On this point the cor
respondents-Inany OF them unwilling
ly-furnishs most useful information.
Their accounts agree in making it plain
as possible that republican government
in the hands OF such community as
they describe would be q wretched
farce, and that the political machinery
would inevitably be worked by white
sharpers and spectators from the north

GOVERNOR JACOB AND THE con.
yENTION.

In view Of the fact that tie MtsW-
qencer has derived so little satisfaction
from anything that has occurred in
public affairs here for some time past,
it was perhaps cruel in us to say that
Governor JACOB is in favor Of the hold
ing Of Constitutional Convention. Our
neighbor had built up so elaborate a
theory and spun out so complacent an
argument to convince himself to the
contrary, and had taken such unusual
(for him) pains to obtain an early copy
of the Inaugural Address, and had so
efFectually annihilated "the Conven-
TONERS" by flaming headlines and en-
thusiastic comments, that it really was
pity to deprive him Of the crumb OF
comfort he imagined he had found
But the truth compelled us to protest
against any violence being done
to the language of the ad-
dress and the well known senti-
ments of the Governor, and in the
discharge Of plain but painful duty
to take from the IntelEgencer even the
frail straw which it had clutched to
save itself from the depths of despair.
We did not think, however, that the
agony would be protracted so long, or
that such frantic founderings would en-
sue as spread themselves over a whole
column of the Intelli9encer yesterday
morning. Our neighbor should have
been content to die decently, and spare
us this painful exhibition. He should
have refrained from galvanizing his de-
funct theory concerning Governor
JACOBS opinion Of a Convention, and,
although it was his last and darling
hope, folded the cerements about it with
whatever calmness be could command,
and put j. in its little bed" 1t needed
no post r.ortsm examination; it was not
necessary that it revisit the pale
glimpses of the MOON" 1t was COM
pletely done gone dead, and should have
been put out of sight at once.
There is one thing which we should
have said the other day concerning the
Inaugural Address and which the In
telHgencers persistency in clinglng to
a foolish and utterly unfounded notion
gives us an opportunity Of saying now
Governor JACOB is gentleman-every
inch. He will be the Governor Of the
whole people, and not merely Of party.
He win insult nobody for differing with
him in political opinion and will perse-
cute no body for opinions sake. His
personal opinions will not be permitted
to interfere with the discharge OF his
official duty, and he will faithfully exc
cute the law. He IL, personally IN
favor OF a Constitutional Conven-

THE LtelIgsneers anxiety for the
welfare and continued success OF the
Democratic party in this State is won
derful and past all understanding. 1t
gravely fears that Constitutional Con-
vention would produce a reaction
and bring the discarded Radical politi-
clans to the surface again. Angels
and ministers of Grace defend us from
such dire calamity. If the inteltigen-
Ger can only succeed in convincing the
people that such a disastrous conse-
quence will inevitably follow the hold
ing of q Constitutional Convention, it
will have made ten strike indeed.
But it is more than likely that the PEG.
pie OF the State will wish to derive
their information upon the subject from
"a more authentic source than from
the MtelHgencer.

Hopeful Increase OF Darkies In Con
gress.

Five new darby representatives were
sworn in in the House of Representa-
tives on Saturday. These are about
the only evidences Of sound reconstruc-
ton that the Radicals can confidently
point to at present. Legislatures will
change, State majorities will turn from
Repu slican to Democratic, Governors
in office will go hack" on the party
that elected them, and even Senators
who have had the oath toned down to
suit their circumstances will display
alarming conservatism; but the darkv
must stay black, and the mulatto must
remain colored forever, despite the ma
lign influence Of Democracy. 1t is a
great consolation to know that after FIVE
years Of hard. work at reconstruction
there are such Interchangeable and indis-
putable evidences Of the grand mission
and grand success Of the Republican
party.-Nac York Herald. Q
