Sursn1.cs Regarding the Eusurc ac-
tton OF the New Nation.
SDecial Despatch to The Chicago Tribune
New YoRk,Jan. 18.-The full text OF the SANS
Ia purchase convention confirms the feet that the
Company has obtained absolute sovereignty over
tho peninsula, with its inhabitants and private
interests. Tho sovereignty conceded to the
Company is greater than that Of the State OF Nc"
York, OF any other State in the Union, for 1t IN
cludes the right to levy and collect custom
duties, and to do many other things
which can only be done BY sovereign
nation. Baez not only sells them
tl.ose extraordinary privileges, but he sells them
the flag OF tho Republic OF st. Domingo to use
as they may see proper. Besides oil thus, the
Company can build railroads and telegraphs Ii
any part Of the island, obtaining grants as ex-
t1aordinary na those accorded to the Union
Pacific and ether railroads when Congress was
giving away tho public domain Every league
OF railroad constructed by the Compsny brings
its square league OF land, and every three
leagues of telegraph, q square league grant.
Tho Company promised Bacz to Use oil their
influence with Congress to bring Dominican
products into tho ports Of tho United States,
FREQ Of duty, which would be singular d!scf1m-
nation against other tropical countries.
4 most extraordinary feature Of tho treaty Is
that il f1oes the men composing the Company
from tho operation Of our Register and Naviea-
ton laws Under the acts Of Congress, Amori-
can merchants cannot buy ships abroad. This
Company, though composed mostly Of Ameri.
cans, can buy ehipa where it can buy thel
cheapest, for it has bought flag undcr which
| to run them.
Tho Herald saya on this head: " A few Judi
cious alliances With American railway monopo-
| lies would make the Company Us powerful in tho
| United States as in St. domingo, and IN tl1o emit
it might rule us as effectunly as our tao-coloreo
| brethren in the West Indies."

desire. There would have been no Ishnnael-
ties to have their hands against every man,
and no Israelites in the banking and clothing
business afterwards. Notwithstanding all
these things, we feel that the landlord is in
the wrong. He was, we believe, baby once
himself and had mother, who probably
went house-hunting with half a dozen little
darlings at her apron strings. He should
consider the difficulty of carrying out any OF
the propositions for his relief that we have
discussed, and consent to take his share in the
common glory of the young olive branches on
which the nation hangs its hopes. We
were about to add. he may be a
baby yet himself; but this is obviously
unlikely. If he is not yet father we
may presume that his offspring, if he ever has
any, will come into the world much like the
little ones against whom, in such vulgar
majesty, he closes his door

THE RIOT IN FRANKFORT ATTENDED WITH
FATAL RESULTS. The German riot in Frank
fort-on-the-M Main eliminated in very damag
ing and fatal results. The movement against
the brewers was caused by an advance in the
price of beer. It was conducted with de-
gree Of animation which rendered necessary
retaliatory measures, by command Of the au-
thorities, for the preservation of the peace
and of property. The military were assailed-
in the streets. Sixteen breweries were wrecked.
Plundering followed to great extent. The
soldiers acted with rigor. Twelve persons
were killed and forty wounded, and one hum
bred and twenty rioters were arrested. Very
melancholy effects from small advance in
the price Of a popular beverage, but it may
be that other causes of excitement were pres
ent in the municipality.

technicality having no more reference to the
guilt or innocence of Stokes than to the
dogma of the Trinity. Az this man has
wealthy relatives, it appears there is no rem
edy for the scandal of the outrageous prolong-
ing Of these purely irrelevant contests. While
the money lasts lawyers will be found ready
to use every expedient the law allows for
delay Of the execution Of the righteous SEN
tence pronounced against the convicted muir
derer. There was never any question whether
Fisk was killed by the prisoner. All the trial
decided was that murderer with wealth
could be convicted of his crime in the city Of
New York It's event demonstrated that ths
law has even yet some life, and that it is still
possible to obtain jury panel faithful to
their oath Till the execution of Foster it was
believed that an amount of pressure could DO
brought upon the Chief Executive of the State
by wealth and responsibility which could not
be resisted that in effect the death penalty
could always be set aside by the free use Of
money and influence. That delusion exists no
more Law still has it's terrors to restrain
reckless vice and shield life from violence.
This monstrous tenacity of the Stokes defence
should induce change in the law Of murder
trials which should make such causeless delay
Of justice impossible. Swift conviction and
sure punishment best deter crime and make
criminal law valuable in protecting the COM
munity.
