Dominican Republic, was submitted vote
of the whole people, and the Commissioners
have no doubt of the result. They say;
The voting was in progress when we lett,
on the 9th inst. and from the assurances
given us by the citizens of all classes at the
various ports and places visited by us, we
feel confident that the popular vote Will oe
nearly or quite unanimous in ratification,
and that the convention will thus be made
part of the fundamental and immutable law
Of the Republic.
The Commissioners add:
II NAV not be out Of place to add that We
received from the leading foreign merchants
on the island aud from many of the Consular
representatives of European Powers, ex-
pressions of their good will and best wishes
| for YOUR undertaking and that nearly
every enterprising man of business we met
assured Us that the free port and city OF
| SANTANA can be very soon furnished large
and busy population from the English,
| Danish, Dutch. French and Spanish West
Indies, independent of such immigration
as may be made from the United States.
The result ofthis business, if the purposes
and anticipations Of the Company are rea-
| lied to any considerable extent, is plain.
A company Of smart Yankees, with plenty
of money in their treasury, securing such a
| foot-hold as this convention gives them on
the island, will soon control it. Their in
Auence over President Baez and his cabinet
is already. it would seem, little short Of su-
| preme. They will soon run his government

trouble; and we do not see why every
material result Of annexation, except the
presence of Dominican delegate or repre-
sentatiyes in oar Congress- may not be
secured. without the payment fanny seven
millions or the assumption Of the debt Of
San Domingo, by our country.
There Is. of course, another possible con-
tingency-a rising of the people Of San
Domingo, grown FESTIVE under foreign con-
troll. against the American Company
What then? The New York Times aptly
| foreshadows the result: That was the way
in which the East India Company dragged
| the British Government into its wars-and
the SANTANA Bay Company may do the same
thing, at more or less remote period, with
our own Government What help Is there
for it? Can the United States Government
say to these merchants, You shall not buy
SANTANA Bay? Clearly not. The Govern
ment may indeed say, if You do luy it, re-
member that it i at your own risk and
! re~1 and We will give Won ~ protection.
But the contingency may arise when II
would be impossible for the Government to
refuse its protection-when American men
and women were being robbed or mastered
and then the Government would be driven
to interfere whether it liked OF not, and il
would annex the whole of san Domingo
just As the British annexed the Empire o.
the Moguls.'

fax's property. Mr.. Colfax had never paid
back the 81 200 Mr. Colfax cross-exam-
ined Mr.. Ames at some length, but Mr..
Ames could not be induced to modify his
statement in any essential particular. Mr..
Coifax declared to the committee that he
did not remember ever having received one
dollar from Mr.. Ames, and he hoped to be
able TO prove that fact. He thought there
was mistake in the statement of Mr.. Ames.
To the question of Mr.. Poland's, What
about Mr.. Blaine ?" Mr. Ames replied that
Mr.. Blaine never held any stock or got any
advantage from the Credit Mobilier, except
abuse on its account. Mr. Garfield agreed
to take ten shares of the stock, and the
first two dividends paid for the shares and
left balance of 1929, which Mr.. Ames
said lie paid him in June, 1865. There
were no more payments, and no converse
ton about the affair till this winter, when
Mr.. Garfield told him that he thought it
was lean and not dividend he got. Mr..
Ames's recollection was positive it was
dividend, and he supposed Mr.. Garfield 50
understood it when he took the check.

The rrauaing Privilege Abolished.

The House has promptly concurred in the
Senate's action on the franking privilege,
and that venerable institution, dating back
to George Washington's first presidency
will expire on the LIST of July. Forty-eight
members only voted to retain the privilege,
and one hundred aud forty-three, or many
more than two-thirds, to dispense entirely
with it. Nearly all the members whose
terms expire on the 4th of next March voted
for the repeal. All the New England mem
bers voting, except Messrs. Hoar and Smith,
voted for the repeal. The bill now only
needs the signature Of the President to be-
come law, and members are already pre-
dieting that the public will demand within
a year the restoration of the privilege in
order that they may enjoy freer eommuniea-
ton with their representatives.

Washington specials say that's an examIna-
ton of the votes Of those members Of the
House who took Credit Mobiler stock from
Cakes Ames make complete answer to the
charge that it Influenced their course in re
gard to legislation pertaining to the road.
Each one Of them, except James Brooks,
voted for the act instructing the Attorney
General TO inquire whether both the Central
and Union Pacific roads had not forfeited
their franchises. and directing the withhold
ing of bonds until the matter was decided.
Mr. Brooks opposed that part Of the bill
which was supposed 20 be in the special
interest of the road in set speech. Mr..
Wilson Of Iowa was the author Of the clause
securing the governments lien on the in
terest due. Mr. Boutwell, forced the col
lection of the interest, and caused Okes
Ames to fail for large sum. Mr.. Bingham
called up the most stringent bill to protect
the interest Of the road passed since the
legislation of 1866, and advocated it, and it
was this that all voted for when the bill
overruling Mr.. Boutwell's order for collec-
ing the interest came up in the House.
None of the gentlemen on the McComb list
took part in its passage, and Messrs. Dawes
and Allison were absent on conference COM
mittees when it was agreed to. The story
in circulation that Mr. Colfax ruled out the
resolution of Mr.. Washhurne of Wisconsin.
fixing freight rates on these roads is shown
by the Globe to be unfounded. By nearly
common consent the charge that these
gentlemen were controlled in their legisla-
tive duties by stock sold them by Ames has
been abandoned here, while the fact that all
except Mr.. Blaine took some of the stock
and received dividends is held to be fully es-
tablished.

The Report of the Commissioners who
negotiated the recent purchase of SANTANA
Bay is published, and shows that the con-
cessions granted to the SANTANA company, by
the government Of san Domingo, are most
extraordinary. The &c convention :" or
e treaty - the Commissioners use both
/ terms in describing the document-drawn
up between the contracting parties, con-
tains provisions, which in the language Of
the Report
Give the company exclusive jurisdiction
for its officers and tribunals executive, legis-
lative, and judicial, in the Peninsula Of
SANTANA, and over the waters, Islands, and
reefs of the bay; and enable it to impose
and collect its own duties. taxes, port
charges, etc. for its own use, wlthom anu
control or interference irhdteUer b. the DOmin-
loaa or any other !g0uernmenf. They secure
traffic between SANTANA and any point in the
Republic against imposition of any discrim-
mating imposts whatever, and entitle it to
q deduction of fifteen per cent. Of import
duties exacted from trade with any of the
neighboring ports-two advantages which
must send every merchant on the island
to SANTANA to buy his goods, instead of to
81 luulnds anu OuIdcOd, WHICH nave mere
toiore been the entrepOts of the West Indies
They extort many other unusual conces-
sions, almost any one of which would be the
fortune ofany ordinary company-and final
ly, by exemptirg the business of the Com.
pany from imposts, taxes, assessments, and
charges of every kind, they enable the Com
pany, through its own commercial agencies,
established throughout the Republic to car
~ on, if You choose, the entire commerce Of
a country which has nearly million of dol
lars gold revenue from its custom house and
can be developed, in time. to proportions
many times larger
The concession of the right to have any
of your vessels fly any flag you choose, and
yet to be registered and treated as Domin-
lean vessels in the coasting and other trade.
gives us, OF course, all the carrying trade of
the Republic, and the right of all your
steamers which may carry freights between
SANTANA and any other port of the Republic
TO participate in the privilege at present &C.
corded to the Tybee by the terms of which
the proprietors of that steamer eniov
drawback of fifteen per cent. upon all the
import and export duties on her rargoes, is
OF course, OF immense immediate and still
greater prospective value.

the most momentous enterprises of modern
civilization.
