CUBA-sAN DOMINGO.

Only three years ago all thc Democratic
and many OF the Republican newspapers were
filed with speculations upon San Domingo
and the probable policy Of tho President.
Tho spring before Mr.. Sumner and Mr..
schurz were denouncing the annexation
scheme In the Senate, and angry editors in
different parts Of the country were demand
ing impeachment. All that the President did
was 10 accept, so far as he could accept II, q
portion Of one of the richest islands In the
world; the possession Of which to-day would
be of incalculable advantage to us In mill
tary point Of view. But the air was filed
with calumny and SANDER; accusations Of the
gravest character were brought against seme
Of the highest officers In the Government,
until finally the President In seli-dcfcncc was
compelled to request Congress 10 appoint
commission to visit the island, investigate
the charges made and report the result Of
their observations. When that commits
sion returned they presented q report
sustaining In every respect tho posi-
tlon Of tho Executive, and which he
transmitted TO Congress with the memorable
words: "And now my task Is finished, and
with 1t ends oil personal solicitudc upon tho
subject. My duty done, yours begins; and /
gladly hand over tho whole matter to tho
judgment Of the American people and Of
their representatives In Congress assembled.
The facts will now be spread before the
country, and decision rendered by that
tribunal, whose convictions so seldom err,
ind against whose will l have no policy TO
enforce. My opinion remains unchanged;
indeed, 1t is confirmed by the report that the
interests OF our sountry and Of San Domingo
alike invite the annexation Of that Republic"
But partisan passion still ruled the hour.
The cry was raised that we wanted no insu-
lar possessions; that San Domingo would be
dear at any price, and that we should not
touch II. To show the change that has come
over the country since then II Is only neces-
sary to read any issue Of any newspaper, Re-
publican or Democratic, from Maine to Louis
lana; the speeches Of the Statesmen" who
were SO loud and fierce short three years
since. Upon every side the cry goes up for
instant and Immediate war upon Cuba, and
the Administration is all but censured be-
cause, in defiance Of the Constitution and Of
law, the President does not send fleet OF
iron-clads and IN army to take immediate
possession OF the Island and make II part and
parcel of the United States. The policy and
the judgment Of the President are at last ap-
proved by the very men and by the very
presses who der'ded and denounced him less
than thirty-six months ago.

ceipt Of unlawful perquisites, officers sala-
ries have been fairly doubled. in a great
many eases. Customs which have the war
rant OF years to sustain them, but which
have IN all these years grown and increased
now amount to most scandalous abuse
With public officials in Washington the
rules of fair dealing which are acknowl-
edged in private life do not seem to obtain.
and, when public property can be appro-
priated to private use without incurring
the danger OF prosecution for criminal
ofense, it has been and is so appropriated
although there can be no sort of excuse
for the
save that the tempting opportunity pre-
sented itself. This appears to be the case
with all officers Of the Government and the
irst-class clerk in the Department. or the
committee-clerk in the House or Senate
enjoys these perquisites IN that proportion
to which his rank and pay entitle him, un-
der a loose code, that teaches that crib
blng from the Treasury is not only permis-
sible, but advisable Staunch supporters
of the Administration who have hitherto
been aware Of these things, without, per
haps, fully approaching them, are now
awakened to a realization of the condition
which it must reach if the evil is not
checked soon; and the threatened inyesti-
cations into these petty pilferings will GER
tainly be as thorough and scathing as ever
was made into doubtful transactions where
Congressman have been implicated. The
developments of such an investigation will
go far to show how the deterioration in
morals is accomplished through petty pee
ulations under color of law. but really and
indefensibly dishonest in spirit.
There is no doubt but that the evil COM
planned of has greatly increased under the
Administration of Gen. Grant, for that
Administration has been, more than any
thing else, like the managing of an army
in the field, where the fancy and wishes of
the General commanding and his staff off
GERS is law; but these peculations did not
begin, all of them, with the present Ad-
iministration. They will doubtless be shown
to go back great many years.
