EXECUTIVE MANSION, Jan. IA.
Rev. Mr. StaTks:
DEAR SIR have given some consid-

ton OF colored people from Florida to
San Domingo. am not well informed
as to the advantages offered by San Do
mingo to emigrants, but my impression
is that your people should not be too
hssty in deciding to leave this country.
The mere difference in climate is seri-

which now affect you, are likely steadily,
and, l hope, rapidly to diminish. My
advice, therefore, is against the proposed

she understood that it was tor her sup

Gold Bugs In n Hole.
Jsy Gould is here 1T the negd OF
u endeavOr TO bull gold. 1t
appears that when the silver question was
.glt.ted IN Congress pool Oh New York
brokers WAS formed, in hopes that with
the prospects of the passage OF the silver
bill gold would certainly go up. This
pool invested heavily, and bought when
gold WAS over lO3. Many millions are
involved Tue pool carried its put
through the recess, and 1t turned ou: that
instead OF the silver agitation giving gold
4 buoysnt tendency, 1t really de-
pressed it, and the pool now finds
itself W In Al elephsnt on its hands. To
use slang phrase, Dad is under the
hay" and they want to get him out. The
pool hsd hoped that VOORHEES, would
make revolutionary speech on the SlI.
yer Bill which they could utilize 10
help them out; but they have sscer-
tanned that his argument Is not 10 be sc-
dressed 10 mems passions. but 10 their
honest bOrss-sense. Just Whist move the
bulls will make has not been developed,
but in their dep esson they are willing
10 do most anything 10 get out of the
hole.
