SAN DOMINGO COMMISSION.

SPECIAL TO THE WESTERN PRESS.

SAMANA BAY,

February

23,1871.—The

United States steamer Nantasket has arrived here from- Santo Domingo City, bringing news five days later than that brought by the Tybee. On the 18th Commissioner Andrew D. White left Santo Domingo City on an overland trip to Puerto Plato. At the latter place he will taken on board the Nantasket, and proceed to Port-Au-Prince, the capital of Elayti, where by previous arrangement he will have an" interview with Gen. Jose Cabral, former President of Dominica, and now leader of the forces opposed to Baez. White is accompanied by Sam'l Hazard, Jr., of Philadelphia, and Blackwell, of Newark, N. J.

Much excitement has ieen caused in Santo Domingo City, by an official announcement that the inhabitants of Barri and San Christoral had pulled down the Dominician colors, and raised the American flag. Commissioner Samuel G. Howe has gone to Barto investigate the matter.

A revolutionary force composed of adherents qf ex-President Salnave, were about marching agairilt Hayti, with the object of overthrowing Sagel, the President, and placing Leconte at the head of the government. Leconte, accompanied by Major C. G. Megrue, of Cincinnati, had visited the Commission. The Nantasket yesterday duly honored Washington, and to-day sails for Puerto Plato to meet Commissioner White. The result of the latter's visit to Cabral looked forward to with great interest.

POBT-AC-PBIHCE, HAYTI,

March 7.—

The ..Commissiou reached here the 2d of March, from Azua, all in excellent health, and will wait here for Commissioner White, who went overland from Santo Domingo to Puerto Plato. He is expected bv the 10th, bringing two scientific expeditions under Messrs. Blake and Ward, who crossed before him. The Tennessee will then start immediately for home, touching at Santiago de'Cuba and Key West for coal.

Questions of debt and disputed boundary are the most important,raised since the last dispatches. Haytjtensare bitterly opposed to annexation. The Commissioners, however, were received civilly. Cabral's strength consists almost^ wholly of Haytien supports. Information that the Tennessee had been reported missing, first reached the party hei e. The statement of General Banks that she is unseaworthy, was received with great indignation, and was denounced as heartlessly cruel. She is one of the strongest and best ships in the navy with a select company of efficient officers. We expect now, unless delayed by the Nantaskel, to rtaclr* home by the 1st of April. Delay of one week from this cause .is possible, and 'if the ship is not heard from for two weeks, it should not cause anxiety. The mail from the Commission leaves for New York to-day, the 7th, by the steamer Port-Au-Prince.

Mr. Wade is preparing a short preliminary report, which he hopes to get off on the steamer this evening. He has^ also sent a short letter to the Pres^^'k Howe had arranged for a pretty thdrofgh exploration of this section of Hayti, but Wade insisted there was no authority for it, and it should not be done.

On the second day after our arrival tore, Messrs. Wade and Howe eall$d,$f previous agreement, upon the President and his Cabinet. The meeting had no reference to annexation. All the Cabinet were present. Upon being presented Wade said:

Mr. President, We a?e Commissioned of the United States charged with tne duty of making certain inquiries touching the 3tate and condition of the Dominican Republic, with a view to the possibility of more intimate relations between the two Republics than have bitberte existed, aaftfUaving performed that duty, .we were reluctant to leave this beautiful Island^wijthouJi.,doing ourselves the honor ofcau»#g and*paying our respects ..tojfte Preslftfbtfqf jlhe H*ytienBepu61ie, 4|j|d we press our hope AbajJuM* same friendly and amicable relations that haveao,l«|« inunated the people,of both nation? continue. In doing this, we but express the sincere sentiments of the President andpeople of the United States. OV

To this President Sagel replied, that he gladly reciprocated the feeling of friendehip expressed by Mr. Wfcae^ aild he would do all in his, power to aid their researches.

After some informal conversation, Wade said he greatly regretted not being able to speakin theif language, because he thought hi woufld-theri be abtfto say a great deal that would tend to allay the present feeling towards the United Statpf, by showing the points in whith the TTa/tiens misunderstood the United States.

President Sagel at this earnestly said, that the educated class in Hayti fully- un derstood and appreciated the condition of the United States, bht the large class only remembered the slavery wnich existed there, and they had thenwelves beeh slaves, and it ta'itnjpoanUt'lo influent* th«m. I

The President at the close of Ihfc Ctooference said he would try arid viait life Com missioners. He is «6t ex$ected£l a#ever, on account ofthe3gteo«raI*Bf poplar feeling against th* pirMebde ati the Commission in the haHwr. Ckbnd biis sent a communicatio* to:the ftiitTer fir

not to ^tmpUaaWanatters by bringing* him here, wishing as he does, to avoid all appearance of being engaged while in Hayti in prosecuting investigations looking to annexation.

men who joined the Democratic party ia the House and saved its ascendency and success in assaults upon the indaetrggyf the country, by showing a deter mi natien to rnsh through without debate or recon sideration the repeal of duties on articles, in the production of which' many thousands of American laborers are employed, all voted against me. When they voted in opposition to my accuser, the gentle(uan from the industrial and their representatives upon the floor, he made this early, and earnest and honest protest against this false and unfounded accusation, and having done this he asked the House to excuse him from serving on the committee.

'Massachusetts, in the name of interests of the country

Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts—I may be pardoned for sayiiig a word in reply to what has been said by my friend from Pennsylvania, (Kelley.) I have made no accusation against him. His vote has always been in accordance with his party obligations. I know he is not one of those who entered into the combination, but I ask, is there any other high tariff gentleman who desireB the floor-, to explain his vote? I say again, analyze the vote, an{i while admitting that two or three high tariff men voted with the Republican party, I say and reaffirm that this resolution which is so obnoxious to the tmyoritr of Republicans on the floor, was put through lest there should be legislation on the tariff.

Mr. Peters—Will the gentleman yield to me for a question? «. Mr Butler—Yes.

Mr. Peters—I wish to ask whether the gentleman is not aware that the majority of Republicans voted yesterday on the resolution, voted for it.

Mr. Butler —I am not Mr. Peters—An analysis of the yeas and nays as made by many members shows 58 Republicans voted for it, and 50 Republicans against the resolution.

Mr. Butler—I understand all tha perfectly. The resolution was sprung upon the House. Many of the 'warmest opponents of the resolution voted for it, be* cause as Southern men as well as other good Republicans, they sav from the trick that was played upon them, that there would be no other legislation except this in favor of the South, and they did not like to vote against it.

Mr. Dawes—I would like to ask mv colleague "a question. Mr I itler—Let me finish my senience —thi upon they voted in that way so they might not be placed in a seemingly false position at home. But that was not the way 84 men voted, who atttended the Republican caucus held the night before, which many of these members who voted for the resolution either did not attend or left before its deliberations were through, and ordered their committee to bring the matter of protection to Southern Union men before the House. By, the aid of a majority of Democratic votes, legislation in thi9 House is carried on in defiance of any organization of Republicanism. Now I will yield to the question from M»\ Dawes.

Mr. Dawes—What I desire to ask my colleague is, that he will state explicitly what lie means by the term "trick," which-he applies to fellow-members on the floor acting under the same responsibility he acts under.

Mr. Butler—The term what Mr. Dawes What the gentleman means when be applies the term ''trick" to the action of his fellow-members here upon the floor? I want to know what my colleague means by applying the term "trick" to his political associates on this floor, who differed with 50 acting under the same sense of responsibility and the same sense of duty that my colleague acts upon here in this House?

Mr. Butler—I don't understand that I applied the term "trick" to Republicans. Mr. Dawes—My colleague, in his circular that he has caused to be placed upon our desks—

Mr. Butler—Mr. Speaker— Mr. Dawes—Wait a moment. Mr. Butler—Why should I wait, when I do not choose to? (Laughter.)

Mr. Dawes—In that circular, and in the remarks which just fell from his lips he says, that resolution was carried by a. "trick."

Mr. Butler—No sir! What I did say was this, that it was sprung upon the House by a "trick," and I don't apply it to 58 members.

Mr. Dawes—Mv colleague has forgotten what he said himself. Mr. Butler—I have not forgotten.

Mr. Dawes—More's the pity then., (Laughter.) Mr. Butler—I am not troubled about all this. I say that after the Republican caucus was regularly called by the dulyelected members of the House, at which, the'gentleman was present until he found what action the caucus would decide, upon, and had determined what measurei .should be put before the House for its 'Consideration, then that was a legislative trick by which a majority of the party sprung a question apon the House which, -compelled the votes of a portion of the Republicans, and gave a seeming majority to a measure illusory in its character* and useless in its action, which had nj* majority in fact in its favor, so that the measure of the majority might be defeat-, ed by the-aid of Democratic votes. There are gentlemen all around me who did not feel at liberty to vote against the resolution, when it was thus sprung upon them, who felt about it ju3t the same as do, but they felt cbliged to vote for it lest they 8*nld be compromised. That is what I mean by*legislative trick, bv which a seeming majority is compelled, where there is none in fact. I ®ea» that when a man st^ys pilt tif,a cancftrf of fhef Republican party ..and that caucus votes for a measure, and'then b© comss jn add undertakes to thwart that party by the aid of votes of our opponents, whom I expected to vote as they did, by) offering a measure that they can support, and he gets them to support what a Republican majority cannot, as these gentlemen did, that I say is a legislative trick, and I say it with full knowl edge of my responsibility. If it is not true in the judgment of the country, I shall fail. If it is true, then on the beads of those who did it, be the responsibility for (he loss of life, liberty and property of our frieqdPr loyal men- in the. South, un protected, but unfiared for by aBv aid they receive from Congress, when ottr hands are tied by this trick.

By Mr. Frelinghuysen, to more Fully enforce the 14th amendment. Mr. Davis introduced a joint resolutiota providing an amendment to lhe Constitution, for the establishment of a constitutional tribunal, to consist pf one member from eafch State, with power to decide RH questions of conflict of jurisdiction between the. Upiled States and the several States, and the constitutionality of .hills passed, by Congress or acts done by any government officer, and^o open and count the electoral votes for President and Vioe President. Proceedings before the tribunal may be on petition or appeal from all courts of the United States and States. A, majority of the members .'of the tribunal shall decide all questions brought before! them. ^On expiration of lIie:mornin£ hour, the House bill making appropriations tor the payment of additional clerks and messengers in the Pension Office, and for other purposes, was taken .up, and sundry amendments from the Committee' on. Appropriations wepe adopter.

Pending action on the .bill, the Seilate, at 1:15, went into executive session, and soon after acQourned.'

Mr. Kelley rose to a personal explanation, asking that he be excused from service on the select committee on Southefn outrages, on aocount of ill hdalllb: He invited attention to the circiiiat hid on the desks of. members this mOrnitg?H} dressed to the Republican-of the House of Representatives, signed byB.
