TRHE SAN DOMINGO SCHEME.

~ Will the San Domingo scheme- be ‘abandoned, is now the question on the lips of politicianss A The opposition of Mr. Sumner, and the hostility to the | job which i apparent among the people, would naturafly icall ~fof§h an af-i firmative reply ; ‘bﬁt President Gra‘rlxtlg is a pig-headed, persistent and determ-: ined man. He has a strong will, with judgment and reasoﬁ n 'an exactly ‘inverse ratio. ‘He has;fixed his eye on San Domingo a¥%he’ great objective _point of his administration, and unless its acquisition is accomplished there will be nothing, except odium, in h_is Presidential life that will attrdet, the attention of the future reader of American history. It takes a long time to-get an idea into the Presidential ‘cranium, but when once lodged in his muddled brain nothing short of a surgical operation will remove it. - We, therefore, coficlude that the Santo Domingo project will not-be abandoned. The New Hampshire clection:,and- the internal disgensions in the Radieal party causes the President to assume the position of a prize fighter, with his head in c¢hancery. He isnot prepared to throw up. the sponge but takes his punishment with firmness, believing all the. time that a chance will yet offer for him to win. ‘

* Wi learnh from Washington that the 1 idea of annexing the island by joint resolution, as was done in the case of Texas, has been relinquished.. The reasons for this conclusion are not given and for the' present must remain a mystéry. A treaty of annexation must, then, be ‘ratified by a two-thirds majority of the Senate, and it is not *ble that the required number ot vOT™ can be obtained. Considering the vacancies the Senate, as it now stands, is composed of 70 members.— It will therefore require the-votes of 47 Senators tomccomp]ishg_ihe scheme of annexation. These votes can hardly be obtained. A careful canvass of the members develops the fact that some 23 Republicans and the 13 Democrats” are unalterably opposed to the job.— Added to this number may safely be reckoned annmber of Senators who will. not wish to sacrifice their political future to please the President. It is, there--fore, highly probable that the Santo Domingo project will have to be classed among the large list of Grant’s failures. But if the above reasons are not valid as a basis for our conclusions there is another and no less important, one. A treaty will necessarily involve the appropriation of a large amount of money. ~According to the Constitution all appropriation bills must have their origin in the House, and in the present temper of that body such a bill would ‘ b’g upceremoniouely kicked out of the i back door. The President will undoubtedly, adhere to his purpose, but’ if forced to a vi;bte his pet project ‘will be ingloriously defeated, and its downfall will be accompanied by the fragmentary remains of the Republican ji party. . (L |

A GREAT many Republican papers are trying to make political capital by calling the new Fee and Salary bill a democratic measure, and then asserting that ‘it will work a large increase in taxes: If it has the effect to increase the salaries of county officials, why do these public pensioners raise such. a clamor against it, and why are they joining hands to test its constitutionality ? The law may work some injustice, and the haste with ‘which it was rushed through the Legislature without- being fully discussed ard matured, should bé condemned, but every honest man must admit that a general reform among county officials was much needed, and. the people, who for years have been atrociously swindled by-their officers, will be slow to condemned a measure that offers them relief. Let the Fee and Salary bill be fairly tried, and when it is found to be unjust, let that part be duly modified, but in no case should the broad ‘avenues leading to the flesh pots of the peqple be again opened as was done by the old law. e i ;

The Boston Herald, a no-party paper; and having the largest circulation of any journal in New England, looks upon the New Hampshire result much in the same light as the great majority of the public, including hosts -of independent Republicans. That papeér thus speaks: * The unterrified eagle of Democracy rests upon the White Mountains once more, and spreads his wings over the whole Granite State. It seems hard to bélieve that a majority of the legal voters of New Hampshire are .“rebels,” and we prefer to look upon the. Democratic victory as an emphatic protest against the un‘wise, unconstitutional and extravagant rale of the Radical party, controlled by corrupt and dangerous men. The wave' which beat upon the White Hills yesterday promises to siveep over the country, and to carry away gsome of the abuses which have been foisted upon the Government. It means that the people want honesty ‘and’economy, a recognition of peace, and the preservation of the organic law of the land. P -

LIGONIER, IND., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5,171,

‘Having spent several weeks in the extreme south, with .a good field for observation before'me, T may be able to compensate your readers for & few ;moments of their time spent in reading an “unvarnished tale.”

’ CLIMATE. L There are ‘advantages in the soft and balmy air of the Gulf States that would add length of days to the lives of many persons with shattered health, whose contitutions have been racked: by thé.sevex"ity of opr northern clime.’ To guch, however,”l think a change would not be advisable, anless they pags the fickle and changeable belt that lies between 'de'gtees of latitude 34 and 38, and "the change should be" made in the fall geason and not in the | spring. The equable temperature of the extreme south iz due, in a great’ measure, to_ the influences of the Gulf, | as the Gulf breezes extend inland | some’ two hundred miles and render | the heat less oppressive 'than it is found to be farther north. R S

There is room for immense development in. the mechanical and manufacturing - departments ; in fact, almost everything seems to be in its iufancy, except the sole business of raising cotton. Before the war the production of cotton was 8o unexceptionably remunerative that all else was forgotten or geglected, and the soq%hernex"s are too Bourbon-like and do notlearn readily to adapt themselves to the changed condition of affairs, brought about by the ‘“surrender” (which is the point of time from which everthing is dated in Dixie.y There will be a growth, of course, in the right direction, but it is by far too slow for the general good of the southern communities. A country with all the natural advantages of a genial climate, prbduc_tiv.e soil, and immense stores of iron, coal, &c—open to and courting immigration from the crowded and enterprising north,(where all ‘kinds of business is confusedly over-done) will, in a few short years, not be found buying from the north its supplies of flour, pork, corn oats, hay, vegetables, ‘farm implements, wagous, &c. The presence of an inferior race is greatly in the way of a épeedy inflax of white labor, but it must and will give way. and‘run rapidly, after a good beginning is once made. The improvement is more rapid in the poorer parts of the country, where the land is cheapest ‘and obtainable in small parcels.-” The rich prairie country of middle Mississippi and the wealthy regions of Alabama, as on thé Tombigbee and Black Warrior Rivers, where the plantations are large and the buildiffgs extensive and expensive, has an air of decay and dilapidation; the towns, Columbus, Jackson, &c., in Mississippi, and Eutaw, Selma, Tuscaloosa, in Alabama, though yet ,having a great deal . of wealth in them, show no increase or enterprise, while Corinth. and Meridian, in regions of light thin soil, are growing very. rapidly and will, ere long, hecome ¢ities ‘of very considerable importance and centres of large trade;. o e el

Just after the close of the war, there was “an era of good feeling” through-. out the'South. Many sterling, solid, conservative men came to the front to give direction ‘to the course of public affairs, jand the condition of southern society gave fair promise of speedy tranquility and harmony. This as. pect of affairs soon gave place to asullen discontent, as the majority in Congress in order to retain their party ascendency, began to organize bedlam by their ill adapted reconstruction measures. The impoftation of northern carpet-baggers has been a fruitful source of irritation ‘add trouble; but even at this point the difficulties that have sprung up -in certain - localities have been caused 'by thé personal characteristics lof the carpet-baggers settled over them. Very many even of these men have been cordially received by the masses of the people, when they have possessed the qualifications necessary for their offices and have exhibited good sense in their intercouse with the péople.. In communities where the term “scalawag” fits appropriately on the shoulders of the office-holder Bureau agent or: school teacher, then chronic trouble ;is the sure inheritance of the people. The filling of the more important offices in the southern States has required the very best ability that could be found, and even then an administration could only be made a partial success. Gov. Alcom, amid many difficulties, situdted between. two. fires, has shown marked ability, and should he maintain himself at his present - standard, will make ome of the most honored men in the history of Mississippi, as viewed by the next generation,

' Masked, vigilance committees, -or regulators, ' are doing great injury to the southern people. Lawlessness, of whatever kind, brings evil; its fruit can only be evil, and that continunally, Though these companies are organized generally to suppress stealing and night prowling, and do not often go y 2 ¢ t :

KU KL UX.

beyond severe whippings as the punishment they inflict, yet they, in effect give license to the taking of law in the ‘hands of the individual, and thus, the Ku Klux becomes the miserable parent of innumerable injuries tg society. These irregularities are not confined to any particular party. During my stay in the city of Meridian, a colored man, & -deputy Sheriff, was ter ribly beaten by a party of Ku K!ux, the leader ot whom turned out to be'a carpet-bagger from the north, named Price, and the balance of the gang were negroes. This, transaction has gince been followed by its legitimate friit, jo two incendiary fires, the arrest of three negroes for arson,the shoot ing of the Judge upon the Bench by one of the prisoners, and the eubsequent killing of eight or ten of the negroes by the Sheriff’s posse. - It is right that the prevalent evils ,now suffered by Southern soviety should be thoroughly. investigated, a.nj some adequate remedy applied by ndtional Jegislation. It may be repugnant to the ideas that have heretofore existed, that the.whole country should be policed, but I apprehend that if the committee appoinﬂéd by Congress shall l fully and thoroughly investigate the difculties of the case that the remedy can only be found in national legislation ; but in connection with any law for establishing a mational police no officer or soldier should be eligible.to any civil office whatever for five years after they have severed their connection with the military branch of theservice, These views may be thought by some to be “peculiar,” but lam “free to maintain” them as sound and practical. | , " EARLY.

REV. J. B. Smith, an Episcopal clergyman, who is engaged in teaching the éolored people of North Carolina, r;ecenﬂy; testified before the Senate ““Southerh. Outrage” committee that Governor Holden expresses the. belief ‘that “President Grant will hold the government of the United States, no matter who may be elected in 1872, and that he (Holden) desired to see Grant Emperor, and to have his son succeed. him as Emperor.” It should be remembered that Holden is one- of !Grants special pets, and the question is, where did Holden, who never originates anything except a periodical KuKlux outrage, get this idea? It probably escaped from the Presidential Mansion, and crept into Holden’s little skull for fear of being strangled if it found lodgment in. the ear of &n honest man. This imperial advocate wes recently impeached, by a Democratic Legislature; and turned out of office, but he finds a ready defender in every radical paper in the country. -

THE editor of the Valparaiso Vidette is badly frightened over the re. sult of the late el&ctions.

Medical Properties of Eggs.

It will interest our readers to know that the white of an egg has proved of late to be the most efficacious remedy for burns. Seven or eight successive applications of this substance soothe pain and effectually exclude the burn from the air. This simple remedy seems preferable to “collodion, oreven cotton. Bxtraordinary stories are told of the healing properties of a‘new oil which is easily n'(x)a‘de from' the yolk of hen’s eggs. The cgg( are first boiled hard, and the yolks are then removed, crushed and placed over & ﬁre, - where they are carefully stirred until the ~whole substance is just on the point of -catching fire, when the oil separates,” and may be poured off. One yolk will yield nearly two teaspoonstul of oil.

The Affection and Noble Qualities of

the Horse,

Edward Everett, who never touches the tritest subjeet without investing it with a halo of beaunty, was once called up” at an exhibition of horses at Springfield, Mass., and ghat he spoke impromtu, was so peculiarly Wlicitous, that it will bear a r ifthe history of the times. Thereis no word-paint-er of the past @t of the present, who can excel Everett :

If there is any one who doubts ithat the horse—the animal that most concerns us on this occasion—is susceptible of the kindest feelings of our nature, I think he would be convinced of his error by a most interesting anecdote of Edmund Burke. In the decline of Mr. Burke's life, when he was living in retirement on his farm at Beaconsfield, the rumor went up to London that he had: gone mad ; and the fact that was stated in support of this rumor was that he went round his park kissing his cows and horses. A friend, a man of influence, hearing this story, .and deeming’ it of too much importance to be left uncorrected, hastened to Beaconsfield, and sought an interview with the view of ascertaining the truth of the rumor. Entering into - conversation with him, Mr.. Burke read to him some chapters from his * Letters on the Regicide. ™ His friend immediately saw, that though the earthly tenacity was verging back to its native dust, the lamp of reason and genius shone with undiminished lustre. He was accordingly more than satisfied as to the objeet of his coming down; and in a private interview with Mre. Burke told her what he had come, for, and received from her, this pathetic explanation. e

Mr. Burke’s only: child, a beloved son, had not long before died, leaving behind a favorite horse, the, companion of his excursions of buginess and pleasure. This favorite animal was of course turned out by Mr., Burke, the’ father, into the park, with hirectibns to alt his servants that he should in every respect be treated as a privileged favorite. Mr, Burke himself, of course, in his morning walks, would often stop to caress the favorite animal. On one occasion, as he was taking his morning walk through the park, he perceived the poor.old animal at a distance, and noticed that he was recognized by him. The horse drew nearer and nearer to Mr. Burke, stopped, eyed ‘ him with the most pleading look of, recognition, which said, as plainly as. words cquld have said—¢lhave lost him, too;” and the poor dumb beast deliberately laid his head upon Mr.’ Burke’s bosom ! ' |

‘Struck by the singularity of the occurrence, struck by the recollection’ of his son, whom he had never ceased to mourn with a grief that could never be comforted, overwhelmed by the ten--derness of the animal, ‘expressed in the mute tenderness of holy Nature's universal language, the illustrious statesman for a moment lost his self-posess-ion, and—clasping his arms around the neck of his son’s favorite animal, lifted up that voice, which caused the arches of Westminister Hall to echo the noblest strains that ever sounded within them. and wept aloud ! Sir, this was seen, this was heard by the passers by, and the enemies of Burke, unappeased by his advancing yéars, by hig failing health, by his domestic sorrows made it the ground of a charge of ‘lnsanity. Burke is gone; but, sir, so help me héaven, if I were called upon to designate the event or the period in Burke’s life that would best sustain-a charge of insanity it would not be when, in a gush of the holiest and purest feeling that eyer stirred the human heart, he wept aloud on the neck: of a dead ‘son’s favorite horse. :

3 A New Way of Making Cheese,

In conversation lately with an intelligent' gentlemap, one interested in all farm processes, and practically familiar with many parts of farming, he related the manner of making, or rather of pressing cheese, practiced by a neighbor of his—a woman skilled in housebold economy, and famous for her nice cheese. With the number of cows usually kept, it takes three days to make a cheése. Her tormer method was'to run up a curd each morning, keeping them until the third day ; then mixing the curds together, and putting them into the hoop and pressing. Her practice is now to run up the curd and put it into the press at once, the hoop being about. one-third full. '-

The next morning the second curd is run up, that which’ was in the hoop is taken out, cloth changed, placed in a hoop again, the top of it is then scratched or broken- with a fork, and the second curd %ut in, when it is again placed in the press, where it remains all day. The third morning’s curd s then run up, the cheese taken from the press; turned, the- surface hacked up with a fork, and the third curd spliced on, bringing the first cure in the middle of the cheese. It isthen pressed sufficiently, taken out and placed in the cureing room. By this process the work each morning is cleared all away, no curds are kept over, and a good sized cheese is produced of superior quality, and one as firm .and golid as if all placed in the hoop at once.—Maine Farmer,.

SENATOR SUMNER’S GREAT ANTIANNEXATION SPEECH.

(Delivered in the Senateofthe United States, March i : 27, 187 L) G, DT

- Mr. Bumner arose and addressed the ‘Seriate, aﬁ%ngtb, speaking from the seat - of his colleague, Wilson. 'He comménced by asserting that it is now on evidence ‘before the Serate that the navy of the United States, acting under orders from - Washington, has been engaged in measures of violence and bellji;e?ent}‘interventio‘n, r»b;eing war without'the aatbority '?o'f Con~gress. The whole business is aggravated ) when it is considered «that the declared libbjec‘t of this violence is the acquisition of toreign territory, being half of an island ‘in the ‘Caribbean sca; and still fuither, -that this violence has been employed, first, to prop and maintain a weak ruler, himselt & usurper, upholding him in power, -

THAT HE MIGHT SELL HIS COUNTRY; and, secondly, it has been employed to menace the black republic of Hayti. Such a case, Mr. Sumner continties, is too grave for silence. - For the sake of the navy, the Adﬁiinistra,tion, republican institutions, and for the sake of the Republican party, which cannot afford to become responsible for such ‘conduct, the case must not pass without inquiry. But beyond all these considerations is the commanding rule ot justice. The question is not whether the ‘acquisition of San ‘Domingb is desirable, but whether we are justified in the means employed to accomplish this acquisition, And the evidence now befare us shows too clearlythat -~ e ;

MEANS HAVE BEEN EMPLOYED WHICH CAN-

NOT BE JUSTIFIED,

He had supposed that proceedings regarding the treaty for annexation were blameless until, while it was pending before the Senate, the Assistant Secretary of State brought him a number of dispatches, among ‘which was one from our consular ugent there, who sigred the treaty for annexation, from which it distinctly appeared that Baez, while engaged in selling his country, was maintained in power by the navy of the United States. Other evidence has accumulated toshow that we were engaged in .

FORCING UPON A WEAK PEOPLE.THE SAC

RIFICE OF THREIR COUNTRY.

- The State Departwent and the Navy Department each contained a record of disgraceful, -intolerable, and deplorable proceedings, .and still they. pressed consummation. The story of Naboth’s vine« yard was reviewed. Unless the reports of the State and Navy Departments are discredited, it is obvious, beyond ‘doubt, that our Government has seized the war powers, carefully guarded by the Constitution, and, withont the authority of Congress, has employed them to trample on the independerce and cqual rights of two naticns co-equal with ours, The-Senator then characterizeg- :

.. BAEZ AND GRANT AS CO-PARTNERS in the melancholy affair, and carefully reviews the history of the ‘former and. his unscrupulous usurpation ; recites the origin of the scheme for annexing half of the island.. Quoting the exclamation of the Duke of Wellington: “ There can be no such thing, my Lords, as a little war,” the Senator said theére may be war without a battle, and so our navy has thus far conquered without a shot. - But its presence in-Hayci and Dominica-was war. He then minutely reviews the testimony to this effect furmished by the Stite and Navy Departments, from which it appears that the very agent who- signed the treaties officially reported that the usurper was

MAINTAINED IN POWER BY OUR GUNS.

-But intervention in Dominica is only one part of the story, even according to reluctant confession of the Navy Depart. ment. In the effort to secure the muchcoveted territory,-our Government, not content with' maintaining the usurper Baez in power, in occupying the harbors of Dominica with war ships of the United States, sent other war ships, being none other than our powerful monitor Dictator, with the frigate Severn as a consort, and with still other monitors in their train, to menace the black republic of Hayti by an act of war. An American Admiral was found to do this thing, and an American Minister, himself ot African blood, was found to aid the Admiral. The dispatch ot the. Secretary of State instituting this act of war is not communicated to the Senate. But we are sufficiently enlightened by that of Bassett, our Minister resident at Port au Prince, ‘who, under date of Feb. 17, 1870, informs the State Department in Washington that he had transmitted to the Haytien Government. notification that :

THE UNITED STATES ASKED AND EXPECTED

STRICT NEUTRALITY

in reference to the internal affairs of San Domingo. This assault upon the inde:. pendence and equality of the .black re-; public, Mr. Sumner adds, appears more’ fully in the report ‘to the Navy Depart: ment, which is an authentic record of acts flagrant and indefensible.. Mr. Sumner’ then proceeded to show that this conduct | IS GROSS VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL

and of the Constitution of the United States, and every employment of these war powers 11 pursuance_of this assumption was an ustrpation, and that assudiption in the San Domingo treaty is excep: tional and ‘abnormal, being absolutely without precedent. But, continues Mr. Sumner, even admitting some remote semblance, excuses, or ;apology -during the pending of the- treaty, all of which I insist is absurd beyond question, though not . entirely impossible in a quarter not at all unuged to constitutional questions, and heeding them little ; conceding that the assumpsit inserted in the treaty by the Secretary of State had deceived the President into the idea that he possessed the kingly prerogative of declaring war at his own mere motion, and wishing to deal most gently, even with an undoubted usurpation of the kingly prerogative 82 Jong .8s the Secretary -of State is the sworn counselor-of the President, supplied formula for the usurpation, and you will bear witness that I have-done nothing but

state the case. It is hard to hold, back when the same usurpation is openly proJoniged after the Senate had rejected the treaty on which the exercise of the kingly preregative was founded, and when the assumpsit devised by the Secretary: of State had passed into the limbo of things lost on earth. Here there i no remote infinitesimal semblance of excpse or apology. Nothing, absolutely nothing. The usurpation pivets .on nonentity, always excepting the kingly will of the Presidént, which, constitutionally, is a nonentity. The great artist of Bologna, in a much admired statue, sculptured Mercury as standing on a puff of air; but the President has ndt even a puffl of air to stand on. Mr. Sumner then concluded : In the evidence -adduced I have confined myself carefully.to public documents.

ON THIS UNANSWERABLE TESTIMONY, where each part confirms the rest, and the whole has the harmony of truth, I present . : : g 5 this transgression, and here it is not I who speak, but the testimony. Thus stands the case. ‘The international law has been violated in two acts, one securing the equality of nations; and the other. providing against belligerent intervention. Looking still further at the facts, we-see that all this great disobedience has for its object the acquisition of an outly- - ing tropical island with large promise of. - wealth, and that in carrying out this scheme our Republic-has. forcibly maintained an usurper in power that he might sell his country, and has | | ;

DEALT A BLOW AT THE INDEPENDENCE

OF HAYTI,

which, .being & wrong to that Republic, wag an insult to the ,Afric&n‘race; and. all this has béen done by prerogative alone, without authiority;of an act of Congress. If such atransaction can escape judgment, it is Gifficult to see what secur--Ities remain ;' what other sacréd rules of international law may not be violated ; what other foreign nation may not be struck at; whi other Belligerent menace may not be hurled; what other kingly prerogative may not be seized. ' NEVER BEFORE WAS THERE SUCH PRESI- | DENTIAL INTERVENTION. In the Sepate, as we have been constrained to witness, the President visits the capitol with appeals to the Senators, and these have been followed by assemblies at the Executive Mansion. Senators can measure the pressure of all kinds brought by the President or his agents, through the appointing' power. All this is to secure the consummation of the scheme. Thus do we discern in the acts of the President, whether-on the coasts of San Domingo or here at ‘Washington, the same determination, withi the same disregard of the great principles, as also the same recklessness toward the people of Hayti, who have never-injured the United States. In view. of these things, the first subject of inquiry is not .of the soil, elimate, productiveness, and possibilities of wealth, but the exceptional and abnormal proceedings, of our own Government.— Before condemning the treaty or any question of acquisition, we must at least put: ourselves right as a nation. Nor do I seé how this can be done without retrdcing our steps, and consenting that the act isinsubordination to the international law and the Constitution of the United States. Therefore, on the question of acquisition I say nothing to-day, only slluding to some questions involved in the question whether we will assume i

THE BLCODY HAZARDS: INVOLVED IN THIS ' BUSINESS, as it has' been pursued with slternative expenditures for war ships and troops, causing the most painful anxieties. While there is still the other. question ot the debts and obligations, acknowledged and ‘unacknowledged, with an immense claim by Hayti and an unsettled boundary, ‘which I have already called a blood lawsuit. To my mind there is something better than belligerent intervention and acts of war, with menace of absorption, at untold cost of tteasure. It is a sincerc and‘humane effort on our part, in a spirit of peace, to reconcile Hayti and Dominica, and establish tranquillity throughout the islands. ' Let this be attempted, and our Republic will become an example worthy of its name and the civilization which it represents, white republican 3 .institutions will have new glory. -The' blessings of good men would attend such an effort.— Nor would the smile of Heaven be wanting. And may,we not Jusﬂy expect -the President to unite in.such a measure of peace and good willj?: FEs After speaking three hours and a quarter, Mr. Sumner, at 3:30 ». ~ concluded.

The new organization is composed of leading Republicans of Cincinnati to the number of about one hundred. In their declaration of principles the organizers of this new party say that they considerithe policy of disfranchisement incompatible with the principles of a republican government, and that all political disabilities, imposed for participation in the rebellion, should beabolished ; that to defray the expenses of government;, s considerable] portion of the revenue . should be derived from.duties on imports, and that no duties should be levied for any other purpose ; that they are opposed to the present system of pretectiveduties, which is unjust and wrong in principle, and defeats its own ends.in practice ; that they are opposed to the employment of government patronage for party purposes, believing the' enly true ‘policy to be the appointment of good men to, office, regardless of their political views; and, finally, that they are. in favor of an early resumption of specie payments by the government, S s
