San Domingo.
The President's recommendation for this Government to absorb a large por!ion of the island of San Domingo, meets with but little favor anywhere. Petitions are beginning to pour intothe Senate against it, and the prca* of the country, which ought to be «i careful iviiexof the wish of the people, is greatly against it.
The President's argument, in his recent message, in relation to this affair, is not conclusive. It has failed to convince the people.
If the aequi.-i'ion of ,San Domingo wiii, at present, or in tho future, cost this Government any thing, then tho people are I opposed to it. if we are to give §20,000,000 for it, then is the objection to its acquisition overwhelming. A man who is covered all over with debts so covered and weighed down, that his back is bent almost to the earth, would regarded as silly indeed to take upon himself an additional debt. AVliv, one feather's weight more might break the spinal column, and the poor fellow would die in spite of every and all assistance. This people is burdened now, to an unparalleled degree, with an enormous debt. To increase that debt may act like the feailur which broke the camel's back. A wise statesmanship would counsel thai wegefcoutofdebt, before we make further acquisitions to our domain. Our country is extensive enough for a few years. Vv'e can well enough afford to wait for a more auspicious time to extend our territorial limits. The necessity for acquiring San Domingo, in a national point of view, is not apparent to our mind, and there are some surroundings connected with the "job," which do not strike us favorably.
Senator Morton's resolutions, asking for a commission to visit the island and report its true condition, is all right enough. But it strikes the common mind of the country, that this information is asked for at a very singular time, after the question lias been before the Senate for more than one year, and after the President has twice recommended its acquisition. Is it possible that President Grant lias recommended that we acquire San Domingo, and not been fully posted in relation to everything contemplated by Senator Morton's resolution? And if so, is it possible the Senator did

Apportionment.
It is thought likely that the apportionment bill, in one form or another, may be passed at the present session of Congress, so that the States may be fairly represented in the next Congress upon the basis of the census just taken. To this course we do not see that any objection can be made, nor can it be refused, indeed, without manifest violation ot the intent of the Constitution. If that instrument means anything, it certainly means that Congress shall apportion representatives according to population as soon as practicable after every enumeration, Otherwise, it would be always in the power ot a bare majority, representin"- States likely to lose in relative strength, to postpone the apportionment until the last year in each decade, as well as to postpone it for one year or two after the population had been ascertained,

[Special Dispatches to the Torre Haute Gazette.]
BERLIN, Dec. 10.—The provincial correspondence of the city say the bombardment of Paris has again been postponed because such a course at present would be detrimental to military operations. The real object of the war and the interests of the army at this juncture are paramount considerations. Unquestionably at the right moment the commander of the investing army will take such action as will fully insure the immediate success. The Prussian Government declares that the Great Powers of Europe concerned themselves in the Luxembourg matter in the lace of her plain violation of neutrality, in interest of the French. Prussia, therefore, reerves to herself full freedom for her future course.

Thiers, while at St. Petersburg, and before proceeding to Versailles, intended to have proposed the abandonment of Count Bismarck's demand for Alsace, and the substitution in turn for the annexation of Belgium and Holland to Prussia, but it was unfavorably received by the Russian authorities, and he abandoned the attempt at negotiations.

Hints to Pex-sons Using Sewing Machines. It is a fact known to all who use sewing machines that the prevailing difficulty is the breaking of the thread. Nearly all other little disarrangements that occur, can usually be overcome by any person of ordinary ingenuity even though thev have had but a few weeks, or, perhaps, day's experience in the use of a sewing machine.
This breaking, which is mastly with the upper thread, may occur from an impefect adjustment of the tension. With new machines this is invariably the case but with those that have been in use several months the breaking (when the tension is right) is produced by the thread's wearing into the guides, so that when a swelled place in the thread reaches the narrow groove, which is worn to the exact width of the regular size of the thread, not being allowed to pass through, the thread breaks.
Of course, this break may take place anywhere from the point of the needle
of Poaton, averse to the proposed annex- back to the grooved guide which caught °*,^au Poniingo, setting forth their it. As it is usually at or near the end of belief t-nat the same would ho a great the needle, the real cause is very geuercalamity to this country, leading to great ally overlooked. Many have been so frauds and corruption, and probably to troubled with this continental breaking, that it has been necessary for them to

necessary for them to
lay aside their machines, when if this cause had been known to them, by simply smoothing the guide-holes with a small, round lile, their trouble would be ended.
No doubt sewing machine manufacturers are looking out for the first \ankee invention of a guide which will not be worn by the passage of thread through it. If this can be accomplished, a monopoly of it would probably be of but little less value than that of a needle with an eye in the point.—Exchange.
