Several new features of the business will be introduced upon this occasion. The menagerie and circus will be exhibited under different canvasses, though for the same price of admission. This innovation is merely for convenience.

CRINOLINE.—However perfect the outer garments may be, no woman can have real chic unless the "under-pinning" we use as delicate a phrase as possible) be well constructed. We are grateful to fas!lion in that she has decreed that small waists are no longer stvlish. A

reasonable slope is of course desirable, but

a "wasp-waist" is to be found nowhere but in remote country districts. To see a woman with a pinched waist immediately proclaims her ignorance of "what is what." Hoops also are doomed.

THE Two I'UFHLISTS, who exchanged cards Saturday evening after an ineffectual attempt to settle a drunken row at the Fifth Street Theatre, were up before the Mayor yesterday, but before the time arrived for the disposal of the case, one of them, a professional dead beat named Uuidolph, "sloped out," since which time the "places that once knew him now know him no more." The other party is a young blacksmith, named Burnett. The authorities did not prosecute him because of the absence of his opponent.

CHARACTERISTIC.—A precocious youth of some sixteen summers entered one of the news rooms in this city this forenoon and made the following purchase: One copy of the Illustrated Police News one of the PoUcc Gazette one of the Clipper, and three of the back numbers of the Sporting Times, and to cap the climax a half dollars worth of Beadle's Dime Novels at trade prices. That, we think, characteristic of "Young America," and manifests the uncontrollable desire which burns in the youthful heart for the sensations of the day.

PUTTING ON AIRS.—While Mr. T. H. Riddle was in Washington last week he no doubt was "cutting quite a dash" and assumed ponderous proportions, as the gentlemanly doorkeeper of the U. S. Senate mistook him for a member of the House or Representatives and inquired of him what State he was from. He was wearing one of the magnificent gold chain-! which he selected from the elegant stock he purchased while in New York, and we are of the opinion that was the reason the doorkeeper thought he had a "hand in the Government pie" and thus mistook him for a M.C.

THE following was left upon our table last evening in our absence. We publish it verbatim:

NEW YORK, March 28.—The Tribune's financial article says the recent activity and buoyancy in Lake Shore stock, have been at different times explained in different ways by the wise ones of the street, and whatever may have been the real cause, the Vanderbilt clique has taken pains to quietly circulate a statement that an extra scrip dividend of $5,000,000 (about fourteen percent.) is to be made. The whole will increase the capital stock to $40,000,000, and that road is then to be leased to the New York Central, which corporation is to guarantee seven per cent, to the stockholders of the Lake Shore. Whether this will be done or not, remains to be seen but there is no doubt whatever that at present the Central clique desire the public to believe that such is the programme.

Upon

WASHINGTON, March 27. Senate.

Long before the hour of meeting the galler.es and corriders leading to the Senate were densely thronged by an im mense audience, eager to hear the speech of the Senator from Massachasetts, who had been annouueed to address the Senate on San Domingo. The diplomatic and ladies' galleries were almost entirely monopolized by the fair sex. At 12 o'clock the spectacle was one of the most animating ever witnessed in the Senate Chamoer. Mr. Sumner's appearance on the floor was welcomed by the gallerie.witta applause.

the conclusion of .tlie reading of

the journal, Mr. Sumner took the floor,

and

asked for the readiug of the resolution recently submitted by him aud already published, against the use of the United States naval forces to uphold Baez in an attempt to sell bis couutry, in violation of its Constitution, and threatening the integrity and existence of the friendly power of Hayti. He then submitted and had read by the Secretary an additional resolution as follows:

Revolved, That whatever may be the

"*n.y »r' "**C

title to territory under an unratified treaty, it is positive that after the failure of a treaty in the Senate,"all pretext to title ceased, so that our Government is in all respects a stranger to the territory, without excuse or apology for any interference against its enemies, foreign and domestic, and therefore any belligerent intervention or act of war on the coast of the Island of San Domingo, after the failure of the Dominican treaty in the Senate, is unauthorized violence, utterly

rogative which is disavowed by the Con stitution of the United States. Mr. Fenton called attention to the fact that in the pressure to gain admittance to the galleries a hundred ladies had been excluded, he therefore moved that the cloak rooms and corridors in the rear of the Senate Chamber be opened for their accommodation.

There being no objection, theSergeant-it-Arms was directed to carry out the motion, as the order of the Senate.

Mr. Thurman hoped the Senator from Massachusetts (Sumner) would not be interrupted at the expiration of the morning hour, but would be allowed tcr proceed regularly. It was so ordered.

Mr. Sumner then arose and addressed the Senate at length, speaking from the seat of his colleague (Wilson).

Mr. Sumner in his opening paragraph definitely asserts that it is now in evidence before the Senate, that the Navy of the United States, acting under orders from Washington, has been engaged in a pleasure of violence and belligerent intervention, being war without authority of Congress. The whole business, he adds, is aggravated, when it is considered that the declared object of this violence is the acquisition of foreign territory, being half an island in the Carribean Sea. And still further, that this violence has been employed, first, to prop and maintain a weak ruler, himself an 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 continues, is too grave for silence. For the sake of the Navy, tke Administration, republican institutions, and for the sake of the Republican party, which cannftt afford to become responsible for such conduct, the case must not pass without inquiry. But beyond all these considerations is the commending rule of justice. The question is not whether the acquisition of San Domingo is desirable, but whether we are justified in the means employed to accomplish this acquisition, and the evidence now before us shows too clearly that means have been employed which cannot be justified.

Jde had supposed that the proceedings regarding the treaty for annexation were blameless, until, while it was pending before the Senate, the Assistant Secretary of Stats brought liini a number of dispatches, among which was one from our Consular agent there, from which it distinctly appeared that Baez, while engaged in selling his country, was maintained in power ly the navy of the United States. Ot ier evidence has accumulated to show that we were engaged in forcing upon a weak people a sacrifice of their country. The State Department and Navy Department each contained a record of disgraceful, intolerable and deplorable proceedings, and still they pressed its consummation. The story of Xaboth's Vineyard was revived. Unless the reports of the State and Navy Departments are discredited, it is obvious

,p, c, tievond doubt, that our Government has

March -8. me seized the war powers carefully guarded

by the Constitution, and without author itv of Congress, has employed them to trample on the independence and equal rights of two nations co-equal with ours.

The Senator then characterized Baez and Grant as co-partners in the melancholy affair, and carefully teviews the history of the former and his unscrupulous

usurpations

f^-vB*

recites the origin

r"

rtt*i^\i

of

the scheme annexing half the island, which is generally known, quoting the exclamation of the Duke of Wellington, "there can be no such thing, my Lord, as a little war."

The Senator asserted that there maybe war without a battle, and so our navy has thus tar conquered without a shot, but its presence in Hayti and Dominica was war. He then minutely reviews the testimony to this effect, furnished by the State and Navy Departments, from which it appears that the very agent who signed the treaties, officially reported that the usurper was maintained by our guns. But intervention in Dominica is only one part of the story, even according to the reluctant confession of the Navy Department. In the effort to secure the much coveted territory, our Government, not content with maintaining the usurper Baez in power, is occupying the harbors of Dominica with warships. The United States have -ent other war ships, beintr none other than our powerful monitor Dictator, with tlie frigate Severn as consort, and with yet other monitors in their train, to menace the- back Republic of Hayti. By an act of war an An erica Admiral was found to do this thing, and au American Minister, himself of African blood, was found to aid the Admiral. The dispatch of the Secretary of State instituting this act of war is not communicated to the Sena.e, but we sire sufficiently eniighted by that of issett, our Minister resident at Portau Prince, who under late of February 17 1870, informs the State Department in Washington that he had transmitted to the Haytien Government notification that the United States asked and expected it to observe strict neutrality in reference to the internal affairs of San Domingo. This assault upon the independence and equality of the black Republic, Mr. Sumner adds, appears more fully in the report of the Navy Department, which is an authentic record of acts flagrant and inde-

Mr. Sumner proceeds to show that this conduct is a gross violation of international law and of the Constitution of the United States, every employment of these war powers in pursuance of this assumption, was usurpation and that assumption in the San Domingo treaty is exceptional aud abnormal, being absolutely without precedent.

But, continued Mr. Sumner, even admitting some remote infinitesimal resemblance of excuse or apology during the pendency of the treaty, all of which I

iusist

is absurd, beyond the question,

though not entirely impossible in a quarter unused to constitutional questions and heeding them but little, conceding that the assumpsit inserted in the treaty hy 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 kingly prerogative, so long as the Secretary of State a sworn counsellor of the President, supplied the formula for usurpation, aud 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 prolonged, after the Senate had rejected the treaty on which the exercises of kingly prerogative was founded, and when the assumpsit devised by the Secretary of State had passed into limbo ot things lost on earth. Here there is no remove, no infinitesimal semblance of excuse or apology, nothing, absolutely nothing. The usurpation pivots on nonentity, al-

TERRE HAUTE DAILY GAZETTE

always excepting the kingly will of the President, which constitutionality is a nonentity. The great artist of Bologne, in a much admired statue, sculptured Mercury as standing on a puff of air. The President has not even a puff of air to stand on.

Mr. Sumner continued, in the.evidence adducted I have confined myself carefully to public documents. On this unanswerable and cumulative testimony, where each part confirms the rest, and the whole has harmony and truth, I present this transgression and here. It is not I who speaks, but testimony. Thus stands the case. International law has been violated in two commanding rules one securing equality of nations, and the other providing against belligerent intervention, while all the distinctive fundamental principles of the Constitution, by which the President is deprived of kingly prerogative, are disregarded, and this very kingly prerogative is asserted by the President. This is the simplest statement. Looking still further at facts, we see that all this great disobedience has for its object the acquisition of an outlying tropical island, with a large promise of wealth and that in carryiug out this scheme our Republic has forcibly maintained a usurper in power, that he might sell his couutry, and has dealt a blow at the independence of the black Republic of Hayti, which, being a wrong to that Republic was au insult to the African race, and all this has been done by prerogative alone, without the authority of an act of Congress. If such a transaction, many-headed in wrong, can escape judgment, it is difficult, to see what securities remain, what other sacred rules of international law may be violated, what other foreign nation may not be struck at, what other belligerent menace may not be burled, what other kingly prerogative may not be seized. Never before has there been such a Presidential intervention in the Senate as we have been constrained to witness.

The President visits the Capitol with appeals to Senators, which have been followed by assemblies at the Executive Mansion, also with appeals to Senators, and who can measure the pressure of all kinds by himself or agents, especially through the appointment of power to secure Congress to this scheme. This do we discern in the acts of the President, whether on the coasts of San Domingo or here at Washington, the same determination with the same disregard of a great principle, and also the same recklessness towards the people of Hayti, who have never injured us. In view of these things, the subject is not of soil, climate, and possibilities of wealth, but exceptional and abnormal proceedingsofourown government. Before condemning the treaty or any question of acquisition, we must at least put ourselves right as a nation, nor do I see how this can be done without retracting our steps, and consenting to act in subordination to abnormal law and the Constitution of the United States. Therefore, on the question of acquisition I say nothing to-day, only alluding to some questions involved. The question whether we will assume the bloody hazards involved in this business, as it b.-is been pursued with our nation's expenditure, for war ships, and trips causing more painful anxieties, while the land of Toussaint S»uver listens to the constant whisper of Independence. And there is still that other question of debts and obligations, acknowledged and unacknowledged, with an immense claim by Hayti, and an unsettled boundary, which I have already called a "blood law suit." These questions I state only. Meanwhile, to my mind, there is something better than 'belligerent intervention and acts of war, with menaced absorption at untold cost of treasure, an effort on our part in the spirit of peace to reconcile Dominica, and establish tranquility through the island. Let it be tried, and our Republic will become an example of the name and civilization which it represents, while republican institutions 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 justly expect the President to unite in such a measure of peace and good will. "He that ruleth his spirit is greater than he that taketh a city," and so the President ruling his spirit in subjection to humane

principles,

interna­

tional law, and the Constitution of his country, would be greater than if he had taken all the islands of the sea.

Mr. Morton said he did not propose to reply to Mr. Sumner at this time, as that would require time and preparation, but simply desired to show that the whole object of Mr. Sumner's elaborate speech was to charge the Presidentand at least two members of his Cabinet with the commission of high crimes and misdemeanors. It had been decided in order to settle the differences of opinion on the •subject to send a Commission to the Isiaud who should report to the country on the subject of annexation and questions therewith connected. Though personally in favor of annexation he had agreed to suspend his judgment until that report was made. It had been thought best to dismiss the matter from politics until that report was made, but this course had not been followed by some, and though he had'declared for one, his willingness to drop the subject if the Commissioners' reporf was unfavorable, the Senator from Massachusetts should have deferred his speech until that report was made, while he did not know anything of its character. He (Morton) felt confident that many of the charges against the President and a large part of the Senator's speech would be answered by that rereport. The vindication of the President upon all the charges here made out would be complete upon a statement of all the facts.

Mr. Morton then had read by the Secretary a dispatch to the United States hy Minister Bassett from the Haytien Minister of Foreign Affairs, assuring him that Hayti had no disposition or desire to interfere with the free will of the Dominicans. The Haytien Government, in violation to the law of nations, had given free passage across its territory to Cabral, aud furnished him with war vessels to attack Dominica, and the United States had merely notified Hayti that while our negotiations were pending with Dominica, we would not allow her to make war on that isiaud. This the United States had a right to do, because our Government had information that organizations were on foot in Hayti todefeatannexation. No one need tell him (Morton) that the Senatorfrom Massachusetts, was the friend of liberty and the colored man, when he so industriously spent his time in an effort to p.it the Democratic party in power. The Senator could not strike a blow at the President without at the same time striking at the Republican party.

Mr. Howe said, to-day the Republican party had experienced that same anguish which swelled in the breast of Caesar when, having already been struck by Casea and Cassius, he saw the third dagger uplifted by the hand of a dear friend, and there was wrung from his agonized bosom this exclamation: Et iu Brute." For to-day we had heard that Senator who had so earnestly urged upon the reluctant Senate to purchase those rugged, far off regions of the North Pole turning a deaf ear to the echoes which brought back his own exultant prophesy, that our city could be nothing

less than the whole American Continent, with her gates open to all the surrounding seas. To-day the Senator arose not only to oppose the annexation of an island at our very doors, but denounces as a criminal a President who has ventured in the exercise of a strictly constitutional prerogative to advise its acquisition. He (Howe) had sought the privilege of entering in an appearance here for that illustrious respondent. He would file no demurrer, nor interpose any dilatory pleas, but preferred a general issue. At this point of his remarks Mr. Howe yielded for an adjournment, when, at 5:30, the Senate adjourned.

Probably it will be some time before a Senator shall again think it needful for him to convert himself into a sort of human calliope, byway of silencing an opponent and supporting the Administration.—New York Tribune.

A story comes from Aberdeen, Scotland, of a young girl who fell in love with a coal black negro, the first of his race she had ever seen. She became so demonstrative towards the object of her passion that to avoid disgraceful consequences her friends induced the African to leave the country, but when the infatuated girl discovered what had been done she took to her bed, refused all food, and finally died of sheer starvation.
