LONDON,
Rose Esq.,
Secrist,
an employe at Sliewinaker's warehouse, reported as having had $44-5 stolen from him under very peculiar nirp.nmsbi.noes. found it, minus $16, yesterday, much to his joy. It appears that he has been secreting his money in a tin box, which box he placed in a barrel in the second story of the building. Saturday lie went to make a deposit in the box, and was mortified to find that the money and box were both missing. Since that time, until yesterday, he has had the entire police force and one Gotleib Reiss, an exCity Marshal, working up the case. Yesterday afternoon a young man was arrrested on a charge of having stolen the money. An examination was had before His Honor Mayor Cookerly, the young man proving that he was at another place at the time the money was supposed to have been stolen. Of course the young man was honorably acquitted. Last evening he discovered it on the lower floor under an old piece ot carpet. He claims that $16 was taken therefrom. The officers have had a rather fruitless search.

WASHINGTON,

March 29.—Sau Do
mingo Commissioners Wade, White and Howe, arrived here night before last, accompanied by Secretary Benton, General Scigel and Fred Douglass, Dr. Wheelwright and Captain Wade, Clerks to the Commissioners, Dr. Perry, Naturalist, and three or four newspaper correspondents, and the two stenographers of llie expedition.
Mr. Wade was taken sick on Sunday night, on the cars, with pleurisy, and was unable to sit up yesterday. Upon his arrival he was conveyed to the residence of Vice President Colfax. The attack, although not of a serious character, is sufficient to cause great anxiety on the part of his friends, who fear Wade's age and full habits may prove serious obstacles to his recoverv. At. a late hour last night hp was much better, and his recovery deemed certain.
A correspondent telegraphs It seems to be the general opinion of the Commissioners that annexation cau not take place without involving us in a war with Hayti. Baez admitted to the Commissioners that there are one thousand square miles of territory belonging to the Dominican Republic, and lying contiguous to Hayti, under control of Cabral and his followers. It is stated that Baez did not make any effort to allow the Commissioners to meet Cabral, but on the contrary, that he assured them that he could not aflord them any protection if they visited that part of the island where Cabral had his sway. The Commissioners and those who accompanied them, speak in highest terms of the islaud, its climate and productions, but appear to entertain... a very poor opinion of the people, who are described as indolent, superstitious, and exceedingly undesirable in their present condition as an addition to the population of the United States. The impression is that the reportof theCommission, when submitted to Congress, will not materially strengthen the position assumed by the friends of annexation.
Commission had not, up to noon today, called on the President. The report is now being written out from short hand notes. Sigel called at the executive mansion this morning.
The Sau Domingo Commissioners have agreed upon their report, excepting upon the subject of health and the debt of the Dominican Republic. They may not be ready to report to the President before Thursday.

COXUKESMOMAL SUMMARY.
WASHINGTON,
March 28.
Senate.
Mr. Sumner presented a memorial asking for the adoption of such measures as will secure a court of nations, where all questions shall be decided without arbitrament of the sword, and urging that in points at issue between England and the United States, every effort be made to avoid war between the two countries.
Under the rule of the Senate prohibiting general business, the memorial, instead of being referred to a committee, was laid on the table.
Mr. Sumner offered the following resolution WHEKEAS,
It is represented that Fred
erick Douglas, and his son were excluded from the common privileges of travelers on the mail steamer between Acquia Creek and Washington, on account of their color, therefore be it
JZesolv&i, That the Committee on the District of Columbia are hereby in structed to inquire into the facts of this case, and to consider what remedy can be applied to prevent a repetition of such treatment on afcountof color.
The Vice President said the resolution could not be received without unanimous consent.
Mr. Bayard objee'ed, and the resolution was not received. Upon the expiration of the morning hour, the Senate resumed the consideration of the unfinished business of yesterday, being Mr. Sumner's resolution on San Domingo.
Mr. Howe continued his reply to Mr. Sumuer's indictment of the President, in a general denial of Mr. Sumner's aceusa tious. He contended that instead of at tempting to sell his country, as charged, Baez has furnished an example worthy of imitation in subordinating his personal aggrandizement, as a ruler, to bring peace to his country by annexation. The proposed sale to the United States, instead of a violation of the Con stitution of Dominica, was in direct accordance with it, because the transfer was to be made not at the arbitrary discretion of that Government,-but in deference to the popular will of that country. The United States was bound under the law of nations and by a clause iu the original negotiation, to insure the preser vation of peace between Hayti and Dom inica, and a notification to that effect was no more unfriendly to Hayti than to any other country, for it was addressed to the world at large. In conclusion, Mr. Howe contended that the mission of the Republican party was not ended, and he would advise the men who wonld engage in its destruction to take his position with thecommon enemy, and not Judaslike, to stab in the back the party to which he professed to belong.
Mr. Frelinghuysen, after eulogium on jbk iniS Was Hit man upuu hum all llW! vituperative adjectives of the vocabulary were heaped. He then iuquired for what purpose the Senator from Massachusetts had precipitated this discussion from which aloue Congress and the public could orm a correct judgment.
Mr. Sumner said if the Senator desired it hn would answer now. The Senator rr«.m Wisconsin (Howe) had complained because he had brought this matter forward, the Senator (Frelinghuysen) because he did not postpone it. He (Sumner) would take counsel of neither Senator, l-ut of his own heart. Knowing that there was a system of lawlessness on the coast of St. Domingo, under drect order of the President of the United States, he felt it his duty to express it. There were some cases in which exposures were sufficient, and he felt this was one, and that the American people only needed to «ee the wrong to apply the remedy.
Mr. Frelinghuysen, as a sufficient answer to Mr. Sumner's strictures upon the course of the Secretary of the Navy, nad read from the desk a dispatch of that official to Admiral Lee.
Mr. Schurz then took the floor. He did not think the report of the Commissioner which had just returned from a pleasant jaunt to San Domingo was likely to prove very influential, either iu the Senate or before the country, for he thought the treaty had already been effectually disposed of. The Senator from Wisconsin (Howe,) had displayed wonderful knowledge of ancient and modern history, and not content with destroying Cajsar, Cassius, and prominent men of our own time, he had mercilessly used his hatchet upon the Senator from Massachusetts.
The Senator's purpose was to show that public men had not declined in popular estimation until they had manifested symptoms of their own mental deterioration. But in this matter the trouble was not so much a want of mental strength on the part of the Senator from Massachusetts as it was a want of moral strength on the part of many other Senators. If it was proven that orders had been issued to our naval commanders, in gross violation of the Constitution, then something more than mere rhetorical flourishes about General Grant's services or about the Secretaries of State and the Navy, would be required to answer the proof.
Mr. Schurz proceeded to argue that under the constitutional clause resting in Congress the war making power, the executive could not commit an act of war unless in case of actual invasion of the territory of the United States, or by express Congressional authority. The instructions of the President to our naval forces directing them, in certain contingencies, to tire upon the vessels of Hayti, a power with which we are at peace, was most clearly a usurpation of war making
^Ir^reply to inquiries of Messrs. Howe and Stewart as to whether discretionary power was not vested in the President, Sir. Schurz added that if those Senators would turn to the debates in the Senate in February, 1859, they would find that President Buchanan had asked for discretionary power to protect our citizens in transit over the Isthmus of Panama, and the Senate had indignantly refused it. It was most audacious to contend (for that was the logic of it) that the President had power to steal the warmaking power away from Congress. The fact was that President Grant had fallen into a mistake in supposing that he was the Uuited States of America. The doctrine that the President could commit belligerent acts without authority of Congreas, and give, as an excuse for it a condition of affairs iu Hayti and Dominico, was the most absurd, mischievous and anti-republican doctrine ever advanced on the floor of the Senate.
4.,^
ted it should be sifted to the bottom. It smacked very strongly of what was called in France personal government.
The Senator from Massachusetts (Sumner) had been complained of for bringing the matter to the attention of the Senate but in his (Schurz) opinion, he deserved the gratitude of the whole country for so doing. But the supporters of the President seemed to have admit ted the constitutional argument to be against them, and they had fallen back, as a last resort, ^pon the weak and dangerous support of precedent. The only one referred to in our own history was that of the acquisition of Texas, during the administration of John Tyler, and when John C. Calhoun was Secretary of State. The President's case was indeed a desperate one when his apologists sought refuge iu such company. But Tyler and Calhoun asked to be excused from their company, because President Tyler, at that time, asserted that he had no authority to use force for the acquisition of Texas without the assent of Con
gress. His declaration was that he would use all his constitutional means to prevent Mexican interference, pending negotiation, and that matter would be referred to Cougress, when it met, for such action as it might deem proper. He did not order Uuited States vessels to batter down Mexican towns, or sink their ships, but left the exercise of that power to Congress.
An animated and long colloquy here ensued between Schurz and Morton, upon the proper interpretation of the dispatel from our Government, informing our di plomatic representatives in Mexico that the United States would regard with dis favor any attempt on the part of that Government to interfere with Texas dur ing the pendency of negotiations.
Mr. Schurz contended that nothing more than ordinary diplomatic corres pondence was addressed to Mexico, which could bear no analogy to the acts of the present Government, while Mr. Morton insisted that it was a direct threat of war, and was so regarded at the time by both governments, and that Benton, many years afterwards had so construed it.
While occupying the floor. Mr. Schurz was repeatedly interrupted by different Senators upon constitutional questions and was frequently prompted by Mr Sumner, whose seat is in his vicinity Before Mr. Schurz concluded, the Senate went into Executive session, and at fifteen minutes after five adjourned.
House.
Mr. Cox presented a resolution from J. D. Henderson and other citizens ofLittle Falls, New York, referring to an outrage on a colored citizen, and representing that Gov. Hoffman is a Democrat and might pardon, asking for a regiment of troop*, and that a proper bill be passed by Congress without reference to the Constitution.
Mr. Shellabarger, from the select Committee ou the President's message, reported a bill to enforce the provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, and for other purposes. The following is the full text of the bill:
Be it euacted, &c., that any persons, who, under color or combination whether, principals or accessories, shall be deemed guilty of felony, upon conviction thereof shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding $10,000, or imprisonment not exceeding ten years, or both, at the discretion of the Court provided that if any party or parties to such conspiracy or combination shall in furtherance of such common design commit the upon ufinTT snffir ifpflt.h and provided also, that any offence punishable under on act beguu in one Judicial district of the United States and completed in another, may be dealt with, inquired of, tried, determined and punished in either district

and provided also, that the provisions of this section shall not be in force after the 1st of June, Anno DomiuilS72.
SEC.

shall be construed to supercede or repeal any former act or law, except so far as the same may be repungent thereto, and any offences heretofore committed against the tenor of any former act shall be prosecuted, and any proceeding already commenced for prosecution thereof shall be continued and completed the same as if this act had not been passed, except so far as the provisions of this act may go to sustain and validate such proceedings.
The bill was read the first and second time when the Speaker said the question was now on ordering it to be engrossed and read a third time.
The bill was debated until 3:30 o'clock, when the House adjourned.
THE SINKING FUND DISTRIBUTION LAW. —A large number of distinguished members of the legal fraternity met, last evening, in the consultation rooms of the Supreme Court, to discuss the validity and constitutionality of the law for the distribution of the sinking fund to le several counties of the State. The argument was heard before Judge Tarkington. Attorney General Hanna opened the case with carefully prepared and elaborate argument, by reciting the history of the law and sustaining the validity thereof. He was followed by Hon. Joseph E. McDonald in a clear and able argument, to sustain the injunction which had beengranted in the Superior and Civil Circuit Courts. He was followed by Hon. S. E. Perkins, upon the same side, with an elaborate argument, that was not finishe at half-past 11 o'clock, at which time the court adjourned to meet this morning in the rooms of the Civil Circuit Court, when Judge Perkins will continue his argument. Hons. D. W. Voorhees and W. R. Harrison will follow, and the argument will be closed to-day. Messrs. Nichol «fe Jordan are associated with the Attorney General and Mr. Voorhees, on behalf of the Au ditor of State, in maintaining the law.— Indianapolis Sentinel.
This looks business-like, and we have faith that this important question may be decided at once or at as early a date as possible, as it is one of very great interest to the people of Indiana.

No person can take these Bitters according to directions and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, and the vital organs wasted beyond tliepointof repair.
They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, possessing also, the peculiar merit of acting as a powerful agent, in relieving Congestion or inflammation of the Liver, and all the Visceral Organs.
