Wilts, treaties, and political controversies, when they hinge on territorial acquisitions, furnish wonderful incitements to geographi cal and statistical studies; and at thia moment a variety of ciroumstancea have combined to render Ban Domingo such a specially inter, eating objeot of investigation that everybody who wishes to keep pace with the times must book himself up, after some fashion, in the history, characteristics, resouroes, and pros peots of the proposed new sable sister. The oommission of inquiry ia at last duly authorized, appointed, organized, and prepared to sail in a few days to bring bask a world of information about the new Eldorado, and meanwhile Secretary Fish has elabo rately rehearsed the story of its intercourse with our own and other nationa from a diplo matic standpoint for the immediato instruc tion of Congress and their constituents. The leading and most material facts involved are substantially as follows: Down in the Caribbean Sea there ia an island variously called Dominica, or San Domingo, divided politically into the Republio of Hayti and the Dominican Republic, by a line identical with a boundary established many yeara ago between the Frenoh and Spanish parts of the island. Tne Ilaytien Republio represents the territory formerly owned by Franoe, and it is not em braced in the proposed annexation scheme. It is the portion of the island formerly owned by Spain, comprising about three-fifths of the whole surface, or 17,000 square miles of territory, and only a comparatively small population, that President Grant ia anxious to acquire and annex, and that Senator Sumner vows should not, must not, and shall not be incorporated into the American Union. The inhabitants of the Spanish portion of the island, or the Dominican Republic, have had a rough time of it. In past times they have been subjected to the rigors of Spanish rule for nearly twenty years, from 1795 to 1814, they were under French domination; after Napoleon's downfall they were trans ferred back to Spain; subsequently they de clared their independence and set up a gov ernment for themselves as the Dominican Republic, and since then they have suffered alike from internal revolutions, oooadonal hostilities with the neighboring power of Hayti, and (only a few years ago) from an attempt of the Spanish Government to resume its ancient sway. Out of thia attempt, with ita difficult complications, on the one hand, and a series of overtures of various descrip tions for a purchase of a portion of their island, made at various times by American administrations, the present projeot for a complete union of thia great Republio with the little Dominioan concern has gradually been developed until it excites as much in terest among politicians as sensation match making among the gossips. Grant, in dabbling in the Dominioan busi ness, by bo means adopted a new idea. He merely continued labors previously begun by Seward, under Johnson's administration. Nor was Seward the first American statesman to cast longing eyes on San Domingo. The coquetting commenced with Folk, in 1815. He was elected on an annexation platform, and not satisfied with gobbling up the "Lone Star" of Texas, together with many leagues of outlying Mexican territory, he took sufficient interest in the condition of Dominica to send down to it a special agent to inquire into its condition, etc, and to despatch thither D. D. Porter, then a lieute tenant of the navy (now Admiral), to travel over and report upon it. Subsequently, under the Pierce administration, George D. MoClellan, then a captain, and sub sequently a major-general in the army of the United States, "was sent down to Dominioa to look out for a harbor, etc., and on the heels of his report efforts were made to negotiate a comprehen sive treaty with that republio, embracing a cession of a harbor in the Bay of Samana, oeal mines, etc, to this country. These efforts were thwarted, however, by the jeal ous interference of the Spanish Minister, aided by the representatives of other foreigu powers, and by a popular revolution whioh deposed a government that was apparently inclined to consummate such a treaty in spite of European aversion to it. The popular feeling against annexation at that time pro bably arose from a dread that thU Govern ment, under the then existing rule, would endeavor to re-establUh slavery; and as Jeff. Davis took a leading part in tne project, this fear was only too well founded, After this early negotiation was broken off, nothing further was attempted in the same direotion until 18G5. Our consular officer there wrote that the influence of our Republio in Dominica was well-nigh omnipotent, and in No vember, 18GC, the Dominioan Secretary of State addressed a confidential letter to Mr. Seward, then the American Seoretary of State, stating that money and arms were badly needed to continue the fight against Spain, which was then progressing, and he desired to know on what terms our Govern ment would furnish such material aid. Out of thia application grew a formal offer on the part of the United States to give 12,000,000, one-half in cash and one-half in armi ant munitions, for the cession to ns of the penin sula and Day of Samana, whioh offer was made .in January, 18G7. The Dominican Government, inrep'y, avowed its readiness to iense to tis the coveted acquisi tion, but refused to sell it; aud soon after wards it was alleged that Dominica had made a treaty with Hayti by which both those powers mutually agreed that neither would alienate any portion of its territory; but Secretary Fish says, in his report to Con grew, that he "now learns with pleasure that the treaty this referred to doos not absolutely conclude." Whether binding or no, at all events, the President of the Dominican republio, after declaring in a public proclamation that he would not cede to us the bay or peninsula of Samana, re ported an offer to lease it, and while this was under consideration, revolutions meanwhile occurring in Dominica, a change in our Gov ernment occurred by Johnson's exit from office and Grant'a inauguration. Hy thia time it is claimed that an annexation party had pprung up in Dominioa. Instead of being so hostile to territorial cessions that even the bay and peninsula could not possibly be alienated, it is claimed that the mass of the population, as well as the rulers, became anxious to transfer themselves bodily, bag and baggage, to our supreme control. It must be confessed that this change of senti ment neem8 suspiciously sudden, but Grant has sent Beveral agents down to boo about it, and they have reported everything all right. The Senate of the United States, however, practically adopted a dif ferent conclusion when they rejected the treaty negotiated by Babcook for the annexa tion of the whole Dominican portion of the island; and now, since in face of its rejestion the present effort to annex by au act of Congress ia being made under the ausptoes of the administration, we chall soon have not only the President and his commissioners, but a hoBt of Congressional debaters telling what they know about Dominica, and the abun dance of their comments will probably lead to a disclosure of tho whole truth, as well as to an animated discussion of all the controverted points involved. Prominent amorjg the latter arc the desirability of tho territory to us, the willingness of the Do minicans to yield it, tho extent of their debt, and the nature of tbeir complications wi'h Hayti and other powers. Sumner conteuds that the project involves a bloody lawsuit; Grant claims that it is n grand speculation. THE LUXEMBOUllQ rALA.CE. A cable despatch announces as one of the results of the bombardment of Paris that the works of art in the Luxembourg palace and ita museum have beeu destroyed. Thia state ment must be tken with many grains of al lowance, as it is understood tbat all the port able works of art in the various palaces and museums of Paris wero long since removed to places of safely, and oven if the Luxem bourg palace haR been penetrated by the Prussian shells, it is scarcely probable that all its art treasures have as yet been de stroyed. Even if the palioe should be made a ruin, with all its contents, the loss will not bo so great as if some of tho other palaces of Paris were the sufferers, as the paintings in the Luxembourg aro by modern artists, and few of them are of equal valno with those de posited in other places. The Luxembourg is situated south of the Louvre, on the other side of the river Seine. It was built by Marie de Medicis, and it was bequeathed by her to hor second son, the Duke of Orleans, from whom it was called the Palais d'Orleans. It subsequently passed into the hands of a number of lordly owners, and at the breaking out of the revolution of 1791 it was occupied by the brother of the king who afterwards became Louis XVIII. The Directory held its sittings there, and it was afterwards occupied by the Consul and the Senate. In 18 18 it was tenanted by Louis Blanc, who held his socialist meetings in it. The palace is in the form of a regular squire. In the centre ef the facade of the Rue do Tournon ia a pavilion, capped by a cupola and embellished with statues. The front towards the gardens presenta three prin cipal buildings connected by two galle ries, one of which was used as a museum for the exhibition of the work of living artists. The Senate of the late Empire held ita sessions in the Salle du Senat, a semicircular hall of ninety feet iu diameter, the ceilings of which are decorated with allegorical piot urea of Patriotism, Wis dom, Justice, and Law. The Salle du Trone is a magnificent saloon, covered with sculp tures and gilding. The most important pic tures in this hall are "Napolean I at the In valides;' "Napoleon I inspecting the forty flags taken at Austeilita;" "The Return of the Pope to Rome in 184!;" "Napoleon III visit ing the new Louvre," and "The Distribution of the Eagles in tho Champ de Mara in 1852." These paintings are by Hesse. The Cabinet de l'Empereur, which adjoined the Salle du Trone, contains several good paintings, the principal of whioh are portraits of the ex Emperor and Empress; "Napaloou I signing the Peace of Campo For mio, "and 4 'Napoleon III returning from St. Cloud. The library of the palace, which is very complete, contains about 40,000 volumes. The bedchamber of Marie de Medicis, a splendidly-furnished apartment, contains some valuable works by Rubeu. Poussin, and Philippe de Champagne. The chapel of the palaoo is small but richly deoo rated and contains some fine paintings, con spicuous among whioh is an altar piece by an American artist, Mr. Simon White, the sub ject being the "Adoration of the Shephords." The Museum or Gallery of Modern Art was f ounded by Marie de MedioU, and formerly con tained twenty-five pictures by Rubens, whioh have been removed to the Louvre. These were allegorical representations of the hiutory of that queen. This gallery now contains a cumber of the best works of living French artists which were purchased by the Govern ment, after eaoh annual exhibition under the selection of a jury of the msmbers of the I n- I etitute. The ceiling of the grand gallery I ornamented with thirteen painting, the centre one, entitled "The Dawn of Day," being the work of Antoine Franooia Callet. The others were executed by Jor daens, the pupil of Rubens, and reprepent the signs of the zodiao. This gallery tonUina tossy great paintings by Horace Vernet, Le Suis, Granet, Doveria, Eugene DVa croix, C. L. Mulier, Rosa Bonhcur, Gudin, Ingres, Gcrome, and other brilliant repre sentatives of the French school of art. This description of the Luxembourg palace and its art treasures of course represents it as it waa previous to the breaking out of the present war and the downfall of tbe Emp re. There is reason to believe that some of the paintings in which the two Napoleons were glorified wero destroyed by the people of Paris themselves, and it ia to be hoped, that as many of the other works of art aa were movable have been placed out of the re ich of the Prussian sheila. The ceiling and wall paiutings, however, and the numeroua deco rations of the palaco must have suffered, if the statement in tbe cable deppstoh a' uded to is correct, and there is really great reason to fear that irreparable injury has br t n done to a beautiful building whioh was both a his torical and artistic monument of the greatest interest. If tho Luxembourg palace baa been reached by shells, there ia much to fjf.r that the Louvre and the Tuileries will nex'. suffer, unless a surrender puts an end to the bom bardment. Wz were unfortunately among those who imagined that Mr. Dechert, notwithstanding the fact that he is a Democrat, would as a member of the Legislature set an example of honorable and fair dealing thit would make his attendance at Harrisbnrg a matter for congratulation with right-thinking men of all parties. Mr. Dechert, however, disappointed his best friends by nominating Ahorn for the important position of Sergeant at-Arms of the Senate; and yesterday ho did a thing that it is impossible to imagine a man with any self-respect could do. Mr. Dechert's seat waa contested, aud in order to prevent tho subject from being discussed in the usual manner, it was proposed to refer it to a special committee of five Democrats and two Republicans, bofore whom it was certain that Mr. Dechert's opponent would have no chance whatever of a fair hearing. The question of reference to this partisan committee was decided by Mr. Dechert's vote. In other words, he voted himself entitled to bis seat in defiance of any evidence that might be brought for ward to support the claims of Mr, Lyndall. With regard to tne merits of the contest for the sent from the First Senatorial district we have nothing to Fay at present, but Mr. Dechert has disgraced himself in the eyoa of all hon orable man by voting in his own case, and deciding that case in his own favor. In a similar instanoe to this in the Senate of the United States, another Democrat, Mr. Stook ton, of New Jersey, attempted the same trick, but he had the grace to be ashamed of him self, and, upon a final vote, very properly de clined to disgrace himself by going upon the reoord as a judge of his own ciuse. Mr, Deohert's performance yestorday was. not a very happy augury for tho f uture of his oareer as a legislator; and if he does not blush for himself, wo can assure him that all his friends in this city whose good opinion is worth having blush for him. Tits Cuinksk in California, A recent examlna tion of tbe Custom Hoase records at haa Francisco shows that in the three years from the first or Jauu arr, 1S2, to the first of January, 1S65, 13,275 Chinese arrived at that port; 7S of these were females, the other rex belog-dlvlded as follows: 11,417 laborers, 891 mechanics, 153 merchants, 144 carpenters, 123 shoemakers, 97 grocers, 65 tanners, C5 miners, 13 tailors, 4 travellers, 1 physIcUQ, 1 Interpreter a;) 447 occupation unknown. In 1335 the arrivals at tlie Bamo port were !J')1, divided as follows: 2MJJ labo rers, 180 merchants, 68 carpenters, 55 grocerj, 27 shoemakers, 5 farmers, and fi mechanics, all males except two. In 18fi the arrivals numbered 8150 males and one female. In 1S37 tliere arrived 37ss males and 7 females; In 1848, 9S63 males and 1G3 females; in 189, 12,830 moles and 1542 females; and In the first nine months of the past year, 3953 males and C33 females. From January 1, l6i, to duptem ber 1, 1870, there departed from San Francisco for Cblnu 18,994 Chinese. Deducting the departures from the arrivals, it will be seen that thre are not over 18,000 Celestials in the whole country, for It must be borne In mind tbat nearly all come by the ratine route, and first touch American soil at San FrarcUeo. That city, too, retains the largest share of them, the ccdmis returns showing a Chinese population of ll,t17, 9777 of whom are males aud 8040 females ; 877 males and 271 females are under Vt j ears of age, and 109 males and 131 females were born in (Julllurnla.
