Eriday, January 21,1870. lent 4Amic ''rEtturrottim. sirrAul4.4.: • • Tiost. • Abe indications are that the Senate Coin anitteo on-Foreign • Itelations will report atl= Tersely to 'the ratification of the treaty for the IPttrohase Sali Domingo. Even if the Con-, mittee should 'take contrary action, We have , • teaseoo believe find a majority of the Sena-: tiers Would "vote against ratification ; while, in t y„,:kio us e, a disposition is shown to, attempt tio defeat the measure by affirming, the right, of, te Douse to lave a 'Voice in such treaty niahing as requires appropriation of money. If this San Domingo scheme is defeated, the canntryWill have reason to be grateful to . ,thee 'Sea Who voted against it. In many respects it is the most unpromising annexation Pyiejeet that has. been devised re eintly by Americans. Even if the Ilorainican .pcople were unanimous in desiring absorption into our, body-politic, it would be a grave question whether we onght to Confer theprivileges of citibenship upon a -strange population diftbring from us in race, kit-manners, ideas .and: language, and so far vernovedifrom any possible influence 'that we scald bring to bear upon them that they must forever remain distinct and peculiar. But it is entirely certain that so far from unanimity of opinion existing in. San ,Domingo in favor ,o annexation, there is really alarge and powerfu ' faction that is opposed most bitterly to such a scheme. This party has protested against. action of President Baez, and accused him of -rascality and treacherrand an intention to, luither selfish interests by, pressing • this measure. This may or may not be true; but • this - much we know: Baez is bit the creature of the last revolution ; he may be tbeyictim of the next; ; and the consumma tion of this bargain and Sale will probably pro voke just such a crisis. If he is : overthrown, his successor will be, likely to: repudiate his bargain, and then we shall 'either - haVe to make a humiliating retreat after losing our Money,•or else tight for the possession of the island. If we could hold it forcibly, simply by an exhibition of power, we should tiud the un dertaking troublesome and. without profit; but the experience of other nations in the island proves that the natives can carry on a desperate guerilla warfare.for years against an enormous force of disciplined- troops. We had better look this possibility in the face, and calculate its Cost befine we undertake to ratify the Baez ire a t ts `• " • • • I Thereis another consideration. The' treatyi l provides for the payment of the Dominicanli national debt by the. United • States Govern ment,, besides the payment of the purchase' money. Nobody, seems to know precisely the size Of that debt. The friends: of the, measure assert that it is not more than half a million dollars ; but in view of the fact that the island has been • cursed with chronic revolution for years, and that there is this very suspicious un certainty about the amount, we take the liberty of"believing that it is very much larger. What . ever its size, however, there is an impression among thoughtful people • that we had better pay our own debts before our to as. some the 'obligations of our neighbors ; and there is the greater need for the practice of this pripciple,in the San Domingo business, be cause certain American speculators, counting open the ratification of the treaty, are already trying to negotiate with Baez at usurious rates .a loan which we will have to pay at par. It is It is hard to say Whether the joke falls• rumored' also that this • entire • annexation heaviest on Virginia or upon the Government - scheme was inspired originally by.certain other antlacirities,• but there is - something mirthful in speculators who have obtained control of the the announcement that a battery and a.de szerPous mineral:wealth of the Island,and are tachment of United Statesortilleryhave been anxious for the purchase, so that they may run • sent from • Fortress Monroe to Richmond to in, their products free of : duty. .

' If anything' is to be done to , avert another water-famine next .summer., very little , tinie is :left to do it in. Four or live' maths - lia;ve been lost in doing nothing, and while there is every reason to an ticipate another dry seasou,, during the coming summer, it is evident that, for UPS year at lett.Str, * the necessities of our citizens must be Met .hr such temporary expedients as can be wised by Mr. Graeff. If "Select Conncil, bow-'eVer, will promptly pass the lean bill,-we4l are very sure that the Chief Engineer will no' time in giving the comMunitythe benefit of the improvements indicated in :big recent report. The resolution itilaVor of. tasting` dummy engines on Market street is a geed one, because it oflers the prospect of getting 'rid of a very great nuisance in one of the principal business thoroughfares of the city. The long teams of struggling and often stubborn mules, now used for the freight trains on Market, street, are a perpetual source of hindrance and annoy ance both to vehicles and pedestrians : , and if they can be superseded dumtny . engines, it 'will be a great improvement and : relief. We can imagine no practical difficulty in the waYOf using these small locomotives. Being Coal-burners, they can be constructed to produce, very little smoke or, sparks, and will be far less dangerous in all respects than the steam fire-engines which are now per mitted to dash, .at full - gallop, through the . streets. . . Mr. Se°field's insinuation its the House of Representatives yesterday, that the . opposition •of Mr.'Dawes to the Leagire Island bill was in spired by a desire to reVenge hiniself ,upon the Pennsylvania members, was in very bad taste, and doubtless altogether unjust. 'We do not believe Mr. Dawes capable •of the petty meanness of yielding himself utterly to the in thience of such an unworthy motive, and for the gratification of miserable spite' sacrificing the public good., But like many other pure men, he is' not superior to sectional jealousy. Mr. DaweS' speech was made in the interest of New England. As in the- case of sortie other individuals from that' 'part of the country, be entertains a - belief, that is doubtless sincere, ;. that a great naval station, if erected at all, should be given to New England, and he is 'willing to make a desperate effort to secure that result. It is not very creditable to such a man that he permits his judgment to be warped ,by such a considers tion,.and that in 'endeavoring to sustain him self in what he feels to be an untenable posi tiOn,be should make a bid for Democratic votes by'assaulting an administration that he knows is pure, and a true, representative of i bis own party. Upon :these latter points Mr. Scofield might have attacked Mr: Dawes fairly and for cibly. But it is not only ungenerous;`. but 1 hurtful to his own , cause, to inapnte to his ad versary motives which could not be proied, and for which indeed there seems to be 'not even'the slightest foundation. . vr ; , but we doubt it he is at all eoinpetent to dis cuss the plainest legal point involved In the controversy. When Mr.. Gladstone desires have his government represented , ift Washing ton, pending negotiations twin any of the above subjects, it is likely that he will send a statesman for the purpose, and not trust the traatte,r to the hands of a puling prinCe, viho belongs to a family not at all remarkablefo sagacity or common sense. , 0 • Mother of the periodical attempts to defeat the erection of the public "m 1 1 .411148 Was made ? in Select Council ? , yesterday; by Mr. Shoe maker, who iviehed to re-open the whole THE , DAMY)WiII/ 1 114 4 3 11111,111114=-1 1 iliabier ,1 'illA , FAJDAY, JANIMAY a t 1870. question, With the ailowett , Vi'ew of separating the public buildings from each other as widely as possible.;,'The movement, we' tire glad to see, was 'promptly' defeated, and it is to be hoped that Ootincils will now take hold of this grand municipal imprOyelutnit with etirdial good will, and further the action of the Build ing.

It appears that during a concert at Rio c Aarieiro, while play. ng One of his newest compositions, called " - La Morte,' he fell senseletts. Hp was taken to Ticpia, -where, aftor lingering three weeks, he died on The 18th bf Pecembor. lie was about fbrty yearq of agii; haying been born in New Orleans in 1829. He was educated in Paris, and made his first - public appearance as a Manila, in April, i 845 "..He trAyeibd for Several years in Europe, giving , concerts, and in January, 1853, gave his first one in America,. at „New 'York. in the following spring he came to Philadelphia, and, we well remetiber how he delighted and astonished a choice company at a private re ception'at Joneit'ia Hotel; and'hoW at his, sub; sequent concerti in the Musical Fund Hall he inatle , a sensation such as no native artist had . ever before created., From that time ho has had a succession. 4;:lf • triumphs ,in Europe and America.

His ,brilliancy of fingering was marvellous ; ana yet indelicate passages he could make the piano "Mn"g in a way surpassed by not other artists. AB a •com poser be was decidedly original. Among hie earlier efforts were arrangements of Creole melodies, such, as the', ".Savarie" and the " Bananier," which were very quaint and beautiful. Among his later and more ambitious' works are his " Marche de Nuit" Grande Marche Solennelle," the "Chant dn Soldat," " Mnrnmros Eolions," "Ojos Criollm," an arrangeFo'nnt 6.f . the William T 612 oyeitura for 'fourb nds, besides many "ballades," caprices; noetiirifes, and some songs. Most of these are very popular and are in the repertoire of . every competent and ambitions pianist. Mr.' Gottschalk was never married. Death of Gottschalk the Pianist. DRAJIIATIC. At the Walnut the romantic military drama. Not Guilty is still drawing immense audiences, and it is peculiarly , nnfortunate that 'Mr. Hemphill will be compelled to with draw it shortly in the very climax of its snc cess. ' This is Made necessary bythe• fact that another play. was purchased for this season, and 'has beenin rehearsal for some time past. As tharemaining weeks of the season are filled with . engagements made . last fall, My. Hemphill will he compelled. either to . sacrifice his new . drama,* which has eost a great deal' of `money, or to 'Withdraw Not Gti il ly when it . is most profitable'. The new play ' was written by Messrs. Harry Leslie and ,John S. Clarke. It is entitled LondOn ; or Lights. end Shadotos of the Grettt City., It ikof a remantic, sensational character, and is said to contain many very powerful situations, excellent characters, and .opportunity for•iitrong dramatic' effects. The scenery was painted in London under the int.: mediate supervision of the authors. It is un commonly handsome, and some' of the effects are novel. • The day of the pioduction is not announced, but it will probably be presented during next week. lIASELTINE'S FINAL SALE.—Mr. Scott will conclude this • evening the sale of fine art . stock at the galleries of Mr. C.

WOUEION, From late foreign files we clip the following items Of intereSt : One of the fathers of the tEcumenical GOnncil; it is said, has been arrested and sent to the priion of the Holy Office. The pre tended prelate is accused of having assumed the name and tithe of a bishop of a distant see, whether by consent of the prelate in question or by an audacious uSurpation, may perhaps be ascertained by a secret inquiry, but the result will probably never be made known. It is fancied at Rome that the culprit is a spy. of some foreign government. The Paris: Grtulois announces the death of Mule: Gales, wife of the former Director of the CoToules under Louis Philippe, and daugh ter of General Foy. She has been interredat Pe're-la-Chalse, In the grand septilehre, -- the well-knewn work of David of Apgers;erected in 182.1,'by national subscription,,,to' the great orator of the Liberql party. . - ' The Go/os, of St. Peter/lbw, lsays :" We are informed that the Coyerriment had recently: under considerationa proposal to authorize all Polish refuge ,either ditrlng the last re, volt or in prevfous insurrections, to return to their homes<<The suggestion. after a serious deliberation, was declared to be inadmissible and ill-timed," :The Prits,iian Government flas given orders f - or the construction of a new iron-dad frigate for the North German navy in the naval ecitab lishment atEllerbeek, near Kiel.

' and three twen ' ty-filur-pounders, each weighing SO ewe The Great Elector is now being fitted out at Wil helmshaven. • • The Madrid Politica of December 81 Makes the following' announcement : ""On the ar rival last night of Gen. _Prim at Madrid, he found a despatch (not telegraph) awaiting him frona Seiler 31M:demur, the Spanish Ambas sador to Italy, in which be explains exten sively the reasons Victor Emmanuel has for not accepting the offering, of the Crown of Spain for the• Duke of Genoa. The Council of Ministers of Italy have been unanimous on this point. The mother of the young Duke is also opposed to the heavy charge of ruling a people so agitated as the Spaniards being laid on his weak shoulders. In these circumstances what other could a constitutional King decide?. What more could -Seiler . Montemar do. who has worked this point - with a perseverence and an ability • 'worthy of a better cause? Such are in sub stance the contents of the despatch of Seilor Montemar, and it is an ampliflcatioa of the late telegrams received by the Minister of State." The Cologne Gazette relates a horrid story as enacted at Schrimm, in the government of Posen. A country girl, living not far from that place, had received her inheritance of 300 dialers from the authorities there. On her return home she spent the night in a village having no residence there she took refuge at the house of the village, justice, to whom in virtue of his position, she gave her whole confidence, and informed him of the object of her journey. He was ready to take her in, and asked her to go to bed with his wife. When all lay is-.- a - deep sleep the covetous host got up, went into 'the garden, And dug a hole there. He then took a sharp knife, went up to the bed where the two were asleep, and with a steady hand cat the throat of the person lying furthest from the wall, took up his victim and buried her in the garden. When he came back he found the bed'empty. He bad murdered his own wife instead of the stranger. The wife lay ()hiss to the wall during the evening, but had, after ward moved to the outer side of the bed. The girl had got out of bed after the murder, and hastened away with her money.. IMPERIAL FRANCE. 44 What Le Promised hi 1870." The Slide, under the heading of " What is Promised in 1870," publishes the subjoined observations : "The presentyear will have to reform not only the law on the press, but also that on elections. At the moment when offi cial candidatures are said to have passed away, a Minister presents himself to the electors of the Lot-et-Garonne, in a circumscription where the Government candidate was in the habit of triumphing. Should we not get mid at once of all arbitrary circumscriptions aid transmissions of legislative seats? Should we not also make the number of Deputies commensurate with that of 'the electors? The year 1870, if it only prac tioes the constitution with a little sincerity, ought to give to Paris the fourteen or fifteen deputies to which the capital has a right, and also te elect its own.municipal councillors. The administrators of the commune of °Paris should not be nominated by the deputies of departmental circumscriptions. The Year 1870, according to the programmes of the elected of 1869, ought also to deliver, us from article 75, and restore to functionaries as to all other citizens, that personal responsibility . which, is the only pledge of a sound administration. We take notice also of the savings promised us in the budget. But what we require is not merely a few trifling economies, but a severe revision of our financial laws and a more pru dent distribution of the national reSonroes) al lotting more millions to useful undertaicinlis and fewer to those of a fruitless character. The same year also we are told, is to promul gate for us a sound municipal law, giving to the commune all facilities for doing good, transporting the real authority into the muni eipal council itself, and assigning to the Mayor, its delegate, his true role—that of the exedutive power. Moreover, 1870 is tolnruish us with a real legislation on gratuitous and ebiligatory instruction, and that perhape is the most essential point of all." .1.T41TR1) . ...:.:0)1!;.rittN..'

Jan. 21.—A good deal of arnuacment was created in the House,after the, close of the morning hour, by the manner in which General Butler was outwitted and pre vented from making his, speech in reply to Mr. Dawes. Butler moved that the House go Into Committee of the, Whole, which was 7 'carried after meeting with opposition from 'the Democratic side of the House. General. Butler then arose, . and the members -commenced to crowd around him to .hear his remarks. At this state of aftairs, Mr. Wilson, of Ohio, rose and called Wren_ tion to the fact that when, the Hou.se was in Cominittee of the Whole last time, the under standing, was that he (Wilson) should be en titled to the floor when the House , next re solved itself into a Committee of the Whole, and therefore he now claimed this light. The chair sustained him, ;and amid shouts ' of laughter, Mr. Wilson took from his desk a manuscript Speech and commenced to read it, declining to yield the floor, thus forcing Mr. Butler to take his seat. Butler admitted that he was oat 'generaled and took it good-naturedly. The House Military Committee have agreed among themselves to take up and revise all bills which have been offered this session rela five, to the army, with the purpose to make radical changes in the organization and man agement of the army and its present relation to civil authorities. It is the intention , of the committee to • press the passage of a , bill which will have the,effect to, weed out of the army all incompetent officers„ and reduce the aupernumiarary staff-officers, and largely. re duce the present expenses of the Government. The galleries of the Senate were again crowded with speetators,to hear the debate on the Virginia question.

Also, a memorial in favor of a Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution, giving worsen the right to vote. Referred to the Judiciary Committee. Mr. Pomeroy presented a petition of like import, to permit the exercise of the elCctive franehise by citizens now deprived of the right. Referred to the Judiciary Committee. Mr. Morrill (Vt.), in presenting a petition for the abolition of the franking privilege, Said that an idea had been generally, dissend- Sated by means of circulars sent out by the tostmotter-General,that Senators and Repre ntatives were guilty of gross frauds in, their abuse • of the frank ing privilege. So far as he was personally concerned, he did not believe any fraud had been practiced in the manner complained of. He would favor the proposed reform, but did not believe any material saving would be effected thereby, as mails would have, to be tarried, and if tne Government did not pay from it out of one pocket, it out would of the other. ; Mr. Wilson thought Congress should feel grateful to the Post-Office Department for its efforts to aid in abolishing that which experi ence had shown to be a burden rather than a privilege for Congressmen. Mr. Cole did not favor the, abolition of the Privilege as a measure of economy; believing that mail contracts would not be reduced in the amount of expense to the Government by the reform. Be intimated that he was not averse to the proposed change as an , experi ment. • Mr. l3ayard said he had been informed by a postmaster whose name appeared among the signerk to petitions for the abolition of the franking privilege, that he had taken action in the, matter under instructions,frona which the inference was that he had been instructed by his official chief. He recognized among the signers several of his constituents, who, within two weeks, had received, under frank, public documents which in bulk counterbalanced the whole of the mail matter to which his own corres pondence would amount ,during the' entire session. ` Mr. Thurman presented a petition on the Same subject, and said that the Postaaaster- General, in printing and sending to his 18,000 subordinates throughout the country, holding their positions not by the confirmation of the Senate but at his own pleasure, instructions to procure signatures of petitions to influence Congressional action, was guilty of an action ivhich bad no precedent in this or any other country. lie thought this a departure from iticial propriety, and remarked that there bad been a time when the Congress of the 'United States would not have quietly tolerated Ituilveonduct by the head of a Department, or an attempt by any authority or the Govern ment to forestall public opinion and preVent a proper investigation:7 FIFTH EDITION. 4:30 010100 k BY ,- 'ndiEMkPH.

Mr. Thurman Said that the matt& seemed a proper subject of legislation, and not merely declaratory action, in view; of the probability _of a legal'. construction 'hereafter, that tbe law imposing the tax had 'already expired by limitation. Re expressed grave doubts of the effect of a declaratory act as a means of 208118. citation.. lie desired if any remedy was ap plied, it should notbe an inefficient one. Mr. Fayard expressed his'iawillingness to assume the position of construing.a law ? with out regard to the effect hereafter to be ,given to it, believing the:Tudiciary Department alone could afford, the desired remedy.

After several bills had been reported' and acted on, Mr. Batter (Mass.) moved to reconsider the vote by which one of 'them passed." He said he proposed to 'call the attention of the Howie briefly to the matter of the finances, which might be afflicted by theae bills. He did so with some reluctance, because he was obliged to review the statement of his colleague, Mr. Dawes, which was calculated to make, and had in fact made, a false itriprea sion on the country, however little that may have been intended. The whole argument, of the learned chairman of the Committee on Appropriations had come from a false under standing of the facts. . • ' A point, Of artier tv as . made by Xr., Ben jamin (31o.);and afterward fts Mr. Randall, that the remarks of the gentlemen from Mos sachnsetts were not in order, as being irtele, vant to the question before the How.
