THE SAN DOMINGO SCHEME.
The time allotted for the ratification of the
San Domingo treaty expires to-morrow ; and
although there is no doubt that Baez, in his in
tense anxiety to secure annexation, will con
sent to an extension of the time, it may be re
garded as pretty certain that if the treaty is 'not
approved by the Senate to-day or to-morrow, it
will never be ratified. It is very bard to de
termine, even now, exactly what are . the
chaces of the success of the scheme. It has
for its friends a number of influential men
in the Senate, among them Senator
Morton ; but its opponents, led by. Sena
tor Sumner, are able, ardent and deeply
in earnest. We believe that these latter
represent truly the sentiment of the mass of the
intelligent people in this country, and that their
triumph in this contest would be hailed with
delight.', ~ Thoughtful men regard with evil.
forebodia a scheme which threatens to add to
our popntation a million people of another
race of different eolitical ideas, customs, lan-
guage and religion; which imposes apon us the
government of such a community, fax removed
as this is from the direct .influence of our insti
tutions; which compels us to expend a large
sum of money instantly, and makes us respon
sible for the debts of another nation,and which
promises to embroil us in a ceaseless war for
the retention of our rights after we have ac
quired them.
Besides these considerations there is a degree
'of uncertainty about the whole matter which
is very suspicious. We are to make ourselves
responsible for a debt of the size of which we
know nothing at all. It has been stated at
half a million of dollars; but we have before us
official figures which assert that the debt
amounts to more than ten millions ; and it is
well known that the Baez government, in an
ticipation of annexation, has been negotiating
in London, at a heavy discount, a loan which
we will have to pay at par. More than this,we
have no assurance whatever that this treaty
has the approval of the people of San Do
mingo. We know that the Constitution under
which Baez bolds his office positively prohibits
the sale of any portion of the territory, and there
is, upon the Dominican statute books, a law
declaring that the man who proposes the alien
ation of any part 'of the soil is a traitor. Au
election has been held in some portions of the
island, and the returns are *unanimously in
fever of the scheme. The fact itself is suspi
cious. In a fair election there would at least
have been an appearance of opposition"; and
we have eatrea.son to doubt the truthfulness
of these returns, because exactly the same re
sult was secured when President Santana sold
the island to Spain, and yet the Spaniards
cculd only hold the lAand by force, and were
at last 'driven from it, after great loss 'of life I
and treasure. We are afraid that Basiz's
ton was rea-vared as this one was, and dees i
tot reement the popcla' r will* any more cur
reedy. Bras even if these isere all honest votes,
the e'lectkr, cannot be regarded as per
foxily als, bet:wait, for more than eight .
months Nat, Cabral. the revolutionary leader
has ruled the whole southern province, which,
.contains thirty-five or forty thousand people
and several 'arge and important towns. These
have not been heard from, and there is good
reason to believe that they support Cabral,
their ruler, in his fierce opposition to the Ba.z
scheme._ of annexation. Our government,
taking this fact for granted, sent Admiral Poor
to San Domingo to inform Cabral that any
demonstration on his part or from his people
against the scheme would be resisted by the
United States. It is ominous that this threat
was necessary. If there had been absolute
unanimity among tire sub:isles of Baez, we
need not have feared'the interpesenion of. Ca
bral. lien who are as eager for the success of
any scheme as Baez's people are said to be for
annexation, do not require to be kept out of
the reach of the arguments and entreaties oe
their brethren of opposite opinions. -
It is to be feared, too, that this first warlike
act of our Government is but the prelude to
others of a much more serious character. We
believe that if this treaty is retitled we shall
have to hold San Domingo by force. Cer
tainly we shall have Cabral and his adherents
for enemies, to begin with ; and he will 'rejoined
by all the disaffected Dominicans and assisted
by the people—perhaps by the government—
'of Hayti. The advocates .of this treaty might
as well face the fact that its ratification ipeans
war, upon a larger or smaller scale. We need
not discuss at length the questions involved in
these coesiderations. Nothing is better asiiired
than the fact that we do not want another war
of any kind, with any people, for any purpose
whatever; and it is equally certain that we
cannot afford to assume the payment of the
• debts of any nation, no matter what their
amount may be, while our own people
are struggling under heavy burdens. If
it is absolutely necessary to the well being of
this nation that we should possess au island in
the West Indies, we can buy St Thomas for a
small sum, and be assured of the good will of
the inhabitants ; if we wish a larger island,
Cuba can be had merely for the trouble of
recognition of the rebels, or at the worst, at
the coat of half the fighting which will have to
be done in San Domingo. Oni: own opinion
is that we have enough territory now ; and
.
that this business of ,
annexation should be
abandoned entirely. But even Cuba would be
better than San Dom ngo, and much less
costly. We hope the Renate will refuse to
ratify the treaty, even if it has to forgive to
Baez the $150,000 already paid him on
account.
A LEGISLATIVE /MYSTERY.
We publieh, to-day, it bill in reference to the
collection, of outstanding taxes in this city,
about which there is a most disagreeable
mystery. This bill creates a new officer to be
appointed by the Receiver of Taxes, who is to
hold office for three years, the Receiver of
Taxes himself only holding . office for two
years. ' . This Collector is clothed with very
great powers, and becomes, so far as the emolu
ments of the office are concerned, the real
Receiver of Taxes.. This bill is certified as
having been passed by both houses of the
Legislature and signed by the Governor.
With the merits of the bill itself we are not,
just now, chiefly concerned: Its extraordinary.
feature consists in the well-founded charge that
no such bill has ever been passed by the Legis
lature I It is boldly asserted by gentlemen
eminently qualified to express an opinion on
the subject, that this bill, by a clever trick of
legerdemain, has been foisted upon the
Speakers of the Senate and Assembly, in place
of a very different bill that was passed, early
last week, and that this bill, which went to the
Governor in due form, and received his signa
ture, was never before the Legislature at all,
much less has it ever received the considera
tion of that body,
That our readers may judge for themselves
as to this extraordinary piece of legislative .
jugglery, we will state what we have learned
about ite history, premising that our sources of
information are both direct and reliable.
The heads of several of the Committees of
Councils in this city have had the subject of
the non-collection of taxes under serious con
sideration for some time past, and they re
cently agreed upon a bill, conferring upon
Councils such of, the present powers of the Re
ceiver of Taxes as were thought necessary to
enable Councils to secure the collection of these
outstanding taxes. This bill was presented,
and referred to the Committee on Municipal
Corporations, and was then either stolen or
lost. At any rate, it disappeared,
- and a duplicate was Prepartd T in
its place. This second bill came back to the
House, with an amendment conferring the ap
peititment of collectors upon the Receiver.
This amendment was stricken out, and the bill
passed.. It went to the , Senate, and was passed
there also. At this point it diSappears from
view, and is no more heard of. But, to the
amazement and consternation of the authors
of the bill, they get, in its place, the bill which
we print to-day, and which bears a much less
resemblance to the bill which they passed than
chalk does to green cheese.. Inquiry was at
once made at Harrisburg, but no one seems
able to throw any light on the subject. No
one has any recollection of seeing or voting
for the bill, while those who were actively in
terested in the bill prepared by the committees
of Councils flatly deny that any such bill as
this vas (Ter before the Legislature in any
shape.
The matter will be made the subject of
immediate and searching investigation. if it
is susceptible of being cleared up, we shall be
most happy to aid in explaining it to the public.
We hear of no one as being connected with
this remarkable feat of legislative legerdemain,
and certainly knoiv of nobody capable of per
petrating such a fraud. But, unless our in
formants.are the victims. of some unacconnta
ble delusion, we have simply narrated facts
which actually occurred at Harrisburg last
week. ^
Until the mystery is cleared up, it is not
'worth while to discusi the merits of the bill
alleged to have been passed. If the tale as
told to us, he true,—and we can find no
ground, as yet, for doubting it,—the bill will
he repealed, for no member of the Legislature
can possibly hesitate as to his duty, even if he
should fitlly approve the bill itself. If the tale
he not true; if this Important bill really did go
thro4,b both Houses, without those who were
Incst directly interested in it knowing anything
about it. it will be time enough to look care
fully into some of its leading features and to
determine whether it is such au economical,
judicious and fair measure as all right-minded
citizens would desire to see applied to the im
portant question cf the collection of taxes in
Philadelphia.
CABLE TRANII.
• . The news-gatherer, in London, for the New
Yoik Associated Press, is, sometimes "hard
up" for items. But when lie fails to learn any
important fact which the American public
would liketo know, he can often fall back on
a horse-race. But winter not being a racing
season, be looks around the sporting. world,
and exercises his genius in reports of prim
fights or billiard-matches. Lately he gave some
stunning reports of games of English billiards,
especially referring to certain extraordinary
runs on the " spot-ball "—a kind of game
which has long been forbidden among Ameri
can hilliardists. lie seems to have had warn
ing from his employers that the public here do
not care a fig for English billiards and spot-ball
performances, and for some days the billiard
department•of the New York cable news has
been abandoned.
Driven to his wits' end for material for his
despatches, and not being able to discriminate
between what is important and what is not so,
the Associated Press newsmonger still is .ab!e
to recur to the editorial columns of the Lon
don papers, and forthwith he proceeds to an
nouncethat the Times thinks so-and-so of our
Mormon policy, or of the Darien ship canal, or
of our finances, or of our railroad system; just
'as if the opinions of a cockney journalist on
our affairs were worth half a 3 much as those
of an average American citizen above the
grade of an idiot. In fact, although
the London Times is called the
leading journal of Europe, and al
though it has been considered, to have great
influence, its opinions on American topics have
nearly always been wrong, either wilfully or
ignorantly, it matters not which. At alleventa,
on this side of the ocean they have ceased to
have any weight, and our papers quote less
from it than from other London journals.

THE BONAIWOCIWraraur"
Prince Pierre Bonaparte has been acquitted
of the charge of murdering Vidtor Noir, :in the
High Court tit Tours. The jury was out only
one hour, and then rendered a verdict of not
The Prince Is still held on a demand
for damages, which are put at 100,000 francs,
or $20,000. To those who have read all the
reports concerning the affray in which young
Noir lost his life, the verdict of acquittal can
create scarcely any surprise. There was only
one living witness besides the Prince himself,
and that was Noir's friend, De Fonvielle, who
took part in the fracas, and who so completely
lost his head during it, that he fired his pistol at
random, and then ran out of the house in a
terrible state of excitement, which must have
incapacitated him for giving a wholly trust
worthy statement. There' was, consequently,
no evidence that conid be deperfded on that the
first blow was not struck' by Victor Noir.
There was thus a doubt as to whether the crime
was murder, and in the laws of all civilized
countries such doubt is sufficient to warrant an
acquittal. The final appeal of the Procureur
eneral,for a verdict of 4 . guilty,with extenuating
circu nistances," shows that there was such doubt
in the minds of the prosecution. We are no
advocates of violence, and especially of violence
on the part of men whose high social position
may sometimes protect them from punishment.
Prince Bonaparte is a hot-headed and, if report
is true, a bad man. But he was grossly out
raged by the Marseillaise, and when con
fronted with two of its writers, one of whom,
at least, was armed, it Is not surprising that he
became furious and violent. The verdict of
the jury acquitting him has created some ex
citement in Paris, but the trial seems to have
been a fair one, and this excitement will sub
side, like the previous excitements created by
Rochefort and his f:ollowers.

In the local-money market, either In the demand for

freely supplied at 5 per cent. where Government or other
choice coliaterals .are presented. The market ifs dull.
Ia commercial paper there is eery little doing, the offer.

Most buainess people seem to be sailing under closely
reefed canvas, and keep a sharp lookout on the move
manta In Congress on all financial matters. The demand
for money is consequently light, and rates easy to good
borrowers. The banks appear alarmed at the neary
business failures in New York, during last week, lima
acrtitiniee closely all paper presented.
Cold is again dull but steady, with sales fluctuating
between 11136x11135. The transactions this morning
were unusually small.
Government bonds are quiet and steady with gold.
Prices aro not materially changed.
There was a moderate bueiness at the Stock Board and
prices were quite strong. In State securities there were
sales of the bixes, first series, at 11/241. City bonds were
steady. dales of the new issues at 102410'4. Lehigh gold

The Fate of the Army Bill in Dcnib
.111-Feeling Manifested Over Gen. Sher-
Probable Vote on the San Domingo Treaty
Teriterializing the District of Columbia
THE CUBAN QUESTION
Future Policy of theTremmry Department
FROM WASHINGTON.
The Army 131 H;
Medal De/match to the Phila. Evenina Bulletin.•
WASHINGTON, 'March is generally
thought that the Army Reduction hill,as passed
by the House, will fail in the Senate. The op
position to it, led by Senator Sherman, is very
active, and will probably command sufficient
strength to prevent the measure paasing, un
less it is so modified a* to meet the views of
the old army officers. '
General Sherman's letter to Senator Wllsoa
is 4 good deal talked about, and has had the
effect to strengthen the oppositien to the
House bill.
There is considerable ill feeling manifested
in a quiet way by ex-army officers who are
now members of the House, at the manner in
which Gen. Sherman has characterized their
efforts to cut down the expenses of the army
by alleging that they are Eoverned entirely by
Hellish motives.
In speaking of Gen. Logan, Gen. Sherman is
very bitter, and avers that he has not been
governed in getting through the bill reducing
./..• • s/ • . 1 / 7 - 21 .. 22_2.!..?-1...1.-:,7,/aia 1.1, AV/LW /LB as oy
personal and selfish motives.
General Sherman ascribes General Logan's
course as being caused by personal hostility to
himself, arising from his refusal, in July, 1864,
to make General Logan Commander of the
Army of the Tennessee, after the death of Gen.
11 cPherson.
Expressions similar to the, above, coming
from the lips of General Sherman, bave pro
duced and engendered no little ill-feeling
among the ex-artny officers, which is begin
ning to manifest itself openly by ill-natured
criticisms.
The San Domingo Purehase.
The Senate will resume the consideration of
the St. Domingo treaty to-day, when General
Schurz will speak in opposition to its ratifica
tion. The advocates and opponents of the
ratification are both confident as to the result.
Senator Sumner's canvass makes it appear that
there will be 41 votes against its ratification—
nearly two-thirds—while the other side are
sanguine of having 40 votes in its favor.
The Government of the 'District of Co.
Ininbia.
There appears no longer any doubt as to
the pa.ssage of the bill extending to the Dis
trict of Coltanbia a Territorial form of gov
ernment, although the measure is strongly
opposed by Mayor Bowen and other city
officials, and they are , making a de
termined fight against it. With the exception
of a few office-holders. the Repub
licans are almost unanimous in
desiring to take the control of the city
out of the hands of the present cot - -
rola?, officers. The 'present city gov
ernment have been very reckless in the
expenditure of money, and the city has been
in the bands of a " ring,"the parallel of which
cannot be found outside of New York.
Cuban Neutrality.
General Banks will ask the House, to-day,
to set an early day for the consideration of the
Cuban Neutrality resolution. He is confident
of its passage in• the House by a large ma
jority, and its friends in the Senate say they
are strong enough to pass it through that
branch of Congress without allowing it to be
referred to any Committee. Senator Sumner
will be its chief opponent.
The Public Debt Statement.
Secretary Boutwell will be able to show in
his public statement on Thursday, April Ist, a
handsome reductiOn in the debt for the mouth
of March, notwithstanding several millions
of dollars have been paid out for pensions.
Sudden Movement of General Bailer.
Secretary Fish will not return froth New
York until Wednesday. A good deal of cu
riosity-is manifested to know the object of
Gen. Butler's sudden trip to New York. It is
surmised that it is in some way connected with
the Judiciary Committee's investigation as to
correspondents here being bought up with
Cuban bends to aid the Cuban cause. General
Butler is expected back to-morrow.

WILMINGTON, March 24—The heavy 'rain,
storm yeAterday was; succeeded by 'a flood;
,causing the Delaware to 'overflow its banks
above and below the city. A strong northeast
Wind insisted to increase the flood by, making
a very high tide. The marshes above and
below Christiana, from this city to the Dela,.
;ware river, are covered with one vast sheet of
!water. Several streets on the south side of
Christiana are impassable. The banks of the
Christiana creek are broken near the mouth,
but not along the city wharf line. No damage
cis done in the city. ;
' The P. W. & B. Railroad track is overflowed
six inches; a mile or two above the city,. at
'fibellifot creek. The Brandywine is but slightly,
swollen.' It is nothing like the disastrous
flood in the earlypart of the winter, in severity.

some fishermen hauling their nets in a mill
pond, - near Frederica, Kent county, discov
ered the remains of a man• with his skull
mashed.
It proved to be the body of Thomas Hogan,
al peddler, supposed to live in Pine street,
philadelphia. Two negroes were arrested,
one of whom is said to have confessed. The
motive was plunder. The deed was probably
committed on the 19th of this month.
THE COURTS.
H 1 Dimmer ArronzirEvls VASE.
The Applicant:Lite Resitgue the Con-
COMMON PLEA: : < 0 • ••
ana reirce.—phis morning, according to pre
vious appointment, the counsel for Mr. Shep
pard appeared in Court to argue the question
involve° in the amended petition setting , forth
that under the decision of the Court in the
contested election case Mr. Sheppard was
elected District-Attorney if a new count was
made nnder the rule laid down in Judge
Brewster's opinion. Messrs. It. S. Hagert
and George W. Biddle represented Mr. Shep
pard.
Mr. Gibbons was present and stated to the
Court that he bad not had an opportunity to
examine the paper book of the other side, and
bad received no notice. He wished a written
notice, in order that he could not be said to
appear voluntarily.
Mr. Win. B. Mann, who was also present,
stated that he had communicated to Mr. Gib
bons all that had been done in Court, together
nith the intimation of the Court in regard to
the argument. '
Mr. Gibbons again reiterated that he had
not personally received notice, and had no
opportunity to examine the figures in the
paper book.
Mr. Biddle said that it had always been his
custom, and would continue to be, to address
notices to counsel and not to clients. This he
thought the proper mode to transact business.
Mr. Gibbons replied that in this particular
case he had no counsel.
Judge Allison said that the Court had al
ways considered this an open question. The
petition and answer had been deferred pend
mg the decision of the Supreme Court, as that
might have relieved the'Court of the necessity
of hearing the present application. But we
always considered the matter still before us
for consideration, and as Mr. Mann had been
counsel all through the ease, we intimated to
him that a time should be fixed for the argu
ment of the present motion. Mr. Mann and
r. Biddle were here together, and to-day
was agreed upon. We never had any reason
to suppose that Mr. Mann did not represent
Mr. Gibbons. If, however, Mr. Mann is na
longer counsel, and there is matter contained
in this paper book, demanding time, and Mr.
Gibbons desires time to examine it, we will
hear an application.
Mr. Gibbons—This Ls a new matter al
together.
Mr. Hagert—The answer attacks the deci
sion of this Court with reference to the 36
votes of naturalized voters, and the Court will
therefore notice that they are actors in this
matter as well - as respondents.
Mr. Gibbons=i do not propose to argue
this case 'myself, and shall want counsel to
represent me
The Court then fixed Friday next for the
argument.
bt'PREME COURT — ChiefJastice Thompson,

This morning the case of Hammett vs. the
City of Philadelphia was taken up on re-argu
ment. The .question involved in this case is
whether the city can introduce an improved
pavement and substitute this for the cobble
stone, and charge the cost to the owners of
property before which the improvement is
made. The case itself grows out of the paving
of Broad street with Nicolson pavement, and
upon the former argument of the case the
Court decided, reversing ,the decision of the
District Court, that the owners of property
were not liable. The judgment was rendered
by a divided Court, and, upon the application
of the City, a re-argument was allowed before
a full bench:
In the argument this morning the Court re
stricted it to a discussion of the single ques
tion raised by the plaintiff in error : 'That the
Court below erred in not deciding that the or
dinance and aot of Assembly were respect
ively null and void by reason of their being in
violation of the Constitution of the State, and
of their being a delegation and exereise of a
power to impose upon a few individuals a
heavy expenditure which should be borne by
the public at large.,

WASHINGTON, March 28.—The Select Com

Chairman,will lay before the committee, a vast
amount of information, which he has obtained
in this country and in Europe, showing that

the amount annually paid now for telegraph

man in putting the postal telegraph system in
operation in Great Britain. Mr. Sendamore
writes that the system is getting to work very
smoothly, and the increase in the buSiness•
since the linecame into the possession. of the
Government has been enormous.
• Mr. Washburne also fins a letter trona a
