7111 be officially declared, by the . presi
ding officer of the Senate, on the second
Wednesday of this -month, to-morrow
week. The announcement of the names
of the new Cabinet-officers may be ex
pected very soon after. It iS generally
understood that General GRANT has
already made his selections, but keeps his
own counsel for the present. •
THE PARAGUAY3N DICTATOR has
given up the Americans, Buss and MAS
TEM/AN, whom he has been accused of
holding confined as prisoners of State. It,
is said that LOPEZ requires that they
shall be tried in this couutry for conspir
acy against his authority. All the trial
they, will be likely to receive here will be
of the same sort as that which has already
been held by, public opinion, upon the
late 314 s er 'iVABLIBrRNE.
OUR. E 10ETIENT cotemporsay at Al
bany, favors us with a copy of its "Even
ing Jour ad Almanac" for 1869—com
prising o e hundred and sixty pages of
all sorts o useful information for the year

especial minuteness and accuracy, sup

MR. OaTH, of Indiana, from the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs, repor,ted yes
terday to the House of Representatives a
joint resolution for the annexation of St.
Domingo to the United States, to take
merely a territorial condition. The reso
lution was laid on the table.
Cuba will be acquired by the same
cheap and easy process, if members ' -of
Congress who are anxious to drive,bar
gains, in order to "toll the ,grist," will
only restrain their unnecessary -activity.
'qv., in She enlightened Kingdom of
Dahomey, Mr. F. Donowiss were of
fered by one of the Court Journals, as
an example of the intelligence of the
white race, would it not be objected
against him, that he was a hybrid with
nearly as much black as white blood in
his veins, and might with nearly equal
propriety be used by white barbarians to
measure the mental strength of the black
Ifricanst—Post.
Doubtless the blacks in Africa, if Mr.
DOUGLASS should chance to take up
his abode among them, would disclose
, the same egotism of race Which is so
prominent and offensive among all other
races ; they would be apt to swagger,
"if so little nigger helps a man so mu ch,
what would a good deal more do for
him ?"
_ _
Worex some champion of the "quiet
interference" policy, in our diplomacy
with contiguous nations, be good enough
to explain how and why the Mexicans
have just overreached us in the new
treaty for the adjustment of claims be
;.,yeen the two nations? Now Comes, from
Washington, this shocking report:
"It is the general opinion that the
Mexicans overreached us, siUOO the treaty
Is so ingeniously worded as to exclude
claims for moneys advanced or Tor dam
. ages done by anybody except the Mexi
can authorities." -
This sort of thing wont do at all, you
know. If "quiet" diplomacy be subject to
such an "expense and risk" as we seem
to have encountered in this case, we shall
have no 'encouragement to persist in it,
much less to entrust the "manifest des
tiny" of the Republic to such stupid ne
!otiators.
----------:-----
THE MARCH OF REPUBLICAN
When, three weeks ago, in the discus
sion-upon his "protectorate" proposition
in the House, General BANns declined to
answer a pointed• question as to the
privity of the governments of Hayti and
San Domingo in that movement, the
member's reticence was sufficiently signi
ficant. We thought then, as we aISIT re•
marked, that overtures to this effect had
actually been made to our own govern
ment. That such was the fact is clear
enough now._ It is equally clear that
this movement is to have the hearty co
operation of the new administration.
No other hypothesis would explain the
'decided position taken then by Mr.
BAxice and now ratified by the im
portant endorsement of the Committee
on Foreign; Affairs. It now addresses
itself to the country, as a question in the
deciviOn of which notlain,g but a popular
prejudice can stand in 'the way of the
plainest National interests.
We annexed a large portion of Mexico
without imposing, upon the acquired
populations, any conditions precedent to
their full and immediate gnjoyment_of our
citizenship: Nevertheless, the new area
remained in a territorial status until the
increase of population in California en
titled a portion of it to constitutional re
cognition as a State.
Texas, altho' peopled in good part by -
I pur own expatriated citizens, who had
' already erected there a heal government
similar to those of our own slave -holding
States was, nevertheless, in theory as in
fact, a foreign nation, when her annexa
tion to the Republic conferred instantly
our State rights upon that government
and our citizenship upon all her'people,
native to - her soil or foreign-born.
_ _Again,- the Louisiana purchase ' from
France conferred the same citizenship
upon many thousands of people to whom
even our language was an unknown
tongue, and State sovereignty followed as
soon as our own regular constitutional
conditions were completely filled.
The theory of our government recog
nizes a uniform citizenship in the States or
Territories, indifferently. With that priv
ilege, the other point, of organization as
a State, has nothing to do. The first is
instant and absolute in ' its investiture;
the last follows, sooner or later, upon the
constitutional regulations in that special
regard, and independent of the faintest
remission to any such arbitrary period of
delay as our naturalization laws presdr be
for individual immigrants.
- It is evident, therefore, that any oppo
sition to West Indian annexation, based
upon arguments drawn from our natural
ization laws, will be entirely untenable.
We have expressly repudiated the appli
cation of that analogy in the instadices
the
sameabove. PraCtically, however, the
same result- has been reached, thro, gh
the delays of the territorial status, which,
with the exception of Texas, was more
or less prolonged in each case. •iiret,
even then,_the analogy was so far disre
garded, in the other cases, that the Creole,
or the "Greaser," made a citizen on the
instant of the treaty-ratification, became
a voter in any of the old States to which
he might have removed the same week,
as soon as he should satisfy the local con •
ditions which such State_ imposed upon
immigrants from any other.
We do not understand this West 'lndi
an proposition to insist upon instant
State recognition as the condition of an
nexation: Only a territorial status will
be claimed for the Tlaytiens and Domini
cans, accepting the Congressional order
in the arrangement of their territorial
governments." Some years are likely to
elapse before their settled social condi
tion, and their complete penetration with
our Republican ideas shall lead them, in
due coarse, to the formation of such State
governments, republican in farm, as shall
satisfy the customary requirements of our
sisterhood of States. In the meantime,
all the natural resources and the relative
values intrinsic to that almost imperial
island will be quite as purelY American
as are Alaska, Arizona, or even Texas
itself. It is not much to say that we be
lieve they will be more so.
MRS. SWISSHELM.
It is easier to point out errors in others
than to guard against them ourselves. If
we wanted any evidence of this fact we
should cite the gross and ungallant abuse
heaped , upon Mrs. JAYE G. SwissnEL3t,
by the very journals which charge her
with ungenerous conduct in dealing with
certain ladies about whom she recently
wrote. They certainly mistake who ac
cuse her of coarseness, vulgarity, and lack
of human kindness. The assertion is not
only false but malicious, for we lielieve
Mrs. Swlssautat's heart to be as large
and full of love for her fellow beings as
those hidden in the bosoms of most of her
sex. We do not undertake to defend any
of her writings ; she is able to measure
swords with all comers, and to success
fully defend herself against the attacks of
journalists who speak not by the book. -
Here in this community, where best
known, she sustains - high character, is
universally respected for her talents and
good qualities of head and heart, ands no
lady , is more conspicuous for wr of
charity, zealousattentions to the sick and
suffering, concern for the poor and friend
less, and earnest labor towards redeem
ing the fallen outcasts of society who are
shunned by the great majority of their
own sea . Her writings may invite severe
and'acrimonious criticism, but her char
acter as a kind, good-hearted, true woman,
should not be assailed by gentlemen of the
press, for the most timid cannot travel
far in that direction without doing her
gross injustice.

From this it will be seen that Pennsy,
vania leads all the other States largely
But it is in the 4mparatively new West
ern States that the progress of this great
interest is most remarkable. We have
already shown that Illinois has more miles
of railway than New York. We shall
now carry the mparison a little farther.
Ico
Wisconsin as 1,233 miles; Kentucky
only 813.
lowa has 1; 23 miles ; Maine only 560.
Kansas has 48 miles; Arkansas only 86.
Minnesota •has 572 miles; Louisiana
only 371. -
It is in the prairie States that we see
i
ffi,
the most rapid progress made in the con
struction of railways ; and om this - w e
may base our expectations o what will
be accomplished in this line in themag
nificent prairie region west of the Missis
sippi during the next two decades. The
area of prairie on the east side of the
Mississippi is trifling compared with that
found on the west side, and in all that ci
tended region railroads will be the only
means of transportation for considerable
distances. .
The era of consolidation seems to have
set in. Weak local companies are leas
ing their roads to strong ones, who use
them as links in the, forraatiOn of great
national lines. The New York and Erie
Company has for months been endeavor
ing to get the control of all the western
roads which could be so used, and that
corporation now controls property to an
enormous amount. But its efforts to
grasp and regulate for its own advantage
the entire commerce of the States lying
west of Pennsylvania have not been suc
cessful. Happily for the country, the
Pennsylvania Central was . strong enough
to enter the field as a compeiitor, and
checkmate the movement. The last
named Company have now the control of
unbroken lines to both St. Louis and Chi
cago, and so has its great rival of New
York. On Friday last, at Columbus, a
negotiation took place, which renders it
impossible for Mr. VAIiDEIUSILT to ob
tain the mastery of the whole field. The
Atlantic and Great Western is but an ex
tension of, the New York and Erie, while
the Pittsgurgh, Cincinnati and St. Louis
is really an extension of the Pennsylvania
Central to the last named city. The fol
lowing telegram, published in the GA
ZETTE of Saturday - n.orning, states the
matter briefly and clearly:

A PHILADELPHIA JOURNAL advocates
the gradual substitution of greenbacks
for the national bank notes, and that the
bonds held by the banks be retired with
the proceeds. This, says our cotempora
ry, would save $18,000,0 00 in interest, or
be equivalent to a reduction of the interest
on. the total $1,800,000,000 of six per
cent. bonds to five per cent.We regret
that this journal does not, at the same
time, tell us what effect the adoption of
its proposition would-have on the national
banks, which depend now on their own
circulation for no small part of their
profits. When we hear from It in eluci
dation of that point, we should then like
to know the precise difference between a
promise to pay at a future period—a
promise in the form of a bond which is
now worth par in the market, because
the public confides in its redemption—and
a promise to pay cash on demand, which
is notoriously repudiated every day, and
ranks accordingly in financial estimation.
That is exactly the point of difference

In :the iedemiltiobri of its bonds, and a
ireenba4 iirOnlation whichls nothing
but a unredeemed promise to pay. Next
in importance to the legal-tender feature,
the greenbacks at their present rate are
esteemed for their convertibility into a
long bond, which, with interest in the
meantime, postpones payment to a period
commanding the confidence of the public.
The public gains from a reversal of this
l
process
. would be very slight indeed.
The national bank system would be swept
away, and our entire currency would
consist of a paper not only anredeemed,
but which could never attain redemption

many other attisctionsat that, establish- ,

M'lle Coutlier and ber brother, the
wonderful and fearless trapeze perform

only. The entertaintnents at this estab

amusing character, and will draw largo
houses.
Pimp. TETEDOVICS CONCERT.—Tbe an
nual vocal concert under the direction of
Prof. Clement Tetedoux, by home artists
who deserve higher consideration than
many less talented traveling professional
vocalists, will take place at the Academy
of Music on F,idav evening. The pro
gramme embraces the names of ama
teurs who are favorably known to the
musical public and we trust there will be
liberal attendance on the part of our peo
ple at the concert. The sale of seats will
comence at Mellors' and Kleberi" music
stores m to-morrow morning at nine o'clock.
MUSET.ISI.—The public continue to be
stow a liberal patronage upon Maj, Bur
nell, whose Museum, on Fifth avenue,
is one of the most attractive places of
amusement in the city. The Museum is
open daily from 10 o'clock a. x. to 10
P. M., and is continually thronged with
visitors.
CHARITY FAIR.—A more pleasant
place to spend an evening cannot be
found than at the Charity Fair, in the
basement of the Cathedral, and we know
of no more laudable enterprise or praise
worthy object than that for which the
Fair is being held.
Mount Nebo Literary Society.—The
Mount Nebo Union Literary Society,
which meets weekly at Campbell's school
house, in South Fayette township, is in
a very flourishing condition. On the last
night of meeting a very animated discus
sion was had on the question, "Is there
such a thing as disinterested benevolence
in man?" W. J. Sterling and J. G. Sla
ter maintaining the affirmative, and
Wm. Johnston and Wm. Hill the nega
tive. Several other• performances were
had, among which might be named a
a very humorous extemporaneous speech
by J. G. Slater on the subject of 'Balls,"
a lengthy essay by George A. Mcßride
on the subject of "Women's Rights,"
and the reading of the weekly paper.
The editnr on this °occasion was J. M. B.
'Robb. The meetings of the society are
