[ After the late.eleetion I.'slel,v Hamp shire, our Democratic. friends were ju bilant, exceedingly : it was. the first rush of the great tidal wavet hat with . to sweep the Republicans into merited ob livion ; it was the, voice of a free, peal' pie rebuking corruption in high places; it was the death knell of radicalism, etc., ()to. They had scarcely dared hope for New Hampshire, and it had gone Democratic as easy as rolling oil' a log. As for .Connecticut, that was morally certain to go Democratic in any - event. But it happen:l 6 ol;a Connecticut has gone Republican, justahs unexpectedly as New Hampshire went Democratic. The election was a 11011,1' thing, and the choice for (Inventor is pretty sure to devolve on the Legislature, which, be ing very decidedly Republican, makes Jewell's election certain. Three Congressmen were elected by the Relitthilcune ; one• of thew, Kei.. log, being elected in a dlatriet that gave 1600 majority for Euglieli, the Demo cratic nominee for Governor. That tidal wave don't sewn to work with any degree of certainty. SAN DOMINGO. ffhe an DomingO Commissioners have finished their report . They ex press no opinion, and make no recom rioendation as to the policy of annexa6 n. The report has been put in type, and siiis are to be sent to the President to-day, (Friday-,—the_ith.) The Presi dent has his message - ready, and will send it to Congress, together with the report making no mammy Ad rix.i i....-- —,-.4. es t ueot ;•at least It is i so undersMod at Washington. It is understood, allO, that the whole Altair will be quietly left in the hands of the Committee on FoWg.n Relations. It strikes us that this course will make Senator Sumner's splurge on San Do mingo spread rather thin. FRANCE. There has been more Li g h t i n g in France, insurgent against government troops—Frew:din:fen against French men. On the 3d instant the insurgents adcanced on Versailles in two \,corps,' both of which were routed, with heavy loss. They had•expected the troops to fraternize with them ; but the troops did)rit fraternize worth a cent. On the contrary, opened on them 'with big . guns and things. The' insurgents im mediately,began to develop poor stay ing qualities; and when Oen. Vinoy got on their flank with a large body of• cavalry, made a stampede of it. The latest particulars up to our time of going to press, will be found in ano ther column. -.-- CB We last week spoke of the success of our Graded School and the importance of sustaining Wunder otir present tea chers. We wish this week to correct a mistake we made two weeks ago / in re ference to the bill repealing the annex ation law having passed the House of Representlatives, and also to speak of the persistent efforts of a few to induce the Legislature to pass such a bill. Bo far as the old borough he concern ed, except in_ reference to our school, we think our citizens care but little whether it retains its old or its now boundaries. This opinion, or rather indifference, is not the result of an ex amination of the subject in its Material hearings, brit the reverse, the l natural consequence of having thought but lit tle uponthe matter. Arid yet tve think not only. highly to the interest of those withlm the old limits, but also more to the interest of those in the now part, that this law should not.be repeal ed. Our population is rapidly limo* \&-slng, and tl o new cowers must': have room. ilui dings for dwellings andrfor business pu poses are also being built wherever there are vacant lota in the old borough. We admit that most of ' the new corners are brought here by bu- sinew interests, in view of the railroad to be completed the coining fall; but it is equally true that in choosing a loca tion most people will go where there aro good schools, in preference to going into a place where tho facilities for the education of their children are poor,— In consequence of the railroad and the school, real estate has nearly doubled within the last year or two within the borough, as well in the new part as:the ooming to Wellsboro to do bust.: netts", necessarily wish to reside within the limits of - the borough. This creates a demand for real estate there that does not eAist hi the adjaeent territory, how; 1E03! and deidrabie it may be, in ticilliitatioith le one of the .prime oh lence within the die precedent' to their 112 or that purpose, Ithin he ntiv.;perVt, die precedent= tuently ei 'demand .eased the ' aloe, and ______ in proportio . The value of real estate in the added a ct has increased at least thirty pet eent c , in consequence of the law of annexe\ lion, and that principally on aceount of the school facilities_ of the borough.-- Repeal the law, -and : there - , will .he an equal decline: . :., • The beauty of our Odom, consequent on annexation, is that the poor man's child can be equally Well educated here "as the Yoh hatin'l4. •Scheel faellities of the higheet cliaracter are open to all.— The man with half a dozbn children to educate for the active business •Of life, but without property, can eduCate.them equally with the children of the rioh Man who has half a million of dollars. There is no distinction here. The chil dren of the Commonwealth must be educated, and the property or the Com monwealth must educate them'. This is the great principle that rune through I our republican system. No one denies ' the fact that,our school is a success and that our children are being thoroughly 1 educated—intellectually, morally and I physically. To this school, to thesesu- 1 per-eminent advantages, the children I of the added part ware admitted by the law of annexation. Repeal the law, and they are cut off from all these ad vantages. It is not much to be wondered at that ,those who have no children to educate, but have property to be taxed, should object to being made a part of the bo rough, because it does in some measure ni orease their taxes ; but we cannot Conceive how the man witkchildren, be he rich or poor, can object. Thete are some living within the newpart, having considerable real estate, the val ue of which ' the annexation law has . greatly augmented, who are laboring hard for repeal - . We have no doubt they.are honest in their efforts. They labor under the hallucination that they are injured; and if so, they are justi fied in seeking a remedy. They are highly elated with the increased value ' - of their property;—but what troubles them, is the Assessor's valuation. We admit that if the la* could be repealed, the valuation should be lowered, -_______ be cause the very net of repeal would de crease the valuo. They complain also of the five mills on the dollar more than last year. Well, that is necessary to keep the system in successful opera tion. It can't be done without money, 'and where shall the money conic from, except from those who have it? The poor man isr not to blame because these men are rich. They have nobody to blame for having so much property to be taxed, but themselves. We pity them ;—but under the present system of laws, we do hot see how we can re lieve them of their heavy burden.— Then why find so much fault about it'? Why not pay ungrudgingly of their property, in'order to - secure protection against the depredations of an unedu cated rising generation ? Educate all our young men as we are doing In the borough, and we shall save more than we lay out in taxes. We have in our mind two men in par ticular, who have considerable real es! tato in the new part of the borough, who have been offered, and have refu sed it, double what they could have got for it a year ago. Are th, . ifi l litortli e fith i eT. man, who has a valuable property , in the addition,'Which has doubled in value within a year or two.. He hasue children to educate, and\rver had.— We heard him remark t e otheraay that he would rather pay one hundred dollars annually; in addition to hie tax es, than to be ' set back again into the township of Delmar; that he could well afford to pay that, and more, for the advantage he gained to his real es tate alone by its being within the bo rough. We have no idea that the law will be repealed, but we wish all men to beset lofted. We are confident that not asin gle individual would be a gainer by the repeal, but we wish them to 'think so, . and be content. The number that re ally wish for repeal le small, but they have'rights as welt as the majority;; y3t, being fellow members of society, their individual wishes must be subordinated to the wishes of the majority, which in this case is very large. We think the time will come, and that not far hence, 1 when they will be able to say fraekly that it was better for them that their wishes did not prevail. ' I ever nea their children •k. fedi+, then a rem 1 1. \ As. \ 1 k. Oe. 4 0 h. ` l, 'IT l• 0 KURLUX ONCE MORE. We don't believe in the dogged obsti nacy that hangs on to a root long after It pulled up ;or that insists lon bark ing at 'n hole ifter the squirrell has been gone for the laid. week ; or hangs on to a bag bemuse ihere has been a rat in it. But we shall keep up a -passing notice of these Southern outrages, until such time as -a Northern man can settle in .the South Without danger of betngdrt-- yen out by lawless violence as a car petbagger;" until such time as the gov eminent will protect American citizens, North or South, in their constitutional rights; ,and until government learns to favor ~and protect loyal, law-abiding citizens, against its well known and avowed enemies. We notice; as a favorable sign of re• turning reason, that our Demooratio Otennioraries no longer' deny, -but ad mit the existence of a large° , organized body of mon in every Southern State, whose business is ,to " regulate" the niggere" and " rpetbaggers." They also admit the Nara es, but lay t h e *blame on the lawless igger, who is al ways the aggressor. They do not ex plain,—they do riot a tempt to explain, —how it happens tha these murderous darkies, who are so fe, rfully dangerous to Southern •gentlernen, never manage to Mita ghastly Kuklux, ;while, after every little unpleasantness, a sitting of funerals is sure to come off, , in which dead darkies and loyal men tlgUre ex clusively as central subjects. Within the past six weeks, a mass of evidence has accumulated at Washing ton, that, should we state it in the ag gregate, would stagger belief; evidence irrefragable, resting on the testimony of hundreds on 'hundreds of tiniet, re spectable, loyal '-eitizens, whose testa- mony is'not onlY that of eye witnesses, but of men who bear deep scars of. the lash on their backs ; said scare being deep enough to Wit r$ lifetkeet and in- 4. - _ s". mr.. 7 filoOd by theh s ttia ALthe ftlf,luf,-:-... !itiriireTettl i tii '-icri orneln Silence at the... hands of men whom we first wiiiPtkid in a loug,;bloo4y war, sad then generously pardeneil, on their pro- Mille ,dpgood behavior s t ?' . They kept . . that prfiMfie, by goltig,home with bit ternesa• in -hethearts and hatred in their sduls for the accursed Yankee, who, they had been taught to believe, would not fight, but who had neverthe; less whipped the chivalric South to a stand-still, and then brought it to an 0 conditional surrender. They kept • iromise, by organizing the (rag : : • f their armies into :itt effective \ army of 1 ndits and lawbreakers, whose business it ould be to annul constitu tional amen anti, suppress schools and school tette i.a, bring the negro to, \ his normal conditki (as they put it) of servitude, and stamp ut e very vestige of Republicanism in th Sputhe r.n States, so far as terrorism Auld accom plish it. Congress has not bken igno rantti of these facts. Both p ralow exactly how the case stand , and ach has long been ready to pursu the tour: e which seemed most likely ciheck mate the other in 'the coming ele trim. The leaders of modern `Democracy saw suc cess in affiliation with the South, pro vided the Republican eletnent could be eliminated and general amneaty secured•' for.rebels of all grades—from the Davis and Lee..easte to the low-down Likens and Simmons clay-eaters. Hence the rabid onslaughts, editorial and Con gressional, on everything and every; I body who stood in the way of general r 1 muddy, They know, and have all along known, that the Southern Ku klux 'Klan is one of their strongest and most reliable cards for the Presidential, game; and they show a willingness to play it in a manner which quite throws Ah-Sin among the Innocents. With out the aid of this barbarous army of rebel cutthroats, they cannot hope to win in 1872; without affiliation with the remnants of Southern armies, who are as bitter to-day'as they were when Istarving and torturing Union soldiers ito death—the great Democratic party stark& as much chance of winning the next election, as of being swallowed by an earthquake ; and the leaders are per fectly aware of it. That they are a lit tle ashamed of the affiliation, speaks well for their consciences. That they should deny all charges against their allies, is, perhaps, natural ; natural, too, that they should attempt to whitewash =this dirty element to a semblance of re speetability. But the- Kuklux won't I be whitewashed ; won't accept the of fered plea of not guilty. On the con trary, confesses its crimes and glories in them, declaring its intention to per- Severe in them until the persecuted South is freed from carpetbaggers, and left to make her own d laws, according to the Constitution. The pliant leaders of the party accept this view of the case, and no longer deny, but justify. On MondaY of last week, Mr. Blair made a speech against the Kuklux bill, in. which ho took this ground. The .speech was simply a tirade pf abuse, directed mainly at the unlucky carpet baggers, who, between whipping, hen- . I ging and Congressional abuse, are hav ing rather a lively time of it. - But Mr. Blair did not lave the cheek to deny the outrages charged against his Sou thern allies ; not from any lack of cheek, we imagine, but because the ev idence has reached a point where denial becomes indicative of tergiversation,— or imbecility,—and can do no possible good. 1 the\ men before Congiess and before the country, has been the passage, of a bill for the suppression of JEC.uilux outrages at the south. ,It looked very much at one time as though Congress meant to shirk the responsibility of passing any bill ,whatever on this subject. We are sor ry to say it, but it looked that way.— Members were afraid of the effect it might have on the elections, They were shaky about the result of thelW agreement between the administrat on and Mr. Smener. They were afraid to pass a bill that required nerve and dis crimination in using tha military force of the government to put down law,less ness and brigandage ; above all, to put ,down with the strong band the enemies of this ^republic. We do not agree with them : we have a notion that we• are supporting a military force for that very purPose, and we want to see it used in Suppressing the enemies of the repub lic. We are no upholder of general amnesty. We think it very poor poli cy that the enemies of a government be allowed to participate in its admin istration, knowing , they will , do their level best to subvert that same- govern client to their own ends. If the editor of the Tribune thinks differently, we cannot help it, and we are sorry ftr i .the stand H. G. has taken in this nr tter. 1 His platform endorsed secession q. the Outset, provided a majority of the , fouth desired it on a fairly expressed balot:-- bur 'platform woula then, as noW, hang every employe of government w h o coolly took an oath to tight for the gov- 7 i l (aliment, took government patronage and money, with consequent respecta bility and posltion, on the ground that he should fight for his . countr y in the improbable contingency that she ever needed the lighting skill which she had taught him at much expense, and then, 'when war actually came, turned on his mother and stabbed the breast that had nursed and made him. We would have hung them in 1861 ;—we would be glad to hang them now, They were enemies of liberty, always ; enemies of equality; no less ; oppoient of any and " every -thing free, from free schools and free land to free niggers," as the Richmond Enqu(rer declared in 1861. They were at least consistent—to the last. They are still-opposed to everything free ;- to all progress; to 'Poputat 'education; and; above all, to everything which itp . - pertains in any way to the hated "Yan kee." And these mcn7-these,unregen crate rebels—are . the • grand reserve of the Democratic party for the Presiden tial ( campaign of 1872. If they do not come up to the polls and vote solid, no Democratic candidate can reach that Mecca of his dreams, the White House. And so it happens that the unscru pulous, but well drilled party aforesaid, can be depended on to defend their al lies' to the end, on any and every ground which th e ChivalrouS leaders of the Ku - kluX pan may ,think it politic to oc cupy.. We look for, and do . not depre- Cate this. - But we wish our represent tallies In Congress would disPiq a little more 84f01.31113 in , the line of backbone.; a littlemore strength' of knee.

(We, canted a musket then;whioh H. G. never did.) We seem to remember that there was a handsome sum offered for a war song, which should be inspiriting for North ern troops, without , being .offensive to `our "erring sisters." The sum was never paid : the Song was never writ ten. ,It was like offering a roward.for a bright seprlet mantle, that should please the wearer without offending a mad bull. Nit a Maine regiment of horse rode through the streets of New York, roaring' a song that has gone wherever the English language is spo ken, and that song Was the most offen sive'one that Southern ears ever listen ed to. Of course it became the song of r a rmies ; and " John Brown's body lie m ouldering in the ground," is'nt a healtay song to sing in a bitter South ern toWn at this day.

One word as to military rule. The people rule in this country. If' they desire, and think necessary, a military force to keep the peace and protect those who do believe in and 'support a free go 4 wernment, against lawless ruf fians who do 'not,--4hen, we submit, the military is in order ; and we trust it will be put in the hands of the Exec utive, and that he will finish the war which still seems to hang on in some of the southern States. Let us have peace. THE SAN DOMINGO QUESTION. . The President has transmitted the report of the San Domingo commiss ioners to congress, with a message that we regret our inability to print in full. We hare room for a 'few extracts that will show its general tenor. The message is not well calculated to increase Mr. Sumner's popularity.— The President says : a "When I accepted the arduous and responsible position whioh I now hold, I did not dream of instituting any etepe for the acquisition of insu lar possession'. I believed, however, that our institutions were broad enough to extend over the entire continent as rapidly as other people desire to bring themselves under our protection. I believed, further, that we should not permit any independent Government within the limits of North America to pass from a condition of Inde pendence to one of ownership or .proteetlon unh der a Rropean Power. Soon after my inaugeration as President I was waited upon by an agent of President Baez, with a proposition to annex the Republic of Santo IDomingo to the United States. This gentlems4 represented the capacity of the Island, the dative of the people, and their obaraoter and habits, about as they have been described by the Corn miessoners, whose report aocompanies this mes sage. He stated, further, that. bait... -..ve ea- - et numberh arr snits resources; that' tili theople had no incentive to &dry, on ao count of lack Of protection for dr accumuht. i tions, and that if net accepted by the United, Mates, with institutions which they loved above those of any other nation, they would be coat pelled to seek protection elsewhere. To these statements I made no reply, and gave no indica tion of what I thought of the proposition. In the amino of time I was waited upon by a second gentleman from Santo Domingo, who made the sumo representations, and who was re ceived in like manner. ' a * * * a * * a And now my task is finished, and with it en s all personal solioitude upon the subject. M duty being done, yours begins; and I gladl hand over thewhole matter to the judgment f the Amerioan people and of their Representativ in Congress assembled. The facts will now b spread before the country, and a decision dared by that tribunal, whose convictions so eel dom err, and against whose will I have no polio to enforce. My opinion remains unchanged; in deed it is confirmed by the report, that the in terests of our country' and 'of Santo Domingo alike invite, the annexation of the Republic.. , In view of the difference of opinion upon this. sub ject, I suggest thit no action be taken at the present session beyond the printing and general dissemination of the report. Before the next session of Congress the people will have consid ered the subject and formed an intelligent opin ion concerning it, to which opinion, deliberately made up, it will be the duty of every department of the Government to give heed, and no one will more cheerfully conform to it than myself. The message °lncludes as follows : In again submitting to Congress a sub sett upon which public sentiment has been divided, and which has been made the °cession of seri-- menials debate in Congress, as well as unjust aspersions elsewhere, I may, I trust, be indulged in a single remark. No man can hope to per.: form duties so delicate and responsible as per tain to the Presidential•ofliae without sometimes incitrring the hostility of those who deem their opinions and wishes treated with insufflotent eenelderation ' • and he who nndertaoes to con duct the affairs of a great Government as a faith ful public servant, if sustained by , the approval of his own conscience, may' rely with 'confidence upon the candor and intelligence of a freepeople,. whose best interests he has striven to subserve, And can bear with patience the censure of,dieap pointed men. (Signed,) GRANT. April 3, 1811. [Correopdedenee of the Agitator.] Muutteautte, April 0, 1871 Three sessions of last week were giv en to' the consideration, of the appor tionment bill, which finally passed the House on Friday noon, by a strict party vote. It is an amendment to the Sen ate bill, and will now be returned there for concurrence, and a committee of conference be appointed. There has been no bill introduced in the House for the repealof the not pass ed last winter enlarging the boundaries Of Wellsboro, as I notice by last week's Agitator, but one to repeal the State road from Welisboro to Marsh creek has been reported in the House,' and unless remonstrated against will I:ltOb ably‘pass. In the ease of the borough extension, the public' sentlinent Seems to be so equally divided that it to irn possible for Mr. Strang to come to any decided conclusion, and the matter will restas it is now, unless these interested shall act in the matter. Ahd while up on this subject, allow -me to say, that oftentithes, as in the present instance, the member is placed in a very embar rassing position, as it is impossible to Satisfy all parties;'btit acting in the in terest of the . majority should be accep ted as the best that can be done. I also notice quite a lecture in - your paper in relation to the bill passed by the House regulating taxes on unseated i land in our con ty. . If the people are opposed to the, measure, let them ex press theruselv 'by remonstrances, as they have a righ to do, and thusosave the member fro criticism and assault, fromrrties eith r favorable orbpposed to an given su ect. It is stdAcient, in tho pregin4 .., nop, to say thatann. •07:41e111leme-arettesta% Were Wit • here for the passage of the bill ; and after considerable delay, and no one op pr4ingi It, waa introduced; and It, as the article says, it is unwise legislation, then; is Plenty of time to • be, hear4l* the premises before our retietetOrY laitiP' r • ate Will act upon it.* , ' '' -• ' The three moat important bilhi palmed by the House this session are still held in committee in the Senate, with, no present prospect of their acting upon theni—the mein one of which is the appropriation bill—ho Ping thereby to compel the House to accept and swal low their iniqultousapportionment bill. They 'are hoping against hope ; and they were duly notified by Mr. Strang, in his speech upen the subject, that the Republican majority in the H o us e would have a bill satisfactory to them selves, if they remained all summer. Politica is the raging mania now, and the candidates for official honors at the next fall election are increasing day by day. All political bodies must have a head, and with us the city of Philadel phia is the center from which radiatss the fiat of victory or defeat ; and with the Union League and Grand Army of the Republic. located there, they cer tainly do wield an influence that rea: chefs to all parts of the State. 04 Pine Creek and Jersey Shore railroad bill, of which we were so san guine at the i dopening of the session, seems to hanflike an , incubus upon the body politic, and the stales are so even ly balanced that we cannot determine whelier they will go up or down. The only drawback now is the fear of the Governor's veto, the friendS of the bill being strong enough in both branches to secure its passage, at any time. :If this measure—so vital to the interests of a great portion of the State—is finally defeattd, its friends will know upon when' tto Wargo its failure ;—lt , were ttir for him that he were made 'Min late to et.

Singerly, the present contraotor, being the successful bidder at 411 rob cent. below the amo't stipulated by act f Assembly, which will, under the sup konent of March 27, 1871, be a great saving to the State from that heretofore radd This was followed by a resolution of congratula tion by the Republicans upon their suc cess In Connecticut, which calla ou t all the Democratic thunder of the Ho e t: (16 - -:-#0 after two sessions spent in debate; the solution was passed by a party Tot . The following morning the news was not quite so encouraging, and it look das if our resolution was going bat on its originators ; but time; that miikr all things even, will finally set the atter at rest. A resolution is to be offered ii; t 13 e House limiting the introduotioh f pri vate-bills to the 14th of April, which will pass, being the first definite move toward the final adjournment Of the Legislature. Those of the members . who are engaged in agriculture, Me get ting anxious to return home ford their spring labors, but the city members are very indifferent as to the time of otos ling, and seem to be willing to remain all summer. When both branches learn the fact that their services are no longer needed to protect the interests of the Commbnwealth i they will il then have learned a feet of which the eople were cognisant,many weeks ago. April thus far has been as fitful as a coquette; now sunshine,' now Storm, heat and cold, wind .and. calm,luntil the weather prognosticators are lost in .the • fog; but we know that aftir the storm comes the sunshine, and after the winter the summer. The fleecy Clouds weave,themselves into fantastic shapes, and the red glow of the evening Sunset ASFlge l ittrilion in 0 star of the evening, and brighter still tle fulL moon's glowing orb. We hail th own= ing as the weary tralreler the green os. sea of the desert, as the wayworn I wan derer the welcome light of home. Move on in thy beauty, thou queen of night. X-27. *But the people never heard a whispet about the matter, until the news came that such a bill had passed the House. It seems that whenever a few individuals desire a law to further their ends, they have but to petition the Legislature— quietly—and they have the law.—(En. About one week since, (on Monday, the 2d instant,) the Democratic , leaders in Connecticut footed up their anticipa ted victory after the following consola tory fashion : "Governor English (Dem 9 will be re elected by 8,600 majority. In the first Congressional district Goodrich (Dem.) will be 'elected over Strong (Rep.) by 500 majority. In the second Congressional distriet Rendriok (Dem.) will be elected overl ,Rellogg (Rep.) by 1000 majority. • A In the third Oongreasiona) distriot Steadman (Dem.) will be elected otrer , SPirktreather '(Rep.) by 250 majority. In the fourth Congressional district Barnum (Derr.) will be re.eleoted by 2,000 majority. Ii the Senate there will be a Democratic ma jority,of tow or five. In the lower house there will be a Demdcratio majority of twelve or thirteen." The election has resulted in a Repub loan victory; and the Democratic reel er crows Very gently. • LATER FROM FRANCE.
