The Sauiana Bay Speculation.
While our Northern exchanges have much
to say about the recent purchase of Samana
Bay and a portion of the Island of San D»-
nr.ngo by a New England Company of capi
talists, very few even of the Radical papers
express approval of the scheme or confi
dence in its success. Many declare their
couviotion that it is Grant's annexation pro
ject in a new shape, and are unwilling to be
lieve that the Administration is not inter-
Unfaithful Servants.
The Pittsburg Post says members of Con
gress appear surprised to find the country
shocked at the developments in the Credit
Mobilier affair. The guilty parties are cov
ered with confusion in the exposure, adds
that paper, and the certain condemnation
which awaits them at the hands of their
constituents. Demoralization has not yet
so far fastened upon the masses, as to per
mit their representatives to use their public
trusts for se.fisli ends without a protest.
During the heat of an excited political cam
paign, characterized by more than usual bit
terne8s, a simple denial, which was promptly
forthcoming, was deemed a sufficient an
swer. The charges against such men as
Colfax and Wilson, one occupying the sec
ond highest office in the United States, and
the other a candidate for the same position,
were considered as pure inventions by the
Democratic press, and after the solemn de
nial by these gentlemen of any knowledge
or connection, directly or indirectly, with
the stock in the Credit Mobilier, they a‘
tractcd the sympathy aud support of a larg
numbt r of decent men who considered them
wronged and much abused citizens. Al
though they profited by the tide, which set
in their favor, they were not thus to escape.
The sober second thought of the people has
been brought to bear, solemn oaths have
been opposed to simple denials, facta take
the place of assertion, and they stand naked
and exposed to the finger of scorn. They
have been unfaithful public servants and
must bear the consequences of their wron;
.doing.
The Cincinnati Enquirer appears to be
badly shocked at these developments. It
says: “Our last hope of‘the Christian States
men is gone. When Colfax and Wilson ac
knowledged Credit Mobilier, and Howard
feathered his pious nest out of the Freed-
men’s Bureau, we still had the great and
good Harlan to fall back upon. We believed
in Harlan, aud pinned our faith to him. An
eminent Christian who could keep the names
of several hundred dead men on the pension
rolls and draw their pensions regularly; who
could secure an annual appropriation of
$560,000 for a gang of Indians who never ex
isted; in whose behalf Parson Newman pi
ously invoked the brotherly co-operation of
all the Methodist preachers in Iowa—surely
this man was no ordinary sinner. And now
our Harlan is gone. It transpires that Le,
too, was tarred with the Pacific Railroad
stick. Oh, for a good square-shouldered,
broad-chested man of sin!”
Will the Senate Purge Itself of Cor
ruption!
The corruption which has marked the ac
cession oi the Republican party to power is
forcibly illustrated in a brief article which
appeared in the columns of the Philadelphi:
Ledger on the 1st inst. “There was a time,
says that journal, “when an election to the
Senate of the United States was regarded as
next to the highest honor the country could
bestow—when none but the ablest and most
honorable men were sent there to represent
their States, and when none bnt honorable
means were used at the elections. But how
all this is changed now! There are no less
than four Senators in that body who are di
rectly charged with having got there by cor
ruption, and at least two of them on trial
upon charges of having bought their
elections with money. Another under
like charges is on h.s way to the Senate,
waiting for the re-assembling of Congress,
and at least four moi o will make their ap
pearance on the coming fourth of March.
In several of the new Western States there
seems to be but one way of settling Senato
rial elections, and that is to settle in cash.
In the pocket State of Nevada they have a
canvass on hand at this time, and so bitter
is it that one party threatens to make it “a
conflict so memorable and terrible” as to
deter all future attempts to buy the Legisla
ture. But that Legislature will be bought
all the same. The people of the State art
lost sight of in the contest, the whole busi
ness of who shall be Senator from Nevada
being settled outside of the State, in San
Francisco, by a few individuals. The next
Nevada Senator will probably be the im
mediate personal representative of the San
Francisco owner of a silver mine, just as the
new Oregon Senator is the immediate per
sonal representative of a great builder of
subsidized Government railways.
“Anybody may be represented in the Sen
ate now—who will spend cash enough.”
The prediction of the Ledger as to the tri
umph of money in Nevada has been verified,
and that State will, after the expiration ol
the present Congress, be represented by a
Senator whoso distinguishing qualification
is that he has plenty of cash. This tiling of
buying seats in the United States Senate has
become so notorious and .so odious to the
well-meaning peoplo of the country that
the body to which they have been “elected”
has been compelled to take some notice of
these corrupt transactions, though the indi
cations just now are that we shall have only
a repetition of the “ whitewashing” for
which both houses of Congress hUve of late
acquired an unenviable notoriety.
Villainous Disclosures in the Tweed
Case.—The Tweed trial is dragging its
slow length along in New York. Whether
the great criminal will be convicted, or es
cape through some legal technicality, re
mains to bo seen; but it is very clear that
the perpetration of immense frauds by some
body will be established beyond the possi
bility of a doubt. The evidence of a man
by the name of Garvey, ou Saturday, show
ed that witness was instructed to make out
his bills, amounting to $395,000, so that
thirty-five per cent, of their face would par
him. His bills were arranged by Ingersoll,
Woodward and Watson, and when money
was obtained, Woodward made deposit in
the Broadway Bank in favor of Tweed. An
other witness, Davidson, a manufacturer of
safes testified that one of his claims,
amounting to $16,940, was raised on the
warrant to three times that sum, but tnat
he poor fellow, only got a check for the
original figure named in his bill. The
prime movers in these- stupendous frauds
seemed to have understood and practiced
multiplication much more thoroughly that:
division, and kept for themselves all the
chestnuts they compelled their catspaws to
pull out of the fire.

*4 on | ested in the purchase, while all agree that
without the endorsement and protection of
the United States Government, the scheme
must prove a miserable failure. Interview
ers say that Grant approves the purchase,
while he denies most positively having any
personal interest in the speculation; but
it is difficult to persuade sensible peo
ple that a company of shrewd Yankee
capitalists would venture their money
in such a hazardous enterprise unless
they had good and substantial reasons for
relying on Government co-operation. They
may have this assurance, so far as the Presi
dent and his jobbing ring is concerned, and
yet not be perfectly safe. The little island
cannot be divided out among the Radical
Senators and members of Congress, and till
the stock of the company becomes more
valuable than it is at present, it cannot be
used like the stock of the Credit Mobilier
was used to bribe and buy up the votes of
honorable Senators and Representatives.
In the discussion of the President’s San Do
mingo scheme it was clearly demonstrated
that the people are not hungry after the an
nexation of the island with its worthless, ig
norant, mongrel, semi-barbarian population,
aud it is not at all likely that they will con
sent that the Government shall be at the ex
pense of keeping ships of war and troops at
Samana to protect the person of the human
itarian Howe and the colonists which he
proposes to introduce on the island, and the
property of the company, from the Domini
cans and Haytians. If San Domingo is ever
to become a tropical Paradise for carpet-bag
gers it will have to receive at least the same
paternal protection from the Federal Govern
ment that is now given to Louisiana and
other Southern provinces of the model Repub
lic. This sort of protectorate will involve
considerable expense, while the benefits to
result from it will be neither general nor
compensating. Viewed in all its aspects, it
is highly probable that this attempt of Gen.
Grant to still further mougrehze and de
grade our citizenship, preliminary to the in
auguration of a strong consolidated gov
ernment, will encounter serious opposition
among the more honest men of his own
party. It is not likely that Congress will
sanction the accomplishment of a scheme
by proxy, which it rejected when sought to
be directly effected by the Government.
The New York Evening Post, a leading
Republican journal, closes an editorial in
which the writer ridicules the extravagant
pretensions of the Samana Bay Company,
the glowing accounts which are given of the
natural attractions of the Island, its soil
aud climate, the agricultural and mineral
wealth with which it abounds, and the
prosperous State which the Company ex
pect to erect, as a great political and com
mercial center of the West Indies, with the
following warning protest against any at
tempt to complicate the United States Gov
ernment with their schemes. The editor
says:
We stipulate for only ono condition—that
as this is a private enterorise it shall remain
private. If the Samana Bay Company choose
to buy land in Santo Domingo of that power
ful potentate, Mr. Baez, by what they and
he are pleased to call a treaty, they must do
so at their own risk. If there shonlu come
down from the mountains with “the soft-
blowing winds ” from time to time, some of
Mr. Baez’s fellow-citizens, “ stealing, and
giving odors,” who do not choose to submit
to the terms of that “ treaty ” by which he
has sold away their country and their homes,
we beg leave to remind the S’.mana Bay
Company that they must take care of thenf-
selres. The Liberians have had, in their
time, some trouble with the outlying barba
rians, but they have not on that account ap
pealed to the government they left for pro
tection as American citizens. We commend
their example to Governor Fabeus. Baez
has not been without his little difficulties,
and if he cannot protect the colony the colony
will probably be called upon to protect him*.
Let it fight its ownbatfles under its own fiag,
aud not appeal to that of the United States
for protection. The peoplo of this country
hare decided that they do not want Santo
Domingo ; they will be quiifc as positive in
not accepting it upon compulsion.
The colonists are welcome to all they can
make out of it; to found an empire if the
negroes will let them; to raise unlimited
cotton; make sugar enough for all the world;
mine gold enough to pay off the national
debt in five years, when they have taken out
the eight millions of emigrants who are to
crowd their outward-bound ships. But all
thia they must remember is to be done by
private 'enterprise, with Mr. Baez as the
S arty of the first part and the Samana Bay
ompany as the party of the second part,
and the United States are not to be “counted
in.” The cotton and the sugar and the gold
and the bananas—these last we reckon ou
with entire confidence—we will take when
they are brought to us at a fair price; but
we do not accept the promise of them at the
price of annexation. The Peninsula and
Lav of Samana, with*its lands and waters,
its inlets, coves, harbors and. sand-bars; the
Republic of Santo Domingo, with its right of
way, its eminent domain, railroad subsidies,
mines, mountain breezes, ever-flowing
brooks, ever-blooming flowers, ever-tepiu
and crystal seas, are of its annexing, not
ours. It must take care of the sovereignty
which it has bought of Baez, and if it should
happen that that “likely negro” should need
help to carry out his treaty, we warn the
Company in time not to ask the Govern
ment of the United States to help them to
help Baez.
In an article, on the same subject the
Baltimore Gazette says: “It seems at pres
ent very doubtful whether the Samana Bay
Company will be able to show’ the United
States Government the great advantago of
their purchase, and the very great desira
bility of taking it off their hands at a profit.
Some of the stock is evidently not in the
possession of the New York Herald, as that
paper takes pains to give the opinions
of Congressmen as being that the present
scheme is impracticable. If it is purely a
speculation, it is a very bold one. It is
either, to use a common expression, “make
or break.” If the Government does not
take the bay for a naval station, it is hard to
see how the company will reimburse itself.
To declare Samana Bay a “free port for all
the world” will do no good, unless, at least,
some small portion of the world aforesaid
cares to go there. Its imports and exports
are not very flourishiifg at present.”
By the article from the New York World,
which wo publish in another column, giving
a report of an interview with the Haytien
Minister, it will be seen that dignitary re-
ards the Samana Bay purchase as a hope
less speculation.
What Radicalism has Accomplished in
South Carolina.
A correspondent of the New York Sun,
writing from Beaufort, S. C., draws a mel
ancholy picture of the condition of affairs in
that region, which, under the oppiessive
taxation following negro and carpet-bag
rule, seems given over to hopeless decay.
Vast fields of the richest lands of South
Carolina lying along the coast counties are
now in weeds, and year .by year the prospect
grows darker. But these abandoned planta
tions, though they have ceased to be pro
ductive, do not escaDe tho tax gatherer, aud
the consequence is a continual succession of
sheriff and tax sales, the land often selling at
one dollar or evjju less per acre.
This state of things has given the freed-
men great opportunities which they have
entirely failed to improve. For eight years
the negroes have been free, and these fer
tile plantations open for their cultivation
on the most liberal terms. The laws of
South Carolina have steadily favored them
in preference to the whites. All the bur
dens of taxation have been placed on the
white man’s back, aud a better chance for
the remunerative exercise of industry was
never offered to any people than has been
presented to the colored population of the
seaboard counties. But they have neglect
ed to take advantago of these favorable
conditions, preferring to turn their atten
tion to politics. They are charmed with the
thought that men of their color sit in the
legislative halls, and it is the ambition of
every ignorant field hand to figure as a
member of the Legislature at least, while
visions of still higher honors present them
selves in the imaginations of the more en
terprising.
There is not an American citizen of Afri
can descent in the Vhole State probably but
feels himself competent to assist in making
laws which, when put in print, he could not

eagerness to exercise their influence in po

have neglected to render themselves inde
pendent by honest industry, and have be
come the tools of adventurers who have en
riched themselves while ruining the people,
both black and white. And the spoils se

Meantime a more ragged, worthless, and

freedmen who have the supremo control of

their case it appears quite evident that the

their white neighbors either.
The heaviest corn crop ever grown in the
United States was that of last year, which
the Agricultural Report states at the huge
total of 1,100,000,000 bushels. Not only is
this the largest crop, but it is said to be
corn of better quality and of greater m-
trineic value than usual. Iowa was the ban
ner corn-growing State, her average being
nearlv forty-one bushels an acre. Un
fortunately for some of those who would like
to have the Iowa com, it takes the price o
four bushels of said com to get one bushel
to the Atlantic markets. This is one of the
reason, why some peoplo are demanding
cheaper transportation between the West
and tho East. — , -

Aerial Telegraph.—A bill has passed
Congress, and only awaits the President’s
signature to become a law, incorporating
tho Aerial Telegraph Company. It is pro
posed by the company to telegraph from the
highest point in the Rocky Mountains to the
highest attainable peak in the Alps. The
Washington Republican says that at each of
these points a tower is to be erected, on the
top of which an apparatus capable of con
centrating electricity is to be put, by means
of which, it is claimed, a strata of atmos
phere will be reached of peculiar electric
sensibility. It is claimed that tho s^ghtest
pulsation of one tower will produce a cor
responding pulsation at the other.
Cotton for Fortifications—An Impor
tant Precedent Established—An impor
tant case was disposed of, on Friday, by the
House Committee of Claims, being that of
Cowan & Dickinson, Senate bill No. 96. The
claim is for a large amount of cotton, nearly
three hundred bales, (valued at about $50,-
000,) used in building fortifications by Gen
eral Buell, and is the first case allowed of
that class. Some other cases of that charac
ter are pending, and will probably pass where
the proof is satisfactory, the committee be
ing disposed to treat cotton as practically on
the same footing as lumber or timber used in
fortifications.

that neither the silence of the Rev. Henry

Petersburg, on account of the neglect of
sanitary precautions in that city. The soil
upon which the houses are built is saturated
with sewage, and the canals which intersect
the city are great open sewers, and at the
same time sources of water supply to a por
tion of the population. The amount of
filth deposited in the canals is so great tha*
the authorities, it is said, are afraid to dis
turb it for the purpose of removal, lest the
attempt should cause a pestilence. St.
Petersburg, however, is probably in no worse
condition than most Oriental cities.
The ChidBgo Post, a Republican journal,
says:
Among the local political issues in Phila
delphia, that for police reform is prominent.
The present force is accused of robbing
prisoners, blackmailing pan'1-house keepers
and loafing in bar-rooms, while the detective
force is so worthless that banks, brokers and
business men will not trust them to guard
their interests..
At the October and November elections
that police force escorted the repeaters from
New York through Philadelphia and pro
tected them in voting any given number of
times. Is it any wonder that the Ku-Klux
flourishes in that city ? The police of Phila
delphia are worse than the Ku-Klux of the
South ever were, and yet they carry on their
nefarious practice with perfect impunity.
According to the New Orleans Republt-
can, orders have been received by General
Emory from Washington to recognize Gov

give all necessary support to his administra

with troops and cannon, and run the Gov
ernment upon strictly military principles.
The Postmaster General was before the

Too much wheat, it seems, was raised in
California last summer. There are not
enough store-houses there to hold the crop,
or ships enough coming to San Francisco to
carry away the surplus. Many thousands
of bushels remain unthrashed in the fields,
and, although freights are double the rates
of the previous year, a hundred ships at
least could be filled up with the wheat now
stored in San Francis* o. Truly the Golden

TIIE LOUISIANA IMBROGLIO.
New Orleans, January 21.—In the Kel

W. A. Elmore telegraphs H. Vogden, a
member of the Louisiana Committee in
Washington, as follows:
“In his statement to the President, as pub

ney General Williams says that on the morn
ing of the twenty-second of November, El
more proceeded with an armed mob and
seized the Eighth District Court, before the
hour to which it had adjourned. This state
ment is utterly false. Having been duly
elected Judge of the Eighth District by a ma
jority of over ten thousand votes, commis
sioned and sworn, I opened tho court with
out objection. There was no mob present,
armed or unarmed. About half an hour af
terwards, Judge Debbell appeared with ex-
Sheriff L. Anoiue and attempted to take pos
session of the court. Thereupon I ordered
Harper, the recognized Sheriff of the Court,
to eject them. This was done, and Harper,
is the recognized Sheriff of all the courts.”
THE LOUISIAN A SENATOR.

McMillan, Senator elect of tho Fusion Leg

here. He served as a Surgeon in the Rus
sian army during the Crimean war,was dec
orated by the Czar for distinguished ser
vices, commanded a regiment of Ohio vol

reports from the scene of Friday’s battle

of the white troops were killed and thirty
jvimnded. Lieut. Roberts, of Fairchild’s
command, cannot live. The Modocs fought
with the greatest desperation, springing
from rock to rock, picking off tho soldiers
and obliging many of them to hide them
selves till darkness afforded means for their
escape. The troops made several charges
along the line of lava beds, bnt were re
pulsed. The howitzers could not be used to
advantage, owing to a dense fog. Captain
Jack has the strongest natural position in
