To and Horn of Represents 1 luivo tho honor to submit here with to tho two houses of Congress tho rr ijrt of tho Commissioners appointed in pursuance of a joint resolution ap proved January 12th, 1871. It will ho observed that this report more than sustains all that I have horejftfore said in regard to tho produetivWoss and liualthfulnoss of tlio Republic of San Domingo; of tho unanimity of tho people lor annexation to tho United States; and of their poacoabk) charac ter. It is due to the public as it cer tainly is to myself, that 1 should hero • „ivo all tho circumstances which first lid to tho negotiation of a treaty for •ho annexation of the Republic of San Domingo to tlm United States. When 1 accepted tho arduous and . rospon.fi • pic position which I now hold, I did. not dream of instituting any steps for the acquisition of "insular possessions. 1 believed, however, that our institu tions wore broad enough to extend over tho entire continent, as other poo dle might desire to bring themselves under our protection. 1 believed fur ther, that wo should not permit any independent Government, within tho limits of North America, to pass from u condition of independence to one of ownership, or protection under an Eu ropean power. Soon after my inauguration as l’ros ident, I was waited upon by ail agent of President Baez, with a proposition to annex tho Republic of Ban Domin go to the United States. This gent’o man represented tho capacity of the Island, the desire of the people, and their character and habits about as they have been described by tho Com missionors whose roport accompanies this message, 110 stated, further, that being weak in numbers and poor iu purse, they were not capable of devel oping their great resources ; that tho people had no incentive to industry on account of tho lack of protection for their accumulations, and that if not ac cepted by tho United States, which, with institutions beloved above those of any other nation, would be com pelled to seok protection elsew herb’.— To these statements I made no reply, aud gave no indication of what I tlio’t of the proposition. In tho course of time I was waited upon by a second gentleman, who made the samo rep-, mentations, aud who was received in like manner. In view of tho facts which hail boon laid before me, and with an earnest desire to maintain tho Monroe Doctrine 1 believed that I would ho derelict in my duty, if I did not take measures to ascertain tho exact wishes of the gov ernment and inhabitants of tho Bo publio of Ban Domingo in regard to annexation, and communicate tho in iomiation to tlie people of tbo United States. Under tlio attending circum stances, I felt, that, if I turned a deaf car to this appeal, I might in tho fu ture ho justly charged with a flagrant neglect of tho public interest, ami an utter disregard of tho welfare of a down trodden raco, praying for the blessings of a free and strong govern ment, and for protection in the enjoy ment of tho fruits of their own indus : try. Those opposers of annexation, ivlio have heretofore professed to bo lirominontly tlio friends of tho rights us man, I believed would bo my most, v iolont assailants, if I neglected so dear a duty. Accordingly, after having appointed 11 Commissioner to visit "the Island, 'dio declined on account of sickness, I selected a second gentleman, in whose capacity, judgment and integrity 1 “ad, and have yet, the most unbounded confidence. He visited San Domingo, net to sccuro or hasten annexation, , jut, unprejudiced and unbiased, to . ' aru all the facts about the govern- | nrent, the people and the resources of l “at Republic. Ho wont, certainly, j as well prepared to mako an uu avor- , 1° report as a favorable one, if tiro j ‘acts warranted it Ilis report fully corruborates tiro views of previous wumissioners, and upon its receipt I' 'lt that a senso of duty and duo rc tfud for our Government’s great na troual interests required mo to nego ‘“do a treaty for the acquisition of tiro ““public of San Domingo, j 3 SOOTI as it became publicly known ‘•lat-such a treaty had beou negotiated, *}° attention of the country was oecu H'judice tho minds of tho pooplo in j le caro i and with aspersions upon . 1 . ,J50 whose duty had connected them u 1 Amidst tho exeitemenst thus n . q die treaty failed to receive the ' quisito two-ihirds veto of tho Senate aiu was rejected ; but whether tlic ac ■''U °f that body was based upon tho j“ utsol tho treaty, or might not have jwn lll some degree influenced by such “ oundod allegations, could not bo j- “’an by the people, becauso tho do -1“s nf the Senate in. [the secret sos • a arc not published. Under these ‘rciunstances I deomod it due to tho “ which I hold, and duo the char ge 1 tho agents who* had boon witli tho investigation, that [j l ,r °coedingß should bo had as enable tho people to .know tho ~ 1 A commission was therefore “situtod. under authority of Coii- Con sisting of gentlemen selected a 1 s l'ecial reference to their high ***" au d capacity for the labori 'erk entrusted to them, who were instructed to visit tho spot and ropiort upon tho facts. Other eminent citi zoiih wore requested to accompany tho Commission, in order that the people might have tho benefit of their views. •Students of science and correspondents of the press, without regard to politic al opinions, wore invited to join tho expedition, and their numbora were limited only by the capacity of the vessel. Dio mere rejection by tho Senate of a treaty negotiated by tho l’rcsidont, only indicates a dillbrouce of opinion between two co-ordinate departments of tiro Government, without touching the character or wounding the pride oi either ; but when such rejection takospdace simultaneously withohargee openly mado of corruption on tho part ot tho President, or of those employed by him, tho case is different. Indeed, in such coso tlm boiler of tho nation demands investigation. This lias been accomplished by tiro report of the Commissioners herewith transmitted, and which fully vindicates its purity of the motives and action of those who represented tho United States in tho negotiation. And now my task is finished, and with it ends aM personal solicitude up on the subject. My duty being done, yours begins, aud I gladly hand over tao whole matter to tho judgment of tho American people, and of tho rep resentatives in Congress assembled. — The facts will now bo spread before tho country, and a dean ion rendered by that tribunal, whoso" convictions so seldom err, and against whose will I have no policy to enforce. My opin ion remains unchanged. Indeed, it is confirmed by the report that tho in terests of our country, and of San Do mingo alike, invite the annexation of that Republic. In view of the difference of opinion upon this subject, I suggest no action to t be taken art the present session be yond the printing and general dissem ination of the report, before the next session of Congress. The people will have considered tho subject and formed an intelligent opinion concerning it— to which opinion deliberately made up it will bo tho duty of every department of tho Government to give heed, and no one will more cheerfully conform to it than myself. It is not only tho theory of our Constitution, that tho will of the people, constitutionally ex pressed, is tho supremo law; hut I have ever believed that all men are wiser than any one man, and if the people, upon a full presentation of tho facts shall decide that tho annexation of the Republic is not desirable, ov ery department of tho Government ought to acquiosco in that decision. In again submitting to Congress a ■ subject upon which public sentiment lias been diviled, aud which has boon . made the occasion of acrimonious do j bates iu Congress, as well as of unjust aspersions, I may, I trust, be indulged in a single remark. No man can hope to perform duties so delicate and re sponsible, ns pertain to the Presiden tial office, w ithout^omotimes incurring , the hostility of those who deem their j opinions and wishes treated with in ! sufficient consideration, and ho who undertakes to couduct the affairs of a ! great Government, as a faithful public servant, if sustained by tho approval ,of his own conscience, may rely in 1 confidence upon tho candor aud iutel ’ ligoaco of a free people, whoso best iu , terests ho has striven to subserve, and can bear with patience tho censure of , disappointed men. i [Signed] U.

Drr.u t.Tixo Rkvexub Coij.ectous.— A late answer of Secretary Deutwcil to a 1 louse resolution of inquiry es tablishes tho fact that there tiro over threo hundred collectors of internal revenue who have defaulted; and ; that, after all deductions are made, there is still duo to the government an aggregate sum of nearly twenty-one millions of dollars. The figures, tak en from the Secretary’s report on tiiis subject, are as follows : Amount due from collector# of inter im! revenue ~>21,581,487 S3 From Which deduct amount due to collectors of internal rcvouuo— 468,170,70 Agere;' ito 01 balances due from col lectors 20,0.6,0n C 4 I,CBs amount deposited on account oi internal revenue since June 3", .Balance due the United States. .d;.. 2H,7 0,083 33 Os these threo hundred defaulters only fifty have boon sued on their bonds. To the calls in tho resolution for tho cause of removal in each ease, the Secretary says: “The records of this Department would in somo cases furnish a reason fur removal; hut it is not possible to respond to that part of the* resolution in tho manner apparent ly contemplated.” It is to be regretted that tho Secretary did not find it pos sible to let it bo known what possibly a more thorough examination of the records might discloso. — Sao. News. Tun newly installed Emporor of Germany has issued an order declar ing all marriages entered into by of ficers of the Prussian army without his consent, as null and void thus degrading tho lawful wives of a con siderable number of army officers to concubines. It appears that just pre vious to the breaking out of tho Gcr man-Franco war, a largo number of Prussian army officers were married. Tho tiuio was brief; they had to hur r\ to their several commands, and there was no time to apply for and obtain tho royal consent. Many of them have fallen on tho battle-field, and the King stubbornly refusing to revoke his cruel order, their widowed wives have no claims to tho names and worldly possessions of their bus bands, ami tho children arc lllegiti mate. — Sm-. -A DAWSON, GA., THURSDAY APRIL 13, 1871 Thts East Milestone, Sixty year* through nliiuc and hlurlow, Sixty years, my -vnth wife, You aud / have walki and together Down the m >-vd rondos lift.

[Nuto. —Tho following story being a" true one, we have boon compelled to give fictitious nam c s of porous, espec ially as all tho parties, so far as wo know, arc still living, aud some of them in this city. The oecuronco took place during tho last war.] I sat iu the oflico of Dr. Munson, chatting of things in general. Finally tho conversation changed, aud the last war was talked of, called out by a pic ture of Sheridan’s ride, that hung over tho mantle. “I beiievo I never tobl you how I figured as a detective during tho war? ’ said tho Doctor. “No.” “Well, I will toll your of one instance that happened, in this city, and it you eliooso you can write it out for publi cation. The papers only got an ink ling of it at that time.” “Very well; spin your story.” Wo give tho Doctor’s story as near as we can recollect it. I was at tho time of which I speak stationed at Cincinnatti; I held a Cap tains commission, being iu tho Adju tant General’s department. Brovious ly, while in Washington City, I had become quite well acquainted with Se cretary Stunfou. One day I received a letter from him asking mo to em ploy half a dozen detectives, and sot them to work hunting up deserters, aud to perform such other duties as might from time to time be required of them. I employed several of our best knowu officers, and put them to ; work. Wo sent several renegades back to their regiments, but had done i otliing of any importance.' One day I received a dispatch from Stanton to | keep a lookout for a Mrs. Long mead, living, when at homo, some mil> s north of Oineiunatti, but in an adjoining county. Tho Secretary said ho had it on good authority that Longmead was carrying dispatches for the ene my. Without giving tho detectives a hint of the news I had hoard I told them to notofy mo of any arrivals of ladies at tho hotels. I knew Airs. L. very well as 6ho at tended tho same college with mo at Oxford some years before. A detective notified me that there was a strange lady stopping at the Broadway, 110 gave a desciption of her, and I felt sure it was Airs. L., al though I told him lie was mistaken.— I then sent for another detoctivo, whom I had selected for the purpose, and told him to take board at tho Broad way, and to watch tho movement of a certain lady dressed in black.. A few days days after this occur rence another detoctivo eumo and re ported that two ladies had arrived from tho country in a hack,had gone on the steamer Glendale, hound feouth I ur* tlicrnioro, that they had an oxtia a inount of baggago Tho captain was notofied that his bout must not leavo without orders. Tho following morning two officers wero sent to tho boat with ordcis to converso with the suspicious ladies, and if they refused to allow their baggage j to bo searched, to bring them up to tho office under arrest. An hour after ward tho officers came to the office with tho ladies and two very large trunks. lof course affected ignorance and inquired tho cause of tho trouble. They told a very plain story. Then I inquired of the officer w hat it oil meant, and ho said they had opium in their trunks. “Only enough for fam ily use,” retorted the younger of tho ladies. I examined tho truuk and fouud fifteen pounds of opium and a largo amount of quinine. NVhon tho ladies entered tho office I recog nized them as being the mother and sister of Mrs. Longmead, although 1 did not make myself known seeing that they did not recognize mo. Mrs. Schuyler and daughter were in much trouble at tho idea of being caught with contrabands of war in their pos session. I told thorn they must con sider themselves under arrest, and .uj wo had no military prison suitable for tho incarceration of ladies, they must choose a hotel, whore they would be -kept iu a room under guard. They mado choice of tho Burnet House, whither they wore conveyed in a buck. As I was assisting Miss Bfiiuylor into tho hack and defending her skirts from contact with tho wheel of tho vehido -I became aware that her drosses wore unusually weighty; how ever, 1 said nothing then, but when I reached tho Burnett Jlouso 1 told tho young lady she must retire a.,d take off an undergarment which I named. She feigned indignity ut my ruderteO>, but I told her nono was intended, but tho skirt I must have. After many tearful protestations and assurances that I had already taken‘everything that she had that was contraband of war, she finally retired to her room and brought uio tho skirt —and such a ono as it was. On examination I found that it contained nearly ono thousand dollars worth of quinine. As I learned afterwards two of them had boon threo months in quilting tho quinine in tho garment. On tho morning following that on which I made the arrest, I entered my office a little late, and, as 1 expected, ' found Mrs. Longmead, eistor to one prisoner and daughter to the [other. I did uot seem to rocognizo her, but took a seat and inquired if tlicro was ; anything I could do to promote hoi' welfare. “Yes, sir; I have called to get a pass to go to Nashville.” “You do not need a pass, madam. Our troops hold every point between this and Nashville.” “I know, but I would feel safer with a pass.” . “I can. not give you one, but if thoro is any trouble, you can got one at Lou isville.” But I understand that you are ar resting ladies right hero in Cincin nati.” “Yes, wo did arrest your . mother and sister, yesterday, Mrs Longmead ” The effect was instantaneous. She sprang to her feet with all the fury and malignity of tlio tigor in her eyes. “How dare you you, sir, address mo as Mrs. Longmead. 1 don’t know you, sir.” “Ah ! perhaps you remember one certain Jack Munson, at Oxford, some years ago.” “1 have not tho faintest idea of who yon are. You are laboring under a mistake, for my name is not Long mead.” “I know you did not register at tho Bro.idway uuder that name, but nev ertheless your real name is Mrs. Long mead.” “At the Broadway ! When did I airive there ?” “On Thursday last.” “And what do you propose doing with rao ?” “I shall bo compelled to place you under guard; so givo me tho keys of your trunk, and.! will iiavo your.bag gage searched and then sent to you.” Mrs. Longmead acknowgod that sho was caught, and requested to bo sent to the Burnett House, with her moth er and sister, aud thither wo did scud her. I now telegraphed Stanton that the birds hud been caged, aud requested that they bo turned over to tho com mander of this department, which was accordingly done. The Gem ral always took mo along when lie visited thorn at tho Burnet J Lome. 1 talked to iris L.,'while the General talked to tho mother and daughter. Now it so happened that in tho General’s younger days Mrs. L. had Loon his sweetheart, and Hover did I sco a woman so artfully wrap a man around her finger as Mistress L. did General . Tlio result was that those threo female spies went scot free.' It was during those conversa tions that Airs. L. confessed to me the part sho had taken. Whon tho war began sho wont to Canada, and there, by some means, obtained papers certifying that sho was a British subject. Sho then wont to Washington and obtained the sig j nature of tlio British Minister, and I then to Air. Stanton, and, on tho ! strength of her paper, obtained a pass .ii ii. . tt. : .. f.. through the Union hues to luehmomt. After" transacting her business, she came West, and approaching tho Un ion lines on tho head-waters of Big Sandy, was halted and conveyed to the head-quarters of a distinguished Indiana general. She rode in a car riage, and had quite a retinuo of ser vants, representing herself to bo an English woman suffering from rheu matism. Tito General Commanding, hoping to bluff her, proposed to send her to the Surgeon General of tho De partment for examination. Nothing daunted, sho thanked him and re quested that sho he sent immediately. Tho Surgeon had lior carried up to IPs office, she affec i ig un ch pain. Sho removed her shoes aud stockings. Her feet and ankles were much swollen (not from rheumatism, but from walk ing).' The loai'iiod Surgeon took up liis stethoscope and placed it to her heart. She was more than a match for him here, for sho was tho only person I had ever mot with who could cause her own heart to palpitate when sho chose. The doctor listened but a moment, threw down the instrument, and bogged her pardon for doubting her voracity. Sho was carriod back to her carriage, and given a pass uud sent northward rejoicing. At another timo she had some dis patches to 6Qnd southward. Thoro was a rogimont of soldiers going up tho Kentucky Central Railroad tUnt day. Dressed ns an Irish servant girl {and sho could assume the character to pyrfcetioii), she succeeded in get- Aag one of tho soldiers to pass hor on the train as his wife. After tho train had started, Iho authorities at Cinciu natti loarnod that she had gone, and, suspecting her errand, telegraphed to Lexington, giving ‘a description of tho woman, and ordering her arrest, but by some moans no action was taken until tho next morning. In the mean time tho train had arrived at Lexing ton.• Airs. L. walked two miles into tho country, borrowed a liorso, redo twelve miles further, and, meeting a man on tho road whom sho know, gave him her dispatches, and told him to deliver thorn at a certain robed gen eral, s headquarters. Bho thon rode back to where the liorso had boon bor rowed, and afterward walked to Lex ington, and, unmolested, took tho af ternoon train for Covington. Tho au thorities, learning that sho had gono to the country on her arrival at Lex iugton, were in hot pursuit When they got into Lexington sho was far on hor way. A dispatch was forward ed to a prominent Covington detect ive to arrest hor by all means on arriv al at that city. Bomo friendly station operator placed a copy of this dispatch in hor hands, .Bho was then in a great strait. Seeing Leslie Combs, wife and daughter, sitting a few scats ahead of hor in the coach, sho sat down near them, and soon drew tho ladies into conversation. Sho told them her hus band was a soldier, aud that sho had induced him to desert, and for this of fense sho was to ho arrested on her arrival at Covington. Her pitiful sto ry, with many tears, enlisted tho sym pathy of tho ladies, and finally the vouerablo Kentuckian himself. At that timo tho roar door of the roar car of an incoming train was always kept locked, when arriving at the depot. Arrangements were mado (that this door should not be locked on this oc casion. Whon tho train arrived Air. Combs assisted Mrs. L. on tlio roar platform of tho car whilo tho dotect ivos watched tho platforms between tho two cars, and Mis. Combs and her daughter came vory near being ar rested. Airs. L having alighted, and seeing a h ick standing near, ran to it, and jumping in, told tlio driver to car ry lior to Newport ferry as quickly as possible, which ho did. Thoro she ulighted, paid him, aud crossed over on tho ferry, walking up tho bank. Bho entered tho Pendleton cars, going * ust Rs far as Ivmnper Lano. Shu walked up to the top of the hill. ’Here everything being quiet, sho had timo to pauso and reflect Taking a survey of tho country, and shaping her course, she at onto sot out and walked more than a dozen miles to her homo, where she arrived before morning. Airs. L. told mo that, when her mother and sister took passage on tho steamer Glendale, tho latter had im portant dispatches concealed in tho barrel of a small Smith & Wesson’s pistol; but tie soouer did sho find that they would be arrested than she walked to tho stnto-room door, fired off the pistol, and then threw it into tho rivor. “What li<w bocomo of this family of precious rebels ?” we asked, for wo had become quite interested in-the story. The doctor replied : “As soon as tho war closed they pack ed up bag and baggago and wont to Virginia, where, I suppose, they aro now living. J. 11. K.
