The Income Tax.
The New York Times says: " Tbe Income
tax teems doomed. Tbe movement in the
Boose for its immediate abolition has derived
strength from the statements of the new Com
missioner of Internal Bevenne. And now the
Senate follows with a two-thirds vote making
the consideration of a bill terminating the tax
the special order for Taeeday next. That vote
does not absolutely determine the question of
repeal, hot it indicates a decided change ot
opinion where hostility to reduction ot taxation
has been strongest. Mr. Kelley, we trust, will
not allow the subject to sleep In tbe House. Tbe
income tax, always odtoot, has become unendu
rable. Public opinion is united on nothing more
earnestly than in the demand for its repeal.
Tbe Georgia Senator*.
Tbe news lrotn Washington indicates that there
will be two repots from the Judiciary Committee
oi the Senate on the Georgia Senatorial ques
tion—a majority report recommending Hill &
Miller to be seated, aad a minority report in fa
vor ot a new election. Tbe question as to
Blodgett’s seat seems to be in greater doubt.
His party claim that unless he be seated there
will'be a vacancy when the term of Senator
Miller expires, the 4th March next, as the Leg
islature does aot meet until next November, ms-
less specially convened by the Governor. If the
Legislature should be coureoed a Democrat
would certainly be elected. This will be an
additional argument with them for seating
Blodgett.

The Albany See* says: This great work Is now
progressing wttn vigorous activity. Colonel
Halbert is, with upwards of sir hundred bauds,
grading and laying track. He has probably
reached the Atapeba with the track laying,
while a large grading force is working fifteen
miles this side.
Colonel Charles L Schlatter returned to oar
city on Wednesday morning to place contrac
tors on the line eastward from the Flint, and
yesterday, with Messrs Overton and Lewis,
went out on the survey. Tbe latter gentlemen,
we believe, have a contract extending thirty one
miles east, and we are glad to announce that
nomerooi applications tor subcontractors jus
tify tbe supposition that this section will be
completed as early as the Alapoha section.
The lion. Benjamin H. HDI, In his late ad
dress to tbe people of Georgia, says:
“ Add to these views the well-known fact that
tbe great body of the Northern people regard
the treed'.m and the civil and political equality
of the net to as a great national philanthropic
and religious result, and yoo most agree with
me that the hope oi a change at tne North,
which would obliterate liteao amendments,
mast be abandoned.”
Mr. Hill is entirely mistaken in the pnblic
opinion ol the North on tbe negro suffrage
queattou. We are safe in saying tbat seven
tenths ot the people oi the North are opposed
to negro suffrage In every tilale, except Iowa,
it has been d. tested, whenever it has been sub

Batata ~
The Island of Ban Dominfto' wu formerly
ovroetf by frtaei and Spain. By a treaty
B»dr hetweetr-ttese- powers- in 4785, Spain
cedsd.to France her territory In and sovereign
ty over'the Island.. These were subsequently
restored to Spain by- tbe treaty ot the allied
powers In 1814; and subsequent)^ lo 1830, by
an ordinance of King Charles tho-Nlb ot
France, the Independence oltho French part'of
the Island wu acknowledged upon- certain con
dition*,, which it seems were all afterwards com
plied with.
Tbo independence ol 4he Dominican Repub
lic, the Spanish part ot the Island, wu declared
and a constitution for its government proclaimed
in 1831. It entered into treaties of commerce
and navigation with various foreign powers be
tween that period and 1355, when it concluded
a treaty with, and its independence was ac^
know led ged by Spain. In 1845, during Resi
dent Polk's administration, that government
having applied to oar government tor recogni
tion, a special agent wu sent to the island to
Inquire into iu condition, extent, population and
resources. This special agent, Mr. Hogan, ma le
a highly favorable report ol the resources and
of the character ot the population.
Durirg the administration ot Mr. Pierce,
Captain, afterwards Major General Geo.~BT
McClellan, wu tent to survey the Bay and
Peninsula oi Samani, and a valuable report
made by him. Efforts were made under
the administration of Mr. Pierce to negotiate a
general treaty with that Republic, which did
not result favorably, and to the satisfaction of
the Department of State. Afterwards, in 1856,
our Commercial Agent at Son Domingo, wrote
to the department that President Santana had
Informed him that the treaty would immedi
ately be attended to and concluded u soon u
possible. Daring that year the Bponiah govern
ment, through its charge and Consul General
brought to bear its Influence against the adop
tion oi the American treaty; and the Consuls
ot Spain, England, and France, had a secret
interview with the Dominican Cabinet, the ob
ject of which wu the withdrawal of the Amer
ican treaty. They declared that it would uever
be permitted for the people ot the United Slates
to have a foot hold iu the Dominican Republic.
This information wu communicated to tbe
government at Washington by its Commercial
Agent, and the same day he wrote that he was
authorised to offer to the United Slates “not
only any location in the Bay of Samana for
their purposes, but the cool mines on that har
bor and other commercial advantages they re
quire.” This wu on the 10th September 1856.
On the 30th October following, the Acting Com
mercial Agent notified the department of a
change in the government, unfriendly to the
United Stales. Daring tie war between the
Stales, Spain look advantage of our internal
distentions, and attempted to repoeaess tbe por
tion of the bland over which abe formally held
dominion. Alter sacrificing many lives Spain
abandoned the contest.
In August, 1865, a provisional government
wu established aad a call made for the election
of delegatee to a convention to form a constitu-
Uon. A strong feeling wu evinced in favor of
a more intimate connection with this country,
and the consular officer ot the United Slates
wrote to tbe Department tbat if it was still the
desire o( the Government to obtain a naval sta
tion in the Bay of Samana he wu sure it could
be obtained. Bat soon afterward another revo
lution took place and the provisional govern
ment wu superseded, and a “ Protector oi the
Republic,” declared. Tha Government then
underwent several changes until Cabral' went
into power u president. The new government
lost no time in conveying to tbe United States
Government iu willingness to part with some
ol its possessions in Santana. In November,
1866, secret negotiations were opened with our
Government by Cabral for a loon, and in the
event of the former not acceding to the prop
osition tor a loan, the latter offered to lease lo
the former the Islands in the Bay of Samana for
a naval station. The opportunity being re
garded by our Government u a favorable one
for securing (be advantages it had long bad in
view, the Assistant Secretary of State attended
by Bear Admiral Porter, in January, 1367, pro
ceeded to tbe city ol San Domingo invested
with powers to conclude a convention with the
Dominican Republic for the cession or lease ot
the peninsula ana bay of Samana. Their mis
sion tailed to secure the advantage* contempla
ted. Tbe Dominican Government declined to
make an absolute sale ot any territory, bat
offered to lease tbe Cayes Lcvanticr., which
commando] the entrance to the bty of Samana
and the adjacent waters. This did hot suit the
purposes ol the United States Government, and
the negotiations terminated without any result.
Other negotiations were afterwards opened with
President Cabral but they were abruptly termi
nated in March, 1868, by tbe downfall of bis ad
ministration aad tbe re-inalatement of General
Baez u President ot the Kepa 'lie, wbo re
opened segbtiations with our Government.—
These negotiations resulted in the mission of
General Babcock to San Domingo, who returned
to the United States and reported favorably
upon the disposition ol the people and govern
ment toward the annexation ot tbe territory to
tbe United State*. He wu directed to retnrn
and negotiate a treaty for that purpose. The
result ot hi* second mission is the treaty ot an
nexation which is now before the United Sia'ea
Senate, and which bka been so fiercely assailed
by Senator Stunner. Tbe only action the Senate
bu taken upon the subject It tbe appointment
ol a commission, wbicb is now oo iu way to
Ban Domingo, to procare further Information in
relation to the condition of IbiDgi there, u
preliminary to the final action of that body.
The Span ah portion of the Island ol San
Domingo—the Dominican Republic—is thinly
populated; tbe estimates vary from 150/00
to 300,000. Tbe soil ia represented to be ex
ceedingly fertile and capable of a productive
power beyond any corresponding extent of the
I.land ol Cab*. The prime object of the United
btales bu been to secure a naval station in the
Bay ol Samana, which i* said to be the key to
Mon* Channel, which i« “ the gate to the Car-
rtbeaa Sea, and lb* lathma* Of Panama.”
President Greet ha* brought al) hi* influence
to bear in favor ot ih* adoption of Ibe pending
treaty, and there is liufo doubt that bia effort*
wM ha crowned with success. The enemies of
the treaty have impugned bia motive* by attrib
uting to him a desire to advance bts own pecu
niary interest* by this measure. Be this u it
may, tha prize offered to oar government i* oo*
which might be well coveted by any power.

The Linton Stephens’ Trial.
The arguments in this case were concluded
yesterday. Tbe evidence against Mr. Stephens,
amounted to this, that be caused the arrest ol
tbe Judges ol election fur Hancock conn'y for
ttceiring illegal votes, votes which the; knew,
and were duly warned of the fact were illegal.
Tbe defense wa«, that Mr. Stephens bad a
constitutional right to prevent such illegal vot
ing, and tbat bis proceedures were in no way
calculated to prevent any votes being cast as a
new board ot managers were at once organized
and tbe election proceeded with, without delay,
and tbat Mr Stepbens did not in any manner,
way, shape or form, prevent or intimidate any
voter trom costing bis ballot. This ia tha sub
stance of tbe charge and detente. The prosecu
ting Attorney, Sir. Bedford, opened tbe argu
ments, and was answered on Saturday by
Messrs. Anderson and De Graffenried in speech
es, replete with solid learning, evincing a fall
knowledge of the laws governing the cose,and
sprinkled over with fi ghts ol brilliant elo-
qu* nee. worthy ol the nigbesl names of tbe

tbat tbe charge would uever be for a moment
tenable belore a jury of intelligent men. We

Mr Stephens addressed the court for nearly
three hours yesterday morning, and we iball
