The San Bomingans Not So Anx- fous for Annexations Universal Amnesty to be One of the Strong Points of the Message. The President Declines Military Inter- ference in the Louisiana Difficulty. The Alabama Political Arrests Con- demned by the Adminis- irations The, Chicago Relief Fund for Boston, Special Despateh to The Chicago Tribune, SAN DOMINGO. ‘WasmINGTON, D. C., Nov. 19.—Judge Bullivan, who has important interests in. San Domingo, arrived here a few days ago from that island. Hohashad an interview with the Preeident; whereat e communicated some facts connected with San Domingo, and its proposed annexation to the United States, It ifipflnm from the state~ ment, of Judge Sullivay, that the people of San Demingofare affronted at the invidious allusions made to them in the newspapers of the United States, and during the debate in the Senate on the San Domingo Treaty. They think that, alto- gethar, they have been_ badly treated, and they are not quitc 80 anxious for annexation as they wero & your ago. Notwithstanding all that bas been said about them, President Baez, the Judge says, has the majority of the peofifla of San Domingo with him, and they naturally re- sented the unfriendly allusions made to him by Senator Sumner and others. ‘Baez saya if the people of the United States are not anxious for the annexation of San Do- mingo, his peoplo will not forco the matter. He believes in the sincority of President Grant,and, since the late clection, ho thinks tho majority of the people of the United Statos are with the President. ‘T“"%f Sullivan saya the crops in San Domingo have becn universally good this year. The Island is altogether prosperous, and the people are correspondingly independont. In addition to this, tho agents of foreign governments, more especially tho'agent of the German Confedera- tion, hag been actively st work to dissuade the Government and people against annexation to tho United States. The Haytiens, too, bave their emissaries in San Domingo, all working against annexation. Notwithstanding all this, §ndge Sullivanis of the opinion that there will bo no trouble, if our Government ehows a disposition to act in good faith. A new treaty will have to be made, and the Dominicans will insist on more liberal terms_than were offered in tho original treaty. One of the points made byihe agentsof the Europesn Governments is, that the original treaty conceded entirely too much to the United States, and with this the Dominicans have be- come tolerably impressed. At the same time, Baez is still anxious for annexation, and will use bis influence in_ favor of it. As aiready stated in theso despatches, the question will bo gmnght bere Congrees at the present seasion. PROTECTION TO IMMIGRANTS. Tho President in his annual message will de- vote special attention to the question of a better protection to immigrants. The Treasury De- artment long since made the discovery that the aws relating to this subject storo insufiicient, and & report from this Department, together with a bill to regulate the matters complained of, was laid before tho last Congress. The bill bas been most carefully coneidered, and is sololy designed to secure good ireatment and good food to emigrants on board of ships, and safe, cheap, and_speedy transportation on railways. The bill failed only becauss of the press of busi- ness last session and the promix}anca given to ‘matters of & political naturp, . BELIEF FOR BOSTOf. A part of the Chicagodonetiod to Boston, just after the late fire, consisted of an unexpened balance of about $30,000 remaining in the bands of the District of Columbia authorities, under the $100,000 voted at the last session of the Legislature hero for the Chicago Relief Fund. Mr. Hammond, of Chicago, came on here, & fow days since, to look after the payment of the money, in order that it might be paid atonce to the Boston sufferers. Whilehere, it wasstated that the bonds which were voted to raise thia money had been negotiated and the proceeds used for other purposes, by some of the parties to whoso trust they had been confided. On the other hand, the following statement of the eit- uation is given: That Mr. Hammond's suthor- ity to collect this fund was not recognized, the only authority in this instance being an official requisition from Mayor Medill for the turning over of the funds as above designated. It is stated that whenever this requisition is made the money will be immediately forthcoming. There are Bome members of the Local Relief Committes who held that Chicago hes not the right to designate what use shall be made of this money, after that city has concluded she has no necessity forit. There are severs local differ- ences in this Committes, which make some of the statements purely partisan. REVENUE MATTERS—AN ORIGINAL IDEA. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue will submit to Congress an _importent proposition, which is understood to have originated. in hig own mind, by which the dificulties anticipated by the Department on account of the re- duction of the number of revenue Colloctors and Assessors by the first of January next is expected to be atlesst partially over- come. The suggestion is to abolish entirely the offices of Assessor and Assistant Assessor, and sppoint_ in their stead a Deputy Collec- tor and a stated number of Assistant Deputy Collectors to_each Collector remaining after ihe already ordered reduction. By thi: means it is calculated a saving to the Govern- ment of something in the mneighborhood of £5,000,000 per year in salaries, of- fico rents, etc, alone would sccrue, and, in & measure, the necessity of apparently discriminating against some parties in"the reduction as now intended could be avoided; besides, it is claimed that the revenue will be moreeffectually collected than now. This, to say the least, i8 & commendable ‘plan, and has tho sdvantsge of the promised support of several prominent members of Con- ress. " If the suggestion should be so complete Tn its details as your correspondent is led to believe, Commissioner Douglass will doubtless receive due credit for its organization. TEARING UP A RATLROAD. Last night, a large body of men, protected by an armed squad of pollca, toro up the track of the Orange & Alexandris Railroad slong Mary- land avenue and First street, fronting the Capi- tol, whereby that road connected with the Balti- more & Ohto. The Vice President of the Board of Public Works, under whoss order this was done, claims that be acted after consultation with General Babcock, Commissioner of Public Buildings and_Grounds, sod thab it was necea- sery in_ order that their comprehentive plans of improvement could bo carried out. He also jme that Lo hnd notified tho road to remove the track, but thoy had neglected to do §o. The railway ofii- cors suy that they were, by tho sct of 3fay 8, 1872, suthorizing the oxtension of the Capitol grounds, allowed to_relay their track on_{ieze Streets nntil Congress should mature & plan for its removal, which will mot prejudice their rights, Tho12th section of that act provides thiat 2 Commission, consisting of tho Secretary of the Inteiior, the Ohjef Engineor of the Army, ond tho officer in charge of the Public Buildings and Grounds, is hereby authorizedand Qdivected to Teport to Congress, plior to the sec- ond Mondy of December next, a plan_ by which the locomotive railroad. tracks in front of fhe western cntrance of tho Capitol shell be re- moved, with'due rogard to tho rights of ties concerned.

THE CIVIL SERVICE. New Yorg, Nov. 19.—The Times’ Washington despatch says: “There aro indications of & sharp attack in Congress on the new Civil Ser- vice appointment machinery,” and adds: ‘‘ The election has rendered the friends of the measure stronger than ever, and they have an advantage of sa appeal to tho platform on which the party {riumphed.” Peter Cooper has addressed a congratulatory lotter to President Grant, and asks for theen- forcement of the Civil-Service rules. SENATOR TRUMBULL. Senator Trumbull has writtens letter declining to continue as Chairman of the Judiciary Coms mittee: Senator Edmunds; of Vermont; will probably sucesed him. UNIVERSAL AMNESTY, A NeEw Yorg, Nov. 19.—A special to the Evening Post eays: WasHmNgTox, Nov. 19.—There is good reason for believing that the President will, in his farthcominfi ‘message, recommend Congress to complete the work of amnesty, by making it universal, and by restoring those to citizenship who_are now excluded by the Third Bection of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. Such a course has been urged upon the Presi- dent by several members of the Cabinet, and one of "them is authority for saying that he has decided to do so. THE LOUISIANA TMBROGLIO: A United States Marshal st Nesw Orleans made application to the President, by telegraph; on Saturday last, for troops to eid him in arresting certain persons who were cons;irinflg.‘ against the elections, and who manifested a disposition to resist the Federal authorities. The President gromptly refased to comply with this request, leeming such action entirely unnecessary, es- pecially when there was no information showing that the civil authorities were powerless to exe- cute the laws, and punish those who attempt to violate them. SEVERELY CONDEMNED, . The action of the United States Marshal in Alabama, in arresting the Democratic members of the Legislature for alleged violation of the Election laws, and carrying them to Mobile to prevent & quornm the Legi 18 severely condemned here y Administration 88 unwise, unnecessary, and, perbaps, illegal, If the account of the af- 1air, 8s telegraphed North, is_correct, the Mar- sbal who made the arresta will receivo a severe reprimand,—if not the greater punishment -of being dismiesed from office. Such is the ex- pressed view of Attorney General Williams. CHEAPER FREIGHTS. Movement Looking Toward Bullding =& Ship Canal from the Atlantic to the TMississippi, Below the Frost Line. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune, SeovarELD, Iil, Nov. 19.—Govetnor Smith, of Georgia, has extended an invitation to the Governors of Illinois, Ohio, Indians, Missouri, and other States, to meet in Atlants, ata day yet to be fixed, to consider the project of a ship canal, below the frost line,” from the Atlantio Ocean to the Mississippi River. A recent sur- vey has been made by the War Department, and sline has been establiched which can he con- structed st o comparatively very emall cost. The line thus surveyed ~ follows the rivers to Guntersville, Ala. Thenco to the Coosa River, & distance not éxceeding thirty miles, & canal can be constructed without difi- culty, thus opening navigation to Rome, Goorgia. From Rome the route ascends the Etowsh, to a point near the Chattahoochee, where these rivers can be connected by canal with the Ocmulgee, whence there is direct and uninterrupted navigation to the Atlantic Ocean. ‘The engineer of the survey says this line can be constructed much cheaper, because four-fifths of it is by river, and it is 300 miles shorter than any other. It will have abundance of waterin summer, and will be clear of ice in winter. A ton of freight can be transported from St. Louis to the Atlantic Ocean for 34.88. A number of the Governor fhave signified their intention tobe present. The scheme, it is represented, will receive the aid of the Govern- ment. A bill for the purpose was introduced at the last session of Congress, and referred to the Committee on Commerco in the House, where it was favorably considered.

Sparial Despatch to The Chicago Tribunés Serovorenp, 1l; Mov, 19.—The Hon. J. A. Povwell, member of the Législature from Rich- Iand County, has been in the citj eeversl das, watching developments in the Senatorisd con- test. He is acanditate for the Pension Agency of Southern Illinois, to be vacated in a short time by the resignation of Mr. Martin, who has been elected to Congress. He saya he is for Oglesby, but speaks tenderly of Mr. Washburne, and is polite to Callom. “He told your correspondent that b6 weis in Chicago on_Thursdsy and Friday 1ast, and wad certain that Washburnois in the field. He came baok and advised Oglesty to put i his best licks, © Le wented to win. owell helged Logan against Oglesby, and thinks tht Oglesby can boat Weshburne,but that Wosh= burne is & fine man. Oglesby's friends are satis: fied that Washbuing will run, and that they will clean him out, while thé Weshburne people ex- ect to perform the ssme fést on Oglesby. Evlmhbnme is the subject of general conversa- tion. Hia friends say that he will hrinf into the fight a large amount of strength. They stats {hat his claims are not withont foundation ; that . 1is was the first camdidate nomi- nited on the Hepublicsn platform in the State ; that his Republieanism is as old and 38 pure as any other man’s ; thet Congress he was the watch-dog of the Tresmiryy that be- causo he served his country with distin od ability abroad, is no reason his services ‘shotld belost to the Btate forever; thaiif he does nct get to the Senate now he mover will; that the fatarc is uncertain, end none cafi tell what change four yewrs will make in the political complexion of "the Legislature ; that, if he eg« iles himself sgain for tha5 psriod, he will, to some extent, lose his identity witk: the State, and other men will grow up and displace hinz. The Oglesby men, on the other hand, contend that Washburne has & nice thing, which ought to setisfy his ambition ; that he is used to it, and, understanding the ropes, can continue to reflect ¢radit upott his country aud himself ; that, if he desires to rémain & home, he should toke the Secretaryship of Staté; where they would all love to ses him, especially a8 Hlinois, sccording to their thinking, is entitled to a fest in thd Cabinet. They expect that; sfter taking & patient and calm review of the situation, he will think withi them., Bys typographical error in yesterday's deepstch it was made to soy that A. Washburn had becni in this city. He hasnot been here in person. e i Oglesby's adherents still tall of “honest Dick” in’ the warmest strain, as they did wherr he was running against Logan. There wes then, as there is now, & general admiration for him, and » hope that he would get the place, but while his suppertars are reposing in blind, con- fidence on the provalent snd widespresd 'good feeling toward him; Login shrewdly went to wiork and capbured tho membeis. Jacob who is one of his friends, remdrked to-dsy that he was weak in not having his votés zliready engezed and counted, 2nd was almost sorry for the chivalrous pride that prevented Oglesby front making 8 sure thing of it: Some of Ogluby’u ogponenfs argue that he is ineligible, becausa the fifth section of the fifth atticle of the new Constitution providesthat neither th . Governor, Licutenant Governor, Auditor, Secretary of State, nor Attorney General shell be eligible for | any other office during the period for which he was elected. Thero i8 mothing in this, as the United Stater Senate decided in-the cass of bull, wken Douglas brooght the question that tho Semate was the Judge the qualifications of its mem- bers; and, anyway, the Constitution of the United States cannot be limited by the State Constitution. To be sure there may be consci- entious scruples in the minds of the members, who must take an oath to support the Constitu- tion of the State, against voting to violate the proyision which prohibits the Governor. frf taking any other office. In that case Oglié‘g: it is said, would decline to qualiff for Governor, and take the chances for the Senatorship. Beveridge would then go in immediately, Cullom, it is understood, places great reliance in the young men, belioying they will be with him sgainst. the old stsgers, and there is an impression he is doing more sctual work than either Oglesby or ‘Washburne. Beveridge’s friends are domhm they can for Oglesby to promote him. 0y hold that his temperance antecedents will not create an opposition powerful enoughto prevent him from being Governor; that he Tan with the understanding that he was to be Governor, and that it would be a shame not to send Oglesby to theSenate. They believed the German strength, even if exerted, will be impotent to hurt him, or to indirectly help Washburne, Federul officials_and candidates for places un- der the Administration patronage have & gingerly regard for all the candidates, and as they ¢ cannot yet discorn the rising sun, post- pone for a season the unshipping of August.” up, INDIANA LEGISLATURE.
