The country is to be annexed asa Territory, and not as a State. THE ALLEGED CUBAN PRIVATEER ANNA.— Collector Clarke, of the port of Charleston, S. C., reports that the alleged Cubansteamer Anna has been thoroughly searched, at the instance of the Spanish consul, and nothing of a warlike character was found on board. The vessel was held upon a technicality, but the collector says she was libelled for causes unknown to him. The Secretary of the ‘Treasury has directed the vessel to be released and the matter turned over to the State Department, from which source, through the complaint of the Sanish minister, the examination was made, “ ToPACcOSEIZURES IN THE INDIAN CounTRY. The Commissioner of internal revenue has sent instructions to the supervisor of the division embracing the Indian territory, to seize all un- stamped tobacco manufactured there as large quantities of leaf tobacco are taken thither from Arkansas and other adjacent States and manu- factured with a view to evade federal taxation, on the ground that neutral land is exempt by treaty from taxation. The tobacco which may be seized will be brought into the State of Ar- kansas, where the court will settle the question of jurisdiction. It is not designed to seize the factories, but only the manufactured tobacco, on which the tax has not been paid. Rucuts oF TERRITORY IN THE NaTIONAL CEMETERIES—OPINION OF ATTORNEY GENERAL Hoar.—Attorney General Hoar will transmit to the Senate on Monday next, in obedjence to the resolution calling for it, his opinion of July 20, 1869, as to whether the act of February 22, 1367, toestablish and protect national cemeteries, is competent to vest in the United States exclusive Jurisdiction over lands acquired for that pur- pose. After reciting the provisions of the law which declares that the title to these nat:onal cemeteries shall be vested in the United States and its jurisdiction over them shall be exclusive, Mr. Hoar cites the eighth section of the first article of the constitution and goes on to remark as follows : inion that under this provision of there is no power in Congress to acquire or assert exclusive jurisdiction over any partof the of any State without the consent of the Legis! of the State, and that in order to poe eutaive | a over ty national Legislatur of the State in which the same is situated must first be T have no doubt that, as inci- dent to the power of m: rnment has the war, the national power to the dead who ve fallen in battle and to appropriate for this purpose such asare eo yee A ap eer burial places, and to protect them desvera- tion, if the consent of the Legislature of the State in which the burial place is situated can be obtained. I think it it well be held to be included under the terms of the constitutional provisions above cited, and exclusive jurisdic- tion over it be thus acquired.” +20e- What 1s Tuovent or Dr. ScHoErrE IN GEr- ™awyY.—In the New York as well as Baltimore Staats Zeitung has just appeared a letter from Berlin, written by Professor Kudolph Gueist, D.D., in reference to Dr. Paul Schoeppe, for whom he says there is no great sympathy in his birthplace. Prof. G. says that six or seven years ago & man of the same name and age. was sentenced to prison in Berlin for adroit forgeries. He had been private secretary of Count Blank- ensce. The father of the said forger, it isstated also, was 8 village minister not much respected, and who was convieted of being an accessory to this robbery. Afterwards both emigrated to the United States. The press of Germany revives the wholé affair of these alleged old forgeries in discussing the Scheppe affair in ‘this country.

The following correspondence, just published, explains itself: U.S. SenaTe Cuamnen, Washington, Jan. 4, $70.— Cornelius Wendell, Washington, D: —Sir: The Cincinnati Commercial, of the 25th of December, contains a report of an inter- view, alleged ‘to have been had with you by a reporter of the New York Sun, in which you are represented 2s having said, in speaking of the jal of the impeachment of Andrew Johnson, that “there were three Republican Senators who would vote for acquittal from conscientious convictions;” those three were “Trambull. Fessenden, and Grimes;” that ‘somebody was supplied very liberally’ with more substantia! arguments to induce the other four votes, and there.is every reason to believe those arguments were the influential cause of the votes being pixen as they were;” and that «‘most Senators have a confidential friend who attends to these Little outside business arrangements for them.” As these statements charge by unmistakable inference that my action in that cause was in- duced by & money consideration, [ am con- strained to take notice of them, and to ask you the following questions: First—Did you make, in the statement attrib- you, the words of which are partially quoted above? Second—Have you any reason to believe that money was paid to me_by any person in consid- eration of my vote for the acquittal of Mr. Johnson, or that that vote was induced by im- proper influences of any nature wiitever?

Fourth—Have yon any reason to believe thay any person was offered money, or any othi consideration, with the understanding or ex- pectation that my action would be influenced thereby; and if so, who, and what was the con- sideration?

To your second, I would state that I have no reason to believe that any money was paid you in consideration of your vote, or that any im- tiuences were exercised to procure it. My belief is directly to the contrary. ‘To your third, I reply that I have no reason to believe that any person whatever received money, with the understanding or belief that it was to be used in affecting your vote. My in- formation and belief is the réverse. To your fourth and last inquiry, I state that Perry Fuller was offered several thousand dol- 1 ith the expectation that he could influence your action in the Premises. 1 state further, that Fuller declined receiving it, replying to the offer that he could not accomplish anything therewith, and that your action on the question of impeachment could not be affected thereby.

New York, Jan. 8—The Times of this morn- ing-contains the important statement from Washington that the President has absolutely negotiated a positive treaty of annexation with San Domingo, and that this treaty, together with that for the lease of the Bay of Samana, will be sent to the Senate on Monday next. It is stated that the latter treaty was merely a cover for the more important negotiations for annexation, and that the lattes was kept secret on account’ . certain financial difficulties of the Daninicaus, which had first to be removed be- fore a treaty could be safely concluded. The terms of the treaty provide for the annexation of the Republic as a Territory, its organization tobe at the discretion of Congres#, and the pay- ment of one million tive hundred thousand dol- lars is stipulated for the public property, con- sisting of forts, custom houses, &e. The debt of the Kepublic, exclusive of the depreciated eur- reney, is stated to be twelve hundred thousand collers; and this Government, if it assumes it, is to receive the public lands a3 security therefor, The $156,000 already paid on the lease of Saiaana is to apply on this treaty, if ratified. The same dispatch states that General Tate, the Hayticn Minister, has recently broached the subject of the annexation of that Republic, and has been informed that in consequence of the condition of his Government, no proposition can be entertained from him at present. It is further asserted that the ultimate object of the Government is to secure control ot the passages into the Caribbean sea, which, in co: nection with the Darien ship canal, will give the United States complete control of the Gulf. of Mexico and the Atlantic route to Australia and China. oe : Removal of the Capital.
