We see that the President Las sent to
the Senate a menage rtlatiTC to the an
nexation of San Domingo to the govern
ment of the United Slates. The treaty
uyompanyincj the message was negotiated
by Baer, President of San Pomintro, and
Mr. Perrj't commercial agent of the
United States, at San Domingo.
The main features of the treaty are
that this government, shall pay 1 1,500,
(MX) San Domingo to pay her debt-? and
redeem her currew-y. . She is to come in
as a Territory." The treaty, he fore bind
in?, to be ratified by the United States
Senate and a majority vote of the citi
zens of San Domingo. Thus our Re
public is preparing to spread out in the
(Ju'.f and sooner or later it will swallow
up all of the inlands cf that region.
Their location and productions make
them desirable acquisitions, but the
character of their population is a serious
drawback.
The Spanish blood, in any degree of
admixture, is rather a bad clement in
free institution.". Mexico has been nomi
nally a republic for an age, and yet her
Presidential chair is oftener filled by bul
lets than by ballots, and the assassin's
dapgor settles more controversies than
her courts of justice. Judging from the
working of her system, one would think
that the constitutional way to vacate the
Presidential chair was to blow out the
incumbent with gun powder, and pitch
his successor in on the point of the
bayonet. This disposition to run into
anarchy does not appear to be confined
to the ignorant and rowdy clement
among Spaniards, but embraces the
higher classes, and it is no injustice to
rank them as the "roughs"' among civi
lized nationalities. If a Spaniard is in
sulted he must have blood. An injustice
can only be atoned for by blood. A rival
in love, a competitor in Lusine:, an op
ponent in politics, or any o;ie that jostles
the Spaniard in the path of life, is done
for by the dagger. The same vindictive,
axsasMii spirit and recklessness of conse
quences that influence the mau in social
life, govern his political conduct.
With us, even on the outskirts of civi
lization, men quietly submit to the de
cisions of law, even in some cases when
they doubt its justice; but the Spaniard
resists or seeks for revenge if his selfish
ness or his bigotry is assailed, 'and the
purer the officer, or the more equitable
the law, the more violent his hostility
and the more vindictive his vengeance.
Taking Mexico and other semi-Spanish
nations on the western continent as a
standard, they are a rough material to
manufacture into good citizens, yet, the
advantages of possessing San Domingo
may more than atone for the evils of ad
mitting her population of citizenship.
There inlands lie in the path of our
progress and it is probably better to
merge them in the Republic, daggers and
all, rather than forego the benefits to be
derived from the possession of the ter
ritory, These are the names that some one,
years ago, gave to the two great political
parties of that day, and the names had
not only the virtue of being short, but at
that time they were equal to a whole
chapter in describing the characteristics
of the two combinations of men. Doth
parties were about equally patriotic an
neither uncomfortably so. Each held
together by double influences the lead
ers by the magnetic attraction of public
plunder, and the rank and file by the
clap-trap of party organization. Then to
be the head of a party was, r.o long as
the party held the ascendency, almost
equal to being a King. Patronage, po
sition and plunder were dispensed by
him like the blessings of Heaven on the
just and the uuju.t, principally on the
latter, and the succession in office was
planned out and fixed for years ahead.
The head or chief of the party was not al
ways the President. In fact, in party
organizations, there ha frequently been
a power behind the throne superior to
the throne itself. If Richard Roe, the
chief of the party, was unpopular with
the rank and file and could not on that
accouut be elected to the Presidency, his
best move was to shove forward tome one
he could control. On the principle that
if you cannot be king the next best thing
is to be regent during the minority of a
king, and on that principle Mr. Richard
Roe, the chief, put John Doe, his minor,
so far as ability was in question, in the
Presidential chair. Such were glorious
times for politicians. The only danger
was in the defeat of the party ; if that
did not happen, all was right, for the
party machinery run in grooves and must
go right. But the defeat of the paity
did often happen. For the "Ins," Subjec
ted to temptation sooner or later, to a
6h"ght or a great degree, became corrupt,
and the "Outs,'" with no plunder to ap
propriate, and no patronage to sell, be
came the furious apostles of poUiii-al pu
rity. The cry of corruption against the
dominant party always could cause some
desertion from it, and these deserters,
together with the "sore heads," fre
quently reversed the order of things.
The "Ins" became the "Outs" and then
ran the same round that had been taken
by their predecessors. Like chicks that
begin to peep as soon as the shell is off,
they, as soon as the mantle of office
dropped, began to chirp in favor of po
litical purity ; while the former immacu
late "Outs," hoarse from rauting on po
litical honesty, took a short respite from
their apostolic labors, and devote the
reesss to plundering the public treasury.
Such lias been the case when the highest
object of an election was to sustain a
mere party organization, and to keep a
mere politician in power or to elevate
one.
The late war of secession with all its
evils of debt, suffering and blood-shed, hue
giveu to the nation substantial benefits.
Among others, it has aroused the slum-
bfrii
patriot! ra cf the r-o'rl has,
brought forward a new and better class
of prominent men, has broken up the
power of trading politicians and shat
tered the clap-trap of party organisation.
Instead of a President educated in
and devoted to-a;l riie Hnteroptible
tricks of trading politicians, we have one
with the straightforward and feailes.,
principles inculcated in the camp. And
we have a party in power, not made
dominant by part' whippers-in, or from
any prestige'of party name, for it is com
posed of former Democrats as well as of
Republicans, but made dominant be
cause it sustained the country in the
hour of peril.

Mr. Stevens, a Nebraska City printer,
was married recently, and a notice "in
the usual form" appeared in the column?
of the Chronicle. Morton, editor of the
Nvtcs, true to his instincts, thought he
saw in it a chance to make capitsd against
the man who wrote the notice, and ac
cordingly "pitched in." The printers of
the city, true to their instincts that of
being just "go for" Morton as follows :
Mr. Torter, Editor of Chronic) 'e,
pit? tempore: In the last issue of the
A etc;, that journal takes exception to an
article appearing in the Chronicle in re
tard to the marriage of a "brother chip,"
by name, L. A. Stevens. The editor of
the journal aforesaid takes exception to
the item in question and says : the wriler
has turned traitor to the camp and
gone over to the'enemy." At the request
of the undersigned, Mr. J. Dan Lauor,
formerly local editor of the News, penned
that item. He done it at our request,
and in accordance with our ideas of a
Printer s Marriage notice If anything is
wrong we are to blame not him. J.(
Punter in this city is more highly re
spected by the craft than J. Dan Lauer
not only in this but in the Press and
Jhc offices of this city.
If the article had ajqcared in the
Press, (the paper with which Mr. Ste
vens is connected,) we would have noth
ing to say ; but that gentleman has too
much good seiue and brains to take ex
ceptions to it. Malice and spite has a
great deal to do with certain things at
certain times.
The editor of the News .should not
vent his spite on an individual who has
always been his friend and is now out of
the newspaper business.

A correspondent of the Nebraska City
Chronicle writing from Washington says:
Nebraska is attracting much attention
throughout tin; i-ast, and will receive
large accessions to her population during
next spring and summer. The crowded
condition of business and exhorbitant
prices for land in the middle and eastern
States, is inducing thousands of the la
boring classes to seek new homes in the
west, and Nebraska well advertised will
receive large numbers of them. I en
close you an article written by a former
resident of Nebraska and published in
the April number of the "Report of the
1 epurtmeut of Agriculture. ' ' This arti
cle has been extensively read and should
be further circulated.
The specimens of Agricultural pro
ducts from Nebraska on exhibition at
the Department of Agricultute are gene
rally nolieel and uo much to remove
that old erroneous impression that 3 our
State lies within the lines of the great
American desert. You have only to ad
vertise your advantages as a State, t in
crease your population and wealth to that
of a first class commonwealth.
A Good ( liancc.
Swan City, the county seat of Saline
county, is situated at the confluence of
Swan and Turkey Creeks,, twenty miles
northwest of Beatrice, and is in the
heart of as fine an agricultural di.-trict as
Nebraska can boast of. Saline county
produced the finest wheat last year that
has been sold in the Nebraska C ty mar
ket. The land lies level, timber plenty,
water in abundance, and the country is
rapidly tilling up with manhood, muscle
and vigor of an enterprising and indus
trious population. Homesteads can be
obtained there yet, and no country in
the State offers superior inducements to
the emigrant. Its recourses are rapidly
developing and its trade and business
increasing and expanding daily. The
wants of the county imperatively demand
the establishment of various branches of
business there, and an increase of trad
ing facilities. Swan City offers just the
location fbr such enterprises. With
good water iiower, plenty of timber around
it, and 11 the heart of a trade si'.most as
large as Beatrice, Swan City is bound
in the nature of things to build up and
make a good town. No point offers bet
ter inlueemerrts for a well filled drv
goods and variety store, aud:&ny person
wishing to go into business there will find
houses already built, and any one build
ing there will be made a present of two
good town lots. Now is the time.

Ii3y while the sun shines.'

John Wesley Mitd Wife.
Mr. George Dawson, in a late lecture
on the great founder of Methodistisin,
gave the following details: When Wesley
settled he said. "It would be more useful
to marry. " There is nothing like giving
that sort of pretty facing to your wishes.
I have known a friend, when he was
going to move from a little living to a
large one, soy that it was because he was
going to "a larger sphere of usefulness."
A certain witty man used to say that
whenever a clergyman went frcm a little
living to a large one, lie did so because
he had got a call, but that he would want
a "good loud hollo to take him from a
large to a little living. " Wesley married
a widow, who, through her jealousy, led
him a life of wretchedness and misery.
At last his spirit was up, and he wrote
her, "Know me and know yourself.
Suspect me no more ; provoke mo no
more ; do not any longer contend ibr
mastery, pwer, money, or praise; be
content to be a "private insignificant per
son, known r.ud loved by God and me."
It was not likely that a woman wotildbe
pleased at being recommended! to be an
insignificant person. After twenty years
of disquietude she one day left him. He
lore it philosophically. lie went even
beyond it. lie took his diary, and put
the mo.-t pithy entry into it 1 ever met
with in a diary: N011 tarn refiqui ; uon
demist, von recomlo. which may tie
translated thus: "I did not leave her;
I did not send hor away; I shan't send
for her back." And so ended the mar
riage life of John Wesley.'
A Pittsfield (Mass.) minister read six
verses of a hymn to his congre gatioc last

ItirliardHOu County Si-brahn
Is situated in the extreme southeastern
portion of the State. It is miles 1
from cart to west, and 20 miies tiom
north to south, embracing about oGO
square miles of land of the very - best
quality. It is well watered, and brobably
equally as well timbered as any in the
State." The great Nemaha river empties
into the Missouri river near Rulo. This
stream is formed by the north and south
forks t't the Nemaha, "which unite at Sa
lem, eighteen miles west of Rulo, the
north fork leading from the northwest
and south fork bearing from the extreme
southwestern part of the 00111113. Tribu
tary to these streams are the Muddy,
Half-breed, Rov'b Creek, Wild-cat, Con
trary, Kasley, Four-mile, Dry Branch,
Rattlesnake, Pony Creek. Rock Creek,
etc., each having numerous tributaries,
all f which arc well timbered and skirted
by magnificent valleys. The land is all
susceptible of cultivation : no swamps.
Of the varieties of timber, there are
black walnut, hickory, ash, elm, cotton
wood, locust, maple, hack-berry, linn,
sycamore, and the different oaks. Coal
is found in several localities, aud is used
for fuel and blacksmithing purposes.
Osage orange thrives and makes an eco
nomical, beautiful and substantial hedge
fence. Lim stone aud sandstone abound
in various localities. Bricks are success
fully manufactured. Seven saw mills
and six grist mills are kept lively at work
to supply home demands, and there are
not less than one dozen mill-seats equally
as good, which can be purchased to-day
for one-tenth what they will bring in five
years. The taxable wealth of the county
is considerably over two millions.
Springs are numerous, good water is ob
tained at depths varying from 15 to 120 ft.
This is one of the best grain-growing
and stock-raising regions on the conti
nent. Fruits of ail kinds grow most
luxuriantly when proper attention is be
stowed upon their cultivation. The
towns of the county are five, viz : Rulo,
Arago, Falls City, Salem and Humboldt.
The St. Ijouis an i Nebraska Truuk Rail
road will enter the county at the south
