SUMNER'S SAN DOMINGO RESOLUTIONS. 
The event of the week lias been the discussion 
of the following resolutions introduced by Sen¬ 
ator Sumner, and discussed by himself and Sen¬ 
ators Sebum, flows, Harlan and others, and 
finally disposed of, the Senate laying them on 
the (able by n vote of 39 to IB. The debate was 
very bitter, and in some respects disreputable: 
Wheiea*, Any negotiation by one nation with a 
people inferior in population and pOWdl. having In 
view acquisition of territory, Should t«„ above all 
suspicion of induction from superior force; and. in 
testimony to this pHilClpin, Spain boasted that the 
relncornorntlnn Of Dominica with tier monarchy, in 
1861, was accomplished without the presence of a 
single Spanish ship Ot) the coasts, Ol d Sfianls i sol¬ 
dier on the land, all of which appears In official doc- 
^Whtrtai 1 The united States, being a republic 
founded on Hie rights of man. cannot depart from 
such n principle and such a precedent without iteak- 
omng the obligations of justice between nations, and 
imnotlugra blow uj)ua republican iUBLItUtlonwi there- 
ft "lwelMd, That,in obedience to correct principle, 
and that republican institutions may not suffer, the 
naval forces of the United States should bn with¬ 
drawn from the const of Santo Domingo during the 
pendency of negotiation!! lor the acquisition of any 
part of that island. 
Resolved, That since the equality of all nations 
with regard to population, sue. and power Is an 
axiom of international law. as the equality of all 
men Is n o axiom of our Declaration of Independence, 
nothing can be done to a small or weak nation that 
would not be done ton large orpowerful nation, oi 
that wo would not allow to bu done tn ourselves; 
and, therefore, any treatment of the Republic oi 
Haytl hy the nnw of the united States. Inconsistent 
with this principle, is an Infraction of international 
law In ot»0 <d It* great safeguards, and should he 
disowned by the Government of the Untied States. 
lletmlved, That since certain naval officers of the 
Uniied States, with large war vessels, including the 
monitor called the Dictator and the ti lgatc Severn, 
with powerful arm a mams, acting under Toatruptlona 
from the Fxiteutive, and without the authority of an 
act of Omgreus, have ent ered one or more noi ls of 
the Republic of Iluyti a friendly nation, and, under 
the menace of open und Instant war, have coerced 
and restrained that Republic in it* sovereignty and 
independence under the international law; there¬ 
fore, in Justice to the Republic of Haytl, also in re¬ 
cognition of its equal rights in the family©! nations 
ami in deference to the fundamental principles of 
■ our own inst itut ions, theae host do acts should he 
disavowed by the Government or the United States. 
RMlvrd, That under the Constitution ot the Uni¬ 
ted States, ttie power to declare war l* placed under 
the safeguard of an act. of Congress. That the Un'si¬ 
ded alone cannot declare war; that this Is a peculiar 
principle oi our Government by which it is distin¬ 
guished from monarchical Governments, where the 
f iowor to declare war. alao tl)C trinity milking power 
s in the Executive; alone; Unit In pursuance of this 
principle thu President cannot, by any act of Ids own, 
us by an nnroUtJed treaty, obtain <my such rmwnr, and 
thus divest. Congress of its supreme control, and Unit, 
therefore, the employran tit of the Navy without the 
authority of Congress, In itcla of hostility against n 
friendly foreign nation, or :u belligerent Interven¬ 
tion in thr affairs or a foreign nation, is an Infraction 
of the Constitution Of the United States, and H ‘•eur- 
pationof power* not conferred upon the Presided. 
Rruntvrd, That while the President, without any 
previous declaration "f war by act of Congress, may 
defend the country against invasion by foreign ene¬ 
mies, he is not justified in exorcising tin? same power 
in a foreign outlying island, which has not yet be¬ 
come part of the United Suites ; that, tbe title, under 
an tmr.i tilled treaty. Is at most inchoate , created by 
the Presided alone, in which i aspect it differs trora 
any such title created ay act of Congress; and since 
it 1* created by the Presided alone, without the 
support of law, whether in legislation or a ratified 
treaty, tho employment of the navy in the mainren- 
ancu of the Govnrnmcmt there is without any excuse 
of national defense, as also without any excuse of a 
previous declaration of war hy Congress. 
Knewi red. That in any proceedings ror the acqutsi- 
tionoi part ot tho Island nt BsnfioDomingo, w hatever 
may be Its temptations of soil, climate, and produc¬ 
tions, there must bo no exercise of influence by su¬ 
perior force, nor any delation of public, law, whether 
international or ooastltwtianal, and therefore the 
present proceedings, which have been conducted at 
great cost of m.nicy, under the constant shadow of 
superior force, and through the belligerent interven¬ 
tion of our Nav v, acting in violation of Intcrnullonal 
law, und Initialing war without the nnthnrlty of an 
net of Congress, must be abandoned, to Hie end that 
justice may he maintained, und that proceedings sn 
hostile to correct principles may not become an ex¬ 
ample for th <4 future. 
Amotaed, That instead of seeking to acquire part 
of the Island or San to Domingo by belligerent inter¬ 
vention, without the authority of an act of Congress, 
it would have been in better uccord with the princi¬ 
ples of our Republic, anil its mission of peace und 
beneficence, hail our Government, in the spirit of 
good neighborhood, uud by friendly action, instead 
of belligerent intervention, striven lor the estab¬ 
lish in cut of tranquility throughout the whole island, 
so that the internal dissensions of Santo Domingo, 
and its disturbed relations with Haytl. might, he 
brought to a dose, thus obtaining that security 
which Is tlic first condition of prosperity; all of 
which being in the nature Ot good offices, would 
have been without any violation of internal law, and 
■ without any usurpation of war powers under the 
[ Constitution of the United States. 
Resolved, That every sentiment of Justice is dis¬ 
turbed by the employment ot foreign force in the 
maintenance of a ruler engaged in selling his toun- 
try, and this moral repugnance is increased when It 
Is known that tlic attempted sale is in t' r 'iat' f 'T’of 
the Constitution of the country to be sold ; that, 
therefore, the employment of our navy la maintain 
Baez in usurped power, while attempting to sell hi* 
country to the United states, in open violation of 
the Dominican Constitution, is morally wrong, and 
nnv transaction founded upon it must ho null and 
' lieiolvtd, That whatever maybe the title to terri¬ 
tory under an unratlfied treaty,'t I? positive that, 
utter the failure bf this treaty In the Senate, all pre¬ 
text of title ceased; so that oar Government is in 
all respects n stranger to the territory, without ex¬ 
cuse or apology for any interference gainst '‘"nn* 
cmlos, foreign or domestic; and, therefore, and bel¬ 
ligerent Intervention nr act of war on the coast* of 
the Island of Santo Domingo, after the failure of the 
Dominican Treaty in the Senate, is unauthorised 
violence, ut terly without support in law or reason, 
and proceeding directly from that kingly prerogative 
which is disowned by the Constitution of the United 
States.

M0NEY AND TRADE AFFAIRS, 
New York, Saturday, April x, 1871 . 
We propose, under this head, in the hope that it 
will interest most, if not all, the subscribers to the 
Rural New-Yorker, a Weekly Summary 0 /the Well 
Street Markets, embracing Money, Foreign Ex 
change. Gold, Government Stocks and Railway and 
othcT values dealt in at the Stock Exchange. Also, 
as far as space will permit, a review of lho general 
Trade aud Banking movement of New York, and of 
Lhe F'oreign Commerce of the United States, as peri¬ 
odically reported from the Bureau of Statistics at 
Washington, and the progicss of reduction in the 
Principal and Inteiest charge upon the Public Debt, 
which, just now, is attracting unusual attention, be¬ 
cause of the great refunding process and Sinking 
Fund purchases of the Secretary of the Treasury. 
We begin our work at a season of marked buoy¬ 
ancy in almost every department of general Trade, 
and of Railway traffic. Railway building, and Stock 
speculation, encouraged by the prevailing prosperity 
and rapid growth and extension of our wonderfully 
clastic population, and by a prevailing ease and 
cheapness of Money which has now been going on 
for several months. In view ot tlic sudden and ex¬ 
treme transitions of past years in " all street move¬ 
ments, it would bo no cause for surprise if this condi 
riot) of things, so fax as the Stock Market is concerned, 
should be reversed in a single week. But as touching 
the greater interests of Trade and Commerce, and 
the individual improvement and development of the 
Country, we sec no reason ahead to question a pros¬ 
perous Spring and Summer Season. 
The first topic of interest this week is the New Loan 
of the United States, which has made rapid progress 
- in its subscriptions, although the new Bonds are not 
yet ready for delivery, and will not be until the first 
of May. ftora which they will bear date and carry 
Five per cent. Interest, payable quarterly in Gold, 
’ redeemable after ten years in Gold Coin of the pres- 
, ent sLmdard. They are free from all taxation, Na¬ 
tional and State, and for every dollar thus issued at 
Five per cent, the Treasury redeems the present Six 
’ per cent. Bonds, known as 5 - 206 , three classes out f 
five of which arc flow subject to be called in and paid 
’ off in Gold, having run over five years of the twenty 
years from their dales in 1862,1864 and < 865 . 1 he 
1 New Five percent. Loan is for $ 500 , 000 ., *», and to 
this will succeed $ 300 , 000,000 in Four and a Halt per 
1 cent Bonds. And by the time (if not sooner) the re¬ 
maining 5 - 20 S, of the classes of 1867 and 1808 fall with- 
‘ in the option of redemption, any part of $ 700 , 000,000 
1 in Four per cenL Bonds maybe negotiated,although 
1 ff will require less than $ 500 , 000,000 to pay off the ic- 
maming 5 - 30 S. Wc refer, with much satisfaction, > 
0 the Official Proposals of the Secretary of the Treas¬ 
ury in another part of this paper. We learn that the 
f subscriptions already reach about $ 50 ,coo, 000 . 
The price of Gold this week has ruled at noH® 
?. xioH nor cent The price of United States 5 - 20 s, of 
M;, is m©*nJ 4 per cent., but this embraces three 
months Gold interest since the January Coupon was 
paid. The tendency of Gold is to a lower premium, 
‘ especially if the New Bonds should go abroad in set¬ 
tlement of trade balances, later in the season, m place 
> of Gold. Some shipments of the latter, however, wi.. 
. have to be made in April, before the Bonds are ready 
for market, as Bills of Exchange on London are now 
A nearly up to the points at which it will pay the Bank¬ 
er to ship Gold, to wit, toq ^@.ic>9?i f° r 60 days; uo@ 
ijo>£ per cenL for sight Exchange. 
The rates for Money are 5 ®6 per cent, on loans 
subject to being called in without notice, and 6® 7 per 
cent, on time negotiations 30 <®fo days, and on mer- 
„ cantile paper running from 30 to go days. 1 lie pres- 
J ent condition of the New Vork City Banking move¬ 
ment is, briefly, as follows:
