Islands were inadvertently omitted. These,
however, if added, will not relieve the blum
6ers of the Tribune and Lord Brougham.-
Writers differ materially regarding the total
number Of blacks on those Islands in lSS4.-
1t is believed, As the planters we're paid per
capita for these slaves, they were dispos-
cd to make the number as large as possible
No author, however, whom We have con-
suited, makes the number more than about
6l2, 900, while others fix the number inclu-
ding British Guiana and Honduras, ut a much
lower figure. Taking the highest figures as
sumed, and they leave the Tribune nearly
200, 900 out of the way, and Lord Brougham
2SS, 900 above the highest computation. If we
assume that these Gl2, 900 blacks be purchased
by England for 300, o0o, oo0, it will still give
$3.50. 3s-100 per head. This sum applied to
the four million slaves in the United States,
will give the sun Of 1858, 560, 900; while
we have shown that their lowest average val
uation at $500 each, would give a grand total
Of So, 900, 000, 900. Barbados Of which Mr..
Hincks is Governor General, has its statistics
wrongly stated. In one writer the whole is
put down at l02, 600 whites and blacks, while
others reduce it nearly two-th!rds.
aThc white population, just before emancipa,-
ton, was estimated ut ll,Uou 10 l2,uuO, ~Mcn
we inadvertently noted as the negro population.
Some authorities estimated the number OF
negroes at the period Of emancipation at
$4,000, n large population We should say for an
Island only 81 miles in length, and Il in width?
1t is due to Gov. General Hincks, to say that
his government OF Barbados has united under
it several other small Islands, such as Granada,
St. Vincent, ST. Lucia, Tobago and Trinidad
The negroes emancipated in the British West
Indies were scattered over fifteen separate
Islands, few of which, with the exception Of
Jamaica, contained a larger number Of blacks
than are found in many single counties Of the
planting States. Next to these Islands, the
largest number were found in British Guiana.

On Thursday last the House OF Representa-
tives passed the resolution presented by the
Committee on Claims, allowing ]. J. Parks twen.
ty.one hundred aud fifteen dollars and twenty
five cents. Since this scheme for plundering the
treasury became known TO our people, We have
heard considerable talk on the subject. The
cluim allowed is for work done and material
furnished after Parks had bceu removed by the
State Legislature from illegal possession of the
Road. II man, by fraud, obtains possession
Of another mdus lorm, bat is subsequently dis
possessed by the proper legal means all labor
perfoEned after the farm is taken from his pos.
session, especially when hc has been notified by
its righttul occupant not TO labor upon it, must
be at his own risk aud expense. rOrksB claim
is certainly u parallel cose, and should be treat
cd on the SEINE principle It will not answer to
sey that Parks was innoccntIy persuaded into
taking his contract. The people here know
better than that, and nre we'll convinced that he
knew the nature Of the fraud aud the design Of
its originators from beginning tocnd. lie made
II bold strike to make fortune out of the State,
but The fraud was discovered-hs did not make
the desired fortune--nud now this democratic
legislature proposes to put lis hands into She
treasury, and give to Mr.. Parks what he faileo
10 obtain, aud that too for merely pretended
services, performed in direct violation of the
States commands
But suppose the basis of the claim to be cor.
rect what evidence has the legislature that the
items making up The claim are ust7 We have
conversed with several persons who have had
good opportunity to form an opinion upon
this subject at least epproSimatng towards the
truth aud we have yet to meet the first one who
believes that Mr., Parks had On average Of one
team per day on the road during the time for
which this bill is rendered. Indeed, it is the
prevailing opinion that his entire services, if
paid as well us the State now pays him for sim
lar services, would not amount to more than
1880. This is the sentiment of men here who
know about what labor was performed by Parks
Personally, we wish Mr.. Parks no harm, aud
for all lair aud legitimate charges against the
State, we hope to see him promptly and fully
paid but this bill is relic of the contract
frauds which has not tho slightest claim upon
the State for liquidation, aud we have good
reason for believing that it is most exhorbtant.
We hope the Senate will not be hasty in al
lowing this claim. Let justice be done, but
do not weigh the people down with enormous
taxes merely to rcpenish the pocke is Of partizan
hvorites.
