The legislature is to meet on the 9TH
November. and there Is every reason to
believe that the session will be a very
stormy one, and even to fear hal the an
faeonism which exists between the Co
vernon and the House of Assembly Will
eliminate IN a stoppagc OF all LeglsIa-
ton. The unpopularity OF the Governor
Is continually increasing, and new causes
of difference are constantly arising be-
tween the popular branch OF the Legs
Iotnre ard himself. The two chief
Grounds Of complaint at present are
First. the loss of a considerable sum IN
Bank interest by enclosures IN passing
warrants for the payment OF PooIfc mo-
MES lodged in the Colonial Bank on an
accouot Considerably overdraWn, Where
bv $4,000 was overdraWn IN one month
and 100000 in another m0nth,-on 0
of which, amounts The Bank claimed 5
npr cent interest, while all the time a
sufficient sum of public money was lying
in the Bank at 3 per cent, which was
the fund which should have been drawn
unon as soon as the first was exhausted.
The second complaint is, that the Cover
ner amounted Mr.. Jordan to the post OF
Government and Island Secretary, the
salary of which is Gl200 per annum,-
nqkinr at the same time an unlawful
compact with him, that he was to pay
half Of the amount 10 the Governors
Private Secretary for himself and the
Disbursements Of his office. 1t does not
nnnear that Mr., Jordan has complained
Of this, but it has nevertheless been TAX

REGULAR seasons tell, as we are informed,
on the supply of water from rivers and
s~nrines. We have heard it stated by
gentlemen of experience in these matters
that water is still scanty in certain rivers,
and that if the heavy rains do not come
down, and a drought should happen III
the spring of next year, as II dld In thls'
the want of water will be even more
distressingly felt than it was this year.
The appearance Of the weather IS, now
ever, indicative of the coming October
heavy rains, and these fears are, there
fore, likely to prove groundless. There
has been no abatement Of the caterpillar
plague as yet, and the destructive insects
continue their havoc upon the young
canes aud even the grass in certain dis
tricts. The plague is, we are happy to
say, confined in its destructive effects to
certain localities only.
We are sorry to notice an u%ntavofabIe
change in the public health within the
last fortnight. We have the coughs and
colds incident to damp weather, and add
ton dysentcry aud fever prevail TO a
great extent among both infants and
adults. There nave been several cases In
Kingston of cholera lnfantum, one of
which has proved fatal.

AM ERLCAN NEWS.

FROM THE WEST INDIAN CORRESPONDENT
Philadelphia, Sept. Is.
Business is said 10 be very active in
this great city just now, and so great an
influx of population as to fill all the
boarding and lodging houses and 10 leave
scarcely a house untenanted. The price
of living continues high, insomuch SO
that with wages at $33 per week the la
boring class can hardly keep their fami-
lies. The armies are being disbanded,
and the stores Of provisions, clothing,
and other things sold off by Government.
The President appears to be steadily car
rying out the late Presidents policy of
re-establishing the Union first of all
things, and endeavoring to allay the ex-
cited feelings and the calamities of the
pasta policy which is Objectionable
only to the more violent class of politi-
clans. But the voice of the country sup
ports the President; and I copy the fol-
lowing from the Ledger of this city-a
journal distinguished by the moderation
of its views on political questions and the
large circulation it enjoys amongst the
humber classes: =
"The list Of radical complaints thus far
made out, and to be presented immediate
ly after the opening of Congress, is as
follows:
1st. Refusal 10 extend negro suffrage.
2nd. The appointment of secessionists
as Provincial Governors.
3rd. The free exercise of the pardon
ing power, wherein were included many
who should have been hanged.
4th. The introduction of arms into the
Southern States.
5th. The disbanding of the colored re-
giments.
9th. The refusal TO order a sweeping
confscation.
9TH. The restoration of the Southern
churches.
9Th. The refusal to arraign Lee, the
leader of the rebel hosts, after he had
been indicted for treason.
9th. The refusal to try Davis by a mi
litary Court.
10th. The apathy shown in the enforce
ment of the Monroe Doctrine as appliea-
BILE to Mexico.
Such is the list so far. and there is no
disputing that it is quite formidable; but
I repeat, the President is ready, not only
for the opening gun, but for all the ter
rifle fire that is expected to follow. That
the conservative masses-those who love
the country and their whole country
will sustain him i nsolid column, there
can be no question, and this is all the

2 Newspaper Thieves.

For long time our subscribers on Middle
and Union streets have complained of not Te-
ceiving their papers, and sometimes for week
together we have regularly supplied extra
copies to some Of them, though the carriers
were very sure they had faithfully done their
duty. Suspecting that the papers were stolen,
the attention Of the police was called to the
matter, and yesterday morning officer Gerts
succeeding in nabbing an Irish boy, of about
dozen years, who confessed that for nearly
year past he had regularly carried on the
business of stealing papers early in the morn
ing, and selling them to the guests at the
hotels. For several weeks, he said, he had
taken not less than seven aday, andlin ali
cases from doors on Middle and Union streets.
He had taken sometimes as many as twenty
five a daylai 80
He also implicated another boy, whom the
officer arrested, but this was a little fellow Of
not more than seven years, beautiful little
boy, who regularly purchases papers at the
Office to sell, and who fairly owned that, in

week, taken few copies that did not belong
to him. He was evidently wellmeaning
boy, sorry for his wrong, and, on promise

Rebels Preferred to Loyal Men

The indianapolis Gazette condenses world
meaning into few lines. The Democratic
papers, says the Gazette, are full of complaints
about the cost of furnishing "rations" to the
negroes Of the South. But has anybody heard
or seen any complaint from that party about
furnishing rations to the white people OF the
South? Now official figures and facts show
that for every colored person who mas been
furnished with rations by the government in
the South, fully three solites have been so fur
nished. And that is true all over the South.
Yet not word Of complaints from Nottern
Democrats. Why not? Can it be that they
