The Illinois TwO-Per Cent Fund.

To THE EDITOR OF THE Quincy HERALD.-A
friend has called my attention to letter of the
Hon. l. n Morris, OF The 9th of November last,
published in your paper of the 21st in which he
rsfers to me, among others, as being in favor of
the legality ana equity of the state of Illinois
against the general government for balance upon
the two per cent fund. had never read Mr..
Morris communication and did not know until
this moment that he had referred to Inc as sus-
tanning the claim. 1t is neither legal or equita-
BILE. The general government owes the state
nothing on that fund. My opinion is, and has
been, that the whole thing trumped up to
make money for individuals, not for the benefit
of the state.

The merchants of New York have meu.or-
iallzed congress to pass law declaring the
statutes of limitations in regard to the collec.
tlon OF debts in the southern states to have
been suspended during the rebellion Set
ting aside the question as to whether the the
Dry of state suspension advocated by Presi-
dent johnson involves an assn q ption that all
laws of the state and all seton by the state
authorities during the rebellion were null,
the inquiry arises if now, when these states
are lawfully organized. and in the perform
ance OF their proper functions they are not
the rightful authorities to decide the matter.
Should congress pass the bill, it will verv
likely find veto tackled on it soon after. 1t
has just the same right to interfere with the
statutes Of limitations in Virginia that it has
to interfere with them in Illinois.
Concerning the object of the memorial, the
New York Herald, with unwonted good
sense and charity, says:
''That the New York merchants ought to be
paid their debts there can be question. Every
man who Is able to paw his liabilities, and does
not, should be compelled by law to do so, and is,
in some manner, by the laws of every state. But
when party is bankrupt, like many of the south
erners II Is like revivivng the obsolete absurdity
OF the old law OF imprisonment tor debt to attempt
to compel a man to pay what he cannot. We
have heard of several instances in which southern
ers have come forward, and, without quibbling,
paid their northern debts. No doubt there are
many Others willing to dc so, and will, when they
are able The time is only procrastinated by the
uufriendly course OF northern radicals in regard to
the restoration of the south This is the true
statute OF limitations to which New York
merchants should now direct their earnest atteu-

troops throughout the war. Notwithstanding
the enormous bounties she offered and the re
peated drafts she made. Yet che was in the
Union, in the opinion of the New York Times.
The leaders of the "union" party there have
uttered more reasonable sentiment in on,
week than the most incorporating "cop-
perheads" of New Jersey ever conceivsd.-
Congress, within the past two days, has de-
lined unionism to be belief In negro equality.

OF the extract in his attempt to be facetious.

"You have now seen, believe, all that is now
in the institution Except the gymnasium. Come,

pins with you"
"What, sir ~ exclaimed the guest, starting
back in real or simulated astonishment.
"Why," exclaimed the professor, eve have a

to go there and roll string of ten-pins with

BARBADOS.

Fine reaping weather continues, and
the better part-say two-thirds of the
crop has been secured. About one half
has been shipped, viz, 23,032 hhds.,
1867 tres, 1888 brls., 1885 bags, equal
to 1858 hhds. 1t will be observed
bags are coming into use for packing.
They offer this advantage of being more
easily slowed and cheaper than boxes or
barrels and the sugar cures better In
them, the drainage being freer. The
disadvantages are, they are not so strong
nor so i%mperviOus as wood. The ship
ment of molasses does not keep pace
with sugar, amounting to 5409 pun, 227
hhds, 456 brls., Rum 10 pun, IA hhds.
The bad market in England and falling
price has caused the price of sugar to
recede to 81 dolls. Molasses remaining
about the same, the yield not being so
great as usual. Native Provisions are
becoming scarce, and dearer; and as a
consequence better demand for Amerl-
can breadstufs and provisions.
The news of greatest interest is the
passing of a Militia Bill by the House of
Assembly against the almost unanimous
wishes Of the people in town, and a large
and influential portion of the country
residents. The Bill was carried by a
narrow majority of 3 voices, IL to s: IN
the absence of 3 members who had vot-
ed against the measure before. The OBJ
iections to the Bill are to the expense 1t

It is to be hoped that the question will
form one of the series which the Coloni-
al Secretary has expressed his intention
of considering in c%onneXion with this ISL
and. We have countless acres of the
most fertile lands, easily accessible, the
virgin purity of which is as yet invIolate,
and which is waiting only the hand of
the cuItivator to yield unbounded crops
of the most valuable products. We
have q physical conformation affording at
different elevations every graduation OF
climate. The salubrity Of the island is
proverbial. These and other advantages
invite the free settler, and give him sure
promise of success. Jamaica once known
to the European immigrant, and we feel
assured he will find it the best home to
select.
The Panama Star and Herald furnishes
some details Of the casualties by the late
explosion Of the european" at Colon
90 persons had been buried, II were
badly wounded, and II missing. Testl-
monials to Captain Moir Of the lamar
whose %intrepidity in towing out the
European" and which was the means
of saving a second disaster, have been
presented from the native and foreign
merchants and from the authorities of
Colon, and one also from Mr.. w. Parker,
Superintendent of the Panama Railroad.
The Prussian Minister of Agriculture
has forwarded to Mr.. Nathaniel Wilson
the esteemed Curator Of the Bath Gar
dens in this island, the large silver medal
prize, for an interesting collection OF
fbres, the produce of Jamaica forwarded
to the exhibition at Erfurt.
1t has been stated that the Seat Of
Government in this Island is TO be trans
ferred from Spanish Town to Kingston.

returns are very promising.

the country uISJElClS Delug NOluHtdIy ;
which is considered a refiexion upon the
loyal spirit Of the towns people, intro
duced unnecessarily, more to crafty a
sort of uninteIligibly angry feeling against
the merchants of Bridgetown, than to
facilitate the passing of the Bill in the
House or TO render it acceptable out of
doors. In so far as the town is concerned,
the Bill has the appearance of being IN
tended to operate as a punishment tor
the previous Militia Act for the support
of the Volunteer Corps, an impression
confrmed-perhaps owing It's rlse-to
the violent language of the advocates of
the Bill, more especially Mr.. Griffith the
Auditor General, who took the Bill quite
out of the hands of it's mover, Mr.. A.
Briggs, and turned the question into one
Of party, or rather faction, assisted by
Mr.. Ashby, the mem. for St. James, a
large landed proprietor. The violence
and the disgracefulIy personal attacks Of
these gentlemen on the opponents OF the
Bill within or without the house, upon
petitions presented against the Bill, by
the most respectable and influential men
in the country, and upon the Press, were
carried to such a length, that one of the
members, (Mr. Gooding) declared he had
never witnessed such a display of bad
feeling and bad taste before, for the 20
years he had occupied a seat in the
House. This conversion of the Assem-
bly, into a school boys debating room, or
more truly as a correspondent describes
it Bear Garden, and the d|erision of
their petitions on a subject Of this kind
has aroused a strong feeling of indigna-
ton against proceedings, which if per-
sisted in can only end in the same dlsre-
pute that in other Colonies has been
the forerunner of the entire abrogatiOn
of municipal government. The Militia
Bill has been made offensive by the con-
duet of its chief promoters in the House,
and by exchanging the conciIiatory tone
and courteous demeanor of the mover for
the factious violence of the Auditor
General. AS has been Justly observed
a Militia Bill, for the protection of life
and property and to keep order, a mere
Police enactment, ought not TO be made
a party question of or debated in a facti-
Gus spirit. The very proposal to sit
through the night aud to pass it over the
ICduS VI VIZ hllllO'AUJ q U viz NlCLlhS as
enough to show the unseemly violence Of
its promoters. The Bill has passed to the
Board upstairs,-a calmer atmosphere,
where it will be examined in a different
spirit and by wiser heads, free from the
esprit du corps of the Military element in
the Assembly, men who will recognise
as a first condition of a really useful and
efficient Militia, that it be not made a
source of annoyance or of discomfort to
any class or portion of the population.
