Weekly Despatch, November 49,
The Danish Rigsdag was opened on
Monday by King Christian in person.
His Majesty read a speech from the
Throne, in which he said GA Bill for
the dowry of the Princess Dagmar will
be laid before the Chambers. Denmark
has not remained untouched by the poll
teal events that have recently taken
place in the centre of Europe. BY the
treaty of peace concluded between Aus
tria and Prussia at Prague, the latter
Power has undertaken to restore North
Schleswig in SO far as the population
may by free voting pronounce themselves
In favour of such a step. Although this
has not yet taken place, still the text of
the treaty, and the national direction in
which European relations are o being
developed, are a guarantee that we also
shall obtain the natural frontiers ne
cessary for the security Of the country.
This is the object towards which, since
the treaty of Vienna, our hopes have ever
been directed. The Justice of these hopes
has been recognised by friendly Powers,
and especially by the Government of the
Emperor Napoleon, who has testified a
warm interest in our country, and has
thereby earned our profound gratitude.
Denmark sees in the proposed settlement
of the question a proof of the friendship
of Prussia" His Majesty further stated
that preparations were being made for
the defence of the kingdom, notably with
regard to firearms, which were being
placed upon an improved footing. The
questions connected with the finances of
the Duchies were mainly settled, and the
general financial positions of the entire
monarchy gave rise to no apprehension
for the future.

The usual dances in the country, at the

FRIDAY, 9TH DECEMBER 1866.

THE latest intelligence from st. Tho
mas brings tidings of a decrease in the
number of cases of Cholera in that island.
This may be true, and we trust in Pro-
whence that it is really SO. We all
know, at least have learnt TO know, that
Cholera, wherever it has appeared and
existed, is o dcceitful and treacherous
malady-no one can properly understand
it's movements, its locality, nor even its
real nature; consequently we cannot
consider that the people of this place
have any right to think themselves safe
and free of the epidemic. The quaran-
tine measures, as we'll as other precau-
tionary steps, adopted by the authorities,
have been we'll and goods and we feel
happy and are proud to say, that every
member of this community has been
prompt in carrying out and obeying i'm
plicitly the necessary and imperative
orders of the authorities-the members
of the Sanitary Commission have, WI arc
quite sure, no cause to complain. Now,
we have to consider something else-these
points. Let us first impress on the
minds of the Authorities the great neces-
sitv there is to continue the quarantine
course, and even to make it longer, say,
if at present 7 days, let it be ten /; and if
10, let it be fourteen; since VIC require
no provisions nor dry goods from that
place at present, this Island having
lately been supplied from other places,
and such things that are quite ne
cessary can, by being packed free of
trash or other stuff, be safely imported
here. This security, against the in
PRODUCTION and appearance of the sick
ness, should even be continued some
time after the glorious news of its total
disappearance from the Sister-Island
reaches us. Let the proprietors of land
ed properties see we'll to the rules and
regulations concerning the measures

End member for Frederiksteds town (Faber)
desired to know, why an engine No. 3 with
leather hose had been proposed for Frederlk-
sted, but No. 2 with copper and leather hose
for Christiansted.
The Governor stated, that he considered it
best to procure an engine of each sort, in order
to make a trial and compare them before order
ing more. j,
End member for Frederiksted's country dis
trict (Knight) approved of the Governments
proposal as quite to the purpose.
lst member for Christiansted's town (Cln-
dinen) doubted that a JET Of 60 feet would be
sufficient.
The Governor observed, that there was
scarcely any house of that height in the town
the height of the governmenthOuse is scarcely
40 feet to the spouts besides a greater height
can be had by placing the engine player on a
higher spot, say in a story of an opposite
building, or on a ladder.
The Money Bill was unanimously referred
for the End discussion.
10, 1st discussion of the Money Bill for ex-
penses sub item G Pensions.
1t was unanimously agreed upon, that the
Money Bill be taken under the LIST discussion
in this meeting, although it had not been en-
tered on the order of the day.
The Money Bill runs thus
For d~efraying expenses under the Budget Tor
the Municipality of st. Croix for the financial
year from the 1st of April 1866 to the 3lst OF
March 1867, the following amount is hereby
granted
sub Item G.. Pensions:
AS temporary pension at the rate OF IS pr
month to the widow of the late Policeassistant
Ludwig Heitmann, to from the lSt
of November this year, and until such time as
the amount may by degrees be assumed by the
Rumfund, an amount of $40 is hereby granted.
The amount posted in the Budget as pension
according to Ordinances or other special war
rant will thereby be increased to 1882.
The Governor stated, that the widow of the
deceased Police Assistant Heitmann was not
entitled to a pension according to the pension
law but in consideration of her deceased hus-
bands long service, he thought there was
reason to procure her a pension OF $40 pr.
month, of which amount the Colonial Treasury
could however not be saddled with a greater
portion than such a sum as the pension would
have amounted to, had she been entitled to q
pension this would scarcely be IS pr. month,
as the pension would only be of the nett
amount of the salary, and this had only been
$40, from which must be deducted for keeping
a horse. The other portion of the pension
must be betrayed from the Rumtund, and this
fund eventually assume the whole amount.
End member for Christiansted's country dis
trict {Ratcliffe) reserved to himself to bring in
an amendment for fixing the pension at $I2 pr.
month.
The Money Bill was referred for the End
discussion.
The Chairman fixed the order of the day for
the ordinary meeting the 9Th November, noon
IL o'clock, as follows End discussion of the
several Money Bills that have been under the
lst discussion to-day, and the Money Bill for
expenses, item E: Buildings and other uncer-
tain expenses, and the End discussion of the

TWISTING NECKS OFF.

Gov. Oglesby, in his speech, on Saturday,
commented upon the Presidents veto Of the
Freedman's Bureau Bill, and. he specially
referred to President Johnson's remark that
the bill took power away from the people and
placed power enough in the hands of the
President to declare himself dictator, and
then proceeded to argue as though the Prssi-
dent intended to declare himself dictator
and said, if he did, che would 20 to Washing

unworthy governor of the great state of
Illinois. Think of it! A governor of a
great state harranglng public meeting, in
flaming the bad passions of the people and
making them believe that Andrew johnson
proposed to declare himself dictator i"-
Why, the very opposite was the fact. He
refused power, offered to him by the radicals,
and refused it because he said it was danger.

man, and urged the people to retain it in
their own hands. It was safe with them
but if once parted with it could not, perhaps,
be recovered. This is what Andrew Johnson
advised the people-and yet Gov. Oglssby
gave the people a very different impression
The governor of Illinois should be above suof

Judge Thompson's Speech.

One of the largest and most ORDERLY meet-
ings of the campaign was held in the court
house last Tuesday night The speech of
Judge Thompson, our candidate for congress-
was one of the ablest, clesrest, logical, con
vincing efforts We have ever heard made on
the issuses to be decided this fall, and the
earnestness, honesty and force with which he
discussed the question of admission to con.
gress of southern mem bers, backed up and
fortified as he was by the oopieus extracts he
read from the speeches, proclamations, and
letters of President Lincoln, the resolutions
of congress, and the PLATFORM of the republ-
can party OF 1860, carried conviction to the
hearts and minds of every man present, who
will be honest with himself. He thoroughly
dissected the civil rights bill, and clearly es-
tablished and proved that negro equality and
Negro suffrage is the object and aim of the
radical leaders. Unlike the low pettifogging
and trickery of Harding, he meets the issue
In an open, frank, honest discussion, and RI
