Conclusion of the meeting of 9th Augusta
FOR ST. CROIX.

Conclusion Of the meeting of 9th August
In consequence of the remarks made by the
End member for Christiansted's country district
(Ratclife) respecting the small balance accru-
ing from the Post Department, the Governor
drew attention to the circumstance, that the
revenue is derived from letters from and to- the
Island itself and not from any transitory Post
he referred moreover to the statement distribut-
ed, showing the number of dispatches pr. Post
during each of the last A years. AN increased
revenue would depend upon the prohibition of
of illegal forwarding of letters, rendering it
important, that the Postmasters themselves
become interested in the revenue of the Post
Department as being remunerated by a per
centage.
The 1st member for Christiansted's town
(Clindinen) J, the 2nd member for Christiansted's
country district (Ratcliffe) having stated their
opinion about the remuneration to the Post
master in ChriStiansted, the Chairman stated
for the information of the Council, the manner
in which the heavy mail was conveyed previous
to the year 1648, viz that the Postmaster in
Christiansted was then allowed $l2 per month
for the conveyance Of the7Post, which amount
be supplied with an addition of 81, and for this
amount, SIG p. m, he engaged a man owning a
cart and horse to carry the Post twice a week
to Frederlksted, returning the following day
from there. In America there are the So called
express companies for conveying packages
and other articles, but these are exclusively
private establishments not connected with the
Post Department.
The Morey-Bill was referred for the 2nd
discussion.

The 2nd member for ChriStiansted'S country
district (Ratclife), as member of the School
Commission, regretted that the school buildings
in the towns were not roomy enough to admit
of compulsory schOol-attendance being intro
duced there as we'll as in the country.
The 3rd member for Christiansted's town
(POntavice) observed, that the schools in
Christiansted afforded more room than enough.
The Governor observed, that the schools in
the towns afforded ample room for all the
children, whose parents desired to avail them
selves of them, but that did not admit of
compulsory attendance. The former Burgher
Council had framed a plan for extending the
school buildings, but it was abandoned being
considered. unnecessary .attthe time.
The LIST member for Christiansted's town
(Clindinen) asked, if it could be hoped that the
Phonetic system in the rural schools would be
abolished, in consequence whereof the 3rd
erown-member (Du-Bois) stated, thatthis system
had been fairly tested in a school in Scotland,
but was found to be totally inadequate to
teaching the English language the Superin-
tendant of the rural schools here had instanced
that school as an undoubted authority of the
success of the system.
The 9TH member for Christiansted's country
district (Mc'William) considered the instrue-
ton in our rural schools very defective compar-
ed to that in other Westindia Islands. In Do
minica he had found boys from the country. Of

"For hire of a Sailing Schooner as Mail and
Iransport-Vessel between the Danish Westin-
Ola Islands, until Steam communication can be
re-established, $500, the half $500
The End member for Frederiksted's town
(Faber), drew the attention of His Excellency
to the necessity of establishing some control
with regard to the condition of the vessels
running between the Islands, especially for
securing passengers and freight against the
danger attendant on the disasters of such YES
sells from leakage or their bad condition.
He stated, that some years ago a schooner dis
appeared on her way from Christiansted to
Frederiksted and was Supposed to be lost, and
that another schooner has lately been con-
demned on account of being in a very poor
condition.
The 2nd member for Christiansted's country
district (Ratcliffe) and the list member for
Christiansted's town (Clindinen) considered
such control necessary, the latter believing that
the state of one of the schooners now running
to be rather doubtful.
The 2nd member for Christiansted's country
district (Ratclife) inquired, if there are any
prospects of getting a steam communication
again established between the Islands.
The Chairman observed, that the suit re-
garding the obligation on the part Of the Con
tractor to pay a certain amount of indemnity
lOr Tie dissolution Vi tH0 late contract remained
yet unsettled.
The Governor promised to take into further
consideration the subject mentioned by the 2nd
member for Frederiksted's town. He was Of
the opinion, that a steamer would be re-esta-
blished as an enterprise by shareholders with
the contribution from the public, and hoped in a
short time to be able to communicate more fully
on that subject. The former contractor had
refused to pay the stipulated sum at the dlsso-
linton of the contract, and the case would be
settled by arbitration.
After some remarks by the 4th member for
Chrstiansted's country district (Mc'William)
regarding the size &c of a suitable Steamer
to run between the Islands, the case was
raforred for 2nd discussion.

advantage, the interests Of labor can
hardly obtain a respectful hearing in
our legislative bodies. workingmen
have TO bear the burden Of bad govern

here so richly rewarded, and because here
every man has been, or might have been, In
possession OF all he needed, Of all that was
good for him TO have, had his greed but let
him be satisfied with anything moderate or
reasonable; IL because Of these things, men
here are debased and degraded and deterio-
rated, then, indeed, has the discovery and
development Of our mines been more Of q
curse than q blessing. And o could We see
beneath the surface, how many souls should
we find whom God loveth and for whom
Christ died murdered, yes, by inches, with
torture and agony unutterable, by this insane
love Of money. Conscience has been beaten
down BY repeated blows, until she could raise
no audible voice Of reproof, or she has been
~strangled with her remonstrance in her
throat. Reason has been deluded by sophis-
try, and, divorced from faith, has fallen In
the dust and gasped and died; the soul shut
out from God, sitting chained and gagged In
darkness has been starved quite out OF life.
Yes, my brethren, let Us first for ourselves,
and then by our influence for others, place
as the grand fundamental principle Of our
life, and as that which could characterize our
society here--love Of God, instead OF love Of
gold; love OF man, instead Of love Of money.
This, our brothers blood, cries TO rs 70 do.
And Just SO far, and Just 20 fast a. this
change is made, will public sentiment be
elevated and public morals improved. ! have
no faith in the power or permanence Of any:
thing less or anything lower; and now shall
this blood crying to God, cry In vain, so far
as any one here Is concerned ! have point:
ed out some Of the duties which this blood
tells God have not been discharged BY the
people of this State, the execution OF our
laws, the selection Of rightmen for Office, the
exerting Of our active, expressive influence in
the elevation Of public sentiment, in the COM
munities in which we live; and ] have point
ed out to you the grand source Of all our
trouble, in the almost universal adoption Of
q wrong, debasing, ruinous motive Of action,
and rule and principle Of life-loye Of money
and'1 have given you q substitute which will
change all this. There may be other duties,
important and deduced from this awful occur
