that he considered it Of no avail on the part of the
Council to try to effect a change in S SO of the
the Colonial Law, in which d~efrayiug the ex-
penses for the local administration andthe militia
ry was fixed, at same time pointing out, that the
Islands were exempted from any part of the ex-
penses for the Civil-List, the Ministries, the I'm
perial-C Court and the like Institutions, of which
they derive benefit. He moreover pointed out
the considerable retrenchment effected during
the last years in the military-expenditure, form
cry amounting to about $4,000 for all the
Islands, but which according to the plan OF
1868 were reduced to about $97, 900. to which
amount it has meanwhile never arrived, and
that while the expenses for st. Croix TOR this
item at that time was estimated at $5S,200,
the actual expenditure in 1866 had only
amounted to $4,000, and in 1666-67 would
scarcely be more than $50, 800; in consequence
of which he observed, that the increase or de-
crease of the expenses in the several years
mainly depended upon circumstances not to be
controlled, viz. the greater or less number of
men completing their time of service or the de-
crease by death, on which the recruiting-eX-
penses depend. With respect to the inquiry,
from what items the savings effected in lS65-66
and IS66-67 were derived, His EXeellency
went through the several items and showed,
that they had taken place in a series of items,
but especially in that for Military Expenses and
for Buildings and other Uncertain Expenses.
AS to the Lund- Hansen Bills he observed, that
these were not paid, but protested. and, that,
according to his view of the matter, the final
loss .accruing from them in behalf OF the Colo
NAL Treasury would be posted in the. respective
accounts, which would be laid before the Colo
NAL Council in accordance with 5 65 of the
Colonial Law.
The End member for Christiansted's country
district (Ratcliffe) thanked His Excellency for
the calculations, but repeated, that the state OF
the Island required alienation for its produce
in the mother country.
The 3rd crown-member (DuBois) asked His
Excellnecy of the fate of the docket for legal
fees which had been referred to a Committee,
to which the Governor replied. that the draft
was under discussion between him and the
Committee, and promised to have it ready in o
few weeks and laid before the Council.
The Council proceeded to vote on the amend
ments as follows
The amendment No. 1 was adopted unan-
imously with 10-votes.
The amendment No. 9, as No. l.
The amendment No. 3, as No. l..
Whereupon the Budget with all the amend
ments and notifications adopted, showing a
total revenue of $685. 900, and a total Expendl-
ture of $I91, 600 II, was put to the vote and
adopted unanimously with 10 votes.

For the CITIZEN.
Mr.. EDITOR As we have heard
(through the columns of yopr excellent
papers, from number of the townships
in our county, concerning their resources,
prospects,, population, &C., perhaps few
words concerning Washington township
may not be unacceptable to you and the
community; First, tLen, in respect to the
name, it is unnecessary to enquire why
it has been 50 called. 1t is located in
the northern end of the county, in the
last range eff townships but one. The
greater part of our township is densely
populated with persons from various parts
of the world yet. strange as it may seem
we have few, if any, CANADIANS among
US. We have two villages, through both
of which the road from Butler to Eur
lenton, passes, together with several 9TH
er leading roads too tedious to mention.
The whole township abounds in beds of
coal, varying from two to eight feet in
depth. There are also several kinds of
coal, enc of which is camel aud bounds.
A Railroad has been located across the
township near the northernnost village,
and is likely to be put under contract
during the ensuing spring or summer
We have no licensed tayerns, but it may
be said to the credit of our citizens that
halls or three fourths, of them have
houses of entertainment. We have one
Factory which produces larg quantities
of woollen goods of good quality and
four stones all doing thriving business.
There is one Cabinet maker, one Chair
maker, one Wagon maker, four our five
skillfui House Carpenters. five or six
Shoe and Boot makers, five Blaeksmiths
and one Whitesmith with one or two
Stone masons most, if not all, of whom
are sober, honest, skillful and epterpris-
ing workmen. But l had almost forgot
ten one Harness shop, one Tailor shop,
and two Mllliner shops. We have one
Grist mill, one Steam and TIVE Water
power Saw>miils, one Town Hall, four
Church buildings, and three located Pas
tors. We have, also, respectable Phys
ician who has considerable experience iu
surgery. We have seven Seminaries
sometimes called common Schools iu
which to train up or educate persons to
fl important positions in the next gem

done, time will develop; but | fear that
in some of them, Young America" is
making large requirements in profanity
and insurbordination fer which, per-
hsps the teachers are not alone to be
blamed. But lest this scroll should prove
too tedious to the Editor or bis worthy
readers, close; hoping to hear, in due
time, from others cf cpr sister townships.

has prevailed in our township during the
past Fall and Winter, and quite num-
Der of our inhabitants have been attack
ed with it. The popularity of it is, that
it is confined principally to the younger
portions of cur community, though in
some cases those of more advanced
state are stricken with it i; the older por.
tiJn, especially the ladies, are compare,
lively free from its attacks. It is called
the Matrimonial fever.
Our mineral resources have never yet
been tested to very great extent, but it's
hard to tell what the future may bring
to pass. And who knows but what some
enterprising individual may yet strike
"ile" 10 the valley of Breakneck, or dig
gold from the hills of Adams township.
In politics our people are pretty we'll
divided; though the republican element
has the majority; we have, however, some
very radical persons on both sides, but
all seem to be good Union folks, if we
may be judged by the way young folks
of Adams go in for the United States.
We have no railroad yet, but we hope
to have one at some future time, and hope
1t shall be more advantageous to us than
the great n. W., of Centre During the
Winter we had snow and snow drifts to

there are great many things we have

But although there may be some better
places than Adams township, there pos
itively are some worse.

A Novel License Law,

Amid all the controversy about license
laws, the Albany Argus suggests the
plan of leaving the sale of liquors free,
and licensing drinkers, as it is the drink
ing, not the selling that does the mis-
chief The license should provide that
''no man should be entitled to drink un
less he first got a license; and any bar>
keeper who should sell to an unlicensed
person should be ubject to fine and impris-
onment. The license should b., annual,
and the sum charged should be from $40
to 800. No young man should be al
lowed license until he was sixteen, and
then, and until twenty-one years of age
only beer license at moderate charge
After twenty one he could vote, drink,
and chew tobacco upon payment of liz
censc; and the sane privilege should be
extended to strong minded women. Some
men whose constitutions utterly unfit
them for potatiors, should be refused a
license altogether, They are "non-in>
surable."
Before taking out his license a citizen
would have time to reflect; and as they
would have to pay in advance for the
glorious privilege, the reflection would
be forced on most people. 1t is true that
with these parchment privileges, we sho'd
have titulor nobility of drink; but lofty
as this aristocracy might be at night, and
in the "wee sma' hours" of the morning,
the next day it would be abject enough
There need be no fear to our democratic
institutions from class privileged to
these infations, at the penalty of such
deprsssions"

NR. ANDERSON, Sir Il fele perfectly
inclined more or less to believe little
good whisk-y is benefcent for the consti-
tuition by times wben a parson is out
away from home on strange water in the
dog days, iu bad weather travling on a
long journey in a cold day, in wet wealth
er when he has no appetite much any
more except by spells when he needs his
bitters reglarly, to stimulate his weak
stomake. The fact of the subject il, the
people have gone crasey-how could we
prosper without some ale, wine and good
whiskey for the sick. The Doctors know
it is indispensable. 1t gives the appetite,
it clears the breath, il cures the head
axe, it warns the stomake, it kills the
hartburn, it cures the sitting, it cools the
heat Of summer and tempersthe cold of
winter, it destroys the billiousness of the
head 1t keeps the liver in action ana
regulates the spieue. 1t is good for the
reumatism and the gout, and the heart
disease and the crupe, and the sun stroke,
and the stroke of an accident and the
Delerinm Tremendous, and all the other
tremendous diseases that human fes h is
heir to; and we should haze it conven-
lent to every family, brought within the
reach of the poor man, 10 be sold by the
spall. These temperance men no doubt,
all have Q gallon keg in the cellar, they
are big bugs, and bugs more or less, when
they have pain ip the stomake- they
know where to 60. The poor man has
jus. as good right to dran as these

than hela indignation meetings over 2
good thing more or less.
