SIR!
Your cotemporary of st. Thomas ac-
cepts, says he in his number of the 22nd
instant, the suspension of all intercourse
with st. Croix, upon the grounds that JUS
tice In turn shall be conceded to St. Tho
mas, and that st. Thomas shall be relieved
of the ;ntolerable condition they live UNI
der in that Island, viz that of being gov
erned by st. Croix.
I presume the writer means governed
from st. Croix, for st. Thomas is not gov
erned by st. Croix, but it is to certain extent
from here, owing partly to the fact that
the Governor of and over the Danish West
india Islands resides over here, and partly
to the nature of the local administration
in st. Thomas, which leaves much to be
desired, and which renders its being con-
trolled from here preferable, if not a mat
ter of necessity, so long as the cause is not
removed. | know not whether this may
prove an intoIerable condition of life to
people in st. Thomas if so, they are per-
fectly right in seeking relief from it. Let
them then by all means be governed from or
by themselves in their own Island, we over
here would like nothing better but to
gain that end, there is no need of a cessa-
ton of intercourse with our Island. What
is wanted is a widely different condition, it
is simply a different local administration
for st. Thomas. Or would the st. Tho
mas people delight in being governed-su-
premely gogerned-by their present Of
fcials ? Tie writer Of these lines honors

st. Thomas well, and he knows too a good
ly part Of its intelligent people, and he
thinks he can vouch for it, that these peo-
pie prefer being for a time governed from
here, that is by our Governor, to having
the sort OF government that might be prac-
tised by President Rothe, were he not I'M
der a salutary restriction and control. The
people of st. Thomas, it seems, desire to
have Governor Birch to reside over there,
him they respect, and | dare say, would
come to like, whereas Mr.. Rothe COM
mands little respect and little love, but as
long as he is Presiient,-may it speedily
end the people will certainly rather sub
nit to the smaller Inconvenience of being
for the time governed from here by an
ADLER man, than to the infinitely greater
one of having matters of Importance deci-
ded by a man whose characteristic is want
of decision, and whose most prominent ia
Guilty appears to be that of indebtedness.

OBSERVER.
To the Editor of the St CrOix "Avis."

You are aware, no doubt, that there has
lately been a lawsuit before our local
courts between Judge Stakemann and Mr..
McDermott, arising from accusations made
by the latter against the Dealing Court,
or the clerks of that Court. Judge S. sued
Mr.. McD!for defamation, for false accusa-
lions and demanded that the Court should
punish him aud declare his accusations
for dead and void, the Judge thereby, as it
seems, taking the accusations as directed
against himself and his court. But by the
sentence Of the Upper Court Mr.. Med,
the a%ccuser, was not only honorably ac-
quilted, but Judge S. was even sentenced
to pay all his expenses, besides his (Mr.
D's.) lawyers fee, consequently q very
damaging sentence to the reputation of the
judge and his Dealing Court. Now, this
sentence, or rather the whole proceedings
In this famous case, ought to be made pub
lie, and this, Sir, ought to be done by you
in your paper. For by publicity only can
we hope to see a bad state of things anne
l%iorated, and to help in doing this is I'M
questionably among the most sacred duties
of the press. A case like this, even if it
were exceptional and alone of its kind,
having given rise to a vast amount of scan
dial and injurious talk about the Dealing
Court-reminding people of its old-time
nickname STEALING court, should not be
committed to oblivion but should, to the
contrary, be held up publicly as q warning
alike to the Public, to the Official, and to
his worthy clerks. Judge Stakemann may,
possibly, not care much for the Upper
Courts sentence and the slur it has cast
upon the Court he administers, and his
clerks may perhaps think themselves safe
under the shelter of the judge, as long as
the thing is known only to a few and
those inclined to look upon it, may be, as
a good joke but publicity will do it's
wonted service, it will force the judge to
keep a strict control upon his clerks and
assistants, and it will make these refrain
from unrighteousness through fear of be-
coming exposed and elected.
