"BulIy for the Americans! I! Bully for
the Natives! ="
Here is the portion Of the translation'
which we are ready with, dated last month.
GIN entering this citation in the present
suit, which has been instituted, according
to the order of the Government to me as
prosecutor, also from the documents,
with two numbers of the "St. Croix Avis"
transmitted to me, the result of the prelim-
mary examination, taken up on the 22nd
instant,-and which newspapers were'pro-
duced in Court containing the articles in
question, which have given rise for the
subject Of this prosecution.
The articles are mentioned in the
Order for prosecution, as we'll as the let
ter which is inserted in the preIimin-
aries sent to Government by letter from
the town-judge of 18th instant. In these
are to be found the motives for the ac-
ton, and what it pertains TO.
The article in the newspaper No. 3:
''the times are more than distressing is
full of insult against Denmark, its Gov
eminent, and the Danes, who are here
present from the Mother-country. 1t
places "the people of St. Croix'' in quite
o different position-here is the pure
Danish ; "i Modsetning')-to "thosc
Danes, who are come here from Denmark,
it declares that the Natives here cannot
look-(Here is the pune Danish 'ikke
kunne tye'')-to that nation-the Danish
for any sure protection; it asks the Ma
tiyes: "What are you? 2" and it answers
the question thus: "~treated like dogs"
The article then goes OF to say, that if the
Americans are not TO have the Island,
a public meeting should be convened,
TO petition the American Government,
to take the people of ST. Croix along with
them. The article ends with the cry
s'Bully for the Americans!"
The article in the newspaper of NOD:
"to a true mind etc. is also replete with
insult towards the Danes from the Mother
country, who are at present here, namely
against the officials and it again awakens
a hateful Indifference, Cor, perhaps, it
would be better to say opposition-Here
is the pure Danish zen hadefuld Modset-
ning"J-between "the Natives" here and
those Danes, who have come here (Here is
the pure Danish ''de i~ndvandrede Dan
ske.")
The article agitates or rouses-(Here is
the pure Danish: "opfordrer') as well as
the former, agitation to annexation to
America; EXCELSIOR have it as you are
pleaseD challenges the population of the
island to look after themselves; and it ends
(the article Of course)-by the cry :"Bul-
ly for the Americans"
IT is clear that the authors intention,
in inserting these articles, only was for the
purpose OF creating excitement and agita-
ton among the lower, less informed por-

ABOUT TIE LEGAL TENDER BILL.

ABOUT TIE LEGAL. TENDER BILL
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.--Attorney General
Stanberry, in the Supreme Court of the United
States to-day, read letter from the Secretary
OF the Treasury addressed to him, Stating in
effect that the Department understood that
the constitutionahty of the legal tender act had
arisen at this term in several cases between
private parties, and that they had been dis
cussed and were now under Adjustment as
the government had no opportunity to present
an argument in support OF the law and as a
very deep interest Was felt in the subject bv
the government and the country at large. IL
was hoped that the Attorney General would
ask and obtain leave TO present an argument
in support of the law before the cases Which
had been discussed should be decided by the
Court. The Attorney General said that owing
to his mutlfar GUS legal duties he feared he
would be unable to prepare proper argument
duriI 2 the present term and he therefore de-
sired that the Court would not deliver its opn-
ion in these eases until the next term. The
Court took the matter under advisement One
OF the cases above referred to, involves purely
a question OF ordinary debt whether a party
mas right to discharge ga obligation in legal
eehdef noles. Secondly, another case argued
by Senators johnson and Williams presents
the question whether the debtor can nav his
taxes in legal tenders, the State of Oraoon
having declared All its taxes should he paid in
gold. The third case was argued ly MesSrs
Carlisle and Mills from California, which has n
statute declaring that all fduciary taxes shall
be paid in gold.

DEFEAT OF THE IMPEACHMENT PROJECT.
New York Feb. 14.-The Tribune'S special
in reference 10 the defeat OF Stevens resolu-
ton of impeachment in committee, gives the
following details:
Before the vote was taken Mr.. Paine. who
voted for impeachment last year, tempted TO
dodge the question ia committee, and moved
toward the door to leave the room Mr. Stew
ems observing his movements said. shaking his
finger at him, Paine come back-you have
got 10 lace the music. 60 on either the one
SIDE or the other Paine hesitated. and then

Il was all to no purpose. The killing Of im-
parchment had been determined on before the
committee met, and the words of Mr. Stevens
conld not alter the fixed opinions oil the COM
inittee. After the vote the members droppeG
out, and after they had gone Messrs Stevens,
Farnsworth and Boutwell, held q meeting and
talEed over the course which they had best
pursue In answer TO propositions to re-
viye impeachment in another shape and bring
II before the House, Mr.. Stevens said: -"We
had better stop Just where we are. There IS
no use in making ourselves ridiculous before
the country and trying to get up an excite
lnent, and when we come to the point flying
the track" This was the conclusion which,
the Committee arrived alto let impeachment
rest at least for the present.

Earnings Of the Company.

AT present, the profits Of the Company are derived
only from its local rafc, but this is already much
more than sufficient to pay the interest all the
Bonds the Company can issue, If not another mile
were built. 1t is not doubted that when the road is
completed the through traffic of the only line con-
meeting the Atlantic and Pacific States wi be large
beyond precedent, and, as there will be no compe-
tition, 1t can always be done at profitable rates.
1t will be noticed that the union Pacific Railroad
in fact, Government York, built under the su-
pervison of Government officers, and to large ex-
tent with Government money, and that its bonds
are issued under Government direction. 1t is be-
eved that similar security is carefully guard
ed, and certainly other is based upon larger or
more valuable property. The Comp nys
