it, that these two high and responsible Off
Gals, qualified by all kind of theoretical and

merjunker Bic had been filing the situation
as inspector of Customs in Christiansted, and
thus was at the very elbow of HIS Ex-
cellency the Governor, been able to frame
and %concoct rules and regulations for the
Custom-department in ST. roix the very
remarkable official looking article in the St.
Croix Avis No. 9 of this month, from which
you will see, that the appointment of another
learned gentleman from Denmark, is explain
ed and defended by the want of an qualified
official "to assist the Government in the re-
vision of rules and regulations relating
to the CustOm-D Department p
We all know, that the Government drives a
snailgaited horse, but surely in 10-12 years,
new rules and regulations might have been
framed If aamted, and the question stares you
right in the face why has nothing been done in
1O-12 years 2!-Is it because Kammerjunker
Bic, although qualified by all kinds of qua
lifications, still has not been sufficiently qua
lifted, or not fit or not able to assist His
Excellency the Governor? Or is it because no
new rnles and regulations have been wanted
and must we thus look at the explanation and
defence as a mere codliver sham?
Verify Verify there must be some humbug
somewhere.
A slur has surely been cast on all the custom
house-oficers in St. Croix, and especially on the
bodily big and portlylooking gentleman Mr.. Bic.
Do you think, Mr.. Editor, that he in defence
against the author of the OfficialloOking article,
will dare to use his proboscis for a sting?

nation of the discussion in the Rigsdog yester-
day on the transfer of the Danish West India
Islands to the United States, the President said
he could not leave the subject without a tribnte
to the loyalty and consideration shown by the
American Government, qualities so worthy of a
mighty people.
COPENHAGEN, Jan. 29-Evening.-In the
Landsthing, or upper house of the Rigsdag, to-

for the sale of the Danish Islands in the West
Indies was ratified by a unanimous vote. This
completes the action of Denmark in regard to

plea-of which q translation will be laid
before the public, at our earliest convenience.
Judging from the sympathy there is now
telt in the whole community, and by all
classes, it would be an important document.
Our lawyer demanded of our prosecutor,
or of the court, &c o6fcio, to give an autho-
rised translation of the articles in our paper
for this year, of Nos. 3 and 4, for which we
are prosecuted.
Our prosecutor met and produced "6
Straffe-Attester' or six certificates of pun
ishment. Well that beats guile!! !! We,
to our knowledge, have never been brought
before a criminal Court until now; and 'to
a true mind" there is less reason for us to
be prosecuted for a true cause, than our
prosecutor, who, with such victory, escaped
prosecution. The suit was postponed for
IA days.

The Peace Movement.

The peace movement on the part oil
the ex-Confederate Generals at Nash
vile seems to have retired the tagging
zeal of the loil members of the Legisla-
ture from East Tennessee, and to have
inflamed their noble livers with a de-
sire for new fields of strife. One of
them, a regular Dogberry, declared that
"the internal scoundrels" (rebels) had
driven him from his home, and, so sure
as his name was Hacker, he would
never make peace with them as long as
the earth bore plant or the sea rolled
a wave. Nothing short of the melish,
armed and equipped as the law directs,
will appease the wrath of their burning
hearts. The State of Tennessee was
never more peaceful, quiet, freer from
outrages and violations of law, but if
the militia should be called out and
set to hunting for Kukluxers, it is pos
sible they may succeed in finding sew
eral of them.

Legislative Summary.

In the House on the 10th, a number
Of petitions were presented, deprecat-
ing the calling out the militia, and ask
ing that the franchise restrictions be re-
moved.
Mr.. Prosser presented long pream-
BILE and resolutions that nobody wants
war and everybody wants peace, but
that the way to keep the peace is to pre-
pare for war; therefore, the Governor
should be clothed with authority to
raise an ample military force, to be used
IN case of emergency, &c. In regard to
franchise, the preamble and resolution
say in substance, that a time will come,
no doubt, if the disabled citizens con-
form to the radical notions of proprie.
ty, when IT will be eminently proper to
restore to them the right of suffrage
All of which is quite encouraging, anG
very liberal, considering the source, sc
The rule was suspended, and the reso
luton adopted. H a9.a

to Major General Buchanan, command
ing Department Of Louisiana:
GENERAL: The following instructions
from the Secretary of War are furnish
ed for your government: TO the end
that the necessary aid may be rendered
by the United States as promptly as pos
sible, in any case of insurrection or do
nestle violence in those States embrace
cd in your Military Department, you
will keep yourself informed of the con-
dition of affairs in said States, and com.
municatG promptly by telegraph to the
War Department., and through the
Headquarters of the. Army, any facts
which may make it the duty of the
President, under the Constitution and
laws, to employ the military force of
the United States. You will also main
tain such disposition Of troops under
your command, that they may be ready
to act without delay on the receipt Of
the Presidents orders, stationing them
at, or, from time to time, moving them
to points where you may have reason
to apprehend necessity for their use.

of the duty of the Legislature than we

follows: "a
AUGUST, 8, 1S6S-On my return to
Louisville from an inspection trip to
West Tennessee, had the honor to re-
ceive your favor of the 18th ult. .,.'.
Il agree with you that the state of af-
fairs in Tennessee, so far as [ can Judge
by reading the papers, is far from Pc
cite. / believe, however, if the news.
paper report Of an interview between
some Of the late Confederate officers
and q committee OF the Tennessee Leg
islature, be true, then there is some
hope of peaceable and amicable
adjustment of the difficulties now
threatening the peace and welfare OF the
state. ~
Il read with much interest the speech
es. or rather assurances, given by both
parties, and am glad to find that they
were mutually coIciliatory and friend.
ly. therefore sincerely hope that they
may be able to arrange peaceful plan
Of settlement, and that Tennessee may
be in q prosperous condition at an early
day. .r .'....
ut will require the utmost care to re-
concile the conflicting interests, but l
sincerely hope the Legislature will be
equal to the task imposed upon it,"

PrOsser's Bill.

The following appears in the House
proceedings of the Sth: N
Mr.. Prosser, from the Committee on
Military Atlaiis, reported the following
bill, with the recommendation that it
be adopted in lieu of, all others which
which had been referred to the conf
mittee:
An act to enforce the laws of the
State. Whereas, There exists in this
State lawless bands and desperadocs
who are setting at defiance civil law,
and by their threats and acts of violence
are forcing many of our citizens to leave
their homes; and ..J.t-. #..E
Whereas, In certain localities it is en-
tirely impossible for civil officers of the
State to enforce the laws, in order that
the supremacy of the law may be MAIN
tanned, and that peace and order may
prevail F; therefore, .a .i..p .t,....'

when he shall deem it necessary. to or.

revised army regulations of the United
States, as fans as applicable, and shall
receive pay and allowance according to
grade of rank, as provided for the
United States army, while i'm actual SER
vice. to be paid out of any money in the
treasury not otherwise appropriated.
Sec. 3. Be it further enacted, That all
persons, singly or collectively, who
shall disguise themselves for the pur-
pose of disturbing the public peace or
intimidating any of the citizens of the
State, and all persons, either singly or
collectively, who shall enter the houses
of private citizens without proper au-
thority, for the purpose of disturbing
or molesting the persons or the proper
ty Of such citizens, shall be declared
outlaws, and on conviction shall be pun

in the State pcnitentiary.
Sec. 4. Be it further enacted, That all
laws or parts of laws in conflict with
this act, are hereby repealed, and this
act shall take effect and be in force from

Judge Chase.

A conversation with Chief Justice
CHASE is thus reported in the Louisville
Democrat: ''.''.'
GAS to the results in November next,
he fully expresses his conviction that
the chances are decidedly in favor of the
Democratic nominee-provided there is
no cheating round the board. The Ed
munds bill regulating the Southern
electoral votes, he looks upon as fore
shadowing of foul play, and the Demo-
Gratis are advised to keep their eyes on
it accordingly. Blair's letter, he says,
is simply up to the exigencies of the
times. He sees nothing revolutionary
in it. On the contrary he is inclined to
think that it aims to stop the revolution
which the admission of carpet-bag Sen
ators is undoubtedly working in our
form of government. >. The letter, hence,
will do no harm, but possibly much
good, ifsit Restraints the JacObins from
further outrages, by indicating what the
future has in store for them" y r.,

A Maids Mistake.

Miss Susan b. Anthony, the editor of
the Revolution, has taken calm survey
of the political aspect of affairs, and
records her deliberate conviction as fol-
lows: .. ' tr...
Man has exhausted his power to save,
and saved nothing, not even himself
He has tried to, found republic and
failed ANONYMOUSLY. He planted it
like Lisbon on volcano, and the war
quake shook it down. He has tried for
more than three years to rebuild, to re-
construct, and failed again. Indeed his
last state is worse than the first if pos
sible. He learns nothing by expert
ence. All history, all Scripture, all
philosophy, are 10 him sealed books
He is still vainly striving to join to-
gether what God has eternally put asun-
der.
Susan has evidently fallen into the
queer blunder of regarding "man" and
p''Radical" rs SYNONYMOUS terms.

The incloscd communication from
Hon. Isaac r. Hawkins, NJ. c. from
Tennessee, referred this day by the
President to the Secretary of War for
consideration and report, is respectful
ly returned to the President with re-
port that the military forces now sta.

in the adjoining States, and whose SER
vices could readily be made available,
are believed to he sufficient to suppress
any Instruction against the Govern
ment of said State, or any combination
formed to oppose the execution OF the
laws of the United States therein. %"
The troops will at all times be in
readiness to act when an emergency
shall arise, which, under the Constitu-

make it lawful fer the President to en-
ploy the military forces of tho United
States, to suppress insurrection or to

Ninety Thousand Majority.

The Democratic majority in Kentucky
has reached Ninety Thousand, and not
done counting out yet. AS mere local
triumph, this result is the biggest thing
on record; but no man can calculate
the tremendous moral effect it will have
in other States, where the megs are
being set for the Presidential struggle.
1t is the first gun of the campaign, and
its clear, ringing boom has startled rad
icalism from its fancied dream of secu.
rity all over the land, and given it a
foretaste ofits doom in November. Old,
gallant, glorious Kentucky! Right no.
bly, has she responded to the New York
nominations, and given an impetus to
the ticket which assures the country of
an overwhelming success. All hail, the
