MONDAY THE 18th OF FEBRUARY 1868, y
o'clock at noon, the Colonial Council held its
ordinary meeting, which had been postponed
from the 3rd instant, according to the request
of His Excellency the Governor. Absent were,
the End Member for ChriStiansted'S town (Hol-
stein) and the 4th member for ChriStiansted's
country district (McWilliam), both prevented
by indisposition.
The minutes of the last meeting were read.
The Chairman stated, that he had received
and had laid on the seats of the members the
Provisional Ordinance containing alterations
in the rate of interest &c, issued on the 9TH
ulto. He then requested the Council to give
its consent to two cases being entered on the
order Of the day, although not enumerated in
that distributed, viz a proposal for an addi-
tiOnal Money Grant to the Budget, Item d Z.
Judiciary and Police Department for 1867-6S,
and the 1st discussion of the petition of the
planters for more favorable conditions for the
importation of the Islands produce into the

report had been received; to which the Council
tacitly consented.
The Council proceeded to the order of the
day:

sury for the financial year 1S65-66.
His Excellency referred to his letter of this
date, according to which the prospectus of the
Accounts &c. drawn up by the Minister of the
Interior had been forwarded to the Council,
and the Ledger laid on the Councils table, and
recommended the matter being treated in &C
cordance with s IS of the Colonial Law. He
stated, that the Prospectus shows an actual

ing to the preliminary prospectus rendered, by
him on a previous occasion, the Revenue was
posted with S190,551. 72 and the Expenditure
with $l79,527. Is cents.
After a short discussion (Sarauw, Radcliffe.
DuBois), the Council resolved to POSTPONE the
appointment Of a Committee until the accounts
had been exposed for the inspection of the mem
bers and a translation of the prospectus oh

2, The lst discussion of a proposal for an addi-
tional Money-Grant to the Budget Item D,
10: The Poor Department, as follows
"ln addition to the expenses under the Item
of the Budget d.. 70: the Poor Department.
the following amount is hereby granted
For support in money to paupers in the iuris-
diction of ChristianSted, besides the amount
of $4,000 previously granted, an additional
sum $3.50"
His Excellency explained the proposal ac-
cording to the remarks.
The I'd member for Christiansted's country
district (Ratcliffe) expressed his fear regarding
the increasing expenses connected with the
support to pauperS, which he thought could be
obYlated by putting out the children to work
on estates. He proposed the appointment Of q
committee.
The LIST member for Frederiksted's town
ioarauW) observed, that during the previous
discussions on the original Money Grant it had
been presupposed, that an additional Grant
would be introduced, thereby affording the
Council an opportunity of appointing a commit
tee Tor the purpose of further investigating the
matter. He proposed a committee of 8 mem
bers.
The lSt crOwn-member (Willemops), in his
capacity as member of the Poor Commission,
was DESTROYS of the appointment of a commit
tee, although he did not suppose many re
trenchments would be found feasible, adding,
that In former years a part Of the sums granted
had been saved, but which had not been posi-
BILE the last years. He did not think the Com
mission was warranted to put out children in
the country when not belonging there.
BY a unanimous vote Of Ia it was decided to
appoint a committee of 3 members.
3, The 1st discussion Of a proposal for an adj
dltional Money Grant to the Budget Item F.:

The Negro in the North

In New York State there is no
love for anything that looks like
miscegenation. The eternal ne
gro" is kicked and abused on all
sides, and what is allowed by the
Reconstruction Constitution of the
State of North Carolina, is decided
to be illegal by the Supreme Court
at Buffalo, New York. A colored
girl, it seems, entered one of the
white schools in that city, and was
permitted by the teacher to remain.
Complaint was made to the super
intendent, who decided that the
girl must leave the school. This
brought the matter tefore the Su-
preme Court, which ruled against
the right of colored children to at
tend any school except those des-
ignated for them exclusively.

Boys Killed by Eating
Mulberries.

We take the following paragraph
from the Huntsville Independent.
We have no recollection of ever
seeing like instance recorded:
We were informed by a friend
yesterday that in the northern
part of this county quite a num-
Der of persons have been poisoned
by eating mulberries. Two boys
at our informant's house were
poisoned, and be told US that
he understood that six boys, three
white and three negroes, were found
dead under mulberry tree. 1t
is supposed that the locusts have
poisoned the mulberries. We
would warn the people to beware
of eating these berries, as they
are doubtless poisoned.

A letter of May q, from Red
Oak, Texas, to the Galveston Dis
patch, says:
The grasshoppers, one of the
worst plaques certainly that has
ever visited any land since the
days of Pharaoh, have left US
The damage they did, covering as
they did entire fields, prairies and
gardens, destroying as they went,
was indeed very great, but by no
means irreparablc, as the crops
they destroyed have been replan-
ted in ample time for a prolific
yield. Yet the labor they caused
our farmers was enormous, and
the vexations of a trying charac-
ter. This section was, from what
we can learn, worse afflicted with
them than was any other part OF
the State.
