Continuation of the meeting of 23rd Decb'r)
The 2nd member for Christiansted' country
district (Ratcliffe) was in favor of the proposal,
but still desired to know if the requisite amount
is at hand to meet the outlay without creating
a deficiency in the budget.
The Chairman stated, that it will yet be in
the memory of the members, that during the
discussions on the budget, it had been proved,
that some items of revenue, especially the Alb
sentee-Tax, would give considerably more than
the amount posted therefore according to his
opinion no actual deficiency was to be feared
by granting the sum in question.
The 1st member for FrederikstedS town
(Sarauw) observed, that, on account of the ex-
traordinary circumstances, the amount required
would have to be taken from the funds of the
Communal-treasury, should even a deficiency
be incurred.
The 9Th crown-member (Walker) voted for
the proposal, on condition, that the amount be
distributed with discretion, say to such persons
really helpless, but not to such as are able to
work. He proposed, that the Council appoint
a commission for the distribution.
The 1st member for Frederiksted'S town
(Sarauw) stated, that according to the prnci-
Die of the Colonial Law the Council could
scarcely have a right to appoint all the mem
bers of the distribution committee, and would
propose, that the Government appoint 3 and
then 2 by the Council, if deemed requisite.
His Excellency had no objections to the pro-
posal, and would only point out, that the princi-
pal thing for consideration is, that of electing

To the Editor of the "st. CrOix Avis"

mun1ty that the Government have not
acted wisely in institutlng Il suit against
you for some recent articles in your pa
per. Had there not been provocation, it
would have been unwise in you TO have
agltated the question whether this Island
ought to remain Danish or not. But
when His Majesty the King himself sets
the example Of proposing the transfer Of
st. Thomas and St. Johns to the United
States, because He thinks it would be for
their benefit, | think it not very wrong if
His subjects In st. CroiX turn their atten-
ton to the possibility of a similar trans
fer. You have said nothing under the
peculiar circumstances but what has be-
fore been said under less favorable cir
cumstances. BY a strange fatality, the
very Lawyer who is to be prosecutor
against you has himself under a former
regime been prosecuted for giving his
opinion on the acts Of Government.
Lawyer IIeilbuth in the year 1915, when
Denmark was ruled by an absolute King,
and st. Croix by a d~espotism, published a
pamphlet, for which he escaped prosecu-
ton j; but which contains as much, if not
more, aclionable matter. A few extracts
will serve TO prove my assertion. The
italics are mine.
In the preface TO his pamphlet called
"Denmark and Saint Croix, in their mu-
tual relations he observes:
"There was a very long period when
the welfare of these Colonies, indeed even
their relations, were never given a thought
in the Mother Country. The common
atty knew from Geography, that there
were three small Islands in the West
Indies, which belonged to Denmark the
merchants, that they produced sugar and
rum, which must be consigned only to
them, in order to give their Vessels
freight and themselves commission anil
the Government, that 1t had a certain num-
Der Of Offices to till IN the Islands, and IA
sum Of doubloons yearly to collect. But,
zone knew much beyond this, and but
very few concerned themselves to know
more. What relations existed between
the duties of the Colonists and their
rights, between what they derived and
what they yielded, was a something
which did not trouble the minds of per
sons in the Mother Country, provided
that the utmost possible was yielded, Of
which there was a certainty"
"But when such small and poor states,
do found such colonies, it is fortunate for
The firs', when the latter are not larger
than can we'll be peopled without draining
The Mother Country of her own scanty
population, or so important but that their
interests, must in every case unhesita-
tingly be given up, whenever they come
in collision with those of the Mother
Country: or strong enough to enforce
any thing which is refused, or to resist
the performance of any thing which is
demanded. Such a state of existence is
not enviable; but it will be found that it
has ever been the portion of minor colo
MES, that had the misfortune to belong to
small and weak states. Such states as
these founded colonies, not TO make them
happy; their sole aim was TO reap every
possible advantage TO themselves, and
thus they ought rather TO be called Step
Mother, than Mother, Countries" (P. 14.)

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE HERALD.

WASHINGTON, April 16, 1868.
Nothing particularly striking marked the impeach-
.ment proceedings Of to-day. There was some docu-
mentary evidence offered and several witnesses were
called to testify to the expressed intentions of the
President relative to the removal OF Secretary
Stanton. The lawyers, Messrs. Cox and Merrick,
allowed, by various rulings of the Senate, to
give their evidence in full; but E. O. Perrin, who held
a conversation with the Executive on the 21st Of
February last, was debarred from delivering HIM
self Of the dialogue which took place on that occasion.
Mr. Butler made very violent harangue at the close
Of the evidence for the Defence contending that the
counsel for the President were consuming the public
time by useless augmentation and irrelevant testi
mony. Mr.. Evarts responded very sharply that the
gentleman might easily discover, in looking the
report Of the trial. that in the various debates on in
terlocutory points where the counsel for the Presi
dent occupied but paragraph the Managers in
dulged themselves to the extent of a column.
There is already on record pyramid Of evidence
going to show the absence Of all criminal intent
the part OF the Executive.
Joseph H. Bradley, attorney, Of this city, and Edgar
Welles, the son OF Secretary Welles this morn
Ing summoned as witnesses for the President.
