that it has therefore never been ventilated
at all. SO far back ] believe as in 1860 it
was brought before the Government in the
most urgent terms by o e of the very clergy
of the Island, on whom you now lay SO
much blame in this matter, who, after hay
ing been guilty of the great innovation OF
calling the attention of his congregation to
lit during the time Of divine service as o
subject most worthy the consideration of
a christian people, Ventured, IN sending his
Quarterly Reports of Deaths to the Au-
liberties, to call their special notice to this
point In 1862 the same clergyman sent
a similar statement to the Burgher Council
for their consideration. He then at a per-
sonal interview with the then Governor,
gave him verbally all the Information as to
the causes of this mortality that was within
This knowledge. and suggested such RENE
dies, at His Exce!lency's request, as seemed
to him to be demanded in the case. His
Excellency then determined on sending a
circular to the different Physicians in the
fIsland, asking their views On the subject as
ia basis for further action. This [ believe
was done, but with what result [ have
never heard-the whole matter seeming to
end here but not, certainly through any
fault of the Clergy, or through any lack Of
ventilation so far as a pri, ate individual
could yentilate it.
You overlook too, / think, in your
enumeration of the causes to which this
EVIL is attributable the great first cause of
all-SLAvERY-that most prolific parent Of
every social evil. Under it's e gime it is
notorious that the slave was encouraged to
breed for the benefit of the owner, just as
were the other live stock on the property,
without the slightest respect to common
decency or morality and as part of the
same demoralizing system, the children of
such promiscuous intercourse were cared
} for solely by the Proprietor just as were
the young of other valuable animals. The
f result of such a system must, of necessity,
have been precisely what we find it to be
the utter destruction of all moral feeling
all family ties-and all sense of parental
responsibility; in the absence ofwhich latter
e lies, at present, the chief cause of the gross
: neglect, and consequent mortality of the
children of our labouring classes. Height

Accompanying the above notice came

on it, he has steeled his heart to all the
world beside and won beau iful happy
bride.

IMPORTANT DECISION. The United
States Supreme Court, it is reported, has
recently made an important decision on
the subject of transfers of land, profess
ing to be an absolute conveyance, but
accompanied with concealed verbal
agreement, between the parties, securing
a benefit to the grantor at the expense
of the creditors. The Court says that
the law will not permit debtor in failing
circumstances to convey his lands by deed
without reservations, and yet occupy it
for a limited time for his own benefit.
Hence, when debtor, in pursuance of IA
private understanding, retains possession,
rent free, for one year, OF land sold by
him, such conduct creates a secret trust
for his benefit, and renders the convey
ance fraudulent as to creditors, and void
And it made no difference In the aspect
of the case before the Court that the in
terest reserved was not of great value, and
that the debtor did not intend &c detraud
his creditors.

LYING ASA TRAnE

At the commencement of our expert
ence as newspaper publishers weresolved
that when we could not make a living
without lying We would leave the bust
ness. As we have never been accused OF
intentional lying, save by the most invet-
crate liars We do not see any reason for
selling ont just now But there are some
who have never made such resolves, or
at least If they have they do not pretend
to keep them. For instance see the
Course pursued by our cotemporary during
the late canvass Week after week that

dirty work by assailing the senior editor
OF this paper charging him with what
1t knew to be false in the hope of crea
ting aprejudice against him, and although
the falsifyer has had it shown to him
where he lied he has taken no steps to
refute his SANDERS Next Mr.. SAWYER
was attacked and every mean, rascally
thing that could be said about a decent
man has been told of him. The writer
seemed wholly lost to any sentiment of
truthfulness. and just gave himself up to
falsehoods of the vilest character. In
doing this he relied solely on the ignorance
of his readers and among theignorant
only could such a course be of any
service to the lost cause, for barefaced
falsehood in the eyes of intelligent men
always reacts on its promu lgator. But il
is sicken;ng sight to see men so wholly
given up to the evil influences Of polite,
as to stoop so low. We are happy tc
know however that they failed in theil
object and are now looked upon as de-
feated men.
