Last night there was negro-Radical
Grant and Colfax meeting in the Com
mons Hall. I have not heard what was
said Or done. Tonight the young men of
Raleigh propose forming Seymour and
Blair Club, which will be the second which
has been established here. If the Demo
Gratis of Raleigh can succeed, as they seem
determined to do, in effecting the thorough
organization that you had in Wilmington
during the late canvass, they will make a
better showing than they did in the eiec-
ton on the Constitution. I hear expressed

Person, or Strange.

named William Holiday; but the white
citizens, headed by the Sheriff and the

to suppress the mob. The result was the
death of ten or twelve negroes. during
the next day the numbers increased on
both sides, keeping up a desultory nghV'
the estimated number of casualties being
some twenty-five. A small body OF the
military was called in and succeeded in
temporarily dispensing the rioters after
killing three negroes. The latter number
ing about four hundred, had fortified
themselves three miles from Millican, and
refused to lay down their arms.
From the most recent accounts, it would
seem that the presence of the soldiers had
not been successful in dispensing this
mob, and the loss of fifty or sixty may yet
be greatly added to before this formula

arisen from suspicion that negro mem

So it seems that all the atrocities

but that the Leagues, under the intlu-

Its career, during a period of 81 years,
has CLEARLY demonstrated the fact that the
lives Of persons residing in this part of
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those inhabiting
Europe, and that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as are char ed
by every other Company.

Der, or for 5 months of the financial year; and
during the discussions it was understood, that
the salary will have to be fixed by Ordinance
for a period of A years from the date of me APP
pointment of the party, and otherwise on the
conditions fixed in the Ordnance concerning
salary for 2 public Physicians at St Croix,
sanctioned by Royal Resolution of 18th May
1866 and promulgated on the 2nd July same
year, and agreed on during the discussions
which proceeded the said Ordinance.
Cand. med. & CHR. 7. Krebs, who since the
9TH of January 1867 was appointed public Ply
sician, receives with the consent of the Colonial
Council, a salary of 5000 p. a. since the LIST of
December 1867 for discharging the duties as
Physician in the Centerdistrict and as Physician
at the sick-hOuse at the Prison and for the poor
in Christiansted; but the resolution to this eff
feet has not hitherto been sanctioned by Royal
Ordinance.
The above Draft therefore contains the ne
ceSSary enactment for increasing to 5000 p. a.
the two salaries of $500, mentioned in the Or
dinance of 18th May 1866 for 2 physicians, en-
gagged for a term of 4 years for the purpose of
discbarging such medical duties in St. Croix,
as the Government may entrust to them, that
increase to be rcckOned from the LIST Of De
cember 1867.
1t is a matter of course that the aforemeh-
toned appointment for DR.. Krebs will expire
on the 9TH January 1871, and the new public
Physician for Frederiksted will also have to be
appointed for 4 years after the expiration Of
the respective appointments no new Physicians
can be engaged in these two posts, as it is not
the object Of the Ordinance to provide for the
establishment here Of permanent posts as ply
slcians, but merely to alleviate the present
want of new medical men in the Island"
The Governor explained the proposal agree
able to the Motives.
AS no Member desired to have the word, the
Draft was, according to the Rules of Business
s | referred to a 2nd discussion.

not delay the final close of the discussions on
the Budget, while he reserved to lay before the
Council a proposal for an additional grant for
the amounts required for those works.
After some discussion in which Members

SEINE months ago l was called to attend a

suffering from troublesome uterine disease. Its
presence was marked by constant vaginal dis.
Charge, somSti Of a watery consistency and
sometimes creamy and muco-puruent. Sue had
been under other treatment for some time, but
constantly grew worse. Vaginal examination
disclosed extensive induration and liberation of

was evidently assuming chronic form, was also
aggravated by lOng-standhg constipation, pal

appetite, and almost daily Paintings. She faint
visits. l commenced, OF course, by such active
local treatment as the liberation deman i.d

the result completely justified my expectation.
In fortnight the bowels had become free

sweats disappeared, and appetite began to grow.
The fainting spells became less frequent, and
soon ceased altogether. In another fortnight
there was no more cough, the vaginal discharge
was sensibly diminishing, sleep was normal and
refreshing, ond the general health decidedly inn
proved. What remains is soon tod, The pa
