ONE of the greatest drawbacks TO our
present position is@its uncertainty. The
uncertainty as to what our future politi-
cal relations are to be; whether we are
to cease 10 be under Danish sovereignty,
or 10 be placed under that Of the great
Republic. We consider the latter as a
question only of time. Why then should
we let this temporary uncertainty as re-
CARDS one side of our life prevent US from
dwelling on more homeIy %affairs2 AT

proof, not only of his zeal, but of his in
huence withhis congregation and of the
good feeling Of members Of other denom-
nations. But, admitting that the seve-
raj churches are we'll to do from what
sources do they derive the means and
support, without which they could not
subsist? For man requires aIso..sugar 10
exist. The sources from which they de-
rive their support-we are speaking of the
temporal sources-are very different.
The lutheran church, as compared TO
the three others, is an ESTABLISHED
church. 1t is supported by the entire
community. Numbering only | of the
whole population, the whole population
have TO contribute towards its support.
Now in itself it is SO wQrthily ministered
to, that no one grudges it the support it
receives but is it just, that the q of the
population, besides supporting their own
churches, should have to support the
church of the Ii without receiving any
aid towards the support Of theirs9 No
one can maintain that, The lutheran
church is supported by the Colonial Treas
ury. The others receive nothing from it.
The clergy representing Oh of the popu-
lation receive no public support the
clergy representing the ! ! are almost en-
tirely supported at the public expense.
This is neither Just nor wise.
There are two courses open TO US in
dealing with the question. Either let AL
the different churches be supported on the
Voluntary system, or let them all be sup
ported by the public treasury. We for
ourselves give the preference to the latter
alternative. We think that the church
as we'll as the community is best served,
by placing the clergy in an independent
position. BY being so placed the clergy
will as a rule be in a filter position to en-
force the truths they profess to believe
in, and to maintain their dignity. But,
if the lutheran clergyman is to be placed
under such favorable conditions, we think
it no more than just, and equally benei-
cent, that the ~EpiseopaIian, the Moravian
and the Roman Catholic clergy should be
placed on the same footing. Our consti-
~tutional Law of The 9th Novbr. 1868 has
foreseen that this claim was not only just,
but likely to be made, for in its : 10 it
says "the Lutheran church, which is the
established church of Denmark shall be
supported by the public. Support to
other denominations may be granted by
Ordinance" Now by "Ordinance'', as
the word is here used, is meant a law
passed by the Colonial Council and sane
toned by the King. The proviso of the
law being as stated /; there cannot be the
slightest doubt, that a law passed to this
effect by the Colonial Council, would at
once receive the sanction of His Majesty.
The financial side of the question: need
not cause any anxiety; for the money that
goes to support the churches of the
different denominations is under all cir
cumstances paid by us. We would, sup
posing the change to take place, not have
to contribute one cent more. perhaps less.
The question seems to us of SO much i'm

What temporal advantages do these

that they are all more or less, if not -four

energy of its worthy minister, has been
able to do. The present handsome church

fairs which, no matter under what SOver-
eighty we may live, always will be OF
vital importance TO US, and the arrange
ment of which lies in our own hands.
Why should we, because our present
Sovereign is in treaty with the Govern
ment of the United States about the
transfer of our allegiance fem the one
Government 10 the other, omit to consid-
er our own internal and local affairs?
There is so much the more reason for
our not doing so, if we will but remem-
Der, that, should we realize our much
cherished wish to become Americans, we
will be called upon to govern ourselves
in a far wider sense than we are at pre-
sent. With these considerations in view,
we beg to cal the attention of our read
crs to a question of no little importance.
Man does not live of sugar alone. The
question we wish to bring under discus
sion is that of the Church. Certainly
not as regards spiritual matters, those
we will leave in other hands, but, as re-
CARDS its temporal affairs. What is the
=. position of the Church in this Island
Is it satisfactory We think not. We
believe that The present conditions under
which it exists are neither Just as regards
the clergy, nor as regards the Iaity.
According to the last census taken in
this island Of which we have a printed
report, the inhabitants were 80, 1914 souls.

tit is not often we are indebted
to the Radical press for any very
good news. We therefore learn
from the New York Tribune, with
grateful satisfaction, that nothing
now prevents the President from
annulling every lawpassed by Con-
gress relative to reconstruction.
He has only to declare void the
military Bill, recall the department
commanders, dissolve and dispense
the Southern State Legislatures,
and summon new Legislatures to
be elected by the white vote only.
liz Gen. Grant refuses to issue or
transmit such orders, the President
may annul the bills placing the
control Of the army under Grant,
and order him to report for duty
at Galena, Illinois. Having had
new State Governments elected in
the South on the white vote only,
lie may call a special session 81
Congress, and by military force
require it to admit the Southern
Senators from his Johnsonized
Governments to their seats.
Although Horace indicted the
above by way of b threat, intend
edsto scare the recusant Senators
into voting for impeachment, it has
certainly lost none Of it's force since
the Presidents virtual acquittal.
Having such an excellent authority
us TIE the 447lss 6Bassaae, to #hem he is aIso-
indebted for pointing out the order
Of proceeding, MI. johnson should
certainly lose no time in carrying
these laudabla measures into effect.
The very fact that the Senate
acquitted him, with all these evil
consequences to the Radical party
lib full view, shows that they viii
by no means prove unacceptable
to the mass Of the people. He has
suffered enough ia name" .to
warrant him in experimenting a
little ia game. an D. Times.

SToCK RAISING IN Texas. To
give an idea of the magnitude Of
this business in this State, DIR. E.
MI. Walker informs the SoatheTn
CultiVator that one county has fur
nished seven thousand beeves in
the. last six months. This same
county sent off over three thousand
last year, and yet is not considered
a stock raising county. The CON
troller's report for 1867 shows
fraction. over four millions for the
State, and the Doctor thinks we
may readily suppose his report
would be more likely to be under
than over the true figures. He
says, too, that there IS plenty Of
room for more stock raisers in
Texas; that the business is, or
could be easily made, one Of the
best in the world, and that North
em, Western and Northwestern
Texas are the regions where cattle
can be grown up to more profit
than anywhere else. /" Here, at
the present time, the end Of one of
Iexas's harvest winters, are being
driven to the market from the prai-
ries, beeves full fat and In keeping
for the slaughter house, marbled
and Of savory flavor. z
OF late, we are informed, stock
raisers are making efforts to keep
their herds up to certain figures
and no mora and 6 Tins cattle ara
grown by millions On the prairies
81 Texas. In those districts bet
ter adapted to agriculture and less
adapted to stock, much attention
is paid to the improvement Of the
common breed Of cattle. Many
farmers are enclosing pastures Of
rich mesquite grass sowing down
rye and barley where the pasture
is short, and saving hay to feed on
the few cold, wet days of winter.
Many are procuring Short Horns,
Devons and Herefords for improv-
ing their stock. a Tia this way many
of the farmers are making their
lands pay better than under the
cotton dynasty and we would sug-
gest that the same course would
produce the same result over the
whole, South.

Our Indictment of Seymour - Guilt
Confessed.

HoRATIo SEYMOUR stands indicted for
1. Inciting to Riot.
2. Yielding to Rioters their demands on
the Government, at the Peril of the Ma
ton.
3. Threatening the President Of the
United States with the disorderly violence
of "the People" if he proceeded in efforts
vitally necessary to the salvation Of the
Union.
Horatio Seymour is confessedly, there
FORE Fomenter of Sedition, Cham
pion of Rioters, Menacer of Govern
ment.
A Fomenter of Sedition, in that he told
the turbulent masses of New York City
that Mob had an equal right with the
Government to proclaim the law of public
necessity.
A Champion Of Rioters, in that he es-
poused their cause, said that they should
be satisfied, and demanded Of the Gov
ernment, that the draft should be sus-
pended and stopped, at their violent be-
hest.
A Menacer of Government, in that he
warned it of the temper of the people, y
if it did not yield to him and his riotous
friends.
And all this IN criminal disregard of
the imminent peril in which his country
and its defenders were placed at the time.
Here are the counts and the evidence
in this grave Indictment. We have asked
the Argus. to defend Horatio Seymour,
and it utterly refused to do so. The Plea
of Guilty is entered. What Friend of
