The Governor observed, that during the
former discussions of the Budget this rule has
been followed, that the End discussion of the
Budget itself has not taken place before all the
Grants have passed, and as this rule was based
on this, that the finally granted sums should
be entered in the Budget at its End discussion,
His Excellency would recommend that the
same rule be adopted now also.
The Chairman having vacated his seat,
which was taken by the Vice Chairman Christ
mas), the 1st member for Frederksted's town
(Sarauw) observed, that the Committee had in
its report made the remark, that the outlay for
the offices under the government had been in
creased since 1864 with upwards of $500,
although it was fully acknowledged, that the
separation Of this Islands finances from those
of st. Thomas and St. John as a matter of
course would cause a reduction in the expendi-
ture for these Colonies. This remark was con
tradicted by the Governor, who maintained,
that there had been a contrary suppOSition,
because the revenue of the LandtreaSury would
have to be transferred to the former State
Treasury, now the Colonial Treasury. The
Speaker would however maintain, that the
Committees opinion was perfectly correct
The Colonial Council common for all the Isl
andS stated in its most submissive report on
the Colonial Law, that the separation must
cause retrenchments in the expenses for the
administration in St. Thomas as we'll as in ST.
CrOix, and in the session 1864 the Colonial
Council objected to an increase in the salary of
the End gOvernmpnt-Secretary with reference
to that very soon the result of the new order OIL
things would he a retrenchment in the rxprndi
ture for the governments secretary'S office.
The Governor stated, that from what had
been brought forwarded by the last Speaker
he could have no doubt of the Colonial Council
having expressed themselves to that purpose
on former occasions but as yet it was not del
cided if this opinion has been founded, and bel
thought, that it was evident, that the work in
the government-ofices had to be augmented
when assuming also the business of the former
Burgher Councils Offices, and that it was a
fortunate result when this, which formerly had
cost $4,000 p. a had caused only an outlay of
500 annually.

BRUTAL AssAULTs.-A few weeks ago we had
occasion to mention that young lady, proceed
ing to her home in east Ottawa in the evening,
was seized by a rufian at the very gate of her
home, and but for instant aid, might have suf-
fered gross outrage.
Another case occurred on Monday evening, be-
tween and 3 o'clock. As Mrs Ely, who lives
on the corner of Columbus and Water sts., was
on her way home, she was followed by rufiian
from MONEYS corner to little ,outh of Dickey's
jewelry store, where the brute seized her by the
shoulder, putting hand over her mouth and
tripping her feet so that she fell. Being wo.
man of muscle, however, she recovered her
feet, and making noise. attracted help. The
man was identified As Frank Downey, and on
Wednesday, having been taken before Police
Magistrate Leavens, was fined $l5 and costs ul-
der the ordinance for "diSorderly conduct" Not
paying the fine, he is still in Jail.
On Wedncsdoe evening there was another case
of the kind. Two young ladies were crossing
Fox river bridge, when one Of them was seized
by rufiian. The other ran away with all her
might, and beyond the bridge met Mr.. Freden-
burg, to wnom she hastily told the occurrence
Mr.. +. hastened to the rescue, and releasing the
lady, detained the scoundrel. Mr.. Shaw passing
that way, also took hold of the man, and the two
tried to take hm befole magistrate, but finding
none in, finally let the man 20 on giving his
name and solemnly agreeing to appear volunt.-
rily before the magistrate in the morning. The
man, it appears gave his name correctly, as Al
bert Cummins, but he has not since been seen or
heard Of. We have not learned the name of
either Of the ladies.

MEssRs. EpIToRs: Having returned from Il
trip through Michigan, where have been for the
last few weeks, on my arrival at the depot in
our kind little prairie home, the first greeting
got was, that the City Council had held sl,scaas
meeting, just five days before the time was ex-
pected home, and also before a regular meeting
of the City Council, at which L had hoped tU
participate.
And that they had passed an ordinance to be
submitted to the people at the next election, to
vote for Fifteen Thousand Dollars in addition to
the large amount appropriated the past year, for
school purposes, accompanied with threat, that
if the same was not gotsd for, the schools should
be closed.
Some are of the opinion that the Board, in an
ticipating more than the revenue assigned them
for school purposes, without first consulting those
from whom they expected to realize the same,
have acted hastily and it is thought by many
unwisely.
simply call the attention of the public to
this matter that they may be aware that ], iu
my position as Mayor, do not fully endorse this
hasty action We pay tax to support our
schools, and I hold many doubts whether the
Board of Education have any right to use that
money for any other purpose than that for which
it was intended THOMAS CLANCY Mayor.
