such a statement had once been laid on the
Councils table, but shortly after removed again,
because it was said to contain som mistakes.
Before we get such a statement, it will be use
less to speak more ofthe matter. But he would
here observe, that besides the expenses men
toned here to-day, he remembers that in the
Burgher Councils time some 5 to Sc, 900 were
used for building a house and for providing artic-
les of clothing for liberated Africans that were ex-
pected to be brought here from captured %slavers.

PROCEEDINGS OF,
THE
Colonial Council.
FOR ST. CROIX.

Conclusion Of the meeting of goth Decbr.)
2nd Member for Christianstcd Country Dis
trict (iatcIiffe) observed, that The proposal
from the 9TH Member for Clristiansted'8 Country
District (Farrelly) was no doubt right and pro-
per in its main points, but it would be attended
with great difficulty to carry it through. The
proposal states, that the party who employs an
immigrant for the second year Of his stay in the
Island shall pay SIS, and the party engaging the
immigrant for the third yerr shall pay the same
amount. Butt is generally said, allowed and
believed to be the case, that there is some mo-
tive for the removals of Iaborers in the shape of
brides the eight dollars and the bride would in
reality buy the immigrant to remain on the first
estate. His attempts would be to eVade ii, and
he could do so very easily, by merely going
to st. Thomas, and when he returns the new
employer can not be made to pay the former
any thing. Besides that very few planters will
be willing to pay SIS besides the bride. 1t gricy-
ed him to hear the sad state of the Immigration
fund, which perfectly amazed him. The impor-
tation of the Coolies is supposed to have cost
$50, 600, and for sending them back $4,000,
so that consequently $4,000 have been eXpend-
ed for other purposes. The capital ought not
to have been exhausted in this manner. The
result is, that the whole revenue of tho Immi-
gratiOntund IS now being used for paying INSTALL
ments on the debt and for salaries of officials,
and the Immigration-tax which we still con-
tinue to pay is now to no use we are now pay
ing for the sins of those who went before us.
He thought that the Immigrationfuud Showed
much more favorable balance when assumed by
the Colonial Treasury; perhaps the lst Member
for Frederiksted will give some explanation on
this head.
The Governor called to mind, that daring tho
discussion in 1862 concerning the establishment
of the Immigration-Fund it was calculated that
the loan of 500 600 would have been chiefly
applied for the importation of Eastindia Coolies
in the following years, and it was supposed that
we would have been able to import 900 to 1900
Coolies in the course of a couple years. After
the arrival here in 1863 of the first lot of Coo
lies, 500 in number, the planters very soon com
menced to shew a decided preference for inn
migrants from theneighboring Westindia Islands,
and as the circumstances were just at that time
favorable to an importation from those Islands,
very large sums were expended by the Burgher
Council from the means Of the Immigrationfund
for that purpose, the exact sum he could not
now remember. Afterwards certain rules were
adopted in reference to the granting of subsidy
from the ImmigratiOnfund towards the importa-
ton ofimmigrantS from foreign Westindia Islands,

the original plan had been followed, viz: that Of
continuing the importation Of Coolies from the
East Indies with the obligation to provide for
their return home. With reference to the I'M
migration-tax, and the subsidy from the Land
treasury formerly, now from the Colonial Urea
sury, it had been perfectly well understood at
the time Of the establishm6aamof the Immigra-
t%ionfund, that this reyenu d be principally
expended for paying in~teresSHYd instalment on

vantages have not been realized, we can
regard it's destruction by the misguided adj
vocates of an impossible equality with the
calm philosophy of one who looks to every
change for compensation"
The common school system has not been
perfected in large number of States and
territories, or even introduced in some to
an extent worthy of consideration. 1t is,
therefore, premature to pronounce failure.
There Is a singular contrast between COM
mon school States and those which enjoy
the bliss of ignorance; and whether p0pu-
lation, value of property and merchandise,
internal improvements, inventions, htera-
ture, men OF genius, or cOntentment of the
people enter into the comparison, the COM
mon school State invariably outranks the
feeble competitor. The "calm philosophy"
with which the Times would regard the de-
struction Of the system reminds me Of the
tradition of Nero fiddling while Rome was
burning. 1t is strange, indeed, that in the
land Of Washington, who fervently pleaded
the cause of education, and of statesmen
who have, withdrawing eloquence, urged its
necessity in perpetuatiOn Of civil govern
ment, that a leading newspaper, in one of
its first cities, should dare to publish such
lnfamy. The editor traduces his birthright
and abuses his privileges BY his senti-
ments he does not honor the press.
When the Times refers to white and
=. 'colored " citizens of the community, re-
member that q fifteenth amendment has
been added to the laws of the people, sane
toned by their ballots. The crusade against
popular government, in attempting to pull
down the chief pillar of the temple, will
stamp its leaders as Arnolds and IscariOts,
and none should envy their position. The
earnest and thoughtful men must unite for
the common veal and the prevention of
further woes Education and morality are
the hope of the republic.

ON CARONDELET STREET.

Yesterday our dealers had a pleasing
spasm of activity. The days business,
to be sure, could not be compared with
the daily trade of the winter months :;
but it was decidedly respectable in
amount and interest, in contrast with the
prevailing stagnation Of several weeks
past.
The most important financial event of
yesterday was the auction sale of city Sc
curities by Mr.. Alfred Bouligny, 1877
Gravier street. The bidding was active
and the prices realized showed plenty of
confidence in the present improving con-
dition of municipal finances. SIS, PAT so
New Orleans fiscal agency seven per cent
certificates brought 85l. This was most
excellent sale and above the market rate.
A private sale of $1,000 in the same securi
ties yesterday realizing but 81. Eighteen
thousand dollars in city consolidated bonds
February and August coupons) were
knocked down at 65!. This apparently
low figure is accounted for by the fact
that the bonds sold bear the signature of
Mayor Hoyt, of the military regime, and
for that reason parties looking for invest
ments are rather shy respecting them.
There is nothing more timidly sensitive
than capital, and whether there is sense or
folly in the objections raised to the legal
authority Of the military city officials, the
objections exist, to the disadvantage of
these bonds. The other New Orleans
consolidated bonds are quoted now at
from 70 to 70. Opinions vary very much
upon the street as to the market value of
the Hoyt bonds. Twenty thousand dol
lars old city seven per cent bonds re-
Allied 74i at auction. This was hand
some sale, above street quotations. The
Citizens Bank took all the securities dis
posed of by Mr.. Bouligny. The only
other reported sales of city promises to
pay We're lot of $4,000 new seven per
cent bonds at 709, another of $500 (three
bonds of 500 each) at III, and third,
of $500, at ~.
The trouble anticipated relative to the
last issue of city bonds, with reference to
the certificate Of assignment, blank and
otherwise, endorsed thereon, has come
precisely as predicted by the REPUBLICAN
and Times. The distinction between the
two classes GLASSES created inadvertently
is generally noticed by dealers, to the dis

/ GREAT IMPROVEMENT.

The following few of the reasons why this
CONCRETE should be used in preference to all
other materials:
l. 1t has been tested through of the hottest of
New Orleans summers, and found not to soften by
the heat of the sun.
2. Being in general use at the North, il necessa-
rily must be proof against cold.
3. 1t is as durable as stone and much less expen-
sive.
4. 1t is perfectly impervous to water and conse-
quently quickly becomes dry when wet.
5. 1t makes no dust in dry or mud in wet wea-
ther.
6. II does not crack or crumble, nor is it washed
by the rain.
:. It is impenetrable to grass, weeds or water.
s. 1t prevents noxious vapors or gases arising
from the ground beneath and affords no eservoirs
for filth or fostering decompositions.
9. 1t is laid down quickly, and ready for use
when finished.
TO- 1t is easily taken up easily relaid and easily
repaired when necessary.

AN EP1sTLE TO FRENCH REPUBLICANS.

General John A. McClernand, one of
Grants corps commanders during the
first three or four days of the siege of
Vicksburg, but at present judge of one of
the Illinois courts at Springfield, has
written an address "to the Republicans
of France" The General is pretty well
! known as one Of the champions of De-
| mocracy in the Northwest. During the
! contest between the South and the Union,
he was war Democrat, and lost some of
his influence with the slavery-loving De-
mocracy as consequence. His practical
retirement from service before the close
Of the war condoned to some ex-
tent his offense against his cop
perhead allies, and We believe
he is now held in high favor by them.
His address makes nearly two columns
of solid matter in the New York Herald,
and is of the high pressure order. With
out clearly establishing his premises, he
takes it for granted that Frenchmen rep
resent popular principles in the contest,
while Prussia is the champion of mon
archy. He is studiously silent as to the
claims Of the Emperor, and writes as
though the French nation were unit for
the idea of France without Napoleon. A
faint attempt to praise the Emperor for
his Intervention in favor of the infdel
Turk is about the only notice the General
makes Of his existence. A terrible array
of charges is brought against Prussia, re-
minding us of the phiEppics that were
pronounced against the Republicans of
New England by Southern Congressman
in 1S60-61. And this parallel may be ex-
tended to the evidence cited.
AS the utterances of a man who has
been remarkable for political eccentricity
and errors, this address possesses little
interest; but as the exponent of the policy
Of the Democratic party it is worthy the
attention of the Germans. When the
people of Fatherland wish to change their
form of government and set aside the royal
family for popular government, they
will hardly call in Louis Napoleon as an
ally. And if the cause of popular liberty
on the continent of Europe has no better
champion than he has proved himself to
be, it is time it made the best terms pos
sible with legitimacy. The interests of the
Republicans of France are not those Of the
Emperor, and nothing but their high sense
Of duty to their country compels them to
give him reluctant support in this his last
effort to fasten himself and his heirs on
the throne Of France. They will settle
with him when the invading Prussians
leave the soil of their country.

DEMOCRATIC GAINS.

As the Democratic party is exceedingly
anxious to fill its ranks, even with colored
men, and as "there is natural sympathy
between the Democracy and the colored
people of this State" and as Bechtel &
Co. have been cut loose from the Repub-
hcan party, and are free to take their
wares to the best market, we congratulate
the Democracy upon this splendid oppor-
tunity of filling up its depleted ranks
1t is particularly fortunate for the Demo-
cratic committee that Mr.. Bechtel will be
able to serve them in double capacity,
presenting himself either as white or
coiored man, as the occasion may require.
we 1eei sure our Democratic friends will
not lose SO fine an opportunity.
