amendments, drafts of which will be laid
before our Colonial Council. This Labor
Act / believe is in full force in the Island
of st. John, and is also nominalIy valid in
st. Thomas.
| have observed on several occasions it
has been stated in your paper that the in
habitants of st. Croix have addressed His
Majesty and chosen Governor Birch 10
be the bearer Of their wishes, and it has
also been Observation-Disclosures in doing
so they have acted wisely. I wish 10 cor
rect this erroneous impression which it
appears the ST. Thomas people are under.
The inhabitants Of St. Croix have not ad-
dressed His Maj esfy, nor have they chosen
Governor Birch as their messenger ; had
they done so, they would indeed have
acted wisely. 1t is the small body ofsu-
gar estates owners who have addressed
the King, and who Governor Birch repre-
sents, for al a meeting Of Planters, called
for the purpose of drawing up the address,
it was expressly mentioned, that none but
Planters would be allo wed TO sign it.

gets the Minister TO propose the following
TO the Rigsdag.

THE WOMEN AND CONGRESS.

The New York Worlds Washington CORES
pondent thus describes the interview of the
strong-minded women with the Congressional
Committees:
The franchise convention kept their best wine
to the last. This morning, when committee
OF ladies met the House Committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia, the committee-room at the
Capitol was crowded with the strongest and
brightest women of the New York branch of
the suffrage party, and inquiring Senators and
members to meet them. The judiciary Com
mittee of the Senate was invited to meet the
House committee, and came in unofficially.
The following gentlemen were present: Senate
Mr.. Hamlin, Chairman; Messrs. Patterson,
Rice, Harris, Vlckers, Sumner, and Pratt
House-Mr. Cook, Chairman; Messrs. Welk-
er, Boles, GilflIan, Hamilton, Williams, and
Cowles. The deputation from the convention
included Mrs E. Cady Stanton; Mrs. Paulina
of Connecticut; Nine, Anneke, of Wisconsin;
Miss Cozzens, of Missouri; Miss Anthony, Mrs.
Wilbour, Mrs Jocelyn Gage, and Mrs. Wright,
of New York. A larger number of States,
would have been represented, but some of the
delegates were obliged to leave at the close of
the convention. 1t was triumph for the fran
chise leaders. For years they had tried to
gain hearing. and had been Iut off with po-
lite evasons. They have now grown strong
enough in influence and interest to draw the
ear of two Congressional committees, and they
felt they had good right to be rejoiced. Miss
Anthony and Mrs. Wilbour alone had given
toll and study enough to the cause to deserve
such concession. The ladies of the deputa-
ton each spoke, and the Senators listened to
arguments which have already wearied your
readers, but have not been received by these
men,. "They listened,'' said one, "as if they
were listening to their grandmothers." The
women spoke with inspiration, each one Ro-
land for the time. Mrs. Stanton opened the ar
gument, Mrs. Wilbour followed, and Miss An
thony brought nervous force of words to this
pleading of a weighty cause before grave tri-
bunal. Then Mrs. Hooker stood up, her deli
cate cheeks afame, and made her piOus plea
that she felt it her duty to vote, and call from
God was upon her spirit to vote, and showed
the religious, as Mrs. Wibour showed the hu-
manitarian, side of the question The Senators
listened, questioned, and the result was ex-
pressed by Mr. Charles Sumner. Hesaid:
"For twenty years have been on different
committees, and have never seen so large pro-
portion of the members of any one present, or
seen such absorbed attention, or heard such
forcible demonstration, and you may say SO if
you choose"

RECENT DISCOVERIES AT PoMPET.-Mr.
A. H. Layard, the explorer of Nneveh, writes
from Naples. under date of October ID, 1869,
that among the recent discoveries at Pompeii,
there is one of considerable interest, and alto
gether of novel character. On the walls of
a house, of no great size, and evidently belong
ing to persons of the poorer class, was found
view of the Amphitheatre of Pompeii, of the city
walls and towers adjoining it, and of build
ing of considerable size. apparently depending
upon the amphitheatre, the remains of which
must still be underground, and for which the
authorities are going to search. Although this
landscape is rudely executed, and is evidently
the work of mere dauber, it represents very
accurately the general features of the remains
of the Amphitheatre now existing the exterior
stalrcases built upon arches leading to the up
per, vomitoria, the arena, (the walls of which
are represented as painted to initiate marble,
and so they were found when first dug Out),
the city walls. the towers, etc. The artist has
recorded in his picture the fight between the
people of Pompeii and Nocera, which COM
menced in the amphitheatre, and led to its being
closed for ten years by Nero. Various groups
of combatants are seen on the gradines of the
ampbitheatre, in the open space surrounding
the building. Men are falling wounded, and
Others lie dead on the ground. In the space
surrounding the amphitheatre are seen trees,
and stalls protected from the sun by awnings,
such as are now everywhere erected in the
streets of Naples; fruit and lemonade were
probably sold in them; in one is bench exact
ly like those now in common use. Men and
women are seen flying from the fight which is
raging, some apparently carrying away thir
goods. This very curious painting is especially
as being the only existing ancient
view of q building the details of which can be
identified. If similar views of Rome, Pompeii,
and other cities, executed by competent art
lists. had been preserved, they would have been
invaluable. Unfortunately, sketches of this
kind were made by very inferior painters, who
appear to have amused themselves by daubing
on the walls, while artists of superior class
seem to have confined themselves either to the
reproduction of well known pictures, or to the
of the usual myths, fables and
egeds.

SENATOR CARPENTER AND CUBA.

On the 4th of February, in the u s. Senate
while the bill to more effectually preserve the
neutral relations Of the United States was un.
der consideration, Mr.. Carpenter of Wiscon
sin, who claims to be about as radical as any.
body, in speech on the bill, in which he took
the position that belligerent rights should be
accorded to the Cubans, made use of the fol.
lowing language in regard to the release of the
Spanish gunboats:
Having shown, as I think. that our neutral.
lty law tOrbds either Spain or Cuba to fit out
war vessels in the United States. am not at
liberty to reproach the law with the mOnstrous
injustice which has been committed under it,
by allowing Spain to fit out thirty gunboats and
denying the same right to Cuba by clearing at
our custom.house the war vessels purchased by
Spain. and libeling the ships purchased by Gu
ba. This unrivaled outrage, winch ought to
make the cheek of every American crimson
with shame, is not properly chargeable upon
the law. 1t has been committed not under the
law, but in defiance of it, and because the law
has not been faithfully executed"
This sounds like strange language to come
from one OF the leaders of the Radical party
one of that class who generally speak of Grant
as it was said of the King in monarchical gov
ernments, that she can do no wrong, "-and we
think Mr.. Carpenter is entitled to some credit
for the independence he has shown, not only on
the Cuban question but also on the admission
OF Virginia. He appears to be rather breachy
and not disposed to be confined within the linn
its of the Radical camp. In pronounc!ng the
release OF the Spanish gunboats and the deten.
tion of the Cuban vessels an unriyaled outrage
he but speaks the sentiments of ut least three.
fourths of the American reople, and we hope
he will not let the matter rest, but agtate the
subject until the struggling patriots in Cuba re-
ceive justice ut the hands of the American Gov
ernment. Mr.. Carpenter says that these out.
rageous acts of the present Administration
were committed not under the law, but in def
ance OF it, and that the law has not been faith
fully executed. Grant, when inaugurated, in
taking upoa himself the duties of.the presi-
Dental Office, took an oath that he would take
and according to the Wisconsin Senator he has
been guilty of violation of his official oath,
but we don't think any one viii b. surprised
at it, The plea of ignorance, though no ex-
cuse or defense at law, can be safely plead by
Grant nj any time, ap9 will be certain TO keep
him in good odor and high standing with his
Radical friends.

VINpICTIvENEss.-The following we take
from an eastern exchange:
The daughters of Chief Justice Taney are earning
a living in Washington as copysts.
1t is n disgrace to the present Admlnistra-
tion that these ladies, daughters of one of the
most distinguished jurists that our country has
ever produced, should be permitted to exc out
n precarious livelihood as copyists; seeking
employment from persons who have writings
which they desire transcribed. Members of
Congress I'll the vacant clerkships in the va
rious Departments with their prostitutes and
kept mstrcsses, while these ladies, who are
finely educated, daughters of man who, for
more than quarter of century, filled with
credit to himself and honor to the country the
most responsible and honorable position under
the Government, whose strict integrity and
honesty in the high position which he held de-
barred him from making any provision for the
future support and maintenance of those who
were dependent on him while living. A hund-
red thousand dollars is easily raised by SUBJ
scription for the widow of the late Secretary
Stanton, almost the same for Mrs Rawlins, and
hundreds of thousands presented to Grant, but
not one dollar, nor even pitiful clerkships, be-
slowed on the unfortunate daughters of the au.
thor of the Dred Scott decision.
