TRANSLATION OF THE DEBATE IN

FOR CERTAIN FINANCIAL MEA-
SURFS RELATING TO THE
ISLAND OF ST. CROIX.
(St. Th0me Tldende.l

A. HAGE: The Honorable Member, who
first spoke, observed that he did not consider
that there was any particular desire to take the
word in this matter. | am not animated by
any especially eager desire to do so, but with
the permission of the Honorable Member | will,
however, set forth a few remarks to this law
proposal. The Honorable speaker mentioned
also that the law-proposal would undoubtedly
be made matter for a more exact consideration,
for the report Of a Committee, etc. in this as

try has laid before us a proposal of no little i'm
portance and, according to well considered rea-
sons, this consideration and estimate in this as
Sembly will of course take place, [ will take the
liberty at once to call attention to the fact that
however this matter now stands, we ought not
to enter upon those grants without having it
clearly before our eyes, and fixed in our minds,
that we will never get those moneys back.
There is demanded a grant of $4,000 dollars
for four years. But l would now beg the Homo
rable Ministry to consider if there is any posi-
biiity of getting away from the Importantly,
and the complaints which will come, if we stop
giving Ahose $4,000 dollars. [ believe that we

THE APPROACHING ELECTIONS.

EARLY in the next year a half of the
members of the Colonial Council will re-
tire, and an election will take place to re-
place the vacant seats. AS there is every
possibility of there being very important
questions to be decided by that Body, and
as the towns are not so fully represented
as they night be, we cannot neglect this
opportunity of urging on persons who con-
slider themselves entitled to the franchise
to secure that right by application to the
Electoral Board before the 31st inst.
An avoidance of this important duty may
have a very pernicious effect on the future
of this Island. No one having the qualii-
cation Of an %elector can possibly throw any
blame on the Council if he neglects to do
his duty in giving a conscientious vote for
such members as he thinks can best repre-
sent the Islands true interests.

WE notice that our contemporary of the
Tidende in making a very faint apology for
its misstatements regarding the Avis falls
into the common error of seeing the moth
in his brothers eye and charges us with a
breach of the third commandment. Is our
contemporary forgetful of the command
ment standing on the table of mans duty
to his neighbour which forbids bearing
false witness?
We must again assure the Tidende that
we entertain the best wishes for its success
in all that it desires, the petition included,
and that We would not throw any obstacle
in the way of any political act which ST..
Thomas might decide upon e%ttecting even
if it were a declaration of independence
drawn up, like the petition, after the model
of that of the former American colonies.

Funny Adventure OF nm Old LRdy in "a
Washington Hotel.

Don Piatt writes as follows, from
Washington:
heard to-day of thrilling adven-
ture that befel tleshy old lady in our
hotel. Entering the elevator, on the
ground floor, to ascend to her room in
the fifth, she unhappily put her hand
on the wheel that regulates the engine.
The consequence was that the elevator
started with her, before the conductor
could get in. The old lady found her
self bound for the upper regions above
without guido, philosopher or friend.
She incontinently gave birth to a sue.
cesson of screams that resembled the
piercing whistle of q locomotive. |
suppose the venerable female hesitated
between the screams and faint, and
fixed on the first rs the moro available.
The conductor ran below, with great
presence of mind, and shut off the
steam. Bnt in his hnrry he misnalcu-
lated, and arrested the elevator between
two floors, so that the frightened piece
of female adipOse found herself impris-
oned, and redoubled her screams, inter
spoIsed with 4 furious succession Of
thumps, as il trying to pound through
the floor of the elevator.
After a time she was released. But
never after, during her stay, could she
be induced to enter the "pasky think"
but worked her way up stairs with in.
domitable will and very little wind.

Such discussion is imminent in the

again, and the old, old stories about
the beauties and beatitudes of rival as

Whether the re-opening of the question
will lead to its final adjustment can
scarcely be conjectured. Certainly no

Our City Election.

After the most mature deliberation
we have concluded not to display our
rooster IN honor of the election on Mon
day. No ordinary triumph would justi-
fy MS in dragging him from the comfort
of his winter quarters into publicity
and nCtoriety, and we have the gravest
missivings whether if called to contea-
plate the uninteresting results of Mon
day, he would not conclude that he was
summoned to attend somebody's funeral
rather than to celebrate an old fashioned
Democratic victory. Giving him the
benefit of the doubt we shall not disturb
the blissful quietude of his retirement
Of course we expected the defeat OF
JEFFERs and FARIs. Every man we
saw yesterday knew beforehand just
how it would turn out, and as we knew
as much about it as the best of them, we
are not going to admit that we are at
all astonished by the dull and disa,
greeable conclusion. At the same time
it may not be amiss to remark that none
off our side are wearing any new hats in
testimony Of their acute and accurate
provision. Wewould say that was be-
cause they never bet, but that would
leave the new hats worn by the other side
unaccounted for. We believe we will
allow such difficulties, as we allow TIE
figures, to explain themselves.
We know the straight Democrats are
not at all downoast, and therefore need
no consolation, but it's amazing how
many of them remember that MCCLEL
LAM and CoNANT are genuine and un
questionable Democrats. Like the ole
pugilist, who was fogged by his boy, ,
youthful proficient in the manly art
they even take comfort in their cslam
ity, for otis not every man who has &
son that can fog his own daddy" Thil
may be something to be very proud of

Virginia has been admitted at last.
But so odiOus, so onorOus and so dis
graceful are the conditions annexed to
her restoration that she comes like a
branded criminal, not like sister, into
the family of States. She can never
deprive the blacks Of the right of saf-
frage, she can never take from them the
right to hold office. She can never make
an alteration in her system Of educa-
ton effecting the blacks. No mat
tor what time may develop, no
matter What all the other States
may do, no matter what experience,
progress, or self preservation may de-

corpse of negroism, and must drag it
with painful steps through all the fu-
ture. An amendment to tie ConStitu-

No possible event can free her, as her
oppressors think, from the shackles
that have been placed upon her.
They call this reconstruction, yet it
carries with it the very elements of de-
struction, making the people bad citi-

freedom, yet it embodies the very es-

The Registrntiou Inv.

A bill was reported in the House yes
terday by Mr.. BowYER, liberal Repub'
licau from Putnam, for the modification
of the registration law. Among the
chief features of the bill, as we
gathered from somewhat hasty
reading, is provision for eleoting the
registrars by the people at the next
general election, the Supervisors to act
as registrars in the meantime. Another
provision requires the registration
of all who take the Test Oath,
leaving the Boards power to strike
off afterwards upon proof Of disloyalty.
Two or three other clauses of similar
fairness and justice complete the bill.
1t is much mere moderate in its tone
than might seem justifiable in the
precarious condition of the right
of suffrage here. but at the same time
ii provides against the more glaring in
Justice of the present law, and COM
mends itself to the approval of even the
proscriptive. We know not what cir
cumstances may develop, but we
do not see how a single member in
either branch can vote against this mod
ifcation. We have not beard any ex-
pressions upon the subject from the lib
erals of Ohio county, but from their
earnest avowals last Fall of purpose
to secure the amendment o.. our regis
tratiou laws, it is hardly to be ques.
toned that they will give this measure
the benefit of their influence. We pre-
sumo Mr.. BowYER's bill will be pre-
sented in a few days when we expoc: to
lay>it before our readers.

Editors of the Register:
The resolution offered and advocated
by Mr.. Davis in the House on Friday
declaIing it uDconstitutisnal>to to allow
members further compensation or emol
ument than the Constitution has fixed
and that an allowance of SO per mem
Der fer postage stamrs comes within the
prohibited powers, and its adoption
with so great unanimity, is encourag
ing indeed to all who believe written
Constitutions werth adheriDg to or pre-
serving.
The advocates for its allowance seem
to nae to err in placing it upon the same
footing with ordinary stationery. The
latter is Indispensable for transacting
legislation, which is the Legislatures
legitimate business; while the trans
mission of documents and letters
through the mail by members we all
know, from experience, is nineteen
twentieths of it for purely personal aud
elect!oneering purposes, either to retain
or enhance the political strength of the
member at home. Does the constituent
who happens to be political opponent
ever get any documents from the mem.
BERT The people can answer. Does
anybody but a few influential politi.
clans favor it2
1t is an attempt to arrogate by the
Legislature, contrary to the letter and
spirit of the Constitution, a sort Of
Thanking priAilege" like that which
Congress has go abused that the very
name stinks in the nostrils of honest
men.
The usurped right once acquiescsd in,
future Legislatures would be likely to
abuse, as Congress has the "frauking
privilege" The true way, therefore, is
"to nip it in the bud" What is to him
der the Secretary of State distributing
proportionately to the several counties

journals, &C., so they may be accessible
10 all the people, and cost not one

them; and if members have special po-
litical friends to whom they feel them.
selves under especial obligation, they
can enclose some of those allotted for
personal uses and pay the postage, as
honorable men should, out of their pIi.
vate funds. Nobody is compelled to ac-
cept Office under our Constitution. If
any think they can't afford it for the
compensation prescribed in the Consti-
tuition, all they have to do is to keep
from being candidates. 1t is the easiest
thing in the world. Preserve the Con-
Stitution inviolate, come what may:
