THE ST. THOMAS NEGOTIATIONS.

The point raised by a correspondent
who maintains, In another column, that
the priority of the negotiations between
Denmark and the United States regarding
the formers West Indian possessions.
torblds her from now being put on o par
with the Dominican Republic, as a "rival
0ldder," is we'll taken. 1t is, indeed, a
difficult matter for the Government, as
We have already shown at length, to re-
pudlate with honor the treaty made by
MIR. Seward, whereby we offered seven
and a half millions in gold TO Denmark
for the islands of ST. Thomas and ST.
John. 1t is certain that the oyertures for
this purchase were made by our Govern
ment in January, 1865 that they were
then declined by Denmark that they were
renewed and pressed by our Government,
and only consented to after repeated So
llcltatlons. 1t was not until two wears
after this urgent demand-namely, ia
January, 1867-that Mr.. Frederick Sew
ards visit to San Domingo was planned,
with ANEW to purchase or lease the Bay
OF SANTANA in case Denmark should not
sell us st. Thomas. Even then Mr..
"otN oN"O uiSPdtCu ny AtIdnClC caOIe,
"Tell Raasloff, haste, important" We all
know how, thus urged, the Danish Gov
erpment eventually made a counter pro-
position, md how our Government made
areply fixing the price on which the treaty
was based. In one view, as we said the
other day, our Government was inquiring
at the same moment, with a view to pur-
chase, about SANTANA and st. Thomas,
.. e., early in 1867. However, we were
dealing automatically with but one ma
ton, and, therefore, whether the Bay of
SANTANA be or be not acquired, or hired,
the negotiations with Denmark are on an
entirely different footing. We have al
ways believed that, but for the unfortunate
conjunction ofthree things Mr.. Johnson's
quarrel with Congress, the recent pur-
chase of Alaska. and the great stress for
public ec~onomy-the treaty with Dem
mark would have been signed. Two of
these obstacles are gradually losing their
force through distance, SO that possibly
some just treatment for Denmark is in
store.-N. 7. Times, 2sM Dec. 1869.

Washington, Monday, Dec. 81, 1869.

sent month will show about the same
decrease as last month, 81, $1,000. The
gold in the Treasury up 10 date is 10Y,

Intelligence has again been received
here, brought this time, it is said, by the
last mail from Europe, 10 the effect that
it is the intention of Great Britain to send
one of her ablest diplomatists 10 the Uni,
red States either to take the place of her
present Minister, Mr.. Thornton, or to
cooperate with him in the negotiation of

since the ocean rate of postage has been
reduced, their compensation will not per-
NIT oil further transportation without loss
It appears that the ships received at the
old rate about a hundred times as much
per pound for mail matter as for any
other class of freight, and now, having a
monopoly, they demand increased prices
or threaten to discard the mails. The
Post-Ohce Department is in earnest in
regard to the matter, and Mr.. Cresswell,
if he has no.: already gone, will go to
New York tomorrow, to give the sub
lect his personal attention.

in the morning papers, to adopt measures t.
relieve the families and persons who suffered
by the great fire in Calais last Saturday The

Mayor K;ngsbury, on sum'ng the position
OF Chairman, remarked that here was an ex.
cellant opportunity of verifying thai passage of
Scripture which says, "Cast thy bread upon
the waters; for thou shalt find It after many
days" In our distress and affection in Il g,
Calais stepped forward with ready and lib
eral hanl to our assistance. And now it is
for US to show by liberal deeds that we have
not forgotten the sympathy and aid then ex-
tended to us. According to the statements
respecting the fire at Calais, it is far more dis
astrous to that city in proportion to its vaiua-
ton, than was the fire of 1866 to Portland-for
property amounting to more than one third OF
the VALUATION of that city in 1ccl have Leen

graphic dispatch, but was unable to Oh &C.

that very large number of poor people had
