Inc clause repeating tue 10" III thS
publication of the statutes in newspapers
was struck out, on a point OF order, as
being independent legislation, and there
fore not in order in an appropriation
bill.
The House then went into committee
of the Whole ON the deficiency appro-
priation bill.
Mr.. Holman renewed his motion to
strike out the paragraph appropriating
5000 for publishing the laws OF the
4Lst Congress in newspapers.
Mr.. Farnsworth thought the act au.
,borizing those useless publications
ought TO be repealed. The newspapers
selected were generally those of small
local circulation. and even supposing
ANYBODY ever read these laws, they
reached but few readers. Yet this use
less advertising cost over $4,000 q
wear. The whole thing was illogical,
unfair, gratuitious and useless.
Mr.. Garfield stated that while be was
in favor Of repeating the acts authoriz-
ing these publications, he thought this
paragraph ought to be retained as it
was to pay the debt already incurred BY
the Government.
Mr.. Holman's motion was then re-
jected and the paragraph in the bill
repeating the acts authorizing the pub
lication OF laws in the newspapers was
ruled out on q point Of order that it
contained new legislation and was not
german to an appropriation bill.
Mr.. Roosevelt moved to amend the
paragraph making an appropriation for

adding an appropriation Of $1,000
for fish breeding on the Atlantic and

TO the Editor of the "St. CrOix Avis"
Dear Sir !!

am sorry to see the Tidendo SO ex-
ceedingIy weak, that, according to its own
confession, the fatigue of climbing my ten
stories was too great for it. The fippant
youth was ''Iaid' on entering the first story.
Of the piles Of Interpretations he asserts to
have observed in my notes, he did not point
out one. A cold colonial shudder ran
through his colonial frame he was crush
ed. The mere fact of any body issuing q
Colonial note except his currish self
was enough. In the first story he found
the fundamental doctrine laid down that
there is such a thing in this world as o free
agent-Here is q train of arguments in the
noting style to prove that there is no such
thing as free agency mot even the Su-
perior Authority is a free agent, seeing that
he is subject to the Minister nor the Min
lister, seeing that he is subject to the King;
nor even the King, seeing that he is sub
ject to the Law ; nor any body at all, if
one believes in predestination, is o free
agent" Let me add nor even the Tiden-
de, seeing that it can not see how it is led

MOTIVES TO THE COLONIAL LAW.
General RemarkS,

genera AGHGU/hS'
In referring to the accompanying remarks by
which each Of the proposed alterations IN the
Colonial Law of 9th November 1868 will be
separately explained, Government would IN
this place oonine itself to Indicate briefly the
point of view it has assumed while framing the
Draft of Law, which is now hereby submitted
to the Colonial Councils in accordance with the
enactment contained in 5 S IS, l and 2 of the
Colonial Law.
The fundamental principle in the Colonial
Law of 9th November 1868 was: through fl
nanoial independence and participation in the
legislative work to lead the Danish West India
Colonies on to Self. Government, the develop
ment of the Islands being at the same time
kept connected with that ofthe MOther-Country
by means of Administration, as we'll as by the
the rules of legislation. 1t is the desire OF Go
vernment to retain that fundamental principle.
1t is of opinion that the existing Institutions,
which have the advantage of being familiar to
us, do not crave any essential alterations in or
der to answer the stated purpose: They give
the population access to exercise, through the
medium of the representative assemblies OF the
islands, an active control with the local Admi-
nistration and to acquire that degree of intlu-
enoe relative to the affairs of the islands. which
has, in point of fact, proved decisive.
There are however, in the Colonial Law GER
tain enactments which may have checked the
development in the direction intended by the
Law; the already mentioned control with the To-
cal Administration might be more fully secured
and the legislative authority of the Colonial
Councils, be more expressly laid down as the
rule; the enaotments concerning the exercise OF
the franchise may require revision in order to
make the participation in the elections more
, 1872-08-10

general and easy; a wider scope might be desira-
bic, considering that the local relations could
render certain enactments appropriate in the
one island, for which the other had no use;
there are, finally, various paragraphs in the
Colonial Law,-which at the time, merely SER
we'd to determine in what manner the new insti-
buttons should supersede the former ones, but
have now become superduous and can be omitted
f. j. 5 5 5O-52 Of Colonial Law 1869.
These considerations have induced Govern
ment to submit the present Draft of a new Co.
lonial Law regarding which the conviction is
entertained that it will at any time prove a
sufficient guarantee that the special relations
and requirements Of the islands will be made to
decide how their own affairs be regulated and
that, if rightly used,-and provided the citizens
will give their interest and their abilities to
public affairs it will allow the free develop
ment of the interior state of the islands accom-
panied by an increase Of their wealth, and the
promotion Of enlightenment in their population.
Government comedies that this s ought to be
wOrded in such a manner that the full partici-
patton of the Colonial Councils in legiSlating
for the interior affairs of the islands is asser-
ted as fundamental principle and chief rule.
The two exceptions from the rule, which are
next established in 5 l rest upon the ground,
that the Legislative Power of the mother-cOun-
try, whose constitutional competence extends
also to the Colonies, cannot be precluded-
even as such preclusion would not correspond
with the interest Of the Go onies-f ON all par
t~icipation in the development of the relations
of these Islands. From this it necessarily fol-
lows that the Colonial Law itself cannot be
passed or altered without the consent of the
Danish RigSdag (Diet). And when the Draft,
moreover, preserves-witn the restriction pre-
scribed in the S-tho Diets right of passing
Laws for the Colonies, this is not solely be-
cause the position, which the latter by public
Law occupy in relation to the mothercountry,
entails that right, but because that very provi-
sion may afford on the other side to the Colo
mics a support against a pressure which it
would be possible for Government to exercise
in matters of colonial legislation.
A Draft of law, dangerous to the special in
terests of the Colonies, or even unjust, will pro-
badly meet with a frmer resistance in the Co.
lOniaI Councils wien the opposing party can
count upon that its motives will be weighed in
the representation of the Mother Country. 1t
must, finally, not be overlooked that the exis-
ting circumstances in the colonies cause a part
of the population to be unrepresentcd in the
Colonial Councils, and that, hence, Government
will feel in duty bound to reserve for itself the
possibility of effeoting mea ures for the benefit
of that population.

away by its pickering propensities to ex-
pose itself to ridicuIe. What has predes-
"tination to do with my observation on free
agency? Or does the Tidende believe that
it has been predestined from All eternity to
make Colonial Notes on "ca ntankerous
Crucians," and in the same breath declare
that it has never descended to use such
terms as ignorant scribbler." Oh Tiden-
de there must surely be a good deal OF
asinlne Obtuseness In the man who performs
these intellectual capers. The Tidende
does not like my assertion that Heaven has
made US over this way free to good and i'll {:
it appears to the Tidende that the i'll is pre-
dominating, as is evidenced by our not having
exercised our free agency when the lsland
lost its privilege as the seat of the Superior
Administration, with the benefits derived
therefrom, supposed by the Tidende to be
the $1,000 from St. Thomas.-Here is an
other example of reasoning which might be
fifty attributed to a man likened to the OBJ
fuse long-eared animal, the almost exclu-
sive medium of lOcomotion in the island Of
rocks, where | am sure no man in his SEN
ses would ever take out a patent either for
wheels or balloons. That "Thomas WAS
ever a doubter," may be but what is
worse, he ever was a cavller with brains
rather muddy. Why not use the fine
Dredging Machine, of St. Thomas, which
has lately been doing very little else than
rusting and rotting generally" for cleaning
out lis brain? There might then, possibly,
be some hope of his learning at last that
there are other benefits derived from hav-
ing the Superior Administration on the is
land than those everlasting $1,000. We
were, Of course, as free to bawl o. FHa<m
mas but not o voice has been heard from
which it might in any way be concluded
that the transfer was "hated" here in St.
Croix. The Tidende's ~''harpings" are there
fore perfectly perfdious. But, naturally
enough, we do not appreciate u bargain
which gives US an inferior article at "a high
er price, and we do not see why we should
be made to pay ST. Thomas for services not
rendered. We intend to use all the free
agency, ut our command, to prevent St.
Thomas from "ridlng u.s." The Didymites
may be skeptical as regards many things:
they may doubt, as l do myself, of the pos
sibiIity Of any Dredging Machine il the
world, even that at st. Thomas, being equal
to the task of cleaning out the muddy So
phi'try of the Colonial noter's seat Of in
teIlect but one thing is certain, they are
always we'll informed A rumour has
reached the cantankerous Editor, on his

used in Sta. Cruz. His editorial majesty ct

by gas-blowers. 1.-The effect was instant,
as the lightning flies with momentary lus-
tire thro' the Skies" He instantly started
up, gave several shrieks Of JOY at the ex-
pected gain, and, for the edi6cation of hui
manity, and with an eye to the almighty
dollar, OF patent for gas to fill the balloons,
he rushed into print with this rumour,
which he has published ''in good faith" in
