Through our exchanges we learn
that the missionaries sent BY the 10

the negroes Of the Southern States
have commenced their labors, the re-
suits Of which will doubtless be watch
cd With Considerable and peculiar In
terest. The large majority, In fact
nearly The whole Of the negro popula-
ton Of the United States, 80 Tar as
they have been brought under rell-
eious influences. are firmly. we may
say enthusiastically attached to vari-
Gus Protestant forms Of belief A ma
jority Of them are MethodistA and Of
the remainder tho Baptists monopo-
lize q large number. The emotional
character as well a. the simplicity OF
the public worship Of these denomina-
tions has something peculiarly attract
ive to the negro mind. and the attempt
to impose upon Thorn nsw religious
dogmas and an elaborate ceremonial
will to many persons seem nearly
hopeless. The missionaries doubtless
count much 90 the tsrvid Imagination
Of the negro racs. their docility under
spiritual guidance, and OH the fact
that wherever they have been brought
under the influence Of the Roman
Catholic Church, a. In Louisiana.

however, that the negro Is generally
faithful to early Impressions and ira

prove quito a. di6icult 70 convert the
colored Roman Catholics to Protost-
antlsm a. to Induce their brethren oil

English missionaries may help to civ.
ilize and educate the people among
whom they are laboring, they will
have the hearty sympathy Of all lib

SATURDAY Cru JULY 1872.

The first Draft Of Ordinance laid before
the Colonial Council by Governor Billie
was the one for the reorganization and re-
duction of the Military Force in both IS
lands. The Draft, as our readers are aware,
passed the Council 18th January last, re-
ceived the Royal sanction 25th March fol-
lowing and went into operation two months
later. The several discussions in the Coun-
Gil concerning this ordinance, as well as
the different articles in this paper, are no
doubt still fresh in the memory Of our
readers. Although this Ordinance, after
several alterations had been effected in the
Draft, was passed unanimously, it cannot
bv any means be considered satisfactory, or
be expected to be of long duration The
change was received as a temporary substl-
tute for the former state, and because 1t
promised not only greater effectiveness than
that, but also a considerable saving. 1t did
not pass ~unnoticed that there was a certain
luxury in the whole thing, and more par
ticularly certain high sal aries +; and aIIu-
sions were not wanting to a similar proceed
ing in regulating other offices. AS a JOINT
ordinance there were, however, several dit
fculties connected with the individual
changes that were desired. The fact that
Governor Billie was himself a military char
acter, and that this was his first work, pro-
badly also contributed its part to lessen
the resistance offered to the Bill. Govern
or Billie also laid great stress on the de-
sirableness Of avoiding another discussion
in the Colonial Council Of St. Thomas. 1t
must also be remembered that our Police
did not at the time, nor even now offer any
guarantee for a speedy development as a
Substitute for the Military. It will not
have been forgotten, however, that lmme-
diately after the Bill had passed the Coun-
ell, it was requested by two members to
, 1872-07-06

haze brought about an investigation OF the
possibility of further reducing or entirely
aboIisliug the Military and replace 1t
by a Militia. We believe however, and
have often expressed this as our decided
conviction, that public opinion goes in for a
powerful and well-organized Pc Ice to take
the place Of the present Military Force, be
hind which a w~elI-organized Militia might
stand as a further security. y
The long discussions which have lately
taken place in the Colonial Council con-
corning one Director or Inspector of the
Police and the separation of the judiciary
from the executive, may also be supposed
to have proceeded from similar plans. FL
nalIy we beg leave to call to mind that the
Majority of the Budget Committee spoke
Of the necessity Of soon revising the new
military ordinance on account OF its costIl-
ness We have already, even from those
conversant with the matter, heard doubts
expressed as to whether the recently estab-
Iished military plan in as far as St CroiX is
concerned ispracticaI and suitab e, and that
parties al home capable OF forming a correct
judgment, from being acquainted with the
locality, are of the same oplnlon.-Every
thing seems then to MITIGATE that Governor
Bille's Military Ordinance is not destined
to great longevity. 1t was from the very
outset considered as an evil, by most, as Il
necessary one, but an evil nevertheless,
which must be removed as soon as posi-
BILE.
The next matter laid before the Council
was the Budget and the Draft Of Ordinance
regulating the Salary etc. of the Superior
Administration, which, like the Draft of
Military Ordinance were submitted by
Governor Billie personally. On this occa-
sion it was that the difference between the
views and plans of Government and those
of the Public, which we have pointed out
IN former issues CAST in No, 81 of this pa
PERI showed itself plainly, as evinced both
in the Council by the remarks of several
members. and by communications to and
leaders in this paper. What gave offence
in that Budget was not merely the circum-
stance that it presented a deficit for the
next year Of upward of $4,000, for this
was after all more apparent, and produced
by repairs subsequently found unnecessary,
but it was made evident that we could no
more expect those thorough reforms need
ed and desired in our costly and ~circunIo-
cutory red-tape administration which have
so often been asked for and so often pro-
missed. 1t was but a poor consolation that
Governor Billie during the discussions ad-
vanced that if the island only made an ave-
rage yearly crop of 1,4O0 bids of sugar,
which was not an exaggerated demand,
then the expenses calculated could easily
be met and betrayed, thathe likewise held up
the significance Of the present cash-baIance,
partly produced by the exceptional crop
Of last year in short, people got the i'm
preston that he had been led by his advi-
sers in the wrong direction, and had been
