RESULT OF THE FAIR TRIA. The Chi
cago Times says it is strong statement
to say that nothing more infamous and
deplorable than this result has been
achieved by an American jury for many
years, but the circumstances warrant
the expression. It would certainly be
an interesting subject of inquiry what
could be the mental and moral constitu-
ton of twelve men who agreed upon
this verdict, and the motives or ratioci-
nation by which they are led TO it.

lance for other purposes the Colony might
need Now, Mr.. Editor, the facts of the case
is that The result Of the deliberations of said
Committee may be thus summed up there is no
necessity for abandoning the stand point Of the
Colonial Law, and the carrying out Of the inan-
ciaI arrangements on which that law rests,
which can hardly be said to have been serious
ly attempted the Committee cannot see that
it should not be possible 10 reduce our expenses
so as to bring them, at least approximately
to what they are in the English islands, Antigua
and ST. Kits.
The members of that Rigsdags Committee
were evidently made Of good stuff. AT the end
Of their deliberations, which lasted for several
months, they seem to have known more about
us than our reformers do; but then, they wero
interested in knowing the truth they spoke
the same language as your paper, Mr.. Editor.
If we reduce the expenses OF our adminiStra ion
to an amount of $4,000 p. a, or show how it
can be done, which would bring our taxation to
that of the aforementioned English Islands,
the state-treasury might be willing to contri-
butte for ONE years to the carrying out of mea-
sures tending to further the interest of the moth

among which measures they have, by way of
example, mentioned a submarine telegraph

rally expected our interests would be just as
well served with a Superior Magistrate alone
But should he be independent Of the Governor
of st. Thomas, which the Speaker is against, on
dependent upon him, and then certainly we
ought to pay for his services, whether it be q
financial sacrifice to US 0. not: it will be our
business to see to that.
1T is unfortunate that tbo financial ADJUST
ments had not been made before the Royal Re

since that the arrangement will be difficult, all
the more as not a voice has been heard in the
Colonial Council Of st. Thomas, to show that
it was but just and reasonable that when they
there got the benefit of the Chief Administration,
we here should not be the sufferers by their
gain There is the rub, Mr.. Editor somebody
has made a huge blunder; but the Speaker OF
the Committee has a remedy for every thing
if we are unwilling to pay for keeping up cir
cumlocution and red tape in our little nut

bawl as loud as St. Thomas did, and that trta-

THE ADMINISTRATION OF ST. CROIX

LIE ADMINS IRAIION Ot l. CROIA
The above theme is just now, naturally
enough, agitating the public mind, and is set
ting the Colonial Council doubling and heSila-
ting and confused.-rhis also is natural enough
when we consider the composition of the G un-
Gil, and the very little knowledge its members
with 2 or 3 exceptions can have of Statecraft,
dmJnistration-princip and the like abstract
theories. The few members who possess this
knowledge, are furctionaries, linked in with the
Government, and their view of the matter may
be said to be Influenced by this position and by
their craving for yet higher Offices they all
have their own fish to fry, and they look out
for their Owl concerns.
with regard 10 the future administration OF
this Island, three problems present themselves
for s LUTON, one Of which must be chosen, viz.
the plan of the Government for a Presidency
here the plan once submitted in the Avis for a
Governments Independent of the St. Thomas
Government, and lastly, Il Governor residing at
St. Thomas exercising his functions here by a
Secretary,
The LIST plan, a President here subordinate
TO the Governor in st. Thomas, is tue worst of
all it introduces for US a double Government,
while St. Thomas has a single one, and, as q
matter of course, no end of circumlocution and
unnecessary expense and delays in all matters
and buSlness.-1he End plan IS rather p~refera-
BILE, as it s~impliies the administration and is
not more costly than the 1st plan.-Nor will it,
as Mr.. RosenStand said in the Council, sever the
connection between the 2 Islands, except lust
in the way it should sever it, namely in respect
of the administrator all other matte $ W uli,
Of course, remain as they are.-But, the 3a
plan has undoubtedly the greatest ALVIN ages
for us.-It is efficient, cheap, devoid o. en-
cumlocution as of needless delays, and let US
add, it is eminently practical. The observation
quoted by Governor Billie from one of our
wisest men in the Island, that we should in
such event have 2 or 8 or more Governors, is an
s~bsurdity and nothing mors.

the two principal islands. It would carry me
too far to enter upon other points of this very
interesting Rigsdags Report, t. l. the regret
expressed at the state of our abour-regulations,
schools etc. &c. My present object was only
to show whether there be- any foundation for
the hope expressed by the honorable speaker
that the Diet will come to the conclusion to de-
fray a portion Of our circumlocution expenses.

THE CANADIAN FISHERIES QUESTION.
Instructions Based ON tho Washingtea Treaty
20 United states Fishermen.

Instructions Based ON the Washingtoa Treaty
20 United states Flshermeu.
WASHINGTON, March Q, 1871.
The Secretary OF the Treasury has issued circu-
lar to Collectors OF Customs informing them that g
the season for fishing on the coast OF the British
American possessions N our Vicinity is approaching
1t is considered important that the fishermen OF
the United States intending to pursue their busi.
ness in the vicinity mentioned should be thoroughly
acquainted with the laws and regulations
governing the matter, to avoid the loss OF
their vessels and the penalties for encroacn.
ments by foreigners upon the inshore fisheries
OF canada. The Collectors are therefore directed
to notify such fishermen that the provisions Of tho
treaty with Great Britain, proclaimed July 1871,
relating to the nsneries viii not 60 into eecs untal
the laws required to carry them into operation
have been passed by Congress, the Pariaments OF
Great Britain and Canada the Legislature OF Prince
Edward Island and't0 warn them that their busi-
ness must be carried subject to the restrictions
existing at the ratification OF the treaty. The cir
cular states that fishermen Of the United States
are prohibited from the use of tnsnore fisheries.
They may however, take fish on the southern
coast OF Newfoundland from Cape Ray to the
Ramean Islands, and on the western and northern
coast from Cape Ray TO the Quripon Islands. the
shores OF the Magdalen Islands, on the coasts from
Mount Folly to and through the Straits OF Belle Ise
ana thence northwardly, but without prejudice to
any exclusive rights Of the Hudson Bay Company.
They may dry ana cure fish on any part OF the
southern coast Of Newfoundland above described
and OF the coast Of Labrador not settled. II set
tied there must be Q previous agreement with
the inhabitants. They may also enter any bay
or harbor for the purpose Of shelter repairing
damages, purchasing wood or obtaining water.
British officers may 60 on board any foreign
vessel in any within three miles Of the coast OF
Canada, and stay as long as she may remain; and
they may examine the master under oath, and, If 1t
be found that she has been fishing In the waters
prohibited such 0ficer or officers may seize her
without warrant and proceed for forfeiture Of the
vessel, cargo and stores. Any person opposing tho
oficer will subject himself to fine Of $500 and I'M
| prisonment for term not exceeding two years.
The Secretary states there Is reason to apprenend
that the Canadian authorities will equip armed YES
sells to protect their inshore fisheries during inc
season Of 1872.
