10000 members, distributed among 43 confer

all the other drafts promised for the reOr-
gauization of nearly all the branches OF Our
public polity will, we presume, come up
after the Colonial Law.
Whatever the year 1878 may have in
store for us in this Island, one thing at
least we confidently hope it will bring,
namely, stability in al our public affairs.
The best interests of the Island have in the
two past years been but sOrrily served
under the uncertainty that has prevailed in
the public polity of the Island, and we do
not hesit tie to express this general %conyic-
ton that that is mainly owing to unsound
and one-sided Administration first and
foremost the objectionable blunder of hav-
ing the seat of Government finally removed,
without, as it appears, the Administration
having any clear perception of the conse-
queuces thereof and of the financial ar
rlngements required, Instead Of first sub
hitting The revised Colonial Law and get
ting the Administrative Organization neces-
sary for this Island settled beforehand. 1t
is a public secret, that Governor Bille's
views of matters and things here, and his
plan Of operation were to a very material
extent modified and influenced, in most III
stances not by the untrammelled and we'll
considered views of enlightened men in the
community, but by the one-sided and anti
quateI ideas and notions of persons who
make the public veal subservient to their
own personal desires and the interests of
themselves and theirs. We hope that one
of the first gifts of'73 will be the removal of
the opportunity for the exercise of that I'M
wholesome influence latter which we may
yet hope tor better times. The people are
anxiously waiting for something really
good and beneficial to be achieved out Of
the many things that are to be done; they
have placed their confidence in Governor
Garde, and they hope to see him often
among them in order that he may render
himself personally and Independently con-
versant with the affairs of the Island /; we
are sure he will find it no unpleasant task,
and no insurmountable labour to govern
these Islands.
, 1873-01-04

that it will never come to that the idea
of two or three islands not being able to
be together is too Iudicrous 10 be possible.
But it isl devoutly cherished hope and cx-
pectation Of our people that the establish
mcnt of Steam Communication, and event
ually Photographic Communication, will be
the Corner Stone for the only suitable Adj
ministrative Organization here, viz. with an
Administrator of Government acting In be-
halt of the Chief Governor in ST. Thomas.
The Labour Question has been thorough
ly discussed by a Commission, but the
changes proposed in the present Labour
Act are not of sVch a nature as to afford
attraction for the surplus labour-torce that
might be found in the towns, although
these changes are important in themselves,
particularly in the enactment about task
work. 1t is altogether doubtful whether any
changes whatever would elicit any such
increase of labour,force from the towns,
there being in their populations a decided
aversion to field work, such as is eXacted
in the country, a feature, by the way, not
peculiar to our people. 1t is especially
here that the Central Factories, also from
this point of view, would be of enormous
benefit, as they could employ many Of the
idle hands in the towns.
In School Matters nothing has been done
since the appointment OF the Inspector,
except that, according to rumour, the
drafts for the reorganization of all the
schools are being prepared. These mat
ters seem to have been put off for better
times, that is, till the question of our flu
ture administration has been decided on
before that, it seems impossible to bestow
much consideration on any thing else. AS
we nave said from the beginning, the Co.
lonial Law ought first and foremost to have
been discussed and revised, and under that
the Administration-questio would have
found its natural settlement. 1t was how
ever ordained otherwise, and the result has
been what we see. A Draft of a revision
of that law. has been sometime before the
Council, and a Committee has reported
upon it. The Drafts on the schools and

NOTHING GREAT BUT GcD.-When Massi-
lion pronounced one Of those discotrses
which have placed him in the first class OF
orators he found himself surrounded by the
trappings and paseants of royal funeral.
The temple was not only hung with sable
but Swallowed with darkness, save the few
twinkIing lights Oh the altar. The beauty
and the chivalry of the land were spread out
before him. The censers threw ont their
fumes Of incense, mounting 10 wreaths TO
the gilded dome. There sat Majesty clothed
in sackclotb and sunk in grief. All ielt IN
common and as one. 1t was breathless
suspense. Not a sound stole upon the awful
stiffness. The master OF mighty eloquence
arose. His bands were folded on his breast !;
bis eyes were lifted 10 Heaven. Uttcrance
seemed denied to him. LIE stood distracted
and lost. At length his fixed look unbeut-
it hurried over the scene, where every pomp
was mingled and every trophy streva. II
found no re.ting-place for itself amidst
ull that idle parade and all that mockin2
vanity.
Again it settled it had fastened upon the
bier, glitteriug with escuteheons and yelled
with plumes. 4 sense of the indescrihabe
nolhlngness Of man cat lis best estate" OF
the rucanness Of the highest human gran
deur, now made plain in the spectacle oil
that hearsed mortal, oycrcama him. His eyes
once more closed, his action was suspended,
and in scarcely audible whisper be broke
the long-drawn pause: "Ihere is nothing
great but God."-Sarnaon ~ DR.. Hamilton.
