great fraud in the paper furnished to

That paper costs just twice as much as
it is worth IN the market. Its makers
pretend that it is safe against counter

THE priests who died of yellow fever
in Memphis are to have a fine monu-
ment erected to their memory. Five
of them lie side-by-side in Calvary
Cemetery, and as yet, there is nothing
to show, when or how these martyrs of
humanity died. While living, they did
not swerve from their duty, but nobly
faced the danger, ministering to the
wants of the sick ans dying, until they
had finally to succumb to the fell de-
stroyer 1t is eminently proper that
their deeds should be kept green in the
memory OF their countrymen.

ANTI.LIQTOR LEGIsLATION.

A bill Just passed by both houses OF
the Missouri Legislature, on the sub
iect of selling liquor to minors and in
ebriates, deserves to be classed with
the other severe ant-Equor enactments
of this country, the features of which
are stated by the st. Louis Republican
as follows: at provides that the sell
ing or giving intoxicating liquor to any
minor OF habitual drunkard, after warn
ing from the wife, parent, brother, SIS
ter or guardian, shall be an Ofense
punishable with a fine Of not less than
$40. nor more than $500, and forfeiture
of license. If the clerk or agent of
druggist. merchant or dram-shop keeper
shall violate the law, IL viii be held a
violation by his employer, and the PEN
atty be inflicted on the latter. The ef-
feet of this law, and of the other simi-
lar acts in practice in Ohio and Hi
nois, is to throw the responsibility on
the sellers of liquor instead of the
drinkers. 1t gives to the immediate
relations Of minors and inebriates very
large control over the subject"

The Chairman explained the origiu of the

dressing the Government to lay before the

ces to remodel, reorganiza and simplify all
branches Of the Administration, as we'll as the
system of taxation, in order to be able to reduce
the taxes. was put under discussion first.
lst Member for Frederiksted (SarauwI said
that although the Budget Committee did NOS
exist any longer, he as Spokesman of that
Committee would, however, beg to introduce
this proposal. The explanation thereof was
quite simple: The Government aud the In
habitants have both long felt that the expenses
of the Administration are too heavy and moro
than tho Community can pay also that the
taxation is much too heavy for the taxpayers;
the Committee now begs that the promises
given not only by the local Government but
also by the Home Government that proposals
would be brought in for remodelling and reor-
ganizing the Administration as we'll as the
system of taxation, should be now carried into
effect and Drafts submitted as soon as possible
to the Council.
The President stated that he had very little

publishing a nautical almanac, in
stead of $4,000, and increases the
appropriation for the equipment of
vessels, from Sl,1O0,000 to 81, $50, 600;
that for provisions for officers, seameD.
and marines, is increased from 81, 300, eco
to 81, 1852, 800; that for repairs and preser-
walton Of boilers and machinery is in
creased from 81 ,500,0 900 to 81, 1865, 900;
the contingent expenses of the naval
academy are fixed at S46, 800 instead of
$50, 600. The bill also provides that the
office of cOmmandant of the marine
corps, having the rank of brig
adier-general of the army, shall
continue until a vacancy shall oc-
cur in the same, and no longer; aud
when such vacancy shall occur in said
Office, Immediately thereupon all laws
and parts of laws creating said office
shall become imperative and be re-
pealed. 1t provides, further, that here
after the cOmmandant of that corps
shall have the rank and pay of colonel,
and be appointed by selection, made by
the President, from the officers of said
corps. Twenty thousand dollars are
also appropriated by congress for
the contingent expenses of the marine
corps instead of fifteen. The bill now
goes backs TO the house for that body TO
concur in the senate's amendments.
Senator Scott moved that the senate
proceed to the consideration of the GEN.
tennial bill.
Senator Sumner said that several of
the senators interested in that bill had
left the chamber, supposing the naval
bill would occupy all day. He suggested
thatifit be taken up, it be laid aside until
after the morning hour tomorrow. The
suggestion was accepted and the bill
taken up, but laid over until that time.
The bill to provide for the appoint
ment of commissioner in regard to the
alcoholic liquor traffic, was taken up,
the question being on the amendment
of Senator Morrill, Me. !, appropriating
ten thousand dollars to defray the ex-
penses of the commissioner.
Senator Flanagan favored the bill.
He believed the use of alcoholic liquors
was the cause of the late split between
the north and the south.
Pending the discussion, Senator Thur
man moved that the senate proceed to
the consideration of the executive busi-
ness.
Senator West, from the COM
mittee on appropriations, report
ed an army appropriation bill,
which was ordered to be laid on the ta-
bic, and printed. The bill, as reported
from the senate committee, makes a
reduction of three hundred and fifty
thousand dollars in the appropriations
for the regular supplies and incidental
expenses of the quartermaster's depart
ment, and of two hundred and eighteen
thousand dollars in sundry other items.
The clause limiting the allowance for
travelling expenses to ten cents per mile
is stricken out.
Senator Thurman's motion to proceed
to the consideration of executive busi-
ness was then adopted, and the senate
went into executive session, and soon
after adjourned.
