T. G. Briggs referred. but the object
of putting it on was to enable the
Council to abolish the export duty ON
sugar and rum. In the course of last
year the Treasury had become hopelessly
bankrupt. With respect to the present stats
of the country be would read an extract from
q letter he had received some time since from
a gentleman in a high position, the statements
OF which could be relied on. 1t was dated
10th September =
81 c~andidly confess l an heartily sick Of
and sorry for St. kits, I fear she has come
to grief and unless some great change takes
place very soon, I don't think property here
will be worth holding, l shall take very good
care to get out ofit, as soon as l can, but
1t is very grievous to think that q place that
has been so prosperous and has still the ele.
ments of prosperity in it should be SO crippled.
You ask me to give you what is the difference
OF the Public expenditure here before and after
Federation. | find that the permanent staff
before Federation cost Sc, 800 and now it
has gone up to eG3, 1862, this Of course includes
two pensioners whose pensions we're given
them to make room for others. l find also
that on the passing of Federation there was
an available balance of &l5,0 900 in the Trea-
sury over and above the current revenue, and
now there is not a shilling, and the Legislature
has just been forced to pass an Act to sanction
the Government borrowing $4,000, to pay the
public Officers and an Act is to be introduced
to impose additional Taxes. Rum for Island
consumption has since been taxed So. Cd. per
gallon l have been o member of the Legis-
lature for a quarter OF a century. And this is
the first time | have ever known St. Kits
raising a loan, in fact / believe it is the first
time on record. Alas so much for Federation.
And St. Kits should be a warning to every
other island. But though the additional cost
is so serious there is another thing far worse.
and that is the utter confusion into which every
thing is thrown, and the insufficiency of the
service, but all this you know as we'll as do"

IN A.
From tie Antigua Times

From the Antigua I1neS.)
The legislative machinery Of this island has
frequently within the last 30 or 80 years, been
employed to provide for the better support Of
" natural children, and afford facilities for oblig-
" ing the ~putative fathers to assist in the
maintenance of such children" The ma.
chinery so employed has never yet, during the
many years of trial, been found to ''afford facili-
ties" whereby the ''putative" fathers can actu.
ally be compelled to maintain their illegitimat6
offspring.
The Act No. 5 of 1875 is the last attempt to
make provision for the support of natural chill
dren; it begins by saying that it is expedient
to make provision for the better support of nat
ural children and afford facilities for obliging
one of he parents OF the unfortunate children,
so born, to assist in their maintenance.
The very first clause of that same Act No.
S of 1875, as it has been published, reads az
follows S.
"Any woman who may be delivered of
bastard child after the passing of this Act, or
who has been delivered Of a bastard child with
in the period of six calendar months before the
passing Of this Act, and who shall be unable to
support such child, may, al any time within
twelve calendar months from the birtn Of such
child or any time thereafter, upon proof that
tho man alleged to ba the father of such child
has, within twelve months next after the birth
of such child. paid money for it's maintenance,
make application to the Magistrate for the Dis
trict in which he resides for a summons to be
served ON the man alleged by her to be the
father of such child and such Magistrate shall
thereupon issue his ms to the person al.
legged to be the father of such child to appear
before him at a Petty Session to be holden after
the expiration of six clear days at least from
date of such summons."
It will be noticed that the weight of the
obligation imposed Upon p~utativo fathers rests
upon proof that the man alleged to Be the father
of such child, has withinstwelvet months nexs
after the birth of such child, paid..mOneyJor ihs
mathematics. Is follows that the father who
has not i" paid, money " within twelve months
towards the maintenance of the child, 10
exempted from any further responsibility, as the
lawyers would say" 10 respect thereof" This
very first cladse almost renders The whole Act
null and ineffective; in our opinion it rather
encourages the evil it seeks to abate than oblige
"Putative fathers to submit to the pains q: PEN
alties which follow ia the subsequent clauses;
The p~utative fathers in:many instances will take
care to conform to the requirements of clause
No. /, and will never allow any proof to be
brought forward that they ever paid q penny
towards the maintenance of their natural of.
spring. !.
We have take notice of this, seemingly
imperfect, legislation in order that the papvision
Of the Act referred to. may receive furthee

South Branch intelligencer. [volume] (Romney, Va. [W. Va.]) 1830-1896, 1875-05-07

Foe the last few years few men In
Congress were moro decided in their
hostility TO the South. by votss and
speech. than Judge wm. u. Kelley, Of
Philadelphia. He had no confidence In
the oft-repcated statements or the news
papers Of the South. and OF her states.
mon. that all the South wanted was
peace; and to this end inplorcd. and
plead against all Fedora. interference
with her domestic affairs by the Presi-
dent or by Congress.
Judge Kelley has, since Congress al.
jonrned, been spending his time i'm vari.
ous States ofthe South, visiting Charles
ton. Columbia, Savannah, Atlanta. Au.
gusts, &C., 10.
Since his return to Washington lie
bears the most emphatic testimony a.
gainst the Southern policy or his own
party in the last Congress. A CORES
pendent OF the Tribune says that when
asked what lie thought OF the political
condition of the south, he nsed these
words: 1.-The vote most regret, dur.
ing my Il years service in Congress, is
that which cast last winter in favor of
the Force BILL" he further said that so
Far ms his observation went during his
extended tour, there was no more neces-
sity for the use of Federal military force
than there is in Pennsylvania or Ohio
He talked with Confederate soldiers.
with Northern men. negroes, carpet-bag-
gers, and travellers, and he was surpris-
ed at the good feeling existing. lie
said he should hereafter take little stock
in Southern. outrages. especially If they
are reported as occurring in the sections
he visited.
He was in Augusta on the day chosen
for the decoration OF the graves Of the
Confederate soldiers. The music was
by band belonging to regular United
States infantry regiment stationed in
the vicinity. There were no taun,s, no
insults, no complaints, no appearance OF
ill feeling anywhere visible.
He says, so far as he saw-and he
went with his eyes and ears open-there
was no feeling of fear or distrust on the
part Of the colored people, and he could
not fer the life OF him see what use there
Was for force bills. lie was very glad to
have made the trip, for it has enabled
him to understand the. condition of the
South better than he has ever under
stco it before.
Judge kclley's conversion to the peace
policy has been brought about by pro-
cess which We cannot but think would
effect the same result upon the mind of
any conscientious legislator; namely, o
visit to the South, and careful study
of the temper OF the people, aud the
causes Of depression and dependence.
