The Committee to whom the petition of
the West India and Panama Telegraph Com
pany praying that their subsidy be remedied
as from the lst April, 1874, was referred, had
reported that, subject to certain conditions, the
claim of the Company to a subsidy for ten
years from the 1st January 1875, deserved
the favourable consideration of the Govern.
Enent. The Committee, in reporting on the
matter, thus remarks,-
"In view of the frequent interruptions to
communication with the Islands, America, and
Europe, so often attributable to the imperfec-
lions of the overland line at Trinidad, the
Committee are disposed to attach more than
ordinary Importance to the completion OF the
connection with Europe by the Western Brazil
ian and Brazilian Submarine Companies lines.
1t Is true there is a promise of connection with
the former, by the line which has been laid to
Para, but, seeing that this line has not been
handed over to the West India and Panama
Company, according to contract, we must
suppose that there is a substantial reason tor
the delay and the Committee think that His
Excellency the Governor and the HONORABLE
the Court of Policy are entitled to positive as
suranoe as to this matter of the line to Para,
and as to the other, of the future efficiency Of
the overland line at Trinidad
1t is quite out Of the question that this Colo
ny should be called upon to interfere between
the West India and Panama Company and the
Islands which do not pay the subsidy. The
payment of a subsidy by British Guiana clear
ly involves its intercOlonial communioa-
ton as a condition which cannot be surrender
ed but, in framing a new Ordinance, this Cow
eminent should be careful to exclude anything
that seems to imply on the part of The Com
pany an engagement to send bulletins of news
to non.paying Islands.
A regular report of the arrival of the Royal
Mail Steamers at st. Thomas, of their arriva
at, and departure from, intermediate ports, and
of the passengers coming to this Colony,
would be highly appreciated. At present this
information is very irregularly given, and not
unfrequently omitted altogether.
The Committee append an amended form Of
advice as to the New York and London Mar
kets, prepared and agreed to by the mercantile
gentlemen of Water Street which form, it is
suggested, should stand in place of the present
one, in the bulletin of daily news.

The manufacture OF sugar is the all engrossing
topic # the day and as the sugar crop Of 1875
promises to be the largest known, it is not won
derfuI that great interest is felt in respect to it.
And although the price of sugar is exceedingly
low, and sufficient to dishearten the proprietors,
yet there is a degree of compensation n the
extraordinary yield of the canes. Those who
are able to avail themselves of the appliances
of steam are pushing on with great rapidly,
and will soon complete their work whilst the
wind mills are subjected to the caprice of the
weather, and are as tardy as ever in their oper-
atoms. 1t is estimated that about one half Of
the crop is already shipped, and if we are to
judge from the numerous waggon-loads coming,
into town, from every direction, during the day
from early dawn, it is easy to determine that
the crop of the present year will soon be among
the things of the past.

put q question to the Secretary of State for
the Colonies as to the conditions under
which the power of granting pardon is in
future to be exercised by the governors of
those colonies in which the form of gov
eminent referred to above obtains. Lord
Ii gar confessed that he was ia favour of
retaining the responsibility Of the colonial
governors IN cases Of pardon, but added
that during the time he was governor of
New South Wales he always consulted the
Colonial Secretary and Attorney-Genera
before exercising his ~prerogative. The
Earl OF CarnarVOn explained that in a cir
cular which he had issued he had expressly
laid 1t down that, while in the exercise of
the p%rerogative of pardon a governor could
not relieve himself Of the Judging of the
proprlety Gifts exercise in every case, he
Was at the same time bound to pay the
most careful attention to the advice of the
Colonial Ministers. The governor of a
colony used bis own Judgment, but if he
acted Improperly the Crown could punish
him, and not the Colonial Parliament, who
could dismiss or punish their Colonial
Ministry. In Australia they could not
transport criminals, they could, however,
exile them but the aourishing communi-
ties OF Australia objected to that course
OF law, and the Governments a. those
colonies had expressed a desire to repeal it.
The Earl Of Kimberley pointed out that
the exercise of the prerogative Of pardon
by the governors of colonies was the most
delicate portion Cfthrir duties. The pxer~
else OF that prerogative was not perhaps at
all times logical, but it had grown up and
had adjusted itseIffrom the exercise of the
good and sound sense which was exhibited
by their countrymen in the colonies. He
was glad that the question had been
brought before the House, and he felt
satisfied that his noble friend (the Earl Of
Carnarvon) had stated the rule which the
governors acted upon correctly. After %
lew words from the Earl Of BeImore,
the subject dropped.

The Gazette saws :

The Gazette says:
''The writer of the letter signed HOMO which
appeared in the Chronicle of the 23rd ultimo.
tells hard truth when he says that there Is
no public opinion here, but in doing 50, he in
ficts no fresh wound on our MANNED political
system. In discussing the measures of Gov
ernment, it would be We'll always to bear in
inind that We are a Grown Colony, and that
the gentleman who, for the time being, may be
administering its affairs under Her Maiesty's
appointment, is in no way responsible for our
stale of bondage. A Governor, with a Repre-.
sentative Assembly at his back to help on in
the work of legislation, is relieved, if not of the
responsibility, at least of much of the odium
which attaches to unpopular measures. His
fist care is to ascertain the wishes of those
over whom he is placed, which he is able to do
from their representatives, and to act on their

Telegraph Works Company came before
the Lords Just ces on April 81 on an ap-
peal from decision Of Vice. hancellor

aside an agreement entered into 10 Janu-
airy, 1870, between the two companies,
whereby the hitter agreed to make and
lay for the former a submarioe cable

obtain The repayment to the plaintiffs Of

The abolition Of The duties gave an i'm
portant stimulus to the demand for sugar,
%treacIe, and moIasses, for cattle-feediug,
but the high price Of the latter has pre-
vented its beng used to the extent which
would otherwise have been the case.
Indead q, the quantity of moIasses imported
has been SO small, and the export demand
for %reiners' treacle SO large, that prices
during the past winter have been nearly
25 per cent. above those Of 1874 in spite
of the abolition of duty, and many farmers
consequently found it cheaper to use sugar.
1T, however, beet molasses, which can be
procured at about half the price at which
the commonpst sugar is sold, could be
utilized, it is considered certain that an
immense quantity would be used for cat
tle-feeding.

it has Its origin. Damascus is repre-,

hundred cases reported daily with an
unknown number concealed, and peo-
pie dying in the streets. Such visi-

must be regarded as an inevitable ca

Hartland.
In the AGE of last week was an
item signed NJ Quad, asking where
that Hartland correspondent is, that
tells about the big fleeces of wool,
and then he asks, is he dead? To
Quad we say as the old chap did when
told that there was maggots in the
cheese. Oh, says friend, 'just see
them wiggle Let them wiggle, by
4hunder, said the old chap fiiling his
mouth with cheese) I can stand it as
long as they cm," Let M. Quad of
Taltsville wlgge, for we can stand it
as long az he can.
The Journal of last week tells a
big story about game Of base ball
played, between the Norwich club and
the Modocs of Hartland, which is a
mistake. There IS no club in town OF
the name Of Modocs, neither has any
club in town played with the Norwich
club.
Mr. James o. Eddy is fast i'm
proving. 1t is thought that he will
soon be out, and able to look after his
business himself.
"A base ball club was organized
here a week ago last Saturday. Last
Saturday they played game with the
"Young Grasshoppers."
We understand that Mr.. Eddy
will keep along with his business if
he comes out all right, His physi-
clan, DR.. S. J. Allen, thinks that he
will soon be all right again, and sound
in mind as ever.

The PAST AND THE PRESENT The
LONG BRANCH ADMINISTRATIONS
There have been many changes in the
mode of administering our government
in the past dozen years, and many Of
these changes most thoughtful persons
will not think are for the better.
Once it was thought worth while to
have dignity in the White House aud
something of elevated decorum in the
conduct of officials who are prominent
ly before the eyes of the country and
the world. But this has become ap
paranlly of no account. 1t has ceased
even TO excite remark land if not gen.
orally approved, is certainly not gener-
ally and openly condemned.
Perhaps there is one thing that bet
ter typihes the general change in the
tone aud character the federal admin
istration-some call it decentralization,
debasement, and some profess to think
it improvement--than the summer re-
moval # the seat OF government from
the National Capital to Long Branch
the seat of fashionable frivolity, horse
racing and dram drinking. Imagine
Washington, Adams, Jefferson CT
Madison acting as Grant does, and
then you can appreciate the change
that has taken place. There are cas-
ses of people who think the change a
great Improvement, and who delight
in having the highest officer of the
government, with his family, to give
conntenance to them by presence aud
participation but are these the wiSest
citizens ard is the example really
such the people should approve and
encourage Let every person careful
J consider, and then seriously answer
to himself whether he approves Long
Branch administration
