The Chairman explained how it had become
necessary, as the provision in the Colonial Law
concerning the contribution from the Colonies
to the Statetreasury expires on the 1st April
this year, and as the revision of the Colonial
Law could not be brought to an end before
then, in time to make new provisions in that
respect, We see from the letter that a Draft
of Law hal been introduced in the Diet to this
effect, that no contribution from either of the
Colonial Treasures should be paid for 2 years.
From the Committee that was appointed on this
Draft emanated, however, a new Draft, pro
viding that for the 2 coming years the Colonial
Treasures should pay a contribution Of $4,000
Crowns or S6250, each Treasury the half,
which amount exactly corresponds with the
amount which the d-AdminiStrati0n in CO.
Penhagen Of the Colonies costs, and which un-
til 2 years ago was paid by the Colonies. He
had learnt from the Newspapers that this pro-
posal was based on that view or principle, that
the Mothercountry, while it might not expect
any revenue from the Colonies, on the other
hand ought not to bear any direct expense for
their administration He should not wish al
present to call forth or encourage any discus
sion on this subject, but could not omit to make
this remark, that he could not admit that now
q days the principle that the Motheroountry
shall not incur expenses for the administration
Of her colonies holds good. Most European
Powers that have colonies in the West Indies
have to bear expenses for their colonies.
The Council proceeded to the Order of Day
viz
~ 1st Discussion on Draft Of Additional Grant
to the Budget for l874-75 for S270 sub O..
IL the Poor Department.
The Draft with remarks reads as follows
EXTRA MONEY-BILL
to the Budget for the Municipality of st. Oroix
for the Financial Year from lst April 1874 to
3Ist March 1875.
In addition to the Expenses under Item c.. 10.
the Poor Department, the following amounts
are hereby granted
l. For support in Money to Paupers, besides the
sum of $3.50 previously granted, an ad-
ditional sum of $500

the general State Expenses pursuant to the
Colonial Law OF 27th November 1868, mention
ed in the Ministry's letter Of 5th October last
year No. 154, had been subject to the prescrib-
ed constitutional treatment in the Diet, the
said Draft was adopted by the Diet, with this
alteration that Instead Of the clause contained
in the Draft providing that the two Colonial
Treasures shall for a term Of years common
cling from the lst of April 1875 be exempted
from paying any contribution, it should be
enacted thai the Colonial Treasures shall for the
same 2 financial years 1876 and 1876-77
defray towards the general State Expenses
$4,000 Crowns yearly, the half by each
Treasury.
In now informing the Government for its
own information and for further necessary
action, that the Law so passed by the Diet has
on the 21st December obtained Royal Sanction,
the Ministry would, in reference to the altera-
ton adopted by the Diet in the original Draft,
refer to the Report Of the Folkething as con.
tanned in the published Proceedings of the Diet
and to the discussions there"
In communicating the above for the informa-
ton of the Council, the Presidency would beg
TO state that the requisite sum for the said
contribution will be entered among the expen-
ditures on the Budget for the Financial Year
l875-76 ;-printed copies of the said Law will
be forwarded to the Council as soon as they
are received,

"The Budget Committee Of the Diet has
found it necessary to seek a series of elu-
citations about the transactions concern
ing the Reserve Fund and the Cash Bal
ance in the Treasury from the 1st of
January to the 31st December last year,
and these calculations have caused the ma
jority, consisting of 9 members, to state,
that they do not consider the Government
entitled to loan out the funds to the Colo
NAL Treasury OF st. Croix, without a
grant, as has been the case, a sum Of
$4,000 having been appropriated for
that purpose"

MARCH 10Th 1875.

On Sunday the 9TH inst, the body of
a female was found hanging ina tree among
the bushes on a hill in a solitary place
on the land of the Estate Lower Beth
lehem. It is now ascertained that the corpse
was that of a girl by the name of Dianah,
born on the Estate Work and Rest in
1860. On the goth of last month, being
apprehensive of punishment for having
torn her clothes in such a manner that she
was almost in a state of nudity, she left
her home at Work & Rest, as is supposed
to go to a sister who is living at Bethle-
hem, but hung herself before reaching
her destination or having spoken with
the sister.

A Manly Protest.

A committee of New York de-
mocracy is making vigorous effort
to free the party in that city and
State from the domination of the
Tammany organization. They pub
lish an address to the democratic
voters in which they declare, among
other things equally enormous,
Although the forms of nominations BY
conventions, pretended conventions, are
sometimes observed. no nomination for an
important office is, in fact, ever made by
the people through real convention, elect
ed by them, and without the direct :nterpo-
sition and dictation Of their party leaders.
The 10000 Democratic electors Of this city
are thus practically disfranchised. Under
the preteDce Of making assessments for elec-
ton expenses, candidates for Office are re-
quired to pay such enormous sums for their
nomination. that poor, though fit and pro-
per men. and even competent persons in
moderate pecuIiary circumstances, are pres
cluded from competition, the tax for nom
nation for an Office being in some instances
as high as eight, ten. and even fifteen thou
sand dollars. Even judgeskips are thus
bargained for and sold in the Tammany
market for $1,000 each. This list Of undem-
ocrat,c and wrongful management ght be
largely extended, but the interests Of the
Democratic party require US to forbear.
This is true, not only Of the DEM
ocratie party Of New York city, but
Of both parties every where through
out the country. The 7ammany
ring has its prototypes in every city ;
and those who control these rings
have no other political desires than
to aggrandize themselves. Nor can
their power be broken by reforms
within the party, for it is sufficient
to render nugatory all reformatory
efforts. The only way to defeat
them is to organize and support a
new party, with which they have no
connection, and for this reason the
Anti-Monopolists object to being
swallowed up by the democracy,
They want no coalition with these
powerful and corrupt rings.

lowing her around. In fact, he is
tending her," having usurped the
place of VIM. Lee, the regularly ap-
pointed cowherd. Just as soon as
she ZONES in" he'll seize a teat if
he can, but just then Lee and Rice
will be on hand and a collision may
be expected between their boot toes
and Mr.. Donnellys person. He is
useful to them now, and while he is
useful they will tolerate him; but
when the reward is ready they will
kick him aside and seize it them
selves, and our mistaken friend will
find himself on his hands and knees
in the mud.
The most Internal of nuisances
that publishers have to contend with
is the shower Of foreign propositions
to advertise and take pay in sew
ing machines, organs, watches, chro-
mos, spoons, books, church bells,
etc. Why will not publishers gen.
orally unite in refusing to pay heed
to these bores. Even If the articles
they offer are good for anything, the
propositions they make Away, in
volve the payment Of two or three
prices for them. Indeed, they al
ways want as much cash, besides the
advertising, as amounts to a good
price for the article sold.
The Hastings Union says there
is no more chance Of getting money
out Of the U. S. treasury, without
giving an equivalent therefor, than
there is of getting it out of a bank
or out Of any other persons posses
sion." Why, Todd, how you talk

-Donnelly says that Dick Jones
will "chaw up" Bub Wilson when
they meet in debate. We had not
supposed that the demi-reps had TAX
en- to cannibalism, though we knew
they were getting savage from hum
gering for public plumber.
The many friends of Hon.
Chas. D. Sherwood will regret to
learn that that gentleman is still SUI
ferlng from injuries received by an
accident on the Southern Minnesota
railroad in May last A letter from
a member Of his family, dated Sept.
18th, says that he is still under med
ical treatment and is not yet able to
write or to endure any excitement.
He will not be able to participate in
the political canvass this fall.
The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
for misgovernment, says the Demi-
Rep. platform, and Donnelly and
his echoes cry, Amen! This is not
true. The minority party is, also,
responsible for mismanagement, to
the extent that its members partici-
pate in the corrupt schemes, or fail
to prevent them. We undertake to
say that hardly corrupt measure
has been passed by congress, since
the close Of the war, that the Demo-
cratic minority in that body could
not have prevented had it been so
minded. That assertion Of the
Demi-Rep. platform is most untruth-
full and pernicious.
A democratic exchange says {:
SHOULD the republican party loose
the railroad influence in this State
they would be hopelessly defeated. "
We didn't know before that the re-
publicans had the railroad influence
tied mb, but we suppose this is a fig
urative expression, and means that
| if the republicans would let the DEM
ocratic leaders,. e. railroad inAu-
ence"--carry an election, the leaders
Of that party would kick out their
republican associates in the rings,
and never give them another smell
of public plumber: If such is the
case, the reps had better not "loose"
the demi-rcps. They might do mis-
chief.
Several years ago we were run
ming campaign paper in St. Paul,
when DR.. Foster was publishing the
"Minnesotlan" there. The doctor
one day proposed to us that we
should make it an especial feature
of our papers to abuse each other,
telling us that we might apply to
him any offensive epithet, except
one; the object being to attract
public attention to our papers. We
wonder if Blakely, Hall and Don
nelly have such an understanding
with each other now?
David Blakely attributes utter
ances Of nonsense by Donnelly and
ourself to emotional aphasia,
which he describes as singular
disorder, impelling its victims to cut
ter nonsense knowing it to be non
senee." David evidently hasn't got
the disease, for although he is con-
stantly uttering nonsense, he not
only does not know it, but has no
suspicion Of it.
The Hastings Union says that
"the railroads are charged with
spending large sums to control the
Kentucky elections recently held.
The investment paid badly, as the
state increased its Democratic ma
jority." Not at all, Todd; the
leading Democrats in this State,
you know, are mainly railroad men
and it is, no doubt, the same in Ken
lucky

defeat, by the House 90 Monday, oftheir caucus
action oil Saturd ~ night. There was ,olera

but uumber left the caucus before there Was

several declaring they would not De bound BY
caucus action.
The Washington Chronicle says 1.-The
main poiut settled WAS the determination on
the part Of the maj 'riy to control Legislation.
With this view Geuera Butler will report from

feat its consideration by dilatory motions, then

and no lack Of endurance.
