THE "AVIS."
GHA1ST1ATST&8. ST. CROCK,
"Wednesday, .4ugust 18Th 1875.

The Colonial Council held az extraordi-
nary meeting On Monday. The Chairman
notified the receipt of several c%ommunica-
tons from the Presidency, viz. one con-
corning His Majesty's sanction to the
appointment of Messrs. WiIlemoes and
Hvid another concerning His Maiesty's
sanction to the Ordinance about Pension
to Z. MonefeIdt, and one transmitting
the Communal Accounts for IS73-74,
which latter subject will form an item on
the order OF day for a future meeting Of
the Council.
The Order Of Day was:
1, list discussion on Draft Of Ordinance
authorizing the Government to raise a
loan for the Colonial Treasury to meet
Bureau Advances to planters.
The President made a few remarks, and
the Draft passed unanimously to second
Discussion.
2, 3rd discussion on Draft Of Ordinance
concerning Rnmshops in St. Croix.
An amendment was introduced by the
Presidency, purporting that the date
on which the Ordinance is to come in
force, be altered from 1st January 1878
" ISL june 1919 WIliCn dIIlCIu-
ment, as the President stated, was
owing to the fact Of the Rum Licenses
having been issued on the 23rd of
May a C, and, consequently, will
not expire before 23rd May 1878, so
that the ordinance could not come in
force until after that date, if no ar
rangement could be arrived at with
the License-holders to continue the
remaining part of the term of their
licenses under the conditions provid-
cd in the new Ordinance.
The Chairman said it should be under
stood that no Rum License will be issued
or renewed, except with the reservation
that the holders should be subject to the
Few Ordinance. The amendment was
adopted unanimously, and the Draft SO
amended likewise unanimously.
3, 1st Discussion on Draft of Money
Bill for $27O under the Sanitary De-
partment for training a Midwife.
The President explained the proposal,
and dweIt upon the advantage to be de-
rived from having an additional practition-
er whereby a long-felt want would be
relieved. After a few short remarks by
Mr.. WiIlemoes, the Draft passed to second
reading.
The Council resolved unanimously, at
the request Of the Presidency, to proceed
to the second reading of the Loan Draft.
No amendment was proposed, and the
Draft passed mem. con. to Bird reading,
which the Council also completed in
this meeting, and the Draft was adopted
unanimously, and goes now to the Presi-
dency.
The day for the Councils next meeting
is the 9Th September next,

THE STATE HOUSE.

The dispensation of patronage Just at
this time continues to make the Governors
OfIice lively place. very large number
tween the final cons ummation Of adjust
mant and the work of satisfying the
demands for office the Governor seemed to
have his hands full of business. Until the
assembling of the General Assembly at
twelve o'clock NJ, the Governors office
was in fact the chief point Of attraction in
the State House. But after that time the
House of Representa- tives and the Senate
chamber became centres of attraction,
greater even than the ex ecutive depart
ment for the time being.
In the House, the election OF officers to
complete its new organization rendered the
bill Of performance there very attractive
one. 1t was known that the new Speaker
would announce the new committees, a
matter in which it was thought members of
the Legislature and men of all parties felt an
equal interest, from the fact that the recent
election of Speaker had been effected by
a coalition of parties. 1t was also known
that the House had determined to complete
its organization yesterday, and as it had
been reported that the Republicans were
counting on electing Republican clerk
and the Democrats were preparing to elect
Democrat to that position and every other
one to be filed, it is hardly necessary to
say, for the information of the public,
that there was crowded audience in
the lobby Of the House to witness the
exciting performances. The announcemt nt
of the committees was not source Of
amusement to Republicans, it is said; while
the Democrats seemed hugely pleased at
the selection of committeeman. The elec-
ton Of Trezevant as chief clerk. Arroyo as
assistant clerk, and Flood as sergeant-at
arms proved a most pleasing as we'll as ex-
citing atserpiece to the Conservative Demo
Gratis, while Republicans seemed unable to
see where the laugh came in. Recollecting
that it was not ordained that all men should
see alike, they wisely concluded that it was
best to let the Conservatives enjoy their
fun; the Republicans consoling themselves
with the recollection Of the old adage
that he who laughs last laughs best.
But, seriously speaking, let US hope
that the new organization of the House
may prove q strong card in the car
rying out OF the adjustment, and that as
consequence Louisiana will be blessed with
peace and prosperity from this time for
ward to the end of time.
In the Senate yesterday the iuishing
stroke was given to adjustment. Senator
Crozier resigned his seat, thus making
room for Mr.. Goode and paving the way for
the final consumm alton Of the work laid
out to restore Louisiana to condition OF
peace. The adoption of the award by the
Senate and the seating of Mr.. Goode ends
the work of adjustment so far as Repub-
licans are concerned. 1t now remains to be
seen whether peace and prosperity will in
reality be the fruits of that work.
Governor Kellogg was on the floor of the
Senate a considerable length of time while
adjustment was being considered, and, no
doubt exerted his influence in favor of its
final adoption by that body.
