tee, and partly to circumstances that have
taken place in the Committee itself.
1t will be remembered that the Draft'of
Budget with appertaining Money Bills were
submitted to the Council under very trying
circumstances. Not only did the Draft show
a deficit, which there was no prospect of get
ting covered, and there was no longer any
cash in the Treasury to fall back upon, SO that
it was even uncertain, how the Administration
could in the coming year be kept a-going 51t
to that came the equally as oppressive uroer-
tainty how the Colonial Treasury, in the state
it was at the time, could possibly meet the
other object which Of late years has gone hand
in hand with the carrying on of the Admins
%tration, namely, to a very great extent to
assist, until better times come, in keeping up
the sugar cultivation in tho Island, by advances
to planters, which had hitherto been granted
by Additional Grants to the Budget. TO meet
this object there would be no means available
for the Colonial Treasury.
Under those circumstances, and as IL was
known at the same time, that the Government
was using all its e|xertion5 to provide the means
for the Island TO ride through tho. troubled
times, there was in The Council, as was seen at
the 1st discussion on the Draft Of Budget, q
certain reluctance TO discuss this discomfortiug
Budget and the Committee has been labo8r,
ing under the same disadvantage.

was Memories, a story of German love,

this season it is to be Marie, a Story Of
Russian love- from the Russian of Alex
ander Pushkin. Pushkin is the most
famous poet that Russia has ever pro
duced; and although this love tale is in
prose, it has all the smoothness aud senti-
ment of poem. The scene is laid in the
border provinces of Russia, about the
year ITO. An extract from the transla-

ried, and soon after appeared his charming
novel Marie, picture Of garrison life OF
the Russian plains. Peter and Marie, Of
this northern story, are as pure as theiI
native SHOWS; and while listening TO the
recital, we inhale the odor of the steppes,
and catch glimpses of the semi-barbarous
klamaok and the Cossack of the Don. y

VIM. Orion, president of the Western

Morrison, chairman of the Louisiana con-
gressional investigating committee, that he
won't furnish copies of kilograms on the
order of the committee, "at least until
after congress shall have approved the
subpenas of the committee, and directed
that their demands be enforced" And
he don't say that he will do SO then. Re.
publicans like Mr.. Orion will do all they
can to screen their guilty party, But Mr.
o. might as well set his boys at work
hunting up the originals. for it is quite
likely that congress will serve that sub
poena on him.

editor of the Chicago Tribune, and one
of the most intelligent, honorable and up

Recently Mr.. White wrote letter to the

it as his opinion that Gov. Tilden had
been honestly elected. We regret that
we have not space to spare for the whole
