The Chairman gave a statement of the
present stage in which the Central Fncto-
~ question has arrived, and on the Coun-
ellis behalf requested the President to
tender Preliminary the thanks of this
community to His Excellency Governor
aud the Home Government for the
very valuable assistance afforded the Island
IN this matter. The President also made
comments on the matter and pro
missed to convey the thanks proffered.
Agreeably to the Order Of Day the
Council attended to:
ID Election Of 2 Members to revise the.
Communal Accounts f~or1874-76;
Faber and Lemming were elected.
p Interpolation from Member WiLemoes
as to whether the Roman Catholic
Priests are recognized. The interpel-
liant stated that the reasons of the
enquiry were, that the Chairmen
OF the Poor-nnd School, Commissions
were at a loss how to act, as the
PrIests are, whom recognize d, Members
OF the said Commissions +; and it is
known that the two Priests now Off
eating are not recognized /; best les,
II they are not recognized, the oleri-
cal duties performed by them are null
and void, so that marriages and bap.
tisms soIemnized by shose unrecog-
Dlzed Priests can have no legal vail
dlty hence, the matter was one Of
general public interest. The Pyssi-
dent replied that of late a~e67tafn laxi-
y has crept in with regard to the re-
Cogtlti0n Of priests in the Roman.
Catholic denominations it 10 true
that the two Priests at present Off
oiatlng are not recognised but he
promised that in future he would
SEQ that due attention and obser-
vance be given to the existing rules
In that respect, of which he gave a
statement.- Member WiUemoeSsugges-
ted II the marriages etc. s0lemnized by
the unauthorized Priests might not
be made valid by, for instance, civil
marriage or by subsequent re-perfor-
nance Of them by o duly recognized
priest ito which the President re-
piled that that method was unpracti-
cable chiefly because the Roman
Catholic dogmas do not admit the
validity Of civil marriages.
After some few remarks from other
Members, the Interpolation was
closed.

nance concerning Vaccination. The
Government bad proposed some

The Radicals chuckle over the fact,
and not without some reason, VIC re-
greet to say, that the Democratic par
ty is not a unit by any means, on the
financial question. Nor, indeed, for
that matter, is the Republican party
nm entire unit on the same question.
But OF one thing, we are sure, and
that is, our party is unit on the
measure OF economy and reform, and
Oh a real desire to dethrone Grantisn
and break up the frauds upon the rev
enues Of the country. We do not be
lieve that because some Of our leading
men favor one system Of finance aud
others different one, that when the,

President aud Vice President, at St

and have two sets Of resolutions ana
two different sets of candidates, simpl,
because they may differ as to the poll

that, and knowing that la union there

KATE FIELD, the charming cores
pondent of the CoWier-Jouraai, wri-
ting from London, gives several choice
extracts from lecture delivered there
in April, by NJ. ID. Conway, an Amer
lean citizen, relative to American pol
itics, &c. The writer agrees with the
lecturer when he says that "corrup'
ton and intrigue in high places will
increase and continue until the Office
Of President is utterly abolished And
have you never thought that the Office
is one which might be abolished, and
the country become all the better for

any thing can disgust me with a So
called Republic, it is the commercial
and political upheavel which takes
place every four years in the United
States, in order that one man may
cut off eighty thousand heads, and
put eighty thousand more in their
places. What immense patronage!
What an army to rally around the
Executives banner! With eighty
thousand Office holders appointed by
one man, who come at his beck and
call, and 60 at his bidding, the won

liberties and our form OF free govern

President should continue, we may
not live to celebrate our second Cen

As the propagation Of food fish has
become considerable resource to those
who have constructed Breeding Hous-
o. for them, and rs It has added anoth-
er industry to Americans, IL occurs to
us that private individuals might
make IL profitable were they to es'ab-
li.h such houses at convenient places
in this State, where they could supply
not only the waters within our own
boundary, but sell the eggs and young
6sh 10 others in different Southern
States where they could not be easily
bred. There are numbers Of places in
Kentucky, and several In Liocoln
county. where bold Springs furnish
water the entire year, Of an even tenn
pen ture, and just the kind required
for the breeding Of salmon and trout.
The head-waters Of Green River are
fed by countless springs Of clear wat.
cr, running over smooth beds OF grav-
el and out of mountains, which are
the native abode Of trout, bass, perch,
etc. Almost within the corporate lin.
its of Stanford runs q never failing
brook, which is fed mainly by Cave
Spring, but into which other springs
of fine water pour a csaseless food.
This brook has sufficient fall to enable
the water to be led off into troughs,
tanks, &C., which could be shut of
from the main stream at times when il
becomes muddy after a hard rain,
The supply could be kept up. never
theless, during the time the main
stream might be muddy. from severa

THE Catholics and Protestants seem
to be making great efforts in the last
few years, to educate the negroes Of
the South in religious matters. The
Methodists, Presbyterians and Bap-
lists, among the Protestants, seem to
be more active in that way, than
any other branches Of that faith, while
the Catholic Church, is not much be-
hind them in the work. Church
buildings are bein 6 erected, and
schools opened for the benefit of the
blacks in several States South Of us.
Each seems to be in earnest, and good
may be done by both.
