From the Iidende.)

A NUMBER OF VISITORS called on
Now Years day at Government
House to pay their respects to Gov
ERNoR GARDE and family. Among
them we hear that the members of
the Colonial Council appeared in a
body. The GOVERNOR very appro-
priately acknowledged the compli-
ment which had been paid to himself
ard family. Mr.. E. DELEoN, K. d.,
took advantage Of the opportunity
to wish his Excellency and family,
on behalf of the Colonial Council,
many happy new years, adding the
hope that they would be spent among
us. Should, however, circumstances
cause them to be spent away from
us, he felt assured that his wish
would still be realized, as the man
who fulfls his duty always feels that
dissatisfaction which brings happi-
ness, and of which the tongue of
SANDER, and even persecution cannot
deprive him. The GOVERNOR in a
neat reply, thanked the speaker for
these good wishes.

He agreed with the President that
the administration should see that the
privilege was properly used.
The President could not see that
any proposal was before the Council.
An honorable Member had mere
ly suggested what should be done.
The Chairman said that the ques-
ton of where the account appeared
was so closely connected with the
question OF renting the money, that
he had not felt called on to interfere
with the discussion. Unless the COM
mittee had a proposal to make, he
thought the matter might be left to the
Presidency.
The President had already said
hat without some rule it became an
arbitrary act on the part of the admin.
istration to refuse demands. He
was against leaving it to the authori-
ties.
Mr.. Quin said that the object Of the
Committee was to call attention to
the matter, which had been done by
the discussion. They were not pre-
pared with any proposal, but would
leave the matter with the Council.
Mr. Fa5er thought that in future a
special account should be kept OF
these matters.
The discussion was then closed.
The next matter discussed was an
additional Money Bill for an extra
expense of $116.21 for Military
clothing. After some explanatory
remarks from the President the Bill
passed the frstdiscussion.
Following this was a discussion
within closed doors concerning e bill
the practical intent of which was to
remit absentee tax charged against
Mr.. Coulter.
the discussion was postponed.
The election ofgentlemen to under
take certain municipal duties closed
the proceedings.
As Members of the electoral boards
were chosen, for Christiansted, Mr..
7. +. Mendes; for Ch~ristiansted's
Country district, Captain Boye; for
Fredcriksted, Mr.. B. Woods; and for
Frederiksted's Country District, Mr..

officers in fixing price of produce,
were elected Mr.. W. II. Heyliger and

THE SOUTH AMERICAN WAR.

~ NSbSb%
struggle comes TO us, as customary,
through the columns of the Panama
Star and Herald. Since the close
of the labours of the peace Commits
sioners, there has been.no very great
event, if we may except the fall of
Pisco, which took place on the 10Th
ultimo; the Peruvians having to
abandon it, after a small fight, to the
Chilians. The force of Chilians
which effected the captHre was some
$500 strong. The place has since
become the base of operations of the
CHILEAN army destined to capture the
city of Lima, which is the goal ofthe
Gillian army, and it really seems
as if nothing will prevent its accom-
plishment, for are not the brave
armies of Peru beaten and discom-
fitted beaten to such a degree that
no one can really suppose that at
this stage of the wal there is the
slightest possibility of the defeated
levies of Peru making the slightest
stand against the victorious army of
Chile. We allow the Lima Especial"
of the Panama Star Dc Herald to relate
the situation of affairs in his own
words. Writing under date of 1st
ultimo he says:
"Although the enemy is now in
such close proximity, even greater
ouietude is observable here. 1t may
be the magnitude of the approaching
struggle quells all desire to converse
with respect to the war, or it maybe
doubts as to the result keep mems
mouth closed. But the truth is, al
though the enemy is now scarcely
100 miles off, this melancholy fact
attracts little attention. There carr
be no doubt of the result if the army
and reserve fight well. They are
we'll armed, and in a general engage
ment should outnumber the enemy,
by at least 10000 men. The first
division of the Chilian army contin'
ues at Pisco, awaiting the arrival of
the second now known to be embark
ing. These two divisions will con-
sist in all of $4,000 men. They
have occupied Tambo de Mora and
Chincha, whilst $500 of them have
paid a visit to the town of lea, where
the customary scenes of pillage oc~

allowed to. do as they chose, and
innumerable outrages were commit
ted. The Chilian Minister OF War
and General Manturana are at Tam
DO de Mora. General Villagran and
Commander Lynch were in Pisco.
The number of deaths when Colonel
Zamudio retired from Pisco are said
to be inconsiderable. The Chilians
are issuing the ten sol notes they
seized on board the Islay. They
pay their troops with them, and of
course soldiers force their acceptance.
Several sugar cane plantations have
been destroyed. No fighting has
taken place as yet. The Chilians
evidently intend to advance slowly,
and to make no movement which
may compromise them in a heavy
engage ment until they have the

said that it did not appear whether there
was a loss Or profit on the exchange trans.
actions, he could not suppose otherwise
than that there was a loss. For a number
of years these remittanceS had been made
at a charge of 81 per cent; and of late the
Treasury have had TO pay much higher
thar this for their bills, the difference was
of course a loss. But he would like to ask
if there was not some limit, or whether
any official could get what amount he asks
for. Tt was rumoured that ome officials
had got large amounts RENTED in this
way. aud it would be better to have the
question answered here than to follow
these rumours.
The President said there was no
such limit as the last speaker limited
at. There was no rule to shew on
what the practice was grounded.
Consequently the administration, even
when the demand was thought I'M
reasonable, could only appear as ex-
ercising an arbitrary power by refusal.
He had omitted to mention that the
loss to the Treasury by these trans
actions was the difference between
63 per cent and the current rate OF
exchange.
Larger Lemming would ask one
question. When it is acknowledged
that there is a loss to the Treasury,
how does that appear in the public
accounts Is the item in the Bud
get and if not, should it not be
there {? In that case special accounts
would be kept of these matters. Only
lately there were RENTED $4,000, the
bills being bought at II per cent,
consequently there was a loss on this
transaction foyer 5000. These are
not small items.
The President saw no practical re-
suits in the last speakers proposal.
1t was always easy to find out what
had been RENTED and what was the
current rate of exchange. Of course
it is another question whether the
whole thing is to be kept up or not.
Lawysr Lextmi1g said he could not
see how the expense could pass,
without appearing on the Budget.
This was the practical tendency OF
his remarks.
CAPTAIN Willard. From what the
President had said, it was plain that
there was a loss. 1t was not worth
while to go back and see what thishad
been in times past, as it could not now
be recovered but as there was now
every facility tor renting through
the bank he did not see why the
Government should remit money for
private persons, or, if so, the Treasury
should be refunded the expense of
renting.
nv. Quin thought the error was in
using an old rate of exchange, which
had long aso disappeared, instead of
the current rate. If the average cur
rent rate, say the average of the pre-
ceding year, were charged, there
would be a mere trife of difference
either way.
DR.. Kalmer thought the discussion
had gone much further than was in
tended. The question in the report
was, where the account was to be
found; but one member of the COM
mittee had proposed to do away with
the custom. He must acknowledge
that in one sense it would be quite

Somehow she heard what was going on. She
galloped down to the court house to stop him,
as she didn't want divorce. She got there
just as he was making a plea for her. And,
mind you, she was mad at him, but, by Jove,
sir, she listened to HIM five minutes and be-
came so convinced that she ought to have a

praise of anything French, lsa pretty good
recommendation for the Norman horse. Mr..
Dickinson being an old and experienced
