1st Member for Christiarsted (ViHayd)
roliced that we are IN the same position
az last year as regards the proposed extra
grant Tor an assistant ut The pusIofices.
Those assistants apprPr not to assist the
Public az Postt flee CLERKS during the
ordinary business hours In factit appears
that there is no one to get the money al

TIE Acting President, said that as far as
he had Understood the last Speaker, he al
Iuded to the $500 entered under The Post
Department as salaries for two Assistants.
nnd that he meant 10 say that there are no
such clerks in :he Offices ut the usual
business hours he would in that respect
beg To say that the office hours ut the
Post Offices are by particular order OF the
Government regulated for daily use TINT

be some little mistake, IA the same mau

the Customhouse. But he would make
enquiry into the matter.
1st Member for Christiansted III Mord)
would endeavour 70 make bis meaning
clearer. The money granted appears to
be intended TO be appropriated for an
assistant or extra clerk in the Postofices,
where il would seem that the services of
such q man are needed. But as things are
now, those services TOR the Postofice are
discharged by the Customhouse personnel
for, he knew from experience that if a
merchant applied to have o vessel cleared,
and it happened to be at the hours Of re-
eel wing or despatchirg mails, you are told to
wait TIL the post-ofice duties are done,
bet ore the clerk can attend TO the mer,

The Acting President said that the grant
was allowed in order to avoid such delays,
and that the Customhouse duties especially

Semi Statement.

Il is fifty years since the business Of Messrs.
f. & L. Fairbanks & Co.. scale manufacturers,
was established, and in celebrating theiI semi.
centennial anniversary, they have The s~a'isfac-
ton of knowing that, out of a little business
established in 1880 in northern Vermont. there
has grown up an industry which now reaches to
all parts Of The world. The scales bearing the
Fairbanks stamp are as we'll known to-day 10
Moscow, in Hong Kong, in Bombay, in London,
as in the ci les Of our wv country.
The principle established at The outset by
the manufacturers of Fairbanks Scales-that
nothing but perfect scales, irrespective of their
cost, should ever leave the factory-has been
followed out 10 the present time, and the result
has been that zach year mas seen an increasing

The assassin of President Gar
field, Charles Guiteau, a Chicago
lawyer, born in Illinois, but of French
Canadian extraction, voted in the
Chicago convention for General
Garfield. He consequently thought
he had a right to something, and
asked for the Consulship at Mar
settles. He was a " Stalwart of Stall
warts" that is, a warm friend of
the Conkling side, and had recon-
mendations from that party in Illi-
nois /; but he was refused, apparent
ly from a suspicion that he was not
quite sane, and crazy with mortified
, 1881-08-13

IN West End should rot DE deferred. He
was sorry to hear of the delay. but the
Presidency would:mske enquiries into it.
2nd Member for Frederiksted's Country
District (Juughans) would cay, that bust
ness was carried on formerly without such
an Assistant, and to perfect satisfaction, at
least as far as Frederiksted is concerned +;
It appeared that the grant is wasted money,
and In these bad years it should not to
have been passed.
1st Member for CbristianSted (Wal}drd)
would call the attention of His Honor the
President to the fact that he had made no
distinction between the Two towns. Ircon.
venlence was experienced at both places.
We did not say anything as long as the
Public did not pay extra for avoiding
inconvenience until something was asked
10 order that we should not have to wait,
the TACT OF having to wait was not 20
tedious.
The Chairman pointed cut that the first
grant tor assistance at the Post Office was
obtalned 2 years ago, at that time for
Chrlstlansted last year a grant was obtain
ed also for FredeIiksteds Postoficp, as it
was considered only fair that the Post
master there should have the same assis.
lance as the Postmaster in Christiansted.
2nd Member for Christiansted's Country
District Coulter said that as far as he
remembered, when the offices of Collector
OF Customs was hmalgamated with those
OF Postmaster, the officials We're satisfied to
take over both duties but after u while
there was applied for clerks TO assist in
the discharge Of the pcsrmsster's duties
to this no objection was made, expecting
that the Public would thereby be
better served. But this was not the
case. HecouId not speak from experience
on the Cusfonlhouse duties, but as
regards the Post Office duties, he
could say that bis experience was only
this that letters despatched to him, and al
dressed via kingshilI. were sent to Frede-
nItSted aud from there returned to Chris
t%lansled, which of course caused great
delay and inconvenience In fact he had
heard It saldby others, that il a person wants
a letter TO go straight and safe, then put
no post stamp on it. II the clerks ut the
Postofice are paid for assisting 10 those
duties, the Public should have the benefit
OF their services.
The Acting President said he would do
hIa best to have The matter locked iuto.
No one else requested he word.

vanity and party feeling, he resolves
to murder the President, and with
the last dollars he could borrow
purchased a revolver, and executed
his purpose. He declares hat he
had no confederates, which appears
to be true but expresses no regret
for bis deed, asserting that his only
fear is lest General Garfield should
live, and Mr.. Arthur SO fail to attain
power. Should the President reco-
yer, Guiteau can, under the laws of
the District of Columbia, only be
imprisoned for eight years, as Pre-.
sidents are not specially protected !;
but should his victim die, he will be
punished like any other Murderer.
His family represent him as insane,
but there is little evidence OF this.
beyond a letter or two which he
seems to have written with q view
to that defence and Americans,
when reused, are not quite so scru-
pulous on hat subject as English
men are. They will decide that,
sane or insane, Guiteau shall not
stop in this world.
