pelieve we are, then Mr, Pope's grand discovery be-
comes a very simple affair indeed. He had only to make
use of the knowledge which he had acquired as Colonial
Secretary to convince the Belfusters that they had been
imposed upon, and to bring the present Government, as

he hoped, into difficulties. ‘The discovery might be at-
tributed to any accident that would be found convenient.
A strtetly honorable man would, we repeat, sufter his
right hand to be cut off rather than avail himself of any
retext to abuse the confidence of tried friends. Mr,
Pope was for four years the representative of the
settlers on the Selkirk Estate, How is it that, during
that time, he never made this extraordinary discovery
of his? He was then in a position to do something
towards remedying the evils which had been inflicted on
his constituents. lt was his duty then to make their
interests his first consideration, Why did he not then
enquire into the seerets of the Crown Land Office?
Why did he not then agitate that relle? be extended to
the ‘poor Highlanders,” for whom he has, for the last
two or three months, been groaning in spicit? We find
that, while Mr. Pope enjoyed oflice, he did not trouble
his head about the poor Highlanders; but no sooner
had he begun to fee the distressing effects of the cool
and dark shades of opposition, than his feeling heart
yearned towards his il -used fellow-colonists. This fact
has a very suspicious look about it, and people are un-
charitable endugh to draw conclusions from it not at all
favorable to the political integrity of the errant ex-Col-
onlal Secretary. The feel warranted in believing that
if the Conservatives had been returned with a majority
at the last election, and if they had appointed Mr, Pope
to a good, fat office, the world would never have heard,

* from him, at any rate, one single word about the poor
Highlanders of Belfast. The quibble that the Conser-
yatives did not extort from the settlers upon the Selkirk
Estate more than was warranted by the terms of the Act,
because when they went out of office the linds were not
paid for, is unworthy a man making the sinallest preten-
tions to liberality of mind. It is evident to any one ca-
pable of following ont the simplest train of reasoning,
that the Conservatives did all that in them lay to commit
the act of extortion complained of, That this act was
not consummated fs owing to no virtue of theirs. They
‘xed the extortionate price; they received as many of
che instalments of that price as they had the opportunity

of doing, and they doubtless would have received the |

whole of them without dreaming of restitution had the
people continued them in office. We will even go fur-
ther, and, for the information of those whom the Js’ander
calls “ poor [fighlanders,” and to show them the sincer-
ity of the sympathy of the ex-Secretary and his Pro-
prietary colleagues, state as a fact that the Go-
vernment of which Mr. W. H. Pope was an officer, not
only charged the Eee AN of the Selkirk Estate a
much higher price than Mr. Aldous considered necessary
to render the purchase self-sustaining, but actually pro-
posed to demand of them twenty per cent. of the

LE HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MA

Committee on Stationery—who are strict economists,
and determined to abolish altogether the use of wine and
spirits in the Ante-rooms af,the Assembly.

On Thursday morning, March 5, the House met at
the usual hour, but beyond the morring prayer and the
reading of the Journals, nothing was done until the alter-
noon sitting, in consequence of the Committees of the
previous day having to prepare their reports for submis”
sion to the House. In the afternoon the Hon, Mr. Da-
vies proposed and the Hon. Mr, Howlan seconded the
appointment of Messrs. Benj. Bulderston, Isaac Oxen-
ham and Robert Gordon as Reporters to the House for
the present Session. This motion created a tempest in
teapot among the Opposition, who saw, in the ep-
pointment, a manifestation of ingratitude to Messrs.
Laird and MeGowan, (the Reporters of last Session),
and a tame submission to tenant league influence. The
fact was that Mr Laird did not want the appointment,
and Messrs, Balderston, Oxenham and Gordon haying
canvassed the Government members before Mr. Mo-
Gowan gave itto be understood that he would accept the
appointment, there was no option but to appoint them
unless a breach of promise were made, The Queen’s
Printer then submitted the Draft of the Address in an-
swer to the Speech of His Excellency at the opening of
the Session,

r. FB. W. Hughes’ tenders for the Printin
Journals and the Debates of the House having tr the
lowest, they were accepted.

Fripay, March 6,—The House met at 10 o'clock, and
after the transaction of some routine business, adjourned
until the afternoon, when Mr. P. Sinclair proposed that
£15 be given from the Contingent Fund to each Island
paper that would publish in full the Debates of the Ses-
sion, ‘This was ruled to be a money vote which muat
origineste with the Executive, and therefore could not

Satunpay, March 7.—The Honse met and the Com-
mitte on Expiring Laws presented their Report, which,
was received and read. As the Opposition did not seem |
desirous of taking up the Governor's Speech in ‘he fore- |
noon, the House adjourned until the afternoon, The |
Opposition again failed to toe the mark jn the afternoon
/ with regard to the Governor's Speech. They scemed
‘anxious to preserve the serenity of their minds until af-
ter Sunday. Another reason for the opposition wishing
to delay the Debate on the Governor's Speecn was to |
allow of a caucus being held on Saturday night, to en- |
able the conservative literati of the city to frame resolu-

|

arrears of rent due on the Estate. ‘To the credit of
His Excellency Livvt.-Governor Dundas, be it said, that
he refused point blank to accede to so monstrously
— a proposition, and to him are the holders of the
Selkirkestate partially indebted that this largeamount was
not extorted from them by the late Conservative Govera-
ment In considering this question, it must be borne in
mind that self interest, which gene
over the minds of individuals, dictated to the Conserva-
tive Government, which contatned a large proprictory |
clement, to keep up the price of lands. It would be ub-
surd to suppose that the Hons. J. C. Pope, James Yeo,
and other Propric
ment, and who, no doubt,
when they, too, would have
wish and put thelr Estates in the market, were in favor
of selling the public lands to the tenants ata low figure.
On the contrary, we find them, when in power, to de-
mand from the purchasers of the Selkirk and other)
Estates a larger sum per acre than they knew would be}
sufficient to cover costs and expenses; and for this sim-
ple reason, that in case they should ever offer their pro- |
perty to the Government, they might be able to ask
a high price for it. It is in vatn for Mr, W. H. Pope to
beat about the bush and wildly assert that the late Con-
servative Government were unaware that in fixing the
selling price of the Selkirk Estate at the rate which they |
did, a sum more than sufficient to meet the costs and ex-
penses of the transaction would be realized, for we have
the positive evidence of his brother, the Hon. J. C.
Pope, whe occupicd the position of leader of that Gov-
ernment, to the contrary. In his place in the Assembty,
in the session of 1866, he made it a boast that every
Estate purchased by his Party had been a source of
“profit” to the Government—thus proving the line of
ent that we have adopted, that the Conservatives,
in violation of the spirit evd intention of the Land Par-
chase Act, aimed at making a profit out of the Selkirk
and other Estates purchased by them. The exact lan-
guage of the Hon. J. C. Pope is :—‘ Every Kstate which
we have bought has proved a paying speculation. We
have had a PROFIT, UPON. EVERY ONG OF THEM! 1 think
the Government will be justitied in purchasing all the
Estates they can, and carrying on, as quickly as possible,
the freciyg of the country from the bardeu of the lease-
hold or rent-paying system; and whether I may be in
the Governmeni or out of it, I will do all in my power
to bring about so desirable a consummation.” With
this declaration before them, we leave the so-called
poor Highlanders” to decide whether the Government,
ef which Mr. W. H. Pope was a confidential adviser,
desired to make a * profit” out of them or not, and to
alivine the motives which induced the Land Agents and
Proprietors who formed that Government to fix, in spite
of opposition of the present Commissioner of Crown
‘Lands, the prce per acre at so extortionate a rate, as
‘to demand the intervention of the Legislature and a Li-
fheral Government at the present day.

The editor of the Islander comments on the silence
of the leading members of the late Opposition on
the subject of the prices of the Selkirk Estate
lands; but, as we have been informed, the present
Leader of the Government protested againat the price
set upon those lands, and predicted that part of the
purchase moncy would have to be refunded to tho set~
tlers on them. There would have been little use in say-
ing anything more about the matter until the estate had
deen paid for, and then, no doubt, some patriotic gen-
“tleman who placed high value on votes in Belfast would
make a bid for popularity by making precisely the same
discovery which Mr. Pope has stum led upon in a man-
ner at once so opportune and simple. We repeat that if
the Selkirk Estate settlers are to be relieved from the
extortion of the late Conservative Government, it will
be owing to the fact that an administration friendly to
the agricultural classes have sneceeded a Proprietary
Government, whose interest and design it was to do as
Ittle as possible without exciting their suspicion or hos-

tility,

LEGISLATIVE,

On Wednesday last. at throe o'clock in the alternoon,
His Excellency Lieutenant Governor Dundas came down
to the Council Chamber for the purpose of formally
opening the Legislature of this Colony for the transac-
tion of business. His Speech will be found in the Sum-
mary of Mr. Arch'd McNeill, His Excellency was es-

-eorted ‘to and from Government House by Captains
“Wood and Holmans' Companies of Cavalry, whilet the
City Artillery, Irish, Prince of Wales, Dundas, Royaliy
Rifles and Qad City Artillery Companies of Volunteers
performed duty at the Colonial Building as a Guard of
Honor. Owing to the severe enow storms of the pre.
vious two days several members of the Council and As
sembly were abeent. The Council Chamber and Lob-
bies wero filled by a more than usual number of specta-
tors. On the return of the Members of the Assembly
from the Council Chamber to their Room, Mr. Speaker
Whiteman read to them acopy of the Gubernatorial utter-
ance, after which the Queen's Printer, recently re-elect.
ed one of the Members for the Second Electoral Dis-
trict of King’s County, was introduced to the House and
took the usual oaths and his seat. Mr, Afetiibald Me-
Neill was appointed Summary Reporter to the House
fr tho Session of 18968. Tho usual committees formed
at the opening of the Legislatare having been appointed

, the Honse adjourned until ten o'clock a. m. on Thars-
_ day. ‘The Leader of the Opposition. the Hon, T. H.
- Haviland, eeemed to be in unusual spirits, whether from
the inward contemplation of ramoured divisions in the
_ Government camp, or the satisfaction of again standing

Moxpay, March 9.—The House met at half-past ten
o'clock in the morning and was moved into a Commitive
of the whole to take tnto consideration the Draft Ad-
88 in reply-to the Speech of Lhs Excelleney the Lieu-
tenant Governor atthe opening of the Session. Before
the motion waa Carried, the Leader of the Opposition,

overnment in
the matter of the Loan, the Land Question and Educa-
tion. All these subjects onght. in his opmion, to have
been settled by this time, or that the Government
ought, at least; to have foreshadowed in His Exeel-
leney’s speech the nature of the measures intended to_
he mtroduced during the Session, Mr. Brecken, one |
of the members for the city, followed in the same |
strain, and asgerted that the present Government and |
Party possessed no public spirit or respectabihty,
politiertly, and that there was not much fear of their
ever surrendering the reins of pony. upon any vita
public question, “They would die of simple inanition,
The How. Me Heneley “

and in a stram of good-humored irony, expressed the
hope that, from the energy and zeal manifested in the
ubhe interests by those gentlemen whild in opposition,
yut forgotten while in power, they would long eontinue
in & position to guitivate those excellent qualities for
the benefit of the country. When in Comanttee, the
fight was renewed ‘with spirit on both sides., and kept
up until nine o'clock at might, with the exception of an
hour's recess for dinner. On the Government side,
credit was claimed for being sound to the core on the
vital question of Confederation, for saving £5,000 stg.
to the Colony by Mr. Hensley's mission, for governing
the Colony without the aid of troops, for raising. the
sularies of teachers without increasing taxation, and
for putting machinery in motion which will soon enforce
a settlement of the Land Question, The late Govern-
ment, of which the Leader of the Opposition was an
officer and a member, failed in everything exeept be-
traying and libelling the people, and erecting Barracks.
It is admitted on all hands that the defence of the Gov-
ernment was completely succeseful in every poiut,
whilst the onslaught on the Opposition was most dam-
aging to their hopes of speedily succeeding to the Gov-
eroment.

Turspay, Mare’: 10.—The Debate still drags its
slow length along, the Opposition indulging in endless
repetitions with regard to the ‘Tenant League and the
Land Question from the days of Gracchi; but without
the fire and vigor of yesterday. We suppose the debate
will be kept up for two or three days yet, after which
we hope the business of the country will be vigorously
prosecuted.

Tur Fanmens’ Crus met at the North American
Hotel on Friday night last—Dr. Jenkins in the Chair,
Agricultural Implements and the growing of Wheat
were the subjects discussed. The Hons. Messrs. Hay-
therne and Beer and other gentlemen offered some
very valuable soggestions upon wheat growing, but it
was painfally evident that if the Club desires to improve
upon the present system of farming, it will have to be-
gin at the beginning, and employ some competent per-
son to impart to its members a knowledge of Agri-
cultural Chemistry. Many subjects which appeared in-
explicable to some of the speakers on Friday night
would appear simple and plain enough by the aid of
science. We would suggest that extracts from Vrofess-
aor Dawson's work, entitled, **Agnicultare in Schoole”
be read at each mecting of the Club. Much good
would, undoubtedly, result from such a procee ing.
even in considering the ‘ Rotation of Crops.” e
subject for next night's discussion, and one which Pro-
fessor Dawson treats in an exbaustive manner.

At a recent meeting of the American Farmers’ Club,
(so say's the Patriot), Mr, 1, Williams, a practical farm”
er, from New Jeréey, read a paper on Potatoe Cultures
from which we clip the following extract: |
My practical experience with potatoes is confined |

ast ten years. this time I have experi. |

ture, the results of which I have hastily embodied in the |
folluwing brief paper: First, the seed and its prepara: |
tion. Jf you were to eee a farmer save bis corn nub- |
bins for seed, or select the meanest and most indifferent |
specimen of horse, cow, or swine, from which to per-—
er gegr his stock, you would at once set hiw down as a |
vol, ‘Let us hope this practice is not prevalent; yet.
many otherwise intelligent farmers act about as sensibly
in their potatoe growing ; for they insist year after year,
in selecting mall eeed aud wonder they don't do better. |
«Potatoes don’t do as they used to. Shall have to buy
potatoes this sesson, &e.’ Now reasoning from analogy |
‘like begets like *, and for the same reason that T would |
select the best ears of corn, the best and heaviest wheat, |
rye or oats, for sowing, would T select the best, largest |
and smoothest potatues for plaating, beli¢ving as 1 do |
that such potatoes are earlier, maturer and better de-|
veloped than small ones. Trae, such seed would bring |
a little more then small oncs in the market, but. a few |
dollars and cents gain there, is no comparison to the gain
I believe I get in the increased yield and continued
health and vigor of future crops. I believe one chief
ciuce of the failure and deterioration of the potato is the
persistent use of small and immatare seed. My @xperi-
ments have led me to practice cutting seed to one or two
eyes to prevent overstocking, and to allow the growing
tubers vo epread themselves.”
