Ghe Herald. —— Wednesday, June 17. 1868. ASSASSINATION, ASsAsSrxaTION scems to be the wide-pervading ntania of the day. Within the past few years, and especially within the past few months, quite acrop.of this atrocious ‘erlme has been gatheredin. Beginning on this slide of the Atlantic, we have the assassination of the late laniented President Lincoln; then the no less horrible murder of the eloquent Thomas D'Arcy McGee startled the world; further South was the attempt to assassinate President Flores, of Buenos Ayres; and further still, in the Aus- tralian Colonies, the miraculous escape of H. R. IL. Prince Alfred, from the cowardly attempt of a would-be- assassin, startlingly realized the truth that this horribly revolting crime is confined to no cliss or county, and has unpleasantly dispelled the idea that assassination was confined to the carbonari of Europe and the disciples of Mazzini and Gavazzi. We all remember the attempt upon the life of the Czar Alexander, whilst driving with the Emperor Napoleon through the streets of Paris, at the time of the late Exposition; and now again, our feel- ings are shocked by a trans-atlantic telegram, announcing the assassination of Prince Michael, the reigning Prince of Servia. Whilst walking, on the 11th inst.in the public park of Belgrade, accompanied by his cousin and a daughter of the latter, and by his usual attend- ants, four men, armed with revolvers, rushed upon the party and fired promiscuously upon them, Palnce Michael fell to rise no more, and doubtless the object of the assassins was attained. It is quite useless just now to inquire into the motives of the assassins. They may have been political, although it does not always follow that assassinations are dictated by politicalenmity. A morbid ambition for notoriety, operating upon a weak intellect, has been quite as often the source of assassina- tion as hatred engendered by politics. It is recorded that the Ephesian Temple of Diana and the Library at Alexandria were destroyed through this same desire for notoriety. The same motive is supposed to have influ- enced Fox,the chartist, to attempt the life of her Majesty ambition was to figure in history as the assassin of Pre- sident Lincoln. Whatever the cause in Prince Michael's ease, the tragedy has had the effect of producing a pro- found sensation throughout Europe. In recording the long catalogue of the events of the past, historians have classified certain periods for some distinguishing features which charactzrised them. Religious fervor,the extension of civil liberty, intellectual activity, exploring enter- prise, mechanical invention—each and all of these have given a peculiarity to certain periods of history; but we are very much inclined to think, that the most distin- guishing feature which the future historian will havo to record concerning the latter part of the nineteenth century, will be its assassination, or attempted assassina- tion of distinguished personages. In conclusion, we can only hope that it will be a long time before we are again called upon to chronicle another addition to the already long list of assassinations which have horrified mankind within so short a.space of time. Ar A Sranp-stint.—The Macadamizing of Queen Street, the progress of which we noted a few numbers ago, has been stopped, for what reason, we are not aware. What are the “able men” of the progressice— I thank the Jew for teaching me that word—progressive City Corporation about? Our vigilant and attentive friend of the Patriot, who is now 4 member of that in- dispensable body, may be able to enlighten us on this matter. Judging our contemporary by his vigorous censures of the present Government for their want of administrative ability, outsiders might come to the con- clusion that Charlottetown was blessed with one of the finest institutions, inthe shape of a Corporation, of which any city could beast. But, alas! for ‘* Precept versus Practice,” the dilapidated condition of our side-walks, the disgraceful state of our streets, the facility with which burglars and incendiaries ply their vocation without de- tection, the encouragement given to loafers and black- guards to assemble at street corners to insult passers- by, the filthy condition ofthe city wells, the want of sewerage, the absence of water to extinguish fires, to allay the dust, &c., &c., painfully convince us that all is not gold that glitters,—that there Is much room for pro- gress and improvement in the government of this small city—that, in fact, the Editor of the Patriot, who is un- ceasingly fault-flnding at the expense of the “ composite Government,”—and,in imitation o. Cervantes’ herc, Whom he appears to have taken for his model, donning his armour and issuing forth in search of adventure and imaginary grievances—might, with some prospect of ultimate good, direct his eagle glance to those defects in city matters, which are patent toevery person but the City Fathers, and employ his admigistrative ability in endeavoring to remedy them. For this purpose he was cleeted to the City Connell, and his constituents expect something from him, When he has succeeded in introducing any civic reforms worth mentioning, it will be quite time enough for him to attempt to remedy abuses in the general Government. The Editor of the Patriot has been a City Councillor for ward Five for nearly twelve months, and the only thing which has signalised his tenure of office is an increase of twenty- five per cent. on the taxes of the citizens. Where docs all the money go, and what is there to show for it? A few leaky tanks and a sink of iniquity at the lower end of his own street, which is not only dangerous to travel- lers,but is calculated to engender a pestilence. Whether the design of the sink was taken after the Suez Canal or the old Appian Way, which ended in a bog, we leave our contemporary to decide. Is it to administer the affairs of the colony after this fashion that our contemporary has such an ambition to occupy one of the easy chairs of the Assembly, and the position of Queen’s Printer? It would be advisable for him betimes to turn his atten- tion in the direction we have indicated, and see if he cannot introduce some of those civic reforms which are so loudly called for. When he does so, his fellow-citi- zens will not only thatk him for the good which he has accomplished, but will elevate him to a position in the Councils of his country where his genius will be more fully exercised in the broader fleld of Colonial Govern- ment, and they will more fully appreciate his efforts to introduce untyersal economy. Here is a wrinkle for him to work to fame and fortune. We would also suggest a variation in those performances upon the religious bagptpes, which have distinguished his pages ever since the education question has been before the public, by an occasional reference to the subjects more immediately within the scope of his inflacnce, We feel assured that neither his city readers nor the general public would at all object, and the attempt would serve to point the moral and adorn the tale of any futare lectures upon “ Precept versus Practice.” We have one or two more pinches of Editorial Snuff for out contemporary when the effects of the present application shall have vanished.

RECIPROCITY. eeneninenieel Os loolsing over the proceedings of the United States House of Representatives on 8th instant, we find the following Bill introdaeed by Mr. Beamans : Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of, America in Congress assembled: “hat the following named articles, being the growth and product of the British North American Provinces, shall be admitted into the United States, when directly import- ed, at a-daty of tive cents per centum ad valorem, ‘That is to say grain, flour and breadstufls of all kinds, animals of all kinds, fish, smoked and salted meats, seeds, green and dried fruits, fish of all kinds, products of fish and all other creatures! living in water, poultry, butter, cheese, maple sugar, lard, tallow, timber and luniber of all kinds, round, hewed, sawed, but not otherwise manu- factured,in whole or in part, fish, oil, coa),lrewood, grind- stones, rough or unfinished, provided that similar articles in the growth and product of the United States shall be admitted into the said provinces of British North Amert- ca, at a rate of duty not higher than the duty tnposed by this act upon similar articles when imported into the United States from the provinces aforesaid. And pro- vided farther, that all export ddties upon any of the above-enume Lartitles shall be abolished and cease to exist. "3 sono) Sec. 2. And he ib further enacted, that for the use and privilege of navigating the waters of Lake Michigan by citizens of Canada, same rights and privileges are to be conceded to the eltizens of the United States by Can- ada in the waters of the St. Lawrence and its canals as are enjoyed by British subjects, without distinctions as to tolls, and charging rates proportioned to canal dis- tance And, provided that forthe free transit of goods, wares, and merchandize in bond, under proper regula. tions, by railroad across the territory of the United States, to and from Portland and the Canada line, equal privileges shall be conceded to the United States from Winsor and Port Sarnia, or other western points of de- parture to Buffalo or Ogdensburgh. And provided fur- ther, that the free ports in Canada shall be abolished, Src. 8. And be it further enacted, That all the rights of fishing near the shore existing under the treaty with Great Britain, of 1854, known as the ‘ Reciprocity Treaty.’ shall be granted and conceded Ly the United States to the said Provinces of British North America; provided that the same rights and privileges of fishing as existed and were understood to exist under the said treaty, shall be granted and conceded by the sald Provinces to the United States in every respect, including the shore fisheries of the waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and the waters and shores of Lakes Ontario, Erie, Huron, and Superior, with fall privileges to the citizens of the United States to fish for, or take, dry, and cure any fish of any kind, what- ever, Within three marine miles of any of the coasts, bays, creeks or harbors, whatever, of British North America, the same as are enjoyed by citizens of British North America, and tvithout distinction as between citi- zens of the United States aud of the said Provinces of British North Ameriéras to dues and other regulations. Suc. 4. And be it further enacted, that mo part of this act shall go into effect unless and until all the stipula- tions and concessions herein provided are mutual reed to by the said Governments of British North America and are mutually and reciprocally enforeed by the Governments of British North America as well as by the United States; and upon the failure or neglect of the said Provinces of British North America, or any of them to give effect to any of the reciprocal provisions of this act, citheras regard the mutual admission of articles, the natural growth and product of each country as here- tofore cnumerated, the free navigation of the St. Law- rence and the canals thereof, the freedom of the fisheries, or any other provision herein containcd which depends upon a mutual agreement, concession or privilege, made by the said Provinces to the United States, then the provisions, concessions and requirements of this act shall be held to close, and to be of no effect so fur as the said provisions, or any of them, are concerned, and public notice to that effet shall at once be given by pro- clamation of the President of the United States, the true intent and meaning of this act being that {t shall only apply to those provinces of British North America which mutually become parties to its provisions by such reci- — legislation as may be necessary to give them effect, We do not know what the fate of this BU will be, but would not be surprised to see it carried into law. It is satisfactory to find the Americans waking up to the im- portance of a reciprocity in business with the people of these British American Provinces. The folly of their Japanese policy of the past few years is becoming un- pleasantly realized to them, and hence the efforts which are made from time to time to obtain a renewal of the old Reciprocity Treaty. ‘The present Bill is a near ap- proach to the former Treaty; but we think that the commercial men of these colonies will give their Repub- lican friends very distinctly to understand that if they want free access to these markets and to these waters, they must come down a peg in their terms. We have managed to get along famously without the Reciprocity Treaty, and we fancy that we could exist very well without it in the future. The present Bill, therefore, will not do. From our knowledge of the opinions of commercial men upon the subject, we are assured that not only will a complete reciprocity be demanded in those articles enumerated fu this Bill, but, in consideration of free access to Provincial fishing grounds, the registra- tion of our vessels yhd heir admittance to the coasting trade of the United States will also be stipulated for. Heretofore, the Reciprocity Treaty has been largely in favor of the Americans, inasmuch as, under its operation, they enjoyed in these Provinces all the privileges of British subjects. We are willing to grant thom the same privileges now; but ifwe do, we have a right to ask for a fair equivalent for them, A_ participation in the American coasting trade, in addition to a reciprocity in the productions of the soil, is the only equivalent which would be at all acceptable to the people of these Colon- jes for the surzender of their fisheries and those other privileges which they now exclusively enjoy, We shall return to this subject. MonpayY's Examiner narrates an extraordinary case of suspended animation in the person of a child,a son of Mr. J. M. Johnston, Cumberland Hill, who fell into a well and was taken out apparently dead.—lIlis skin was very cold, his limbs rigid, and his face swollen and quite dark. Without loss of time, the child’s dripping clothes were torn off his body, aud he was placed in warm blankets before a blazing fire. He was laid on his face, with the head lower than the rest of the body, and table calt sprinkled over him. Te was then rubbed with the bare hand, and moved gently from side to side. The blankets, as they cooled, were constantly replaced by warm ones, and the rubbing was not slackened for a single instant. After being treated in this way for about ten minutes, the child showed faint symptoms of return- ing life. His feet and temples were rubbed with spirits, after which he came to rapidly. In about an hour after the child was taken ont of the water, he was able to take some toast-water; and the wext day, after passing a somewhat restless night, he was running about the house. “ Precerr versus Pracrice.”—Tar Patriot of Satur- day last aske ‘if itis not time that the new Kducation Act was published?” The question is a public one and deserves an answer. Considering the length of the Act, the number of forms.in which it has to be printed, and the very short timo in which the manuscript has been ia tho Printers’ hands, we think that every reasonable person will admit that no unnecessary delay has beev practised in its publication. It will be printed in Ga- zelte form, either the latter part of the prosent, or the first part of next weck.

This is just what we anticipated, and we think there can he little doubt that if the Fenlans really Intended an in- vasion of the Provinces, they will, after becoming ac- quainted with the decision and intention of the American Government, abandon their wicked and mad design, We hope we have heard the last of the Fenian movement.
