lock’s column. General Wolseley himself isat Port Durnford, in the neighborhood of Crealock’s command.

When the troops entered Ulundi, every- thing of value had heen removed to the new kraal, which was built by Cetewayo when the war broke out, fifteen miles north of Ulundi, which can be approached only through a long, narrow ravine.

Cetewayo’s chief regiments went with him as a body guard.

The correspondents at the seat of war, though all agreeing that the victory over the Zulus was decisive, express at the same time some doubts whether King Cetewayo will immediately come to ternis.

The Times correspondent says the ques- tion whether Cetewayo will surrender or not is of little importance as, in the event of his proving stubborn, the British can place his brother Oham, who surrendered some time ago, in possession of the lower and far more fertile part of Zululand and, by assuring Oham of some little support at the commencement of his reign, can estab- lish a complete bulwark between Cetewayo and the British Colonies, The continuation of war would be an ardueus and fruitless task as beyond the Ulundi the country is wilderness where the transportation would

exceed in difliculty anything yet ex- perienced. An official return of the British losses

does not include those m the native con- tingent. The Zulus were compelled to pause by the heavy fire when they arrived within 60 yards of the British square, and eye witnesses differ greatly as to the persis tency with which the Aulus pressed the at- tack. This probably arises from various positions in which they witnessed it. The most circumstantial narrative shows. the Zulus came with 2a magnificent rush in dense masses upon che rear of the square, and seemed determined cet in close quarters, but their aitack on : ie left flank was not nearly so determined. «s that flank was protected by a Catling yn: Aulus dread greatly.

Kstimites of the losses vary so greatly.as to show that they are pure guessing, the highest: being 1,500. The dead . were seel lying thick tall around the square.

Lonpon, July 24.

In the competition at Wimbledon, to- day, for the Kelapore cup, the Canadian team was beaten by 24 points. The weath- er was fine. In the prize shooting, to-day, for the Elcho Shield, Scotland won, Ireland being second and England third.

Inthe Commons, to-day, Mdward Jen- kins, Liberal member for Dundee, asked if the Government, considering their present friendly relations with the Government of France, would not prohibit. the erection of statue to the Prince Imperial at Westmins- ter Abbey. Sir Stafford Northcote replied that the imatter rested solely with Dean Stanley, as the Government attached no politieal significance to the movement.

Ea

The Letellier Matter once More.

(From the SE. Joh Sun.)

Well, the Grit agony is aboutover!) Our friends know the worst ‘‘at last.” Mr. Letellier is dismissed and Dr. Rebitaille succeeds him as Governor of Quebec! What our Grit contempories have all along pre dicted would not happen has just happened. What the Home Government would never consent to, has come about. What the Governor General would never dv, the Governor General has done, and done quick- ly. Mr. Letellier has been removed fiom the Governorship of Quebec, and the sky has not fallen. Mr Letellier leaves Spencer Wood ; yet no earthquake shakes this Dom- inion to its foundations. Our rivers still run to the sea ; onr soil still yields its products ; trade is not mere unsettled than before, and even Grit editors have not been startled into an improvement in the moral tone of their journals.

That the Dominion Government has the power to dismiss a Lientenant Governor, and that the power resided nowhere else, will now be accepted as axioms of constitu- tional law. ‘Ths Dominion Parliament and the Dominion Government have laid down this principle and the Imperial Govern- inent has frankly conceded. — It is no longer an open question. It is settled, and settled for as long as the Dominion shall last. The point on which there will be differences of opinion is as to whether Lieutenant Governor LL fiable. The facts of his inisconduct, fairly considered, can afford only one reply. Gov- ernor Letellier is dismissed “for cause.’ The canse lay in his abuse of the office to which he had been appointed. He was ap- pointed to a non-partisan office. He was to act as umpire between contending Par- ties. It was his duty to hold the scales in so even a balance that neither political

varty in the Province or Dominion should now to which side he inclined. While in this position he could,

' ability, have performed all the duties of his office acceptably to all the people, not being - chargeable with or suspected of using his official position to further the interests of one portion of the people to the injury and And only | while so conducting himself could he hepe to retain the confidence of the Legislature ov the people, or to execute the wishes of ‘the General Government whose authority ‘and influence would be lowered by any other line of conduct.

Did Mr. Letellier pursue this non-parti- Was his conduct such as to inspire the whole people of Quebee with confidence’ Did he execute his commis- sion in its true spirit? He did none of these things. At a critical moment in the life of the DeBoncherville Ministry, he took advantage of lis position to overthrow them. Like another Judas, he betrayed his Ministry with a kiss. While professing to give them his utmost confidence, he was deliberately digging a pit into which he in- tended to precipitate them at the most fav- orable moment. Under the paltriest ex- cuse he dismissed them, when they were supported by two-thirds of the House of Assembly and two-thirds of the Legislative Conncil, and nominally on a question which affected but a limited number of the con— stituencies. After dismissing his old Min- isters he threw himself actively inte the service of his new Ministry, who had been for many years fellow laborers with him m the so-called Liberal party of Quebec. He canvassed personally—-he, the Lieutenant- Gogernor of Quebee—for supporters ef the new Government, and made his official in- fluence tell in all directions. After the elections showed that the new Government had failed to elect a majority of imembers the Governor became a ‘“‘ whip” for his new ministers, and approached Con- servative members and ‘* independents ” on the subject of supporting the Govern- ment—which, of course, simply meant a desperate attempt to secure a majority of the House to support his own improper and unconstitutional conduct. In other ways, as well, he played the partisan, and so far was his partisanship carried that the man who should have been the arbitrator be- tween contending Parties beeame as thor- oughly a portion ef the ‘* Govermment machine ’ in Quebec as the Minister who conducted corrupt negotiations to secure suppert from the opposite side, or the *‘whip” whose duty it was to see that the members were in their’ seat to yote. It is even stated that the Governur was. himself a party to the negotiations which resulted in the purchase of Mr. Turcotte, the price being the Speakership and the payment of some old claims against the Government. With such a record, the Governor forfeited the eontidenee and respect of 2 large ma- jority of the people of Quebec, and as claimed, by the majority of the Dominion Parlidment, his usefulness in Quebec Province was at an end. No unpreju- diced’ person can fairly weigh the facts of this case without coming to the con- clusion that if ever the Dominion Gov- ernment ceuld be justified in removing an official of its appointing, it was in the case of Mr. Letellier. Had Mr. Tilley, in New Brunswick, or Mr. Howe or Mr. Archibald, in Nova Scotia, or in Ontario, Mr. Howland or Mr. Crawford, followed the bad exainple of Mr. Letellier in Que- bec, we would have an outery from the people of those Provinces which would have brought about the speedy removal of ihe obnoxious Governor. It is well known that these gentlemen, although * pass- ing directly from the con- flicts of Parliament to the Governor's chair, were never suspected of the slightest political bias while filling the posi- tion. Mr. Letellier was an inglorious ex- ception, «nd his misconduct has been mark- ed by ifs proper punishment.

Ve are truly glad that the Parliament of Canada, the Government of Canada, the Home Government and the Governor-Gen- eral are so thoroughly in accord in the mat- ter, and we have no doubt that the lesson will be of great value to the public service.

The Rev. J. S. Anderson resigned his pastorate of the Methodist Church at Char- les City, lowa, without any apparent reason, and mysteriously disappeared, leaving his wife and children behind. Mrs. Hayes, wife of a church trustee, had previously gone away, ostensibly to visit relatives, and her stay was strangely prolonged. People remembered that the clergyman and sister Hayes had been very attentive to each other, and it was soon surmised that they had eloped. They were traced to where they had established a home for themselves under assumed names, Ander- son had decided to change his profession te that of medicine, which he had studied. The pair were arrested, and in the woman’s trunk were letters written by the clergy- man before the elopement. One passage was as follows: “Oh, but I did have such a sweet dream of you last night! I could feel your kiss, and oh! how good it did feel; and I awoke to find it only adream. I got up, knelt down, and in deep earnestness asked our father to make you sleep sweet- ’tly.” In another letter he tells sister Hayes how he had just informed his wife that he no longer loved her, and added : ‘Oh, my precious jewel, how do [ wish I could be with you to-day, and held you in my arms and caress and kiss you and feel your warm, sweet lips applied to mime; but, God bless you ! I must close this letter and prepare a asermon for next Sunday. Yours, with leye and kisses,
