ON THE

Letellier Matter.

Mx. BrecKken said he thought that nearly everything that could be said on this sub- ject. had already been urged. The hon. member for Elgin—W. Riding--whohad just sat down had talked about gentlemen on this side of the House being drilled. He \Mr. Brecken) had not seen anything of the drill sergeant since he came into the House; out he thought that if supperting. a cause wit) out advancing an argument in its faver was an evidence of being drilled, the hon. gentleman who had jast taken his seat must uave been very recently in the company of the drill sergeant. He had listened with a great deal of pleasure to the speech which was delivered by the hon. member for East Quebee (Mr, Laurier). He had inore than pleased him; he had charmed, but not con- vinced him; and while he (Mr. Brecken) was listening to him he had almost forgot- ten that the hon. gentleman was opposed to iim. He (Mr. Laurier) had thrown ont a warping to this House to deal carefully with this c.se. He(Mr. Brecken) could hardly inderstand from the speeches delivered by hon. members on the other side £ the +House whether in their opinion they had or had not the right to» discuss this question. It appeared at, under the 59:h clause of the British North American Act, a Lieutenant Gover- nor may be removed by the Governor Gen-

ral in Council for cause assigned. He could hardly imagine that the hon. member or Quebec East (Mr. Laurier) was in -arnest when he stated that the cause to be assigned could only be applied to @ persona) itfence, and not toa politicalone, and that this fonse was not free to act with regard to the L'entenant Governor of Quebec. He (Mr. Brecken) had lived in a country vhich, in former days, had tyrannical! } vernors, and the representatives of the wople had had a little experience in open- ng and carrying on negotiations with the Jolonial Office. They had occasion, more han once, to send delegates to England, at onsiderable expense and great trouble, to iave their grievances redressed ; and, much 3 they deferred to and respected the “other Country and British statesmanship, hey had always looked forward to the time vhen they would have such a tribunal as shat now afforded them in the body of men a the House of Common3s—representing ‘he whole of British North A-nerica—to vhich to refer such cases. The Lieutenant Governor of Quebec was appointed by the Cab- net of the Dominion, which was only acom- nittee of this House. If this House had not he power of discussing such cases as that iow before them, and where the facts of he case justified them in coming to a reso- utio cansuring the Lientenant-Governor, th y were not entitled —were not qualified — vere not educated up to the point to fit hem to enjoy Responsible Government; an vdmission he felt sure hon. members on the )pposition side were not prepared to make. ‘he members of the Government were the servants of the people, who, through the slectorate of the Dominion of Canada ap- winted them to office. The Government rf Quebec were responsible directly to the seople ; bat the Lieutenant-Goveraor of Quebec was the servant of this Parliament, ind hon. members on the other side of the House, who called themselves Liberals, could not say that this House had no right to decide whether or not the conduct of Mr. Letellier, their servant, was constitu- tional. His hon. friend from Quebec (East) when he stated the term ‘‘ cause” applied to personal charges and not to political, did not sufliciently consider the charges made against the Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec. He (Mr. Brecken) did not agree in that opinion, and that was the vnly kind of argument pat forward by hen. members. on the other side of the Honse.. One point, and to his (Mr. Brecken’s) mind, and one which had not been raised by previous speakers, was that Mr. Letellier had placed himself in a position of personal antagonism to the views uf. a large and influential portion of the people of Quebec, led by a party of very distinguished statesmen im that Province. An election might be held there in six months hence, and, judging from present appearances, not at all improbable, and the men whe: the Lient. Governor of that Prevince had, as he (Mr. Brecken) con- tended, unconstitrtionally dismissed, might be returned as the constitutionai -advisers of his Honor, and he Would be bound to ae- cept then. Governor Letellier had, by the course he had pursued, greatly impaired, if not altogether destrofed, his usefulness as the head of the Executive of the Province of Quebec. If there was anything which the Colonial Office had- always im- pressed on Governors, it was that they should neither know friends or enemies among the public m-n with whom they had to deal. What would be the position of Mr. Letellier when he finds himself in open hostility. to men who -are not, at all un-. likely to be again called upon to advise him... He would quote an extract from the speech of Mr. Cardwell as reported in Eng- lish Hansard, vol. 182, page 621, in the

Vietoria, in reply toan hon, member of the British House of Commons asking that cer- tain papers be brought down relative to a dispnte between the two Houses of Legis- lature in the a

KR.

CHARLOTTETOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, MONDAY, MARCH 24, 1879. TR, BRECKEN'S SPEECH

NO 548,

| (Sir Charles Darling) conveyed to him, that the members of the former Executive Council slrould be deprived of the distinction they en-

joyed, because they presented a petition to their Sovereign praying for redress of griev- ances, which hée-(Mr. Cardwell) thought they

were justly éititled to, was couched im terms which rendered it impossible that the Governor

who employed that language and adopted that

course should be a safe guide to the colory or

an impartial arbitrator of differences in the

circumstances in which the Colony was

placed.”

He(M>. Br.cken) desired, for ene mo-

ment, to apply that principle to the case of Lieutenant-Gevernor Letellier. Could Mr.

Leteliier, in the future political contests in

Quebec, sct as an impartial arbitrator be-

tween the contending parties! No. He might safely assert that every charge that had been made by Governor-Letellier had

heen satisfactorily answered by Mr. De,

Boucherville, ex-Preimier of Quebec. He

had no feeling in the matter, and it appear-

ed when those ex part facto reasons, which had been advanced, had vanished into thin air, He had an advantage over many. hon.

members of approaching this matter, as an entire stranger, and without prejudice; and it struck him that Governor Letellier was a partisan; and, as he became a partisan,he ran counter to the advice that had always emenated from the Colonial Office. A Pro-

vincial Government must have no friend or no opponent, and must so act as to be in « position to associate on the most friendly and cordial terms with the statesinen of the Province over which he is placed, and by whom the people surrounded him. Had Lieut. Governor Letellier acted up to this? He did not exactly understand the hon.

member who had preceded him, and who bad stated that, under the 59th clause, the right of dismissal was given to the Execu- tive, while it was not given to the House, and therefore, it was irregular for them to discuss it. .He held that Lieut. Governors were servants of the House, and that the Cabinet occupies the same position to the House as the House did to the people. As far as he himself was concerned, he could see no difference between discussing the question now and discussing it after the Government had taken action upon it.

Some hon. member -had said; ‘‘ Are you soing to strip Governors of all their fune- tions and duties? Are they to be mere figure-heads?” That question had been answered by the hon. member for Fron- tenac, who pointed out what were the legit- inate duties and functions of Lieutenant Governors ; but he (Mr. Brecken) would way, better—far better—that Lieutenant (Governors should be “‘ figure-heads,” than that they should. be allowed to undermine the principles that we all prize, and that we will struggle to maintain, as did the people of Quebec to secure. The hen, member for South Htrron, though he attempted to lecture the Ministerial side of the House, had offered no arguments for his views. He made a number of strag- ziing remarks, but no single point. Th voting fer the motion, he believed he would b: aiding the people of Quebec to obtain a tribunal whose voice was the voice of power, and which should be enabled to put the vifending Lieut. Governor im his proper place. He should not have identified him. self with one or other of the political parties, but having held the scales of justice im- partially, and kept the mirror so bright and free from the dust of partisanship as to re- flect truly the views of the majority of the people, and have them clearly and distinct- ly made manifest.

Indian Troubles in Alaska.

MATERIAL BRITISH AID FOR A POORLY ARMED AMERICAN VESSEL.

San Francisco, March 16.—A despatch from Victoria says that the steamer Califor- nia arrived from Alaska this morning, with news that the Indians are preparing for war. H.M. ship Osprey and the United States cutter Walcott ,had reached Alaska. . The Chiefs received the Osprey cordially, but informed her commander that they could take the Walcott whenever they chose. The Walcott had gone to intercept a flotilla of hostile canoes which were on their way. to destroy the town of Sitka. The Osprey reinforced the Walcott with a number of marines and a Gatiing-gun. ‘The situation is alarming, and the Osprey will remain un- til relieved by an American man-of-war. The Sitka chiefs were given two hours to

roduce a certain female witness to the

rown murder. They pretended that the woman was absent, but produced her long before the time expired. She confessed to having seen Brown’s body after he had been shot twice. The body was then wrapped up in blatkets, weighted with stones, and thrown overboard. The Osprey had_ not been in port five minutes before. the Indians surrendered Brown’s gun, axe, books, &. The California has three wit- nesses to the murder on board.

Single Sculls.

On the 18th inst. Hanlan took his first }row on the Tyne. The Sportsman says the form he displayed was only moderate, as with his famous 28 stroke he did get any- thing like a first-class racing pace en his boat; but yesterday’s work cannot fairly accepted as a criterion, for Hanlan seemed to take snatters quite easily. There could be no doubt he is a finished scnller. If he proves as fast as he is clever in handl- ing his sculls, he will be well worthy the reputation he bears across the Atlantic. ‘Hawdon is now at Newbiggin for a week’s : feat, and returns to training on Monday.
