Hon. J. C. Pope’s Speech.
The Halifax Herald publishes the speech recently delivered by Mr. Pope in Market Hall, and remarks
“We publish this morning the speech cde livered some time ago in Charlottetown by Hon. Mr. Pope, M. P., for Queen’s, P. E. L, on the occasion of his return from Ottawa, It is an admirable thing in a member to summon his constituents after a Parliamentary session and explain to them his course on the events of the time, the votes he yave, and reasons which induced him to give them. Mr. Pope is a man with the courage of his opinions, and the ability to maintain them. Mr. Pope’s position at Ottawa is gne of which his con- stituents have reason to be fairly proud. No man Was more attentive--we speak from per sonal observation—to the business of the House; no man more readily gave up attrac- tive social engagements cea to attend to his duties; and no man was more respectfully treated by the House. We may go on to say that no man was more closely watched ; for he had five sentries placed constantly over him. it was a comical sight to see the excitement produced among the Committee of Five to the latter rose to
watch Pope, whenever speak. No matter on what subject he spoke, one alter another, Perry, Davies, McIntyre, Yeo and Sinclair,
pop up in protest or explanation. If Mr. Pope expressed an — that the moons of Mars were out of order, the Committee of Five woulkd severally rise to protest against this new outrage on ‘‘the people of Prince Edward Is land.” If Mr. Pope modestly suggested that the 49th parallel hac not been correctly drawn, the Committee of Five would shriek out in
rotest that this issue had not been raised be- tore the electors of Queen’s. We do Dr. Me- Intyre the justice of saying that he was the least obtrusive; the fact was that he could not make a speech unless he read it from the paper before him; and as it took him a few days to do it, Mr. Pope escaped the annoyance of his criticism till the occasion was passed. We venture to say that if Mr. Pope had remained silent during the session, not a single Prince Ei.ward Island member’s name would appear in Hansitrd; the sole aim of the other five be ing simply to play second fiddle, in Opposition, to Pope. Mr. Pope’s speech, given elsewhere, is a specimen of the way in which even a pro- nounced Free Trader looks at the* tariff ques- tions of the day, and so looking condemns the MeKenzie-Cartwright policy, and supports the policy of Sir John.”

Queen's Birthday Celebration.
THE SALUTE.
The salute was duly fired on Rotchfort Square by Major Pollard’s Battery. Quite unnecessarily the guns were placed under the very windows of some of our citizens. That a gentleman so urbane and usually so thoughtful as Colonel Gray should have per- mitted this periodical infliction is matter of surprise to his friends. We feel assured that the guns will in future be fired at Bat- tery Point. Even thongh the Russians should declare war, little good can be done by irritating the nerves of citizens who are sick and weak and shattering the windows of houses surrounding Rotchiort Square.
CRICKET MATCH.
A Cricket Match between *‘Foreigners” vs. *‘Natives” was played on Victoria Park yesterday. There was a large number of a ectators present; the weather was delight- inl and the ground fair. Fielding on both sides was good, especially long-stopping. The best batters of the ‘‘Foreigners” were Messrs. Liddell, Morrison and Finlay; and of “‘Natives” were Messrs. Hobkirk, B. Davies, Jy., J. A. Longwerth and Moore. The match resulted in a victory for the *‘Natives” by two wickets. Areturn match will probably be played on Saturday next. The following is the score :—

UPTON PARK RACES.
‘THe spring meeting at Upton Driving Park was held yesterday. The programme was small, though very interesting. Two exciting races took places—one a match for $100 a side, between the celebrated mares “Fairy” and Princess”; and the other, a purse, for which there were five entries. From one o'clock to three North River Road was alive with all grades of vehicles carrying passengers tothe grounds. The races were billed to take place at two o'clock, alihough at this hour there were but few signs of a start. On owr arrival at half-past two there was an immense con- gregation of gentlemen on the grounds, among whom we noticed Hon. J. C. Pope, F. T. Newbery, John Brecken and Neil McLeod, Esqs., Drs. Dodd and Stickland, and a very large sprinkling of ladies. The t-ack was in pplendid condition after the yoller passed over it. At three o’clock

‘Fairy’ and ‘Princess’ drove by the Judges stand and sped over the course, ap- parently to provoke bets.

Second Heat.—This was another good start “Princess” having a little the best of it. She went off her feet at the turn, and yielded first place to “Fairy.” ‘‘Princess” fell back and trotted very little for the first half. ‘Fairy’ led by fifty yards, and kept it until the finish, trotting the whole course without a break.
Third Heat.—**Fairy” took the lead, closely They trotted very handsomely to the quarter pole, when ‘‘Princ- ess went off her feet in an attempt to give “Fairy” the go-by. ‘‘Fairy” increased the lead, passing the half mile pole at a lively gait and holding a lead of fifty yards to the tinish. She passed under the wire amid the cheers of the spectators, and was the admiration of all— except those who had their money bet on “Princess.”
Fourth Heat.—‘ Fairy” again led, and showed much daylight between. From the quarter pole *‘Princess” made splendid chase until the three quarter pole, when she went off her feet and ran to the entrance of the home stretch. ‘‘Fairy” increased the lead, came down the home stretch easily, and passed the winning pole as ‘‘Princess” passed the dis- tance pole.

The horses in this race were all in good condition with the exception of ‘‘Deceiver,” who appeared on the track very delapidaced and stiff, after riding from Summerside yes- terday morning in the train. He was lame on the right hind leg; but notwithstanding this he won third prize.
First Heat.—On the tenth score, they went all off in a bunch, and trotted thus to the turn, when Queen took the lead, followed by Lady May, Deceiver, John H. Messenger, was provoked on having to score so many times. Queen kept the lead, and passed the half-mile pole, closely pursved by Lady May. Deceiver followed at some length. All trotted nicely to the three-quarter, when those in the rear galloped, in order to save their distance. On the home-stretch, Lady May spurted sharply, and was at Queen’s quarter on passing the distance post, but went in the air and cantered under the wire—a short dis- tance behind Queen—followed by Deceiver. Messenger Boy and John H. being distanced,
Second Heat.—Queen and May went off abreast with Deceiver followimny, At the turn Queen took the lead, but was shortly collared by May, who gave her the go-by, and kept the

Deceiver was four lergths in the rear.
Third Heat. —They got away together, ‘‘Lady May” te” ing a lead at the turn, which she yielded to Queen at the quarter pole. On the home stretch some splendid trotting was experienced, ‘‘Deceiver” making 2nd place hot for ‘‘May,” and ‘‘May” pressing ‘‘Queen”’ lightly for the fore. She did not succeed, and “Queen” passed the wire three lengths ahead.
‘ourth Heat.—‘‘Deceiver” got the best of this send off and lead to the quarter, when “Queen” collared him and passed to the front. “Deceiver” shortly fell to the rear, and left the contest to ‘*Queen” and ‘‘May.” This heat was trotted in splendid style, and on the home stretch there was a neck-and-neck strug- gle for first place between ‘Qeeen” and “May.” ‘Queen’ having held the first place, spurted gently, and came in a short distance akead, followed by ‘‘May” and “Deceiver.” SUMMARY.

POLITICAL NOTES.
At Hampton, on Saturday last, Messrs.
Wood and Irving (Grits) faced their con. stituents as nominees for a second term. In the course of his speech My. Irving was good enough to say -— ‘*‘\}l the people of Canada wanted was a certain amount of protection, and when those who required more than they had at present made known their wants,they would receive consideration. He x»nd his col- league, Mr. Wood, had always supported any measure which was of benetit to the manufacturers. ”
‘“‘He and his colleague, he meant, were out and out Protectienists—in Hamilton ; but they were not at all prepared to abandon Gritism.—Her. slerald.

The McCarthy Case--Some Notes and Queries.
( From the Moncton Tia ‘J
MceCarruy’s Moneys.
lt has been venerally supposed that Timothy MeCarthy deposited in the Bank of Montreal a considerable sum of money a few weeks be- fore leaving bome. This ipposition, however, is not eorrect. McCarthy did not deposit anything in the Bauk for some three months before Oct. 12. Instead of depositing, he withdrew $200 some three before he left, and this sum, in addition to the receipts of his inn and bar-room, has to be accounted for. When the theory that he had abseonded with a large sum of money was being pressed, it was stated that be had borrowed freely from his friends and taken their money with him ; but it does not appear that he needed to borrow, although it 1s said that, one person gave him $60,—whether as a loan or for bet- ting purposes we have not heard. it might be well if Mr. McCarthy's friends would direct their inquiries to ascertaining the extent of his cash receipts during the three months pre- ceding Oct. 12, and the manner in which his monies were expended during that period, and reach if possible something near the amount of money which he would have in his possession when he went to Shediac on the fatal evening of his death. The amount found on him was $207 to $210.
nee } VEUUKS
THE WATCHES, GOLD, ETC.
The current assertion that McCarthy when he left home wore a gold watch does not ap- pear to be correct. He wore a silver watch ; and a silver watch was found on his person. The silver case of this watch when taken from the body was quite black ; the gold chain was also black. The gold piece in the hip pocket had also turned black, and was at first sup- posed to be a copper cent. If the body was in the water all winter, ought the gold and silver in MeCarthy’s pocket, not being in contact with haser metals, to tura black * This is a point for the men of science to ponder.
THE REVOLVER, PIPE, ETC.
If we recollect aright, the revolver was found in the right-hand outside pocket of the overcoat, instead of in the hip-pocket, where it is generally carried by those who use such a weapon. It was said on the day the body was found that this revolver—a six-shooter—-had An expert ought to be able to say whether this loaded revolver has been in the water for seven or eight months. Then there is the pipe, in its leather case. It might be pres: to enquire if this case gives evidence of seven or eight months’ soaking in water ?
THOSE LETTERS FROM ABROAD,
Some time ago, it was given out, on suffi- ciently reliable authority, that letters had been received in Moncton from parties at a distance which conveyed the assurance that McCarthy was alive and well. A letter was received, for instance, from a party ia St. John who said he had just seen McCarthy ‘making tracks” for the steamer then leaving for Boston. Another letter was subsequently satd to have come from a party in Boston who knew McCarthy well and had seen him in Boston, and he was doin well. The strangest circumstance connectec with this feature of the ‘‘Mystery” is that no effort was made to get McCarthy brought back in order to clear the Osbornes. Now, as the writers of the letters must have been known and relied upon as truthful witnesses, it would be only right that they should be brought for- ward and made to explain their object in writ- ing statements which were wholly false. They ought to be able t» show that they are in no way connected wi!) McCarthy’s death, and to explain at whose-— if any ones—instance they sent forward such misleading representations. If, on the other ind, the letters are bogus; if the assumed iwthors have no existence (which we scarcely think possible), it is quite as important to diseover the real authors of the letters and their object in attempting to de- feat the ends of justice by placing the author- ities on a false scent.
A DETECTIVE NEEDED.
Matters have reached such a stage now that the service of a first-class detective—-the ablest that can be found---are absolutely called for, Mr. Edward McCarthy has been engaged for most of the last six raonths, in the face of op- position and other obstacles which would have crushed a man of l#s3 energy and perseverance, in seeking the eviderice necessary to establish | the fact and manner of his brother’s death. It is possible to watch every ‘movement which Mr. McCarthy makes and to know every per- son whom he interviews on the subject. Pri- vate enquiry is for him an impossibility, and the time seems to have arrived when private!
enquiry is absolutely necessary. ‘This can best be accomplished through detective agency. The ordinary police service is
not suited to the present state of things, even if it were admittedly able, which it is not. It is to be hoped that Mr. Tuck and Mr. Mce- Carthy will retain in their own hands the clues which they may now hold until they are enabled to extend their confidence to men of first-class ability who have had experience in this special field of detective service. The Government ought to authorize the employ- ment of such a detective without delay. : Ce ee
