JULY 8, 1878.

The Tignish Meeting.

Tus Tignish Meeting was a great triumph for the Liberal-Conservatives. Called by Mr. Perry, it was supposed that Mr. Perry and his colleague would, at least, have been nominated. But they were deliberately re- jected as candidates by an overwhelming majority of their constituents, and the can- didature of Hackett and Howatt was une equivocally endorsed.

Mr. Perry, in the course of his speech, made some extraordinary statements. That, with respect to the reduction of the Public Debt by the McKenzie Party, he after- wards withdrew ; but he substituted for it an equally false one. He said that the Me- Yovernment had reduced the an- nual expenditure. The fact is, that they have increased it from $19,174,600 in 1872-3—when they said the Liberal-Conser- agence-—

Kenzie

vatives were were wild with extrav to $23,519,000 in 1876-7. Mr. Yeo was

not so wide of the mark in his statements ;

but he failed to divert the minds of the au- the self-evident maccuracies

dience from which defaced Mr. Perry's speech. On the other hand, the addresses of Messrs. How-

att, Hackett, Kelly and Arseneaux seemed

to be just what the people wanted to hear. Mr. Hackett’s address was one of the most effective efforts we have yet heard. Mr. Hackett said that he would withdraw if the people wanted him to retain the seat he now holds as their representative ; but the people are all but unanimous that he should take the higher place forfeited by Mr.

Perry. Mr. Hackett also said he would withdraw, if Mr. We wlan saw fit to resign his stewardship and run

in the interest of the Party he has so ably supported in the Senate; but Mr. Hackett’s prospects are so bright, that it is not probable Senator Howlan will give his adversaries the chance to fill up the seat he now holds in spite of them. If Mr. Hackett’s candidature is half as well re- ceived in distant parts of the County as it is where he is known and respected for his worth, his election is assured. Mr. Howatt evidently made a good impression; and the unwarrantable attack made upon him by Mr. Perry and by the Collector of Customs at Alberton will materially assist him in his canvass among the intelligent, fair-minded people of the West.

What Messrs. Yeo and Perry will now do is hard to indicate. We should think that, having failed to secure a nomination at any of the meetings they have called, and _hav- ing. been signally defeated in their meeting held.at Tignish, they would listen to the dictates of prudence and withdraw from the fight. Yet they may haszard a verdict at the polls; and it would be well for Howatt and Hackett to be watchful and to follow up their recent successes by an active per-

sonal canvass.

Registration of Vvutes.

We understand that some doubt exists respecting the right of electors, qualifying upon. the Poll Tax, to be registered under such qualification, in cases where they have not paid the Poll Tax previous to the open- ing of the Court of Revision in this County, which commenced at Belle Creek, on the 18th of June last. A difference of opinion exists respecting the sittings of the Court of Revision. It is believed by many, that each sitting of the Court isa separate Court; while, on the the other hand, it is argued by some that all the sittings constitute but one term, commencing on the 18th of June last. It has been decided by the Judges that any voter in the County may register at either of those sittings, so long as he resides within the County. This being the case, the qualification of the voter and his right to register his vote, would be the same at each place where the Court is held, and a quali- fication could not be obtained by payment of poll-tax after the opening of the Court.

This time, however, the electors of the Fourth District were not to be hum- bugged, for they had formed the very cor- rect opinion that as a legislator Mr. Welsh was a failure, and that however well quali- fied he might be for managing the construc- tion of a schooner or the navigation of a raft, he was totally unfitted by nature and education to discharge the duties of a states- man. The technical informalities in his notice to the Speaker can scarcely be re- garded as a matter of accident. The Gov- ernment dare not open the Belfast District. The election of an Opposition candidate would be certain, and their own existence would be imperilled.

Yo the gods in the gallery, the an- nouncement that he will probably figure for another session, at least, in Parliament, is a matter of congratulation. They will still have opportunities of relieving the dull win- ter evenings by watching the antics of the erratic aborigine of Forty-nine, and of gratifying their appreciation of the ludicrous and grotesque by attending the gratuitous exhibitions of a second-class merry-andrew. —Com.

Beliveau Albertite and Oil Com- pany.

A PRIVATE LETTER received from the Man- ager of this Company has the following re- garding the late discoveries, which we pub- lish for the information of the various

stockholders in the city :—

The indications and conditions for im- portant veins of albertite in the large pit is such very lately as to induce one of the old albertite mining bosses, who has been nearly twenty years in their employ and is still there, to increase his stock in Beliveau.

3ut notwithstanding he and others are sanguine that we will reach a paying vein in the tunnels very soon, although any day may develop all we desire, 1 fear that we will first have to sink the pit deeper, as was first planned for; but a few months at most now will determine this. Now, in respect to the late discovery of albertite, although, so far, in an economical point of view, it is not much; but as an evidence of the exist- ence there of important or a paying vein or veins, together with the later discovery of its immediate connection with the albertite shales is conclusive. The vein now in ques- tion is near the centre of our eastern prop- erty, and is consequently about a mile east of the large pit, and appears to be a branch leading from the main vein, into which we are trying to trace and make a connection, when if in large masses it comes near the surface at all, would most likely be at such junction. This vein I have traced 400 yards; it strikes nearly north and south. Main lines run westerly. What makes this vein the more interesting we find it within | 50 yards of the average line for its exist- | ence, leading from the old mine to the east- | ern extremity of our property laid down on-

We understand the question has been raised before Judge Alley at one of the sittings, and he has reserved his decision.

This question, we assume, would only affect

parties in the City who register as poll-tax

payers.

As Mr. Richard Coady, Expressman, was this afternoon driving around the corner of Weymouth and Euston streets, his horse accidentally stumbled and broke one of his hind legs, which necessitated the shooting of the beast. We shall, no doubt, in a day or two see Mr. Coady with even a much better horse, as his energy is unbounded. This is a warning to all buyers of horses not to purchase animals that tangle their legs oa necessitate the breaking of them to get

them apart.

my plans three years ago. The vein first | ‘found was 18 inches from the surface, 3) inches thick; but have found it as high as 13 inches, and runs down in places to one and even less, similar to the char- ‘acter displayed at the old mine on a smaller scale. We discovered it in a lime rock not jat all flattering, until we had determined the (proximity of the shale, which we have proven, as we hoped, to Le but a thin bed 30 to 40 feet thick, laying horizontal and ‘unconformably over the new albertite for- ‘mations, and we will yet require to do some preliminary explorations here to determine the most desirable spot to sink. In conclu- sion, I fully expect that from 12 to 18 ‘months hence will find us shipping albertite.

CIVIC. T'o the Editor of the Kecaminer :

Sir, —An adjourned meeting of the electors of Ward 5. was held in MeKurmon & Fraser's carriage shop on Saturday evening. Address- es were delivered by several gentlemen, advo- cating the necessity of economy and retrench- ment in the management of City affairs, 80 that our present large taxes should not be further increased and become a grievous bur- den to the inhabitants.

After a lengthy discussion, it was decided to appoint a committee to draw up a platform of retrenchment, and also to confer with dele- gates from other wards in reference to the nomination of a cadidate for the office of Mayor. : 2

Messrs. Alexander Horne, Daniel Mckin non and Peter Halloran were appointed a com- mittee to report at next meeting.

The meeting was then adjourned, to moet in the same place on Thursday next at 8 o'clock, p. m. : B. BALDERSTON, Sec y.

Ch’town, June 8, 1875.

~ -<2>- - To the Editor of the Examiner :

Sir, —I read ‘J. McDonald’s” letter in your Saturday’s issue with much satisfaction. I entirely agree with him that the matter and the spirit of ‘‘ J, G’s” poetry, are most excel- lent, and I have heard it remarked by those competent to judge that his poem is the best piece of original poetry that has appeared in any newspaper for the last half century.

With your permission, | would point out two or three verses which I do not hesitate to say are entitled to a high place in English Literature. For instance, what can excel the beautiful pastoral allusion in the last two lines of the following verse :

A feithful shepherd should be loved

Who well attends his flock,

And never lets the fic Id be mowed

For fear it might b broke.

The mowing of a field, as you are aware, 1s not an uncommon occurence; and when it does take place, it is invariably followed by the most disastrous breaking.

There is also a keen polemcial thrust in the following verse. It isno secret whothe ‘‘wolt” iS No doubt the sheep will bleat for him

And miss him very much;

As he was always kind to them,

And sharp the w lf did w teh,

Sut the most beautiful verse in the whole poem, is that in which the talented author hardly does justice to himself; for we are sure that that this is not the firsttime he has wooed the muse. Ido not think that Tennyson has anything equal to it:

I never in my life before Attempted for to write

Toa D. D. on any score, So please excuse the lke.

| feel quite sure that the D. D., who our poet invokes, may well ‘‘excuse” the tender and beautiful lines. All I can say is, 1 would willingly exeuse any number of such should I ever be 80 fortunate as to have them addresed to me,

“J, G.” was probably so much enraptured with his theme that it has escaped his notice that he has given a somewhat unkind thrust at D. D’s Reverend Locum Tenens.

But now the flock is left to one » Whose voice they do not know.

Holy Scripture tells us that the sheep ‘‘know not” the voice of strangers, ‘“‘but they will flee from him.” I sincerely hope that this is merely a poetical exaggeration, and that the ‘“Hlock” will remain unscattered. However, I feel sure that ‘J. G.” intended casting no reflection upon any one, and I cannot conclude better than by quoting the following heart- stirring verse :—

You travelled here thro’ cold and storm,

While we remained at home, And you your duty did perform, And ne’er appeared to moan.” Yours truly, James McDona.p. July $8, 1878. — 2 090 ——_——

Luiberal-Conservative Meeting.

ENTHUSIASTIC AND UNANIMOUS NOMINATION,

According to announcement a meeting of the Liberal-Conservatives of the Southern and Western section of King’s County was held at the Public Hall, Montague, on Fri- day, the 5th inst., to nominate a Liberal- Conservative candidate from this section of the County to run in conjunction with Dr, Muttart.

The meeting being called to order by ap- pointing Thos. Annear, Esq., to the Chair, and the undersigned Secretary, it was— Moved by Wm. Poole, Esq., Lower Mon- tague, and seconded by Mr. Wm. Sullivan, of Sparrow’s Road, and John McLean, Esq., New Perth, and supported by Messrs. Angus McDonald, Lot 61, John McQueen, Union Road, Donald Beaton, Whim Road, Peter Cairns, Sparrow’s Road, Alex. Mce- Leod, Esq., Valleyfield, and numerous others representing the intelligence of the surrounding settlements :—

Resolved, That this meeting of the Liberal-

South, Murray River, &c., &e. The bust- ness of the meeting having been got through

ner, several sharp and telling points were made against the so-called Reform Party by A. C. McDonald and Dr, Muttart.

Dr. Robertson acknowledged his ignor- ance of Dominion politics, but promised the electors that onthe evening of the 10th inst. he would be ina position to instruct the electors on the intricate questions of Free ‘Trade and Protection, and at the same time made the startling announcement that he was, as yet, undecided as to whom he would support at the coming election.

The meeting having thanked the Chair- man for his impartial conduct in presiding, and three rousing cheers having been given for the Liberal-Conservative Party, the meeting adjourned,
