The Dead-Lock in Quebec.

Tux following telegram from our own correspondent in Montreal, was received too late for insertion last evening :

MoNTREAL, June 3. —dJoly moved ‘Turcotte for Speaker. Chapleau offered no 0} position; but made a speech denouncmg L urcotte, and charging him with having sold himself. Pur. eoute coukl make no reply. Vote taken—33 for Government, including Turcotte and Price; 32 for Opposition. The House is, therefore, a tie, with Speaker in the chair. It was not known until the House opened that Turcotte had deserted, and Price’s vote was a rreat surprise. He was elected a Conservative, and was always considered an upright man. Turcotte attended two Opposition caacuses, and made strong pledges of alliance to his party. But he was bought by Joly, his price being high. Several other Conservatives were approached with offers of money and position if they would desert. But they refused. It is not thought now that the Government will last. ‘The Opposition expects to carry a reso- lution condemning the Licutenant Governor.

It now remains to be seen whether or not corruption will finally triumph in Quebec. Even after the defection of Turcotte and Price the Government have not a majority jn the House of Assembly, and it is by no means certain that they will be sustained. But when Price and Turcotte fell it is to be feared that others will also fall. Here is a letter that Turcotte wrote during the late contest :—

Turer Rivers, 2nd April, 1878.

Mr. Editor,—I have never authorized the statement made in the newspapers that I will support the Joly-Bachaud Government; | have never even thought of such a thing. I ap-

ed to the electors as a Conservative, and consequently I will be opposed to the Joly Administration.

My political principles and opinions have not changed. They were those which I had in March, 1876, when the city did me the honor to elect me. I have then no new pro- gramine to present to the electors. My past conduct is the best guarantee of my tuture conduct in the House.

Yours, &c., Antuur Turcotte,

Comment is needless ! -__>-

Father Matthew.

In Market Hall last evening D. Banks McKenzie gave a graphic account of the life and work of Father Matthew—ireland’s truly great Temperance Apostle. Mr. Mc- Kenzie’s glowing and humorous recital - of Father Matthew's adventures at times touched the hearts of his auditors, and at times moved them to laughter. On the whole, the lecture was an excellent one. We are sure that the people throughout the towns and villages of the Island, in which Mr. McKenzie proposes to deliver it, will give Mr. McKenzie a cead mille fuilthu and bumper houses.

Hon. A. A. McDonald presided. At the close of the lecture, while conveying the thanks of the audience to Mr. McKenzie, he related a remarkable incident illustra- tive of the good and enduring work per- formed by Father Matthew. Some time ago the services of a priest were required at the bedside of a sick man,who lived near the city. None of the priests happened to be in town; and his Lordship the Bishop ans- wered the call. After performing the sacred office of the Church, His Lordship remarked that he thought a little good wine would do the man good. But the man said he had never drank a drop of liquor since the year ’38, when he took the pledge from Father Matthew—and he did not intend to do it then, even though the doctor had ordered it, and His Lordship recommended it, and it might add years to to his life. The good Bishop reminded him that an exception was made in Father Matthew’s pledge for sickness. ‘‘ Oh,” but answered he, *‘ when I knelt down with four thousand others and took the pledge, I made no exceptions ai ali, at all;” and he refused the wine to the last.

At the beginning of the present year the British House of Commons consisted of :— Blood royal, 5; archbishops, 2; dukes, 21; marquises, 20; earls, 128; viscounts, 32; bishops, 25; barons, 261; or a total of about 25 per cent. more than at the death of George IV. Of the barons who responded to the first writs of summons to Parliament, issued more than six hundred years ago, the descendants of two only now sit in the up-

“Incidence of the Tariff.”

ey

Tue speed with which France has pro- vressed from a state of poverty and debt to one of wealth and independence, is attract- ing comment in England. The Interna- tional Exposition now being held at Paris is evidence of her ample resources and ad- vanced developement. The view she pre- sents to-day has a more solid background than the pomp and show displayed by her in earlier times. ‘To the industry and en- terprise of the people has been added the supervision of a prudent Government. The distance between the majesty of power—the court—and the power itself—the people— has been geeatly bridged over. The pro- gress of knowledge among the pesantry has led to a recognition of their rightful place which was quite ignored before. France, in short, has entered on a new career of national prosperity.

For this prosperity it is not hard to seck out the causes. The terms exacted by Ger- many, instead of dispiriting the people, ap- peared to rouse them to mightier efforts. They determined to practice a thorough economy, in order to add to the public credit. They resolved to live, if need be, within themselves, and make a full trial of their resources. This have they done, and they have good reason to be proud of the result.

Mr. Cartwright’s maxim that the condi- tion of a country has little to do with the arrangement of its tariff will not hold true when applied to France. It is certain that there have been protective duties levied on articles produced in France. It is certain that the country has made rapid improve- ment wnder those duties. And it is equally

certain that between these two things there

i has been a close connection.

There are persons in Canada who wish to carry out a policy of Free Trade, so far as that is possible ; and they accept the pres- ent scale of duties as the nearest approach to it that can be made. There are others, again, who believe that it would benefit this Dominion if a judicious revision of the tariff were adopted. The former party confess to repeated deficits, and admit their inability to prevent them The latter party propound a plan that cannot have worse, and may have better, results.

Now, what are the merits of these differ- ent views? Intheory, allare Free Traders in the full meaning of the term. The world is fast throwing off its belief in the isolation of land from land. The surplus products of one country are usually the complement of the products of another. ‘To hinder this interchange of commodities is to retard the world’s weal as a whole. Hence any hindrance whatever 1s just in that pro- portion an obstruction. Such is the creed of Free Traders. But is the inference cor- rect !

The advocates of this too often forget that what is best for a perfect society may not answer the purposes of life in one not evenly developed. Take a parallel case: Peace is a thing whose glorics outshine the splendors of war. Who would not rejoice to see the day when men shall no longer make ready the battle?) When nations shall seek to rise, not on the ruins of conquered peo- ple’s, but on the growing greatness of jus- tice and philanthrophy! We have reason to think that such will yet be the case. This ;s the ultimate principle to which the world But we do- not find that those countries who hold it most strongly cast off their armies. We do not find them less ready or skilful for the fight. The very contrary is the fact. Nor do they belie their principles by so doing. Such an act on their part is a necessity, simply because other nations still repose their trust in con- quest and slaughter. They feel that the only restraint on uncivilized greed is the fear of robbery, and this fear has to be kept alive.

Just so it is with trade. If others rob us of our manufactures and seek to monopolize our trade, where is the wrong in defence ?

is marching on.

+ <a -_—

THE fishing business has now commenced around the coast. A Tignish correspond- ent of the Alberton Pioneer writes : ‘“The

herring fishery around the shore was a partial failure, but last week the trap be- longing to Mr. J. H. Myrick was laid down and almost immediately filled. After tak- ing out all they wished to salt themselves (about 1,200 bbls.) the rest were offered to the public at a low price, and the oppor- tunity of procuring bait was immediately seized on, and boats from far and near have made things look lively around that locality. This is a great boon to the fishermen, as these fish being very small could not be caught in the ordinary nets. The set-line fishing, as far as prosecuted, has also been very successful,—the codfish being plentiful and larger than seen for years. One which was taken on Saturday contained in its maw no less than sixty-four herring, and weighed, when dressed,sixty pounds; Mack- erel have also appeared on the coast, and the indications are allin favour of an ex- cellent summer’s fishing, in consequence of which amore hopeful feeling prevails and people’s faces gain in breadth what they lose in length.

CAUGHT AT LAST.

The Robberies of Years Unearthed. (From the Halifuce Herald. )

three years robberies of

For the past houses in that portion of Halifax lying north and south of Quinpool Road, have

been very frequent—too frequent, indeed

for the people who have suffered, and more frequent than, at first glance, might appear creditable to the Police. But the police were not at all remiss in their duty, as the sequel shows, for though convinced that they knew the guilty parties the law has to be observed—and the tawritten law that a man’s house is his casile,is one which ham- pers the police greatly.

As each successive robbery was reported to the City Marshal, he detailed officers to work up the matter—and more than once clues obtained by Hutt, Power and others, individually and collectively, have pointed in the direction of a house on the Quinpool Road, owned and occupied by Mr. Thomas Quinn, a well known stone mason, and to all intents a respectable man—so respect- able, indeed, that the Marshal hesitated be- fore the issuing of a warrant, preferring to exhaust every means to find out for a cer- tainty who was the guilty party.

In the meantime the robberies continued to be committed. well guarded were visited, and goods taken from under the very noses of the sleepers— from under the feet of savage bull dogs. The articles taken were endless in_ variety. Wines, ales, and liquors; dry goods, cloth- ing, boots, shoes, silver ware, sewing ma- chines, harness, crockery, provisions, bed- ding, carpets—in fact, a little of everything (a great deal of everything) which goes to make up a well-appointed gentleman’s resi- dence.

Of all these robberies the citizens knew little, for in the interests of justice the facts were kept from the public. This was the ease with the latest, which occurred on Satrday night at the residence of Mr. Hicks, at the Bower, when some silverware, a sewing machine, and other articles were taken.

Deferring no longer, the City Marshal told Mr. Hicks against whom to swear out a search warrant; the warrant was taken, and on Monday afternoon police Sergeants Power and Meagher, with policeman Col- lins, visited Quinn’s cottage. Mr. Quinn was absent from home, but the first glance at the interior fixings satisfied the officers that they were in the right place for the stolen goods, if not for the stealer of them. Leaving Collins in charge, Powers and Meagher went to the quarries at the Arm, where Quinn was at work, and told him he was wanted, and for what? He asked : ‘‘Where’s your proof?” and upon being told that they had been through the house, he said: ‘*‘Well, the things are there, but 1 didn’t steal them.” Well, perhaps, he didn’t.

He is now at the polite station, and piled up in the City Marshal's office is the largest stock of miscellaneous articles for household use to be found outside of any general store in the city. Space forbids the publication of an inventory of the articles. Owners may go down, and identify their property, the greater portion of whichis in a fair state of preservation, for though some of the boots and clothing are a little worn,the silverware, &c., has been well preserved. Parcels of spoons and knives were found carefully put away in paper, silver cruet stands neatly wrapped up and stored away from ‘‘ moths and rust,” and bed clothing. pictures, &c., bearing evidence of having been we'l looked after.

All the goods supposed to be stolen were not removed from Quinn’s house on Mon- day night; but oiticers were left in charge. Large numbers of empty ale and wine bottles ,were found, showing that the liquids once therem contained had been put to their legitimate uses, if not by their legi- timate users.

Mr. Quinn is about fifty years of age, has a wife and seversl children; and his arrest on such a charge will probably surprise a great many people—while it will relieve the fears of a great many more, some of whom have grumbled at the police authorities, in ignorance of the hardships undergone by some of the officers on more than one tem- pestuous night in “ laying for’ the suspect- parties.

In Re Thomas (Quiinn.—Yesterday large numbers of peopl« visited the City Marshal’s office to view the spoils obtained at Quinn’s Cottage, on the road which is now more than ever Quinn-jwool. (It may not be gen- erally known that the road takes its name from the family of which Thomas is such a distinguished member.) The greater por- tion of the property has been identified, though there is some wailing for undiscoy- ered articles of value which have, no doubt, been long ago converted into cash. Anoth- er truck load of stuff was brought in yester- day, including some ingots of silver, which had been got in the cellar, where they were buried, and where also was found a pot in which to melt the valuables. Quinn was brought up yesterday for examination, and remanded until Monday.

An Astonishing Fact.

A large proportion of the American people are to day dying from the effects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result of these diseases upon the masses of intelli- gent and valuable people is most alarming, making life actually a burden instead of a pleasant existence of enjoyment and use- fulness as it ought to be. There is no good reason for this, if you will only throw aside prejudice and skepticism, take the advice of Druggists and your friends, and try one bottle of Green’s August Flower. Your speedy relief is certain. Millions of bottles of this medicine have been given away to try its virtues, wit. satisfactory results in every case. You can buy a sample bottle for 10 cents to try. Three doses will releive the worst case. Positively sold by all drug-

gists on the Western Continent.

Sir, L have always been of the opimon that one competent engineer should have the over- sight of all the fire engines im the city, and not for the city to depend on the Chief, whose ¢ uty is to give orders at fires, and who knows noth- ing about a fire engine, nor could he be ex- pected to, although a good man to purchase and provide apparatus for the good working of Altho’ “Big Donald has proved a failure, let us have two or three smaller Donald’s of home production (from the ruins of “Big Donald”); nave them distri- buted about the city, or send some one to get a complete electrical fire alarm, such as they have in St. John, N. B., which would be of essential service. As we are now consti- tuted, not one-third of the city hear the alarms of fire. At the time of last week’s fire not a fourth of the city heard the alarm ; “‘little” Donald on the engine house near King’s Square, dil his best, and so did “Big Donald.” The latter was not heard by dozens of persons in Queen Street. Let us have something that can be depended on at the time of fires, in re- gard to alarms, engines, and_ efficient men. The engines have for years past been neglected, and left to persons to look after them that indeed know little or nothing about what they have todo. These few hints I trust will be taken into consideratioa by the City Fathers and prompt action taken to improve what has been so neglected and injured for want of skill, and the public jeopardise.

Statements Made by Nobeling.

LOTS CAST AS TO WHO SHOULD SHOOT THE EMPEROR.

3ERLIN, June 4.— Dr. Nobeling was known, while in Dresden, as an inoffensive, quite and diligent student of highly cul- tivated manners but a pronounced Demo- crat.

Before losing consciousness, Nobeling was examined in presence of his mother. He admitted that he earnestly sympathized with the Ultramontanes and Socialists ; that he had accomplices, and that though he had no reason to spare them, he would mention no names just then.

He owned that the office of shooting the Emperor had devolved upon him by draw- ing lots, and that he believed it would be to the public interest were the head of the State removed.

The German public have, therefore, to confront the terrible possibility of the ex- istence of a Socialist conspiracy to take the Emperor's life, in which men of rank and culture are concerned.

The examination of Nobeling cannot be continued on account of his precarious con- dition.

A letter has been found which shows that Nobeling corresponded with German Social Democrats in England.

FHE CAMPATEN,

Facts fer the Electors.

In the coming elections it is of the greatest importance that every elector should be well informed on matters connected with the Ad. ministration of the past five years. With this object in view, a series of political tracts are being issued from the Gazerrs office at Mon- treal, which are carefully prepared, moderate in tone, and the statements and charges con- tained in them are verified in all cases by reference to official documents and blue-books submitted tc Parliament. No greater service can be done to any constitrency than a gen- eral circulation of the facts contained in these papers, and the,publishers have wisely placed them ata price that brings them within the reach of every Conservative Association, and every constituency. We advise our leading politicians in every school section to send for a hundred of these tracts and distribute them carefully where they will be read. It is the best way to convey a clear and concise view of the political situation, and must result in bringing about an intelligent verdict in the coming elections. There are many politicians who are unable to spare time from their busi- ness to take an active part in the canvass" but such men can well afford to spend a dol lar in circulating information among their neighbors.
