Pope posed as candidates. Sinclair were also proposed. said he had not yet made uphis mind to con- test the election. No division was had ; and the chairman is reported by the Putriot to have declared, when the ‘‘ayes” and “‘nays

were called, that he did not know which party had a majority. A reliable- person who was present informs us that about two- thirds of the meeting favored the Liberal- Conservatives. This result, in the old time ‘¢ Laird stronghold,” is very gratifying. An extended report of the meeting -which we expected to have laid before our readers this evening —is, by some means, delayed. It will probably be at hand on Monday.

City Council.

A MEETING ot the City Council was held on Friday evening. There were present—Coun- cillors Peake, Harris, Smith, Quirk, Morris, Stumbles, Davy, Hooper, Byrne.

A letter was read from Mr. John Sinnott, asking that the sum of $1,030 be a lvane ed on account of centract for constructing !owna Wharf.

The same was, on motion 0! Smith, seconded by Councillor Quirk, ad- vanced. * aoe

A number of small bills were then read ana, on motion, ordered to be paid. ee

Councillor Hooper produced the bill that had been rendered to the Committee of the St. Paul’s Church Bazaar for the use of tne Market Hall, and objected to the amount, as it was exhorbitant—being 3550.

Councillors Harris and Davy said other churches paid the same amount for the use of Hall, and they could not see why St. Paul's Church should be favored by a reduction.

On motion of Councillor Harris, seconded by Councillor Quirk, it was resolved, that in future the Market Hall be rented to the differ- ent Church Denominations of the city, for holding Bazaars, at $7.50 per day and night. Carried.

Councillor Stumbles gave notice that at the next special meeting of the Council he would introduce a by-law to repeal the By-law relating to the T'ax on Horses and Carriages.

Councillor Morris asked permission to place a pump in the well at Victoria Park. ‘The per- mission was on motion granted, and the pump erdered to be so placed immediately. __ 5

oses.

Hethen moved that a special meeting of the City Council for the purpose of the afore- said be called on Wednesday, the 12th inst., at 7.30. Carried.

Tue Halifax Herald says its readers re- member with what a volley of sneers the Chronicle greeted the resolutions of a cer- tain Liberal-Conservative Association in Ontario. It would seem from the sub- joined that Earl Beaconsfieid did not regard those resolutions as worthy only of sneers and ridicule :—

10 Downtnec SrrReer, Whitehall, Sth May, 1878.

Sra,—Lord Beaconsficld has had the honor to receive, through the Lord High Chancellor, your letter of the (5th ult., forwarding a copy of certain resolutions passed at a meeting of the Conservative Association of the North Riding of Bruce County, Ontario, approv- ing of the policy of Her Majesty's Gov- ernment in the present aspect of Kuropean affairs.

In accepting with sincere gratification these resolutions, the Prime Minister rejoices to feel that one bond of loyalty, patriotism and affec- tion unites this country and her colonies, and that the honor of the British Empire is as sacred to Canada as to England.

The sympathy evinced by the Dominion has touched the hearts of Englishmen, and Eng- land may well be proud of the spirit which animates the people of her distant colony.

1 have the honor to be, Yours faithfully, (Signed) ALGERNON ‘TURNER. To Alexander McNeill, Esq. ———<— es ey Be -_—

A CONSIDERABLE amount of excitement has prevailed during the week among Hali- fax Householders. ‘The thieves’ warehouse, | discovered in the vicinity of the city, was found well stored witha splendid and varied

‘*he Quebec Legislature.

ronto Mail. )

.

M. Tureotte, member for Three Rivers, was yesterday elected Speaker of the Legis lative Assembly of Quebec by his own vote. Io enable this vote to be thus operative, however, it was necessary to soduce on more member from the Opposition, and this member was found in the person of Mr. Price, member for Chicoutimi. lected as M. ‘Turcotte was, a pledged opponent of the Coyernment, we must say we feel some sur- nrise at the course he has seen fit to take. As to Mr. Price, we could not be more astonished if M. Chapleau himself had been ‘n his shoes when the Division was taken There never was a whimper of

yesterday. ; He will be found in

of a doubt as to him. the Opposition list of members-elect in every Grit paper in the country. Not one of them classed him even Independent. He was absent in France when elected, and only returned to Canada in the last steamer, arriving in Quebec just in time to be in- duced to vote for M. Turcotte. Whether his vote on the Speakership is to be taken as a declaration of his allegiance to M. Joly, we do not know, but it is to be hoped, for his own sake, it means no more thana personal attachment to M. ‘Turcotie.

We have pleasure in pointing to the vote as bearing on our classitication of members. lt is now evident that the Opposition elect- ed 34, and the Gevernment only 31 mem- bers. M. Joly stands to-day in the very unenviable position of not having a majo- rity of even one in the Assembly, although the Grit press were bold in making the as- sertion that he would have a majority of five or six. He found himself in sucha hopeless minority that he was driven to the desperate strait of nominating a member of the Opposition as Speaker, and then secur- ing another Oppositionist to insure his nominee’s election. Not a single man among the three or four who were alleged by the Grit-Rouge press to be shaky in their fealty to the Conservative Party left it in the day of trial. M. Joly received his temporary triumph by a defection which, ve venture to say, was never dreamt of by any one in the Conservative regarded as among the possibilities.

A temporary triumph, we have said. That it is indeed. With large means of bribery and corruption in his hands, M. Joly did not seruple to follow the example set him by the leader of the Dominion Gov- ernment. They are both standard elevators, both very good, highly morally, and essen- tially respectable men !

A Few Points Worth Noting.

1. 4+ Toronto the other day.Mr. McKenzie said that ‘‘the necessities of our revenue compelled the Government to impose a higher duty than the late Government im- posed, and he had not introduced I’ree Trade, although he was charged with having a Free Trade policy.” Yet McKenzie’s followers here are shouting Free Trade.

2. Remarking upon Mr. McK enzie’s anti- Free Trade utterances in Tronto, the Hali- fax Herald asks :—“‘‘ If he has not a Free Trade policy, what position does his Free Trade followers in the Lower Provinces oc- cupy in supporting him?! If he has nota Free Trade policy, what sort of a policy has he? Incidental Protection? If so why do not his free Srade followers desert him ?

3. At London, Ont., in 1870, McKenzie said :—‘* While the finances of the Pro- vince were formerly administered by one Minister, we have now four. One, who is supreme in Hincks; the other, Tilley, is Minister of Customs; Morris is Minister of Inland Revenue, and another gentlemen is Receiver-General. Now, what I contend for 1s. that there is no necessity for this amplification of the Cabinet. There is no necessity for a Cabinet of thirteen! The United States has a population of forty millions, a vast territory and vast concerns to manage — still they get along with seven Ministers, and one Secretary of the Treasury conducts all the financial affairs.” Yet Mr.

4. Says the Kingston Daily News :— ** Visitors to the Penitentiary Wharf can see loads of rust and scraps of steel rails which Mr. McKenzie purchased at a great loss to the country. The rails have sufler- ed very much by exposure. It is astonish- ing to see large pieces that have fallen cfi

them. Specimens are to be seen at this office. The rails are now being removed.

Where they will spend the coming winter heaven only knows. The job has cost the country millions of dollars.”

On Tuerr Merrize.—There was, or was to be, on Tuesday night, a woman’s indig- nation meeting held in New York to pro- test against the utterance of Judge Hilton in accounting for the failure of the Women’s Hotel in that city. The women in Brook- lyn sympathise with their New York sis- ters, and gave expression to their feelings by signing the agreement following :

** Until five years after date we shall not buy anything at Stewart's store, in conse quence of the unseemly insinuations regarding the management and failure of the Women’s Hotel, hoping that in that time the managers thereof may better learn the characteristics of

collection of plunder,which has been carried by the cart-load for inspection to the Po- lice Station, which has been thronged by people in search of lost property.

Mr. Stewart could have hardly thought that his philanthropic project would be pro- ductive of such results.

A writer in the London Truth says :— ‘* America is a country somewhat curiously constituted, and Morrissey was a man pos- sessed of a good deal of natural humor. The last time that I was in his New York establishment he discussed with me for one

hour upon the relative merits of free trade, and protection, while in another part of the |

room the game of faro was being played.”

The Gorman Conspiracy.

OT AGAINST THE GOVERN:

MEN’.

A DESPERATE PL It is extremely difficult to obtain authentic information concerning all the ramifications of the conspiracy, but the fol- lowing statements may be taken as approxi- mately eorrect: The present condition of Europe has given hope to the revolutionary leaders, who for a long time have been waiting for a favorable moment to strike a decisive blow. Intense discontent pervaded Germany, but there was the danger of the outbreak of a general European war. In the ¢lamour.of military and dynastic tri- umphs the wrongs of the people would be lost sight of ; even the sufferers by the war would be dazzled by its victories or cowed by the display of military strength that would everywhere be made. It was deemed necessary in the secret councils of the revolutionary leaders to strike a blow that would stun the crowned heads and cause them to retreat from their purposes. It is believed that ata consultation of these leaders there was a discussion as to what sovereign should be chosen as the victim. Queen Vietoria was ruled out because she was a woman, and because it was said by the English members of the Cabinet that, were the revolution successfully started on the Continent, England would feel it as vell under the Queen as under a republic. King Humbert was proposed, as was also King Alphonso, but it was agreed that these were too insignificant victims. Nothing was to be done in France ; she is Republican now, and will be Communisiic soon. Germany.was the chosen field of ac- tion, and the Emperor was by necessity to be the victim. It will not be long, it is thought, ere the whole details of the con- spiracy will be made known, although it is said that the authorities are now disposed to keep everything secret.

Serious Accusation.

In the Portland (St. John) Police Court, on the 6th, before Police Magistrate Tapley, the preliminary examination of Arthur McClatferty was held, on an information charging him with ofiering $50 to Abraham Day to fire the house of the former on Ade- laide road, on the 2nd or 3rd inst. Abra- ham Day, on whose information McClafferty was arrested, testified that McClafferty ac- costed him last Saturday morning, and said he had a job for him. Day asked what it was. McClafierty did not say, but asked witness to meet him on Bridge Hill, Ade- laide Road, on Sunday morning, as he wished to have a private talk with him. Day overslept himself, and did not go. On coming out of his house, on Sunday, wit- ness met McClafferty, who asked him ‘‘what will you take and sell my house?” Wit- ness inquired what he meant by that. McClafierty answered, ‘‘burn it down.” Witness exclaimed—‘‘ What!” and looked at McClafferty to see if he was in his right senses. McClafferty said, ‘‘Tll give you

$50. It will pay you d—n well, and it will pay me better, for I have $1,300 insurance on the house.” Witness replied he would do no such thing—not for the $50 and 8800 to the back of it. McClafferty said he wouldn't be caught. He would have it all prepared. Gasoline would do it, and he would have it set by the chimney, where there was a couple of rat holes. Witness asked if he was sure he would get his insu- rance. McClafferty replied he felt sure he would. Then coming down the road McClafferty told witness to get a couple bottles of parafiine and put them in his pocket. Witness replied that he would have nothing to do with any such a scheme, and said to McClafferty that no one could set the house on fire as it was. They parted then, and witness was asked by McClafferty to meet him next day, Monday, on Adelaide road. Witness did not meet prisoner then, but about noon on Monday was again accosted by McClafferty, and he said this would be a fine night to do that, on account of the fire down in Indiantown.

MecClatierty asked witness to meet him down the road that evening about 7 o’clock.

Witness replied sarcastically, ‘‘Ll suppose so,” and walked away. Going out the road that evening, witness met McClafferty un-

intentionally. He was going to Ritchie’s whose house was next door to McClafferty’s. McClatferty, who was sitting in his window, beckoned to witness and asked him into the house to have a talk. Witness accompanied him into the house, and McClafferty open- ing a cupboard door said that would bea boss place to set it. McClafferty said to look at the ceiling, and witness ob: erved a hole there. There was a hole also ina corner of the cupboard. Witness said he couldn’t and wouldn’t do the like. Then McClafferty asked if he knew any one who would doit; if he thought young Hazlitt would doit. McClafferty asked witness to goand see Hazlitt, and tell him that he wanted him not to say what for. Witness said he had not time, that he had just come out to Ritchie’s for a jackserew to move the shed. McOlafferty asked him if he thought he conld see Hazlitt and asked where he lived. Witness said he did not know. Then coming out McClafferty wished wit- ness not to blow on him, and witness pro- mised not to. In parting McClaflerty said, ‘Pry and see Hazlitt and tell him that I

We xegret to find Mr. Richard Grant White, that vigilant guardian of the English language abusing his trust. In the June Atlantic he writes of ‘‘ stopping for some days” at a certain London inn. He should have said he ‘‘ stayed for some days.” He stopped at the hotel, and stayed for some days. ‘‘ Stopping” is the cessation of jour- neying, and is a matter of an _ instant. ‘* Staying” may be prolonged indefinitely. -—Churchiman.

The United States Tariff Bill, which was prepared by Mr. Wood and others with sv much care, and involved the labors of a large committee for so long a period, has been de- feated, and all the hopes that were founded on its passage this session of Congress have proved delusive. !ts defeat is scarcely to be re- gretted, for, while it relaxed in some respects, the high protective tariff of the United States, it did not go far enough to afford substantial relief. When achange in the tariff of the United States is made it will probably be a far more sweeping and liberal measure than that presented by Mr. Wood.—T7'elegraph.
