JANUARY 6, 1883.

Dr. Jenkins Appeal.

After Dr. Jenkins gave notice of bis} appeal to the Supreme Court of Cavada, it became the daty of Tux EXAMINER to euter am eghpbatif protest. We did so —not because we feared for the continu- ed success of Mr. Brecken who obtained | the greatest number of votes, for even in the highest Courts the suitor who is io right usually triumphs ; pot as he has r ediy stated, for the sake of“ berat- ing’ Dy, Jenkins, for it gives us pain to | stigmatize as they deserve the acts of one, #lip tegeivdd our warm support in the.eleetion ;. not that we apprehended that shecase; from: being carried before the highest Court of Canada, would be quoted as a precedent, for as the fact of a man in the wrong proceeding to the utmost extremity of the law against ove in the right who was his colleague and friend is without parallel, so it is in the highest degree improbable that another of like malignity will ever again come up fora hearing,—but because we thought it right to show to the people of Canada that the Liberal-Conservative Party here have nothiag whatever to do with a proceeding calcilated to discredit and weaken them and to bring the name of this Province into contempt throughout the whole Do- minion. Moreover, We hoped to save Dr. Jenkins from the ineffable meanness of taking, even for one session, a seat iv the House of Commons to which he has no right.

We scarcely expected that the protest we then made would cause a discussion. Having Chosen the law it was reasonable to suppose that Dr. Jenkivs would. abide by the law. But it seems that he con- siders it also necessary to appeal, with all his ingenuity, to the intelligent readers of Tar Examiner.

In the letter published to-day, he says we -*avoid the real point at issue.” Not sq. We repeatedly called attention to the fact that Brecken was sixteen votes ahead. That is the *‘ real point.” That is the main fact, to which all that Dr. Jenkinsecan adduce is secondary. The result of the recount, the quarrel of Brecken and Jenkins, and even the tattle of the town, sink into insignificance beside the main fact that Mr. Brecken received the greater number of votes, and is therefore entitled to the seat.

Dr. Jenkins was, it is true, gazetted a member for Queen’s County. But that was due to a mistake, as the Doctor himself admits. This being the case, Dr. Jenkins is evidently wrong in hold- ing on to his colleague's seat, merely because a meeting of the Party or a Convention was not called at his desire. The seat belonged of right to Mr. Brecken, and should have beeu yielded ap to him at the earliest possible moment. Granted that Dr. Jenkins could not resiga it to Mr. Brecken, then the only course open to Mr, Brecken was ‘to petitioa the Supreme Court to restore it to him. Can Mr, Brecken be blamed for having takea this ¢ourse? Certainly not. As in duty bound, both to himself and his con- stituents, Mr. Brecken petitioned the Court; and his petition was granted as a matter of course. There the matter should have been dropped. But Dr. Jenkins proceeded to urge against his colleague the fact that in certain districts there were not enough ballot papers. After a lengthy investigation, in which every witness the Doctor could bring forward was examined, the Court decided that that fact did not affect the result of the election. Not content with this decision Dr. Jenkins has appealed to Ottawa.

The case in a nutshell now stands thus: Brecken and Jenkins ran to- gether; Brecken obtained the majority of votes; Brecken was duly returned by the Returning Officer ; in the absence of Brecken, Jenkins demanded a recount, and by the disfranchisement of six bundred and seventy votes was counted in ahead and “gazetted ;’ Brecken peti- tioned the Court to restore his right, and beat Jenkins on every point; Jenkins now appeals to Ottawa in order that he may sit at the next session, and gain another chance to void the election as between his colleague and himself.

Whether Brecken or Jenkins is right is @ question which may safely be left to the people; aud as Mr. Brecken has not, since the election, had an opportunity of forfeiting the confidence of the constituency, the statement of Dr. Jeukins that he has, may certainly be re- garded as the empty bluster of a beaten man.

With reference to the last paragraph of the Doctor’s letter, we beg to say that the editor of Tue EXaMINEr is not, by anything he does or wears, prevented from denouncihg wrong-doing public men, or from protesting against selfish aod malignant proceedings calculated to bring the Liberal-Conservative Party and the Province into disrepute.

The Italian army is said to be in a very unfavorable condition. It is large, numer- ically, but a great part of its strength is merely on paper, lis organization is elaborate, but the training of the territorial militia and reserves is nominal. In the artillery the proportion of guns to men (2.40 per thousand) is pronounced by com- petent authorities to be too small ; and the strength of the cavalry compared with that of the infantry ia insufficient. The Italian

my is nominally three hundred and thirty Ahousand strong, and it is to be increased te four hundred and thirty theusand. We learn from the same source that the fortifi- cations of Italy are in an incomplete state,

We are then told that the Seven |

Sleepers realized how long had been their sleep. They had outlived their ttands, | and their usefulness, determined to die. Some of the movements of the editor | of the Patriot strongly rewind us of the couduct of the Seven Sleepers. What was the nature of the stupifying political draught which has made him a ** dreamer of dreams’’ we know not. Perchauce there were some “curious ‘iquors among the good things which he himself supplied, under the name of Stationery, to his fellow legislators, “‘in the good old times ” for which he sighs, wheo a happy kuack at turning the penny in that way was considered an evidence ot soundness in the political faith of which he was so zealous a professor; or per- haps the potent apd mischievous beverage may have been introduced in his tea while enjoying the hospitality of Big Bear or Sitting Ball, his neighbors ix the great *‘ Lope Land.” Whatever the spell, it is undeniable that therex-Gov- ernor passes up ahd down amongst us,and remarks on men and things like one who has but just now partially roused himself from a long and a heavy slumber. Witness his observations last evening on roads and Road Overseers... The pitches he says are simply dréadful. every day he is asked, whose duty is it to keep those pitches filled. So numer- ous have these inquiries become that he has taken to study the Road Act *‘passed by Sullivan & Co.,” and then he fiuds to

his .‘‘amazement”’ that it conta’ms ‘‘no penalty aguinst the Overseer who neglects or refuses to do his duty.” If he

were not under some baneful infiuence, he would have perceived that owing to the light snowfall there is scarcely a pitch to be found on any road in the Province to-day, aud he would not have mis- taken the merry jingle of the sleigh bells for the complaiats of travellers battered out of all complaisauce ia an endless succession of pitches. It is just possible too if the Scales had fallen from his eyes he might have read in the Road Act of 1879, a provision by which an Overseer who ueglects.or refuses to do his duty may be fined or superseded or both.’ Who will doubt that if our neighbour had been fully sensible of what was going on around him iast summer he would have announced in his review of the year that Nova Scotia had, in the June elections, decided against the Government of Sir John McDonald? Alas ! that the Ex-Governor should have

Marshfisid School.

The semi-annual examination of the Marshfield School was held on Thursday, the 28th December, in presence of quite a number of parents and other persons inter- ested. The examination was conducted by the Chief Superintendant of Education, Donald Montgomery, Esq., and the ex- ercises proved highly credible to the school and its efficient teacher, Mr. Isaac Jay. At the close of the examination, the parenta and children were briefly addressed by the Chief Superintendant, the Rev. Mr. Steele, Hon. D. Ferguson, and Roderick Munn, Esq. Mr. Montgomery's remarks were complimentary to the school, which he pro- nounced in a healthfnl condition, and urged the parents to increased exertions in its behalf. Then followed the presentation of prizes to the following pupils—the prizes consisting of handsome volumns, kindly presented by the Hon. Mr. Ferguson, and Peter Curran, Esq., Inspector of Schools:— For Proficiency in History, English, and Arithmetic—Susan Kiely.

For General. Proficiency in Grade VI— William Robertson.

For General Proficiency in Grade Lemond Robertson.

Fos General Proficiency in Grade 1V— Peter Stewart.

For General Proficiency in Grade ILI— Howard Ferguson.

For General Proficiency in Geade H— Robert Miller.

For General Proficiency in Grade I— Ada Small.

The ladies closed the days proceedings by treating the little students, most liberally with good things suited to tho festive season, after which, Mr. Ferguson intimat- ed that prizes for Proficiency would be given twelve months hence.

In the evening, the Chief Superintendent, lectured in the Presbyterian Church to a large audience, on Education. The lecture was most instructive, and was well de- ivered.

A Serrovs Faci.—Sergt. Dillon, while coming down Upper Water Street about five o'clock yesterday morning, heard groaning

roceeding from the hallway of the Prussian ome, He knocked up the proprietor, and an unconscious man was discovered lying at the foot of the stairs, the floor about him being covered with blood, which had flowed from wounds in his head. He had evidently fallen twice while trying to get up stairs in an intoxicated state, and in the second fall, striking on his head, been rendered uncon- scious. The man, who boarded at the house, was a sea captain some years ago, but for some time has been unable to work owing to blindness. He was still unconscious at a late hour last night, and Dr. Somers, who was summoned to attend him, considers his recov- ery doubtful. The principal injury the man received is a gash on the top of his head, which has caused a large swelling. The man 18 unmarried, but has friends in P. BE. Island. —Hzx. Chronicle,
