The Issues in Quebec.

_ Tue result of the Quebec General Elec- tions has been a matter of surprise to the Conservatives and of deep disappointment to the Liberals of the Province. Outside the Province of Quebec the large gain for Mr. Joly will be a matter of consolation to the friends of Mr. McKenzie. They will, no doubt, look upon it as a clear Grit gain, although any one acquainted with the issues before the people will see that Mr, Me- Kenzie’s cause is weaker than ever the Conservatives imagined. ~ The local Conser- vatives have lost fourteen seats, but the change was on account of purely local ques- tions, which have nothing to do with the Dominion eleetions ; and in the eastern townships, where the Conservatives are very strong, Liberal-Conservative support- ers of Mr. Joly were elected. The Mon- treal Witness, which has interested itself to a considerable extent on behalf of the Liberals, is, at times, ashamed to confess itself a Liberal. It says of the eastern townships : ‘‘ The township people will not become anything but Conservative descend- ants of the U. 8. Loyalists ; their instincts are strong in that direction.” This the Witness candidly confessed after all attempts to influence the townships in favor of Rougism failed. That paper tried, mildly but persistently, to raise a religious feeling wmong the people ; but when all failed, and the eastern townships in effect declared :—

Awa, Whigs, awa, Ye’re but a pack ef traitor loons: Yell do na good at a’.

Another pian was adopted. Candidates were nominated whe avowed themselves Conservatives. The people were told that Mr. Joly and his friends were the true Conservatives; that Ultramontanes could not be anything else than Liberals. This cry, with the well known record of Messrs. Doak, Lowell and others as consistent sup- porters of Sir John, and the unpopularity of the DeBoncherville Government, brought about a state of things that can- not be very flattering to the Lib- erals. It is true they won some seats, but it was under the banner of Conserva- tism. The repudiation of their own party was even more objectionable than the tax and railway policy of the late Government. It depended on some well disposed Conser- vatives to come to the rescue ; but for the sake of their good name and fortune, they refused to fraternize too closely. They agreed, for local reasons, to give Mr. Joly some support, but avowedly as Conserva- tives. Mr. Exine has gone further than any of the Joly Conservatives. He has declared publicly that he would sup- port Mr. Joly, and appealed to the people as a supporter of the Government ; but he has refused the name of Liberal. ‘That the Liberals of Quebec have a bad record is evident, but never has been so painfully manifest as during the recent elections. Besides the means adopted in the Eastern townships, and which has strengthened Mr. Joly, but has not weakened the Conserva- tives of the Dominion, many and cowardly plots have been formed. Where the con- stituencies could not be influenced, note- rious and sometimes infamous person were engaged to blacken the character of the candidates. The Stewart-Goff conspiracy will remain as a monument of the dastardly means the Liberals will resort to to gain their own ends. There are many mean ad- vantages that the Grit party take and have always taken when an opportunity present- ed itself, but nothing more infamous than the above has been perpetwmated in any country. It is quite common for the Grits to trade in the reputation of public men. There are many among them who have no character to loose, and they arefutelized to trade in the good character of their oppo- nents. Nothing is sacred in their eyes. The good name of their fellow-men which should be shielded by all good men from the dastardly and cowardly attack of villains, is nothing in the estimation of these men. There are some good men among the Grits, but how they can tolerate such things, we fail to see. They are too respectable to be a party te the conspiracy, but they look on with apparent indifference, inwardly re- joicing that their party is assisted to power, although at the expence of the character of innocent men. Such conduct is degrading the party individually, and having a most injurious effect on the country.

ANoTHER Dory to Cross tHe ATLAN- tic.— Messrs. Higgins & Gifford, of this city, have just completed for Mr. Asa Walter Andrews, of Beverly, a dory in which he and a companion intend crossing the Atlantic, starting about the first of June, and visiting the Exposition at Paris with the boat. She isa fine looking craft, built of cedar and pine, and extra timbered with oak. She is named the “‘Nautilus,” and is 19 feet 1 inch over all, and 15 feet keel, 27 inches in depth, 6 feet 7 inches wide. She is painted white, with a red and blue stripe, looking very tasty. Her lock- ers, water-tight compartments and _ fitting up exhibit considerable skill, and the craft reflects great credit upon her builders. She is one foot shorter than the ‘‘Centennial,” which made a safe passage, and if she ar- rives safe her owner will have the honor of crossing the Atlantic in the smallest craft that ever got across. She has no bowsprit, and will carry a panteen and squaresail,—

Tuer Datty Examiner. 4 Startling Story.—A Wholesale

Murderer said to be in Montreal.

The Boston Globe says :—Our correspon-

“| dent at Woodsville, New Hampshire, sends | us a communication containing a paper,sent

to him from Montreal, and purporting to be the confession of an old man (Bill John- ston) who died in the poorhouse there on Sunday night. The confession states that the writer was born in England; at an early age ran away to sea, murdered the captain of the ship, and, escaping, returned to Eng- land, where he murdered both his parents. Soon after he killed a saloon keeper in Lon- don and shot two police officers. Going to California in ’49, he murdered and robbed his chum, then killed his boarding mistress in San Francisco ; afterwards he murdered a bank eashier in Texas, and later killed his mistress in Kansas. In closing it says that he had killed many others—too nu-

merous to mention —and that his whole life had been one long career of blood, The statement is sent to us by one of our most reliable correspondents, but the confession does not appear to us to have a very solid

foundation. Wehave more confidence in

the detective system of the United States and of London and the world generally,

than to suppose that any man could thus deliberately slaughter so many people and

not have to test the strength of the hemp

of either one hemisphere or the other be-

fore he reached the age of eighty.

I. F. S. Gift Enterprise.

[From the St. John Freeman.

Tue drawing of prizes in the Irish Friend- ly Society Gift Enterprise commeneed last evening in Dockrill’s Hall, Union Street. The drawing was conducted by the Com- mittee, appointed at Friday night’s meeting of the ticket-holders, two boys blindfolded drawing the numbers and the corresponding prize or blank from wheels placed one on each side of the platform. The hall was crowded during the greater part of the even- ing. At12 oclock, when the Committee ceased work, 1,386 tickets had been drawn. From the annexed list of winning numbers, it will be seen that the capital prize is yet to be drawn. It is not yet known who is the winner of the $1,000 prize. The following are the winning numbers and the prizes It will be understood, of course, that the sums named are subject to the reduction of 25 per cent. agreed upen by the ticket-holders when it was decided to destroy the 2,000 tickets. Thus the win- ner of the $1,000 prize will receive $750. and the winners of the other prizes proper- tionate amounts.

The Issue in Brief.

(From the Toronto Mail.)

When a business man, who can’t make both ends meet from year to year, keeps on increasing his outlay, he is not far off the assignee’s Office. Nations hold out longer than individuals, but a common fate is in- evitable under like circumstances. In 1876 Canada’s income ran behind her expendi- ture to the amount of $1,900,000. In 1877 there was a deficit of $1,460,000. This year, as Mr. Cartwright proposes to spend $26,200,000 and as his estimate of $25,- 500,000 of revenue was over $600,000 short in February last, the deficit will probably reach $3,500,000. This total of nearly $7,- 000,000 of deficits occurs, too, under an increased taxation of three millions of dol- lars a year. Mr. Cartwright doesn’t see his way clear to levying more taxes. He has begun to pay Sinking Fund out of bor- rowed money. He can see no help ahead, nor discern any prospect of a recovery in the revenue, while he proceeds to add mil- lions to the expenditure. Under these cir- cumstances it 1s pertinent to ask ourselves —What are we going to do about it /

Mr. McKenaie’s answer is that we should keep or drifting under his management without any definite object in view, except that of reaching an epoch when this shall be ‘‘a cheap country to live in,” whatever ‘‘cheapness’ may mean under such circum. stances. Sir John McDonald says that we should cut down the cost of governing the country—Mr. McKenzie’s expenditure this year will exceed that of the last year of sir John’s rule by nearly $4,000,000, or a dollar a head—and proceed to restore the revenue by restoring prosperity through a well-devised system of protection to Home industries. ere is where the two leaders differ. This is the issue.
