Tho Dominion Parilamont.

Tas Dominion Parliament opens on Fri- day, the Sth, and most of the island Repre- sentatives are already on their way to Ot- tawa interesiing scenes may be ex- pected during the The McKenzie Government has a multitude of sins to an- swer for, and it is forced to meet Parlia- ment with many ominous changes in its constitution. The r2cess has, indeed, played sad havoc with the Ministry and its sipporters. Some have fallen ; others only show they live by some unmistakeable symptoms of impending disdlution. So weakened and disorganized has the Minis- t-y become that only through the forbear- aice of the Opposition can it live out the

assion. It is not worth while, the Opposi- tioa may thiak, to fight for a position which

must come into their possession in a few

mouths, by a general election. When Mr.

McKenzie does retire this portion of the Du

minion will not bemow his fate. We have no feelings of gratitude in which to indulge, and we may be even inhuman enough to look upon his fall as a happy deliverance.

For what really has the present Govern- ment done for this Island? Let us rehears>.

It has underpaid such of our Island officials as it chose to retain in its service; it has flooded the railway and its offices with strangers from Ontario and New Brunswick ; it has paudered to the most. selfish and in- eapable Local Governments that ever held sway inany Province. it has madea pretence of providing us with the means of winter communication by a boat which was, from the very beginning, an experiment, and now proves a failure ; 1t has built a breakwater and left it so unprotected that a storm has borne it way ; it is building another which will likely share the same fate ; it has erect- ed in the East a Marine Hospital which pro- mises to be the only monument likely to perpetuate the name of Mr. McKenzie ; and that hospital has never contained a patient ; its virgin walls are still unsullied by the the breath of disease. All these things we have mentioned may appear to be s.uall ; but, then, Mr. McKenzie and _ his Govern-

ment have a very small idea of us, asa people. It is believed in Ottawa that we

can be “ pleased witha rattle and tickled by astraw ’—buteven the rattles and the straws have been furnished with niggardly stint. Wecan but hopo for better things, witha change of rulers. As things are managed at present, Mr. McKenzi2 trusts himself, implicitely,to the guidance of a few unimportant individuals in the community, who set up as a guide, not tbe interests of the Province, but their own. The electors have learned wisdom from the past, and the forthcoming choice of representatives will show that our people are wearied with the efforts of a weak ministry more intent upon aggrandizing its followers, than in benefi:-

ting the public.

The Northern Light.

Tux ice boat, as she is flatteringly called —Mr. Sewell’s experiment—the ‘‘ Northern Light,” kindly given to us by the Dominion Government to fulfill the conditions of Con- federation by keeping up our winter com- munications with the Continent, has en- countered ice, for the first time this winter, and has been made a fast prisoner, heaven knows in what latitude or longitude. Only a heavy southerly wind can set her free, and that isa rare commodity at this season. The mails which this gallant craft was sent forth to bring to Georgetown on Thursday have not, in consequence, made their ap pearance. Several violent admirers of Mr. | McKenzie have such implicit confidence in all that statesman’s projects that they would on their route to Ottawa trust only to the ‘‘Northern Light,” fully confident in her ability and expertness.— These individuals, among whom is the Editor of the Patriot, are now tarrying at Georgetewn, praying for a strong southerly wind. Mr. Pope crossed by the Capes; but the individuals in question would not, of course, sail in the same boat with Mr. Pope, and so they are left behind.

WAR.

Tur telegrams we publish to-day are in- tensely warlike. England dispatching war material, and men and fleets to the Bos- phoras, while Russian troops are within twenty-four hours march of Constantinople on the land side, are facts which indicate a very sevore crisis in European affairs. The presence of an English fleet in the Bos- phorus to defend Constantinople may bring the victorious battalions of the Czar toa halt, and impress their captains with the futility of attempting to capture a prize which it will be impossile to hold. If so, Russia will have to bear the mortification of secing the cap so long yearned for dashed from her hand even when it touched her lips, unless the authorities at St. Petersburgh can fall upon some means of annihilating the English fleet, or driving it

Exports from Cascumpoe for 1877.

(From the Pioneer.) Through the kindness of Messrs. J. F. White and D. Montgomery, we are enabled to lay before our readers this week a cor

by water and rail, for the year 1877. The exports by water are as follows :—

97,161 bush. Oats, valued at $33, 864. 40 638,761 bush. Potatoes, ‘** 17,190.25 1,090 qtis Dry Fish, . 3,099.00 3,643 bbls. Mackarel, ‘* 35,430.00 4,273 Empty Barrels, ‘ 3,422.40 318 bbls. Herring, * 954.00 223 hd. Cattle, sheep and Pigs, 1,734.00 $101,695.05

The exports by rail are :— 2,835 bash Oats valued at 1,144 bush. Potatoes, “

276 bbls. Oysters, "

275 bbls. Pork, ni

4924 bbls. Mackerel, ‘ 16,397 lb Fresh Beef, **

$1,134.00 345. 2 692.00 4,125.00 4,830.00 653.85

1,397 Ib. Fresh Pork, ‘‘ $3.84 67 qtls. Codfish, ‘ 263.00 1,691 cases Eggs, “ 8,4 £5.00 1,509 boxes Lobsters, ‘‘ 7,000.00

1 125.50

$29,209.69

5,633 lb. Batter, "

We see by the above figures that the value of produce exported from Cascumpec_to other countries amounts to $130,904.55. Be sides this, there are large quantities of goods that go through the Custom House and over the railroad from here, such as flour, salt, herring, lumber, ete., that are not set downas exports, as they are only moved from one part of the I1lind to an- other. The greater part of the adove am- ount is made up of the produce of the farm —only a small fraction of our fish export being taken into an account. Our fish is usually taken from the stages in small ves- sels, and carried to Charlottetown or Shedi- ac for re-shipment, and hence does not ap-

These figures, however, are sutticient to show the importance of Cascumpec as a shipping place, and to justify us in asking the Dominion Government for a sam of money to improve the harbor, which is at present in a wretched condition, and is be- coming worse every year. If the harbor were improved as it should be, we have no doubt that all the fish exported from this

nd of the Island would be brougit into Cascumpec and sent over the P. E. £. Rail- way to Charlottetown, instead of being carried there in small vesseils as is done at present. Thdé Dominion Government would thus make money out of the transaction, as the increased trafie on the railway would, in the course of a few ycars, pay back with in- terest the money expended on harbor in- provements.

Corresrondence,

“The Daad Alive.”

To the Editor of the Examiner:

Dear Srr,—It is not that fiction story of Wilkie Collins’ [ am going to relate, but a real genuine article, somewhat analogous to it in plot. One evening last week the good people of Souris West were greatly alarmed by the groans and cries of what they supposed to be aman drowuing in tie harbor. Some of the most chivalrous among them immediately set out to rescue the drowning man; afid in less than tie» hours a boat well manned was on the spot whence the cries were heard, but alas, too late to save the unfortunate being from a wa- tery grave! He sank to rise no more! Dili- gent search for the body was instituted next day, but with no success. A cloud of gloom hung like a funeral pall over the village of Souris West for several days. To think that a fellow mortal should, for two long hours, plunge and splutter in the cold embrace of the chilly waters of Sour : Harbor, beneath the very shadow of Richard B, Hayes & Co’s colos- al hotel, without timely assistance being ren- dered, filled the hearts of those good people with a feeling near akin to remorse. Of course, the voracious fiend of Intemperance was credited with having secured another vic tim. Resolutions otf condolence. were 1 understand, drawn up to be _ forwarded to the relatives of the deceased, but as the Corpus Delicti hadn't been found. this action was rather premature. The whole affair, then, resolved itself into 2 mystery, which, how- ever, seems now to be pretty well unravelled. The drowned man was seen yesterday moin ing swimming up the harbor, apparently in the best of health. Upon close investigation, he was identified as being a truant member of the family Phocide, much given to acquatic gam- bols. While I congratulate the peyple in that vicipity upon the recent discovery, and the consequent composure of mind, I cannot sup- press the hope that this marine scoundrel will be speedily brought to justice, and there forced to surrender his pelt and flippers in expiation of the dastardly crime of gulling a happy and contented people.—Com.

—— --——_ > —-- PP -o @O-—-—- Joseph Arch on Votes for the Laborers.

One of the articles in tha January num ber of the Nineleenth Century 13 a paper on “The Laborers and the Vote,” by Mr. Joseph Arch, the well-known leader of the laboring classes in England. Here is an extract from his plea for the concession of

the franchise to the working classes :—

That these -honest, hard-working, law-abid- ing subjects want tleir political mghts to ruin the country. I pity such ignorance. It won't be the ignorance of the working man that wil ruin the country ; it will be tne stupidity aad ignorance of those who deny the woikman his rights that will ruin the country. Who has made the country whatit is? ‘The political nobodies, wno fancy that they are everybody % No; the man who have tilled our fields; cut

railroads, moulded our iron, dived into the bowels of the earth and brought up millions oi pounds worth of wealth to the surface—these are the men who have made England glo- rious, and that, too, at a great risk of life, a3 witness the Blantyre explosion. Ay, and yet, after men have risked their lives and linbs, not in shooting down the:r fellows, but to make the land of their birth, the land they have toiled to make wealthy, great and noble in the eyes of the whole world, they are not to be trusted with a vote, lest they should ruin I repeat it again, [ pity the iz- norance of those who talk lke that. Must we forever be treated as aliens in blood, as ur- worthy the dignity of freemen, or even the nobleness of manhood? Freedom has raised her voice ; we mean to obey her call ; we don’t intend to be frightened away from our stand

ard. Our forefathers have won many battles for their country,.and we, their soas, mean to win the battle of freedom ourselves. ‘The Lib- erals of Scotland have shown their true colors, and the week-knee Liberals—I mean the Whigs—of England must either be true to the cause of Liberalism, or they will have to be quietly put on one side. Mr, Gladstone has struck the right note; he has said, ‘* Eafran

chise the people,” Enfranchise the people and they will educate themselves. Enfranchise the people; it binds society together, and England will be a safer, a happier, and a more prosper- ous nation.

‘'HE members of the Salvage Corps will hold their monthly meeting on Monday evening, inthe City Court’ Room. Those meinbers who have not yet received badges will please do so before this meeting.

IX consequence of the meeting of the citi- zens in the Market Hall on Monday night, the Reform Club will meet at 8 o’clock, on Tuesday evening in the Club Hall. A large attendance is requested, as business of im- portance will be transacted.

THE argument with regard to the validity of the indictment brought against Nicholas Collins for riot, occupied the time of the Supreme Court on Friday. In the evening the Court adjourned, and the matter will be considered by the Judges till Monday.

A DESPATCH from Cape Traverse informs us that Hon. J. C. Pope accompanied by the ‘‘ Daily Examiner” correspondent, left in the iceboat this morning for Cape Tor- mentine. Messrs. Yeo and Perry crossed on Friday.

Tue public will notice an extensive im provement made on the outside appearance of our printing rooms, by having placed on the eastern end, two large signs. They were painted by Mr. P. H. Tratnor, and are cheap, plain and good, which denotes

printing t an any printing house in the city. The signs were the admiration of our Local Premier a3 he passed this evening.

‘‘No trials at the Stipendiary Magis- trate’s Court this morning.” This has been a standing item, with few exceptions, for the past two months. Crime has decreased in such an extraordinary manner during that time, that the Police Record is almost blank. Indeed, we are informed that at no former time has there been such a free- dom from drunkness and disorder in this

city, and the police officers, in murmuring over the fact, say thata drunken man is
