Tue Darty EXAMINER. OCTOBER 24, 1883.

Editorial Notes.

—A New York paper says: decision of Chancellor Runyon, of New Jersey, is upheld in the higher courts to} whieh appeal will doubtless be taken, | National bank directors will hereafter be much more than they have been iu the past. Chanceller holds, in the case of the Mechanic's Bank of Newark, which was ruined by a dishonvst cashier, that the Directors neglected their duties, and cousequently can be sued by the stock- holders, whose interests were thus left unguarded. Bauk cashiers will hardly have everything their own ‘vay iu the future, and directors will be useful as we!l as ornamental. It is possible that there are those here who wish Chancellor Runyon had been located ou Prince

Edward Island.

—According to L’ Econemiste, of Paris, the finances of the Freuch Republic are in a bad way. A freeavd-easy method of obtaining appropriations is open, it seems, to the deputies of the Legis- lative Chamber. There are eighty-nine departements, with av average of three deputies to a departement, and, there is pot a department which has not already, in 1883, been granted supplementary cradits, it is said. ‘How can we expect, asks L’ Economiste, with such a manage- ment of our fiuances, to avoid the most grave embarra-sments? There is uo lovger a budget. The budget isa fic tion. Supplementary or extraordinary credits are opened for the most trifling reasons. Every deputy has the right to propose them, aud who can place a limit on the fancies of our deputies?”

—Lord Castledown visited Canada last summer, and had a run, 2,600 miles, from Moutreal to Calgary. He was greatly pleased with the country and the Canada Pacific Railway ; and in a letter to the London Times sums up his view wtth respect to both. He says that ‘once the great line spans this Contiuent from Montreal to the Pacific, China and New Zealand and many of the most im-| portant Eastern ports will be three or| four days searer to Europe and her market. The teas and aromatic spices of the East, the wool of New Zealand, and the “hard corn of Manitoba,” so highly prized by millers, will travel together in the same cars, aud the bond of iron and steam which is vow biodiug every section of the globe will have no more glorious liok than the Canadian

Pacific Railway. Let England and these Colonies remember that those chains sre the oves which connect the

mother couatry with her children; it is by ties of trade aud prosperity that the true strings of aTection and mutual wel- tare are knitted, and | believe and feel the great highway we have just passed over may, if strongly supported and bravely protected, prove, in the near fucure, one of the great features of what I believe most rational Eoglishmen and colonists desire—a great confederate commercial union or Bund” of Englaod and her colonies. Surely the men who have by enterprise, sagacity, and pluck brought this great prospect in the near future deserve well of their fellow men.

Truth,” is his address to Members of the Provincial Goverument and the Magistrates of the Island, iuveighs vigorously. against the apathy shown with respect tothe open, uotorious and general violation of the Scott Act; and eloqueatlyexpresses the opinions of a very large proportion of the community. Le is, however, in erroP on ove cr two poiuts. (1) No doubt it is contrary to the spirit of the law that liquors should be landed at our ports. But the Dominion

The Fall of Hue.

AN EYE-WITNESS DESCRIBES THE SCENE OF BARBAROUS BUTCHERY,

An ofticer of the French army in Ton- quin—Pierre Lote—gtaphically describes the fall of Hue. Inthe-Paris Figaro he writes:—‘' The beaten Annamites were cooped in the burning village. The only road of escape from the flames lay under the guns of the fort, which was filled with sailors armed with Krapotehak repeating rifles, with sights carefully adjusted to the distance. The magazines of the rifles were duly loaded. The men looked on, waiting until a flank movement of the other troops and the fring of the bamboo huts should drive the human quarry before them. We saw them haiting at the end of the village, with singed hair and garments; then, after a few moments’ hesitation, tucking up their flowing’ robes as high as they could, and, trying to protect their heads with planks against the impending shower ef bullets, they rushed. A_ great butchery then commenced. Two volleys were fired. It was quite a treat (c etait un plaisir) to see these fan-like streams of bullets sweeping down upon the fugatives- They were pour- ed in twice in one minute at the word of command, and in a sure, methodical man- [t was like a jet from a huge water- ing pot, which mowed them down by doz- ens. Inacloud of dust and gravel we could see some, who seemed to be driven mad, picking themselves up, limping now one way, pow another, like wounded animals, gathering up their clothes in a comical manner. Their long hair unfasten- ed and streaming down their backs made them look like wemen. Others tried to escape by swim- ming a lagoon to try to reach the junks, These were killed in the water. Some good divers remained a long time under water. Our men continued to kill them all the same when they came up to breathe like seals. The mer then amused themselves counting the dead—50 on the left, 80 to the right. In thie village were small heaps. With those killed in the south- ern forts, about 800 or 1000 must have been dispcsed of. The sailors made bets as to the numbers destroyed. About nine morning all was over, and the route «f the Annamites was complete. The heat was intense, and the sailors, maddened by the sun ind the noise, quivering with excitement, roshed out of the fort after the wounded. Some were crouching in holes, others were feign- ing death, while others, at the last gasp, were stretching out their hands pleading for merey and shouting, ‘‘Han, han !” in heart- rending aecents. Our men slaughtered them with bayonts, or brained them with the butt end of their muskets. The Ann- amite servants, diminutive, effeminate lads, who had followed the infantry from Saigon, were huntea -ut. Whenone of the fugi- tives was unearthed the sailors would call

out, ‘‘Here’s another. Come, give him lang, J'lamg !” These sailors were quite unrecognizable. They were

absolutely madmen. The officers attempt- ed to restrain them, and said to them: ‘You ought to be ashamed of such coward- ly, dirty work.” They replied: ‘‘The Annamites are savages. They carried the head of Capt. Riviere on the top of a pole; and, if they carried the day, they would cut the French to pieces or saw them with- in two planks.”” There was no reply possi- ble to this. It was true; and so they were left to their grim work,

Coal in the Northwest.

George M. Dawson, of the Geological Bureau, Ottawa, has just returned from a four months’ exploratory tour ot the coal- fields on the Saskatchewan, Bow, and Belly rivers, also a survey of the Rockies, [t is reported that his researches confirm the existence of vast coal areas in the district referred to. The supply is inexhaustible, and the quality varies from lignite on the plains to bitumenous as the mountains are approached and real anthracite in the Rockies. This virtually settles the fuel difficulty, which was feared on the vast plains of the Northwest territories. A practical illustration of the discoveries is already manifesting itself, as one hundred tons daily are arriving in Winnipeg from a mine near Madicine Hat. Coal from the Galt mine, on Bally river, is

also baing got out in large quantities,

and will soon reach the market. Native coal is sold at the depot for $9 per ton, and

ennsylvania coal, which used to sell in Mani‘oba at $20 and later at $17, has now been forced down to $13 per ton.
