LEGISLATIVE COUNOIL’ ELEOTION.

Liberal-Conservative Candidate for Charlottetown,

HENRY LONCWORTH, ESQ. ) fue DAILY EXAMINER,

The Transcontinental Railway.

Our Washington correspondent shows the advantage of a transcontinental railway in dealing with troublesome Indians. It is not pleasing to think that, in the event— which is feared—of ravages on the part of Indians in the Northwest, Canada has no railway by means of which to promptly give assistance to her adventurous pioneer settlers. Had reasonable and able men been in power the past five years, the Can- ada Pacific Railway would by this time have reached the settlements threatened. The new Minister of the Interior will have to exert all his great ability to provide means of defending our white brethren in case they are set upon by hungry aborigines. Our Washington correspondent speaks of push- ing forward a second Transcontinental Railway through the United States Terri- tory; and, the immediate construction of, at least, the Eastern end of the Canadian Pacific Railway would seem to be the first and most important duty of the new Min- ister of Public Works.

In this connection we may proposition we have heared seriously dis- It is to do away, for a time, with practically,

mention a

cussed. the useless, expensive and, powerless Government provided by the }rits for the benefit of Governor Laird and other pets of the late Ministry; and to apply the money, so uselessly expended, to the construction of the Canada Pacific Railway, and in providing a real defence against any dangers which may come upon the people of the great North-West. —cjinnaiapg itil evtnestl

Sir John and the Grit Reporters.

THE CanadaGazetteand an Extra, received to-day, contain the names of the new Min- istry. Only the names of James McDonald, Masson, J. C. Pope and Bowell are men- tioned as having been sworn in members of the Queen’s Privy Council. All the rest were sworn in under Sir John’s former Administration. This fact it is which en- abled Sir John McDonald, with perfect truth, to tell the Grit reporters who pes- tered him for information that the ‘‘ new Ministry ” had ‘‘ not been sworn in,” at the very time Tuper, Tilley, J. H. Pope, etc., were preparing to go to Ottawa to take charge of their Department. It is not surprising that the ignorant Montreal reporters, whom Sir John Mc- Donald foiled, and the correspondent of the New York Herald, who could not be expected to know much about the Cana- dian Constitution, should impeach Sir John’s veracity in this matter. But that one ao enlightened as the editor of the Patrivt should have beep imposed upon by their outcry is, indeed, wonderful. Party bitter- ness renders many men blind and forgetful. But we never imagined it could possibly be so potent as to render any Canadian forget- ful of the fact that, when a man has once been sworn in a member of the Privy Coun- cil—either of England or Canada—it is not required that he be sworn again. Once a Privy Councillor always Privy Councillor.

BUSINESS.

We are glad to announce that the Mer- chants Bank will shortly be in a position to resume business operations. At a meeting held on the 23rd instant arrangements were made between the Directors and Sharehold- ers which will enable the Corporation to re-commence business on the 20th Novem- ber next, or very shortly afterwards ; and a committee was appointed by the Sharehold- ers, consisting of Hon. Jos. Pope, Judge Alley and Hon. W. W. Sullivan, to assist the Directors in carrying these arrange- ments into effect.

We have already announced the par. ic- ulara of the arrangements made, viz., tici the Directors pay into the Bank $40,0v0, and that the Shareholders advance to the Bank $10 per share, which, if responded to, will realize $45,000 more.

A meeting has been called under the Act ef Incorporation to be held on the 20th No-

vember next, and there is no reason to) doubt that the Shareholders at that mnet-|

ing will be prepared fully to carry out the arrangements already made to enable the Bank to resume its business.

This is a matter affecting the interests of every individual in the community, and in the efforts now being made to re-establish

the Bank upon a footing which will —_ brother, the reigning Sultan, who treats

general confidence, every man who nnder-

__.| general interests trade.

s‘ands his own interest and the general wel- | fare of the community should wish the Di- roctors of the Bank and the Committee ap- pointed by the Shareholders success.

The suspension or ultimate failure of this Bank might mean serious embarrasment to many parties in this community who have obtained assistance from the institution, and might operate most prejudically to the In view of these facts, it is earnestly to be hoped that all right-thinking men who have the general interest of the public—as well as their own nterest—at heart, will use every effort to jsustain the hands of those who are doing their utmost to keep this Bank alive.

Upton Park Races.

ee

SECOND DAY.

Tur second day’s racing at Upton did not prove so successful as the first. Some of the raceson the programme did not fill, and horses were withdrawn from those that were filled. The weather, too, was not en- | couraging to those who wished to attend, and the audience did not exceed that of the previous day. However, four races took place, and the remaining interesting heats ef the Stallion race and the 2.44 class were completed (reported in yesterday's issue. ) The judges were the same as on the pre- vious day. These gentlemen carried on the \ business of the course at a lightning pace, and at 4.30 o’clock the second day’s racing was drawn to a close.

FOUR YEAR OLD RACE.

This being the first on the programme, was called at 12.30. For it there were three en- tries, viz.: Mr. White’s bk. m. Tib, Mr. D. Burns’ g. g. Fair Boy, and Mr. A. McPhee’s bk. s. Don Juan, jr. In the first heat Tib led the way and trotted the course apparently at ease. The others trotted very nicely for green horses. Tib maintained the lead, and was pursued closely by Fair Boy, The mare came in first, Fair Boy second, and Don Juan third. In the next heat Tib led and trotted splendidly over the course. The others galloped a great deal, and at the end of the heat were dis- tanced for so doing, This heat and race was given to Tib.

THREE-MINUTE CLASS.

There were three entries for the three-minute class, viz., A. N. Large’s by. m. Nellie, Mr. McEachern’s by. g. Rob Roy, and Mr. W. N. Rigg’s b. m. Fairy.

First Heat—Fairy and Nellie dashed off to- gether, leaving Rob in the rear. They trotted well over the first half, Fairy leading, with Nell close on her quarter. Passing the half mile pole, Fairy increased her lead toa length and took the pole. Nell broke several times and Fairy increased her lead five or sig lengths. At the three-quarter pole Nell again drew close on Fairy’s quarter, and made rapid strides for the fore. They trotted splendidly down the home stretch, Fairy —, the wire two lengths ahead. Rob Roy was dis- tanced for running, having trotted only about two hundred yards in the mile.

RUNNING RACE.

A Running Race was made up between Mr,

Daniel's ‘‘Gray Tib” and Mr. Mitchell's ‘*Mollie.” Mollie won the two first heats. Tib was distanced in the second heat because his rider dismounted without the Judges or- ders, andthe race and money was taken by Mollie. »,. Second Heat.—Fanny lead and trotted over the course in splendid styie. Nellie appeared rank and fractious, following with a spurt and break; now drawing close on Fanny and again breaking, and following on a quick run. On the homestretch, Nellie drew close on her quarter; butbroke, as she passed under the wire at Fairy’s wheel.

* Third Heaot.—Fairy took the lead and maintained it over the first half mile. It was a tight contest after passing the half. At the three-quarter, Nellie took the pole, trotted admirably down the home stretch, and passed the wire a length ahead.

Fourth Heat..—Nellie lead by several lengths to the Po. when Fanny spurted; closed in, and went to the fore. Nellie broke as Fairy assed, and did not recover unti nearing the half, where Fairy had increased: the lead to over fifty yards. Nellie diminished the lead by running from the three-quarter pole, but Fairy passed the wire with a good nae

In this race Discount ap- peared to have everything his own way. He took the race in three straight heats, coming in about four lengths ahead of Fairy the two first and seven or eight lengths on the third. In the first heat Fairy’s breeching broke and during the others she was fractious. Discount trotted splendidly over the course every heat without a break. et °

Gladstone and Greece.

Mr. Gladstone writing to the working men of St. Colomb, says :—‘‘ I hope that attention may be given to the cause of Greece. After declaring that her claims would deserve careful consideration, the | British Government exerted herself in the | Congress with too much effect to defeat! those claims. There is no question here | for Russia, for the Greeks are opposed to | Russia. They,more than any other nation, represent the cause of freedom in the East; and in their persons, according to all the intelligence we possess, that cause has been not only abandoned, but I must even say betrayed.

This salt must kept in a soluble state by using for a ten horse boiler four ounces of muriate of ammonia per week. This, 1 find, decomposes the car- bonate of lime from muriate of lime to car- bonate of ammonia. Then, by opening the blow off two or three times a day for three minutes each time, the volatile will pass off with the steam, and the boiler will never be scaled. No more than the quantity named should be used, as the action of the muriate of

ammonia is very energe

Our Washington Letter.

Wasurnaton, D. C., Oct. 22, 1878.

Although it is yet entirely too early to talk about Presidential candidates, still such men- tion was begun before Hayes was fairly in- augurated, and will, undoubtedly, continue till 1880. This is always the case, though more names than usual have been mentioned in that connection during the past two years. Tilden, Hendrick’s, Bayard, Conkling, Blaine, Bristow, Butler, Thurman, Grant, Sherman, and half a score of others, more or less eligible to the high office. Southern politicians aver that they consider the Democratic outlook brighter than it has been since the war, and anticipate a complete vietory for the party in 1880. They also state that Bristow and Blaine have the best chances in the South as the coming men, and that Thurman, Conkling, or Sherman would’ receive more support than General Grant. Butlerism appears to be dying out, and Kearney is completely lost sight of. Murch and Ladd, Greenbackers from Maine, will receive a lion’s share of notice in the House next winter, partly because of the battle they have passed through, partly from the young party whose cause they espouse, and more, perhaps, because of the absence of the men whose seats they fill, which cannot fail of being conspicuous. Hale will be missed, for he was a power often felt in the House of Representatives, and his opinion was consid- ered worth having on any measure, both by his — and opponents. Pawers was a new member, and one little known save in connection with the Maine delegation, and, as a very lion in personal appearance, with his big frame, heavy brow, and shock of long, black hair. Murch and Ladd both declare themselves to be laboring men, possessed neither of means nor learning, and appear to consider tnose facts as weighty recommenda- tions.

A novel proposition has been recently made to Sec’y of War—McCrary—by the Chief of Ordnance of the U. 8. Army to the effect that legislation be asked of Congress on the subject of detailing officers and supplying arms to the Colleges of the country. It is suggested that

the provision of arms, and the officers as in- }-

structors in their use, would increase the im- portance of these Institutions, in view of the influence they would exercise over the militia, and in keeping alive the military spirit of the nation.

Speaking of this matter reminds me of Gen. Meigs’ report, just published, which shows the great value of railroads in the economical ad- ministration of military affairs. Had it not been for the railroads during the late Indian troubles the war would have been disastrous, as the small army would have been unable to cope with the savages at points so widely sep- arated. By the use of railroads, only one- third the number of troops and the expense are required to do the work formerly done by wagon transportation. The troubles along the Texas border and among the Apaches, in connection with such reports as these, arouse desire anew for another trans-centinental rail- way, and great efforts will now be made, by Government and the people, to push the Texas and Pacific Road across the continent.

Representative Rainey (colored) was here last week from South Carolina, complaining to the President of certain persecutions that he claims are going on in his State with the ap- proval of the Governor and other prominent officials. One party, Rainey says, will not al- low the opposite to hold political meetings; and he narrates various outrages that have been perpetrated within the last few weeks there, asking the President’s intervention and protection of the people’s rights. Mr. Hayes met the honorable member with his usaal mild mannered agreement in all his visitor said, sending him away with feelings of utmost sat-

‘isfaction and confidence that his business

would not be neglected.

It is not wonderful that both President and Mrs. Hayes are popular with those who come into contact with them. They both have that indescribable pleasantness of manner that puts one imme liately at ease in their presence, no matter how awkward or diffident one may be conscious of appearing. It is ahappy faculty, but, like beauty, is only skin deep. A visitor rarely leaves these people without a pervading sense of gratification—of having been well re- ceived and approved of in all their opinions or suggestions.
