Visit of the Vice-Regal Party.

Tar Government and people of New Grunswick are being cordially and actively at work making suitable preparations for the reception of the Marquis of Lorne and the Princess Lauise. At Fredericton, the seat of Government, extensive arrange- ments fora grand reception are in rapid progress, under the supervision ef the general committee appointed for that pur- pose. ‘ver the heading, ‘‘ Fredericton Topics,” in the St. John Daily Telegraph of the 29th inst., we have the following, which shows that the Military Department are at their post of duty :—

‘*PreraRInG FoR THE Vice-Recar Parry.

All classes are taking a great deal of inter- est in the preparations for the reception of the Vice-Reyal party, and the Marquis and Prin- cess will receive a very hearty and enthusias- tic, if not a very grand and imposing, welcome. ‘The distinguished visitors, on landing, will be received by a guard of honor consisting of a hundred men, under command of Captain Cropley ; the other officers of the guard will be Lieuts. Howe, Loggie and Pinder. The guard will be made up of fifty men from Captain Cropley’s company, twenty from Major Staples’ and ten from each of the other companies of the battalion. A guard of nine men and an orderly will be on duty at (overnment House every day while the Marquis and Princess are in the city. It is said that the Vice-Regal party will attend divine service at St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church in the morning, and at the Cathedral in the evening. ‘The Corporation addresses will, most probably, be presented in the Ex- hibition Building at 12 o'clock on Monday, and in the evening a Drawing Room will be held at Government House. ‘The Committee appointed to collect subscriptions in the differ- ent wards commenced work this afternoon, and it is to be hoped that they will find no difficulty in raising the amount of money that is required.”

In St. John city the preparations are im- mense. Reid’s Castle, which is to be the temporary residence of the Marquis of Lorne and the Princess Louise, is being magnificently prepared for their reception. The Central Committee is backed up by enterprising mechanics and other citizens in the erection of arches and other decor- ations in honer of the occasion.

In this Island there is, we believe, a ‘‘ grow- ing feeling” among the people generally not to be far behind in regard to the recep- tion of the Royal visitors. Let there be no procrastination about this matter. Let us not have the sound of hammers and the hum of busy men and women going on when the Vice-Regal party are just landing on our shores. For then all preparations must cease, to give place to the sound of the pibrech, the glitter of the military and the enthusiasm of the whole people.

The officers of the Caledonian Club, of this Province, are the only persons as yet who have moved in the matter of reception in this Province. They have arranged for their grand annual gathering in honor of the Vice-Regal party. But the Govern- ment, at their Council meetings yesterday and to-day, are, doubtless, maturing their plans for the reception; and the City Counci! will, of course, consider the matter ut their meeting of Friday evening. Ac- tion on the part of lodges, companies and private citizens will, of course, depend upon the action of those bodies. All work- ing harmoniously together, under a good there is no doubt that a hearty and sufficiently generous reception can be given our royal and noble visitors

organization,

without undue expense.

Haman Hanged on His Own Gallows.

Tue following appears in the Patriot of to-day -—

‘ Exrortion. — The Commissioner of Public Works, most properly called the Unsoond, pays a favorite of the Govern- ment forty cents a gallon for kerosene oil, when the trade are offering it for twenty- five to thirty cents a gallon.”

We inquired at the Public Works Department for information in reference to the above, and we are authorized to say that the present Government has not con tracte nor paid for keresene oil at forty cents u gallon or at any other price, either with « favorite of the Government or any other person. The only contract for kerosene oil now existing is one made by the late Comuussioner, on the first of January last,

for supplies of kerasone for Qugen’s, King’s (and Prince County Jails. The tender of | John Quirk, Esq., for forty cents a gallon, was accepted over the tender of J. D. McLeod, Esq., for twenty-eight cents. It is for Mr. W. D. Stewart to explain why Mr. McLeod’s tender was passed over, AND THE TAX- PAYERS MULCT TO THE TUNE OF TWELVE CENTS PER GALLON. Has there ever been any complaint against the quality of goods supplied by Mr. McLeod? We readily agree with the Patriot that forty cents a gallon is too high a price. But we cannot blame Mr. Quirk in the matter. The Government which accepted his tender over much lower offers, are alone respon-

sible. The charge of ‘ extortion,” pre- ferred by the Patriot, does, hewever, lie at the door of another party, whose dealings with the Government of which he wasa member, we are again compelled to expose. The Hon. Thomas Walker Dodd supplied the late Government with a considerable ‘quantity of kerosene oil and charged them forty cents per gallon. This is what the Patriot calls ‘‘extortion.” We ‘‘thank thee, Jew, for teaching us that word.” If there ever was a perfect illustration of Haman hanging on his own gallows, we have it in the kerosene oil business. We take it for granted, of course, that Mr. W. D. Stewart inspired the Patriot in this mat- ter. The Patriot was his obedient tool while he was making bad bargains and giv- ing extortionate prices. [t is still his obedi- ent tool. But the gallows it erected, at his command, for Mr. Ferguson is the gibbet upon which he has himself been hung. And M:. Ferguson sits at the gate of the King’s palace. So let all evil schemes and evil men be brought te naught, and let men who do right be exalted.

The Meat Fizzle.

We publish to-day Mr. Bridge’s letter, and note the impudent editorial in the Patriot. 1+ is established by incontrovert- ible evidence—which the Patriot has not the fairness to publish—that the Govern- ment acted on the reports of the proper officials, and that the contract they made was a reasonable and proper ene. Therefore the action of the Govern- ment is perfectly justifiable ; and it is not necessary to defend it any longer.

Nor is it at all necessary, we think, that we should defend THe ExaMINeR against the charge of trying its best to destroy the character of Mr. Bridges. If we are to place any credit at all upon the report of the Patriot—which Mr. Bridges endorses as substantially correct—it was in spite of friendly warning and advice, on the part of the Commissioner of Public Works, that Mr. Bridges published his letter, and so made necessary the publication of all that has been damaging to his character in this controversy.

READING, Pa., July 29.

Miss Lavinia Fry, aged 20, near Ephrata, several miles from this this city, was pass- ing along the public road, when a drove of cattle passed by, and an infuriated bull at- tacked her. Catching her on his horns, he tossed her 20 feet across a creek; the animal then plunged after her, and on the opposite bank again caught her on his horns and threw her over a five rail fence. One horn penetrated the abdomen, her hip bone was broken, and she was so badly wounded that she died shortly afterwards.

Dr. Collins, inspecting officer, whom the vigilant committee compelled to flee from Lagrange, Tenn., arrived here yesterday. He walked from Moscow, Tenn., to Buntyn station, about 30 miles, without food, as at every station he was met by armed men, who warned him to proceed. A “‘shot gun quarantine” was enferced against him more severe than that of the State Board of Health.

Mempuis, Tenn., July 29.

To this date there have been 120 cases of fever, of which 36 have died, which shows a mortality of 30 per cent. The old infected districts of 1873 and 1878 were exempt trom the fever until yesterday. A striking in- stance of immunity from a second attack of the disease is cited in the iilness in the family of P. G. Meath. Last year seven members of the family were stricken ; twice his children were sent abroad, and of these, Patrick Meath, jr., was prostrated with the disease ten days ago, and soen died ; Mrs. Meath, another of those sent away last year, is in a critical condition, while none of the seven who were sick last year have been effected in the least.

The Civic E:ection

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Sir.—I can enjoy a good joke as well as any other person but I really do think that the

entlemen who signed the requisition to Mr. ML A. Camern have carried their joke a little too far by publishing said requisition in your journal.

Many readers of the Examiner will re- member, Mr. Editor, that some years agoa nunber of young sports, ‘‘just for the fun of tbe thing,’ waited up the late William Byers, (a colored gentleman better known as ‘Black Bill’ who resided in that high toned locality called the West Bog) and asked him to allow himself to be put in nomination for Mayor of the City of Charlottetown. Mr. Byers im- mediately consented and was duly nominated. Election day arrived and much to the surprise of all concerned, the West Bog King was with- in a hair’s breadth o: being His Worship, Mayor Byers. i

Now, sir, with your permission I would warn those individuals who have asked Mr. Cameron ‘‘to run for Mayor,” to beware and look before they leap further, otherwise their little joke may be the means of respectable men backing down.

Yours, &c., A Tax Paver.
