Au Biection Dodge.

‘* A party of engineers will shortly be de- spatched to Prince Edward Island, under Mr. McLeod. This is supposed to be a move on the part of the Premier, to influ- ence the elections in that Province.

We clip the above from an Ottawa de- spatch. We presume the engineers will be employed in making surveys for the pro- posed branch line of railway between Cape Traverse and the main line.

The people of this Province are well aware that they have not to thank Mr. McKenzie or either of his five silent sup- porters for even the favor of a visit from ‘‘a party of engineers.” Had not Winter Steam Communication with the mainland been stipulated for by Messrs. Pope, Havi- land and Howlan, the ‘‘party of engineers” would not have been sent here just before an election—even after five years of neglect or bungling experiment.

It is also safe to say that, had the visit of the ‘‘party of engineers” depended upon the representations of the ‘‘silent five,” it would never have been thought of.

Pronounced Differences in the Council.

A cate despatch from Berlin to the New York Herald says a most important incident terminated the first session of Congress on Thursday. It is reported that Beacons- field demanded energetically that arrange ments be at once made by which the Rus- sian army and British fleet withdraw simul- taneously from the vicinity of Constanti- nople during the sessions of Congress, so as to remove all possible source of danger to the peace of Europe until a final settle- ment was arrived at. And it is said that Gortschakoff expressed the strongest oppo- sition to this proposal, insisting on the necessity of the Russian forces remaining in the positions they now occupied until Congress came to a final decision on the questions to be laid before it. This pro- nounced divergence of opinion showed the diplomats present the extreme delicacy and difficulty of the task they had under- taken and dissipated the sanguine expecta- tions with which some had come to the Congress. Andrassy, seeing the danger of the situation, made a strong appeal to the Russian and English representatives to comprise the matter for the time being, so that Congress might go on with its work, but neither would yield a single point and even Andrassy’s appeal was in vain.

The Rev.;George Steele’s Lecture.

Tue Rev. George Steele delivered his lecture on ‘‘ Daniel” last evening, in the Second Methodist Church. The chair was occupied by Dr. R. Johnson, who delivered a short and appropriate address, in which he said it was unnecessary for him to intro- duce to the audience assembled the widely known and highly honored lecturer—the Rev. George Steele. The lecturer on rising stated, that he was much pleased to see the Doctor in the chair. It was not necessary for him to introduce himself to the audience present He regretted that his pressing ministerial duties prevented him from so filling his mind with the lecture which he had prepared, as to allow him to set aside his manuscript. The lecturer proceeded to relate the jistorical narrative of the revolt of the ten tribes of Israel from the tribe of Judah, and pointed out the fact that those kings which had lived wicked lives, were early cut off from this world; while the good kings were generally long-lived. It was, in conseqnence of the wickedness of

one of the kings of Judah, that Jerusalem was beseiged by Nebu- chadnezzar, and the inhabitants

carried into captivity among them Daniel, one of the Princes of the Royal Tribe of Judah. The lecturer adhered very faith- fully to the narrative recorded in the Book of Daniel. Thos? in the audience who merely came together, prompted by the same idle curiosity as the Athenians of old, ‘“‘to hear something new,” were not grati- fied. The story of Daniel and his faitbful- ness to the worship of the God of his fathers is always interesting, but when re-

lated or read for the first time, it cannot fail to charm and _ interest the most indifferent. The lecturer proved, from the success of Daniel,

that men can be great and successful in this world, as well as make their ‘‘ calling and election sure” in the next. In this opinion he concurs with Dr. Punshon, who deliv- ered a lecture here on the same subject. The lecturer, last night, spoke of the jeal- ousy :nanifested by the Princes towards Daniel, when they induced King Darius to issue a decree by which Daniel might be involved in disobedience and be laid open to the penalty of being thrown into the lion’s den. ‘the lecturer here modestly de- from tne historical account, and re-

ted the conversation which took lace between ,Daniel and the other Sem who were captives in Babylon. They endeavcred to presuade him to give up his habit for once of praying in his chamber with his face towards Jerusalem, in order that both he and they might escape punish- ment. The Rev. lecturer stated that the jealously shown by the Princes arose from the fact that Daniel was a Jew and a foreigner, and made a point no doubt when he said that we Islanders do not show the most amiable spirit to those who

EXAMINER,

are not natives. We refuse positions of honor to those who are not ‘‘to the manor born.” We trust that those who listened to the lecture will take the hint so gracefully given and receive all those who come to dwell among us with open arms and always show a spirit of friendliness. We may go farther and say a gushing tenderness towards strangers, not even stopping to ask ourselver whether they possess intellectual yr moral qualities which entitle them to our confidence. The proceeds of the lecture are to be given to the Sunday school in con

nection with the church. We regret for the sake of the school that the attendance was not large. But those present appreciated the laudable effort of the pastor of the church to increase its funds.

THE QUEBEC RIOTS.

JOURNEY OF THE VOLUNTEERS. RECEPTION

IN QUEBEC.--THE ST. ROCH’S MEETING \ND PROCESSION.——-COWED BY THE MILI- TARY.—LATEST ASPECT OF THE SITU- ATION,

Queue, June 13.

After leaving the Bonaventure station last night at 10, very little time was lost in making the men comfortable. Thirteen ears in all constituted the train, the oflicers’ ear being in the rear, the next three the Victoria Rifles, the Prince of Wales and the Royal Fusiliers in their order. The cheering at the station from the thousands assembled told of the deep interest mani- fested in the movements of the volunteers, while the rousing answering cheers were in- dication of the enthusiasm of the troops. At Point St. Charles, St. Lambert, and, in fact, all the stations along the line, there had collected crowds of people, who cheered enthusiastically as the special flew by on its jour iey.

ARRIVAL AT

It had become cold, and the novelty com- menced to wear off, the journey and the fun to become monotonous, when the top of the citadel came in sight shortly after 6 o’clock, and at 7 the brigade were in Levis. With- out any delay the regiments were marched on board of the Grand Trunk ferry boats, reaching Quebec in a few minutes after- wards. They formed up at the Market wharf, the Prince of Wales Rifles leading, and after a halt of some five or ten minutes marched to the citadel. At the wharf Col. Strange, accompanied by Capt. Montizam- bert, received the troops and welcomed them very warmly.

At the hall an incident occurred which gave an illustration of the proverbial steadi- ness of the men. One of the men of No. 1 company, named D. Mahoney, fell suddenly to the ground in an epileptic fit. Of course there was some excitement among the by- standers, but Dr. Campbell ordered a file of men to remove Mahoney from the ground into a store near by. The ranks were filled up and stood steadily. Mahoney was subse- quently driven to the Citadel, where he re- covered.

QUEBEC.

WARNED.

The crowd, during the halt of the troops at this point, gave vent to their feelings, while the women, who had congregated on the steps, yelled alond epithets which shewed that Quebec has a crowd of loafers, male and female, which are of the lowest possible description in the social scale. Among the crowd men cursed the Montreal Volunteers soundly, and ‘*We'll show them the right about to-day ;’ “The St. Rochs boys will make small work of that hungry- looking lot,” and other phrases were mut- tered, while not a few taunted the troops with ‘‘You fellows will be sorry for coming here,” and ‘‘I wouldn’t like to stand in your shoes,” &c. The Prince of Wales’ men, leading, had of course the most of this fire directed upon them, but little was said by any of the men, who smiled quietly, con- fident that it would take a great many thousand of Quebec loafers to send them to the right about. _ The by-standers also begged the troeps to fire in the air if ordered to action during the day. This sort of thing was broughi to a close by Colonel Fletcher’s order, ‘‘Brigade will ad- vance,” and the quick march given to each regiment soon had them in motion. The Prince of Wales’ moved along Paul street at the trial; the Royals next at the slope, with fixed bayonets, while the Victoria Rifles brought up the rear. The troops filed up Mountain Hill, presenting a sight such as Quebec has not seen for many a day, and when opposite the Parliament buildings the B Battery gave them the salute, while the Eight Royals, under Col. Alleyn marched out of the grounds and_ proceeded as an escort of honor to accompany them to the Citadel. The men were formed upon Cita- del Square, and in a few moments Colonel Strange announced that they would be quartered at the Skating Rink, and should take their meals at the, Citadel, one com- pany marching to the attack at a time, leaving their arms under guard at the Rink. The otlicers were quartered in the part of the Citadel known as the Governor’s quar- ters, and were soon enjoying breakfast and other hospitality proferred very generously by the officers of B Battery.

ARRESTS.

A prisoner named Francois Forest was arrested, and was delivered te the custody of Major Hatton, of the Prince of Wales Rifies, in command of the guard at the jail. Captain Tatlow, Lt. Patterson and three sergeants and 32 men of No. 1 Co. Prince of Wales are on guard at the jail, and the remainder of the regiment are at the Rink under arms. Isabere Lapointe, suspected of being a strong leader, was arrested by Detective Skeffington. He is a brown- faced young man, not bad looking, and be- longs to the village of St. Charles. Four others were also arrested.

THE ST. ROCHS MEETING,

The rioters met at St. Rochs this morn- ing at half-past 7 o’clock, and were har- rangued by their leaders, who are deter- mined to have ‘‘ Blood or death” as one of the ringleaders put it. After some cheer- jing a tall, stout man mounted a water cart,

and addressing the crowd told them that the Montreal troops had arrived, and there- fore they could do nothing. He alvised that the strikers remain quiet until the troops return to Montreal, and then they would eke out their vengeance. He con- cluded by saying that ‘blood was yet to be shed, and when the time comes we will shed it.” Amanin the crowd then unfurled a flag, and called upon all who wanted bread or blood to follow him. About fifty did so, but when they came upon the scene of the fight yesterday, they stopped and dispersed. The tlag-bearer then furled his flag and walked away. At about half-past three o'clock this afternoon the Victoria Rifles and one hundred men of B Battery patroll- ed St. Roch’s, but no enemy appeared, and the troops, after marching all through the district, returned. MR. JOLY’S PROGRAMME.

[t is said that Mr. Joly, the Minister of Public Works, will issue a programme, call- ing upon all who wish to go to work to-mor- row to doso and protection will be fur- nished. Should the rioters then make their appearance no mercy will be shown them, and the volunteers will fight it out on the spot. A crowd has been in the vicinity of the Parliament Buildings all day, but nothing more severe than threats were used and a few men were arrested. Mayor Jeaudry was at the Parliament Buildings when the Fifth Royals changed guards with B battery, and he congratulated the men upon their fine appearance. He offered to treat the mento bread, beer and cheese, but his liberality was declined with suitable acknowledgment.

MISSING,

The contractor, Mr. Cimon, whom the rioters were looking for with a view of hang- ing up to dry, has disappeared allogether, and Mr. Chambers, the Mayor, is also among the missing. He is probably in a safe place, as is also Mr. Cimon.

THE LATEST. Qunbrc, June 13, 8 p. m.

[ have just come from a tour through St.

tochs, where I find very sullen excitement smouldering. The Jacques Cartier Market Hall outside is surrounded by a crowd of a couple of hundred men. They are not of the kind one would expect to see; all are mechanics, respectably dressed and with the air of men who would do anything rather than engage in such doings as disgraced the city last evening. They do not talk as if they would burn Quebec, and deny that they are bloodthirsty fellows at all. A Belgian made the following speech :—

‘Fellow workmen—If L die during the struggle I hope you will have some one to fill my place. It is said that politics has to do with it. I deny it. Fellow-workmen, we are poor; our fomilies have no bread; they are starving, and unless we get $1 per day we will have blood.” (Applause. )

After this extraordinary speech was made Robert Smith addressed them in the English language, telling them that they ought to be peaceable and assault no one. He thought he could manage to settle their difficulties if they would name delegates to meet the con- tractors and citizens. This they refused.

THE PROCESSION.

They immediately formed into procession, some 500 strong, and marched through the streets till they reached the Esplanade, where they dispersed. It is hardly likely that they will attempt any more trouble to- night, and from my observations, made after a two hours’ investigation, there is

LITTLE CAUSE FOR ALARM HEREAFTER. The men appear thoroughly cowed, and are surprised at the steady bearing and con- fidence of the Montreak troops. Speaking of this, it may be said that the oificers and men to-day received the congratulations of scores of their fellow-townsmen, while the following, from the ‘‘Telegraph, tells only a little of what the Quebec people think of them :—

“They looked remarkably weil, particu- larly the redeoats, who seem to be a fine body of men. The march, precision, and whole appearance reflected great credit on the men, considering that they had only a few hours’ notico to prepare for their de- parture. Nearly the whole of the troops from Montreal consist of clerks and young mechanies, and their response to the call to arms is really flattering.”

The Victoria Ritles dined at the St. Louis Hotel to-night, and the other troops at the Citadel.

THE NIGHT PATROL.

A patrol of special constables 1s just now organizing for the night, and will be under the immediate control of the police autho- rities.

Some seven prisoners in all were arrest- ed to-day, and these will be examined when the excitement clears away. The inquest has not yet been held on the body of Ed- ward Boudoire, but it appears that he is a native of St. Malo. France, and the soldiers say, was very actively engaged in stone- throwing. A large shed which stands at the bottom of the hill, where the rioters were fired into, was riddled with balls, and a man named Beaufoy lay upon the tloor of the shed during the firing. A boy named Mullins was shot in the cheek, and some seven of eight others were wounded, among them one Caron, of Daiguillon street, who was shot in the arm, and Mr. Forgues, an employee on the North Shore Railway, re- ceived a shot in the leg.

THE PROCLAMATION,

A proclamation, issued a few moments ago, reads as follows :—

** Attention is directed to thé resolution of the Magistrates of this district,adopted at a meeting held this day :”

Whereas, Workingmen have been pre- vented by great numbers of evil disposed persons from earning an honest subsistence for themselves and their families, notice is hereby given that effective repressive measures have been adopted, and will be vigorously enforced for the protection of all men employed in the exercise of their law- ful callings in every part of this city of Que- bec. No crowd of men will be allowed topa-

rade the streets ; all crowds assembling near

by workshops, yards, mills, buildings in or upon which workmen are being employed will be forcibly disp: tsed, and in conge- quence all citizens are earnestly requested to abstain from taking any part in_ such meetings, and to resume work as usual. ‘1, CHAMBERS, ‘*Mayor. “Ouebee, 13th June, 1878.” CONCERL BY THE FUSILTERS. The Royal Fusiliers on guard at the Par-

during the evening, earning the applause of hundreds of admiring Quebecers. The Vic- torias go on duty to-morrow, relieving the Prince of Wales’ at the Jail. (Press Dispatch. )

Numbers of strange, haggard-looking men are roaming about the distant and unfre- quented streets near the Grand Allee and

the effect that they will call for money and must have it in an hour. They have called and have received money from the terrified occupants of many houses.

A rumor has been circulated to the effect that the mob intends cutting off the water supply and firing the city, but this is be- lieved to be an idle threat.

The Royal Fusileers, of Montreal, are bivouacked to-night in the Parliament House, and are lying al] over the passages, etc. A large number of other citizens were sworn in to-night as special constables, and are now parading the streets. Everything is now very quiet.
