DOMINION PARLIAMENT

NOTES OF THE SESSION,

ELECTION CASE,-~—SUMMARY

OF DEBATR,

KiNG’s COUNTY

After brief routine business Mr. Cameron (Huron) moved resumption of the adjourned

cebate on the King’s County (P. E. L) clection case The issues raised in this case are (1).

Whether the returning officer is purely ministerial, bound to return the candidate having the greatest number of votes irres-

pective of known disqualification of snch |

candidate. (2) Whether the returning officer has the right to exercise judicial powers and refuse to return the cand! late having the greatest number of votes on the ground of disqualification made known to such returning officer. The (Opposition contend that Robertson had a majority over Macdonald; that the House should amend the ofticer’s return, and delare entitled to the seat. The Governmen! contend that the returning oflicer having made a double return, showing circum

side

stances of certain disqualifications known to | © exist, 1t Was therefore competent tor the |

House to refer the matter to the committee on election privileges for consideration.

Mr. mittee, because in the number of pre- cedents cited by the mover of the original motion, it appeared that the former practice of the House had been to insist that return- ing officers shall discharge their simple duty of returning a candidate who had received the majority of votes. If there was an

honest doubt as to what the duty of these | returning officers was, the House will be | k snzie’s amendment and Amyot made a . * . . ; . : nena saci nil aaa aia aaa justified in referring the question to the rousing Speech, de nyipg the insinuations He contended that it was a/t#rown un mittee on De. | Elections and Privileges and claiming that Robertson, who had received the largest | the proper duty of the House was to refer = + . .

There

made. only a special return. He claimed that Dr. Robertson ought to be allowed to take his

seat, and having taken his seat it would be) for the House to say whether or not the!

case should be investigated.

Mr. Brecken said that while he agree with the last speaker that the general duties of the returning officer should be migis- terial rather than judicial, he did not agree with him that the official had no right to question the eligibility of the candidate in this case. In May last Dr. Robertson was elected for the Local Legislature, and in the following month he sent in his resigna- tion and accepted the nomination for the Federal eiection. The same returning officer who made this return was the same official who had returned him for the previous local election, and no man had a better kuowledge of the fact than he. Under a local law seven days would yet have had to expire before Dr. Robertson could divest himself of his character as a

docal member, and there was, therefore, ave reason to doubt his qualification.

e had no doubt that the returning officer would have done better to return the candi- date having the largest number of votes, but as that had not been done, he saw no dangerous precedent to be established by referring the matter to a committee,

Mr. McCarthy followed with such a jodi- cial analysis of law bearing on the points at isse as won the admiration of a vast majority of the House, but the Opposition leaders were badly disturbed. He con- tended that the election law of 1874 must be interpreted by the light of judicial practice, this House guided by parliament- ary eleotion practice, and quoted Rogers and Bushby on election practice. That the returning ofticer in this case having properly made a double return, thereby calling the attention of this House to all the circum stances, it was therefore proper that this House should refer it for consideration to its own proper committee.

The debate on the King’s County, P. E. I., double return question was resumed by Cameron of Victoria who held that, asa great diversity of opinion existed among the lawyers of the house, the laymen should be given an opportunity to hear full facts before Committee on Privileges and Elections. Coming to the point whether the duties of returning officers are judicial

COMMUNICATION WITH P. E. ISLAND,

The committes on steam communication | between P. E. Island and the Mainland linet to-day. Mr. Coombs was examined. He

{thought that communication could be kept up for a greater part of the winter between

weather, when the route between the Capes would have to be resorted to. He recom- mended that on account of the shortness of the route, the latter should ultimately be adopted both in winter and summer ; also that larger boats be built, to be of greater use in open water ; also recommends a steamer larger, but of lighter draft, than the ‘* Northern Light” for winter service. The committee will not meet again till the arrival of the Captain of the ‘‘ Northern Light,” whose attendance has been request- ed by telegraph.

NEW ROLLING STOCK.

Sir Charles Tupper laid before the House areturn showing the quantity of rolling stock purchased for the Intercolonial Rail- way during the year ending Dee. 31st, 1882, which shows that there were purchased :

16 Engines, costing $197 ,70)

13 Second-class cars, ‘‘ 42,150 1 Comb. Ist & 2nd, ‘ 3,360

2 Postal & smoking, ‘‘ 5,760 150 Box freight " 97 ,000 400 Coal - 216,000

Besides the foregoing there have been built in the Government work shops, 12 conductor's vans, 6 box cars, 11 cattle cars, and 20 platform cars.

MontreaL, March 9,—The telegraphic reports announcing saow in Great Britain, and storm and blockades in Nova Scotia, I have been daily expecting, as in the March Bulletin such were clearly predicted. These foreign weather phenomena are indicted or heralded by certain signs I term “ relation- ship,” and wccur in cycles. The March snowfall and storm in Great Britain actu- ally cecurs once in every three years, yet the people have not observed this fact. In this feature lies the secret of my successes in weather forecasting, namely, in noticing what others do not. It is like the cold dip on St. Andrew’s Day, and the cold snap

SHIP NEWS.

Steamer Devon, from Bristol, at New York, reports on March 4th to 6th she passed 12 large icebergs, and sailed through 50 miles of field ice.

The Norweigian steamer Odin was wrecked on January 23d, on the Island of Tang Yugr, on the China ceast. The ship and cargo are a total loss. ‘The crew were saved, and after escaping the attacks of piratical natives suc- ceeded in reachi' g Foo Chow and Hong Kong.

The Norwegian bark Sarah, from New York for Hamburg, has been abandoned a total wreck. !hreeof the crew were drowned. The remainder have arrivedat London,

The British ship Canon Harrison, from Ca.- cutta for Liverpool, was abandoned Feb. 3rd. The crew have been landed at Liverpool.

The British ship Wiltshire, at Queenstown from San Francisco, reports that she fell in with the British steamer Gardenia, in distress, and towed her until Feb 2]st, when, in lat. 39 north, long. 20 west, she was obliged to abandon her, the wind being adverse. ‘The Gardenia, which left Neweastle, England, Jan 22nd, for} New York, was taken in tow February 11, by steamer Boyne, in lat, 42, lon 49, but the line parted and the Boyne left the Gardenia on the 12th.

The name of the steamer lost on the way from Copeuhagen to Leith, was the Navarre, not the Navane. Altogether six of the crew and ten passengers were saved, Survivers give the following acecunt of the loss of the steamer on Tuesday. When 2@0 miles from Christiansand, the Navarre was struck by a heavy sea. The cargo shifted and on Wed- nesday the forehold filled. When a fishing smack approached the Navarre ten men took a boat and boarded the smack, letting their small boats go adrift. The smack sailed around the sinking steamer, but having no boat was unable to render her assistance. The emigrants in the meantime were clinging to the rigging, the sea washing overthem. Ina short time another smack arrived on the scene. Fifteen of the Navarre’s men endeavored to reach her in another boat, but it swamped and all its occupants were drowned. A steamer arrived at the spot only in time to rescue six persons who were struggling in the water when the Navarre was foundering.

Alexander Hotzsand, a Swede, wh> was bound for Minnesota, and who lost his wife, and four children, has arrived at Hull Mannal, who, for nearly an hour, was clinging to a piece of timber, states that the Navarre’s pumps were found to be useless. All on board bailed the vessel as much as they could, The captain seemed stupefied; he was hurt on

Tuesday, and from that time until the vessel sunk, drank to keep up his spirits

A survivor states that there were only five cork jackets on board the Navarre. Mannal says a large boat which the saifrs took away without attempting to rescue anyone would hold thirty persons more than were in her.

There were 25 persons on board the Navarre when she sank who made no effort to save

themseves. Mannal charges the captain with cowardice, and says many more might have been saved.
