The Polling for the Scott Act. To the Editor af the Examiner.

Dear Srr.—As you are well aware, the friends of the Scott Act turned out man- fully on the 23rd September last, and re- corded their votes in its favor. The result must be gratifying to those who have grown grey in the cause. Although intemperance toa certain extent was almost unknown amongst the people of Graham’s Read, yet they felt it to be their duty to remove that monster from their suffering fellow men. They felt that they would no longer be witnesses to the fact that some of our young beys were gratuitonsly offered Jodg- ing in the Police cells ef Charlottetown ; they would no longer hear, $6 or 20 days imposed for drunk and disorderly driving upen the streets. The members of «Forest 'Home Division deserve great credit for the manner in which they have done their duty, although some began to grow luke- warm towards the eleventh hour.

Yours, &c.,

The Late Walking Match.

Vo the Editor of the Examiner.

Sir,—In yesterday’s ‘‘ daily,” Mr. H. &. Hart, has given your readers what he sup- poses isa sufficient explanation regarding the late contest —or go as you please match in Summerside. But permit ine here to say itis not quite satisfactory—and very many of those whe went to see the contest are stillfull of the effects of chagrin at being as they believed duped.

Can’t Mr. George Clow give some further information to the public, on this affair, being that he took a lively interest in: the arrangements as welj as the contest, and no doubt came out safe in the matter, ftnan- cially as the door and saloen proceeds were not a little, and the bets were well put, every one of the.

Mr. Hart says that ‘‘Unknown” has a race in hand in the United States and for that reason did not wish to make a good record on the Island, hence the title assu med ‘* Unknown,” who at present by the way, is prepared to match Clow again, and if he end Mr. Clow can only get up a good, ‘‘oo if they can” in Charlottetown or else- where, with good prospects for betting, Kc. { fancy the United Staies race might be conveniently postponed, po lve vice, pos- sibly Mr. Hart can prove that ‘‘Unknown” (as he stys) never saw Clow until they met at Summerside —Sueh proof -s necessary to allay suspleion.

Yours, ee. (JURRY.

“fi: Te. the Editor of the Evaminer.

Drar Sirn—tn your issue of the 17th insi. appears an article over the signature of M. Laverty, challenging the writer in the Ex- AMINER of the LOth inst. ‘‘to come to the surface’ and prove one of the ‘‘scornful rssertions’ inserted in the letter of ‘‘A Farmer.” Mr. Laverly was well aware who was the author of said letter before he sent his last epistle te the Examiner for publication. Lest, however, any doubt should existin his mind respecting the writer of said letter, or that any innocent person should be charged with the same, [ wish to inform him that I am the author of said letter, and there is no statement con- tained in it respecting Mr. Laverty but I am prepared to substantiate.

In his letter of the 15th inst. he states: ‘Fair criticism is never objected to on any public question. On the contrary it is nec- essary and wholesome. There are certain qualities, however, which should be pos- sessed by any person who constitutes him- self a critic, viz., a knowledge of the sub- ject npon which he writes, ability to write the Englishlanguage correctly, and a cour- teous and gentlemanly manner of treating his fellow men.” These lines, no doubt, contain a large amount of prudence and common sense. But when we censider they are not original, but transcribed by Mr. Laverty, the credit is due to the anther and not to the copyist. Who would think such a polemical writer as the second-class teacher of the Fort Augustus Scheol, who uses words of six and seven syllables with as much ease, apparently, as a common scholar does the alphabet, would be guilty of plagiarism? Let us examine this learned geutleman’s last three letters, viz., ‘‘Notes from Fort Augustus” ‘‘Notes by the Way,” and the last over his own signature, and see the spatteien and gentlemanly treatment he has extended to his fellow men. In his letter of 27th August, which he endeavors ' to deny through a point of evasion, he states

that those who have been engaged hereto- | fore in buying produce at ovr wharves are | “eommission gobblers, things of bad repute | and lew vital powers, the bane of commerce ‘and the curse of trade, and their death | knell, commercial or otherwise, should be hailed with delight.” The reader will ‘understand by these statements the cour- teeus and gentlemanly treatment the learned teacher has extended to his fellow men, ‘when he peruses these few lines ‘and finds his perfidiousness, his unwarrant- able attack and his inconsistent conduct towards men who have frequently risked their funds in shipping the products of the farmer and very often had to accept fifty

per cent of the amount transaction.

Had this talented gentleman endeavonr- ed, throngh his writings, to form a’ Farm- ers Club in [ert Augustus, and get him- self elected President of said Club, he would then be in a pesition to offer some inducements to strangers to give him a call, and some gaurantee that they would be well treated and receive a good article for their money. This course Mr. Laverty has not pursued, nur made any suggestions which would tend to improve the farmers present condition, but rushed into slander- Ing men’s reputations without establishing any proof for his unmaniy and unjust as- sertious. The venomous serpent coiled up in the grass, watching its chance to drive its poisonous fang into the passer-by, is no worse than the masked writer whe at- tempts to destroy his fellowman’s character Without a just and reasonable cause. No doubt this sensitive teacher feels a little annoyed at my allusion to his lowering the standard of education inthe Fort Augustus School, but [ think the public will gen- erally agree with me on this point when they read his letter of the 10th inst., un- der the heading of ‘‘ Notes by the Way,” and find that this intelligent gentleman, in his description of Monaghan Settlement and Lake Verd, asserts that the ‘‘ beauti- ful corn fields, and the comfortable farm houses greeted him during his journey.”

if Mr. Laverty can substantiate his state- ments in this matter, 1 must freely admit that I never considered there was such a saintly person in our midst, nor have [ shown him that respect which his exalted position requires.

The respect tendered to the high crown- ed Kings and Emperors of Europe, who have millions of subjects at their ¢om- mand, all sink into insignificance in com- parison to that which has been tendered by the cornfields and dwelling houses of the Monaghan Settlement, to the uncrowned teacher of the Fert Augustus School.

In his letter of the 12th he accuses me of charging the people of Fort Augustus with ‘‘dishonest practices.” This is not true, and only goes io prove his inability to analyse my statement correctly. On this peint at no distant day I may be compelled to show where dishonest practices have been perpetrated by certain individuals.

Inconclusion, Mr, Editor, Ithank you in advance for your valuable space, and trust I shall not be called upon again to say anything more on this trifling subject. Should this learned teacher wish to con- tinue, I trust he will lay aside his Billings- gate, produce facts in his own composition, and not appear like the proud Jack-daw, in borrowed plumage, lest his old friends might abandon him, and his new found ones despise him.

Yours truly, J. H. CumMiskry. Fort Augustus, Sept. 20, 1880.
