he proportioned to the warmth with which he will be welcomed.

The London Time 8 says ; The Governor- Generalship opens a career to the Marcus of Lorne that may be some compensation for the political activity from which his inarriage cut him off at home. He is well- known, intelligent, cultivated, with an in- terest in the colonial empire of England, vi which he gave proof in his early travels and writings. He inherits the political reputa- tion of one of the ‘* governing families” o! Great Britain; and in Canada, so abun- dantly peopled by Scottish settlers, his heirship of Mecallum Moore will count for a good deal. But the most significant omn- sequences of the Marquis of Lorne ae pointment will be, if we are not mistaken, the effect on public opinion mn Canada of its bare announcement. It will be hailed, we have no doubt, as the most popular act of policy that the Imperial Government has ever carried out since the Domimon was feunded.

Toe Dairy EXAMINER,

AUGUST 38, 1878.

Where the True Issue Lies. Under this heading the Toronto Tel jr 1 has an exceedingly able article, witch,

coming from & horoughly independent

source, is worthy of much consideration. After expressing his personal respev: for Mr. McKenzie, the writer says :—

‘* But whilst we are convinced of Mr. Mac kenzie’s personal honesty, we are by no means of the opinion that he has the necessary abil- ity required *for the proper management of Dominion affairs. Mr. Mackenzie would make a first-rate departmental supervisor; he is hard-working, honest and energetic, but has never evinced the slightest evidence of states- manlike grasp, and is iacking in many of those essential quatities without which no man can hope to successfully hold the highest position in the bestowal of a country. A Premier in name only, he has done nothing to justify the electorate in returning him to power for another term. On the contrary, by persistently draw- ing a hard and fast line as his political guide —or allowing it to be drawn for him, which is just the same thing—he has stood by and seen a wave of commercial disaster wash over the country without raising a finger to arrest the great mischief it has wrought upon the people.

No thinking man fora moment supposes that the Government is answerable for a commercial crisis, any more than it is answerable fora visitation of Asiatic cholera, cattle disease or epizootic, although some of the irrational Tory papers have used every argument they were capable of and fairly exhausted the dictionary in trying to prove this the case. Such reb- bish may do duty with a certain class, but we doubt if any save the most ignorant could swallow without a qualm these very far- fetched ideas. But while not responsible for a visitation of cholera or the like, what would be thought of rulers who would steadily shut their eyes to the fact that it was decimating their people ; who would refuse to pass sanitary measures ; who would allow infected persons to and fro across their frontiers indifferently, and who would be deaf to all appeals from their stricken citizens or would reply that legislation in their behalf was useless, and de- cline moving in the matter? We fancy the country would utter no uncertain sound, but would speedily bring in a verdict that such men inisunderstood their position and responsi- bilities and were absolutely incompetent to be entrusted with the goveraing power. The practice of legislative tinkering is, without

doubt, repreliensible and dangerous ; : but there are cases where a readjust- ment ot legislation is not only judicious but positively essential, © Can-

ala has staggered, is yet staggering, under commercial cholera; her trade and manuafac- tures are convulsed, the ranks of her skilled mechanics are demoralized, and the promoters of the disease are allowed to stalk the country at will, without any eflort to exclude them. Judicious legislation will remove much of the plague, will restore the wasted energies of the manufacturers, will give work to the unem- ployed, and consequently money to the idle storekeepers, will keep the best men in the country, and finally, by removing glaring ine- qualities of taxation and properly readjusting tae tariff, will benetit the whole people, with- out adding to the cost of living or otherwise making Canada that detestable land which the ultra free traders would have us believe. It is upon this issue the country now stands. The people will speedily have au opportunity of de- ciding whether they will accept another term ef incompetent do-nothingism and commer- cial stagnation, or of statesmanship upon a broad and liberal basis, looking to tue success of the country at large, and with a keep ap- preciation of how to seize and make the best of every opportunity offered. Protection, pure and simple, is not by any means the thing for this country, and those who advocate it are making a great mistake. But that protection which is implied ina skilful readjustment of the tariff is what Canada needs, and what she will have.” 6a —

A Ciever Youne Istanper.—We are proud to see that our athletic young friend, Mr. John T. Stewart, of Cardigan Bridge, has not only distinguished himself, but sus- tained the good reputation of Islanders in a strange land. At a Scottish gathering in Portland, Oregon, on the 4th ult., we tind him carrying off several prizes for physical exploits which won the admiration of his associates. ‘Che Uregonian credits him with having won the first prizes in numerous games. —Georgetown Advertiser.

City Council.

Tun City Council met last evening for the transaction of sundry business. 7 he Mayor, Recordor and all the Councillors were present with the exception of the re- “ring senior of Ward 2.

The chairman of the Market Committee reported ve ‘ally on the petition recently received from Mrs. Martha Goodman, who asks for the payment of the dainages she sustained by being ejected from the market house six weeks before the lease of the apartment she occupied had expired. The chairman said it was difficult to arrive at a proper estimation of the damages sustained. Mrs. Goodman was ejected, and after ejec- tion she had to remove to the market cellar. which place she had to clean out and also hire a watchman to protect her goods. She billed the city for $80 damages, which amount he thought too high. It was, on motion, agreed that the bill of damages be reduced to $50 and then paid.

The report of the Tinance Committee, consisting of sundry accounts against the city, was then read. The bill of Messrs. Morris & Hyndman for rent of cottage for park keeper was objected to by Councillors Smith and Harris. They claim that the Corporation never engaged a house for the park keeper, and thought the idea that the Corporation should pay the park keeper's house rent, perfectly ridiculous. _The bill was ordered to lie on the table.

Regarding the offer made by Mr. Owen Connolly to exchange a belt of land where- with to make a street, for the ground on which is erected No. 2 engine house, the chairman of the special committee reported that they had taken no action in the matter. The ground of the engine house has, we un- derstand, been purchased specially for the Fire Department, and therefore cannot be transferred for any other purpose by the City.

A letter was read from Messrs. MeKin- non & Fraser regarding the increased de- mand of water at Spring Park. They state that a daily supply of 39,060 gallons is at present required ; they are willing to pump that amount for the sum of $1.50 per day, Council agreeing to make necessary repairs to the pump and find oil, ete. At present the daily supply pumped by Messrs. Me- Kinnon & Frazer is 12,000 gallons, for which they receive 50 cents per day. The demand for the water has so increased that 30,609 gallons per day will hereafter be re- quired. ‘The matter was discussed fully by the Council, and a Committee of three was appointed to enquire and report upon the matter at next meeting of Council.

Complaint was made by several of the residents of the East end regarding the new well which is being dug at the Gas Works. They state that it is the cause of several wells at the east end being dry. Nothing can be done to benefit the complainints, unless the suggestion of one of the Coun- cillors be acted upon, i. e., to clean out the wells while they are dry. This is correct; for as soon as the well at the Gas Works is sufliciently deep, and the water is per- mitted to rise in it, water will also return to the others. Therefore, we advise that the wells be immediately attended to.

Councillor Byrne asked the Chairman of the Street Committee if he had inspected the platforms laid by Mr. Gordon. The Chairman replied that he had inspected all that were reported to him complete. Coun- cillor Byrne stated that he had lifted up the plankway in the vicinity of the corner of Great George and Dorchester streets. He did so in order to save the city from damages, as the place which he lifted was unsafe, and the planking was laid in a man- ner which was totally disreputable. There were several complaints of a similar nature made, but no action was taken to remedy the evil. Council then adjourned.

THE McCARTHY MURDER. Dorcuesrer, Aug. 1.

The Court opened at ten o'clock. Mr. Palmer asked permission to bring some wit- nesses at this stage for the defence. Dr. Tuck would not object, providing they were treated as though the prosecution had closed and the defence opened.

Charles R. Merrick, apple tree agent, of West Troy, Maine, was then called. He said he kept a diary last year, and produced it.

To Dr. ‘tuck-—He said iie made the entries in the diary in the evening or the next morn- ing always. He did this on the 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th of October, 1877. He never posted the week’s work at the end of the week. He made the entries cf October 19th and 20th at Summerside, P. E. I.

To Mr. Palmer, who handed him his diary —he read from the 9th of October, showing that he went from Moncton on the I1th to Shediac and got board at the Waverley House (Osborne’s) on Thursday 12th of October. He was at the Waverley all day. It was raining

hard. He spoke of the place being lonesome with no excitement but rum. He went to

Point du Chene on Saturday, the 13th. On Sunday, 14th, he was at the boardirg house all day. Here witness produced a letter writ- ten at Shediae on Sunday, l4th, to his wife. The envelope is stamped Shediac P. O., Oct. 15th, 1877. The letter and envelope were shown to the juryaud His Honor. Witnessthen read the diary showing sales on the 15th, and of his, with other men, going to Prince Ed- ward Island on the 16th (Tuesday), their sales there, and return to Shediac the 22nd, dinner at Weldon House and returned to Moncton. expenses, beginning Oct. 10th, atter which he testified verbally. He made the bargain with John Osborne tor board, and stayed every night in the house. The room was over the ladies’ sitting room, poorly ; he used a cane in walking. was not out after dark the night of the 12th.

notice his being lame or anything peculiar about his feet ; witness went to his room and wrote in his diary ; then went to bed; being unwell, his sleep could not be called sound ; any great noise would have aroused him. He heard nothing unusual through the night ; did not notice anything like serubbing ia the halt.

Next morning took my breakfast with my ,

partners in the dining-room. Eliza waited on the table ; saw Harry that morning, and think I saw John Osborne, after breakfast. I was in the bar-room only twice while at the Wav- erly ; saw an express-wagon at Osborne’s barn on the 12th that Harry said belonged to a

Frenchman who sold the beef. Saw another wagon there, standing in the barn, with a horse toit. I saw this wagon that was brought here yesterday, and it does not, in my opimmion, re- semble the one I saw at Osborne’s. There was one Dorion, a Frenchmen, stopping at Osborne's at this time.

To Dr. Tuck—-I cannot swear that Harry was not lame, or did not weara rubber ; don't know whether the floor was scrubbed or not. [Envelope of letter shown again.} ‘The only post staimp on it is Shediac. They do not stamp letters coming to West Troy, Maine : they stamp letters when leaving there. I have received several letters from differnt parts of Maine unstamped.

'’o Mr. Palmer—I saw no light when we went to bed but the one in our room.

Stephen J. Sturgess, partner with Merrick, was next sworn. He testified to going to Waverley House, Shediac, from Moncton, on the 12th of October,the day being rainy. John Osborne was quite feeble and used a cane. Witness said he saw Annie Parker there the evening of the 12th. Referring to the two wagons in the barn, he says he heard nothing peculiar through the night and did not notice anything peculiar next morning.

To Dr. Tuck—Witness said he could not identify the wagon here as the one he saw there. He saw the wagon at Osborne's the 12th, the day it was so wet. Witness pro- duced his book. He said he has an entry the ith of Oct., 1877, fare to Shediac and return 21 cents, which is not right. He is not in the habit of making entries not in accordance to facts, but this is one. He accounts for it as meaning fare to Shediac road and return. Thinks this because he was not in Shediac village that time. Also that he had paid fare to Shediae road at different times, sometimes horse hire. He then referred to his being in Moneton, Sussex, Hampton, etc., and closed by saying to Mr. Palmer he has a recollection of expense at Shediac road, His evidence cor responds with M errick’s.

John, Edward and Mrs. McCarthy are at- tending court.

Mr, Peltier will be called this afternoon, Annie will be present.

Second Despatch. DorcHEsteR, Ang. 1.

Last night’s despatch made me say-——At Mrs. Osborne walked through the hali. It should have been as follows: I did not see Eliza until next day at 12. Mrs. Osborne waiked through the hall, went up stairs, ete.

When Court opened this afternoon some hundreds were present, and the crowd is in- creasing all the time.

Henry Peltier, of Nouvelle, near Dalhousie, was next called: Iam a French-Canadian, born in Canada; am a Catholic; my wife’s name was Florente Sampier (Flora St. Peter); some call me Pelker, some Parkie, and some Parker. 1 had a daughter Anpie, she was ten years old when she took first communion. Then her mother died and she stayed with me a year, Left me. She has been away five years. She was born in the parish of Debie, province of Quebec. | never was in Scotland; I have seen Annie since ] came here, but can’t swear she is my daughter; she is the one IJ. called mine and brought up. I saw her since she left home. I had a small house and a large family, and she stopped about two hours, (here Annie came in and was placed on a chair before him.) He said, that is the girl | brought up; I don’t know whether I ever took her to the Baptist Church or not; I took her to different places.

Yo Hon. Mr. Hanington—I have lost consid- erable of my mind and have poor English; was never in the Asylum—don’t know how long I was married before my wife died. We had five boys and two girls. I was not crazy when my wife was alive. She kept me in good order. Whenshe died I went about look- ing at the sky, was out of my mind when I thought of my children. I went to work on the farm and remained there since ; my half brother has a priest in his family by the name of J. Peltier. I kept store and hotel in St. Cecil Debic. I have been married some 23 or 24 yearr. Nouvelle is six miles from Dal- housie. Annie lived at Dalhousie a while since she left me. Did not see her nor know who she stopped with. Have no housekeeper these many years.

Here Mr. Hanington asked witness why he winked at Palmer. Witness said it was on account of an injury shown by a scar near the eye. This caused great laughter.

Mr. Palmer denied receiving the wink, and his Honor charged the witness not to wink at any person. ;

He resumed: I did say this girl was 21 years of age, but I was so confused by inquir- ies that I hardly knew what I was saying ; my children are John, Annie, George, Mal- vina, Peter and Celestine; my farm is some seven and a half acres large ; I never told that my wife was Scotch.

Mr. Palmer then asked the witness what Mr. J. H. Dickson said to him when he went after him.

Mr. Hanington said he did not mean to in- sinuate that Mr. Dickson had tampered with the witness.

Mr. Palmer said he was bound to see who had tampered with him.

The witness said Dickson only told him to come to identify his girl, if his, and gave him a subpeena. He said, also, that a man called him aside and spoke to him just after dinner. When asked if he could identify him, he said it was Edward McCarthy. When asked what Mr. McCarthy said: ‘‘He only said that Annie stopped with him, and was a nice girl.”

Mr. Palmer asked some more like questions, but elicited nothing as to tampering with wit- ness,

The witness said: I knew her when I saw her here last Sunday; she talked some French

He then read an account of his |

She said she had lost part of her French, but I did not believe her.

of| During the examination of this witness for

a time the audience was convulsed with laugh- ter at some of his answers, his English being poor and his apprehension dull. It will be noticed that on coming here he first told that Aunie was twenty-one and to your reporter eighteen or nineteen. In his evidence to-day sixteen. This seems to afford scope for speculation. Some do and others do | not believe the old man’s story. Your readers |

| will also remember that Annie Parker says her He saw Harry about the house; he did not’

mother’s name was Peltie, and if this man is her mother’s brother, which some conjecture, this will account for the resemblance existing between thei.

Dr. Campbell, dentist, being recalled, said he was unwell the night of the 12th. hat he was not certain that there | was anyone but himself stopping at the| Waverley then, the three men or anybody

else. Did not remember seeing Annie that night. Harry told me one morning that there

had been a row there in the night and he had

to take a drunken man home with the wagon.

Don’t know when this was; never saw the bar- room floor scrubbed but once; know nothing

of the wagons; 1 remember hearing the tree- agents bargain for board, and played enchre with them one rainy day. My sickness affect- ed my recollection; bar-room was not nailed up; did not tell Annie that I was going to Point du Chene that night; saw nothing amiss with Harry, Eliza or Mrs. Oshorue while there, either in profane talk or drinking, heard no unusual noise that night, but remember how much I slept.

To a juror—The bar-room floor was scrubbed all over. : P. Sweeney was vext called, but it being six o’clock, Court adjourned. Some two hun- dred persons in Court this forenoon,
