MARCH

15, 1878.

NORMAN LOQUITUR,

The silence has at last been broken. The

ole of the Registry Office have decided tiat matters have become serious. But t cir spokesinan is an unfortunate one. Teir choice was not limited. Tie Deacon o: the Captain were obviously the ones to make the required explanation, but neither of these gentlemen felc that tiey could with truthfulness gainsay one statement that we made, and yet something had to be done. The lecture which the Attorney General give them upon his return irom Geo. g 2tows ws still ringing in their ears. The editors of the Putrivt aad the Argus who weat fo informition . saw that tney could mak nothing of the job and went sorrowful, away, and then it was that the righteous indignation and wrathful anger of the Re gistrar flashed out. If he will take the public into his confidence, and during office houfs, with an utter abanco im ni of offisia decorum and a complete disregard of eczle- siaatical censures, denounc? our statemen ‘sas. a most damnable liz,” he surely canno* complain if we give the widest circulation to his feeble though wicked anathe.ua.

We really entertain the most kindly feel- ings for him, but if he will make use of suc) an instrument as the boy Norman, then f he gets himself into trouble he has only himself to blame for it. ‘

ine Registrar has directed the boy Norman to write that our statements are “utterly devoid of truth and without any foundation infact.” Does not Mr. DesBrisay see that this is not only not argument, but the silliest, most stupid manner possible of meeting our charges. It differs only from the “‘you’re another” of the gutter boy by having the phraseology slightly changed.

We stated facts; we gave figures ; we challenged, we still challenge any one to show wherein we were mistaken or inac- curate. The foolish, silly attempt of the foolish, silly boy who writes for the depart- ment, only shows the weakness of their case; they have the records before them; they ean give days and dates and folios if they please, but they dare not, and so we repeat that our statements remain uncontradicted because they cannot be denied.

Norman tells us that “‘ the deed that was registered on the last day of January was ready for delivery on the first day oi February,” what particular deed this is we have not the faintest idea; with the particu- lars before him he might have enlightened us had he pleased, but we have heard of deeds registered in that same month of January which are not ‘‘ ready for delivery ae may, and probably does, consi- der our statements as to the number of folis per day, which he writes “unworthy of notice,” ‘‘unfair,” *‘* unwarrantavle,’ ‘ unavailing;” but the sting lies in their accuracy, which cannot truthfully be de- nied.

The fact of his attention to lawyers and his incivility to countrymen, was hot, as Ae ca‘ls it, an ** insinuation,” * was a down- right statement; and to thos hot he toadiestoand fawns upon those,with whow he seeks to make interest, would re- cognize that he was the guilty culprit, even had we not mentioned his name. —

But his attempted explanztion only make's matters worse. Tle tells us of the suavity andcourtesy ot his manner, (Heaven bless the mark) since my ‘‘advent to that office?’ but will he permit us to ask one question, what business has he at all with

rsons who come to make searches! His

usiness is to copy indexes, and that only, and filling up the receipts for the deeds when brought in, and attending to the gen- eral work of the office is no partof his ditty. The Registrar has his Assistant Registrar,

and for the boy Norman to usurp his duties,

is an impertenance on his part, and a grave impropriety on that of the Registrar.

We are inclined to believe that he is cor- rect when he says that our statements re- garding his irregular conduct afford him ** auwusement.” He is evidently of that

class who glory in the shame at w

who know;

‘Ons thing h ibe quite certainof, his “amusement 18, We jassure him, not nearly yet at an end.

Tne store of the late Hon. P. Walker was discovered to have been burglarously ntered at four o’clock this morning, and a arge quantity of goods were taken there- ‘rom. The burglars obtained entrance to he store by breaking a large pane of glass ‘na window, looking on Great George Street, which was unprotected by shutters or bars.

ered, the police went on trail of the burg- ars, and, after a diligent search, found a very large a of the goods in a stable owned by William Crosby, in the rear of ais premises on Fitzroy Street. Crosby was taken in charge by the police, and two young men, whom officer Cameron saw In the vicinity of the burglarized store, were irrested. The police are also in search of thers who were seen near the premises about the time of the robbery. The goods stolen ire valued at about three hundred dollars.

We, yesterday, pointed out that the Patriot had succeeded in laying telegrams ,efore ita readers fifteen hours leter than this paper. In replying to this, the Patriot of this morning, in an article which we re- produce at length, with unlooked-for kind- ness, provides a lash for his own back. Che Putriot’s article is as follows :—

‘-TeLeGramMs.—The statement in the Ex AMINER that the Patrtot’s telegrams of yester- day morning are ‘‘ word for word with those of the Examiner” of the evening previous, is simply afulsehood. Having to trust to the New Brunswick trains for its telegraphic news, the ExaMINER is unable to procure the evening dispatches. There is no reason why an evening paper in Charlottetowa should not publish the same news as the evening papers of the other Provinces dv. The readers of the Examiner hav- ing to put up with those telegrams which theg can see an hour before the Bcaminer is pub- lished, iu the Y. M. U. A. Reading Room, and which arrive in Halifax and St. John between the hours of nme and twelve the evening pre- vious, are dissatisfied, and no wonder. At the Lelegraph Uilice here closed at one o'clock noon, then there would be sone excuse for taem laying before their readers news which in summer we can receive by mail from Halifax as early as the hour of publication of the Ex- AMINER. But, notwithstanding that the Leam- ner has every facility, wt is satixficd to publish morning dispatches. T'o call such news the latest by teleyraph is simply a farce.”

We italicise the riciest parts of this.

Now, in order taat our readers imay de- cide as to whether what we stated was true or not, we publish, side by side, the tele- graphic dispatches word for word as they appeared in each paper. It will be op- served that the telegram which appeared in our paper on the i/lih, is dated London, March 10.h, and that wiuich appeared in the Patriot of the 12h, is dated Loudon, March llth. Now, if these two telegrams are noi ‘‘word for word,’ as we stated, they are certainly almost so, about the only diifer- ‘ence that we can detect being in the fact lthat our dispatch is a litle fuller and more explicit, while we do not devyte any reom to sensational head-lines.

Aagain, if the strictures of the Patriot, as labove given, be applied to us, we ask do | they uo’ apply with tenfold severity to the Patriot itself! If ‘ there is no reason why 'an evening paper in Charlottetown should not publish the same news as the evening 'papers of the other Provinces,” it certainly would be easier for a morning paper pub- lished the following day to do the same; and yet we see the Puiriot of one morning giv- ‘ing the sane telegrams as ourselves of the ‘night before, and actually having the ** cheek” to up-braid us with a want of en- terprise. If our patrons are dissatistied \with us (which we deny) because they can see our telegrams in the Y. M. C. A. an hour before they appear in the HXAMINER, what must be the teelings of the patrons of the Pairwt, when the next morning they

A. sixteen, and in. the EXAMINER hours previously. val the ‘ tu quoque” argument, but it is really amusing to us to read the charges of the Patriot, because every charge appplies with so much more force to himself. He has charged us with altering the dates of tele- grams in order to deceive. What do we see helow? Our telegram is dated London 10th, the Patrio!’s London 11th, and yet they are identical. ‘* Explanation wanted.”

We trust that we have now written enough to convince the Patriot that our telegrams are in advance of his, and that he will ‘* forever hold his peace” with regard to his enterprise. We must apologise to our read- ers for having devoted so much space to the subject, as we are sure that they are tired of it; and having now ‘‘shown up” the Pa- triot, we shall not again revert to the sub- ject, no matter what the Patriot may say or

At the pewe demon- stration in Hyde Park to-dayh Bradiaugh ana Herbert made speeche- and proposed resolv. tioas in favor of peace, which passed inme- diately.

Soon afterwards thi supporters of the Gov- ernment policy arrived in force, and the meet- was declared dissolved; Bradlaugh was cud yelled, and tled in a cab.

According to the largest estimates, the number of persons who attended the peace de monstration was about 2,000. They were hustled about the Park and finally ejected by a larger and disorderly mob. Sticks were free- ly used, and several men were slightly hurt and taken to hospitals. The mob then separat- el, cheering for Lord Beaconsfield an | Musu.- ras Pasha. A _ large crowd cheered = anc groiuned before Glad stone’s residence; Mr. Gladstone and his wife, when going to Church, were ob.iged to tak: refuge in a friends house, wheace they were escorted by the , PO ice.

Prince Teck was mis- taken for Count Schow valoif, Russian Ambas sador, and insulted an. jostled by the mob.

Mr. Gladstone has written a letter to the Greenwhich Liberal As sociation, stating that he would not contest Greenwich at the next general election, in con- sequehce of a growing sense of his inability to discharge all the duties that constituency may reasonably expect from one of its representa- tives,

There was an im- nense demonstration at ilyde Park yesterday. Peace ches were nade by Messrs. Brad- ugh and Hubert, and resolutions of the same tenor carried.

porters of the Govern- ment party arrived ia great force and some listurbance _ensred. Bradiaugh was cudgel- led and had to fly for his ‘ife in a cab.

Sticks were freely used and several per- sona were hurt.

The mob cheered for Beaconsfield and Mus- rus Pasha, and gather- ed in front of Giad- stone’s residence, who with his wife when 4soing to Charch were »bliged to aeek refuge in a friend’s house. He was afterwards e3 ort. el by the poiice.
