Good News From the Couatry.
Ar Rona, the other day, Messrs. Mont- gomery and Nicholson were unanimously nominated.
At Brian’s Cross, last evening, Mr. Bain was enthusiastically nominated a can- didate to run in conjunction with Mr. Donald McKay.
At Bonshaw, last evening, the ex-Com- missioner of Public Works was very coolly received, Campbell is, we hear, carrying everything before him.
Advices from all quarters report the Liberal-Conservatives falling into line and working vigorously. In the First District of Queen’s there are several candidates for a nomination in conjunction with Hon. Mr. Campbell ; and the ticket is not yet filled. In the First District of King’s there are also four or five Liberal-Conservative can- didates. We are not, therefore, yet able to insert the accepted candidates names in the following list :—
KING’s COUNTY.
1st District—
2d District-—W. W. Sullivan and Hilary Mclsaac.
3rd District—D. Ferguson and James E. McDonald.

Our Men at Ottawa.
Our men at Ottawa have done well; and they have shown that they are capable of doing well in the future, Mr. Brecken’s speech upon the Letellier matter was, we learn, greatly admired by the representa- tives of Quebec; and the forcible way in which Messrs. McDonald, Muttart, Hackett and Brecken explained the evils of ‘‘ purse seining” was clear to all who read their speeches as published in the Examiner. Having capable representatives to direct attention to the Province is an incalculable
advantage to us. Steady, Boys.
In some districts there are many candi- dates who favor the Government and its policy. In regard to these, it is to be hoped that wise counsels will prevail, so that no undue advantages may be given the Opposition. The folly of having too many candidates in the field was illustrated in the Legislative Council election, tu the loss of the Liberal Conservative Party.

Insulting Statements Rebutted.
Since the departure of its editor for Ot- tawa, we have nut deemed the ‘‘ Patriot” worthy of much notice. But we cannot permit even the ‘‘ Patriot” to state, un- challenged, that the editor of the ExaMinsr ‘(abuses better men than himself” and ‘perpetrates bare-faced falsehoods.” We
ter grates should be furnished by Burrell, Johnson & Co. Why go to Burrell, Johns-
own hardware merchants? Burrell, Jolns- ton & Co. had no grates to sell! No. But they could go to Dodd & Rogers--whom the law precludes from dealing with the Government—purchase them at full price, and charge the Government a handsome per centage as ‘‘commission.” Better a great deal that Messrs. Dodd & Rogers should have openly violated the law than that they should have endeavored to cover up their footsteps at the expense of the public. The Patriot twisted the meaning we con- veyed to suit its purpose when it charged us with ‘‘ barefuced falsehood.” Our state- ment was substantially true. Burrell, Johnson & Co. were not required by the contract to furnish the register grates.

The Summerside Meeting.
(From our own Correspondent.)
Two or three days ago notices Were scat- tered throughout the District calling a meeting of the ‘‘Free School Party” in Ludlew Hall on Monday evening, for the purpose of nominating two ‘‘ fit and proper” persons to” run in opposition to Messrs. Lefurgey and Kelly. This new party is nothing m-ze than the Grit party under a new name. The leaders of that party say they do not wish to raise a religious cry. If they do not, why take this new name, and call themselves the Free School Party ? Are our Free Schools in danger! Because the Hon. W. W. Sullivan, the Leader of the Government, is a Roman Catholicis that any reason why sectarian feelings should be raised and the School Question brought to light? They imagine they see an opportunity of gaimng the vote of the Protestant electors of this District by calling themselves the Free School Party. The question of Free Schools was fought fairly and squarely, and that question has been settled to the satis- faction of both Protestants and Catholics. It would seem to be the last resort left to that party to endeavor to gain the reins of power. ‘The meeting was looked forward to with great interest; for on that night the Davies faction was to nominate their candi- dates. There was much speculation as to who would be put in nomination with Mr. McMillan The meeting was called to or- der with Mr. W. H. Brown in the chair. After the Chairman stated the ob- ject of the meeting, Angus McMillan and John R. Calhoun, Esq’rs, were put in nomination. ‘The vote was taken by a show of hands, and of course the Chairman decided the nominations were carried. Mr. McMillan and Mr. Calhoun addressed the meeting. Both these gentlemen found great fault with Mr. Lefurgey, and at- tacked him in the fiercest manner possible. In fact Mr. McMillan said it was “ real mean” of his colleague (Mr. Lefurgey) to say on the floor of the House that the Goy- ernment did not have the confidence of the people. Mr. McMillan also said that he was a very bashful man. He may be, but he was no ways bashful in blowing his own trumpet about what he had done, and all the reforms he had endeavored to bring about since he was elected to represent this district. Mr. Calhoun said he was very thankful for the honor of being nominated to contest this district ; but he did not feel like accepting it until he had seen the elec- tors of the Fourth District and heard what they would have to say about it. Of course he had received a requisition signed by a large number of electors, requesting him to allow himself to be put in nomination for that district, and for a few days he could not make up his mind how tv act in this matter. Mr. Calhoun has very little show in either district. ‘Shortly after the dis- solution, Mr. Calhoun paid a visit tu the mud beds, where some of his late constitu- ents were at work, and it is said he made a very strong appeal to them, but they turned a deaf ear to his.cry and he left in disgust. There can be no doubt but that he will contest this District in the interests of the Grits. Mr. Davies, the late leader of the Government —specially invited to be present, to cheer the drooping spirits of his party here—also addressed the meeting. He made a long speech. He took all the credit for the Land Purchase Act, the Education Act, the Assessment Act; and the Fishery Award received its share of attention. He warned the electors, in thrilling tones, to beware how they acted in the coming elec- tion, and net to support the man who acted the traitor. Mr. Davies paid a glowing tribute to the nominees of his factien, who sat on the platferm as innocent looking as innocence could be. While he pictured all their good traits, and endeavored to show that they were the men whom the Free and Independent Electors of the Fifth District should return to the next House, these worthies sat as like two little lambs as pos- sible. Mr. Davies bvasted ‘considerable about he and Mr. Morris being elected by a large majority. But some times the “ best laid schemsof men and mice gang af’ta glee;” and Mr. Davies may find it so in his | case.

For the Examiner.
‘The Grits ‘‘came dowa like wolves on the
fold,”
| Determined to handle our silver and gold;
But the country indignantly told them to quit, :
Not a sou or a cent would they trust with a Grit.
The Grits, with tenacity, tried to hold on Till our noble Dominion to ruin had gone; Till thrift aud prosperity left not a trace, And ruin and bankruptey stared in our face.
'
Thank heaven, at last the foul tide has turned;
From place and from power the Grits have been spurned;
From stormy St. Paul's to Vancouver’s Shore,
The land that has known them will trust them no more.
Even at our own doors, in the tight little isle,
They burdened and fettered the children of toil;
Till the country arose, in fury and frenzy, |
and packed them all off with their chieftian McKenzie.
Be not led away by palaver and noise; —
Stand shoulder ‘to shoulder for Neilj and DeBlois.
Let merit be hoaored as merit it should,
For we know they will work for their country’s good.

Mysterious Disappearance.
oy?
THE ‘‘SARDINIAN’S” CHIEF ENGINEER LOST.
Mr. Alexander Jack, Chief Engineer of the Sardinian, was missed, when the ship was off the Nova Scotia coast, on Friday night. The night was very dark and stormy, and the sea was beating over the ship. He was on duty, midships, at half- past nine. At ten o’clock he could not be found. A representative of the Herald in- terviewed the ship’s officers yesterday, who refused to give information respecting his mysterious disappearance. The crew ‘*knew nothing about it.” One thing is certain, he is lost, but how, or when, no one appeared to know. One of the passen- gers thinks he was washed overboard by a sea, but this seems impossible, because the sea was not heavy enough to carry a man over the railing ; and he had no duty re- quiring his presence on deck. No one seems to have seen him after half-past nine o'clock. He is said to have been perfectly sober and sane, and in his usual good spirits at the hour named. Is it possible that he was thrown overboard? The purser refused to give information to our reporter, but said a full report would be made to the English Board of Trade.—H~.

Rights of Official Assignees.
_A case of some interest respecting the right of Official Assignees to sell goods by public auctions, is now under consideration of the legal authorities at Ottawa. Mc- Cuaig, Official Assignee, was charged with having unlawfully sold goods by public auction, contrary to the corporation by-law. The defence took the ground that the As- signee had the right under statute as well as under the by-law to dispose of bankrupt stock by a public auction. It was contend- ed per contra that the by-law only exempt- ed Officers of the Court from its provisions, and that Assignees did not come under that head. The Magistrate considers the point such a knotty one that he has taken a week to give his decision. As Assignees gener- ally do what they please with bankrupt estates, it will be strange if the decision is not in their favor in this case.
