NOVEMBER 16, 1875.

ORGANIZE!

Party gained But it was

Tue Liberal-Conservative largely by the recent elections. not so entirely and decidedly successful as, in view of the state of public opinion, it ORGANIZA-

should have been—FOR WANT OF

TION. For want of organization thousands of evislative Council electors were not regis- tered.

For want of organization,an unprecedent- edly small vote was polled all over the country.

For want of organization, Mr. Dodd slipped in with a beggarly vote of 251!

For want of organization there were two Liberal-Conservative candidates in the First District of Prince County.

For want of organization there were divi- sion and distraction in the ranks, and two Liberal-Conservative candidates in the first District of Queen’s County.

For want of organization there were two Liberal Conservative candidates for the First District of King’s County.

All the causes of failure of fentire success may be reduced to ‘‘ want of organization.”

After the heat and excitement of the Dominion election, there naturally followed a measure of apathy; and for want of or- ganization the effort required to be put for- ward in order to insure success in every case was not known.

The duty of the party is, therefore, to organize !

We hope steps towards organization will be taken without delay.

The Havoc by Yellow Fever.

ELEVEN THOUSAND DEATHS AND A SCORE OF IMPOVERISHED CITIES,

(From the New York Sun.)

#4 But how much has been lost by this fear- ful scourge! In New Orleans it has des- troyed about 3,000 lives, in Vicksburg about 1,000, in Memphis over 3,000, and in the other towns along the Mississipi, to which it spread from New Orleans, the mortality has been about 2,500. If we add the deaths at the places from which we have no special reports, and at the outlying settlements and detached plantations, we shall probably get at least 500 more. This makes the total mortality of the epidemic 11,000; though possibly more accurate statistics than are now attainable would reduce it consider- ably. Itis a vast number of deaths to have occurred within ninety days m a region of the country where there is only one great city, and where the popula- tion is so scattered, and from a disease which is preventable. But the mere mor- rality total does not by any means repre- sent the whole injury inflicted by this ter- tible pestilence. It is a very small part of it, though the most appalling. Many times the number who died have been prostrated by the disease, and the poverty and suffer- ing which have followed in its train have been incalculable. Though the contribu- tions of the North have been so great, reaching nearly a million and a half of dol- lars in the aggregate, the cry for more comes from the scourged cities. The Secre- tary of the Howard Association at New Orleans, for instance, telegraphs that they need $30,000 more, and throughout the winter the number of applicants for chari table assistance will be greatly increased by reason of the epidemic in all the cities where it has raged. New Orleans, with its 210,900 inhabitants; Memphis, with its 45,900, and a score of cities and towns along the Mississippi River, of lesser population, have, for nigh upon three months, been shut out from the rest of the world, so far as active business intercourse was con- cerned, and the pecuniary loss has been enormous. The railroad transportation has been interfered with, the movement of cot- ton has been delayed, and enterprise has been seriously checked or utterly killed.

Mr. Gladstone resembles the great Duke of Wellington, in his custom of invariably aud promptly replying to any communica tion that is addressed to him on any sub ao whatever. Some of the British’ papers

ve been in the habit of twitting him on this point, as though he did so for the pur- pose of ostentationsly putting himself be- tore the public on all possible occasions. This is hardly fair, as to answer letters, however untimely, unnecessary or even im- pertinent, from persons who are total strangers can be attended with neither pleasure nor profit, especially in the case of cne of Mr. Gladstone’s deservedly high reputation and position, To ridicule him, therefore, for fulfilling, on principle, what he considers a social duty, reflects no credit on that portion of the press which sees to think it smart to do so. And Mr. G..1- stone merits praise for treating cens’\ cs with contempt, and continuing to pui sue the course which he judges to be right.

ILLUsTRATIVE of the value of the land in Australia held by the City of Glasgow Bank a story is told of a gentleman recently dis- posing of ten thousand acres at ten pence for the lot. A membér of the Corporation of Bath and the owner of tie estates were in conversation when the latter mentioned that he was the owner of the ten thousand acres, and would willingly sell it at a penny a thousand. The corporation official draw- ing a shilling out of his pocket cried ** done,” and, the vendor being as good as his word, completed the transaction on the

spot.

MccARTHY MURDER,

The following Jury were sworn in on this important case, on the 14th inst. :— Wim. M. Ross, Epraim Weldon, W. Dixon Baird, Thos. E. Wood, Cyprus Chappell, Wm. A. Wells, John Wells. Rufus Oulton, John A. Somers, Allan Horseman, B. Atkinson, Martin Black. On the 15th inst. , they appeared in due time, looking: fresh and healthy, as though a_ siege similar to the late one would not in any way inca- paciate them for their various vocations. Shortly after court opened Mr. Robertson was released from bail of John Osborne, and William Turner, with Mr. E. V. Tait, came forward and executed the proper bond.

DAMIEN WHITE,

Shediac, was then sworn as first witness. He described finding the body of McCarthy inthe Scadouc. He said it was on the west side of the channel and eastern shore. He recognized the body as MeCarth’s; and Philip Voutour was with him, and_ went to tell Mr. Inglis. Witness then described the appearance and clothing of the body. Witness remained with body while Mr. Inglis went for the Coroner, who, when he came, ordered the body to be searched, and $257 was found in the trousers pockets. He then gave such information as he could concerning the post mortem eXamination ; also finding the rope in the river some time before on a cake of ice. (The clothes, rope and stone produced.) He identified the stone as the one found in the Scadoue, about 150 yards from farmer Atkinson’s.

Cross-examined.—Witness said the rope was the same kind of rope as a bed-cord was made of, but being full of knots some- what resembled the patching up that a rafts- man would do. Face of body was green ; clothes not torn or disfigured. Witness showed how the tie was fastened, and said he could see two inches below the knot down the bosom.

Mr. Palmer then placed himself inside the rubber coat, with top button fastened as Damien described it was found, which closed up the space below the knot in the tie.

Witness then described the state of tides

: where the body was found.

Re-examined by Dr. Tuck.— Saw stones rafted down the Scadouch last fall, but not any like the one produced was seen by witness when Govang was raking for it. They use an inch rope and some bigger on rafts. Damien then showed upon the floor the position of the coat on the body.

PHILIP VONTOUR,

Shediac, testified to being with Damien White when the body of McCarthy (about 3 p.m.) was found. He thought the rub- ber coat was buttoned to the top coat. Said the Scadouc had a pretty strong current, and the tides were irregular. He was with White when the rope was found about 30 or 40 feet from the shore.

Cross-examined by Mr. Palmer—He knew of a quarry where stones were pro- cured and rafted down for butments. He could see the knot on the tie over the rub- ber coat collar. He thought the top rubber coat button could not have been fastened (as Damien stated). Had known people to cross the Railway bridge.

Re-examined by Hon. Mr. Hanington— Never saw any one cross the bridge at night; they would have to walk a stick of timber. mentioned did not come from above the bridge, Mr. Palmer objected, and the ques- tion was withdrawn.

Court adjourned for dinner.

Mrs. McCarthy and Edward are attend- ing Court. The trial is going on very smoothly so far, only a few hits are yet be- ing indulged in by counsel. Ample accom- modations§ are afforded for the public and press. Mr. Joseph Howe Dickson is at present assisting Mr. Palmer in the defence.

STEPHEN MCCARTHY,

sworn :—I am Timothy McCarthy’s brother. He was 41 or 42 yearsof age. He would weigh about 210 or 215 pounds. Examined head of Tim’s body. Saw no mark but cut over eye. Mrs. Osborne first told me Tim was missing about a fortnight after 12th October. I said he had gone to Red River or Pennsylvania. She told it ina quiet friendly way. Eliza said he was in the Osborne House between 9 and 10 o’clock on the night of the 12th. I gota black hat from Philip Cormier on the first or second Saturday in December.

Cross-examined by Mr. Palmer :—I left overcoat there for safe keeping about mid- dle of October. This is the coat I have on. It was I who suggested Tim had gone away not Mrs. Osborne. John Osborne told me he wore overcoat to Moncton. I told him ‘all right.” It must have been in Novem- ber. I took the hat found to Moncton the second Saturday in December. Am not certain I saw Annie before I went to look for Tim’s body, did.

Cross-examined by Dr. Tuck :—Mrs. Os- borne told me Tim started to go to P. E. Island; that his wife followed against his will, and that after going to the boat he left his wife at the Point and returned to Monc- ton. I don’t know what I said. We often talked over the matter at Osbornes. [ never heard of any hat being found until Saturday after I got back from Cocagne about 7 o’clock in the morning.

Did not see Annie at the widow's aout this time. Edward told me to get Annie’s clothes from Shediac. I called for them at Osborne’s.

To Mr. Palmer.—I got her clothes after I got my coat. If Lsaidin July that I got clothes away the first week in December, I must have been mistaken. My memory is as good now as then.

JAMES INGLIS

sworn: Reside in Shediac. (Described channel, shore and flat.) Some stone was rafted along river last fall. Ordinary sandstone, such as would be found on the banks.

Cross-examined by Mr. Palmer.—These stones are of various shapes and sizes. Op- posite the gap there is a flat between shore and channel. Going up the bank at the

(then a rise of twenty feet, at an angle of 45 degrees. [I don’t think I could drive a wagon down that bank in the night with McCarthy’s body. Have seen men cross the railway bridge. Never saw women or children. There were 8,000 logs in vicinity of railway bridge during winter. Remem ber storin on night of 12th Oct., which would have a tendeney to make the river rise four feet over heads of spiles in coffer- dam, so that a body falling off the bridge would have to fall through the water before striking the heads of spiles. I have stated that I believed McCarthy fell from the bridge. “I formed this opinion on first viewing MecCarthy’s body.

Re-examined by Mr. Hanington. —Can’t say positively that angle of bank was 45 degrees.

oipiiiuaetie Address to Mr. John Byrne, Sta- tion Master at County Line.

Burors his departure fro County Line, a large number of the inhabitants of that vicinity waited on Mr. Byrne and presented him with the following

The Marquis and Marchioness of Lorne and party arrived this morning, and proceeded to the Adelphi Hotel. At 10 o'clock the party went tothe Town Hall, attended by a mili- tary escort. Detachments of volunteers were stationed at prominent points along the route, and the streets were crowded with people, who gave the visitors a hearty reception. The Town Hall was filled with ladies and gentle men. Mayor Roydon received the royal party. The Recorder read the address from the Liverpool Town Council, and the President of the Chamber of Commerce read an address from that body to the Marquis, who replied to both. The Royal party afterwards presented themselves on the balcony overlooking the Exchange, which was filled with an_en- thusiastic crowd.
