DOMINION PARLIAWSRT.

PIFTH SESSION.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) Orrawa, Feb. 16, 1878. MR. PERRY SPEAKS. Amona others who took part in the de- bate yesterday was our friend Mr. Perry. He sharply rebuked ‘thon. members” for

lowering the dignity of Parliament, and

then procceded to assert that the visit of tie Premier to P. E. Island had been em- inently satisfactory. He said the Premier was cordially weicomed by the people of Mount Stewart and Sonris; and that when three clieers were proposed for him in Char- lotietown the ‘‘cheers were almost unani- mous.” He claimed that the favorable award of the Fishery Commission was largely

owing to the evidence given by P. E. Island-|

ers and to the exertions of the P. E. Island Attorney General. Therefore, the Govern- ment should, he argued, expend a large proportion of the Award in providing tor the public wants of P. E. Island. He was surprised to hear Mr. Pope say a reaction had taken place in the Province. He thought Mr. Pope must have alluded to some other P. E. Island. ‘The Couserva- tives of P. E. Island had, he said, raised the taxes six pence an acre to bribe landlords, and they had opposed all the good measures passed since 1851. He was sure there was no reaction in their favor in his County. He was certain that Prince County would again return two stadnch reformers and that he would be one of them. The majority of P. E. Islanders are, he declared, naturally Liberal. They must necessarily return ‘Reformers.” Mr. Pope, he said, advo- cates free trade; and how could he oppose the Free Trade Government! The Exam- ineR—Mr. Pope's organ—is, he asserted, a Protectionist paper. The Projress was protectionist; but it has lately changed its policy upon that question. Mr. Perry con- cluded by exclaiming—in thrilling tones— ‘None of this delusion, this humbug to catch votes,’ and was cheered to the echo. Mr. Perry, it will be seen, was—to use a vulyar expression—‘‘a little mixed,” and not a little inaccurate. BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Mr. Thompson, of Cariboo, said the peo- ple of British Columbia feel that so long as the presen Government’ are iu power, an incudus rests upon their Province, and that if they were turned out Canada would—in the words of the Address relating to Sitting Ball—be relieved of a ‘‘source of uneasiness and a heavy expenditure.” Government with a declared and deliberate breach of faith with British Columbia, and thanked Providence that the valuable mines recently discovered will soon render its people independent of the McKenzie Ad- ministration. To judge by the temper of their representative, the people of the “¢ Pacitic Province ’ are not just now in a pacific imcod.

A SCENE.

Several dreary speeches had been deliv- ered. The hour was late, the House weary, the benches eimpty. Everything worth saying had been said. A drowsy listless- ness prevaded the Chamber. ‘rhe ladies had long since leit the galleries, and only a few masculine speciators remained to hear the debate concluded. The Members present lolled upon their seats and dozed, or rubbed their sleepy eyes as ihey conned the evening papers. At the cnd of each tiresc ne speech, their was a call for *‘ques- tion,” ‘* question.” Shortly after mid- night the question was put. The first pa- ragraph of the Address was carried. But on tio motion, that the second paragraph ‘‘ do now pass,’ Dr. Tupper rose. All at once Honorable Members began to straighten up, and look interested. ‘the reading room, the smoking room, the library—all these Parliamentary resorts—were quickly de- serted, and the vacant chairs were speedily filied. Dr. Tupper was replying to Mr. Jones; and drowsy listlessnessyave way toanimation and attention. Dr. ‘upper pointed out that Mr. Jones had not defended himself against any of the charges which, on public grounds, had been preferred against him. Nor had he shown how he could possibly reconcile the opinions he preferred to hold r>speciing the Protection of sugar and the Pacitic Railway, with the policy of the Gov- ermment —which is entirely at variance with #10se opinions. It was, therefore, evident tia he had no defence or explanation to oter. Doctor Tupper then turned his at- tention to the false charges which Mr. Jonxes hal preferred against him, and in the clearest, most explicit, and most forcible minner possible to imagine, proved trom dozumentary evidence that they were utter- ly false and ridiculous. He spoke for over au hour—holding the attention of the House throughout. Mr. Jones replied, by re-stating, in less vigorous language than he before used, the stale charges he had before

He charged the!

_

| preferred. But, in the light of Dr. fupper’s explanations, they fell iat. | When Mr. Jones resumed his seat, ithe floor was taken by Sir John Mc Donald, who surprised and electrified the House with one of the most witty, pungent, and withal clear and conving speeches he as for years delivered in Parliament. ‘The ‘igor he displayed at an_ hour when most of the members were tired out with the long sitting, was remarkable. Sir John is un- doubtedly to-day—notwitstanding his years

j |

His sallies of wit elicited roars of laughter. The facts he adduced could not be denied. He éarried the House along with him in his argument ; and the excitement of both sides reached a climax when he pointed out that if Mr. Jones denied that he had declared that he would cheer when the British tlag was hauled down from the citadel, the only inference was that Sir William Young, Judge DesBarres, Mr. Thomson, Sir Hastings Doyle, and even the “‘lamented

‘Vail,’ were—accordding to Mr. Jones ‘own showing—liars and foul calummia-

‘tora. ‘he people of this Dominion, he sud, la loyal people ; and they will not tolerate at ithe head of the Militia a man who has—by levidence of the highest authority—been ‘convicted of having given expression to dis- ‘loyal words, and will not acknowledge that lhe did wrong. Mr. McKenzie replied to Sir John. He made a bad defence of a bad case. Alluding to the fact that Sir George Cartier was once a rebel, he insinuated that he was also a coward. ‘The French metn- bers of both sides were displeased , and those who sit upon the Opposition benches said that he slandered the dead. Sir John MeDonald promptly corrected Mr. McKen- zie. He said that, by the generals who fought the rebels, he had been told that Sir George was present at the engagement, bravely bore his part, and was among the last to leave the field. Joe Rymal—one ot McKenzie’s supporters and one of the wits of the House—says that ‘‘ Cartier wasn't that kind o’ man to run away.” The whole

affair has given rise to much talk. Sir John, by the vigor and eloquence of his

‘speech, extorted the admiration even of ‘his stoutess opponents. Mr. Holton was heard to say that the speech reminded him of Sir John’s efforts thirty years ago. Me- | Konzie’s blunder is recognized by hhmself ; ‘and after he had gone too far, he tried to explain away his insult to the memory of the greatest of French Canadians.

Mr. Perry.

We regret that Mr. Perry should have gone out of his way to misrepresent the ixamtneR in Parliament. It would give us extreme pleasure to hear of Islanders bearing a high partin the deliberations of the Commons of Canada; and if Mr. Perry (or any other Grit) could possibly speak without saying ‘‘ the thing that is not,”

we should be glad to chronicle his sayings. But Mr. Perry’s speech, the other might, was instinct with gross inaccuracies: and none more gross, than that Tur EXAMINER is a Protectionst paper.” Mr. Perry is, it appears, ready to make any misrepresenta- tion, no matter how glaring, to serve the purpose of the incapable combination, led by the man who—only a day or two ago— slandered the greatest of French Canadian statesmen, and was not even deterred from entering the hallowed precincts of the grave to effect his cowardly purpose.

Tur Patriot confesses, but endeavors to palliate, his theft of our telegram. He says the dispatches we published were always to be found in the Reading Room of the Y. M. C. A., and that they were procured by that Institution. ‘These asserlions are both false, and the Putriot condemns himself when he says that he could not get the telegram we allude to in the Reading Room, but had to steal it out of the Examiner. Once entered upon a dishonest course, our contemporary does not halt or turn back. He proceeds to inform the public that he is going to lay be- fore his readers telegrams from Europe at least twelve hours later than the EXAMINER can procure. This is a dishonest attempt to }mislead the public. The Patriot, with all \ his vaunt of enterprize, cannot do it. Let {him speak the iruth and be honest,

Special Dispatch to Kecaminer. LONDON, Feb. 23.

Tho Times’ Berlin dispatch says that Bismarck’s speec! is disliked in South Ger- many, where the popular wish is to support Austria. Assurances counteracting the un- favorable etiect of the speech and calculated to persuade the public that Germany will not oppose Austria in any way are circulat- ed in more quarters than one.

A St. Petersburg dispatch states that the Ageneize Russe says Nainyk Pasha will not come to St. Petérsburg. Such a mission as was entrusted to him could serve no pur- pose, as the Grand Duke Nicholas is invest- ed with full powers to treah with Turkey. The journey of Namyk Pasha would only increase the delay in the negotiations for peace, and Turkey is wrong to persevere in this course. |Namyk Pasha’s mission was toendeayor to obtain a modification of peace terms, especially those concerning the withdrawal of Mussulmans from Bulgaria and the limits of the new principality. |

A Belgrale dispatch says the Roumanian forces having left Bulgaria, the Russians have requested a Servian division to occupy Widdin and Belgradchix.

ATHENS, Feb, 23.

The Turks occupied Platonis this morn- ing, and burned a portion of the town, but the Insurgents received reinforcements and recaptured the place at noon.

In the House of Commons last night, a motion of G. O. Trevelyan, in favor of the equalization of the franchise through- out the kingdom with the English borough ‘franchise, and the redistribution of seats, 'was rejected by 271 to 219. ‘The lock-out of 4,000 Oldham weavers began to-day.

OUR OTTAWA DESPATCH,

(Special Desnatch to Daily Examiner. ) Orrawa, Feb. 23. The Budget speech occupied two hours. Cartwright estimates the total revenue at twenty-three mllions eight hundred thou- sand dollars, derivable as follows :

Customs, thirteen millions seven hundred land fifty thousand dollars.

Excise, five and a quarter million of dol- lars.

Stamps, two hundred dollars.

Post Office, twelve hundred thousand doi- lars.

Public Works, nineteen hundred thou- sand dollars.

Miscellaneous, fifteen hundred thousand dollars.

The question of the further increase of taxation he leaves till after the next elec- tion. He compared the result of his policy with those of his predecessors.

Tupper followed, and showed that Cart- wright had asked for and obtained three | millions of dollars of extra taxation the first | year his Government was in power, and five millions of dollars the next year; their de- ficit amounted to $3,361,000; he pointed out that fifteen per cent tariff gave more protection than the increased duties im- |posed by ths present Government. The late Government also protected industries by relieving raw materials, machinery used in manufactories, ship-building material, tea and coffee, &c., from duty; he said it is a policy of the present Opposition to return to the same kind of protection ona more extended basis. He contended that the interests of mannfacturers may be ad- vanced as much by lowering taxcs as by raising them, and that the policy of the Opposition is closely identified with re- ciprocity. He also said it was ridiculous for us to expect renewal of reciprocity while our markets are free to Americans. The joined issue with those who said differential duties might be imposed, while goods from Great Britain were admitted under low revenue tariff. He believed there would be no difficulty in imposing such duties upon: the United States goods as would force the United States Government to grant the re- ciprocity we so much need.
