( King’s County Advertizer (Conservative. ) _ ** The EXaMIneR, we are pleased to ob- serve, now insists upon having the vacancy filled by promotion ameng the employees of the Road, but as this rule has been lost sight of hitherto, it is not very remarkable to see officials from the sister Provinces pitchforked into office here when it is necessary to find places for them. If, as the EXAMINER says, none should receive the position except an Islander, would he be chosen from among the officials on the Road, if the selection were entrusted to our representatives / Or would a few wire- pulling politicians succeed in getting a favcrite trained for a few months to fit him for the position, as has been done over and over again by both Grits and Tories? These are pertinent enquiries at the pres- ent juncture. If the most competent ofti- cial on the Road were promoted to the position of Chief Superintendent, the Gov- ernment would be entitled to the gratitude of every subordinate official, ani the ap- proval of every right-thinking person ; but, f it should be otherwise, the Jeast we can expect is a competent officer, no matter where he hails from.” Canada Pacific Railway.

THE SYNDICATE AND THE

CONTRACT,

TERMS OF THE

When the details of the Pacitic Railway negotiations are published, it is more than probable it will appear that one division of the Syndicate is composed of Canadian capitalists,among whom are George Stephen, President of the Bank of Montreal ; Mr. Angus, late manager, and representing Hon. D. A. Smith. The English division is limited to Morton, Rose & Co., agents of the Dominion in London; Mr. Green- fells, who was here, and signed on behalf of the firm, is the senior partner. The American division is Morton, Bliss & Co., of New York. The French, Reinach & Co. of Paris and Frankfort, and the Societe Generale.

Mr. Greenfells had a power of attorney from the house of Reinach & Co., of Paris and Frankfort, and from the Societe Gen- erale, but the instrument did not vest him with plenary power, and at the last moment he had to cable to his principal for further instructions. These are now on the way out, but Mr. Greenfells was instructed by cable to sign the contract, and has done so,

The Syndicate is to have a paid up capi- tal of $50,000,000, of which the Societe Generale, half of whose subscribers are Canadian capitalists, contributes $12,500,- 000, and the other firms the remaining fourth. A guarantee of $1,000,000 will be deposited with the Government, to be for- feited should the Syndicate fail in the con- tract. The Government is to hand over to the Syndicate the sections of the road al- ready completed, or in course of construc- tion, the value of which, ineluding the surveys, &c., is put down at $30,000,000, and gives them a cash subsidy of $25,000,- 000 andaland grant of 25,000,000 acres. The land is valued at two dollars per acre so that the gross subsidy with these com- pleted se:tions represents the sum of 8105,- 000,000. The road is to be completed in ten years from Lake Nipissing, its eastern terminus, to Burrard Inlet, on the Pacific There is a special provision that section—roughly speaking, length—from Manitoba to the Rocky Mountains shall be fin ished, eyuipped and = running within three years. The Syndicate will control the completed sections, run them, and he responsible for the running expenses until the completion of the road in 1891, when the Government will take possession. It is provided that the Syndicate shall make no pooling traffic or any other arrangements with the American roads, without the con- sent of the Government, subject to ratitica- tion by the Dominion Parliament. The Government will reserve 25,000,000 aeres in blocks alternating with those granted to the Syndicate, and this land will be thrown upon the market, as the prairie section of the read is building, at $2 an acre and it is believed that the land will bring mueb more. This will give $50,000,000 -a sum sufficient to pay the cash subsidy to the Syndicate and to reconpe the country for the money already spent on the undertaking Professor MaCoun and other authorities estimate that there are at least 200,000,000 acres of good land in the North West, so that after satisfying the land grant to the Syndicate, and their own reserves the Government will have 150,000,000 acres to dispose of.

To the Editor of the Hveaminer

Srr,— A notice signed ** W. Shepherd, City Collector,” appeared in your paper under date ot Octeber 11, 1880, notifyin taxpayers that the officer in question woul be in the ‘* City Clerk’s Office,” for ten days from that date--hours 10) to 4—to receive taxes in arrears. At the expira- tion of those ten days, we were told by the Collector, that the uames of all defaulters would ‘‘ be duly published and executions issued.” The collector has not, however, fortunately for delinquents, carried his threatinto execution. Why, Mr. Editor, should the citizens of Charlottetown be burdened with firo gentlemen im the Clerk's office doing work which one ofticial could discharge without any difficulty? The City Clerk is an efficient officer avd could easily publish the notice in question without the aid of Mr. Shephard and defaulters could be proceeded against by the City Clerk, aided by Baliff Chandler, thereby dispensing with the intrusion in his oftice of asecond clerk in the person of a Col lector. lask, Mr. Editor, if the gentle men who comprise the City Conneil em- ploy more hands in their own business than they require! Why, then, should they continne an uncalled for imposition on the citizens, who are in many respects, unnecessarily overburdened /

Official Electioneering.

Our Washington Correspondent writes :—

‘* Tf woman suffrage were to-day the law of the land, and weman was called upon to exercise the precious boon,” the executive department of the Government would be closed during the week proceeding the day of the Presidential election. Just now the gontle sex are holding the fort, while the men are off to exercise a freeman’s right. but little public business is being transact ed. The Depariments have themselves a funeral look, and affairs of State appear to be running on their own axis.”

Late returns in the recent elections held in the United States show the following results: The House of Representatives stands 146 Republicans, 141 Democrats and 6 Greenbackers. The Senate stands 37 Republicans aud 39 Democrats. Re- publican Governors are elected in Colorado, Connecticut, Llinois, Kansas, Massachu- setts, Michigan, Nebraska,and New Hamp- shire ; and Democratic Governors in Flor- ida, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas, with Tennessee still in donbt. The Demoeratic State Ex- ecutive Committee have adopted. resolu- tions alleging exteusive frauds in the vote in New York, and requesting the County Commissioners to ascertain and report its extent. They say the unaccountable in- crease in the Republican vote in New York and King’s County, and the plain evidence of fraud in such vote, demand immediate investigation on the part of the respective Democratic organizations of the country.
