Legislative Council.

A MAJORITY OF THE PROPERTY HOLDERS IN FAVOR OF THE ABOLITION OF THE LEG ISLATIVE COUNCIL.

Tue result of the Legislative Counci] elections has been favorable to abolition The abolitionists have carried four of the seven seats. Three of these were wrested ° _— 4 il from the Government. Mr. Rogers, although claimed by the Government, has been elect-

ed by a minority vote. A majority of near”

ly a hundred votes was polled for the Con servatives. But owing to their dividing their votes with two candidates, Mr. Rogers

was elected by 403 votes, against an aggre-

gate of 495 for the Opposition candidates. ae Bconomy and Reform — Preaching vs. Practice. {

| It is stated in an Utiawa despatch tha the rumors current for some time that va- rious departments in the publie service had been virtually packed by the late Govern ment, and additions made shortly after th general elections, are verified by returns | from some departments. Consequently there will be a considerable reduction of employ. ees. On the first of January next, in th department of finance the services of eigh assistants are to be dispensed with, an similar reductions made in the service gen erally, both inside and outside. The most rigid economy will be necessary iu order t place the public expenses upon a satisfactory basis. Dismissals.

The Truro ‘‘Sun” has correct views on on the subject of dismissals :—~

No man, efficient in office, in our opinion should be removed who has not made him- self personally and officiously obnoxious to those who nowcontrol the State. If any officer of the Dominion or Local Gov- ernments has gone beyond the confines of his office to personally solicit all the hostile aid he could array against his then oppo- nents, but now his employers, during the late campaign, he is a good subject for seri. ous consideration as to his removal. If in anyway he has hounded on the snarling curs that, in every section, were hurling low per- sonalities at the heads of the candidates of the Liberal-Conservative party, we say most decidedly, let such ungrateful officials ‘* walk the plank”—a martyr to his own offiiciousness and to the petty applause,that at the time was lulled into hisears, by those who imagined they had but to walk the course for their easy victory.

The ‘‘ Sun” speaks the views of the Lib- eral-Conservative party, and in all cases of the kind mentioned, the Government will

be expected to act, and to act promptly,too.

Important Movements.

THE importance of the newsthataftermuch fighting the Russian forces have now over- come the resistance of the Khans, and -that a Russian column 8,(€00 strong is now on its way to Balkh, may be estimated by the followirg facts :—

‘**In 1848 Russia began her advance frum Lake Aral upon the Amu Darya, and since then has pushed her way southward toward Afghanistan. During this period she has never given up any position gained, but has held it safe for further operations. When questioned by England as to her intentions, she has disavowed all wish for conqnest, and has affirmed that she merely wished to make her own southeastern frontier secure from the depredations of the savage and warlike Khana. She would push on, she said, until she reached the Afghanistan frontier, where she would stop; but now all her organs of official utt-rance declare that these Asiatic conyuests, which have cost her so much blood and money, will be worth- less unless Afghanistan itself becomes either a Russian province or Russian de- — Now, if the Russians are at

Ikh, the road to Herat is open to them, and Herat is the northern key to Afghan. If English ‘roops enter Afghanistan from the south, Russian troops will be ready to enter it from the north. Then Russia

could threaten British India froin the most

advantageous point, and demand the free-|city the winter port, and that every facility

The Edison Light.

Prorrsson Morton has written a letter to the Plumber about the Edison Light, in which he says :—‘* The future is undoubt- rdly full of possibilities in these directions; but the past teaches us that the space of ten years and of endless experiment lies

between us and their possible realization.” Che Plumber remarks :—

‘*We regret to see certain influential journals prostituting their high position by oublishing absurd accounts of interviews that never took place, and attributing statements to such men as Prof. Edison and President Morton that they never made— all for tae evident purpose of being sensa- tional, and securing sale for their papers. This supposed newspaper enterprise is loing damage to many innocent people. It vay be a source of gratification to sume to hear it reported that ‘‘gas stocks are de- clining,” but to such we would say that we cannot consider the shrinkage of any kind of property taking place, whether from real or imaginary causes, a matter of congratu- lation. A large number of holders of gas stocks have hitherto been widows, minors, and people of small means. The rubbish published in some journals about the won- derful ‘‘electric light” has alarmed these persons, and induced them to throw their shares on the market, to be gobbled up by better informed capitalists. ‘That the elec- tric light may some time become a for- midable competitur to gas is possible, but to-day, we believe, it is not an accomplished fact.”

Manufacturers in Council.

The Ontario Manufacturers and Industrial Association,at a recent convention, adopted | the following resolutions :—

‘*That the tariff should be re-adjasted in accordance with the verdict of the people at the polls, so as to afford judicious but effectual protection to all industries suited to the country.

** Duties should be put on foreign farm products, and manufactures of the same, as will secure for our farmers and millers the markets of the Maritime Provinces, and such duties on coal and economic ores as will secure to the Maritime Provinces the markets of Ontario and Quebec.

‘In order to avoid the under-valuation on importations, the number of ports of en- try should be reduced, efficient and thor- oughly reliable appraisers should be ap- pointed, and the penalty of confiscation should be rigidly inforced.

‘*Tn order to encourage trade with the West Indies and other tropical countries, a line of steamers be subsidized to ply between Canada and those countries. The meeting expresses its cordial sympathy with the peo- ple of Halifax in their efforts to make their

THE McCABRTHY MURDER,

Dorcusrsrer, Nov. 15.

This morning W. J. M. Hanington, Cor- loner of Shediac, was the first witness. He gave a detailed description of the body, as viewed by him in his capacity. The clothes, rope (found on the ice), etc., were jproduced and identibed by the witness as found with the body at the inquest and at the post mortem. ‘ihe articles were taken care of under his direction. He was in the har-room with the jury during the inquest. | Ho deseribed the Waverley and surround- lines, and exhibited a plan of the same; he lwent to the Scadoue with Annie Parker, land she pointed out the place where the jbody, she said, was put. There much mud on the flats. the way on returning, and pointed to a buneh of willows. He noticed a panel in ithe farmer’s fence which had the appear- ance of having been moved or let down. Damien White showed witness where the rope was found. (Stone produced and identified.) Witness saw a wagon track through farmer Atkinson’s field. The [iid axle seemed to be _ longer than the front one, as the hind tracks were outside the front ones. A fair truck- ing wagon would not make such a track. Dr. Tuck jsuggested that* an opportu- nity to visit the Scadoue be afforded at once, before a snow-storm may render the localities very difficult to observe. Satur- day was then agreed upon for the visit. [t was further agreed that no person but the Sheriff accompany them, and no tampering, whatever, in any way be allowed. Also, that they be allowed to use their own dis- cretion and observation. If necessary, they will be allowed a horse and wagon to try the experiment of driving down the bank and backing up tothe front dvor of the Waverley. Of course this will be done. The Counsel, together with His Honor, thought the telegraph visiting the Scadoue would tend considerably to lessen the ex- pense incurred ; and the fact of the Muni- cipality of Westmoreland refusing the bill of telegraphing the last trial was men- tioned, when His Honor thought that if the Council understood the object properly, they would not have rejected the bill. The jury leave to-morrow morning by train. Neither the Counsel nor His Honor are ex- pected to accompany them. Mr. Palmer then continued to cross-examine the wit- ness (Mr. Hanington) on the appearance of the body. He could not see the shirt front, as the rubber coat was buttoned to the ne ck.

Co urt adjourned for dinner.

ANNIE PARKER,

sworn :—Related the old story of her birth and nationality; her father kept hotel and bar-room at Dalhousie, when she left home. She proceeded thus : I came to Moncton a year last May. Went to Osborne’s shortly after. (Gave names of Osborne family.) hey lived in Moncton, but afterwards moved to Waverly House, in Shediac. Re- member 12th of ,October, 1877. I was then at Osborne’s. The day was stormy. Our only boarder that day was Campbell, the dentist. No one lodged there that day. Campbell was there when I went to live there in Shediac. The 12th was wet and windy; rained very hard. John Os- borne had typhoid fever and was confined to his bed. He was ill when I went there. He was not down stairs on that day. On the morning of that day I saw him in his room. He was delirious and did not know me. He was slowly convalescing. Camp- bell was the only stranger who took dinner there that day. Family were all home, but the little girl who was in Moncton. I knew Timothy McCarthy. Never spoke to him before 12th Oct.; had seen him at Os- Osborne’s in Moncton before. The storm abated in the afternoon, Campbell was alone with us again at tea. Timothy McCarthy was the first man who caine in after tea. 1 took tea with the family. After I washed the dishes and put some water on to heat for serubbing pur- poses. McCarthy came in about 9 o’clock. He had on a rubber coat, rubber hood and rubber leggings. I noticed this at a glance. He went into the ladies’ sitting room, with- out removing any of his rubber outfit. Eliza was in there playing on the piano. They had this piano in Moncton. I com- menced to scrub the dining-room floor. It is separuted from the sitting-room by fold- ing doors. These doors were ajar. [ would scrub a while and listen a while to what was going on in the other room. He commenced to tease Eliza; he was talking about leaving his home and his wife. He was laughing with Eliza. She turned ar und on the piano stovo] and talked with him. He took a chair and sat down near the folding doors; he had no hat on, only a rubber hood. Eliza teased him about buy- ing a Velvet polonaise for his sewing girl in Moncton. Eliza said she had seen her
