| before the public we intend to review it.

Mr. Hodgson’s Disclaimer

Iw another column, we publish a letter | from E. J. Hodgson, E q., to the editor of the Patriot, in which he diselaims the editorial remarks of Tne Examiner concerning the King’s County Election case.

The editor of the Patriot has filled high Pp sitions in both Church and State, and it is therefore the more scandalously shameful that he should be guilty of such a breach of jouroalistic etiquette, such a violation of the truth, as to permit th publication in his paper of a statement

that Mr. Hedgson, or any other man, | was the writer of an article in Tue} EXAMINFR. Contributions to” Tre!) EXAMINER are private and confi- devtial with the editor; and how is the editor of the ‘atriot or

anyone else to know who writes them?’ And what are we to think of an E'der| aud ap ex-Governor, who, in his paper. gives publicity to absolute statements. prohibited by the best known rules of journalism, for which he has not, bor cap have. a scintilla of evidence? For the criticism of Chiet Pulmer’s decision in the King’s County | election, the editor of Tue Examrner is | I: coucerved a matter | it was published

Justice |

alone re-pousible. affecting the public, in the interests of the public, and neither to gratify Mr. Hodgson vor to briug ridicule upon the Chief Justice. Mr. | Hodg-on was pot corsuited about it, aud | had nothing to do with it.

The idea that, in such cases, judg- ments of Judges are so sacred that they may vot be commevted upon bor crilicis- ed by a journalist is preposterous non- sense. It is no doubt very clever in the

defevders of the Chief Justice to throw |

the responsibility of our remarks upon Mr. Hodgson. The force of the critici-m would of course be weakened, if public were impressed with the idea that it came from the solicitor in the case; aud. no doubt, it suits their purposes to | vilify Mr. Hodgson and embarrass his| relaiious as a tuarrister «ith the| the Judges before whom he is obliged | to appear These tac:ics are clever. | But though the position of Mr. Hodgson | may be so compromised, Tne EXamMineER is vot to be so muzzled. We have uo desire to emburass Mr. Hodgson; but} Tue Examiner has a duty to perform, | and from that duty we shall not sbrivk| for fear either of the abuse of the Patriot | or the “cleverness”. of His Lordship’s | friends.

When the Muttart-Mclotyre trial was | pending, ove of the staff of THe Ex- | AMINER went to Georgetown to report) the evidence, and while he was there the | editor reveived a letter from Mr. Hodgsor, | in which he says:

“Mr. MeQuaid teils me that he ia here to report each days proceedings fur the }x- AmMiner. Of course 1 have no right to urge you to adept or rfrain from any course in the management of your paper, but you know how I hate any case in which Iam engaged and for the conduct of which I am resp: nsible being made the subject of political c ntr- versy. As Counsel for Mnttart, 1 deprecate the adoption of this course. It is now br fore the Court and I ask it be allowed to remain there. No matter what the Patriot says, o1 what line it may take, urge that Mut a'ts case be al!owed to remain where it is. I detest making judicial questions subjects of party warfare Let there be «ne tribunal out of the reach of politics. I don’t believe any of our Jodves in any Court allow politics to weigh with them a single grain, I* is not that I mind in the least the abuse which the Patriot would pour upon me. That will come, no matter what is done or said. Its sloy-pail is always ready when there is en opportunity of spattering me. But this mitter comm: need in the Law Courts, let it continue and end there.

Yours truly, ‘*Kowarp J. Hopeson.”’

Fearing that the publication of the evidence at that stage of the proceedings might prejudice the case, we acceded to Mr. Hodgsou’s request; and though the Patrict was very tree with abu-ive commeuta while the case was a ill pend ing, Tne Examiner said nothiog about it, But when the decision of the Chief Justice was made known, the reasons for silence were no longer of weight. The extraordinary grounds of the di cision were then open toc i icism ; and we ventured, in respectful lauguage, to point out some of the most glaring inconsistencies in the judgment.

For this THe Examiner has been at- tacked with the most barbarous weapons or vitupe'ation, and Mr. Hodgson has been falsely accused and malignanily as-

the case: and whe it has all been laid

ee Sheer Sueer are classified by their wool, as fine wools, middle wools, and long wools, The most valued of the first are merinoes, remarkable for the large quantity of yolk, or grease, filling their wool, the atundance of folds or wrinkles in their skin, and large horns of the rams, Middle Wools, are all of English origin. Amworg them are the Downs, Hampshire, d, Shropshire, and Scuthdown, the chief being the lat er, op account of its ex- client, useful fleece, and superior mutton,

Cixtor

on long wool breeds

Long Wools comprise some excellent breeds, the Leicester, Lincoln, and Cots- wolds, being most widely bred, of largest size, smell offal, quick growers, the first nan ed, he ing best suited to this Province.

The number of breeds of sheep is 50 great that uo one person can have thorough knowledge of them all, but we may describe the “Downs” which are being introduced here They are horvless, of good size, grey or bleckish faces, and dark grey legs, very broad loins, deep chests, thick throngh the heart, wide saddles. wide and deep hams, small bones and little offal grow quickly, fat at all ages, and small feeders.

Sheep are profitable in three ways. Their wool, lambs and mutton; and the lambs in chree ways more, as: early for miurket, kept to replace yearly sales avd slaughter, or sold at extra prices for bre eding.

Nearness to, or dstence from market, inflnences the choice of breed, and she one

a‘ a salary of three hundred dollars a year, be rescinded,

The motion was put. for it,—

Ayes—Council'ors Murpby, Crabbe, Lea, Morris and Kongban.

Nays—Conncillors Davy, Tanton, Ladner,

There appeared

| Douse and Horne.

The Mayor gave his casting vote with the nays.

The original motion, confirming the min- utes, was then put and carried,

It was moved by Councillor Morris, sec- onded by Councillor Horne,—

Resolved, Vhat the resignation of Wilham B. Morrison of the office of City Clerk be ec- cepted, to take ¢ffect on the J5th of March next and until then that he perform the duties of bis ottice at his present salary,

Ox» motion of Councillor Tanton, second- ed by Councillor Davy,—

Resolved. That Mr. A, H. MePherson be appoipted City Clerk of this City, from the }Hth day of March next, at a salary at the rate of six hundred dollars per year.

Moved in amendment by Councillor Lea, seconded by Councillor Koughan,—

Resolved, That Mr. George Smallwood be appointed City Clerk at a salary of five hund- red and fifty doliars a year.

Lost on the following division :

Nays—Counci'lor Morris, Tanton, Horne, Ladner, Douse, Davy and Crabhe.

Ay:s—Counciliurs Murphy, Koughan,and Lea.

The original motion was then put and carried,

Moved by Councillor Panton, seconded by Councillor Douse,— ~

Resolocd, That Councillors Morris, Tanton, and Horne, be the Financial Committee for the the present year.

Moved in amendment by Councillor Murphy, seconded by Councillor Koughan,

Whereas, Messrs. Douse, Ladner, and

has so affected the other, that the succeess- ful sheep raiser, is sure to be a good farmer; as though the breed will overcome obstacles of climate, it can only do so, with good slelter, food, and mavayement. Although our sheep have rexched a good point of «x- cellence, yet there is alw»ys room for im- iprovement, and as we have about three |handred thousand of them, it isa question ol impor'ance.

For general purposes it is not well to raise pure breeds. The cross breeds, and are always an im- | provement, as they have few faults, and retain ali the merits of both parents.

As our wool is now in peor demand, at low prices, we must seek some breed with better woo), but yet with good matton, and constitutin, and snitable to our climate. The Shropshire Down fills the bili pretty well, though it would not be wise to get rid of all the iong-woo!s.

n sheep-bieeding, as others, the male is the most important, though for perfect

animals both must be well-bred ; ana if not |

perfect alone, the two combined should form perfection. Put the purest bleod-d ram to be had, to your best ewes, chosen for the points you want to appear in the lambs, and by care in this selection and after management, great improvement can be made without much expense ; but do not think of keeping the ram lambs from such, for breeding

In a large flock, the ewes often differ so, |”

that they can be classed _In this case select rams for each division, that will correct its weak points ; and in smail fi cks, also, one or more ewes will diff-r»nd may be served by aramof some neighbor, and his by yours.

lf early lambs are needed, have them come in March, and as ewes go twenty-two or twenty three weeks, the rams must run with them about the midale of September. Provide warm pens for lambing, and with a little extra care and feed, reap large exira pretits In this case the ram should be Leicester, Southduwn or Shropsnire Down, as crossed with common sheep they yive larger lambs, increased tendency to fat, and quick growth.

If wool and lambs for breeding and im- proved mutton are desired, do not have the lambs come uutil there is grass for the ewes, and in any case do not be afraid of giving both ewes and rauis grain and extra feed, at serving-time especially, and the former all through winter, with roots to- ward spring, as, though it is not well to have them too fat fat for lambing, it is not a common fault here.

Keep ewes, rams, wethers and lambs separate, and all w them plenty room to move about, as sheep cannot bear confine- ment, and require frequent change, and see they have aconstant supply of salt, and pure wa'er, #8 it is just as necessary to them as to the her-es.

Study your fi ck and know each member of it, #8 in Palestine the Shepherd’s know their sheep, name them and have them obey their call. Mark each sheep with the patent metallic ear-mark now used, aud keep a record of serving, lambiny, time, merits of ewes as nurses, &., which will be valuable fr reference to buyers or your- self for breeding in a large flock. Remem- ber that a flock is easier built up by atten- tion to the stuck on hand, than by giving sole attention to new blood from outside, and therefore keep the bes! lambs as breed- ers, if early lambs are an obj. ct keep those from ewes that have large single Jambs of of quick growth; if mutton sheep are wanted keep the lambs from ewes that have twins

sailed.

The editor of Tae Examrer is not a} lawyer; but we veuture the assertion | that no law existe to preveut a public journal from discussing the proceedings of a Court of Justice, or the judgmeut upon those proceedings, The admiuis- tration of justice is, in our opinion, and also iu the opinion of the best authori- ties to whom we have access, a matter of universal interest to the whole public. The decisic n of a Jud.e, the ve:dict of a Jury, the decrees of a Court, the very demeanor of the Judges on the Bench, are all sulvects of free comment. It is in the interest of all of us that this should be so. It isnot. of course, to be expected that in dis: harging thi« duty | a jourvalist will be infallible. Editors | are but men. Like Judges and other | men, their judgments may be biased | Withont any imputation upon their good | faith, ad are subjects for fair eritici<im. But neither the vilification of the Patriot | nor the fulse accusa‘ions of its corres-| pondents, will induce us to surrender | our right to brirg the decision of any | udge or the verdict of any jury to the!

It was moved by Covncillor Horne, seconded by Councillor Davy that the minutes of the previous meeting be adopted.

Councillor Crabbe, seconded by Coun- cillor Murphy. moved an amendment,—

Moved, as an amendment, by Councillor

Reasvived, That Coungillor Crabbe have leave to withdraw his motion,

The amendment was then put avd carried on division, as follows :—

Ayes--Councilicre Lea, Horne, Ladner and Tanteon.

Navs— Councillors Murphy. Koughan, aud Morris.

It was moved by Councillor Crabbe, seconded by Councillor Murphy, —

Davy, Donse,

Crabbe,

Tanton, have been elected menib ra of this Council for the purpose of reducirig the taxes, better management of the Civic Finances and for the improvement of City matters generally; and —

Whereas, It is necessary for the purpose of carrying out the before named improvements that Messrs. Dovse, Ladner and Tanton, be appointed members of the Finance Committee ; and

Whereas, It may be said (unless the said Messrs. Douse, Ladner and Tanton do com- pose the said Finance Committ-e) that these gentlemen fearing their incompetency to -per- form the duties of the said office of Committee of Finance have refused to serve on the said Con mittee or that a majority of this Council heing of an opinion that the said Messrs. Douse, ladner and Tanton do not possess the qualifications to perform the duties for which | they have been el cted require to appornt said M-+ssrs. Douse, Lander and Tanton, on the Finai.ce Committee ; and

Whereas, It is undesirable and unfair to these gentlemen to give direct or indirect cause for assuming that they are in any | way incompetent to per‘orm the duties for | which they have been elected ;

Therefore Resolved, That Councillors Douse, Ladner and ‘lanten, form the Finances Com- mi'tee.

The amendment was put and lost, and the eriginal motion was carried.
