The Election in Queen’s County.
bo ll ; | (Correspondence of the Ottawa Citizen.)
| ‘The contest in Queen’s, P. E. I., on Tuesday last was undoubtedly a signal vie- tory for Sir John A. MeDonald and _ his government.
At the last election, as we have seen, Mr. Davies, Liberal, and Mr. Brecken, Conservative, were returned, Mr. Davies leading by nearly fifty votes. Dr. Jenkin’s demanding a recount which gave him the seat, Mr. Brecken appealing to the Supreme Court, which, in turn, reseated ‘him. Without attempting to pass judg- menton Dr. Jenkins for demanding a re- ‘count,—which eould only have the effect of ‘unseating Mr. Brecken, and seating him-
\likely to be resented by the friends of Mr. | Brecken at the time, and as_ is well known ‘subjected him to severe comment in a por- tion, at least, of the press of his party, comment which was gladly paraded by the Reform press in the constituency, to the attempted injury of the Doctor in the con- 'test just closed. Under such circumstances, ‘all fair men will admit that the Conserv- ative candidate entered the field at a dis- advantage. In addition, he is credited by ithe Refornrers— whether truthfully or not, |1 know not—with having said that he ‘‘in- tended to run, convention or no conven- tion,” and was charged by them with not having been nominated by a convention of the ‘‘people” of his party.
On the other hand, it was claimed by the Reform press, (see Patriot of August 16th) ‘that Mr. Welsh was the ‘‘people’s candi- date, chesen unanimously by the largest political convention ever assembled in Queen’s County, and in the same paper of the 5th ult., that he was ‘‘the best man who had sought their suffr+ges for years.” Mr, Davies stated at the ratification meeting that the voice of the convention was “ Welsh, Welsh, and nobody but Welsh.” The Reform party claimed, and all parties conceded, that in securing Mr. Welsh as their candidate, they were play- ing their very strongest card, and entering the fight with a united party; while it must be apparent to all that the Conservatives were divided at least by strong personal feeling.
It will be remembered that, after the | net general election, the return of Mr. Davies caused great rejoicing inthe Re- form ranks, some of whom considered him as ‘‘Mr. Blake's ablest new lieutenant.” In his place in Parliament he occupied at least his fair share of time, and displayed an energy worthy of a better cause in an attempt to prove that the policy of the Government was ruinous to the Isiand of Prince Edward, and consequently distaste- ful to its people, threatening immense ‘‘re- action.”
Mr. Davies was ‘‘at home” throughout this campaign. He also had valued assist- ance from abroad. Mr. Patterson, M. P. from Brant was there, Mr. Robertson, M. P. from Shelburne was there. Mr. Car- michael, ex-M. P. from Pictou was there : while nota single outsider that we are aware of visited the constituency in the interest of the Government candidate.
France and China.
The 8‘. Petersburg Gazette reeently gave the following particulars regarding the military strength of China: —
China has two separate armies. The im- perial army proper is known under the name of the Army of the Eight Banners. It is divided into eight corps, each being distinguished by a peculiar banner. This army almost forms a military caste, for it is alinost composed exclusively of the descend- ants of the Manickus, Mongolians and Chinese rebels, who in 1601 invaded China and dethroned the old imperial family. During peace the men of this caste are allowed to conduct any common business, being forbidden only to leave the city with out a permit from tie commanding officer. The officers excel their men only in gy mnas- tics. According to the Chinese notions, no man is fit to be an officer unless he is an athlete. This army numbers 210,000 men: of these over one-half are stationed in Pekin, and the rest in a few large provincial cities. This military caste can by no means be regarded as a regular army.
The second or provincial army is called the ermy of the Great Banner. Each of the eighteen provinces of the empire is obliged by law to keep a certain number of soldiers, and their aggregate, according to the official statistics, is 650,000 men. There are 80 generals and over 7,000 officers. The provincial army is composed chiefly of mercenaries, while the majority of the officers are of the military estate. These two armies, amounting to 760,000 men, are all the force the Celestial Empire has to rely on in the case of war.
The Imperial Guard, about 18,000 strong, is the flower of the army. Of the Guard Infantry, 5,200 men are provided with muzzle-loaders, presented by the Czar of Russia; the rest are armed with flint guns, lances and shields. Half of the cavalry, about 2,000 men, are armed with Chassepot rifles. The artillery has thirty-two bronze
guns, bought in Russia, and a few mor- tars. There are 1,750 educated artillery- men,
The army of the Governor of Chij!ly, about 80,000 strong, is also reorgamized. The men are instructed by French and English officers. The army has breech- loading rifles and Krupp stee) cannon. According to German writers, up to 1879, Krupp had sent to China 150 heavy guns and 275 field guns. The army of the Govy- ernor of Khan Zu and Shan Zee, 40,000 strong, is said to be supplied with all the modern arms, and to be drilled according to the principles of Moltke and Manteuffel. This army feught successfully against Yakoob Beg, and, indeed, proved itself the best disciplined army in China.
It is obvious, then, that in China there are only about 120,000 men of properly armed and drilled, while the rest of the soldiers can be regarded only as undiscip- lined and unarmed reserves. As to gun- powder and arms, the Chinamen apparently have an abundant supply of their own,
There are eight excellent arsenals, directed chiefly by Englishmen. Jian-Zio, for instances, turns out daily 3,600 pounds of powder.

After a gallant fight, Dr. Jenkins has won. The vigorous rhetoric of Mr. Pater-
son, the extravagant, and would be pathetic deelamation of Mr. Davies, the seductive entreaties of Mr. Robertson and the parti- zan appeals of Mr.Carmichael,were listened to with respect, and estimated at their proper value. The Government, whose policy was declared by Mr. Davies to be disastrous to the Island, has been triumph- antly sustained in its metropolitan consti- tuency.
Appearances indicate that the personal friends of the late member, Mr. Brecken, i2ust have sunk private feeling in the public interest. All who know that gen- tleman, know that he is not only a true party man, but also, personally, the very ‘soul of honor,” and unusually free from vindictiveness or revenge. The strong in- fluence which the possessor of such quali- ties always gives to the possessor doubtless had a salutary effect upon his former con- stituents.
Dr. Jenkins and the Liberal Conservative arty of Queen’s deserve, and will receive, the approbation and thanks of the party throughout the entire Demiaion, for having carried the flag of their ehieftain through such a long hot day, in such a busy season, to such splendid and decisive victory, and for having proved that the ‘‘reaction,” boasted of by Mr. Davies, was similar to that in Albert and York, N. B., and in Lunenburg, N.a.
Dr. Jenkins, who is said to be an able man, and who must be an influential one, is heartily to be congratulated, as well as the rank and file of the party in Queen's, who by such a gallant effort have placed him in his present position, It is to be hoped, that, after such a victory, any little personal divisions that may have existed in the party in that important constituency may be entirely healed and forgotten. Under such circumstances, Dr, Jenkins and his friends can afford, if necessary, to be magnanimeuus, Mr. Brecken and his friends can afferd, if necessary, to be forgiving; and all can afford to be jubilant.
From present appearances there is little doubt that they wall

Fisherman's Luck. In Scotland they have a curious way of fishing that takes the medal for the ease and repose with which it is conducted. The fisherman, we will say, is after pike, Selecting a big goose from his barnyard, or half a dozen geese, as the case may be, he ties a baited hook and line five feet long to their feet, and on reaching the water, turns them in. ‘The birds of course, swim out, and the fisherman lights his pipe and sits down. Ina few minutes a fish sees the bait and seizes it, giving the goose a good pull. The bird starts for shore at full tilt, frightened half to death, dragging the fish upon the bank, where it is unhooked. The line being rebaited, the feathered fisher- man is again sent out to try its luck. A flock of geese can make qnite a haul in the course of the day, the human fisherman having only to take off the game, and bait the hook, the pulling in and hooking being done by the birds. In Washington Terri- tory, in the great salmon river, pigs have been seen to chase fish, diving for them under water. Pigs are not naturally lively animals under water, but they are said to pick up dead salmon in ten feet of water by diving. —N. Y. Sun,
