The Governorship.

fuse Cabinet has recommended to the Governor-General the appointment of the Hon. Thomas Heath Haviland to the

L'eutenant-Governorship of this Province —heterm of Sir Robert Hedgson having expired. We congratulate Senator Havi- land, and feel certain that his appointment ment will give general satisfaction. His knowledge of constitutional law, together with his long parliamentary experience, will eminently qualify him for the duties of the gubernatorial chair. The interest which Senator Haviland has always taken in mat- ters relating to this, his native Province, leads us to believe that, in everything which it is proper and consistent for the Governor to engage, ir the direction of ad- vancing the welfare of the Island, will re- czive his cordial support and co-operation. The appointment of a native of the Province or one for many years a resident of it, to the position of Governor, is and judicious. Men the [sland canndét possibly be acquainted

wise

who have not resided on

with its political history, or understand those vital questions which are always agitating the public mind. Mistakes occur either in refusing at certain times, or ac- cepting at all times, the advice of Minis- ters, and these mistakes often happen from a lack of information on the part of a Gov- ernor of acolony. The consequence often is dissension between the Governor of the day and his Governinent which may serious- ly impede the progress of legislation. We may venture the assertion that progres- sive and proper legislation will never be ob- structed by any act of Senator Haviland while holding the ofiice of Governor.

Sir Robert Hodgson, whuse term of oflice expired on the 4th inst., may fairly be said to have no political or other enemies, and this we may remark, in this community, is the best evidence of his popularity as Gov- ernor.

The “ Southport.”

We are pleased to be able to state that the steamer Southport has been successfully raised from where she was sunk at the Ferry Wharf. Early on Saturday, the precaution was taken of sending to Pictou, for a diver, who arriyed by the St. Lawrence that evening. After encasing himself in his diving suit, he went down to examine her hull from the eutside, but, owing to her peculiar shape and position, and the darkness, hecould accomplish nothing. Dur- ing the day preparations were being made

Our North-West Indians

ir the telegrams to the New York papers are to be credited, a number of the Indians on the-Canadian side of the line, in the North-West, crossed into the United States territory, and are engaged in fighting with the tribes south of the line. It is probable

that the presence of so many Sioux on

Canadian territory during the past two years tended to improve the conduct of our Indians. The New York Herald’s despatch, with reference to this Indian invasion, is as follows :

General Miles was instructed by the War Department, on the Ist, to proceed at once with sufficient force to repel the invasion of British Indians whe have crossed our bor- der in pursuit of buffalo, and are now men- acing the Gros Ventres, Assiniboines and other tribes located in the northern part of Montana. Information of this invasion was received at the Interior Department Monday afternoon, and the War Depart- ment was promptly notified of the neces- sity ef acting at once to prevent further trouble, the news received being to the effect that the British Iudians were well armed and had already made attacks upon the American Indians, driving the latter southward.

REPORT OF THE INDIAN AGENT.

The repert received from the Indian Agent at the Gros Ventres Agency, Mon- tana. under date of June 16, was that in- vaders had already killed a number of buf- falo, and that the American Indians, in their effort to protect their own game, had had several skirmishes, with loss of life on both Tl

has not

sides. The difficulty is, in the opinion of officials at the Interior Department, a serious one. STATEMENT OF SECRETARY Secretary Schurz says that for some time there have been apprehensions of such an invasion, as the encroachment of white settlements upon the domain ef the Indians in the British possessions has been gradu- ally contracting the territory available to the British Indians for supplying them- selves With subsistence by hunting. For some time these Indians have encroached wpon our territery, pursuing game which could not be found within the limits of British territory. Canadian officials, it is understood have anticipated these troubles, but the mounted police empleyed in keep- ing the peace have confined their labors to patrolling the line between the white settle- ments and the Indian reservations. Their number is said not to exceed three hundred, and no attention has been given to the re- peated encroachments upon American ter-

SCHURZ.

ritory. CANADIAN INDIAN DIFFICULTIES. The same difticulties which have been ex- perienced in the management ef our Indians now beset the Canadians, who have already sought advice and reports through agents sent to Washingten to ascertain the methods employed by our Indian Bureau. The present invasion is regarded as unfortunate by our officials, and the Secretary of State will at once communicate to the British Minister the facts and apprehensions of our Government, urging the importance of pro tecting our peaceably disposed Indians from such aggravating causes for revolt and in- subordination. ‘The appropriation made by Congress for fceding the Northern tribes is so small as to compel them to seek support by hunting, and if the already fast dis- appearing herds of buffalo are to be de- pended for subsistence the importance of protecting the hunting grounds of our In- dians will be readily understood. By those who are theroughly informed of the situa- tion it is said that the Canadians are just beginning to experience the troubles the United States has had in subjugating the wild and roving tribes. OUR INDIAN AFFAILS.

At present our Indian affairs are in ex- cellent order. There is but very little com-

by Mr. A. Kelly, of Seguthport,—who is very successful at such ‘work,—for drawing her more out of the channel when the tide

thirty feet up. The next morning the diver again went down—-this -time inside. He soon found the dead-light by which the water entered, and closed it. ‘There being no other places visible where water would enter, he again came to the surface to await further emergencies. With this tide, Mr. Kelly again took her up about ten feet. About 4 p. m. the water fell sufficient to get the steam engine ‘‘Rollo” and a rotary pump from McKinnon & McLean’s, into pesition. They both worked admirably, the engine delivering two heavy streams, and the rotary pump one. In about four hours the deck was clear of water and she began to raise, so that at ten o’clock the water was all out and she sat on an even keel. To-day at 12, noon, she had steam on, and will be ready to-morrow to make her regular trips to West River, and to fulfil ail her engagements for excur- sions, ete--Com.

Tue news from many who have left their homes for Manitoba is not very encouraging. Farming in the Far West, to be successful, must he backed up ly capital beyond the reach of the large majority of emigrants. The write? has no hesitation in sta ing, without fear of truthful contracliction, that many who leave their homes on P. E. Island would, if they faced with energy and perseverance the vacant lands in their native Province, soon become more inde- pendent, contented and happy at home, than it is possible for them to expect to be- come in a new country, deprived, as it must be, of many of the advantages enjoyed by the ayriculturists of our own Province. Every day we see advertised, cultivated farms and woodland farms for sale, offering fair inducements, at a small cost, to those whe are willing to work.

The entertainments gotten up in his honer by the better class, and the enthusiastic demonstrations of all whe take an interest in rowing, showed that the English people are ready to heartily ap- plaud real merit ne matter in whom found. How little did Edward Hanlan think in ’76 when he had considerable difticulty in finan- cially preparing himself for the Centennial regatta, that in less than three years he should be almost worshipped by the Eng- lish people as the champien sculler of three countries.

The St John News says : ‘‘Now, that he is On his way home, the New York Herald appears to be making quite an effort to have a race arranged between the Toronto oars- manand Courtney. The Toronto Globe names Wallace Ross as Hanlan’s most for. midable rival. The friends of Warren Smith believe him to be a match for either Ross or Courtney at least. A race between Smith and Ross, and then between the winner and Courtney, would decide which of the three was the best man to pit against Hanlan. Then, if no accident happened, and Hanlan added another success to his long list of victories, there could be no doubt from any quarter as tu his being the champion sculler of the world. Should Wallace Ross ceme out victorious, a large number would be found ready to back him against all-comers for the next several years, and St. John would be more in- terested in aquatics than during the palmy

The Founding of Quebec

The first week in July this year Contains three famous anniversaries, which are oi great interest to the English and — speaking people on this continent. Phe first of these, Dominion day, celebrates av event of too recent occurrence to be regard- ed with the same feelings with which we look upon older anniversaries, but as the years glide on, and the event which is com- memorated fades into antiquity, no deubt it will evoke as much enthusiasm as any ‘other national celebration. Friday last was the one hundred and third anniversary of the Independence of the United States, and we need scarcely say that itis one which has always been celebrated with great spirit by our friends across the line. rhe manner of commemorating it has, indeed, changed greatly of recent years,spread eagle oratory and kindred follies have become things of the past, with the dawn of better taste but the regard for the day is no less sin- eere, nor is the mode of celebrating it less earnest than in the days gone by. Thurs- day was an important anniversary in the history of Canada, and especially in the Province of Quebec, for on that day, two hundred and seventy One years ago, Que.vc was founded by Champlain. The illustrious founder of Quebec had already spent three years and a half in Acadia before he found- ed Quebec, one winter being spent at St. Croix Island, now known as Deucett’s Island, and the remainder of the {time at Port Royal, now Annapolis. The latter place was temporarily abandoned _ in 1607, and Champlain was employed by DeMonts, who had projected the first expedition to Acadia, to conduct an expedition up

the St. Lawrence. On the 8rd July, 1608, Champlain’s vessel cast ancher before the site of Quebec. He and

his fellow voyagers disembarked at the point of land new occupied by the lower town of Quebec and erected a number of huts fer residences near the site of the pre- sent Quebee market. Champlain also built a palisaded fort, which was surreunded by a moat, asa defence against the savages. Such was the feeble beginning of Canada’s ancient capital. It is a singular fact and well worthy of being noted here that, small and feeble as Champlain’s frst colony was, it contained within it the germs of a danger- ous revolution. The severe discipline main- tained by that leader furnished a black-

smith named Jean Duval, who had been with him in Acadia, with an exense for plotting against Champlain. Duval and

his fellow-conspirators proposed to kill the great explorer, pillage the stores, seize the ship, and take refuge with their booty in Spain. The plot, however, was betrayed by one of the conspirators, Duval was hang- ed, and the other ringleaders sent back to France.

When Champlain was left at Quebec in the aytumn he had but twenty-eight men with hin—a feeble party with which to commence the erection of an Imperial Cel- ony ; when the snow thawed in the follow- ing spring, he had but eight— all the others had died of scurvy during the winter. Such were the trials te which the early ex- plorers of that day were exposed in their efforts te open a now centinent to the en- terprise of man. The French people of Quebec are accustome i! to celebrate with much enthusiasm the anniversary of their city’s foundation, and we whe dwell in an- other part of Canada cannot but loek upen the event with kindly interest, for Quebec must always be regarded as the foremost place in the Dominion in a historic point of view, however much it may be eclipsed by other Canadian cities in population and wealth.-—St. John Telegraph.

John Bight and the Home Rulers-

An exciting scene occured in the British House of Commons the other night. Hon. John Bright made a speech defending the conduct of Irish members ‘‘ in obstructing the business of the House in order to compel attention to their de- mands, ” “Trish members of Par- liament,” said he, ‘‘ formed only an in- significant numerical i»inority in the House, and they had only two methods possible for them to obtain what the ma- jority was disposed to refuse. One of these methods was to sell themselves to one of the two English parties, and thi.. give the purchaser the balance of power. Theother was to exercise their parliamentary rights, and by the obstruction of business under the forms of the House, to compel the ma- jority to make concessions to them.” erence erence The Allegéd Cruelties in Zululand

Major Robinson, who lately returned from South Africa, ‘writes to the ‘‘ Times ” denying that any unnecessary cruelty hes been used by the British forces towards the ;Zulus. He says the practice of burning kraals and destreying mealie pits is one of the painful necessities ef war, otherwise hostilities would be protracted to an indef- inite period; but on several occasions he has known one or two huts left standing anda pit unteuched because women and young children were found at the Kraal. Letters home from irresponsible young men, he says, should be taken em grano salis, for he remembers in 1878 receiving a letter from a clergyman in the north of England relative to a paragraph written by ® young man at the seat of war, in which he stated, ‘‘ I enjoy this campaign; shoot- ing down niggers 1s great fun, and beats rabbit shooting inte fits.” On inquiry Major Rebinson learnt that this youth was employed with the Cemmissariat at Ibeka and had hardly ever seen a shot fired.

a Liver is King.

The liver is the imperial organ of the whole human system, as it controls the life, health and happiness of man. When it is disturbed in its proper action, all kinds of ailments are the natural result. The di- gestion of food, the movements of the heart and blood, the action of the brain and ner- vous system, are all immediately connected with the workings of the liver. It has been successfully proved that Green’s August Flower is unequalled in curing all persons afflicted with dyspepsia or liver complaint, and all the numerous symptoms that result from an unhealthy condition of the liver and stomach.
