Different Cases. “a Tue Patriot labors to convey the idea, that the three election cases of this Island are, iu principle, alike, aud proceed from | a desire to oust those who obtained the} majority of voles from their seats on | “legal technicalities and groundless charges.” This is wrong and untrue. Each of the cases res's upon a basis) entirely different jrom that of the other | two. Dr. Jeukins’ action was bared upon the | fact that the Deputy Returning Off ‘ers | in two divisions initialed the counter-foils | of the ballot papers instead of the | ballot papers proper, and upon the | fact that ia two or three divisions there |

an insufficiency of ballot papers, |

!

was He did not allege that Mr. Breckeu was} himself disquaiified by law, or that | Mr. Brecken was, directly or indirectly, | by himself or an agent, guilty of bribery | by treating or otherwise. But the action of the King’s County | Returning Officer in making bis “ double | return” was based upon the alleged fact that Dr. Robertson himself was at tLe} time of the election net qualified by law | to sit or vote in the House of Commons. | Suppuse an elector came forward to vote, | and it were shown that he had not paid | his tax or had in some other way tailed | to comply with the election law, and so was disqualified—he would certainly lose his vote; and though he might fairly} blame himself, he would have no right to say that the offical who rejected his vote tock an unfair advantage of a lega? techicality. So, should Dr. Robertson lose bis seat, he ought to blame himself and his advisers alone. He tried a trick | with the law. Being a member of the Local Legislature, and at the time with- out the power of resiguing, he set up to be a member of the Domizion Commons, in which as everyone knows, no member of the Local Legislature can sit or vote. Those who voted for him have .just as little right to complain; for they were} warned, from the platform and through Tue Examiner, that in voting for Dr. Robertson, they risked the loss of their votes. in the Muttart-McIntyre case, the latcer Doctor was charged with corrupt treating by his agent. Treating is, of all others, the meanest form of bribery. It isa direct appeal to one of the most depraved appetites of man’s lower nature ; and the candidate who, goes through the country payiog out his dollars or giving orders for barrels of ficur, is a Prince of Bribers in comparison with one whose agents travel round with ** black ducks” and whiskey bottles to steal away the brains of the electors. Parliament, in its wisdom, bas made this an offence ezainst the law, and forbidden it iu the strictest longuage. Parliament says— see Dominion Election Act, (sec. 94.)—

94. ‘Every candidate who corruptly, by himself or by cr with any person, or by any other ways or means on his behalf, at any time either before or during any election, direct/y or indirectly gives or provides, or causes to be given or provided, or is acces- sory to the giving or providing, or pays wholly or in part any expenses incurred for any meat, drink, refreshment or provision to or for any person, in order to be elected or for ‘being elected, or for the purpose of corruptly influencing such person or any other person to give or refrain from giving his vote at such election, shall be deemed grilty of the offence of treating.”

Parliament says further, (sec. 98) that,—

98. ** The offences of bribery, treating, or or undue influence, or any of such off-nces, as defined by thisor any other Act of the Parliament of Canada, personation or the inducing any person to commit personation, or any willtul offence against any one of the six next preceding sections of this Act shall be corrupt practices within the meaning of the provisions of this Act.”

And Parliament says further, (sec. 101) thaty—

101. ‘‘ If it is found by the report of any court, judge or other tribunal for tie trial of election petitions, that any corrupt prac- tice has been committed by any candidate at an election, or by his ageut, whether with or without the actual knowledge and consent of such candidate, the election of such can- didate, if he has been elected, shall be void.”

Now, the evidence iu the Muttart- MclIntyre case is probably not just what Dr. Muttart had been led to believe that it would be; and for the most part it was forced from the mouths of unwilling witnesses. But everyoue—well nearly | everyone—who has read the evidence, as | published, must see that the “ treating’’ which was proven, Was not at (hat par- ticular time, merely for * friendship sake ;”’ and with due deference for His Lordship the Chief Justice, we say that to state that inciscrimivate treativg is at all times the custom of the people, is to give utterance toa libel upon King’s County. Then, if it was not simply for ‘friendship sake” and if it was pot iu accord with the custom of the country, what was ittor? Surely for the purpose of furthering the election! People don’t go round with ‘black ducks” for nothing! Neither McLean nor Whelan are in the habit of doing so! But one was a warm supporter, and the other no less a person than a local member e'ect ‘and ‘the financial agent for Dr. McIntyre! More- over,the time they travellcd round canvass | Sing, iu company with the *blick ducks,” was the very day before the election ! ! |

ith these undeniable facts before them | he public must be irresistibly led to the conclusion that the purpose of Whelan aod the “Fivaucial Agent” was, with thu

‘clearly that there is no similarity be-

assistance of the liquor, to win votes for | Dr. Melutyre: and, if so, a corrupt act | was done. Then, b wean it be said that Dr. Muttart wishes to take advan- |

We thiok we have shown pretly |

tween the cases; and that neither Mr. MeDouald nor Dr. Muttart should share —as the Patriot would have them—in the condemnation of Dr. Jenkins.

The Situation in New Brunswick.

By the defection of two supporters, the | Government of New Brunswick have been placed in the minority; and have advised a dissolution, No question of blie poliey caused their defeat, and there seems to be ground for the sus- picion that there bas been foul play. The Fredericton correspondent of the St.

ohu Sun writes :—

‘* There is a growing feeling here that the vote was a snap judgment, pure and simple, It was not a vote on the policy of the Government, and it was in direct opposition to the voice of the people, who had sis- tained the Administration in every by- election by large majorities. The very men who defeated the Government by deserting it at the Jast hour were elected to support it, Turner and McManus above all others, and they gave no reasons for their votes thongh chalienged to shon why they refused to carry out the wishes of McManus, in the last election, stated most emphatical'y at Grane | Anee that he would have nothing to do with a candidate who weuld not support the | Government. The very fact that in th election of Speaker the Government had the majority of the House shows that some | occult influences must have been at work within the past two or three days to effect such a sweeping revolution. I1t is in the light of all this that dispassionate me are asking: Why condemn a Government un- heard! The very andacity of the course pursued to-day by the Opposition is already bearing for them bitter fruit, and the end js uot yet.”

_-o---

The Moncton Times says that—**The Legislative Council is a legacy from the long ago, a relic of the past, the em- bodiment of obsolete ideas of govern- ment, and if the people were framing a system of Government to-day they would uo more dream of establishing such a body than of re-enacting the penal laws against Catholics.”

At the meeting held in Southport School- house, on Wednesday evening, it was resolved that better means of ferrisge should be provided; that the Seuthport Wharf should be extended to the Channel; and that means should be provided for night ferriage. A committee, consisting of Messrs. H. Burke and John Anderson, were appointed to draw up petitions and have them signed and presented,to the Gov- ernment. It was also desired chat meet- ings be called in every district interested, and that delegates be appointed to co-oper ate with the committee.

DOMINION PARLIAMENT

NOTES OF THE SESSION.

A correspondent at Ottawa, writing on

the 24th, ult., says:

“Last evening there was another dis- cussion of Island matters in the Commons. Jenkins moved for a committee to enquire | into the subjcet of winter crossing, and made a neat speech in support of the motion. Davies opposed it, and made a remark of Jenkins relative to the imerease of our interprovineial trade a text for denouncing the National Policy. He drew a most gloowy view of the state of business in P. E Island. He declared the Island to be in astate of “ruin,” our people leaving because they could find nothing to do, aud all owing to the National Policy. Phe | speech has not added to the reputation of | Mr. Davies here.

The general feeling is that he is given to extravagant assertions. onal reference which he made to Mr.

A pers Ottawa

Hackett taking up his residence in for the winter is strongly condemned,

Mr. Hackett rephed, and for the second time came off victorious. He is a vigorous and effectual debater, always ready with facis and figures to sustain his views it would be a great logs to the Island and the Conservative party if Mr. Hackett should retire from the representation of Prince

founty. Dr. Saipkibiss stung by a remark of Mr. Davies about his (Jenkins) weakness Jor vetting committees struck on every possible subjcer, spc ke a second time and attributed some of Mr. Davies’ statements to his “well known moral obliquity,” when he was called to order by the Speaker and required to withdraw the offensive expression, which he did.

Sir Charles Tupper wound up the dis- cussion by explaining the action of the Government in regard to Communication. He assured the House (as he had already assured our delegation) that. the Govern- ment would use their utwost efforts to carry out as far as possible their engage- ment with P. E. Isiand.

A BRITISH COLUMBIA MATTER.

A British Columbia matter relating to

emmigratiud came next. Homer _and Shakespeare, from that Province, spoke on the question, as also did

Prof. Foster, of King’s County, = The latter made a capital speech. His language is almost as chaste as that of the yreat essayist whose name he bears, lf he possesses force uf character and other quati- ties in the same degree as he does eloquence, he will take a frout rank in the Honse.

There is not much doing in the House. | think at least two-thirds of the Ontario members are away at the elections.

RAILWAYS AND CANALS.

The gross earnings of the Intercolonial during the past year are in excess of those of the previous year by $318,850.

The gross eainivgs of the P. E. J. Rail- wao show an increase over those of last year of $6,136.

The total amount expended on account of railweys during the past year was $9,067,- 154.

Experses on account ,of Canals pvere $2,077,676, making a total expenditute on railways and canals of $11,145,830,

THE SHIPS AND FISHERIES OF THE DOMINION,

The report of the Minister of Marine and Fisheries bas been received, It shows the total number of vessels remaining on the registry books of the Dominivn on the 3lst Dec., 1882, including old and new vessels, sailing vessels, steamers and barges, was 7,312, measuring 1 260,777 tons register tonnage, being an increase of 82 vessels and a decrease in tonnage of 50,119 tons regis- ter, as compared with 1881. The number of steamers on the registry books on the same date was 973, of a gross tonnage of 190,902 tons. Assuming the average value to be $30 per ton, the value of the regis-

tered tonnage of Canada on the 3lst December last would be $37,823,310, “Lhe

number of new vessels built and registered in the Dominion was 288, measuring 63,000 tons. THE ‘‘ NORTHERN LIGHT.” The ‘‘ Northern Light,” last year made sixty-one round trijs. Total cost, $23,- 911.97; gross earnings, $8,276.27.

SICK SEAMEN,

The expenditure in this Province on ac count of sick seamen, was, last year, $1,977.58. Receipts from sick mariners’ dues, $591.08.

TELEGRAPHIC —IMPORTANT !

The St. John Sun’s Ottawa correspondent writes: From the complete success of the trial of the new system of telegraphing made by W. H. Pruce, electrician of the London, England, post « filce, it is evident that Prince Edward Is'and need no longer remain under the incubus of the Anglo- American Cable Compavy’s monopoly in perpetuity of submarine cable connection between that island and the mainiand. Mr. Gisboone is already in communication with the press upon the subject and our Island friends will, it is expected, soon be notified of a redction of at least 100 per cent. in the tariff rates for messages en- forced by the Anglo-American Company.”

PORT WARDENS REPORT,

The Port Warden of Charlottetown reports a considerable falling off in the shipment of grain to Europe, and that only one casualty happened to grain laden vessels, viz: that of the Lizzie Cameron which collided with an iceberg.

TONNAGE, The tonnage registered in Canada amounts to 1,260,777 tons, of which 48,684 tons are registered at Char!ottetown. Tonnage registered in Canada last year was 60,113 tons, of which 3,508 tons were registered in Charlottetown.

PR: TECTION AND CULTURE OF THE FISHERIES,

For the protection and culture of the Canadian Fisheries there were expended last year $119 666.11.

EGGS AND SMALS, FRY. 58,162,000 fish egys, and 65,779,000 fish fry wers distributed in Canada last year.

The affection and respect with which England's great Premier is regarded among his Mid-Lothian constituents is pictures- quely shown by the following conversation, which tock place during the notable caw- paign of 1880 between a Dalkeith minister ania workingman. Said the latter: ‘ Do you see that hand?’ ‘* Yes; it seems to be a hard-working hand.” *‘ Aye, but that’s no | mean. ‘‘ Do you see that hand?’ Yes.” © That hand shook Mr. Glad- stun’s hand the day!’ ‘*‘Yes?’ ‘ Aye, that shook Mr. Gladstene’s hand the day ¢ and what’s mair,that hynd shook Mrs.Gla e stone’s hand the day; aye, what's mair, that hand shook Miss Gladstone’s hand the day!” Then, locking at the brawny mem- ber with undisguised admiration : ‘* Noo, d’ye think I should wash it?’

The London “Standard” says that at the Dewsberry (West Riding) police court a married woman namwed Emma Bruce, mid- die-aged, living at Heckmondwike, and a member of the Salvation Army, was charged on her own confeasion, with having mur- dered a woman on May 12¢h, 1871, in High street, Glasgow. She says that on that day three «ther women and herself were in a public house, when a gentleman came in and asked her if she was a good nand at ‘lifting.’ She said ‘‘yes,” an | afterwards robbed him of fifty shillings and his watch, A quarrel ensued for the possession of the watch, and one of the woman made a grap at it, and prisoner struck her with a brick, killing her. She made her escape, and at Nowceastie heard an account of the inquest and said the jurv returned a verdict of wilful murder. Although cautioned, pri- soner said ; ‘*[ have delivered myself up. { have been a big sinner, and all that I have confessed I have done, both before God aud man.
