he most beautiful style of Photograph kuown, possessing a sofiness aud delicacy of coloring that has never been equailed. This elegant picture has become deservediy popu ar elsewhere, and cannot fail to be- come so here.

Though the finish of our Photographs cannot be excelled, we would direct atten- tion to the beautiful

qilaee’ Pictures

which we make. They possess a highly epamelled surface, and are practically indes- tructible, and will retain their freshness and beauty fer any length of time. If they become soiled they can easily be cleaned, is they will not lose any of their beauty by being wet. This valuadle quality, com- bined with their remarkable elegance, make them very suitable for presents; while the difficulty of their production will prevent them ever becoming so common as to lessen their value. Our patrons can have one or all of their Photos finished in this style—an advantage which cannot be obtain d elsewhere. We give special attention to making Groups of Fam lies, Societies, Schools, &c Our pictures of children are sufficient evidence cf our suecess in this difficult anch of our art. mee * NLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Pastel, Creyon, Oil aud Water Colors, have made a tavorable reputation for them selves throughout the Lower Provinces. Parties intending to have Photographs made will find it to their advantage to sit early, a8 the number of our Cu ‘tomers makes some delay iu the delivery of the Photos unavoidable. We prefer to have our sitters come by appointment, Photographs can be oObiained for less mouey elsewhere : bul in this ae we ask that quality be given the preference; as- aie tne penne that they will fiad our charges very moderate.

OTrawa, Feb, 21, 1878. WINTER COMMUNICATION.

We have had two debates upon the subject of Winter Communications between Prince Edward Island and the mainland. Singularly enough the policy pursued by the Government was, in both Houses, first attacked by support- ers of the Government. In their eagerness to show that the McKenzie Administration had blundered, they could notseven wait until the subject was introduced by members of the Op- position, We have heard a great deal about the loss of our representative in the Cabinet. Bat‘the great wrong which Mr. McKenzie perpetrated in this regard, seems to have been attended with one palliating circumstance. Lt seems to have had the effect of opening the mouths of Island representatives who formerly sat dum) in their seats and assisted the Govern ment by their votea to commit every blunder and every enormity. Certainly it is some what remarkable that men who,for four years, were silent within the precincts of the Hovse of Commons are now voluble and even pugnacions. Mr. Perry made the fact that the isiand was unrepresented inm- the Cabinet, his excuse fordaring to trouble the House with island grievances: and when the Government make their supporters feel the weight of their displeasure--as they doubtleas will—Senator Haythorne ani Mr, Sinclair wil, probably, aso be ready to cry out ‘* You deprived us of our representative in the Cabinet, and we had to speak out in Parliament.” I am, however,

inclined to the opinion that it is not to her de-

privation of representation in the Cabinet that Prince Mdward {sland owes the pleasing cir- cumstances that the dumb now speak. I tancy it is due to Opposition in the House; and to the emulation in good words, which Opposi- tion creates. If this theory be the eorreci one, the people—notof Queen’s County only—but of the whole Island, have reason to be thankful for the election of Mr. Pope. I may, how- ever, be wrong. Perhaps the change is due only to the fact that an election campaign has commenced in Parliament.

But, whatever the cause, it was quite re freshing to hear Messra. Perry and Sinclair de- claim upon the ‘‘mistaken policy of the Govern- ment.”’ Trac, they said they ‘‘did not attach a great deal of Llume to theadministration;’ but in Parliament, such language is always under- stood to add force tothe weight. I have al ready prin a ga the gist of the debate ia the Commons and sent you a full report of the dis- cussion in the Senate. Therefore it is not now necessary to enlarge upon the subject. The remarks of Dr. Tupper showed that he has an intelligent interest in the Island Prov- vine. Dr. Tupper’s sympathies extend to every part of the Dominion, He takes as m"ch care to know the wants and interests cf Br.tish Columbia and Prince Edward Island as he does to become acquainted with those of the great Provinces of Ontario or Quebee ; and he labors as hard to forward the growth of Winaitpeg as to secure the prosperity of Mont- real. No part of the Dominion seems to be small or insignificant in his eyes. In the breadth of his views he is, I think, only evualled by Sir John McDonald. So far, how- ever, the leaders of the Government Party have, this session, been obliged to appagr somewhat nairow-minded. The grievances of the various sections of the Dominion are so numerons that, in defending themselves, members of the Cabi- net have been compelled to seem opposed to the interests of outlying Provinces. Decosmos’s remarks that McKenzie and his colleagues seem to have forgotten the fact that the Do- minion contained Maritime Province, and is nos confined within the bounds of ‘* Old Cana- da,” was perfectly correct.

The attention with which Mr. Masson lis- tened to the discussion of our Island affairs did not escape my observation. Though he took no active part in it, yet his desire to be- come acquainted with the facts of our com- plaint was evident. Mr. Masson is one of the best listeners in the House; and when he speaks, he invariably commands its attention. He is a rising Canadian Statesman; and I have not the slightest doubt that, if bis life be spared, he is destined to play a great leading part upon the political stage of the Dominion.

Mr. Pope’s speech upon the subject of win- ter communication was, of course, the most practical; and, therefore, the best. He went thoroughly into tae whole question. He pointed out the faults and weakness of the Northern Light, and the difficulties to be over- come before success in the winter navigation of the Straits is attained. He showed how our representatives were blameable for accept- ing the Northern Light, and he sharply cen- sured the Government for their delay, bungl- ing and neglect in carrying out the terms of union.

The Minister of Marine and Fisheries, in re- ply, offered some excuses, which were quite inaudible in the ROT PRACT:

When the papers demanded come down to the House, there will be interesting facts in connection with our winter communications, of which I shall not fail to apprise the readers of THe EXAMINER. W. LC. ———-> @: <a +e o--_--

The Guardian states that an officer of the Horse Guards arrived at Bristol yesterday, ac- companied by the veterinary surgeon, to pur- chase five thousand horses for the war ofiice. The officer states this is part of the purchase of 21,000 horses. The Government has pur- chased another ison-clad built for Turkey, mounting 10 twelve ton guns.

The estimated expenditure of the Dominiou in 1878-79 is $39,334,382.45. Last year the amount was $34,499,567.96. For the redemp- tion of the debt the sum required in 1578-79 will be $7,588,431, against $5,382,739 in the current year. On public works chargeable to capital it is proposed to expend $3,305,990,

Correspondence.

A Great Discovery.

To the Editor of the Examiner:

Dear Sir,—In my last letter I hinted that the Historical Society intended publishing the biography of old Waeatley, that was found in the tin box. When the Society was first or ganized, the discussion of political or religious subjects was rigidly excluded. But alas! one of the members who is a vile Tory introduced these subjects, and now all is discord, where peace and harmony reigned. I will give you a brief account of iow this great evil came about, Besides the biegraphy of Wheatley found in the box, there wes also a treatise by bim on Free Trade versus Proteetion, which we considered put the matter in a clearer light than it had ever been put before. A large ma- jority of the members wished to have so valu- able a work sent to the Grit Press for publiea- tion. Indeed, it was argued by some that the finding of it at the present crisis im political affairs was providential. Here waa a disserta- tion on Free Trade, after being buried 100 years in the earth, and guarded by the imps of darkness, found and discovered in a miracal- ous manner! The essay made it as clear as mudi to anyous bunt the> most obtuse Lory, that the Government who raises a revenue by a 174 per cent. tariff is decidedly more in favor of. Free ‘Trade than the would raise the same amount of revenue with a 16 per cent. tariff. Of course tae Tory obstruction- ists opposed the publication of such enlight- ened views on Political Economy. But lam happy to state that the majority of our Society is composed of good, sound Reformers—gernuine 6 Standard,” and we carried our point by a large majority. ‘Phe conse. quence of this action is that old Wheatley’s arguinents can now be read in every part of this vast Dominion. Copies of this wonderful work have been sent to every Reform news- paper in the Dominion, from tae Toronto Globe aown to Rotchford ’s Daily, with instructions to give the people the benefit of Wheatley’s theories regardless of expense. The few Tories, or, a8 they cali themselves, Liberal Conserva- tives, that are left in this section of the coun try are completely crest-falleu, and they. ac- knowledge that Adam Smith who was taken as an authority on matters of Trade for so many years, is knocked into a cocked-hat. In- deed, so hopeless is their cause, that they talk of leaving this country and going to some far- away land, where newspapers do not exist and where cabalistie stones are not to be found. But, enough, Mr. Editor, let us be magnani- mous with our foes fallen and Sepraddlies they are. Let us exercise christian charit towards them and use our great victory wit moderation. I must confess that my own feel- ing of exultation over a fallen enemy has led me to write more on this subject than I in- tended. My object when I commenced this letter was to give such incidents from Wheat- ley’s Biography as might be interesting to your readers. The Historical Society appointed three sound Grits—Messrs. J. Delaney, J. Wat- kins and Pidgeon—a committee to prepare such portions of Wheatley’s Biography as would be fit for publication for the press. They have faithfully performed the duty assigned them, and they received the thanka of the Society for the creditable manner in which they pec formed it. It would make this letter too lorg if I attempted to give any part of the old man’s wonderful story, but in my next I will com- mence the thrilling narrative of Wheatley’s life and times.

To the Editor of the Examiner :

Dear Sm,—Your humble servant was v much amused in reading over the editor's ar- ticle in the Argus, where he is most elaborately describing the genius, skill, sauvity, wit and profound . eloquence of our young Attorney General. He describes him as a perfect Cicero or Blake, that has so contrived matters as to convict the traversers one by one. Oh, shame on sueh barefaced sycophancy as this! Has the editor of the Argus became subject to the same spell as that which has come over some of the new Government members, that they will actually injure their own cause, and make their own statements a ridicule against their friends, owing to the blind zeal of party and gold-dust in hardtimes. Who that isacquaint- ed with the editor of the Argus would ever im- agine that the God Mammon and the paltry ten or a dozen thousands of dollars, he may get yearly as Queen’s Printer, would have so

far obscured his vision as to cast a spell over him; and in his eagerness to show up his great

patron saint from whom he receives his pap, he has so far forgot himself, as in place of show- ing his great mind and power in advocacy, and in pleading, he direetly charges him with win- ning thoses cases. Now, Mr. Editor, what would you infer from his language, but that in spite of evidence,Judge and Jury,the Attorney General won the case. Now the question comes here did he win? I will leave this ques- tion for the public and Mr. Argus to reconsile, Is it any wonder that strangers charged Mr. Attorney-General with many$ and grievous things against the people ; that he and his ac- complices in the Government have been a true Rehoboam, and that for extravagence, stupidity and misrule, now has equalled them. ‘This is said by some; but after all, is it as bad as what jhe Argus charges against the Attorney Gen- eral, by no meaus ; and since this young man Davies is Premier, Attorney General, and Law adviser extraordinary, to the Dominion Gov- ernment, we, as the citizens of Charlottetown, don’t thank Mr. Argus for making such silly and puerile charges against the leader of the Government. strangers be about this man, when they read in the Argus that the Attorney General has ac- tually, withaut malice aforethought, brought in those young traversers gnilsy, in spite of evidence, Judge and Jury, certainly you would infer this from the article ; but, then, poor fel- low, he was out throwing random shots, and perhaps his head has been affected in the effort, I am, Sir, yours, A FRIEND or tue Hovse or Davres,
