vice ; and her performances have shown that her officers have profited by the ex-| perience they have had.

Yet we cannot, with truth, say that the forwarding of the mails by her has given | satisfaction. Several times, nearly a week | of comparatively fine weather elapsed, and | no mails were sent or received ; and not / since the St. Lawrence and Princess of Wales stopped running, have we received mails oftener than ever other day. After the past experience of receiving mails daily (with few exesptions) by way of the Capes, this did not, of course, satisfy the people.

The Putriot attacks the Government be- cause the Northern Light was not placed at the Capes at the beginning of the season. It would have the Government desert the eastern end of the Island, take the steamer far away from railway depots, leave freight on both sides without any means of trans- porting it, make passengers travel some sixty or seventy miles in sleighs—subject to exposure to the weather and to largely in- creased cost—all that we might have a daily There is no need to re- It needs only to be senselessness.

where navigation is longest open, and where there exist the advantages of railways, then we say it is better to let the Northern Light ply where she is as long as she can, and only after that carry the mails by way of the Capes.

after Charlottetown harbor closes, we conic have our daily mail ‘*‘ right along.”

lf this plan were adopted, the receipts of the Government on account of the ser vice, would undoubtedly be larger than the, are now ; aud the expenditure wouid not, we think, be any larger, if as large. I: 1878, the imaintenance of the Northern Light cost $25,704, while the service at the Capes cost $3,518, or altogether ovei $28,000! The two services we have in- dicated coul|, we believe, be obtained foi much less than this amount per year : while satisfaction would be given to all concerned, and the terms of Confederation would, in tlis regard, as nearly as pos- sible, be carried out.

By a curious coincidence the following letter was sent into this office just as tlie above was gving to press :—

Mr. Evtror,—A great deal has appeared in var local press the past two years beth in fa- vor against the “* Northern Light,” and routes on which she should be plac+d, between Various pointy, have been suggested. Now, as itis impossible that she can ply between the numerous points proposed, it would seem that if the present route is maiitained for the ac :ommojatios of passengers and freight, and the Capes route for transportation of mails this would be in accordance with the term agreei upon when we entered Confederation, aud satisfy the requirements of every one w.. Is neta confirmed grumbler. Yours truly, Mrnesanr.

We take the liberty to append the fol- lowing letters on the Capes’ route. It will be observed that they are written by autho- rities on the subject; and that they em- phaticaily contradict the report, circulated here, that it as been impossible to cross
