Charlottetown, August 16, 1877,
THE SCOTTISH GATHERING,
le National Sports of ‘‘ Auld Scotia ” always attract a large number of persons. Yesterday the number in attendance was fully equal—if not in excess of any Scots ish Gathering before held in this Island, We learn that about five thousand tickets were sold—though it is not probable #hat so many persons were upon the grounds at any one time. Among those occupying seats upon the ‘‘Grand Stand” were Gen~ eral Batler and Judge Bond of the United States, His Honor the Lieutenant Gov< ernor, His Worship the Mayor, Hon. Joseph Pope and Hon, James Duncan, he grounds of the Ifon. James Pope, in which the games were held, are admirably adapted for the purpose ; and the sports were, when once commenced, spiritedly kept up. As usual, Colonel McGill was foremost in the conduct of the sport. Many of the competitors exhibited great strength and activity. The Prize List which, by courtesy of the {Secretary, will we think found correct, gives the names of those most worthy of mention.
When the sports were well nigh over, $ ie assemblage was addressed by General
Batler, to the following effect :-— MeN or Prince Epwarp Istanp:—Nine y sare ago | enjoyed the pleasure of visiting, for the first time, your beautiful and fertile Island; I hoped then that 1 would have been able to obtain reciprocity of trade and commerce between you and the people of the United States, and with it at renewal the good feeling which should exist between the two countries, As the representative in Congress of the great fishing metropolis of Gloucester, | was deeply mterested in the Island in which so many of my consti» tuents had received hospitality and kinds ness. They came to fish around yourshores, they visited you, and they always brought back a good report [and my friends came seeking to have the free intercourse which had before existed, renewed. Unfortuns ate events prevented that idea of recipro. city from taking effect. Bat the time has come now when the laboring*men of the great towns of our eastern coast must have reciprocity with you in certain articles, ‘Ve must have your potatoes, The potato in this Island attains greater perfection than anywhere else on this earth. The exigencies of our war made it necessary to place a heavy—almost a probibitorysduty of 15 cents a bushel upon this article of food, which has become to us an article of prime necessity. Speaking for myself, I may say that I hope the United States will take the first opportunity of removing the tiriff froma potatoes, You have another production in which you excel and from which we must strive to remove the duty— the article of oats. We must look to you for supplies of oats—which are better than we can obtain in our own country, and | think that sooner or later the high tarift placed upon this article will be done away. Now, I observe,that there are among you men sprung of various nation-~ alities. The thistle and the harp are re- presented here, the rose of old. England and a good little intermixture of Yankee. Let me give you a bit of adviee,’ ‘Let me say to you that you have common country, in Which the schoolhouse is oftener seen —in which there are more men who can read and write, than in any part of America, Cherish; your public schooler. Let education among you be free—free as the dew which falls trom heaven. Let no religious differences prevent you from sup» porting the public schools, The State knows no religion, and should not teach any. But it should compel every man to have his child educated, .Any many who cheats his children out of education, cheats the State, As one who appretiates the ditiiculties and troubles ane upon the free Government of the United States -and you have a free’ Government here too ~ | believe that the great trouble of the future will be want of education. With good education there will be good govern~ ment. ‘The General concluded his address by expressing the pleasure he had received from lis visit and from witnessing the manly sports of the day, and wishing all‘ fare- well,”? but not, he hoped, * forever.’’ /udge Bond then addressed the agsem- blage in a bumorous vein, He was followed Ly Hon. Frederiek Breehen, Senator ITow- lan “and Hon, A.’A: McDonald, Each speaker spoke stropgiy in Javorof Reci- procity, and each was loudly applauded. We regret that weare unable this morn- ing—on account ofthe absence of some of
our composilors—to give an outline of all
be
the addresses. When the sports were over, Mrs. Patrick Whiker distributed prizes :— PRIZE LISP. HEAVY STONE. Ist Prize, Malcolm McLeod, Valleyfield ; 1:29 feet 10 inehes:

THE REGISTRY OFFICE JOB.
To the Editor of the Examiner : Sir,—The last Argus contains an article
attempted reply to /my letter, As to who | am is, | think. a matter of indifference— what the public are most concerned with is, are the charges true? The Argus well says that they are ‘‘serious charges’’— they are indeed, and I maintain that they are unanswerable. Even admitting ‘thay the misstatements of the 4rgus are correct, afl the,.tf job’. remains indefensible— “outrageous,” as I before: declared it to be. 1, The statement of the Argus that “Mr. Campbell has finished two volume since the date of his appointment’’ is, 1 regret to state, not only untrue but, inasmuch as it has been made after its Editor went to the Registry Office to see how the facts are, is. a misstatement wilfully made, with the express object of misleading and de- ceiving. Not only has Mr. Campbell not “finished two volumes” but he as not even yet finished one of the volumes com. menced by McVarish. 2. The Argus says ‘*Mr. Campbell is really making out a new Index,’ Mr. Campbell is ** really’ doing nothing of the kind. What he is doing is ‘‘1e copying” them and that is all the law requires to be done. The 35 and 36 Vic., Chapter 9. Section 6, after stating (or ‘‘reciting.’’ as I believe the lawyers call it), that “ it has been the practice where several grantors or grantees are named, to insert the name of only one of such grantors or grantees, by reason whereof purchasers are apt to be misled.’’ It enacts that “ some fit and proper person shall make a fair copy of such Indexes,’ inserting the omitted names, The Editor of the Argus has most !u4ij- crously misapprehended the information
old way of making an index was to enter the name, and after giving dates merely to describe the property asa ‘ conveyance.’ ” If the Registrar, drawing upon the :re- sources of his vast legal’ knowledge, told this to the author of the article, he’ w most cruelly hoa xing him. How 4 “pro perty”” can be described as a “conveys lance’? passes my comprehension, Does

conveyance are correctly given. McVarish had this more difficult to perform; Camp- bell never had, except it may have been in an isolated case.
3, As to the statement ‘that he is con-~ stantly at his post of duty,’’ that algo is not jn accordance with the fact, although in the, jullgmeént of charity, 1 am willing to believe that this is not an intentional mis« statement but a repetition ‘of ‘an untruth told to the editor at the'late excitement at the Registry office. ARR A J I | have never heard that it is a characters istic of the editor of the Argus, to be
it, but itcan hardly be said—even the Aryus will not haye the hardihood to say—that while he was travelling through Belfast, at
the bidding of the Grit Faction, be was at

He was also absent. many days, during the time sacred to Urange Orgies. This is no less notorious, only it is somewhat more

be given leave of absence, that he may endeavor, and only to well succeed, in stirs
animosity, is, Ido not hésitate to declare, most discreditable,and my only doubt is, to
transaction belongs—the Government that permitted it or the subsidized hireiing who
tates to say, that it has been done to the ‘satisfaction of the public.”
Ido not desire to make my letter too long since | wish to avoid trespassing at}. too great length upon your columns, and with your permission I shall make some further statements as to this most outs
