INTERESTED SpectaTors.— We imagined that the settlement of our School Question was & matter of purely local importance. It appears, however, that there are, at least, some interested spectators of the fight in oursister Provinces. A subscriber writes :

“T feel interested in the prosperity of the Island. I ama public school teacher in this vicinity at present, and have been such in Ontario for the last 25 years. | have in contemplation, removal to P. E. Island as soon as | learn of beneficial school legislation having been established.’’

We earnestly hope that ‘‘ beneficial legis- lation,” based on Mr. Pope’s scheme, or Dr. Murray’s scheme, or the Scotch system, or even upon the plan adopted by Mr. Lair and his colleagues for the Northwest Terri- tory, may speedily be authorized by a ma- jority of the peeple, so that good teacher may be induced to take up their residence among us,

Isaac Murray declared that purely secular schools were calculated to produce ‘edu: cated villains,’ and are acurse toa country.” This statement you say I made before the ‘*Committee.’’ You have published my statement before the ‘‘Committee” and though it contains no such averment, you still repeat that I said so before the “Com- mittee.”

I now ask why you charge me as you do? Until you saw my evidence you might have been quite innocent in giving a false report place in your columns. We cannot hold you guiltless hereafter. Though I am not called upon to repeat what I said before the Committee, and would be justi- fied in charging the Examiner with slander- ing me because of the representation it gives of my evidence in reference to secus lar schools, I may here state, for its satis» faction, what | did say on this subject :—

Being asked my opinion upon mere secu- lar schools, I stated that they did not go far enough—that mere intellectual training could not rise higher than to appeal to one’s interests—that the motive power to moral action in education of this character would be only such a one as is contained in the proverb that “honesty is the best of policy.”” But I stated that the civil power demands something higher than this, as is seenin the fact that it discountenances and cannot tolerate slavery—that it punish~ es for cruelty to animals—that in these cases, and in similar ones, it insists upon right action because it is right action, and not merely because it is profitable or un- profitable. Here it is clear that the State enters the sphere of morals—a sphere from which, I presume, the Examiner will not exclude it. Now, I hold that ifthe State has the right to legislate on such subjects it ought to teach morals,it ought to furnish, if it can be done, an infallible standard of morals to its schools. This can be done by means of the Bible.

I presume my remarks on this subject have given rise to the misrepresentation to which the Examrer has given curreney. I only ask that it will not repeat its misre- presentation of me.

Yeu seem, Mr. Editor, to speak in your last number, of the distinction between sectarian schools and religion in schools as a “nice distinction ” and as “ puzzling.” [ wonder at you for saying so Is there not a religion which is unsectarian ? Is not God’s Word, as God’s Word, unsectarian ? Man’s views of God’s Word, may be, and often are sectarian, but God’s Word, us such, cannot be sectarian. What is man’s is sectarian: what is God's is not sectarian. The Bible, therefore, as such cannot be sectarian: But you may remind me that the translations thereof may be. This I admit. But I meet the difficulty by insisting on the fact that there are many passages in the Douay and in the authorized version alike. Let these passages be put together for the use of Government schools, and you will have as a result an wnsectarian standard, and a religious standard of morals, for the youth who attend these institutions.

Then, these schools could not be desigs nated as “ godless.”” The religion, too, thus taught would surely be as good as what is taught in catechisms. Is not God’s Word word as good as a catechism? Is not the unsectartan religion of the Bible as good as the sectarian religion of the catechism? Which is most conducive to the weal of the State? This is really the question, the only question for the State to consider, The Bible teaches the duty of rulers to their subjects ; of subjects to their rulers, and of citizens one to another. Can this much be said of catechism of the sectarian type ? Have we passages in them like those found in Rom. 13th chap. 1-7. 1 Pet. 2: 13, 14, 16. Mat. 5: 41. The State can live and prosper without the dogmas of catechisms. Can it do so without practising the virtues Christ inculcated, and abstaining from the self-seeking, covetousness,class distinctions, envy, malice, undue and ignoble ambition He condemned? Surely the self-restraint, repression of the lower and meaner pas- sions, love to one’s neighbor, contentment, gentleness, regard for the rights and happi- ness of others,and respect for the law which Christ enjoined and practised lie at the found ation of the States’ prosperity. The vices He condemned are destructive to the State; the principles He inculeated are the best test of a successful public policy. Here is religion enforcing State action. Is there anything sectarian about it? Oris there anything comparable to it in Catechisms? Why should the State be, then, pestered with sectarian teaching which will do it no good, and be asked to thrust aside unsec- tarianism without which it cannot live? That the support of sectarian religion by the State is ulira vires is plain: “ The State cannot give support to the Church by giving material support or aid to any one or all of its branches. Not to any, because all others would be justly aggrieved by being forced to pay taxes to support forms of worship, or doctrine differing from that they feel bound to support as scriptural and right;

not to all, as this would compel all un-« believers to contribute to the support ef what they do not believe in.” And there the indiscriminate governmental support of all churches of every sect, would encourage the indefinite multiplication of small sec- tarian churches at the public expense, which without such a stimulus already goes enormous and deplorable lengths, The tax thus arising would soon become insupport- able. {saac Murray, Cavendish, June 1, 1876.

OUR WASHINGTON LETIER.

THE BELKNAP CASE—CABINET CHANGES—tnHr | SITUATION IN EUROPE—UNITED STATES POLITICS,

Wasmineton, D. C., June 2, 1876.

Some of the Senators think the Belknap trial will occupy two months of the time | of that body, and determined efforts will be made to have it put off until fall, when an | extra session of the Senate, sitting as a | council, can be convened to try the case, | Whether this will be done or nut, is uncer- tain. For my part, a careful review of the situation convinces me that it is unnecess ; Sary, and I have my doukts whether the | House wants to adjourn as badly as some of its members make out. By staying in sess sion, it can act as a check on the adminis« tration during the election, and prevent anything like an attempt, or what it would call an attempt, to interfere with the free- dom of elections in the South. Nor do I believe that Congress can adjourn, even if the trial is postponed, until the last of July. The case stands thus ; The only appropri- ation bills passed, are the small deficiency and the pension bills, all the others passed by the house, hang fire in the Senate, and several of the large bills have not even pass~ ed the house. If the two bodies were agreed as to a general policy on appropri- ations, it would be actually impossible to pass the bills before the first of July; but, differing as they do, widely as to the correct policy—representing diflerent ideas, and entertaining different as to the power of the two houses, on the subject of appropriations—there is no pros« pect of their arriving at a compromise, uns til forced to do so to provide means for the actual daily necessities of the public service For these reasons, | do not think there will be an adjournment soon, and the Senators may as well spend their time in disposing of the Belknap matter, as in any other way. Besides, political reasons require that the Senate shall get this case from before the public before the campaign, and I find there reasons stronger incentive to act now, than any others that can be advanced.

The testimony in the Kerr case has not yet been concluded. There isa strong de» sire felt by both Republicans and Demo~ crats that Mr Kerr may establish, without doubt, his innocence of the charge. The Republicans have a selfish reason to assist them in desiring this consummation. They say that if this falls to the ground, that it will show to the country, that all the chargs es made against prominent Republicans are equally unjust, and should not be con. sidered. Unfavorable corament is made upon the action of the country, in se promptly allowing Mr. Kerra public oppor- tunity to offer his defence, when the same privilege has been so far denied to Secre- tary Robeson and other prominent Repubs licans. I have, from the first, denounced these star chamber inquisitions with men’s character, and have hoped that the Demo- crats would have the sense to see that their action was injuring them, and would create sympathy for men who might be guilty. The American people love a share of fair~play, and will always take the side of a man to whom it is seemingly refused, and they cannot see any good reason why the investigations carried on by the House should be secret. The reason given in the House, was too puerile to deceive eyen a ten year old boy. Besides, the American people are intelligent, and they say, these men are our servants being examined by another body of our servants. We are the judges who must determine as to their guilt or innocence, and we should know the tess timony that we may judge fairly. The changes in the Cabinet were consummated yesterday. Judge Taft took possession of the Attorney Generals office, and Mr. Dons ald J.Cameron of the war office,while Judge Pierrepont, is preparing to leave for Enge land.

The situation in Europe is alarming, and if I were the owner of wheat, or in fact, of anything that wi!'l be needed to feed or supply great armies, I should hold on to it, for the changes are good for a general Euro~ pean war, in which event, all of our products of every kind will increase both in price and demand, and there will be an abund-~ ance of money in the country seeking ins vestments, as well as that sent here to pur- chase supplies. The capitalists of Europe already show an uneasy feeling, and Gov- ernment securities of all kinds have fallen in price with a slack demand; United States bonds and good railroad paper hav- ing been in demand at advanced figures. It is impossible yet, to tell the affect of the dethroning of the Sultan Abdul Azor, and putting Murad in his place, Abdul was the first man among the Turkish sovereigns who attempted changes in his army and court, that made them conform more to the christian standard, and he was unpopular with the fanatical Turks. Murad is said to conform more the old ideas, and he is in- debted to the Softas, the most fanatical of the Turks, for his elevation to the throne. He may believe and attempt to carry out the ideas of these fanatics, and shouting ‘allah il allah,’ unfurl the standard of the prophet and fight with desperation for his Empire and religion—who knows.

THE NAUFRAGE PRIEST-POND ROAD.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

In your issue of the 29th ult., appears a communication over the signature of “Bruin,” which takes exception to the views set forth by me in my last letter. Poor Bruin has assumed the advocacy of a bad cause, Reason and common sense cannot be enlisted in his behalf ; and cons sequently he has recourse to uncalled for personalities, and studied misrepresenta- tions, heping thereby, to tarnish the repu-» tation and deminish the influence of a large number of respectable and independent members of the community, and at the same time, to warp the judgement of those whose decision in this vexed question is looked to as impartial, just and final. The question at issue relates to the opening of a new road, and not toan opproaching elec. tion.

With regard to this new road, it is neces- sary to remark that two separate interests are involved—those of a personal nature, which concern more immediately the house~ holders on this road, and those of a general nature, which intimately concern the whole congregation of St. Margaret’s Church, in- asmuch as any deviation from the present shore road, places the Chapel at a disad- vantage. The former interests are not settled by those who have the loudest yoices. Good government invariably cons sults the well understood wishes of the majority of the people ; and in this case I incline to the opinion that between Nau- frage Bridge and Black Bush Cross Road, fully as much wealth and fully as many residents are as desirous of seeing their rights protected by the preservation of the old road, as are arrayed on the opposite side- It has been cunningly observed that one man can only reach the old road through his farm at a cost of $300, and another family at a cost of $400. But why did he not remark how much it would cost Mr. Lauchlin McPhee to reach the new road?

Will it cost him anything short of $300? | Will $400 enable Mr. Joseph Giilis and son | to arrive at their Why did he | not tell us how Mr. Merman McDonald can | arrive at his western farm when the old | road is closed? Why did he not take into | consideration the various expenses necess | sarily entailed on all th» householders los | cated or tho old read, to arrive satisfactorily |}at the new one? Why did henot estimate, if he viewed the matter from any impartial standpoint, what amount of compensation will be demanded for the damages arising from the oblique direction the road would take through the farms lying between Bear River and Nauirage Bridge ? But this would prove the deathblow to his already weak cause, and those facts were more comfort- ably glided over. And here let me ask, why did those who—to arrive at the old road—require to expend such a large amount, locate themselves at such a dis- tance therefrom, and, that at a time when not eyen an idea of a new one had entered the mind of any one? If they deliberately renounced the advantages of the road, it is manifestly unjust to seek now to bring it to their own doors, to the detriment of others. They should still enjoy the frrits of their own wisdom. So much on the merits of the case, as far as individual interests are concerned, But there are other interests of a graver nature and of greater import- ance at stake — those of St. Margaret’s Church, which are, by every right, entitled to precedence. The Government favors the non-sectarian system in the schools ; but it is still Christian, and seeks not to eliminate religion from a whole community which is attempted, to a greater or less ex. tent, in removing the road half a mile from the church. Of course, a right of way can be procured, and maybe, even public mon- eys could be secured to keep it in repair in summer; but in winter, how is the church to be reached, when snowsbanks will inter< cept, or at least, render very difficult all approach thereto? Not only will this in- convenience be felt by ourselves when we may have business there, but more particu- larly, by the resident pastor, who will be virtually isolated from the outer world af. ter every storm, As this view of the mit. ter is endorsed by all the parishioners, and conceded even by those who are most clamorous for the new road for personal reasons, I hold that private interests should cede to the general good.

To show that I advocate the views of the general public, I have only to mention that a numerously signed petition,praying forthe continuance of the old road,.way, was recent- ly sent to town. In the letter I am review- ing, it is alleged that his petition was sign~ ed by uninterested parties, and even by persons from Cape Breton, which is con- temptiously styled the w/tima thule of eivilizs ation, as if it were impossible to find intel-~ lects there of as high an order as poor Bruin seems to possess, This much | think I can safely assert, that no one signed that pe. tition who was not interested some way in the matter. Since the Priest is liable to be called on at any time and at any season, it is necessary that his residence be of easy access, and consequently, owing to the twos fold nature of the interests involved, all the names attached to that petition have a pers fect right to be there.

I think I have said enough to show my position to be tenable, and to keep Bruin sucking his paw for a while.

CELT, Rear River, June 5, 1876,

The government, says the West Durham News, have decided to abandon their quix~ otic notions about building the Pacific rail- way as a Government work, and also those “ Magnificent water stretches.’’ The road is to be an all rail route, and tenders to be advertised for, Open till next January, for the forming of companies for constructing the road. A bonus of $10,000 per mile is to be given, which will amount to just about $30,000,000 for the whole road, and a liberal land grant is also to be made.

After two years of shilly~shallying about a policy for the construction of the road, and any amount of earnest condemnation of Sir John Macdonald’s policy, the Governs ment has been compelled to abopt just what Sir John proposed !

Good Work Triumphant!

\’OTWITUSTANDING ihe Dull Times,

the demand for my make of Carriages, Sleighs, Threshing Machines, Fanners, «c., in King’s County, has rendered it necessary, in order to supply the rapidly increasing demand, that | should extend my business into that County. I have, therefore, at the request of a large number of my friends and patrons, opened a BRANCH FACTORY AT CARDIGAN BRIDGE, which is conducted by a competent mechanic, who served his time in the ‘‘ Nonpareil,” and has since worked for several years in the United States—a mechanic who knows his business, and has such an interest in the work as to allow nothing but a faithful job to pass. He and several competent workmen will attend to the wants of the public in that County.

The stock used in the construction of the work will be of the best imported, viz :— American Hickory, Oak, Ash, Elm, Bass, Whitewood, etc., etc. The iron will be of the best English refined; and Norway and Swedish iron will be used for the parts re quiring extra strength and durability.

Also, in connection with the said branch is a PAINTSHOP, which is conducted by a first-class carriage-painter, who will attend to the painting of new and second-hand work for the public.

N. B.—Persons wishing work done in the Carriage, Sleigh, or Farming Implement line, will please call.and they will be treated courteously and fairly deait with. All kinds of REPAIRING, including Mowing Machines, done. Prices Moderate; Terms Easy.
