mai a

about the 11th of May, but if it did not rise in that time he would net think it par- ticularly strange. At this time of the year, or in the fall, he would expect a body to rise in seven or nine days; if it did not rise in thirteen days, he would conclude that there was sumething keeping it down. The witness further explained that if any blood flowed from rupture of blood vessels in brain, it would be from the nose. Yet, the cessation of respiration and other agencies would tend to prevent the flow of blood at

all.

To a Juror—A body falling thirty feet and striking merely on the water would not necessarily exhibit marks of bodily harm.

To His Honor—McCarthy’s eyes were open when he saw the body : when a body is found shortly after drowning the eyes will be partly open, so that the eye-balls can be seen ; in case of death by violence, the eyes are generally closed. There are some exceptions to this rule in strangula-

tion.

Dr. Scott, of Moncton, was sworn next. He referred to his neing called to Shediac to make an examination of the boards in the floor and counter of the Waverly House, which he considered suspicious of blood-stains. (The boards produced and identified as the ones taken by _ his direc- tien from the said house, being the ones on which he considered the only suspicion rested.) He said with the naked eye the presence of blood was evident, but on ap- plying the two tests already mentioned he could not find positive proof of the pres- ence of blood ; yet a change had taken place in those boards since they were taken from Osborne’s house, and up to this examina- tion of them since this Court began. The appearance of them at that time were a cer- tain number of spots projected on the counter upward, pear-shaped stains. (It will be remembered that in his evidence at Shediac, Dr. Scott showed that this blood could not have been spattered on the coun- ter from above, as the projection over the side of the counter would prevent it.) The Doctor pointed out the boards of. the floor upon which he had observed three dark stains. He then referred to the post mor- tem examination of McCarthy’s body; de- scribing the clothing upon it, after which he described the state the body was in when swollen, the difficulty in recognizing it, and its being straight and laccid with no con- tortions; a slight wound over the eye, but on account of decomposition, could not tell as to its cause. He described the brain as congested, which might be caused froma blow on the head. A further description of the post mortem was given from the doc- tor’s book of notes taken on the spot. The witness described his analysis of and dis- covery of blood on the shirt bosom. Eliza Osborne, being ill, had to be removed to the jail, and the Court adjourned an hour earlier than usual.

DoRcHESTER, JULY 27.

At the opening of the Court this morning, Eliza, although appearing to be somewhat refreshed, did not appear to be in quite as good health as formerly.

Hon. Mr. Hannington resumed the exam- ination of Dr. Scott on the blood stains of the shirt, and witness explained that he came to the conclusion the deceased came to his death by violence upon the head, causing a flow of blood from the nose and mouth, and that no other positive evidence of violence found other than the state of the brain and the blood stains on the shirt bosom. He described the wound over the eye and the clothing,as to mud. The boards of the floor from the Waverly House were shown. Witness again pointed out three spots thereon, to which his attention was’ called, and three of which resembled blood stains.

Here Mr. Palmer objected to Mr. Han- neers mode of examination, as not only leading the witness but suggesting an ans- wer.

Dr. Tuck considered the learned counsel’s remarks quite sweeping, and proceeded to justify the course of the Crown as fair and impartial.

After a few remarks from Mr. Haning- ton, Dr. Scott then referred to his being called upon to examine a common one-horse express wagon at the Police Court, Monc- ton. He described the dimensions of the wagon: height of box 6} inches, width in- side 3 feet 3} inches,length 5 feet 9? inches. There was nothing noticeable about the wagon. [The boards of the wagon pro- duced. ) itness said he found several spots on the boards and tested them accord- ing to the most indisputable authority, find- ing some were not and some were blood without a doubt. He also pointed outa certain spot upon which blood was as fresh when examined as need be to be noticed. Witness the: referring to the state of McCarthy’s brain, said such result could be produced by a blow on the head with a common hatchet insufficient to break skull or skin of it. In short he could not account for McCarthy’s death in any other way than by violence, for if ie had been drowned he would expect to find the lungs congested with water and blood and would not expect to find blood on the shirt. The brain might or might not be congested. Neither would he expect to find a wound on the head unless it had accidentally come in contact with some hard substance when in the water. The shirt bosom was reproduced and stains measuring seventeen inches in longth — out.

Mr. Palmer then began his cross-exam- ination at 11.45 o’clock referring first to the button on the rubber coat fastened, then to the post mortem made by Dr. Scott. He found a large quantity of blood at the base of the brain, but could not ascertain the ex- act position of ruptured blood vessels pro- ducing i The state of the brain might possibly be produced by intoxication. He found the bone of the skull softer than an ordinary one.

The Grit Meeting at St. Peter's.

Tue Grits hadn’t it all their own way at St. Peter’s. The meeting was, they thought; a grand stroke of policy. For they knew if the Grits were strong anywhere, it is there. Many good men who live at St. Peter’s have not yet divested themselves of the idea that the Party which arrogates to itself the name of Liberal and Reform, is not at all identical with the Party formerly represented by the generous, brilliant, and truly Liberal Edward Whelan. But if these men would but reflect, how soon would they be undeceived? Fancy Edward Whelan being one of the men who tried to take away—even for a year—even for a single day - the franchise of the young men —the electoral rights of the poor men?! Or, fancy Edward Whelan patronized by Mr. Louis H. Davies; and backed by the Patriot newspaper! Can anyone imagine, for a single moment, that the Hon. Edward Whelan, if alive, would not now be fighting fot his country in company with Tilley and Mitchell,and Pope and Brecken and the Mc- Donalds, against the narrow-minded filse Liberals—the Davies’ and Calhouns and Robertsons-—who are now trying to elevate the horn of Alexander McKenzie? Cer- tainly not.

The ‘‘grand stroke of policy” did not, however, turn out to be such a grand stroke after all. The Grits were met face to face in their stronghold by McDonald and Mut- tart, and by a large number of intelligent men who regard the false Liberals—as Mc- Donald and Muttart do—with feelings of abhorence. The force of the Grits were, it is true, strengthened by a goodly brigade from the grand army of Grit officials, and these men, by noisy demonstrations, did their best to weaken the effect of Mr. Brecken’s speech. On the whole, however, good order was preserved. The chairman could not have behaved better than he did. And the speeches of Messrs. McDonald and Muttart, the manly ring of which contrasted favor- ably with the feeble utterances of Messrs. McIntyre and Davies, must have made a favorable impression even upon some of the most invincible of the Organized Hypocrisy. It is to be regretted that a large number of the electors were compelled to leave before the vote was taken. It is reported that at one time the office holding wire pullers were anxiously debating about the policy of havy- ing a division at all. But Mr. Manoah Rowe having spoken, and the meeting hav- ing consequently thinned out, they plucked up courage and made the motion. The re- sult was that fully a third of those who re- mained took their stand for McDonald and Muttart.

The moral effect of this division in the heart of the enemy’s country cannot but be reassuring—the more so that several in- fluential electors counted upon by Dr. Mc- Intyre were among those who identified themselves with the supporters of the Op- position.

Politeness.

WHEN two persons from the same place are among strangers, and one of them be- haves rudely, the other blushes and pro- fesses himself ashamed of his countryman, just in proportion to his own vulgarity at home ; and, when he is once more in his native land he, with an exquisite air of re- finement, discourses to his friends and neighbors generally on his countryman’s misbehaviour abroad.

During the last two sessions of the Do- minion Parliament, the Hon. J. C. Pope and the Editor of the ‘‘ Patriot” were in Ottawa together. Mr. Pope sat on the floor of the House—Mr. Lawson in the Re- porters’ Gallery. Whenever the former rose to speak, the latter reddened at the boor- ishness of his fellow Islander. As promptly as the mails ran, he forwarded the nauseous news. Apparently, his nausea would have overcome him, were it not in his power to share it with Mr. Pope’s opponents, and thus to find relief. Indeed, on one or two occasions, the old process of mails would not have eased him soon enough, and he made a speedy vomit in the form of an indignant telegram on the rowdy member. At any rate, Mr. Pope’s supposed brutalities were reported far and wide in the “ Patriot.”

f announcement.

The Editor of that paper returned home in good health; and the former circumstance seems the only explanation ef the latter.

Mr. Pope lately had occasion to go to St. John. While there, he attended the meet- ing called by Hon. 8. L. Tilley. The St. John ‘‘ Telegraph” announced his presence at it; and the Examiner republished that Now, ordinary men would think no more of his attendance there, than of Mr. Lawson’s presence at_a Grit caucus. Not so with the Editor of the ‘‘ Patriot.” Mx. Tilley is a polite man, says the “‘ Pat- riot,”—and Mr. Pope went to his meeting to get a lesson jn politeness. Hereafter the placid Editor hopes to retain his polish, even when Mr. Pope is speaking before him.

We have no doubt that, as the lectures on etiquette which the “‘ Patriot has printed for Mr. Pope’s benefit, have failed to make any improvement, some of the refined mem- bers of the Grit Party could be hired to give him further instructions. There is Mr. Perry, for instance, towards whom the ‘‘ Patriot” acts with a spirit of profound submission and respect, although these feelings are not reciprocated by Mr. Perry. There is Mr. McGill, whose mode of con- ducting himself at Caledonia gatherings, for instance, is so remarkably bland. There is the Editor of the “ Patriot,” himself, who politely announces that all the advocates of the National Policy are arch-deceivers and deep-dyed traitors, including, of course, Mr. Tilley. All these smooth-faced dandies would be willing to read Mr. Pope private lessons on general conduct. Their anxiety for Mr. Pope’s reformation is pressing. It must be relieved. Even now Mr. Pope’s next appearance in public, after hearing and seeing Mr. Tilley, is a subject of anxious forethought to the Editor cf the ‘« Patriot.” We hope he will not be disap pointed.

THE GRIT MEETING AT ST. PETERS.

Not so much Grit After All.

SPEECHES BY MACINTYRE AND DAVIES, MC- DONALD,MUTTART, MCFAYDEN AND BRECKEN —-REMARKS BY MESSRS. STERNS OF SOURIS AND ROWE OF MONTAGUE,

THE meeting was well attended. Both parties were largely represented ; and the Grit office-holders were duly on hand when wanted. Mr. John Webster was called to the chair, and Mr. David Douglass acted as secretary.

Dr. McIntyre said the question was be- tween Sir John and McKenzie—between Protection and Free Trade—between a revenue tariff of 174 per cent. and a pro- hibitory tariff. Sir John proposes to raise the taxes; McKenzie will keep them as they are. On the item of flour alone, every family will lose $15 or $16 a year if Sir John’s policy be carried out. A duty of seventy-five cents a ton on coal will result in higher prices all over the Dominion, and the farmers of this Island will suffer on that account. The fishermen will also be kept down by aduty onsalt. In fact, the farmers and the fishermen of King’s County will be ruined if McDonald and Muttart be elected. His speech was patiently listened to— a he spoke with his back to the peo- ple.

Hon. D. Davies gave a brief account of his stewardship. With the grants given by the present Government to King’s County, he says the people ought to be perfectly satisfied. True, Murray Harbor has not had much public money expended on it ; but nature has done a good deal for Murray Harbor. He and his colleague had been as prudent as possible in the distribution of patronage—at all events they had done the best they could. With regard to the gen- eral policy of the present Government, he approves of it; and he thinks it will be en- dorsed. He, however, objected to some of the acts of the McKenzie Government, and he is not afraid to say so. He is quite willing to give a certain amount of protec- tion to new industries; but he does not like the idea of giving the manufacturers of Ontario a monopoly of the home markets.

Austin C. McDonald, Esq., first pointed out that the argument of Dr. McIntyre was built on a false foundation. It is not, and never was, the policy of Sir John to add to the volume of taxation. Sir John simply proposes to take the duty off some articles and to raise the duty on others—in short to judiciously readjust the tariff. And what, Mr. McDonald asked, is the policy Mr. Mc- Kenzie expounded to his followers in On- tario? Mr. McKenzie says he is in favor of incidental protection. He says he has no idea of having a system of Free Trade. He says Free Trade is impossible. Then what right have his followers here to claim that they are Free Traders! Mr. McDonald de- nounced this double-faced policy. With reference to the duties on flour, coal, etc., which were proposed last session by sup- perters of McKenzie, but which, Dr. Mc- Intyre alleges, Sir John intends to levy, Mr. McDonald asked if a duty of 20 cents a bushel on potatoes would raise the price ot pototoes here ; and if not, how vould duties on flour and coal raise the price of those articles? Much more flour and coal are produced in the Dominion than its people require. It is idle, then, to say that the cost of these ar- ae will be raised bya duty. Even at

ne present time, ninety ovt of every hun- dred barrels of flour we use are produced in the Dominion, and nearly all the coal we use is the produce of our own mines, Ad- mitting, then, that some revenue were

raised from the coal and flour imported, the

Grits are making a mountain out of a mole-

Scotia were to become again prosperous,

the farmers of the Island would have a steady home market for their potatoes and other surplus products. With reference to salt, Sir John was never in favor of and never intended to place a duty upon salt used in the fisheries. His policy was to foster the fisheries as much as possible ; and all salt used in the fisheries would, under his Government, be admitted duty free, But the Grits say they are in favor of a square revenue tariff. If so, they can- not admit fishing outfits duty free, as at present. At present our fisheries are pro- tected to the extent of 174 per cent. on lines, hooks, etc., all of which are admitted duty free, and therefore receive an advantage from the tariff of 174 per cent., the amount levied upon other articles. But though the fisheries are protected, the duties placed upon other articles are most unfair. The tea of the poor man pays 30 per cent. The tea of the rich man pays but ten per cent. The tobacco nsed by the poor man pays 210 per cent; the cigars of the rich pays but 40 per cent. The Porto-Rico sugar used by the poor man pays 55 per cent.; the erush- ed sugar used by the rich pays but 40 per cent.; and molasses and other necessaries of the poor, are levied upon to an enormous

jewelry of the rich are admitted under duties of 174 per cent. Under these cir- cumstances, the judicious readjustment, for which Sir John and his followers contend, is absolutely necessary in the interests of justice between man and man,

Dr. McIntyre again spoke with his back to the people. He contended that if Sir John were again in power, he would dis- criminate against the world,

Dr. Muttart spoke strongly in favor of Reciprocity; and contended that we should endeavor to make it the interest of the United States to give us Reciprocity. He attacked the Government for not fulfilling their promises—their pledges to the elec- tors; and he quoted Cartwright’s pros- pectus while raising his loan in England to show that Sir John had been eminently prudent in his conduct of public affairs, and that the country was, under his control, in the highest degree prosperous. Dr, Mu’. tart showed the fallacy of the statements made relative to coal, flour and salt. He said that, if elected, he would consider the Country first, and Party afterwards.

Malcolm McFadyen, Esq., criticised Sir John and his acts while in power and praised McKenzie. He said that Sir John ran the machine wildly, extravagantly, recklessly, while McKenzie was prudent, economical and fair. Sir John is an utter failure as an administrator ; McKenzie has been a great success. Sir John’s policy, if carried out, will be ruinous to us. Mr. McKenzie’s policy will carry the country on to pros- perity.

Hon. F. Brecken was called upon, and on coming forward was received with cheers, He said one thing struck him as curious

though not peculiar to the Grit candidates for King’s County. They had not a word to say in praise of the acts of the government they support. Their only anxiety now seems to be about what Sir John McDonald may do—their only care about what (they say) he has done in the past. Mr. Brecken then dwelt at length upon the various topics of the day. His speech was eloquent in many p es, and brilliant throughout. Mr. Bre a was prevented from making some of his best points by the interruptions of Mr. Henry Lawson, and by the~ noisy demon-. stration of some of the Grit officials, who appeared to be present for the purpose. Mr. Henry Lawson was premptorily told to ‘* sit down Lawson,” and the noisy officials were, with great difficulty, kept quiet. —

Dr. Rosertson then spoke at some length. In the course of his remarks, Mr. Sterns, of Souris, asked him to explain how it is that the necessaries of life can be obtained more cheaply in the Protected States than they can in Canada.. The Doc- tor was not ready witha reply ; and as soon as he subsided Mr. Sterns showed the peo- ple what he meant, and catried the fght into the enemy’s camp. He attacked the McKenzie Government in a telling manner —showing how they had utterly faildd-to perform their promises and had been more extravagant and corrupt than they ever ac- cused their opponents of being.

Mr. Henry Lawson then volunteered a few remarks ; and Mr. Rowe followed with a speech which speedily cleared the room. The chairman then moved to the door of the Court House, and—

Mr. Henry Douglass moved, seconded by Mr. David Larkins, that Dr. McIntyre and Mr. Malcolm McFayden be candidates for the representatiop of King’s County injthe House of Commons.

Hilary McIsaac, Esq., M.P.P., moved, seconded by Mr. F. H. Sanderson, that’ Austin C. McDonald, Esq., and Dr. Muttar¢' be candidates for the representation of King’s County in the House of Commons. The meeting then divided—about two- thirds supporting the former nomination and one-third the latter. :

Both parties loudly cheered their candi- dates. Each of the candidates expressed himself as confident of success, and each ee em Teppectoss for the nomination.

e meeting then dispersed—all a well pleased with the oad. a.
