sentative of Her Majesty, he had made up his mind to bring abeut the coup d'etat upon which we are commenting to-night. We are bound to speak upon this question. The reason given, that we ought not because a general election is going on in Quebec, is not sufficient. We have had State papers placed before us by His Excellency, and the intention undoubtedly is, that we should ex- press an opinion upon them. And _ besides, have we not addresses from the late House of Assembly, ané from the Legislative Coun- cil, asking us to look into this great consti- tutional question? It is our duty to deal with this matter, regardless of what may be the result of the elections which are now in progress in the Province of Quebec. In this Dominion of ours, where Federal institutions are upon their trial, we want to define for the future guid- ance of Lieutenant Governors, what their functions and duties are, while holding such responsible positions. It is not for the Province of Quebec alone, but for the seven or eight other Provinces of the Dominion, that we are asked to express an opinion to-night. If for one moment this act of Mr. Letellier’s should be approved of by this House, we might at once haul down the great constitu- tional flag and give up the liberties which our forefathers fought for in the Mother Country, and in the Provinces of this Do- minion, and at once look forward to having over us as a ruler, a despot like the Czar of Russia.

Senator Haviland’s Speech on Constitutional Outrage in Quebec.

the

Senators Haviland and Hewian undoubt- edly, during the past session, added largely to their reputations. Senator Howlan’s speeches upon the Fort Frances Lock Job and the muddled tariff and finances of Canada (under Grit rule) were both able efforts—highly spoken of by men in every way competent to judge. Senator Havi_| land’s speeches upon Winter Communica- tion with this Island and upon the gross Constitutional outrage perpetrated—under the auspices of the false Liberals who now govern Canada—by the partizan Governor St. Just, attracted the attention and won the applause of Senators on both sides. The manner in which he discomfited Senator Penny gained him much credit. Senator Penny said that in 1850 the King dis- missed Lord Palmerston; and argued that, therefore, St. Just might dismiss his Min- istry though his Ministry was backed up by an overwhelming majority in both Houses of the Legislature. Senater Havi- land promptly corrected the mis-statement, pointing out that Lord Palmerston was dis- missed on the advice and recommendation of the Prime Minister, and in strict con formity with the principles of Constitu- tional Government. Senator Haviland also made a patent point when he said that, in this Dominion, the ‘‘champions of old toryism and depotism,” are ‘‘Liberals”—(so-called);

and the champions of pure and undefiled

Liberalism are the Conservatives. The truth could not have been more aptly spoken. Not only on the question of the Constitutional outrage in Quebec, but on every other question that cames up for dis- cussion and decision, the so-called ‘‘Lib- erals’ express old Tory opinions and cast old Tory votes ; and the so-called ‘‘Conser- vatives’—-while they cling tenaciously to those things political which are good—lead the van of the battle for true progress and real reform. Senator Havi- land and his fellow conservatives look upon the act of Letellier de St. Just as the deep- est stab that Constitutional Government

has ever received ; and they denounce it. But so-called ‘‘ Lib- erals—the false Liberals of Canada—

excused it, and by their votes gave it prac tical endorsation. Senator Haviland showed that Letellier’'s act affected not Quebec ‘alone, but also every Province in the Dominion ; and he was right in saying that—

‘* If for one moment this act of Mr. Letel- lier’s should be approved of by this House, we might at once haul down the great constitu- tional flag and give up the liberties which our forefathers fought for in the Mother Country and in the Provinces of this Dominion, and at

once look forward to having over us, as a ruler, a despot like the Czar of Russia.”

Senator Havitann’s speech on the Con- stitutional outrage in Quebec will be found in another column of this day’s issue. It is well worthy a careful perusal.

A pRUNAway occurred on Queen Street at 11 o'clock to-day. Two Misses Hobkirk were passing Apothecaries’ Hall in a vis-a- wis wagon, when the bolt which attaches the fore-axle to the wagon body came out. The shafts immediately struck the horses heels, and he sped down the street ata rapid gate, carrying with him the two fore-wheels and shafts. Atthe Market House, the wheels collided with a wagon owned by Mr. John Cole, carrying away the two side wheels, and throwing Mr. Cole from the wagon.

He then turned into the North Side of the Market Square, which was crowded with market people and vehicles, caused a great flutter of excitement among the fish- women, passed into Grafton Street, and entered a gangway at Mr. A. Murray’s store, when he was taken in charge by the owner. other damage was done.

tectionist principles. It is grave upon the Kaministiquia job, and the money paid to party hacks. It iias noth- ing to say about Fort Frances Lock, though it cost $180,000. It is silent about the $20,- 000 thrown away at Souris. It has not a word to devote to the Steel Rails transac- tion, which involved a loss of some $2,000- 000. Goderich Harbor and the $30,000 sunk in it receives no mention. The fact that the expenses of all the public offices have been very largely increased under the ‘* economical’ rule of McKenzie is un worthy even of a paragraph in ‘the Patriot. No word escapes it respecting the posse of ‘‘ nurists”’ who were condemned by the judges for bribery and corruption at elec- tions. Many other equally remarkable facts directly affecting the issues before the people at the next election, the Patriot treats with studied silence and neg- lect. But it is almost desperate for a chance to ventilate Smith’s offer of his seat in the Cabinet to Mr. Pope. What has this offer to do with the issues before the country! That it was made, Mr. Pope publicly asserted last year, and his assertion was not denied. That it was made, those who know Mr. Pope un- hesitatingly believe. The Patriot's well affected doubts are made public for the pur- pose merely of diverting public attention from jobs, blunders and crimes, which af- fect the pockets, the principles and the honor of the people of Canada.

Correspondence.

ga We do not hold ourselves responsible for the statements or op inions of ourcorrespondents.

Srtr,—I have been watching for some time past the discussion between yourself and the editor of the Patriot on the trade question, That the question of Trade is one of im- portance none will deny, and it is right that it should be looked at and discussed from prin- ciple. Aman whom we know to be sincere in the discussion of any question generally re- ceceives our admiration. But a man who, from political prejudice or party motives, writes long articles only to deceive, deserves that his name should only be mentioned to be despised. Now, sir, if the editor of the Pat- riot is honest and sincere in the discussion of this question, why narrow it down to a mere personal attack on the Hon, J. U. Pope? Why does he not discuss this question on its own merits? Does he suppose that the intel- ligent electors of Queen’s County are going to be misled by his contemptible tactics? He tells us that Pope voted for Sir John’s resolu- tion, and considers that a sufficient reason for traducing and maligning his character. It is well known that Pope voted against a resolution which Sir John brought forward a year before. Did the editor ot the Patriot then pass a eulogy on the hon. gentleman for so doing? Did he commend him for the course which he had taken’? Did he write articles, telling us that the Island was safe—that on one of the greatest questions that ever came before Parliament, Pope voted with McKenzie ? He certainly did not doso. But instead, he wrote the vilest articles denouncing him as a disgrace to his country. Thereby he proved, most conclusively, that he is utterly insincere; and that abusing Mr. Pope is more congenial to his mind, and more in unison with his poli- tics than the discussion of the trade question. If the Editor of the Patriot is sincere, why support a leader who takes to his bosom Mr. Workman. of Montreal,--one of the greatest Protectionists in the Dominion—a leader who went purposely to Montreal to assist this same Protectionist in his election? Why support McKenzie, when he publicly says, we cannot have Free Trade; and as an evidence of this, and to show his sincerity, trots off to Mon- treal to preach Protection, and afterwards protects petroleum oil to the extent of sixty per cent? The inconsistency of the Editor of the ‘* Patriot,” on this question, and the con- temptible tactics to ywhich he resorts in his opposition to Mr. Pope, are in accordance with his career as a public writer. He may tell us that Pope is a failure as a politician ; that he was never designed by nature to takea prominent place in the councils of his country; that in the Commons he is a fourth-rate man. He may tell us all this; and further tell us that the five men who support McKenzie are bright luminaries ; that they are pre-eminestly quali- fied to represent us at Ottawa; that they are eloquent advocates of the people’s rights ; that they can discuss the great questions which come before Parliament with ability; and by their oratorical efforts make a marked impres- sion in the Dominion House of Commons. He may tell us that when any of the five rose in their places to speak a death like silence per- vaded the whole House, and that the report- ers in the galleries were so overcome with the burning eloquence of the orator and so com- pletely carried away with enfetion that they had to rest their peus in wonderment and ad- miration--which, no doubt, accounts for the fact that the speeches of our five representa- tives ace seldom recorded!

Now, I would ask, is the editor of the Pat- riot sincere in his praises of these five men? We shall see: Two years ago there was a Do- minion election. We were then told by the editor of the Patriot that if we would send a man to Ottawa possessed of sufficient common sense, we should get a seat in the Cabinet. Where were those other five who had support- ed McKenzie so long? Where were those five bright and shining lights, whose brilliancy in the Dominion House of Commons was general- ly admired? They must have felt that when the editor 02 the Patriot was really sincere, he knew how to estimate their ability.

may still go on in the course which you have adopted, and in the future, as In the past, stand the qutspoken champion of the people's richts, I remain, ete., .. Wom Ch’town, May 31, 1875.

THE McCARTHY MURDER,

The Evidence at the Inquest.

Snepiac, May 29.

Deputy Sheriff Sweeney goes to the Is- land to-day for more witnesses. Annie, Parker, in care of Sheriff Sproul, went back to Hampton this morning.

John Atkinson, son of Farmer Atkinson, remembered the 12th Oct,on account of the winnowing being finished that day ; Satur- day, 12th, saw no unusual tracks through their fields.

Ansolm Legere, jeweller, living in She- diac, deposed: A watch was given him since a few days ago; witness produced it in Court. The watch numbers 608,294. — It is American and silver hunting case. ° Had examined the :nain spring and hands and the works in general. He could not tell what time it had stopped. The hands of the wateh would drop to pieces as soon as touched, and were detached from the cen- tre pinion. The watch had run down com- pletely, and at what hour it ceased could not state. The watch is black from the effects of water, and the face is discolored by iron rust from the hands, The chain is of gold, and is black.

Adjourned for dinner.

Suepiac, May 2%.

After dinner Dr. Tuck was present and the enquiry was resumed.

Johnson was asked to stand aside for a little in order to make room for Mr. C,. P. Harris, of Moncton, who wished tu go away immediately.

Mr. Harris, sworn, said : Live at Monce- ton and know John Osborne about twenty Had a note made by John Osborne

years. and John Kirk for $190. It fell due in October. After the 12th October, Osborne

paid the note, and the instrument was placed in his hands. It had been overdue about ten days. The note was on the bank of Montreal for discount. Witness left a check at the bank to prevent dishonour. The $100 was paid by Osborne before the 23rd October. Osborne was poorly at the time. This was the only business transac- tion [had with him at that time. Osborne paid in paper money; whether the bills were large or small I could not state. Os- borne was shaking and could not count with ease.

Andrew 8. Foster followed, and deposed that he lived in Moncton, and was one of the police force of that town. Has been such since January last. Knew Timothy McCarthy. The Osbornes he had in cus- tody in January last; frequently heard Os- bornes talk about the disappearance of Mc- Carthy. They wished to talk with witness about the McCarthy trouble several times, but he told them he did not wish to hear anything about it. [Here Dr. Tuck eulog- ized witness for his carefulness,] Witness continued : Osborne said 1m his hearing they wanted to arrest Campbell in order to keep him from giving evidence in their favor. Heard Mrs. Osborne say in the hall that if Campbell had some of her pluck they would get but little out of him. [At this point Mrs. Osborne manifested a little excited feeling. | Witness continued : She said also, ‘If we are convicted, well, others will be convicted too.” She returned to her room, and Os- borne followed. Found a piece of rope in the Scadoue River this spring. [Rope pro- duced in Court.] Found it between farmer Atkinson’s barn and the railway bridge. It was picked up where water was about three feet deep, and about fifteen feet from the shore. Found it on the Atkinson side of the river, and near the barn. The way we found the rope was by hearing two men talking about finding one in the river. {The men, who were standing on the bridge of the river, said they had just thrown a rope into the river, and witness asked them to get it for him, which they did. He took it, and it had a firm loop on one end. ‘The rope looks like a bed-cord rope.

Mr. Holstead—This rope with the piece that has been broken off, it is about five feet long. It does not correspond with the rope described by Annie Parker, but only differs in that it is about half a foot shorter.

Dr. Tuck remarked that what an oflicer in charge of, prisoners has heard said by prisoners is just as lawful evidence if said voluntarily by prisoners, as other- wise.

Dr. Tuck objected to Mr. Holstead’s asking witness what his opinion was of the murder, and if he had expressed an opinion.

Mr. Holstead spoke further, and Dr. Tuck thought that as the proceedings had continued amicably so far it was rather late now to sneer, and that if his learned friend expected that he was going to rule the in- vestigation, he would soon find himself mis- taken.

$50 was paid in October, and Osborne was apparently ill; $18 more has been paid since, and the balance remains unpaid,

To Mr. Holstead—The goods bought by Osborne were for Dan White, builder, The latter’scredit was not good, White is Os- borne’s son-in-law.

To Mr.Tuck—The $102 was contracted by Osborne, and he alone was respon- sible.

Evidence closed, and the Court adjourn- ed until to-morrow at 10.

An Astonishing Fact.

A large proportion of the American people are to day dying from the effects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result of these diseases upon the masses of intelli- gent and valuable people is most alarming, making life actually a burden instead of a pleasant existence of enjoyment and use- fulness as it ought to be. There is no good reason for this, if you will only throw aside prejudice and skepticism, take the advice of Druggists and your friends, and try one bottle of Green’s August Flower. Your speedy relief is certain. Millions of bottles of this medicine have been given away to ‘try its virtues, with sa‘isfactory results in every case. Youcan buy a sample bottle for 10 cents to try. Three doses will releive \the worst case. Positively sold by all drug- gists on the Western Continent.
