CHARLOTTETOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, MONDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1878.
een
- DECEMBER 16, 1878.
A YEAR and a half have rolled away ; and the Darty Examrner still lives.
Indeed it may now be truly said that the
DatLy ExamINeER is one of the “ institu- tions” of the Province.
An appetite for a daily paper has been formed; and, judging by the increasing sales of the Darty Examiner in the city, along
the line of railway, and in the various towns throughout the Province, it is doubtful if the people could live without their duily paper.
Hard though the times and dark the pros- pect of the coming winter, it is our inten- tion to continue the publication of the Datty EXAMINER, so that the popular de- mand may be supplied.
Throughout the winter we intend to sup- ply to the public, by means of the Datry EXAMINER, a daily telegra:a containing news of all the notable events which shall tran- spire throughout the world in this great crisis of its history.
Through the Dairy Examiner the people of the Island shall—from day to day—and, independently of the Northern Light or Muttart and Irving—be informed of what is transpiring in Afghanistan, in Russia, in Germany, in the neighboring Republic, and most important of all—in the mother eountry.
We shall, if possible, send a special cor- respondent to report for the Damry Exami- NER the Parliamentary proceedings at Ottawa, with special reference to those which most directly and most deeply inter- est the people of this Island.
The local news shall be given through the Daity ExaMINeR promptly, truly and as full as possible.
For the large means required to carry out this work we look tu the people whose wants the Damry Examiner will supply, and whose varied interests we shall assidu- ously endeavor to promote. |
The original subscribers of the Datty EXAMINER will, in the course of a few days, be called upon for a renewal of their favors.
The beginning of another term is a good time to subseribe ; and persons who have not hitherto taken the Datuy Examiner would do well to subscribe now.
In connection with the Daury Examiner the Werexty Examiner will be issued, at the unprecedentedly low subscription price of ONE DOLLAR a year—payment to be made in advance.

Pariiament. Lonpon, Dee. 15.
In the House of Commons, to-night, Right Hon. Mr. Perey re-opened the de- bate on the Afghan war on the part of the Government.
Sir Wm. Vernon Harcourt followed, ac- cusing the Government of forcing a quarrel on the Ameer. He declared that the ac- quisition of a ‘‘ scientific frontier’ would make Afghanistan another Bulgaria, and the continuance of such a policy would eause Russian influence to overshadow the earth.
A notable feature of the debate was the delivery of speeches by Mr. Newdegate and General Sir Alexander Gordon, both Conservatives, denouncing the Govern- went’s policy. Sir Alexander declared Lord Beaconsfield was responsible for that policy.
The Marquis of Hartington closed the debate. He said the very worst_policy which was possible was that of partial and incomplete military occupation, which he wasafraid the Government had determined to carry out, though an overwhelming concur rence of military opinion was opposed thereto. He believed the possibility of an invasion was decreasing yearly. No _ per- manent occupation of any portion of Afghanistan against the wishes of of the inhabitants ought to be sanctioned, and would only facilitate Russian intrigues, which would be best encountered by a wise administration, or, if external means were
necessary, by direct explanation with Russia. He thought, above all, that
Lord Lytton sheuld be recalled, as ‘fan incarnation of all that India’s policy ought not to he.” [Loud cheers by the Opposition.] ‘‘But to effect this we must also get rid of the Government of whose nominally spirited, but really abject foreign policy he believed the country was nearly ticed.”” . He said, in conclusion, ‘*Whatever differences of opinion there may be as to the justice of the war there is no difference on the subject of supporting the gallant troops engaged in it by every means in our pewer.”’ _ Sir Stafford Northcote made the closing speech, declaring that the recall, at such a crisis, of the Viceroy would be despicable. Lord Hartington ought not to weaken the Viceroy’s authority. He pointed to the loyalty which prevailed thronghout India as a refutation of the criticisms of the Opposi- tion. He ended by declaring nothing could be more contrary to the feelings or the in- tentions of the Government than a policy of annexation, but they felt bound to guard the interests and security of India,
Whitbread’s motion, censuring the Govy- ernment for its Afghan policy, was. re. jected.
Vrenna, Dec. 13.
The Chiefs of the Albanian League have demanded the incorporation of Albanian districts as autonomous provinces. They intend to act on the defensive and have re- fused to aid the Porte against the Mace- donian insurgents, have promised to protect Podgoritza against Montnegro, and have advised the inhabitants of Novi Bazar not to attack the Austrian troops occupying Bosnia.

EXECUTION OF A MURDERER.
Castafrolez Hung for the Murder of Matheron near lake Champlain.
HE AFFIRMS HIS INNOCENCE WITH HIS DYING BREATH, BUT MADE A PREVIOUS CON- FESSION TO HIS LAWYER.
Sr. Jonn, P. Q., Dec. 13.
At an early hour, this morning, groups of men were io be seen at the street corners discussing the tragic event which was to take place to-day. At nine o'clock a large crowd had gathered around the jail eager to get a glimpse at the prisoner. Your cor- respondent called on the Rev. Cure Aubrey, who has been with the prisoner ever since his confinement, and was informed by that gentlemen that when the telegram was re- ceived from Ottawa, informing the Sheriff that the law must take its course, he called upon the prisoner, in company with the Sheriff, and upon informing him that his doom was sealed, Castafrolez, who received the news very calmly, threw up his hands and exclaimed : ‘‘ITam not guilty of the murder of Matheron.” The prisoner de- voted most of lastnight to reading his prayer book and slep in all about three hours. His wife visited him two days after sen- tence was pronounced, when he bade her good bye, saying he did not wish her to visit him again, as he did not know how it would affect him. She is now in Fall River.
The execution was to have taken place at 11 o'clock, but owing to some slight delay it was not till a few minntes after 11 o'clock that the condemned man ap- peared. He was attended by Rev. Messrs. Aubrey and Daigneau, of this place. He mounted the scaffold with a firm step and his demeanor all through appeared cool and indifferent as to his fate. He then ad- dressed those present without a quiver in his voice, saying ‘‘Gentlemen I suppose you expect a speech of me and a confession, but I have no confession to make. I am about to suffer the extreme penalty of the law fora crime of which I am entirely innocent.” He then thanked the jailor and his family for their kindness and attention during his imprisonment, and also those people of St.
MINER.
NO, 467.
——
John’s,County and friends across the line who had kindly signed a petition to the Government asking his sentence to be com- muted to imprisonment for life. He then, in a solemn voice, declared once more his innocence, and called on the Aimighty as his witness. He said he had been high in
| position in this world, but now was about to
descend, pointing with his finger to the foot of the scaffold. He then requested the Sheriff to tighten the rope around his neck. His last words were, ‘Oh, my God, if it was not forgny faith in thee what would sustain me now.” He was let hang for about the usual time and then cut down, when an eager crowd who were outside of the walls were admitted to see him inside of the jail yard. ‘The square around the Courthouse was crowded, and some in their anxiety to see the man hung, climbed on top of the Courthouse,
After the execution of Castafrolez your correspondent interviewed Mr. H. J. St. Pierre, who was tirst retained as counsel by the murderer. He is perfectly confident of the guilt of Castafrolez, and says that he confessed to him. The confession was made in St. John’s, Que., during the pro- gress of theinquest. Castafrolez had drawn a map Which St. Pierre still has in his pos- session, designating the exact spot where he murdered deceased, it being in Ameri- can territory, about an acre and a half from Fort Montgomery. Then the prisoner in- troduced the matter by stating that he was alarmed lest they should find that the blows were made with the end of the handle of an oar, the jury being under the impression that they were made with the feathered portien. Mr. St. Pierre stopped Casta- frolez in the midst of his confession, saying he would hear no more of it.
It was on account of this confession, as well as to the fact that the prisoner did not pay his expenses to St. John’s, as promised, that Mr. St. Pierre dropped the case. Mr. St. Pierre believes that Castafrolez made a full confession to Mr. Perrault, the Vice- Consul of Frauce.

Lord Dufferin on Canada.
We have already published a part of Lord Dufferin’s Belfast speech. Our readers, doubtless, will be pleased to read the report of his hearty and whole-souled remarks in reference to his sojourn in Canada :—
The past six years of my life have been spentamong a population it was a delight to rule and serve. (Loud cheers.) Intelligent, industrious, sober-minded, loyal, I found them not only free from domestic discon- tent and intestine commotion, but enthus'- astically enamored of their constitution, their political status in relation to the mother country, and their expanding dest- nies. (Renewed cheers.) Most of the so- cial, religious, and other fundamental ques- tions by which the Old World is still being agitated had either being satisfactorily settled, or had never gathered to a head, and whatever controversies existed were be- ing discussed in and out of Parliament with as much decorum, sobriety and moderation of thought and language as we would find
—well, where shall I say—in Iveland it- self. (Cheers and great laughter.) The Ministers with whom I successively came into contact proved to be men of great, ability, experience, and undoubted patriot- ism, who never failed to keep with mea scrupulous good faith. (Hear, hear, and applause.) My Parliaments were sagaicious and constitutional, whilst, as far as my personal position was concerned, I experi- enced amongst all classes of the community, whether French or English, the greatest courtesy and an earnest desire to put the best possible interpretation upon anything the representative of Her Majesty might either do or say. (Applause.) As for the good-will shown me, both as Viceroy and in my private capacity, by my own immediate Trish fellow-countrymen—whether Catholics or Protestants, Nationals or Orangemen— words cannot describe it. Their loyalty and unanimity taught me a lesson in _poli- tics which, I trust, I shall never forget. (Great cheering.) But not only did I find good humor and contentment at home, but peace and security abroad. (Cheers.) Of course, no’ annoyance was to be dreaded along either of our ocean seaboards. As for unr northern frontier, no suspicious emissaries or outposts menaced from Spitz- bergen our Polar possessions. —(loud laugh- ter) ;—while to the south of us we were in genuine and close friendship with a people who, as far as my experience goes, merit in the highest degree the confidence and re- gard of Great Britain—(long-continued cheers)—who have evinced towards Canada the utmost consideration and good-will, and who, in the punctual payment of the fish- eries award—(hear hear)—in spite of a very widespread, though I do believe quite un- founded, conviction that it was excessive, have given an undoubted proof of their self-respect and good faith. (Loud cheers.)
It is reported that an English scientist, Mr. Norman Lockyer, has demonstrated the possibility of the transmutation of metals. He is said to have actually turned copper into calcium, nickel into cobalt, and ealcium into stroutium. The 4Arst part of the experiment was to vaporize the metal by a voltaic current in a glass tube; the second to treat the deposit with hydroch- lone acid ; the third to prove by the aid of the spectroscope that the change had taken place. The report requires confimation, and the experiments verification. ‘Should both be secured, the next thing will be to determine the practical value of the dis-
covery. The possibilites seem startling.
