Correspondence,

wa We do not hold ourselves responsible for

the opinions or statcinents of correspondents,

| T'o the Kditor of the Examiner :

| Dear Str,—-There appeared a communica- | tion in yesterday's Patriot over the signature ‘of ‘‘Fireman,” commenting on the ‘‘bad taste” ‘of the Hook & Ladder Company in taking | ‘unto thernselves the honored name of the Sir | John A. Co.” My impression is, Mr. Editor, that the communication in question was wot written by a fireman, but by some selfish, un- scrupulous politician, who, to vent his spleen and malice against Sir John and his Party, rushes into print on the simple occasion of the naming of afire company! When ‘‘Fireman,” ‘asserted that Sir John McDonald ‘‘has become ‘corrupt and ebnoxious to the people of the | Dominion,” he stated what he must have known | to be false ; but this statement is in keeping ; with the rest of his letter. As far as following fin Sir John’s footsteps is concerned, the ma- | jority of the members, not only of the Hook & | Ladder Co., but of all our Fire Companies, are |Sir John men, which will be fully demon- | strated at the next election ; and I sincerely hope, Mr. Editor, that by that time ‘‘fire- man” will have opened his eyes to the errors of his ways, and become a good square support- er of the McDonald party. It is really too bad that ‘‘Fireman’s” lot was not cast in the Hook & Ladder Co., for, no doubt, he would, by his eloquence and political influence, be the means of hindering them, in their ‘tmad career,” from adopting such a ‘‘corrupted” name; and prob- ably the Co. waquld now be known as the ‘‘A. McK. Co.,”—and then how easily (%) they could ‘‘work themselves into, the favor of the citizens”! However, it is not the name the Co. bears that our citizens have to do with, for ‘‘what’s ina name?’ It matters not what name they bear, so long as they perform their duty well; and, sotar, | don’t think the cit- izens have any reason to complain—and J hope they never will.

In taking leave of ‘‘Fireman,” | must say that if is my firm belief that no fireman in our midst is possessed of sufficient ill-nature and animosity to warrant his writing such a scur- rilous, malicious and untruthful communica- tion as that in yesterday’s Patriot; and I mustsay that the writer, whoever he was, showed very ‘‘bad taste” indeed.

Yours, etc., ANOTHER FuneMAN.

Mr. Mclusan’s Speech at the Souris Meeting.

To the Editor of the Lraminer.

Dear Sir,-—Some few days ago I forwarded to the Datry Examrver, for publication, a Report of a political meeting recently held at Souris, at which I had acted as Secretary. The Report duly appeared in your columns, although in a somewhat condensed form, But this, owing to the limited space at your dis- posal, was, I suppose, unavoidable. Now, however, as one of the speakers of the meeting referred to—namely, Mr. McLean—claims that injustice has been done him by the Re- port, as published, I feel obliged, in justice to him as well as to myself, to ask the privilege of submitting to your readers a brief synopsis of this gentleman's speech on that occasion :—

‘** But he (Mr. Bolger) declining in favor of the resident members, —

‘‘James R. McLean, Esq., M. P. P., took the floor. He regretted being unwell, and was therefore unable to address the meeting at any length. He approved of the meeting, but complained that due notice of it had not been given him. He favored resolution No. 1. He did not wish to cast odium on the Minister of Public Works in his absence, but he consid- ered that that gentleman, in his official ca

pacity, committed nothing short of a breach of trust. He considered the Resolution asking representatives to op-

pose the present administration, or resign thetr trust, injudicious and uncalled for. He was aware that some of the Acts passed last session had given much dissatisfaction throughout the country ; but contended that the principles upon which they were based were sound, and that they would yet meet with the approval and agceptance of the people. The Assess- ment Act he considered somewhat arbitrary, inasmuch-as it gave no appeal from the judg- ment of the Appraisers. ‘Thought a Revisory Board might obviate that defect. He con- sidered the principle of the Bill good,—the only equitable mede of levying a tax; and, therefore, supported it in the House. He had nat, however, the casting vote on this measure, as had been cireulated in some quarters. The vote stood 1] to 16, and would be carried whichever way he voted. He did not approve of taxing personal property ; if woud injurious- ly affect the farmers, many of whom had money invested in mortgages, deeds, &c., or pon deposit in Banks. He would not tax in- 'corporated towns or cities; they had their muaicipal’taxes to pay. He would advise the people of Souris, if they desired to evade the general assessment, to get their town incor- porated. He did not stand there to defend the Government, in all its measures, nor would he take occasion to censure it thronghout. He ; believed the late Government was, in some degree, responsible for the necessity of addi- | tional taxation. They introduced the Civil Servicee Reform Bill—they had not only in- ‘erted the wedge, but had driven it pretty ewell in, before the present party came into ‘power. He had some political differences | with the Leader of the Opposition, and would i not co-operate with that gentleman. He would resign his seat in the House before he would | serve under the Leadershipof Mr. Sullivan; and | whenever @ majority of his constituents would ‘demand such a step, he would cheerfully re. sign his trust as their representative. W hat- ever attitude he might assume in the House, he would, however, support any. and every measure coming before him, which he thought would subserve the interests of his consti- tuency ; and. would use his best endeavors to make those Acts, which were now so unsatis ' factory, more workable, and more acceptable to the people.” Now, Sir, you will perceive that the above }is an extract from the original Report forward-

NO. 260.

'ed by me, and ia, I believe, identical in ites | writing with the manuscript in your posses. |sion. Hoping that it wi'l relieve me from the imputation of having beem partial and unfair in the matter, and thanking you, Mr. Editor, | for your valuable space, I remain, Sir,

/ Yours very truly,

M. Foury.

Our Minister of Justice.

¥rom an Ottawa telegram to the Halifax ‘** Herald,” we clip the following respecting Mr. Laflamme :—

‘Tt is understood that the Supreme Court is fully prepared to give judgment in the Jacques-Cartier election case. The aetnal judgment is, of course, not known, but public and political opinion fully expects that La- flamme will not only be unseated but disquali-~ fied, as the chief cases of bribery and undue influence proved are those which came directl within Laflamme’s personal knowledge. Al- ready, indeed, whispersof Mr. Laflamms’s suc- eessor are being heard, and this is not surpri- sing, as his physically and mental incapacity during the debates of Thursday and Friday nights last was perfectly shocking to his friends. The Oppositien played with him and Mr. Mackenzie had to take at times the de fence of the bill ont of his hands,”

The East. THE St. John *‘ News” remarks that the prospect in the East is still discouraging. The Russian Government persists in its re- fusal to substitute the terms of its peace with the Porte te the judgment of a Con- ress representing all the leading European powers. Yet it commenced its war upon the Turks as a sort of agentof those powers, and all those powers have more or less in- terest in the characterof the terms imposed on Turkey. If the Russian Government,in its settlement with the Sultan, made no ex- actions menacing to its neighbors, its refu- sal to submit them to a Eurcpean Congress is most uareasonable. op-eeritinneiiiesiia A SoyeuLar Arrarr.—-A correspndento sends us an account of what is certainly a singular affair, if correcty described. A little girl of Mr. John R. Palmer, Portland, went to a box in which were two cats each with a family of kittens. Itis possible that the parents had been quarrelling over family affuirs, for they were both man angry mood, and they attacked the child im a fearful manner, scratching and biting her so badly that but for the timely interfer- ence of some of the boarders and her mother, the child would have been literally scratched to pieces. One theory is that the cais, may have mistaken the girl for the dog, and their excitement assailed her. a ** War Songs” are still the chief product of the English muse. Some of them are slightly sarcastic. Here is a specimen stave from one of the latest :— **Qh, the British Lion is a noble scion. And proud in his conscious might; The terror of those he has made his foes, For he ever defends the right; And yet so mild that a timid chee-ild May approach him, and need not quail; And pat him on the crown and stroke him down— But beware how you tread on his tail! Oh, beware! Have a care! Oh, beware! Have a ca hare! Oh, beware how you tread on his ta-ha-ail!” Tue Boss Tramp.—The father of tramps was captured in Ogdensburg, recently, and

thirty days. He gave his name as McDonald, but had changed it so often that he probably did not know whether it was the real one or not. He had been in the business for thirty years, and had resorted to ev

dodge imaginable. He had played deaf and dumb, blind, insane, and the wounded old soldier, the reformed drunkard, the shi wrecked mariner, and everything else he cou think of, but had never been guilty of perform- ing a day’s work or knowing what it was to have a home. His chief end was to find the close of the day and a place to stay over night.

Tur London Tablet says that the restora- tion of the Scotch Roman Catholic Hier- archy is virtually accomplished. It gives the Roman Catholic population of the five dioceses as 360,000, at which rate they will he bishoped. The ancestors of Dr. Mae- Donald, the newly created Bishop of Argyll, received the Pretender in his house at the rising of 1745, and there the Prince slept the last night he was in Scotland. Most of the Scotch Roman Catholice are of lrish extraction.

H. M. S. Evrypice.-—This yessel, the loss of which was reported by telegraph, was a wooden sailing corvette of 1014 tons, 6 guns, and manned by a crew of 265 men. She was commissioned at Portsmouth, 7th February, 1877, by Capt. Marcus A. S. Hare, as a training ship for ordinary sea- men. The ‘‘Eurydice”’ had been cruisi for several months in the West indionsand left Bermuda on the 6th inst., direct for England.
