Ministerial Blections.

Ir is believed that the new Ministers Moeasrs. Caron and M will be re- elected without opposition, It is at least certain that, if opposed, the } will be merely factious. The new ters are evidently very popular.

Civic Uncleanness.

sseau

Opposith I Minis

Tue City has a vacant lot at the head of (Queen Street, on which is deposited all the scrapings of the streets—iorming @ large heap of manure in & state of fermentation.

The ground is low and swampy; and on}

evenings when the airis heavy and the weather warm, it is said to bea very plague Bot.

Ambitious St. John.

Sr Joun is ambitious to become the Eastern Terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway. If enterprise and ‘* go,” can secure the object of its ambition, St. John will probably be successful. We regret that Halifax does not seem to be alive to ita advantages.

The United States Cabinet.

Wuo will comprise the Garfield Cabinet ! This important question is now troubling the people of the Republic. It is thought that Senator Conkling will be Secretary of State, and that General Grant will be in vited tobecome Secretary of War. But Garfield keeps his own counsel; and con- jecture does not receive much comfort. Confidence is, however, felt that the Cabi- net will be a good one.

Competitive Examinations.

The way ‘‘these Islanders,” when placed in honorable competition with the natives of other Provinces, win honors abroad, in scholarship, literature, art and science, 1s remarkable ; and we have no doubt that if competitive examinations were introduced —-as proposed by our correspondent ‘‘Ob- server’—lIslanders would soon, instead of having only one or two good offices, have all the first-class positions in the Civil Service in Canada. By all means let com- petitive examinations be introduced, and merit be the test for promotion.

Government Pond.

Ovr attention has been directed to the filthy state of ‘‘Government Pond.” The water is said to be thick with the debris of tanneries and the offal of the neighborhvod. At times, we are told, “‘it stinks abomin- ably.” Inthe United States sucha pond would speedily be transformed into a thing of beauty to be enjoyed by citizens. We shali see whether or nut our civic authori- ties will even take the trouble to have it cleaned out.

Trains Late.

A PASSENGER on the Western Train this forenoon complains that the trains arrived in this city ‘‘ forty-three minutes behind time,” and that day after day trains are late simply because the Superintendent will not allow them to make up, between the stations, the time necessarily jost in shunting, etc., at the stations. These delays are the more annoying, as even when running according to the time table, trains travel at the rate of only about thirteen miles an hour. To a passenger pottering along at this rate it doubtless seems that the time lost at stations (if not too long), might be made up on the road. In accordance with the wishes of the passengers we call Mr. Archibald’s attention to this grievance, feeling confident that he will promptly remedy it if possible.

A Suggestion.

To the Editor of the Eximiner

As the Government seems to have some trouble in filling the office of Collector of Custom at the Port‘of Turonto, it has been suggested that the difficulty might be solv- ed by the appointment ef Mr. Richard Hunt er Mr. Colin McLellan, of this Pro- vince. There is little doubt that either of these genilemen would be glad to accept the appointment; and it is certain that either of them knows as much about the trade and the peeple of Toronto as the re- cently appointed Superintendent (good rail- way man as he is reported to be) knows about the people of the Island and the pe- culiar circumstances to which the Railway management must be adapted. Let us have Reciprocity between the Provinces, Down with jug-handled equality !

: WE are giad to find, after perusing the new Calendar of King’s College, N. 3., that the curriculum has been raised to a level with the best Universities. It is a pity that such a venerable institution should lack enough funds to obtain a Professor of acknowledged name aod merit, such as Dawson, Max Muller, Towatt or Blackie.

bers the adoption of a system of gratuitous land ¢ ynpulsory primary education. W ith evard to the laws on associations they are iso long that they will not be laid before the ‘Chambers this session. The new laws for | | the regulation of the press will also be arg- | fed upon the representative bodies ; but 80 long as the old form of legislation exists it will be rigidly adhered to.

» Senate ivote with as general financial tariff, the being desirous to conclude commercial trea- ties with all nations before the dissolution in October next. As regards foreign affairs France is at peace with all the world, and the Government entertain strong hopes that the Eastern question will be settled in accordance with the Berlin treaty. No mention whatever is made of Greece. In conclusion the government does not pre- tend to put forward a pompous programme of fallacious promises, but all its promises it will endeavor to carry out. The govern- ment asks the majority to grant it entire confidence and to follow it faithfully. The extreme Left will immediately after the reading of this speech raise a debate upon it, which will be postponed until Thursday.

TROUBLED IRELAND.

The Edinburgh Scotmon’s correspondent vouches for the truth of the statement that the Irish magistrates, by a large majority, have deprecated exceptional legislation before ordinary law had been tried, and that only the Mayo and Galway magistrates are in favor of the suspension of the habeas corpus act. A despatch from Dublin says : ‘Mr. Dillon, solicitor for the defence, has entered a formal appearance in the Court of Queen’s Bench for the indicted agitators. (he Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland have adopted a resSlution to combat agitation by all the means in their power.”

It was reported that a body of Ulster men had been seen marching this morning from Westport to the house of Mr. Boycott, the Ballinrobe farmer for whose relief an expedition is being equipped in this city. The Land League and local papers have had no confirmation of the ramor. Your correspondent called this afternoon on the editor of the Lwpress, the paper which has organized the expedition, and was informed that it was to consist of a hundred men, who had already been selected and were ready to start. The Government had some days ag® written to Mr. Boycott asking the number of men he needed, and Mr, Boy- cott replied that he wanted twenty, think ing that nuuber sufficient to secure the crops, if they could remain a week ora

fortnight. The government therefore re fused permission for a hundred. The editor of the Express states thatthe men

comprising the expedition could not remain more than three or four days, and it was therefore necessary to send more than twenty. Moreover, they had no confidence in the constabulary. The force ought to be strong enough to protect itself. Part would have to guard the actual workers, and also would have to stand guard at

night. The government had again written to Mr. Boycott about the number he needed, and much would depend on his,

second reply. The editor of the Hepress states that the expedition which originated through its columns is entirely distinct | from a movement subsequently started in} the north for the same purpose, and adds that itis the rashness of the northern movement that caused the government to become frightened and stop the other expedition.

The district of Ballyrobin is wildly ex- cited over the Boycott affair. Intimidation | isrampant. Car owners refused to supply | cars tp the police protecting Mr. Boycott. ’ At the meeting of the Land League in this city yesterday, the Secretary stated that 136 new branches were established last A commission was appointed by the League on the defences of British harbors. Parnell will attend a monster land league meeting next Sunday, at Tullamore, King’s County. The organ of the Vatican publish- ed in Rome, says: *‘ In consequence of! the insupportable state of Irish peasantry the people must shake off these oppressors. The crimes committed in Ire- lund are not attributable to the Land Le: « gue. Radical reforin is indispensable, other- wise Ireland wiil be compelled to choose between anarchy and starvation.”

SPAIN AND THE EXPELLED FRENCH MONKS,

, ‘ ir WCC.

Our Madrid correspondent telegraphs as follows :—‘** The expelled French monks are flocking here. Nobles are offering them their palaces, tewn councils are giv- ing them old convents and vacant build-| ings, the Kiug 1s granting them interviews and the Ministry is authorizing the Jesuits and other orders to establish themselves in Madrid and all over the Kingdom. Con- servative and liberal journals here equally condemn the measures of the French gov- ernment. Castelar, to the surprise of every one, has just published severe stric- tures on the conduct of Gambetta, whom he accuses of liaving dictated the course of the government from behind the scenes. Castelar is unsparing in his denunciation of radicalism. He told me yesterday that he inclines to the views of Jules Simon. He aided, emphatically :~.‘I blame the blind obstinacy of Gambetta, because the same intransigeant violence of our Spanish fed- erals caused the ruin of the Spanish Re- public in 1873.’ ”

GREEK VOLUNTEERS.

In accordance with the request of the Greek government, the Greek Committee at Bucharest have discontinued the des- patch of volunteers, as 16,000 have already been enrolled in Greece. The Roumanian ; subscriptions in aid of Greece, which are increasing, will be applied to armaments and to the formation of ambulance corps.

THE NIHILIST TRIALS.

A despatch from St Petersburg to the Daily News says: “ At the trial before the military tribunal all the Nihilist prisoners acknowledged belonging to the revolution- ary party. QOne,named Sheraieff, admitted that he participated in the preparation of the mine under the railway at Moscow in December, 1879, and two others recounted the proceedings in connection withthe mine on the Simpheropol Railway.” Another despatch from St. Petersburg says: ‘* The political trials which have been proceeding at Kharkof for the iast six days were con- cluded to-day. Three of the accused have been exiled and four sentenced to various

terms of imprisonment.” ——i ©. aE -

Love’s Last Adieu.

The roses of love glad the garden of life, Though nurtured mid weeds dropp.ng pestilent dew, Till time crops the leaves with unmerciful knife,

Or prunes them forever in love’s last adieu.

Oh! marked you yon pair in the sunshine of youth, Love twined round their childhood his flowers as they grew; They flourished awhile in the season of truth, Till chilled by the winter of love’s last adieu

Youth flies, life decays, even hope is o’ercast; No more with love’s former devotion we sue. lie spreads his young wing, he retires with the blast, The shroud of affection is love’s last adieu. Lord Byron. ‘
