The Riel Vote.

An Ottawa correspondent, comment- ing on the Riel vote, writes :—

“Your Island Yeo left the House inthe slyest kind of a way, accompanied by McIntyre. and one Me Mullen from Ontario, amid the hootings of the House. Apparently McIntyre (Dr.) intended to doas Yeo did, but on second thoughts returned to the House and voted with the “bolters.” It is worthy of remark that not only is he member from your Isiand who voted that way, but he is the only Scotch or Irish Catholic who supported

the motion condemning the Government for allowing Riel to be hung. It is admitted ongall sides that Blake, owing to his course onthe Mel

agitation, has played himself out in more places than Ontario. Ex-Premier McKenzie stood up like a little man with the Government, for which he received a right royal cheer from the Govern- ment side of the House, Blake looked sour and crestfallen, as one after another of his followers stood up and voted squarely against him. How will the Grits down your way reconcile the fact that Davies voted one way, McIntyre the other way, and Yeo no way atall? It is evident that they all didn’t do right.”

“The Crushing Defeat.

Ar no time within the last twelve years have the prospects of the Grit party looked gloomier than at the pres- ent moment. Some supposed that the Opposition, aided by the “ bolters,” could defeat the Government. ‘The folly of such a supposition is now made clear. To the most obtuse it is now evident that the * Race and Revenge” party is likely to prove most disastrous to the Grit ranks. The Montreal Star, (independent, though formerly decidedly gritty) thus discusses the situation :—

“* There must be considerable self-reproach this morning among the Ontario Liberal members who allowed themselves to be trapped into accepting the scatfold of Regina as their political platform. Their crashing defeat last night in the House of Commoas is bat a foretaste of a worse fate to come whenthey meet their constituents. It is doubtful if even success in the attack on the Gov- ernment would have reconciled the Ontario Lib- erals to the alliance between their representatives and the National Party. Certainly nothing less would. With every desire to be charitable, it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that many of the members who voted for Mr. Landry’s motion did so against their own convic- tions or with the conviction that it is the duty of a@ good Liberal to vote against a Conservative Government on all occasions. They have, in fact, sold themselves and at a very low price. The Liberal party asa party is not compromised, but asa party it will suffer Ccanse the prestige of its leader is much weakened. ‘To-day the Govern- ment is relatively stronger for the Riel agitation. Not because it has been supported by such a rare majority as 94, but because it has drawn the oppo- sition into a wretchedly weak position. «ir.

Government four per cent per annum, the difference to go into a sinking fund to meet bad debts, the cost of collection and so forth. The measure as outlined in the /reeman’s Journal is so vastly differ- ent from the one attributed by certain Radicals and Tories to Mr. Gladstone as to occasion astonishment. The present bill does not compel an exodus of Evglishmen from Ireland; it simply enables the Government in a gradual and reasonable way, without increasing the public burdens or running the risk of loss, to adjust the conflict of interest between the peasantry and land owners of Ireland, enabling those who find residence in Ireland desirable to remain there as long as they please, and enabling those who find it otherwise to leave with- out suffering injustice. An Islander’s Invention.

An illustration of a newly-patented

armor vessel occupies a prominent place

is apt to be passed over by us without any particular notice. A perusal of the article in connection with it will, how- ever, show that the invention is by Wm. N. LePage, now of Gloucester, Mass., whom we all remember as a boy— “clever enough for anything ’’—in the London House. So, the inventor of Lo- Page’s Liquid Glue is also the inventor of an armor which may yet prove an important factor in the wars of nations! That it is deemed worthy of illustra- tion aod description by the best scientific journal in America, is at least a good beginning for it. The object of the inveution isto provide an armor which shall combine the advantages of a yield- ing, hard and tough substance, through which shot wlll not peuetrate. The Scientific American explains that —

“The armor can be formed of any desired thick- ness by alternating one, two, or more layers of plates made of steel or iron with a cement com- posed of asbestos, glue, hair and cork, covering the outside with a plate of chilled steel, and inter- posing springs between the hull and plating thus formed. The engraving represents three layers of plates separated by two of cement or composi- tion: The space occupied by the springs is made air-tight, thus forming an air cushion whose elas- ticity materially assists that of the springs in re- sisting the shock.

“The shot, when striking the chilled steel coat- ing, will glance off the hardness of the metal and the yielding of the armor preventing it from gaining any hold. Striking the armor at right angles, the shot will be seriously obstructed in penetrating the steel coating, and in penetrating the layers of plates beneath it will be m effectually obstructed on account of the cepyént, which prevents the plates from flying in jieces, and offers great resistence in itself on ac¢pynt of its combined hard, fibrous and elastic patise, In addition to the resisemet° thus obtained, the

Blake’s course has disappointed many of his friends. Had Sir John been in his place nobody would have expected his political principles <o outweigh a party exigency, but there were thyu- sands who axpected better things of Mr. Blake.”

“Truth” Abovt Blake.

Toronto Truth, a paper by no means friendly to the present Administration gives no uncertain sound on the Riel question. We may remark that The Truth has hitherto expressed unbounded confidence in the Grit leader, Edward Blake. That confidence, it will be seen, has been rudely shaken. The Grit camp is just now in great trouble over the oo (to them) flooring situation.

hether Mr. Blake resigus the leader- ship or not, there is one thing certain, and that is, that the Grit party is fast falling to pieces under his generalship. The fact is, he is now receiving from the hands of his own followers, the chastise- ment which he deserves. That party has been going from bad to worse ever since he so ungratefully supplanted Mr. McKenzie in the leadership.

In concludiog an article on the Riel vote, Truth says of Blake :

The most serious phase of the matter is the speech made by Mr. Blake. Once more he shows that his individual strength of will and sense of rectitude is not proof agW st the influence of his followers, Fancy him, the able, the high-minded, the unimpeachable, standing upin the House of Commons seeking by every sort of argument, weighty and trivial, by fact and fancy, to prove that Riel’s sanity was not established, and that in hanging him the executive was gui'ty of judicial murder! The Globe glories in the spectacle ; but surely all impartial men will find in their hearts no feelings but sorrow and shame. One could not feel the degradation in the same way had the offender been almost any other public man in Can- ada ; but Edward Blake, who has never failed us before in the supreme moment, to show now, at such an hour as this, that his feet are made of clay, is a sad and painful reflection indeed.

Outline of Gladstone's Irish Bill.

The Dublin /’reeman’s Journal states that the Irish land bill which Mr. Glad stone will propose does not, as has been stated, involve either a compulsory pnr- chase or the advance of any specified sum from the [Imperial Treasury. What the measure will exact will be the right of any owver of land in Ireland to claim from the Government of Ireland, after Home Rale has been granted, the privi- lege of being bought out at a sam _ regu- lated by law. says, will be arrived at by multiplying the amonnt of the rent where it is judi- cially fixed, or of a fair rent when it is not rated judicially, for a term of years to be agreed upon by Parliament. all cases where the Owners put in such

y' >idire cf of outer portion of the armor the —— of the heavy springs and of the con- fined air serves to prevent great penetratic 3, and the shot is brought to rest before it reach the hull of the vessel or face of the fort. The §ayers of cement prevent the plates from cracking fora great distance when struck, and, in case of boats, a the water from reaching the side of the

ull through breaks in the outer layers of armor.

“The small sectional view shows a modification in which the spiral springs—shown in the large view between the wooden and outside plating— are replaced by bolts, the heads of which are covered by the thick outside plating of steel, and the shanks are split and then curved to form — springs, which press against the inner plate. This construction is designed to more surely bind together the plates and their separat- ing material, without in any degree affecting the strength or elasticity of the structure, as the springs tend, after the plating has been struck and bent, to force the plates back to their origin- al position.

“It is claimed that this plating can be advan- tageously applied to the forts of this country, the walls of which would serve merely as a founda- tion upou which to secure the plates. The springs, by serving to distribute the shock overa large area, would render unnecessary the rebuilding of the walis, which, to serve this purpose, now possess ample strength. It is also claimed that, considering the results to be obtained by render- ing the now useless defence useful, ‘this method —_ _be more economically applied than any other,”*

—It is said that two teaders from this Island have been received at Ottawa for cruisers to protect the fisheries. This Island has the men, as well as the vessels, suitable for coast police service. Our fishermen know the coast, under- stand seining as well as sailoring, to say nothing of their pluck, if troubles should arise. We hope that fact may not be forgotten when manning the crafts.

LETTERS TH THE EDITOR.

The Water Question,

Sir,—It seems that some two or three officials connected with the outside service of the Customs Department, have devoted their spare time to the discussion of civic politics, more especially in relation to the water question. As a matter of fact, one of those gentlemen, over his own signature, gave the public the benefit of his researches as to the best method, in his opinion, for the City Council to act; and even went so far as to hawk about for signatures a peti- tion to the Council on this subject, the ten- dency of which was to obstreet rather than strengthen the hands of those who really desire to see a supply of pure water intro- duced.

However laudable it may be,—not to say amusing—-for those officials to exercise their peculiar talents in any way which seems best to themselves, they should remember the well kuown couplet, that

‘‘Now God be praised! I will die in. peace.” These were the last words of the | gallant Wolfe as he lay mortally and thrice woundedon the plains of Abraham, when he heard one of his attendants cry out that the enemy ran and gave way every where. The long and terrible wars between the English and French in America were draw- ing to aclose. Five days after this, on the 18th September, 1759, Quebeo surrendered and the British troops marched into the town and took possession. In the previous year Louisbourg fell, and along with it Cape Breton and Isle St. Jean(P. E. L.) were given up. Finally, Montreal sur- rendered to General Amherst on the 8th September, 1760, when, by the terms of Capitulation, the whole of Canada passed to the British Crown. Peace between the two nations was concluded on the 10th of February, 1763. On the fall of Louisbourg, Lord Rollo, with the 35th regiment and two battalions of the Sixtieth, was sent to Isle St. Jean where he received the submission of the inhabitants and tried to remove them, but with small success, for out of more than four thousand he could catch but seven hundred. According to Admiral Boscawen’s official report the inhabitants were then as follows ‘

The Admiral’s letter further contains ‘that by the best accounts he can get, the Island of St. John (P. E. I.) has been the only supply for Quebee of corn and beef since the war, except what has been brought from Europe, having at present above 10,000 horned cattle; and many of the inhabitants declare that they grow, each of them, 1,200 bushels of corn annually. They have no other market for it but Quebec. It has been an asylum for the French in- habitants from Nova Scotia ; and from this Island has been constantly carried on the inhuman practice of killing the English inhabitants of Nova Scotia, for the sake of carrying their scalps to the French, who pay for the same. Several scalps were found in the Governor's quarters when Lord Rollo took possession.”

By a proclamation dated St. James, 7th October, 1763, King George 3rd, with the advice of the Privy Council, annexed the islands of St. John and Cape Breton with the lesser islands adjacent thereto to the Government of Nova Scotia, In the fol- lowing year the British“agvernment

and owing to contrary winds she only ar- rived at the north-west part of the Island on the Sth October. As might be expected Capt. Holland had at this time no clear conception as to the size of the Island, or the number of its bays and rivers. Being assured by an Acadian guide on board the vessel that it was only 18 leagues (54 miles) to Fort Amherst, he landed a party in charge of Lieut. Haldimand with one week’a pro- visions bat no boat, to survey along the coast to Port la Joie (Ch’town Harbor). On the arrival of the vessel there, two days after, Captain Holland found he had been deceived by his guide as to the distance,and sent Lieut. Robinson and Mr. Wright with a small boat and provisions, to survey and try to meet them, but again having receiv- ed further information as to the bays and inlets to be passed, he applied to Captain Hill, the commanding officer at Fort Am- herst, to send a small schooner belonging to ths fort with sailed immediately, but was lost in a storm fear where Lieut. Robinson was. The men were saved with as much provisions as enabled both parties to return to the Fort. and his party were in great distress, hav- ing been for three days without provisions. Capt. Holland had previously applied to

small ones, manned with seamen from the Canceaux, to assist in the survey and soundings, but he was told by this com- mander that his orders were to carry him with the ship where he desired, and that

miralty to make observations and survey himself, and that he could give neither boats nor men. Holland thought this very odd, as he considered the ship

A Landlord of the Right Stamp.

The following extract from a letter to Hector McMillan, Esq., of Pictou, N. 8.,

Island from Colonsay in the year 1806, will be read with interest by Highlanders and their descendants generally :

none of these quarrels in Colonsay,

oppressed or harrassed in any way. We are free

decided upon having a survey made of hese newly-acquired possessions, Accordingly, Captain Samuel Holland,who had served in the army at the sigge of Louisbourg, received a commissioy from the King, on the 23cd March, as Serveyor General, ‘‘for making an accurate siyvey of the northern district upon thé Continent of America,” and wag. receive his instructions from ® Lords Commissioners of Trades and Plantations. By these instructions this district was to comprehend ‘all His Majesty’s territories in North America which lie to the north of the Potomac River aud of aline drawn due west from the head of the main brauch of that River, as far as His Majesty's dominions extend.” The Island of Cape Bretom, St. John’s and the Madelaines being of the greatest importance with respect to the fishery, were to bo surveyed first, beginning with St. John’s and the Madelaines. The in- structions further state that in the survey ‘*the greatest precision and exactness will be required and expected, the latitudes and longitudes of the most important places must be settled by just astronomical obser- vations, the depths of water and soundings, as well on the coast as within the harbors, must be taken with the greatest care, and every remark made which can tend to the security and information of such of His Majesty’s subjects as may navigate those seas.” A full report, giving a careful de- scription of the country and its capabilities, was to accompany the msp. It was also pointed out how the Island was to be divided, and approximately what should be the area of the townships, parishes and counties. Lieutenants Robinson, Haldi- mand and Carleton, and Mr. Thomas Wright (afterwards Surveyor-General of P. E. Island), were appointed Assistant Surveyors to accompany Capt. Holland, and as soon as the vessel assigned for the service was ready, he was to embark for Quebec, preparatory to entering upon the survey. This vessed, called ‘‘ the armed vessel Canceaux,” was apparently a mer- chant vessel of 200 tons, armed for the occasion and manned with 40 men, and was commanded by Lieut. Henry Mowatt. They most likely sailed from Portsmouth, for we find them passing through the Needles of the Isle of Wight on 26th May. Oathe Llith July they had arrived near Scatara, Cape Breton, when a thick fog coming in, which Capt. Holland informs us ‘*had like to prove fatal to us all. The fog was excessive thick, and all on a sudden, when we expected the least, we were sur- prised with the report of a musket, and the poople crying out ‘ breakers ahead ’ within acable’s length of us An open fishing boat (the first we had seen since our depar- ture from England, and which Providence pat in our way,) apprised us of our danger, and we had just time tostear clear of them.” In the River St, Lawrence they met with gales and head winds, and being anxious to deliver his despatches to General Murray, Capt. Holland left the ship on the 19th July, accompanied by Lieut. Robinson, one of his assistants, and Capt. Hope and Mr. Lodbiniere, two passengers, set out in a six oared open boat, in which they pro- eeeded for some distance ; he then tried horseback, but finding their horses had much to do to get through the mud and swamps they took an Indian canoe with two Canadians to paddle them, and lastly they procured caleches and arrived in Quebec on) the 2nd Angnat, ten days ahead of the Oanceaux. General Murray supposing him lost, was much pleased with hia arrival and a few days afterwards appointed him one of His Majesty’s Council for Quebec. Here Capt. Holland met Capt. Dean, of the ermaid, who had that summer been on the Island and told him that it would be necessary to take all sorta of msterials and provisions with them, as there was nothing left on the Island but a detachment posted at Fort Amherst, who were indifferently provided, and could not

it will be remembered that Sir John McNeill, the kaird of Colonsay, whose pame is mentioned in the above letter, was equerry to the Princess Louise during her stay in Canada. He was Aide-de-camp to Sir John Young, Governor General of Cauada, afterwards Lord Lisgar when here in the year 1866, and he recently held a commind under Lord Wolseley in the Sou- dan. The family of McNeill, of Colonsay, has furnished to the British empire many eminent individuals, who have done honor to their country in the legal profession, in the military, engineering and diplomatic departments, and the present Laird of Col- onsay, General McNeill, worthily repre- sents his distinguished ancestry, while his humane treatment of his tenants, on the dear old Island of Colonsay, shows that he possesses the patriarchal charac teristics of the genuine Highland proprietor.

The Tracadie Lspers.

The Chaplain of the Lazaretto, at Traca- cadie, N. B., who is at present in Ottawa urging the Government to increase the annual grant to that institution reports that of late, owing to complete isolation, the acquirement of leprosy by inheritance is fast decreasing, and a generation cr two more will witness its virtual extermin- ation. At present, the inmates number about 24; the females, strange to say, being in the mej rity. Frequently dur- ing the experience of the chaplain the number has been larger. The oldest inmate, who is now upward of 70 years of age, has dragged out his miserable existence there since 1840, the year the lazaretto was established. The chaplain says there are several cases under treatment, in which the fingers and toes and arms are decayed at the joints and dropped off. Many of the imprisoned ones are confined to bed, being unable to move about on their decayed stumps.

Irish dairy farmers are almost in a state of panic over the fast growing gloomy pro. spects of the butter season. As an instance of the disappearance of profitfrom the pro- duction of Irish butter, it may be stated that the wholesale price of the best Danish butter fellin the London market a few days ago to a trifle above eleven pence per pound, its lowest price in the Danish mar- kets being 9} pence a pound. With the best Danish production within reach of al- most all classes of purchasers, common Irish butter, which usually fetches only about half the price of the third quality of “ Danish products, can of course find no sails.
