To the Editor of the Examiner. | Sir, -In your paper announcing the de- inise of the late Lieut.-Governor Dundas, you say that the award of the Land Com- missioners, in 1860, was set aside by means of the influence of the Proprietors with the Home Government. This statement is a great error on your part, and on the part ofany person who may make it. The Award was illegal aud inequitable, insomuch as? it greatly exceeded and went beyend the powers of the Commissioners. They were appeinted te do a certain thing, which they found it impossible te do. Instead of frankly avowing and confessing this, they referred, or rather. transferred, to parties unknown, that which they, the Cémmissioners, had been. ap- pointed te do, and authorised to do by the late Sir Samuel Cunard, and certain other Proprieters, whe were se ill advised as to concur with him in his assent te the Commission. Upon this illegal transfer, the Proprietors applied to the British Government, and the justice ef that Government set aside the Award of the Commissioners. Lerd Carnarvon, speaking in the House ef Lerds, appeared to confound the Commission with the ‘Tenant League, its natural offspring. His Lordship (if his speech were reported correctly) was not far wrong after all, for the two were, as Colman has it, ‘* Like two single gentlemen rolled inte one!” Then, in 1875, came the crowning measnre of the Land Purchase Act ; so that how, as ** vacnus viator, cante,” because I have nothing else to do Some of the writings of the Commissioners have in- spired me with a poetic, or doggrellic, afflatus :— Strip the ‘‘ poisoned garments” off each ten- ants back !

The Cost of Future Wars.

Each a small

How ruinous future wars will be judged frem the remarks made by a recent French writer on the cost of an Infantry division, which he roughly sets down at £2,000 a day. France has forty divisions, without counting her Cavalry divisions and Rifle batallions, and consequently on a war foot- ing they would cost £80,000 per diem, or £2,400,000 a month. But in the event of the Territorial Army being called out, fand of eighteen new army corps being formed, the above expense would be doubled. Ner would these figures really represent the sacrifices to which the country would be ex- posed, When war breaks ont the inciden- tal expenses is enormons ; immense prices have tobe paid for articles and fer ser- vices. immediately required. There is great waste, trade and commerce come toa stand still, numerous branches of industry are ruined, public securities fall, and alto- gether the picture of modern war, with its frightful material losses, is depicted in colors so gloomy, that one almost longs to go back to the days of limited armies, when compulsory service was not the fashion. rr? --

The wonderful record made by the cel- ered man Hart, in the walking match in New York, which terminated on Saturday night, serves only to exhibit the endurance of which the human body, if properly cared fer, is capable. But no beneficial result is attained by the sport, and the marvel is that several thousand peuple can be got to- gether at this day to watch the tedious monotony of the tramp. Walking matches extending over six days cempel too severe a strain upon the system te be of any good services in physical development ; more than one man has breken €ewn and died from the fatigue undergone en the track, and none who engage in a series of matches can hope to come through them with vigor and strength unimpaired. But while the pub- lie supports and applauds, there will be no lack of aspirants fer the gate money, and we may look for another grand inter- national contest shortly between the African champion ef the United States and the English walkers Rowell and Brown.

Mr. Charles Stewart Parnell may justly consider himself one of the most justly hon- ored men of the nineteenth century, he having been elected in three constituencies —Cork, Meath, and Mayo. Prominent public men are often elected for two con- stituencies, as in the case of Mr. Gladstone, in Leeds and Midlothian, and Lerd Hart- ington, in Radner Burghs and Lancashire, at the late election; but to be honored with the confidence of three>constitvencies is an event that eccurs but few times in a century. ir. Parnell will probably sit for Mayo.

The City of Quebec has a debt of $4,580,- 000. Debt is, net prosperity in this in- stance, as a focal paper says the eity is bankrupt, and is sadly in want of street repairs, etc.
