Tuat the ExamMINeR is a contemptible | journal ; that it cannot compare with its) contemporary in appearance, in enterprise, | and in ability, is a source of great satisfac- tion to the editor of the Patriot. And lest those who have not the chance of reading both papers might hold the awful opinion tiat the Examtner had some claims to pub- lic support, they are often furnished with the announcement given above. And the pleasing remark is added in this morning’s issue, that its readers, if they appreciate its articles, must be little short of idiots. Another spring of joy to the self-satisfied editor is his belief that nearly all the brains—the mind of the country, are to be found in the Liberal ranks. The only merit the Conservatives can lay claim to is a flippant acquaintance with ‘‘transparent fallacies.” Mr. Colby’s speech, we are told, was the only one worth listening to, and init the Editorial Correspondent of the Patriot saw little alarm at the serenity of Mr. Pope is man of no*stand- ing at Ottawa.

They did not reiard the work of the session with silly speeches, They earned their money by their votes ; and why should they not earn it with as little toil and in as short a time as possible? But the third and deepest feuntain of gladness to our contemporay is his profound conviction that all the offices of the country are in the hands of his fami- liar friends.

POLITICAL NOTES.
Sir John A. McDonald is in Kingston. Both sides are very active Im Canvassing, and the Conservatives anticipate a larger majority than they have had for many years.
The Premier's Secretary has addressed letters to Ministerialists, advising them to be on the ‘‘alert” as the elections are likely to come off at once. General elections are expected before the end of June.
At a meeting of the Liberal-Conservative Party in King’s County, Nova Scotia, D. B. Woodworth, Esq., was nominated to the Dominion Parhament, and Messrs. Hill and MeDonald for the Local Heuse. The meet- ing was most enthusiastic, and everything indicates the return of the whole ticket by an overwhelming majority.

We are told that the annual outlay of the wesent Governmeet is only a ‘‘ few thou sands” more than that of the late Govern- nent—and this contention involves the ne- sessity of our Grit friends taking the excep- ional year 1873-4. The expenditure of {(S76-7, according to the Pubhie Accounts, was $23.519,301; but it must be remember- ad that this sum has been increased by a estimate amounting to 4848,290.

According to Mr. Cartwright’s book- keeping the expenditure for 1873-4 (a year luring eight months of which the Grit Gov- ernment was in office) was $23,316,316. But per se it is not a correct statement, and
‘for purposes of comparison it 1s valueless.
It contains, for instance, an item of $545,- 625 for new rolling stock and snow sheds on the Intercolonial Railway, which in previous years were charged to capital account, and have been so charged since. Then there were other exceptional items, as follows :-

a@ Wedo not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions or statements of our Correspondents
To the Editor of the Examiner :
Str,—Two letters appeared in your paper of the 12th, over the signatures of ‘‘ Free Trade” and ‘‘ Fair Play,” so that my remarks will apply to both of those anonymous persons.
1 did not intend to reply to those letters on account of their disguised characters. I hke to see a man put his name to his letters, that I may know him when I meet him. He is too much of the coward otherwise. Both writers seem to attack my views on self -protection,and charge me with inconsistency for not wearing home manufactured clothing, and shoes, and boots, and flour and cornmeal. Very good, sir. I have always been consistent in this; and, with regard to flour, it 1s very well known that our Island does not produce wheat enough to make anything like flour enough for its support. If it did, as far as I am con- cerned, I never would import gue single barrel from any other place.
I have already stated that I have been con- sistent in those other things, such as boots, shoes and clothing. My rule is to import what cannot easily be got here; and what cannot be got here, certainly, must be imported.
I want to point out some of the evils attend- ing my opponent’s views of buying where you can, and making the best of your money. ‘The Ist is: everythimg imported from the Do- minion is paid for incash sent off, and a very small chanceever toreturn. The flour trade is a heavy draw-back. Wecan’t helpit. But the importation of furniture and many other things, we can very well do without; and, not only this, but it tends to sap the very founcla- tion of our city factories and mechanics. This is the very blast, that is blighting our city at this very moment.
The Government has taken the same stand that these anonymous writers have, and have given their work to strangers, leaving their
their faces towards poverty. No man now but a foreigner need look for a day’s work. Do you see what it has come to? I would caution you to mind what you ad- vocate, and take care that you are not des- troying the business of your citizens instead of building them up. { remain yours, Cuaries Hearts.

The Frauds to be Investigated.
Tue learned, eloquent and wise Joshua) Billings has truly said, ‘If a man taps his | cider barrel at both ends and draws out of | the bunghole besides, his cider ain’t going | to last long.” This is the position of the Ottawa Government. But they have not; only sucked from the bunghole of the Do- | minion Treasury and tapped it, but they | have knocked the bottom out of it.——Hsse.xr | Times.
The Patriot says ‘‘hostile legislation would not compel the Americans to alter their) tariff in our favor.” Yes, but he commends! us for altering our tariff in their favor on ac- count of their hostile tariff. He says “‘two' can play at that game.” Well, let us play | at it too, then. He says if we put a duty | on Americans ‘‘they would be provoked.” |

THE McCARTHY MURDER.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
We shali not indulge in any eee | ourselves, further than to express a convic- ‘tion that the girl Annie Pas ker is either telling the truth, or that she is possessed of | ‘an evil spirit in the old_ lrestament sense. ‘And this recalls to recollection an event ‘that occurred in this vicinity some twelve, jyears ago. It will be remmeinbered that $wo!
men were tried in our Supreme Court at) that time for the murder of an unknown! jan on the Margaret's Bay Road, The- | principal evidence was » girl who lived at; ithe honse near which the alleged murder iwas said to have been committed. After ‘the arrest of the two men, on her informa- ition, the City Marshal, Detective Hutt, and | | others, went ona tour of invéstigation to! | the spot. They took with thein, from the | | County Jail, the girl who was detained there | las a witness. On the way out, she narrated | }again the whole particulars of the alleged lerime, never varying one iota from her pre-! i vious statements. Arrived at the house, she} jtold how the man, a stranger, had arrived | ithere, how he had got into a dispute with ‘another man, and been struck and killed. She described where the body was hid temporarily, wnder a barn, and then, on a hastily constructed bier, carried across the road and into the woods. Without a mo- ment’s hesitation she pointed out and led in the direction they took. Wherever there was anything suspicious, probes were inserted in the ground, and sheets of water dragged, but no body was found—anyway, the search was necessarily imperfect. The ‘girl on the trial told the same story; but
‘there was nothing to support her tale, and | She appeared |
‘the accused were discharged. to be in her perfect senses, and, as we said before, either told the truth or must have been inspired from demoniac sources; for although perfectly unlettered—unable to read or write, if we remember correctly told what seemed to be a plain unvarnished tale that would puzzle a Digkens, with his wonderful fertility of imagination, to create. And there were one or two partially cor- roborated points, by the way, but not suffi- cient to establish the case apart from her tes-imony, while a/ibis and other defence were brought in. We are not now express- ing an opinion on this matter, which in so brief a time has been almost forgotten; a jury declared the parties innocent, and that isenough. No body was ever found. Had it not been for what we must consider the accidental discovery of McCarthy, in the swirl caused by the movement of logs in the Scadouc, a still deeper mystery would have surrounded the latter's disappearance. —Halifar Recorder.
SuHepiac, May 19th.—Since the depar- ture of the train which has carried away the various counsel and Annie Parker, who has been the leading topic of conversation, the excitement over the McCarthy murder has partially subsided. The inquest having adjourned until Tuesday afternoon, Annie} Parker, whe seemingly has very few sym- pathizers here, is now confined in Hampton jail. While giving her testimony sho was very jolly, and by her pert remarks and un- feeling witicisms made considerable mirth for the spectators and the court. The ‘© little witch,” as many called her, was clad in a brown suit, and from under her white straw gipsey hat hung her hair in stream- ing ringlets. A broad white lace tie over whichasmaller pink one covered her pearly, white neck. Annic is fair complexioned, and was flushed in the face while giving her evidence. She is short in stature, and has a waddling walk. But most remark- able is her dark eye. It is jet black, and the eye-lids seem to be of the same hue, shaded by the jetness of the pupil. By many the orb is termed treacherous. —She- diac Correspondence of the Globe.
