“Wrong Again.”

Tur Patriot is at great pains to show that Tar Examiner’s statement respecting the Custom’s difficulty is not in accordance with the facts.

Now, the fact is that Inspector Kerr’s order that all goods should be appraised, was countermanded on Tvespay, the 18th October ; and the Merchants’ meeting was held on Tuurspay, the 20th October. This fact can be established by any one who will take the trouble to call at the Customs House.

The reason of the telegram of the Minis- ter of @ustoms to Mr. Wolff, was explained in Taz Examiner last evening. The Min- ister was in Manitoba during the excite-

sut here about the appraisement order ; and it is not likely that he ever heard of it antil he read, in Tue Examryer, the re- port of the Merchants’ meeting. Knowing nothing of the order he, of course, knew

no‘hing about its being counter- manded-—and- so _ telegraphed. Mr. Bowell has, perhaps, a grim pleasure

in sometinies snubbing a blundering mem- ber of the Opposition in Parliament ; but we are sure that he would be one of the last of men to snub a body of respectable merchants such as those of Charlottetown— the Putrict to the contrary notwithstand-

ing.

The Liberal-Conservative Victory in Halifax. '

Tue Halifax Herald is naturally jubilant over the victory which it did much to ob- tain. In its commentary on the morning after the election, it says :—

‘‘The Liberal-Conservative party went into the contest under several disadvan- tages, This constituency was the first city constituency opened since the adoption of the new tariff’ The, Opposition press labored zealously and unscrupulously for eight months, to arouse prejudice against that highly necessary measure, and to mis- represent it in all conceivable ways. In an- nouncing Mr. Archibald’s candidature, the leading organ of his party boldly staked the result of the contest on that issue ; and, though only a local election, Mr. Stair’s friends were compelled to accept the gage. The Local Government had just passed a sweeping measure of Reform, in the system of County Government and the distribution road moneys. Both measures were made the theme of countless false- hoods and endless demagogueism. The county was flooded with lying circulars, and and scoured from end to end by character- less Opposition agents, the burden of whose song was ever the dreary refrain of ‘‘ increased taxation.” Added to these disadvantaves, the Dominion Govern- ment had in the interests of economy been compelled to dismiss a large number of men from their employ in the Railway and other Departments, and both Govern- ments had been compelled to resist nota little pressure for the removal of Grit par- tizan office holders.

But notwithstanding all these serious and embarrassing difficulties, Mr. Stairs has been electet by a larger majority than that by which the county was carried on the memorable seventeenthof September, 1878 ! The National Policy has been enthusiastic- aily endorsed by the largest and wealthiest constituency in the Dominion of Canada. The policy aud measures of the Local Gov- ernment have been emphatically approved of by a county that contains nearly ong- sixth of the population of the Province ! The false and malicious slanders which the Grit party have been for the past year pub- lishing and circulating, have been answered in such a way as tocover their authors with confusion, and—if it were possible—with shame. And Annandism, with its load of guilt and «disgrace has been stamped out once more by the ‘righteous indignation of a people too long the victims ef its decep- tion and its pillage.”

Tue Paris (lobe, in a review of the cmmer- cial and industrial position of the French me- tropolis, states that during the last fortn ght 1,203 emigraats from Paris left Havre for the United States. Notwithstamding this fact, re- ‘ae are _penerally favorable, and in many

ranches of Varisian trade it is said the hands are working overtime. In the porcelain'trade, for instance, business is reported very brisk aul in active export movement to Chili, Para- guay, Brazil, Mexico and China prevails. The state of trade in all branches is rapidly improv- ius, anda large proportioa of Parisian com- mercial houses report that an important revi- vai of trade is asserting itself.

A Chamber of Horrors.

Hoe was a highly imaginative gentleman who,on leaving the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court to-day dubbed it a “‘Chamber of Horrors.” Rather rough, we should say, on the visitors, saying nothing about the Mayor, the Magistrate, and unusual num- ber of lawyers in attendance. The dock, however was overcrowded, and some of the accused were obliged to take seats with the spectators. The Butcher assault case oc- pied the time of the Court until one o'clock. It has developed into a complicated case. The prisoners are now being tried separate, and, owing to this move, the trial has been greatly prolonged. Judgment will not likely be giver until Saturday. John Smith was tried for being drunk and incapable. ‘The officer who arrested him said he came to the station last night stupidly drunk and had to be locked up for safety. John has not appeared at Court for eleven months, and was therefore let off with one dollar or four days. Charles Slate appeared on com- plaint of his mother for being drunk and disorderly in the house. He received a lecture on the subject, and was afterwards fined $3 and costs or fourteen days. Wil- liam Carroll and Martin Carroll appeared on a warrant issued at the instance of Jean Carroll, the wife of the prisoner William. Mrs. Carroll has not been living with her husband the past six years. He was ship- wrecked last week on the coast of Nova Scotia. On returning’to this city on Tuesday night last, he resolved to pay her a visit and see his little daughter. William gently rapped at the door, which was gently opened. He walked in, and as he did, his beloved grew in rage, shook her fists, and striking a threatening attitude, greeted him with the phrases, “‘Is this you, Fairy Bill? Get out of this. What brings you here?” William shrunk in astonish- ment. Just then a burly looking individual appears on the scene, and William exclaims, ‘Is this big McLeod I hear all the talk about. He is keeping you, is he?’ A confusion of tongues then followed, and William, seeing matters getting rather hot, made an exit “like unte the lightning flash.” William then went to the residence of his friend, Martin, and requested him to accompany him to the house of his former queen. Martin consented. On_ arrival William tapped at the door, and Jane ap- peared in a rage, bearing in her right hand a thick stick. She said, ‘‘Is that you, again, Fairy Bill?’ and, in an attempt to strike William, she struck a child on the head. It screamed ‘“‘I’m_ killed,” and ran from the house, asking to be pro- tected. William then entered, knocked his wife on the floor and _ dislocat- ed her arm. A great commotion ensued on the street, and voices were heard on the street, saying, ‘‘ Go ip, Bill!” During the melee big McLeod escaped to an adjoining house, and it is asserted by witnesses that he carried with him a revolver. William complained at Court of “‘ getting a salute of hot water” on visiting his wife. Martin denied “haying any hand in the matter.” He was acquitted and William was fined $3 and costs, or 13 days, Mar- tin Carroll stood charged with robbing Mr. Duffy, of Fort Augustus, on Pownal Street Tuesday night at half-past ten o'clock. The complaint made by Mr. Duffy was that at the time above stated he was assaulted and dragged along Pownal Street; that his assailants attempted to rob him, and while making the attempt, one of thenr put a knife upon his throat to pre- vent him from calling for help. He be- lieved one of them to be Martin Carroil. Carroll denied the charge, and placed his father on the stand, who swore that Martin was in his house at five or ten minutes past ten on Tuesday night. This was nota sufii- cient alibi, and he was, therefore, re- manded eight days. The parties arrested for robbing George Brown, at the East end are now being examined.

A SUGGESTION WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION.

(To the Editor of the Hxaminer.

Srr,—In the St. John Telegraph of the 24th inst., is a short description of the work being done by the starch factories in the Aroostook district of Maine, It is estimated that 8,000 tons of starch will be made from potatoes there this fall, some of the larger factories running day and night, and using up 2,000 bushels per day. A recent issue of the Z’ele- graph also stated the Maine Sugar-Beet Fac- tory was in active operation and shipping large quantities of the raw sugar in a slushy state, in tanks, to Boston to be refined.

I would beg to suggest that one or to good practical farmers, or say one good hard-headed business man, and one good farmer be empow- ered by the ‘Government to visit Maine, and examine thoroughly the whole subject of starch and eet-sugar, —starting with the method of cultivation and following it out to the manufactured article, with particulars of cost of buildings, machinery, &c. It need not cost more than $200 or $250, and if the commission should result in the starting of two new industries throughout the Island, and secure to the farmers good prices .for their potatoes, &c., independent of outside markets, it will be the best money spent by any govern- ment for a long time. 7.

The ‘“‘Northera Light.”

LETTER FROM ARTHUR IRVING. To the Editor of the Patriot.

Dear Srr,—You spoke of the ‘‘Northern Light” in your paper of the 13th inst., hoping she may be of use in the winter service this winter and not be sent on a wild goose chase as she was last.

The Minister of Marine and Fisheries has decided on her being placed at the Capes routes this winter. He has ordered 400 tons of coal to Cape Traverse for her, which is being landed. I think you will agree with me in saying that Mr. Pope has wisely and very justly concluded on sending her to the Capes. The route is surely entitled to her presence for one winter, and it is expected that she will do some good service. Northeaster’s have always been against her on the Georgetown and Pictou route, but with these winds we think she will keep up the crossing here, North Eastern winds have invariably been the cause of delays to the boats.

Senator Haythorne has taken quite an in- terest in the winter mail crossing. He made enquiries last winter of the parties in charge as to the delays, and I think he is in favor of the ‘‘Northern Light” being placed at Cape Traverse in connection with the ice boats.
