MARCH 18, 1878. No Apology.

Ir needs no necromancer’s art to tell when Louis Henry Davies comes to the rescue of the Patriot—his own obedient sheet. The blow he makes would reveal his identity anywhere. He resembles much the hunted ostrich. He sticks his head into the leading columns of his own journal and imagines that he is safe from detection, and that no one will recognize the outlines of his uncovered portions. Could Mr. Louis Henry divest himself of a portion of his self-conceit—could he even cease for the space of afew hours to think that he was not the foremost man of his age, he might do a great number of things very much bet- ter, and even write editorials without being detected. Here, for example, is the very modest manner in which Mr. Louis Henry Davies speaks of himself. He says :—

“The Examrver, too feeble to make any reply, begs the question and makes an attack utterly uncalled for and unjustitiable—on the Hon. L. H. Davies. We do not intend to make any defence of that gentleman. We leave the editor of the Examiner to the sympathetic companionship of Mr. E. J. Hodgson, that they may each in turn vent their malice and their jealousy. We have no doubt that when Mr. Davies makes up his mind to contest a con- stituency for a seat in the Commons, he will, as he has often done before, give this worthy

air other texts for their songs of lamentation. Neither have we any doubt that when a gentle- man of Mr. Davies’ abilities obtains s seat in the Commons, he will fill the position in such a manner as to bring credit to his country and honor to himself.’

The above passage we present as an em- bodiment of modesty. It reveals the esti- mate in which Louis Henry is held by Louis Henry. To continne, however, the words of the Local Premier, ‘‘ All this is beside the question.”” Let us now see what he has to say on the point at issue. First of all, he tells us he has done a great number of things which he never even attempted. For instance, he says :—

‘*We have shown in the two or three last issues of our paper that Mr. Pope last year voted against a resolution similar to the one which he this year supported. That Mr. Pope argued against a resolution last year which e voted for this year. We have also shown that Mr. Pope voted against and argued against the resolution on the ground that it was a Pro- tectionist resolution. It was also shown that Mr. Pope used arguments last year which re- futed those which this year he put forward to justify him in voting with the Protectionist.”

In the above extract there are four dis- tinct propositions, and each proposition is false. Ist. The Patriot has never shown that Mr. Pope last year voted against a re- solution which he supported this year. 2nd. Mr. Pope did not argue against a resolution last year which he argued in favor of this 3rd. The Patriot has never shown that the re:olutioa proposed by Sir John this Session is identical with the resolutions submitted last year. 4th. It has not yet been shown that Mr. Popes arguments of last year re- fute his arguments of this. Now we may in charity show the Patriot what he needs to do before he can establish any inconsist- ancy against Mr. Pope. First he has to show that Sir John’s resolution submitted to the House this Session is really a Pro- tectionist Resolution. 2nd. That it is identical with the resolutions against which Mr. Pope voted last Session. When our contemporary has_ firmly established these two points, then we will give him credit for having effected something. Vapouring and bounce, how- ever congeninl to the instincts and tempera- ment of our Local Premier, will not always serve his ends,—less assertion and a little more logic would serve him in much better stead.

On Saturday last, we showed what the Globe and George Brown thought of Sir John’s resolution. We give our contem- porary another extract to-day from the same authority, knowing that our Local Premier must regard it with as much respect as a pam Moslem regards the words of the

oram. The Globe says: ‘'Mr. Pope, the champion Free Trader of Prince Edward Island, might safely vote for it (Sir John’s resolution) and boast himself, with perfect consistency, to be the champion Free Trader still.”

As we pointed out on Saturday, the inno- cent little game which Mr. Louis Henry is trying is to undermine Mr. Pope if he can, and so create some chance for himself. He resorts, in order to accomplish this, to slan- der and misrepresentation. We have to-day traced out for him lines which, if he follow,

he will accomplish sumething. We want to/ sq

see how our pupil will execute his task.

Ar the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court this morning, John Whitlock, Joseph Mc- Donald, and Thomas Ryston were arraigned on charge of being concerned in the rob- bery of the estate of the late Hon. Patrick Walker. The City Marshall stated the cause and circumstances of their arrest,and they were remanded to jail until the 21st inst., for further evidence. McDonald was admitted to bail. Frederick Davy was also arraigned for having stolen goods in his procession. The Marshal stated that, on Saturday evening, a quantity of tea, sugar, etc., was found, by the police, on the prem- ises of the prisoner, and that they answer to the description of goods taken from the store of Messrs. Carvell Bros. a short time ago. Davy was remanded to jail until the 2ist for further evidence. Charles Gardiner and L. Whelan appeared for having in their possession a saddle which belongs to a per- son‘or persons unknown. It was found by the police in Gardiner’s premises on Spring Park Road, on Saturday. Both were re- manded until the 2ist. Thomas McCloskey appeared for an alledged brutal assault on W B. Allin, on the 6thinst.. The case was postponed until to-morrow.

St. Patrick's Day.

ee

Yesterday the feast of St. Patrick was observed with all the usual solemnity. The

the Total Abstinence Society, to the num- ber of some three hundred members, walk- ed in procession, with banners flying, to the Cathedral, where High Mass was celebrated at 10 o'clock. Bishop McIntyre preached an eloquent discourse on charity to the poor, and a handsome collection was taken. In the evening, at 7 o'clock, the Panygeric was preached by the Rey. KE. Walker, Pro- fessor in St. Dunstan’s. The church was crowded in every part. The members of the St. Patrick’s Societies approached Com- munion at the High Mass, wearing their badges. This evening a grand Concert will be held in the Market Hall under the aus- pices of the St. Patrick’s Total Abstinence Society. The programe is varied and in-

viting.

Death from Starvation.

Lonpon, Onrarro, March 13 —A woman named Errington, the abandoned wife of Charles Errington, of Petrolia, was found by Constable Warren in a vacant lot in Westminster this morning, in a very ex- hausted and feeble condition. He took her in his buggy and conveyed her to Squire Peters’, where, obtaining a warrant, he took her to gaol. Arrived there, it was found the woman was dead. It appears that ten or twelve years since her separation from her husband, her life has been a failure. Being an accomplished musician, she has tried to teach. At other times she has been a common servant, but frequently a lodger at the police station on account of her disso- luteness and poverty. This morning at six o’clock she called at a house in» Westmin- ster and asked shelter from the storm of rain and sleet, but was repulsed. She wandered on until, completely discouraged, she lay down in a vacant lot, where she was afterwards found by the constable. Twenty years ago, the woman, whose mai- den name was Crowe, was very attractive, and an ornament to the circle in which she

moved.

Ur to the time of our going to press there was no business transacted in the House of Assembly.

Tue Jury in the case of Smith, McAdam, Corrigan and McCarthy retired at 12 o'clock to-day. ‘They have returned a verdict of ‘‘Guilty” against Smith only.

Reniciovs.—There will be Gospel preach- ing for a few evenings at the new Church House, near entrance to Malpeque Road, ‘services commencing at half-past seven o'clock.

A Beavurirut Expression.—During the delivery of a very able discourse in St. Dunstan’s Cathedral yesterday morning, His Lordship Bishop McIntyre, amongst other eloquent passages, said: ‘‘The hand of the poor is the treasury of God.”

Tur Northern Light is still true to her record. She has twenty-five passengers on board, and some freight. On Friday she started from Pictou, and has not been heard of since. It is impossible to tell when she inmay be expected. Meanwhile the mails via the Capes are arriving with great regularity.

A soy named James King, attending school in the town of Perth, Ont., struck his teacher, for which he has been ex- pelled from school, taken before aJ. P., and condemded to ten days’ imprisonment and to a fine of $6 and costs or remain in jail twenty days more. This should bea warning to him and to all other bad boys, to be carefui how they treat their teachers.

SevEN BurtpiIncs Burnep.—WeyMours, N. B., March 14.—A fire broke out at Wey month bridge, at one o'clock, this morning, in a store owned and occupied by James Brown as a grocery and liquor store, totally destroyed this building, also six buildings adjoining :—H. Brooks, blacksmith; C. E. Balkam’s watchmaker store; James Living- ston, grocery and liquors; three small stores owned by Charles Wilson. Brown’s store and stock is insured for, $1,300. There is no other iusurance. The loss is about $3,000. The origin of the fire is not known,

Lost at Sea.—The American schooner John S. Presson, Oakley, master, from Western Banks, put in here yesterday’for bait. Captain Oakley reports that on the 18th ult., Allan Grant, aged 40, married of Port Hood, C. B., and Angus McKenzie, aged 24, unmarried, of East Point P. E. L., went out in a dory to tend their trawls and were never afterwards seen. The weather was fine and the sea smooth; but a snow uall came on after they left and it is sup- posed that in trying to find the vessel they rowed in the wrong direction. The J. S. Presson has 4 cannon on board, which Cap- tain Oakley had fired at intervals for some hours, but apparently the men could not have heard it. Captain Oakley has brought in a good fare of halibut and reports the weather favorable and the fishing good. He left seven vessels on the Banks.

Tue developments in the case of Har- graves, at London, Ont., are such that the crowd around the Police Court hes been with difficulty restrained from violence. Annie Sparks, aged 16, testified that Har- graves often struck her with his cane, her hands were fastened with leather straps, at- tached to a rope passing over a pulley above and drawn up above her head. The first time she remained in that position from one till three o’clock ; the second time two or three days; the third time three or four days. Her hands were unfastened when dinner was served, and at night when she was allowed to liedown. She wasalso kept ina dark room, and gagged, and beaten with ropes. Most of the punishment was for talking while at work in the hair factory. Two boys were strapped up and beaten also. Her testimony shows that the factory was conducted on a system of tyranny and out- rage on young employees. Jarvis, Har- grave’s partner, has absconded to escape ar-

eye, the bullet glancing upward and lodging in the skull, the other lodging in the leg above the knee. Neither of the balls have been extracted, and the doctors are reticent in giving an opinion as to the unfortunate man’s state. Two men, named James Ir- win, brass-founder, and John MeNaughton, printer, have been arrested, but Carray can’t identify him as his assailant. Carray alleges the attack was made because he was a Catholic. The prisoners are very respect- able young men, and deny being connected

with the shooting in any way. ‘They are Protestants. ‘ ——3e -

Barratry.

Batrimore, March 13.

A brig entered here a few days ago as the ‘‘ Alexis,” fram Port Cabello, with a cargo

of Coffee and hides. She proves to be thie British brig “Alice,” of St. John, N. B., which was loaded at Port Cabello for Ham- burg, where her cargo is insured for $92,- 000. A man calling himself Kingvear has been endeavoring to sell the cargo, which has been stored at Fell’s Point. He tried to obtain a cash advance of $60,000 thereon, but failed in getting only a thousand dol- lars. The brig has been seized by the Brit- ish Consul, she being found yesterday, at Canton, without a soul on board, her cap tain (Williamson), mates and seamen ail having fled. The manifests and other papers all prove to have been forgeries of Kingvear, and her name has been’ changed.

(Norr.—The (brigantine) Alice is of 196 tons burthen, was built at Indiantown in 1873 and is owned by Mr. Alfred Mills and others of this port. This is, no doubt, the one referred to, as she is the only vessel of that name hailing from St. John.

Trouble feared in India.

Lonpon, March 16. The Council of the Governor General of Calcutta yesterday passed a bill for the bet- ter regulation of the Native Indian press,

enabling the Government to promptly sup- press al seditious writing, extortion and in- timidation by the vernacular press. Lord Lytton, the Governor General, in his re- marks supporting the measure, said that while his association and convictions were on the side of free utterance of thought, it was his deliberate judgment that this meas- ure was imperatively demanded by the-su- preme law of the safety of state. No Gov- ernment could tolerate the circulation among the ignorant masses of such seditious and disloyal language as was constantly uttered by the vernacular press. The article against extortion and inti:uidation was intended to protect native magistrates, chiefs and offi- cials, who were constantly in fear of attacks by the native news press. +--+ o>

Canadian Cattle Trade.

A special cablegram from London says that meetings have been held at Shefield and Liverpool to oppose the Duke of Rich-

mond’s cattle bill. The Canadian shipping interest at Liverpool has diawn up a peti tlon to the House of Commons against the bill, showing how the trade in live cattle has grown. Large sums have been expend- ed in fitting out steamers, and the bill, if it became law, would extinguish the trade. On the other hand disease has never been known among Canadian herds. Canada is an intregal part of the Empire. Canadian cattle are not foreign cattle, but the pro- duce of British territory and Canadians are prepared to fight British battles, if neces- sary, therefore they claim Canadian inter- ests should be treated as Imperial interests, and pray that Canadian cattle may be per- mitted to come as heretofore.

To the Editor of the Examiner :

Dear Sir,—Although you do not frequent the English Church, 1 know that you area man of sense and taste, and understand music. Therefore, with your leave, 1 should like to give the organist of St. Paul’sa hint. He is training a number of young girls—children— to sing im the choir, which would be all very well, if he taught them harmony as well as melody. It would be a great improvement if, instead of letting them all scream Ist, or so- prano (as 1 believe it is now cailed), he would teach about one-third of them to sing 2nd (or alto), so as to soften the whole into harmony, and thus gladden the ears of

Ch’town, March 18, ’78.

To the Editor of the Examiner:

It was pleasing to .notice yesterday (St. Patrick's Day) the good feeling manifested by Roman Catholics and Protestants while wear ing the ‘‘dear httle Shamrock.” ‘This emblem recalls only pleasure and joyful reminiscences which are appreciated by all. It cannot in any way offend or cause ill-feeling. How dif- ferent the flannting of a religious party color which, although harmless in itself, causes bit- terness amongst a large portion of our fellows. lt should be the desire of every lover of this Canada of ours to obliterate old party feuds and vie with each other in promoting kindly feelings to one another. Happy will be the day when man shall look upon his fellow-man

as a brother ; not allowing his faith to act as a

barrier, but recognize him as the offspring of the same parent as the masterpiece of his handiwork, and designed as such to reflect in his nature and relations the image of Him after whose likeness man was formed- Yours truly,
