The Queen's County Election Case.

——

'

Wuew., by the distranchisement of six hundred ‘avd seventy voters, he was counted in ‘‘two ahead’ by Judge Alley, Dr. Jenkins accepted the result, and ad- mitted that the election was legal. But, | after the six hundred and odd voters had} had their rights restored by the higher | court. and it was found thet Mr Brecken | was justly and truly entitled to a majority | of sixteen, Dr. Jenkins changed front so to speuk, repudi ted the election |

as illegal, and a-ke! the Court to| Such conduct is not

declare it void. | right, and must not be upheld by the law. If the election was lawtully held with|

respect to Dr, Jenkins, it was lawfully |

held with respect to Mr. Brecken. Dr. Jenkivs has admitted that, with respect to himself the election was lawtnl ; and, therefore, wi-h respect to Mr. Brecken it is alvo lawful. ‘*What is sauce for the goose, is sauce for the gauder.”’?’ A mav canvot, in the same case, “blow hot aud blow cold.”

The evidevce adduced does not show that the want of sufficient ballots at three of the polliog places would have so materially effected the result of the election as to have given Dr. Jenkivus «

majority over his colleague, Mr. Brecken. | As they were runuing together, and! party-lives were closely drawn, it could | not, in reason, be presumed that the men who didtiet verte for the want of ballot | papers would have voted for Dr. Jenkins} and not for Mr. Breeken, had sufficent) ballots been supplied

These, in brief, and in a general way, are the gronuds upon which Mr. Justice Peters decided that Mr. Breckeo shall bold the seat in the House of Commons to which he was deelared duly returned by Returning Officer Cailbeck.

Whether or not these grounds are good in. law, we do pot kaow. But no honest | man will for a moment deny that they are good in equity.

The Late Mr. David Greenshieids.

This well-known citizen of Montreal, living iu the esteem aod dying amid the} regrets of all who knew him, has passed | away. His life was distiuguished by | simplicity, industry, integrity, and iutell- | igent liberality. His death has drawu} attention to the concern he showed in| publie objects. About $120,000 be-} queathed to various local iustitutions in | his own city, and $65.000 to eduction | and religion, say $180,000 in all—more | than the capital of our best Island Bank, give over to the good of others! Such men and such deeds ennoble our race. The’ Hails, Morrices, McLarens, who have done so much lately for education and religion within the Preshyteri«p Church, have now another name added to their number, Truly a roll of hovor! How mean and revolting do the worldly display. greed and meauess which are to be seen in others quzrters, jook in com- parison with the lives and deeds of such men as are noticed above.

—It is pleasing to have the assurance of Lord Wolseley of Cairo, that the moral improvement of the B:itish Army continues,, while its fighting character- istics are well maintained. In a# speech which he recently delivered at London, His Lordship said :-—

“They were told that the army would be destroyed if these reforms were carried out. What had been the result, what had been the lessons taught us in the Egyptian war? At no period of our history had the men done better. He had heard men say that without flogging it would be im- possible to maintain the discipline at home or wbroad. Well, they hed no flogging in Egypt, and in the whole campaign they had only three courts-martial. He was afraid that some of the men would fall into the great evil of drunkenness, but during the five weeks he was at Cairo he was about a great deal and he never saw a drunken soldier. That campaign had proved to him that the morale of our army had been greatly improved, and the fighting quality of the men fully maintained.”

A committee has been appointed to organize a company with a capital of $5,000,000 to import rubber and distribute it among manufacturers. success or failure of this scheme will neces- sarily have a most powerful effect on the rubber market. An advance in the price of rubber to almost double the present rates means that the present qualities of gouds would not be maintained. The manufac- turers would be tempted to work in cheaper grades of rubber—old shoes, hose, springs, ete. would be utilized in adulterating new rubber. Even now, says the N. Y. Bulletin, the use of this second-hand stuff makes much trouble. Shoes give out, hose bursts and springs crumble after a very short period of use, :

On the other hand the fellaheen ard sheiks and notables are in deep sympathy with the un- fortunate rebel.

The United States is threatened with a renewal of Indian troubles in the North- west from incursions of Canadian tribes into Montana. Advices received at Wash- ington, dated December 4th, coming through regular military chaunels, report that the Milk Piver country, in Northern Montana, is overrun by half-breeds, Crees and Lame Brules bands of hostile Sioux Indians ; also that the Yankton Indians, and probably others, are obtaining arms, ammunition, and whiskey in unlimited quantities at Norris place, thirty-five miles above Dry Fork, M.T., and that a collision between the troops and these Indians is apprehended. It is stated at the Indian Office that the most of these intruders are Canadian Indians, and that steps were taken some days ago, when the Depart- ment was first advised of their presence in Montana, to prevent them from obtaining arms, ammunition, &c., of the different trading posts in that section.

Two months ago, says the Monetary Times, as we noticed, some seventy American manufacturers of india rubber boots and shoes, and representing $29,000,- 000 of capital, met in New York and re- solved to close their mills on the 23rd December, in order to force the price of the erade rubber, which had been sent up by
