BANK AND LITTLE SANDS TO THE FRONT

~MACDONALD AND MUTTART NOMINATED

BY HON. 8S. PROWSE AND JAMES BELL,

ESQ.

Messrs. McDonald & Muttart, anxious to meet Messrs. McIntyre and Robertson, cancelled their meetings and adopted the dates and places of the Grit candidates.

The first skirmish teok place at Murray Harbor South, on ‘Monday evening, the 31st ult. A correspondent writes :—The meeting was called by the Grit candidates

—the Grits drummed from cast, west, north and south, some of them coming

from Queen’s County, thus when collected together manifesting their whole body- guard in this vicinity. This was no doybt intended for a formidable phalanx or ** In- vincible Armada,” but when the Liberal- Conservatives rallied to the front with political economy, truth, good Government, Provincial rights, and determination im- planted on their brow, the Grits were com- pelled to ** Halt.”

Messrs. McDonald, Muttart and Hon. 8. Prowse made ringing speeches and touched on the most momentous political questions of the day, thus showing every intelligent elector present that the present Dominion and Local Governments were entitled to the unprejudiced and honest support of the electors of this and all other Provinces of the Dominion.

Dr. Robertson and his colleague gave a syuirming, wriggling and twisty endorsa- tion to the ‘Subway,’ and like all other yood measures which emanate from or are pressed by the Liberal Conservatives, they look at with a certain degree of suspicion.

What about the branch railway to® Mur- ray Harhor and Belfaet/ was reasonably whispered by a nymber of the electors, who justly contend that had not Dr. Robert- son usurped the confidence reposed in him by his constituents we would now have a branch railway to Murray Harbor and Bel- fast.

It is resliy amusing to hear the wishy- washy-murmurings of the Grit candidates about poverty, protection and poor times in this Province, and not a word about the unlimited poverty, distress, and thousands on the verge of starvation in Free Trade Great Britain. Their clamorings are also unbounded about the imaginary high price uf stove-backs. Let them read Farmer French's letter in a late issue of THe Ex- AMINER.

At the close of the meeting Hon. 5. Prowse moved, seconded by James Bell, Esy., that Messrs. McDonald and Muttart |are entitled to the support of the electors lof this District, said motion being received

'with ringing cheers.

GRAND MEETING AT STURGEON,

| A splendid meeting was held at Sturgeon Hall on Tuesday evening. The room was packed to jts utmost capacity. Rousing speoches were delivered by Muttart and MeDonald, in reply to McIntyre and Rob- ertson. The cheap talk and clap-trap of the Grit candidates about Free Trade was

shown to be in direct opposition tothe -

principles set forth by their leaders. Cyrus Shaw, Esq., M. P. P., made a telling speech iu support of the Government candidates. McDonald and Muttart were nominated by Hon. Jas. Clow, M. L. C., and seconded by Mr. Thos. Daley and Mr. B. Kearney. This inceting was largely in favor of the Govern ment candidates. Three rousing cheers for the Qneen and three for Sir John Mc- Donald brought the meeting to a close.

WASHINGTON LRITRE

The Provibitory Measnre in Brief.

- , 2 (Speciil Correspondent of The Examwmer. )

Wasuinoeton, D. C. January, 26, 1886.

In the Senate yesterday, the bill author- izing the President of the United States to protect and defend the rights of Ameriean fishing vessels was passed almost unsmi- mously, there being but one dissenting vote. The bill enacts that :—

“ Whenever the President*of the United States shall be satistied that American fishing vessels or American fishermen, visiting or being in the waters or at any portsor places of the Lritish dominions of orth America, are or then tately bave been denied or abridged in the enjoyment of any rights secured to them by treaty or by law, or are or then lately have been unjustiy vexed or

in the enjoyments of such Piglits, or aubjected to unreasonable restrictions, regule- tions, or requirements in respect of such rights, or otherwise uniustly vexed or harrassed in said waters, ports and places; or whenever the Presi- dent of the United Statesshall be satisfied that any such fishing vessels or fishermen, having a permit under the lews of the United States to touch and trade at any port or ports, place or places,in the British dominions of North America, are or then lately have been denied the ond vilege of entering suc’a port of ports, place er p , m the same manner and under the same regulations as may exist therein applicable to trading

vessels of the most favored nation, or shall be unjustly vexed or barrassed im respect thereof, or otherwise unjustly

vexed or harrassed in said waters, ports, or places. or shall be prevented from purchasing such supplies as may there be lawfully sold to trading vessels of the most favored nation, oF whenever the President of the United States shall be satisfied that any other vessels of the United States, their masters or crews, 50 arriving at or being in such British waters or ports or places of the British dominions or North America are or then lately have been denied any of the privileges therein accorded tothe vessels, their masters, or crews of the most favored nation, or unjustly vexed or harassed in said waters, ports, or places, then, and ineither or all of such cates, it shali be luwful and it shall be the duty of the President of the United States, in his discretion, by proclamation to that effect, to deny vessels, their masters and crews, of the British dominions of North America, any entrance into the waters, ports, or places of or within the United States (with such exceptions in regerd to vessels in dis- tress, stress of weather or needing supplies as to the President shall seem proper), Whether such vessels shall have come directly from said do- minions on such destined voyage or by way of some portor place in such destined voyage else- where, and to deny entry into any port or place in the United States of fresh fish or salt fisa or any other product of said dominions, or otber goods coming from said dominions to the United States. The President may, in his discretion, apply such proclauiation to any part or to all of the foremeing pamed subjects, and may revoke, qualify, limit and renew such proclamation from time to time nus he may deem necessary to the ful] and just ex- ecution of the purposes of thisact. Every viola tion of any such proclamation or any part thereof, is hereby declared illegal, and all vessels and goods so coming or being within the waters, ports, or places of the United States convrary to such proclamation shall be forfeite@ to the United S ates, and such forfeiture shall be enforced and proceeded upon ip the same manner and with the same effectusin the case of vessels of goods whose importation or coming toer beingin the waters or ports of the United States contrary to law may now be enforced and progeed upon. isvery person who shall violate apy of the previs- ions of this act, or such proclamation as the President may, in pursuaace hergof, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on convic- tion thereof shall be punished by a flue not ex- ceeding 31.000 or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years, ur by both said gunishments in the discretion of the court.”

The attitude assumed by Canada in this matter is very strongly deprecated by pro- minent politicians of both parties here, and there is not the slightest doubt the bill will pass th® House of Representatives by a sweeping majority.

Our cruisers are spoken of as little better than piratical craft, and their skippers and crews as pirates of the blackest type ; alto- gether, there is very bitter feeling on the subject, and the United Ssates Govern- ment evidently intend to retaliate with savage energy. It is to be hoped the diffi- culty will be amicably settled.

A Disclaimer.

Sin,—-In a communication over the sig- nature of Mr. Wm. Beer, of Hampton, he informs your readers that I invaded his house with a large supply ef whiskey. It’s true that in company with a friend (and relative of Mr. Beer's family) 1 called at his house; but it sounds both cowardly and contemptible on his part in mixing my name up with whiskey, when he had no reason for so doing. 1 defy him to say that I had a drop of liquor in my possession.

After being in his house ten or fifteen minutes (during which time I thought he was not displeased at seeing us) Mr. Beer was required by a man who had called to see him, and [ immediately took the oppor- tunity of departing, and when passing Mr. Beer in an outer room he invited me to re- inain ; but as we had some distance to drive that evening we were compelled to be on the move.

My. Beer, during my conversation with him, undertook the discussion of political questions ; but when he announced,as some of the reasons why he was opposed to the Liberal party was “‘that the Liberals, to please the Roman Catholics of Ontario, mu- tilated the bible for use in the public schools, and that the Mackenzie Govern- ment had paid a large amount of mopey to Riel after he murdered Seott, to assist him to escape from justice,” 1 concluded his case was hopeless.

When I tell you the friend who called ‘with me was George Lowther, Esq., of Crapaud, | think it will be unnecessary to deny for him that he left Mr. Beers house in the unseemly manner described.

I remain, &c., Jas. M. SUTHERLAND.

H. C. Douse, Esq.,

Srer,—-It is within my own knowledge that the statement in the Herald of the 2nd inst., that you are the agent of the Toronto Mail, is inaccurate.

One evening at my house I suggested to your young son (who is nt for other papers) to put the Toronto Mail on his list. I suggested his writing to the proprietor, and further I gave him a list of persons here who I thought might probably me sub- scribers. Politics had nothing to do with ‘ the matter. | Timagine that your boy’s name, being the | same as yours, has led to the mistake. | What was done was done at my sngges- |tion, entirely as a friendly matter to the | boy ; as a business transaction and without any reference to you or any knowledge by ; you whatever.

A Pertinent Question. | Sir,—The Patriot faction may shane about taxation and figures. But was there | ever a time in our history when we could | buy our loaf for 4 cents, our tea 25. cents, | our sugar 5 cents, and our clothing propor- | tionately low? No, never. No wonder, the poor woman, upbraided the Patriot, crowd and shouted ‘bring me back my four boys.” It was the traitorous croaking | of rebel Grits that induced the boys to) leave their native homes for the United | States. .

Supreme Court. ° Fes. 3. |

The Gourt re-assembled this morning. | Mr. Justice Hensley presiding.

In the application of Robert Crabbe to- stay the Stipendiary Magistrate from acting | as such in a prosecution under the Canada | Temperance Act, Mr. Justice Hensley read | the written judgment of Mr. Justice Peters | (who is still unable to attend Court through illness) and also his own judgment, dis- charging the rule for prohibition. We understand that steps are being taken to appeal the case to the Supreme Court of Canada at Ottawa.

In the case of Griffith vs. the city, Mr. Fitagerald moved for a rule nisi for a pon- suit-—or in the alternative for a new trial— on several grounds. The Court granted a rule wisi, returnable at the Easter Term.

In the ejectment suit of Chapman vs. Macdonald, the Court granted Mr. Warbur- ton a rule nisi for a new trial.

Patterson vs. Patterson (two cases) on motion of Mr. Hodgson (Mr. Fitzgerald, contra) the conviction of the Magistrate was quashed with costs,

Five cases stand over for argument the Easter Term.

Forte Rico sugar.

HE good old West India raw sugar is now hard to get—for the refined article is cheaper and has almost crowded it ont of the market. We often hear the remark made: ** The sugar sold now-a-days is not as sweet as that we used to get years ago.” Whether this isso or not we shall not attempt to say —but we do know this, that those who taste our Porto Rico Sugar de- clure itto be the real article, and ** some- thing like the thing.” It is sweet—and no mistake, but it is dear—seven cents per pound. Can we sell it cheaper than this? Not if we are to make any profit out of it. But we have promised to give some bargains this winter, and we will begin with this Sugar, and for a little we will offer it at 6 CENTs PER LB. Now this is a genuine bargain and much below the value of the Sugar,—and we expect those who want some of it to procure it without de- lay. It won't last long at this price.
