A False Liberal.
Tue Patriot professes to be Liberal. It professes to admire the Liberal Acts of Coles and Whelan. But when the great monu- mental work of Coles and Whelan—man- hood suffrage—is attacked and in danger of destruction, the Patriot regards the spolia- tion with cold indifierence, and tacitly— silently—but with all its power—supports and abets the spoliators. 9
The Patriot is not yet, apparently, aware that Judge Alley has given a decision dis- franchising hundreds of electors—hundreds of men who, relying upon the strength of the charter of freedom and equal rights, obtained for them by Coles and Whelan, heeded not the difficulties placed in their way by the Taxing Confraternity—and, so, have suffered. An organ of the. ‘‘Liberal Party” should. not be idle now. But the Patriot is idle. And no more conclusive proof could possibly be given of the hol lowness and insincerity of its ‘‘Liberal” professions. The Patriot is false to Liberal- ism, as the Local Government is false.

The Railway Picnic.
Tue third annual picnic of the railway employes was held at Marie yesterday. It’ was one of the most successful and enjoy- able picnics we had the pleasure of attend- ing for some time. At 8.30 a. m. a train of fourteen cars, crowded with excursion- ists, left this city for the grounds. It was conducted by Mr. Frank Kelly, one of the most obliging and efficient conductors on the line. [By the way, we may here re- mark that Mr. K. has just returned from his wedding tour. We tender to him our hearty congratulations.] The place where the picnic was held is a narrow belt of land below the railway track and the south shore of St. Peter's Bay- It is pleasantly situated; affords a magnificent view of the harbor and adjacent country; and, we dare say, cannot be surpassed as a ground on which to hold picnics or witness boating. Shortly after the excursionists landed, the Tignish train arrived with a large number of excursionists from the West. The train from «Souris also brought a large number from the east. At one o'clock no less than 1,500 people were present. Among those we noticed the Rev. Father Gillis, Rev. R. W. Dyer, Dr. Muitart, Dr. McLeod, J. F. Campion, Esq., Henry Lawson, Esq., of the Patriot, J. H. Fletcher, Esq., of the Argus, and P. R. Bowers, Esq., of the New Era. There were also present a large number of the yeomanry of the districts surrounding Marie; and we noticed that politics were rife for the greater portion of the day. On the grounds were erected dancing and re- freshment booths. These were well at- tended, and their occupants were kept in constant motion from the arrival to the departure of the train. The refreshments were provided by the Livingstone Brothers, who desérve much credit for the manner in which they superintended their business. In their booth a splendid dinner was pro- vided for a thousand people at a very moderate price. At 11.30 a.m. boat racing was commenced. The races were conducted by Mr. McKechnie and Mr. Cunningham, both of whom, we noticed, took a lively in- terest in the picnic and were anxious that every employe and those present should en- joy themselves heartily. The races were sent off from the Marie wharf in a north- easterly direction. Some of the races were well contested, and on the finish created a light breeze of excitement. The result will be seen below :—

An Invention.
Tur Government Press state that the bad feeling existing in Montreal was for- mented previous to the twelfth, by Liberal- Conservatives who hoped to reap political capital out of a riot. The tone of the Lib- eral-Conservative press, and the speeches of Liberal-Conservative statesmen, attest
that this is a slanderous invention. cai danihiemains
Another Invention.
Aw inventive reporter of a Grit sheet of bad character, published where Major Walker thrives, has reported that Sir John McDonald, in the course of a recent speech, said he thought “ a general tariff of 35 per cent. would meet the requirements of Canada.” Neither the Globe or Mail have so reported Sir John McDonald; and the present writer heard Sir John McDonald say in Parliament that it would ‘ not be necessary to increase the volume of taxation” in order to carry out the National Policy. Under these circumstances, the St. John Telegraph and Patriot will retail the inven- tion in vain.
Supreme Court —Grand Jury Pre sentment.
Tus following presentment is highly
creditable to King’s County :— Granp Jury Room, Krxa’s County, July Term, 1878.
We, the Grand Jury of King’s County, de- sire to thank your Lordship for your address, particularly fer the valuable suggestions con- tained in reference to the temperance move- ment. We fully coneur with your Lordship in vour earnest desire for the repression of the great evil of intemperance, and we are happy to know that the great temperance cause has so far happily succeeded as to enable us to state that there is, to our knowledge, no spirituous liquors sold illicitly in our various localities.

The McCarthy Murder.
A PANEL oF 200 JURORS FROM WHICH TO SELECT A JURY. Dorcusster, N. B., July 16.
There isa large attendance of visitors
from the suburban districts and also from adjacent counties, attracted by the Osborne trial, some as witnesses and others as spec- tators, and Sheriff Botsford has made ample arrangements for the press. After court opens a special panel of 150 or 200 jurors will be ordered from which to select the special jury for the Osbornes, in case the Grand Jury find a bill of indictment, as the regular panel of twenty-one will be ex- hausted before many jurors are secured. D. L. Hannington will assist Dr. Tuck for the Crown in the McCarthy case. Annie Parker arrived by noon train. She looks in good health, and was received with great interest. Dr. Tuck, Dr. Allison and Dr. Scott also arrived by the same train.
The Osbornes, when seen this morning, were all well except Eliza, who is in rather poor health. Harry looks better than when ip Shediac.
It was 2.30 p.m. when His Honor the Chief Justice entered the court room and took his seat. The court having been duly opened the Grand Jury elected William Cochran their foreman.
His Honor then opened his.
ADDRESS TO THE JURY.
He said the Sheriff's calendar covered five prisoners, four of whom were charged with a capital offence, and remarked that their duties were as important as those of any previous grand jury ever called in the Province. He said he referred, of course, to the Osbornes now in jail. The facts of the case had been before the public for six months. There had been two investiga- tions into the circumstances—one at Monc- ton, the other at Shediac, and the facts were so generally known to all who read the papers, and he presumed, as everyone did, that it was not necessary for him, he thought to go at all fully into the facts of the case. After reciting the main facts briefly, His Honor said that the principal witness,
THE YOUNG WOMAN PARKER
would be sent before the jury. If herstory of the murder was true, three of the prisoners were guilty of murder, but John Osborne was an accessory after the fact. His Honor then pointed out what made a person an accessory either before or after the fact. He said there could be no reason- able doubt that McCarthy came to an un- timely death; that his body had been found floating in the Scadouc, and while it was true that the clothing on the body did not agree with the chief witness’ story, this might be explained by further evidence. She had
TOLD HOW HE WAS KILLED,
and how the body had been disposed of,and he did not see how there could be a particle of doubt in the jury’s mind as to there
finding a true bill against three of the pri- soners for wilful murder, and against John Osborne for being an accessory after the fact. He pointed out that the prisoners when on their trial would have full oppor- tunity for defence, and that twelve of the grand jury must agree to find a true bill.
THE business of the United States is in a flourishing way. The eleven months ended 3lst May, 1878, as compared with the cor- responding period of the previous fiscal year, show the following result:—

The Beaconsfield Coup: How They View It Across the Border.
The Russo-phile journals in the United States have been thrown into a state of mind by the revelation of the brilliant coup of Earl Beaconsfield in the matter of Cyprus and the Turkish Asiatic Protectorate. Sorely dis- pleased at the turn things finally took in the settlement of the Eastern question, these jour- nals can not but admire the masterly manner in which the British Premier played his cards in the great international game. Indeed, the New York T'ribune, the most rabid, perhaps, of them all, has a remarkable article on the subject in which it asserts that Beaconsfield’s masterstroke has dazzled Europe and sent merrie England into a craze of excitement ; that Beaconsfield has won more by diplomacy than Palmerston did by war, and that he has won for England a prestige not enjoyed by her since Waterloo. It aflirms that this restora- tion of British influence is altogether good, and that, in effect, nothing but good can come out of it. Through it the benefits of Western civilization are to stream over Asiatic Turkey in full flow. Nevertheless, the JZ'ribune is staggered by the questions whether England, already ladened with such tremendous respon. sibilities, can afford to take upon her shoulders the additional ones involved in the assumption of an Asiatic-Turkish Protectorate, and whether or not it was wise for Beaconsfield to double England’s heavy load without first consulting her or her Parliament. However, the T'ribune evidently admires the great He- brew statesman for his sublime audacity in matter. —St. John News.

It is a well-know fact that for many years’ past the prices of other Cape Breton coals have been regulated by the rates fixed for SYDNEY COAL; but while it is true that other coals, to get a sale at all, have been pressed’ on the market at various prices under the current rate of SYDNEY CUAL, it is no less trae that, taking into account the superior qualities of SYDNEY COAL when com with other Cape Breton coals, the advan’ beth as to economy and convenience, is im favor of SYDNEY COAL, even at a much higher price,
