‘‘Incidence of the Tariff.”
Tue atticle by Goldwin Smith on ‘ The First Ten of the Canadian Do- minion” does not please the supporters of the present Government. The action of George Brown, in retiring from the first Dominion Cabinet, did those ancient party-lines, which it was the purpose of Confederation to efface. Had he remained, his influence, in the cause of

public purity, of which his followers boast themselves to have almost a monopoly, might have established a better basis of fur- ther union, than actually took place, and averted those scandals and abuses of power which the Globe alleges to have occured. There seemed to be no apology for his con- duct, other than his unwillingness to serve But for his
action, the representatives of the several

sut what is done cannot be undone. The only thing that now remains, is to build up that feeling of unity which the Globe did so much to destroy. For tlfe bonds of unton which link these colonies together must be The at- tachment arising from mutual dependence on the British crown, should not be crushed out by petty and inglorious differences.
Canada should enter on her second decade
something more than political.
under as favorable auspices as she did under her first.
It is the aim and purpose of the Liberal Conservative Party to bring about this re- sult. They wish to encourage a system of home traffic which shall lead to the general conviction that the needs of one Province ean largely be met by the productions of another; and thus to develop that sense of mutual adaptation, which is the groundwork of all true union. There fis no reason why every one, traitors excepted, should not join injthe advancement of this cause. The matter stands simply thus: There must be duties imposed on foreign goods, because a revenue must be raised. While this is the case, absolute Free Trade is impossible. These duties are usually levied according to some scale, so as to suit in some degree the wants of the nation. Such is the case in Canada now. No one contends that the present arrangement is necessarily perfect. No one should object to a calm considera- tion of it and a judicious adjustment of it where its faults are manifest. Unchanged, it seems tv» involve renewed deficits in our revenue, and deficits loudly cry out for
change. ‘Shall we be content then with al- lowing mistakes to go uncorrected /— as the Grits are. Or shall we try
the problom over again, at the risk of repeat error it may be, but yet with the prospect of finding a right solu- tion ?—as the Liberal-Conservatives pro-
pose. These are the questions respecting the tariff upon which the two political parties o: the Dominion disagree.
An Electionecring Dodge.
We uzar that Theophilus Stewart, Esq., who, for twenty-three years, has filled the office of Commissioner to the Indians, has been superseded by the appointment of a Frenchman in Egmont Bay. The way it came about was this: The Dominion Gov- ernment, in its munificence, promised the Deputy Inspectorship of Weights‘and Meas- ures in Prince County to two individuals;
one Mr. Gunn, Editor of the Summerside
Journal, and the other this gentleman, who has now been appointed in the room of
| fulness as it ought to be.
DISCRERT.
Discretion is the better part of valor. Mr. Ferris, M. P. for Queen’s County, New Brunswick, has a card in the St. John, N. B., Telegraph, announcing that he will not be a candidate at the forthcoming Dominion Ferris is the man who was forced the House this
election. to confess on the floor of last Session that his vote with the Grit party had been contingent on his receiving a grant of old Intercolonial iron rails for a branch railway in which he was interested. Thus the ‘Party of Purity” carry their professions into practice. This will be one of the several Counties in New Brunswick which will be wrested from the Grits at the coming election. The Conservative candi- date, Dr. Wiggins, has received so many pledges of support that it is doubtful if a candidate sufficiently courageous to contest it in the Grit interest can be found.

“ A Few Facts and Figures.”
ALARMING INCREASE OF PUBLIC DEBT.

the ‘Osher will be presented to-day to show that Carthy’s body was taken from the water and re-clothed. The prisoners look as well as usual, though it is said Jolin Osborne is failing somewhat.
Mr. Gilbert continued his cross-examination of Warman, who said: The boy witness saw in empty wagon on the side of the road early on morning of 13th October was not, as far as he could remember, Harry Osborne, and the man in the field, leading horse, he could not describe.
In answer to a Jurymanu—A horse and wagon could travel along the shore of the river on the moruing of the 12th at low water, but not very well at high water. Did not think a wagon could go down the river immediately *in rear of Appleton’s barn.
To Mr. 'Tuck-—Tbere was a dilapidated fence on the bank of the river !ast fall in rear of At- kinson’s farm, and for a distance up river. He never saw Osborne’s wagon.
Chipman Smith, Postmaster at Shediac, was called. He lived here for a number of years; has been pestmaster for a year and a half; had known Timothy McCarthy for a long time; saw him on the evening of the 12th October between 9 and 10, in the bar-room of the Wel- don House. He went from the post office to the Weldon House. Martin McDonald, the bar-keeper, and a man named Milligan were in the bar. Tim McCarthy came im about a halfan hour after he entered. -He couid not now state the time from any rememberance of looking at his watch, but remembers from his mind, He had left the post office about 3.30 o’clock and remembered shortly after having proceeded to the Weldon House. They hed one drink be- fore McCarthy came in. McCarthy asked wit ness to have a drink. Witness refused, but afterwards consented and Milligan likewise

thought he would buy a horse, He told deceased that Milligan was a horse man and had a very nice beast here for sale. Deceased inquired of Milligan what did he think of the horse he had. MeCarthy said he wanted a fast horse. Milligan said his was not very fast, but a good trotter. McCarthy said it would not suit. At this, the party had another drink. Dr. Legere came in, and witness did not remember anyone else entering. He thought three drinks were taken. He had no conversation in the bar-room as to where the Riley girls lived. He did not hear McCarthy say while in the bar where he intended pass- ing the night. He did not see McCarthy’s hat box and rubber hood brought into the bar. Did not hear deceased tell Martin to tell the hostler to take care of the horse. He did not hear deceased tell Martin he was not stopping at the Weldon house but at the Waverley. Did not recollect Martin and deceased having any conversation at the counter before leaving the bar. sitting. The bar-room in the Weldon House is small, and he could not have been very far from McCarthy. He left the bar, he supposed because he thought it was time to go home, and thought he mentioned the fact that it was late. He thought Dr. Legere had left before he had. Milligan, he thought, went out the side entrance to the bar. He could not state positively, but thought it was about 10,20 when he left the bar. McCarthy left with him. He did not notice anyone in the smoking reom when passing through the hall to go out. McCarthy went outside with him. McUarthy said, ‘‘Let us go and see the Riley girls.” Witness objected, but as their resi- dence was on his road home, he would show him the place. Went to the place together. Did not recollect. going back for a fiask of brandy. Recollect having told Martin not to lock the door as McCarthy would be out for a little while. Martin heard him say this. li McCarthy told Martin he was stopping across the street, witness could not state if Martin would or would not have consented upon his request to leave the door open as Mctarthy was to return in a short time. At all events he did not hear Martin say anything about McCarthy not returning. Went with Mc- Carthy to the Adams House to see the Riley girls, and entered the front door, Saw a light in their room, and told McCarthy that was their room. Went to the head of the stairs, struck a match, and told McCarthy to go along the hall and when he came to the door he would know it, as_ the door did not fit the casing closely, and light would shine through, Witness remained atthe head ef the stairs. McCarthy was at the door mentioned. Mc- Carthy rapped and asked something that wit- ness did not remember. Heard a voice from inside the room from where he stood at the head of the stairs, and just then McCarthy re- turned to the company of witness. Witness commenced descending the stairs, and Me- Carthy overtook him in the lower hall, and both made their exit together. The time from entering to coming was about"fi'teen minutes. Vas not at Riley girls’ door. Remained at the op of the stairs. Could not see if light shone hrough Riley’s bed-room door or not. Thought his opinion of whigpering at the door and the light in the room was as good as Mary Jane Riley’s. If Mary Jane Riley says there was whispering at the door and no light in the room when he entered the house, she is mis-
consented. McCarthy said something about going to the Island. He said while over there ; J

feelings of the rejected gentleman, and to win his influence among his countrymen at the forthcoming elections, Messrs. Yeo and Perry thrust Mr. Stewart from his position, and awarded it to the ‘‘influential” gentle- man at Egmont Bay. We hope the Patriot will notice this fact, and show the world that Frenchmen are not so low as the Patriot not long since depicted them—that they are beginning to rise in the social gcale. » ane
The Famine in China.
Tue Chinese Famine is a truly terrible visitation. It is said there are FIFTEEN MILLIONS of people starving and sixTY MIL- LIONS are sudering for want of suflicient food. The difficulty in China does not
seem to arise from lack of food in the country. There is said to be an abundance of food, and the crops have turned out well. But it is impossible to get the food trans- ported to where it is most needed.
John, who was recalled and testified to his | belief that the overcoats McCarthy had on) when found had been immersed in the} water a shorter time than his inner coat and pants. Both the outer coats of the de- ceased were buttoned up tight to the neck,
inference would be that they would have more mud on‘them than the inner coat and clothing. But the reverse is the case, and this fact is so palpable that Dr. Allison con- cludes the inner coat must have been long- est in the water. If McCarthy’s body was really taken up from the bottom of the river, as now seems probable, clad in his overcoats, and his watch, money, etc., put in his pocket, the question arises who could have done this ? Certainly this case 1s open- ing out some very curious problems. — Moncton Times.

To a Juryman—Had no recollection of see- ing Hickey that night; have never told Amelia Brown not to mention that she had seen him that night; could not state with what kind of money “McCarthy paid for the drinks.

at considerable length, witlut adding an)- thing to his testimony above given.
Robert Atkinson, 40Nn of farmer Atkinson, was also examined. His evidence was unim- portant. :
Dr. Allison was called, and gave evidence on the pieces of shirt. Witness produced a niece of shirt found on MeCarthy’s body ; the pie a «of shirt was blood stained ; from {the chemical test, and from the impression v6 would leave on a white surface, he formed his opin ion. Witness produced a wrapper which he hac placed ai ymund the pieces ot shirt, and the wrapper showed impressions of dye and blood, stains ; made other tests, including one from the clothing of Vaughan ; this McUVarthy test was not so perfect as that of Vanghn’s, but the former test was easily distinguishable as blood stain ; from the size of the blood stain on the shirt, he concluded the blood came from the nose. Supposing the person when struck was partly lying on the counter, as described by Annie Parker, the blood would have a chance to trickle on the shirt ; if at the time the body fellit had on a rubber coat, and underneath, another coat, especially if the rubber coat was buttoned at the neck, such a stain could not have been produced ; when making the post mortem the india-rubber coat was buttoned close around the neck, and thought the second button was buttoned as well ; the stain on the front of the shirt could not have got there with the coat so buttoned ; could not tell if the sleeves ot che undercoat had been pulled up at the wrist or not, but, from the sleeves having been so wet and the difficulty in moving the body, even if the sleeves had been up at the wrist, the ap- » pearance of sucha thing having taken place would have been effaced. Had been shown a stone reported to have been found in the Seadoue River; there was nothing peculiar about the stone; could not say if the stone had or had not been a loug time in the water. At the time of making the post mortem observed a quantity of mud upon the clothing on the body. he mad was mostly on front of the coats; most of the mud was on the body coat; the india rubber coat was next in quantity, and the overcoat had least upon it; there was ilso some on the corners of the vest; each coat had more mud in front than behind; noticed traces of mud in flectures or wrinkles of the body coat---that is, the coat of the three near- est the body. On the trousers the mud was more uniformly distributed. Witness thinks that the body has been twice immersed, and that the coats were put on by taking up*the body for that purpose. Arrived at this con- clusion beeause the body cout had the most mud onit, Had the body been placed in the water with all three coats on the condition of the body coat would have been different. (The coats were all produced in Court.) This proves beyond a doubt that the coats were put on after the body was first put in the water. It was impossible to trace any poison in the stomach, after making a careful ‘analysis. If deceased had been given poison it must have been vegetable, and this would not be dis- coverable after a long time in water.
Dr. Allison was subjected to a lengthyand searching cross-examination without altering the main facts in his evidence. The report is unavoidably crowded out.
