The Latest Slander.

that an cor

Ir does seem rather strange elaborate charge of Governmental ruption should be sprung upon the coun- try just after the prorogation of Parlia- ment. Naturally, we expect the Loyal Opposition to expose before Parliament all the malpractices of the Government of which they have knowledge when the Parliament isin session. But it appears that Mr, Blake was fully seized of the ‘facts’ in this matter—and made no use of them!

It therefore the Tribune, the organs of the ‘standard lay the charges before the country—and they did so.

ln brief, the Government were charged with having corruptly bargained aud intrigued with Manning, McDonald, MeLaren & Co., the contractors for Section B. of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way,who, it was stated, advanced a large sum of money for election purposes.

Mr. James Shields of the firm thus libeled, has written a letter to the Globe in which he says that as to the matter personal to himself, ** any charge under is false, and every inference attempted to be drawn is unwarranted by the true facts.” He says :—

for the Globe, and other to

remained Advertiser, elevators,”

** Your statements as to what I did dur- ing the elections are false, and so far as Mr. Macdonald is concerned, I believe them to be also false. In the coming election trials an opportunity will be atforded you of test- ing their truth. It ia false that any remeasurement or reclassification of the work was made, or that anything was dove whereby any unfair claim can be advanced or improper payments made.

‘* In reference to the contractors receiy- ing from the syndicate 15 per cent for prospective profits, | need hardly say that as it was of very great advantage to the syndicate to get early possession and use of the line, and as the handing it over by us

-before our contract was fully com- pleted and before the time limit- ed would deprive us of profits

which we expected and were entitled to earn under our contract, the arrangement cannot be tortured into anything wrong or improper. That arrangement, as well as the sale of our plant to the Canada Pacific Co., which they required to fivish the work, was a business one between us and the company, and entailed no expense on the Government, who had nothing what- ever to do wiih the transaction.

Mr. Shield, further affirms that no moneys have been taken from the firm except for the legitimate purposes of the business, and in proof that he does not fear the fullest investigation of the charge, he has, as will be seen by refer- ence to Tue EXAmINER’S telegraphic despatches of to-day had Mr. Anglin sud Mr. Cameron, the alleged writer of the article, and the publisher of the Globe, arrested for a criminal libel.

The Toronto Mail says that the real state of the case was given as follows by Sir Charles Tupper in his speech on the Pacific railway :

‘*An arrangement is uow being made for the contractors to surrender the work in its present condition—about $300,000 of which contract remains to be done in order to complete it—to transfer that to the Cana- dian Pacific Railway Company, who will be enabled to carry the work to completion under the terms of the contract, and at the same time carry on the great volumn of traffic which did offer last autumn, and which we know will offer again with the opening of navigation, so as to give all the immediate faci- lities for that communication that are possible to be given. I may say, in rela- tion to that matter, that I stated to the House, on a former occasion, that we ex-

pected to make a large saving, something like $500,000 on section ‘A,’ and semething over $1,000,000 on _ sec- tion ‘B, and | am glad to be able

A conversazione took place in the Ladies Academy drawing room, on Saturday even- ing, and was largely attended.

Rev. John Burwash’s baccalaureate sermon on Sunday morning was an eloquent exposition of the scientific claims of the gospel.

The Alumni sermon in the evening by Rev. Ralph Brecken drew a full house.

On Monday morning the anniversary of the Male Academy took place at Lingely Hall. The exercises, musical and literary, were fully up to the standard. Principal Paisley in his report stated the attendance had been sixty-eight. He referred in ap- priate terms to the deaths of Masters Cole- man and Purdy while attending the institution. The prizes, which consisted of books, were then distributed as follows : Advanced Latin to Clifford W. Robinson,

Provincial Exhibition, 1883.

An adjourned meeting of the Board of Commissioners was held yesterday at the Law Courts Building. Present: His Honor Lieut.-Goversor Haviland, Patron, Hon. Senator Haythorne, Hon, D. Ferguson, James Nicholson, Patrick Blake, Charles C. Gardner, Dr. J. T. Jenkins, Edward Bayfield, Donald Mc-

Kinnon, Capt. M, McLeod, Wiiliam Haslam, Stephen McMillan, Albert Boswell, Alex. Scott, Lauchlan Mc-

Millan, Thomas Vessey, Esquires. The Committee appointed at a former meet- ing to prepare a Prize List submitted their report, which, after some discussion, was adopted. Excepting a few alter- ations end additions in some of the minor departments, the Prize List tor the Provincial Exhibition, 1883, will not differ much from that of last year. The Secretary stated that the Hon. Neil McLeod would offer a special prize of $20 for foals sired by the imported trotting stallion “Hernando,” and that D. McLeod, Exq., would duplicate his special prize of $20 given last year for foals sired by the Clydesdale horse “Barrister.” Special prizes tend greatly to increase the interest taken ia Exhibi- | tions. It is hoped that others will follow the good example of the gentlemen named and give special prizes in other Clayses.
