LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ELECTION. pee ea Candidate for Charlottetown,

HENRY LONGWORTH, ESQ. Tor Dary EXAMINER,

OCTOBER 18, L875.

Movements of the New Ministry.

We learn that Hon. Messrs. Tilley, Tup- per, O'Connor, Jas. McDonald and J. H. Pope were sworn in at Montreal yesterday, and thence proceeded to Ottawa. Sir John and the other Ministers went to Que- bee to see Lord Dufferin off. Mr. Pope, of this Province, will probably have met them

there. a>

The Afghan War.

Tue war with Afghanistan is not popular. It is felt that the Mission to Cabul—the in- sulting rejection of which is the immediate cause of all the trouble—was3 a mistake from the beginning. The Indian Govern- ment should, it is thought, have ascer- tained whether Shere Ali was willing to re- ceive overtures, and should not have sent off the Mission until his consent was first obtained. It was fvolish, so ’ts declared, to attempt to force a Mission on the Ameer , and itis argued that even the rebuff which the Indian Government received ought not to induce England to engage in a war from which shecan obtain nobenefitand success in which will entail grave responsibilities and difficulties upon her. High authorities are explicit in their expression of opinion that embroglio England is, morally, in a wrong position. There is, so far, no positive proof whatever that the Ameer is plotting with the Russians; and there is a general belief that the Afghans will resist to the last.

Deprecatory.

Tuat the Patriot should be chagrined and wortified beyond measure, at the result of its recent labors, is but natural. We deeply sympathise with the Patriot. But, at the some time, we deprecate the taste which impels it persistently to exhibit its bitter feelings to the world. Such outbursts, as the Putriot’s leading article of this morn- ing, are exceedingly unphilosophical. The ‘* National Policy” has been endorsed, des- pite the Patriot's scientific misrepresenta- tion; and Mr. Pope has been made a Cabi- net Minister, notwithstanding the Patriot's coarse vituperation: Then, what is the use of making day and night hideous with lamentations? Better accept the situation like a man, than continue to vainly snarl at a policy which the majority of the people have accepted, and at men whom the ma- jority of the people have delighted to honor-

Merchants Bank Notes and the Railway.

Tue Railway Department is paying off its employes in Merchants Bank notes. This is, we think, very unjust. The majority of the employes are poor men, who cannot af- ford to take their wages in depreciated money.— Progress.

We understand that as soon as it was known that the Merchants Bank had sus- pended payment, the Railway Accountant telegraphed the Paymaster, who was on the Western end of the Railway, to cease pay- ing out any Merchants Bank notes and re- turn to town. He also, at once, telegraphed to the authorities at Ottowa to the effect that the Railway employes had been paid in notes of the Merchants Bank, and that, in justice, these ought at once to be ex- changed. Arrangements were quickly made for this purpose, and during the past few days the Paymaster has been over the Railway completing paying and exchanging for Bank of P. E. Island notes any Mer chants Bank notes held by the employes.

Late Ministers.

Mr. McKenzie has gone to Toronto. Mr. Laurier has resumed his legal prac

tice in Arthabaska. Mr. Pelletier has resumed legal practice

in Quebec. Mr. Mills is entered as a law student. *Gartwright seeks re-eiection in East Huron. Mr. Burpee returns to St. John, Mr. Jones gazes at the Union Jack as it gracefully floats over Citadel Hill.

-o- “e+ --

THE potatoe speculation is apparently to be repeated this year, the objective point being the United States. Almost as soon as a cargo arrives, it is picked up, and goog prices prevail. Five hundred bushels of early rose were disposed of at private sale at 42 cents. This is the favorite variety

for shipment to the United States. Another of calicoes, at the Market Wharf, was also bought up this morning for the same purpose. Prices rule higher than last year in ecnsequence of the demand. Early bring as much as 30c. per bushel at the port

of shipment.—Hzx, Recorder.

“rench Assembly for some time, and in

Trade Relations.

teferring to the threatened panic in Eng- land, the Boston J'raveller has the following remarks :—‘‘ Two points are worth making on this news from across the sea. In the first place, those gentlemen who have insisted on attributing all the business depression and dis- aster on this side to the Protection policy, may ponder with advantage the fact that the strongest commercial nation in the world, with all the advantages which a long-standing devotion to the Free Trade policy can afford, is threatened with an era of bankruptcy, and feels the pinch of the period as strongly as we do here. The second point is, that any re- joicing over the commercial calamities otf Great Britain, which apparently impend, is unseemly, and not in the least degree patri otic, as some American writers appear to im- agine. The old country is our largest and best customer. A commercial catastrophe, with its centre in London, will make its influeuce for evil felt nowhere move quickly, more cer- tainly, or more heavily, than in the commer cial cities of this Union.”

“ -—_>----—

A Marvellous Escape.

This is the true story of the escape of Dr. Brydon, the one man of the English army who escaped destruction in the Cabul Pass. Among the survivors towards the end of the slaughter was his native assistant, who, calling Brydon to him, said: “ Doctor, sahib, L cannot positively escape; I am dy- ing from cold and hunger; take my pony and do the best you can for yourself.” Bry- don tried to encourage the poor man, but, seeing that he was indeed dying, he took the poay, and through the confusion foreed his way to the front. There he found a small group of mounted officers, who, knowing they were just at the end of the yass, where it opens out on the plain on which Jellalabad stands, he determined to make a push for life. Seeing Brydon on this wretched, half-starved pony, they de- clared they could not possibly wait for hin, asany delay might cause their ttter de- struction. On they went, leaving Brydon slowly toiling after them. The Afghans saw this group approaching, met and slew every man; then, thinking no one else was} coming, went back to the hills. Just then Brydon passed. At Jellalabad, where news of Elphinstone’s force was anxiously looked for, at evening one man, slowly riding a worn-out pony, was descried at the entrance ot the pass. Some cavalry were sent to bring him in. It was Brydon. As he en- tered the gate he fell senseless from fatigue. When he came to himself his first question was about the pony that had saved his life; it was dead. Brydon was with Sale during the gallant defence of J ellalabad, and lived to take part in the defence of Lucknow. An Afghan sabre-cut, glancing from a book he had in his forage-cap, shore away a piece of his skull so that a finger could be placed in the wound.

Bishop Dupanloup.

Bishop Dupanloup was loved and feared by his own people ; he was greatly disliked by the ‘‘anti-clericals,” but was respected by all parties. His intense activity made him one of the most prominent men in France. He died with all his armor on, at the advanced age of seventy-six years, and his place must long remain unfilled. lt might be said that he was born into public and official life, for in 1828 he was in the service of the royal family as tutor, cate- chist, almoner. He was Vicar General of the Archbishop of Paris in 1837. In 1841 he had a professorship at the Sorbonne, and soon lost it because of a difficulty which he created by a lecture in which he denounced

thirty years he has filled that important post. His early attachments made Dupan- loup a Royalist in feeling, but he gave a reasonable support to the Government of the day. Religion, politics and literature felt the influence of his force. He was par- ticularly active in the work of education, and endeavored to create an interest in classical learning. He wrote pamphlets and essays on every subject, and his views upon all matters were original and stated in vig-

orous style. He was continually as- sailing, and was continually assailed. He was one of the boldest defenders of the Gallican Church, one of the

most vigorous assailants of the dogma of Papal infallibility, which he fought against in the Ecumenical Council, but the voice of the Church was the voice of God, and as soon as the Bishops pronounced upon the infallbility of the Pope, Dupanloup accept- ed the belief, and actively stood by it. A seat in the French Academy is the crowning glory in the life of a French savant; this Bishop Dupanlouy, obtained in 1854, but when M. Littre, the disciple of Comte, was given a seat in that great body, he resigned. No one had ever resigned before, so the resignation was not accepted, but the Bishop never returned. He sat in the

i875 was elected to the Senate. One of his latest publications was a fierce denunciation of the Voltaire centennial. An ardent Frenchman, loving his country, an active! politician, and earnest educationalist, a learned theologian and a good Catholic, Bishop Dupanloup opposed actively, un- tiringly and always, the group of literary men, like Hugo, Littre, Simon, who are doctrinaires. He did his duty as he saw it, asa man who cares nothing for conse- quences. He lived asimple, unostentatious life. He was a type of Thomas a Becket, modernized and retined by the civilization of the day. Somebody will take his place, but nobody in France can fill it.—St. John Telegraph.

A Portrait of Gladstone.

Vhe orld Says : ‘One of the pictures of the year 1879 will be a portrait of Mr. Gladstone, now, with two or three other portraits equally notable in subject, on the easel of Mr. Millais. The ex-Premier is taken standing in three quarters length, and almost in protile; there is a great deal of warm color in the background ; the head is entirely in light, and full of intense charac- ter; the treatment of the locks of stray hair on the forehead, and of the sharply de- fined frontal bones, is admirable as a study of individuality; so is the rugged yet refined drawing of the mouth. In no recent por- trait by Mr. Millais has there been a more striking and complete harmony between the idiosynerasy of the subject and the ex- ecutive manner of the artist. Every touch is characteristic of both the men.” This will be a great picture, only a portrait. But as the author of ‘‘Lothair” says, the great- est pictures of the world are ‘only por- traits.” Mr. Gladstone’s face, seamed with the lines of care and thought and am- bition, isa noble study; all the character of the man—his greatness, strength, force, perception, earnestness, malignity, want of humor—is there, and will be reproduced by Mr. Phoebus as Mr. Disraeli calls Millais in ‘*Lothair.”

it was a report to which I never attached much credence. Apart from the manifest indisposition of the Sultan and the Pashas to carry out reforms in Asia Minor, which it is thonght Midhat would have recom- mended, it is said that Lord Dufferin him- self has shown an indisposition to under- take a task, which, unlike his work in the Lebanon, gave no indication of being a suc- cess. His Excellency’s reputation is of far too high an order to be worth endangering by a mission to the territories of the Porte, unless he were armed with full and arbi- trary power in dealing with the corrupt offi- cials of the Ottoman Empire, and that, the Pashas of the Golden Horn are never likely to accord. The impression is growing here that the Anglo-Turkish Convention is likely to become a dead letter, in so far as the re- form of Asia Minor is concerned, for the present, and that it will require some more drastic mode of procedure than is possible under that agreement to enable Her Ma- jesty’s Government to deal with the evils which abound there. At any rate, you may depend upon the statement that in the present unsettled condition of politics in the East, Lord Dufferin will not accept an

The Disloyalty Cry.

How altogether absurd the disloyalty ery

onies and foreign dependencies, that of compelling them to trade exclusively with the Mother country. A country which thus se- cures to itself an extra foreign demand for its commodities, undoubtedly gives itself some advantage in the distribution of the general gains of the commercial world. Since, however, it causes the industry and capital of the colony to be diverted from channels which are proved to be the most productive, inasmuch as they are those into which industry and capital spontaneously tend to flow, there is a loss, on the whole, to the productive powers of the world, and the mother country does not gain so much as she makes the colony lose. If, there- fore, the mother country refuses to acknow- ledge any reciprocity of obligation, she im- poses a tribute on the colony in an indirect mode, greatly more oppressive, and injuyi- ous than the direct. But if, with a more equitable spirit, she submits herself to cor- responding restrictions for the benefit of the colony, the result of the whole trans-
