To the Editor of the Examiner ;
Drar Sir,—The reading public may or may not have been edified by the controversy car- ried on in the columns of the Argus for the past few weeks, on the existence or otherwise
of the controversialists drew his inspiration from the safest source, and like David of old, alvanced to the combat armed with the sim-
word of God! “C. H.” appeals to the public to say whether he has gained his case in view of the evidence he has adduced; every profess- ing christian would unhesitatingly give a ver- dlict in his favor.
But besides a religious, the case presents a literary and intellectual aspect. The world would never have seen the terrific word pic- tures of Dante, the weird genius of Shakes- peare, the magnificent descriptions of Milton, or the inimitable drollery of Burns, had these writers been impressed with the negative opinions of the present day regarding the ex- istence of a literal place of punishment and the spiritual existence of satan. Now, these men were giants, compared to whose intellectual capacity the highest minds of the Nihilists of to-day are dwarfed into insig- nificance,

intercepted Letter.
My pear Coroner McG—.1,—Yours of a late date, asking for advice and instruc- tion as to the best means of carrying on the present political campaign, and so forth, and ‘so forth, has been received, and I cheerfully hasten to give you such advice as my great experience entitled me to give. I think it was O’Connell that said that, in order to carry out reform, it was necssary to agitate, agitate, agitate. It is my opinion—and I think my opinion is, at least, worth as much as O’Connell’s—that, in order to be successful in your canvas,you must Prevaricate! Prevaricate! Prevari- cate! Ihave communicated my ideas on this point to our Premier, and he agrees with me that, in order to save our party from total route at the coming election, we must carry out the principles of Prevarica- tion in their integrity, and so forth, and so forth. Iam happy to bein a position to inform you that, with the majority of our party, the idea is popular. Particularly with those who, like inyself, have been try- ing to elevate the standard of public mor- ality, and so forth, and so forth. As you are aware, my whole political life has been governed by the principles of Prevarication; and, I think, all will agree that, as a repre- sentative of that principle, I have been a decided success. I eoimmenced my political career by agreeing to cast lots to decide whether I, or one of two others, should be the party candidate fora certain constituency. [ called heaven to witnessthat I would abide by the lottery, whether for or against me. The lot fell against me, but I prevaricated, ran the election and was elected ; and now [ama living monument of the power of prevarication. For a while I had a seat in Mr. Pope’s Cabinet, and tried hard to in- duce him to run his Government on pre- varication principles, but he treated me with scorn and contempt, and eventually edged me out of his Cabinet. For his re- jection of ine and my principles, I hate him with a perfect hatred, and so forth. I wish you could make it convenient to come and live with me for a week or two before the writs are issued, so that we might compare notes and decide on what you were tuo say in one locality and what in another. Al- though I believe you haye made good pro- gress in the art of misrepresentation, still you are by no means perfect, and there are many things I could teach you im that line. The first step you took was a good ene. Abusing the Local Government showed me at once that you were a man after my own heart. Itis perhaps to be regretted that you supported them in what you call their iniquitous legislation. But as many don’t know you did, swear you didn’t ; and, if anyone attempts to show by your votes that you did, say it is a printer’s mistake ; or, better, try and find some way to blame it on Pope. Whenever you get an oppor- tunity, be sure and lie straight about him every time. More next time.
Yours, fraternaily, K-n-t-H H-N-D-s-0-N. B. P. Road, July 27, 1878.

Who Pays the Taxes?
To the Editor of the Examiner :—
The Grits in this Island, in order to re- tain the well paid official positions which they occupy, and fearing that the hope of their gain is well nigh gone, are now, as they have always done, resorting to every expedient and torturing invention to find excuses by which to deceive the public in order to keep the present squandering and incapable Grit government in power.
It is amusing to see how vigorously Messrs. L. H. Davies & Co. harp upon the, trade question—a question introduced de- | signedly to divert attention from the | scandals of the present McKenzie Grit gov- | ernment. tose |
At a public meeting held by the Grits in the Athenzeum, on the 23d inst. (which ' meeting by the way was largely made up of Liberal Conservatives who went to see the fun) Mr. L. H. Davies, in his or and hifalutin style, endeavored in the most feeling manner to impress the people present
ings, Merchandise and Produce. Also, on Vessels on the stocks. Speeial rates for isolated residences, Losses settled promptly. GEORGE MACLEOD (Union Bank), Agent for Prince Edward Island June, 1877— UBSCRIBE for the DAILY EX- AMINEE, the Cheapest and most newsy Paper publi in the Province,
| with
idea that the Liberal-Conservatives,
if they came into power, intended to in. crease the volume of taxation, and thereb increase the poor man’s cost of living. This was the whole gist of his argument—an argument based on the proposition that ‘the consumer pays the taxes.” Now, sir, the fallacy of this position is exposed and its falsity proved by a very simple process— Davies, Stewart & Co. im- posed a tax of $32,000 on the farmers of this Island. Davies, Stewart & Co. con- sume the taxes; therefore, Davies, Stewart & Co pay the taxes—never was villiany de- picted in the face of any sinner with greater prominence than does falsehood in the above, and yet this isthe kind of logic with which the Premier of Prince Edward Is- land plyes his dupes. Now, Sir. we will test the correctness of Mr. Davies’ theory by the following sylogism: The consumer pays the taxes, Davies, Stewart & Go. con sume the taxes. Therefore, Davies, Stewart & Co. pay the taxes; that is Grit logic with a vengeance. I cheerfully admit that Davies, Stewart & Co. are heavy consumers of the article called taxes, and no doubt would consume more if they could. Yet I deny that Davies, Stewart & Co. pay the taxes; and, therefore, Davies’ logic fails; his con- clusion is not in his premise. Is it not a fact that. Davies, Stewart & Co. , like the lawyers, scribes and pharisees, the Hypocrites of old, have bound heavy burdens and grievous to be bourne on the shoulders of the people of this Island; while they,like their counter-parts of old, have so frained the law that they are exempted from touching the burden with even their little finger.
They talk and jabber about the consumer paying the taxes, while they themselves are in fact a living refutation of their own the- ory. But what better can be expected from the aiders, abettors, supporters and apologists of extravagance, corruption, ne- potism and jobbery ! Instance thé steel rails and Lunatie Asylum foundation scan- dals.
There must be some powerful lever that moves Mr. Davies to display so much zeal about election times; and what is that lever! Why, the thousands of dollars that he and his relations get from both the Local and Dominion Governments. Mr. Davies’ interest is confined to a circle of which he is the centre and his relatives the circum- ference, and hence his anxiety to dupe his votaries so,

THE McCARTHY MURDER.
DorCHEASTER, July 25.
Mr. Palmer this afternoon continued the cross-examination of Dr. Allison on the probabilities of the blood-spouting from the mouth and occupying a different position on the body from the one already described. He asked witness if he knew of any drug that would answer the description of the powder described by Annie Parker as given to McCarthy, Witness knew of none. Me- Carthy’s hat was then shown, and witness said blood could. be easily detected upon the hat if not wet immediately after. b Palmer claims that the description of the murder detailed by Annie Parker would necessitate the presence of blood.
Dorcnester, July 26.
Dr. Allison’s re-examination was resumed this morning, touching slightly on the test of blood stains. He says that the Guaia- cum test does not depend on albumen or iron ; also that a body in the water seven months would: not come in contact with a suflicient quantity of iron to produce the stains found on McCarthy’s shirt.
Q@uestion—lfi a body, insensible, drunk, or neither, falling 30 feet, strikes a hard substance and goes into the water, and re- mains there seven months, is it possible for a blood-stain, like vou found on McCarthy to be produced as the susult of the fall ond going In the water !
Answer—No, neither would such be the result nad the body gone into the water be- fore striking the substance.
Here the witness next explained that the body treated as Mr. Palmer had previously explained and raising in the water against the logs in the river would be evidence that putrefaction had set in.
Mr. Palmer then began to «question the witness, explaining that he wished his ques- tions to be understood as on mechanical force and medical science.
The doctor’s ideas were identical with the theories and chemical processes given and explained by him yesterday, and, therefore, a verbatim report would only tend to w instead of instructing the mindsof the - ing public. '
The doctor's evidence up to this morning has been listened to with great interest, which just now seems beginning to flag on account of the very searching examination the witness is subjected to at the hands of the learned connsel (Mr. Palmer), seeming to be away down in the very depths of natural philosophy, chemistry, analysis, &c.
The next witness will he Dr. Scott, prob- ably this afternoon. :
Most of the talk on the streets is the Osborne ease.
This afternoon Dr, Allison explained that the ice having gone out of the Seadouc river, the rising of the bedy would depend upon the temperature of the water, and if the ice went out, and the temp re of the water continued the same, h yond not expect the body to raise; if the —tenipera- ture of the water was 33° when tlie ice went out, it would have to raise 17° before the body would raise. Knowing the state of temperature of air and water here, hi expect a body to raise in three or four doy,
