We clip the following from the Patriot of the d2th inst > ‘*‘ Mr. Liddell’s tenor song We have heard that, in yome places the reporters never leaves his iffice, but does all the local and foreign cor- yespondence there.

their mistakes, which, if they are not very’ H. M. Survey, of a son, might be apt rs -
do, describing scenes and concerts, &c.,}

Charlottetown Patriot does not aspire to either great brilliancy or carefulness, evi- |
dently from his report of the Concert last, ae, Possibly he ania have heard Mr, | 1
dell through a telephone, or maybe he | did not. At all events none of the andicnce, liad the pleasure of hearing Mr. Liddeil’s, ‘solo that night, for he was not there. This | kind of reporting may do for the Patriot. We don’t suppose any of the performers felt very much flattered by it.

Hlection Law!

‘DISPATCH, The
Special Dispatch to Examiner : Orrawa, April 11
Mr. Latlamme’s Amendment to the Elee- tiom Law provides for the adoption of the Annex System, by which the Returing Ofiicer is enabled to identify each ballot as that handed by him to the elector, without bein® able to ascertain for whom the el- ector has voted. An additional provision compels each voter claiming to be unable to make his ballot from ignorance, to take oaththat he igunable to read or write be- fore he can vote openly.
With these amendments, the Election Law will be rendered as nearly perfect as possible, and will afford every security as to voting, and against the abuses it has been amended to avoid.

[uerisosMENtT FoR Denris still in force in Prince Edward Island, and, as a speci- men of the working of this relie of barba- ism we may instance a case which has,oc- cured within the last few days. A poor ‘man from Strathalbyn, whose wife had _ re- cently died Jeavinga family of eight small children, was arrested for debt, and, with- out time being allowed him to arrange for his children being cared for, hurried off to Charlottetown jail. The distress and anxiety respecting his family’s safety and welfare Nave unhinged his mind, and the man is now a helpless maniac. Other cases almost equally painful are of frequent oc- currence, we believe. As the Island Legis- (lature is now sitting, we trust they will not ‘separate before blotting from the Statute | Book the odious Act providing Imprison- ment for Debt, and substituting an Attach- ment Law such as is im foree in this Pro- Monctan Tianes.
