SEPTEMBER 25, 1879.

A Oustoms Grievance.

Inspector Kerr, of the Customs Depart- ment has directed that all cases and bales of goods imperted into “Charlottetown be opened and the goods inspected by apprais- ers. This is not, we are informed, done anywhere else; and the merchants who have goods in the ‘‘ Prince Edward” which ar- rived last night, are indignant, as the ap- praisement involves a delay of several days and a consequent loss of money. A good reason should be given for the embargo, or it should at once be taken off. Weare at aloss to understand why mer- chants importing in a legitimate way should not receive their goods on payment of the duties levied upon the articles mentioned in their invoices ; and we trust the griev- ance will immediately be enquired into by the authorities at Ottawa.

Germany, Austria and Russia.

Prince Bismarck is visiting Vienna. The object of the visit is a matter of con- jecture. But an Austrian semi-official journal says that if, during the exchange of views between Prince Bismarck and Count Andrassy, the interests of Germany in Austria are found to be parallel, a writ- ten understanding may be drawn up relative to’all European combinations.

A correspondent of a Paris paper ‘recent-

ly interviewed Gortchakoff. The Russian Chancellor is reported to have said that he has not varied his policy for twenty-four years ‘that he has always deprecated a prolonged; weakening of Fance, as a deplorable fact in the European concert ; and that to this ever avowed opinion was doubtless due to the hostility with which Prince Bismarck honored him. In reference to a suggested coalition of Germany, Austria and possibly Italy, against Russia and France, he said ‘*Russia has no fear of a war of invasion ;- but it is as well to vigilant.” He saic the Russian and German Emperors highly es- teemed each other,and their'affection would certainly suffice to smooth down the slight differences which might arise.

The Outrage at Cabul.

Iv appears that as early as the 16th of August tle Ameer advised Major Cavag- nari ‘‘to discontinue the custom of riding about Calul and its vicinity, as an attempt might be made on his life” ; and the Major replied that if he were killed there were many more in India who would be ready to act as his successors. It seems that no fewer than twelve Afghan regiments took part in the attack on the Residency, and that they sustained a loss of two hundred and ten nen before the British Envoy and his staff were overpowered by numbers.

Sir A.'T. Galt on the Relations of Canada with the Mother Country.

— ——

Sm A. T. Gatr has expounded the National Policy to the Associated Cham- bers of Helfast, Ireland ; and we venture to predict that his statements will have a good effect on the Mother Country. We shall devote nore space than we can at present spare to this exposition. Sir A: T. Galt concludes in these words :

“Consider for a moment the importance of dealing in such a manner with Canada alone. She has hundreds of millions of acres of the finest wheat and pasture land in the world waiting to be occupied by the crowde:| thousands of this country ; she has the greatest forests, and the most prelific fisheries known; the mineral! treasures of British Columbia equal those of the United States; while her government and institu- tions insure the truest liberty to all. Send out to Canada the snuffer- ing tenant farmers and operatives of Eoglan:| and Ireland—tlet them raise your supplies of wheat and cattle instead of foreignors, and in return'let them buy your goods. Nv longer look with indifference on tae settlement of your emigrants in the United States, remembering that they speedily become your competitors. And the time is within the Ilves of those who hear m2 when you will haveon the con- tinent of America, in the word of the late Lord Lytton, ‘‘a series of States stretching

! York

half the rent must annually ensue.”

Gen. Grant In San Franciscc.

LEFERRING to the magnificent reception of General Grant at San Francisco,the New Herald extraordinary ovation is, in great part, a reflex cof the honors paid him in his tour through the principal countries of the Old World. It would seem stolid and churlish if his own countrymen failed to appreciate the career whick has made General Grant an object of curiosity, attention and unprecedented courtesies in every part of the world to which the light of Christian or Moham- medan ‘or heathen civilization has pene- trated. General Grant’s own countrymen may feel a justifiable pride in a career

which has attracted such universal homage. — ——— <a> —~ - onan

The Chinese §windler.

The Chinese swindler is the sharpest in the world, beyond doubt, and the follow- ing incident narrated by a Foochow journal, is an example in point. A native bullion broker recently called at a gold shop and offered four gold bars for sale, stating that the bars weighed only 38 taels, instead of 40, the proper weight. The

dealer when weighing them found that his customer was mistaken and

that the bars weighed 5 taels more than they should have, rather than 2 taels less. Thinking to make a good bargain, therefore, he bought the bars aa weighing only 38 taels, and readily gave an acknowl- edgment in writing that they weighed only that amount. A subsequent examination showed the bars to be partly iron, but he could not prove that he bought them of the swindler, who had a written document to show that the bars he had sold weighed only 38 taels, while the adulterated ones weighed forty-five.

—— ae Tenant Farmers in England.

~~

The tenant farmers of England have adopted a regular form of petition to the landlords, asking for a reduction in rent from Michelmas next. Itis argued that, ‘“so radically have the conditions of farming recently changed, that we find it impossible even with experience,industry and economy, to occupy our holding without absolute and considerable loss.” It is also affirmed that ‘¢ all concur that on even the best regulated farms, under existing conditions a - of

t is whispered that the Government are serious- ly disposed to assist tenant-farmers. It has been suggested in a northern paper that a national subscription should be set on foot; or that loans should be advanced by the State, without interest, repayable by instal- ments—-similar to the plan adopted during the Irish potato famine. ’

Two BarLirrs—Charles Thomas and Wil- liam Callaghan—both strong, active, athletic young men, recently made their way to a house near the West Cape, P. E, Island, to arrest the owner. Mr. Strang. fer a debt of $300. It was about dark and Mr. Strang and his wife and a young girlabout 18 years of age wereinside. The door was not bolted, as the girl expected her young man to come along. ‘Strang knew that they were after him, and said to his wife that perhaps it would be better for him to sleepin the barn or in the woods. They were talking about their troubles when ‘‘crash” in comes the door and the two officers. Quick asa flash the wife jumped up and clutching Thomas by the collar of his coat, threw herself down on the floor, dragging down the bailiff with her; whilst at the same instant the girl rushed at Callaghan and tumbled him down also. The fighting and the rolling on the floor were terrific, and lasted for about ten minutes before the men got clear; but in the meantime Strang escaped and got off to the woods. The wife brought an action against Thomas for tramping on her and for other severe .injuries she re- ceived im the fracas; but Mr. Justice Small- man non-stited her.—St. John Telegrazh.

On Friday, the 12th inst., about 2 o'clock, yp. m., a fire occurred at Fort Augustus, by, which a barn, the property of Mr. Joha-Dufly, waa entirely consumed. ‘The barn contained 109 bush. wheat, 600 stooks of oats, besides a mowing machine and a number of farming im- plements. The fire originated from a spark falling from Mr. Duffy’s pipe into the grain while he was putting it an the cart in the field

and aiter been-put in the barn ib burst ont |

into a flame before it was noticed. Mr. Duffy, in attempting tosave some of his farming im- plements had a narrow escape from bein burned to death. As it was, he was hauled out of the burning luilding severely burat about the neck and chest. The loss sustained by the fire is $500, and ae no insurance, it will fnll heavily upon Mr. Duffy.—Herald ba es ;

if Our Roads and Bridges.

TESTIMONY OF A TRAVELLER. To the Editor of the Examiner.

Srr,—The editor of the Patriot and his correspondents are continually harping on the subject of bad roads and rotten bridges. This is not to be wondered at. The Patriot advertized for these complaints ; and it is only reasonable to suppose that they would come to it. Our reads and bridges were never so good but that there was some one to complain ; and when complaints are ad- vertized avowedly for the purpose of injur- ing a political opponent, the faithful are

sure to respond. Now, in regard to the roads, I am .m he habit of travelling a great deal on

them; and I ean. safely say that there never was more work done on the roads than there was this year. Moreover, they were never in a better condition than they were in until the late rains made them somewhat muddy. Every one knows that rainy weather will make our roads muddy, ‘no matter who is Commissioner of Public Works.

It is true there are a lot of rotten wharves and bridges on the Island; but whose fault is it? The present Commis- sioner of Public Works has been in office five months. Did the wharves and bridges all rot in that short time? Or did the late Commissioner leave them* in a rotten con- dition? Intelligent men are well aware of the reason why wharves and bridges are rotten. If the late Commissioner had made a better use of the people’s money there would not be so many complaints about bad bridges five months after he went out of office. If the people’s money, which he spent in high salaries and on a huge asylum altogether out of proportion to our resources, had been spent on wharves and bridges they would not be in as bad state of repair to-day. The legacy left by the late Commissioner to his successor, accord- ing to the Patriot’s own showing, is not one to be proud of; and if he has any shame he should blush when he reads the Patriot. Yours, etc., TRAVELER.
