‘Ottawa and Foreign Hews,

Orrawa, April 5.

The principal topic of conversation this morning was the Domville-Gillmor fracas of last night. It is a kind of family quarrel, both hailing from the same province that has been bitter on both sides for a number of years, the subject is all the more interesting. The language of both is strongly spoihinpaill although the friends of both declare that each was sufficiently provoked to rouse the other. The excitement in the _ cor- ridors when it was known that Mr. Domville sent in an invitation to Mr. Gillmor to come out was unequalled by the Bunster-Cheval pummelling last session. Had it not been for the friends of both parties there would have been a lively scramble in the corridors ; but hon. gentlemen would not allow Mr. Gillmor to go out nor Mr. Domville to go in, so the punching was dispensed with. The matter was finally settled by each withdrawing all the unparliamentary language that had been used.

The proposed amendments to the Insolvent Act have been prepared, Compositions are to be done away with altogether; interim assignees are only to have possession of an es- tate until the creditors meet, and not to be eligible to be appointed to the charge of it, and no discharge will be granted to an insolv- ent unless he obtains the consent of four-fifths of his creditors. It will be made anything but an inducement for aman to go into the Insolvent Court.

A despatch from Lord Chelmsford, enclos- ing a report dated March Ist, from the border agent at Amvoti Stules, that messengers from King Cetewayo had arrived there. Cetewayo asks the missionary Bishop to explain that he did not desire war and was sending persons whose surrender had been demanded by the British to be delivered to them at Rorke’s Drift when his messengers and pickets were fired at and a battle immediately occurred. The English General who permitted the battle to oceur is now in disgrace.

To the Electors of Charlottetown,

Common and Royalty:

ENTLEMEN,—Having been nominated |

at a large meeting of merchants, me- chanics, farmers, and other electors of Char- lottetown, Common and Royalty, representing both parties in Dominion politics, to run in conjunction with Mr. L. H. Davies, for the Local Legislature, I beg to state that I have accepted the nomination. If elected my best efforts will be directed to have the Law for the Registration of Voters so amended that no elector may be deprived of his privilege as a British subject, in recording his vote. I believe that by strict economy and retrenchment in the various departments of the public service, the expenditure of the| Province can be so reduced as to bring it with-) in the revenue, without resorting to direct taxation; and any measures having for their object the reduction of the taxes, or the repeal of the Assessment Act, if that be found pos- sible, will have my willing support. The state of the Provincial finances, as well as the depressed condition of all branches of trade, demand the strictest economy and retrench- ment. Certain members of the present Gov- ernment having declared their intention to place Charlottetown under the Assessment Act, I shall strenuously oppose any such measure. That Act was placed upon the Statute Book to defray the expenses of main- taining the roads and bridges of the country. The City taxes itself for that purpose, and it is, therefore, unjust that it should be compelled to contribute to aservice from which it derives no benefit. Charlottetown contributes largely to the} general revenue by its consumption of duitable | goods. This revenue is repaid the Province | in the shape of subsidy. he subsidy is also | largely made up by the 80 cents per head of the population. It will, therefore, be my duty to see that Charlottetown gets a fair share of the Revenue thus derived. Any measures having in view the improve- ment of the position of the Mechanicsof this my native city, and the protection of thei: indus- try by the adoption of a just Lien Law, will, I need hardly say, have my warmest support, whilst at the same time 1 shall endeavor to see that the rights and interests of other classes are in no way infringed upon. Having had an experience of upwards of 25 years in business, I claim to have some know- ledge of the wants of the people. If elected, my best endeavors shall be put forth to

romote their interests. My motto is country first, party afterward, and fair play to all.

I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Yours ar HOMAS MORRIS.

GRAND CONCERT

Variety Entertainment! Under the Auspices of St. Patrick’s Band,

IN ST. PATRICK’S HALL,

---ON—

To the Electors of Charlotte- town, Common and Roy alty :

™ ENTLEMEN,—Having, at a large and ( MK intluential meeting of the Liberal-Con- servative Electors of Charlottetown, Common and Royalty, been nominated a Candidate for your suffrages at the coming General Election, 1 have accepted the nomination, and now solicit your support for myself, as also for my colleague, the Honorable Neil McLeod.

Inthe late Government, as a Free School man, I performed that which I considered to be for the true interests of all classes, by assiat- ing to place on our Statute Books a thorough non-sectarian School Act. This Act, althou it may—like most others —require amendment, has, 1 am pleased to believe, proved generally acceptable to every class and creed in the

>rovince, and all now cheerfully agree that its non-sectarian principle must be kept in- vivlate.

I rejoice that the harsh line of religious party differences has been obliterated, and that all denominations can henceforth stand shoulder to shoulder for the purpose of striv ing in unison to carry out such measures of | economy and retrenchment in the Administra- tion of Governmental affairs as the changed as- pect of commercial and other business matters in the Province have rendered absolutely necessary.

Should I have the honor to be returned te the Assembly as one of your representatives, an object of mine shall be to meet all reason- able and honest endeavors that may be made to lessen the burthen of taxation, which, in the present state of general financial depres- sion, is undoubtedly necessary; and to aid any legitimate legislation that may tend to the well-being of every class in the commun- ity, and particularly of mechanics, who, as & body, through their own magnanimity, have notin the Assembly a representative from among themselves.

I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, G. W. DEeBLOIS. Ch’town, March 20, 1879.--he pres ar ne 23

To the Electors of Charlotte- town, Common and Roy: alty :

1 ENTLEMEN,—Having been nominated at a large and influential meeting of the Liberal-Conservative party as a candidate for Charlottetown, Common and Royalty for the House of Assembly of this Province, in con- junction with your late representative Mr. George Wastie DeBlois, I solicit your support and influence in behalf of Mr. DeBlois onl mys self at the approaching General Election, ©

Should you do me the honor of retu me as your representative, I shall consider it my duty to guard your interests in Parlia- ment, by advocating such measures as will most conduce to your prosperity.

In times like the present, of financial asd commercial depression, I will advocate mea- sures of economy and retrenchment in every branch of the public service in order to re- lieve the taxpayers as much as possible.

Believing that the interests of the mechanics require some consideration at the hands of the Legislature, I shall deem it my duty to ad- vocate all legitimate measures that will tend to promote their welfare.

I have the honor to be
