or less frantic the frightiul extravagance which increased the expenditure of. the country from $15,500,000 im L867 to $23,-

‘300,000 in 1873-4.

. What is extravagance in its generally ac- cepted sense! Living beyond your income, or squanderiag your mcome or means reck-

lessly. Now, the old Government did not live beyond its income. Here are the figures :-—

Livpenditure, Reevenue. Surplu ws. 1867... $13,456,000 $13,637,000 “201,909 IS6S.. 14,038,000 14,379,000 341,000 /1S69.. 14,345,500 15,512,000 1, 166,509 1 1S7O0.. | 15,623,000 19,235, G00 3,712,609 fIST7L.. 17,589,500 20,714,800 3, 125,300 (1S72.. 19,174,500 20,813,500 1,638, 900 )AST3.. 23,516,000 24,205,000 5589, 000 $117.572.609 $128,647,800 $11,075,200

‘hese surpluses were applied to the con- sivuction of public works and to other ' Capital Account matters. Moreover, in the years referred to, a vast outlay was incurred by the extension of the Dominion and the Fenian raids, which may be ealled a special oatlay, particularly as the present Govern- ment has had nothing of the kind to meet. {t cannot be said, then, that the McDonald Ciovernment either lived beyond its income or squandered its income recklessly; indeed, Mr. Cartwright bore signal witness to this in his cireular to the London capitalists in 1875. But how is it with Mr. McKenzie and his colleagues! They told the people, and persuaded them too, that they would ent down the expenditure in every branch, not by a dollar here and fifty cents there, but enormously all round, after the manner of vigorous Reformers. Their figures are as follows, aequitting them as we have done above of all share in the expenditure of 1873-4, although they held office two-thirds of that year, and overran Mr. Tilley’s esti- mate of the outlay by 900,000.

Livpendit wre, Revrenwe.

ls74 $25,715,000 324,648,700 1875 24,488,400 22,587,600 1871 23,519,000 22,059,000

$71,720,400 $69,295,300

This shows a deficit in the three years of $2,425,100. 1t is apparent, therefore, that Mr. McKenzie has lived beyond his income; apparent also that he has not fulfilled his promise-to cut down the expenditure—in- deed, he has increased it. And, moreover, he has achieved this deficit although putting over three millions of extra taxes on the people! Sir John MeDonald reduced the taxes by three millions, and provided for the Fenian raids and the incorporation of the North-West, British Columbia, and Prince Edward Island, and yet saved $11,000,000 for Capital Account. He spent ltherally, because the revenue was a liberal one. But his successor, who was going to cut down and lop off and shave and shear, has actually ni more money on a smaller revenue. Mr. McKenzie was going to be careful and even niggardly in the years of great plenty, but he has been more extravagant in the years of famine. If a farmer has an income of $1,000 a year he may spend $990 of it on useful works about his place, in clearing and fencing and dragging out stumps, and still be economical, for his balance is on the right side. But when his income drops to $900 and he spends not only 2900 but $1,- 000, how can he then boast of his economy, burning the candle at both ends !

Quebec City Swindled.

Under the heading of ‘* Startling Develop- ments,” the Quebec Chronicle has the fol- lowing :—

“The officers of the City Corporation have recently sueceeded in unearthing a system of swindling which there is every reason to believe has existed for many years past, and has caused a loss to the city of hundreds of thousands of dollars. It ap- pears that, with a view of evading assess- ments, there are various parties in the city who have resorted to the most disgraceful tactics, some having become parties to the making of fraudulent deeds, in order to ex- ercise deception with reference to the an- nual value of rents of property, which, as our readers are aware, is the basis of cor- poration taxes and water rates.

The modus operandi of these dishonest tax-payers is as follows: In renting a pro- perty, an understanding is arrived: at be- ‘tween the proprietor and the tenant to de- ‘frand the corporation. The lease of the |property is therefore drawn up; in order to ‘convince the assessors, shotild they appear ‘to be doubtful about its annual value, that a less rental is paid than.is actually the ease. Thus when $5C0 rent annually is charged, it has been ascertained that in some instances the lease has been so made as to appear as if but $300 was paid ; the balance of $200 being either settled for in cash or by note, when the lease is made. in an interview yesterday with the Mayor, our reporter was told that fully $50,000 per annuni must be lost to the corporation by this system of roguery. Of course this state of affairs must be put an end to as quiekly as possible, and we learn that the City Solicitor is presently engaged in con- sidering the best means to be adopted to promote this end.”

The report of the Council of the Royat Colonial [nstitute, presented at the annual meeting of the 28th ef June, thus: con- cludes :--‘*The readiness with which Canada has evinced her desive to contribute forces, if necessary, to fight for Great Britain, and the measures taken by the Anstralian colonics to bear their part in any struggle that might unhappily arise, have refuted the unworthy insinuations that the colonies would abandon the mother country if they found it likely that they might be involved in any war in which she was engaged. The magnificent colonial contributions to the Indian famine fund have no less proved that they are prompted by nobler senti- ments towards every part of her dominions of sympathy, loyalty and love. In fact it is becoming more and more evident that if anything was wanting to demonstrate the strength of the tics which unite its people together as one nation, it would be the chance of « foreign attack upon, or the ex- istence of a widespread calamity in, any portion of the British Empice.”

THE McCACTHY MURDER.

DoRCHESTER, Aug, 12.

Shortly atter the Court opened this after- noon, Mr. Palmer proceeded to close his ad- dress, saying that he would give them an idea of the real truth and construction of the case. Hethen referred to his com- plaints against the Crown on Saturday for not having inquired into Parker’s history, and also the expense imposed upon the prisoners, and their being totally unable to make the inquiry themselves. He did not ind fault-with the Crown for making the strictest inquiry in the finding of Me- Carthy, and, as the history and character of the Parker girl had been neglected, he would do it to its fullest possible extent, as a bad girl, thrown upon the streets, mother- less, her virtue gone, no moral principle to restrain her, and then it would be seen whether a man could be hanged on her tes- timony. McCartliy’s relations had done perfectly right in making the search for him, but not in attempting, by all means, tomake a thorough case against the prisoners. No doubt they did not think they were wrong, but they were. They thought this girl must know something about him, as he was at Osborne’s that night, where she was. Two declarations were then made | He could shew that An- nie Parker had told she was bribed to swear that Osbornes murdered him. He then re- ferred to the declaration she made, not mentioning the Scadonc till the hat wae found there. Then, along in December, she begins her story that the hatchet was used. He could show that. the Osbornes had a hatchet, but it was after McCarthy was there. She knew about the handle and manufactured her story to suit. She also knew the bed cord. She had cut pieces from it at different times, and when she, in her story, is deficient in a rope, she knows just where to get it. Then people will say a a a Lae corroboration; when, if they would look at contradicto ints they would see that it was all comiridiction’ Then the swing comes. “Of course they use the rope, but we find there is no trath in it, for there was no swing. She had told he was taken out t front door. Soon she saw this would not do, because the bar-room door would be more convenient, and then adds to her yarn that the bar-room door was nailed up. To corroborate her testimony she finds nails broken off where Grattan had it -nailed when he run the house. He had proved that Osbornes did not have it nailed.

The next thing was the wagon. Hickey could not tell whether it had rungs or not, so Annie stuck to the rungs. When White's wagon is said to be there, away go the rungs, and she swears it had none. Well, how can she describe the Scadouc plain enough? The woman who goes with every man opportunity throws in her way, has been out for a walk and met Mr. W up the Scadouc, and in her rambling she gets the desired information. She also said first that Harry took silver from his pocket; now all ne had taken was er money, and the press will say it gee. rates. They say she is wonderful,—so she is wonderful in iniquity. There is no reason in her, but for quickness and readiness of answers, he would put her against anything. Some say this is evidence of honesty and truthfulness, but it was not, as he would show. He then quoted authorities in of- position to such an idea. He will show that her story has been woven step by step, not- withstanding the Telegraph at Times had come out and published all through the streets and to the public at large that her story wonderfully corroborated with each and every item, yet if rightly construed they were in his favor. He then referred to Eliza denying the three men being there. He knew that the whole family but Harry were under the impression that they were not there. He thought at ome time they were not there ; he thought at one time it would be fortunate if these men had been there, for it would be impossible for them to commit a murder and these men in the house. If they killed McCarthy, his word for it they would know all who were in the house before they began such a fearful tragedy. They did not keep run of their boarders, being without a register, but on such an eventful night it was quite evident they would have knowu the occupants of the house. He then referred to the coat. Mr. Osborne had Stephen MeCarthy’s coat bor- rowed and wore it to Moncton. Now, it would be natural for that woman to tell him that people would know Me- Cart»y’s coat there, and he better not
