Legislative Counc) Hiection.

We shall not attempt to vie with the} Patriot in the use of abuse. In that, | we are content that the Patriot should reigt supreme.

ini two articles published last week we stated the nodentable facts of the case, leaving to the intelligent electors the task of reasoniog from those facts, aud arriving at a conclusion.

But the Patriot says our ** reasoning is weak.”” We will admit that, consider- ing the strength of our facts, our reason ing is not so strong as it might be; for we depend not so much upov our reason- ing as upon the facts.

Let us look to the results so far as they are yet apparent. It is very significant of the effect Tue Examiner’s articles have had upon the country, that not one of, the Oppositionist caudidates have dared, iv the tace of public opinion, tu say that a Secoud Chamber is necessary in this Province. Even the President at the Legisiative Council himself, with th« Patriot at hia back, does not, in his card, say that the Legislative Council is re- quired. We ask the particular atten- tion of the Leyislative Council electors to this fact Mr. John Balderston, who has, for several years sat at the head of the Legis'ative Council Board, has not, himself, the hardihood to come before the taxpayers of his district with a state- ment that the. Council is wanted, and that the money expended upom its mein- bers has beeu money well spent !

In poiot of fact, the position taken by Mr. Balderston is much closer the ground takeu by THe Examiner than it is to that taken by the Patriot.

Mr. Balderston favors a reduction of the Legi-lature to one Chamber, and de- clares that he will support “any measure” ‘provided the controlling isfluence is re- tained to the property-bolders.” The dif- ference, ou this point, between Mr. Balderston aud THe ExaMINER seems to be merely that Mr. Balderston deems the protection of property-holders to be the main thing to be considered in the election, while we deem the reduction of the Legislature to be of the first import- ance at this jupeture.

We claim that the controlliog influence is now, and must ever be, under any cir- cumstances, so lovg as we have free representative Goverument, iu the hands ot property holders, We contend that the best possible protection property hoiders can now have is a reduction of the Legislature, which will increase it- efficiency and lessen the expense property holders are compelled to bear.

At a rovgh estimate, property-holders under our free franchise, number as nine to one of the electors of this ‘Pro- vince; and by reason of the influence their property gives them, property- holders practically coutrol the votes of those who have not property. So that, not only a “controling influence,” but practically ALL THE INFLUENCE must ever remain in the hands of the property- holders. Look at the men who have been elected under the Free Franchise. Will it be contended that the Hon, Daniel Gordon, the Hon. Jobo Lefurgey. the Hon. John Yeo, the Hon. Neil Me- Leod, the Hon. Donald Ferguson, the Hon. W, W. Suilivan, the Hon Samue! Prowse, the Hon. William Campbell, the Hon. Joseph O. Arsevault, or G. W. DeBlois, or Patrick Blake, or A. J. McDonald, or Donald Farquharson, or Peter Sinclair, of G. W. Bentley, or A. E. C. Holland, or Dovald McK»y or Henry Beer,— will it be ecortended that these men who include some of the rich- est men of the country—would de- liberately combine to attack the rights of property, or that Mr. Balderston and his tellow Councillors are better pro- tectors of the rights of preperty than they are? Every member of the Popular Chamber is necessarily a property holder or a pe: jurer ; aud in view of this fact, it is evident that the ery of M: Balderstoo aad - his colleagues—who have not, like the Patriot, the effrontery to stand up for the necessity of a Second Chamber—is raised to humbug the electors.

Editorial Echoes.

—There is an Agrarian trouble in the Isle ot Skye; and the troops at Fort George, Scotiaud, have been ordered to hold themselves in readiness to proceed thither to thaintain order during the service of processes upen the crofters.,

—Advices from Germany state that the Government is making every en- deavor to prevent an alliance of the Conservatives with the Clerical Party, and to effect a union of Free Conserva- tives and moderate National Liberals,

Tue Duke of Edinburgh has become the tenant of the Home Farm at East- well. The holding is about 200 acres in extent. The Duke entered into posses sion last spring, and some splendid droves of Southdown sheep have already been installed, in addition to numbers of shaggy Scotch bullocks and Channel Islands cattle. His Royal Highness’ aim, therefore, seems to be to keep in stock aud produce, the best kinds of beef, mutton, milk, and butter, but little of which, it is expected, will be sent to the | market.” We'can hardly offer the Duke a better wish than that he may become as vood a farmer as his illustrious

brother.

Tuesd+y will be.-devoted to the preliminary examina- tion, in which the subjects are penmanship, orthography in English and French, arith- metic, and reading and handwriting in both anguages. The preliminary examination is also the qualifying examination for the lower grades of the service. The candi- dates for clerkships who satisfactorily pass the preliminary examination will be ad- mitted te the qualify ny examination on the nex! day. The subjects fur Wednesday are penmanship, orthography, English aud

French transcription, arithmetic, and geog- |

raphy particularly relating to Canada. On Friday morning the qualifying examination will be continued, the subjects being Bri'- ish, French, and Canadian history. Eng lish or French grammar, English or French ompositions, The afternoon and Saturday will be voted to optional subjects, which incl ide bookkeeping, composition in Eng- lish or French, translation, shorthand, and precis writing and telegraphy. Certificates will be granted those who pass in the quali. fving examination without any opucnal subjects There will be no examinations for promotion at this time.

—The mystery of the Comets tail is ‘esting the ingenuity of Astronomers. An English scientist in the October num ber of the Philosophical Magazine pro- pounds a novel theory to explain these phenomena. The forces on which he relies to make out his theory are the force of gravity which urges the comet toward the suu, the expansive force of the snn’s heat and the resistence of an in- visible atmosphere surrouncing the sun at immense distances. The changes in acomet which give rise to its tail begiu with the emission of iets of gas, in the direction determined by the expansive force of the sun’s heat, acting on the comet. But soon these jets bend

. . | round, as if carried back by a strong

wind forming an envelope round the body of the comet and a cone behind it, as would soov happen to a man dressed in a loose robe and ravning rapidly against the wind. caping from the body of the comet and expanding when they leave it are more resisted by the sun’s atmosphere than its more solid head, so that they seem to fall behind it, forming tie comet's envelope and covieal from behind the head. According to this view the ef the comet is constantly moving through the vapors it throws off, aud thus produces the appearance of a tail by leaving each successive part thrown off more and more behind it. After passing its perihelion the comet car: ies its tail before it instead of behind it, he

says, becanse while moving toward the |

sun it is perpetually passing from a rarer into a deuser medium, while in receding from the sun it is perpetually passing from a denser iuto a rarer medium.

A MAN of science and an epicure, is author- ity tor the statement that the reason of the superior taste of the fish served in Holland, is that the Dutch fishermen kill their fish as soou as they are taken from the water. instead of leaving them to die slowly out of their element.
