treasury. The Island having since enter’ ‘djman, and
into Confederation, the attention of the General Government hasbeen directed to the unfinished state of this public work, with a view toits speedy completion.
The completion of this work, whilst de- veloping the ample resoures of the part of the Province in which it is situated, would also tend to advance the interests of the Dominion generally, by the new impetus given to trade in this, one of its fairest Provinces.
Another and chief advantage accruing to the Dominion at large, would be the im- mediate formation of a harbor of refuge—a want readily admitted, when it is re membered that throughout the entire coast line, extending from the port of Souris on the south side to that of St. Peters on the north side, a distance of upwards of 50 miles, no harbor of refuge exists.
The waters in the vicinity of this Cove abound in fish, particularly mackerel and codfish, as is conclusively proved by the presence of the fishing fleet ranging in num- bers from one to a hundred sail at all times during the fishing season.
Owing to the nature of this coast, fishing
has to be carried on in large boats; and;
when the wind is on shore, these beats have to be hauled up a considerable distance in order to save them. About fifty of these boats are owned in the vicinity of this Cove, and the hardships which our brave fisher- men undergo in prosecuting their business, owing to the want of a proper harbor of refuge, are only too well known.
A survey of this place and work was made on the 15th inst., by the Engineer in charge of public works in Prince Edward Island.
In the interests of humanity, as well as for the pecuniary benefits which would re- sult from the construction of this work, it is hoped that a grant of money will be given by the Government for its completion at no distant day.
Which is Correct ?
Tue Montreal Star—a paper which stronyly supports Mr. Joly—says that from five to six thousand people were present at the Letellier demonstration in Montreal. Another Montreal paper computes the num- ber at about two thousand. But the Char- lottetown Patriot boldly states that /ifteen thous:nd of the free and independent were present! Which is the correct number? Is it possible that some one is reporting untruthfully from Montreal ?

Tux gold fever in Queen’s County, N Scotia, is increasing. On Taesday’ last 2 brick of gold was brought to Halifax from Montague, which welaben 397 ounces, valued at $7,000—the product of 14 men for a month. A letter from Queen’s County, referring to the gold discoveries there, says the excitement is intense; ne one outside of Queen’s County <an iormany ideaof the feeling that runs rampent in the minds of those who are in- terested in this work. No one has the least difficuity in goes specimens. ‘To show that this is truth, we may say one man
lcrounds,” he may, with impunity, be called
nicknames by the editor of a journal claim”
ling to be respectable. On theso grounds th® | editer himself may be nicknamed ; for the | editor ofa public journal is a public man, and it is just as preper to call him ‘Henry the Unclean,” as it is to call Mr. Ferguson ‘Donald the Unsound,’’—it is just as pro- per to call him *‘a literary rowdy,” to call Mr. Ferguson ‘‘Pecksniff.” There is no doubt, whatever, that ‘‘on pub- lic grounds” the words here applied to the editor are infinitely the aptest. No great public question can be named in the dis- cussion of which the editor of the Patriot can show a perfectly clean record; while nobody had dared to say that Mr. Ferguson has not been sound and true to Confeder- ation, to the railway, to every public cause he ever espoused. The literary ruffianism of the editor is shownin nearly everything he writes ; but we look in vain for any in- stance in which Mr. Ferguson took credit for the work of other men, or displayed any of the characteristics which belong to the contemptible name of * Peckeniff.”
But the editor of the Patriot says he calls nicknames on ‘‘ public grounds.” May we ask in what way the public interests are ad- vanced by, week after week, calling Mr. Ferguson ‘‘ Donald the Unsound,” ‘‘Peck- sniff,’ etc.? In our opinion the use of such language by a public journal— the acknowledged organ of one of the politi- cal parties ef which ‘‘ the public” is made up—tends rather to degrade the popular mind and to bring politics into contempt in the eyesof those who cannot be brought dewn to the level of nicknames.
We solemnly protest against the doctrine of the Patriot thata public man may be nicknamed, and that a public journal may become scurrilous, on public grounds. We protest further against the way Mr. Fer- guson is being pursued by his political op- ponents. It is patent to everyone who takes the trouble to observe, that Mr. Ferguson is remarkably attentive to his official duties; that he is courteous to a fault tothose who, ‘‘ on public grounds” have legitimate complaints to make ; that he is exceedingly carefulof the public money placed at his disposal ; that he is working heart and soul in the interests of the Prev- ince, and striving his utmost to make the limited means at his command go as far as possible in the construction and repair of pul: works. Itis hardly possible that he should continue to administer the affairs of the public as required by his department without making some mistakes. But, so far, he has made none worth mentioning; and the incessantly savage attacks of his enemies have therefore failed to make any impression upon the public by which he is supported and upheld.

Dominion Rifle Meoting.
The annual prize meeting of the Domin- ion of Canada Rifle Association was formally opened at Ottawa on the 16th. Competi- tors kept constantly arriving and the secere- tary and his assistants were kept hard at work reeeiving entries. The entries are 250. Nova Scotia is represented in this match by thirty-four, New Brunswick by seventeen, Prince Edward Island by twelve, Manitoba by seven, Ranges, 500 and 600 yards, seven rounds at each; any position. Fifty prizes, value $385. The weather was clear and fine on the 15th and it was con- fidently expected that the riflemen were going to have fine weather the whole week. it was cloudy on the 16th however, and a strong breeze was blowing most of the time, greatly interfering with the shooting. Firing began at 10.30 a. m., the competitors being led off by the Minister of Militia who scored a bull’seye. At one o’clock lun- cheon was served in the council tent. The chair was occupied by Lieut. Col. Gzowski, A. D. C., to Her Majesty the Queen, who was supported upon the right by the Hon. Mr. Masson, Minister of Militia, and on the left by Lieut.-Gen. Sir Edward Selby Smythe, and among thosearound the festive board were noticed the following prominent military gentlemen :—Lt.-Col. Laurie, Capt.
Col. Worsely, Capt, Tilton, Major McPher- son, Lt.-Col McPherson, Capt. Masson, and several others. The only toast pro- posed was that of Her Majesty the Queen, and there were no speeches. During the afternoon one of the men at the butts was somewhat injured by been struck on the forehead wi aspent bullet. About 5.30 o’clock, a heavy rain storm came on and put a stop to the proceeding. At that time the shooting at the second range in the all-
was out there only one hour and —— back} comer’s match had not been completed and

* Tue Montreal Post says: - ‘‘A few million dollars distributed among our merchants and manufacturers just now, weuld be about the best thing that could happen, not only them, but Canadians all over. The surplus of our I splendid harvest, taken over the ocean and ‘sold in European markets, will, in all pro- bability, bring about that desirable result, which, coupled with the undoubted good effect of the N. P. so far, will, let us sincerely hope, ‘bestow upon us a fair share of prosperity.
GeNerAL Tom THuumep and troupe were greeted by an uncomfortably crowded house last evening. The entertainment was pleasing in every respect. The General has grown very corpulent since his first appearance in this city; but his lady retains all her former attractions, and is as winning as_ ever. Major Newell is wonderful in his perform. ances. lis appearance on the stage was at all times greeted by rounds of applause. The entertainment is well worthattending. Those who had not the pleasure of witnessing it, should not fail to attend this evening.
Tut Prixcrss Lovise.—There never was any real ground for the assiduously circulated report that the Princess Louise would return to England this year, but she will probably pay a visit to this country next spring. Lord Lorne will not accompany her. He likes$his post very much, but finds the work far harder than he had anticipated.—7 ruth, Sept. 4.
