Tue attempt made in yesterday's Patriot Lo claim credit tor Messrs Hector 4 Me- Donald and F. Peters for the survey of the Liillsb toh River, with a view to ascer- taining the erst of c nstructing a bridge, 1s too silly to eall for any consideration. That modesty and straightforwardness which is so characteristic of these gentleman, is evi- dent in the Patr i's reference to this mat- toi ¥he people who took part in the meeting held in Mount Her- bert & lhouse last January, and exacted

: Beef 9 a promise from the candidates for the Bel- fast and Fort Augustus Districts, count for n ing: but all must be credited to the - ) wonderful ability of Messrs. McDonald and Pete it was on Mr. Ferguson the duty de ived of carrying out the resolution of t Mount Herbert meeting, and he has done it, even to the satisfaction of the Op- ea of pos 1 Party. In proof of this we will ‘uote the following reselution, which was unanimously adopted by the House of As- sel ly

Whereas, The want of proper facilities for crossing the Hill-borough River,has, for many ye 8, Oo easioned great inconvenience and serious p cuniary loss to the people on the south side of the said river;

i ts, The residents of that import- ant section of this Province, thus pre judicial'y aff-cted by the want of the facilities, have special claims for aid from the Provincia! Government ;

ere re Resolved, That the House ap- proves of the action of the Government In

ertaking a survey by a competent engineet of the said river in order to asceitain the cost of a bridge

The Patriot's quibble that the correspon- lence with the engineer at present en gaged inthe survey was not entered on

until after the matter had been discussed in

the House of Assembly, is intended to con- vey a false impression. The correspon- dence placed on the table of the House

shows that the Government took early action in the matter.

(he people interested in the matter wil]

ot fail to observe that every member of the House is on record as voting in approvaj

the action taken by the Government.

The Chancery Court.

Y

The evidence and arguments in the case of Donald Farquharson against Ronald Me- | Millan before the Vice-Chancellor was con- | cluded last evening. The parties are joint owners of the steamer William and the laction has arisen out of the management of that vesse! by Mr. McMillan, the managing owner. Mr. Farqubarson charges that the i steamer has not been managed in a careful |and prudent manner, and asks the Court to | interfere and appoint another manager, and also to have the accounts referred in order to have certain charges disallowed. The case has been before the Court since Mon- day, the 12th inst. Yesterday afternoon Mr. McLeod, Q. C,, on behalf of the de- fendant, addressed the Court at some length. He was followed by Mr. Hodgson, Q C., for the complainant, after which the Vice Chancellor reserved judgment and ad- journed the Court.

The Confession of Faith. PRESBYTERIAN GENERAL AS- N. Y.

ACTION OF THE

SEMBLY AT SARATOGA,

In the Presbyterian General Assembly,in

session at Saratoga, N. Y., on the 16rh, the

committee on methods of effecting changes

in the Contession of Faith and the Constitu- tion of the Church reported :—

First, That since the differences of opinion as to the methods of amendment of the Con tession of Faith and the larger and shorter catechism are so marked and widespread it is unwise to raise the *‘ issues ” invoived in the general ass mbly ; second, that this church has always considered the doctrine of such material importance that changes in the doc- trinals should be made under greater restric- tions than changes or alverations in form of government, the book of discipline and the directory of worship ; third, that the methods of doetrinal alteration should be included in the constitution itself; fourth, that the church, speaking officially through the presby- teries, can alone determine with authority the question at issue.

Therefere, this committee recommends that the question be transmitted to the presby- teries, where there shall be addec to the form of government chapter xiii of amend- ments, providing, first, for the proposal by the general assembly to the presbyteries of amendments or alterations of the form of goy- ernment, book of discipline and directory for worsbip, but that these shall not be obligatory unless a majority of all the presbyteries ap- prove in writing ; and second, that alterations in the doctrinal standards shall not be pro- posed to the presbyteries unless they have been under consideration for one year by a comnmittee of not less than fifteen ministers and ruling elders, not more than two of whom shall be trom any one Synod; third, no alter. ations shal! be made in the proyvisiong of this

unless an overture from the general assembly submitting the proposed alterations shali be transmitted to all the presbyteries and be ap- {proved in writing by two-thirds of them; fourth, the general assembly must transmit to the presbyteries any overture submitted to it by one-third of all presbyteries ; fifth, any amendment so sujmitted and approved shall go into effect immediately after the general assembly shall have committed the faci.

The committee also recommended that the presbyteries be directed to answer the overtures as a whole by a simple yea or nay, te be reported to the stare clerk in time to be presented to the next general assembly.

Below is the platform, in brief, on which the Republican party in the United States appealed to the people at the last election. ‘The result showed that Protec- tion is as popular as ever among our Re- publican neighbors :

Resolved, That the great foundaticn of the prosperity of the United States is in the main- tenance of the employment and wage eai ning power of its people :

That the American citizen—whether native or naturalized should be protected in all his rights, both as a citizen at home and abroad, and as a laborer and wage-earner both on the land and on the sea :

That the Protective Policy of the United States is the true policy Creating the great- ness of nations. It is shown to-day by the success of the two strongest powers of Europe ~—Germany and France—whose protective systems have raised them to the front rank among the nations of the earth, in sharp con- trast with the we: k»ess and industrial di;- tress and internal quarrels of England, whom

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Letter From Mr. F. W. L. Moore.

S1r,--The long letter over the signature of ** Defendant,” in your issue of Saturday last, is too contemptible, both in style and substance, to call for any extended notice,

His statements, for the most part, carry their own refutation. For tae writer’s own good, however, |

would advise him to find out a little about his authorities and cases from some _ re- reliable source before thrusting them on the public. He first made the discovery that I was setting up a theory of individual and social rights, im direct oppositien to that which had been adopted by Blackstone and Mill. Having settled this in his own mind, but, evidently fearing it might not be so clear to his less logical fellow citizens, he now comes out with the further an- nouncement that I am at war with a deci- sion of the Privy Council.

He is just as far astray in this as in the other,

He says that my objection to the Scott Act is that it contradicts the principles of natural justice; that the Act has been sub- mitted to the highest court; and that, if it was open to such an objection, it would have been disallowed.

The great case in which the Scott Act came before the Privy Council was Russel vs. the Queen. | thought the substance of that case was of public knowledge. At all events, if ** Defendant” had read the offi- cial report, or had asked any of his legal triends about it, he would not have made such a mistake. The issue, as it came before the Judicial Committee, was one of dry law,—whether the Scott Act fell within the powers of the Dominion or of the Pro- vincial Parliament. They held that the subject matter of that statute was given by the British North America Act, to the con- trol, not of the Local, but of the Federal Legislature. The question decided had nothing to do with the principles of natural justice. The justice, or injustice, of the Act was a thing about which their Lordships did not bother. The responsibility for that was with our legisjature. Over the Parlia- inent of Canada the Appeal Judges had no jurisdiction. In fact, im another case, o4 an Act of that very Parliament, they had ‘ust pronounced that,—‘'There is, really, no practical limit to the authority of a su- :preme legislature, except the lack of executive power to enforce its enactments.” By the way, it requires a lot of “executive power” to force an obnoxious law upon a free people

**Defendant” says he will Never condemn the Scott Act because of its results. When he next comes to canvass ‘‘the temperance people” who were induced to vote for that Act before, he may find that results have some weight with them, if not with him. Or, perhaps, he has got ‘to that stage of in fatuation where the dictionary is ignored, and the phrase ‘temperance people” means **prohibitionists.”

F. W. L. Moore. May 20, 1890.

Sorry to Part.

Sir,—l was very sorry to heer the re. port that the Steamship ‘‘Carrolf!” was to be taken off the route, after her next voy- age, as many pleasant remembrances were left with all who had the pleasure of the. company of the oflicers-at- the several pic- /nieShéla fast season. It is also report- ed that the obliging and courteous Ist. officer, Mr. Chase, has already made sev- eral engagements for picnics to’ be held this coming season, and | feel] certain that his many friends will be only too happy to meet himself and better half, who, by the way, is expécted here by the next ‘‘Carroll’ The anticipated withdrawal of the Amert- can steamers is a matter of regret, but as it is not yet definately arranged, all ex- pect that this step may not be taken.
