According to general announcement a large, influential and enthusiastic meeting of the Electors of Fort Augustus and ad- joining settlements, was held at Macdonald’s Corner, Lot 36, on Saturday evening, 3rd instant.
The meeting was duly organized by elect- ing Philip Corley, Esq., Chairman, and the undersigned Secretary.
The Chairman then briefly stated the ob- ject forwhich the meeting was called, namely for the purpose of nominating a Candidate to fill the political vacancy caused by the the death of the late Honorable Francis Kelly.
Henry Brer, Esq., embraced the oppor- tunity, and thanked the Electors for the support they gave him at the late General Election, and for the courteous and gentle- manly manner in which they always treated him. He said it has been always looked upon by the Electors of the District that one Catholic representative was necessary. He would, therefore, decline taking any part in the coming contest.
James E. Laverry came forward and said that yielding to the solicitations of a num- ber of the Electors from various parts of the District, he had been induced to enter the political arena, and try his fortunes as a politician. He intended to hold public meetings in different parts of the district, in erder to ascertain the general sentiment, and see who would likely be the peoples’ choice, and then if he had the honor of being the person on whom they would repose their trust, he would contest the approaching Election, and if elected, he would advocate such measures of retrenchment and political reform as are consistant with the require- ments and good Government of the country, and may redound to the prosperity of the Province, and the peace and contentment of the people.
Mr. Laverty got a good attentive hear- ing, and was frequently applauded for his eloquent witticisms.
Mr. James H. Cummisky being next called upon, came to the front and said that previous to the late general election he had been proposed as a candidate to contest the District, but, yielding to the counsel of his political supporters, he was induced to wait for a more propitious opportunity. He be- lieved, from the number of solicitations and the various assurances of success he re- ceived from all parts of the District, that that time has now arrived, and he was now a candidate before them, seeking their sup- port. He would advocate, by every consti- tutional means, the opening and final com- pletion of the new road from Glenfinnan to Seuthport. The Legislative Council, which costs the ratepayers of this Province up- wards of seven thousand dollars, he deemed totally unnecessary. The Assessment Act requires an immediate and thorough revi- sion, as it is at present iniquitous and ob- noxious to the people. he Reads and Bridges Act needed amendment. Our claims to a just and equitable share of the Fishery Award should be boldly asserted ; and measures of economy and retrench- ment in every branch of the public service -are absolutely necessary, in order to relieve the taxpayers as much as possible. if elected, these measures would receive his active and hearty attention.
Mr. Cummisky was well received, atien- tively listened to, and considerably ad- mired.
Francis McQuarp, Esq., Pisquid, was the next speaker, and expressed his views on some of the Jeading political questions at issue He thought he was justly entitled to fill the vacancy caused hy the decease of Hon. Mr. Kelly, as he had always been a consistent and ardent supporter of the Lib-
-eral Party since the palmy days of Messis.
Coles and Whelan.
Ricwarv Reppix, Esq., Charlottetown, was next called upon. He said he believed that they were assembled this evening for the purpose of selecting a candidate to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Hon. Francis Kelly—a gentleman who had faith fully and ably represented the district in Parliament for the last number of years. He heartily endorsed the sentiments of Mr. H. Beer, that the district was entitled to one Catholic representative in Parlia- ment, and he hoped the electors would select a good conscientious politician.
Mr. Lucius O. Ketty, Fort Augustus, was then called upon, and in a short, pithy, and appropriate speech, thanked the elec- tors for the kind and noble manner in which they treated his deceased father. He felt he would be always undera debt of never-ending gratitude to them for the hearty and generous manner in which they elected him, although he was stretched on his dying bed. Having since his decease been requested by a very large number of electors from every part of the District to allow himself to be putin nomination, he begged leave to inform them that he had acceeded to their request, and was was now a candidate for the coming election. Judg- ing from the many and encouraging assur- ances of support received, he believed his suceess would be certa'n. If elected, he would support the pressnt Government in all reasonable and honest endeavors to lessen the burthen of taxation and tend to the well-being and happiness of the people. Mr. Kelly’s first speech was spirited and to the point. He has a very pleasing appear- ance, a nice voice, and is a general favorite among his neighbors.
called upon, offered a few remarks. The follewing candidates were severally nominated :—
then
John A. McDonald, Esq., Johnston's
Political Meeting at Fort Augustus River, proposed James H. Cummisky as a
it and proper person to represent this Dis- trict in the Local House of Assembly, seconded by Mr. John Stewart, Glenfinnan, and William G. Brazil, Donagh.
Lucius O. Kelly, propesed by Patrick J. Trainor, Donagh, as a fit and proper person to represent the district in the House of Assembly, seconded by Edward Kelly, Esq., Lake Verd.
Mr. Angus Gillis, Pisquid, proposed and John Lund, Johnston’s River, seconded, that Francis McQuaid, Esq., be a fit and proper person to represent this District in the House of Assembly. John Trainor, Monaghan, proposed James E. Laverty as a fitand proper person to represent this district in the House of Assembly, seconded by James Garland, Glenfinnan. A division being taken on the above motions the chair- man declared an equal number for Messrs. Cummiskey, Kelly, and Laverty, none ap- pearing for Mr. McQuaid.
A vote of thanks was then tendered Mr. Corley for his able and becoming conduct in the chair, to which he responded in a suitable manner. It was also proposed and carried unanimously, that the proceedin of this meeting be forwarded to the Hera and Examiner for publication. The elec- tors then dispersed in that quiet and orderly manner which characterizes the meetings at Fort Augustus.
Micuart Laverty, Sec’y. May 4, 1879. Death of Dr. Butt, M. P.
Desrarcues from Dublin anneunce the death of Isaac Butt, M. P., which took place on Monday last. He was the leader of the “Irish Home Rule Party,” and a statesman of the highest character and ability. His death will be a severe blow to his party and the Nation at large. Dr. Butt was the only son of Rev. Robert Butt, incumbent of Stranorlar county Donegal, where he was bern in 1813, He was descended from the O’Donnells, the ancient Irish Chiefs of Tyreonnell, and from an early age evinced the strong National Irish feeling which afterwards be- came his leading political characteristic. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, graduating with high honors in 1835. In 1836 he was appointed to the Whately Professorship of Political Economy ‘in his College, and in 1838 he was called to the Irish Bar, of which he soon became a_ leader and an ornament, being made a Q. C. in 1844. In 1848 he took the lead- ing part as counsel in the defence of Smith O’Brien and other, prisoners, tried for high treason at Dublin, and was also retained in the defence of the Fenians in 1865. He was first elected to Parliament in 1852, and represented Youghal as a Liberal-Conser- vative till 1865. In 1871 he was returned without opposition for the City of Limerick as a Home Ruler, was re-elected for the same seat at the General Election in 1874, and las continued to represent it ever since.

Success to Enterprise.
The following, referring to the cattle trade is interesting :-—
“English statistics show that during 1878 there were landed at British ports from Canada 105 cargoes of live animals, con- sisting of 17,089 cattle, 40,152 sheep, 1,614 swine; and fromthe United States 381 cargoes, consisting ef 68,450 cattle, 43,940 sheep and 16,521 swine. Some idea of the precariousness of the trade may be gleaned from the fact that the enormous number of 12,595 animals were thrown overboard in this one year because of casualties arising from stress of weather and hardships necessarily attendant upen the voyage. Of these casualties there were of Canadian animals 551 cattle, 2,000 sheep and swine sacrificed ; and of the American animals 2,034 cattle, 3,266 sheep, and 2,398 swine thrown overboard. This is a rate of loss that is well nigh appalling, and there is no difficulty in understanding that it requires high profits and a steady business to make such a trade remunerative.”
Canadian Eggs for Paris.
A French buyer was in the Toronto egg market on the 2nd inst., purchasing rather extensively. He bought about 4,000 dozen at 10} cents, and bid the same figure for about as many more, in different lots, but holders want 11 cents. He is buying os- tensibly for shipment to Paris, but some think a better market may turn up in an- other direction. where they goto, as long as an outlet is found for stocks on the market. —Gazette.
