The Cardigan Election.

WE clip the following from the Patriot :—

“The Georgetown Advertiser says that the report is that Mr. Donald Ferguson has been requested to be a candidate for the representa- ticn of the 3rd electoral district of King’s County. A friend at our elbow says that the Cardigan District is hard up for a representa- tive when it sends all the way to St. Peter's Road, Queen’s County, for Mr. Donald Fer- guson.”

If the people of Cardigan have recog- nized the political ability of Mr. Donald Ferguson and have requested him to become their representative, we fail to see why they should be taunted with being ‘*hard up.’ That they have done so is no discredit to

them. Nor does it show that they are at all “hard up” or even doubtful about the ability of men _ residing

within the limits of Cardigan District. This Island may be traversed from East Point to North Cape, and no man found better versed in the politics of the country, more skillful or sharper and readier in de

bate, than Mr. Donald Ferguson. In our opinion, the people of Cardigan showed their good sense and their appreciation of rare abil- ity in a true son of the soil of P. E. Island, when they requested Mr. Donald Ferguson to become their representative. Wliat busi- ness has the Patriot to insult the people of Cardigan or to venture to indicate who shall or who shall not be their representative! No man championed by the Patriot and its falsely liberal party could have the slightest hope of being returned by the people of Cardigan. What business, then, has the Patriot to interfere!

We are not informed as to whether Mr. Ferguson will or will not comply with tho request of the people of Cardigan. Mr. Cyrus Shaw is spoken of as a candidate ; and, we feel assured that if Mr. Shaw seeks the vacant seat, Mr. Ferguson will not op- pose him—if Mr. Shaw is—as reported— an out and out opponent of the obnoxious tax-gathering combination led by Mr. i UH. Davies. At all events - and however the question of the candidature may be settled—we are quite certain that the people of Cardigan will treat with de- served contempt the Patriot’s mean attempt

to excite sectional jealousy among them.

The Public Debt. :

Carrwricut admitted the other day at Lindsay that the present Government in- creased the public debt by $24,000,000. fhe public accounts show—if we remember right—an inerease of $35,000,000. The Patriot will not, we suppose, doubt the accuracy of either Mr. Cartwright or his ac- counts.

Customs Matrers.—The town of Sum- merside, formerly the outport of Charlotte- town, has been erected into an independent port of entry and a warehousing port. The eutports of Cascumpec, Port Hill, Malpeque, West Cape and Tignish, formerly attached to the port of Charlottetown, have been de- tached therefrom, and are placed under the survey of the Collector of Customs at Sum- merside.

THE MecCARTHY MURDER.

ot 4

mt. oh ol men adh é2him 1? WAT The Evidence at the Inquest.

PiHEDIAC, May Ue The Court opened at 10.30 this morning. Chip. Smith was recalled, and proved from his Post Office book that the Oshbornes had

drawn a post office order on 19th January,

1878, amounting to $52.32, and in favour of

McCarthy & Cook, St John.

Philip Colwell, re examined, remember- ed the hatchet shown. Broke the handle of the hatchet close to the eye; drove out the broken piece and put in the same handle again.

To Mr. Holstead—Did not recollect when he left this hatchet at Osbornes, it was after Osborne was sick. Take a_ little of something once and a while, and probably his memory was impaired. The handle, before it was broken, was of ordinary length.

To Dr. Tuck—Could not state if last fall or last summer. He had pawned the hat- chet for drinks at. the Osbornes. Witness had seen Burns in the bar-room when he pawned the hatchet, and recently Burns had told witness not to mention his name as he, Burns, did not wish to give evidence. He asked Burns if he knew the date he pawned the hatchet, Burns made no defi- nite reply. Could not say if Burns remem- bers the date.

Thomas Smith, station master at Point du Chene, in October last, referring to his book found seven barrels of oysters had been shipped from the Point to Amherst for Antoine White on the Ilth last Oc- tober

To Mr. Holstead—Considered the entry genuine. Further examination discovered nothing.

Thaddy Purral sworn: Lives in suburbs of Shediac, and was working in Smith’s mill last fall. ts a married man, and has a wife, who is to give evidence, but is sick and unable to go to Court. Thought the Jury could go to the house and hear her evidence. Know the 12th of October, be cause he had capiased a Bouctouche fellow named Dennis White. Witness was at the Point on the night of the 12th Oct., and got some money from a man. Wife knew he was to get money, and she went down to the Point in search of him, as it was late for him to be out. His wife walked him home. Arriving near the Waverly House, he noticed a light in there, down stairs. He left his wife there and went to purchase a bottle of rum at her request at Waverly House, but crossing there failed to enter, and went home without rum. His wife scolded a little and then went to bed. Witness went on to say that his wife said, after getting in bed, she had seen Chip Smith and McCarthy. [Holstead objected to this evidence, but Tuck thought it fair enough.] His wife said Smith spoke to her and told her she had better be home taking care of her children. His wife said shereplied she could take care of herchildren beeause she could find them at home to take care of. His wife also said she recog nized McCarthy, bacause of a particular word he (McCarthy) used to her.

To Holstead—Never saw Chip Smith nor McCarthy that night. Did not know Mc- Carthy. It was a wet, dark night. Wit- ness left his wife standing on the corner when he went for rum, and it is supposed he missed Smith and McCarthy then.

Adjourned for dinner.

After dinner, Daniel Patton, wine mer- chant, of St. John, was called. Know John Osborne, the prisoner, and had dealings with him in August last to the amount of $220, payments to be made in instalments. On August 27th Osborne got $212 worth of goods, and paid $85 in December, on ac-

count. This was the first and only payment made. ‘The balance is due. Couldn't state

how soon after the 27th he had asked a pay- ment.

To Mr. Holstead—Previous to this had transactions with Osborne. Had dealings with him about two years. Osborne was as prompt always as ordinary country custom- ers. The $85 payment caused him no sur- prise, nor would it if he had paid all. Was only once in the Osborne’s house, Shediac. He saw Eliza there. Never saw _ her drink. Never saw Osborne drink a glass of liquor. McCarthy owed witness on the 13th October between $500 and $600. He had issued a writ against him. Spoke to Mrs. McCarthy at the time of issuing the writ. Mrs. McCarthy requested the writ. Got some money on his claim since, about $350. Her reason for issuing the writ was that Tim might be in Ontario or tlie United States, and would draw the money which was in the bank. Attached the imoney in bank at her request.

To Mr. Tuck—McCarithy’s account was a lively one. He bought and paid almost immediately. ‘This large amount was only due two wonths. The goods bought in August by Osborne were not paid for as promptly as previous purchases. The goods were shipped to Menecton, and witness could not say if they were sold there to Kirk or brought to Shediac.

John A. Humphrey, ex-M. P. P., lives in Moncton, andis a lmuber merchant ; knows the prisoner John Osborne ; sold him lumber in July, August, and the fixst part of September, for a house being built in the town of Moncton. The amount of the pur- chases was $230 ; S100 was paid on the 26th November. White also paid $70. A due bill was given for the balance, and remains unpaid.

‘to Mr. Holstead—Considered Osborne good pay, and his reputation was good.

Damien White recalled—-When he found the body the rubber coat was buttoned one button andthe under coat was buttoned two buttons. - Found a rope ia the Scadouc

lant when he found ‘he stone about yards below the railway bridge. . To Mr. Holstead He saw nen bringing down the river a stone on a raft last fall. When Gallant found the stone he gave it to

witness, and then it was transferred to Deputy Sweeney. The rubber coat was buttoned at the second button from the collar. ‘The rubber hood wes not floating.

Frank Gallant was next called: Lives in Shediac, and is a laborer. A week ago last Saturday he found a stone in the Scadone; raked for it with an oyster rake, Com- menced nearly opposite Atkinson’s barn, and worked ali day for the find. Found one other stone and that only weighed a couple of pounds. Found the stone about 30 feet from high water mark. The tide was lowin the river. The stone was not deep in the mud of the bed of the river. {t was not a very soft bottom where he found it. Have been in Osbornes, but never remember them talking about Me- Carthy.

Sheriff Botsford was called and took the stand. Witness said he had been Sheriff of Westmereland for 29 years. Know the prisoners, and they have been in jail since January. He was at home the time they

were committed. Knew Timothy Me- Carthy, and his disappearance caused much conversation for several weeks. Could not say exactly, but heard Mc-

Carthy was missing in the latter part of October. Heard that his friends were mak- ing enquiry about him and took a good deal of pains in October to ascertain what had become of him. For over a fortnight he was exclusively engaged in making en- quiries about McCarthy’s whereabouts, be- tween Moncton and Shediac. Never saw Milligan, of Summerside, to know him. John, Osborne told him since this present enquiry commenced, that he never recol- lected seeing a hatchet in his house till the one found by Colwell. Could not give the exact words of any conversation with the prisoner. Could not say that Osborne had told him there never was a hatchet in his house before the 12th Oct.

Did you not express yourself a to me (Dr. Tuck) that the sworn statement of Hibbert, Osborne’s bar tender, was di rectly opposite to what Osborne had always told you !

Could not recollect having done so. Did not recollect having read Hibbert’s state- ment. and expressing astonishment at it. When he heard on Saturday that Timothy McCarthy’s body was found he was in his oftice at Dorchesiecr Backhouse, the Registrar, told hin about 2 o'clock in the

believe Blackhonse’s report, as he had just come from the Shediac train, and the train people knew nothing about it. The oper- ator was in his office and said reports were} flying over the wires that McCarthy's body | was found. Alarmed, he went to the jail and told what he had lieard there. Osborne said to him there if McUarthy is found they wiil find all his things upon him. Recol- lected no mere of the conversation with Osborne. Did recolicct hearing Os- borne say after he told him the body was found that if they found the body with the coats on and money in the pockets 1t would prove he had not been murdered. told these words to Dr. Tuck. raembered speaking to Dr. Tuck about the hatchet. Witness commenced the conver- sation about the hatchet. Osborne said he never recollected having a hatchet about the house till the time this hatchet was pawned for rum. Osborne’s bar-keeper he thought swore that the hatchet had been about the house previous to that lime. [ff it was the | evening of the same day that tis testimony was given that witness saw Osborne,he could not have learned from Osborne that he had no recollection of a hatchet being in his house be- foretheone pawned. Did notrecollectstating to Dr. Tuck, within five minutes after the bar-keeper had sworn that a hatchet was in the house previous to the 12th Oct., that the bar-keeper’s statement then taken was contrary to what Osborne had told him, and that the statement astonished him because Osborne had told him contrary. Did not recollect doing so at all. Do not recollect of being so sluw to believe what witness had sworn that he got the deposition from the Coroner and read it at the table beside Dr. Tuck. Was not slow to believe, but re- membered looking at the deposition.

By Dr. Tuck—If you conversed with me upon either the subjects which I refer to, was such conversation of my secking, or did you begin it ?

Witness replied that he himself began it.

Mr. Holstead objected to the question, and the objection was put in evidence, Holstead said such questions were idle.

Dr. Tuck roplied that it was not, when Mr. Gilbert arrived on the scene and moved that the question be inserted in evidence, but as wholly irrelevant to the case.

The Court adjourned until ten o'clock to-morrow.

An Astonishing Fact.

A large proportion of the American people are to day dying from the effects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result of these diseases upon the masses of intelli- gent and valuable people is most alarming, making life actually a burden instead of a pleasant existence of enjoyment and _ use- fulness as it ought to be. There is no good

prejudice and skepticism, take the advice of Druggists and your friends, and try one bottle of Green’s August Flower. Your speedy relief is certain. Millions of bottles of this medicine have been given away to try its virtues, with satisfactory results in every case. Youcan buy a sample bottle for 10 cents to try. ‘Phree doses will releive the worst case. Positively sold byall drug-

The new Lord Leitrim has not benefitted, frem a pecuniary point of view, by his acces- sion to his uncle’s title, for the whole of the late peer’s estates have been left to a second cousin, Col.

It is ikely that the case may be brought before the law courts, but still more likely that some comprose will be made. Lord Leitrim has now only some few hundreds a year, though he has expectations from other quarters. He will shortly take his seat in the House of Lords. The Leitrim estates are estimated at £40,000 a year, so the matter is worth contesting.
