Franchise

Voters Disfranchised.

Jupee ALLEY has decided that the names of all franchise voters who did not pay their poll-tax previous to the 18th day of June last shall not be entered upon the Revised Voters’ Lists. This decision in- volves serious considerations. Several hundreds of voters who have been invested with the right to vote, on payment of the amount of their assessment at any time previous to the day of election, and who have always exercised that right, are now disfranchised under an Act of the Legisla- ture, which imposes hindrances and restric- tions heretefore unknown—hindrances and restrictions of which no official notice has been given.

We have no doubt that before coming to a decision which deprives hundreds of men

ARRIVAL OF ROUGHS IN

BETWEEN ORANGEMEN—AR- PRO- THE

CROWDED STREETS— THE CITY—INTERVIEWS MAYOR AND LEADING REST OF ORANGE LEADERS—THE CESSION STOPPED— ATTACK UPON HALL.

[From the Witness July 12. | THE SITUATION.

At last the day towards which nearly all thoughts, anxieties and fears in this city have been unavoidably directed during the past few weeks has arrived. From ex- tensive consultation with prominent Prot- estants it seemed to be an incontrovertible fact that the published legal opinion, to the effect that the Orange order was an illegal organization, and that they had conseqnently no right to walk in procession, had produced a wonderfully rapid change of sentiment, so much so that one and all hesitated not to counsel that the Orangemen should forego their celebration to-day. The Orangemen had hoped for protection from the military,

whole question was placed by the procession having been declared illegal made it evident that ail the troops would or could properly be employed for would be to suppress any disturbance that might arise on the streets without regard to any party involved, and consequently the Orangemen found their hopes were vain.

THE ORANGEMEN ENTREATED NOT TO WALK.

In the presence of this state of affairs, and the dark out-look for the Orangemen to-day, several leading Protestant magis- trates last evening approached members of the Orange Celebration Committee and

of their electoral rights, Judge Alley gave the law bearing upon the matter his most serious and careful consideration. There are, however, lawyers who think Judge Alley’s decision a wrong one ; and we un- derstand that Counsel for the Franchise voters are now taking steps to”test it before the Supreme Court. The Attorney General should, at this juncture, exert himself on behalf of the young men. Will he do so ! We shall! see.

urged them to reconsider their determina- tion to march, advising instead that, after the excitement of the ‘'welfth had passed, they should test the legal point at issue by

a small number of members of the Order marching in the streets and allowing them- selves to be arrested, so that the whole police Mayor Beaudry and Alderman Mercer

of Justice.

but the anomalous position in which the |

might be proud. When they marched through the motley crowds gathered in some portions of the square there was a slight attempt at jeering, however, quickly a were ranged in line facing ow three ide of the square. Chief Marshall 'Hamilton of the Orange procession had 'gone to meet the troops, and after they had arrived rode through the crowd into the police enclosure, in front of the Orange Hall, without being molested. Upon being asked by our reporter why he rode with the troops, he replied that he was waiting for them to reach their allotted position before giving orders for the procession to form. This force was the last getting into position, and, as no procession was formed, were kept standing there. Guards marched with fixed bayonets about three paces in front of the men and kept the crowd back. Colonel Smith was the magistrate with this force.

THE RESERVE.

At nine o’clock the city troops marched from the Champ de Mars to take up the position on Dominion Square assigned to them in to-day’s movements. They num- bered about 1,670 strong rank and file, presenting a most formidable array. Too much praise cannot be bestowed on the neat appearance and steady marching of these military preservers of the peace. All along the line of march prominent citizens had placed servants with buckets of ice-

drunk up by the thirsty soldiers.

AT THE ORANGE HALL. About ten minutes after nine o’clock Chief Naegele and Sub-Chief Paradis, with six sergeants and fifty-four policemen armed with rifles, and about the same ramber armed only with batons, marched up in front of the Orange Hall, where they took up their position. THE MAYOR INTERVIEWS THE COUNTY MASTER.

A few minutes after the arrival of the

ORANGE

walked up to the hall and met Mr. D. Grant, County Master, and Mr. A. Mackey, Dis- trict Master, who were standing at the door. The Mayor expressed his desire to have some conversation with these gentlemen and they all together, with our reporter en- tered the National office, where an inter- view was held.

The Mayor proposed that the Orangemen should form their procession, when some half-dozen of their number should be quietly arrested, and then the procession should be givenup. He urged that his only desire was to preserve the peace, and that such u course as he proposed would be in the in- terests of the city at large, and by following it they would have the respect and support of the whole respectable community.

Mr. Grant said he only looked upon their

‘Station attracted large crowds which had occupied the steps to the French church and vicinity, while an alarm of fire, with the reels from No. 2 station, drew numbers in the opposite direction. Four of the Orangemen arrested were taken to the office of the High Constable in the Police Court, where all attempts to ascertain the names or positions of the accused met with gruff and unsatisfactory replies. It was, however, learued that among the four were David Grant, County Master, and Fred Hamilton, Grand Marshal, the accusations against whom were also kept private. Thomas In- gram, Assistant Grand Marshal, was also arrested and taken to the Central Station. Two ot the marshals were pulled from their horses when arrested and taken to the Police Court. Several men visited the Central Station, curious to see the regalia of an Orangeman, which was viewed with evident curiosity.

ANOTHER INTERVIEW BETWEEN THE MAYOR AND ORANGE OFFICERS,

Soon after the arrest, Mayor,Beaudry and Ald. Mercer held a second interview with the officers of the Orange Associatiou, in their hall, when, it is understood, the latter consented, so for as they were concerned, to give up the procession to-day, the Mayor on his part guaranteeing the Orangemen pro- tection te get safely away from the hall. The question was then submitted to the Lodge meeting. THE PROCESSION GIVEN UP.

About 11 o’clock Ald. Mercer, having be- come impatient for the decision of the Orangemen, entered the Hall and had an- other interview with the Orange Officers. After some fifteen minutes stay, he came out and stated that the Orangemen had re- solved to give up the procession under pro- test, and to ask the Mayor to clear the streets so that there might be no danger of their being attacked when they came out, and also to furnish a guard to protect the hall to-night. He stated that a formal com- munication to that eflect was then being written. Up to 11.45 this communication had not been received.

A STARTLING PHASE OF THE TROUBLES. Opinion is divided among the Orange party in the Hall as to what will be done, but a large number will not forego the procession until they tind there is no expectation of it taking place. A Union Jack, with an Orange fringe, has been hung out of the hall, and some of the oceupants can be seen at the window. From information gleaned by our reporter there is no doubt but that telegraphic com- munications are passing between Urangemen here and their friends in the West, and if they hold out until the evening the inference will be that there is some movement in Ontario on their behalf. Already telegrains have been received from Kingston foreboding an Orange invasion from that quarter.

REDUCTION IN PRICE!

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!

fPXYHE GENERAL MINING ASSOCIA.

TION (Limited) beg to intimate to the

— that the price of SYDNEY COAL has en

Reduced to $2 per ton of 2240 Ibs.,, a price which it is hoped will place it within the reach of all consumers,

The opening of the new winning at ‘* THE SYDNEY MINES” and the fact that the SYDNEY COAL now being shipped is all from the DEEP taken in connection with re- cent improvements in the process of screenip affords purchasers a positive guarantee of the very superior quality and condition of the SYDNEY COAL now offered for sale.

It is a well-know fact that for many years ‘we the prices of other Cape Breton coals have een regulated by the rates fixed for SYDNEY | COAL; but while it is true that other coals, « to get a sale at all, have been pressed on the market at various prices under the current rate of SYDNEY COAL, it is no less true that, taking into account the superior lasti qualities of SYDNEY COAL when com

with other Cape Breton coals, the advantage, both as to economy and convenience, is in favor of SYDNEY COAL, even at a much higher price.

_ The General Mining Association (Limited) regret that they should again have to caution the Public against the attempts being made from time to time to induce them to buy in- ferior coals purporting to be ‘‘ EQUAL TO SYDNEY,” “SUPERIOR TO SYDNEY,” etc., etc., while some yet more unscru vendors have not hesitated to advertise their coalas SYDNEY COAL (from some desi locality). All these efforts to sell coal by such means are only so many admissions on the part of those who make them of the sTANDARD character of SYDNEY COAL.

It has come to the knowledge of the Asso- ciation that in frequent instances parties givi orders to truckmen and others for SYDNEY COAL have been furnished with other and inferior coal. The Public are cautioned against permitting themselves to be imposed apon im this way.

In the selection of men to perform the re- sponsible and (we may add) onerous duties appertaining to the offices of Mayor and City Councillors much care should be taken. Without regard to party or to creed—the very best men should be chosen, and, when chosen, should consent to act. Public spirit and private interest alike demand that the representatives of the City shall be able, discreet and honorable men.

If this be so, it is high time the electors began .to look about them. Little more than a fortnight remains to do the work of selecting, canvassing and electing.

THE ORANGEMEN STILL IN CUSTODY.

Ald. Mercer also learned in the lodge room that there was no arrangoament for bailing out the Orangemen, and consequently proceeded forthwith to the Police Court and found such to be the fact. He stated it was his intention to bail them ont.

The Harverly Jubilee Singers were also present in a body, and afforded considerable amusement by rendering a number of their popular songs in the open air. The goodly number present spent a very enjoyable evening, by dancing in the College Hall, where sweet music was dis- coursed by Messrs. Dougan & McKachern. Quoiting, swinging, etc., was carried out in the play grounds during the day to a very large extent. ‘Che party returned home by special train at 7 o'clock, and the members ot the society marched in procession to the

Suspended from his belt was a scabbard in which it was presumed there was the usual sword. As he was ap- proaching the hall, a carter passing by at the time deliberately drove out of his way and made an attempt to strike the horse.

A RASCALLY ASSAULT ON A VOLUNTEER.

As the Prince of Wales Rifles were pass- ing through the square, a special constable struck Bandsman Sharpe a heavy blow on the back of the head. The constable was caught by the other yolunteers, but was immediately handed over to the civic autho- rities by order of the Colonel, and liberated by the crowd. Sharpe was removed to the Guard House in the Drill Shed, when his wound was attended to.

ON VICTORIA SQUARE AND VICINITY.

Victoria Square and Radegonde street this morning presented a lively military aspect. The 50th regiment or Huntington Borderers, to the number of 292 men, were stationed around the north-west corner of the square, so as to face on the square and a portion of Bonaventure street. A little further up the 5lst regiment from Hem- mingford were stationed in Evans wood- yard, occupying a sunny position on top of the elevated tramways. The ‘‘B” Bat- tery, which was divided into divisions, pro- tected the foot of Beaver Hall Hill. The mounted men of the two Batteries, forming a cavalry escort of twenty-four men, not before counted in the strength of the Bat- teries, were stationed across the head of Palace strect.

the peace was not broken in any way. THE CROWD

which fills the street on either side of the Orange Hall is thoroughly organized, and commanded by leaders who give such orders as ‘‘Keep back, good boys.” At one time there was apparently some cause of offence in the lane behind the hall, and one man whistled and motioned to those standing on St. James Street to come on, and in a mo- ment the lane was crowded. Several com- menced throwing stones, which some took from their pockets, at the building. This did not suit the views of the leaders of the main body, and those injthe lane were or- dered away, the reason given being that they must not give the military cause to act. All are sober and evidently deter- mined to keep inside the law as it is inter- preted at present by the Mayor. The fife and drum band of the Orange Young Britons were playing lively tunes in the rear end of the hall, which might have had something to do with it.

ARRESTING THE ORANGEMEN,

The army of special constables were, by the order of the Mayor, arranged in an ir- regular line before the Orange Hall, extend- ing from Place d’Armee to St. Lambert Hill. The motley crowd, swinging their batons, awaited the appevrance of the Orangemen, while at the extremes of the line immense crowds were kept back by the police. Suddenly some of the Orangemen appeared at the door, and the procession was about to start, when an order was given to arrest the marshal. Constable Beaure- gard took hold of one, while several others laid hands on three others, while the special constables, who were shaking their batons in the air, were restrained. The High Constable, with several of the detectives, were at the door, and gave the order for the arrest. that several arrests had been made a loud,
