LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL' ELECTION.

Luiberal-Conservative Candidate for

Charlottetown,

HENRY LONGWORTH, ESQ. THe DAILY EXAMINER,

OCTOBER 29, 1875.

Keep It Before the People.

Tuat the Hon. Thomas W. Dodd has no prescriptive right to monopolize the con- fidence of the electors of Charlottetown. Neither has hea right to monopolize, for life, the honors and emoluments consequent upon the bestowal of the people’s con fidence.

That Mr. Dodd has already been the representative of the city for six years, and may now very fairly and properly give place to another who is in every way just as good a man as he is.

That Mr. Dodd, while enjoying the peo- ple’s confidence, has openly violated the law securing the independence of Parlia- ment—by becoming a contractor for ‘THAT GLass”.and for the supply of many other articles.

That a law-breaker is not certainly the right man to be a law-maker.

That Mr. Dodd is the sole remaining prop which now supports one of the most ob- noxious Governments that ever ruled over this or any other country.

That Mr. Dodd, by the act of taking office in the Davies-Stewart Government, has deliberately indorsed and become re- sponsible for every measure by reason of which the Davies-Stewart Government has become detested throughout the length and breadth of the land.

aoa Sectionalism.

Tue way the Grits are using the sectional ery in Ontario may be judged by the fol- lowing paragraph which we clip from the Trish Canadian :—

The Irish Catholic electors of Centre Huron may obtain light for their guidance at this moment by glance at things in Ottawa. There they may see that Dr. Platt’s y has given one representative in the Cabinet to 60,000 Protestants of Prince Edward Island while re- jecting appeals in the press and in public meetings to give asimilar representation to 328,000 Catholics, mainly Irish.

Those who know that Mr. Pope enjoys the confidence and the support of the Catholics, and that his opponents (if he has any) are Protestants, will langh when they read this paragraph. Butit is possible that the electors of Centre Huron may be im- posed upon by it.

Yon. McKenzie Bowell.

| City Council.

A special meeting of the City Council was held last evening. Present: The Mayor, the Recorder, Councillors Peake, Beer, Byrne, Heartz, Davy, Horne, Koughan and Morris.

A BOMB-SHELL AT THE BEGINNING.

After the reading of the Minutes, the Mayor said :—

Before we go any further it is my duty to tell you that I have been informed, and believe, that there are some gentlemen now sitting around this Board who have no right to sit here. His Honor the Re- corder will read and explain the law; and gentlemen will themselves know whether or not they can continue to hold their seats at this Council.

The Recorder then read the law as fol- lows- —

‘‘No person shall occupy a seat at the Coun- cil Board a such time as such person shall hold any office or place of profit in the gift or disposal of the said Council, or during such time as he shall have, directly or indi- rectly, by himself or his partner, any share or interest in any contract or employment with or on behalf of the Council.”

Councillor Heartz—I have contracted with the city for a building I have let to this councl for a kerosene oil warehouse. I shall therefore leave my seat. I would not have held it for two minutes had I been aware of the law, as justread by His Honor the Recorder. In leaving I may say that I wish you all success in conducting the affairs of the city.

The Mayor—I can only say that I have received valuable assistance from Councillor Heartz ; and I exceedingly regret that he is obliged to leave.

Councillor Morris—It is said there is nothing new under the sun, _ but some new law always seems to be turn- ing up at this Council Board. We have had several Recorders but none of them ever drew attention to the law just quoted. I have contracted with the city for the let- ting of a cottage and will therefore have to resign.

Messrs. Heartz and Morris then withdrew, The Mayor—I cannot allow any gentle- man to occupy a seat at this Council who is not qualified so to do. If, therefore, any other gentleman is present who has violated the law quoted by the Recorder, he will please make the Council aware of the fact. Councillor Byrne—I am not in Holy Orders, nor have I contracted with the city. Therefore, I suppose my right to sit here is indisputable. 1 have always contended that gentlemen contracting with the city should

Mr. Pope in the Cabinet.

The St. John Sun says: ‘Still more im- portant to Maritime interests 18 the ap- pointment of Hon. J. C. Pope, of Prince Edward Island, to the position of Minister of Marine and Fisheries. This portfolio could only properly be assigned to a Mari- time representative; but in the present in- stance the Premier has very wisely named a gentlemen whose business qualifications for the position cannot for a moment be questioned. Mr. Pope, like his first pre- decessor, Mr. Mitchell, will not be Minis- ter in name only, he will really and truly be the propelling power which moves the machinery of the department. He is prompt to decide, quick to act, has fine business capacity, and all the energy necessary to make his influence felt throughout his de- partment.”

Cattle for England.

Last week there arrived at Liverpool from the United States and Canada no fewer than 2,120 live cattle, 6,509 sheep, 809 pigs, and 10 calves, numbers which far exceed those of any other week since the trade in live stock was initiated. As re- gards sheep, the increase over any former period is enormous. The importation of live stock last week is significant from the fact that, although the weather experienced in most instances was very severe, the mor- tality amongst the animals in transit was small. There was also a large supply of fresh meat. Four steamers arrived from New York and one from Philadelphia, bringing 4,280 quarters of beef, 555 car- casses of muttun and 710 packages of fresh butter.— Shipping Gazette, Oct. 14.

Enterprise of Modern Journalism.

Mayfair makes certain statemenis which explain why the telegrams from India six days out of the week are so meagre, and why on the Monday morning they are so profuse in the Times. ‘‘Each word tele- graphed from India costs 4s. 6d. Thus Mr. Forbes’ communications to this paper will cost over £100 a column for the mere charge of telegraphic transmission! The comparatively brief telegram which ap- peared in the Daily News on Monday fort- night announcing the rejection of the Chamberlain mission cost $36. The Times has a special arrangement with the telegraph company, whereby it has the use of the wire on Sunday at half price. This privi- lege is, however, weighted with the stipula- tion that the wire is used whether there is

to the very top of the ladder. Nor is Sir John McDonald celebrated for taking ‘‘non- entities’ into his Cabinet. The Berlin (Ont.) News, we observe, says :— The press of Canada owes a debt of grati- tude to the new Premier on his giving Mr. MeKenzie Bowell a seat in his Cabinet. We should have preferred seeing Mr. Bowell have charge of the Post Office Department, but still he may be able to do a good service to the press of this country in pressing the views upon the present Cabinet which he professed to entertain when the late Government intro- duced the iniquitous and oppressive law of Direct Taxation which the newspaper publish- ers of Canada are obliged to bear without the slightest possible advantage, direct or indi- rect. In years gone by the public men of the Reform party were loud in their professions of friendship for the press, but they were no sooner in power than they laid on publishers the worst tax ever inflicted. That was the size of their friendship. Now the Conservat- ives are in power, and the amount they owe to a vigorous press cannot be estimated; let us see whether Mr. Bowell and his associates will follow the example set by their pretentions predecessors. ache eae a é' SHortiy after nine o'clock on Monday evening a resident of the north-west side of

Anarchy in Turkey.

A letter from Constantinople, published by the Daily News, states that thirty mur- ders have occurred within a brief space of time at the very gates of the Turkish capi- tal, in addition to others in the Bosphorus villages and on the Asiatic shore. The vic- tims in every case were Christians. Noone has yet been punished or even arrested, for these crimes. Up to the very gates of Adrianople, crime and lawlessness prevail. No sooner do the Russians leave a locality than the Turk prepares to execute ven- geance. It is added that at Adrianople the Turks do not hesitate to threaten the

Colonial Exhibitions.

Tue Colonial Commissioners at the Paris

Exhibition have presented the Prince of

Wales with an address, thanking him for

the interest he had taken in the colonies, and have asked him to use his efforts toward the erection of a permanent colonial

museum in London, where the products and manufactures of the British colonies might at all times be on view, and which would diffuse throughout the mother country a bet- ter knowledge of the nature and importance of their resources, etc. The Prince agreed with the Commissioners that many ad- vantages would flow from the establishment of such a museum. The practicability, however, of the mode of carrying it into effect required mature deliberation on the part of the respective governments wishin

to promote the idea. However, he woul

be pleased, in the meantime, to apply to the Commissioners of the Exhibition of 1851 to place at the disposal of the Colonial Commissioners a place requisite for the preservation during the ensuing year of such goods as they might desire to retain

The basket was taken into Mr. James’ house, where, on the re- moval of a few linens, a delicate baby, ap-
