The McDonald-O’Farrel Case.
To the Editor of the Patriot.

|It strongly reminds me of how the ‘caze stood between the darkey and his master | one day :-—
** Sambo,” said the master, ‘‘ Where is ithe hoe ?”
‘It’s with the barrow,” replied Sambo.
“‘And where is the Larrow?” engnired his master.
‘* it’s with the hoe,” said Sambo.
_ “Well,” said the master, getting a little impatient‘ ‘* Where are they both ?”
*“* Why the D——1” said Sambo “ they are both together, I think massa wants to pick a row with poor nigger this morning.”
There are only two acts of this depart- ment which have any real bearing on the McDonald-O’Farrell case. First, the sale

by the Hon. Joseph Pope, when he was
is binding om all the departments. Yet you fill columns of your paper with attacks on me in connection with these acts, and when I point out the facts and you cannot confute them, you exclaim, with an uir of injury, ‘Oh, you want to pick a quarrel with us!”
You say that Mr. Pope was right in selling the land. You say that the Attorney General was right in ordering the Deed to be given to McDonald. McDonald was right in refusing the refund of his money, forcing the Government, to give him his Deed, and in going to law. I have not noticed that you have condemned O’Farre! for the course he has pursued, nor demand- ed that Judge Hensley should be impeached fur charging in O’Farrels favor. One thing, however, you are determined to insist on, viz: that whoever is in the right I must be in the wrong. And for what? For improperly selling. land to McDonald or O’Farrel? It cannot be for that, be- cause you say Mr. Pepe soldthe land. For granting the Deedto McDonald? It cannot be for that, because the Deed was ordered by the Attorney General. The ‘‘ chaos” of which you speak, is to be accounted for by your unfathomable insincerity or your utter mability to understand the simplest busi- ness transaction.
When you say that there was no condi- tion annexed to McDonald's purchase, you say what is not correct. I informed you of that condition, and it is recorded in the books of the Department. When you said that there was no record in the Land Office
‘of the Gillis’ survey, you said what was
incorrect. Gillis’ plan is in the office, and I told you in the presence of Mr. Mc- Kiley that it was here. These are only specimens of the inaccuracies which are to be found in almost every sentence of your articles on this subject.
Your reference to Mr. Strong’s letter is very disingenuous. You say that Mc- Donald never received that letter. That it was stolen from the Post Office. I believe that this is correct. But when you say that I have accused McDonald of disregard- ing advice contained in a letter which he did not receive, you are endeavoring to convey & false impression by suppressing a part of the truth. You knew when you wrote this that McDonald had the same ad vice given him verbally, and more than ouce by me, in the presence of witnesses You say that Mr. Strong’s letter was stolen or intercepted out of the Pest Office, that it “‘ was produced in Court by O’Farrel’s Attorney,’ and you demand ‘‘ why I do not prosecute the man in whose possession it was found, and had the audacity to use it in a Court of Justice.” Is it because Mr. Malcolm McLeod had the ‘‘ audacity’ to tell you that he did not use the language you attributed to him in reference to the Land Office that you want him to be pro- secuted for receiving and using a stolen letter! You ask meif I am prepared to condone this offence. I believe that the public would feel more interested in a deliverance of your own on that subject. Not many years ago a Government of this Dominion owed its existence to the whole sale stealing of letters and papers. Did yu condone it then! Or did you demand that the men who ‘had the audacity” to steal and use these letters should be pro secuted? If my memory serves me right you applauded the act, and it is only some three or four months since, in this City of Charlottetown, you joined in banqueting the principal offender.
The charges which you have made against me, since I entered public life have been very numerous, and they have been urged with an ingenuity and a determination worthy of a better cause. But they have all burst like this latest one, in bubbles at your feet, each failure weakening your hands foe the next attack. Your impotence is now equal to the giant which the immor- tal Dreamer saw sitting in the mouth of his cave, only able to grin at passing pil- grims. I have no feeling for you, but com. misseration; yet, bad as yourcase is, it might be worse. A stern Roman law provided that when a man made a public accusation against another and failed to prove it, he should be cast into prison. When you politely insinuated that I should change places with McDonald, 1 could not help thinking of the old law of Rome, and how well it was for you that it is not in force iv these days. In that event your case would be worse than your friend McDonald’s for

To the Editor of the Examiner.
Simn,—In the last issue of the Werx iy EXaMINER AND ARGUs, a writer signing himself ‘‘ Fairbank’s,” states that the ferry man at China Point, ‘ has retired to his winter quarters.” At the time this letter was writen navigation at this Point, was closed by ice, and is still closed; and there- fore no blame can be attached to the ferryman for not being able to take passengers across. I am at ® loss to understand why such an attack should be made upon our ferryman, who is always at hand at the call of cuty ; and I think that if all the * Fairbanks” throughout the country were no truer than your correspondent who signs that name, there would be much false weight in the Province.
Yours very truly,

The Charlottetown Branch of the abeve organization held its regular meeting last night, at 8 o'clock, in St. Patrick’s Hall M. P. Hogan, Esq., President, in the Chair.
|The audience wasa large one. The ro] of
membership was increased by several new Danes.
Mr. Patrick Cosgrove, at the invitation of the President, gave an interesting ad- dress on the history of Ireland’s grievances.
|The hardships the Irish people are forced
to undergo, owing to the cruelty of Land- lordism, were described in strong terms. Their present deplorable condition, the speaker said, claimed the sympathy and
| material aid of all Ireland’s exiled childrcn,
and that the conduct of those who are holding aloof from the Land League should be stigmatized as it deserved. ‘Ihe various periods of exodus of Ireland’s people were referred to, showing them to be the result of the misrule that has been Ireland’s history. He held it to be the <uty of all lovers of freedom, especially chose of the Celtic race, to unite in one final effort to bring about that brighter day when Ireland shall become a glurions and unfettered nation.
Mr. F, Curran brought to the notice of the meeting the uncharitable and illiberal manner in which the [rish question is dis. cussed by a certain class of journalists ; and that it is unfair to refuse to concede to the Irish the right claimed by other peo- ples, of asking for a redress of those griev- anees which few can deny to exist.
A vote of thanks was passed to Messrs. Cosgrove and Curran.
Philip Coyle, Esq., Treasurer, reported the ackuowledgwent, from Rev. Lawrence Walsh, of fifty dollars, remitted the Irish National Land League on the 12th inst.
Aiter a few remarks had been offered on matters of interest, the meeting ac journed.
