| To the Lditor of the Lxaminer, — | Dear Srtr,—Having no statistics at hand, | [ can’t date the laying of the foundation stone | of this edifice. However, lll venture to assert | that it was erected iu the reign of William the | fourth. The building is about 80 feet Jong | ry 40 feet broad, and 34 stories high above! seound. The northern end is oecupied by sviminals, the southern end by Mr. Harvie, the keeper, a gentleman well endowed by vature to perform, to a hair’s breadth, the luties by Law required of him; \et friendly tid atfavle to all, his spontaneous philan jarophy Occasionaliy bursting out in sandry icts of hinduess to indigent debtors. His sub., { have no doubt, would commend himself to “mperor Alexander, were he iu Siberia. Four cooms in the ceatre are for the reception of deb- sors. Rooms number | and 2 on theupperstory, each 16 feet square, height of ceiling 8 feet, a 1l2-iizght window (10x12), furnished by 1 stove, $ iron bedsteads, straw mattrass and olankets; blankets did I say? Yes; aud walking blankets at that, and an inmnumer- ab'e number of rats, mice, ete., etc., if one sould answer for the whole as to their number, it would undoubtedly say “legion.” Num- ers 3 and 4 are on the secoud flat, number 3 iaving a stove and 1 iron bedstead, ete., etc. Bat as to room namber 4, I can tell nothing ibout, as it is kept exclusively for the use of the aristocrats. | All the rooms are lighted with gas, Such is the place of reception of anfortunate debtors in the metropolis of the P-ovinee for Her Majesty's loyal subjects. A (riend’s aivice just in the ear of the Sullivan Governmet, to put this Housein order; if uot, the day is fast approaching that will put you below par with the late Davies one. Your humble ser ant, Pat Scory.

April 21,1879. sia cpecesniindiadaiidiaaptaks Reforms Wanted.

SUGGESTIONS TO THE NEW GONERNMENT. To the Editor of the Examiner.

“ir,—Being a resident and independent voter of Queens County, I consider it my iuty to seud youatew lnes, hoping that you will fiud room for them in your valuable paper { neard thetwo abie speakers from Ontaria ast summer, and | have thought many times since if they had used their great taleuts and <uowledge of political affairs iistead of finding ault with eaca otier in tuings tat are past aud gone, that they could tave saved the Domiuioa millions of dollars.

Now, Mr. Editor, we want tis Local Gov- ernmeut (1) to abobsh- about one-half of the vices which are now in operation. (2) Lo abolish the Legislative Council; and the mem- bers of the House of Assembly should be put in by qualified voters. (3) Do away with these Assessors who come about a man’s farm and tax his fine hovse which is built with bor- rowed money. We cannot adord to stay home to meet the tax collector with the money in our hai d; neither can we can afferd to lose a day’s ploughing in carrying the tax to him, snd when our present Government, which i aave confi ence in, aS maie these charges in political affairs, then if there is not enough Money on hand to carry on the public busi- uess. we think it would be we weil to adda little to the original laud-tax, aud have it paid wt the Laud Tux office, as furieriy; and | also Want as many of the remain, oftices to be let bv tender as possible, (or no tenaderei shoultt be accepted whe wauts mure than $1000 ior any vilice, and all otuer oidices should be tewtered tor under that acc rding to their work. Uur tax is now about as heavy as ow veut and taxes were formerly; and new | would say that po Government bas any right to tax the country aud nov the town. As :e- yards tiie ruads, i consider they were better before the Goverument took charge of them, for even now we are doing the greater part o1 them ourselves; aud | believe the country can keep the roads in as good repair as they are vow, and uot miss the time as much as they du tie money.

Now as the time to make arrangements with ; the members aboutthe time to meet in future. i] think they suould no$ meeé later than Feb- ruary, in order to give country members a chance to put in their crops; aud I believe that one half of the members coul.l do all the business that is required for this Island ; and that each should net require more than $100 per session ; and that the House should meet eariy in the muruing instead of late at night, andin all cases we should choose country mem- bers in preference to citizens, because it is mere reasonable that they should understand the wants of the country better than citizens.

Now, the Act m reference to Domestic Ani- mals should by all means be repealed ; fer I knew a man wo had a namber 0. cattle giaz- ing in his pasture at a short distance from his residence, and they by accident got out of the pasture, and on their way home to get milked were seized by an unprincipled Keeve, and the owner had tu pay tor them; and in these hard times, I do not think it prudent fur any Government to place such temptations in the poor peoples’ way. At the same time there should be some provision made, and that is : -each man having land fronting on the highway should have a lawful fenve aud keep his gate jshut. ‘inea if any animals should break over | that fence, the owner ehould pay the damages idone by such animals. | As regards the Schoel Act there has been a great deal of dissatisfaction. (1) by assessing | househo!jers who have no interest in the i! school, for ranniag expeuses ; (2) for paying Trustees per centage ior taking the people’s

Persons having relatives or friends abroad money; (3) having a public meeting ona

tmarket day, as is now appointed; (4) by | paying a supplement to teachers instead of the teacaers receivivg his salary from the Gov- ernmect ; (5) by tne changing of the books of a school too often, and thes taking money from the country, aud giving it to the book- stores ; (6) having the school to go in at 1)

of them should be put to work on the Model Farm.

Since the Jail-birds are inereasing so fast, we will have to be at the expense of a larger building, unless some measure is taken; and we would say that part of them should be sent to the Penitentiary, another part put out on the streets to work, and the remainder should work in the jail. I hope this Govern- ment will use political economy, and if they do not, every one wil! find it hard times to live in this country.

OTTAWA NOTES.

(From the St. John Sun.)

P. E. I, GOVERNORSHIP.

It is stated on good authority that Sen- atcr Haviland will be appointed next Lieu- tenant Governor of P. E. Island. There is no doubt the appeintment would be a most popular one.

THE FISHERY AWARD.

Dr. Fortin, M. P., hasa motion on the notice paper in reference to the Fishery Award. It is to the effect that the amount of the award accruing to Canada, after pay- ing expenses, should be made a special fund, and that the interest thereof should he employed in restoring exhausted fishing grounds, and developing in every way the sea fisheries of the Dominion.

THE INSCLVENT BILL.

The Insolvency Committee met recently and discussed the new Bill and some slight amendments were made, after which it was agreed to report the Bill tothe House. As in evidence of the length of the Bill, it is stated that it contains 32,660 words.

“Holy” Russia.

An ukase is published, ordering the ap- pointinent of Governors-General tor six of the most populous districts iu Russia, with perfectly despotic powers, even more de- spotic than that wielded by generals in ‘ime of war. An official despatch is pub- lished, appointing provisionally General Gourko, Governor-General of St. Peters: burg, General Todleben, Governor-General of Odessa, and General Lonis Melikoff, Governor-General of Charkoff. . Generals Todleben and Melikoff will command the troops ip their respective governorships.

The Russian Government only condemn their own sweeping by oppressive measures by putting forward such a pretence. The evil is far deeper and more widespread than the account admits; and because the police themselves form one of the classes among which the revolutionary propoganda has been at work, that the Czar’s advisers have felt the need of seeking new, more swift, aud more deadly instruments for the werk of repression. Russia is virtually placed under martial law, and that law is to be sdministered in the most thorongh and merciless fashion.

Tae ** Daily News” (pro-Russian) says : “* We cannot attempt to forecast the result ot the duel between Nihillism and Millar- ism to which this preclamation seems to bea challenge. It attempts to meet the | disturbers with something like their own weapons, and to put down lawlessness by the suspension of law. The mere confession that such an attempt is necessary must seem a very serious step for the Government which, for some years, aimed at being cun- sidered a civilized Government. For the time during which the Ukase lasts, and in the wide and important districts to which it applies, Russia ceases to be what she has recently been, and relapses into a condition of practical barbarisin.

Disturbances occurred at Rostov, on the River Don, in the government of Ekate- rino Slav, on the 14th. The police bein unable to settle it, the military were call out and restored order. The riot lasted from the evening of the 14th to the morn- ing of the 15th, The residences of the Chief of Police and the Overseer of the town, district police station and the police records were destroyed, and two policemen killed. ;

The Emperer and Empress go to Livadia,

The Pall Mali Gazette (Anti-Russian), commenting upen the ukase of the Czar says that the foes of authority area s but determined band of evil-doers, as de- scribed in the ukase, is incredible.
