SATISFACTION WITH . MR.

THE APPOINTMENT MONTGOMERY.

OF

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Sir—A large majority of the people of the Belfast district are well satisfied that their late worthy representative Mr. Mont- gomery has got an office, and one that it is his right to get. He was dismissed from the the head mastership of the Normal Schcol, and as long as he is qualified for the situation he has got, he is the person best entitled to it—especially from his friends when they are in a position to give it to him. It is all very well for the Patriot and the vaccillating and shifting Argus, to say that Mr. Manning should be retained ; but if there were honesty enough in them they should tell the truth, that Mr. Montgomery is better entitled to get that office now than Mr. Manning was when he got it from the Davies Goyern- ment.

The Patriotand Argus might well sup- port the Davies Government in everything they did, as they were well paid for that support. Mr. Fletcher of the Argus was Queen’s Printer to that Government, and when he saw that public opinion was turn- ing against the Davies party, he too came round, thinking he would get some of the good things he used to enjoy; and now when he sees there is no more hope for any of these comforts, he turns round again and assists the Patriot to condemn Mr. Moni- eomery for taking office. Both these wor- thies know that he is entitled to the office from which he was dismissed or to one that would be equivalent to it, and they know well that every individual who supported Mr. Montgomery at the late election in the Belfast district is well satisfied ; and all are proud of placing Mr. Montgomery in a posi- tion that enabled him to regain an office similar to, or equally as’ good as, the one from which he was dismissed.

Those that were opposed to Mr. Mont- gomery being returned to represent this district at his last election cannot think he betrayed them. Sir, they did everything they could to have him defeated then. Still those two papers, the Patriot and Argus say ‘‘poor Bélfast is betrayed.” But there is not one of his supporters but know that Mr. Montgomery did not betray them; for before he accepted oflice he tame and held meetings througout the district, and every one at those meetings approved of his accepting office and were all thank- ful to the Government for giving a native of the district the most honorable office in their gift, viz: Superintendent of Educa- tion ; and the Argus and Patriot must know that the supperters and friends of Mr. Montgomery would not be satisfied had he not got the office he now so worthily fills.

I remain dear sir, yours, etc

ccesecirnmtiniion, Sil wages - Michaelmas Night at St. Michael’s College.

This is the evening on which the students of St. Michael’s College, Chatham, after en- joying a day’s sport, snatched an opportun- ity in order to entertain the elite of the city with a grandconcert. This not only exhibited the talent which prevails among them, but reflected credit on the Institu- tion. The stage was nicely arranged for the occasion, while the image of the Prince and tutelar angel of the Church, together with some beautiful oil paintings adorned the scene. The opening of the entertain- ment was an overture from the orchestra, composed of a few violins, organs, etc., which made the spectators feel as if some- thing worthy of the occasion was to follow. The fsalutatary from Master Lawler suited the occasion, and was well delivered, as was his recitation, ‘‘Las Cassas dissuading from battle.” The ‘‘greeting chorus,” from the students, who thronged the stage, made the hall ring from end to end, and the worn out ‘‘Grandfather’s Clock,” received its due. Next we observed a dark person in which stood the relentless ‘‘Maniac,” whose chains were strained with the strength that dragged them, while the haughty jailor jeered at his dreadful threats. He makes one leap, but lo! he is not free, his strength has failed him, and he sinks op his hard couch, never to behold the fol-

lies of the outside world again. But we stop here to gaze on ‘‘Muldoon” with his haughty appearance, which did

not fail to bring down the house. The vocal duett ‘‘Hope Beyond,” by Messrs. Mahar and Delaney, well deserved the ap- plause it received, and may be ranked among the best of the evening. Mr. Wad- leton’s parody onthe ‘‘House that Jack Built” received a hearty encore, and his ‘*Yacob Strauss” delighted the andience. W. Lantalun’s solo was rendered very well, and as amateur he was the nightingale of the evening. J. C. McEachen, who pre- viously distinguished himself as the ‘‘Maniac,” together with Mr. Costigan, rendered Brutus and Cassius in a very ex- cellent manner. The former young gen- tlemen equaled a professional, and he in- dicates to be a finished elocutionist, .pro- viding he would lay aside his comic eecen- tricities ; yet his political stump speech could not have been better. The several overtures should not remain unnoticed, nor ithe Dutch comicalities of » young gentle-

jtaking the principal parts. On one side stood the careless, tareaway Hoosier from the prairies, and in the other cerner was the nervous Lion, sorry for his unexpected ‘encounter. Then a few encouraging re- imarks from some of the leading gentle- men showed how highly _the performtance was appreciated. By special request ‘‘The Curfew Bell” was excellently delivered by Master J. C. McEachen, of Charlottetown; although he was a little fatigued, yet it showed his good action as a declaimer. The National Anthem compelled the audience to retire to their respective Gomiciles, all pronouncing it to be the entertainment of the season. SPECTATOR.

ae To the Editor of the Examiner.

Srr,—Wonuld you allow me, throngh the columns of your influential paper, to give to the friends ef Wheatly River and vicinity a cerrect statement, as far as I can ascer- tain, with regard to the suit between my- self and J. G. Yelland, B.C.M. Various rumors have been set. about since he left for Ontaaio, all of which are untrue. One of them is as follows: that Crew had re- tracted.and paid his (Yelland’s) expenses. In a letter, purporting to be writen by him, and addressed to Mr. William Hichox, of Bungay, I read the following: ‘‘I under- stand that Crew says he never made any apology with regard to the suit.” Then further on he says that ‘‘on the 28th of June he went to see after his suit, when lo and behold ! he was handed Crew’s apology, which was signed by Edwin Crew on the 23rd of May, 1879.” NowI say I did no such thing. I remember sometime previous to January term of the Supreme Court, of giving him an understanding of the matter of what I charged him with, and what I did and di& not do. But he refused to accept it ; therefore, I was saved the trouble of sign- ing it. I have been informed since that my attorney signed it for me. However, if that is the paper he has got, as I presume it is, I would consider it beneath my dig- nity to do such a thing. ‘To declare he would not accept—that he would settle it in the June Court before leaving the Island, is language he used through the neighborhood in which I reside. How- ever, if that is the paper he has got, in the place of having May date, 1879, it sheuld have Dee. date of 1878. And at any rate it is no retraction. The import of it was that I do not charge him with wilful falsehoods er perjury ; but that his state- ment was not true. In the letter referred to he says: ‘The suit is ended and Crew will have to pay the expenses.” I beg to in- form him that he is astray in the matter. I have nothing to do with the expense he has incurred. In the same letter he seems get very passionate and breaks out in threats as follows: ‘‘If Crew has said about me what I am told he has, he will be sorry for it, provided I can get sufficient evi- dence to prove him guilty, as the second suit will be worse than the first.*Tfam almost resolved to write to the Attorney General and have Crew put in jail.” Compare what. he writes to his friends and what he writes me, and then I would thank yon, Mr. Editor, to give me a definition of back-bit- ing. ls it a vice or a virtue? Is ita . Christian grace, or is it the fruits of un- righteousness? After asking me a few questions in a gentleman-like manner, he winds up with wishing me ‘‘temporal and spiritual prosperity.” I should think I could not prosper much either ‘ temporal or spiritual” wore he to have me jailed. I would advise friend Yelland to be more cautious what he writes to his friends. He may be cutting a rope for his own back.

Reciprocity in England.

The Duke of Rutland, speaking at the luncheon of the Bakewell Agricuitural Show, referred to the letter of Mr. Bright on the policy of the Canadian Government, and said he thought that Mr. Bright, when he saw the capabilities of Canada to send breadstuffs to this country, surely would be- of opinion that it would be a wiser, a more generous policy to endeavor to unite Can- ada more strongly to us by giving her differ- ential duties with respect to America by putting 5s. duty on all wheat that comes from America, and 1s. (or if he likes,

nothing at all) on Canadian wheat. He could not consider the pre-- sent one sided system of free

trade a sound principle, and he was supported in that by the statement of Mr. Ward, a Sheffield manufacturer, who said, ‘‘Provided corn were taxed 5s. per quarter, it would amount in round figures to one- tenth of a penny on the feur pounds loaf;” and ,“‘if the goods from other countries were slightly taxed in proportion—for in- stance, as our goods were taxed to each ‘country—he could not help thinking that ‘trade would be benefitted.” If the industry of the country was to be saved it must be done by the uniting of all classes, agricul- turat and manufacturing, deciding at the next election whether they would support ithe trade of this or foreign countries.
