Taal because the Hon. J. C. Pope voted yuat , F oe Anglin as Speaker of the House of penn [le wants to know the reason why Lo ;

jon members voted for himafter he was corrupt practices and violation e of Parliament Act. There

many reasons ; but one will be sufficient on »to calm the troubled mind of our en [ hope friend. Mr. Pope, and the other Op. wrod members who voted for Mr. Anglin, a choose between two evils; and they ‘ot sidered him, with all his sins,the honestest an best qualitied member in the whole Grit wrty. The Patriot correspondent must recol- oa that the choice of Speaker had to be made oit of the 120 members of the Grit party ; and gis now pretty generally conceded that there gever Was @ party im any country composed o! an equal number of thoroughly corrupt and dishonest men. If Queen’s County is still de sirousof more light in the matterof the Speak ers election, I can give further explanation. Yours, &c..,

To the Bditor of the Examiner :

Stz,—A correspondent in your paper of the Sth inst., ‘‘of an irritable temperment,” seems+ ¢) have his “indignation” thoroughly aroused. (he man is to be pitied for his arrogant dis play of selfishness, accompanied by the fact giat he has been deprived of the privile eo keeping manufacturing establishments idle to exit his own convenience. Instead of blaming the Railread officials for what they have done in allowing their men to do certain repairs out- side of the Masthine Shop, they ought to b eommended for so doing. It would be an act of uapardonable seltishness on the part of Mr. Stronach or the Government he serves to re- fuse to allow his men to go and repair a boile: or ay piece of machinery which may at the time be keeping a whole establishment idle for two or three weeks, simply to please some ‘‘ir- ritable” individual personally interested, who signs himself ‘‘Manufacturer.” If such men are prepared todo the work there might be some réasor in the ungenerous remarks made; a3 it is there is none. The jobs alluded to can aot be done in every establishment, hence the reason manufacturers are thankful for favors received from Railway employees.

Yours, etc., MECHANTE. Ch'town, March 7, 1873. = ——— iD l'o the Editor of the Examiner :

Sir,-—The Patriot, I observe, comes forward this morning to,attempt an explanatica of Miss Montgomery's absence from the department in the Prince Street School she superintended up to the New Year holidays. I am told that she has been promoted. Why then is she an- nounced as still in her old place, months after she has been ‘‘promoted ?” From what I can hear, I doubt if she has been promoted. Prob- ably the work to which sheis set, gives Mr. Harper an opportunity of gratifying his be- setting passion, Vis., that of «doing as little as he can help,

As to Miss McLeod being insulted by you or by me, the assertion is false. I know the progress my children made under Miss Mout- gomery, and I know the dead halt they have «ome to under Misa McLeod. I speak of facts. If the latter young lady, however, be so “‘par- ticularly successful with little ones,” I would advise the representative of the Patriot to put himself under her direction without loss of time. ‘

Yours, &c., A PARENT.

Mareh 8, 1875. fo the Editor of the Exammer :

Sin,—In yesterday's Putriot there appeared au article purporting to be a criticism of my remarks-upon the conduct of the Railway De- partment in sending out men to do general jobbing throughout the city and country. “Cit wen” thinks thas I am possessed of a very weddleso ne temperament; but perhaps if h: knew all the circumstances of the case he wouid change his opinion. He (‘*Citizen”) evidently thinks that the repairing of Messrs. Hickey & Stewart's hydraulic press is the instance which drew forth my remarks; but | beg to inform him that he has erred in judgment, for had that been the only case of interference on their part you should have received no communica. tion from me upon the subject. And here I might say in passing that I believe there are mechanics outside of the Railway Department who are just as competent to repair a hydraulic press as there are in it, whe have never been consulted upon the subject. But, sir, this is not the only éase, and I look upon the conduct of the department as contemptible and mean. Why, sir, I am told that no longer ago than last night @ bill was presented to the City Council from no less a personage than the Foreman of the Round House for repairs done toa steamengine and boiler owned by the Local Government and used by the city for crushing stone for the streets; and is it not a fact that at this moment one of their men is away at Bay Fortune setting up machinery for private individuals. Mr. Stronach may have told ‘‘Citizen” that they were not in the habit of doing outside work; but I think that you, sir, and “Citisen” as well will agree with me that facts in this case speak louder than words. There are other instances of the same kind as | have mentioned, which, were it necessary, | could enumerate; but perhaps enough has been said to bring to the notice of Mr. Stronach and the rest of the department the fact that the manufacturers of Charlottetown are not asleep, but alive to their interests, and that they understand the position which a Govern- ment repair shop ought to occupy In &@ com- munity.

Yours, ete., MANUFACTURER. Ch’town, Mareh 7, 1878.

Loniion, March 7. In the House of Lords to-night the Duke ioe era oe to the Treaty of i » he inaintained that Turkey was the only power which had broken them; they were, therefore, practically at an end, Lord Derby admitted that the state of things contemplated in those treaties had ceased to exist ; the treaties were, there fore, only binding until Europe ratified a new system. He would not enter minutely into the question’ of England’s attitude at the Conterence ; but on a general principle England wished the question settled in an European note in an exclusively Russian sense ; and she wished the settlement to be durable and equitable towards all races and creeds ; the task of negotiations was one of no common complexity ; and the Govern- ment would do its best to bring about a/ satisfactory settlement. Lonpon, March 8. The ‘‘Times’” says that it seems certain that France would readily consent to Eng- land’s obtaining complete security in regard to the Suez Canal, but would do her utmost to dissuade England from occupying Egypt. France desires joint action with England | respecting Egypt. A Paris special to the ‘‘ Standard” says that Prince Bismarck recently stated that he himself would propose at the Congress the English occupation of Egypt, Germany guaranteeing the non-intervention of France. CONSTANTINOPLE, March 7.

Reouf Pasha has been selected to accom pany General Ignatieff to St. Petersburg to exchange ratificativuns of the treaty.

It is understood that the Czar, during negotiations at St. Petersburg, will con- siderably reduce the indemnity, and prob- ably grant some further modifications.

The visit of Grand Duke Nicholas to the Sultan has been postponed in consequence of the difficulty in coming to an arrange- ment in regard to his military escort, al- though the visit is now announced for friday, nothing is finally settled in regard to the escort or the Sultan’s return visit.

General Iguatieff and Reouf Pasha will sail for Odessa on Friday. A special to the Standard trom Gallipoli reports the Russians are actually constructing entrenchments from Kadikoi to Sharkoi, on the Sea of Marmora. They have now about 1,800 men with cannon in these lines, which con- front the Turkish lines across the neck of Gallipoli Peninsula.

QUR OPTAWA DESPATCH.

Special Despatch to Daily Examiner. i }

Ottawa, March 7.

Sir John fread letters from Sir William Young and Judge DesBarres affirming the truth of the assertion that Jones had said he would cheer when the British flag was hauled down, and C. Jones again said the statement wos a foul slander.

Sir John submitted the following ameud- ment to the motion to go into Supply :

Rrsolved, That this House is of opinion that the welfare of Canada requires the adoption of the National policy which, by a judicions re- adjustment of the tariff, will foster the Do- minion; that such a policy will retain in Canada those of our fellow countrymen who are now obliged to expatriate themselves in search of employment which is denied at home, and will restore prosperity to our struggling industries, now so sadly depressed ; will en- courage an active inter-provincial trade tbat its motive as such, ought to be in the direction of a reciprocity of tariffs with our heighbors, so far as the varied interests of Canada are con- cerned; and will greatly tend to procure for thls country eventually a reciprocity of trade.

He said he would admit raw and quasie raw materials free ; take off duty on tea and coffee, but did not think that return of taxation need be increased ; he advocated fostering inter-provincial trade and spoke strongly in favor of reciprocity.
