Tur Dairy EXAMINER, MAY 15, 1873. 5 The “Patriot” and Patriotism.

Tue boundless self-conceit of the editor of the Patriot is one of his greatest charms. ; He has been in Ottawa, and has there ac- quired a knowledge of politicians and their policy so vast in its proportions that it over- shadows and dwarfs the surrounding ob- jects. He is now enaged in shedding en- lightenment around on the benighted indi- viduals of this Province, cautiously at first, like a prudent operator, until our weak vision gains strength to bear the full blaze of his effulgence.

One piece of knowledge to which the pub- lic is treated is conveyed in the shape of a discovery that the Hon. J. C. Pope is a man of no talent. Our contemporary offers no proof of this assertion further than that he has taken diligent observations of ** the member for Queen's ” from the look out of the Reporters’ Gallery. It is unfortunate for our discoverer’s fame that the people of this Island have always been in the habit of regarding Mr. Pope as a man endowed with somewhat superior talent, and they will require, we think, something more than observations carried on from a reporter's gallery in Ottawa to shake their belief. But adds this astute observer, “‘ From all we could see, there is not one of those gen- tlemen [alluding to the five mutes] who did not occupy a higher position in the House of Commons, and a better place in the esti- mation of his Party, than did Mr. J. C. Pope.” How much, may we ask the editor of the Patriot, did he see, for it all depends on this. One thing is certain, that he saw a great many things that never happened— for he has been, over and over again, con- victed of misrepresentation in his editorial reports from Ottawa. He saw Sir John McDonald intoxicated in the House, and may “yet have to pay, along with some others, a penalty for his quickness of vision en that occasion. We readily believe that Mr. Pope was not in a high place in the estimation of the Grits. But it was net to oceupy such a position that Mr. Pope was sent to Ottawa. He was sent to oppose the Grit policy, and he did it, and did it most efectually, as the ill-tempered writings of the Putriot abundantly prove. We do not think that all the editor of the Patriot saw in Ottawa can be taken as correct. He, however, states, on the testimony of what he saw there, that Mr. Pope is not a man of ability, and not adapted for the position in which he has been placed. Let us take a parallel case. The editor of the Patriot once upon a time gave us, in his editorial correspondence, an account of his attend- ance at a drawing-room reception in Ottawa. Would any one, judging of what he saw of that editor, have pronounced him suited to the position into which he had been cast !

Grit Definition of Free Trade. |

ly any member of the Grit Party should ever be sufficiently advanced to compile a Dictionary, we would like to see his defini- tion of Protection Free Trade. Without doubt the of the work would hang on the proper rendering of Equaily sure is it

and of merits these two test words. that such a work is a necessity in order to suit the Canadian dialect. In this country, according to Grit theories, the ordinary ideas attached to these terms are entirely incorrect. We do not for a moment imagine that the supposed lexicographer

The

wonld go to the roots of the words.

would require an amount of conscience utterly unknown to the Toronto lobe, which is the consensus of all Grit faculties. Of course the ultimate standard from which a sensible meaning could be got, would be the Dominion Tariff List under the McKenzie Administration. And even

from this one might find it hard to rightly define the term. The dif-

ticulty is to get a meaning to Free Trade, which would describe the policy of allowing some articles to come in duty free, and also the policy of fixing a- scale of duties on It would have to be comprehen- sive enough to admit of the raised duties on

others.

tea and sugar being also classed under it. Verily, all these things are embraced by the term Free Trade, or we do not read the Ministerialist papers aright!

The only way out of the difficulty seems to be this : struct his definition of study of those articles of commerce last mentioned; let him make that definition his rule ;and let him regard those articles

which come in duty free as awnresolvuble ex-

let the supposed compiler con- Free Trade from a

ceptions. on i THE McCARTHY MURDER. (From the St. John Telegraph. ) Sueprac, May 13.

This has been an exciting day in Shediac, and the throng gathered together to witness the scenes attending the coroner’s inquest has had its attention somewhat diverted by the presence of three —— performing the autopsy on McCarthy’s body, in a barn a little distance below the jury room, but on the op- posite side of the street. It was not until late in the afternoon that the Osborne’s ar- rived from Dorchester jail and took their seats in the jury room, when the work of receiving testimony immediately commenced.

All this time Drs. Allison, Scott and Flem- ing were performing their part of theinvestiga- tion in strict privacy, not even the press re- porters being admitted to the post mortem. They concluded their examination of the skull before tea and will analize the contents of the stomach to-night. Their report will be sub- mitted to the jury to-morrow, but what it may be refmains to be seen. It is pretty gen- erally understood that no fracture of the skull was discovered, though it is possible that clots of blood were found adhering to the inner surface of the bone behind the right ear. In stripping the body and searching the pockets a two dollar bill, a one dollar bill, a 48 cent piece, a Halifax newspaper, a tobacco pouch and a pair of mitts were found. The clothes were well water soaked but not frayed or torn

Would not some strange analogies of the | cohnection between bulls and china-shops have irreverently coursed through the gazer’s mind? ‘‘ Seeeing” is, therefore, a very slender proof of what is apt or inapt. Mr. Pope has the approbation of two large and influential meetings of his conduct in Ottawa. By two counties he has been asked to appear as their representative in the new Parliament. Has the editor of the Patriot ever received a second invitation to attend a drawing-room !

It comes with beautiful grace from the Editor of the Patriot the charge of turn. eoat. This Editor of the Patriot has, in his day, advocated strange and contradictory measures. He has been a Confederate and an anti-Confederate; for denominational schools and against them. He has preached disloyalty, and written in favor of casting off our allegiance to Britain and joining the United States Republic. Looking over his record, his is the last pen that should write turncoat. It provokes investigation, and investigation is what the Editor of the Patriot should fear.

Perhaps the most beloved theory that the erratic editor of the Putriot has taken to his bosom, and the one he has hugged the closest, is Annexation. He doats on this issue. He has few feclings of loyalty to evercome, fewer of a religious nature, and looks forward now with the ardor of a Hebrew for the re-establishment of Jerusalem, to the time when this Island, and all Canada, will form a portion of the United States. This is the element in the Mackenzie policy which attracts him. He sees the country, year after year, going more and more under the control of the Re- public : he knows that Sir John’s policy is a national one, and that he means to build up the Dominion into a great and prosper- ous nation. The Patriot dreads this, and anxiously awaits the day when, along with Mr. Jones, the present Minister of Mili- tia, he may have the satisfaction of raising his hat as the Union Jack is lowered from) our flagstaffs, and the ‘‘ Stars and Stripes’ | run mp in its stead,

by the action of the waves.

McCarthy’s body will be delivered to the family to-night who will take it to Moncton for interment.

The presence of the Osborne’s in court caused great commotion. They have not failed any in appearance since January last. Mr. Osborne has had his whisker trimmed and Eliza appeared somewhat flushed, but no change is visible in either Mrs. Osborne or the boy Harry. They are at the Weldon Hotel in custody of the deputy sheriff.

Coroner Hanington conducts the investiga- tion with ability, being assisted professionally by D. L. Hanington, Esq. Both Mr. Holstead and Mr. Gilbert are here, taking part in the inquest, as representatives of the Osbornes. The testimony of the two witnesses given be low cover all that is known about the appear- ance of the body in the water, and the locality in which it was found, both of which were correctly stated in Monday’s ‘ Telegraph.” A difference of ee as to the appearance of the skin behind McCarthy’s right ear will be noticed in their evidence. The surgeons’ re- port to-morrow will settle the question beyond dispute.

The first witness called was

DAMIEN WHITF,

sworn—i reside in Shediac. I was stream- driving on the Scadouc River this spring for W. J. M. Hannington, and was working there on Saturday last. 1 went on about 6 o'clock, at the R. R. bridge. Philip Voutour was with me. We got a boom full of logs and brought them down to Hannington’s mill about 11 o'clock. There was only us two. We shoved the logs into Hanington’s boom, then came to the house and dried ourselves, as there was a shower. A little after 1 o’clock we started for the bridge, but did not get there. As we

‘were going up we stopped just above farmer

Atkinson’s barn, where we found the body of McCarthy, when I saw it, on the west side of the chan- nel, near the east side of the river. The chaa- | nel runs close into the shore on the east side. | The body was floating up and down with the! tide, which was running down. At flood tide | there is a run up at the river, but the freshet partly checks it. At this time it was running down. Seeing the body, I first thought it was | an old log. 1t was upright in the water and | I saw the bald side of his head first with no | hair on, but when I saw the side with hair | on I knew it was a man. We were; getting nerrer to it all the time.) sung out to Voutour ‘‘here is Tim) McCarthy.” When going up and down we, always kept a lookout for the body. Voutour, | who was on the hind part of the boom, did not ; come up till I called three or four times. As’ I was not poling then, the tide took the boom down stream, but I poled it up the shore and | ran the head of the boom up to the body. 1!

first saw the body. He took 550 from the

right pant’s pocket. 1 did not count the

money ; $207 from the left trousers pockets, a

meerschaum pipe from the inside coat pocket,

and a revolver from some pocket, 1 cant say

which ; a flask from the rubber coat pocket on the outside. The flask had something in it.

On the left side of the rubber coat was a trav-

elling strap. In the vest was his watch and a chain running across to the button-hole. it was a silver hunting watch, black colored.

Did not notice anything else except that the hip pocket was all torn, but a coin was lying in one corner of it. He had a pocket-book All this time the body was half in, half out, of the water. There was a ring on the little finger of his right hand. It was either brass or gold, with a long stone from nearly one joint to the other. He had a rubber coat, a snuff-colored overcoat, a dark body coat.

checkered, ‘with pants nearly like it. The vest and coat were the same, He wore leath- er boots, rubber overshoes and leggings, and what I took to be a white collar anda jpink tie. I did not see his shirt, as his coat was buttoned up then. g abs poles and put the body on it, and carried it to the wagon, and brought it to Mr. Sweency’s shed, where it is now and where the jury saw it. We got it there before dark, McCarthy was my neighbor for fifteen years at C caigne, before and since he was married. I also boarded with him in Moncton. I recognized it as McCarthy's body when the jury viewed it. I know nothing about McCarthy being here on the 12th October. The face looked very natural, except that it was disfigured by the eyebrows, moustache and beard being gone, also the hair off the left side of his head, except around the ear. There was a bruise on the left temple. It was not ascratch, I saw no blood then, but it looked red, partly dis- colored. I also saw what looked hke an old cut on one of his eyes—-can’t say which ; saw no other marks.

By the Coroner—About half blood and water was dropping from his ears.

To Dr. Tuck—His eyes were closed and swelled up some. ‘There was no rope around his neck that I saw.

Cross-examined by Mr. Holstead—I never worked on the Scadouc before this spring, but have had an opportunity to judge the tides. At this time of year it runs faster down than up. ‘he tide would run up only about hali as fast as down. The body was going down with the tide, which was running down rapidly where I found it. The channel was near the East Shore; it was not more than 25 feet to the channel, I should judge. Below where I found him there is a large flat. I never was there at low water; the hip pocket was part gone—some pieces were there, only a corner to hold a coin. I do not know if his pistol was in that pocket. The flask had only about a sma]l drink out. I had the watch in my hand. There was something that looked like a shell attached to the chain. I saw the watch opened, but did not see the works. 1 can't tell in which pocket the pocket-book was_ got. The ring dropped off his finger. They tell me it was found since. [ did not observe the collar of his overcoat. I saw the white collar on his neck. When we first brought the body ashore I was satisfied it was on him. Mrz. Edward McCarthy told. me, on Saturday night, it was probably his shirt band. 1 had no doubt about the matter before that. I identi- fied the body by the face; it was not swollen much. J saw no mark of violence back of his ear, as I did not look to see.

By Mr. Tuck—Whatever the body had on when | found it was on it when we put it in Sweeny’s barn. The water is about 18 or 19 feet deep at high tide in the channel. There is about 3 or4 feet rise and fall. No more water there, I think, than last fall. The chan- nel at farmer Atkinson’s runs about 15 feet from the shore, and the bank slants consider- ably.

By Mr. Hoistead—One rubber legging was torn or ripped some. I did not examine the sleeves ot the brown overcoat.

Philip Voutour’s statement corroborates the above, We will give further developments, arising out of the Coroner’s Inquest, in to-mor- row’s EXAMINER.
