SUMMERSIDE JOURNAL, THURSDAY, JANUARY 28. 1869.-

,_ to and authorized by 0. public meeting;

the formation of a police force. and an overseer of streets and public pumps. It would be well not to attempt too much ill the‘flrat place. Now as to taxes and aaseaaments. The most equitable mode of levying an assessment. is by a rate per icent. on the value of tile real and person- Ial estate of the freeholden. householders. land lodgers. Iflcvied upon real estate alone. whether in the possession of the owners or occupiers. it bears unequally. and if upon the occupiers only. is more severe upon the poorer classes than the rich. Whereas if laid on property of all descriptions. every one ays according to his ability. and the bae is fitted to [no burden. It IS Oflllc Illinost impoflnncc that in the outset the mass of the people should approve of what is done. As Summcrside advances and its population increases. all enlargement of the powers 'oI‘the Trustees will become necessary. but that will be matter for after consider- .ation. in the mean time every expense ‘save those that are absolutely indispen- sable. should be avoided. If the appoint- ment ofa stipendury magistrate should be agreed to. it is to be hoped that there ‘are many individuals who would accept the oilice and faithfully perform the tin. -ties for the sake of the honor which it ‘would wafer. and the benefits that would result from his exertions. at the lowest settle ofrcnlllncration. The duties would be comparatively light for some tinle to meme. The very fact of there being a properly constituted police force goes of itselfto put and keep down cvil docrs. A resolute man who is known to have a loaded revolver at hand by night nntl by day. is notlikely to be troubled bytllievcs or burglars. The uncertainty ot detec- tion and punishment is the greatest pos- fille encouragement to tile lawless anf. “bandaged. We have intimated thud“ stipendavy magistrate might be found “.1... would not so mucll rely on fire um)... silent to be derived Ironl holi‘nm the office as on considerations of a less selfish nature. Not so.h0'.\'ever. with the chief and subordinate constables. They sllould be fairly and amply recolnpensed. The chief constable should be a man of ac~ knowledgcd firmness and decision of character—doing his always unpleasant duty alld compelling his fcIIolv-oiliccrs to do them. witllont conlpulsory violence and hardship. The constables should also be men of sufficient strength botll of body and mind, as to cause them to be feared and obeyed.

“'0. have said enough for the present. and will wait the result of the decision oftllc people ifs meeting should be called —-—and if any proposal for the advance- ment of the Tan-n. its present and future interests. be agreed upon. ill that con- tingency we shall be happy to contribute all ill our power to I‘lll’lllt'l' the views of the people.

Tu: Seoul. Tea in aid of the funds of the Wesleyan Church calllo oil‘ as advertised. on Thursday evening last. It was well patron- ized. The entertainment in the evening was well attended. The music . rccitatious, dia- logue . &c.. were very good. It only he in- teresting is room of our readers to know that .lhe Wesleyan Church in this p are is now out itftlt‘lllflllltl have about £40 on hand, to lay out in repairing tho building.

Sara”. Dear (Tomlin—A corrupondcnt in- forms no that the people of Remington. Mar- galc. &e.. are anxious to have a Small Debt Court established in the former place. At present they find it. very inconvenient. the other Courts being at such a distance from them. We tblnk this Is no unjust demand. and we would advise the inhabitants to bring the matter before the coming Session of the Leglalature, through their representatives.

A Pcastc Mulztlso was held in Georgetown) on the lith Instant. for the purpose of taking into consideration the requirements of the town. Several resolutions were pared; the first asking for a steamer on the Georgetown lorry; the second for having the telegraph extended to that town; the tlllrd for a grant to a steamer to run between Georgetown and l'ictou tluring tllo winter months while the harbor is open. The subject of the last reso- lutlon is of lntcrc t to the whole Island. and we trust the Legislature will give it tin ir serious consideration. Let the Members for King's and Prince Counties stand by each other. and they will get all they want.
