LETTERS TO THE EDI.

Reformation Needed.

Sin,—I feel thankful to you for calling, from time to time, the attention of the cor- poration to the neglected state of the city sidewalks-—I regret to say with little or no avail.

It appears to ime that steps of a more de-

cisive nature are required to be taken in order to compel the fathers to fuifil the duty they took on themselves when seeking che suffeages of the citzzens for — the honor of a seat in the Town Council, We expected something more of them than the display of ability shown in passing a by-law, ori attaching themselves to one of the two parties who, fromtime to time, rule our destinies im appropriating the Civil Last Bill.

{ submit to you the advisability of call- ing together a meeting of our peo}; nle, that

e may have a plain talk with our rulers— giving them an opportunity to explain, tf they can, the reason why they neglect the important duty of keeping the streets and sidewalks in proper repair, and that we may Know the reason why they allow so many vt their triends to encroach onthe side- walks.

i wonder that the shopkeepers on Queen Street are not more alive to their own In- terests. They work hard and vie witheach other in displaying their finery through costly plate glass windows, but they neglect vo look after the /athers keeping the side- walks in decent repair. How short-sighted of them! Do they think a lady will tramp over their corduroy promenade to the upper end ot Queen Street, or trom there to the lower end, merely to leok in at the grand windows? No, ladies would rather pay a iittle more for an article nearer home than subject themselves toa sprained ankle in the undertaking. If the trumpery of signs were all cleared away, and proper side- waiks laid duwn, Queen Street would be- cule the promenade of the town, and Queen Street shopkeepers would be the gainers. Brick siaewalks in this climate are a nuisance, and ought not to be allowed to be jaid down.

Bad as the streets and walks in Charlotte- tuwn are, the roads in the Cummon are worse. The highways leading from the city to the Royalty are in- the most scandalous condition, and are a disgrace to the corpor- ation; a stranger, in driving over these d——d roads would conclude that some ex- traordinary feud existed between the towa and country peuple, and that the fathers ot the city encouraged this gulf in order to cut off the trattic between the peoples.

Judging from my Own experience we have nothing better to expect so long as we return the two tactions —the Seott Act and the auti-Seott Act—to the Council. They must be swept away beiore any reasonable relurmation can be expected, and a mayor elected over then wlio has proved himselt to be a man of business.

Although you have, as I said just now, directed pubiic attention to these grievances, L am sorry to say that your conteiaperaries, the Patrwt and the Guardian, apparently

sanction, or rather are indiffere ent to any ameunt of transgression on the improve- ments of the town, so long as the transgres- sion does not interefere with their mania in relation to the Scott Act.

I am, Sir, Yours respectfully, PUBLICOLA.

Srr,—I have been greatly pained to read the language attributed tuthe Rev. Mr. Whitman, pastor of the Baptist Church, i yesterday's EXAMINER. |] would fain be- lieve that the rev. gentleman has been mis- represented and misreported. To say that Stipendiary. Magistrate Fitzgerald and the Police force have been attacked in an un- fair and cowardly manner, either through the pulpit, platturin or press of this city, in the matter of the Scott Act, is simply un- trne.. The attacks made by yourself, sir, by the press generally and by Mr. Whit- man himseif heretofore, were open, nianly md above board, approved and endorsed by every good thinking man and woman in the community. J defy anyone to point out & single instance where the Police de- partment have been unfairly attacked for the manner in which they have enforced, or rather not e.forced, the Scott Act in Charluttetown. Have they convicted a single violator of the law within the present year? The advice so generously tendered the advocates of temperance requires to be acted upon by the rev. gentleman himself, fora more humiliating exhibition of the weakness of human nature ever witnessed by the citizens of Charlottetown is found in last evening’s report of the rev. gentleman's’ Sunday evening discourse.
