another-in-law. her dress clotted with blood which. but a few tiniuuets before. had coursed through the veins of the child that reclined in her lap. while the young wife. stupetied by what had taken lace. was more dead than alive. In the uproar an confusion no one thought of tanking a search for the author of all the misery. and it was supposed that he had fled. butth an ltour and a hell afterwards his body was found, life being extinct, his throat being fear- fully gashed from ear to car. while around and be- neeth him the floor was covered with a crimson tor- "In.

Jealousy was undoubtedly the inciting cause which led to the porpetrntion of the fearful deed. although it is not known whether he ever hnd any ground for suspicion or not. his wife being of prepossessing ap- poarence and highly res acted.

Rsooxsraocrno WASY.—l'ertbes. in Lelpsie. has published in a pamphlet. with three maps. an essay taken from I'etesmann‘e " Geographical Journal.“ upon the "Political Reorganisation of Germany.” In_this a number of interesting statistics are given. of which we extract a few for the information of our readers.

Prussia had, before 1866. 5,068 square miles of terri- tory. and 19.304.8t3 people. She has now 6396 at nare miles and 23,590,643 people. She has ined. I. re- t‘ore. 1.309 square miles. and 4.285.700 i bitauls.

The States aha hes swallowed are llsnevor. with 698

naremilos and 1.923.492 inhabitants; Kurheueu. with I 2 square miles. and 737.283 people: Nassau, with 85 square miles. and 466.014 poo lo; Frankfort. with It

cars miles taken from the Duchy of Hesse. with 72.- 32 The reckoning is by German miles.

Prussia contained before 1866. 2.504.179 ersons of other nation . not speakin German. ' he foreign element is v Yin increased y her recent conquests. The strength“ the Protestants as been increased. as I’rnssis. before 1866. contained sixt pcr_oent. of Pro- testsnts. and thirty-six per cent. of athohcs. while now the Protestants make sixty-four per oent.. and the Ca- tholics only thirty-two per cent. of the population. _

In the whole North German Confederation. which now includes 29,220,862 inhabitants. I the Protestant: are 71 per cent.. and the Catholics only 26 per cent.

The Confederation has a merchant inarine of 7,167 ships. and 1.836.719 tons. greater than that of any na- tion. excepting only the United States and England.

MEXICO.

The arrest in Texas by General Sheridan. on the presumed authority of the United States Govern- ment. of the Mexican Ortega. is an extraordinary proceeding. Ortega is by the Mexican constitution the actual President of what remains of the republic. as successor to Juarez in a contingency where no election could be had. In defiance of the organic law. ‘Juares after the expiration of his term took possession of the government for another period; but this usurpation was resisted by Ortega. and by all the'chiels of the liberal party above the character of brigands. Juarez is at this moment discarded by those who are making war on the Empire in the name of the republic. and has no following but the little crowd of {politicians and a band of seven or oi ht hundred partisans with him at Chihuahua Hts authority is repudiated. and the generals and troops of the republic refuse to obey his orders or recognise his power. Ortega was on his way to Mexico. and on his arrival. the republicans would have rallied round their constitutional head. It was to prevent this result that Ortega was arrested. for- bidden to proceed to Me rice, but told he might re- turn to New Orleans. It is not necessary to show that such an act is an outrage upon all law; because the principle that might is right has controlled American politics too long for us to expect either government or people sacrificing. any supposed advantage to respect for what is right, lawful or decent.

Juarez. the puppet ol the United States, owing his position to its support alone. will not hesitate to sell whatever previncos of Mexico It covets at aclieep rate. and take his payment in American intervention to thrust on the Mexican people an nsurper. Ortega is a man eta dillerent stamp. he would be willing to accept American aid to restore the republic. and willing to make great sacrifices to pay for it. short of the cession of its territory which is forbidden by the constitution. Therefore 0rtega_is arrested as an impediment to United States intrigue.

The blstory and experience of the human race are against ill-assorted unions. The are generally brought about by fraud and severed by violence. The nulon of dln‘orent races even in the case of Upper and Lower Canada. has culminated in a mockery upon constitu- tional government. That union can not endure for any length of time, and if the same jarring elements which render it abortlve are to be brought into a more extensive unlou. may we not expect a more ridiculous result, and eventually perhaps the employment of the Republican sword to cut out this incurable ulcer from the body politic? if the political union of dld‘ercnt races. possessing different instincts and religious opin- ions. has resulted in l‘ullure. how much more disastrous will the experiment prove where hostllc interests are added to its other dililculties. and a system of centrali- ztttion introduced which must of necessity endln des- potism! Should the expciituent be tried. our firm cott- viction is. that it will not stand the test for three yours.

Second District of Queen's County. was held at Mount Mellick school Home, Lot t9. on Saturday. Dec. 1st. The object of the meeting was to choose a person to fill the vacancy .u the Legislative Council caused by the expiration of Hon. John Golf's term of four years.

The meeting was organised by appointing Nicholas Jen- k‘lis, Esq.. Secretary. Though the notice was very short. yet the house was crowded with Electors representing a large part of the District. from Orwell to East Ilivor.

The clear. connected. and eloquent manner in which he treated the different subjects under consideration. showed not only a cultivated understanding. but extensive informa- non.

The address was listened to with much attention. and ap- proved by aevorel persons who addressed the meeting. In- deed the views of Mr. Ilitythome were received without it dies entiiig voice.escspting it misunderstanding about pledging himself against Confedeation on city terms. which was satisfactorily mtplainul.

The following resolution was then submitted to the meeting :—

Moved by Mr. Alex. hlchill. seconded by Robert Stewart and passed almost unanimously :

Ilitsonviiti. that this meeting nominate Robert I‘. Ilsy- theme. Esq.. as a tit and proper person to represent the 8":- end Electoral District of Queen's County in the Legislative Council.

It was then moved by Samuel Drake. Esq.. and seconded by Peter Bourke. Exp. That this meeting nominate Hon. John Goff. On the latter motion no action was taken by the meeting. The meeting then closed with the usual vote of tlinnks; and the departure of Mr. IIsythome was enlivened by three hearty cheers for him. No rson could witness the effec- tion and regard manifested or Mr. lisythomc by his for- mer tenants without being convinced that the charge of in- gvetitude for favors recclved is a foul libel on the people.

MR. IIAYTIIORNE OR MR. GOFFl

Wiirx we heard them various sections of Queen‘s County that Mr. Heythorne was likely to be the choice of the people to fill one of the vacancies lit the Legis. lativc Council for this County. we were very well pleased at the intelligence; and when we gave ex- pression to that pleesure we were not aware that Mr. Golf again intended to offer his services to the people In the capacity of a Councillor. From the last Islander, however. we find that such is the ease; for Mr. Goff has issued a card to “the Electors of the Second Legislative Council District of Queen‘s County." wherc~ in he says: “ I feelltmydutyte offer myselfageln as a candidate further to represent you la the Council.” Without at all attempting to dictate in the matter. we think it would have better become Mr. Golf not to attempt to force himself upon the people. but rather to allow the electors of the Second District to decide for themselves in the selection of a candidate. Mr. flaythorne. we feel satisfied. is willing to pursue this course. and so far from manifesting any eagerness to aoqutre the prefix of “ Honorable" to his name. it is only the strongly expressed and voluntary wish of the people that would induce him to enter the arena of politics. We are not surprised that thus far Mr. Haythorne is the favorite. and that public opinion polnts to him as the right man. As a leudholder he has voluntarily parted with his Estate to his tenants upon the most libsralterms; he has also materially aided in transforming other Ieaaeholds into freeholds, A long resident of the country. he intimately knows its wants. and he has ever lent his servlces tosupply them. As a scholar and a gentleman. he has. In the interests of the people. discussed the politics of the day; and. amongst other subjects. Confederation. ln a calm. dignified and logical way. Ills education and his temperament. while unfltting him for the noisy and heated discussions of the Lower House. uninsutly qualify him to revlsoths hasty legislation of the popular branch of the liegisloture. and hence the reason of his choice. In line. there is. in our opinion. no gentleman on the Island better qualified for the podtlovi of a councillor. and certainly there is none with a better claim to it. His past history and services are his best recommendations. and should the Second District fall to return him to the Legislative Council, where hi. progressive conservative vlews. his education. his

We do not know what hopes the Confederates outer- tsln of seeing Confederatlen carried through the Im- perial Parliament during the approaching winter; but the few of them who still advocate the measure in this Island. seem to cling to it with the tenacity of despair. They repeat fallacies about legislative unions. taxation and tartffh which have been exploded long ago. just as if the more repetition of them were a source of hope and consolation. All the discussions in which they on- gege about Scotland and England tell more against Confederation than for it. Most intelligentscotchmen admit that unless their country were depepulated. it could not fall to make rapid progress In the industrial arts and in commerce. 1! the Confederates could prove that the discovery of the art of priutlng. of steam na- vigation. and the formation of coal and other mlneral deposits were in any way connected with the union between Scotland and England. the argument soagb. to be deduced therefrom in favor of Confideratlon might then be of some value. The fact is. the develop- mcnt of manufacturing enterprise among the Scotch. could not well be» retarded by any combination of elr. commences, nor under any form of Government. Neither history nor experience serves to show that Scotland Is in any way indebted to her political union with England for her present position and character as a manufacturing country; but both the one and the other sadly testify to the fact that the Act of Union has left the mass of the Scotch people In a worse eeodltleu. if anything. than they were previous to the time of James the First. We will not speak of the influence of the Union upon the Scotch character, nor of the thus that centralisation drlves forth ft'om Scotland the most enterprising and of her sons. and places her in the humiliating position of being indebted to England for the vast majority of the Professors of her Superior schools; butwe will meatless as one of thoresl and
