‘THE GRIT FRAGMENT OF A GOVERNMENT IS ALMOST GONE.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

| Srr,—Sad as it may be to stand and be- ‘held a dying Government in the last throes (of dissolution, with visages extended to the longest extremity, When all hopes are fled, sympathy and help gone, their sun al- ‘inost set, and all that is near and dear to them, which they fought so hard to hold tagainst the well-understood wishes of the people, about slipped out of their grasp forever, yet we cannot but cunfess that a good and wise lesson will bs Jearnt from

their actions; for the incoming Government will see the truth of the wise -man’s saying, ‘‘ when

the naughty rule, the people tremble. Pride cometh before destruction anda naughty spirit before a fall,” and although a Govern- ment may be numerically strong, aud make their empty boasts, and have all pride, ar- rogance and conceit, and not deign to take advice from older and wiser heads; and al- though they may be able to let a contract to strangers to build a huge asylum, and cross every t dot every i, still their is danger in trampling on the rights of the people, who virtually will exercise their united power to crush out all tyranny. In conclusion I would say, for the sake of common decency in Government affairs, that Mr. Davies should at once deliver up the Government, and not show any such meanness for strife of office. Yours, etc., AN ON-LOOKER.

A Succassful Municipal Under- taking.

At a meeting of the Birmingham (Eng.) Town Council, the other day, Alderman Chamberlain, M. P., im bringing in the annual report of the Gas Committee, gave an interesting summary of three years’ operations.

The works and mains of the two Gas Com- panies which supplied the town were ac- quired in 1876 by the Corporation at a cost of $10,000,000. In addition to paying in- terest on the debentures and making exten- sive additions to the mains and works, the profits had been applied during the three years as. follows: $400,000 paid to the credit of the Improvement (streets, sewers, etc.) Fund, $159,000 to form a Reserve Fund, and $200,000 to the Sinking Fund. In addition to all this, reductions have been made in the price of the gas equivalent to $300,000 per annum.

The consumption of gas in the year 187 was 2,494,495,000 feet, and the price at which it is sold at present is 63 cents per thousand feet.

t was also incidentally mentioned at the same meeting that the waterworks, since they had been acquired by the town, had paid from $30,000 to $40,000 annuallly into the Borough funds, after paying interest, providing an increased supply of purer water, and extending the pipes into scat- tered neighborhoods, which no company would think «f supplying.

The Revolt in Kharkoff Prison.

A London dispatch of the 26th says :— ‘<The riot in the prison at Kharkoff is now reported to have been a very serious affair. Kharkoff is the capital of the province of the same name, and is situated about 400 miles from Moseow. It is an important city and has a university, a fine laboratory and theological seminary. In prison were a large number of students and other politi- cal prisoners, guilty of no offences save that of a political character. They had formed a plan for a general revolt against the keepers of the prison, and it is understood that among the inhabitants of the city they have numerous friends, whe stood ready to assist them. The plot miscarried, as it is said, in consequence of the premature at- tempt at seizing some arms belonging to the guards. The prisoners fought desper- ately, but the military garrison of the place was called in to aid the keepers of the pris- on, and the revolt was at last quelled, with loss of life on bot! sides.”

The annual report of the Caisse of the public debt of Egypt, issued on thé 10th inst., estimates the floating debt on the 31st of December last at £9,120,000, and the total debt, both consolidated and non- consolidated, at £84,732,000, showing only a diminution of £655,000 as compared with the amount at which it stood in November, 1876, though Messrs. Goschen and Joubert had arranged for its rapid amortization, The report adds that, in view of the ap- proaching disappearance vi the revenue from the Moukabala (a kind of lard) tax, this fact ought to seriously occupy the at- itention of the Egyptian Government and | these interested in the credit of Egypt. In conclusion, the report says : ‘* The Egyptian bondholders are so numerous that our con- duct can hardly meet with the approval of all. We alone are judges of our conduct, which will be dictated by what ia really beneficial to the bondholders and justifiable from all points of view.”

OTTAWA NOTES. THE CATTLE PLAGUE.

In Mr. Mackenzie’s first speech this session he commented, with a certain show of disapproval, on the Government’s policy in regard to the cattle plague in the United States. In the Mail it was said, in reply, that the action of Hon. Mr. Pope and the Cabinet would be found to have saved the cattle trade of Canada from serious disas- ter. It is now understood that the British Government would have ‘ scheduled ” Canada as an interdicted country if the measures taken by the Cabinet, at the ad- vice of the Minister of Agriculture, had not been taken so promptly and wisely. This fact will go a long way to discredit any as- sault that may be made by Mr. Mackenzie on the policy of the Government in regard to this great question, so important to the agricultural and stock-raising population of Ontario.

THE CANADA PACIFIC R. R. CONTRACTS.

The withdrawal of Morse & Co. from the Pacific Railway has once more made the subject one of general interest. Morse & Co. were dissatisfied from the first at not getting the contract for the whole 185 miles, but it was generally supposed that they would go on with the work given them. There were not a few, however, who thought their figures too low, and those express no surprise at the subsequent action of the firm. It is hinted now that Morse & Co. have pooled their issues with the firm of Andrews, Jones & Co., with the hope of realizing more prefit than if they had carried it on alone, the difference be- tween their separate offers being over $350,000. This morning a_ well-known contractor stated that in his opinion the tender of Andrew, Jones & Ceo. was far too low also, and that they, too, will fail to come to time to-morrow, and that the con- tract will go to Fraser & Pitblado. Of course there is considerable ‘‘ squealing ” among the Grits about the matter, but they cannot get over the fact that the prin- ciple of aecepting the lowest tender, with due regard to the security, has been strictly followed.

SUPERANNUATIONS AND GRATUITIES,

The return presented to the House by the Finance Minister, of superannuations and gratuities, gives some interesting par- ticulars. The return takes in the time which has elapsed since February 22, 1878. The annual allowances amount in the aggregate to $20,749, the principal items being John Langton, late Auditor General, 82.716 : T. D. Harrington, Deputy Receiver General, $2,230; T. C. Bramley, Clerk in the Receiver General’s Department,31,078 ; E. A. Meredith, Deputy Minister of In- terior, $2,520; J. Leslie, Postmaster, Toronto, $2,459,

The gratuities amounted to $2,793. The saving by the abolition of certain offices was $10,186. Allowances to the amount of $12,498 have lapsed by death and_ other- wise. The receiptstto the supernanuatien fund up to the 20th June, 1876, were $349,- 963, and payments from the same $659,- 533. During last year additions were made to the actnal number of years services in five cases, said additions ranging from ten to two years. There were in all 48 super- anuations in the year, in 20 of which annual allowances were allowed and in the remain- ing 28 gratuities were given.

The rumors about Mr. Masson's retire- ment are quite unfounded. He is as well as ever, and will be in his place when want- ed, despite the uncharitable and _ ill-con- cealed wishes of a portion of the Opposition press.

A grim story of life in a lighthouse comes from the Burmah coast, and is printed in the Rangoon YVimes. A telegram having announced that the light on the Alguada Reef was not visible, a steamer was des- patched to ascertain the cause. The cap- tain on landing discovered two of the men in the lighthouse dead, while a third was lying in a precarious state. The keeper stated that signals of distress such as ‘I want immediate help” and ‘‘Man dying,” had been exhibited by him for about twenty days. As a last resort, all his signals hav- ing failed to attract attention, he darkened the lights on the Bassein side, feeling cer- tain that this step would not fail to attract attention to the lighthouse. And so, with the dead and the dying, he watched for relief, which came at last.

The King of Spain recently met King Louis I. of Braganza, of Portugal im Elva, on the frontier, on the occasion of the open- ing of the new railroad frem one kingdom to the other, and it is said that their meet- ing, ostensibly to honor the opening of the rajlroad, was really to treat upon the mar- riage of Louis’s eldest son to the Princess Maria Pia, second sister of Alfonso.
