INFORMATION FOR THE CITIZENS.

APDRESSES TO BE RECEIVED—DRAWING-— ROOM RECEPTION.

Tux following dispatch has been received

at the Mayor’s office :— CITADEL, Quebec, 24th July, 1879.

Siz,—I have the honor to inform you that it is the intention of His Excellency and Her Royal Highness to visit Charlottetown in the month of August, and that, weather permit- ting, they will arrive there on the 14th inst.

Following the precedent which has been laid down, they will be happy to receive ad- dresses from the Mayor and Corporation and from the Warden and officers of the County. These addresses are to be held as representing all societies and inhabitants.

During the Viceregal visit, a Drawing Room will be held, probably on the 15th August, of which farther notice will be given.

I have the honer to be, Sir, Your most obedient, humble servant, T. DeWryron, Major R. A., Governor General’s Nec y. To Mayor oF CHARLOTTETOWN, } &e., &c. \

In St. John rigorous measures are being taken to give the Governor-General and the Princess Louise a suitable reception. A letter from Major DeWinton gives the fol- lowing particulars concerning the visit :—

His Excellency and Her.Royal Highness will arrive in St John on the morning of the Gth of August, and on arrival will receive ad- dresses from the Mayor and Corporation and Wardens of Municipality, these addresses to include all inhabitants and societies. They will then proceed to their official residence— the house of Robt. Reed, Esq., Mount Plea- sant. They will remain in St. John on the 6th, 7th and 8th of August.

Her Royal Highness will hold a Drawing Room en the evening ot the 9th.

On the morning of the 9th they will leave for Fredericton, returning to St. John on the evening of the 12th, leaving St. John for Prince Edward Island on the morning of the 13th.

His Excellency expresses the hope that in consideration of the great loss which the City of St. Johu has sustained, the authorities will incur as little expense in preparing for the re- ception ef Her Royal Highness and himself as

ible, as he is well assured of the hearty devotion and loyalty of the inhabitants of St. Joho.

Follewing close upon the arrival of this letter, the Mayor received a telegram from Major DeWinton stating that a Levee and a Drawing Reom would be held in the Court House on the evening of Thursday, August 7th.

It is now understood that the Governor General will arrive in St. John by special train at 12 o’clock noon.

The date of the illuminatien has not yet been fixed. It is presumed that it will be on the evening of the day of the arrival of His Excellency and the Princess, the 6th of August.

District orders have been issued to the volunteer corps of the city to assemble at the {. C. R, depot at 11 o'clock on August 6th to carry out the arrangements agrees upon for the reception of H. R. H. the Princess and the Governor General.

Civic Election.

We learn that the retiring Councillor for Ward One, James Peake, Esq., has decided to withdraw from the position in favor of William Murphy, Esq. It is thought likely that Mr. Murphy will not be opposed.

Jonn Batt, Esg., has been asked to stand for Ward Four; and will probably accept.

At a meeting held in the Hall in the rear of the Railway House, last evening, Mr. Thomas Campbell was nominated asa candi- date for Ward Three at the coming Civic election.

Councitton Davy will stand again for Ward Three.

Dominion Notes.

If a demand were made that the Domin- ion note system, which has worked most admirably hitherto, should be extended, we should not denounce its advocates as the propounders of a measure which weuld be ruinous to the Dominion. Such currency would be thoroughly sound, but the Goy- ernment would most certainly not hold gold for every note issued, but would maintain adequate reserves and no more. Were such a change deemed desirable, we should maintain that it should be brought about gradually, so as not to be oppressive to the borrowers from banks, who would be the principal sufferers by the change. This was the course pursued in England when the banks were restricted as to their issu es in 1344.— Moatreal Journal of Commeree.

Conserv At the banquet given some time 4go by the London Censervative Association to the Conservative members of the city of Lon- don, Lord Salisbury thus defined and con- trasted the policy of his own party and that

of his opponents :—

The policy of our opponents has been to cherish and foster the grievance, to make the most of it, te treat it and to use it as a lever for the pur- pose of introducing large and revolu- tionary measures. That has never been our policy. Our belief is that the merit of legislation is to make the smaliesi possible change that is compatible with ef- ficiency in removing the evil complained of; and we believe that it is an entire delusion to measure the efficiency of a Pariiament or a Government by asking how large and how comprehensive are the measures which they are able to remove. I should as soon seek to measure the efficiency of a surgeon by the number of legs he has cut off, or the efficiency of an architect by the number of houses he has knocked down.

The Poor Indian.

itive Policy.

OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE RECENT ENGAGE- MENT—WHO IS THE AGGRESSIVE PARTY ? The War Department at Washington has received information confirming the press reports of a fight between Lieutenant Clarke’s treops and four hundred Indians at Beaver Creek. Gen. Sheridan’s official re- port of the engagement between Gen. Miles’ command and the Sioux, saya the troops fought in admirable order and are entitled to much credit. The action of the friendly Indians was highly satisfactory. The hos- tiles were pursued twelve miles, when the troops in advance became surrounded. Several hostile Indians were killed and a large amount of property was aban- dened. Two men of Company C, 2nd Cav- alry, and one Assiniboine, were wounded, and two Cheyennes and one Crow killed. A large scouting party sent along the bank of Milk river, near the head of Por- cupine river, report that the main camp of Sitting Bnll, 1,300 lodges, is on Little Rocky creek, having moved from French- man’s creek. The report is corroborated by persons who were in the camp of Sitting Bull as late as June 16th. Gen. Miles tele- graphs that he will move up between Frenchman’s creek and Little Rock, where the main body of the Indians may have been engaged. Gen. Sheridan has located Sitting Bull’s camp at the base of the Woody Mountain, the head waters of Little Rock. The point where the skirmish oc-

feurred is thirty miles from the supposed

location of Sitting Bull. Miles’ force is estimated at 1,000, including Crows, Assiniboines and Bannocks. Sheridan considers Miles fully competent to take care of himself. He apprehends no danger. —_—_—__—_——_——

The Montreal Gazette remarks: ‘‘ An Ottawa despatch announces the dismissal of the Lieutenant Governor of Quebec, and the appointment of the Hon. Mr. Robitalle in his place. The news has been anticipated for some time. Indeed, since the the vote of the House ef Commons, it has never been absent in the minds of those whe took an impartial view of the constitutional ob- ligations of the representative of the Crown that this result would fellow. The discus- sions which have since taken place, and in which we have not deemed it necessary to take much part, has been chiefly interest- ing for the new developments they afforded of the facility with which Liberals can ge back upon their principles in maintaining which all the struggles of their, earlier his- tory were spent. We congratulate the Province upon this important event.”

THE office of Mr. John Ings, on Lower Great George Street, was burglariously en- tered last night by removing a pane of glass from a front window. Two boxes were taken. They contained a number of papers belong- ing to St. Paul’s Church and a quantity of old coppers. The papers were found in the rear of the building to-day.

ZeraA—Last night Prof. Zera appeared for a fourth time in this city, before a very large audience. His entertainment was very pleas- ing to those present. Atthe close Mr. Thos. E. Flynn, City Marshal, drew the gold watch, and Mrs, Thos. Murphy the barrel of flour, Zera will give another entertainment to-night. Don't fail to attend.

Tue Fire at SackvitLe.—A_ correspond- ent at Sackville writes to the J'imes :—*‘ The dwelling-house, shed and barn of Mr. Stephen Ayer, of Sackville, were burned down about midnight on Friday. Mr. Ayer is away from home, and, strange to say, he had his harness shop and a considerable amount of stock de- stroyed by fire a few weeks ago, while away to Prince Edward Island. It is said Mr, Ayer is well insured since the loss of his shop. There is suspicion of incendiarism in connec- tion with these fires.”’ Another correspond- ent says: ‘‘The fire was first seen about 11.15 o'clock, and then from the inside. Mr. Ayer has $3,000 insurance on the house ; $1,000 on furniture ; $200 on barn, in the Queen’s Insurance Co.—so it is fully covered by insurance.”’

The Meat Scahdal.

CHARLOTTETOWN, 28th July, 1879. Hon. D. Ferguson, Commissioner of Public Works. Sir,—In reply to the questions in your let- ter to me of the 26th inst., 1 beg to say— That Sergeant Allan’s statement that he complained to me of the quality of meat sup- plied by Mr. Bridge’s to the Poor House, is correct ; That I notified Mr. Bridges, by letter, of Allan’s complaint. I am, Sir, Your obedient serv’t, Georer W. Hopidson.

Lunatic AsyLUM, Charlottetown, P. E. L, July 29, 1879. Te the Editor of the Examiner.

Drak Sir,—I enclose copy of a letter ad- dressed to the editor of the Patrivt in regard to his strictures on my conduct concerning the meat supplied the Lunatic Asylum during the past year. Asthe Patriot is not published until Wednesday evening, and as I wish to exonerate myself as soon as possible from the charge brought against me by that paper, I trust that you will give insertion to it in your celumns.

I am, yours etc., E. 8. BLANCHARD. Lunatic AsyLum, Charlottetown, P. E. Island, 29th July, 1879. Editor Patriot.

Dear Sir,—I beg to take exception to the manner in which you, in your issue of Satur- day last, criticise my action in reference to the supply of beef for the institution under my control.

[ feel confident that you do not wilfally misrepresent me in the matter, but that you are unacquainted with the facts of the case, and will be willing, with your usual fairness, to set me right in the eyes of your readers.

Your suggestion that my former letter was written from a fear of losing my office, I pass by as unworthy of comment, merely saying that it is not true.

If it were true that I made no complaint of the quality of beef supplied by the late con- tractor, until after the tender of Blake Bros. had been accepted, it might, indeed, be a cause for surprise. But such is not the case. I spoke several times to different Trustees about it before the present Government came into power; and, at our last Quarterly Meet- ing, the matter was brought up and discussed informally. I stated then to the Board that the meat was inferior; and, I think, it was upon this information that the tender of Blake Bros. was accepted.

The only fault [I found with the beef was, that it was too lean—there was almost no fat upon it. It may have been such beef as the contractor intended to supply when he under- took the work. Of that I cannot speak. If it had been unsound or stale, I would have had no hesitationin returning it. But, if we received any such, the fact did not come under my notice. As it was, I did not think it in- cumbent upon me to return any of it. »-When, however, the Board of Works advertised for another year's supply, I felt that we ought to have a vetter quality of meat, and teld the Commissioner so.

The meat we had been receiving was not bad, it was simply toolean. The above, which is a plain statement of the case, ought to con- vince any unbiassed mind that I did only what I considered to be my duty.

Iam, Yours, &c., E, 8. BLancuarp, Medical Sup’t.

To the Editor of the Patriot.

Sir,—When making my statement—as pub- lished in the Examiner of the 25th inst.—I was not influenced by the Hor. D. Ferguson. And neither was my letter queezed out of me, as you have stated under the heading of ‘‘More Unsoundness.”” I did not intend to say any more on the meat question, unless Mr. Bridges wrote over his own signature. As regards Mr. N. P. Stramberg’s letter: that: part of it referring to me is not correct. His interview with me was very short, and little said. He wanted me to give Mr. Bridges a certificate that the meat was good, and I told him I would do no such a thing, as it was inconsist- ent with what I had reported to the Secretary of the Poor House, and the Secretary made the report to Mr. Bridges in writing. Why does Mr. Bridges give this is a denial ?

With regard to the late Medical Officer's certificate. I ask him did he ever see the meat before it was placed into the boiler, in its raw state? Iam prepared to state that the cook made four complaints to the doctor, instead of one, as stated by Mr. Beer, M. D, One complaint in my own presence, one com. plaint in Mrs, Allen’s presence, and two in- the absence of master and matron.

I am sir, your ob’t servant, Joun ALLEN, Charlottetown, July 28th, 1879.

Statement of Mr. Cephas Grigg, to Mr. Allen, Master of the Poor House.

Str, —I was in the employ of Mr. Bridges at the time Mr, Allen complained of the meat. In my opinion, the meat was not good, and there was room for complaint. I teld Mr. Allen that I would tell Mr. Bridges about it. He said, ‘‘Very well.” I did tell Mr. Bridges about the meat being complained of by Mr. Allen. Mr. Allen complained several times.

(Signed) Creryas Grice. Charlottetown, July 29, 1879.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Sir.—The manner in which Dr. Beer dis- charged his duty as physician to the Poor House, may be inferred from his certificate to Mr. Bridges. The cook complained of ‘‘udders of cows” being too fut for human food. The impartial doctor remembers about the ‘fat,’ but conveniently forgets about the ‘‘udder.”’ How useful a convenient memory is to some people ”
