| JOHN ANDREW MACDONALD.

| We have toannounce, toeday, the death lof John Andrew Macdonald, E:quire ‘which took place at his residence, on | Pownal street, at an early hour this morn-

| ing. Mr. Macdonald was the only sou of

| the late Hon. Joho Small Macdonald who / wa: one of the notable meo of his day and | the firat Roman Catholic elected te rep-~

resent a constituency in the Legislacure of

P. E. Island. Early io life the deceased | gentleman wai & promineat merch- ant of Summerside and active lin «© political ~=—_ circles. Subsequently he was for a_ sbort time Post-

| master General of the coloay. At the |eutbreak of the great rebellion in the United States, Mr. McDonald entered the army of the North and did honorable ser- vi:e forthe Union. After the war he had returned .o his native Island. He has livei in retirement fur many years. His tall and handsome figure was feuwliar to the peo; l+ of Charlottetown; and he wa: distirguished for his gentle courtesy and ease of manner. We sympathise with bis sisters and other relatives in their bereavc-

REFERRING to the summary dismissal of the Rev. Donald McNeill, and the appoint- ment of Mr. Ewen S:ewart McPhail to bis office in the Educational Deparimeat, The Patriot says:

faithful official for several years, and it is regretted that in view of certain changes in this department the Government has been obliged to dispense with Mr. McNeill’s services in order to place a younger and more active man iu his position. No doubt the public will see the necessity tor the change.”

What are the changes? The Legisia

hae not authorized any changes. Therefore the changes cannot be radical or important. Suppose there are changes ic contemplation, is not an experienced vffi- cer, informed as to every detail of the work, better fi ted to carry them into ef- fect than a green-horn, however young or active? The Patriot’s excuse is rather too thin. The public will, we are sure, refuse to see in it any necessity for Mr. MeNeill’s summary dismissal cause assigned,

“LT asked my hotel proprietor at Nice a few days ago if the season had been a good cone.

“Oi, passable, said he ; there has been no lack of visitors, but these devils cannot rest a moment in one place. Where do you think they are off to this year?

“Malta, Cairo ?

“Yes, but worse than that. durman, sir, Omdurman !

“The deuce. They lose no time!

“No. The day aftor Omdurman was captured they began to advertise Omdur- man. Cook’s took it in hand, and I should not ve surprised if there is already a temple, a theatre, and a casino there.

So that it that Guardian should atiempt to exense the scandalous gerrymander—ove feature of which is that each of the electors of King’s County shall bave bat one vote for oue candidate each of the electors of Queen’s and Prince shall vote for two

and that one member shall

while

candidates, represent 18000 and 22,000 peop’e ip Prince and Queen's respectively, whi'e io King’s one member sball represent 26,000 —~by quotations from the British North America Act.

The Guardian qvotes those sec ions of the British North America Act which provide that for purpures of the election of members of the House of Com.

ihe

mons:

““()atario shal! be divided into the coun- ties, ridings of counties, cities, paris of cities, and towns, enumerated in the firs: schedule to this Act.

Quebec shall be divided into sixty-five elecioral districts, composed of the sixty- five electoral divisions into which Lower Canada is at the passing of this Act divided. Each of the eighteen counties of Neva Scotia shal! be an electoral district. The county of Balifax shall be entitled to returoa two members and each of the other connties one member.

Each of the fourteen counties into which New Brunswick is divided, including the city and county of St. Joho shall be an electoral disirict. The city of St. John shal! al-o be a 2eparate electoral

di-trict. Each of those fifteen elestoral districts shall be entitled to return one member.

Bat it overlooks and omits the plain statement at the beginning of the section, (40) “Untin rue Pariament or CanaDa OTHERWISZ PROVIDES,”

Eitzer inteptionaily or unintentionaliy The Guardian deceives its readers as to the meaning and scope of its quotation,— which refers sirictly and only to the con- ditions existing at the iime ef the union.

Parliamentary revision and change from time to time were evidently contemplated inthe British North America Act, on the basis of representation by population. Adherence tothis basis and adherence to county aod municipal lines are clearly incompatille and impossibl: ;'for the pro- portion of population in respect to the various counties and municipalities is con~ stantly changing.

It is enacted that:

51. On the completion of the Census in the Year one thousand eight hundred and seventy-one, aod of each subsequent de- cennial Census,the Represeatation of the Four Provinces shali be readjusted by such Authority, in such a manmier, and from such time as ine Parliament of Canada from Time to Timé provides, subject and according to the following Rules :--

(1) Quebec shali have the fixed Num- Ler of Sixty-five Members ;

(2.) There shall be assigned to each of the other Provinces such a number of Members as will bear the same Propor- tion to the Number of its population (as. certained at such Census) as the number Sixty-five bears to the Number of the Population of Quebec, (80 ascertained) ;

(3.) Inthe Computation of the Number of Members for a Province, a fractional Part not exceeding One-half of the whole number requisite for entitling the Province to a Member shall be disregarded, buta

number shall be equivalent to the whole number ;

(4.) On any such Readjurtment the Namber of Members for a Province shall not be reduced unless the Proportion which the number of the Population of the Pro~ vince bore tothe Number of (he aggregate population of Canada at the then last pre- ceding Readjustment of the Number ot Members for the Province is aeceriained at the then latest Census to be diminished

Se 1 effect until the Termination of the then

existing Parliameat.

This is the plaa eet forth in the Britieh North America Act for the redistribution of representation in the House of Coms mons. There is nothing whatever in i; about adherence to the counties, ridings of counties, cities, parts of cities, and towns enumerated in the first echedule of the act» which refers merely to the electoral divis sions existing in the year 1867. The Guar- dian is entirely wrong upon this poivt ; and it ought to apologize to its readers and the public at large.

The Guardian is also wrong in its implication that the Government has adhered to county lives. These lines have been departed from in the bi.! betore Parlia,, ment in at least fifteen different cases. When it euited the Liberals’ purpose they went back to county lives ; when it didn’t, —they didn’t,
