The Partial Elections and the Government.

————

Since the general election, in September last four partial elections have taken place, and if the result can be looked upon as in- dicative of the popularity or unpopularity of the Government, the Liberal-Conserva- tives must be increasing in favor with the country. The four constituencies thus con- tested returned Conservatives, «lthough one of thera had been won by the Grits in Sep- tember. Since the adoption of the Nation- al Policy. The Grits have also lost the support of one of the ablest men—most certainly the ablest journalist in the Province of Quebec—Senator Fabre. [le lost faith in Mr. McKenzie as a party leader and is giving his support to Sir John and the National Policy. Mr. Coupal, M. P. for Naperville, also, after many years of active support,has withdrawn his allegiance from the opposition and their narrow policy. Altogether, we believe the Government stands well With the Parliament and the country.

Another Conservative Elected.

M. Beaucuesne, a Liberal-Conservative, has been elected by acclamation for the County of Bonaventure, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the appointment of Dr. Robitaille az Lieut. Governor of Quebec. Where now is Grit re-action? Where is the indignation against the Government for the dismissal of Letellier ?

Canadian Railway Matters. The following appears in the Toronto Globe, dated po Aug. 26th :—‘‘Sir Henry Tyler publishes a long letter ad- dressed to the Board of the Great Western Railway in favor of the joint purse arrange- ment, repiying to the arguments against it. He points out how the permanency of the arrangement may be insured, and states that only two courses are open—fusion or competition. The Grand Trunk prefers the former, and if the Great Western Board refuses to treat with him ipon it, he says he will appeal to the General body of the Great Western shareholders. The scheme offers an immediate yearly saving of two hundred thousand pounds sterling, besides incalculable future benefits. Mr. Swin- yard’s letter is also published in favor of fusion. The editors of the Times approve of Mr. Swinyard’s letter and the plan pro- 1. Sir Edward Watkin has been in- vited to accept the position of Chairman of the Great Western Board.”

Gold or Goods.

Although the latest advices show that harvest prospects in Europe have greatly improved, more especially in France, yet the Kuropean demands for breadstuffs this

year will be enormous. Under these cir- cumstances, the question is discussed,

whether America, the greatest shipper of | &!

breadstuffs, will require gold in return or will accept goods. Since the question was raised France has been shipping gold to the United States in order to be prepared for eventualities. The Londen Economist, the chief financial authority, d'scusses the ques- with much concern, but still rather hopeful- ly. It weund up some considerations pro and con by saying: ‘‘We still incline to the opinion that America will prefer our goods and [her] securities to our bullion, new that her currency is so enormous. The great advance in the price of American securities in London since August last makes them, of course, much less tempting to buyers on the other side, and this may, in some measure, complicate matters ; but, on the other hand goods arc cheap, and our sending goods to New York would azgravate the plethora already existing there, gold being now equivalent to money, so that, on the whole,we do not see hew it can pay the Americans to take much bullion from us. Itis thought by well-informed people that gold is more likely to ge from Paris than from London to New York, but a very large sum could be sent from either capital without causing a serious scarcity of money.

InpiaAN FuneraL.—A somewhat unusal sight was seen yesterday afternoon, viz., an Indian funeral. The started from a camp near the North-West Arm and proceeded into the city and to the ce of the Hol Cross. The coffin was slung by cords toa pole carried on the shoulders of two men, and was covere by a white pall. One or two menand about a dozen squaws followed the coffir, walking in Indian file. The women all had

Horrible Murder.

Cacouna, O., Aug. 27.—A horrible

murder was committed here this evening

about 9 o'clock. The unfortunate victim was one Francois Leveque, from Riviere Ouello, an apprentice to a Mr. Labrie, shoemaker, of this village. The murderer is one Dube, a shoemaker, who is under the guard of two men in his own house. It appears that they had some words last night and to-night, while Leveque and two other men were passing near Dube’r house, they met Dube. Leveque said to him, ‘‘ Now Iam ready, I wasn’t last night.” Dube told him to come with him and they would settle it. They went some thirty feet from the others, when Dube stabbed Leveque in the stomach, who immediately cried out that he was killed and fell on the sidewalk and expired, after having crawled about 25 feet from where he fell. Dube then entered his shop, which is now being guarded.

The Boat Race.

It was customary to speak of the Kenne-

world on account of the uncertainty which attended the races fixed to come off there. It must be admitted, however, that Bedford Basin has been acting about as badly as it was possible for our New Brunswick course to have done. Three days time has been lost by several theusand persons whe were desirous of witnessing the Ross-Smith con- test, ‘‘ 10,000” being the number of people who were popularly suppesed to have been in attendance on Tuesday. It is to be hoped that an end may soon be put to the anxieties of boating men and the un- certainity attending the event. There is no doubt that a good deal of money wili change hands when the race is rowed. The betting on the part of St. John has been conducted without much demonstra- tion and with the intention of securing odds in as many cases as possible. At the same time, our betting men have an earn- est conviction that Wallace Ross will win. If Ross be defeated, there will be intense disappointment in St. John, and the city will be a good deal poorer than it is at the moment of writing.— St. John Sun.

The Cattle Trade.

McDonald & Co., of St. John, N. B., with whom Henry O'Leary, Esq., of Richibucto,

has become interested, are vigorously push- ing the cattle exporting business, On Sun- day next they intend dispatching from Monc- ton, by train for shipment by steamship at Point Levis for the English market, seventy- five head of cattle and four hundred sheep. The cattle were purchased in Sackville, Westmorland County, and the sheen in P. E, Island. On the 24th September the same firm intend starting from Moncton by tbe same route and for the same destination, ferty- five head of cattle and four hundred sheep. The cattle in this case come from Nova Scotia and the sheep from P. E. Island. P. E. Is- land is not behind in sheep exportation, for her business men have already found a protf- able market in Scotland for several cargoes sent over in sailing vessels. It is gratifying to note that our traders are determined not to leave the cattle and sheep exporting busi- ness entirely in the hands of the Western people. So far the cattle business has worked well. The returns have been satisfactory in all past transactions, and the prospects are encouraging for the future.—St. John News.

The Nihilist Organization.

A letter, received in Paris from St. Peters- burg says that people in Europe have no idea of the development and power of the Nihilist organization. For instance, it is a mistake to believe it is a superficial movement. and that it has not taken deep root in the Russian na- tion. It is true that the chiefs come from the middle classes, and it is a significant fact that these men should discover no other meaas of obtaining liberty than that of force. A plan has been hit upon, and already applied for a long time, of propagating their doctrines among the masses, and more especially among the peasantry, under the very eyes of the po- lice without awakening suspicion. Their sys- tem is this- -None of their proselyting agents are allowed at first either to show that they are skilled workem or to profess to understand agricultural matters. Poorly clad, these men are sent to settle in out of-the-way villages to work there at their trade for years without iving the least hint as to what is the bent of their political principles. ‘They are extremely diligent at work, and preach by word and ex- ample the greatest moderation, espec-ally in respect to the use of intoxicating liquors, and usually marry in the place. It is only when they have thoroughly established their position and gained a certain amount of influence over their neighbors, that they begi: slowly and unostentatiously to promulgate their doctrines. It is avxserted that in this manner a

net has been spread over the whole of the Russian Empire, the ‘neshes of which are ever thickening, se that it is even now impossibic *» ay hcow

deeply this Nihilist organization has taken root in fhe land and how widespread is its de- velopment. Naturally, the preference is given

thoroughfares and railways. The Nihiiisis, with prudent foresight, have chosen for their principal field of action those places which are the least liable to the supervision of the politi- cal agents of the Government. 1t is thus that silently this active revolutionary party pre

ceeds with its development, which sooner or later must end in an irresistable eruption. For

breaks, ending in bigh-handed and arbit: stead of exterminating it. The Nihilists ar-

rested, itis added, alrealy number tens of thousand.

Tue Odessa Messenger states that never before has there been so much corn stored at Odessa as at the present time, as no orders ar- rive from abroad. The corn in store already amounts to 2,200,0C) tohetverts, and every day the arrive 100 to 150 cartloads.

Somz idea of the rapid settlement of the Northwest may be had from the fact that dur- ing the year 1878 there were patented over 500,00 acres of Dominion lands, divided into something like 2,500 patents as follows :— Lisgar, 89,690 jacres; Provencher, 62,970; East Marquette, 82,112; Selkirk, 78,423 ; West Marquette, 127,002, and the North- west ‘Territory, 67,671; in all, 506,780 acres.

‘©A sraTEMENT of the Irish Question,” written by an Irish M. P., was recently po in the Liverpool ‘‘Argus” and has now

Two Hours on a Tree Tor.—Two young poten who recently returned to St John rom a brief vacation in the country, tell a terrible tale of suffering and adventure. While crossing a field on the Reach, they were chased by an enraged bull and each took refuge in the top of atree. Mr. G. Colby managed to hit ona substantial elm, but Mr. Ganong was unfortunate enough to mount a sapling, the roots of which the bull attacked with such fury that he would soon have overturned it and made a victim of its occupant, but for a shot from Mr. Colby’s revolver, which dis- tracted the enraged animal’s attention. It was fully two hours before the bull left the field, and not till his form was seen crossing the hill side miles away, did the two sejourn- ers consider it safe to descend to terra firma. —News

Criminal proceedings are to be commenced against the whole board ef directors and the late manager of the Consolidated Bank of Montreal on the charge of preparing and sub- mitting to the shareholders an untrue state- ment o* tne affairs of the bank.

Geoftfrion, Renfret & Dorion, m: 'e a demand for a writ of attachment again-t the Mechanics’ Bank for $350, the amount «hich he held in bills of the bank.
