That petitioner addressed [is kxcellency in Councilon the subject, to whith he reeeived a reply to the effect, that the Poetumaster General at Char- Jottetown' was questioned on the subject, and that that officer stated the letters in question were never seen by him. That your peti- tioaer was not tiware of the rate relative to the Registry of Letters, avd praying that the hom. heute would ietitute a strict in- j

|

vestigation of -the matter, with the view, if possible to discover the fraud and prevent a repetition of the same; and also asking the House to grant him the eam of £11 17s. Gd., being the amoant in cash contained tn said lettersg for the luss of which petitiones is the eufferer. ©

Said petition was received and read. and | on motion of Mr. Kickham, te the effvet that the House go into Committee on the subject,

His Honor the Speaker deebined to reeeive | the motion, on the ground that the prayer of | the peticiun ¢eonflicted with the standmg role of the Ilon-e touching the prineiple of | initiation of money votes.

Fiuns. Tiaviland,’ Henderson, Ilensley, MeAulay, Messrs. Reilly. and McNewi favor ed the estatlishment of a Hospital a the [ Tite? ple of the above resvhation.

Hons. Coles, Howlan and Mr. G, Sinclair were of Opinion that sueh an institetion ehould be under ‘the ision of the City ‘ Net ene In Boston, and other Cities of the United States, Hospitals of that charac ter were tinder the management of sach Cities, and not provided for by the State at lar ze.

Tlon. Mr. Pavies and Mr. Howatt alluded te the Mospitai once erected on Government tarm, and which had Ween removed by the aathority of the lite Government.

The Chairman reported the Resolution

a to. ot fol! ‘Committee be

That clause called. forth eunsiderable de- bate. lons. Davies, Llowlan and Henderson contended that in the absence of the more general priveiples of a Bankraptey Law,

the provisions <{ che Bill they feared would ,

lead to partia) and injurious tendencies. Hons, Maydand, Hensley, McAulay and

Duntan supported the clause in question. After sume time spent in Committee,

| progress was reported

The Bill to amend the Edacation Act was then read a second time and agreed to,,

When the sum paid the Feuale School Teacher at Georgetown was read, Hon, Mr.

| fiaviland said that that Teacher should be | placed on the same. fvoting as those in Char-

lottetown. Lis remarks were supported by

| the Hon, Mr, MeAulay.

Hon, Attorney General said that the present Government made no change in the propor- tions of said salaries, bat lett the seale of fees the same as adupted by late Government.

Mr. Piowse thought Charlottetown had more than its share in that respect, and also

propored that the clause requiring the at-_

icndance of Trustees in the presence of each other, before a Magistrate, to sign Teachers’ papers, be amended,

Jon. Attorney General then submitted an

| amendment to said clause, to the effect that

‘Trustees shall only be required to sign, indi- vidually, the Teachers’ certificates in presence of a Magistrate, and not be called upon to sign the came collectively, at one and the same time as heretofore.

Said amendment was then adopted.

The principal a'terations in the School Act, as amended are

lst. Teachers. salaries. to be paid in full from the Treasury, Those who have not ‘aught three years to be paid £5 year less than others for that time.

2nd. Said alteracions to commence at the current quarter of Teacher's engagements,

srd. Average attendance to be calcolated at the end ef cach half year imetead of each quarter.

Hon. Leader of the Opposition said that he would nuw move that the House resolve itself into a Committee of the whole on the

| state of the Colony, to take into consideration

the recent appomiment by His Excellency the Licutenant Governor, m Council, of Mr. Benjamin Raliderston, Junr., te the highly imp rtant office of Registrar of Deedsand Keeper of Plans, he the said Mr. Balderston having taker ar active part as Sceretary of an iilegal combination called the Tenant Union Meeting, weld et Fewle’s Mills, Lot 31, in June, 1865, contrary to the Procla-

| mation iesued on that salject by His bxcel- | leney the Lieatenant Governor on the 22nd | Mareh, 1864; the proceedings of which

meeting appeared in the Appendix of the Journals of that Liouse tor year, 1866; and also to take into coivideration the recent ap- pointment ef Mr. Charles Dickieson to the fice of Road Commixeioner for the Tuird District of Queen's County, he the said Mr. Dickieson having been tried in the Supreme Court for asseiting the Deputy Sheriff. of Queen's County in the execution of his duty, nue for which offenee Le was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment, and fined in the sum of £50. ie (hon. leader of the Oppo- sitior) them addressed the louse on the awb- ject in question, and commented upon the principles cnunciated by the Tenant Union organization, touching their resistance te the laws of the coantry, their adoption of ex clusive dealing, by refosing to hold busimess relations with those in the community who differed with them in their views relative to the payment of rents, and the disloyal ten- dency of their movements; and contended that he would be recreant to the daties which devolved wpon him were be to treat with in- difference and silence the course pursued by the Government in appointing to offices of trust persons holding views so dangerous to the peace and well-being of the community, as those enunciated by the Tenant Uniun organization. Such appointments, he said, were calculated to prejudice the interests of the Colony abread, as it would lead to dis- trast and want of confidence in the Guvern- ment of th country.

lon. Mr. McAulay supported the views of the hon. leader of the Opposition, and seeondvd his motion,

Hon. Leader of the Government, in reply, contended that it was a resolation, and not a motion, which tie hon. leader of the Oppo- sition had submitted, and therefore should, in aecordance with. the Standing Rules of that Meuse, be tabled at | -ast 24 hours before action conld betaken thereon, It came.with bad grace from a mecervber of the late Govern- ment to find’ faalt with the appointment to office of one who, asa idenund anche had been drawing his Warrants from the Trea- sury of the Colony regularly every querter, since the meeting of the Tenant Union alluded to was held. His. certifieates, as Teacher, were approved of by the Board of Kduention, and-bis salary wes paid m War- rants from tbe hands of the Treasurer of the late Gevernment. ‘Wiry then tolerate him in the important capawty of teacher of youth, if bis priac igles were calcuJated to e*danger the peace of the commupity. It was well known that these holding Penant Union views bad-ecen that they were orislead, and had doubtless regretted the cxtreme course which, in some instances, they were

| lead to adopt. It was aleo currently report-

ed that the Publisher of the organ of the

| Tenant Union had been very materially aided | in his work by the gentlewan who held the

office of Registrar of Weeds under the late Government, and the fact that the said Publisher had, at the request of that ofiiver, gone te Georgetown at the last Election, and there reeorded his yote in favor of the bon. leader of the Opposition and his colleague, would show that all the inflaence of the gulp

porters of? Tenant Uvion principles was nut |

giver to the ’present Government. The way to secure “peace and quietness was to j lace

_ these misguided people in the eame positica

with others, and mot to frown them down as a disloyal band of ruffians. ile alluded toa

country some years ago, because he made use of some harsh expressions against land jobbers, and be wae by the Conservative, or Tory, perty appointed afterwards to one of the most lueretive and inyportant offiess of the Colony. He was, however, free to admit that hed it been known that Mr. Balderston was the Seeretary of the meeting in question, the proceedings of which bad beew broaght to the notice of the Colonial Minister, the

| Government would have considered the mat-
