ARY 16, The “Patriot” and the Supreme

| Court.

Tuk Patriot has several columns with | to the oflice of Clerk of the That they have received legal | inspiration there can be no manner of doubt. We caunot truthfully call the writer a legal “luminary, because, if | we remember rightfully, “luminary” has | something to do with light; but we look | in vain for avy “light” in the long-| winded, wearisome twaddle to which we | One would fancy from the

are treated. source from which the inspiration comes that there would be some attempt to tell the truth, and not wilfully misrepresent the facts. Take for lowing :—

do so, nor do we suppose is he ashamed

fre erown is swv

article must have

of it.

But there is one statement of our con- temporary iu a previous article which really requires explanation :

‘We, however, have been informed that the statement in Tue Examiner, ‘That the contention of the Judges is that the ap pointment of Prothonotary carries with it that of Clerk of the Crown, is a musre- presentation, no such ground being relied op, nor even mentioned in the letter of dissent and remonstrance sent in to the Lieutenant-Governor.

Now we ask this question, and it is

one to which we dare the Patriot to reply : Llow does he know what are the “grounds”? relied on iu the letter of

dissent and remonstrance sent in to the Lieut.-Govervor. Will he ask us to believe that the Lieut. Governor or the Executive Council have taken him ivto their confidence and shown him this letter? This is too absurd. No one would believe him if he were to state that they have. Has the Chief Justice or Mr. Justice Peters taken him into their confidence and shown bim @ copy of the draft. Such an act would be so highly improper and indiscreet that we can not for a moment believe that it ever took place, and yet the Governor and Council and the Judges are the only persons who have yet seen this document. There is one alternative which we are inclined to believe. It is that the Patriot's statement as to what the “letter” contains is evtirely false—a complete fabrication; that the Judges wever committed themselves to such stupid reasons as he credits them with; and that in fact it is, to use an expression now almost historical, ‘“‘u malicious falsehood and a flagitious lie.”’

But the richest part of yesterday's article is the lecture which is read to Mr. Justice Hensley. The writer in the Patriot says :—

‘*Mr. Justice Hensley had a perfect right to change his opinion, and, if satis- fied it was wrong, was bound to do so, but we do think that when he knew the opin- ions of his colleagnes, and when he himself had not objected to their view of the ques- tion, he would have been better advised had he waited to again consult with them before taking a step which he knew to be in opposition to their wishes.”

Such language coming from the editor of the Patriot alone would be ridiculous aud absurd; bat, when the source of its iaspiration is considered, it is more, it is grossly insolent aud wantonly in- sulting.

The Proposed Dominion Exhibition.

Taz meeting at Market Hall last night passed by acclamation the resolu- tion in favor of a eity grant equal io amount to the sum subscribed by citizens for exhibition purposes. The estimated amount raised by subscription is about $2,000. This, with an equal sum from the City Council, making in all $4,000, is highly praiseworthy, and shows that the people of Charlottetown are in earnest io their efforts to do all in their power to secure for this Proviace the Dominion Exhibition, 1884.

Civic Election, The following gentlemen nominated to- day for the coming Civie Election:— FOR MAYOR. D. R. M. Hoaper, Esq. FOR COUNCILLORS. Ward 1—Thomas Morris. Ward 2— Wiliam Murphy. Ward 3—Edward Davy. Ward 4—Samuel McRae. Ward 5—Alex. Horne. All elected by acclamation.

Citizens’ Meeting. A LARGE meetirg of citizens was held in Market Hall last evening to receive the

Civie Accounts for the past year, and hear our City Fathers giving an account of the'r stewardship. Henry Beer, Esq., mt. ees occupied the Chair, and Mr. Peter Mc- Court was appointed Secretary. Councittok Morris, Chairman of the Finance Committee, was the first speaker. He drew attention to the depreciation of property in the city, and said people were unable to pay heavy taxes. Taxation was, therefore, lowered last year, and by manag- ing the affairs of the city economically, the Council were enabled to show a surplus Lust year there was a surplus of $1,821, but the Council then in power did not pay a debt of over $1,300 which was due and carried over to the year justended. After alluding to the debenture debt, he spoke of various reforms necessary for the city, and closed by remarking that the Council now in power were as active and zealous as any he had eeen since he was first elected to the Board. COUNCILLOR befove the

Tanton laid

meeting a brief statement of the city’s | He compared the actual expen- |

finances. diture with the estimated expenditure, and showed how the Council by brought both as near as possible together. He showed the reductions in salaries, etc., that had been made, and asserted that the city was by over $3,000 in a better position than it was this time last year.

Patrick Brake, Esq., M. P. P., criti

cised the work of the present Council. Previous to gaining power they told the citizens of Charlottetown that one per

cent. was enough to meet the requirements of the city, as the former Council was a very extravagant body. But when they attained power, they found that with all the economy they could exercise they were obliged to levy one and one-twentieth, or $1,500 less than their predecossors. Now, if the previous council had to receive the Scott Act fines as the present Council did, they would be able to meet the require- ments of the city with a levy of one per cent. And if the Scott Act fines were deducted from the revenue of the city last year, there would be a deficit, notwithstanding the levy of one and one-twentieth per cent. The present Council boast of spending less money on the streets than their predecessors. This may be a fact. But the streets of Charlottetown were never in a more disgraceful condi- tion than they were last year. After show- ing the number of penny wise and pound foolish, and, in some cases, disgraceful re-

ductions in expenditure made by the Council, Mr. Blake showed that the present Council had followed the

example of their predecessors in issuing debentures. After referring to the want of legislation with regard to the School Trustees, and expressing the hope that the schuol tax would be before long paid by the house-holders, as well as real estate owners, he concluded his remarks by stating that he was in favor of a liberal grant from the city to the Dominion Exhibition.

CounciLtor Tantos replied to,some of Mr. Biake’s statements.

Hon. Thomas W. Dopp expressed himself well satisfied with the work of the City Council, and moved the following re- svlution :

Resolved, That the meeting express its thanks to the City Council for the efficient manner in which they transacted the city affairs during the past year.

The motion was seconded by Owen Connolly, Esq., and carried almost unani- mously.

Charles Palmer, Esq., moved the follow- ing resolution, which was seconded by Dr. Jenkins, and carried unanimously.

Whereas, The Dominion Exhibitions, which have been held in all the older provinces of the Dominion, ¢«xcepting this Island, contri- buted lar,ely to the prosperity of farmers, mechanics and artizans, by stimulating them to greater efforts in successful competition, —

And whereas, By holding the Dominion Exhibition, 1584, in Charlottetown, a large amount cf money would be speat for building material, and in payment of wages to mechan- ics and others for putting up suitable build- ings and other necessary works pertaining thereto,-—-

And whercas, A large amount of meney must be expended in Charlottetown by visi- tors to the Exhibition, all of which must find its way into the pocket: of the merchants, hotel and boarding house keepers, livery stable proprietors, and citizens generally.

Therefore Resolved, That in the o:inion of this meeting, the City Council will be justified in giving a sum from the funds of the city, equal in amount to that raised by subscription of citizens, to aid in successfully carrying out the proposed Exhibition, believing that the benefits arising to the citizens from said Ex- hibition will double repay them for any such outlay

Three cucers were then given for the success of the Exhibition, and the meeting dispersed.

The Soudan.

A good many people are, at present, puz- zled over the ‘‘Sondan,” of which they hear so much, They are not quite sure if it would betray an unpardonable amount of ignorance for them to confess te a gen- eral kind of unacquaintedness with what the Soudan is, and how far it extends. Wonld it give these people—who, by the way, need not be ashamed’to confess their ignorance—any kind of satisfactory infor-

mation to tell them that Sondan is the name given by the Egyp- tians to all their dependent em-

pire stretching from the Third Cataract for an indefinate distance towards the lakes, and from the Red Sea to the western border of Karfar! This empire comprises much of the Nubis, all Sennaar, all Kordo- fan and al] Dufar. It is said to be about 1,000 miles square, or as large as India. This vast extent of » million of square miles is said to be inhabited by about 12,000,000 people, most of them Mussulmans, and many of these of exceptional ferocity, fanaticism and daring, Eventuaily, it seems likely the English will have to tack's with this wild ferocious crowd, if, at any rate, it invade Egypt, which is far from un- likely.--London News. ee
