Charlottetown, July 14, 1877.

THE ROW,

We endeavored, yesterday morning, to vive the facts and nothing but the facts of the disgraceful row of Thursday evening: That some of the Orangemen as well as sme of the friends of the rioters should think we failed in our endeavour, is not surprising. No two persov, who were pres sent, give precisely the same version of the affair. All was. confusion enveloped in semi-darkness. An exact report would, under the circumstances, have been a marvel ; and, although we have the evi- dence of several disinterested spectators that our report was substantially correct, yet we are quite willing to admit that, in ome minor particulars, it may have been a ‘little wide of the mark:”

With reference to the remark that the city was, during the row, in the hands of titteen or twenty foolish men and boys, we, of course, meant to convey the im- pression that there were fifteen or twenty leaders who controlled the city instead of the recognizod authorities. Weare now convinced that we overstated—rather than understated—the number. We are strenghtened in the conviction by the fact that only twentyseight warrants have been issued; and that both leaders and foilow- ers are comprised in that number. We noticed, too, that the majority of those arrested yesterday were mere boys.

Sesides, what become of the charges against the police and the Stipendiary Magistrate, if our statement was incor- rect? If, as alleged, there were from three to five huodred men actually en- gaged ion the riot, the police only per- formed the parts of prudent men when they refused to make arrests without ads ditional assistance ; and the Stipendiary Magistrate, instead of being censured, deserve great credit for adopting a short and bloodless method of quells ing so serious a riot, and for waiting for his vindication of the majesty of the law till he had the broad day | git to aid him, and till he could obtain the effective help of his fellow-citizens, It is quite clear that our statement must be endorsed, or the charges against the civic anthor- i ics must be withdrawn !

IN THE CITY YESTERDAY,

Tue excitement of Thursday night fresh-~ ened yesterday. All the forenoon large numbers could be seen disenssing the sub- ject of the riot. Reports were floating through the town that the members of the City Orange Lodge would march in proces~ sion through the streets; that they would surely be attacked, and that no one knew what would be the consequence, Warrants were issued for some parties known to be among the crowd at the riot, and twelve were arrested, During the arrests, which took place at 4 o'clock, & large number o* special constables were sworn in. The parties arrested were taken first to the -¢ Lock-up” and about 5 o’clock transferred to the jail, Between the time the arrests were made and the time the prisoners were transferred to the jail over seventy-five special constables were sworn in. The prisoners were transferred with the great. est care. ‘Iwo horses, yoked in « large ex- press wagon and one of the city working~ horses were procured for the purpose. ‘The prisoners were taken from the cells, hand_ cuffed, and were placed in the vehicle cia the back.door of the Police Station. As the vehicle moved off from the stition the speciil constables, numbering about one hunred, formed in procession and followed it to the jail, where they were received with great ceremony. ‘Three prisoners at a time were conveyed in this manner, and

MEETING AT ORANGE HALL.

A meeting of Ouimeibten, and other Protestants, presided over first by Sergeant Allen and afterwards by Hon, A. B. Me. Kenzia, was held in Orange [all at 1] o’clock yesterday.

Mr. J. B McKenzie called attention to an article published in the Examiner, in which there was a statement to the effect that the city was for a time in the hands of from fifteen to twenty men and boys. This statement he pronounced to be incor- rect,

J. H. Frerourr, E-q, said he had read the articles alluded to, and he thought the statements they contained generally fair and correct. But, instead of from fifteen to twenty persons being engaged in the riot, there were from three to five hun- dred. The attack was premeditated ; and a shot from the opposite side of the street was, he believed, the signal for the com- mencement of a row, in which unoffending men were attacked in a cowardly manner by an organized mob. The policemen he declared a disgrace to civilization. Five of them sympathized with the rioters and would do nothing. He hoped citizens would show them that they expected a per- formance of duty.

CounciLLor Hooper and others offered remarks to the same effect.

Mr. W. L. Corron (who was present re-~ presenting the Dairy Examiner) requested the meeting to contine itself to the point raised by Mr. McKenzie, to read botb articles as they appeared, and to point out the mistatements.

The articles were then read — some parts with applause. Several speakers, however, said that there were certain errors; and a Committee consisting ol Messrs. J. B. McKenzie, D. Stewart, and Councillor Hooper, were appointed to wait upon the Editor of the Examiner with the corrections they thought necessary,

Mr. J. B. McKenzig then called attention to the failure of policemea Brenar, Mc Gonnell, Bradley and Robinson to perform their duty.

After some discussion it was moved by Daniel McKinnon, Esq., and

‘« Resolved, that the Stipendiary Magis, trate be requested to investigate, at once- the conduct of those policemen who were on the ground at the riot on Thursday

evening. and who so disgracefully failed to do their duty.

Davip Mutcu, E:q., said that as several persons present hai, in the course of their remarks, censured the Stipendiary Magis» trate for trying to quell the riot by bargain. ing with the rioters, he thought it but fair to that oflicial that an investigation should be made into his conduct. Their was no doubt that areport of the disgraceful pro-~ ceeding would go abroad, and it was just as well that the meeling should show that they do not approve of the authorites back» ing down to mob law,

He moved a resolution to the ettect, that a Committee of five be appointed to bring the matter before the Government, for the purpose of having it investigated,

H. Lawson, Es3q., said he thought the ac~ tion proposed rather harsh. ‘Their was no doubt the Magistrate had blundered, but the blunder was made in the interest of peace, He moved an ammendment to the effect —

‘That this meeting views, with grave displeasure, the conduct of the Stipendiary Magistrate in yielding to the demands of the mob for the lowering of the flag on the Orange Hall.”

Rey. S. G. Lawson thought that, as the Stipendiary Magistrate was a public official and had blundered publicly, therefore he should have a public rebuke.

The matter was furtker discussed, the original motion accepted, and D. Mutch, Esq., Hon. A. B. McKenzie, Hon. K, Henderson, Mr. D. Stewart, and another [whose name we did not hear) were ap- pointed a Committee to wait upon the Government.

QUERY.

The Patric’ thinks the reason why the Charlottetown Schools were so ineflicient in ‘the past, is bc cause the Board of Education was not responsible to the people. Why then is the Bourd of Trustees for Charlotte- town moto on irresponsible body —holding |otlice during the pleasure of the Govern- ment, and not one of them either elected by orresponsible to the people?

A SEALING TRIP IN OUR HARBOR.

Waite the rays of the setting sun were glaring broadly on the harbor waters last evening, a boat pissed under the shadow of Battery Point, and in the dim religious light thereof, discoursing of other scenes and other days, the occupants were startled by the near appearance of a dog's head?

Their sympathies were at once excited, as the anima! was a good distance from the shore and must be exhausted; so while the champion of the pirty backed water the amateur stood in the bow chirping to keep poor doggie’s spirits up, and ready to haul himin. Buta; the boat approached, the till now) silent stcersman cried out in mocking tones, ‘'a seal, a seal’; and then a change came over the spirit of the dream. The champion, raising an oar aloft, stood ready to cleave the helpless animal’s head, and seal his end with blood, while the steersman yaidled the boat gently back, the amateur whisperingly exhorting them to take him alive if possible.

But the first noises heard did the work; and just as hopes rose high in the bosoms of the sealers, the object of their solicitude gently slid under the water, and the refrain floated on the evening air, “So near and yet so far.”

SUPREME COURT—TRINITY TERM,

The case of McLure v. McKay is still bes fore the Court. The witnesses on both sides are being examined, aa'l the Counsel have addressed the jury. Judge Hensley will charge the jury to-morrow morning.

Heard v. Union Bank. A new trial is to be moved for in this case. [t appears that the jury intended the verdict to be “$1705 for nine months salary”; and that the claim of the Bink for $1718 should stand—

so that a balance of $13 would remain against Mr. Heard, Aflidavits t» this ef- fect have, we learn, been made by several of the jurymen.

MEETING AT WINSLOE ROAD,

Tax meeting of electors advertised to take place in the Winsloe Road School louse on the evening of the Ilth, to take into consileration the new School Asses- ment Law, was attended by about fifty of the neighboring farmers.

Cuaries Greoor, Exq., Brackley Point, occupied the chair,

Hon, Mr. McGitt, M. L, C. for the dis- trict, was called on for an account of his stewardship, which he gave in a lengthy ad- dress. He said he did not endorse the acts of the Government, and thought it would be better to have each lot a munici- pality, with power to tax itself for roads and schools. Ile advised the people to call meetings and bring pressure of public opinion to bear on the Government.

Mr. Cupmorr followed. Among other things, he asked Mr. McGill why he sup» ported the Government in their obnoxious measures last session.

Mr. MeGitt replied that if he had op- posed them last winter, he would be con- sidered unsound on the “School Question.”

GrorGe Suita, K-@., followed with a sledge~hammer speech, every word of which told with terrible effecton the Gove ernment policy.

Mr. Duncan Kennepy tried to defend the Government; but the feeling of the meeting was evidently against him; and his effort treated with derision.

Several other gentlemen gave their opin- ions on men, and governments, and things and were particularly emphatic in their de- nunciating of our present rulers.

Me. D. McKay, the m mber for the Second District, being present, was called on. He made a lengthy speech, in which he gave his reasons for supporting the Govern- ment in some measures, and opposing them in others. le was totally opposed to the leading features of the taxation Bill. He thought we had too much machinery now for collecting taxes without adopting Mr. McGill's municipal plan, and setting anoth. er lot of tax collectors at work,

Mr. Duncan Suaw made a manly, earnest speech, and when he said that the present Government should be apposed in every legitimate manner, he appeared to have the sympathy of tae whoie audience with him—-with one or two exceptions,

Mr. D. McKeyzir, from Charlotteteown, being called upon, made a few remarks, in which he counselled moderation, ile did not think last year’s legislation was what the country had a right to expect; but he

out, ile thought the machinery in Public Work and School Departments entirely too

sition to the Government.
