Myr. Perry and the Patriot.

»

Arren all the Patriot has done for Mr. Perry it was rather too bad of Mr. Perry to denounce it as he did at Tignish. “That miserable paper” which slanders the people! _these are the terms in which Mr. Perry spoke of the Patriot. After all the speeches thé Patriot has made for Mr. Perry- after the unstinted the Patriot has bestowed upon Mr. Perry—to be dubbed by him a ‘‘miserable paper.” Mr. Pope, whom the Patriot has misrepresented, could

praise

_ 1 . , aye not have expressed his abhorrence of the Patriot's slanders with greater fervor or The Patriot

ereater strength of language. A hearty

must be saved from’ its friends. anathema from one of its enemies does the Patriot little harm. But that Mr. Perry— Mr. Perry who, the Patriot says, is a better min at Ottawa than Mr. Pope—should have denounced it as ‘‘a miserable paper, is ‘‘ the most unkind eut of all.” +4A<>P + The Maritime Provinces.

Our Halifax correspondent, who has large sources of information, indicates splendid gains for the Opposition im both New Brunswick and Nova Scotia at the ap- proaching General Election. He is not in the least too hopeful. His letter fully bears out the information from other sources which we have received. And what is true of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick is equally true of Prince Edward Island. There is not one of the Maritime Provinces which will not give a majority for the Op- position, and the aggregate would of itself constitute a fair working majority in Parlia- ment. There are good live men leading the Opposition in all these Provinces. In Prince Edward Island Mr. Pope is more than a match for all the Yeos and Davieses who can be brought against him. In Nova Scotia the only man of the least eminence in the Grit Pavty is Mr. Jones, and he has but liit'e influence outside of his own constituency. The rank and file are of the Sam McDon- nell, Ray, Goudge stamp, and a pretty poor stamp it is. Prominent in the Conserva- tive ranks are Dr. Tupper and Mr. James Macdonald, both men of great ability and very considerable Parliamentary experience. When we say that Mr. Burpee is the strongest and ablest man in the Ministerial ranks in New Brunswick, we have said enough to show how inferior the Govern- ment Party there is to the Opposition. The people of New Brunswick are looking for- ward with anxiety to the day when Mr. Tilléy, freed from the ties of office, will come forth to speak to them. Aided, as he will be, by such men as Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Palmer, and Mr. Domville, all able and en- ergetic, it isthe sheerest folly of the Goy- ernment totalk of carrying a majority in that Province. We feel confident that they can’t do it; we might almost say we know they can’t.

Mr. McKenzie must be aware that in the Maritime Provinces he is overweighted in the matter of men. He bases whatever hope he may indulge, in the patronage of the Government and the assumed belief that the people of these Provinces are favorable to his fiscal policy. We know that so far as the money influence wielded by the Goy- ernment goes, he will not hesitate to use it unscrupulously; but we are satistied he greatly miscalculates on the trade question. What the people of the Lower Provinces have desired is reciprocity. They must now see that this cannot be got by giving every- thing to our neighbors and getting nothing in return. They are fast realizing that if the Government of the United States are to be brought to terms, it must be by pursuing the policy set forth in the amendment moved last session by Sir John Macdonald. Mr. Pope puts this view so plainly to his people in Prince Edward Island that they see its reasonableness at once. And in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia the un- fairness, the absolute wickedness, of the ex- isting system is getting to be thoroughly understood. Apart from this the Govern- ment have, by their general want of capacity and failure to live up to their professions, set our cousins by the sea so strongly against them that they will send up a strong con- tingent to insist upon a change of adminis- tration. The Maritime Provinces will give a good account of themselves.—Toronto

Panoramic View or CHARLOTTETOWN.— One of the best things we have seen for some time in the way of pencil drawing is the panoramic view of Charlottetown sketched by Mr. Ruger. With unwearied patience he has drawn every building in outline on a scale small enough to show the whole city ; has located every building so exactly that every citizen can pick out his own place. Streets, railway, streams, pub- lic and private buildings seem to be quite correct. The intention is to lithograph the work if sufticiently encouraged, but as the — will be considerable the company will not do any more unless a suflicient number of copies can be sold to secure the necessary outlay. It is an enterprise that deserves the attention and patronage of every resident in town. It will be a valu- able picture for ornament as well as for reference, and the changes constantly tak- ing place will make it an interesting relic of to-day to those that live in future,

Why ! my dear fellow, can’t you see We have hired inspectors, one, two, three. if you think we hadn't enough before, How easy to add one inspector more ; And, you know, we Argus and Patriot men Are so handsomely paid to fight with the pen, And defend the job through thick and thin, : Whether right or wrong, what care we a pin:

A letter was read from Messrs. Wright and McGowan, offering to supply the City with Acadian round coal for $2.70 per ton of 2240 lbs., landed on Pownal Wharf. It was ordered to lie on the table.

A petition was read from Richard Mit- chell—who is at present confined in the Queen’s County Jail for selling liquor with- out license—asking that the Council would remit the fine, and allow him to’come out. On motion of Councillor Stumbles, second- ed by Councillor Byrne, it was resolved That the said Richard Mitchell be allowed to come out of prison provided he gives sufficient security for the payment of the fine and costs. Carried.

A letter was read from the Agent of J. H. Murray’s circus, asking that permission be given him to held the said circus at Rochford Square.

His Worship thought it particularly ob- jectionable that any show should be held at that place, near the door of a Church where divine service is held morning and evening.

Councillor Stembles was of opinion that showmen should not be allowed to pitch their tents on any public square within the City limits.

lt was therefore moved by Councillor Stumbles, seconded by Councillor Peake, and carried unanimously—

‘*That permission be withheld from John H. Murray to hold a cireus on any of the public squres of this City.”

His Worship stated that Owen Connolly, Esq., would give a piece of land wherewith to open a street, 90x40 feet—from Dorches- ter to Haviland streets—in exchange for the Fire Engine House on Pownal Square, he agreeing to erect in its place a_ brick build-_ ing facing the square—0x50 feet.

It was moved by Councillor Hooper, and seconded by Councillor Smith—

‘¢ That a Committee of three be appoint- ed to consult with the Recorder in regard to the said offer of Mr. Connolly, and re- port at the next meeting of Council.”

A letter was read from the Bazaar Com- mittee of Zion Church, asking to refund half the amount which they paid for Market Hall for holding a bazaar, said amount being too high. The sum of $15.00 was, on motion, refunded. Another motion was also carried, that no similar requests be entertained by the Council. ,

A letter, which was read from John Sinott and A. Callaghan, states that they would complete Pownal Wharf extension for $5.50 cents per foot. It was ordered to lie on the table.

Read a bill from Mr. John Sinnott for building Pownal Wharf, amounting to $6,- 700. ‘This bill was, on motion, referred to the Wharf Committee.

It was moved by Councillor Morris, sec- onded by Councillor Byrne—

** That Whereas, William Potter was convicted of selling liquor without license, and sent to jail on the evidence of a person who has since been indicted, by the Grand Jury for perjury in the said case ;

Therefore Resolved, That the Recorder of ‘the city be requested to have the said Wm,

Potter released from prison a8 S00n a8 Pos- sible. : a { A letter was read from the Keeper of Vic- toria Park relating to the breastwork and s passed request- to report on the around

grounds, and a motion wa ing the Park Committee cost of completing the breastwork Victoria Park.

Councillor Morris gave notice that, at the next meeting of the Council, he would bring in a by-law for the management and regula- tion of Victoria Park.

The meeting then adjourned,

amen eect a: meee hree Men Seriously Stabbed by a Negro.

Inarrsout, Ont., July 2.—A fearful out- rage was committed about 12.40 this morn- ing by a negro named Neil, formerly of London, but working here now as a barber. He called at the McMurray House and was refused admission. He then took a dirk- knife out of his pocket and stabbed Mr. McMurray in a most frightful manner, Mr. Capron, the constable, and. the Mece- Murray House hostler, while trying to ar- rest the negro, were also cut in a shocking manner. ‘The town bells are now being | rung to arouse the citizens, for the purpose of scouring the country for the wretch, and if he is caught it is feared he may be lynched. ‘The negro’s house in town has been broken into and searched. He for- merly kept a barber shop on King Street, London. Mr. McMurray, Mr. Capron and the hostler are all seriously injured.

At Ingersoll, July 3, a large mob, numbering about 150, were on the streets notifying all the colored people to leave town by Saturday noon. They have threatened to break into the Hook and Ladder Company’s Hall and_ take their ap- paratus to pull down a rookery on King street and one on Thames street North, where Neil escaped from the mob last night. No,further damage is reported, except the smashing of windows. The feeling here is intense. Constables Heeney and Capron are on the track of Neil. Mr. McMurray is in a very critical condition, and the Me- Murray House hostler is improving.— Toronto Leader.
