pats 2% aes f+ 22 ne . . £0 the editor of tie Hreaminer.

Dean Str,—Under the heading of “Dread

Sul Suicide,” in your issue of the 3rd inst.,

you conveyed a story that would thrill the heart of every person who read it; aud cause many to doubt that there is a land of British liberty and British justice.

Is it not high time, Mr. Editor, thatsomething should be done to strike from our statutes the power given to hard hearted and grinding creditors to throw an unfortunate fellow- creature in prison after taking from him what little he had of this world’s goods?

i consider, sir, that the present Government are more to blame fer allowing ‘‘ Imprisonment for Debt” to remain a law of our Isiand, than any previous Government, becanse they went into power promising veform and a revision or repealing of such of ovr statutes as required it. We have only to turn up the Hon. W. D. Stewart's card to his coustituents previous to the last General Election, and. we will find that he promised, should he be elected, to en- deavor to do away with ‘* /mprisonment for Debt.’ Flas the Commissioner of Public Works kept his pledge’ He has now, for two

sessicus, enjoyed a the floor of the House, anda snug office on the lower storey; ‘but he surely has forgotten

his promise to to the electors of Strathaibyn ; evel while the House is iv session, while he is heaping encomiums on the Government, and assuring the struggling tenantry that he and his colleagues are the friends of the poor maa, an unfortunate fellow-creature—from the very district he represents—and whom he had prom-

i ° . ised to protect, is left to the, mercies of a brutal creditor. [ do riot wish to blame Mr.

“Stewart more than any other member of the Government. They are all in fault, But I atlude to him, because he most assuredly prom- ised to use bis influence in repealing the law of ‘‘ Imprisonment for Debt.”

As to the who took advantage of this vile law, and imprisoned poor Mcinnis after taking from him what little he had, I have nothing to say. The matter is, porhaps. better settled. with his conscience and his God.

I trust, Mr. Editor, that this matter will be fully ventilated in every newspaper in Prince Edward Island, and, if something is not done before another election comes round, that every free and independent elector on this Island, will pledge the candidate who solicits his vote, to use every possible means to remove what is and has been a curse to our Island—~ ‘‘imprisonment for debt’-—from our Statute

To the Ediior of the Evaminer :

Dear Str,—As you do not hold yourself “responsible for the opinions of correspond- ents,” you will not, I presume, iesitate to give these lines admission to the columns of your journal.

Charlottetown has had its gala day. Gusi- ing reporters have exhausted (not a difficult task) their mental powers in deseribing the oc- easion. They tell how statesmen unbent their far-seeing minds,—-how cool philosophers waxed enthusiastic, —how keen merchants forgot their pursuit after riches,—and all for what purpose? To assist at a Baby Farce. The corner stone of a new school house was to be solemnly placed. Generatious yet unborn were to be made acquainted, in future years, with the zeal of our Island for their eelucation. So thought our city magnates. Dim visions of hoary antiquarians groping, a hundred years hence, amidst the ruins of the ‘‘City School,” aud gloating over the discovery of the **Public Schools Aet, 1877,” and the ‘‘Superintendent’s

Xeport,” 1877, flaunted torough the imagina- tion of the goo! gentlemen who managed the Faree. It hasalready been pointed out by a contemporary that the documents will inipress two truths on their discoverer, viz., the un- christian spirit of our Legislators, and the sac deficiency of education in our Superimtendent.

But a Latin inscription was, also, placed in the bottle. This fact almost took away the breath of us backwoodsmen. ‘‘Ay, mon, they are unco larned,” was the universal ver

tended St. Dunstan’s for a couple of sessions, pronounced the inscription to be a worthy companion of the ‘‘Report.” The questionabie elegance of the second line—the strange ex- pression fundamentum ‘‘night pass,” he said ; but it was certainly untrue that all the schoo! children of the Province were present ; only the infantine population of Charlottetown was re- presented. Moreover, he observed that future readers of the precious document will have but a faint notion of the powers and jurisdiction of the City Schools’ Board ; for whether they are guardians of all the schools on the [sland, or of those of the whole Dominion, or exercise a vigilant supermtendance over all the schools in the world, the inscription telleth not, <A

Doubtless the address of Mr. Hodgson was eloquent; hut surely your reporter must haye misrepresented him. I feel certain that Mr. Hodgson never gave expression to 80 unreasoii- able and anti-Christian a sentiment as that it was a duty to uphold a nieasure once it appear- ed on the Statute Book. ‘That would be the quintesséiice of State Worship. Mr. Hodgson searcely sil this; but at is asserted by mony. The penal laws of England against Catholics— the’‘* May Laws” of Prussia——the vile edicts of Russia against Poland are, forseoth, to be up- held, because they are ou the Statute Book ! It.is the darling principle of tyrants, and the watchword of infidel Parliaments, and is re- echoed by their feeble “imitators; but- Mr. Hodgson has not abdicated his manhood and his conscience,

THE QUEBEC ELECTION.

Statements and Opinions.

—

in view of the il-favor in which the De Boucherville Government were, throughout the

Province of Quebec, by reason of their extra-

vagant railway policy—and the many scandals with whieh

their successors in office have labored most indusériously to blackea their character——it is somewhat surprising that they should have had as much success as they have at the Polls. The result of the elections can hardly be said to have justified the Lieutenant Grovernor in his arbitrary and un constitutional dismissal of the DeBoucherville ministryy For adimtting that the Liberals are right in their eount, and have a majority of one or two— that only goos to show, that notwithstanding the many sins of the hate ministry, a large pro- portion of the people, if the Conservatives are right, a2 majority, preferred to support them, rather than submit be the personal government of M. Letellier de St. Just. If the Joly ad- ininistration rea#ly havea majority, the fact is to be explamed, net as the expression of a de- sire on the part of the people of Quebec to en- ‘lorse the action of M. Letellier, but to some extent, by their disapproval of the railwa policy of the old Government, and to a mue iarger extent, by their being influenced by the scandals above referred to. —-7'orch. :

Our despatches this morning confirm the previous calenlations of our Montreal corres- pondent. The DeBoucherville party shave thirty-four seats, the Rouge party only thirty- This wilk make it quite impossible ior Mr. Joly to elect a Spearker or pass his estimates ; and the old party must again ‘take the reins of power in the Province. — It will then be in order for Mr, Letellier to step down and out for fear of the consequences. It is quite impossible that. a grave constitutional outrage, perpetrated, as no one deubts, with the fall connivance of the Ottawa Government, should remain unpunished. ~ The powers of the constitution must be tested to their utmost to punish such an offence, to prevent its recur- rence, and to preserve the liberties of the peo- ple.—Hs. Herald,

Chauveau (Rimouski) has been elected by the casting vote of the returning officer, whe is a strong Conservative, but doubtless deemed himself the servaat of the Government for the time being. This completes the 31 Grits. The Chicoutimi election will not be known till to-morrow, but there appears no doubt ofa Conservative being elected. This will make 34 on Conservative list, and complete the whole count.

The United States andPrivatsers

The Wew York Herold thinks that the United States Government is far too lax in winking at Russian operations in American harbors and cities. The Herald quotes the following extract from the laws of the United States on the subject :-—

‘Every person who, within the limits of the Cuited States, fits out or arms, or attempts to fit out or arm, or procures to be fitted out or armed, or is knowingly epencerned in the furnishing, fitting out or arming of any vessel, with the intent that snch vessel shall he en- ployed in the service of any foreign Prince or State, or of any colony, district er people with whom the United States are at peace,” shall be subject to certain heavy penalties pres- eribed in the act. The thing is equally for- bidden whether the foreiyn State be at war or nol.

And in another article the Herald says :

“The fitting out of ships to ernise against English commerce is a thing which cannot be done in the United States untess our Govern- meat neglects its duty.”

ASOLDHER sharper from across the border has visited St. Johu, and operated success- fully on one of our brokers, who has been victimized to the extent of $500. Mr. Geo. Philips, broker, was visited by a man &n- swering the same description, on the even- ing of Wednesday. iis first gnestion was the value of gold drafts and, on being teld, he produced a draft of $1000, gold, whieh bore the signature B, A. Morrel, was. dated Galveston, Texas, and payable in’ New York. He said the name was his own and volunteered the infurmation that lhe wasa Judge of the Texas Supreme Court. His story was so plausible and he appeared so frank that any suspicions that the broker may have entertained were dispelled... Mr. Philips advanced $000 on the draft and also gave the ‘‘judge’ a certificate of deposit for the balanco. He then took his depart- ure for the New Victoria Hotel, where he said that he boarded. The astonishment of Mr. Philps may be better imagined than described waen he received a telegram on

hursday (in answer toa depatch that he had forwarded to Galveston) that the draft was a forgery. Inquiries were made at the hotcl named, but as, may have been ex- pected, the ‘Texas Jupge’ was non est ~St, John Telegraph. 7

Sincurak Resutr or a Commo’ Prac- vice. —It is no uncommon thing for persons rambling in the woods to pull a few leaves froma tree and eat them. No tree, per- haps, is more favored in this way than the cedar. Yet there appears to be great dan- ger in the practice, for there is in this an authenticated case where very painful results have followed the chewing of some cedar. A young lady living at the north end took a sprig of cedar in her mouth,and
