Committees have been at work since the meeting of Wednes- day last The Directors have engaged to pay $75 000. There seems to be no doult that the Shareholders will pay the $100,000 required of them if only the depositors will all agree to let their money remain In th» Bink, without imterest—accepting pay ments in one, two and three years—th: Bank will be saved from ruin, and will ultimately pay its debts in a. oe, on the other hand, they refuse te accept this pro position, the Bank will go into liquidation, and it is not probable that they will realize more than about thirty centsin the dollar, and they may have to wait years for that suall per centage. To do so, will, of courve, involve in the meantime incos- venience and loss to many depositors. But they will hare the credit of seeing the Bank resune by their act, and they will hove the sa isfaction of saving hundreds of stockhulders from absolute poverty, and the whole community from loss. Dar ng the coming week, a committee of depositors intend canvassing the country with the view of obtaining the signatures of their fellows to an agreement on the basis of the proposition referred to. Dr Taylor and others will canvass this city ; C C. Gardiner and Mavrice Biake, Esquires, will canvass the country between Char- lottetown aad Summerside ; Capt. Richards will canvass the country west of Suramer side; Benjamin Heartz aud John McLean Esqrs , will canvass the eastern part of the Island; aud J. H. Fletcher, Esq.. will canvass Belfast, Murray Harbor, Montague and Cardigan Wehope to bear that these gentlemen have been quite successful in their mission 2. 4p ou, - Going too Far. Farm criticiam of the known acts of public officials is to be commended in a newspaper. A newspaper may be excused for censuring a pnblic official for acts which he did not do, provided there be reasonable grounds for supposing that the editor made an ‘honest mistake.” In the height of an election contest, when the excitement: is running high, a newspaper may even resort to nicknames without seriously offend ing the sevsibilities of a large majority of the public. But for the opprobrious epith ets with which the Hon. Mr. Ferguson is continually pursued by the Patriot, for the deworight lies deliberately and uninter ruptedly published to defame his charaeter as a politician, an official and a man, there is no excuse. and there can be no palliation. When, mor over, these opprobrious epithets and dowwuright lies, in the ordinary forms of language, fail to serve the devilish pur- pose of ruining a good man, and the sacred atyle and words of the Holy Scriptures are travestied to give them point and effect, every one must cry ‘‘shame.” We have no cause to expect much of decency from the Patriot. It is, indeed, the peculiarly appropriate organ of a Party which, while containing many respectable men, is, on the whole, mean, unprincipled and disreputable But we have aright to demand that it shall pay respeot to the lan- guage, if not to the teaching, of a Book, which, to a Christian people, is sacred. stsisililngpisleonenalintjoliatigititntasl The United States and Chili. Mr. Blaine’s dream of an Imperial Re- public has been broken. We are informed that the new Secretary, has given Mr. Feeseott, the United States’ special envoy, instructions not to make the dictatorial demands on Chili, which Mr. Blsine ordered. The Gov erament of the United States has thus virtually withdrawn from its untenable position. Mr. Blaine’s correspondence has been laid before Congress ; and the New York Herald contributes a racy review. Ii says the Cuoristiancy despatch ‘‘is one of the most remarkable in the collection. After describing the utter helplessness of Peru against the Chileans, the incapacity of the Peruvian p pulstion to form or maintanm a stable government, and the deep and absolute corruption of all classes, from the highest to the lowest, he proposes that the United States shal! assume a protectorate over Peru, with a view to annexation, Peru to be eventually admitted to the Union, but net until at least ten years have elapsed. It looks as though the more he read this Christiancy despatch, the more Mr. Blaine got off his balance. Visions of empire appear to have danced before his eyes. At any rate the attitude he assumed and maintained toward Chili, the language he allowed General Harbut at Lima not only to use toward the Chileans but in his despatches to the State Department, the’ deter- termination shown in the despatches to dictate to the belligerents not merely terms of peace, but every step they should take —ail this would be intelligible on the theory that Mr. Biaine had lost his head, and after General Garfield was disabled thought he could safely commit the United States to a policy of territorial expansion in Peru and a general Jingo policy in the Pacific. It must be said that if the Chilians had not conducted themselves with stateamanlike moderation Mr. Blaine would have suc- ceeded. But they appear to have seen that he had engaged them in the game of diplomacy in which it was their part to foil him, and they did that in a way which ought to secure their public men general admiration. ’ Seduction. Tae Ministers of the Presbyterian Church meet together often to talk over the affsira connected with their work. This is a laudable ctstom, and must he productive of much good. Ata recent meeting of the Presbytery attention was called to the growing prevalence of ‘* seduction” and the necessity of a change in the law relating to it. The woman, in a case of seduction, is usually punished tuflicint!y by being ban- ished in shame from society and by the suffering she must necessarily bear. But ihe man gets off with a fine. This seems to be hardly fair. To equalize the punishment somewhat, the man should be whipped and, expesed in the pillory. _ There is no doubt that the evil of #edue- tion is spreading ; ani s'ringent preventa- tive nivasurey should be tukvn.

Yet there have lived men, and, doubtless, ever will, so pure and so faultless, that the rest f mavkind seem but dross iv cemparison {; is certainly a matter of congratulation har, in our midat, there is one, whose ad- nirable training in youth and subsequent levelupment, have moulded a character werthy of our utmost respect.

Island met in St. James’ Hall on the Ist inat., and was constituted by Rev. K. McLennan, Mode- rator pre fempore, hesides Ww hom there wert preseut Rev. James Allen, Dr. Murray, J. M. McLeod, Wm. R. Frame, 8. C. Gunn, \ F. Carr, George McMillan, and Win A. Mason, and Rev. Donald McNeill, Ruling Elder et Prince Street Chureh. Read a cablegram from Rev. John Me Kinnon, at present in Edinburgh, in which ne tenders the resignation of his charge o! Georgetown, Cardigan and Montague. The Clerk was appuinted to preach in George- own at 11 o'clock, Cardigan at 3 o'clock, und at Montsgue Bridge at 7 o'clock on Sabbath, 12th inst., announce their pastor's resignation, and cite them to appear for their interests at a meeting of Presbytery to be held in Georgetown on the 21st inst., at 7 o'clock, p.m. It was also agreed that the Presbytery shall meet in Cardigan on he 22nd inst., at 11 o'clock, a. m., and at Moniague Bridge at 7 o’clock, p. m., for ‘he purpofe of considering what changes may be for the best interests of the congre- vation; Rev. Mr. Frame to preach at Georgetown, Rev. K. McLennan at Cardi- yan, and Dr. Murray at Montague Bridge Rev. Mr. Mazon, according to notice yiven at a previous meeting, called the at- tention of the Presbytery te the great pre valence of the crime of seduction, and urged the necessity of taking steps to have the Dominion law so amended on this ques tion, as to produce a salutary change in refercnce to this crime. On motion, Rev. Messrs. Mason, McKay and Archibald were appointed a committes to collect in- jformation and to devise means io produce a healthy public sentiment en this question and to effect the proposed legislauve am- encment. Rev. Kenneth McLennan, M. A., was | manimously nominated for the Moderator- ship of the next General Assembly and Rev. Dr. McKnight for that at the Synod is no one who does not admire it; but when it interferes with the convenience of virtue. Farther, when a great work is being done, like that in which ‘* R. B.C.” is engaged ; viz, to lift cut of the mir and purify our grovelling citizens, why not du it more openly? Perhaps his ob- ject is to lead us on, from step te step, until all is completed, and then reveal him- self. We cannot tell. Goce, “sh. BB C3” good work, and although it is painful some titves, ‘‘ to see ourselves as others see us,’ still, yen have this consclatien—that the pain inflicted is the prelude of secial health, and is as necessary as the improvement is urgent. Yours truly, GraTvs. Bank of P. E. Island. To the Edstor of the Examiner. Dear Sir,—l1 noticed a letter in your issue of the Ist inst., headed Bank of Prince Edward Island and signed ‘* Ni} Desperandum.” I Jooked for an answer to it in your issue of the 2nd inst., and fully expected that some ene would have made answer to a letter in which ther’ is more daring denunciation, assumption, ‘gnorance and abuse than in en: correspondence [| ever read in the columus of your paper. Without jadge or jury this fair ‘* Ni] Desperaudom ” makes a slashing sweep wit! his sword of a narrow, contracted imaviva- ‘ion, and would willingly sever the heads ifreom the defaulters of the Bank of Prince | Rdward Island Banking houses, like business men, reap their profits from business transactions. If these were always remunerative and vielded a handsome profit, we would all soon become rich, and Banking institutions would soon collapse; or, could we see into the future as clearly as we can see into the past, many cargoes of potatoes and other produce which left tue Island this fall, and fer which the farmers were paid very high prices, would to-day be lying i» their cellars and barns. and the money iustead of being jn circulation, would now be inthe Bank’s hands. With your permission, Mr. Editor, instead of going in‘o tall particulars, 1 will answer hime on his own footing, and allow, for argument sake the defaulters are alla ‘* pack of swindlers’ and ‘‘schemers that infest th: City” *‘robbers to be shunned aud despised.’ “unfit to associate with ’ ha tuat honest men,” our rascality called shrewdness,” ‘‘our villany termed sinartness,’ &e. &c.
