DORSEY & JOST. April 10, 1879 ~ar ne pat till Ist may In the United States there is unquestion- ably cause for alarm in connection with the colored emigration to the North-West. - Such emigration, made after due preparation and with money in the hands of the emigrants, or their friends, might perhaps be ultimately ad vantageous to many of them. But the hap hazard and hurried manner of its beginninz gives few promises of good and many assur- ances of evil. Considerable money is _ being raised in Washington and in the North for the guidance and relief of the emigrants, and mucl: suffering will perhaps be prevented; but all well disp»sed mea should unite t» check the rash of emigrants until plans are matured to them. Ar the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court this forenoon, James McIntyre ers on a charge of picking pockets. Officer McGregor alleged he had information on Saturday night that a person was picking pockets on Grafton Street. He went into Mr. Knight's gang. way to watch.

McIntyre said he had snatched the handkerchief from a girl whom he knew. ‘The officer searched the prisoner and found on hiw four haudkerchiefs, which Mclutyre said were hisown. A young lady named Callaghan alleged that Melntyre hid picked a handkerchief from her pocket at DesBrisay’s corner. He was remanded for & days.

BS We do not hold ourselves 1 2sponsihle for the staements or opinions of our correspondents, Letter from C. A. Hyndman, Hsq. Vo the Editor of the Examiner. Sir,—I have not attended any of the meetings in favor of the Scott Act; hut in reading over the speeches made at the Market Hall, on Wednesday, the 17th inst., the Rev. Mr. Hodgson is reported to have said :--- ‘‘The law made provision that no liquors were to be sold on the Lord’s Day ; but it aad failed to a great extent there. Were there not also stores with a back office where they sold liquors by retail? and even on days when taverns are closed, could not intoxicating drinks be procured at some of the Breweries ?” Now, Mr. Editor, there are but two Breweries at work in this Island, and being part owner and manager of one of them (the Brighton Brewery), taking my authority from the Dominion of Canada, out of fair ness to myself 1 am beund to state that the insinuation made by the Rev. Mr. Hodgson is utterly false as far as ny establishment is concerned. I make this statement, not that I fear the passing of the Scott Act, but rather to rebut an insinuation which, if allowed to go uncontradicted, might do me far more injury. Yours, &c., C. A Hynpman.
