The attention THE CHIEF JUSTICESHIP. Tue Putriot of the 3d is only half hearted in its defence of the Chief Justice ship. In its seolding article, there is a conspicuous absence of argument, or any~ thing like an attempt to answer the arti cle which it endeavors to review. It is but fair to say that we thin} ce is a poor His defe h¢ npointment e sought te ei the editor 1as done his best. ou But t! justify was of such a wature, that bis read- ers could not have looked foi much and l sappol ed. vot fea that dud hey have not been The Put beters will a cited or his self-love te be wounded ”’ by Lies low uis jealousy to be ex inything the press may say recarding him. He understands his position, and appre- ciates the indignity which the Domin- ion Government have cast upon him so well that there is no necessity for the Minister of the Interior—or his satellites | —to further explain it to him. The} EXAMINER never attempted an at- tack on his “ jealousy ’’ or on his “ self- | love’’ The Patriot will find that its clumsy attempts to do so will be, even for | him, more than ordinarily unsuccessful. | - The Patriot asks, ‘ Did the first Lib- | eral Government of 1852 intend to cast a/ of citizens has been called to it. It has} pogoction upon Judge Peters’ ability and been seriously discussed.

The more a sensible, intelligent man they did not—and tor this reason, The reflects and talks about the introduction | of pure water into Charlottetown, the more clearly be becomes convinced that it is esscatially necessary to the health and gtowth of the city. There has been much reflection and much talk about the matter lately; and therefore, we are not surprised that there are now among us few such ultra-anti-watermen as Mr. John P. Tanton. But there are many—we be- lieve a majority—who think that measures should be taken to supply the city with pure water without delay. The wnwhole- some facts adduced by Mr. Archibald McNeill, at the meeting last Monday evening, startled not a few into an ad- vance thus far. Elder may have had seme weight with those who read the St. John Telegrinph. Mr. Elder not long ago visited Charlotte- town. He could not, of course, e: neticing our “horrid water.”” He writes: ‘When itis stated that there are wells, ‘ape the water of which is drunk by the people, while yet there is no sewerage, much food for thought is supplied, especially if one thinks of the friable nature of the soil. | It is most disagreeable to pursue the sub- ject or to indicate the self-evident fact that the sewage of the city goes into the wells, @ circumstance further attested bythe alarin- ing number of cases of typhoid fever, which has occurred in various blocks in the town; and ifan epidemic should break out who can tell what the result would be? Those who know how it was with those parts of the city and suburbs of St. John, which required sewerage and water when the cholera struck them, may be able to answer the question. Al any necessary cost Charlottetown si have a liberal supply of ¢ wale d through the cily. a tnied by a complete system of draina In this city we have to cut through the rocks in order to make our sewers and lay our water pipes. ¥ } > lottetown the soil is perfectly friable, an the cost would be but trifling. Neither St Jobn nor Charlottetown can dispense with sewerage or water works, no matter what the cost may be.” i The “necessary cost ’ will undoubt: i. | ly be great. The practical Civil Engiocer | who introduced water into St. John and | Halifax, and whose plans, surveys, and | report are now in possession of the city, | estimated itat $100,000. Council- lor Fletcher estimates it at $500,000 | —ineluding sewerage—which is also ne- cesssary. But whatever the cost may be, there will undoubtedly be much saved. | There will certainly te a large reduc. | tion in the rates of insurance; and there | will be saved the heavy tax now paid for getting water by the bucketful. Then, the | property which may some time be preserv- ed by a plentiful supply of water at com-| mand in time of fire, cannot be estimated. | If we subtract the money directly and indi- | rectly saved by the possession of a plenti- ful supply of pure water from the cost of | its introduction, the balance will, we be-| lieve, be comparatively small. In this | belief we are not singular. of the city at the present time we judge that the City | From the “ public opinion Council will be justified in taking measures to intreduce pure water without delay. | For the citizens a plentiful supply is| needed (1.) Because the pump water of the city is not fit for the use of human beings— vide Professor Dana Hayes’ Report. (2.) Because it will check the ravages ot slow fever which is now prevalent in| al] parts of the city. (3) Because we want sewers, and sewers are no good without water. (4,} Because the fact of 10,000 people being supplied by two carters, who hauk it round to whom they please by the | bucketful, is too ridiculous and too dis--| graceful to be permitted much longer. (5.) Because it will be of inestimabie use in time of fire. (6.) Because the rates of insurance | will on its introduction be lowered. | (7.) Because no city of the size, pre-| tensions and prospects of Charlottetown | should be without a plentiful supply of | water running through it. We believe the City Council will be | borne out in their action by a majority of | our citizens, if it operations for the obtainment of pur water without further unnecessary delay. He ie lit dicen “Tue Park Buw.”’—The Pa/riot has, prac- tibally, “caved in”’ the Park Bill Question. it does not attempt to prove that Government Farm was public property, or that Government previous or that it ever could be placed under its control except by Act of Parliament. Therefore, the /ulricl tacitly admits the correctness of our conclusion, that the Dominion Cabinet has no power to give Government House and Farm to the Local | Government and Legislature. The [at | rio€s childish contention that—presuming Government House Farm to be literally private property—Parliament had no right to legislate it into the possession of the city, is almost unworthy of remark. It is an extraordinary instance of mental blind- ness on the part of the editor of a news- paper.

The recklessness of his attacks upon Judge Peters were only equalled by their untruthfulness. Our readers will find that however convenient it may be for the Chief Justice to employ some unknown individual, some penny-a-liner, to make the denial for him, his statements have been too recent, and his language too bitterly vindictive, to enable him, if he should deny it, to urge, as an excuse, his favorite plea of “a bad memory” to, shield him from a far graver accusation. _—- - MISMANAGEMENT IN THE EAST. Tue Halifax Reporter, in an article commenting on the general mismanage- ment of the Dominion Government in these Maritime Provinces, thus adverts to the recent appointment of Judge Pal- mer to the Chief Justiceship of this Is- land :— ‘** Take another instance of the new style of doing things. We don't mean the keep- ing open the Collectorship of Halifax now for months; though that is a deep disgrace. There is stilla deeper.

Here is one— inserted as a foot note to page 230 :— In a debate in the House of Assembly on a grant of money for the importation of horses for the Province, several members ex presssed their opinion as to the most suitable breed. Jobu Young, ,;Author of Agricoja,” was in favor of horses for farming purposes, of which he was considered a good judge James B. Uniacke was in favor of importing horses, half breed, and in his remarks spoke sarcastically about the kind of horses kept by Mr. Young, who lived at Willow Park and which were ocsasionaily employed in driving agricultural produce to market. Mr Uniacke was an eloquent speaker, graceful in manner and appearance, and by his ready wit anda sly allusion to Mr. Young’s cabs bages, turned the laugh of the House against that gentleman. Mrs. Uniacke was a lady possessed of a very large fortune atthe time of her marriage, but happened, like many of the very best of her sex, not to be remarkab): for her beauty. Mr Young who had sat dreamingly listening to Mr. Uniacke, by-and- by rose to reply, and with a complacent smile beaming on his countenance, said: “We in Scotland, Mr. Speaker, select our horses upon the same principle that some gentlemen select their wives—not for their beauty but for their sterling worth.” All eyes were immediately on Mr. Uniacke, and there followed a universal burst of laughter We regret that the space at our com- mand will not admit of a lengthy review of the work.

(Cheers.) Although the high position to which he was born may have facilitated his | entrance into public life, he was one of those men who, under any circumstances and in any lot, would have become memorable. (Hear. hear.) His fiery eloquence, was at his best. his haughty courage, the rapidity of his intel- lectual grasp — which probably never was surpassed ; his capacity for labour and mass tery of detail—which never were sufficient. ly appreciated, because th: world was aston ished by the celerity with which he des patched public affairs—all these combined to produce a man who must have become celebrated, [Chers.] His statue looks upon that famous Parliament in both houses of which his public life was about equally spent Amid all the transactions of thirty years he was one of those who took a leading part in those Assemblies; but from out the affairs of this Empire during that period there are three measures which figure in collossal pro-~ portions, and which were the result of his own individual energy and creation. Ile abolished slavery (cheers) he educated Lre-~ iand (cheers) and he reformed Parliament (Cheers.) Forty years ago, when the first measure was brought forward with that obs ject it would have failed had it not been for his daring determination ; and only within recent years as Prime Minister of England: he carried that great Act which supplied the deficiencies and repaired the injustice of its predecessor, because it restored to the working classes of this country those frans chises which in 1832 they were deprived of. (Cheers.) The sculptor who has raised this statue equal to the occasion, has in the beautiful bronzes which relieve the other pedestal, commemorated other events in the life of Lord Derby besides those which he passed in the Senate and the Council Chams ber. He has depicted him as the learned Chancellor of a renowned University, and as the genial President of that Committee of Charity and Patriotism which, in an unpre< cedented crisis in the industry of England, mitigated the sufferings of the population of that great country where he was born, where his ashes repose, and which he loved }sewell.

Then a plaster made of chloride of zinc, blood root, and wheat flour was spread on a piece of muslin the size of this circular opening, and applied to the cancer for twenty-four hours. On remov- ing it the cancer was found to have been burnt into, and appeared of the color and hardness of an old shoessole , and the circular rim outside of it appeared white and parboiled as if scalded by steam. The wound was now dressed, and the outside rim soon suppurated, and the cancer came out a hard lump, and the place healed up. The plaster killed the cancer, so that it sloughed out like dead flesh, and never grows again.

Cure ror Hypaornosia.—A German for- est-keeper, 62 years of age, not wishing to carry to the grave with him an important secret, has published in the Leipsig Journal a recipe he has used for fifty years, and which, he says has saved several men and a great number of animals from a horrible death by hydrophobia. The bite must be bathed as soon as possible with warm vine- gar and water,and when this has dried, a few drops of muriatic acid poured upon the wound will destroy the poison of the saliva, and relieve the patiept from all present or future danger.

Since 1868, inclusive, the total revenue has been over ten million less ($10‘132,914;) and the expenditure was nearly a million less ($9,204,822) than the receipts, the balance lying at the credit of the Province in banks. The public lands amount to more than 106,- 000,000 acres ; in 1856 the quantity was of- ficially stated at 200,000 acres, of which 600,- 000 have been expiored and are ready for colonization ; 100,000,000 are unexplored, but nearly half of this quantity is covered with timber licenses. ‘his latter fact is one of great importance, though we doubt if it be one on which to congratulate the Province. The 50 000,000 of acres under lis cense naturally includes the most accessable lands and those which lie where, owing to climate conditions, the timber is likely to be the best. It is probable that at least four- sixths, perhaps as greata proportion as fives sixths, of all the pinesgrowing territory of the Province of Quebec is under license, and is being denuded of its timber. How long will the supply lastat the rate the timber is bined the passion of politics with all the | tenderness of domestic life._ [lear hear.] | We have raised this statue to him, mot only asa memorial, but as an example—not merely to commemorate, but to inspire, ' (Great cheering. } now being taken out? It is very desirable that some statistics showing approximately the rate at which our forests are being des , nuded of their merchantable timber should be obtained.

Nine Comanche Indians have been killed by American soldiers in an encounter with them. | Prince Bismarck, whose health has great- ly improved, will leave Kissingen in a forts night. Le Temps says that two million dollars, being proceeds of the new Carlist loan, were | forwarded to Spain. The Montreal Corn Exchange has voted | down the proposition to make all the sales | of produce ready money transactions. A Paris special says that serious compli- cations have arisen between Germany and France concerning Spanish affairs. Jay Cooke’s place at Put-insBay, now in the hands of the receivers, is appraised at $50,000. Mr. Cook paid $300 for the island. An oil well lately struck in the North- West Territories is reported to be now pumping at the rate of a hundred barrels a day. Lately a builder of South Kensington was fined £20 and costs, for having caused a giandered horse to be ied through the streets. The American game of base ball is at- tracting a great deal of attention in London, At a recent game 5,000 spectators were present. The house at Arqua, near Padua, where Petrarch died on the 18th July 1374, has been restored, in memory of the fifth cens tenary of his death. Ina recent fight between the United States troops and the Indians, in Wyoming Territory forty of the latter were killed and one hundred wounded, The portion of the Grand Trunk Railway still broad gauge is to be changed so as to correspond with the rest of the line, on the 20th September next. The British steamer Corinth, from New York, July 16, for Liverpool, is a total wreck off Galley Head, Ireland; all hands saved. The Corinth was a small freighting steamer of 959 tons, . It seems highly probable that the naval powers of Europe will shortly follow the ex- ample of Germany in sending squadrons to the coast of Spain, ready for intervention when necessary. The Spanish delegates to the Internation. al Congress are instructed from Madrid not to participate in the deliberations because the Government is yet unrecognized by Eu- ropean powers. The Benchers of Gray’s Inn have decided to deprive Dr. Kennealy, counsel for the Tichborne claimfent, of his Benchership, on account of his recent publication, and to ex~ pel him from the bar if these publications are continued, The Paris Le Temps says that Germany and England have arrived at a complete under- standing on the Spanish question, and here~ | after no complaint can be made if British | ships conveying contraband of war to the | Carlists are seized. | One of Disraeli’s admirers, in speaking about him to John Bright, said: “You ought to give him credit for what he has ac- complished, as he is aselfsmade man.”’ ‘‘I know he is,” retorted Mr. Bright, ‘‘and he adores his maker.” The report that England, Germany and Italy have agreed to watch the Spanish coast is denied. Germany has not proposed intervention to Austria, but the latter is ready to join the other powers in acknow, | ledgement of the Spanish Republic. It is reported from Berlin that the Roman Catholic Bishops have forwarded to the Go-~ vernment a protest, declaring that they can- not submit to the one-sided laws, and claiming that all legislative power on mats ters concerning the Church belongs to the Pope alone. The two American base ball clubs now on a tour in England, played their first public match at Liverpool yesterday. The exhi- bition will not come upon the English pub | lic as a novelty, as every schoolboy is fami- liar with the game under the name of *‘rounders.”’ ‘William,’ said one Quaker to another, ‘thee knows | never call anybody names; William, if the Governor of the State should come to me and say; ‘Joshua, I want thee to find me the biggest liar in the State of New York,’ | would come to thee and say, ‘William, the Governor wants to see thee very particularly.’ The difficulty with domestic servants threatens to become as great in England as itis here. A mother of a family writes to the Spectator to say that she recived only two replies in answer to an advertisement for a sewing maid, though she offered trom £18 to £20, and they were both from un- suitable persons, A Lexington, Kentucky, despatch of the 20th says:—All the prominent breeders of shorthorns in the United States and the Canadas are in attendance, or on their way to attend, the great series of Kentucky sales which will occur during the next ten days, at which over 750 head of this great race of cattle will be sold at public auction. The Quebec Government recently swap- ped a piece of property in Montreal, worth over $200,000, for a farm in the suburbs which cost the swapper less than $20,000 a short time before the transaction. Some people appear to think there was fraud or stupidity on the part of the Government. People are so unreasonably suspicious of public men! [St. John Tribune, The London Hornct relates the following bon mot of the Princess M. She had just arrived at one of her country seats, and the clergyman, to honor the event, on the first Sunday after her arrival préached a cruelly long sermon. In spite of the best of will, the princess fell halfsasleep. When she roused herself she still heard the sermon going on; then stooping towards her hus- band, she asked; “Is it still Sunday or Sunday week ?”’ Gambetta recently made a speech in the French Assembly complaining that that body, while assuming constituent, powers, had resisted every attempt to establish a recognized form of Government. He fayor-~ ed the Republic, argued against prorogation and urged the raising of the state of seige. A motion to declare the state of seige as no longer in force was made and lost. The Government being interpellated declared that it would use every means to make its powers respected. A motion to adjourn to the 30th November was then put and car ried by a large majority. A Georgian negro was ridinga mule, and when he came toa bridge the mule stop. ped, ‘I'll bet you a quarter,’ said Sambo, ‘Vil make you go over dis bridge,’ and with that struck the mule over the head, which made him bob suddenly. ‘You take de bet den?’ said the negro; who contrived to get the mule over the bridge. ‘1 won dat quarter, any how,’ cried Sambo. ‘But how will you get the money ?’ asked a man who had been close by unperceived. ‘‘Tosmor- row,’ replied Sambo, ‘massa gib me a dollar to get corn for de mule, and I take the quarter out.’ How the farmers of Wright County, lowa, drove away the Grasshoppers is revealed by the loca] papers. The crops in that county were abundant and the anxious husbands men were in hopes that these destructive pests would notappear till after the harvest. At once they came, however, in clouds that darkened the sun. By a preconcerted plan, the farmers set fire to piles of dry straw on the borders of the wheat fields and smoths ered the blaze with green hay. That caused volumes of smoke to roll over the fields, The grasshoppers didn’t relish the proced- ureatall. They rose witha multitudinous hum of wings as to deepen into a roar like distant thunder, and fled the country. In that way the Wright County farmers have a fair prospect of saving their crops. A continenta! banker, in a letter to the London Times, gives an account of a new confederacy of forgers who are already known to have succeeded in obtaining sev- eral thousand pounds from bankers on the Continent. ‘The operations of the forgers appear to have been conducted by a gang travelling separately,and working by means of very perfect imitations of letters of cred- it of Baring Brothers & Co., of London, The forged documents were presented al< most simultaneously in several cities and towns on the Rhine and in the south of France. The watermarks have been so well imitated that many of the most experienc. ed cashiers, who cashed the forged docu- ments, believe that the paper, at all events, on which the forgeries were drawn must the information ?—Zoronto Nation, NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
