| ' ' | Tue Darty EXAMINER. MARCH 27, (882. mete? Debate on the Budget. We publish to-day the coneleding por- tion of the speech delivered by Hon. Mr. Sullivan, on moving the House of Assembly into Committee on Supply. Mr. Sullivan's budget speeches are always good, They are clear and to the point. Having nothing to hide, and a desirefrhat the public shali undersaand the exact state of the finances of the Province, Mr. Sallivan prepares his budget speeches with care, and says no more than should be said. The exhibit of the past year is, perhaps, the most satisfactory that has been made since we entered the Confederation. It is true, there is not now in the Treasury, as of yore, avery large amount of money; but there is a balance to the credit of the Province, which was placed there by thrift, prudence, and good management of Mr. Sullivan and his colleagues in the Govern- ment. The Assessment Act is, consequent: ly, not needed; and no direct taxation will be required for some years—if the Con- servative party should again be successful at the polls. The reply of the Leader of the Opposi- tion was short; but Mr. Yeo did not fail to score all the points which could fairly be scored against the financial position of the Government. The remarks of Messrs. Perry and Farquharson were neither so moderate in tone, nor so effective as those ef the Leader of the Oppositicn. The Hon. Mr. Ferguson's speech was one of his ablest efforts. It was, indeed, an exhaustive review of the financial history of the Province in recent years. Mr. Fer- guson spoke for about four hours, and held the attention of the House to the end The valuable statistics he adduced were at once a proof of the Hon. gentleman's in- dustry and skill, and of the strong claims the Guvernment have to credit for their good management under many diflicult circumstances. We bope to see this speech published in pamphlet form for the infor- mation of the public at large. Hor, Mr. Campte.l made an able defence of the Public Works Department, showing that he had received freely from the Gov- ernment all the money he required for the maintenance of roads, bridges and wharves, and that these works had, as a whole, been kept in good repair. Hs comparis«ns be- : tween the management of the D ‘partment | ».ent for the maintevance of certain peniteu under the Jate and the present Govern- ments must have been very odious—to the Opposition. In a short business speech Mr. Bentley dealt effectually with the finances of the Province ; sat Mr. McKay and others spoke forcibly and well. ©@ 4)2®@-2e 2." Fate of the Legislative Council Bill Tae Bill to abolish the Legislative Coun- cil has been again defeaied by that oody. It was lost on the following division :— FOR ABOLIT:0ON,. AGAINST ABOLITION, REID. Munn, BOLGER, McKenzie, KICKHAM, Laird, ANNEAR, Dodd. BURNS, Regers, Balderston. Mr. McMillan occupied the chair; and could not vote on the motion. Had the President been in the chair, the Bill would have passed, a8 Mr. McMillan is strongly in favor of the abolition of the Council. Bounty to Fishermen. Tus Ottawa correspondent of the Toronto Mail seys :—Mr. Macdonald, of King’s, Prince Edward Island, made « short speech which was very effective, especially in deal- ing with the opposition from the Eastern Provinces who, troubled about the bounty to fishermen, are profuse in their regrets that the Government has not done more forthem. Mr. Macdonald pointed ont that the principles of the Opposition would cause them to equalize the tariff, and compel them to give no more favors to the fisher- men than to other classes doing business on the great deep. Should the Opposition regain power they would at once repeal the laws admitting fishermen’s outfits for vessels free of duty, and would impose the same duty on them as on all other classes. This was the Opposition view of tariff ** equality.” Sister Larraxce, ex Superioress of the Convent de Notre Dame, V innipeg, died on the 220d mst. She was 67 years of age. Sister Lairance went to Winnipeg thirty-eight years ago with three other sisters to open the first convent ia the North-West. These early pioneers in the cause of religion per- formed te journey from Montreal in a birch bark canoe going by the Ottawa River, Georgian Bay, and Lake Snperior water stretches, to Winnipey in two months. She was Lady Supericr from 1861 to 1864. Latterly she has been an invalid. The ser. vices at the cobsequies in St. Boniface Cathedral were very imposing. Retire MILL ror Moxcrox.— We under- stand a practical gentleman has been corres- ponding with Moncton parties in regard to the feasibility of establishing a rolling mall in Moncton. Correspondence has been had in regard to the cost of a suitable plot of ground for the purpose, and it seems quite probable if the necessary cncouregement is held out the works will be established here. Moncton is looved upon ss a favorable place for the location of an enterprise of this nature, and we hope yet to be able to chronicle the ae of extensive works.—Mencton imes. ——— Ox the 23rd inst,, at Milton, Ont., the man Michael Kourke, charged with the murder of Rdward Maher, was found guilty, aad sea- tonced to be hanged on the 9th of June. Mr. N. Murphy, his counsel, has raised an ebjec- tion to the ieqality of the procedure, and the matter will argued befere the Ceurt of Common Pleas Division. Rourke, after his sentence, which he received stoidly, made anether confession, saying that he had com- mitted the murder, and was only sorry that the hanging did not take place right away. _D. T.

In respect to sume items of our claim, the Dominion Government treated us handsomely, and paid us as much if not more than we expected: but there are still some items, the claims for which are un- settled. He had, however, the assurance that the latter will be settled; if so, we shall receive aconsiderable sum on th t account However, he did not take that matter inte account in making a calcula ion of the amount of revenue which we shail receive durmg the present year.

With respect to the sum of $3,227 03, paid to Mr. Davies, hon. members are aware that al: amounts expended under the provisions of the Land Purctase Act, must be withdrawn from the fand proviied tor taat purpose, viz, the $3500 000 received from the Dominion Govern- ment for the purchase of the proprielory estates. The sums paid the propiletors for their lands, to the commissioners appointed to value the estates, to the counsel +m loyed by the Government, and to the clerks and wit nesses, were all drawn from that fund, and very properly -o. Thesum paid Mr. Davirs tor hi services was withdrawn from the sam: fand, in precisely the same way, in which Mr Davies partly paid bimseli. In this respect. the Owen Government, the late Goverument. and the prese t Government Interest Ob Th< Blnc been liave pursued precisely the same course, for it was the valy proper one for them to take. ‘There is therefore, no need to apologize for what the Government have done in this matter. The amount having bre: withdrawn from the Land Purchase fund at Ottawa, lessened our « apital, of course, just to that extent; and the intere.? will, consequently, be r¢ duced by about $ ile per year.

If the Government can judge of the receipts for the present year, by the amounts pard in up to the present time, they will receive a much larger sum from that source than they did last year, One hon. member bas asked that a ststement be laid on the Table of the House, showing the amount othice up to the present date, That statement has been tabled, and shows that $4,000 more buve been received than was paid in last year during the same period. Looking at this received at tha for the present year. fact, he thought the Government might lfairly assume that they will, this year receive from that source at least the amount which they have placed 35,000 A large number of new Katimates. aud many more will yet be opened, 4s many persons have not yet made arrange ments for the purchase of their farms. This Province has only three sources of revenue, viz : the Dominion subsidy, the Land Office, and fees aud penalties which may be classed year ; mi-cellaneous. From the latter source the Goverument expec $22,000 ; that is to ; ¥ a+ , «} 7 from the Ui unty Ceurts, Prothonotary 8 flice, Registry Ollice, &e., they expect to ceive that amount. ‘The total estimated venue for the year 1882 is, therefore, $252,- 25.60. This does not inciude an) thing frem vaid Assessments amounting to $22,004.97. , Assessment under the Assess- various years are as follows : 7, arrears $3969 ; 18738, $5851.28 ; 1879. 245.58; '8s0, $2471 06; 1981, $7517 02; sounting to $22 004 97.

Un. these circeumstanees, the Gevernmenst sher!d, at the clo-e of the year, have a smal! favor, of about $7,006 over irrespective of the sum ef balance in their and anove, and | $12,000 already to the credit of the Province. ’ . making a total of about $19 G00, or $26, 000. Ne did not say that euch would actually be the case, ag the statement was based on the estimate made of tho revenue for the year, bnt he wevld say that the revenue will at least meet the expenditure, and that the Gov- -rpment will have ample sum to meet the requir ments .f the Province, leaving un- touched the surplus forthe past year. That is what the Government expect to be the re- eult of their transactions for the year 1882 And he would now state openly and squarely that no Government in this Province would be justified in continuing to levy upon the people an assessment, the collection of which would eost eighteen per cent. before it reached the bank in which it would be deposited The Government, in pursuing their present course wust be doing that which is eminent y satis- tactoy to the people generally. If that course will nos satisfy the country, satisfy it. The Government had been handed down by their prede cessors, a huce bill of indebted ness, but had swept it all away, and have now 2 considerab!e balance to the cr dit of the Province. This will show the House and the vountry that they can so carry on_ public flaira as to make the ordinary receipts meet the ordinary expenditure for many years to come Ifthe receipts for the present year are sufficient to meet the expenditure, why would they not be sufficient to do the same vext year? The only chance of a reduction io the estimated receipts, will be in the sum to be received from the Land Uffice |The Government had looked very carefully into that matter, and they were aware that, for many years to come, there is no probability of eny yreat falling off in that source of rev eiue. Under these circumstances, it would be unwise to continue the assessment under the Assessment Act of 1877. This may be the last session in which the present Govern- ment may bave an oppertunity to Jay before che House the state of the Public Fivances, and he wonld take the opportunity to say that these finances were now in a mre satisfactory eondition than they bad been for many years past Under the late Government, of which the hon. Leader of the Opposition himself was a member, the revenue of tbe Province was much larger than at present, yet they went out ef power with a very large de licit. It now behooves the people to see that ne Govrnment of this Province sha!l here- after incur any unnecessary expenditure. If be Government measure for abolishing the Legisistive Council becomes the law of the ‘and, this year, or within a short pe-iod, there will be no occasion for the next ten years to impose a single cent of taxation of any kind upon the prople of this Province. ‘the Legislative Counce c: sts this country 25,000. or $7,000 per year, including the ex pense of elections, andif we had that sum te it would be a considerable ad- ition to our little surplus, and would be so much clear gain every year. He would con- clude his remarks by saying that he had endeavcured to make as clear a statement as pessible of the affairs of the Province as they at present stand, in the presence of the pecples representatives, ard before the country. The figures he bad given were ac- cessible to every hon. member of the House, and all could satisfy themselves of their cor- rectness He, hiinself, was satisfied that the pobhe finances are in such a healthy condi- tion as should satisfy the demands of every reasonable person, and that the country would approve of the manner in which the Govern- ment had conducted iis affairs during the past four years.
