Thursday, April 27, (Continued.) LAND ASSESSMENT. fA bill releting to the recovery of as- sessment imposed upon land was read the second time, and on moving that it be referred to committee— Hon. Mr. Strong said the object of the bill was simply for the purpose of recover- ing the assessment imposed upon land. It had been rendered necessary on account of the failure of the County Courts’ Bill. The former law required that parties who failed in paying should be summoned be- fore the commissioners for the recovery of small debts. This bill was to enable the assessment to be recovered in the County Courts. The bill was passed without amend. ment. VICTORIA BORING AND MINING CoMPANY. A bill to ineorporate Victoria Boring and Mining Company was read the second time, and on moving that it be referred to committee— Hon.Mr. Strong said it was well known that Dr. Dawson’s opinion was, that there was coal under the whole of this Island; and Mr. Young said it was near the sur- face. It was also known that the Goy- ernment had been induced to grant a sum of money to test the correctness of the latter gentleman’s opinion. He (Mr. Strong) had seen his (Mr. Young’s) bor- ing operations, and must say he had prov- ed himself to be a bore. He went down some distance with the spade and pick, and then betook himself to Montreal where he reported himself as the agent of the Government; but it was found by tele- graph that the machioery he ordered would cost over $10,000, and the Govern- ment declined to back him up. He did not know what the Company intended to do, but presumed there would be no ob- jection to passing the Bill The bill was passed without amend- ment. ACADIA PROVIDENT ASSOCIATION. A bill to incorporate Acadia Provident Association was read the second time, and on moving that it be referred to com- mitttee— Hon. Mr. Strong said it was matter for congratula*ion that such institutions were springing up in the country. There was a time when insurance of all kinds had to be effected in Companies off the Island, but now there was sufficient capita) amongst ourselves to form such cempanies No one could question the propriety of a company of this kind when established on a good sound basis. It was a private bill and their fees—$30—had been paid in the House of Assembly. Hon. the President said he would sup- port the bill with pleasure. It wasa good sign of the Province when companies could be found to take such risks. It was well to keep the money paid for in- surance on the Island, instead of paying it to foreign companies. The bill was passed without amend- ment. Adjourned. Friday, April 28. A bill to amend an act to regulate the sale by license of spirituous liquors was read the third time and passed. PUBLIC SERVICE, A bill relating to several departments of the public service was read a second time, and on moving that it be referred to committee, Hon. Mr. Strong said there was po doubt but their honors were acquainted with the a'terations proposed to be made in several departments of the public ser- vice, and, therefore, a lengthy explanation was unnecessary. It was proposed to unite the Offices of provincial Secretary and Treasurer, so that the same indi- vidual would exercise jurisdiction over both. He was to have a larger salary than had heretofore been paid to either of those officers, and he was to have a de- puty, or assistant Provincial Secretary. It was also proposed to do away with the Board of Works. That Board had not given entire satisfaction. The members of the Board had considerable power, and would naturally look after their own dis- tricts; and many were of opinion that equal justice had not been done to all parts of the Island. No doubt they were placed in trying positions, and those who did not press their claims were pro- bably overlooked. Any injustice which might have been done did not arise from unfaithfulness but from the cir- cumstances in which they were pla- ced exposing them to temptation. It was proposed to have a Commissioner, or Minister of Public Works, who is to have a seat in the Legislature, and be re- sponsible to the House. He would have an Assistant or Secretary, who would do the work as at present. Provision was also made for an Auditor of Public Ac- counts, wherever money was received or paid by the Government. It was true that the accounts were always audited,but the system was merely a check upon the figures, comparing the vouchers, dc. Providing he were the right man in the right place, he would be one of the most important officers in the public service. Ile would be required, at any time to go into a public office, examine the accounts, and report to the Government. He would also be required to prepare a statement for the Legislature. There were also certain provisions with respect to the office of Registrar of Deeds. The bill was te go into operation on the first of July. The salaries, especially of heads of departments, had been increased. It must be admitted that public officers had not been sufficient- ly paid. Since Confederation there was such a contrast between the salaries paid Dominion aud Loeal officials that our pub- lie officers had become dissatisfied. A sal- ary which was sufficient some years ago was not sufficient now, for the cost of liv- ing had increased fully 50 per cent. The difference, in the aggregate, takiog the land office into account, would amount to about $2,000. He did thiuk the appoint- ment of a competent auditor weed be the means of several thousands of dollars to the country in the course of the year. He did not, therefore, look upon the bill “3 putting the country to additional ex- pense. It might be said that some were overpaid and others underpaid, but that was matter of opinion. A gentleman as- suming the responsibility of the head of a department, and expected to have a cons stituency, required to be paid a fliberal salary. There was an officer, however, Whose salary, he thought was not increas- ed as much as it should be. He had a large amount of work to perform, and the light might be seen in his office between | . i nine and ten o’clock at night. He re ferred to the Secretary of the Board ot | Works. | Hon. Mr. Laird observed that the sys- tem of Departmental Government was al- most gone. The bill only provided for the heads of two departments in the Execative Departmestal Government was of Responsible Govern- ment, and it was the duty of the Legisla- ture to carry it out in its integrity. In— stead of being called a Civil Service Res form Bull, it was a Bill of retrograde na- iture. He believed one man was sufficient for a figurehead for two offices, and so far the bill was a Reform; but the head of a | department, receiving a fair salary, should be expected to perform a certain amount of Government work. He thought the appointment of a Commissioner of Publie Works would be a little improvement upon the present system. The Leader of the Government was chairman of the Board lof Works, and did a large amount of work for the £20 which he received. Was it to be expected that any sane man would accept the position of Leader of the Gov- ernment, with the General supervision of all the public affairs of the provinee,which must oceupy nearly the whole of the time, for £20 a year? Was it any wonder that the public institutionf of this Province were neglected ? To show they were neg- lected, he need only refer to the Lunatic Asylum, Queen’s County Jail, and public Schools. A Commissioner of Public Works having a seat in the Government, was a sound principle. He would be ina position to give information to the Gov- ernment and Legislature, and would per- form a share of the duties of the Execu- tive Council. The general roads of the country should be all under his supervi- sion, but the Government had kept the Legislature so long waiting for business that there was no time now to amend the Bill in that respeet. His honor said the members of the Board of Works were ex- posed to temptation, aad he almost admit- ted that they had fallen, but there was no clause to abolish the Board. He supposed that was a tender point. There was no modesty displayed in abolishing the office of Road Correspondent. The department- al system was the only efficient system by which to carry on the public works and institutions of the country, but the Bill only made provisious for two department- al officers. The Leader of the Government in this House should be at the head ofa de- partment, and then, when asked, for infor- mation,he would not have to say,as he had repeatedly done this season that “ he could not tell; he lived in the country.” Xe. He would then be acquainted with the general business of the country, and be able to give an intelligent answer when asked a question, without having to rely upon the word of certain offieials,by whom he feared he was sometimes led astray. He believed he was in a position to prove that such had been the case this session. He was not imputing motives to his honor, but this arose from the way he had been treated by the Government. He [Mr. Strong] was obliged to attend to his own business, and when he came here to perform his duties as Leader of the Government in the House, he was at the mercy of designing officials. As to the Auditor General ; if the Government could find a man to perform this duty faithfully for the amount of salary allow- ed, it would be money well expended ; but if he did all the work assigned him, and not break down before twelve months he must be more than mortal. With re- gard to the office of Solicitor General, it was generally understood to be a sinecure. He observed with regret that the Attorney General was to be a mere tool or servant of the Administration. He might be in the Legislature or not ; ia the Government or not. He might be a third, or fourth, or fifth rate barrister. This was a serious mistake. The Attorney General occupied one of the most important positions in the Province. When a vacancy ocourred upon the Bench he was eligible to a Judgeship. With regard to salaries, his honor admitted that they were raised $2,- 000 in the aggregate. There was depression in trade, and labor was becoming cheaper every day. Men who had been receiving $1,500 a year, could now be procured-for $1,000, or $1,200, When this was the case it was strange that the Government should increase the salaries of their oficers. Judging from the public ac- counts, he thought the Government would require to practice the most rigid econ- omy in order to keep the expenditure within bounds. To see them adopt this means, just when they should be taking the opposite course, showed that the Gov- ernment were either ignorant or negligent or were not qualified to grapple with the affairs of the country. Hon. Mr. McGill agreed with the ‘itle of the bill, and that was all. He would vote against itin its present shape. He had heard of bills emanating from the Lunatic Asylum, and surely that must have been the birthplace of the bill. It could not have emanated trom an intellig~ ent Government. He had heard of hodge podge legislation, and this was a specimen of it. His honor the Leader of the Gov~ ernment had thrown a grave imputation upon the Board of Works, and it was well merited. He considered the amalgama. tion of the two offices of Provincial Secre- tary and Treasurer should be Financial Secretary, and all money should be paid tohim. It would be some advantage to have an auditor of public accounts, if a properly qualified man could be obtained. The present system of auditing the ac- counts was a mere sham. He observed that there was an increase in the expense of the Registry Office of $300 or $350. but the men who did the work received little or no increase of salary. They had heard of a bill that was to be sent to the Centennial Exhibition, and he thought this one should accompany it. If there would be a department for the exbibition of tolly, nothing more suitable could be found. Hon. Mr.Strong thought his honor who spoke last had very signally failed in bring- ing forward any argument to show that the bill was not what it should be. His honor the Leader of the Opposition also considered the additional expenditure of $2,000 very imprudent, and yet admitted that the Leader of the Government did an immense amount of work for £20. By inference he conveyed the idea that he should have $1,500 or $1,600 for his ser- vices. Withreference to every member of the government being acquainted with all the details of every public office, and able to give official answers to all ques- tions proposed, did his honor ever hear of such a Government ? There was a dif- ference between the Leader of the Gov- ernment in this House and the real Leader of the Government. The latter could give answers to all his honor’s questions, and not second hand, There could not be two official leaders. Every Government had members without portfolios. We were limited in men capable of performing the duties of public officers, and when the “ Purification’”’ bill was before the House it was said we were narrowing too closely. Men might be qualified to perform the duties of certain officers who could not get constituencies, A politician might be good at a stump speech, and not qualified for the duties of the Land office, and a man might be qualified for the duties of that office and yet be a poor statesman. His honor said it was imprudent to raise salaries of officials, but it had been cast up to sue- cessive Governments that men were em- ployed and not half paid, and how could they be expected to be honest when they had to draw upon their private resources to live? He said everything was coming down, but when was the price of living Council. part and parcel Were | coming down in Charlottetown ? vents or taxes coming down ?— It was an | admitted fact that many of the officials | were not paid as they should be, and was | the day never to come when this would be remedied ? Members of the Opposition | had been loud in outery against the Gov. ernment for not paying officials better. | As to abolishing the office of Solicitor General it would be no saving to the country. The present Solicitor General | was anxious to have the office abolished. | The fees for extra work would amount to | agai: more than the salary would be if the office were retained. Besides the Attorney gen- eral and Solicitor General,the Government had sometimes to employ professional men. The Attorney General was an overworked man. His correspondence with magis- trates and others was very voluminious. The fees of the Solicitor General, at the rate charged by professional men would be double what the Government were pay~ ing him. He would like to put his honor the Leader ot the Opposition to the test as to what particular question he asked, and his (Mr. Strong’s) reply was contrary to facts. There might be a little devia- tion, but in the main his answers were ac- cording to facts, and he would like to hear in what way he had been a tool of the Government. His honor had not been very courteous in his charges, and some explanation of those charges was due to him (Mr. Strong.) House in Committee—Hon. Mr. Muan in the chair, Ilion. Mr. Laird said, that as he had not the privilege of replying to his honor the Leader of the Government while the President ws in the chair,he would mere- ly say now that after due notice he had asked the Leader of the Government if } he would lay upon the table the corres spondence between the Minister of Juss tice and the Attorney General respecting the extension of criminal law to this Is land. On the 12th ot April, his honor laid the correspondence upon the table, and he (Mr. Laird) observing that it was dated 1874, asked if there was no later correspondence. His honor the Leader of the Government replied that there was not. Subsequently he learned from mem- bers of the Dominion Parliament who had returned, to the Island, that the Attorney General, on behalf of the Government, had asked for further time to consider the matter. Was it pos- sible that this application for further time could have been made after the 12th of April, instant, and that information be brought back the to Island by members who had returned from Ottawa? Hon, Mr. Strong said the Attorney General had told him (Mr. Strong) that there was no other correspondence. It he (Atty. Gen) were present in this House, and his honor the Leader of the Opposi- tion were to ask him the same question, he would receive the same answer. His honor’s argument, therefore fell to the ground, Hon. Mr. Laird said that, of course his honor did not guarantee the correctness of the Attorney General's statement; but looking at the dates and considering the circumstances of the case, his honor must admit that he [Mr. L.] had reason to suspect that the whole correspondence was not produced, He was not yet satistied and would not he without further information. If his honor wished to satisfy the House, let him produce the other correspondence and show that the dates were subsequent to the time when the papers were laid upon the table. If he would do so he (Mr. L.) would apologise for what he said. Hon. Mr Strong repeated that the whole of the correspondeace was produced up to the time referred to. Who was to be believed ; his honor who said there was other corre- spondence, or the Attorney General who said there was not ? Did his honor want him or the Attorney General to manufacture cor- respondence? : Hon. the President was satisfied that abolishing the Board of Works would be satisfactory to the country. No institution was so much complained of. Undue favorit- ism had been shown, and, no doubt, it arose from the composition of the Board. Those parts of the country which did not return members to support the Government were neglected. He hoped taere would be some improvement, but did not think there would be much saving to the country. They had been led to believe that great reforms were to be introduced, but he failed to see that this bill would have that effect. He did not see that blending the two offices of Pro- vincial Secretary and Treasurer would be any improvement. Men well qualified to fill public offices could be found who could not obtain constituencies, and by confining the selection to members of the Legislature, incapable men might have to be appointed Hon. Mr. Dodd said that if the Board of Works had not given satisfaction it was not the fault of their Secretary. When he (Mr. Dodd) heard the title of the bill he thought it was to effect a saving to the country, but found there was to be increased expenditure forg salaries. Ne did not find fault with the increase but with the manner in which it was made. The salaries of heads of de- partments were increased, while those who did the work were cverlooked. Many hard working officials had scarcely enough to live upon. When a man had not enough to live upon, the temptation to appropriate money to his own use which did not belong to him was very great. The Board of Works expended a large proportion of the revenue in a very unsatisfactory manner, and he was glad the institution was to be abolished. Hon. Mr. Walker did not find fault with the increase of salaries. A man who had sufficient salary was not likely to take what did not beloug to him. In the United States the salaries of officials had been re- duced, and the consequence was that there were defalcations almost every day. He was in favor of the bill, but thought the preamble was a@ misnomer. It said the object was to promote economy, but there was to be increased expenditure. It wasa new kind of economy. Hon. Mr. Balderston said the word economy, in the preamble did appear in- compatible but still it might be proper, for though there was to be increased expendi- ture the money might be saved in other ways. His honor the Leader of the Govern- ment admitted that there wasa good dea) of mismanagement in public offices, if not dishonesty. He was surprised to hear that it would be more expensive to abolish the office of Solicitor General. Did the present Solicitor General pxpect to be paid « larger amount forthe work, and did the Govern ment listen to his dictation when they agreed to abolish the oflice ?_ He did not object to giving the Government power to appoint men outside of the Legislature to certain public offices. No doubt members of the Legislature would be appointed if they were qualified, andif not the Government should have the privilege of appointing others. Per- haps some public oflicers were not paid, as his honor from the city said, but they were better paid than many in the country who did work for the Government, He referred to school teachers, Heads of departments received large salaries ; but they held respon- sible positions ; they were to be men of abil- ity, and were to devote their time and talents to carry on the Government. Public offices had been too much under the control of as- sistants, but perhaps the increase would en- able heads of departments to attend better to their duties, He observed that the offices of Colonial Secretary and Treasurer were to be combined. Last year there was a resolution to increase by Confederation, but this bill was an admission that he had not enough to do. He hoped the Government would be successful in finding a suitable man for the oflice of public Auditor, and if he did the work marked out for him he would be ens titled to his salary. Despatches from Constantinople says a Cabinet Council, at which all the grand dignitaries were present, has resolved to de- pose Sultan Murad and proclaim Adduli Hamid. The change will shortly occur, On Wednesday last Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Eakins of Strathroy, lost a child under very painful circumstances. About eight o’clock in the morning, the little one—a girl about fourteen months old—got hold ofa _ on which was some fly poison,and drank some of the water with which the paper was wet. The mother, seeing what the child had done, immediately adminis- tered to it a powerful emetic, which caused it to vomit and purge very freely. Dr. Bettridge was called in, who said that the proper measures had been taken, and ad. ministered a cordial to the child. In the afternoon, however, it was taken violently ill with symptoms of poison by arsenic, and died about five o’clock. A TERRIBLE DOMESTIC VRAGHDY, From the New York Sun. In a bright, brick four-stores tenement in Montgomery, near Monmouth +'reet, Jersey City, lived Thomas McGrath, a feck hand on the Je.cey City ferry, his wil Bridget, and eight children of the hasband by a former wife. MeGrath « ustrious, and peaceable {! o for the ferry mpany twelve vea and had not lost a dav. e3 pt by ‘kn ] teen months | rst wile died, and f the neces. sity of a home for his children, he married Soon after 1 the husband rw that his wife ws addicted to d ind | his efforts to break her of this habit made frequent quarrels On Thursday night McGrath found a bare table and nothing in the house to eat. The eldest girl said that her step-mother was drunk. He proeured supper for himself and the little ones, Late at night Mrs. McGrath returned intoxicated. Her husband expostu- lated wilt. her and she answered bim inso- lently. He quit the house anc returned shortly afterwarns with the Kev. Father Smith of St. Bridget’s Church. The good priest talked to the woman and she promised to reform. Shortly before midaight their quarrels were renewed, and the husband to avoid further words,passed threugh the sit- ting room to the bedroom to retirs. He had a lighted lamp in his hand, Mrs. McGrath with a stick smashed the lamp ia fragments They struggled, and then graspipg a carbine that hung under the mirror, she brought it down with terrible force on his bead. He fought desperately, however, and gained possession of the carbine. They struggled blinded with blood, to the window. The room was in semi-darkness. Then a shriek was heard, and the husband went reeling from the fourth storey window to the pavement beneath. The wife sank exhaust- ed by the window, ber night drsss staturated with blood, and there she was found by the neighbours at one o’clock yesterday morning To those who told her that ner husband's corpse was below she replied, ‘ Let him lie there !’ McGrath was taken by the police to St. Francis Hospital, and there he died. Mrs. McGrath soon followed her husband to the hospital. Her flesh was lacerated in several places, her wrist broken, and her scal cut. She complains of severe internal inujries,and it is feared she may die. Ex-Queen Isabella met with a rather cool reception on her recent return to Spain,ac- cording to the accounts received by foreign mails. Her Majesty Don Alfonso, accom- panied by the Princess of Asturlas, arrive: at Santander to receive his mother. and when the vessel which brought the Queen hove in sight all the church bells were set in motion and the guns thundered their official welcome. On the platform waited the naval, military, and civil authorities, divers corporations and a few private individuals The band played the Royal March and the King started out to meat his mother,amid the enthusiastic acclamations of the naval and military elements. The road was den | sely crowded and although few vivas were to be heard, it was easy to see that the young monarch would be a great favorite with the people if the high officials who sur- round him would only Jet them, The King rode a white charger, aud the Princess drove an an open barouche accompanied by a lady in Waiting, His Majesty and Her Royal Highness embarked in a handsome pinnace, and were towed out by a steam launch to the entrance of the harbor, where the vessel was mooring. Queen Isabella had just ar- rived, and after embracing her son and daughter,ambarked in the pinnace and land- ed on the magnificent quay of Santander The Queen seemed much affeeted and ap- peared to have been shedding tears; but one thing was very noticeable, ane that was a dead silence in the crowd.
