Tbe words in italice are these Sir Louis ioseried ia the Ecu-e of Commore: sec- tiun 67 is the one which provides for the uumbering of chjected ballots in Prince HiwardI-lard. The otjectof Sir Louis’ amerdment is p'ain. It was interded to remove the ob] gation of secrecy regarding tnese chj+cied votes in Prince Edward I laud. His gsme was epoilt by the Senate when the italicised worde were 8 ruck out.

Tue Senate’s action retains the ful! obligaticn of secrecy on every person ccn- nected wiih the election, ard here is the penalty for violation cf that obligation. | It is, a8 we bave said, tub section 8 of section 96:

*‘Every one who violates ary prcvisions of this eection (ircluding tub eec. 5 os ameaded by the Senat:) -heli be guilty of an indictable cffence, end liable to a penalty, not exceeding two hundred dol« lars,and to imprisonment fer any term not exceeding &X mouthe, witb or with- out hard labor, in default of payment of euch penalty,”

Grit canvaseers wil! do well to consult Sir Louie again on this cut ject; acd if they wish to escape the two hurdred dollars

Since the winter port busi~ ness began o.her portions of this province have become deeply interested in the eup~ plying of bay asd other agricukural pros ducts to these steamere, which results iu the distribution through several couaties of a large amount of money. Besides thier, @ considerable portion of our population has come to rely, more and more, upop ikis employment a8 a means of livelihovd during the winter, and the sudden wiih- drawal of euch employment wonld entail great hardship. For this we see no com pensation, as the honorable the minister of railways and canzels hae stated that he is unable to accept the offer of President Shaughnessy to transferto the [ntercolon- 18] raliway, at Montreal, the wiater busi- ness of the Canadian Pacifis railway aur- ing the coming season.”

The next beet thing that St. John can do is to do what it can to return a patriot- ic and capable government to power.
