Liberal-Conservative Candidate for Charlottetown,

HENRY LONGWORTH, ESQ. Tus Datty EXAMINER,

NOVEMBER 1, 1875. Has Mr. Dodd a Prescriptive Right to Represent this City.

Ir the Patriot could show that Mr. Dodd is a better man than Mr. Longworth, it would have, at least, one reason why Mr. Dodd should continue to enjoy, at the hands of the electors of Charlottetown, the honors incident to the position of a Legisla- tive Councillor. We may as truthfully say of Mr. Longworth Mr. Dodd, that he ‘‘ enjoys the confidence of men of all ranks and conditions, and, we believe, all parties in Charlottetown and out of it, because he has won it by pursuing in every relation of life, an honest and con- sistent course, and by performing all his duties, public and private, faithfully and conscientiously.” And on that ground we fail to see why Mr. Longworth now be preferred to Mr. Dodd. has been iv six The Charlottetown may without doing Mr. Dodd any injustice, put Mr. Long- worth in. Mr. Dodd has, we repeat, no prescriptive right to represent Charlotte- town in the Legislative Council. If he had performed any notable service fer the city, he might have some claim to a continuance of the honor of being the City’s represen- tative. But Mr. Dodd has performed no such service.

A Poor Plea.

Secretary Evarts offers a poor plea in excuse for delaying the payment of the five and a half million dollars awarded as com-

pensation for the use, by United States fishermen, of the Canadian Fisheries.

What though some of the unsophisticated fishermen of Newfoundland could not bear patiently to see the Yankees breaking the Lord’s Day and securing large catches of fish while they, by the laws of their country and the precepts of their religion, were com- pelled to refrain from labor and could take nothing? What though the property of a few Yankee fishermen were consequently de- stroyed? Is there not a law by which the destroyers can be compelled to make repara- tion? The contention that because a few poor benighted Newfoundland fishermen did not do right, the great enlightened United States should not pay the amount of the award they solemnly bound themselves to abide by, is pitiful in the extreme. ———__—_~>-— Legislative Council Election.

FIRST DISTRICT OF QUEEN 8S COUNTY.

By reference to another column it will be zen that Joun McLeop, Esq., has been unanimously nominated’ a candidate for the First Legislative Council District of Queen’s County. We have not yet learned whether or not A. B. McKenzie, Esq., intends ranning again; but we have learned that Mr. McLeod's election is pretty certain. Mr. McLeod is a very intelligent. farmer, a resident of the district, and our advices are that he is exceedingly popular. It is said that he is the very best man the elec- tors of the First District could have hit upon to represent them in the Legislative Council.

Office Seeking.

On this subject, the Hamilton Spectator says to those who imagine that it is worth while being shelved for life and debarred from following any other business for sake

as the Patriot et

—

Mr. Perry.

Mr. Perry’s pesition is thus stated by the

‘Mr. Perry seeks not the representation of Tignish for any good he can do his con- stituents. He seeks it for the good he can do to himself; and the good he can do to nimself in this Connection is in supporting the Davies Government. Mr. Perry’s learest interests lie there. He may make what professions he pleases in cards and ad- dresses, one point is fixed immovably. Mr Perry, if returned by the voters of Tignish, must of necessity support the administration of Louis Henry Davies. Hand and foot he is bound over to the Premier, and he care aot even struggle in his bonds. If, there- fore, the people of ‘Tignish wish the over throw of the iniquitous Davies Government they will not choose Perry as their repre sentative. He will be, if elected, an acl- litional prop to the Government—such a prop as W. D. Stewart—a man kept in place to earn publi¢ money in order to pay nis debts.

‘*Mr. Perry, so far as we know his re- ord, has not the slightest claim on the voters of Tignish, beyond what he himself states, viz., that he isa ‘poor man.’ If it ve a question of having a French repre- sentative for that District, there is surely more honest and more reliable men to be found among the French than Ntanislaus fF. Perry. Certainly no one could be found less so. Tignish may not want the Davies \Government thrust from power; in that case they will wisely elect Mr. Perry. He will take office under Mr. Davies as soon as elected, and the Asylum job, the Assess- ment Act and other iniquities will be con- tinued, and Mr. Perry will be paid for hold- ing his tongue respecting them, or support- ing them as they now exist.

‘* Mr. Perry has, we understand, written and appended his name to two cards. One is printed, and gives Mr. Perry all the scope he may want ; the other, we believe, loes not give Mr. Perry quite so much lat- itude, so, like an eel loving a large basin, he has rejected it. It matters little which card is taken, Mr. Perry will be still, in) the end, the same slippery and deceptive character. Should he be elected, it is well for the electors of Tignish to know that the only way in which he can ameliorate him- self as a ‘ poor man’ is by adhering to the Davies Government—the Opposition will have nothing at all to do with him. Mr. Perry, in politics, is a worthless waif which a Government in agony, like that of Davies, would alone lay hold of. Gavin’s card is honest and clear ; Perry’s is the document of a double-dealer and a hypocrite.”

Growth of the Church of England.

A return lately presented to the House of Lords, on the motion of the Earl of Powis, gives most interesting and valuable proof of the steady growth of the Church of England. {t is the glory of the Church that when a new parish is founded within her bound- aries permanent spiritual ministrations ave provided for those who dwell within its limits. A church, when once consecrated, is set apart ‘‘from all profane and common uses,” and remains a church forever. Each parish has at least one resident clergyman, hound to provide at any time spiritual min- istrations to those committed to his charge. It is thus a most valnable proof of the great advance of the Church of late years to learn that. according to Lord Powis’ re- turn, no less than 2,581 ‘‘separate in- cumbencies or districts’ have been cre- ated since 1843, or within the last thirty-five years. In other words, seventy- four new parishes have on an average been constituted in England every year during that period. Of course the increase has been largest where the presence of popula- tion is greatest. In the diocese of London 286 new parishes have been formed ; in Ripon, 254; in Lichfield 216; and in Man- chester noless than 396. Even in the diocese of St. Albans, only constituted last year, an increase of two new parishes is al- ready recorded. When we remember that in addition to a permanent pastor anda new church, schools, and parsonages houses have generally been provided, we see how vast a work of quiet but most. efficient Church extension is going on all arcuad us, under the guidance of the ecclesiastical and church _building commissioners. A short time since Englishmen were considerably startled to find that Churchmen had been spending in thirty years £30,000,000 for church building and restoration ; if the ex- penditure on endowments,parsonage houses, and schools, during the same period, were added, would not the amount be nearly doubled ?

The whole number of children in ndon, for whom school room is required, is reckoned at 614,000. Of these volun- tary schools provide for 278,000, and Board echools for 186,000. When the works now in process are completed, the Board will be able to accommodate 240,000 more young people. But, as may be seen, there will still be mere than 100,000 still unprovided for, and this number is, of course, daily in- creasing. Just think of it—nearly two- thirds of a million of school children within the limits of one city. }

in room of A. B. McKenzie, whose seat has become bacant in the Legislative Council. {ft was attended by the electors with instructions to represent the north end of the district. The meeting was or- ganized by the appointment of M. Matheson to the chair and the undersigned secretary.

The meeting was addressed by a number of speakers, all ef whom joined in con- demning the present Government in the strongest terms. 1D. Cameron, Esq., made a telling speech and advocated the abolition of the Legislative Council, and plainly showed that it is a useless piece of expensive machinery and greatly adding to the taxes of the farmers of this Island. He moved, and Messrs. J. R. Elliott, Charles Murray, M. Buchanan, Hugh McLeod, John Mug- ford and S. Kennedy seconded and sup- ported, the nomination of John McLeod, iisq., as a fit and proper person to represent this district at the coming Legislative Council election. Mr. McLeod came forward and said he bowed to the wishes of

biladiy ot

the people in this matter, and would, if elected, do his level and honest best in the interests of the farmers of this district and the Province generally. He said he was strongly in favor of doing away with the

Legislative Council, believing it to be un- necessary. J. W. Hucuss, Secretary.

: ee Trans-Continental Trade.

The Union and Central Pacific Railroads of the United States have recently made a bold move for the purpose of securing the control of the entire trade in that country between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. It is customary for the Union Company te make the rates of freight going westward, and for the Central Company to fix the rates of freight coming eastward; but as the two roads work together in matters of this kind, they may be considered as virtually one cor- poration. A few weeks since, word was sent to both eastward and westward ship- pers that if they did not make a contract fora year to send all their merchandise over these two roads, they would be charged for whatever shipments they made 12 cents per pound, which was a considerable in crease on the former tariff. At the time little notice was taken of this threat; the rates by way of the Isthmus of Pan- ama were 5 cents per pound, and ship- ments that would ordinarily have been sent by rail were dispatched by steamer.

‘But in a few days a new obstacle to free

transportation by this means presented itself. In accordance with an agreement entered into between the Union and Central \ailroad Companies and the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, the latter increased its rates to 10 cents per pound, and the al- ternatives permitted the merchants were to ship their merchandise by sailing vessels around Cape Horn, or to accept the propo- sition of the railroad companies. After consultation, several of the shippers con- cluded to come to terms with the railroad companies, and were not displeased to find that they could make an agreement for a year on the basis of 24 cents per pound—a rate considerably lower than any hitherto charged. Of course, the natural result of this was to force other shippers into concur- rent action, so that now there is hardly a prominent business house engaged in send- ing manufactured goods to California, or receiving wool, teas, &c., from the extreme West, that has not signed a paper commit ting its trade for twelve months into the hands of the railroad companies. 6 OR e The Great Bank Robbery.

The Janitor of the Manhattan Savings Bank, of New York, which was recently operated upon bya gangof burglars and robbed of several million dollars in cash and bonds tells the following story :—‘‘Keeley, the night watchman, rapped at my door at six o'clock this morning to let me know that it was time for me to get up and take charge of the bank. I live in the rear of the house, on the floor over the bank, and the entrance to my place is on Bleecker street, I replied to the night watchman’s summons and got up. I was in the act of putting on my clothes when I heard a noise in the sitting room. My wife, who is sickly, became frightened and she called out to me to go intothe next bedroom, where her mother sleeps, and see if anything was wrong with the old lady. With that several men, wearing masks crowded into our bedroom. When my wife saw them she screamed alond, but I told her to keep still or they would kill us. They told us if we kept quiet and did not make a noise that they would not harm us. They then handcuffed me and my wife. One of the men, who was a stout man and wore a black mask, asked me for the keys of the bank. I told him they were on the table. He then asked me for the combination key of the safe. Irefused to give it up, when they all threatened to kill me. I told them that the combination key would be of no use to them, as they would not know how to turn the knob. Que of the men replied that he knew how to turn the knob well enough, and they again threatened to kill me if I did not give them the key. 1 at last surrendered it, and five of them went down stairs, while two remained with us te prevent us leaving the house or raising an alarm. Ido not hnow what they did in the bank. The two men stood guard over us until twenty minutes past nine, and when they left I ran down to the barber shop with my hands manacled and told what had happened.” The burglars are still at large.
