Urtawa, April 1.
_ Dr. Muttart moved last night that ses- sional papers No. 73, net printed in the! year 1875, respecting dismissals from and appointments to the Civil Service in Prince Edward Island te ie laid on the table. The motion was carried.
He also moved for papers relating to causes assigned for the dismissal of officials from the Civil Service of Prince Edward Island in 1873 and 1874. The motion was carried.
The Island Conservative members will take a strong stand on the unconstitutional way in which the dismissals were made in 1873 aud 1874.

The Committee on Emmigration and Col- onization met at 10.30 a.m. Mr. Graham; a Canadian Government Emmigration Agent in England was examined before the Committee, and stated that he had been employed for nearly seven years as a special agent in Scotland, North of England, and in the south of Great Britain. He had de- voted his attention exclusively to the agri-
agricultural population, and more especially to tenants and §far- mers, and men with capital.
His experience of steamship agents was that they were quite indifferent as to the class of men they sent out, their chief object being to secure acommission. The class of people who had attended his lectures had usually been agriculturalists, as he was in the habit of helding his meetings in the agricultural
districts. He theught at the present time there were strong reasons’ which should be presented among the _ ten-
ant farmers, more especially in view of the competition. from outside, which had reduced their profits and left them in straitened circumstances. It was desirable that Canada should secure as many of these men as possible. Though it was possible that many of these tenant far- mers might come on to the Provinces and take the places of those who went to the North-West,a great deal might be done on the colonization principle in the North-West by setting out townships to be settled by people from particular counties in England. Manrirzgeure, March 31.
No direct or reliable intelligence from Colonel Pearson has been received. The anxiety is becoming grave, though the jlast communication was hopeful. Several native runners, induced by large rewards, started for Ekore with despatches, but returned, reperting the roads destroyed and every approach commancel by military Kraals,and the country swarming with Zulus. With the utmost care Col. Pearson’s sup- plies, it is believed, will be exhausted by the end of March.
An expedition is in course of organization on the lower Zulu for the relief, consisting
of 13 companies of regulars. As soon as the native contingents are sufficiently strengthened, expeditions will be for-
warded. Sr. Pererssure, March 31. Forty-five persons have been arrested for an attempt on the life of General Von Dreutelin. Some of them are of such high rank that they were net sent to common prisons.
Yow Work Springs Up Under the New Tariff. A NAIL FACTORY TO BE STARTED NEAR WINDSOR WITH DETROIT CAPITAL—75 to 100 HANDS TO BE EMPLOYED.
(From the Detroit Evening News)
It is understood from reliable authority that steps have been taken in Detroit, by a prominent business man and capitalists, to form a joint steck company for the purpose of establishing a nail manufactory on the Canadian side, probably at Walkerville. Mr. Walker offers every inducement to the company to locate there, and, as Walker- ville has both rail and water communication with all peints, no more desirable location could well be selected. The present high protective duty of 40 per cent. gives ample opportunity fer margins. ‘or five years past the Province of Ontario—in fact, the whole Dominion—has been supplied with nails by United States manufacturers, but the duty above referred to will shut out American production and throw the trade into the hands of the home manufacturers, which fact Detroit capitalists are quick to observe and take advantage of. The works will, no doubt, soon be in operation, and are expected to give employment to 75 or 100 hands.

The Death-rate of
Our country is getting to be fearfully al- arming, the average of life being lessened every year, without any reasonable cause, death resulting generally from the most in- significant origin. At this season of the year, especially, a cold is such a common thing that in <he hurry of every day life we are apt to overlook the dangers attending it and often find, too late, that a Fever or Lung trouble has already set in. Thou- sands lose their lives in this way every win- ter, while had Bosshee’s German Syrup been taken, a cure would have resulted, and a large bill from a doctor been avoided. * For

To the Electors of Charlotte- town, Common and Roy alty :
1 ENTLEMEN,—Having, at a large and influential meeting ot the Liberal-Con- servative Electors of Charlottetown, Common and Royalty, been nominated a Candidate for your suffrages at the coming General Electior, I have accepted the nomination, and now solicit your support for myself, as also for my colleague, the Honorable Neil McLeod.
Inthe late Government, as a Free School man, I performed that which I considered te be for the true interests of all classes, by assist- ing to place on our Statute Books a thorough] non-sectarian School Act. This Act, iitkengh it may—like most others —require amendment, has, 1 am pleased to believe, proved generally acceptable to every class and creed in the Province, and all now cheerfully agree that its non-sectarian principle must be kept in- violate.
I rejoice that the harsh line of religious party differences has been obliterated, and that all denominations can henceforth stand shoulder to shoulder for the purpose of stri ing in unison to carry out such measures economy and retrenchment in the Administrae tion of Governmental affairs as the changed ase
ct of commercial and other business matters in the Province have rendered absolutely necessary.
Should I have the honor to be returned te the Assembly as one of your representatives, an object of mine shall be to meet all reason« able and honest endeavors that may be made to lessen the burthen of taxation, which, im , the present state of general financial depres- sion, is undoubtedly necessary; and to aid any legitimate legislation that may tend te the well-being of every class in the commune ity, and particularly of mechanics, who, as a body, through their own magnanimity, have notin the Assembly a representative from among themselves.
I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, G. W. DeBLOIS. Ch’town, March 20, 1879.--he pres ar ne 2i
To the Electors of Charlotte- a Common and Roy- ality:
ENTLEMEN,—Having been nominated
at a large and influential meeting of the Liberal-Conservative party as a candidate for Charlottetown, Common and Royalty for the House of Assembly of this Province, in con- junction with your late representative Mr. George Wastie DeBlois, I solicit your support and influence in behalf of Mr. DeBlois and my- self at the approaching General Election.
Should you dome the honor of returning me as your representative, I shall consider it my duty to guard your interests in Parlia- ment, by advocating such measures as will most conduce to your prosperity,
In times like the present, of financial and commercial depression, [ will advocate mea- sures of economy and retrenchment in every branch of the public service in order to re- lieve the taxpayers as much as possible.
Believing that the interests of the mechanics require some consideration at the hands of the Legislature, I shall deem it my duty to ad- vocate all legitimate measures that will tend to promote their we.fare.
I have the honor to be Your obedient servant, NEIL McLEOD. Charlottetown, March 21, 1879.
To the Electors of the Third Elect- oral District of @ueen’s County:
( ; ENTLEMEN,—Having been nominated
at several public meetings held in your District, I intend to offer myself as a candi date for your suffrages at the forthcoming General Election.
Believing that the financial condition of the Province requires the strictest economy, I shall, if elected, advocate such measures of re- trenchment and parliamentary reform as are consistent with the requirements anc good gov- ernment of the country.
The local wants of the District will always receive my active attention.
I have the honor to be Your obedient servant. ROBERT SHAW, Ch’town, March 26, 1879. :
