‘DOMINION PARLIAMSN?, FIFTH SESSION.

(From Our Own Correspondent. ) Orrawa, Feb. 15, 1878. P. BE. ISLAND AFFAIRS.

Several representatives of Ontario spoke yesterday; and it was late in the night when Mr. Pope rose to ventilate the griev- ances of Prince Edward Island. After hear- ing the toady Grits of the West, it was quite refreshing to listen to one who ‘‘talked busi- ness,” in a style plain, straightforward and coucise. Mr. Pope referred to the Premier's visit to Prince Edward Island, and to the boast he made after his return home, that the Island would next year send six repre- sentatives to support him in Parliament. The reception he received did not indicate wich an intention on the part of the Pro- vince. In fact, there was little doubt that it would return six representatives to op-

se him. Mr. Pope described the Prem- 1er's reception. e went on to show how the Premier's neglect had resulted in the loss of from thirty to forty thousand dollars of public money upon the Souris Breakwater for the want of a little protection, and how the mail service of the Island had been per- formed in the most slovenly manner, de- spite protestations by letter and deputation to the Premier and the authorities, which had received no attention whatever.

Mr. Pope spoke brfefly and effectively— though evidently without much preparation. After an interval Mr. Yeo rose. He re- ferred to the Fishery Award, and said he thought it was not.so large as it ought to have been. He trusted, however, that the Government would be able to expend the greater part of it in the building of break- waters, and the lighting up of the shores of Prince Edward Island. He c mplained about the imperfect manner in which the mail service had been performed ; and said that, in his opinion, the ‘‘Northern Light” should run between Capes Traverse and Tormentine. He considered that the

ablic works of Prince Edward Is- ead had been very well attended to; aud asserted that the Premier had been well re- ceived upon the occasiun of his visit. He questioned whether the Opposition would be so very successful at the next General Elec- tion. For his part, he was going to be a candidate, and he would support the Reform Government so long as they did the square thing. Heasserted that Mr. Pope had been elected by accident, and that he would meet a warm reception in his own county when he again appealed to the people. Both Prince and King’s Counties would, he pro- hesied, return supporters of the present Severument. The debate will probably be closed to-

day.

WATER WORKS.

One comfort about Ottawa is that it has an abundant supply of water from the river. Yesterday I paid a visit to the water works department. There are nine huge force pumps, driven by three turbine water wheels, each of four hundred horse power. The pumps are horizontal in their action and the machinery by which they are worked is the most ponderous I have everseen. They afforded a most striking illustration of the power of man. With a turn of his finger the engineer in charge instantaneously set the four hundred horse power engine to work at lightning speed; with a turn in the opposite direction the mighty wheels and

istons were as instantaneously motionless. Vet the only forces used are air and water. Each of the nine pumps is capableof supply- ing a million of gallons daily, and water is conveyed by pipes to every part af the city. In case of fire, notice is telegraphed to the water works, and the particular part of the town in which a fire may be raging is indi- cated by a gong. A pressure is instant- ly put on,—of sufficient power if needs be, to throw a stream as high as the princi-

al tower of Parliament Building—over two

undred feet above the level of the river. The cost of the water works—including pipes and sewers—was upwards of a million dollars; and never, our informant said, was a million dollars more advantageously ex- pended. Before the introduction of water works, small-pox was constantly laying its victims low in Ottawa. For several years there has not been a single case in the city. Fever and sickness generally is also much jessened. I enquired about the rates of in- surance. My informant said that the differ- ance was so great that a friend of his—a wholesale grocer of some property—paid his insurance and his water rates, and every year saved forty dollars of the amount he previously paid for insurance alone. This may have been an exceptionally favorable case; but it shows the advantage of water

works. W. L, C,

An Explanation.

We insert the following with much pleas- ure. In our remarks we never accused the Y. M. C. A. of any attempt to interfere with the counsel in the riot cases. On the con- trary, we were careful to state that a ‘‘smal) number” only had determined to show their feelings by leaving the room. That a num- ber intended to do so last Sunday is a fact which is well known. Many of them an- nounced their intention of doing so. But we did not state, nor is it a legitimate in- ference from our remarks, that the Associ- ation would be responsible for such indecorus behaviour ; but our remarks did apply, and still hold good, as to the small number of the evil disposed ones :—

To the Editor of the Examuner :

Sir,—Having noticed, in your issue of the 18th, a communication headed ‘Intimidation, ”’ in which the writer charges the Y. M. C. As- sociation with an attempt to hinder Mr. Palmer or other members of the Bar from de- fending Roman Catholics under pain of falling under its displeasure, we, afew of its oldest members, feel it our duty to explain to the public its position in regard to this, or any similar matter.

The Y. M. C. A. isa body of Christians drawn from the different Evangelical Courches, uuited for the purpose of more effectually car- rying out those religious objects which they hold in common. This being their purpose, they have not thought it necessary to place any restrictions upon the admission of mem- bers or to demand any test of fitness other than that Associate members are required to be persons of good moral character ; and Active Members, who alone have the power to vote and hold office, must be members in good standing of their several churches. There doea not exist a single law by which a member can be disciplined, nor is there any way in which the Association can visit with its dis- pleasure any of its members.

It must therefore be evident to the public that it is utterly impossible for any person or persons to drag the Association into the ques- tions and contentions of the day until its Con- stitution and Bye-Laws have undergone a radical change.

With regard to the Sunday afternoon prayer meeting, which we — is referred to as likely to be the scene of a demonstration, the Association simply furnish the theme and chairman. In all other respects it is in the fullest sense a public meeting.

It must be evident to the writer of that com- munication and to the public, that, however much the Association might regret action of the kind indicated, it would be utterly power- less to prevent any number of persons mani festing their feelings by leaving the room, should anything occur which they did not ap- prove of. There is no public hall in the Do- miniop, nor is there any place of worship, where such action could be prevented.

We think, therefore, that all must see that the charges referred to are eutirely groundless and manifestly unfair.

A Stupid Attack.

‘‘Warnp Four” contains a stupid and in- s»lent attack upon Mr. E. J. Hudson, one of the City Council members of the School Board. It is not our intention to defend Mr. Hodgson, but to point out that there is a vast difference between a man’s profes- sional and political acts. Mr. H. did act adversely to the Government in the matter of the Land Question, but we presume he was well paid for it. The proprietors had a tight to be 1epresented by Counce’. Does ‘‘Ward Four’ contend that a lawyer must not take up a case because it happents to be unpopular? Why not go further. Mr. H. has defended persons for murder and for arson. Why not allege that as an accusation against him? The same remark applies to the School Bill. The Bishop of Charlotte- town conceived that that measure would work injustice tothe Acadian French. Had he not a right to say so? We were under the impression that the right to petition the Sovereign belongs to all Her subjects, not even excluding a Catholic Bishop. Will ‘“‘Ward Four’ deny the Bishop’s right te employ Mr. Hodgson as his solicitor? Such stupid bigotry would be repudiated by any man of common sense. Mr. M. McLeod was equally engaged with Mr. Hodgson in the Land Cases, and for all we know in the School Case too. And is he ineligible for office? Would his have been an unfit ap- pointment because he was paid by proprie- tors to advocate their case before the Su- preme Court? ‘‘Ward Four’ is too trans- parent, and he does it very clumsily to rest upon such public grounds a malicious and a vindicative hatred.

Tus Sr. Jonw Murnger. —There can be little doubt but the authorities of St. John have got hold of the right man in the arrest of one William Vaughan for the murder of Mrs. Quinn. The evidence taken at the inquest proves that he was in Crowley’s house, where the woman was killed, at the time the murder is supposed to have been committed; there were blood stains on his clothes when arrested; and he does not give aclear account of his whereabouts at the time of the murder. Two little girls have been found who met him near the scene of the murder, and to whom he behaved in an indecent manner. He appears to be an idle worthless rascal, and has always been looked upon with suspicion. Quite a chain of cir- comstantial evidence has been obtained, mainly, it appears, through the press report- ers of St. John, who in working up the case for their respective newspapers, found out several things which might otherwise have escaped the attention of the Police. This case, and the McCarthy affair at Moncton, may yet afford work for the hangman.

The “Patriot” and “ Northern

Light.”

Tnx Patriot makes a very miserable at- tempt to contradict our figures on the cost of the Northurn Light as a mail carrier. He gives the bare expenses as these refer to the crew and their board, to the coal, the oils, cotton waste, supplies of water, washing, &e. His figures, however, do not embrace the cost of the train that waits upon the Northern Light. Neither do they include the interest of the money expended first im the building of the boat, and next in repair- ing her. ‘lhe estimate we gave was, if any- thing, below the actual cost of the Northern Light as a carrier of mails. Our contem- porary is, also, he tells us, very sorry that tue Northern Light ‘is unable to make the daily trips, which she performed with so much satisfaction until quite recently.” When, may we ask, did the Northern Laght make daily trips recently! She has been running, or trying to run, three times a week,—and that hinited postal service was pronounced by those who rule Grit matters here quite sutiicient. ‘he Patriot, indeed, appears to know nothing of the subject on which he writes, but advances figures and assertions obstinately at variance with truth. VUur contemporary may find in another col- umn what the Northern Laight costs passen- gers.

Te the Editor of the Examiner :

Srm,—When the Daily Patriot made its ap pearance, 1 fondly anticipated (owing to tue completeness of arrangements made for a sup- ply of news, as announced wita a flourish vi trumpets ina late No. of the semi-weekly), that the editors of that paper would not be compeiled to fall back upon the ‘*twaddle” ot their henchman John, and that John’s gushing effusions, in re Chiniquy, would not bein flicted upon the readers of the Daily, but at the worst be confined to the semi-weekly.

That my antivipations were ill-founded, this morning’s issue of the Daily proves; and 1 wish to take tie earliest oppurtunity of ente- ing my protest against the admission of any such twaddle to tne columns of the Daily, as 1, for one (and I think most of the subscribers ot the ‘‘Patriot” will agree with me), am sick and tired of the “‘bunkum” weekly duied out to us over the signature of John scott, in reference to the great and giorious Chiniquy, who ap- pears tu be, in Johns estimation, tae only fit- ting successor to Martin Luther.

From NewrocnpLanp.—A private letter from Harbor Grace, Nfld., reports the winter the mildest experienced since 1831. There had been very little snow—a heavy storm on the 6th left piles of the beautiful in some place, and none at allin others. Business is reported dull, and money scarce. A prominent firm has gone up for £5,000 sterling, exclusive of £3,500 sterling mort- on preinises; will pay 7s. 6d. in the £. It is noted as a remarkable fact that a schr. had arrived from Live l,G. B. The schr. came north, and kept north, the entire passage, and reports saw no ice on either coast.—Hzx. Herald.

Bishop Foster, of the American Metho- dist Church, made recently what a New York paper calls a very remarkable and suggestive statement. He said that the conferences of his denomination were crowd- ed at the present time with applications from young men desirous of entering its Ministry, There are now more than two thousand of these, and the Church does not need so many; or, as perhaps it should rather be said, the means for employing so many are not available. Whatever be the cause, the fact itself may be taken as beyond question. It would be interesting to know whether there is the same pressure of can- didates for the Ministry in other Ameri an churches, and whether the phenomenon extends to Canada.

Tue funeral of the late John Walsh was largely attended to-day. At ten o’clock the coftin and mourners arrived at the Cathedral, where High Mass was celebrated by the Rey. S. Phelan, His Lordship the Bishop assisting. At the end of the Mass, the ab- solutions were given by the Rev. Dr. O’Brien, after which the funeral cortege formed, St. Patrick’s Temperance Society and the members of the Benevolent Irish Society wore their badges on the occasion, and headed the procession. A large con- course of friends followed the hearse to the grave. The music of the service was Gre.
