The Question of Patronage.
Tue Patriot is, of course, trying to make some capital out of the question raised by the Herald. It will not make much.
The Patriot says that while Mr. Hay thorne was Leader of the Government the Catholics ‘‘deserted” the Liberal Party aud joined the Conservatives. doubt a great many persons, Protestant as well § as Catholic, left the ranks of the Liberal Party, and thus established the Liberal-Conservative Party—the Party of enlightened progress and prudence. But there were other deserters about the same time. Mr. Laird and a few others ‘‘deserted” the Couservative Party and entered the Cave of Adullan with the rest of the Grits. May not the movement of the Catholics, etc., have been the cause of the contra- movement of Mr. Laird?
However this may be, it is not true that the Grit Party did not receive a very large support from the Catholics of this Province in the elections of 1873— the elections in which Mr. Perry and Dr. Melutyre were returned—the elections subsequent to which the McKenzie Ad- ministration was formed.
That administration was the first that dealt practically with the affairs of this Province; and it had a grand oppor- tunity to introduce into this Province the “enlightened principle of Civil Service Reform.” What did it do? Its anxiety to establish a stable Civil Service was shown in the dismissal! of a pumber of officials, ‘“* without cause assigned ;”’ and its anxiety to provide cffices for its Catholic supporters may be judged by the following list of its appointees :—
GRIT APPOINTEES,
Governor Laird.

This list may not be quite fall; but any addition that may be made will not make the disproportion between the Catholics and Protestants any less.
The Literal Conservative Party were in power in this Province when it entered the Confederation. On the eve of the Uniou a number of appointments were made by the Provincial Government, which were to all intents and purposes Domivion appointments; and we have, therefore, included the names of the ap- pointees in the following list :—

An analysis of this list—which any reader mav make for himself—will
show (1) that the Catholics in this Pro- vince have not been ‘‘ostracised” from official life, and (2) that, taking into con-
| sideration all the circumstances, no dis-
position has been shewn by the Liberal-
we con-| Conservative Party to deprive them of a advantage that, strength-| fair share of the official patronage of the
The Legal-Agent of the | Dominion Government in this Province | has been left out of both lists, because |we all agree that Messrs. Davies and Hodgson have paramount claims to the | position; nor should it be forgotten in |making a comparison, that there is no 'Catholic here who is sc much of a |‘‘military man” that he ean perform well ‘the duties appertainiag to a Brigade- | Major, or so much of a railway man ‘that he ought to be entrusted with the _ superintendence of the Railway. Besides, /it is clearly unfair to include in the list | the names of Mr. Coleman, Mr. Bremner, | Mr. Nash, or other officials who were |in the Service many years before the Island entered the Union.
A Fatal Waterspo ut.
| PETEKSVILLE, ONTARIO, OVERWHELMED BY A | PLOOD—FEARFUL LOSS OF LIFE FEARED— INCIDENTS OF THE TERRIBLE CALAMITY.
i
(By telegraph to the N. Y. Herald.)
Lonpon, Ont., July 11.—A terrible dis- aster occurred in the Thames River Valley, around this city, this morning. Last even- ing at six o'clock, a. m., attended by in- cessant heavy rain, lightning of startling vividness and thunder which broke like a thousand parks of artillery. The night was one of terror and dismay, on account of the tempest raging. Nothing like it had oc- curred withing the living memory; but toward morning the residents of the flats west of the city traversed by the River Thames were overtaken by a catastrophe which is probably unprecedented in the Province of Ontario.
‘wo hundred buildings were overwhelm- ed by the torrent and fifty persons are re- ported missing.
The names of the dead, so far as ascer- tained, are:—
THE DEAD.
Mrs. Hopkins, of Kensington,
Feur children of R. F. Lacey, of London, West.
A woman, name unknown.
A seven-year-old daughter of Mrs. Orr, of Ann Street.
Three children of George Stratford, of Napier street.
Three children of D. F. McLean, of Blackfriars street.
A child of William Moylan, of Ann | street. | James Spackman.
Mrs, James Spackman.

THE TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE.
About two o'clock a. m. the school bell in the village of Petersville,a suburb of London, began to clang an alarm, which in due time was taken up by the city fire bells. The morning was calm and still after the storm, so that citizens when aroused by the bells heard the air filled with shrieks and cries, mingled with the sounds of a vigorous chopping with axes. The thriving suburb named, comprising about sixteen hundred souls, bad been suddenly overwhelmed with a torrent, caused by a tremendous cloud burst some dozen miles up the country. The water rolled down in one resistless | wave, raising the river te twelve feet above ordinary flood mark and destroying about two hundred dwellings.
BE HORRORS OF THE FLOOD,
The village, to-day, presents a picture of sickening ruin, brick honses being levelled and frame ones either carried bodily down stream or tumbled over and over and left in inextricable confusion. The people took refuge on the roofs of buildings that re- mained standing, until relieved by men with boats, which work occupied six hours. | Many of these people had to cut their way out through the roofs with axes, so sudden was the catastrophe
Men who left home to arouse the neigh- bors fonnd themselves borne away on the crest of the flood, while their houses and little ones were carried off by the same mad current One house floated down with lights burning inside and inhabitrd by a lady —Mizs Wright. Itsteuck the railway bridge and the lady was taken outa raving maniac. A cradle passed down amid a confusion of furniture and containing a baby, which was dead. A little boy passed over the water works dam and was engulfed.
FEARFUL LOSS OF LIFE,
|
It is supposed that there was a great loss of life, as fifty persons remain to-night un- accounted fer. This afternoon the water works pumping house went by the board. The pleasure steamer Princess Louise, cost- ing $10,00), went over the dam, and took Byron Bridge along with her. All the iron bridges have gone except one, and the city is isolated to-night. The fires of the gas works were extinguished, and the mains broken by a wash-out, and the city is also in darkness. Daniel Collins’ icehouse was swept away, together with five thousand tons of ice and eight horses.
MOVEMENT FOR RELIEF.
Collins Hall in Petersville is now filled with refugees. The churches and resi-

The “Isobel” a ‘Total Wreck.
CARGO AND VESSEL INSURED, — | A despatch received by R. F, Quirk, Esq., reporis the loss of the barque “Isobel” on Saturday, on Basque Island, on the Cape Breton Coast, about twenty miles from Arichat. The ‘Isobel’ was on passage from Liverpool, G. B., to this port, with a general cargo of merchandize—tin plates, anchors, iiquors, salt, ete. The vessel was insured in American companies, and the cargo was insured in England. The crew were saved. The ‘‘Isobel” was buils by Angus McMillan, Esq., in 1878, and wasa vessel of 198 tons. She was owned by R. F. Quirk, Esq., of this city. ——-—
