..,h.dcgood,wfllno&bom If Mr. Fellowes and his friends " lay the fSattering unction to their souls" tha; there will be no protest, they will find hemsoiy es mistaken. Our evening contemporary says :â€""The " Ottaws TixEs is evidently inspired by ® other influences than yre at present :‘ apparent to the public,fiu wholesale * abuse abuse of Mr. G R. L. Fellowes." To say that we have :buni Mr. Fellowes in any form, is about as plain a way of stating whgt is not the fact as could well be conceived. Ifit be abuse to express an opinion upon & transaction of which Mr. Fellowes reaped the benefit, and in this way became responsible forâ€"a trans. action which his own friends find it necesâ€" sary to explain and defendâ€"then we are at a loss to conceive what a newspaper can say in the way of honest criticism, without being open to the charge of abusing a man. It comes with bad grace from the Tory organ to speak of abuse â€"a at the public men of _ Canada in its time than any other halif dozen combined, its confrere the Mail, of course, always accepted. As to the inâ€" fluence by which Tnz Tss is inspired, we frankly admit they are not of the same kind which appear to affect our contemporary. But they are influences the character of which not even the half uttered and cowardly insinuations of the Cilizemn will cause the public to doubt. come to, we should say. Some people in their innocence, believe that, when a‘ protest has once been entered, discussion | is for practical purposes at an end, and | the issue with "the law and the. judges." | However, there‘s no accounting for con | clusions, any more than for tastes. Perâ€"‘ haps the organ bas a more powerful rea. son for declining to reply to " any further comments from that direction.‘" A bad ‘ cause always suffers from being kept before the public We intend that this Those who conduct and write for Thz Tmezs did not seek for notoriety by interâ€" fering in the election contest in any way, except so far as addressing the public through the columns of the newspaper is concerned. They were neither exasperated by the sneers and hisses of their opponents nor puffed into undue importance by the appiause of their admiring friends. It is therefore natural they should take a calmer, less prejudiced, and more com mon sense view of the matter than those with whom it is otherwise. The Citizen is one of those newspapers which never has the common decencyâ€"not to speak of courtesyâ€"to differ with anybody withâ€" out attempting to create the impression that some motive, not of the best kind, is at the bottom of the affair. Honest peoâ€" ple can account for honest differences from their own opinions in another|way besides this. So far as Mr. Fellowes is concerned, however, his journalistic cham. pions find it necessary to adopt the ‘well known lawyer‘s mottoâ€"‘" No case ; abuse the plaintiff." . The organ one day speaks in the most aily language, and sincerely hopes there will be no protest. The next we are told that * the advisers of Mr. Bangs can pro " test the election just as soon as they " deem proper ; Mr. Fellowes‘ friends are * absolutely indifferent 2s so what course is " pursued." Which arewe to believeâ€" Philip drunk, or Philip sober? To be anxious one day and absolutely indiffgrent another is a rather critical state of mind. It is to be hoped there will soon be a change for the better, But the organ gets upou its high horse and will stop the discussion at once, nnless there actually is a protest..

A report of the occur rence baving reached the defendant, he placed the plaintiff under what is termed open arrestâ€"that is, confinement within the limits of the Fort ; and as the expla® nation given by the plaintiff of the disâ€" | turbance at Nairn did not tally with the account which had reached headquarters, he reported the plaintiff to the General in command, who reprimanded him for his conduct. The libel complained of was contained in the yearly report which was sent in by the defendant in the auâ€" tumn of 1874, which, in reference to the plaintiff, was as follows : â€"" I can‘t recomâ€" " mend this officer for promotion Since " last inspection he has been placed under " arrest, on the 28th of April, for making "a false statement to me nboutE‘disâ€" " turbance at an hotel in Ngirn, to " which he was a party,. I had to "report this othcer on a former occasion " at Halifax, Nova Scotis. I consider his "conduct a disgrace to the regiment." The second arrest, in respect of which the action was brought, was in October, 1874, when the plaintiff, who was at that time . a m}mber of a dis trct Courtmartial which had been adjourned from Saturday till Monday went up to London from Aldershot on the Sunday without obrining leave. On his arrival in town he was taken ill, and he consequently did not return to the camp till the following Friday, when he was placed under arrest for havyâ€" ing absented himself without leave when serving on a Court â€" martial. Shortly after this the plaintiff resigned his commission and brought this action . The Lord Chief Justice, in the course of the case, remarked that, if the jury believed the account of the disturbance at Nairn as given by the defendant the terms of the report were clearly justiâ€" fied, and the defendant acted quite reasonably and within his duty as a comâ€" manding officer, in placing the plaintiff under arrest. ‘The plaintiff was cross examined as to the correctness of his version of the aboye matters, and he adâ€" mitted that when in Canada, be had been charged by the Colonel with having damâ€" aged an officer‘s hut when in a state of intoxication. The only other witness called in support of the plaintiff‘s case was Captain Thomas |Mackenzie, in whose detachment the plaintiff was for about fourteen <months, in the years 1869 and 1870. He stated that the defendant, when he placed the plaintiff under witâ€" ness‘s charge, gavre him directions to "keep a strict eye on him, and if he does anything wronmg report him to me, and I will send another officer."

One grounti of complaint was that, on the occasion of new colours being presented, the plaintift) although senior ensign at the time and therefore entitled to receivo and carry the new colours, was not perâ€" mitted to do so, but was ordered by the Adjutant to carry the old colours, and this among other matters was relied upon to prove malice on|the part of the defendant. Another fact similarly relied on, was that leave was refused to the plaintiff to join the School of Musketry at Hythe, although the plaintiff® when he applied for such leave was in England on a six months‘ leave of absence, and no extension of that leave would haye been required to enable im to complete his course at Hythe. Again, in the autumn of 1374, the plaintiff applied for leave to join the Expedition to the Gold Coast, and he alleged that.py the defendant omitting to recomu nd his application on forwarding it to% War Oflice, it was returned, and when sent in a second time arrived too late. Tiis chief cause of complaint, however, arose out of an occurrence in April, 1873, imd it was in â€" reference to what passed _ on that _ occasion â€" that . the »alleged libel was written and the plaintiff® was arrested. The plaintiff‘s statement was that, having heard at Fort George, where was no, case ‘to go to the ‘jury on the ground that, taking the plaintiff‘s own case as true, the defendant had done nothing beyond his duty as a commanding officer ; but the Lord Chief Justice reâ€" the regiment then was, that one of their men had begn killed on the railway, he waiked over) to Nairn to make ipnquiries, and there foll in with a priest ; that they dined together, and on their way homa after dinner|they went into a roadside inn ind had a glass of whiskey ; that the plaintiff then fell asleep and was some THE NAIRX MILITARY .‘4(‘11 NDA L ‘The Cape Colouy having passed a vote of censure on Mr.J.

The wonder is that the :ggrievul o&oer should have been so ill advised as to bring such a case into Court. The squabble in the parlour "at Nairn has afforded food for laughter here, and it is difficult to see how the plaintiff could expect, knowing what he knew, to come out of it with flying colours. People here were not alone disappointed but astonished to find that the priest, whose shillellagh proved so powerful in the commercial room after the whisky had been druok, was not to be called on either side to say what really took place, and settle the doubt whether two parties or a doze.r were engaged in the shindy which the sleepy captain romembered so indistinctly. There was no hesitaâ€" tion about the verilict of the <jury. They were understood to have made up _ their minds even b fore the plaintiff‘s counsel wound up with his tinal appeal to them. Colonel Mackenzie is handsomely absolved from the charges against him, and even if the jury had found for the plaintiff and given him his heavy damages, the Lord Chief Justice would have interposed to prevent his enâ€" joying them, as his lordship doubted, and would have reserved, the ‘point as to whether a civil Court had jurisdiction in such a case.

Dunuix, Dec. 11, 1875.â€"Winter this year bas set in early and severe, that is to say, severe for an Irish winter. For very many years past there has not been snow before Christmas, and not much of it i ter Christmas. Snow and frost havo been with us for the past two weeks, and there is every indication that they will remain with us for some time, In the days of my childhood Father Christmas always came appropriately covered with snowâ€" ing freehold prorrty for the pur; of thfi Home is t egonnooly' onso} £2,500 from .ompbodg who is unknown, the i omm ns hoh Anonymous nefactor. who love publioig,“md‘ who lnmpno much capital in direction out of & pound, no doubt regard the amount of ilzkes ; but for the past dozen years or so he hasâ€"generally come in rain and slush, a miscelianzaus rauddy misery. ln those years the R«%&y\in , "A green Christmas makes a fat ohurbgy{rd,” has been veriâ€" fied ; the deathywate~of Dublin, always high, summing up to a very advanced figure during these tog%y, dflf, and disâ€" mal Christmas times. It is all very well, very pleasant and picturesque, to have snow on the ground, and the sun glisten>~ ing on it slippery surface ; but in our: variable climate, which is ( everything by turns and nothing long,‘"‘ the beau: tiful _ snow of . toâ€"day is _ almost certain to be converted into sloppy slush _ before â€" toâ€"morrow. _ The £xy after, the sloppy slush will be frozen over, and walking and riding in the streets will be a perilous pursuit, Then a thaw will come and set the slush free ; then rain and tmoro snow will fall on the slush, and the streets will be flooded with a com: pound of mud and half dissolved snow ; and in this way the round of misery goes on. Little wonder with such a programme that : bronchitis, rheumatism, llx:f fevers should kill people in large numbers. what _ they . do. I â€" wonder what would these smart people say of a donation of £2,5000 given anonymously | gue: ife Engl. m:m omm,hppeI:dOd.P T y« atholic we et: established in London a * I!ight l.I.i'oxno for girls and unmarried women, in bonour of the Sacred Heart of Jesus," ~and amongst the donations towards purchas» As I have already stated, Mr Butt will introduce & bill next sess‘on to amend the present worthless Land Act. The leading prinoiples of this measure will be fixity of tenure at fair rents, and securing to the tenant the rights to sell his interest in his farm. The landlords, who are still very strong in the English House of Comâ€" mons, will of course oppose this bill with all the influence at their command, and the English Chief Secretary for Ireland very plainiy intimated, when> haranguing the Belfast Orangemen, that the Tory Government now in power, will stand by the landlords. If the Parliamentary repâ€" resentatives of the people, however, are only true to their trustâ€"and, unfortu. nately, there are too many records of un fai'.hf{llness to solemn pledgesâ€"but if they be true to the people who sent them to Parliament to fight for the emancipaâ€" tion of the Irish tenant farmer from the grasp of the landlord, they will in the end succeed in the land question as well as in that of Catholic education. In this age of great exhibitions and monster music festivals there is no reason, so some people say, why Dablin shouldn‘t have a big vocal and instrumental demonâ€" stration ; and she is to try her hand at a musical: festival next autumn. She has at least one thinf ready to handâ€"she has & fitting home for anything big. In the Exhibition Palace the Irish Musical Fesâ€" tival will find ample accommodation. There is a good donf of musical talent in professional and private circles in Dublin, and there is not much danger of failure for want of material ; but there surely will be some danger in the arrangement of the details. I have heard it said. over and over again that the jealousy that ex:â€" ists amongst the musical prâ€"fession in Dublin is of the de spest and most intense character, and whoever essays to work out the festival idea into practical shape will, I think, find that their greatest difficulty lies in this direction. this donation as strong evidence per se As to the question of education, which he forsees wiil be the leading one in the programme of Irish business in Parliaâ€" ment, he told his friends that the Govâ€" erament intended to support the national system of education in Ireland, that is to say, the mixed system in the primary schools. _ As to higher education, the Government, he says, are resolved to maintain the "Godless colleges," the repeated protests of the Catholic hierarchy and clergy notwithstanding. It may be a long fight, and the end may be yet far away, but eventually the struggle for Catholic education, primary and univerâ€" sity, will be crowned with success. It is now one of the questions which every popular candidate is pledged to support and forward in every way ; there are about sixty Irish members so: pledged, and as opportunity dccurrs the number is increased ; and in time the lrish vote on the question will have no small weight in the House of Commons. & In view of the importance of the apâ€" i)roaching Parliamentiry session, in an rish point of view, a circular has been issued convening a meeting of the Home Rule members in Dublin on 4th January next, for the purpose of consulting and arranging as to the course of action to be pursued on the reassembling of Palliaâ€" ment. $ The silent charity of some people is as touching as the demonstrative giving of others is offencive. There are men who give atrifle now and again, not through a kindly or charitable spirit, but in a spirit of pride or puffery, desiring that their names should appear in the newspapers in connection with those of big P“;Pl" or in the hope that the publication of their donations will be xoog for them in their trade, profession, or calling. Theso people would regard it as money thrown away to give half a sovereign annoymously in charity. They don,t believe in: this unworldly principle of doing good by stealth ; they want the world to know The Irish Home Rule Parliamentary Party are preparing for action during the coming session. It is not likely that any distinct proposition on the Homes Rule question will be formally laid before the House of Commons. in the present constitufion of the House there is no cbhavuce of the subject getting a fair hearing on its n\eriu; but other quesâ€" tions deeply condarsing Ireland will be intrgduc d by msimvers of the Home Rule party, amoupst them being educaâ€" tion and the |and â€" question. The s aagg.0 for free|Catholic education will be unceasingly pefsevered in, both within Parliament and butside, until such a s;Ltem of educatipn is secured for Iri h Catholic children| as will not be ful of poril to their faith} as is the present soâ€" called "national‘"! system. The struggle to obtain such a system of University education as will not expose the Catholio student to the loss of faith, as in the "Queen‘s Colleges," from which religion is banished, will also be vigorously con â€" tinued in the legislature and throug .out the land. > **MWe have before us a very large proâ€" gramme of Irish business for the next sessipn. We are told that almost every subject that has ever attracted the notice of the political agitagor in Irelaud is likely to be brought by some enterprisâ€" ing member of Parliament upon the areng of Westminster, We are promis»d, in fact, so far as certain Irish members of P‘arliament can ensure it, a thorougbly Irisn session ; and I can only hope, so iar as I am personally concerned, that a peace may interveme to this extont, that we may occasionally have an English or scotch dissussion." _ l we may take the word of the ‘English Chief Secretary for Ireland for it, the Govâ€" erument is preparing to do battle in supâ€" port of the mixed system of education in Irelgud. ; This official, Sir Michael Hicks Beach, in one of those partisan speeches which he let off recently before sympa thetic audiences of Orangemen in Belfast, referring in the usual flippant style of the Englishman when talking about Ireland and lrishmen, said :â€" â€" INR:SH IN!ELLIGENCE.
