On the principle that; no news is good nsws, the public may well gather a very favorable Impression with .regard* to1 the dependencies of the British Crown. Not many>years since Colonial troubles and discontents formed a constant difficulty-with Ministers at home, and gave rise to debates in every session... The Colonial Secretary was one of the most; important personages in the Cabinet, for ifc waa his duty to govern, or lecture, or worry forty dependencies, great and small, which, on their part, were always begging some fay or or declaiming against some grievance. Colonial deputations ia London and Colonial indignation meetings across the ocean were the order of the day, and-'it is difficult to say which .were5 the moBt formidable to the British taxpayer. Whatever opinion, sentiment or passion tbe colonist displayed; whether love to us or loyalty to our - Queen, or' etern local patriotism, the result was al ways tbe same��������� an addition to the home budget; 'We freely confess that this was not the fault of the colonies, but of those statesmen of tradition at home who clung to the. old organization 'of tbe British Empire, and insisted on keeping large and increasing English communities in official leading strings, The colonies were lo be practically governed from home, their laws were to be made for tbem, tbeir lands distributed for them, tbeir feuds and friendships with the natives directed^for tbem, and their battlesfought; for them by the gentlemen of the Colonial Office. It is needless to recapitulate how all this has been'changed��������� how the grant of self government to the^col- onies has-been followed by the strongest Inculcation of self-help, and how these coramu- 'nitiea have become, under such influences, more sufficing to themselves and more useful to the mother country. The last and moat conspicuous instance'haa been that of New Zealand. Only middle-aged men remember the^Caffre wars that spoiled more than one New Zealand to fight a; handful of Maorics ja d thing of yes'tlrday. So slow is tbe progress of sound administration principles that it needed all the courage of the most powerful of Liberal Ministries to decide on telling the colonists, that they must manage their own natives, and great was the outcry with which this barbarous abandonment of our offspring was greeted*. However, the act was accomplished, and, by the testimony of-those who most opposed it, has been thoroughly successful. It swept away the iast vestige of the old colonial system^ At precisely the same time the Canadian Dominion was established, and the. Australian colonies came to, the conclusion that they not only needed no garrisons of British Regulars in time or. peace, but felt themselves strong enough to nndertake in great part their own defence in case of an Imperial :wj^t^Un.der,;the^.hew"-system the colonies are acquiring a more robust political health, and tbeir material *pfosperiiy advancss so rapidly and evenly ��������� thai^their history - is almost barren of events. Yet there are some who are not wholly pleased by the change. There is a senti- mentaVregret that the corinexioir between the mother country and the colonies is not so close as;it used to be.: Fears are expressed that the tie has become so thin and.slack that itx may soon'cease altogether. It is suggested that the present relations are such that if the colonies were to declare th erase) yes indepencU enfc:tne7di*ft^w James Martin, Premier of New South, Wales,' has made himself the exponent of these views. At an entertainment given to the Marquis of Normanby, who was on bis way to Queens land, the Chief of tbe New South Wales Government took up the old topic that the. British country. Thus Sir. James Martin says tbat the Australians are offended because, ** for the sake of a few thousand pounds," the Imperial authorities bad withdrawn the garrisons. He hopes that " this spirit of economy will disappear," and M by the adoption of a better policy, we should have sent back to our shores those troops which would do for us not what we are unable to do for ourselves, but which would show that we .were one, and, he hoped, indivisible." Tbe contemptuous mention of '* a-few thousand pounds" is quite in- the approved style, and shows bow.much the speaker has studied tbe cost of the garrisons.and squadrons which England bas maintained ;in every part of tbe glob$. This tone becomes even more indefensible under the circumstances of colonial legislation.: Sir James.Martin is a Protectionist, and in the sister colony Protection is'dominant. The communities with which we are to keep up a " visible connexion" by costly military establishments display tbeir independence by treating England in'������; all commercial matters, as a foreign power,..and- raising, tbe bu 1 k of their revenue by duties on her productions.-���������' [Lbn'don Times.������������������'���������'��������� HOTELS, RESTAURANTS. &61 MISCELLANEOUS.

Lord Normanby in his speech had said that such feelings received no encouragement in high places, and Sir James Martin is glad to bear it. Sir James, however, believes that the views promulgated by Mr Gold win Smith bad been sanctioned to a certain extent by persons high in office, and that they had done somewhat towards severing the ties between England and the colonies. On tbis point it, is, perhaps, impossible to reassure tbe speaker and those who think * with him. Alt tbat can be done is to say that every public roan at home connected witb the colonies has repudiated the doctrine, by whomever promulgated, that the colonies should be declared independent and. the Queen'B Sovereign ty and pro tection wi thdraw n. Furthermore, it may be confidently asserted, that, in the opinion of tbe Liberal party at home, the recent change in system is not only no abandonment of the colonies, but was deliberately adopted and earned out because ifc afforded tbe only means of reconciling tbe retention of foreign dependencies with justice to our borne population. Sir James Martin may be reminded tbat some of the most able of the colonial authorities-have enpouraged tbe home Government la its new policy precisely because they saw that, if it were not adopted, tbe instinct of tbe democracy at home would be for doing what Mr Goldwin Smith counselled- The colonies are suckers, and not feeders, was the old cry of the economists and utilitarians, and the principles of these teachers are clearly enough the principles on whioh the England of the future is to be goversed. We say that what has been done bas been Conservative in the truest sense, and gives the colonial system the chance of a new life. -The colonial Conservatives and their friends Witb reference to general political matters, lean only say at present tbat if honored by your suffrages, I shall go to the House of Commons untrammelled ,by party obligations, save that I shall consider it my duly, and tbe duty of every member from this Province, to lend a cheerful support to the Ministry to whom we. owe our new birth and political enfranchisement.

Vigholo, who was present' wlien the conversation took place, gave similar evidence. B. N. Maury testified that prisoner had told him positively that he was going to Yale for a load for Cunio. Mr Walkem, counsel for prosecution, read the evidence of prisoner, vaa given hi the Coilnfy Court, wherein he denied that he had made any positive agreement with complainant, or that he told Cunio that he was certain Davis bad *oJd his train, and stated tbat, he had asked for ft written agreement, which Cunio refused to give. A'letter was also produced which had been sent by Cunio to Kimball <& Gladwin, felling them to give the freight to Caux. and if Davis should have got another train and demanded a load to try and procure freight for him. Counsel applied that prisoner should be committed for trial. Messrs. Davie tt Park, counsel for prisoner, asked thkt he should be 'discharged..as ibe evidence was insufficient to sustain the charge. The Xfagi%lrate decided that. sufficient evidence had been produced to; warrant the case being sent before a jury, and he should therefore order prisoner to-be committed for trial at Ihe next Assizes. Bail for .his appearance could be done on reasonable terms, while if once left to block the cost may bo much greater hereafter. . Merchandize of every description is now scarce here, while there are large stocks on the way ; flour is not Jo be hsd, and if the road is not kept in a passable condition prices will rule high this winter.

As to the origin of the phrase " Old Nick," Archdeacon Nares tells us that "Nick" was a.very old man among the Northerns, and from them we derived the word. We borrowed it, in fact, from the title: of an evil genius amongihe Danes. They believed tbat be often appeared on the sea and deep rivers >m the form of a sea-monster, presaging immediate shipwreck and drowning to the unhappy sailors. Keyster, another antiquarian authority, mentions a. deity of the waters, worshipped by the ancient Danes and Germans, under the name of Nicken or Nbcca. Hence, doubtless, the term "Old Nick'7 arose by an easy corruption. In tbe museum at Cassel, Germany, is -a library made from five hundred European trees.

Title | The Cariboo Sentinel |
Publisher | Barkerville, B.C. : George Wallace |
Date Issued | 1871-12-09 |
Description | The Cariboo Sentinel was published in Barkerville, in the Cariboo region of central British Columbia, and ran from June 1865 to October 1875. At the time, Barkerville was home to a fast-growing community of miners who had been attracted to the Cariboo region by the discovery of gold. The Sentinel was published by George Wallace, and its stated objective was not only to disseminate mining intelligence, but also to eradicate official abuse[s] of power, both within the Cariboo region and beyond (vol. 1, no. 1, p. 2). |
