.. THE NOVA SCTTIA CLOUD.


A somewhat noteworthy circumstance In
Canadian affairs has been the singular ret
icence of the press of the country in rela-
ton to the recent important Parliamentary
debate on the condition of affairs in Nova
Scotia, the substance of which has already
been reported in our telegraphic columns.
Most of the papers show their appreciation
OF the Importance of the subject by publish
ing full reports of the debate itself; but
comment is silent with them all. Whether
this unusual reserve arises from recognition
of the gravity of the impending crisis, and
natural hesitation to do anything which
may precipitate it, or simply from not knowing
what to say in so unlooked-for state OF
things, the fact is certainly curious. To un-
pref JUDGED observers it is at least not difficult
to perceive that crisis of momentous i'm
portance in the history OF British America is
daily drawing nearer. The Nova Scotians are
determined not to submit to the rule which
has been unfairly imposed upon them; and
the Imperial government is equally resolute
not to set them free from the irksome bond.
Ii neither party consents to recede from its
position collision is inevitable. OF course,
Nova Scotia, single-handed, would never hold
herself capable of coping with the power of
Great Britain; but will the mother country
care to repeat the attempt to coerce refrac-
tory colony or province in America? Has
not her experience in that direc ion been
such as to make her more cautious than for
merly-especially in view of the considera-
tions recently suggested by Mr.. Goodwin
Smith in public speech at Manchester. Mr..
Smith said: ,.s


Ii we try to hold the Nova Scotians to the
Confederatlon, and they become very much ex-
asperated, am afraid that they may lead to
some dlherences between us and the United
states. L am convinced that the United
States entertain no design whatever against
the independence of the Canadians L am
convinced that they will allow things to take
ther natural course as regards Canada. 1t is
impossible IN not to see that the advantages of
tne U mon are such that all the neighboring
territories tend to fall into it, 1t secures to all
lts members internal peace, external security
ana internal free trade-advantage which
cannot fall to attract towards it our colonies
on It's borders. But l am convinced that the
Americans entertain no aggressive designs
against the Canadians. But on the other
hand, do not feel sure that they will permit
any european power to coerce any community
on that continent; and if we were to attempt
10 coerce the Nova Scotians, and compel them
10 remain in Confederation which they dis
IKE, do not feel at all sure that serious con-
sequences would not eusue; and cannot help
thlnking that this is one of the symptoms of
tne necessity OF reconsidering our colonial in


We would not be understood as intimating
that in the contingencies suggested by Mr..
Smith, the complications" he deprecates
would be likely to occur, but these considera-
tions will doubtless have some weight with
the English government. -t f.

odious features are likely to be amended
The duty on breadstuffs will undoubtedly be
SO mordified as to bear less heavily on the
people of the Maritime Provinces. 1t is hard
ly probable, however, that such an adjust
ment will be reached as will content both the
eastern and western Provinces. The people
ofNew Brunswick and Nova Scotia are very
generally in favor of free trade; while in Can
ada proper protectionist theories prevail.
As the western provinces are strong enough
to control the action of the Government the
free trade advocates will hardly be able to
secure amy extensive concession to their
views

CURES FOR HYDROPHoBIA--W
cut from our exchanges the following
remedies for hydrophobia, which
may be worth bearing in mind at the
present time:-


One remedy is rs follows: Horse
radish grated and mixed with little
vinegar and sweet oil to form a paste
Eat of this all that can be swallowed
and kept on the stomach. Repeat
the eating and renew the poultice as
often as necessary, to keep up the
stimulating effect of the horse radish,
until the spasms are relieved and the
patient cured.


Another is: Take Immediately
warm vinegar or tepid water, wash
the wound herewith, and then dry
1t; then pour upon the wound a few
drops of hydrochloric acid, because of
the saliva, by which means the latter
is neutralized.


Another receipt is: Mix one pound
OF common salt in quart of water,
then bathe with and squeeze the
wound with the same one hour, then
bind little more salt on the wound
for twelve hours. The author of this
receipt twas bitten six times by mad
dogs, and always cured hiMself with
the above mixture, and offers to suffer
himself to be bitten by any mad dog
in order to convince mankind that
what he offered was a real truth, to
which numbers could testify"

EINANCIALITEMs.--Th New York

In full. In this state of affairs, when
the credit of Tennessee was in posi-

borrowers and traders in the State
were steadily advancing with the
markets of New York, legal proceed
ings were taken, which mede H.
necessary for Governor Brownlow
and the Treasurer to advise the New
York agent of the State to withhold
the interest. This disaster to the
state credit, instead of being the sub
Ject OF regret to promote citizens of
the State temporarily hero, has been
the signal for the expression of their
qualification and of prediction of still
lower rates for the bonds. The parties
thus jubilant on the misfortlnes of
their State are largely Unidentified
with its railroads, and have probably
been interested in speculations against
the credit of the State. When the
Legislature IL meets, short work will be
made of this question. Tho bond

suit of the action of the Legislature,

icy toward Tennessee, and has done

The spirit of hatred toward the Cath
olic Church which was so rampant a
few years since still exists. The other
night the Radicals of Bellefonte had a
procession to celebrate the victory in
this State, and when passing the Cath
olic Church of the town, they stopped
and deliberately gave hideous groans
for it and its pastor. Here was the
same spirit which excited the Philadel-
phia riots. The will to burn the church
in Bellefonte existed. Yet, strange to
say, there are Catholics who vote with
this despicable party. We have no
doubt enough of them gave support to
their mortal foe in this State to make
up the majority that party received at
tho recent election. Some of these
days they will see their folly, but II

interest in the success of the great
Democratic cause.-the cause of good

will make our triumph emphatic. Let

The Meadville (Pa.) Daily Republican,
few days after the election, had
this attack npon the Irish because they
would not fraternize with the negro.
The man who wrote it made a great
mistake in not being born without even
visible admixture of white blood in
his veins:


"That portion of our Republican pol
iticians who hoped to gain voters
among the Irish at the late election
ought to be satisfied that efforts in that
direction are in vain. As a class the
Irish voted against us. With few ex-
ceptions they belong naturally to the
negro hating, Copperhead Democracy.


fIn this city they were the most ac-
tive men on election day. The ink was
hardly dry on the naturalization papers
of several of them before they were the
noisiest politicians in the ranks of the
opposition. They are the most clam-
orous of all men against Niger
Equality" but majority of them are
neither as intelligent, nor as good citi-
zens as the negroes.


"To disfranchise our colored citizens,
and give the ballot to the ignorant
Irish is reproach to our civilization.

Last evening few minutes before nine
o'clock one of those shocking and bloody
affairs occurred at victor's restaurant on
Canal street, the details Of which make the
observer and the reader shudder.


Tive gentlemen we're dining there at one
table, and Colonel Nanny late of the Con-
federate service, brother of General Nanny,
of Nashville, Tennessee, was dining at
another table in state of intoxication that
rendered him boisterous and dangerous.
Colonel Nanny was rude and insulting in
his language and with his revolver threat.
ened to shoot somebody about the premises.
The two gentlemen referred to left the
table and went to the door to procure
policeman 10 arrest Nanny. When they
returned Nanny met them near the door,
and commenced to apologize for his rude
ness and inei9ility. Suddenly something
was done to change his course of apology,
and it is presumed that he again became
insulting, when almost instantly, it is
thought in selfdefense one of the two gen
tlemeu referred to stabbed Nanny twice to
the heart, and instantly fed down Canal
street toward the Clay statue.


AT a late hour last night he had not been
arrested, ner had the police been able to
find his companion, though they knew his
name and where hisroom is, and had visited
it to find him. 1t is not improbable that
the party who inflicted the mortal wounds,
whose name is not yet known, will surren-
der himself to the police, if he has not done
so before this paper goes to its readers.


We gather this partial Information from
Lieutenant Manning, of the second district,
and Chief Aids Bradley, lizard, and Farrel,


VictoF's house was closed by the police
and admission refused to every one until
the coroner's investigation is held, which
will probably be this morning. The dead
body, it is said presents a shocking spec,
