MARCH 14, 1878. - Ki The Grits and Truth !

i !

LYINe, barefa ed, shameless lying, is a characteristic of several who hold important offices in the Ottawa Ministry at the present time. First of alltiere is Mr. Huntington, who, openly and in the face of the assem- | bled Parliament, declared that he never be- fore had heard any complaint against his worthless copper mines, and at that very | moment there was a letter in existence, written by himself, contradicting, most em- |

hatically. the words he then uttered. ‘hat letter has now been given to the | world, and Mr. Huntington in consequence | stands convicted of an audacious poral

In the next place there is Mr. Jones, of Halifax, the newly appointed Minister of | Militia. He was accused of making a speech some years ago, in which he said, | “Phat on the day on which the British flag | was hauled down from Citadel Hill, he/ would raise his hat and cheer.” Day after day we find the belligerent Mr. Jones ris- ing in the House and warmly declaring this statement to be a slander, and that he never uttered such words. In Mr. Jones’ face, the other night in the House of Commons, @ memorandum was read by Sir John Me- Donald, signed by Sir William Young and: Judge DesBarres, setting forth circumstan- | tially that they heard the words uttered by Mr. Jones in a crowded public meeting at Halifax. But not even this daunted the Minister of Militia, who unblushingly rose and denied the entire statement, which he characterized as a slander.

The testimony of the two Judges is cor- roborated by the accounts given in the news- papers of the day, all of which report the | seditious utterance of Mr. Jones, and des cribe the meeting as breaking up in con- fusion in consequence of the treasonable

apeech. Cries of **Traitor,” ‘‘Put him; wat,” “Pitch ih> traitor out of the window, were raised, and thie voice of Jones Was |

drowned in the excited din. It was con- sidered that Mr. Jones had so deeply of- fended against the virtue of loyalty thata public meeting was held on the following day in order to make reparation ; and the following is tue Roporter’s account oi baat : ‘The Hoa. Dr. Parker called the meeting | to order, and moved that Mr. H. Richey | take the clair. Mr. Richey, omtaking the chair, ased for ‘three cheers ior the Queen, which were given in @ style and manner that showed most conclusively the intense loyalty of those present. We only wish Mr.

many of that vast cro wd would join with him in ‘taking of their hats when the British flag would be pulled down froin the citadel |”

Tne Colonist immediately after the event

ye the words used as follows :—‘‘And when the British flag is hauled down at Qitadel Hill and replaced by anther, 1} shall take off my hat,” and the correspond- ent of the -Toronto Leeder writing from Halifax on the very day of the storm 5 maetingin the Coancil Chamber, himsel! having oeen present, stated fl e words used and gave the.a exactly as the Coloaist gave them.

Against all this mass of evidence, Mr. Jones declares that he is not guilty; and Mr. Jones stands up in Parliament and pleads his innocence. Prisoners in the Dock plead not guilty, no matter how strong or how direct the evidence agains: them may be, amd it is clearly the wish oi Jones and Hunt.nzton, to introduce into Parliament tue tases permitted by law to abandoned criminals in a Court of Justice.

The untruthfulaess of Messrs. Hunting ton is, however, after all, no great matter for marvel. Taeir leader, Mr. McKenzie, equivovaies, and misleads with the tact of a conscienceless diplomatist. The disciples have outrun their master, and carried his teachings to their last and most barefaced extrem ity.

ditttthe Gs Vit oe Vi Opening of the Legislature.

Tuunspay, March 14, 1878.—His Honor Sir Robert Hodgson opened to-day the House of Assemily. A company of Volun- teers, headed by Galbraith’s Band, marched tu the House to receive His Excellency. The ususal salute was fired from the Battery. At three o'clock the Lieu- tenant Governor, was pleased to com- ymnand the attendance of the Members oi the House of Assembly at the Bar of the Council Chamber. Accordingly, the Mem- bers ajpeared before His Honor, and after the usual formalities, His Honor was pleased to make the following

Canada and Eng'and.

We have seen a good many changes since the time five years ago when the London Pimes snid to Canada, as the Post Laureate interpreted it, ‘* Friends, your love is but a burthen; loose the bond and go.” And at that tine there was a strong party in Eng- land which believed that the colonies were a sarthen to England, and that the Mother Jountry would be stron zer and better with- out them. ‘I'he people who said such things ive years ago, if they have not since changed their opinions are atraid to make them pub- lic. He would be a hardy person indeed who to-day would dare to stand upon an wnglish platfor.n and advocate the separa- tion of Mungland from her colonies. We fear that the mob would be scarcely satis- ded with breaking his windows; most pro- yably they would wish to break the head shat uttered such nonsense. ‘he puliticai vhilesophers, wao were so cos nopolitian shat they care nothing for the interests of sneir own country, have had their day in ingland, the Engiish people have grown ured of them and their doctrines, and even soine Of the most ardent doctrinaries have chemselves modified their views with regard to the integrity of the Empire. The ‘nost conspicuoas convert of ali is the Lon- don ‘* Times.” It is overjoyed atthe loyal desire of Canada to furnish a contingent for tue defence of the Empire, in case of a war with Russia, and has no words too strong to use in praise of the Canadian militia for their offer to furnish 10,000 men to swell the British army. It now recommends the establishment of a Canadian Auxiliary Brit- ish Army,a project which isnotunlikelytohe carried out. Such a proposal shows the drift of public sentiment in England and the wide departure that has been taken from the opinions held by the ‘Times five years ago. —St. Jolin Telegraph.

Tho Fishery Award.

A Washington despatch of the 11th says: The Wishery award was discussed in Senate to-day on the resolution of Blaine calling for official correspondence, which was adopted, Senator Blaine made the principal speech. He pronounced the Treaty a mockery. of justice, waich is des- troying one of our great interests, essential to the success of our great naval power. He claimed that we were paying to Great Britain $1,000,000 per annum for the privi- lege of catching less than $499,000 worth of fish, and that the injustics of the award is

Papeis’ oa the subject wil be laid before you.

4. Lam happy to be able to inform you that *“*The Public Schools’ Act, 1877,” has re- osived the assent of the Governor General, and is pow in full operation. Its results so iar,

gopapills thatit is difficult to tret it with tue respect due to all subjects invoiv- ing internadonal questions. As to the binding force of the award, it is naturally and necessarily one of the gravest interest, not only on account of the large amount i: - volved, but on account of the circumstances under which the decision against us was reached. Whether we should pay itis a very important question in all its bearings, and one that should be most carefully con- sidered and determined.”
