WISE’S RESIGNATION.

RIPIDES

Sir,—1s is rumored that the resignation of Mr. Joseph W.se was handed to the Speaker with @ condition attached, that the district must be opened at once, and that this latter condition was afterwards | withdrawn. I ask no~ asa conetitational question, Cana member withdraw either his resignation or any attached conditicm after it has been placed in the Speaker’s hande ?

Also, if, the resignations of Messre Pineauand Wise are in the Speaker’s hands does not the s'atute provide for an election “forthwith ?”
