representation of the country districts in in the Legislative Council. But a desperate attempt will undoubtedly be made to secure the return of the Provincial Secretary and Treasurer. The Government doubtless imagine that the City is not in sympathy with the country. The City will, we are fully convinced, show them that they are wrong. Messrs. Davies and Stewart doubt- less imagine that the personal popularity of Mr. Dodd will outweigh in the minds of electors the detestable acts of their Un- speakable Combination. Messrs. Davies and Stewart never were more mistaken. The electors will rise in their might and cast Mr. Dodd from them— not because Mr. Dodd is, of himself, cap- able of doing any harm,—but because he is the one man who holds the Combination to-

tional orthodoxy was feared. But at least it may be said for Mr. McKenzie that he did not cling, as long as he might have lone, to the power of providing for his aeedy and unruly followers. The Liberal Sonservatives of Canada have for some -ime back been persuaded that the hour ei their victory was near at hand. Their or- sanization was perfect, they had no_ inter- ial divisions to reconcile, the authority of cheir party leaders was universally recog- aized and obeyed. Sir John McDonald is as indisputably at the head of his party in Canada as the late Lord Derby was, and as Lord Beaconsfield i3,at the head of the Conservatives at rome, Sir John McDonald, moreover, ias the advantage of being backed by.a oand of colleagues experienced equally in idministration and debate. The weakness f the McKenzie Ministry in debating pow- ar was very remarkable in the last Parlia- uent, and now that several of its ablest nembers have been excluded from the

London Correspondence of the Dublin Free- man’s Journal,

All the English papers have missed any notice of a grand assembly of Chiefs, which Shere Ali conveked in his capital at the com- mencement of September, and which read by the light of recent facts, shows that even then he was contemplating the humiliation of the British envoys, and the prospect of a contlict with England. Forty-two of the Chiefs who acknowledge his supremacy were received in a camp specially erected for the accommodation of themselves and their followers. T'wo days after their arrival Shere Ali, with his Generals, Ministers, and leading ulemas, proceeded in state to the Camp, and was hailed with enthu- siastic rejoicings. He announced to them that the Padisha of all the Russians, Oskander (Alexander), had sent him an Ambassador to draw closer the bonds of friendship which al- ready existed between the Russians and the Afghans, and he asked them if they would re- ceive that Embassy with pleasure. Some- thing corresponding to a prolonged “‘ hear, hear’ of our own House of Commons was the

This prime reason for defeating Mr. Dodd is supplemented by many others equally cogent. Mr. Dodd has deliberate- ly violated the law to secure the independ- ence of Parliament. He has sold glass, register grates and many other articles to the Government, in glaring contravention of the law. This has been demonstrated again and again; and not an iota has been urged in his defence. Moreover, he is guilty of a flagrant violation of the law in taking office while he still remains at the head of the firm of Dodd & Rogers. Here is the law. Can anything be more clear :—

And be it enacted that from and after the

iration of twelve months from the passage

of this Act it shall not be lawful for any per-

son holding the office of Treasurer of this

Island to engage, directly or indirectly, in trade or commerce ; nor shall

the public moneys for premium or profit on pain of forfeiting to His Majesty, in either of the above cases, the sum of five hundred

unds and being ever after rendered incapable} Ganada have learned during their exclusion

of holding the said office of Treasurer.”

We need not, of course, refer to the plac- | compensate for the loss of character

ards on the Provincial Building to prove that Mr. Dodd is still carrying on a busi- ness of his own; and that being the case he has, by accepting the office of Provincial Treasure, not only forfeited ,his seat in the Legislative Council, but also a fine of £500 and the privilege of never again,under any circumstances, being Provincial Treasurer ! When it is remembered that Mr. Dodd’, opponent, Mr. Longworth, is a man of the highest respectability and popularity, the action of the electors, on the 14th of No- vember, need hardly be indicated. Mr. Dodd will, on that day, pay the just pen- alty of his offences; and the Unspeakable Combination will be shattered to pieces.

A short paragraph quoted from the Hamilton Spectator in the Examiner has

unduly excited the Patiiot. The paragraph,

such person, at | adians are beginning to see that solemn pro- any time, now or hereafter, exchange any of|fessions are of little worth, when measured against a practical course of conduct to

wainst the array of able politicians who ac- cept the leadership of Sir John McDonald. Dr. Tupper and Mr. Tilley, Mr. Langevin id Mr. Pope, are all men who could make their way to the front in politics in any country; and though they shared more or less in the discredit which fell upon their chief when the Pacific Railway scandal was brought to light, they have since redeemed their characters. The Canadian people, in- deed, are somewhat disgusted with poli- ticians of the Joseph Surface type, who were unctuously exultant over the over- chrow of the McDonald Cabinet in 1873. Che illusion that Conservatism meant cor- cuption, and Liberalism the exact contrary, | was dispelled by the practical experience which the Dominion has had of Mr. Mc- Kenzie’s Government. There have been scandals not less grave thau that of the Pacific Railway contract, even under the reign of the Liberal purists. The Can-

which self-interest and party spirit give the direction. If the Liberal-Conservatives of

from office that no party advantage can

which jobbery involves, they have a career of bright promise before them now. The Liberal Opposition is enfeebled vnd disunited, and has no policy upon which it can hope to close its ranks and strengthen its position again. Its more ex

treme members, who have hitherto been kept in restraint by the obligations of office, will now be tempted to say and do injudi- cious things, and to alarm the patriotism and loyalty to the Dominion. For we must not forget that it is in the ranks of the party of which Mr. McKenzie is the leader that the spirit of disloyalty still lurks, if it is anywhere to be found. This was the spirit which animated the Canadian reels of a generation ago, which exulted over the murder of D’Arcy McGee, and which re- vives from time to time the idea of annex- ation to the United States. Fortunately we have the most conclusive evidence that the Canadian people at large utterly abhor and reject this spirit, in all its manifesta- tions; and if the Opposition should betempt- ted to tamper with it they will only confirm Sir John McDonald’s authority throughout the Dominion. A majority of seventy in a House of 206 members is the best security

or Minister of Justice, to inform the Assembly of the power and might of the Russians, and the extent of their country,so that the Afghans might learn what a great Empire they had to support them, and then resuming his speech he said . ‘‘ Go back to your brethren, file your sabres, sharpen your swords, and saddle your horses, so that you may be able to enter on the campaign well armed, in case you are call- ed upon to meet the enemies of your country.’ The Ameer then re-entered his capital. Dur- ing two days his Ministers and the Chiefs of the tribes deliberated on the subjects of finance and the military forces of the country, and on the 6th day after their arrival the Chiefs retuaned to their homes to make war- like preparation. This is the recital published by a military correspondent to the Vienna Fren.denblatt,and, as the durbar took place be- fore the stoppage of the British mission, there can be no doubt that the Ameer has been long preparing for war with Great Britain.

Ir is a singular thing that in Switzerland, the country always quoted as the most pros- perous, industrious and thrifty in the world, there are less blind people in proportion to the population than in any other European country, and more deaf mutes, idiots and lunatics.

Forty years ago the Duke of Wellington pointed out the fact that the Indian Em- pire could only be assailed by means of Afghanistan, and that it was terrible task for Russia ever to attempt. To-day Russia seems inclined to venture the danger, but England’s position is ten times stronger and her frontier much better guarded.
