Orrawa, March 9, ARBITRARY MISRULE.

At the conclusion of the debate last night— or rather this morning—the ruling party dis- played their utter disregard for the rules of the House in a most striking manner, It is a rule of the House that Mondays and Wednes- days shall be set aside for the use of private members who may have bills, motions, or other business to forward. In order to get the whole vote of its mechanical majority, the Government have given notice that they re-

, gard Sir John McDonald’s amendment to the

motion to go into supply as a ‘‘motion of want of confidence.” ‘This 1s ‘‘good play.” Mc- Kenzie knows his followers ; ed: he knows that a large proportion of them—though de- clared ‘‘Protectionists”-—will, with true Grit “independence” and ‘‘ principle,” ‘* support the Government” in snch a vote rather than give any advantage to the hated Opposition. After the motion to adjourn the debate had been moved by Mr. Palmer, seconded by Mr. Farrow, put to the House, and declared ‘‘car- ried” by the Speaker, the Premier rose and announced that, as the motion was one of ‘‘want of contidence,” he would proceed with the debate on Monday, according to the prac- tice in such cases. Several private members protested against being deprived of ‘ their day,” and pointed out that there was no pre- cedent in tue Parliamentary annals of England for so over-riding the ruler, unless the motion was one of ‘‘direct want of confidence.” Sir John Mclonald declared the Opposition did not intend, by the motion, to express a want of confidence in the Government, but only to formulate their policy upon the question of trade; and, tnerefore, that the motion was not a direct motion of want of confidence. Nor could the rule be legaily suspeaded on account of it. ‘Lhe Speaker ruled that Sir John was right, ‘Then Holton rose to move an amend- ment tothe motion to adjourn the debate. But that motion had been carried. The Speaker declared it had been carried. Pressed hard by the Government, the Speaker then de- clared that ‘‘the motion was carried by inad- vertence,’” Inadvertence is a good word. The Speaker, it will be remembered, got the print ing contract by “inadvertence ;” and it is not wonderful that when by ‘‘inadvertence” he declared a motion by ‘‘inadvertence” ‘‘ car- ried,” which had etiect of defeating the ‘little game” of the Government, he yivided to pres- sure and declared the motion ‘not carned.” St.ll there was the question whether the Gov- ernment could, in spite of the Upposition, over ride the rules of tne House, established for the protection of private members. This was agai debated. ‘lhere was the ruling of the Speaker that no precedent existed for sucha course. What wasto be done? Mr. Masson proposed that the Premier should ‘‘gracefully yleid this tiie.” ‘The Premier was dogged. ide would not yield. And the Speaker was ob- liged to violate the rules, intringe upon the rigut of private members, reverse his ruling, and announce that the debate would continue on Monday, ‘The love that Mr. Anglin bears towards the Premier will not, I fancy, be in. increased by this occurrence. Never was the brute power of a Government over a Speaker more signally displayed than when, within half an hour, Mr. Anglin was compelled to re- verse two of his rulings. but the end is not yet. ‘the Premier moved that ‘‘this House do now adjourn ;” and the keen Costigan rose and pointed out that the Speaker—having reversed his decision upon the motion to adjourn the debate—the debate was still going on. The Government and the Speaker haa evidently lost their wits as completely as they had lost allcare for the rights of Parliament. ‘The motion to adjourn the debate was then put and carried, ‘The motion that this House do now adjourn. was duly passed. The mace was lifted trom the tabie. Mr. Speaker departed to retiect in quietude of his apart nent upon the vanity of Parliamentary independence, and the members ‘‘homeward took their several ways,” musing, as they passed along the stilly street, upon tue beauties of Free Kepresenta- tive Kefurm Government as displayed under the auspicious administration of Alexander McKenzie, THE DEBATE

was upon the question of a ‘‘judicious re. adjustment of the tariff” as proposed by Sir John McDonald. ‘lhe speeches so far have all been very long. I could not possibly put fairly betore your readers even a good sum- mary of allot them. I have, however, pre- pared short abstracts of the opinions of each inember who has yet delivered himself. These { will give in my next letter.

A RESUME.

Parliament has been in Session just a month. A resume of its proceedings so far may not now be untimely or out of place. First there was the great “debate upon the Address.” This oceupied a week. ‘lhen followed a week of organization and routine work; and then came “the budget.” Not a single Government measure worthy of the name has been submit- ‘he last of our Keform Govern- ments has been so far absolutely barren. After five years of opportunity, during which no important measure—with the single exception of the Supreme Court Bill—has been passed. The Keform Party (so called) have nothing to Reform. In fact, they are alto- gether against Reform. Not a single reason they give, not a topic they handle, not an il- lustration they resort to, not a figure of speech they use, which does net prove or illustrate the position of ‘‘ No Rerokm.” All our pre- vious reformers are railingagainst the sma! lest, as against the greatest change, against the most insignificant as inst the most bene- ficial or important reform, which does not tend to add to tieir stock of political capital. Par- liament, under their regume, has degenerated intu a

rule by which, except when it suits them, they are goverred. Rules and precedents are equally powerless with right and reasun to sustain their arrogance and dis- honesty. In this campaign session

TWO IsstUes

have been clearly defined: (1) The record of the Government, (2) the question of re-adjust. ing the tariff. With respect to the first the Opposition have by the judgments of the Courts in cases of disputed elections, by the Steel Rails Scandal, by the manifest unfairness with which they at first treated O'Donoghue, with the corruption which marked his Amnesty dur. ing the height of an election contest, by de- liberate violations of faith with individaals, corporations and provinces—by a long list of lapses, blunders, deficits and abuses of trust — too numerous to mention—which they have brought forward,--demonstrated the malad- ministration, debility and incapacity of the Grit Government; and the utter groundless. ness of their claim to the respect or confidence of the electors of Canada. ‘The second issue is now being debated) I regret to note that the pernicious custom prevalent in the United States Congress of making interminable s

es to constituents under a semblance of addres. sing the House has been imported into our Legislature. W. L. C.

“ Pull Down the Flag.”

The following is the joint memorandum of Sir William Young and Judge DesBarres, read in the House of Commons, at Ottawa‘ last night, by Sir John Macdonald, to whom it has been forwarded :—

Memorandum from the Chief Justice of Nove Scotia and Mr. Justice De Barres.

The undersigned perceiving, by telegraphic despatches from Ottawa, that they were as- sailed in approbrious terms by the Hon. A. G. Jones in the debate on the Address, deem it due to their position and character to state the circumstances out of which so unexpected and so bitter an attack arose,

In August, 1869,the then Governor General, Sir John Young, was expected at Halifax on official visit. it was the first official visit of Her Majesty’s Representative since the pass-

seof tne Dominion. A meeting was called by the Mayor to make arrangements for the reception of His Excellency, and the Judges of the Supreme Court, having conference. to- gether, thought it their duty to attend and take part in the proceedings. They went, therefore, in a body to the City Council Cham- ber. in the course of the discussion that en- sued, Mr. Jones addressed the meeting, using very warm language, to which the judges lis- tened in silence tili he uttered these words— “when the British flag is hauled down from

the citadel hill I shall take off my hat and cheer.” Four of the nip the late Judge Johnston, the

Judge Dodd, the Chief Justice and

Judge DesBarres, at once rose from their seats and left the room without saying a word, but to mark their strong disapprobation of so dis- loyal a sentiment. This tact was witnessed and the objectionable speech was heard by @ crowded audience, and if any one were daring enovgh to question so memorable an occur- rence it could be easily and abundantly proved. That it was everywhere discussed and instant- ly found its way into the press was an un- avoidable consequence, nor is it to be wonder- ed at that the Lieutenant Gevernor, Sir Has-. tings Doyle, should desire to hear from the Judges themselves the expression used by Mr. Jones, which had led them to leave the meet- ing.

Ww e, neither of us, ever heard of Sir Hastings Doyle’s letter to Dr. Tupper before its recent publication. We must confess therefore our astonishment that Mr. Jones, after the lapse of so many years, should have attacked us without notice in the House of Commons and stigmatized an incontrovertible fact asa foul slander.

As for the further charge that the Chief Justice misled Sir Hastings Doyle, that was a thing not easily done, and it was certainly never attempted by him.

The Cunard Fleet as Ships of War.

No greater evidence possibly could be af- forded of Great Britain's resources as a mari- time Power thaa the readiness with which Mr. John Burns, as the representative of the Cun- ard Company, has placed at the disposal of the British Government several ships ot their mag. nificent fleet. Those who estunate the mari- time strength of Britain simply by the number of ships in the Royal Navy throw out of their calculation the numerous and ‘powerful mer. cantile marine which can be utilised in a few hours’ notice. The vessels of the Cunard Company are well known to be second to none in the world. Possessing a high rate oi speed, they would be singularly adapted as auxiliar- ies to the iron-clads, while for blockading pur- poses and pursuing and capturing an evemy’s ship, they would prove invaluable. in the case of one vessel, Mr. Burns offers to make such alterations as may be necessary for her equipmcnt with heavy guns, simply stipula. ting the Admiralty shall return the vessel to her former state when her services are dis. pensed with, and pay for her use only from the date of her commission, according to such rate 2s the Government may think proper to allow. This very patriotic otter does infinite credit to a distinguished shipping firm, and will, we are sure, be at the same time suitably acknowledged and accepted by the Govera- meat, should it yet be necessary to adopt vig- orons action in the East. —stntlpaaitiittiiaalsitaal

An Ottawa despatch says:—In the Senate Divorce Committee, Mr. Fisk, called as a wit- ness in the Johnson case, admitted to having been criminally intimate with Mrs. Johnson. The evidence in the Hunter case shows that the man, a young farmer, married his neigh- bor’s daughter love; she accepted him at the solicitation of her parents and left him ina week and lived since with a former lover in Toronto. No defence is made in either case.
