The grant to the Tudian Teacher at Lennox | Island elicrt-d a few remarks from several | at finding from the report of the Indian Com- | missioner that the Indian School was proving | 4 sucersa, And thatthe progress made by | the young Inaians in learning would compare favorably with the other echools of the Colony.

Hon. Attomney General preseated to the House the Accounts of the Commissionar of Pubiic Lands, and also the Reports of the Taree School Visitors for the past year.

The Visitor fur Queen's County remarks that since his appointment in June last, be visited all the Pab! ¢ Schoole in the County numbering 163, every one of which was sup- plied with a teacher Very few Boards of Trustees visit schuale as required by law The number of Pupile on School Registers in Queen s County 6623, namely 3633 boys and | 2935 gitis Dai'y average attendance at schon 3933.

But few of the children of the middle or high- er classes attended the City Public Schoois At the Norma! School, there were in attend ance during the term ending last July, 55 Pupi! Teachers. 28 of whom were jemates, and 27 males. For the present term there eae 35 pupil wachers 18 females and 17 mules S‘adents at the Normal School were }learning that which they should have ac- quired before leaving the District Schools, and not acquiring a knowledye of the art ol teaching. The Visitor for King’s Coanty re- ports the number of schools in that County 92; pupils registered, 3126 ; present at ex-| emmation, 1917. The Visitor for Prince | | County reports 8591 pupils in the districts ol whem 3070 were enrolled; avera se daily attendance at seheols 1890. Ali the visitors lecomplain of the apathy of School Trustees generaily, relative to the neglect of the dis- charge ot their duties, and their reports con- tein many valuaile suggestions relative to the interests cf t e Education of the Colony. Lion. Mr Davies said that he bad placed 2 notice on the Order Book, relative to the | introduction of @ measure for the final settle: | ment of the Land Question. but as a similar | measure was before the British Parliament touching the Irish Land Tenures, he woa d defer amy further action un il mext session, That a Bill eush as the Terant Compensa tion Act, was loudly called for, could not be idenied. It way the duty of the Legisluture ‘to see that absentee proprietors be compelled ito pay their lull share of the burdens of tue ‘Colony. He (Hon. Me Davies) then enver- led fully into the Land Question, and said that the best efforts of the triends of the people from tithe to time, w re rendered abortive by the counteracting tfluence of the proprietury fection in the Coluny, backed up by Colonial Gove: nors aid Downing Street. The extent to which the hostility of that faction at one |

time was carried could be shown from the | fact that members of tie Assembly were im- prisdtied for expressing the views und wishes of their ‘constituents on the fluor of that House. He alluded’to his resignat'on of his seut.in the Executive Udunei!! and said that he could not consistently” remain &t a Board jwhere his views abd the Wishes of a large [portion of thé reopfe conld ifot be regarded. It was humiliating,* € say’ that the whole Legistarure of the Islnd was compelled to submit to te dictum of Downing Street. Out Pafliament was but & farce, waen pro prietorsdnd (heirubet’ ors could set at defiance the best measures of the peoplés’ ‘representa- tivee. Our bousted powers and independance were bot a mere shadow under the cuntrol of Colonial Governors, and Home Secretaries, And it appeared that now, the people, in acdition to all their burdens, were called upon to pay the Governor’s'Salary, a further token of the injustice inflicted on the Colony. Hon. Att’y. General eaid that merely placing a notice in the Order Book, did not lentitle bon. members to a discussion on any subject. It were better, thereforey to defer the debate till the questior of paying the Governors’ Salary would come up in proper ‘order. While admitting that gross ir justice had been done to the people of th¢ Isiut.d by the rejection of several weasures ca'catated té ‘better their condition, yet he could not agree with the views of ‘he hon. Mr. Davies,

desires, that therefore, we mast leave the Goveroment. The proprietory systea was

Her Majesty's Government desired that the Commiviee should be treated with all proper ‘courtesy and furnished trecly with such bons _ fide information as cou!d properly be imparted _to them ; but that it wae anfortunate tu allow the discussion which took place to aseame the _€ppearance of a negotiation between a Colo- mal Government and tho Representatives of 'a Foreign Logislative body. Such isolated | negotiations with individual Colonies were ‘Open to most serious objection, especially | when they catend=d to matters affroting in~ | perial interests, and alee the interests of the

wrong was infiscted upon the Colony by the | braneles of this Legislature, adopted in 1865 Jesty’s Government was not prepared at pre-

mode in which its lands were granted away, and now when the Government were trying to free. the people from the ineubus of Landlordism, they were most unjustly called upon by the Home Uflice to provide a Salary! for the Lieutenant Governor, prompted no doubt by Canadian influence, and perhaps backed up by Governor Dundas. He then alluded to the ignorance of Secretaries of

knowledge of the local wants and require ments of this Colony. We were, however, not far from a great power and airee people, with whom ere long we would have recipro- city. He commended Hon. Mr. Davies for resigning his seat at the Executive Board ; no spirited man would hold his seat at a Board where its head arrogated to himself the exercise of power beyond that of his Royal Mistress. It was well Known that a large n unber of the yeomanry of Queens Jounty were proscribed, and the wishes of the Executive thwarted relative to the ap- pointment of officials. Was such an inter ference with the people’s rights, he would ask, in accordance with the principles of re sponsible Government. Shculd war break out ia Europe, the policy of the Home Gov ernment toward her Colonies would perhaps be changed. It they had starved Newfound land and driven her peopls intu Confederation, it was not bonvrable for any Lieutenant Gove:nor to be trying to tie us tc a country with which we could exchange nothing. He hoped the day was not far distant when we wou!d be free from such serfdom and restrictive policy, and have free trade with a free people. He also censured the interference of Governor Dundas relative to Free Trade | negotiations, and said that the uiter ignor ance of Colonial Governore touching the wants and interests of the [sland reminded hua of the words of the poet who exclaimed : ** An idot race, to honor lost Who kuow them best, despise them most.”

Mr. P. Sinclair said, that if the couduct o! the Lisutentant Governor \ras such as wae represented by hon. members, he would not attempt any justiiication of the course pur- sned by the Governor. As to the Land Question, he would observe that the only means for settling that question finally was on the prinerple of a compromise. such as had already to a great extent proved succesful.

House adjourved.

Mr. MeNeill presented u Bill to incorporate the Wheatiy River Lime Company. Re. evived and read.

Hoo Mr Davies presented a petition from divers inhabitants on the Selkirk Estate, setting forth that by the last amendment to the Land Purchase Bill, all occupants in urreurs are stilistable to be distrained uj on, thereby causing a depreciation in the vaiue of

many honest settiers; that those in arrears on the Selkirk Estate might be discharged trom further payment for their lands without injury to others, on the grounds that no in justice would thereby be done to those who paid up for their lands ; that thuse whu have not raid ap may sa'ely be regarded as unable to do 80, they balding land of inferior quality, on the rear settlements, and

aving large sod weak families ; that to enforce the law insuch cases would prove un- proficable,and only result in compelling many to abandon their farms tvo seek shelter in other countries, Petition received and read.

and 1868, and stili adhere to the opinions therein expressed, that this Legislature should not have been required to provide for the payment of the sad Salary, but after due consideration of the present position of the matter under the terms of the said despateh, they are of opinion that provision should now be made for payment of the Salary of the Lievtenant Governor or other Administrator of the Goveroment of this {sland after the present Lieut. Governor Mr. Dundas shall relinquish his offve.

lion. Mr. Uaviland followed, and said that he was opposed to making provision for the payment of the Governors Salary, until a third remonstrance was made. It was unjust to urge the same reasons aga‘net us as in the other Colonies, for they had many resources which we had not. We had no Crown Lands, Mines, por Minerals from whicn +o pay that salary, and in the time of King George LIL, the Imperial Government grant- ed away all the Lands of this Colony, in one day, to sailors and suidiers, who had claime on the mother country; and when the Civil List Bill was passed, it was mutually agreed upon between this Colony and the Im- perial Government that the latter would pay the Governors Salary. The Home Govern ment was therefore morally and legally bound to pay it. His remarks, he said, might

'be viewed with distrust becauss of his views

on Confederation, but he always held that it would be the heightof poliutiesl folly to fu:ce that question apon the people of this Colony wnul they were prepared for it. Le could not for one moment believe the [m- rial Goeverument would force us into Con- tederation against the will of our people,

| because we woold not yieid to an unjust de-

taund in resisting whien we bad right on our ede. He would, therefore, submit as an amevdment to the Resolution of the Hon. Attorney Generel, the following, viz:

Resolved that another joint Address cf the Lesislauve Couaei aad House of Aesemb y be forwarded to the Impcrial Government, setting forth the injustice of this Coleny be- ing compelled to pay the Salary of the Lieut. Governor out of its local resources after the injurous Act of the Government of King George the Third, in granting away thie Township Lands of the Volony to 123 indi- vidaais who had pecuniary claims on the Mother Country, and praying the British Government to reconsider their determination, us eet forth in Lord Granville’s Despatch.

lion. Mr. McAulay—The time would come when we tust pay the salary in question, but, to be ezlied upon to do so now was con- trary to the spirit of the compacs entered into when Responsible Guvernment was ceded to this Colony.

Hon. Mr. Duncan said, the Imperial Gov- ernment was not using the Colony properly in demanding the paysaeat of the Governor's Sulary, and if be considered that we would

not be fureed into Confederation by refusing \to pay it he would be for making another

appeal against the injustice done. to the! Coluny oa this question, bat under’ presen: | circumstances, he would not withhold bic; support from the resolution of. the Hen. Attorney General. ;

lion. Mr. Henderson—The Ilome Govern- ment would not so degrade its own character asto perpetrate an act of such gross injustice as to’ put this Colony inty Confederation against our will; because’ we remon- strated a third time against submitting to tie payment of the Governor’s Salary, He was satisfied that if the British people knew our position they would not give their consent to such treatment as the despatch pointed out, calling upon us, very unjustly, to pay that which by the Civil List Brli com pact was to be defrayed by the Home Govern- ment.

Mr. Prowse concurred with the sentiments expressed by the Hon. Att'y General, and siid the couree prreued by the Home Govern ment, would tend to alienate the affections | and aff-et the loyalty of the neople of this | Colony inno small degree. In the adjoining | Province of Nove Seotia, where one flag was | raised on the first of July lust, in honour of the | New Dominion, there were ten floating in the Fourth of July, shewing the feeling of «|

| people thrustinto Vonfederation againet we

wil.

Hon. Mr. Davies—Thers was something ominous.iu the words of the despatch in question, which implied that if we did not

| provide for the salary of the Governor, the

| sent to take any steps in ucnoe of this |Report of the Executive Council of this Ie- ‘land; that if, however, in course of time there should be a possibility of a general arrangement between the United Siates and the North American.Colonies, the suggestions

‘eontained in that Report would be borne in mind by Her Majesty’s Government.

Mr. McNeill presented a Petition, fi divers inhabitants of ‘Lots 23 an* etting

forth that the Act regulating Pees chatged by members of the Bar and officers of the | Superior Courts of Law in this Island. re- quired to be amenéed with the v.ew of moderating and defining the Fees charged by said parties.

Received and read, and referred to a Com- mi*tee.

On motion of Hon. Attorney General the Heuce went into QCommittes on a Vasalutian to take into consideration the advisthility of placing a sum not exceeding £35,000 at the disposal of the Government for the of purebasing Proprietary Estates without limit as to price. In introducing the mea- sure he said that the purchases effected, ander a similar bill last session, met the approval of the country, and as no injadicious ase had been made of the grant of jast session, he hoped the House would support a further ex- penditure for like purposes. Some 400,069 acres were still in the hands of the Proprie- tore, some of whom had made offers to sell, bence the necessity of giving extended powers to the Government to enable them to continua purchasing lands that might be offered on reasonable terms,

Mr. Peter Sinclair hoped the Government would continue te act as judiciously in the future as they had in the past,in baying lands under the provisione of the Bill under consideration. There were tenantry whose preprietors would not eell under the provision of the Land Purchase Bill. In order, there- fore, to place the Government in a position to purctase lands that might offer for eale, it wos necessary to give them power to act.

Mr. Howat would support the Resolution, and hoped every economy would be used in expending the sum placed at the disposal of the Government; and he sincerely trasted that Lot 19 would be among the Estates that would be bought by the Goverament,

Hon. Mr. Davies said, the tore refused to sell on reasonable terms. Tevants having ehort leases in some parte of the

District which he represented, and also on the East River, woald soon be in the hands of the proprietors, some si whom threatened al- ready that the terms on which new lesees wenld be granted were to be at £2048

rent, and £100 to be paid down on receiving such new leases, Some measure should be adopted similar in principle to the Tenant Compensation Bill, by which farmers would be allowed for their improvements. Such a law existed in“England, and lis could see no just grounds against ite adoption here.

Hon. Mr. Coles said, when he introduced the Tenant Compensation Bill 76. 6d. en acre was the highest sum paid for iands, but the placing of an extended power is the Govern- mont would enable them to deal with the proprietors more effectually, and exercise tkeir discretion as to the rates at which to effect purchases, Thee might be sone choice spots worth 13s, per acre, bu: much of the lands in the bande of the proprietors were worth ve | 7s 6d- oe no use to try compensation nor compu'sory measures ciet He hoped that with the mecns about to be placed in their hands, the Government would wipe out the remainj fragments vf the Land Question. r were pee and beautifull yless. as Pope's & Havilund’s estates had beer bougee since ast tacek na Be ingratied Palmer were dis to sel]. | it that those poor tenants in his District,

alluded to by the Hon. Mr. Davies, were not likely to be benefisted hy the weesu! akpal to be passed, as their proprietoss ev no disposition to sell. He hoped, however, the

whole Land Question would ere. finally settied.

Hon. Attorney Geoeral, Hon. Mr, Havi- land, and Hon. Mr. Laird conearred with the sentiments expressed by the Hon Colonial Secretary, and complimented him on the very excellent tone of his remarks, They severa'ly expressed the hope that the ineumbue would | soun be removed, and that the odiam attach-
