the proprietors should do. An amendment had been prepared which he thought would

be satisfactory te the tenants and advan-

tageous to the Government, but it had been submitted to the leader of the Government, | and he gave them to understand thatit would noi be acceded to. He therefore considered it useless to atlempt | amend the bill, but he would read the ameadment lo show what they desired t I _ :

* Provi ied aiwavs that such price shail

the members of such Board of referee

casion may require m the above list to supply the vacancy or vacancies so occa- sioned, and the certificate of approval by the

Board so hiied up Sildi:

and authority as if made by the refere?s orts ginally appointed.”

If something of t! nature were adopted he would support the bill, for he believed it would be satisiactory to the tenants, but he | did not think tl! ‘ou try would be satished to run the risk of having the who.e fund al the disposal of any extravagant Government | that might come into power.

Hon. Mr. Laird said there was ro provision in the! or arriving at the value of land. in U opulsory bill there was such pros

nd 1 conditions of the original

i! it-rents, dc , were to be taken into

ns ation, W i was a broad statement

leration, whici i 1 that there were dilfliculties in the way of

arriving at the true value of land; but in this bilino means were provided for over- e2ming those uifficulties. The Government were not upposed to be capable of driving as go a bargain as private individuals. They might be imposed upon and the inter- ests of the tenants would be sacrificed. The

Government had bu their unwillingness toadopt any amenamel t, and he considered that it weuid be wrong to pass the bill in tts present shape. Phey were only compeiling the Government to act upon their own pro- position by rejecting the bit wil they would adopt some means ¢ ui at the vaiue of land.

‘

preventing it from receiving the sanction of

the General Government, the rejection of this bill was likely to have that etfect, By re- jecting this bill the louse would deelare its unwillingness lo give more than 5s, sterling for Jand. Why should members say the land was worth more, an! stultify themselves by refusing the Guverninent power lo give more ? It would probably be nine or twelve months before the fate of the other bill would be known, and what were the Government to do in the meantime ia the event of any pro- prietor making a reasonable offer? No per-

son bad aright to assume tbat the Governs ment did not enjoy the confidence of the people. They woul! not be in existence, as

a Governinent, to-day, if they did not enjoy the contidence of the representatives of the people. If the compulsory bill shoula bes come law he believed the experience of work- ing it would be very considerable, and he belevet Uhat this bill was more practicable than the other. His honor from the city Mr. Ddodd) hinted that if the Government were in unison with the Legislative Council there would be no ‘ifliculiy in passing the bil. Tle (Mr, §&.) belived a strong opposis tiog Was essential to good legislation, buta fuetious opposition was acalamity.

Hon. Mr. Balderston said his opposition to the bill was not factious.. He would not place such confidence as the bill asked for in | any Government. The money was invested | now, butifit was squandered it could not be recalled. It was true that the represen- | talives of the people could censure the Govs | ernment or turn them out, but they could | noi recall their acts. He admitted that some estates were worth more than 5s, sterling an acre. but he had understood that others were not. It appeared to him that his honor who spoke last had no faith in the compulsory bill.

Hon. Mr. Dodd said that though he had | | been accused by the leader of the Government | of being factious, such was not the case, It re desire to see the tenantry

Mr. Bulger considered that the Gov- l ernment should have control of the money, land should have power to give more than '7s Gd. an acre for land if they were in earns est in the land question settled. Neither Confederation nor the railway had anything to do with this question He would not oppose any Government from fac- l tious motives. He believed it would be well to ascertain what prices the tenants would be willing to pay, but what could be done il /the Government had not the means of pur- | chasing ? lion. Mr. McEwen felt that this | occupied a responsible position. It was their | duty to guard the interests of the publie, and they allowed this bill to pass, they would | not, ia his opinion, bedoing so. It was very

having

‘tical than the compulsory bill, in his —" The |

ion the two bills were inconsistent. Government might purchase small estates at | high prices and that would be made use ol

| avainst the interests of the remaining tens |

ants. | fon. Mr. Munn represented a good many

ated, but still he eould not support the bill, | though he repudiateu the idea of opposing it | from factious motives. There was no pros— pect of purchasing at reasonable prices and

' the tenants could not derive any benelit from |

rchasing at unreasonable prices.

ilon. Mr. Wightman was willing to place any discretionary power in the hands of the | Government, but would confine them to a certain price.

On motion of Hon. Mr. Laird the President took the cbair, and the committee rose with- out reporting.

A message was brought up by Hon. Mr. Brecken informing this House that the House of Assembly had disagreed to the amend- nent toa bill to vest a portion of Govern< ment House farm to the citizens of Charlottes | town for a Park, and

lion. Mr. Dodd, on moving that this House do adjourn to their amendment, said the action of the House of Assembly reminded him of what his honor the Leader of the gov- ernment in this House said, a short lime ago, about tactious opposition. The land was granted for a tax, and because it did not suit a few individuals lo give a certain field, the citizens were to be deprived of a suitable place for recreation. He f.r one was pre- | pared to throw oulthe bill rather than ac-~ | cept the proposition of the government. The

ciuizens were only asking what was right, ;justand reasonabie. The population was , increasing, and in afew years there would be no space for breathing in the city. If the, could not get what they were asking for now, he was prepared to wait in hope that they soon would have a more reasonable | government. He understood that the gov- | ernment, in a miserable, contemptible man-

pu

;

| ner, first offered to give 33 acres, but were shamed by the opposition in the House into giving 40. He would not be so persist- entif he thought there would be a prospect of getting the seven acre field at a future

day, but he was satisfied that wherever the | line was established now it would remain for all time to come. Personally, it made no difference to him, but he

| wards to the requirements of the rising | generation. Hon. Mr. Strong said the government,

which was chiefly composed of men from the

country, had no interest in depriving the

citizens of this piece of ground. It belonged | to the country as well asto the town. He | (Mr. 8.) had not said the majority of this | louse were factious in their opposition to the bill they had just rejected, neither did he | say the amendment was opposed from factious motives.

Hon Mr. Walker considered the amend- | mentreasonable, and it was teo bad that | the citizens should be deprived of the benelits ef g suitable Park by the government per- sisting in running a crooked line. He sup- | posed it was for the benetit of the present

vovernor that the field in question had been taken off. x.e was doubtful if there was any intention of having the bill passed when it | was sent up here. | Hon, Mr. McGill remarked that as no pub- | lic interest would suffer by letting the bill | stand over till next seesion, and as no ar- | rangements were made for the city author= | ities to take charge of the ground if the bill were passed, he would support the motion of his honor from the city.

Lion. Mr. Balderson understood that the | principal opposition to the amendment was on the ground that the Crown law oflicers } were of opinion that the field propesed by / the amendment to be included in the Park | was Ordinance property. Other geatien en | of the legal profession differed from them,and he thought it would be better to wait and | have the question decided, | ‘Se motion that the Council adhere to | their amendment, passed in the aflirmative | and the bill was lost.

{ The House adjourned for one hour, and | being met, a bill to amend an act to incor-

porate the Merchants’ Marine Insurance Company was brought up from the House of Assembly and passed through the severa) stages.

At 3.30 o'clock, His Honor, Sir Robert Hodgson, Lieutenant Governor, came down to the Council Chamber, and having sum- moned the members of the House of Assembly to the Bar, assented to various bills passed through the session. His Honor then closed the session with the usual formalities.

Lincoln’s Baker Story.— Colonel Baker, who was killed at Ball’s Bluff during the late rebellion, was well known in Springfield, Iilinois, and it was of him Mr. Lincoln used to tell the following story :

Colonel Baker was very courteous to ladies, always treating them with great politeness and attention. He was starting on a jours ney at onetime, when a lady was placed in his care by an acquaintance. Now the Uols onel knew nothing whatever of this lady, but she proved to be a pleatant travelling companion, and he made her as comfortable as possible in the old stage coach. On the next morning they stopped for breakfast in Galena, and while that meal was being pre~ pared they were shown into a parlor on the second floor. Here the lady seated herself by an open window looking out on the street, while the Colonel paced the floor, with his hands folded behind him, as was his custom, for he always seemed as restless as a caged bear when confined in a room. Other pas - sengers were in the parlor, and they were speaking of some late defaulter, some blam- ing him, others saying he had done what he could to save his creditors. At last one of the gentlemen appealed to Colonel Baker, asking what he thought ofthe defaulter.

‘Think of him!’ exclaimed the Colonel, ‘Why, that he should be hung without mercy. Heis a scoundrel '

Av this the lady left her seat, and standing in front of the Colonel with flashing eyes, said, ‘ Colonel Baker, perhaps it may inter. est you to know that the gentleman you so readily condemn is my uncle!’

The Colonel ceased his walk, and giving one appealing look to his fair friend, he be~ gan lo draw off his coat, and approaching the @en window, said, ‘I have nothing more to Say, madam, but give the word, and I will throw myself from this window.’

The sacrifice was not demanded, and they continued their journey in —Editor’s Drawer,in Harper's Magazine for August,

As- suredly, when I think of this, it seenis to me to be one of the most unattainable, un- approachable pieces of human workmans ship that can be conceived.
