DOMINION PARLIAMENT

eeieadinia LETTER.

| Interesting Topics--Sketches in the House.

Ortawa, Feb. 26.

In the House yesterday the time was chiefly taken up with private bills and notices of motion.

The opposition to the Alberta Railway and Coal Company culminated in a vote of the House, which divided on the amend- ment of Watson, of Marquette—Yeas, 49 ; Nays, 97. The bill was then passed.?

On the suggestion of Mr. Maulock, Sir John A. Macdonald said thas §it would be |advisable to pass a general act regulating | Loan and Distribution Companies; but it was not likely to come up this sesson.

On a second reading of a bill amending ithe act incorporating Queen’s College, ' Kingston, some debate arose as to the con- | stitutionality of the former act. It is Jike- ly to be pretty well discussed when the re- port of the Committee on Private Bills is received, forthe Opposition appeared to

for educational purposes will be opened up, and this, of course, will include the Jesuits’ estate matter of which so much is now said. Considerable feeling is felt here among the Orangemen respecting the non- interferes of the Government in this mat- ter. the Opposition are blamed just as heartily; and, although a third party is talked of, it will doubtless fare like all such propositions, and justify fhe truth of the proverb, **‘ Between two stools you come to the ground.”

Sir Hector Langevin, in reply to a ques- tion of Mr. Perry, reapecting the dredge Piince Edward, said the repairs had been | completed at a cost of $12,693. The Min- ister was not prepared to say in what har- bor the dredge would first commence work. There were several harbors claiming the cervices of the dredge, and those would be selected that were considered most pressing.

Several other notices of motion, respect- ing P. E. Island matters, were allowed to stand over.

After recess, Col. Amyot continued his speech, defending his conduct in the North west rebellion, and attacking the Minister of Militia, and made a very long speech to a very thin House. Sir Adolph Caron re- plied, defending the action of the Militia Department, and justifying his omm-conduet, |» He fiida high compliment to the worthy manner in which the officers and _ soldiers engaged in that campaign had borne them- selyes, and elicited cheers from the House when he said that if the necessity again arose, he had every confidence that Cana- dians, both French and English, would show an equally patriotic spirit. Mr. Laurier tried to make a point in favor of Col. Amyot, or rather tried to widen the gap between that gentleman and the Min- ister of Militia; but General Laurie, of Shelbourne, healed the breach by describ- ing the arduousness and necessity of the services Col, Amyot and the 9th Battalion performed, and so successfully soothed the galled honor of the French officer, that he withdrew his motion of censure.

It is said that Col. Amyot will, before long, return to his former friends, the Conservatives.

Sir Richard Cartwright will make a motion to-day, condemning the Government on their handling of the fishery question.

Influential delegations are asking the in- crease of the duty on pork and lard, and it is probable that the duty on these articles will be raised.

Sir John held out no encouragement to the millers who asked an increased duty on flour, but the lumbermen will likely get a rebate on the export duty on lumber.

The weather here is very fine, but cold. The frost makes ears and faces tingle, but the bright sunshine gives everything a pleasant look.

A murder in Lower Town, on Saturday morning, excited some interest, and two or three suspected parties have been ar- rested, Old Johnny, the lame newsboy, makes the air ring with his ‘* Morning Citizen and Montreal Witness —all aboutthe murder and coroner’s inquest.”

Among the members of the House of Commons, are many notable characters. I don’t mean men like Sir John and the Ministers, Blake, Laurier and prominent members of the Opposition. Among the rank and file of the Cunservatives, mention may be made of such men as Brown, of Hamilton, Clarke Wallace, Col. Denison, Dalton McCarthy—who, by the way, is seldom seen in his seat—Dr. Ferguson, of Welland, Sproule, W. Shanley, who lvcoks like a fine old Lrish gentleman, and Kirk- patrick. On the Opposition side, Casey, McMullen, Lister, Cook, of Simcoe, Dr. | Wilson, of Elgin, and Mulock, often claim | the attention of the House. Mr. Mulock is one of the richest men in Parliament, having an income of $40,000 a year. An- haan millionaire is the celebrated Pat | Purcell, who bought his way in at a cost, | it is said, of $59,000.

who is acquainted with Pat Ciuney, of Car- |

A good story is told of | lone occasion, when Mr. -Purcell tried to) prevent the member from Assiniboia from | voting, by setting himdrunk.

bay,” the member for Glengarry got very drunk himself, and with the utmost difii- culty reached his seat in the House, whilst Mr. Davin was as suber as ever he was.

Our Island representatives behave credit- ably in this respect. Mr. Davies hasta ‘good reputation as a debater, although his ‘flights of imagination weaken the force of his arguments. Mr. Welsh is one of the finest Jooking men in the House, but his

restlessness is * iy apparent. He has a strong yearniug for the Government benches. The remainder of the Island con-

tingent count four on adivision. That is all 1 can say in th avor. 1 was rather disappointed in the vratory of Mr. Laurier. He speaks very pleasantly and has a fine personal eppearance; but it seems ;to me that no Frenchman {can master the intri- cacies of English grammar. It spoils a speech greatly, when plural verbs are used for singular ones. Sir Adolph Caron speaks well, but his manner is affected, and when he screws his ey@-glass inte one of his eyes, the effect is not pleasant>

A Ricu Discovery.—Ten years before the war, John Gaiter, a slave owned by a small farmer near Moorfield, located a siver mine and told his master he would show him where the mine was provided he would set him free. The master refused, so the darkey never told where the silver could be found. When the war set Gaiter free, he moved with his family to Mount Pleasant, where he died some years ago, but told his son, Henry, where to find the mine. Henry has been back several times and obtained silver from the mine and had it tested. It proved ta be of the very best quality, and a company has been organized to develope the mine.

Other workmen who witnessed the accident, rushed to Lemire’s rescue, and with pick and shovel threw the earth aside. For several minutes they worked with apparently superhuman effort, until the poor man was reached, but it was too late, as life was al- ready extinct. The remains were crushed, but it is supposed that suffocation was the immediate cause of death. > ee
