Whereas, During the present session « f the} General Assembly this House did join with |

the Legislative Council in a testimenial to Her Siajesty the Queen, praying

Majesty's most gracious intervention in order | sr otf Assembly to the contrary notwith-

| standing, Mr Farquharson says THE | EXAMINER’s charges can only be treated

to obtain from the Government of Canada a fulillment of the terms upon which this t+ bound entered the ¢ onfederation im resp ‘ct to

mmunication with the mainland, and also the payment of compensation to this Province

for the loss sustained by its people in consee |

rence of the failure of the D yminion Govern nt to earry out the said terms, and : j unt address of both Houses has been adopted, requesting His Honor the lieutenant Gov ernor to forward the said memorial to His

Exeelleney the Governor General for trans m:as21en to He r May sty the (Jueen,

1 Whereas, Since the adoption of the said memorial and address an insurrection has un-

fortunately been incited in the North-west Provinces, whereby net only the peace and

fare of the Dominion have been disturbed, bat the lives and prepe rty of its citizens are endangered, while some of Her Majesty's sub-

ts have met their death in bravely en- deavoriog to uphold the authority of the British Crown

And Whereas, This House recognizes the paramount obligation of the G-neral Govern- ment to suppress lawlessness a’ d rebellion, an’? it is the imperative duty of every British subject to assist the constituted authorities in

the restoration of quietness and vood order, ani in the maintenance of the Queen’s su- premacy

Therefore Resolved, This House unwilling to

embarass the General Government while eccupied with matters of such weighty mo- ment to the Empire. and looking to a speedy termination of the insurrection,desire to post pone for the present the carrying out cf the constitutional means by which it seeks to re- dress a grievance of the people of this Pro- vince, and request His Honor, the Li-utenant- (;overnor, not to forward the same memorial until such time, during the appro ching Legislative recess, as, in the opinion, of his advisers, shall be deemed opportune.

[He above resolution was submitted to the Legisiature yesterday by the Leader ot the Government, and it passed the l'pper House unauimously and the Lower House on divison. This action of the Legislature will, we are sute, commend itself to the good sense and the good teel- ing of the community. It is qnite evident that there could hardly be a more jaopportune time than the present for forwarding the Address. With the

by him with silent contempt. A policy of silence would, no doubt, under the circumstances, have been the best Mr,

| Farquharson could have pursued. Now

that Mr. Farquharson has spoken for himself, and made his position rather worse than better, we can see the ad vantage which the rule of court,imposing silence upon a prisoner at the bar, is to ous who is guilty.

—When will some future great author write about Charlottetown as George Eliot wrote about Nassau :—

‘June is so far gone, that by the ime | you get this letter you will surely have soe | result of the examination to tell me of ;|

and I can’t bear to deprive myself of that news by not letting you know where we are. ‘In Paradise,’ George says; but the Paradise is in the fields and woods of beech and fir, where we walk in uninterrupted solitude in spite of the excellent roads and delightful resting-places, which seem to have been prepared for visiters in general. The promenade, where the ladies-—chiefly Russian and German, with only a small sprinkling of English and Americans —dis- play their ornamental petticoats and various hats, is only the outskirt of Paradise ; but we amuse ourselves there for an hour or 80 in the early morning and evening, listening to the music, and learning the faces of our neighbors. There is a deficiency of men, children, and dogs, otherwise the winding walks, the luxuriant trees and grass, and the abundant seats of the promenade have every cllarm one can expect at a German bath. We arrived here last Thursday, after a fortnight spent in Belgium and Holland ; and we still fall to interjections of delight whenever we walk out—first at the beauty of the place, and next at our own happiness in not having been frightened away from it by the predictions of travellers and hotel keepers, that we should find no one here— that the Prussians would break up the rail- ways, etc., etc.,—Nassau being one of the

HOW APPLEGARTH ESCAPED,

Geo. Applegarth, farm instructor at

slaughtered by the Indians has arrived at (Ju'Appelle with his wife and sister. He had not the first intimation of trouble un- itil the Indians raided the house at 3 a. m., on Tuesday, 3ist ult. They disarmed and

Battleford, he said, was guarded by In- lians, and if he dared to go near the placs he would certainly be killed. He Was | | pursued by Indians for two days, but over- | 'taking Judge Rouleau and party, who left | | Battleford two days before, the redskins |gave up the chase. He confirms the report- ed pillage and looting of the town of Battleford. He heard before leaving that the indians in the Battleford district were six miles northwest from Battleford. They steted that they expected to be joined by | 3,000 Sioux from the American side of the line

NEWS FROM THE FRONT,

| The Toronto Mail's Fort Qu’Appelle | special of the 7th says: ‘From all that we | can gather here Riel is greatly disappointed | He had expected a general movement of indians and half-breeds from the American frontier just below Wood Mountains, to- gether with a general Indian uprising. There is no doubt that the Indians in the Northern country are with him, but action of the American authorities has semmarily cut off his hopes of assistance from the south of the line. Itis now generally believed, therefore, that while he may mike a show of resistance at or near Clarke's Crossing, he will not attempt a stand-up fight with the troops. Inall probability he will beat a retreat across the north Saskatchewan into the northern forest and General Middleton must abancon pursuit. This vast forest consists of beech, poplar, birch aud hazel, with dense underbrush and buifalo grass, and is utterly impassable for trocps. The idea is that the rebel chief will remain in this shelter and endeavor to patch up terms with the Dominion Govern: ment, the prime condition being that they shall accept the heads of his bill of rights. As the Government cannot, of course, treat with a rebel in arms, Riel will doubtless be compelled to spend the summer in the forest, unless he can give the troops the

Leod have given great uneasiness. Be- yond a doubt the Cos Ventres Indians are north of the international boundary on the warpath. The south Piegan and Bloods have undvuubtedly formed an_ alliance. Tobacco from the Riel Indians to the Gros Ventres was some time ago accepted by the latter, thus showing that Riel has laid a deep conspivacy in which the Milk Liver

Indiaus will play an important part. Capt. |

Stewart belteves that watters are looking very bad in his district. He will probably await the arrival of arms and ammunition

for his district. These wll be sent under ;

escort. The women and children and those incapable of bearing arms are flocking to Fort MacLeod for protection. Colonel Strange is in constant communication with threatened points and he is doing the utmost to put everything in his district on a defensive basis. The Bleckfeet did not meet Capt. Cotton at the crossing to-day according to agreement and this looks ominous. Application to military head- quarters has been made to send troops to this district immediately. Sergt. Gragzen,

lof the mounted police, was sent to Fort

MacLeod with important despatches. A courier is expected on the 8thfrom there, but up to the hour of sending this despatch he had not arrived. Col. McLeod is at Fort MacLeod. He has great influence with the Bloods, but they are acting ugly.

left in his hands to impress upon the federal officers the fact that no indul- gence willbe granted by the Executive to these who violate the law or neglect public duty.”

After citing the causes of this suspen- sion, which were, Ist, the failure to make regular returns of the Money Order Department, 2ud, the most dis.. gracetul confusion inthe accounts of the office, aud 3rd, the throwing the blame on individeal officials, President Cleve- jand concludes :—

‘*f shall do all that is in my power to rid the public service of cflictials who exhibit such loose ideas of their duty to the Govern- ment The f; that i have before me documents signed by many residents of the city where tlis postmaster is located, and who belung to both political parties, assert- ing their entire confidence in his honesty and fidelity, demonstrates the unfortunate facility with which such papers may be ubtained, and gives rise to an unpleasant suspicion touching a too prevalent standard of political honesty.”

Postmaster-General Vilas adds that,—

“The present may he a_ good opportunity to say that from some evidence _ before him he believes ® notion to be prevalent and the practice to be general accordingly that postmasvers should have allowances for clerks sufficient to enable the business of their offices to be transacted chiefly by them, while the postmaster himself, though the best paid, should he required to give no personal labor beyond a general supervis- wp. Itis the intention of the department to make acareful scrutiny of these allow- ances and reduce them, when necessary, materially, requiring the postmaster to give his personal time and attention to the duties of the office and assist in their per- formance, except in those few larger offices where his time may be necessarily required in general supervision. It is believed that by such a course the public wiil be much better served and that a considerable re- duction in the annual expenditures of the departinent may be realized.”

Mr. Farquharson’s Letter.

KReADING between the lines of his let- ter, one cau easily see that Mr. Far- qubarson regrets his declaration that he hoped “thousands of Fenians would cross the border” and ‘sweep the country, ete. But he is rather unfor- tuuate in the terms he uses. He inti- mates that he will not contradict “ such trash” as has appeared in Tne Ex- AMINER with respert to him—* such trash’ being his owo words—and a few

The Teacher's Institute.

Those whe attended the Teacher’s lnsti- tute last evening enjoyed a rich intellectual treat. Prof. Mellish, Principal cf the Upper Prince Street School, read a paper ou ‘‘Education.” Inthe most chaste and eloquent language he portrayed the power of education to lift man above the rauk of the savage or the brute, and to endow him with happiness. He instanced Moses, as an educated man, being selected to lead the Israelites, and St. Paul as one of the greatest of the apostles. He adverted in glowing terms to the glories of the classics, and showed how they have survived the surroundings that inspired the noblest gems of ancient literature, how deeply our language is indebted to the Greek and Latin, and what a great incentive their study is to patriotism. He outlined the great value of Mathematics as applied to all the cailings of life, and as a means of mental discipline, and briefly treated of Natural Science, Geology, Astronomy, Chemistry, Philosophy, etc., in their rela tion to every day life. The Prdfesser then spoke of the wide field of study opened up in the realms of history, as a faithful record and mirror of past ages, and as p»inting out the rocks and shoals upon which nations and individuals have foundered He then adverted to the depth and genius of English literature, the beautiful in ar’, music, etc , a3 pleasant roads to learning. He wished tuo see a deeper love of country inculeated in the minds of the young, and referred to tbe way in which the youth of the Uaited States are taught to reverence their nationality, and, while ridiculing the idea of annexation, thought we might well imitate their teach- ing of patriotism, and thus help to make the fuiure of Canada a bright one. He deplored the fact that too many of our young people read a vast amount of trash, which he considered about the only darg«r we had to fear from the United States. He concluded a very excellent paper by advert- ing to the advances made by religion and education in P. E Island, and their tri- umphs over the difficulties of the past ; by ® comparison of the school systems of the United States and Canada; and by a reference to the high>r education uf woman, and her ability to cope with man in classics and mathematics.

At the conclusion of Prof. Meilish’s eloquent paper, speeches were made by Messrs. J. McSwain, Dr Leeming, Alex. McKinnon and L. Miller, all of whom dwelt particularly on the noble and patriotic sentiments awakeved by the lec- turer, and on the necessity of inculeating, in our literature and our schools, deeper lessons of loyalty to our country, and a firmer faith in her future.

| Chief Factor McDonald says :—-The Me- Leod district seems to be all quiet and friendly. Wanbedesca, chief of the Min- nesota Sioux, near Brandon, is reported as being in & suzly mood. He would not allow four of his band, who were employed by the Government as guides, to go west. He says two thousand soldiers are not enough to meet the Crees, who will proba. bly all fight. A Medicine Hat despatch of the 7th inst. says the water in the river there is very low, only about 22 inches, but ariver captain says there is sufijcient to run the boats down the stream. A man from Red Lake reports that the water is high from that point down. Orews for the steamboats have arrived, and all the boats are ready to go. The arms and ammunition have also arrived, and the town is now well protected. Scouts are out night and day. Advices to the Hudson Bay Company from Prince Albert indicate that the town 1s well protected from attack, but provisions are short. Further accounts of the Duck Lake fight confirm the report given by Gordon. ‘The rebels were at first beaten off, but the police ammunition gave out and the enemy rallied when their fire (did the most deadly work. One account says Chief Beardy commenced the en counter and was shot by a volunteer. But this is regarded as improbable. There is no authoritative statement of the rebel loss in the fight. A Brander despatch says : Intelligence was received in the city on Friday that a young Indian disguised as an old man, having goggles on and carry- ing himself in a crouched position in the bottom of his jumper passed through Elton on the 7th, having three packages of rifles, ten ineach sleigh. He was going west. Elton is about ten miles east of Brandon. Telegraphic reports give intelligence of un- usual movements among the numerous bands of Indians scattered through central and western Manitoba. The Oak lake Indians have left their reserve and the few old equaws who remain behind say they have gone to fight. Some of the Indian bands who live on Lake Manitoba and tributary streams have also moved out and most of them are at present concentrated in the vicinity of Minnedosa, much to the alarm of the citizens and setilers in that district. The Indians are said to be acting boldly at the H. B. Co.’s post at Strathelair, Bran- don and Minnedosa are under the protec- tion of a home guard as well as this town. A Sioux squaw has told at the houses of some of the old settlers that the Indians say they wish the old settlers would go across the river, so that, in case anything should happen in the portage, they, the Indians, would not have to kill them. The Sioux also say that Yellow Quill, who is
