An important Question.

Toronto, May 1.

An important discussion engaged the at- tention of the Toronto Presbytery to-day, on the real relationof the Church to be ‘the State in the matter of legislative enact- ments, and the relation of church courts to the individual liberty of members as to the use of intoxicating beverages. The question arose from a re- port of the Presbytery’s Committee on temperance ; also with questions set down by the committee of the General Assembly. After a long debate, in which all prominent members took part, the following resolution amongst others was passed: ‘‘ That while this Presbytery therefore holds it to the duty of the» Church to exhort her members conscientiously to bear part as citizens seeking te free the community from the curse of drunkenness, they yet regard it as beyond the authority given by Christ to His church for any chard court to pass any official judgment as to the specific method in which the _civi! powef may best deal with the evils of the liquor trafic, seeing that in no such deliverance snould she justly claim to be, speaking from the Word of God and with the authority of Him who alone she is appoint- ed to represent ; proyided always there is nothing in this resolution that shall be eon- strued to deny the right of petition in cases axtransiline®, or, auvice sor satisfaction of conscience, when referred by the . civil magistrate as specified in the Confession of

Faith, chap. 31.5,”

HXCISH DUTIES.

important Changes.

Orrawa, May I.

At 2 o'clock this morning Sir Charles Tupper brought down the follewing im- portant changes in the Excise duties, which were adopted, to take effect from to-day:

Resolved, That the excise duty on spirits manufactured from raw or unmalted grain used in combination in such propertions as the Department of Inland Revenue prescribes with malted barley, taken to the distillery in bond, shall be the same as that on spirits manufactured exclusively from malted barley-

Resolved, That when any substitute for methylated spirits is supplied to any manu. facturer in accordance with section 233 of the Inlaid Revenue Act that price thereof shall not exceed the total cost with the ad- ditional 15 per cent,

Resolved, That the excise duty on cigar- ettes, whether the produce of foreign or of domestic leaf tobacco, weighing not more than three pounds per thousand, shall be 60 cents on every pound, and on those weighing more than three pounds per thousand on every pound actual weight, $1.

Resolved, That the Excise duty on all cigars whether the produce of foreign or domestic raw leaf, and when put up in packages containing less than ten cigars each, shall be 87 a thousand.

The first resolution provides that the rate of $132 per pro of gallons shall apply to spirits produced from raw grain and malt used in bond. The original section fixes this duty only for spirits made from malt used in bond. The old rate oncigarettess was 20 cents per pound, and 35 cents when in packages of twenty pounds or under. The resolutions were adopted, and the committee reported progress. The House adjourned at 2.15 a. m,

DOMINION PARLIAMENT

Orrawa, May 1.

To-day Hon. Mr. McLelan resumed the Budget Debate. Following Sir Richard through his speech, Mr. McLelan dealt with the alleged exodus, the alleged in- crease of taxation, and the alleged greater prosperity of the United States, showing conclusively from authorities recognized among the grits of high standing, that the exodus from this country was heayiest dur- ing the years 1876 to 1879, when the effects of grit rule were more severely felt in Canada; that our increase of taxation measured by the per capita of interest was infinitissimal ; and by the several barome- ters of prosperity employed by the Grits themselves, Canada compared favorably with any other country in the world, He concluded by readinga hypothetical amendment to Cartwright's amendment, in which, parodying the form of the latter, he arraigned the misgovernment of the Grits when in office, the marvellous prosperity of the country since the change of govern- ment in 1878, and endorsing as wholly satisfactory the policy which the country had then demanded, and had since twice endorsed.

The debate was continued by Messrs. Patterson, Cook and others.

After Mr. Cook had concluded a division was taken, resulting in the defeat of Cart- wright’s amendment, 66 to 117, majority 51. The vote was a strict party one, ex- cept that Mr. Hall, of Carleton, voted with the Government. Some thirty members were absent,

CERMANY. The Emperor's Health.

Bertin, May 1.

The Emperor Frederick’s fever increased this evening, and exprition is more copious. The cough is worse. He is suffering from headache. An attempt was made to relieve him by inserting a new camea. During the day he was languid and had little appe- tite. It is doubtful ‘whether the Empress willbe able to go to the Elbe provinces. The Emperor's relapse has shattered the hapes entertained of permanent improve- ment, but there is no cause for immediate uneasiness,

The Preeper Case.

Hauirax, May 1.

Judge Townsend reserved but two points to-day in the Preeper murder trial for the consideration. of the Bench ; fiyst, the in- fluence of the sermon preached by Rev. W. ©. Brown to the jurors; second, the correctness of admitting some testimony. The constable who spoke to the foreman about the Preeper trial and afterward made affidavit of the conversation was fined $20 for contempt of court.
