     made to procure the expulsion from office 
     
     of a politieal opponent whose character 
     
     and eapabilities are alike unassailable, 
     
     Further explanation we decline to make. 
     
     We rather enjoy the frantic-futile efforts 
     
     of the Patriot. We regard as an indi-

     the attribution of the editorial control of

     and literary attainments. 
     
    
   
   
    
     spectability by “‘ naming names,”’ is cause 
     
     for sincere regret. 
     
    

    
     The Patriot's defence of “ Our Men at 
     
     Ottawa’? may be most correctly represent- 
     
     ed by acipher. Omitting the names of 
     
     our respected Postmaster and other gen- 
     
     tlemen who took no part whatever in the 
     
     attack, there is ‘ nothing in it.’ Wewill 
     
     therefore, honor it with a review. 
     
     We desire to have as little to do with 
     
     the self-octracised outcast as possible.

     My Dear Friesps ;—I most heartily thank 
     
     you for your kind and unexpected gift, as 
     
     well as for the good wishes with which it is 
     
     accompanied. 
     
    

    
     Your thoughtful and generous liberality 
     
     will be the means of adding much to the 
     
     pleasure of my visit to England. 
     
    

    
     I may say that in the five years during 
     
     which it has been my privilege to minister 
     
     among you, nothing has occurred to mar 
     
     that harmony which should exist between | 
     
     priest and people; and I trust that this is an 
     
     assurance that the connection which has 
     
     been to me such a happy one in the past, | 
     
     will long continue in the future.

     and as the Assistant Priest has kindly 
     
     offered to forego this summer, his wells | 
     
     earned holidays, the usual services will be 
     
     kept up.

     England ; but I can sincerely say,that to re~ 
     
     turn to you, and labour with you again, is 
     
     the greatest pleasure that I ant cipate.

     that such a union would effect in the Leg- 
     
     islative expenses of the Lower Provinces, 
     
     but it must certainly be considerable, if a 
     
     well planned scheme should ever be effect»

     of British North America was urged, we 
     
    
   
   
    
     When a federal union of the Provinces 
     
    
   
   
    
     argued that it could effect no saving, but | 
     
    
   
   
    
     would rather entail additional cost in carrys 
     
     ing on the business of the country. 
     
    
   
   
    
     have not disproved the force of our argus | 
     
    
   
   
    
     ments, for the cost of a general Parliament, 
     
    
   
   
    
     which are still retained, is no less, and we | 
     
     believe considerably greater than was the | 
     
    
   
   
    
     former cost of our several Local Parlias 
     
    

    
     It would have beea a wonderful

     something over one hundred and fifty mem~

     If the three Provinces were united, 
     
    
   
   
    
     there is no reason why a House of Assem-»

     say thirty members, could not satisfactorily 
     
    
   
   
    
     discharge the 
     
    
   
   
    
     more public printing required for the new | ‘ 
     
     Legislature than for our own Local body, 
     
     This last fact might lessen the work and | 
     
     | profits of the printers, but as newspaper | as |

     Of one thing 
     
    
   
   
    
     we may be sure: there will be no attempt 
     
     in this Province at least, and we may assurs 
     
     edly say the same for the other Provinces, 
     
    
   
   
    
     to force a scheme of union upon the people 
     
     without giving them the ful!est opportunity 
     
     to pass upon it. We do not agree with an 
     
     hon. member who said in the House yes- 
     
     terday in speaking upon the resolution, that 
     
     the suggestion of the desirabilty of such a 
     
     union should come from the people at large 
     
     directly. Every important measure hither- 
     
     to has been suggested in Parliament before 
     
     the people have decided whether they want 
     
     it or not. It is impossible to lead the peo 
     
     ple at large to give a matter of this kind 
     
     serious attention, unless such a recognized 
     
     exponent of the people’s will as a parlia~ 
     
     ment takes the initiative. No agitation, 
     
     begun and continued outside of Parliament, 
     
     could, we believe, ever induce the people 
     
     to demand by petition a scheme of union 
     
     from their local representatives. Let the 
     
     matter be seriously considered at the next 
     
     meeting of our Legislature, and then if it is 
     
    
   
   
    
     thought advisable, letsteps be taken which | 
     
    
   
   
    
     will put the question in a shape to be sub- 
     
     mitted to the people.

     | TARIFF DISCRIMINATION AGAINST 
     
    
   
   
    
     THE MARITIME PROVINCES 
     
     Mr. Cartwright has felt it necessary to 
     
     lighten the burdens he imposed on our ships 
     
    
   
   
    
     | builders. Some of the shipping materials 
     
     | which he taxed he consents to admit duty 
     
     | free again Yet we of the Maritime Pros 
     
     | vinces have no very great reason to rejoice 
     
    

    
     on that account. For if Mr. Cartwright 
     
     | lessens the weight of one kind of taxation 
     
     | that pressed heavily on the Maritime inte-~ 
     
     | rest,;he discriminates against usin his newest 
     
    

    
     Tariff in another direction. What he gives 
     
     | up to the ship-yard he regains from the tea 
     
     table. In his first Tariff, the duties imposed 
     
     on tea were 6 cents per lb. on green and 
     
     4 cents per lb. on black tea. These, com- 
     
    
   
   
    
     i with the duties on tea levied under 
     
     the old Tariff, before the tea taxation was 
     
     the 
     
     people of the Maritime Provinces. Under 
     
     | the old Tariff, besides an equal ad valorem 
     
     duty on the green and black teas, there was 
     
     atax of 7 cents per lb. on green tea, and 
     
     one of 35 cents on black tea. 
     
    
   
   
    
     } pare 
     
    
   
   
    
     abolished, bore quite unfavorably on 
     
    
   
   
    
     Thus, under 
     
     the old Tariff, the specific duty on costly 
     
     green tea was precisely as much again as 
     
     that upon the cheaper black tea ; whereas, 
     
     under Mr. Cartwrights first Tariff the 
     
     specific duty on green was only halfas much 
     
     again as that on black tea. But when he 
     
     resolved to make concession on shipping 
     
    
   
   
    
     materials he, it seems,dete rminedjto recoup 
     
     himself by so re-arranging the tea duties 
     
     that the specific on green should be only 
     
     one third more than that on black tea. So 
     
     in his second Tariff he placed the specific 
     
     duty on the former at 4 cents and that on 
     
     the latter at 3 cents. 
     
    

    
     The significance of these facts lies in this 
     
     circumstance, that in Ontario and Quebec 
     
     green tea is mainly used, while in the Mari- 
     
     time Provinces the consumption of green 
     
     tea is very small.—At John News.

     the Minister of Finance in his ' Budget 
     
    

    
     | Speech ; ”? and consequently, to him chiefly, 
     
     is the country indebted for a modification 
     
     of Mr. Cartwright s offensive Tariff. On the 
     
     | 30th ult., he delivered a very able speech 
     
     in Parliament. The Toronto Mail reports 
     
     ‘he said, he had already shown from the 
     
     trade and navigation returns that there had 
     
     been no decline in the trade of the country 
     
     | which could be taken as justifying the Fin-~ 
     
     | nance Minister's speech,and im fact therehad 
     
     ‘been no decline at all in articles entered 
     
     Proceeding to deal with 
     
    
   
   
    
     | for consumption. 
     
    
   
   
    
     the question of deficiency, he handled it in | 
     
    
   
   
    
     several ways. Even taking the net expen- 
     
     diture at $24,000,000, he showed that by 
     
     taking into account the money on hand at 
     
     the beginning of the year, with some other 
     
     items of legitimate revenue, all outlays 
     
     could be met without fresh taxation. The 
     
     Finance Minister, however, he pledged him. 
     
     self to prove, had made a mista‘e in the 
     
     item of the working expenses of railways, of 
     
     from four to five hundred thousand dollars 
     
     and besides, he had put down as an expen- 
     
     diture of the year $766,200, which, his own 
     
     figures showed, had not been expended, as 
     
     they would have to be re-voted this year. 
     
     He proceeded to point out that in the res 
     
     ceipts and expenditure up to the Ist April 
     
     there had been an actual surplus of $126, 
     
     822, and the three best months of the year 
     
     —those in which the revenue was usually 
     
     large and the expenditure small, were yet 
     
     torun. He pointed out that, though the 
     
     returns were but for nine months, the whole 
     
     of the subsidies of the year, in all $3,951,- 
     
     575, were included. He vehemently des 
     
     nounced the Ministry for having deranged 
     
     the trade of the country, and for having 
     
     given notice so far beforehand that the tariff 
     
     would be raised. Referring to the returns 
     
     that day Jaia before the House, and without 
     
     laying so much stress upon the receipts 
     
     from custom: and excise, he pointed out 
     
     that in nine months the post office and rails 
     
     ways showed an increase of $400,000, most 
     
     healthy state ofaffairs. Having given some 
     
     further figures, the hon. member for Cum- 
     
     berland concluded that there would, instead 
     
     of a deficiency, be an actual surplus on the 
     
     ist of July of $526,542. He further insisted 
     
     that the Finance Minister was incorrect in 
     
     his calculations that the revenue of the en» 
     
     suing year would not be more than $22,» 
     
     000,000, Had he Jeft well alone, there 
     
     must have been a natural increase of a 
     
     million and a half ofdollars. Referring to 
     
     the statement of the Finance Minister,that 
     
     the late Government had converted a sur- 
     
     plus of four millions into a deficit of one 
     
     million, he pointed out that they had taken 
     
     the duties off tea and coffee, that they had 
     
     brought new Provinces into the Dominion, 
     
     that they had assumed the debts of Ontario 
     
     and Quebec —just as the Imperial Govern~ 
     
     ment had lately done, in dissipating a sur~ 
     
     plus by taking a penny off the income tax 
     
     and abolishing the sugar duties. The ec- 
     
     eusation he said, was not simply rash, but 
     
     criminal. The late Government, he remark- 
     
     ed, had expended in six years out of revenue 
     
     on the publie buildings, no less a sum than 
     
     $11,726,445, which might in all fairness 
     
     have been charged to capital amount and 
     
     added to the public debt, and, while doing 
     
     this, they had reduced taxation from 134 to 
     
     10} per cent. The present Government, 
     
     instead of reducing expenditure by econo- 
     
     mising in the public service, as they had | 
     
     promised, had largely increased it. He 
     
     seathingly denounced the policy of the Go-~ 
     
     vernment by which the whole trade of the 
     
     country had been disturbed, and pointed 
     
     out thatif the Finance Minister had required 
     
     more money, he should have charged more 
     
     of the public works where economy was not 
     
     possible, to capital account. The Govern. 
     
     ment would have to go into the money 
     
     markets of the world for $15 0°50 000. How 
     
     could Mr. Cartwright exp ct to get this 
     
     money in the face of his croaking and dam-~ 
     
     aging speech? This was atime when the 
     
     most and not the worst of our financial cons 
     
     dition should have been made. There was 
     
     no excuse for the Finance Minister's uns 
     
     fortunate speech. Dr, Tupper then too«< up 
     
     the tariff, and scaritied the Government un~ 
     
     sparingly as he dwelt at considerable length 
     
     upon item after item of that remarkable 
     
     production,and concluded a two. hours-and- 
     
     a-half speech of great force and power, 
     
     amidst much applause. 
     
    

    
     On the 2nd inst., in Committee of Sup~ 
     
     ply, on the item of $500,000 for the Pacific 
     
     Railway Survey, the Premier said Fleming’s 
     
     report would not be ready this week—sur- 
     
     veys between Nipigon and Nipissing Lake | 
     
     were suspended. Four parties were at 
     
     work on the British Columbia end. Others 
     
     were trying to find the best passes through 
     
     the Rocky Mountains. The Cascade 
     
    

    
     tanges were the most difficult. Most of 
     
     the surveys made so far were merely ex. 
     
     planatory. Surveys this year would be 
     
     principally at the British Columbia end. It 
     
     would be impossible to begin the British 
     
     Columbia end of the road this year. 
     
     Thorough surveys must be firsthad. Mr, 
     
     DeCosmos expressed his astonishment at 
     
     this statement of the Premier that the Goy- 
     
     ernment was still further going to break 
     
     faith with British Columbia. The late Mins 
     
     istry had endeavored to carry out its pledg- 
     
     es by making surveys and locating the line 
     
     at the western end. According to the Pres 
     
     mier's statement, four years were to elapse 
     
     beyond the time agreed upon before work 
     
     would begin. He warned the Government 
     
     that if they persisted in this course, British 
     
     Columbia would appeal to this Parliament, 
     
     and failing here, would appeal to the Im~ 
     
     perial Parliament to protect her rights; 
     
     meantime the Local Legislature would be 
     
     convened to prepare that appeal. The 
     
     Premier said no matter how anxious the 
     
     Government were to begin the work it was 
     
     impossible until complete surveys were 
     
     made. Mr. DeCosmos said the Premier 
     
     was entirely in error. The late Govern- 
     
     ment made through surveys and located 
     
     the terminus at Esquimalt. Grading could 
     
     be proceeded with immediately just as eas. 
     
     ily as the Pembina Railway. He must 
     
     again warn the Government of the danger 
     
     of their policy. There was a difference bes 
     
     tween the unavoidable delay of the late 
     
     Government and the deliberate proposition 
     
     of this Government to further postpone the 
     
     work. 
     
    

    
     On the same day, the Hon. Peter Mitchs 
     
     ell announced that, as an independent 
     
     member, he was bound to oppose the Min~ 
     
     istry which has introduced the Yankee sys» 
     
     tem of dismissing officials at every change 
     
     of Government. 
     
    

    
     On the 5th inst. the subject of Emigration 
     
     was discussed. The Premier reported that 
     
     a building had been rented in London at 
     
     twelve hundred pounds per annum, which 
     
     would be the headquarters of the Domins 
     
     ion agent. The Dominion agents could 
     
     have offices there if desirable. It would 
     
     also be a rendezvous for Canadians who had 
     
     business in London. Mr. Jenkins would 
     
     have the general supervision of the, emi- 
     
     gration staff, look generally after Canadian 
     
     affairs, and conduct special political busis 
     
     ness when necessary. Sir John hoped that 
     
     Mr. Jenkins would confine his attention to 
     
     emigration matters. He (Sir John) thought 
     
     no good would result to Canada if \'r. Jens 
     
     | kins were to act as a Canadian Ambassa- 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     dor. To be asuccessful polit.cal agent of 
     
     Canada he should not be actively engaged 
     
     in English party politics. Te suongly cony 
     
     demned Mr. Jenkins’ Dundee speech. Mr. 
     
     Mitchell approved of Mr. Jenk ns’ appoints 
     
     ment, but hoped he would confine himself 
     
     strictly to his duties. 
     
    

    
     On the 6th, the subject of tae proposed 
     
     | military school received some attention. 
     
     | Mr. McKenzie explained that it was intend. 
     
     ed to give an education in mathematics, 
     
     but the chief object would be to educate 
     
     cadets as engineers, as at West Point. He 
     
    

    
     thought the country had arrived at that 
     
     | stage when it required an educated class of 
     
     | officers as engineers on railroads and other 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     | public works. The services of gentlemen 
     
     who had obtained a regular military educa- 
     
     tion could be made evailable He did not 
     
     favor the establishment of a regular army, 
     
     but did favor a thorough education of a 
     
     class of officers whose services in emergens 
     
     cy could be relied on. As the country ins 
     
     creased, it might be found necessary to 
     
     maintain a small permanent force. This 
     
     college was an experiment, but one which 
     
     the Government was bound to entertain. 
     
     The Government had to provide the 
     
     nucleus of a class of officers capable of tak- 
     
     ing command under certain circumstances, 
     
     He could not say where the buildings for 
     
     college would be erected. Kingston was 
     
     one of those places which might be selected ; 
     
     but this would engage the attention of the 
     
     Government during the recess. 
     
    

    
     On the 6th, Mr. Costigan moved for an 
     
     address to Her Majesty on the subject of 
     
     law respecting common schools adopted by 
     
     the Local Legislature of New Brnnswick in 
     
     1871, and praying for the passing of an Act 
     
     making certain amendments to the British 
     
     North America Act of 1867. He contended 
     
     that by the Act of Confederation it was uns 
     
     derstood that Roman Catholics had lost 
     
     none of their rights, but subsequent legis» 
     
     lation in the Local Honse had shown they 
     
     had, in fact they had been deprived of 
     
     their rights. He held that uncer a local 
     
     law a school might be establishec when the 
     
     majority of children were Protestants, 
     
     and yet general principles of christianity 
     
     taught, but not according to the wishes of 
     
     parents, or a school where the majority 
     
     were Catholics; in each case the rights of 
     
     minority should be respected. The cons 
     
     sideration of this motion was postponed till 
     
     the following Monday (to-day). In atele- 
     
     gram to the St. John Freeman, it is reports 
     
     ed that “the reason for the postponement 
     
     is that a telegraphic correspondence is pass~ 
     
     ing between the Bishop of St. John and 
     
     parties here (Ottawa) in refererce to the 
     
     question.” 
     
    

    
     Cn the 8th, Mr. Mackenzie moved the 
     
     following resolutions, which we clip from 
     
     the St. John Zelegraph:—That it is expes 
     
     dient to provide for the costruction of Can- 
     
     adian Pacifie Railway from some point near 
     
     Lake Nipissing to some point in British 
     
     Columbia in the Pacific Ocean, both points 
     
     to be determined by Governor in Council. 
     
     It is expedient to provide that the whole 
     
     line of said railway, for the purposes of its 
     
     construction, shall be divided into four sec- 
     
     tions; the first to begin near the south of 
     
     Lake Nipissing, already mentioned; the 
     
     second section to begin at some point on 
     
     lake Superior, to be determined by 
     
     the Governor in Council, connecting with 
     
     the first section, and te extend to Red 
     
     River in the Province of Manitoba; the 
     
     third section to extend from Red River, 
     
     Province of Manitoba, to some point be~ 
     
     tween Fort Edmonston and foot of the 
     
     Rocky Mountains, to be determined by 
     
     Governor in Council; and the fourth sec~ 
     
     tion to extend from western terminus of 
     
     the third section to a point in British Col- 
     
     umbia on the Pacific Ocean; branches of 
     
     said railway shall also be constructed from 
     
     a point indicated as the proposed eastern 
     
     terminus of said railway to point on Geor- 
     
     gian Bay, both points to be determined by 
     
     Governor. From the main line at Fort 
     
     Garry, a branch will be built to Pembina, 
     
     and such branch to be considered as part of 
     
     the Canadian cacific. A railway telegraph 
     
     will be constructed in advance of said rail- 
     
     road, along their whole extent, as soon as 
     
     practicable after the location shall have 
     
     been determined. 
     
    

    
     The gauge of said railroad shall be four 
     
     feet eight inches and a haif; the rolling 
     
     stock shall be constructed under the gens 
     
     eral superintendence of the department of 
     
     Public Works, according to surveys, loca. 
     
     tion plans and description of works cone 
     
     templated, as may be approved by the 
     
     Governor in Council. 
     
    

    
     No contract is to be given unless the 
     
     contractors show that they possess a capi» 
     
     tal of $4,000 for each mile constructed, 
     
     and deposit twenty-five per cent. in money 
     
     or approved securities to credit in bank or 
     
     banks as security for the completion of the 
     
     contracts. A guarantee of interest, at four 
     
     per cent. per annum, of 25 years, on a sum 
     
     to be stated in the contract, for each mile 
     
     of section or sub-section contracted for, 
     
     shall be given to the contractors. 
     
    

    
     Tenders for the work will be required to 
     
     state the lowest sum per mile, for which 
     
     such guarantee will be required.

     said railroad or any poriion thereof as a 
     
     public work of Canada, the construction 
     
     shall be let out by contracts offered to pub-

     has been an utter and complete failure, » 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     that Mr. 
     
     We have never hesitated to say that the 
     
    
   
   
    
     United States the better it would be, not _ 
     
     for Canada only, but for the Republica © 
     
     well. No public man in the Dominion 
     
     could have doubted, however, if he studied 
     
     aright the signs of the times and the utter. 
     
     ances of Parliament, that the people of this 
     
     eountry were not prepared to appear at 
     
    
   
   
    
     Washington in forma pauperis, and sue fora yr 
     
    
   
   
    
     treaty, under circumstances which must E 
     
     necessarily have led to the belief that the © 
     
     trade of Canada was suffering, and that we — 
     
     desired to better its condition by obtaining — 
     
     some advantages from the neighboring 
     
     country. 
     
     plebiscite of the commercia! men of the Do 
     
     minion were taken, it would very clearly 
     
     show that they preferred going on as they 
     
     have been, rather than make overtures to 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     FARMING IN MANITOBAH. 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     A young Scotchman who recently emi- 
     
     grated to Manitobah writes to a friend in 
     
     Halifax, as follows :— 
     
    

    
     “ To give you an idea of the nature of the 
     
     soil, I will give you a few instances which 
     
     have came under my notice, which are as 
     
     follows :— 
     
    

    
     Mr. Grant of Kat Creek, had 75 bushels 
     
    

    
     of oats to the acre, and over 50 bushels of 
     
     barley. An 88 bushel grist of his, by mea- 
     
     sure, weighed 110 bushels, 
     
     Mr. Bell, of White Mud- from 7 bushels 
     
     of seed potatoes, raised 350 bushes. Mr. 
     
     Morrison,of the same place,raised 12 bushels 
     
     of onions upon a patch of land 20 feet 
     
     square. Wheat raised last year averaged 
     
     about 36 bushels per acre, running between 
     
     28 and 45, Oats average at least 60 bushels 
     
     per acre, running from 50 to 75, and avers 
     
     age over forty pounds to the bushel, 
     
     The average yield of barley is about 50 bush- 
     
     els per acre, 
     
    

    
     With reference to the winter, so far as it 
     
     has gone, it has been the most pleasant I 
     
     ever experienced. The coldest day we had 
     
     was on the 25th of January, when the ther- 
     
     mometer stood 42° below zero, but strange 
     
     to say, even at that, I have felt more un- 
     
     comfortable from the damp atmosphere ia 
     
     Scotland. There has not been a day one 
     
     can’t work out of doors, as the atmosphere 
     
     is so clear and dry, and no wind ; if any, 60 
     
     slight, that you do not feel it disagreeable. 
     
    

    
     The climate is very healthy and most im- 
     
     vigorating 1 have never had a day's sick- 
     
     ness since I came here, and a pain 
     
     often troubled me, while in Scotland, in the 
     
     breast, has completely gone away.

     1 Any person who takes a paper regular- 
     
     ly from the Post Office—whetier directed 
     
     to his name or another's, is responsible for 
     
     the payment. 
     
    

    
     2 If a person orders his paper discontinu 
     
     ed, he must pay up all arreareages, or 
     
     publisher may continue to send it until pay> 
     
     ment is made, and collected the whole 
     
     amount, Whether the paper is taken from 
     
     the Office or not. 
     
    

    
     3 The court has decided that refusing @ 
     
     take newspapers and periodicals from the 
     
     Post Office, or removing aud leaving them 
     
     uncalled .or, is a prima facie evidence 
     
     intentional fraud.

     Sir Lambton Lorraine, in a communicas 
     
     tion to the Pull Mall Guzelte, says the re- 
     
     ported interview with himself, published 
     
     the New York Herald, is tictious. He alse 
     
     says: ‘I never said that blood was thic:er 
     
     than water, that tho people of Eagland had 
     
     a strong attection for their American cousiMs 
     
     and that it would give me great pleasure t 
     
     receive a silver brick, Whatever may be 
     
     my opinion, {am no admirer of those Eng>
