Mr. Anglin, yesterday, introduced the subject of the APPOINTMENTS made by him since the 17th of September last. He asked for cepies of the corres- pondence between himself and Mr. Patrick, the Clerk of the House. The facts brought out in the debate concerning the appoint- ments are these: Mr. David and Mr. Tasse resigned their positions of translators to offer as candidates at the elections in September last. Mr. Tasse was returned for Ottawa, but the other gentleman was defeated. The Clerk of the House in- formed Mr. Anglin, some time after the resignations, of the vacancies which existed, and asked him to appoint others to fill them, believing that Mr. Anglin had power to make appointments during the interreg- num between the dissolution of the last and opening of the new Parliament. The Clerk ot the House was undoubtedly in error in applying to Mr. Anglin to appoint new translators, and has since acknowledged his mistake. As soon as Mr. Patrick discoy- ered bis error, he informed the ex-Speaker that he had acted under a wrong impres- sior. But Mr. Anglin argues that he (Mr. Anglin) was the proper authority to inform respecting the resignations, and, also, that no one but he had a right to make appoint- ments, as he was then Speaker and would remain such till his successor should be ap- pointed. The ex-Speaker then ordered the clerk of the House to make certain appoint- mentsand to request the ofticials appointed to enter upon their duties at once. He even went further, and ordered that the men who had been appointed should receive in- creased pay. Some of the parties thus re- ceiving the offices were promoted, and Mr. Anglin, with a kind consideration for his frinds, said that. increased responsibility should be rewarded by increased pay. Mr. Anglin admits that he could not find any precedent in the ENGLISH PARLIAMENTARY proceedings for his action; but, as he was Speaker of the House till Parliamens met and selected a new Speaker, he» had autho- rity to do just as he pleased in the matter of appoimtments. Sir John Macdonald differed greatly from him in his argument and ‘‘said Mr. Anglin was a defunct officer, and had no right to place in office anyone without the authority of the Min- istry or Parliament.” He (Sir John) gave orders to the Clerk to pay no attention to Mr. Anglin’s appointments. It was a mat- and the ex-Speaker exceeded his authority, in fact had no authority to act as he pleased during the time between the dissolution and opening of Parliament.” The ‘‘Internal Econ- my Act,’ underwhich Mr. Anglin pretends to receive his authority, gives no author- ity to the Speaker to fill any vacancies or make appointments, but that of Account- ant, or invests him with any other function than to suspend or dismiss any of the officers, clerks, etc., in the Departments under the Speaker, or act in the matter of finances. The fact is evident to any one that Mr. Anglin has a weakness for violat- a precedent, establishes one. Mr. Anglin would search in vain in English Parlia- mentary history for a case where the Speak- er had violated the Independence of Par- liament Act. I knew of no case where an atonement had to be made for such violation except in the case of Timothy War ren Anglin himself. Mr. DeCosmos, mem- ber for British Columbia, has presented to Parliament a petition from working men, asking for protection frou CHINESE CUEAP LABOR. The petition sets forth the interesting facts that one-fovrth of the population are Chinese. That twenty-five of them can live in one house together; the cost of livg ing to a Chinaman is only twenty-five cents a day, whilst men of other nationalities can- not live for less than from fifty cents to one dollar per day. There only four mar- ried men out of the six thousand resident in British Columbia, and only four real estate owners. They work under one organization and work for a less sum per day than other men. If men of other nationalities work for a smaller sum than usual, John Chinaman will perform the labor cheaper. To prove that they all work under one organization, it is_ stated that on one occasion, when the local Gov- ernment proposed to tax them, they ceased work. The protection sought by other working men of British Columbia is that no Chinamen shall be allowed to work on the Railroad, and that some means of taxation shall be devised. At present John does not pay any taxes, having no real estate, and consuming very little dutiable goods he is no contributer to the revenue of the coun- try. It will be no doubt a difficult question for Parliament to deal with. It has oc- curred to me that the Island Local Govern- ment could solve the problem of taxation, as all questions relating to increase of taxes have been made a special matter of study by the members of the Local Gevernment. The Celestial or any one else could not en- joy the same immunity from taxation if located in the Island as the men of British Columbia complain of. Orrawa, Feb. 22. Dr. Muattart moved for a return of copies of tenders and correspondence concerning the last contract on SOURIS BREAKWATER. Doubtless there will be some interesting facts for the electors of King’s unearthed when the correspondence comes down. see by the Report of the Minister of Public Works that only 2,500 cubic yards of sand © and mud were removed by the dredge while’ at Wood Islands. [If this be correct, the working of the dredge under Capiain Wil- liams cost the country a pretty large sum. The dredge is, I understand, doing good work at Moutague at the present time. ~~ po Harrison’s Hermit Cousin. There died lately in this neighborhood an aged and eccentric man named Alvin Harrison, He ‘was about seventy-three President years of age. and was a cousin of President: Harrison. In 1840 .he was a promising young lawyer of Ross County, Ohio, and stumped the State in the interests of his cousin,, ‘‘ Gld Tippecanoe.” Several years thereafter he quit the practice of law and took up the study of medicine. he became engaged to a young lady, and at last the happy day was fixed for the cele- bration of their marriage. But before the arrival of the eventful day the young lady eloped with a stage driver leaving Mr. Harrison. so disgusted with - the fickleness of lhuman nature and civilization in general that he turned his back upon the world, preferring a home in the, trackless wilderness and barren prairies to one in the busy haunts of refined life. Some fourteen years ago he built a log cabin and toek up his abode in Neosho bottoms, some three miles from town, | His nearest neighbor at that time was miles away. He lived all alone, and subsisted on a scanty and un- wholesome diet of spoiled bacon. The cabin was open and unconffortable, while he was content with a simple pallet.of straw. He drove a team, poor, bony, and ‘dilapidated as himself, half starved.and clothed in rope and string harness? He had am intelligent expression of countenance, but went about sparcely clad in rags and patches of the coarser fabrics ; yet, in the midst of filth and rags, he was tecognized as a man above average sense and educational cul- ture, which always brought him respectful deference from all. It is said that, aside from his property here, which consists of three hundred and twenty acres of good land and some personal property, he owned valuable property in Ohio. Some years ago’ his brother came to see nim, and endeavored to get him to aban-« don his isolated existence, but all in vain, for he remained alone till the last. When it was found that he was sick, the kind neighbors did all in their power to alleviate his suffering. After his death, a box cors taining silver and bank notes, deeds, mort- gages, etc., wasfound. Quite a number of standard works on medicine and law were also found.— Oswego (Kan. ) Correspondence of the Indianapolis Sentinel. ————_—- + <> © ~~ -— Supscrise for the Werexry ExamimMEeR Only ONE DOLLAR a year in advancs in front of *‘the blind.” ‘ie ddidadine dics ~<Sis Pedestrian (who has creppen half a crown. ey y B . you wr ggar : ‘‘Not J, y must have and dumb,” humbug, you’re not blind !” sir !
