Ori Wednesday, the prisoner Carroll, the • leading prisoner in connection with the Biddulph murder, watt acquitted. • T _ Os Tuesday eight last, the Pacific Railway debate in the House of. Come We have 'been informed on: good mous, Waadrawn to•a close. Tho vote authority„thatourieeelcootemperaryhae on the third reading of the bill lite” as follows :Yeas, 128; nays, 49. Since the frit, reading the discession has been limited, Mr, . Anglin making 'some captious objections, when were to all intents and purpose to delay the measure. Nr. Charlton, also made some objeetion andwas deploring the ruin of the couptry by comparing cost ander the new Syndicate to that of the old. Mr. Plumb replied to those in a masterly speech that quite satisfied them, F.d,LSE RE01?ESENTA'TiONS, 'been going the rounds of telling the public that in our advertising columns anumber of thele are being, inserted 'at a very low rate, and the remainder are bogus. We wish to correct this false and inaliciaua statenient by re- ferring its author to any of the bus}nese. • men whose advertisements appear. in our columns, as to the rates we ate charging, and be will probably be made s little wiser as to the state of our business. We can also assure our friend that we do not pretend to charge $50 per column per annum, and then some down and insert than for $35, $40 and $45 per annum, and that he must have very little confidence in our - business men to make , then] out so niggardly, as to wish to have their ads. inserted for half,nothing or free 'of charge. Clinton is a good business town, and its men can well afford to pay for their advertising to a journal that will de- vote its columns to their best interests. They have come forward and given us a grand support, and we will make all efforts to work for their best interests. We hope that in future our esteemed friend will be more careful in his state- atents concerning us, for be it remem- bered, he is always supposed to be a good authority, and his words, of - course, carry weight. OBSTRUCTION TO LEGISLA- TION. ' Tax. LiTEST DoD'o1.= An exchange tells of a new awindie. A sewing ma- chine peddler takes notes for .payment, ,mid states, the notes are not to pay in- terest. In some cases the 'notes hove printed in small type in . the left hand corner a heavy rate of interest which the peddler .covers with his thumb while the • purchaser signs. rFarmers and others would • do well to .be on their guard against frauds of this kind. ON Friday last the Pacific Railway resolutions were at last concurred'in: and a bill founded thereon was intro- • duced and read a first time. The • . House. was -divided na less -than -twenty;• 'two times on •amendments, brought up, by members of the Opposition, • It seems that, badly as' Mr. Blake's amendment was defeated, it did .not for a moment,:discourage him and•hia followers ,from dividing, it off. into little, pieces, and giving the Little Guns a chance at moving. am.endnielits also: Mr: Cameron, our "honorable • bb t " was amongst mem er y tour esy, the number, in .bringing forward a resolution, of course. objectionable to the bargain, but the attempt was futile and it was voted down by a majority of 69 in a House of .163 • members. We are inclined to' think that Mr. Blake would receive as'ma»y' thanks from the people' and his own constituency, particularly, were he" to be satisfied with one division and not' prolong the . House with.: continual divisions on clauses which he well knows will net bring to him any ,;tray. votes. He has already, by his denun- ciatory speeches, lost the support of Mr. Coupal, one of his foremost follow- ers, who has, during, the different divisions, noted with the Governm'ent•. Another fact that will be discouraging to him, is that not one of the Minis- terial supporters has yet voted with' the Opposition on. the amendments.. We hope 'that during the remainder of the present Session the Opposition will see their way clear that it is not to the interests of the country to- have Parliament prolonged to an unusual length by useless discussion, and that all attempts to embarrass the Govern- • fnent on questions of this kind will be of no avail, but .that Mr. Blake will show an example to his supporters well worthy of following. No doubt, the questional" one and • of . very great importance, but still a great amount of time has been lost by continual oppo- sition. A. motion to have the bill read a second time has been passed during the present week, and since a motion: for thirdreading, has passed with very little opposition. TILER ssian Goverumen is about to ore an investigation of the causes which have lead to the existing •eiepres• cion in the industries of the Empire 'Moscow scents to be particularly fected in this respect, the cotton matin- - lecturers suffering generally and many haudruptcies lacing threatened.
