The Official Paper of the uounty.
FRIDAY APRIL 8th, 1870..
THE reason for the insult tendered the
EXPOSITOR, on the occasion of Rev. W.
Morley Punshon're lecture, by a non -ex-
tension to our reporter, of the usual court-
esy-, is something beyond our conjecture.
However, be that what it may, we both
acknowledge and resent the incivility.
There maybe cases, when, through hostility
to a cause or an interest, sections of the
Press have beep similarly " snubbed " ; but
where all religious sects and parties have
been dealt with, on the cosmopolitan
principle, which they have in the col-
umns of the EXPOSITOR, ,we chadlenge a par-
allel, of the conduct in question. We -are
DOt of those who expect to "dead -,head"
all bands, from editor to "devil," nor do
we practice it when opportunity offers;
yet, we demand as a right, established by
custom and all good-usuage, that, which
was peremptorily refirsed in this instance.
The matter of tifty cents, is not the griev-
ance, for indeed, were it necessary, we
would cheerfully give ten times the am-
ount, to thie, or any kindred cause. -
' THE RED RIVER TROUBLES.
The embroglio at Red River has at length
a,ssunied a most serious aspect. The shoot
ing of a Canadian prisoner, named Scott, by
order of' President" Riel,-- the particulars
of which will be found in other columns,—
has given to this unfortunate affair an en-
tirely new colour. Heretofore Rid's de-
monstrations of authority were confined to
intercepting the entry into the territory of
the would be Governor; taking possession of
the fort and also the well filled stores of the
Hudson Bay Company, and placing in cpia-
finement those -of the settlers who saw fit
to set his authority at defiance, or who, he
might imagine, tvouldte likely to place ob-
stacles in the way, to prevent his reachiug
the Presidental Chair, and enjoying fcr a
brief term the fats of office. So well had
he succeeded in carrying out his plans, with-
out molestation from those who,th rough their
bungling and mismanagement, gave him an
opportunity tc usurp, and reetain for a time,
authority, that he has Lecolee emboldened
and, like all other scoundrels of his stamp,
taken just one step too far. This step, was
the deliberate shooting. of a British subject,
upon British ground, and for what i Sim-
ply because he had the courageand bra-
very, to set at defiance the authority, and
disobey the mandates of a usurper, in )en-
deavouring to maintain the dignity of his
Sovereign, and free his fellow mortels from
a bondage which had been imposed upon
them contrary to law and justice.
TIlat the murder of this young banadian
will yet be aveeged, by the murderer being
brought to justice, and punished as the hein-
ousness of his crime deserves, we verily be-
• lieve, and that most speedily. True, the
base act which Riel has committed, does not
in ny _way, make him amenable to the
laws of Canada, as this -country has never
secured its right to that territory. But,
nevertheless, the offence weaCommitted up-
on British soil, upon a British subject, and
the murderer will surely receive his just de-
serts under British laws, unless he takes the
precaution to place himself in a position
that the arm of the law cannot reach him.
So soon as the murder of Scott can be
thoroughly and satisfactorily established, it
will become the duty of the British autho-
rities to take immediate steps for the arrest,
and punishment of this scoundrel, Riel, and
hie accomplices, and we have every confi-
dence that that duty will be faithfully and
fearlessly performed.
It is now high time that this so-called re-
bellion was put a stop to. RUMOUTS are
afloat to the etre-et that the -detachment of
Royal Canadian Rifles at present stationed
in Canada are not to be disbanded, but are
shortly to be sent to the Red River Terri-
tory for the purpose of restoring peace, and
keeping in subjection the insurgents. We
trust that this ruraour may prove to be true;
as the: only stray tiara we can possibly retain
peaceable possession of that country, for a
long time to come, at least, is by force of
arms. Let our authorities become possess-
ors- of the country, by paying,over the pur-
ehase money at once, and then let them as-
sert their right to it, peaceably if possible,
if not, by'force of arms. There is not a
Toment to be lost. Every. day that is
wasted in trifling and dilly-dallying, as our
authorities have been doing for the put six
months, is just increasing the strength of our
opponents, and making the difficulty to be
overcome still more arduous. It is Said
that the vagabond Who now holds the sway
there, and who has temporary control of the
destinies of that country, is deternained to
hold out to the last, and will not abandon
the foolish position be has taken until he is
compelled to do so by force. Well, let
force of arms be used. There are thousands
of able young men in ourcountry who
would willingly volunteer their services to
dethrone this blood-stained imposter, did
they but ha,Ye the opporturity. Our Gov-
ernment, however, from what reason, is
best known to themselves, do not appear to
feel inclined_to grant them such an oppor-
tunity. Indeed it was stated by the Minis-
ter Of Justice,. in his place in the House, a
day er two ago,that commissioners from
that country were bendy expected at Otta-
wa to treat with our -Government as to the
terms upon which we would be .permitted
to take possession of the country; and from
the tenor of his remarks, it would aprear
that the Government have decided to treat
with these commissioners or delegates.
Now, when we consider that these com-
missioners, with whom our Government
have -decided to treat,`with a view to a set-
tlement of the difficulties between the two
countries, are merely the creatures of a man
who has imbrued ;his hands in innocent
blood, -s ---that they have been appointed at his
dictation, and under fear of his threats, and
are bound to obey his commands; are we
not justified in coneluding that the Govern-
ment is trifling with this all important
question? Even supposing we were to
grant all that is demanded of us, and an
amicable settlement should be. arrived at by
the negetiatiag parties, what guarantee
have we, that we would even then be allow-
ed to retain peaceable possession .of the cou tie
try? What Confidence can .we place in the
word of a 'man. who would be guilty of com-
mitting so fearful a crime as that or which
Riel is guilty? Or what reliance can be
placed in pledges made ley -men who would
stand by and witness the Murder of an inno-
cent man, and not raise a hand to ward off
the fatal blew. There is no use in think-
ing of entering into conciliatory negotia-
tions with scOuncirels such as these, and the
sooner our authorities open their eyes to the
fact. the better it will be for themselves and
for the country they pretend to epresent.
['hese law less vagabonds can only be brought
into subjection by foi-ce; and by force kept in
that position. Let our rights be asserted at
the point of the Isayonet, and those who
have been guilty of mieconduct, and who
have'committed crime, brought to justice
and fittingly punished, and then. we will be
able to retain quiet and peaceable possesion
of our own,—of what we have bought and
paid for,—and not till then. This sending
delegates to negotiate with our authorities,
is nothing more nor less than a cute dodge on
the part of Riel and. his cut-throat asse-ci-
ates,to gain time, in order that they may
have an opportunity of becoming more
firmly fixed in their present positioos, and
it. will only be in keeping with their miser-
able conduct all through this business, if our
Government should step into the trap which
has been so disingeniously laid for them.
it is.actually .sickening to contemplate
the vaeillating,- cowardly, and we might al:
most say ttaitrous conduct of our Govern-
niena—indivtdually and collectively,—
from first to last, in reference .to this Red
River affair. It cannot last much longer,
however. The time has • new come when
they will be required to take prompt anda
decided action, or give way to others, better
fitted to cope with the exigencies of the oc-
casion. This last bloody tragedy, has
thoroughly aroused the people of the coun-
try from one end to the other. They were
prej ared to submit to a good deal, rather
than resider adopt means which might cause
r-iruch bloodshed, and loss of life, bet to be
compelled to stand quietly, by, witli folded
arms, while their countrymen and 'kindred
are being tutlilessly slaughtered by a band
of barbarous ruffians, is what they cannot,
nor will not plerate. It is . but an act of
common humanity to send protection to
our fpllow country -men in that distant and
semi -civilized land, in their hour of peril,
and they must, and shall, have it.
Donald A. Smith, of the Hudson's Bay
Company, appointed Commissioner by the
Government to proceed to Fort Garry, ar-
rived on Saturday at Ottawa, and had an in-
terview with Sir John A. MacDcnald, and
lett the same day for Montreat, to return to
Ottawa again Monday. Mr, Smith says that
the reporta that he did not exert himself to
save Scott's life are unfounded. He alleges
that he entreated Riel first, and, finding
that of no avail, protested. He even had
the execution delayed one hour, -but Riel
told the Rev. Mr. Young that all entreaties
would be of no avail. Mr. Smith alleges
that Riel is preparing for war; and that if
MS demands are not conceded, he (Riel) al-
leges that he will secure the aid of twenty-
five Indian nations to make a stand. The
.delegates appointed at Fort Garry are ex-
pected in a few da.ys.

The British Minister at Washington has
intimated to our Government that _the
American Executive have received warning
of a projected Fenian `raid all along the
frontier from Port Huron to St. Albans.
The American troops have been put on the
alert to stop this threatened invasion. We.
opine, that there is but little to fear.
• ERRATUM.—Through the gross careless-
ness of a compositor, in last week's issue,
where the word " tacit" had occurred in
the copy, it appeared "trite in print,
thus rendering the sentence. in wkich the
'mistake occurred, senseless.
Messrs. Macnatnee and D. Barry, a de-
putation from St. Patrick's Society, Mon-
treal,- had an interview with Sir. John
Young, on Friday, to press for the release
of the Fenian prisoners confined in King-
ston Penitentiary. Deputations are expec-
iteci from other cities.

EXECUTION OF SCOTT.
We make the following extracts -from the
New Nation, the organ of the murderers at
Red River. It gives an account ot poor
Seott's death, with some othei news of in-
• terest to our readers:
Thefirst military execution ever wit-
ni tied in Ruperr's Land, we believe, t ok
place at Fort Garry op the 4th inst. The
person shot was Private T. Scott, who came
neve from Canada last summer, and his ex-
cution took place upen an order of a court-
martial held at Fort Garry on the 3rd inst.
Mr. Scott, it will be in the recollection of
marry. was among. the Canadiami captured
in Dr. Schultz's store °Tithe 7th of Dec-errF
ber last. He lay in confinement at the
Fort with the other prisoners some weeks,
and then, accompanied with several others,
,made good his escape from the Fort one
fearfully cold night.
Immediately before the close of the last
Convention, Mr, Scott--awho had.fled to the
Portage—came down wrth the others from
that locality to liberate the prisoners. Sub-
sequently, as is well known, this Portage
movement assumed a more'serious aspect,
and the capturing of the Fort and overturn-
ing of the Government was aimed at. But
this was abandoned.; andMr.' Scott was a-
gain captated with the Portage brigade on
the morning of the 17th ult.
From this time forth, Me. Scott was very
violent and abusive in his language and
actions, annoying and _insulting the guards,
and even threatening the President. He
Scott) vowed openly that if ever he got
out, he would shoot the President ;- and
further stated that lie was at the head of the
party of the Portage peeples who on their
way to Kildonon, called at Coutri's house
and searched for. the President, with the
intention of shooting him-. "
THE COURT-MARTIAL.
At length he was court-rnarthdled by the
tribunal of Adjutart-General Lepine, and
eondemnedto death. His judges were
grieved to pass his sentence, but they con-
srdered the unfortunate man had brought
his doom on himself and could' not be suf-
fered to escape. Only one member of the
Court Voted against the decision. The
prisoner was duly informed of the sad re-
eult, On the evening of the 3rd inst. He
was taken back, confined in a seperate
room, chains taken off, pen, ink and paper
given to him, a comfortable bed made, and
every other attention -paid. . His doom be
was assured was irrevocable, and he was
told he could have the services of any
clergyman he desired in tbe meantime. He
sent for Rev. George Young, who at once
attended arid did what he could for the un-
fortunate man. Next morning, on hearing
of the sentence, the clergy of St. Boniface
-
assembled, and some of them - came to Fort
Garry to plead with Mr. Commissioner
Smith, that the prisoner -should be par-
doned. The President, as he had approved
of the sentence, said ,he could never revoke
the decree of the Adjutant's tribunal, but
the President ordered that. all the soldiers
should be assembled before the execotion.
and thatprayers should be offered up for the
condemned man.
SENTENCED TO BE SHOT.
. The; prisoner was sentenced to be shot at
10 o'Clock. Before that hour Rev. Mr.
Young, vijio had been with the prisoner,
waited on' the President and Adjutant -
General, and urged again that the unhappy
man's life should be spared, stating -that he
was not prepared te die. The Adjutant -
General said that the sentence ceuld not
be revoked, but that in deference to the
statement' of Rev. Mr. Young, the execu-
tion would be postponed till noon.
HIS FAREWELL' REQUEST.
• During all this time nothing would con-
- vince the prisoner that his execution would
be carried out, and only when the guard
came to lead him out to be shot didhe re-
alize his sad fate. !.‘Then." he said, "as I
hm about to die, I wish to see my friends,
the other forty-seven prisoners." This re-
quest was conceded, and hesaw them, and
bade each along last good-bye. Rev. 1Mr.
-Young continued to attend him up to the
last, and endeavoured to lead his mind to
the full contemplation of the awful end be-
fore him. At noon, or a little after, Scott
was let out the Fort, blindfolded, and with
his hands; tied behind his back, afiring-party
Was detailed, and but we will not de-
tail the sad scene. Having knelt a few
moments in prayer, with Rev. Mr. Young,
the prisoner said: "I am ready," and in a
few moments he fell.
The whole affair is a matter of profound
regret-. The President of the Court-mar-
tial regretted- extremely that they should
feel -themselves driven to this course ;- and
all will join with us in regretting the dire
necessity of this case, and in hoping that
Red River may nevet witness such another
scene. The unfortunate deceased was bur-
ied about.the middle of the east court -yard
Fort Garry. -

X0 the Editor of the Expositor:
SIR :—In your last issue, I see it hinted, that
there is in certain quarters a cherished design to
make a Throne in Canada, and put Prince Arthur
on it, under the title of Arthur the First of Cana-
da! What a charm there is in these high sound-
ing titles! Those who are so desirous of having
the little Prince as " King to reign over us,'
doubtless are prompted by economical motives, to
establish an authority that will reduce taxation,
and keep down the public debt. It would 1*
pleasing, besides, to be able to showbrother Jona-
than an example of good Government, and dazzle
his eyes with the splendor of a Royal Court. -
Royalty would be an admirable institution for cer-
tain genteel -gentlemen, who would like to hang
on royal favors, and bask in its smiles, inwhite
satin breeches. The fear I entertain for the suc-
cess of this royal project comes from two or three
sources. 1st. The country is rather cold and
ungenial for the growth of royal plants. They
do not appear to thrive well in this coiitinent.
2nd. The people do not appear to appreciate such
blessings at their proper value. The tendencies
of modern opinions are not towards strengthening
the claims of royalty, and I fear the people are so
thoroughly indoctrinated with democratic ideas,
that royalty can never take a deep root among
them. It can scarcely hope to receive in this
country, that slavering worship so essential to
perpetuate its existence, nor impose upon the peo-
