'The Tollewitig Bills were read a third time and vassed : Sir- John A. Mac .4dotiald---To amend the Act in rota - ion to the extradition of Certain sieffenders on the demand of the United .:-Stittes. Sir Johti A. Macdoriald--To am- -end the Act re.specting`cruelty to anima.. s, .4Bir Francis Hincks moved. concurrence in •the report of the Committee of the Whole -on the Banking Bill. Mr. Cartwright -moved an amendment to to the effect that, case ativ Rank chose to resign its cir- seulation and all profits that may be de- -rived therefrom, it shall not be required :to hold Dominion Notes as part of its re - sten' es, but may hold gold. He denied that lie made this amendment in the interest of the Bank of Montreal, and went on to ..iirgue that Government notes were not as old, seeing that there has been large de. filets eve, y year for a number ofyears, that , of last year being nearlyone million'. Hon. _Mr. Holton would have preferred to have 'had the whole section' out. He -taunted the Minisler of Finance Minister for de- ..clining to give any reasons for maintaining -certain clauses. Mr. Alex.. Mackenzie •-said that the whole scheme was intended to :provide, by illegitimate means, money ne- .43essar y to meet ever -recurring. deficts. He ...move4 in amendment to the amendment .tLat the report be not concurred in, but :that the Bill he referred back to Com- snittee with instructicns to strke outs the sulosection of the 1st section, which rprovides that Banks shall hold half of their reserves in Dominion notes. The vote .on this amendment was .taken without de- bate, and lost. Yeas, 35. ; nays, 104 =ma- jority, 68, .111r. Young approved of the am- ,endineut of the manner for Lennox in it- .-e1f,iut eonsideted that if it passedit might - enable the Bank tf Montreal to occupy a -position very dangerous to other Banks. He believed the principle whickthe•House 4,,osd adopted was a bad one; bff1niving *been adopted, it was desirable to have all ;the Banks ori the mine footing, and‘there- lfore he waa-oplosed to the amendment of the member. for .Lennox, The amendment -was lost—yeas, 13; nays, 128. Mr. Mac- kenzie moved that 'the Bank of British North America shall come under the double :liability clause after 'the 1st of January, )1875. Lost, yeas, 46; nays, 98. Mr. HBliver moved an amendment for allowing officers of Banks to vote on their own stock. • Lost on a division. Bill fixed for third -reading. A message was received from His 'Excelleucy, with estimates for the year -lending 30th June, 1870. The Bill respect- ing Dominion notes was next taken up. Mr. „Cartwright moved to provide that • when the Dominion' 'notes cease to be re deeraable in gold they shall not be required • to hold such as part of their reserves. Lost «on a division, and on Sir Francis Hineks' :motion the Bill was set down for a third ,readingoa Monday. After the Secretary 0 State for the Provinces' Bill had been wad a first time. Sir John A. Macdonald cloyed the second reading -of the Light - louses, Buoy i and Beacons Bill. Some dis- cusaion took place, in which Mr. Mackenzie espoke in disparaging. terms of the meas - Alter recess there was a long - dis- -eussion on the Gauge question, raised by the 'Great Western Railway Bill, which came 'alp for a third. reading. • A motion to strike out the clause authorizing a change of gauge was lost, and so too was one to secure trans - ./hip -tent, rendered necessary by the change sof gauge, without additional cost. The Bill was then read a third time. The Light -house Bill coming on again for con- sideration, was sharply criticized by Mr. Mackenzie. The Bill was read a second lime. Hon. Mr. Holton's persistent ap- ;Teals to the Finance Minister respecting ...the Budget were at last rewarded by the assurance that if not on an earlier day, Sir Francis Hincks' would unfold his financial -statement and policy on Tuesday next. MONDAY. Mr. Maekenzie, alluded in the strongest -.terms to the atrocious murder at Red Riv- ser, amid the cheers of the House, and 'asked Sir John A. Macdonald to place at the disposal of Parliament any information the Governuaent might have on the subject, in order that the members and the country snig,ht know what steps were being taken to *scum the safety of other persons still pris- -onets in the bands of the "ruffians " by whom Scott had been put to death. He also wanted to know what instructions, with respect to the persons held in imprison- - merit, had beea given to the gentlemen sent AS negotiators by the Government to Red •Ilive.r. Sir John A. Macdonald, admitting 'tirepropriety of the question, and the fact 4hat the murder had been committed, said az yet the Government had received no no - ice on the subject. Mr. Donald Smith had gone to spend Sunday with his family, and son his return, which ws hourly expected, -worild present a report. Sir John then -.went on to explain that the Commissioners vent to Red River had been instructed to pursue a policy of concgiation, that the -Government had no right to order the dis- charge of the prisoners, and that any threat on their part would have prejudiced the line of policy their representatives were pur- ;suing. He understood from Mr. Smith all the prisoners had now been discharged. ifon. Mr. Cameron wanted to know whether Ike -Government would discourage ship building in Canada by exempting certain ,articles—especially iron used in the con- 43truction of composite ships—free of duty. Mr. Coffin led off a charge of Nova Scotia -members, who wanted grants for the repair •esf piers and like structures, which it was iolailned. the Dominion Government should -support, and which were, it was said, at present in a very . bad state. Hon. Mr. Wood urged very strongly that such expen- ses should not be saddled on the Dominion. Mi.:Mackenzie expressed his willingness to vote money wherever the harbours were of public importance, and regretted to see sec- tional matteis introduced. Hon. Mr. Lan- gevin explained the classification adoptekl by the Privy Council of the several kind e of Intri/ors, viz .Governmeni—mixed (in winch the Dominion andLocal Govern- -ment shared the cost); harbour a which - advances mi&ht be made on _the security of their dues ; and those of expressly local character. Mr Wood moved a series of resolutions on the subject of a fund for pub- lic ituFrovement, created by the Legislaturo of the -late Province- of Canada. He ex- plained that in 1853. the Parliament of Ca; nada had redoced the price of Crown and hool Lands in Grey and Bruce in order to encourage settlement, and also provided that -50 cents an acre - should be set aside in a' fund for the overlent of the murk ty,, making roads, etc.. The effect of the in- ducements was that in a year and a half af- ter this was made known, four-fifths of the lands were settled. In al 0011rb of Equity a a private individual would be compelled, under similar circumstances, to fultil his promise.- In 1861 the Government ()x- i)] essed an intention, of discontinuingthe repayment of this amount. , Up till then the .promise had been faithfully kept. What he contended was, that the amounts received tip td 1867 ' for , land sdld prick t8- 1861 should be accounted for to the settlers. The amount would be a charge upon the late province of Canada. TUESDAY. The Banking Bill nassed its third read- ing. Sir F. Hincks moved the third read- ing of the Dominion N otes' Bill. Mr. Bou - well moved an amendment instructing the Committee of the Whole to limit th4 power of the G o v ern m en t to the issue of notes.of the denomination of one dol'ar and upwards, SQ as to prevent the circulation of a fraction- al currency. hir F. Hincks complained that che movement was brought forward at so late a stage, and went. on .to argue that the public were under a great misappre- hension with respeet to. the intentions of the Government. which were that the issue of a fractional currency should be of the most temporary character, aod only to sup ply any possible deficiency in. the circulation occasioned by the with • drawal of Atnerican silver. He had ouly ordered twenty-five cent notes to the value of -five hundred thousand dol- lars, and had great doubts whether .even that number would. 5e required. Meantime, Sir. John Rose was using his best exertions to expedite the new Canadian silver coinage. Sir George E. Ca -tier exhi'iterl an Ameri- can "shin plaster," and said that the Cana- dian note would differ therefrom, in that it would be redeemable in gold. The amend- ment was ultimately lost. Sir Francis Hincks moved to go into Committee on the Rate of Interest. Resolutions.. This mea- sure was debated at some length. • According to the Broad Arrow news- paper, the expedition to Red River district will be 300 regulars with a force of Cana- dian militia, and be under the command of Col. Wolsely. Communication. To the Editor of the Huron Expositor' : SIR :—I noticed in your issue of April 1st, in- stant, under the heading "Bluevale," a peke- graph,which stated that I, at my meeting at Gor- rie a few weeks ago, denounced the narrow guage railway, by calling it, " On India RubbezaRoad, ' "a humbug," "a swindle," &c. I have simply to state that there is not a word of truth in the paragraph "Bluevale." At the meeting, I simply warned the people not to be gulled by any set of railroad speculator, and I stated that any road, letit be narrow guage or broad, that pretends to deviate from its char- ter to catch municipal bonuses, was to all intents and purposes, " an India Rubber Road." At the meeting referred to, when an unanimous vote of •approval of my course in Parliament was carried, I was also thanked for the candid information given, as to the railway project. If your Bluevale correspondent would stick to truth, he would not attempt to create a feeling against me, on an un- founded and false assertion. If the anonymous scribbler will give his name, to the public, I shall be most happy to accom- pany him to Gorrie, and introduce him to James Perkins, Esq., Reeve -of Howiek, who was Chair- man •of the meeting refered to, also to many others who will state to " Bluevale eorreepon- dent," that he has stated that what is wholly un- true. It may be that it is attempted to make a little political capital out of this matter, as he states that "unless I change my tactics, that I will find myself minus," and asserts that this statement was Made by an " influential Conservative." I only wish that your Bluevale correspondent will give his own nanae, and the name of this influen tial Conservative, arid when next I hold a meet- ing in Bluevale, I shall be moat happy to meet your untruthful correspondent face to face, and I am convinced thatl shall prove, that he, and no one else, is the author of the unfounded statement. Hoping you will give this a place in your next is- sue. I am, yours respectfully, W. T. HAYS. Goderich, April 2nd, 1870. [As regards the above, we would, in the first place, ask the reader, whether Mr. Hays does not, substantially, admit saying all, with which he was accredited, in our Bluevale notes? If Mr. Hays will kindly take another look, at the article complained of, he will see that he is altogether at sea, in charging the production to an anonymous scribbler, inasmuch as itis editorial matter. Our Bluevale news is not furnished by voluntary cor- respondence, but by a reporter, and when it appears in our cslumns, it does so with the editorial endorse - tion. So, ;should it occur to Mr. Hays, to again challenge the truthfulness, - of anv statement made. in a similar manner, he need not worry himself in attempting to ascertain the actual writer, as it will suffice, to bring the charge agamot the EXPOSITOR. direct. At the next pub- lic meeting that Mr. Hays holds in Bluevale. he will he afforded the opportunity, which he pro- fesses so much to crave, of meeting the "influen- tial Conservative," that said, " The Hon. gentle- man will find, that the electors have brass backs, that will not stretch."—En.
