The Civil Service Superai nuatical Bill was the subject of a discussion in the - ouse of Commons at its Saturday's sitting. Sev- eid members of the Maritime Provin es ob- Jee;ted that there were persons now the . employment of the Dominion who had pcac- tically become superannuated in the service of the late Province of Canada, and they ar- gued that it was unfair for the Maritime Provinces to _ be taxed for the support of these retiring officials. Hon. Mr. 4nglin meutioned the case of one person who was dismissed by the Hon. Sandfield ,Macdonald " who did not possess much of the milk of human kindness in dealing with -public fun= ctionares," and said that the dismissed offi- cer was now employed by the Dominion. Mr. Mackenzie `reminded the gentlemen from the Lower Provinces that; the Domi- nion having taken over the Customs and other Departments, there were really very few official situations in Ontario and Que- bec, and therefore it was reasonable the per- sons thus thrown out of employment should be engaged by the Dominion Goverment. He also pointed out that the library f the late Province .of Canada was handed ver to the Dominion without comjisnsati n, al- though Tthough it was worth $200,009 ; a d the same might be said of the furniture a d 'fit- tings of the Houses of Parliament, worth $250,000; sums vastly in excess f the amount the Maritime Provinces wo ld be called upon to contribute in the way propo- sed by the Bill. He deprecated sectional discussions. Hon. J. Howe deliveked an eccentric 'speech. . He, was not afraid but that the House would do justice to the smaller Provinces ; but he was more afraid of his colleagues, for they were often unjust and unfair. He also suggested the xpedi- ency of going around and hanging a doze,n, or so out of each office. The- first nd se- cond resolutions were then agreed to . Mr. Godin on the third resolution, called atten- tion to the case of persons dying befo e they reached the period at sshich they were enti- tled Dti-tled to the benefits of the scheme, and said that on concurrence he ' should m ve an amendment to make some •provisions for the wives and families of such person . Sir F. Hineks said the Government did of in- tend to turn themselves into an . Insurance Company on behalf of the relatives of de- ceased employes. The measure was not for the benefit of the latter, but for the .public interest, and to enable the Government to get rid of persons who were incapacitated by age for work. After souse further discus- sion the resolutions were agreed to without amendment. Concurrence on Tuesday. The House then went into Supply. An item of $10,000 fora road between St. Anno des Monts and Fox River was challenged, and brought several members to their feet. Mr. Mackenzie, who said' if was a case of "log rolling," moved the item be struck out: His resolution was lest, but a proviso moved by Mr. Mackenzie, to the effect that no fur- ther sum should ire granted for the same read, was carried. This brought the House to recess, and after recess. the Canada Cen- tral Railway Bill wits inoved by Hon. Mr. Abbott Sir John A. Macdonald said the hon. member for Cornwall, who was absent, wished to be heard again against the Bill. Hon Mr. Abbott said he couldbe heard at other : stages. Hon. Mr. Holton said that the arguments against the Bill had been brought before the Committee, in the words of Shakespeare, with " damnable it- eration." The Speaker, who evidently could not stand Shakespeare's vigorous phraseolo- gy, shouted " order." Hon. Mr. Holton challenged the Speaker's decision. The Bill was reported, and ordered to be read a third time on Wednesday. Hon. Stewart Campbell's Bill to enable the Synod of the English Chinch of Nova Scotia to associate itself with that of the Dominion was moved for a second reading. Mr. Mackenzie op- posed the Bill as beingmost. objectionable. There was no established Church in Canada, and the Parliament had no jurisdiction in the matter. . Hon. Mr. ' Abbott supported the Bill, which was opposed by Mr. Mills, who said there was !nothing to prevent the two bodies acting together voluntarily if they diose. Hon. Mr. Dunkin said Par- liament had power to regulate, that the Bill touched no other: denomination than the one referred to, and could hurt nobody. Hon. Mr. Holton favoured the idea of the Bill as a sequel to the Confederation of the Provinces, but thought the House should do nothing that looked like legislating on reli- gious subjects. He advised postponement. Hon.. S. Campbell urged the lateness of the session as a reason for not accepting that suggestion. After some other members had spoken Sir John A. Macdonald suggested that the Bill should be read a second time, with the understanding that it should ue discussed on the third reading. If the Do- minion Parliament could not legislate no other body could, unless it were the Inlpe rid Farliam;en t, and to go there would be useless. With that understanding the Bill was read a second time, and the third read- ing fixed for Wednesday. The House then again went into Supply. TUESDAY. The House did not commence . its sitting to day until 7:30, owing to the detention of the Speaker. at Prescott. The militia es- timates were. all voted. Sir George E. Car- tier stated the expenses of the military schools would be limited, and confined to those- who intended to serve as officers in the militia or volunteers. He < further stated that the Dominion Rifle Association would be gradually diminished. Several other items were passed through Com- mittee. On the item for culling timber, Hon. Mr. Morrison stated that the Govern- ment would examine the question, and re form or equalize the expenditure. tt THE Ef URON EXPOSITOR. Red River Loyalists. The following has been sent to the Gov- ernor General by '.Ur: Lynch To His Excellency Sir John Young, K. C. ., Governor-General of the Dominion of Canada. MAY IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY— Representing the loyal inhabitants of Red River, both natives and ,Canadians, and having ' heard with profound regret that Your Excellency's Government have it in consideration to receive and hear the so- called delegates -from Red River, 1 beg most humbly to approach - Your Excellency in order to lay before Your Excellency a state- ment of the circumstances under which those hien- were .appointed, in order that they may not be received or recognized as the true representatives of tine people of Red River. These so-called delegates, Father Richot and Mr. Scott, were both among the first originators and promoters of the outbreak, and have been supporters and associates of aMr Riel and his faction from that time to the present. When the delegates were appointed at the Convention, the under•sined, as well as some fifty others of the loyal people and leaders of the loyal people, wore in prison, on account of having obeyed the Queen's .Proclaination issued by Governor McDon- ald—Biel had possession of the Fort .and most of the arms, and a reign of terror ex- isted throughout the whole Settlement. When the question came up in the Con- vention, Riel took upon himself to nomin- ate Father Richot and Mr. Scott, and the Covention, unable to resist overawed •by an armed force, tacitly acquiesced. Some time after their nomination a ris- ing took place to release the prisoners, and 700 men sgathered in opposition to Riel's Government, and having obtained the ie - lease of the prisoners, and declared that they would not recognize Riel's 'authority, they seperated. In the name and on behalf of the loyal people of Red River, comprising about two- thirds of the whole population, I must hum- bly, but firmly, enter my strongest protest against the reception of Father Richot and Mr. Scott, as representing the inhabitants of Red River, as they are simply the dele- gates from an armed minority.. 1 have the honor to request that your Excellency will be pleased to direct that in event of an audience being granted to those so-called delegates, that I may be confront- ed with them, and given an opportunity of refuting any. false representations, and of expressing, at the same tirne, the views and wishes of the loyal portion of the in- habitants. I have she honor ,of inforining your Ex- cellency that Thomas Scott, one of our fel- low countrymen, a loyal subject, has been cruelly murdered by Mr Riel and his asso- ciates, and that these so-called delegates were present at the time of the murder, and are now here as the representatives, be- fore your Excellency, of the Council which confirmed the sentence. I have the honor to inform your Excel- lency, that should your Excellency deem it advisable, I arr. prepared to produce the most ample evidence to confirm the ac- curacy and truth of all the statements I have here made.

Our able contemporary the Monetary Times remarks the case of salt,. a dis c:.iminating. duty against _American, has been resorted to. This is directly opposed to ,the Royal Instructions, as recently quot- ed by the _Government itself, in a case of disputed legislative ,jurisdiction between a Province and the Dominion. This salt duiey we apprehend, is intended to be prohibitory. There was a way in which the demands of the salt producers could have been met with- out exposing us to the danger of any of the mischievous effects of monopoly. A spokes- man of a deputation who waited on the Fi- nance Minister, said that he would under- take to guarantee that the duty he asked for should not have the effect of 'raising the price of the domestis article above a specifi- ed figure, which was a ieasonable one. The duty might have been levied on a sliding scale ; to be operative while Canadian salt continued to be produced at the designated price, but to cease, whenever it went above that mark. This would have been a guar- antee that the price of domestic salt would not have risen unreasonably under the oper- ation of the import duty.
