"THE WAY OF THE TRANSURES-!
SOR IS .HARD."
Never -was the truth of the words- of Sol-
omon more forcibly or clearly -41ified, than
during the session of the Dominion Paalia-
merit, which terminated last week. The
Session was the most lengthy, and probably
the most important, which has been held.
under the new order of things. Yet, lengthy
as it was, we believe we are safe in say-
ing, that there was much less goed and
wholesome legislation enacted than at 'any
previous teasion. Whereas, most of the
Government measures which were carried,
were of such a nature, and will undoubtede
ly have such an effect, as will be neither
creditable to the authors,orthose who aided
in forcing them upon the people. Besides,
severalt of the measures proposed by the
Government, were of so bad and doubtful a
character, that Ministers were compelled to
resort to the humiliating expedient .of aban-
doning them, in order to. Save a defeat.
Notwithstanding that a majority of the
members were at times most tractable and
docile under Governmental rule, yet, at -other
times titey became most stubborn and al-
most unmanageable. So much so was this
the ease, that on several occasions it was al-
most impossible to say what a day, or even
an hour, might bring forth. Indeed, Min-
isters were at times ,orely troubled lest
their refractory supporters -might take the
bits in their teeth, and -pursue their own
course, regardless of the incessant cracking
of the Gverninerat whip. At intervals
duringtthe session, these wayward support-
ers became so troublesome, and so boisterous
in their cries cif dissatisfaction; that.the in-
genuity of the occupants of the Treasury
Benches was sorely tried to devis e means,
whereby they might soothe the discordant
elements which had arisen. During the
whole time, the road which they were 9om-
pelled to travel, w -as= by no means a smooth
one, and it must have been with feelings of
the greatest relief, thatthey parted cone
pany with their followers at the close of the
session.
At thj commencement of the Session;
several of those who had been prominent
and leading supporters of the Government,
declared their want of confidence in them,
and intimated their intention, in language
- both -plain and forcible, of opposing the
Government to the utmost of their ability.
This determination they persisted in, and
acted upon, for a time, but finally Cooled off,
and absented themselves from the House,
probably- in disgust. The course thus pur-
sued by these newly born oppositioniets, to
gether with .tire action o4 some of the lead-
ing members of the- Rom party,—who
appeared to consider their own private bus-
iness of more iminediate importance than
serving their constituents, and guarding the
interests of theit country in the Legislature
of the Dominion,—encouragedithe Govern -
Merit to persevere even under the greatest
difficulties, and enabled theta to cairy seine
of the most diSgaceful and dangerous meas-
ures which have Pver been passed by a Cana-
. dian Parliament Had the parties referred
to, proved true to their pi ofessions, and not
neglected the interests of their constitu-
ents, some, if not ale, of these obnoxious
metssures, would have been defeated, and
the Hob. oceupants of the Treasury Bench-
es dethroned.

mencement of the Session t an imusuaily
-
Targe number of importantl-Measures were
promised. by the Government, but many of
them were, as we have alreadY said, :with-
drawr, and those which did, pass, and which
were less objectionable, were so amended,
that the authors must have - had difficulty
in recognizing their own . measures. The
Election Bill which was proposed by. Sir
John, was found to be so exceedingly -un-
populai that it had to be abandoned. The
Supreme Court Bill, which owed its Pater-
nity to the saniegentleman, was also thiewn
os er board in order to save the ship. The
Inteeest Bill, introduced by, Sir Franeis
Hiucks, for the purpose of 'gratifying the
old -fogy notions of the French Canadians;
wtts dtopped on account of its unpopular-
ity." The 0tirrency Reselutions brought
forward bv the same gentleman, were also
abandoned. In feet, of all the nieasores
-which composed the policy of the Governe:
ruent; brit thee& -becarn e law, all the others
being east aside, through sheer dread °frisk-
ing the existence . of the Government upon
the chances of their passing the ' Houte.
The three measures which have become law,
are: The Banking Scheme, the ;Tariff or
Customs Bill, and the Manitoba Bill. The
former of these as, at firet, most objection-
able, but after sundry amendments, and
much doctoring, WaS allowed to pass, and
although it may not • trecomplish 'much
good, -will not be productive of evil. The
UuStems Bill, imposing a. tax upon Wheat
Flour, Ceal, etc., was only carried by the
narrow majority of five ; and, had not a few
weak kneed Reformers again deserted
their party, and voted with the ,Ministry,
lye of but little legislation
to advance the interests an
prosi101itv of the •Dourinim
whilst others were attending to private bus-
iness instead of being in 'their -places in the
lionse_, this measure would not have be.
come law, and the Government who sought
to force it upon the people would havebeen
defeated. The last, and eitawnina gem of
Manitoba Bill,—was, to the ever-
lasting disgrace of our representatives, be it
said, carried by an overwhelming major-
ity, and that too with but slight amend-
ment. This Bill, howeVer, was kept back
by the Government until the close of
Seision, when many of the On-
tario, members,—thme most interested,—
had ]eft for their homes, and those who had
still remained firm in their posts till the
last, had become so thoroughly wearied and
'disgusted by the proceedings of the session,
that they had not the courage to exert them-
selves in opposing' it, as they wouldhive
clone, had the. measure been brought for-
ward earlier. The consequences iv*as,
that the Government, aided by their
most subservient 4too1s, gained the day,
and we have had forced upon us a meas-
ure which is an insult to every loyal -Cana-
dian, arida disgrace to the Legislature which
sanctioned it.
It will thus be seen, that during this Ses-
sion of nearly three months duration, there
has been only one Government measure pas-
sed, which will nottend to increase, instead
of lighten, the burdens of the people, whilst
several others herve merely been brought
forward, as a sort, of experiment, and then
abandoned. This comprises the work of the
Session. We leave it to our readers to„
judge whether it has been a profitable one
or not, or whether ,we have received value
for our money. It is our opinion, that the
fewer sueh sessions we have, the better will
it be for the country
There is one thing, however, which the
late Session has proven, beyond a shadow
of doubt, and we are sorry to be compelled
to confess it. There is no use in denying
the plain fact, that, through the recreancy
of a number of Ontario representatives, we
are yet under. the yoke of French- Canadian
bondage. Sir George Cartier and his French
followers still continne to -domineer over us,
and in almost everything we are compelled
to submit to their wishes and requests ; and
SO itwillcontinue to be, so long as Sir J.
A. Macdonald is entrusted with the guardi-
anship of the interests of Ontario in the
Dominion Legislature. Sir aeotge is the
ruling spirit in.the Cabinet, and all inust,,
render implicit obedience to him. We trust,
however, that the day is not far dista,nt,
when the Dominion -ship will be placed in
better and sure! hands. 'Until the present
men are driven from power, we must not
expect but that the Manitoba Bill is a fair
specinaen of the legislation which will be
meted out to us. However unpleasant it
may.be to us, to feel that we occupy so hu-
miliating a position, it ia certainly gratify-
ing to know, that the way of (those who are
transgressing against us is not so easy or so
smooth as it has been, andthat there is at
leasta faint hope of deliverance.
THOROUGH-BREDS I
8110RT-H0RNS) IN THE COUNTY OF HURON.
(This article was received, from a corres-
pondent, some weeks since, but its publica-
tion was inadvertently overlooked till now.
However, though it was clesigned to appear
immediately after the Spring shows, we are
confident that it will, yet, be read, with in-
terest, by our agricultutalists.—ED. EXPOSI-
o
ToR.)
J n connection with the reports of the
Spring exhibitions, in both the North and
South Ridings, we consider it most appro-
priate 'at the present time to give ti brief de-
scription of the different Durham bulls,
which have been 'shown ; and also of others
that have not been brought out, to the said
shorts, that is as far as we have information
concerning them. In the tranaitiou, from
rather an extreme wheat culture, to a mix-
ed system of husbandry, which must in-
clude dairy and stock -raising, our farmers
seem to be thoroughly alive, to the necessi-
ty of taking hold of the short -horns. We
see that counsy..agrieultural societies in
diffeient parts of our Province, are import-
ing short -horn bulls, while our farmers ap-
pear to leave it to individual enterprise,
which we think is altogether the best plan,
when the rnen are equal to the occasion, as
.we are proud to be able to say, our farmers
are proving. themselves to be.
We will start with the bull "Frederick,"
owned by Wm. Wise of the township of
Goderich. This bull, is DOW fully come to
maturity, four or five years old, we
think. He is a ponderous animal, vety
suggestive of an elephant—rather coarse
as to quality—too much neck ; but with
many (scrod points, and hard to beat as a
show b7u1r, he has carried off the first - prize
at our county shows, both last year, and
this ; and has also been a- winner at the
Provincial—we are not posted up as to who
bred him ; his colour is' light red and white.
"The Duke of Cempton," Geo. Chesney, 6f
Tuckersthith, owner, is nearly three years
dark red, was purchased from Mr.
Cochrane, Province of Quebec, is a very
promising animal, and if he improves as
lima the next year, as he has done the past
year, be will be apt to come in number one.
.A. twelve-menth ago, there was a coarse-
ness, and an apparent roundness of bone
about him that did not auger well for his
future, but he is well improved, and a good
a.ninral. $150 was paid for,himeand a hei-
feethe SaMe age) Some eighteen months ago;
he got the second Nize at both shows, this
spring.
"Dixie Duke," the property of Hum-
Threy Snell, of Hullet, two years old, was
classed, under two at Clinton, ancLover two
,Brucetield. He is a dark red, of very
, fine quality, but his points not developed'
altogether as they promised to do a yeaT
ago, then he wasadmired by all _for his
symmetry, and excited hopes which may ne-
ver be realized; we'think however, that he
has perhaps been slightly overdone, in the
way of forting; and that he May yet settle
down to &first class animal. He took the
lst prize at Clinton, under , two years—the
3d at Brucefield, over two years. We think
perhaps, that Mr. Snell,. bred -him, but are
not certain.. _.
iWe notic9d a bull, shown at Cliriton,
owned by J. McDonough, We think, of the
toWnthip of Colborne, a light roan, _some
three or four years old. He is a very tise-
114 animal no doubt, but we were not yery
11.1
favourably impressed with his appeara ce,
and not altogether what We expected iim
Mr. McDonough, recollecting, as we do/
the very fine specimens of thorough -bred.
cows and heifers shown by him, at the last
fall shows
"Rodney," owned by Thomas Grant, red
and white, and somewhere about 15 months
old ; bred by Mr.- Humphrey Snell, is a
very large animal for his lige; we think, so
far, that his general appearance is rather
clumsy—the quality rather coarse, and his
frame rather marrow above; he is too. young
yet, however, to say anything definite as to
how he may ultimately turn out—.we un-
derstand that ,$150, was paid for him not
long since. He got the 2d prize at Clinton,
and 1st at Brucefield. '
"Lord Maitland," the property of Rob-
ert Govenlock, of McKillop,—a dark red--
eome 13 months old ; and is from the cele-
brated stock of Mr. Douglass, on the Grand
River, below Brantford. We hear that
$350, was paid for him, and a heifer, the
same age, a few weeks ago. He it a likelir
animal—quite long enough in legs, but-
staitds well up upon them—has but little
developement of belly; and has a very hea-
vy coat of short hair. We will not hazard
a prediction regarding him, but must say, •
that we have seen some Douglass bulls that
were hard to beat. He got the 3rd at
Clinton, and the 2nd at Brucefield. ,
"Young Oxford," the property of Hugh
Love, Sen., of the township of Hay, a red
roan,. eleven months old; bred by Mr. John
Moffatt, of thecountyof Oxford, out of stock
got trent Mr. Stephen Moffatt, who was
among the first importers of short -horns in-
to the county of Waterloo. Yoling Ox-
ford, was got "by Blenheim Star," now 4
Nears old—he hs taken some 20 county
prizes ; and 2nd at the last Provincial. If
"Young Oxford," follows up the track of
his father, he will be a success. In the
mean time, he has not been forced,for show-
ing—is rather, thin in condition; and -too
much belly, .owing we suppose, to rather
soft feeding, but he, has good Points,—is of
1 6)
good quality ; and shows good blood.
Duke of Huron,'? the property of James
Broadfoot, of Tuckersmith, eight months
old—red,—he Was bred by Gee. Chessney,
of Tuckersmith, who received some $120
for him a few weeks ago. He is from the
heifer and bull, already described, which Mr.
Chesney, purchased Alm Mr. Cochrane of
Compton. The "Duke of Huron," is rath-
er small for his months, ----fine in the bone,
and neat looking. fle should develope into
a noble animal, as his pedigree is agood one.
" Helby," owned and bred by Robert
Carnoehan, of Tuckersmith, is a light red
and white, and nearly two years old, tho'
rather ciefficient in somepoints ; and inclin-
ed to be coarse in quality, yet he is a large
thrifty healthy looking animal; and for
every. day purposes, will likely be a good
stock -stetter. He is for sale, we believe, and
Mr. earnochan, offers him at a -tery reason-
able figure. It is now some four years since
Mr. Carnochan took hold of thorough-breds
—lie,haa been very successful both as 'a
breeder"and feeder.
So much for what has appeared at our
shows this spring. We have to note that
Mr. Cherries Tough, of Stanley, has purchas-
ed a 3 year old. thorough -bred bull this
spring; that Geo. Anderson, of Stanley, has
also one; and James Elder oi RodgersVille,
and some of the- Messrs. Hunter's, of Vs -
Wine, also own thorough-breds. We shall
make a point of seeing all those animals ;
and also the thorough -bred cows and heifers,
in our Riding, when we will return to this
subject again, as we consider it onet of very
great importance he our farmers.

ARV. XR. FLETCHEeS STATENEFTS AEO T
THE SETTLE3IENT.
The Canada Presbyterian Synod, 'being
in session at. Ottawa Rev. Mr. Fletcher, of
Rod Rieee was present, and by request gave.
an interesting account of his labours in that.
ccuntry, and of the feeling existing amontr
the peoLrle, more *Darticularly the portion of
them with whom his pastoral duties brought
him into immediate contact. At a place
five miles from Fort Garry is a flourishing
Presbyterian congregation of sixty or seven-
ty families, descendants of the first Scotch
settlers, who came out under Lord Selkirk,.
and who brought with them the religious
principles' and ideas of church policy they
had inherited from their fathers, taking care
to have their children fully instructed in
them. Before a minister had settled athong
them, they had been in the habit of meeting
every Sabbath foi religious services, which
were conducted by the members of their
own little community, who officiated as El-
ders. Now they have a minister, the Rev.
Mr. Black,sstationed among them; a cern- t
modious chureh built, a prosperous school
established, and the nuclues of a college
formed. Fourteen milesfrom this point is
another station, and at White Horse plains -
a third, in both of which a number of
Scotch Presbyterian families are located, to
whom .31r. Black occasionally ministers.
All the Scotch settlers are thoroughly loy-
al, having no symyathy with the movement
of Riel and his followers, though they con-
cur that Canada, did not act altogether fair-
ly with them in the matter of the transfer
of the country, and endeavour to impose on
them a new Government, -without consult-
ing their wishes. Mr. Fletcher related
some interesting incidents of his experience -
among the prisoners at Foit Garry, whom
he was permitted freely to visit, except on
one occasion, when he was prevented from
entering the prison, owing to the fact that
twelve of those confined there had just ef-
fected their escape, among the number 'be-
ing the unfortunate Scott, -who was after-
wards captured and murdered. Ignorant
of what had taken place he presented him-
self at the prison as usual, but was peremp-
torily refused admittance. The best under-
standing, as a rule, existed between the
prieoneres and keepers: who generally- Made
no objection to the friends of the former
visiting them and having free intercourse
with them. The people of Red River had,
during- two years of his sojourn among
them, suffered greatly—first from famine,
and now by war—but he trusted their
troubles were near an end, and that the
country would Won, as an integral pelt ot
the Dominion, enjoy the blessings of peac I
and prosperity, and rise to that eminence,
materialy and morally, which they all
hoped to see it achieve. The Presbyterian
Church of Canada had special duty to per-
form towards this people. The settlers in
the country were originally all Presbyteri-
ans, and many of their descendent,s weie
still traditionally so. It was the duty of
the church to see that the foothold thus
gained should be secured, and that the
spiritual 'wants of the adherents to the
Presbyterian forms of doctrine in that coun-
try, should be fully secured.

Fenians and Red River.
Chicago, May la—The report tele-
graphed yesterday relative to the concen-
tration of Fenians at Duluth is confirmed
'by newspapers published at that point. The
-St. Paul Press has news of the mustering
of Fenians in various parts of Minnesota,
and one party is now en route to Red Ri-
ver overland. There is now at St Paul a
Fenian force, of about 300, awaiting ar-
rangements fa transportation and subsis-
tence before commencing the March to Red
River. They will probably proceed by the
usual mail route, but may possibly go to
Fort William te oppose the landing. of the
Canadian expedition.

Commit tee of the Fenian Brotherhood has

The St. Paul Press publishes a letter
from Duluth which says
"A. large body of armed Fenians had ar-
rived at the latter place, en raute to Red'
`River to aid Riel. Each man was armed
with a breechloading rifle, pistol and knife.
" !Their first strike will be to capture
Fort Francis on Rainy Lake, which will -be
garrisoned by a few -men, while the main
force will harrass and dispute the passage of
the British troops through the rivers,
S\ amps, and mountains 'from Fort William
to Red Rives.
• At a propee time they will march down
and join forces. One party has al-
ready .etarted overlancl by the Vermillion
road. Another will soon tollow, and a third -
is preparing to go to the' same destination
