Ole, British Columbia,,, Resolu-
'-qoj:is Plesedf,
The resoinWns. brought dpwn by
the Government„ embodying * the
tesms upon which. the. colony of
British Columbia to be aanlitted
ilato the Confederation, and to whicl?.
wereferred last week have been
sanctioned by Parlia.ment.: The
discussion upon them, at the various
-stages; was exceedingly Epiyited.
The.9pp0s1tisa put forth. every ef-
fort to defeat this inest notoriously
unjust and one-sided agreement, but
411 in.vain. The Government 1;12:us-
tered their forces and carried, every-
-thing before them. We are sorry.
to say that the supportersof the
Go+ernment from Ontario lroted to
a man, to saddle the country with _
this iMmense burden,. the heaviest
share of which will fait -upon the
people of this, Province. Had the
Ontario members all voted against
. the. motion. adopting these resolu-
tions, there would have been a ma-
jority of the House against them,
an1..the Government would/have
been defeated. We hope the peo-
ple of Ontario will tear this fact in
Mind, and that, when these servile
•supporterS of Sir George Cartier ap-
pear before them for re-election next
summer, they will treat them with
the scorn and derision to which their
ections so justly entitle them. At -
the present rate of procedure, the
Domiuion of Canada 'will soon be
one 4;1 the most heavily taxed coun-
tries 7.,a the world. We sincerely.
-trust, that the Electors .of Cintatio
will do their share, when the time
arrives, to stay this tide of reek:less
-extravagance; by rejecting t.it :the
polls, every. one of the -se reptesen-
tatives who, have shoe n themselves
to be so lavish with the iieople's
hard earned -money.' Tne following
are the various; amendments which
were moved, by the Opposition; to Sir
George Cartier's motion to adopt
these extravagant. resolutiolis :—
Mr. Mackenzie moved- an amend-
ment to the effect, that Canada
should not be 'pledged to do more
than peoceed at °ace with the necess-
ary sut veVS, and after the toute is
determined, to prosecute the work
ettaeeettely a date as the state, of the
titian see_ wi)1 justify. Mr. 'Jones
mOved: an amend (31lt " that the
pro eesed engage tit e rite respecting the
saiel, Pacific Railway would, in, the
opioiona of thie floes°, press too
licavily on the resources of Canada."

• THE Joint High Commiseion, it is
rumored, will bring their labors to
close about the end of the present
onth. The • proceedings are kept
secret, but, notwithstanding, the
Washington correspondents are busy
concocting reports of what is trans-
piring in the Commission. One of
the latest of these is to the effect
that the fishery question is being
fully condidered. and will be definite-
ly arranged, and that the Alabama
claims are to be left for adjudication
to another Coininission,, the mem-.
bets -of which will be appointed' by
the present one. Little reliance Can
be placed oe the ae rumors, however,
as the Watihington • coriespondent
never hesitates, when necessity de-
mands, te draw on his imagination
for his facts. ,Whatever may be the
result of the • deliberations of the
COmnii,ssion, it will have to be _sub-
mitted to the -United States Senate
for approval, and it is said a special
session of that body will be called by
the President for its consideration.
• WE learn that a deputation from
Clinton is shortly to vieit London,
in order to endeavor to persuade the
Directors of the London, Huron and
Bruce Railway, to reverse their de-
cision regarding the route of the

have lost the. prize, they reproach
themselves for their former celdness,
and. seem, determined: to unite in
making, one more strenuous effort to
secure it.; Aa it is now with the
• people of Clinton, so it will be with
the- people of Seaforth, if they do
not embrace the opportunity of se-
ceriue their future prosperity, which
ha, been placed in their way. Re-

Fee Trade: Victory ---Free Salt.
and Coal.
The re0-Trader (New -York) re-
ferring to the proposed change in,
the 'United States aaritT, says: At
htsteafter years of untiring labor,
amid defeats and diecouragements,.:
a great victory has been won by
the free-traders. In its conse-
quence it willbe a:Sedan. The 'Tic- .
tory, as all Our readers know, was,
won on coal and salt; the free-trad-
ers having a majority of three to
one. Even 'Dawes and Bingham,
• the authors of the • infamous wool.,
and woolen :tariffs of 1867 voted
with the 'majority. The rout of
the protectienists in the House is
complete,. The Senate's temper is.
shown by the test vote to table the,
coal bill, which was taken on the
last day of the last session ; it stood:
15 for tabling to 33 against it.
The protectienists then had time on.
their side, and by fillibusterin,g pre-
vented action. It 'is now conceded,
by even, the monopolists that the Sen-
ate WilIgive us free coal and salt, if
•a vote can be obtained. • We have.
Won our fiest great victory, and a
very complete one it is ; bat we are
not simply iconoclasts, we are prac-
tical men; and now it reniains.. to
secure a tariff which will tax the
people on fair principles, and give
the Government a revenue for its.
just needs. We had anticipated'
that when the reaction against the.
robbery and tyranny of protection
•should set in, its moMentum, re-
sulting .from the wrongs of •an in-
.
Jared people all at once awakening
to a sense of the wrong done them,
might sweep away the whole tariff -
system e• and •the action of the
Reuse in voting to free tea and
coffee as well as salt and coal con-
firms this view. But it must be re-
sisted, if a eecond reaction twainst
free trade is, to be avoided. .'''Free-
traders keow that •governments are
necessary, and that they must be
supported, and it behooves them to
say hew it is to be done. The
Free -Trade League has often pro-
claimed its policy, and we will not
do more then simply ieiterate it.
Frame a tariff on articles of exclu-
sively foreign origin, which can be
made to pilot -ince $130,000,000 in
-
gold ; maintain the internal evenuO.
system, whibh is goodl for $120,000,-
000 currency more, and the prob-
lem. is solved. This is an attain-
able ieforni, and . one which will
overthrow protection., which is what -
we have fought against."
Curious Will—An Old Bachelor

Needy all of his property is be-
queathed to his horees. The farm
of eighty aces is set •apart for their
exclusive support, and $300 a year
• to each "is also provided for their
additional welfare.. $1,200 a year
is appropriated to recompense a man
whose whole time and skill shall be

provision, the executors; who are
Dr. It. A. Tereune and a New York
