Doings at Ottawa.
Pursuant to adjournment on Fri-
day last, the Dolt -Mimi Parliament
re -assembled on Tuesday. As Yet
there have been no discussions of in-
terest, and t. he business transacted
has been to a great extent prepara-
tory. Sufficient sparring- .has al-
ready taken place to show that the
old fire has not been smothered, but
-is merely smouldering, and will
brighten up into a blaze when
the wind rises. It is . generally
anticipated that the present will be
a noisy session. Notwithstanding
the extreme barreness of the pro-
gramme pieced before our Dominion
Legislators for their consideration
by the Government, the Opposition
are determined that, even over the'e
scanty measures, there Must be at g
of war. The proceedings will be
watched with the greatest eagerness
by the peeple, and recreant mem-
bers, from whatever partthey may
come, will have but small chalice 'to
escape detection this time. There
is a bare possibility that the Gevern-
merit will not be able to.weather the
storm through this session. They
are becoming more and more un-
popular every day. The clouds are
rapidly gathering, but whether they
-will pour forth their deluging floods
sufficiently:soon to drown the politi-
cal sinners wlio rule at Ottawa, be-
fore they, expire by. a natural death,
following the approaching election,
a few weeks will tell.
New Salt Block at Kincardine.
The new salt block just completed ,
for Mr. Levi Rightmeyer, at Kin-
cardine; is, we believe, the largest
and most perfect establishment for
the manufacture of salt on the 'Con-
tinent. Mr. Rightmeyer is a gen-
tleman of capital from New York,
•wtio had determined to, _give salt
manufacturing in Canada a fait
trial. He devoted himself for sever-
al months to a careful examination
of all the different methodsof manu-
featuring salt as practiced in Goder-
ieh, Syracuse, Clinton and Seaforth,
and finally decided to adopt the sys
tem invented by Mr. M. P. Hayes,
of Seaforth, which he founct in oper-
ation at the Merthants' well, in
thiS village, and in accordance with
that determination he purchased the
right to usel the patent from Mr.
Hayes, who also fmnished siorkiag.
plans and specifications foie the erec-
tion of • the block now completed,
and which is Certainly the largest
salt block on this dontinent, and
probably the largest in the world:
The dimensions of the building are
170 -feet in length by 76 feet in
width, and the pans have an evapo-
rating surface of • Three thousand
three huudtd and eighty-seven feet,
and a cepacity eqnal to the produc-
tion of 250 to 300 barrels of salt in
24 hours when worked to their full
• power.. As yet, oleaccount of the new-.
hOSS of the mason .work, the fires
have been ke,pt very low, out the
production of salt has been cm:I-ordi-
naryit' proportion to the quanfity,
of wood burned. We are informed
that the yield has reached one hun-
dred barrels of salt from less
than six cords of wood, a yield
hith,ei to unheard of in the manufac-
ture of salt in this or any other
country, and demonstrating beyond°
question the superiority of Mr.
Hayes' system of evaporation. If
this result has been teached in Mr.
Righteneyer's block, and we have
vasty reason to believe in the reli-
ability of our information, a com-
lete revolution has been effected in
,
the manufacture of salt; atid all oth-
er systems nsust give place to that
which produces such unpreeed.ented
results. The • peculiar feature of
Mr. Hayes' patent, by which so
great a saving of fuel is effected,
coasists in the heating of the brine
to any desired temperature before
its admission on the pans, Without
the consumption of any extra. fuel.
We are not informed of the exact
process by which this result is reach-
ed, beyond the fact that in the
Hayes furnace a large quantity of
the heat which is ordinarily" lost by
radiatior, is utilized for the heating
of the brine, and in this- way a great
saving of fuel is effected, and the
formation of sole on the pans is in
a great measure prevented. The
furnaces and pans constructed on
the Hayes system are not more ex-
pensive than the ordinary open pans
and not more than one half as costly
;.as the pans with tubular steam boil-
ers which are in use in Goderia,
while in freedom from repairs and
the -yield of salt they are vastly su-
perior: Ma„ Hayek has secured
patents in England an in the -United
States for Ms improved Brine Heat-
er and Evaporator. ' From the re-
sults which have been reached in
the IYIerchauts' Block here, and in
Mr.' Rightmeyer's Block, at Kincar-
dine, it would seem that this system
must very soon supercede all others.
in the menitifacture of salt.
The AcCounte of the Dominion.
The Public aceounts of the receipts
and expenditure of the Dominion
Governtnent .for 1871 were submit-
s.
ted to the House on Tuesday. The
receipts amotuated to $19,335,560,
and the disbursements to $15,623,-
081. The following shows the corn-
ypeaarars:tive receipts for the past four

It will be seen that there has
been an increase in the receipts of
each successire year, those of last
year being nearly four, millions in
excess of 1870: The expenditure
also shows a yearly increase, though
not quite keeping pace with the re-
ceipts, as will be seen by the follow-

FROM OTTAWA.
OTTAWA, April 13,1872.
I don't think -I can improve upon
the official report of the opening
ceremonies. For brevity and- COM
prehensiveness it Cannot be excelled.
"This day (Thursday) at 3 o'clock
p. tn., His Excellency the Governor.
General proceeded i, State to the
Chamber of the Senate in the Par-
liament Buildings, and took His
Seat upon the Throne. The - Mem-
bers of the Senate being assembled,
His Excellency was pleased to. com-
mand the attendance of the House
of Commons, and that House being
present, His 'Exeellency was pleased
to °pent, the Fifth -Session of the
First Parliament of the Dominion of
Canada, with. the. Speech from he
Throne." . The. imaginative reader
-
can make up a glowiug piatnre from.
this succioct account which T clip
frOna the 1 Official 'Gazette. r ' Pre-
eceeded in State" .means that His
Excelleacy drove up in an, open
carriage, with Lady Lisgar, through
the mud, like_ an ordinary mortal,
that be • was accompanied by a
.mounted body guard in uniform,
that a cOrnpany of yoltinteers
." presented mans" as he drove up,
that a salute was filed, and the
band played. "Was pleased to
Command," etc.,—that is to say, a
little old man,in tights and iv tent -
leather boots, with a black stick in
his hand, who glories in .,the eupho-
nious .Litte of" Gentlema,n. T-Tslier of
the Black Rod," approached the
Throne " and bowed so low and
remailled • down -so long that he
must have had a rush of Wood to the.
head: He was inforMed by His
Excellency. that His Excellency de -
sited the attendance of the I:louse of
Commons. Then he bowed again,
!sacked Up, bowed again, and having
repeated the prucess two or three'
timed, found himself at the bar of
the Chamber, whereupon he wheeled
rieht about and darted out, return-
ing in. a few minutes with the Com-
moners.. Then there were the gor-
geously dressed ladies on the back
benches, the grave Senttots on the
front row, a nuruheir of clerical and
legal .gentlemen in the centre, and a
crowd of all ages, sizes and complex-
ionsin the galleries—and.you have
the pietur•e complete..
THE MOVER AND. SECON1lER.
Jn the Comwons, in accordance
with the usual practice, nothing was
done, exceptanerely fot mat business.
On Friday, his Excellency's speech
was "taken into consideration."
Mr. Nathan, of. Victoria, B. a,
moved, and Mr. EdwArd,Carter sec-
onded the address. The speeches of
both gentlemen were Of the usual
order on such occasions. Mr.Na-
than appears tobe a man of practi-
cal abilityand a pointed .speaker.
Mr, Carter is a clever little Mon-
treal lawyer who succeeds Mr. Dun-
kin in the representation of Biome.
He was for four years a member of
the Quebec Legislature, hut at the
last general election was defeated in
Montreal Centre by Mi. Holton.
, THE FIRST .BRUSII.
It :has been tbe practice of late
years, both in England and Canada,
to allow (the address to pass pro for-
ma. The rule was followed in this
case, though a brief discussion was
unavoidable. As the Ministry de-
clined to bring down the papers re-
lating to the Washington Treaty,
till the Address was passed, .of
course there cbuld be no discussion
of that measure upon its merits.
There were, however, several ima
portant omissionsin the Speech which
Mr. Mackenzie took occasion to
point oat. What was their policy, he
asked with regard to the Treaty?
Won d they accept or reject it ?
Had hey "protested," as stated by
Mi. Langevin at Quebec 7 If so,
what had been the result of their
protest ? Did they still regard the
Treaty as a ",Comedy of Errors," as
charaterized more recently by Mr.
Howe? Did the Premier regard
himself responsible to Parliament for
signing the Treaty, and did he pro-
pose to assume that responeibility by
asking Parliament to ratify it ?
Surely Parliament was entitled to
some light upon these points, but on
every one of them the Speech was
Sir John, though appealed to
directly, kept his seat, and Sir
Francis undertook to reply. He
stated that the Gorrnment had
pretested against the Treaty and
endorsed every word that had been
uttered by both Mr. Howe 'and Mr.
Langevin. These .rematks left the
impression upon the House that the
G-overnment had determined to
oppose the Treaty. He then went
on to argue that Sir John went to
Washington inierely as an Imperial
Comtniasioner, and that he was re-
s'ponsible to the Imperial Govern-
ment and to them alone for signing
the Treaty.
Mr. Holton vigoiously protested
against this doctrine which he
characterized at dangerous and sub-
versial of Colonial tights. He con-
tended that the Premier of Canada
was responsible for alt his public acts
to the Parliament of Canada, and to
no other power on earth, and he
could not by any Means devest him-
self of that responsibility. Friendly
though the present. Parliament was
-to the.Premier, and -whatever. opin-
ions it might hold with respect to
the merits of the Treaty, he; believ-
ed it would notchesitate to reject the
dangerous doctrine laid down by the
Finance Minister, and he thought
that the Premier himself would not -
accept it.
Sir John still maintained silence,
and Mr. McDougall rose to.reply to
some remarks with respect to him-
self. In the course of his speech, be
expressed his 'regret that from the
remarks Of the Finance Minister it
seemed that the Governmentintend-
ed to oppose the Treaty.
NOT OPPOSED TO THE TREATY.
-Sir Franais hereupon in
the honorable 'gentlemanand said
he had misapprehended his remarks.
He had not said that they. were now,
opposed to the Treaty. They had
at first protested against it; that
pi °test had led, to communications
with' the Imperial Goyernuaent, the
result of which would be seen when
the papers were brought down. All
be could say now was that they
were now in perfect accord with the
Imperial Gavernment. Of course
the .only influence from this remark
was that our govern ;meat had agreed
with the Imperial Government to
push th.e Treaty through our Parlia-
ment in return for certein consider-
ations. This morning it is reported
that the bargain with England in-
volves the promise Of an Imperial
guarantee of a Canadian loan for.
the construction of the Pacific Rail-
way. -
After recess the debate • was
broeght to a speedy close. At the
last stage of the Address, Mr. Hol-
ton again arpealed to the premier
togive the House some information
respecting the constitutional ques-
tion of the responsibility of our
-Premier to Parliament for all his
public acts: •
Sir John, thus directly .appealed
to, rose, but only to decline to enter
into the discutsion at this time.
The Address .was then passed, and
the House adjourned at 8:15 p. m:
PCNTIAC.
NEWS OF .THE WEEK.
A very severe snow storm prevail-
ed in Chicago, and West, on Sunday
night and Monday last.
Navigation at Haanilton is fairly
opened, the bay tieing clear of ice,
and more than the usual number of
vessels are preparing to leave, some
laden with cargoes and others in
ballast. •
Advices from Madrid announce a
general armed rising of malcontents
throughout Spain. Other despatches
state that the Government is fully
prepaiid and competent to suppress
the revolt.
The ice is still firm on Lake Erie.
With the strong west winds it has
been driven dOwn and jan3med ab
the bottobi of the lake. Navigation
will not be open. before the last of
April or early in May.
A Philadelphia Grard Jury on
Monday found a true bill against
Charles A. Dana, of the New York
Sun, for libell on Wm. H. Kemble,
ex -State Treasurer, in an article
published in the Suits relative to the
Evans fraud.
It is'now learned that the Span-
ish Government offer the release of
Dr. Howard as an act of friendliness
•on their part toward the United
States Government. At the same
tittle they are not willing to admif
that the least injustice has, attached
to their action in the trial and .im-
prisonment of Dr, 'Howard.
Trade organizations ifi Ottawa are
moving for higher wages. The sand-
stone cutters on the Parliamentary
library and other buildings have
obtained an increase from their em-
ployers, who HOW gife them $3.25 a
day. The cabinet-makers have call-
ed a meeting.
. The Claimant to the Tichborne
estates, DOW in confinement in New-
gate prison, awaiting trial for per-
jury and forgery, succeeded in ob-
taining bail in the requisite £5,000,
as flied by Lord Chief Justice I3ovill.
The Judge; on preseritation of his
bondsmen, declined accepting them,
the prisoner will, consequently, re-
main in jail until the day of his
trial, in June next. -
Dr. Wm. Hewer, an English
miser, aged 84 years, long a noted

William Wood, of Fort Erie,
cierk to D. McLaren, has accepted
a challenge •of $2,000 from., the
Brooklin Aquatic- Society to swim
from Buffato Lighthouse to Wind -
;mill Point, a distance of six mites.
Not on.ty is the distance the greatest
ever attempted, but the current run3
strong in that locality. Mr. Wood
on a previous occasion swam three
miles -without stopping, and feels
confident he will accomplish the
task.
The Pope on Friday gave audience
to many citizens of ROtne, and four
hundred persons from foreign parts.
His Holiness gave his benediction
successively to all countries repre-
sented by visitors, particularly to
Ireland, Poland, Holland, and Unit-
ed States of America. He praised
France and counselled forbearance
and gentleness towards some too in-
tolertnt Frenchmen. He prayed
for Germany, subjugated as she was
by an anti-Catholic spirit, and
Austria, he said, greatly needed the
prayers of the faithful.

FROM NORTH CAROLINA.
_gxtracts from a Private Letter.
HENDERSON, March 31, 1872.
it has been very bad weather since
our arrival in Carolina. The oldest men
cannot remember having such a cold.
Maich as it`has been. Every thing is
very backward. here for this time of year;
_fall wheat is just beginning to cover the.
ground ; oats are Just coming up, early
potatoeS. are planted, and farmers are
ploWin • for corn and cotton and. tobacco.
It is fine weather here at present. We
had. a , ne warm rain last night, Aid
everyth ng begins to look like spring.
Peaph ree.s and plum trees will be in
bloOm ih a few days, and the trees will
soon be looking green.
I like the looks of the place very well,
for the time I have been here, but it is
not at all like Canada. It is in a very
rough state at present, and will be for
some time to come. The country is not
laid. out like Canada. Everyone has a
road of his own to suit himself. The
land. is good, if well worked and manur-
ed every four or five years. There is
quite a number of Canadians around
here, among them four fa:Allies from the
township of Flamboro, and they seem to
like it well. Some of them say this
land will grow 90 bushels of wheat to the
acre in a few years time. There has
been no clover grown around here hereto-
fore, but some small lots of it have been
sown for hay this year,. and it looks well;
it will be ready for cutting in May. Cot-
ton and tobacco are the moneyed crops
of the country. The people liVe chiefly
on. corn meal for bread. They grow the
white .corn ; it makes very good bread,
and. I believe it is better for one than so
much wheat flour.
Land manured with 200' pounds of
guano to the acre will yield_ 250 pounds
of cotton, which at present prices is
worth $50. .Tobacco with same manure
would yielc1700 pounds of leaf, which is
selling at from $5 to $40 per 100 pounds,
according to the curing of it. Coal -cured
tobacco is selling from $30 to $80 per 100
pounds, wood -cured from $5 to $20 per
100 paands. Flour is worth from $8 to
PO per barrel; earn meal, Pita barrel;
dried pork, 7 to 9 cents; butter 20 to 40
cents, sugar, 10 to 15 cents, coffee 20
to 25 cents. There is no tea to be got
-here at present. Dry goods as cheap as
in Canada. Dried apples $1 per bushel,
Land. is very cheap here at present, but
will soon raise in value, as Canadians
settle in here and begin to improve the
land and see what it -will grow. It is
now selling at from. $4 to7t5 per acre,
according to improvements and buildings
and situation. There is Plenty of timber
on Milt of the land and more will soon
grow. Land left out will grow in 20
years enough timber to make 30 cords of
wood tof the acre, but the second growth
is all pine and. it is very hard, just like
hemlock. There is plenty of good spring
water all over this section of the country,
better than I ever saW in Canada ; but
itis not a limestone country. There is
no limestone here at all.
The white men are big, able -looking
men, but awful lazy.' They will not
work until the very last push. Th.ere
arenot so many negroes as I expected to
find It is the general opinion in Canada
that the negroes rule this State, but it is
quite a mistake. It is just the reverse;.
the white people rule here and the laws
are strictly imposed. I saw a man
brought up and fined. for tying his horse
to a shade tree in Henderson.
• It is very healthy here I think from
the improvement that there is in the
health of my family up to the present
tinae.
The land is very-easyto cultivate. The
plowing is all done with one horse, mule
or steer, hitched to a plow; and never
harrowed at all. Horses are selling at
from $90 to $150 each; mules $150 to
$200; steers, $20 to $40 ; cows, $15 to
$25; sheep, $2 to $3 ; pigs, 2c to •3c per
pound, live weight; one-horse plows, $3
to $5 ; two horse plows, $12.
I would not advise any one to leave
Canada until they have been to see this
place, as it -would not suit every one.
ROBERT COATES, late of liullett.
In Palmerston, ajuvenile village, sit-
uated on. the main line of the Wellington
.41way; there are three general stores
lomg business, one first-class hotel, two
aggon and blacksmith shops, a boot anci
shoe shop, a harness maker and saddler's
shop, and two butchers' shops.
• In the m.anufacturing line there
are an excellent steam sa.w mill and lath
and shingle factory, a stave factory, a
tannery, and a steam grist mill, and
there is in course of erection a cabinet
and. furniture factory. There are also a
large hotel and saloon going up this sea-
son, and besides those already enumerat-
ed a nuMber of shops, as well as private
residences. A year or two ago, the
ground. where this village now stands,
was covered with woods. This shows
what railway facilities do for a country.
— Some days ago a young woman
about seventeen years of age, named El-
len Mills, living in the village of Mark-
ham, came into Toronto and laid an in-
formation before a jtstice of the peace
against two young men named Thomas
Fogg and John Hagerman, oharging them
• with throwing the contents of a bottle of
vitriol overher dress on the previous day.
She stated. that while walking on the
street in Markham_ she was accosted -by
them. and without any warning or pro-
vocation, ..she suddenly found her dress
covered. with what she supposed to be
water. The poor girl, in trying to rub it
eff, had her hands very severely burned.
Her dress was completely ruined, so
much of the liquid having been thrown
over it that it fell to pieces.

NEW YORK HORSE MARKET.
Tuzsniv, April 16, 1872.
The horse market for the week under
review has not been characterized by any
reinarkable clegred M activity. .There
has been nothing like even a lair distri-
bution of the largely accumulated. stock,
and those who, with the advent of ,mild
weather, had : calculated upon a brisk
trade, find themselves, thus far, most
certainly disappointed. The only mark-
ed improvement has been noticeable in
an increased demand forlow-priced work
horses, which sold at unchanged figures,
but with one or two exceptions, nothing
has been doing in pleasure horses of any
kmd, notwithstanding the roads are in
good condition for driving as well as
speeding, and the sea;sen far enough ad-
vanced.to warrant the anticipation of
an active demand for higher ipriced
am -
The absence of the demand for pleas-
ure horses in the general market is part-
ly due to the stringency in the money
market, but also in great measure to
the fact that •a better stock than former-
ly has of late been sent under the ham-
mer of the auctioneer, and that there is
a- growing confidence in this mode of do-
ing business :wherever transactions are
backed by the responsibilty ora respect-
able auction firm. The stock distributed
through these channels during the week
has been considerable, comprising in
several instances very desirable horses, •
and the prices realized were about the
same as in the general market.
GOLD.—The price of Gold_ in New
York fluctuates from 111 to 1114.
