The election will take place next fall. The candi- dates have yet to be nominated, the platforms to be tpromulgated, and no end of spread-eagle speeches and polieical buncenab to be got rid of, so the politicians have a busy sum- mer befere them. The Republican Party is divided into• two hostile • factions. It is difficult for an out- sider to discern the exact grounds on which the two wings of the dentin - ant party disagree, but the principal "bone of contention seems to be the re-election 'of General Grant. It is • generally admitted that Grant *will be the nominee of the majority of the Republican Party. The anti - Grant section dissent from, his nom- ination, and have called, a Conven- tion, which is now in seseion in the city of Cincinnati?, to de- fine their position, and, possibly, to nominate their candidate for the Presidency. The Convention. is pe- culiar inthat it is not comPoss-d of delegates elected to Tepresent their separate constituencies, but. is made' up of a heterogeneous mass- of self - constituted representatives, every -one going who may have so wished. tech State, however, in order to prevent the undue influence of those having the lergest number of delea • gates, will be allowed to cast only a number of votes proportionate to its population. If the malcontent wing of -the Republicans would join hands heartily with tile Democrats, a party might be formed strong enough to prevent the re-election of President' Grant, but of this there is little • prospect, as the bolters are mostly Republicans of the Itepublicans, whose political antecedents and per- sonal character would forbid such. a • union.

If, therefore, these gentlemen can appear before their constituents next summer, and shake before their faces this munifi- cent Government Grant for local impro-vements, it will be almost sure • to sceure their return. This is- the way the money of the people is squandered by lour Government in erder to buy for themselves a con- tinued lease of office.

We see it stated that, in our re- marks of last week on a certain clause of the report of the London, Hut -dal and Bruce Provisional Di- rectc is, i“ sneered at Mr. Scott, of Bracefield, and Patrick Kelly, ,S of Blytheas men of no influence." This is not true, and only an idiot ebuld take such a meaning from our ',remarks. We hold Mr. Scott in the money which it is proposed to raise' :,!highest esteem, and believe - him to . . . by sacrificing to the Americans our '.be.,,,p05sased of as much influence in magnificent fisheries and ether ter- ritorial rigrit4 will be spent. How long will a free, intelligent, and en- -lightened people tolerate such con- clu6t, by veting for servile tools,who will wink at it, merely for the sake of securing a petty pax ty_ victory, or in the mistaken belief that by so do- ttig, they uphold certain principles I This is a matter which directly effeets the pocket of every elector, and every man who has a vote to cast should, independent of all party leanings, vote to put a stop to mach •proceedings. • -- Where are our Bayfield friends?

The Dominion Government have already commenced to trim their pails preparatory to entering upon the battle for a second lease of the Treasury Benches. They_ have con- trol of the Dominion money hags, and they, thus early, evince a deter- mination to make free iise of the powerful influence which these -frill exert in certain constituencies. *They have become, all at once, exceeding- _ ly generous with the funds of the people. So much is this the case,. that they are actually endeavoring 41 force Money upon the people of particular constituencies • for peblic iMprovernents, without even being asked for it, and without the people having the -slightest idea that Gov - eminent Grants for such improve- ments were required.

What we did say was that it would be im- possible for Mr. Scott, no matter how great his influence, to guaran- tee a bonus on behalf of the munici- pality which he represented on the Delegation. More than this, it was not our intention to direct niore at- tention to the names of these gentle- men than to those of any other mem- - bers of the Delegation, but merely used their names as the ones which came most readilyto reeollection, to show the absurdity of th.e statethent to tvhich we took eiception. The Kingston Penitentiary. By the report of the Penitentiary Direetors j utlaidebefore Parliament we learn that in the Kingston Peni- tentiary, during the past year, there has been a great falling off in the number of inmates. There has also been a marked decrease in the num- ber ofcommittals, while the number of recommittals have decreased in even greater proportion. The Di- rectors attribute these results to the increased prosperity of the country within the past few years, there be- ing now abundant employment for all. Notwithstanding the decrease in the number of inmates of the insti- tution, however, the expenditure ha& considerably inereaSed. This is accOunted for by the increased price .of upplies And the- increased silo,- • de of officials, togethert with the iacft that a much less sum. than form- • erl has been realized from the labor ofihe crvicts, owing to the large deereas1 in numbers over former years.- A state of affairs such as that referred to must be highly gratifying to every wellewisher of humanity-, and it is sincerely to be hoped that the report each year may disclose the, fact of a. continued de- crease, •until -there is•nOt 'a convict • left wittiin the walls of this institu- tion.

' Another week has passed, and the great measures of the session have not yet been reached. It must not be supposed, however, 'that the time has been wasted. However eager the senatorial gladiators may be to -rush into the thickest of the fight, theee are certain preliminaries which no wise man will overlook. It in tlet be reinembered that private mem- bers of Parliament when they first meet in session, are at a disadvan- tage compared with the Govern- ment The latter are possessed of all the information bearing upon the Ineasares to be discussed. The fur- ther 4now little more than the general public. Hence, while wait- ing for Government measures, they haveqmproved the time by moving for pipers on a variety of subjects. We have had motions for papers re- lating to the Treaty, to the Fenian Raid Claims, to the Canada Pacilic Railway, to theintercolonial, to the • Canal systam, and to a number of °diet sunjects. Some of these peper.s have already been prepared end laid on the table, and are being quietly worked up by individaal embers into speeches which* are et t9 be delivered. Then with the sameobject in view the. ,Govern- ment have been called upon.. to answer a string of questions every dey, and in some cases in which Ministers do net care to give infor- mation, it is a.musing'to watch. the ingenuity with which they = evade a direct answer. . •, THE BOUNDARY QUESTION. Let me run over the week's work and extract the points likely to be of in.terest.to your readers. A mo- tion for papers relative to the North West boundary of Ontario, elicited ; from the Premier, the information that there was a eorrespondence go- ing: on with the Ontario Govern- ment on the su.bject, but no conclu- sion had yet been reached. I am in e position' tO state that the On- tario Government Rte having a very elaborate report on the subject pre- pared,which will no doubt be sub- • mitted to the Legislature at its next session. In general terms, Ontario inclUdes the whole tract ef country red by the streams flowing into es Erie; Ontario, and Huron; no doubt a more definite divid- line will be agreed upon. With ect to the boundary line be- tween Manitoba and the United States, it is well known that a differ - enc . exists. 12, ast session a sum of nu) ey was voted to pay our por- tiori of the exPense of a Joint -Com- mission to be 'appointed by the Im- . , per al and Unite,d States authorities, to ettle the matter. Nothing, how - eve e appears to have been done; but the appropriation is to be i e - voted, and doubtless, if the Treaty is amicably settled, this 'natter will not long be allowed to remain in dis- pute. THE FISHERIES AT PRESENT. In answer to a question, Dr. Tupper, who speaks in the Commons foP the Minister of Marine and Fisheries, announced that uneil the Treaty of WaThington wae ratified by bur Parliament, the fisheries , would continue to be protected. It will_be seen from the published conispondence that the Imperial Government at theinstance of the Washingion Cabinet, urged our Government to anticipate the action of Parliament by orening our fish- eries to the Americans last season. This our Government resolutely de- clined to do, and Dr. Tupper was able to announce that the Imperial Government would continue to aid Canada in protecting, the fisheries until they are opened to American fishermen by act of our Parliament. JONE1 AND AGRICULTURE. • A committee to enquire into the Ageicultural interests of ' the Do - Minion, has been appointed at the instance of ]Ir. Francis Jones, of South Leeds and Grenville--" Gravi- tation" Jsnes, as he is styled, *from having one session undertaken in a public lecture to overturn the gravi- tation theory of Sir Isaac Newton. This Committee will meet, draw up a list of questions and send them all over the country. From the answer, the clerk will compile a re- port which will be laid on the table wf the House, and there the matter will end. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion on this subject. Mine is that a committee to enquire into the physical and mental con- dition of the Man in. the Moon, would be productive of as much practical utility to the country. A NEW-BRUNSWICKER'S BILL. Mr, Costigan, of New Brunswick, has intioduced a Bill to compel members of; the Local Legislatures in those Provinces where Dual Re- presentation is not allowed to resign before dieting themselves as candi- dates for the Common. This meas- ure is actuated by petty jealousy, rather than a desire to serve the public intereats. The evil—if evil there be—lies in a man sitting in both Legislatures, not in being a candidate for one while he sits in the ether. But then some members* of the Commons feel a little jealous of their brethren in ' the Local Houses, and would be glad to throw •any obstacles in the way of their rivalry. The present measure is piompted by just such feelings. MORE DOMINION NOTES. Sir Francis Hincles has succeeded in getting a Bill passed to give him yet more power in the issue of Do- minion Notes, Briefly stating, it amounts to this: ITittder the 137tnk- - ing Act of last session, he could not issue more , than $9,000,000 in Do- • minion Notes, unless he held dollar for (lento.- in. gold, for any issue above that amount. By the pres- ent measure, he proposes to remove • this check, and to take power to is- sue an unlimited amount of notes, holding as security only 20 per cent. in geld, and the balance in bank de - :posits. What the effeA of this may- be, I do not pretend to predict; but the more cautions financiers in the House, while admitting that it may do very well while our present prosperity continues, hold that it will be found to be a most unwise step if a period of depresaion should set in. STAMPS AND POSTAGE. A brief discussion on a bill of Sir John A. Macdonald's for the avoid- ance of certain doubts respecting the larceny of stamps brought out a very general opinion that the_Stamp tax was very vexatious, inconvenient, and open to the practice aforesaid, and should be abolished, 1 the rev- enue derived from that source, about $100,000 a year, being, made up in some,other way. A question to the Goyernutent brought out the announcement that they do not intend to abolish or even diminish the poita,,, on n.ewepapers, as the expenditure o the Post Office ed, we may state that in the Public *Aceounts Committee, on Monday, it was ascertained. that the Commis- sioners paid the firm. in London, • England, of which the Hon. John Rose is .member, cowmission of one per cent. for advancing the pay- ment of $91,000 on steel rails, while_ at the same time the money to make the payment was lying in the Bank of Montreal, not drawing interest. Mr. Walsh, one of the Commission- ers, pleaded as an excuse for this squandering of so large a sum of the public money, that "it was one of those things that was done without consideration." So the money goes. Methodist Ep1iscopal Uonference The Methodist Episcopal Church • the same putpose. The eToronto magnates upon receiving this infor- mation were almost struck durnb with astonishment, as they hacinever anticipated such generosity, con- sidering that the further improve.. ment of their harbor was of purely local necessity. But human nature is neyer satisfied; and the "more a man gets the more he wants." So it was with the Toronto City Council. They thought, when the GI-overn- ment were so .generous as)to make; of their own free will, so bounteots an offer, that if a little pressure were • brought to bear, upon them they could be induced to double the ameunt unconditionally. and thus save the city granting anything at all. _Accordingly an influential de- legation was immediately dispatch - 'led to Ottawa, for the purpose of carrying out this . Object, and we have little doubt but they will be successful. .

No w they ask Parliament to cov La but ing res accept this Treaty which they thus described. What better can the.0p- . position do than6 retoet uton them their own -words; and the only answer to them is that Canada is promised an Imnerial guarantee— equivalent to about 8125,000 a year—if she accepts. PONTIAC. 1...••••••••••Namon. The Financial Statement. Sir Francis Hincks, 'Finance Min- ister, delivered his Budget Speech in the House on Tuesday evening lat. The following is a synopsis of his remarks and the discussion which Department is in excess of the rev- enue. • THE INSOLVENCY LAW. The Bill to repeal the Insolvency Laws has, after three nights' discus- sion, passed its second reading. It was a somewhat sudden and extreme step to .take, arid the Bill will, no doubt, be thrown out by the Senate. The long discussion that took place on -the second reading revealed very clearly the strong feeling in the country, especially in the rural dis- tricts, against the existing law, as encouraging the fraudulent rather than protecting the honest trader. The niercant,il coramunity,howeyer, according to their representatives in the House feel the need of some law on the subject, and an attempt will again be made to a,mencl the law—an attempt which more than one able lawyer has made without success. RAILWAY GTJAGES. A discussion which arose on a motion of Mr. Bodwell's to adopt the 4ft. 8in. guage on the Interco- lonial, was cut iv two by the 'stand-, ing order of the House. A like mo- tion last year was defeated by only two votes, and there is no hope of its being carried this year. Every one admits that the narrow guage is the best but the Grand Trunk stands in the way. If that was a strong argumene lest session, it is much stronger now that a consider- able portion of the rolling stock of the Intercolonial has been built. titled the people to • sound prmciple t only what was requi the year. Sir A. T. introduction of the t the debate and mad me relief, it being taise by taxation for the service of alt deprecated the - eaty question. into: some very forcible remarks with regard to the result of the Washington negotiations. Mr. Blake deprecated in the strongest terms the ir- regular manner in which the Treaty haa been brought before the House. He re- buked. the Premier for putting up the 'Finance Minister to make apologetic ex- cuses for the Treaty, instead of standing up manfully and explaining his policy.. He then showed how erroneous were the calculations of the Minister, and declared that $150,000 was all the guarantee eouid. save to Canada, that being subject to large deductions from the claims of New - Brunswick arising out of the abolition of her timber dues and othei causes. He was followed by Mr. Cartwright in a. cautionary speech., during which he re - Marked that the banking measures of Sir F. Hineks would aggravate a crisis if it arose. Sir F. Hineks replied at some length, and the debate was con - tinned by speeches from Messrs. Young,, Tilley, and others. took place thereon: "He first referred to the comparative smallness of the public debt, which. he asserted did not exceed. $80,000,000 and then -remarked that since confederation over six millions of money had been ex- pended on capital account from revenue, whilst, in the last financial year (1870- 71) the net debt had. actually decreased. The savings bank deposits now amount- ed to four and a half -millions, and. there were held in. London at the present mo- ment $1,362,000 in Canada bonds, as se- curity against thee deposits. Instead of having, as in 1869, six and a half mil- lions due on exchequer bonds, they had not one on the first July, 1871. On the Intercolomal Railway over eight millions had been expended, and. they had four ' millions to the IntercoloniaI account in the Bank of Montreal. At the present time they had three n!iillionslying avail- able in London for general purposes and. 3 close upon one million as bank deposits. He then went over the aceoroats of the revenue and expenditure for 1870-1, on which he show- ed a surplus of $3,712,0o0. He added that on the current year there would be a surplus of $3,315,000, and on 1872-3, about one millon •' although in the ab- sence of full estimates of expenditure, the last named_ amount was of course un- certain- He glanced at the different items from which the ekcess of revenue had. accrued. He justified his own Mis- calculations as to the revenue by refer- ence to the apologies of the British Fi- na.nce Minister under similar circum- stances ; and then went on to urge that the present was the time to undertake the iraprovenient of buildings for public service; pointing out that, if their cir- • cumstances were different, many of the public works it was proposed to carry out might be postponed; while, on the other hand, not a few of them were of a productive character, and would. add largely to the revenue when completed. He noticed. some of the items of expendi- ture in the estimates, and referred, al- though as he said with great reluctance, to the Treaty of Washington. He felt it to have been exceedingly unfortunate that the fishery question had been mixed. up with others of an Imperial nature, and. deeply regretted the Premier had. been asked to sit upon the commission; but he alleged they had no choice, and urged. that, if we refused. to settle the matter on the basis approved by the • British Government, the people of the mother country might refuse to sanction t e expense of assisting us in the . protec- 1 tn of our rights, whilst, our resistance a ce would have excited. fresh irritation inthe United States._ He deplored the result of the negotiations, but had. al- ways felt there was no way of escape. After dealing with the argument that the mode of settlement zproposed. was a mean and shabby one, he asserted. that the obtaining of a fresh guarantee from Great Britain was a surprise to many per- sons ; and he traced Hon. Mr. Howe's late speech to a. feeling of disappoint- ment and. apprehension that Great Brit- ain would refuse 4-r assistance. He be- lieved that not onky would they get the guarantee they asked, but that they -would be allowecl to transfer the guaran- tee for fortifications ($11,000,000) to one for public works. He asserted that we could not borrow $40,000,000 on our awn • Security at less than 6 per cent;.but he calculated, if we hacl the guarantee, we should get the whele for 4 per -cent., a saving of $600,000 per annum. That was much better than going to negotiate a claim for Fenian raids. He admitted. that his calculations had been based. on getting only twenty-five millions for the CauaAlian .t. aciftc Railway. Of thirty millions, the charge at 44.per cent.,,and i per cent. for a sinking fund, 'might reach $3,000,000 per annum, ' but that would only accrue in the course , of ten years, and in the meantine many of the works would be becoming produdiv-e. He next touched upon the general com- • mercial prosperity of the country, illus - grating his remarks by reference to statis- tics of exports and imports. He did het think it prudent to propose anyreduction of taxation, especially as the United States were dealing with their tariff, and it might be necessary, especially if the duty on tea, from -which we derive near- ly a million of dollars, were removed from the American tariff, for us to admit that article free. He concluded by al- luding to the great increase in the COM- merce between Canada and Great Britain, and rather severly criticised those who advocated any change in the relations, • political er commercial, of the two coun- tries. Hon. Mr. Mackenzie expressed his gra- tification at the state of the finances, but condawned in terms of the high est in- dignation the humiliating position in which the huckstering proceedings of the Ministry had placed the country, and by this wretched chaffering we might save at the most $120,000 a year. He refer- red with great severity to lien. Air. Howe's freaks, and Mr. McDougall's late speeches, and deprecated utterly the idea of adopting a commercial policy that might discriminate against Great Britain. He did not agree with the pro- posal to leave the duties on imports un- tonclied, considering that the surplus en. - The Way Out of the Treaty Complication. The official correspondence laid before thd Imperial Parliament on the Ifith of Apeil shows that the United States Minister; General Schenck, consented to the introduc- tion of the English counter -case, mi the understanding that by present- ing this reply the English Govern- ment tlid not waive its protest against the indirect claims. General Schenck telegraphed to Mr. Fishy and obtained his assent t o this undei- standing. The rights of 11 either party were to be twejudiced by the contin- uauce of the pleadings and the Eng- lish Government was to have the privilege of waiting until- the arbi- tration opens, in June next, for the withdrawal of the American case. If by that time matters remain as they now are, the presumption is that • the English Government will with- • draw from the arbitration altogether. It is said that an informal under- standing had been arrived at bet veen Mr. Fish annir Edward Thornton for the -withdrawal of the Amexican case, on condition that England will formally repudiate the liability of neutrals for consequential damages. AI* Os A Great Advertiser and Patent Medicine Mtn Gone to the Bow -Wows. THE EXPECTED BATTLE ON THE THE TREATY. We are promised next week a Bill to give effect to the Treaty of Washington. The grand contest of the session will be over this measure, and the most remarkable feature of it will be that the Government themselves have put into the mouths of their opponents the very strong- est argument they could use. • In their despatch to the Imperial Gov- ernment, of 28th July last, they de- clared, speaking of the Treaty, that it has created general dissatisfaction in the country; that it has not re- moved the principal cause of differ- ence between Canada and theUnited States; that it cedes territorial * Seldom hes there been a more curious history than that of Mr. Helmbold, the great Nev York patent medicine man. A j*try few years ago he was a comparatively poor man, but he made a lucky hit -with his preparation, and before long his name and his physic were known over the whole of ibis con- tinent, and, to a great extent, in Europe also. His business became colossal, and he was, so far as his re- ceipts went, a millionaire. The Ilehubold's factory was a great hive of industry, and his retail store was the most gorgeous of its kind, even in gorgeous New York. Bat it availed him nothing, for money turned his brain. Personal extrav- agance and display bedame a pas- sion. He literally made an exhibi- tion of himeeif in the streets that made people think him* a madman. The Helmbold turnout was a vast and elaborately deeorated barouche, drawn by five horses, the harness of which was blazing with gold and sil- ver, and upon -whose backs were glittering lyre -shaped ornaments with bells. In other matters, he was eqaally profuse. Champagne he distributed like water, on. one oc- casion actually opening his store at night and entreating the crowdof passers-by, ragged and rich alike, to chink their fill, and this was but one of his costly eccentricities. Well, the end could have been easily predicted. The piles of money were scattered, • and in their place rose piles of bills unpaid.
