will readily _be admitted that thisis
fishing in deep water for a eharge of
corruption against the leaders of the
Ontario overnment. But, when
the facts ecorcie known, the corrup-
tion, eve as charged against Mr.
Iackenzie, entirely disap-
t is not attempted to be
hat in reporting as he did
vernnaent, Mr. Mackenzie
to melee personal gain.
But, on the contrary, the facts of the
case show .that he was acting direct-
ty in the interests of the Indians,
whose guirdian he was. A com-
pany had applied to the Dominion
Governnient to purchase this lot,
which formed part of the Indian
Reserve in the County of Larnbton;
The Government instructed- Mr.
Mackenzie to -% eine the lot and re-
port to them. This be aid, but as
the conipany intended to erect on
the lot- extensive oil refining works,
Mr. Mackenzie, in his eagerness to
encourage the establishment of these
works ise that locality, reported the
value of the lot to be less than he
had, previously been offered for it.
His object in doing this was, as he
afterwards explained, that he be-
lieved tIke company would buy the
lot for the figure at which he valued
it, whereas if he put the real value
.
upon the lot they would not buy
it at all, and their _works woald
not be located on the property.
The location - of these works on t is
lot wound have a tendency to v
ly increese the value of the adjo
ing lands, which also belonged
.-
'the Indian Reserve, so that, iuste
of endeavering to cheat the po.
Indian,'" as is being charged agabist
him, he tv!tts endeavoring to increase
the value' of the Indian property.
The only fault that cen possibly be
found against Mr. Mackenzie in tys
transaction, is that in his zeal to
benefit ' those* under his charge, he
tople upon himself too much, in-
stead o throwing the whole re -
r
sponsib lity upon the G-overn ment.
We lave now gone over the whple
list, and it will be seen that
when these charges, out of which it

We Would recoraniend the officers
of the Townshiej Associations to call
their meetings at as early a day 88
Possible, in order to electtheir de-
legates, that there may be a large re-
presentation at each of the above
Conventions. It is generally ad-
mitted by those, who profess to
know, that the elections will ' be
hurried on as speedily as possible.'
It therefore behooves Reformers to
be on the alert, and to have all pre-
liminary arrangements •completed'
• in good tinae, that &hey may enter
upon the coming battle -with It un-
animity and spirit which wMensere
success. Ile opponents of Referral
in this County, have not only got
their arrangements completed, but
are already working quietly, but in-
dustriously. If, .therefore, our
friends -wish to be successful, they
must also work, and the less tinre
allowed to slip before commencing
the better.
- What the result of these Conven-
- tions witl be, we, of course, cannot
surely piedict We have no doubt,
however, but that wise counsels will
prevail, and' that the strong*, and
most popular men will be selected,.
From what we can learn, the desire
is that Mr. Cameron should again be
a caudidate for the South _Riding.
Many friends of Mr. Archibald
Bishop, of Tjsborne, Warden of the
County, are most anxious that he
should allow himself to be brought.
forwarcli but we believe we are
correctin saying that Mr. ,Bishop is
• not prepared, nor does he desire to
become a candidate atthe present
° time. In fact we believe he could
not be induced to accept the nomina-
tion, unless in. the interests of the
- party it is deemed absolutely neces-
sary.
As a candidate fit/ the Centre
Riding, we hear. the name of Mit
John Leckie; Reeve.of Grey, freely
mentioned. Whether or not Mr.
Leckie could be induced to -become
a candidate' we have no knowledge,
, but we are sure that a more suitable
man could not be found to carre the
Retorna banner for Centre Huron.
He has for years acted as President
of the Reform Association of North
Huron, and has long been a most
energetic and faithful worker in the
Reform ranks, besides being for
several years an iuiluential neember
of the County Council. We do not
think the chbice of the Convention
o could fall upon a better or more
worthy petison. '
In the North Riding we have
heard Several names mentioned, but
• the more prominenkand likely are
those of Mr. Thotim-s Gibson, M. P.
• P., of Wroxeter, and Mr. James
Somerville,- of Lucknow. . We do
not know that either of these gentle -
'men wordd consent to become can-
didates. They are both' good men.
Of Mr. Gibson WE need say nothing.
_ He is already as well known to the
people of North Huron as he is to
-us3 his course &ne inthe last ses-
sion
of the Ontario Parliament is
his best recommendation. Mr. Som-
.erville is a man of marked ability
and energy, is well known through-
out the Riding, and is a forcible
speaker and a reliable -man; If he
should be the choice of the Conven-
tion, and should accept the position,
he would undoubtedly stand a good
chance of being elected.
Whoever the candidates may be,
• we trust they will be men in the:
support of whom the 'party can
* earnestly' unite. If united action
can be seeured, we believe the de-
signs of those who recommended and
carried ont the disgraceful division
of the County to which we alluded
last 'week will be frustrated, and
that, instead of securing a majority
of the representation of the County,
theyl will, ac the conclusion of the .
electioas, find themselves euohred
on their own. deal.
WE ARE _ glad -to' learn that Mr.
Boyd, of Prescott, has determined
advantage of an opponent. We
fear, however, that several of those
. journals to which we refer, in their
zeal, have -broken 'through these
limits." This being the case, it -be-
comes the duty of every enquirer
.after truth to examine well the - rca-
terial out of which it is being
attenirted to manufacture this po-
, -
iitital capital.
The following may be put down
as a list of the sins ascribed. to the
leaders of the Opposition, from whiCh
the Ministerial jonrnals are attempt-
ing to weave a web of corruption:
The discharge of the Brantford
gardener, The ProtonOutrage • The
Isolated Insurance Company Affair;
The Royal Canadian Bank_Solicitor-
ship ; .and last, The Robert Mac-
kenzie Indian Land Job. This, to
an unsophisticated reader, may seem
quite a formidable array, containing
almost sufficient to bury in political
oblivion a much stronger party, nu-
merically, than that against whom
it is cherged. But, as we enquire
into and. examine these charges,
they melt away almost as rapidly as
- snow before a June sun. Let us
see : The first, The discharge of the
Brantford gardener. It was alleged
against Mr. Mackenzie, Provincial
Treasurer, that he had discharged a
gardener Who was employed at the
-Institution for the Blind at Brant-
ford, because he had 4-oted against a
_friend of the Treasurer's at the last
-election. The facts are, that this
gardener- .had only beep employed
- -
for -,a ceFtain time, to do certain
woilt. _ 'When that _ time was up,
and where that woik was completed,
there was nething more for him to
do,. and consequently he was paid
his wages and allowed to look else-
where for employment. There is
nothine6very bad about this, surely.
Vvouldnot any employer have done
the same if acting for himself
.WhY,' then, should. not Mr. Mac-
kenzie do it in acting 'for the Prov-
ince, whoee.interests he is sworn to
guard.
The second' count in the indict-
ment is, that the leaders of the On-
tario, Government einployed a per-
sonr named Lewis, •to -proceed to the
toWnship of Proton, in the County
• -
of Grey,: and bribe Or frighten the
electors of that township to vote for
the Ministerial candidate during the
late election, upon pain of having
their lands inereased in price by the
Ontario Government. In answer to
this, it was proven, before a mixed
committeeIt of the House, hae nei-
ther- Messrs. . Blake nor mackenzie
knew -anything of the affair; but
on the contrary, that Lewis went to
-Proton of his own free-will and ace
cord, acting upon the advice of
friends of his own, who happened to
be of the Reform payty • also, that
for his actione'while in Pioton, nei-
ther the leaders of the party, nor
any members thereof, were in any
way iesponsible.
The third charge is that Mr. Mac-
kenzie, as Treasurer of the' Province
of Ontario, insured a -portion of the
Parliamentary buildings in Toronto
with a company of Which he himSelf
is President. This will not be con-
sidered so heinous a crime by the
electors when they consider that
these 'same buildings have been in-
sured.at at, much lower rate by this
company than they have hitherto
been by other companies, and that,a
very large' saving has thus been ef-
fected to: the -country. •
The fourth on the Retie that the
law firm of which Mr. Blake is a
mem.ber have. been appointed solici-
tors of the- Royal Canadian Bank,
' and that A portion of the Provincial
funds has been clepoAted in that
Bank . Thesloss has been taken off
this charge .by a staunch political
friend of those who prefer it, Mr.
Crawford, President of the Bank,
stated in his place in the House that
.the Board had determined to ap-
point the legal firm in question Bank
Solicitors several months before Mr.
Blake accepted office. Such evi-
dence as this- Should Surely be ac-
cepted as proof by those preferring
the charge, that there does not exist
the semblance of corruption. in the
transaction.
The fifth and last charge ie, that
Mr. Robert 'Mackenzie, brother of
Mr. Alex. Mackenzie, Treasurer of
Ontario, in his offieial capacity as
Indian. Commissioner and Valuator
of Indian Lands-, reported the value
of a certain lot of land in his dis-
trict, to the. Dominion Government

ledged he had been offered for it It

rted. It
ws,un
ad-
jourinnent would take place on Mon-
day, on account of the death of
Mesers. J. S. Macdonald and Mac-
Farlane. A .rule, however, was
agreed to upon the death of Mr.
Kirkpatrick sonie time ago, not to
adjourn.upon the death of a mem-
ber unless he was a Cabinet
Minister, and that if the Hotise de-
sired tO show some specia1 mark of
regard lor a departed member, they
would do it in some other way. It
is somewhat. singular that this rule
should have been first carried into
effect in the case of the man who
'first proposed it (Mr. J. S. Mac-
donald), and insisted most strongly
on. its adoption. An arrangement,
however, was agreed to in the pres-
ent instance, by which u.nopposea
business only was taken up ou Tues-
day afteinoon, and a large number
of members attended the funeral at
Cornwall. In the House, Mr. Mac-
donald's political friends and oppon-
ents joined alike in a tribute of re-
spect to his memory, all speaking of
him as a man who, whatever his
faults might have been, was devoted-
ly attached to his native country.
The prevalence of crimping at
Quebec, and the recent crimes com-
riped there, was the subject of a
bril discussion. The state of offairs
in the "ancient eapital" was de-
scribed by the member for that city
as a reign of terror, and he urged
the Government to take inamediate
and vigorous steps to stamp out the
practice of crimping, or the shipping
of ithe port would be destroyed.
The prevalence of this class of crime
at Quebec was ascribed.to the im-
munity holm punishment which
this class of offenders had hitherto
enjoyed, and to the want of a larger
force of water police, which is under
the control of the Dominion Gov-
ernment, and is separate and dis-
dna from the city police. Sir
Geofge Cartier intimated that the
law against crimping might be made
more stringent, so as to bring with-
in its scope those who employ crimps
as well as crimps themselves. The
Premier of Quebec announced that
his Government had offered a re-
ward of $1,000 for the apprehension
of the parties guilty of the late
murder at Quebec, and Sir John
Macdonald intimated that the water
police of Quebec would be increased
-to -thirty more.
Mr. Costiean's bill to compel
members of are Local Legislatures
in these provinces where Dual Re-
presentation is not allowed to resign
before becoming candidates for the
Commons came up again, and for
the second time its ostensible author
proposed to subsitute a new ,clause
for the old and only one in, the bill.
As this was a bill affecting the
qualification of members, Mr. Blake
tee* advantage of. the opportunity
to move an amendment prohibiting
members of Parlia-ment from becom-
ing shareholders of the company that
is to be entrusted with the building
of the Pacific Railway. The Pre-
mier made no attempt to avert this
proposal with fair argument, but
launched forth in the most violent
manner into abuse of Mr. Blake,
charging him' with corruption in the
Proton affair, and in short repeating
for the third or fourth time this
session, the charges which Mr. 11-..
C. Cameron failed to substantiate in
the Local House. This led to a very
sharp reply from Mr. Blake, and it
was two or three hours before the
House got back to the question be-
fore it. The bill was then read a
third time and passed.
A great deal of time this week has
been spent in Committee of Supply.
Several items of iuterest in connec-
tion with the present appropriations
were elicited from the Ministry.
The total cost of taking the census
and publishing the results, will be
about $410,000; of -this sum $100,-

pally for printing the reports and

Government were warned that filmy

the expenditute of so large

however, explained that this exoess
was owing to the militia enrollment
which takes place next March. He
also stated that the attendance of
volunteers at the camps for 4rill
would not be compulsory this year.
There was some discussion on the
apprepri-ations for maintaining the
Trinity Houses of Quebec and Mont-
real: Mr. Mackenzie declared that
.5hose antiquated institutions ere
of no 'use to commerce and shipp ng,
and gave notice that he would Move
in concurrence to have these vbtes

Mr. Langevin's canal resoluticeas
were agreed to after a brief discus-
sion. There was very little differ-
ence of opinion as to the neceSsity
of enlarging the Welland and St.

It appears to Her Majesty's Gov-
ernment,pondence between the two Governments,
th0 an agreement On the supplemental
article might probably be arrived at if
sufficient time were given for discussion.
If, therefore, the treaty is to be main-
tained, an adjournment of the meeting a
the arbitrators from the 15th inetant has
become absolutely necessary. With this
view I have the honor to propose
that on the meeting of the a,rbitrat-
ors on that day a joint application
shall be made for au adjournment
.for eight months. If the Government
of the United. States concur in making an
. application for adjournment it is the in-
tention of Her Majesty's Goverment to

G"Tertseiniesnosti• tion of the American
Government is stated to be as fol-
lows: To the proposition of the
British Government for the post-
ponement of arbitration it refuses to
agree. The protest contained in the
British proposition, it is believed,
may be sufficient to justify the ex-
tension of time asked for, and if the
Board should so decide, it is under-
pistols, which was rejected in hs ab-
sence. It was considered raobjecition-
t
able to allow a private emb r to
entrench Upon the peculiar pro ince
of the Minister of Justice and ed-
dle with the criminal law of the
land. Besides, it was not shown
that there is anything itt the tate,
especially in this country, to tees-
sitate so stringent a law.
Another ,bill Of Mr. Harrison's
would have shared the same fate had
it not been postekmed, -as the feeling
of the House was against it. This'
was a bill to amend the law relating
t
to aclvertisemen in. newspapers for
o
the recovery of 9 len aoods without

questions being asked. As the law
now stands any:. one can bring an
action tigainekal publisher for this
offence and reCover the penalty,
$250. The proposed amendment
was to prevent an action. being taken
without the consent of the Attorney
General or Solicitor. General.
A Ballot Bill proposed by Mr.
Fournier was re5ected almost with-
out discussion. ' The Premier said it
was too late in the session to 'pro-
vide the means for carrying out that
system eyen thobgh the House was
disposed to adopt it. The brief dis-
cussion however elicited from the
New Brunswick members, &ten
from Col. Gray, who had opposed
the system, the statement that it
had worked satisfactorily in that
Province. '
Another bill of Mr. Fournier's
shared the sarae fate. This was a
Bill to provide that Sheriffs or Regis-
trars shall be returning officers as
undete- the. old law, instead of being
appointed by the Governnaent as
stood that the Amelican Govern -
went would have no right to object,
but it positively declines to be a
party to any interference with the
terms of the Treaty without a new
Treaty stipulation.
Despatches just received from Dr.
Kirk, accompanying the English ex-
ploring party in Africa, confirm the
intelligence lately received regard-
ing the safety of Professor Living-
stone. Dr. Kirk in Iffs report states
that the great explorer is at Unyan-'
yeru be, in Africa, and is zealously
pursuing his re -searches through the
interior of the country. He is in
good health, and expresses great con-
fidence in the ultimate success of
his undertaking. Colonel Stanley,
the correspondent of the New York
Herald, is near the coast of Zanzi-
bar, with letters from Dr. Living-
stone containing detailed accoimts
of the extent and result of hie ex-
plorations thus far, which will be
forwarded for publication.

now. As this Bill -would. abridge

its rejection and it was rejected.

The excitement still continues in ref-
-erence to the nhie-hour movement. A
number of the firms have adopted it,
others continue the ten-hour system, but
advance the wages of the employees
while a firm like the Wanzer Sewing IA: -
chine Co. remain firm in their resistance
to the movement, - and their work -shops
are rapidly filling up, and work is gomg
on with but little interruption. The
conduct of the nine -hour men is certainly
condemned by the better class. It is
their praetice -to assemblein front of the
'work -shops of those who are engaged
under the old system, and as they are
leaving work treat them to a, dose of hiss-
es, groans, &c., and in some instances to
use insulting language, and in one ease
blows. On Saturday afternoons is this
especially the ease. My opinion is that
the nine -hour movement, as condutted
itt thie city is a failure, and results in in-
jury to the men and. their families:; for
instead of working but nine hours per,
day, they work as usual five days in the
week, and then quit on . Saturday at 11
a. m., giving them the • entire afternoon
-to themselves, which would undoubtedly
-be a benefit to the men engaged if all
were sober, indu-strious men, but such
men, as a rule, have said very little about
'nine hours, and. the others referred. to
receive their pay before noon on Satur-
day; and then spend a good. share of their
week's earnings before iiiiie -o"clock the
same night, and by that time are so drunk
they don't care for nine hours or any-
thing else.
A project is on foot, and there is to be
a public meeting this evening, to con-
sider the propriety of purchasing the
property formerly belonging to Sir Allan
MeNah for a city park. It is a beauti-
ful place, pleasant and ,healthy, and
would be a fine acquisition to the city
property, and unless purchased now, -will
be sold in small lots.
was no denying the principle of this
motion, and it was only defeated by
the
the Minister of Militia, who made
the appointnaentduring the illness
of the Premier, coiling on his sup-
porters to vote it down as a motion
of want of confidence. The truth of
this statement may be inferr0 from
the fact that so sound a lawyer and
at the same time steady Go -v rnment
supporter as Mr. J. H. qanieron
voted for the motion.
