Unprofitable It is very desire) le that a flow of immigration should be directed to our conotry. We have a vast do- main of new territory which needs peopling, and even the older portions of the country are capable of sustain-. ing a much larger population. The nese are Raid to be a peaceable, in- offensive, religious people. But, al the same time, their pe liner t reli- gious tenets, as well as their ems - toms and traditions, pre ent their ever becoming citizens of the coun- ty they live in, and render almost impossible their mixing or inter- mingling with its inhebitants. They have lived in ,Russia for nearly a hundred yeare," but still, we are in- formed, they are not Russians, but Germans in all respects, save their place of birth. Doubtless, as long a residenc,e among us would be equal- ly ineffectual in changing' their 'na- tionality or character. They, ate, moreover, almost entirely a nee of Immigrants. non-consemers. They, use almost impotence of immigration ie fully recognized by byth our Dominion andtgOutario Governments, and each of them expend considerable sums in endeavoring toattractto our shores the stuplus population of the Old World. Bat, while the de- sirability of, thus increasing our poimateima must be patent to every- one, there is another matter which should net -be lost sight of; The quality of the immigration, •eo to speak, should be regarded quite' as milt& as lits quantity. For some kinds of inartigran4s Canada offers an excellent field. for others it is, perhaps, as poor a place as they could come to. For every kind of agrioultural laborer, we have abund- . auce of employe -eta, and any such corning to Canada froai any country in Europe will certainly better their condition, and, if possessed �f in- dustry hetelligence, may Attain to competency and even wealth. For men of small capital who have been accuttomed to farming, our Northe est country offer% especial inducements, and for capitaliste also who would invest rn manufacturing we have ample room, but the mer- cantile business in this country is already over -crowded, arid little en- couragement can be offered to en- gage in that line. For :some kinds of tradesmen, also, we have room, but men of this class would have- to look rather to the ultimate advan- tage of themselves and their families than to the immediate profit which would result from their change. Only this week the Montreal papers nothing which they do not them- selves produce, their food is of their own raising; their clothing of their own manufacture. They are, likewise, non combatants, which, we believe, is the cause or their expul- ts;on frcm Russia. We are at a loss to know what considerable benefit a colony like the Mennonites could be to any country. It is fortunate, howeaert that there is ample room for. them in the Northwest, and though they may not make desirable citizens. they cannot be more ob- jectionable thpn the Indians and wild beastj3 who now 'occupy that territory.

The contest was short but sharp, and terminated on Monday last. Mr., Globs' ma- jority is 242. For this majority he may thank his friends of the niann- factur)tg centres of Oshawa and Whitby. The ,f9rmer, of which he is a resident, gave hiai a majority of 304,, and the latter 36. Mr. Holden carried a majority of the rural municipalities. Mr.. Gabbs' personal popularity was never dis- puted, but even with that in his favor, ha ' e ot been for the al- most una im hat ot support he receiv- "ed in his own town he wokid he been defeated. As it is, the Reform party hat e no reason for discour- agement. Although Mr. Gibbs has gained ground in the towns, lie has lost in the • townships. .Another election may entirely change the current, as the support of populous manufacturing towns is by no means to 'te relied on. THE PACIFIC SCANDAL Conamittee met at Montreal on Wednesday last. Another difficulty has been • drfigged forward to prevent the pro - contained a letter signezi by a munt gress of the Committee. It seems ber of machinists from Glasgow, coin- that 'Sir John has persuaded His plaining that they had been induced Excellency to issue- his proclama- tion disallowing the Oaths bill. The proclamation was • iSsued on Dominion. Day. When the Com- mittee met Mr. Dorion moved that Sir Francis Hincks be examined. N.La Macdonald moved that the * Committee adjourn. The Commit- tee accordingly adjourned till the following day without any action being taken. The plea of the friends of the accused on the Com- mittee is .that the instructions of of the House to the Committee were to examine witnesses under oath, but the statute empowering the Committee to do this has been dis- tillbwed, consequently the Commit- tee cannot proceed with theinvesti- gation without new instructions. Whatever the result may oe, it is now plain as day that the deter- mination- of the Government and their friends on the Committee is to bark enquiry at all hazards. to come here by a Cenadian Immi- gration Agent, under representa- tions Ihat they wOuld- hate receive..,, $2 tO $3 a dty, whereas they could scarcely obtain einploynient at $1, 50 a day, the letter goes on to state that in the, Old Country they earned- upwards of 30 shillings a week for only 51 hours' workand they complain bitterly of the clecep tion practiced upon them and warn mechanics in Eegland and Scotland -against emigrating to Canada. Ob- viously, men of the above class we have no place for. Mechanics spoil- ed by the English trades unions will find little in Canada to meet their expectations. Bookkeepers, clerks, and men of no particular calling or occupation form another class who rarely improte-their condition here, and who, therefore, should not be in. diced to come. I m uigration agents should_ be instructed, to be very care - in -their representations to tending immigrant& Every immi- grant who comes here and is diettp- pointed in his expectations will be likely, by- the representations he sends back to his home, to keep back half -a -dozen others who might be valuable acquisitions to our •coun-. - try. We have in the foregoing in- dicated the kind of immigrants like- ly to be benefited, by coming to Canada and, who would benefit us. BLit the immediate benefit of •im- mieration to a country like this is triPting when COLO pared with the ultimate results, and this should be carefully pointed out to and borne in mind' by the intending immigrant. There is another class of immi- gration which we --do, not consider. entirely desirableS e refer to that of people who are not homo- geneous with ourselves. We do not believe that a people who -maintain their own nationality-, language and • customs, througha long series of generations, -cau be a benefit to any -country when added to its popula- tion. The experience of our Ameri- can neighbors amply demonstrates this Since the beginning of their national existence, the greatest curse of the United°Stetes has been the exieteace of an inhomogeneous peo- ple in their midst --tee negro popu- lation, and of late years a fresh cause of trouble has been developed in the Chinese, another inhomogene- ous element. In view of this, we do not hail the expected settlement of a half -million Mennonites in the Northwest with the satisfaction. with which it is regarded by some of our contemporaries The Men - - master General front 1859 to 1860, Surveyor General front 1866 to '67. • He was returned at the last election by acclamation.

It would ap- pear, however, that the Russian troops have advanced as far as the lahivan seat of Government and A CunAN DisPa_TcH says the Spanish Minister of Colonies has re- quested iar telegraphic proclamation that the insurgents.. of, Oda fay e. down their arms, and end an inglori- ous war. . The _proclamation prob- ably conveyed an offer of amnesty to the insnrgents, although the dis- patch does not inform us On this point. _For nearly four years the Cuban insurgents have carried on a struggle against the most terrible odds, with a courage and fortitude un- surpassed. Though there have been several changes in the Spanish Goy. eminent in that time, there has heretofore been no disposition shown to coMpromise with the rebels. Probably the proclamatiOn above alluded to is intended to lead to a. peaceful solution of the matter in dispute, as we are informed that a Committee of the insurgents has been appointed to go to Madrid to _represent their grievances. The war has certainly been " inglorious" to the Spaniards, as it has been characterized -by the most revolting cruelty and cowardice on their part, hut to the insurgents it has been highly honorable, and whether suc- cessful or not, their conduct in it will -always redound to their glory. memeemeametnesnemee THE WRANOLING which has lately taken place respecting the obsequiet' of a, distinguished baronet suggests the thought that the imposing funeral processions and -ceremonies, with which it is the custom to bear to the grave the bodies of those who • that it has fallen' into their hands. And now cable -despatches bring us the intelligence that the Russian Government has given assurances that the troops • will retire from Khiva as soon as the Klein has been sufficiently punished for his treat- ment of Russian subjects. This would ,..seem to indicate that the Czar intends following the example of England in the Abyssinian ex- pedition. If Russia can thus over- come her lust for conquest alid leave unappropriated a possession her hands have clutched, the world may yet expect -great things in the way of national recognition of right and justice. We are *rather inclin- ed to thiuk, however, that it will he a long tirne,before the Khan is suf- ficieutly punished in the Russian estimation. , Siuce the time of Peter the Great the history of Reasia shows a series of aggressions. She has always gone forward in eerri- to t ial acquisition—never backward, and it will be marvellons indeed if' her traditional policy shall now be reversed. Without taking into con- sideration the (tenger involeed to the right's of ,other nations, as, for instani;e. the British interests in India, it would, perhaps, be the best thing which could happen should the Russians permanently occupy Khiva.. The condition of that coun- try could not be worse than at pres- ent, groaning under the most rigor- ous and bigoted tyranny known even in Oriental lands and the change to the more enlightened and broader despotism of the Czar would be a hapi4 relief. NEWS OF THE WEEK, Sir Samuel Baker, the African explorer, has been heard from. De- spatches have 'heed received from him, dated Khartoum, on the Nile, May 29, at which place he had A short time ago we made mention of a broker on Kiog street, Toronto, who was kuecked down in his office, and an attempt made to rob his safe between 9 and 10 o'clock in the forenoon. The fol- lowing account of a second daring day- light robbery is recorded in the Toronto papers: Mr. Malcolm Taylor, a res- pectable man, acting as agent for an Agricultural Implement firm in South Ontario, came to the city by Saturday morning's train, and at one of the hotels fell in with a stranger with whom he got into a casual -conversation. This appeared to be an inoffensive and geetlemanly person, and soon command- ed Mr. Taylor's respect. The latter, wishing to teke a view of the Queen's Park before the departure of the next train, asked his newly made acquain- tance to take a -walkl with him in that direction, which invitation was at once accepted and they set out together. The party treated once on the way, and. en- terteined his coinpanion in a pleasant chat -until that, had, reached the locality indicated. gliortly after entering the Avenue, they were Joined by two others, who appeared to be acquainted with Mr. Taylor's attendant, and all four proceed- ed. to the Park. This point was reached. • between 8 and 9 o'clock, and nothing whatever had occurred in the walk to suggest the idea _of dauger ; but they had not gone far amongst the trees when one of the men suddenly seized Mr. Tay- lor by the arm and struck him a heavy blow in the face with his clinched fist, which felled him. Another of the ruf- fians then drew a, revolver and held it to the prostrate man's head, threatening to blow his brains out if he made any noise. The "third in the meantime rifted the. pockets of their victim, abstractink be- tween $15 and $20 from his lithe and pocket book, and throwing the empty wallets down. Having finished their work, they warned Mr. Taylor not to speak or move for half an hour on- pain of being shot; and then they took to their heels.
