The following rem rks which we cull from Grip, are true as, gos- pel. It is astonisting that the people have allewed t emeelyee to be deluded so long. Ex. :dance, pojupled with recent events hich have been brought very forcibly t their attention, should open their eyes, f anything will. At any rate Grip pu s the *Aso very plainly in its remarks as follows': As was noted in our last umber, the cen- sus juat taken reveals the .humiliating fact that for the ten ears just ended the Dominion. of Canada has not grown in population by half a million, whereas the natural increase should ' have somounted to more t an that figure. Those,who really believ d that the trade policy inaugurated in 1 78 would trans- form farming villages in o manufactering towns, and draw capita and labor from the ends of the earth, fi d themselves at last rudely disillusioned tby cold official Ltda. This revelation oes not come in tSe form of blue ruin peeches by Grit orators, but from the li of the N. P. Government itself. An, notwithstand- ing the frantic efforts f ProtectiOnists to explain the situati it- by declaring that there must be' a mistake the ocelot, or that the een us of 1881 was monstrously exaggera cle the effect which we all deplore is Willy traceelele to an adequate -cause the " National Policy" iteelf. It is sai • that the use of toxicant" will stunt t e growth of a ild, and it is beyond all question that the stimulant put into the hands of Miss Celled& in '78 has had this effect. Pro- tection has been a good thing—and will continue to be a good thing—for a cer- to:in number of gentlemen engaged in certain induatries, but it makes, the catintry a cheap one to work in and a dear one to live in for artizans, while it imposes the heaviest burdens upon the farmerelumberman and fisherman, who, it common sense ruled our councils, ought in Canada to be the most lightly taxed of our citizens. The fact is, this atimulant is a rank poison, and if we don't give it up right away, and take steps to get the baleful effects of it out of our system, we are doomed. Fools and boodlers may continue to shout for the great N. P., but natural law will vindicate itself and overwhelm the puny forces that seek to see it at naught. Compulsory Attendance at School. The Ontario Legislature at its last vets:don passed a measure entitled the Truancy and Compulsory Attendance Act. This act came into force on the first of July last, and its provisions are very stringent. It requiree the attend- ance at school of all children, in a muni- cipality between the ages of -eight and fourteen years for the full term of each year, unless they can be excused on some one of the following pleas, viz.: If the child is under efficient instruction at home or elsewhere; if the child is un able to attend school by reason., of sick- ness or some other unavoidable cause; M there is no school within two miles 11 the child is under ten years of age, or within three miles if over this age; if t here is no accommodation in the school which the child has a right to attend; if the child has passed the Entrance Ex- amination to the High School. These are the only grounds of excuse except when the serviceof a child are required in husbandry or in urgent and necessary household duties, orite labor -is neces- sary for its own support or the support of some one dependent upon it, then on the certificate of a Justice of the Peace or the Principal of the school to which the child belongs, may be relieved from attendance it school for any period not exceeding six weeks during each public school term. Parents or guardians failing lor neglecting to send their children to school, if within the ages tuentioned, are subject, on conviction before a magis- trate, to a fine of not less than five Oi- lers nor more than twenty dollars for each such offence. Also, no child under fourteen years of age shall be employed by any person during school hours and persons employing such children during these hours are aubject to a fine of twenty dollars for each offence. In cities, towns and incorporated villages the municipal councils shall appoint one or more persons to act as Truant Offi- cers, and in townships the trustees of each School Section may appoint a Tru- ant Officer. It will be noticed that in the former ease the appoinbnent 18 bligatory, wh e in the latter it is per- .0/mfrs. Con oils refusing or negl • .

This is a ver important law. It de- sign is, that every child shallohav , at least, an opportunity of procuri g a Public School education. It furn.shes - ;machinery tha w111 ensure this r suit.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) ()wawa, September 14th, 18p1. A new and startling aspect has eeii given the Bak des Chaleurs scene 1 by the answer given to a queetion in the Senate by E.'retnier Abbott ntim ting that the Governor General hear transmi - ted a letter which he had received fro the Lieutenant Governor of Quebec, and Which was v. eopy of one which he had iddressed to Mr. Mercier as A) ime idinister. Much speculation exists aa 'to the contents of this letter address4d by the representative of the Crown to his chief constitutionil adviser. It w 11 be inade public this week by being la d on the Table of Parliament. It undou ted- ly asks for an inquiry into the Bai des Chaleurs matter and the disposit or of the $100,000 received by Mr. P c ud from Mr. Armstrong. It probabl a ke that a commission of inquiry be ap oi t- ad, to consist of persons named b he Lieutenant Governor, and Mr. Mer is unwilling to surrender his right to me the members of that commission. SIR RECTOR LANGEVIN. I believe I am in a position to just about what the report of the ity of the committee on Privilege Elections, with restpect to the charges, will be. It is understood at first Sir John Thompson ,prepaee draft report fully exonerating Sir Langevin in every respect, but o Dalton McCarthy's returist from land the leader of the Equal panty protested against this, an John Thompson amended the repdr censuring Sir Hector as Ministe Public Works. In order tha Government should not be involIfe this ceneure, it is necessary that Hector should cease altogether tolh any connection with the Govertimeot his resignation, which had been in hands of Mr. Abbott for some w' was accepted and declared to be The report, however, will not 1301201 ate or- nd rte at a tor r. ng- hts Sir by of the in Sir Ve nd the ks, 1. IUD him personally, but merely in his quality sal ;Minister of Public) Works, coniequentirit will not make it newts - Miry for the House to expel him from his seat should the inajority agree with the report.This is the point upon which the fight will take place as the Liberels contend that- the evidence is quite sufficient to convict Sir Hector of having received some of Murphy's money and sornef of Larkin, Connolly & Com- pany's contributions to the campaign fund, and upon his own admission he accepted large advances from Mr. Mc- Greevy which he has not, and never intends to repay, but for which Mr. McGreevy holds his notes paring the interest on them himself. The report will roundly condemn Mr. McGreevy and he will be expelled from the House. There being no doubt on that score there is iittle interest surrounding the McGreevy case. The • Liberals have prepared a minority re ort and both will be presented to tie House this for the great dweebeakte.and a day fix: .MR. CHAPLEAU'S TURN. The Printing Bureau inquiry has dev,eloped, into a scandal of tremendous proportions involving directly the Hon. J. A. Chapleau, Secretary of State. Mr. LiSter having proved that the Superintendents of the Institution ac- -cepted large bribes from those supplying the Bureau with material, turned his attention , to the agreement made between La Presets, of Montreal, and the Newf England Paper Company, which has a branch in Montreal and whose niusliager is. Mr. Young, whereby it was replied that the paper company should take the promissory notes of La Presse for $9,000, and that the profits on any GoVernment contracts which the New Ergland Company should receive, i should e divided with the newspaper and go o reduce the notes. These notes were endorsed by Mr. Chapleau, who is one of the principal owners and creditors of La Presse. Mr. Young swore that the lune° of La Presse told, him he should .have some contracts for paper from the Government, to be obtained throughlinfluence of Mr. Chapleau. Mr. Lister Pressed •Mr. Young to acknow- ledge that he had received a letter from Mr. Chapleau promising to carry out this corrupt agreement, by which Mr. Chapleau's private debts and private obligations were to be partially discharg- ed from the profits op Government contracts, which contracts were in the gift of Mr. Chapleau. Mr. Young at firet denied, then acknowledged that he might have received such - a letter, and finally after being threatened with arrest promised to make a search for and Pro- duce, if possible, the letter he had received from Mr. Chapleau. 1 The book-keeper of the pomiaion Type Foundry Company, of Montreal, gave sonief very significant evidence. He stated that Mr. Senecal gave them orders for type, but that Mr. Chapleau subse- quently weote to them that Mr. Senecal had no anthority[to order type notwith- standing that Mr, Seneca' had, showed them the Act of Parliament which gave him elms authority to purchase material . Shortly afterwards the com- pany were the subket of a demand for $1,500 all a contribution to the political, funds of the conservative aseoeitition. They gave the cheque aftee protesting against ijt to Mr. Chapleau and after that th book-keeper swore there was no trou+ about Mr. Senecel's orders; they wee honored in full, They sold $48,000 orth of type and peed Mr. Seneca' handsomely for his , orders, in addition to being bled for a political contribution. Incriminating evidence was also given' by Mr. p. A. Dansereau, who is DOW postmaster of Montreal, but who has for many years been the right hand man of the Secretary of State. With an air of simplicity he told the committee that he was requieated by Mr. Chapleau to go to New York and interview the manufac- turers of printing presses and inform them that they must not give a commis- sion to ay individual claiming to have the right to make a contract. This was evidently, aimed at Mr. Senecal. Mr. Danserettu swore that he not only told these manufacturers that, but also gave them the names •of the officers of the coneervative association in Montreal for the purpose of their sending subscrip- tions for campaign purposes to Canada. He also mentioned the name of the Toronto Conservative Association but did not give the names of the Miceli because he said he did not remembler them. He also accompanied Mr. Cha- leau to New York on several different occasions. I The investigation into this scandal is at- taining huge dimensions, and will be resumed to -morrow. , 1 TLE COCIIRANE COMMITTEE. The committee investigating the harges against Mr. Cochrane the mem- ler for East Northumberland, Ontario, f selling Government offices within is gift, hi now ready to report. The omcnittee has divided on patty lines and the Conservatives will report that hile the sale of these offices was s candalotui system Mr. Cochrane was gnorant of what was gokig,on and that no warrant for the charges has been foundto exist. The Liberele will - , prepare a report which declares that no one in his 'senses would believe from the evidence that Mr. Cochrane was ignor- ant of what was going on, and will contend that the evidence traces the 'money directly in to his own hands on Ione or ,tvro occasions. Mr, Cochrane has had the benefit of the assistanoe of Mr. B. 11. Ogler the celebrated Q. C., of 'Toronto, As his advocate before the com- mittee. e. TBAIE Dm CHALECILS COMMITTEE. The Senate Committee inquiring into the Baia des Chaleurs scandal has reported to the Senate. They find that $100,000 of the $280,000 voted by the Quebec Legislature to pay the debts of the reed was misapplied by its payment to Mr. Paeaud by Mr. Armstrong. An amendment by Senator Boulton, declar- ing that Mr.. Mercier was cognizant of the matter: and participated in it was rejected by the committee. The debate on the question is going on to -day in the Senate. IN THE ROUSE. The week opened in the House by the announcement of the acceptance of Sir Hector Langevin's resignation by ; the Prime Minister. Most of the week has been spent in committee of Supply and such rapid progreas has been made that only three or four items remain to be passed. There have been two or three diviaions resulting in a majority for the Government on each occasion of 23. On Thursday Mr. Patterson iipoved to reduce the duty on sugar of the re - i fined quality and to admit free raw au ar up to the grade f No. 16, which is a sugar that can 14. used by fully half the people of C nada without it ibeiag Mined at all. Thla was rejlited by a vote of 79 to 102. .-. A very important a noimcement was msde in an answer to a 4ueition put by Mr McMillan, of Huron, to the effect that the decision of the Government to permit of American ea tle to be imported alive into Canada an slaughtered at Three Rivers had bee reversed. This Is a victory for the 0 tad° cattle deal- ers against the Quebe influence which desired to see estab ished at Three Rivers, what is commonly known as the Dead. Meat Scheme nd which it was said would involve t e output of one million and a half oilers and the establishment of a v ry important In- dustry in Quebec. most important hill has passed its sec nd reading:in the Senate, namely, Mr. Abbott's bill to unish ail officiali in the public service who accept any mo ey or giit whateve from contractors or persons doing b siness with the Government, and also punish those who offer such bribes. The offence is made a misdemeanor punishable by a year's im- priscenunent or a fine of $1,000. A similar statute has been on the books for some years and under'tt those who have beea convicted of frauds before the committees can be ea ily punished, but the new bill is motje stringent and covers wider ground.

The Hay Branch Ag icultural Society held their annual fall show at Zurich on Monday and Tuesday, and as far as any person could see it wa a success both in respect of attendance a d weather. The gatetreceipts amounte4 to $228.34. The house in which the in oor exhibits were made was well filled with things, both useful and pretty. There was a good display of ladies work and home manu- factures, while fruit as abundant and of excellent quality. Helms were es- pecially good. In the vegetable line every variety frem the mammoth cab- bage and pumpkin down to the smallest potato and onion were Well represented. ; The show of grain as good and the samples were of A. 1 gJuality. Mr. Hess, of Zurich, had a neat display of organs which, combined •witl the display of sewing machines, was great attraction The combined stand, riting table and sewing machine exhib ted by Mr. Jas. Watson, of Seaforth, I was a marvel of mechanical skill and *ell deserved the great attention which it attracted. The outdoor deparement, like the indoor, was up to the mark in every respect, and aside fron the various side ehows and fakirs on the ground was the centre of much attrac ion for ladies as well as gentlemen. s usual the horse ring was the cbief attraction. The classes were all well fi led with fine ani - mails, and the comp tition was keen throughout. Althoug the single horses and brood mares wer well represented in every class, there was a noticeably small attendance of ams, both in the heavy and light chose . The sheep and pigs were not so nnnieroua as we ham - seen them, and a gl nce at the list of the prize winners wil show the comp - Mien was light, as nost of the prizes were carried off by few gentlemen, who make it a basin ea to breed high brel sheep and pig. Although they were not numerous t ey were of prime quality. There was hi good display of implements, especially of wagons and buggies. These wer all much admired by the farmers, but t e centre of attrac- tion in this departm nt was the Dale pivot roller, manufa tured by T. T. Coleman, of Seafort . nil roller is something new in th se 'parts, and was pronounced by all to be the beat of its kind menufactured. But, in mentioning other things we muot not forget the poultry, always the attraction for the ( little folks. All varieties, of p:) ultry were well represented from the gr at big goose to the little ban am and pigeon. The tug-of-war bet een teams from Stephen and Stanley wu a special at- traction, and great w s the excitement Of the friends of the t o teams, as they took their places and prepared to con- quer, but from the lo k on the faces:of the teams it seemed as f both intended to conquer or be conquer d. The first pull was most exciting, first one side having the advantage and then the other, but It Stepheu men prevailed and after o e minute and 16 seconds pulled their! brothers frorn Stanley over the line. llhey changed ends -without delay and aain prepared for the fray, but the St niey boys were apparently disheartene by their iormer defeat and after a ull of 'seventeen - seconds went over the line.
