It was one Of the longest and most excit- ing an well as ne of the most expensive held since con' d er a tion . A more ex- tended revie will be given next week. One of he lest acts of the Honor- able gent lemen'was to voge.themselves an additional indemnity of $500. This applies to the embers of the Senate as well as to thee of the Commons. The motion for the iccrease was made by the Finance Miniser and it is needless to say that it wati unopposed and carried without a divi*ion. That some of tbe members will he out of pocket even with this increase, there is no doubt, but we think we are s fe in saying that a ma- jor -ay of them will make more out of their five months at Ottewa than they would make id a year at home. Outside of the scandal investigations there was very little businets done, and but for these the session would have been a short one. The people are, therefore, being doubly punished. In the first place they are robbed by Government officials and c otra&-ors, if not by mem- hers of the G in the secon those who pee enable them t vernment themselves, and place they ar-e taxed by itted these robberies to ia v estigae e and find them cent. However, this is what a majority voted opprovtl of not longer ago than last March, arjd we suppoae they have no just right to complaha. It is said that there wil be a reconstruction of the Govererr ant immediately. That many, if not all of the tainted ones, iv -ill he retired tolkcraive public offices and that men of better chers eters ard purer reputations w11 be installed in their places. Ther is, certainly, greet need for some char e aod it cannot be made too soon. teen _ A Coa The cot of evidently in the Go Demi tte times, has bee Langevin, anG been formally of corruption now entitled the boaom of fatted calf ne Rector was n was a 11111Ch Cent iudividu of Whitewash. whitewash which was so course of preparation by e on Privileges and Elec- duly applied to Sir Hector that gentleman, having • acqaitted of the charges brought against him, is o be received back into he Conservative fold. The d not be killed, for Sir t even a prodigal son ; he aligned and entirely inno- al, the victim of unfor- tunate circumiaantees. He has clearly a right to demand an apology from those members of Ins party who brought the charges, and f om the party as a whole for even all wing his honesty to be caned in ques ion. So far as the major- ity report of • he Committee is concern- ed, there is really no reason why he should not cla m to be reinstated in his old seat in the Government, and again administer the, affairs of a Department which in pot years, according to the Committee, he so purely and guilelessly controlled. Well, we wish the Conser- vative party joy of the re-acquisiticn. It is true, two ot three unreasonable mem- bers on that side of the House spoke and even voted againat his reception, bat their churlishness served • only to make more mphatic the general wel- come, and the lusty strains of "He's a jolly good fel ow " deelered the vindica- tion of the ga lant knight complete. The restor tion of Sir Hector Lange - vin to the fa -ot ef his party, viewed as a question ef party concern only, is a matter of litt e moment, though we may be perdoned i .we express a doubt as to the wisdom 0 any penty which chooses to formadly a ly itself with corruption of the plainea and grossest kind. It is more to thesp rpose to inquire whether the verdict o - the Committee will be accepted by ti e people of Canada as a whale. If party spirit and the popular- izetion of cur uption which has unques- tionably beeu going on during the past twelve or thirpeen years have not wholly corroded the I national conscience, it is impossible, in view of the evidence, to suppose that it will be satisfactory to Cenaelians in general, The Committee did not hesitate to condemn " Uncle Thomas " McGreevy, but when the ie - timate relations of the two men are , looked at; w en it is contidered how McGreevy liv d in Sir Hector's house and had his rivate desk to which only himself and it Hector had access; how MeGreevy paid he interest on and re- lieved Sir Hee r of the responsibility of looking after notes to the -extent of $10,000 raised avowedly for election purposes; how Sir Hector was ever ready to authori changes in contracts In favor of Lar in, Connolly & C4 of which firm M i rosy}, was. a merit er, and to allow t em pay for fraudu, ent "extras" which were simply so many gifts from the p blic treasury; how Sir Heotor constitu d McGreevy his trusted election agent, r oeived from him large sums of money f r election purposes,iand referred others t him as the treashrer Iof the party in uebeo; how Sir Hector allowed M Gr vy the " run " of the Department of Wit) Work& and thus enabled him to et information as t6 the figures and esti &tee of rival tende' ere, in itself an ineXcusable crime on ' the part of a Dpartjmenta,1 head; how Sir Hector pockete the gift of $10,000 from thie same rm of Lerkin, Connolly & Co., in thle forn of a contributiop to, a:" teatime ial ; ' when these and eany other damning I nits in the chain which bond Sir Hecto andThomas McGreevy t together are con idered, it is laurel too much to a k p ople of comMon 'Inge l tobelieve that "Uncle Thomas", was guilty and Sir Hector innocent. ' The • plea that Sr Hector was the tool and Uncle Thomas t e guilty partner, is ad- missible on y on the assumption that Sir Hector, ins ead f the able administra- tor he hats alwa s been believed to be, was a monnmen of imbecility. i There is noth ng -in Sir Elector's career which gives coldring to the plea th t he e was an injltred innocent. At the/ time of the Pacific Sandal, he was plain Mr. Langevin; yet tt has never been denied that he received $32,000 of the money that was going When his exemp14, the late Pre ier, Made his "last call" upon the present' one for " another - ten thous nd." I The gross impropriety of a Minis er of 'Public Works rec iving a cash test monial of $25,000 fro con- tractors a d others dogng butanes with his Depart ent has happened only once, even with a ministry so corrupt as the Macclonal ministry ; but it hap ened with Sir 1ector Langevin. He ha been a leading membdr of the worst gevern- ment that Canada has ever had ; gov- ernment shich has bribed mem+s of Pr1iame.nt with timber limits and bonuses to railways in which the were interested which has debauched con- stituencie by Ideal grants, which has clothed it elf with corruption as ith a garment, nd which has, by its ex mple and the d filement of its touch so lower- , ed the ton of public opinion in qanada that hone t men; are despairing f the , fature of t e country.

(From Our 1 wn Correspondent.) Orrs A, September 28th, 1891. The big debat in the House of Com- mons is ON er, an Sir Hector Langevin saved front censu e for personal corrup- tion by a najorit of 15. From Monday , afternoon until Friday morning at 3 o'clock the attention of the Howie was fp-Ily oectipied ith this case, this with the xcepti n of a portion Of the time dev ted t charges again t the Ioetmaste Gee ral. Mr. (+illouard Moved the ado tion of the m jority i report as Chairman of the ComMittee. Mr. Tarte followed him in a speech of ttree hours, in which he charged that the report of themajority was not sus - tined by the evidence, and that Sir ector Langevin must have beer cog_ Meant ii eant of the c rruption that as in the Department. He gave a little of the inside history of party politics in the Quebec Distrigt. Be declared that Sir Hector Lang yin's ambition' had extinguished every rising star, and that his avarice and gr ed had worked the ruin orthe party in that district. He even asked the Minister of Militia to say who had ruined him in his own district, but Sir Adolphe Caron made no reply. When Mr. Tarte .at down, no member of the Gevernment rose to de- fend the report, and indeed it svas a singular feature of the debate that no member of the Government who was a member of the Committee said one word in support of the report, exoept Sir Adolphe Caron,. An opposition speaker, Mr. Cameron, Huron, had to follow1114r. Tarte, and then Mr. Coats - worth, df Toronto, undertook to reply. Mem,. Devies,Diekey, Amy ot, Laurier, McCarthy, Curran, Edgar and Mulock were the other speakers. Mr. Davies moved in amendment the adoption of the minority Tepee% aud Mr. McCarthy concluded his . speech by moving an amendment to the amendment setting forth that Sir Hector Langevin could not be abselved from responsibility for the frauds perpetrated, that he merited the Censure of the House in his • quality as Minister, and as head of tbe Department, and that proseeptio-n for perjury be taken against Michael Con- nelly and some other witnesees. He closed by saying that this should not be made a party question, but even if the fatetof the Government was involved he would not heeitate to take the same coutee, for if this young country was to be saved Parliament must crush out conspiracies to rob the public treaeury. Mr. McCarthy rather defended •Mr. Perley, the chief engineer, beceuse he said Perley' illness prevented him from cempleting is testimony. Of the mem- bers of the rtn, the only man who, inl Mr. McCart y's view could be relied on in his evid nce, was Murphy, because Murphy wa the only one whose ,evie dance was c rroborated. The eituationl_ was now a interesting one, Mr. Mce Cartby's fo lowing being an unknownl quantity a d it was within the possi- bilities th t if the Liberals coalesced with Mr. cCarthy they might have carried thee amendment to the amend, ment. ThAS, however, was impossible and the Lfherale etuck to the minority report junt as the Government stuck to the IlitiOcity report. Mr.McCarthy' amendment was supported by himsel and Col. &Brien only, while 184 mem leers voted against it. Mr. Davin mad a remarkable speech, deelaring that Si Hector Langevin was either oorrupt o au imbecile and that this young country could noeplertnit such a man to go scot free. l ' The Holes° had now come to Mr. , Davies' motion for the adoption of the minority report. Some big speeches were expected on this. The public gal- leries werecrowded in every part. Sir big speech, ready, and the Hon. David rl John Tho peon, it was known, had a Mills had 'another, but each wanted the other to e peak first, both kept theie seats and he speeches were never de- livered. Before . the question was.pot Mr. Tarte ade a speech in French iia which he said that the Conservative party had ot profitted by these fraud, but had on the contrary suffered much. Being in t e positiou of .prosecutor he said he wo Id vote neither way, but re- commende the House -to adopt thle minority r port of the opposition. That report was efeated on astriet party vote of 83 to 1 l Then came the real test, which wa the motion to adopt the majority r, port and Mr. Laurier called for the ye 9 and nays. This time MO. McCarthy, Col. O'Brien and Mr. Davi voted wit the opposition, leaving th Governme t majority only 15. ' Th ended the fully four •doubt ha nearer de again oho known th dozen mi alter thei the Gove these was steps at t a e s great fight which had lasted onthe and which beyond a1 : brought the Governme1:t eat than they ever will be t of actual . defeat.

Bergin, who stood 011 t e entrance to the House of Commons and loudly declared to eveiy one who Came along that it was a dis- grace to the Conservative party to be asked to support Sir Hector Langevin. So strong waw the pressure brought to bear, however, that Dr. Bergin entered the chamber a few hours later and voted with the rovernrnent. num.' C ACCOUNTS COMMITTEE. , The Pu lic Accounts Committee held three 8C119i ns last week which were 48 disorderly and noisy as usual. M . ; Lister pr seed hie case against M . Chapleau nd the Printing Bureau, and fought for to hours for the produotio of the evidence given m court by Mr. 4. B. Young, nauager of the New Eagle') Peper co pasty, which evidence ha be'en struc out by the court and was only to b4 had from the shorthand writer's np es. Mr. Young was manager of the con pany which made a bargai with La P esse newspaper to give the half the p ofits :on Gotrernment p&p* contracts, a Presse giving them note•s for $10,0 endorsed by Mr. Chapleaii. Next dayl it having been ascertained that Mr. Yfoung had left the eountry to avoid appe ring before the committee, MniChapl au agreed to the productioe of tie eviii nce, which was as follows :-- "We und ratood when we took thts paper (tn ening the promissory notes endorsed, y Mr. Chapleau) that we were to recfeive orders from the Geyer ment, throe gh Mr. Chapleau, for pape In hie department of which one-half of the profit ehould go to pay ten per cen on these n leau would his pocke would be indebtedne ont any en underetan entered in & Ellia, To Hon.

This was the ing when the contract wa o." Mr. Barber, of Bartle onto, swore that he told th owell about the extortion ing Bureau, and the Queen' Printer were that he himself had con- versed wit `i Mr. Chapleau about them. This Was e rly this year. This evidenc led Mr. e omerville, the member fo North Bra t, to declare n ,his responsil- bility that' he evidence clearly showed that Mr. Chapleau had a guilty know. ledge of all this boodling. Mr. Chaplea# said what be heard were merely rumore which were in the air at the time and Mr. Bowell said he might make a state!. ment as to what action he took when h was nfort1ied by Mr. Barber of th transaction in the Bureau. This state- ment he wi I make in the House. The seen a in the committee were ais numerous a the witnesses. On one ea- caaion, Mr, Lister war pressing for the admission f some evidence When Dr; Sproule sad, "Don't be a bully," at which Mr. 1Liater turned round on Drl Sproule and looking at him a full moment in silence, said in a scornful OCTOBER 2 .1891 way, "Yon miserable sneak:" The Minister of Finance once told Mr. Lister that he was making a false statement and knew it, and the Minister of CDStOMS called Mr. MoMullen a "blatherskite." Mr. McMullen had a little scandal of his own in hand aleout the Ne.pinee post -office which is not yet concluded. This committee will only meet once again to try and wind up the Printing Bureau investigations and the tag ende of two or three other scandals. THE POST *ASTIR GENERAL ACCUSED. In the House on Wednesday Mr. Litter formally rose in his place and 'm- ewled the Poet Master General of having p rticipated in the profits of the contract fofr the completion of Section "B" Can- a ian Pacific Railway, of having by his influence as a member of Parliament ob- tained changes from the Department, favorable to the contractors, and that while having claims against the Govern ment, the contractors, at the request of Mr. Haggart and ,members of the Gov- ernment subscribed to political funds. Mr. Haggart denied being interested in the firm, stated that he had never receiv- ed a cent from any pereon for his services as member of Parliament, and that at the solicitation of Senator Mc- Laren he took an interest in overlooking the contract and in the final settlement andehat he received only $1,500, to re- couts him for travelling and hotel expen- ses. He also submitted a statement from Mr. McLaren in support Of this view. A hot debate ensued upon Sir John Thompsonannouncing that the Government would not grant the com- mittee asked for. On the division the Government were sustained by a ma- jority of 24. CANADA'S COMMERCIAL POLICY. A long step in the right direction has been taken by Premier Abbott who has secured the coneent of the Senate to an Address to the Queen praying for great- er commercial freedom in the negotiat- ions -of treaties. It has been found in practice that certain clauses contained in British treaties with foreign nations are held to bind and restrict Canada in carrying out her own fiscal policy and an understanding that in future no such clauses will be inserted. The address recites that under the constitution Can- ada. bas a right. to make these demands and that it is to her advantage to have perfect freedom of action. Mr. Abbott in his speech dealt -with Imperial feder- ation, H.e said it was a question whether England would abendon her principle of free trade in order to itnprove her trade with -the rest of the Empire, but he Could not tell what would result from the ifact that she was almost the only country in the world which opened her • markets free to all the nations. Imperial federationists may find some grains of Comfort in Mr. Abbott's speech, but they will also find much to dash their hopes. Hon. R. W. Scott, leader of the Libe- retain the Senate approved of the Ad- drees but regretted that it did not go a stele further and laysdown the propoeit- ion that Canada should have the right abenlutely to negotiate her own commer- cial treaties in accordance with the policy laid down by Mr. Blake in 1882. A long debate followed, the Senators actually sitting in the evening,an almost unprecedented thing and one highly dangerous to their health. NOTES. It has been decided to grant the mem- bers an increased sessional indemnity -of $500 apiece, which will require a special vote by Parliament of $140,000. Preinier Mercier's answer to Lieuten- ant, Governor Angers' letter was brought down in the Senate. In it he expresses regret for the Pacaud incident and says that if he and his Government had known of Mr. Pacaud's demands upon contractors they would have at once put a stop to it. • He also explains that the draft of $5,000, which was sent to him wh.en he was in Paris by Mr. Pacaud %yea raised upon a note, he understood, which he had left in blank before he went away, a note which he of course intended to retire when he returned. He agrees to the appointment of a Royal Coinmission and to the terms imposed by the Governor. . The Public Accounts Committee re- vealed a very dishonest transaction on the part of A. P. Bradley, Secretary of the Department of Railways and Canals who certified to accounts for his son for one year at $2 a day, although his eon wee never in the Department a single day of that year, but was attending col- lege., Mr. Bradley has been suspended. The Exeter Show. The annual show of the South Huron Agricultural Society, in conjunction with the, Stephen and .Usborne Branch, was held on the large and commodious grounds of the latter in Exeter on Mon- day•and Tuesday last. As usual, our Exeter friend's were favored with good weather; Tuesday, the most important day of the show,was a perfect day, being neither too cold nor too warm. As a result, there was a large crowd of both spectators and exhibitors. The gate re- ceipts amounted to about $600, and in addition to this there would probably be ovei- 400 members, each one of whom re- ceivled three tickets. But, large as ehe attendance was, it would, no doubt, have been larger but for the fact that St. Marys show on the one side and .Cliriton on the other, being held 01:1 the same days, must have taken off a good maey. The show, on the whole, was fully up to former years. In some departments it was in advance, while in others it was not quite 80 good. There was a light show in fruit, implements and carriages, and grain was not as largely represented as one might expeet this year. There was as fine a show of roots and vege- tab es as we have ever seen at a county sho . Turnips and mangelds were in abu dance and of immense size, some of tbetn weighing as much as 20 lbs. each. Thee was a large and very nice collec- tion of ladies' work and fine arts, and a very good show; in manufactures. The dearly department was light, due, no doubt, to the exceedingly warm weather. In t?te out -door department, the show of horses was fully up to Exeter's high standerdnwhile the thoroughbred cattle wernalso good, but the show of grade catqe was not equal to what it has been in seine former years. The large and magnificent display of sheep shows that farMers are now paying more attention to these animals than formerly, and -if we tre to judge by the exhibits he Shr pshire Downs are becoming as popu- lar as the Durhams among cattle. Thee was also a large and good show of pigs. There was also an excellent show of Poultry, indicating that McKinley has not yet fright producer of hen fru and that the noble yore.
