Special Correspondence from Ottawa. The Government emerges in good shape from the Parliamentary crisis which for the last two months has hung over it like a threatening cloud. For weeks the Liberals have been de- claring that the second reading of the Remedial bill would wreck the Cabinet and its fiscal policy. It seems that all their hopes have turned out to be de- lusions, for when the House divided on Friday morning, rafter being continu-• ouslyy in session for thirty-nine hours, the Government was sustained by ade- r isive majority. The defeat of the six months' hoist by a majority of twenty- four and the passage of the second reading of the Remedial bill by a ma- jority of eighteen puts an end to all donbt as to the stability of the Admin- istration. The total polled vote is said to be larger than that recorded in any other division in the Canadian Parliament. As was anticipated, there was a considerable Conservative defec- tion. No less than eighteen supporters of the Government placed themselves on record as against the second reading of the bill. They were :-Messrs. Ben- nett, Calvin, Carscallen, Cockburn, Craig, Henderson, Hodgins, Hughes, McLean (York), McGillivray, McNeill, Rosamond, Ross (Dundas), Sproule, Tyrwhitt, Wallace, Weldon, Wilson. With one exception, that of Dr. Wel- don, they are all representatives of Ontario constituencies. The effect of this was diminished by the fact that there was also it (defection from the Opposition. Seven Liberals, namely : Messrs. Angers, Beausoleil, Delisle, Devlin, Fremont, Mclsaac, Vaillan- court, voted for the second reading. Although eighteen Conservatives op- posed the hill on the second reading, Mr. Laurier's six months hoist was sup- ported by fifteen. This is accounted for by the fact that three Conservatives - Messrs. McGillivray, Hughes. and Ross (Dundas) -voted against both the amendment and the plain 'notion. They were opposed to remedial leg isla- tion and also to Mr. Laurier's treatment of the question. So they consistently expressed disapproval of both. The re- sult, of this wits that the amendment was defeated on a vote of 91 yeas and 115 nays, and that the mot -ion for the second reading was carried by 112 yeas and 94 nays. These figures account al- together for 206 members out of a House which, when complete, numbers 215. Ot the other nine, two -Dr. Mon- tague and Mr. Corby- are in Europe iu consequence of ill -health. Two oth- ers were absent in consequence of ill- ness in the country. These are Col. F. C. Deuisiro and Mr. Rnwand. Sit Donald Smith was haired with Mr. Rowand, Liberal, and Lieut -Col. Deni- son, who opposes the hill, was paired with Dr. Montague. So that 210 mem- bers air thus accounted for, Mr. Cor - )y, who is absent, without a pair, and vIr•. Peter White, who occupies the eaker's chair, bring the number to 2, and the other three are accounted • by t he fact that three Quebec con- 1uencies--Missisquoi, Pontiac, and ulanges--are vacant.

CURRENT TOPICA. The Dominion Government will have a conference with Greenway. The life of the present Parliament will run to April 25th at least. Mr. M. C. Cameron's voice was not heard at Ottawa on the Remedial Bill, but his vote was recorded with Laurier for -the six months hoist and against the second reading.

'up 21 fir sti So A political analysis of the vote cast on the motion for the second reading shows that the Conservatives gave a major ity of eleven for the hill. The political complexion of the vote was as follows :-For the bill, 105 Conserva- tives and seven Liberals ; against the bill, 73 Liberals, 18 Conservatives, and three independents. The division shows that on ordinary questions the Conservative majority over the Liber- als is 44, and over the Liberals and the independents Combined 41. An examination of the vote hy pro- vinces throws light on the geographical bearings of the school question. Had the fate of the Gover•nnrent depended upon the verdict of Ontario and Que- hoc, it would have met with a reverse. The vote by provinces on the second reading tvas as follows : - For. Against. Ontario •3•''i 52 Quebec 32 29 Nova Scotia.... 10 5 New Brunswick 13 3 Manitoha 4 1 Prince Ed ward islrand 2 4 British Columbia Fi 0 North-West Territories4 tl Total - .112 94 From the above it will he seen that Quebec gave a mnjor•ity of three, in favour of the hill, while Ontario went against the measure by a preponder- ance of seventeen, which is exactly the number of Ontario Conservatives who on this occasion opposed the Adminis- tration. The other uremhers of the Confederation cast 58 votes, of which 45 were for the hill. thus corning to the assistance of the Govorriment with a majority of 32. When this is dis- counted by the minority of 14 votes in which the Government stood as re- gards Quebec and Ontario, the result gives the balance of 18 which the Government had in its favour on the second reading.

Tho above figures go to show con- clusively that the passage of the sec- ond ea and reading of the bill is not attribut- able to the defection of Quebec votes from the Liberals. If none of the Liberals had bolted, and it is thought that, they would have voted solidly had there been a certainty of thereby de- feating the Administration, Mr. Lauri- er's amendment would still have been lost by a majority of ten, and the sec- ond reading would have carried by a majority of four, assuming that the Conservative votes would have been the same as they were. This would have been, so to speak, a close call for the Administration, It shows how much depended from a Government point of view on the last vote in its favor being polled. A change of two votes on the second division, or a transfer of five on the first, would have placed the Ad- ministration at the mercy of the Op- position. The frust that the Conserva- tives who adhered to the Government outnumbered, by a narrow majority, it is true, all those who opposed it, as well as the seven who, though politic- ally antagonistic, supported it, is sig- nificant. But the margin was not so large as to detract at all from the grav- ity of the crisis through which the Administration had passed. Gentility. Editor News -Record. Sin, -"Polite words are inexpensive things, and never out of place," is the language of one of our sweetest modern writers, and embraces sentiments, wnich all endorse and approve, from the crowned Prince, to the most Lowly. It is a naughtiness in human nature, to join the declaimers, and hiss the dis- liked, up to a certain point: but be- yond that, the public begins to cry, "enough ; hands off." Impoliteness, though, perhaps excusable, in suppos- able cases, is always limited. Continu- ed too long, it heromes not merely intolerable, it is also reflexive, gender- ing its own opposition, so that those, who first were loudest in language of detraction, rise up in defence of the - one decried, harrin g the current of op posit ion • too -strong. To he ungenteel is to he unrefined, to he coarse, to be rude, which is contrary to the general treud of modern taste, to choose what is lovely and of good report. The beautiful is being highly, and more highly prized with every re- curring season. Every city, town, hamlet,, and rural "four corners,' throughout the length and breadth of our beloved Dominion. displays unmis- takable evidence of refined and cul- tured proclivities. Homes, fences, gar- dens, flowers, musical instruments, domestic„personal, and mental adorn- ments, prove that our people are just peerless, in possessing the attributes that fro to ennoble a nation. Aught, that is not lovable receives no encour- agement. Cruelty has no place ; our people are kind-hearted, so, that, while implicitly approving the law of Capital. Punishment, the just fate of the cul- prit often moves their sympathy to tears. Whosoever attempts to ingratiate himself into the confidence of the men of Canada, by employing language un - genteel, unkindly, and unrefined, in reference to persons of opinions differ- ent from his own, will sooner or later, be likely to acknowledge, that his tactics have been erroneous, and that they have tended to alienate, rather than attract friends. Love of the beautiful has now. so strong a hold upon the popular mind of our epoch,. that in Cowada at least, it nifty he said to bo innate, forming the most salient Factor that marks the universal progressiveness of the peo- ple. It were n'tong, however, to sup- pose that the useful le being over- shadowed, or dwarfed by those exac- tions of refined taste, for the two are combining to perfect the symmetry of the whole fabric of opinion as pertains to art, architecture, and the applied science of legislation. The Remedial Bill, which has for some !itis time elicited the expression of political ideas, to an extent rather unusual nn purely party questions has been apposed, doubtless conscientious- ly, by many of our best men. The In Advanced Years The strength and pure blood neces- sary to resist thoeffeets of cold seasons are given by Hood's Sarsaparilla. e I have for the last 25 years of my life been complaining of a weakness of the lungs and colds in the bead, especially in the winter. Last fall I was again attacked. Reading of Rood's Sarsaparilla I was led to try it. I am now taking the fifth bot- tle with good results. I can positively say that I have not spent a winter as free from coughs or pains and difficult breathing spells for the last 25 years as was last win- ter. I can lie down and sleep all night without any annoyance from cough or sin in the lungs or asthmatic difficulty." M. CRTAMBICMS, J. P, Cornhili, N. B.

It is sometimes claimed, that the caning of clergymen does not bar their citizenship, nor for- bid them to exercise the rights of free- men in politics as well as in ecclesias- tics, but can they safely do so? "Giv- ing no offence in ,any thing. that, the ministry he not blamed.' Itis said that the "Wise men of the east," who came seeking the new-born King of the Jews, kept themselves free from politics. "A gentle hand leads the elephant by is hair." The enraged Lion is quiet- ed by the strains of sweet music. By bowing a mien often escapes a hump on his head, and so on, through all the veins, and experiences of life, the use of mild, complaisant language is the surest way to the achievement of suc- cess. The Remedial Bill was carried, pro- bably, by the reactionary force of the ill -chosen language of the Reformers, rather than by the advocacy of its supporters. Had the deliberations of our Cana- dian Parliament, for the past eighteen years, been conducted by calm, and dispassic.nate argumentation, the man- sard would contain nothing from the Loyal Opposition, excepting upon local hills. The persuasive eloquence and silvery gushings of oratory, which have been so frequently, by thein - selves, been lauded as the greatest speeches ever heard in Ottawa, if prun- ed of thoughts malodorous would have little left, The people r,f Canada consist of in- dividuals, each, to some extent,, being rtn epitome of 101. Once upon a time, two of different opinions on a certain point of interest to both, 'net, by ap- poininent, in the company of four more to adjust the disagreement. One, forewarned, kept temper under con- trol, and to some caustic appellations from the other, mildly said, "I'do not wish to call yon names." You cannot do so in truth, unless you call me a gentleman, replied his opponent. I do not dispute this, and if you do any business with me, it is essential that yea comport yourself in the style of a gentleman. The answer seemed a sur- prise to the man. Not another dis- plac,ent word was used, and in a few minutes, he asked the other to "forgive and forget." Their disagree- ment was ended for ever. In like manner, if the Reform party ever re- turns to power, their tactics must he revised, and they must show them- selves both loyal and patriotic, and never again hope to become popular, by decrying the state of the country, nor by declaring we would he advant- aged by closer relations with the United States.

He should willingly have acceded to my request when flrist called upon to do so if he had any confidence in himself or the cause which he was defending. The subjects 1 have treated in my letters are supported by the evidence not only of Catholics but also of non-Cath- olics, among the latter,clergymen of the leading Protestant denominations. Your "Catholic" correspondent hy mis- representation or by simply making use of sixth words as "so-called" or •'Jesuit- ical" condemns every Protestant minis- ter who condemns him. When he says I have held a religious controversy with him he says what is not true. I have not even mentioned his name and have declared more than once my determination to hold no con- troversy with him till he came out of his hiding place and threw off his mask. Before he undertakes to teach Catholic doctrine be should first learn that to tell lies is a sin. Now, I challenge him to a public platform discussion in Clinton Town Hall, to discuss Catholic and Protestant works of morality and shall leave ,he mode of procedure in this discussion in the hands of the Mayor of Clinton.
