News- Record. , The Hamilton 2'wne# writes of what it does not know when it says that under the Dominion re-distribs ution of seats in 1882, Sir Richard Cartwright,sHuronconptituency was i abolished altogether. If the chatigv ing of the name, from Centre to South Huron and the adding more Reform voters to it is .wiping out a oonstitu* enfcy then Sir Richard’s Huron con*, stuency was wiped out. As a matter of fact, the Redistribution Bill left the^Hurpns politically where they were before. It merely equalized the. Ridings numerically and made them more compact. The? Opposition .oppose the Frans chise Rill, therefore it should not bes come law ! There is nothing novel about the Opposition opposing any* thing emanating from the Govern menu Though they felt satisfied that - it would befor the best interests of the country, they will fight and obstruct proper .Government legislation,from measures tending to the suppressing of the rebellion to the extension of the Franchise. In fact the better the measure tlie Government pro poses the greater the virulence of the.. opposition both in and out of Par liament. They are against good government first, last and all the time, . Some one lias remarked that “the Northwest rebellion has occurred most opportunely for the Canadian Pacific Railway.”' ThesentefSb’er has surely been transposed, for it. is quite evident that the Canadian Pacific Railway has been biiilt most oppor tunely to aid in tho suppression of , the Northwest,.rebellion. Not two months have elapsed since th'e'’com- mencement of the outbreak' and troops and munitions of war have been transported from the seabord to the heart.of the continent and to the very base of the.(Mrpcky mountains; It is quite possible that the railway Las already saved'ii'irillipn.s-of"dollars'* to the Treasury in- the -matter of this rebellion, for it is now ascertain ed from .reliable sources at Washing ton that the authorities there would have refused any. application of the. Dominipn- authorities to . permit transportiqn of troops etc throiigh American territory. ■ • A writer-in thp half breijd press puts tile query : What answer is That ia( nut the sort of man we take McAlpine Tayibr to be.

R and lawyer Wade introduced a resolution condemnat ory of the Dominion Franchise Bill, yet giving their whole case away when it states, ift reference to the, revising clauses of the Bill, “The Judges haw performed their duties satisfactorily. in the past, and no gov- emmentwhich claims to be honest will rrfws? to trust themselves to lists pre. pared by the Judges of our tend.” Very good. The Dominion Govern ment, the Dominion Parliament we assume do claim to be botjeqc, atd ’ .we find as a matter bfTact that the revising officers Under the Dominion BUI are to be the "Judges or junior judges of the county, or a barrister of not less than five years standing.” In explaining this clause Sir John stated in the House"that the alter native of barristers would only be, resorted to in cases where the coun- tv Judges from press of work, indis position or other uncontrollable causes could not act. Sq that the Government are actuallydoing what their opponents say they should do, they are “trustingthemselves to lists prepared by the Judges of our land.’’ They are going further and’ in excep tional cases ate content to trust themselves to barristers of not less than five years,standing. Now, it will be no reflection on the County Judges, whom the factiouistopposite ioiTso much adujire, to say that the, av&rage barrister, whether Grit or Tory, of five years standing will ■ have as much regard for his solemn oath of office as the most upright' Judge.

The conduct of the troops Was beyond praise, the* Midland ‘ and Tenth Regiments vying with each otheiv well supported by the 90th and flanked by the mounted .portion of. the troops. The artillery, and Gul ling also assisted in the attack with good effect.

The scouts had been out in the lnorniug to scour the country, hut these thYee spread from the main body, and just as tlijy were coming out of some brush, an un frequented trail leading to Batoehe’s, they-spied Riel with three compan ions.

His only fear was that he would be shot by the troops, but he was pro- m s id safe escort to the General’s quarters.. To avoid the main body of 'se'outs, Riel was taken to a coulea. near by,- and- hidden, w.hilefDrclri went for a horse for him, the? other -scouts being left with the prisoner..
