Nothing bat the tautest ,lauguage la
perceptible in the aderument of this
document which forms the basis ur
groaudwork of ehe legislatien of Outa-
inns congregated wisdom during ' the
present seseion. But in this Mr. Mow-
nt thought to receive from the country
the homely expressions of thankfulness
tendered to the country schoolmaster
when he acceded to the wish of his pat -
roes by teaching theit children readin'
lithe' and 'spelliu', and not mindiin the
high-ffilutin' parts. Besides, what's
toe use casting diamonds, etc. ..,
It would have been indeed strange
Lad the Lientenant-Gevernor omitted
mention of his deceased predecessor,
but from what we know of the friendly
neeociations of the two men (vide the
expressions of the address), we take it
ahat it was a 'demand of (met asy
er than a feeline of reeret at his death,

that the name of the late lamented. Gov-
ernor had devotedto it a paragraph in
tue Speecn from the throne.
The Ballot Act, which the present
Government takes credit to have con-
ceived, suckled and brought up in its
perfections, notwithstamling that- it
formed one of the planks in the plat-
form of the late Government and, had
they retained power, would have had
full justice done it at their hauds, has
Au elaborate detail. The benefits etc-
gruitig therefrom, which ine the minds
mf many, after seeing its workings tet
the late election, seem most doubtful,
axe spoken of, some neeessary cnanges
to be made, and its exteusion for use
At By-law voting to be adopted. lt
would haye been beeter for the Ceeverri-
meet to have celmly and dispassionate-
ly, considered this -part of the Act be -
,fore leaving it to the decision of the
House. There are many things in con-
nection with the system when extended
beyond parliamentary or municipal
purposes which leave room for much
diecussion not alone as to its usefulness
but to the unnecesszery expense in con-
nection therewith. The causes which
called for the use of the ballot in the
one case scarcely ever odour in the
ether. Tuey are at least not get meal.
Aid -to Railways will have a due ap-
portio,ument of,notice. In this we are
led to think the Government will err,
and grieiously, too, owing to the
omega of axe -grinding and wire -pull-

present Parliament, and that, too, by

Prout and Bissett had a transaction
of sale of a horse, cutter and harness,
whioh came to $42, eviler! it appeared
that Prout owed Bissett $22, and Bis -
i sett ga,ve a note to Prove for the bal-

mice of $20. Since, there appears to
be another note of the sum of $20 of
the same date, which Bissett denied

was committed to Goderich gaol for
trial.

ber of candidates. He thought too
riench of the money of tee country
shouldnot be locked up iu railways.
Efforts made in prudence and modera-
tion were necessary to encourage im-
migration. With reference to the pay-
ment of criminal witnesses, !care 'should
be taken not to give a premium to per-
sons to appear as crown 'witnesses, He
hoped some chitnge should be made jo
the lew respecting intoxicating liquors,
and that would make a cliffevence in
the revenue ; that question should be
dealt with as a party question.
Mr. Cameron asked for Mformat'o
on certain subjects mentioned in the
speech from the throne.
Mr. elowat spiel in was not cestom-
ary to give information at this stage
in regard of the payment of crinnual
witnesses. Mr. Cameron oughato be
posessed of information, as his govern-
ment hacl long promieed to provide
for it. aed he had condemned the pres-
ent GoveDyeent for not legislating on

much oceapied durileg the last Patli

Mr. elcDougall sad more informa-
tion oueht te be given to a new House.
Some statement ooglitt to be made in
telation to a enange in the Govern-
ment. He believed the present' system
of immigration to be cumbersome and
inefficient. He wan not aware that the
Chief Superintendent of Education was
retit•ing, mscept under presure. He be-
lieved the present arrangement in re-
regare to criminal witnesses to be a
bl a on our system, and hoped the
Government measure would be a jest
one. lie wished the difference between
Ontario and Quebec could- be settled.
He considered that this Government
should not agree to, any compromise to
any Provincial boundadee, and 'eom-
planted of the meagree charatei: of the
Grovernment programme.
Mr. elowat said Mr. McKellar had
served the countrY for eighteen yeere
d was fairly entitled to retere iuto
the preeent office. Mr. Wood WWI as
able aseany man the Government could
select as his successor. - The hon. gen-
thanarreoppoeite had tried to keep him --
out of the elIonse, but withoue success.
He wes reedy for a discussion in re-
ference to the bomolarien; and no com-
promise 000111 be effective without the
assent of the Honee. The Chief Stn.
perietendent had long desired to re-
tire; floa it became neccessary for the
Gov aliment to conslteer how best to
fill his place.
Mr. Cameron said it was the pertinaci-
ty of the Opposition which had fenced..
the Gdverument to bring in a IlleftSUr0
for the payment of criminal witnesses.

their time to running around the coun-

LieutoGoveruer wae styled his Honor
in the address. If he could not be
called his Excellency be should not be
given a title which every county judge
was emtitled to. All beneficial provi-
sions in the Electiou Law were due to
the late government. He objected to
the extension of the ballot to voting on
municipal by-laws. Ile was in 'fever
