I think it un- manly for any person to try to de. fame another's character over a ficti- tious name, au d ib ie high time that a stop should be pub to suoh auony- mous writings. Why was the omie- sion of the gaidos to voters put in print at all ? If not with the objeob of lowering me in the et timation of the readers of ths TIMES ; iu this respect id not the spirit that prompted the artiole in 1884 identioal with the pre- sent ? It is with reluctance I re- sume the pen in this matter, but when I ana assailed I will defend myself. Had Mr. S, been my friend he (if he considered I had committeed a fault) would have cautioned me privately, not held me up to public scorn by nestling to the press. Subscriber states I lamely endeavoured to reply. I thought my reply would be Betide() tcry to any person. 1 took, as 1 thought, the proper steps under the circumstances to get the necessary papers. Subtoriber saye my sending for them does not exculpate me from blame. I sent to Termite for the guides because I did not know wheth- er Mr. Moir would print them or get them in Toronto himself, as he was away from home on Monday and Tuesday, and there was no time to loose, and I saw they would have no time to get thetn up. I thought best to send for thein and run the risk, but unfortunately the papers did nob come in time. aey motives are im- pugned by. "Subsoriben" Would "Subscriber" be kind enough to state wherein I acted wrong, and what he would have done had he been iu my place, or what I should have done? "Subscriber" winds up with : "Will Mr. Prouty take a little advice from a ratepayer and not allow a similar oc- cuorenoe again ?" I consider this very insulting, neither honorable nor gentlemanly, when he knows hill well no blame oould possibly be attached to me in connection with said affair. Would it not be well if a committee of five or more persons were selected, and this matter discussed by "Sub- scriber and myself before them, and let their deoision be finaL, "Subeorib• er" to name the time and piece. A newspaper balk on this subject would be productive of no good. Should "Subscriber" reply I hope hells:ill ties his own natal°. --- Tian starving workingmen of Lon- don ate quiet again.

A meeting of sympathizers with the late Mr. Riel was called at Coteau sta- tion, near Montreal, on Monday, but the gathering was so sow that the organizers saw there was nothing to be gained by addressing it, so it Witt; adjourned sine die.

It will he re membered that Lune was shot in the dining -room of au hotel at Waco by a man mimed Graham, with whom he had an altercatiou. From papers seut by our oorrespondeub we learn that the coroner's jury has found Graham guilty of homicide and that he has bean released �u bail, the lat- ter being fixed at the ridiculously low sum of $760, DURING winter in Northeru Iowa each farmer has a rope extending from his house to his barn door. Oo visiting the barn he seizes the rope and follows it until he arrives at the barn. If the blizzard has broken the rope at the house and the farmer has to remain indoors ; if at the barn end he follows the rope and desoribes 3irole around the bouee with it until he findthe lost barn. These pecu- liar customs are resorted to in order to get even with the weather. In justice to Mr. Blake be it said, Kau - sae, not lowa, was the State of which the hon. gentleman epolte in such glowing ierms, THE Reform papers, it is gratifying to note, are waxing enthusiastic over the provisions of the Franchise Aot. Says the Brookville Recorder of the 51h; "Undo, the Dominion Fran- chise A.ott, the lists for which are now being prepared, there aro scores of young men in this town who will be entitled to vote, who have not hitheta to enjoyed that privilege. It is the duty of thane younee men to see that their names are placed on the new list. It costs nothing, involves no ,payment of taxes, and the privilege should therefore be eagerly soughe."

If a workingman is over twentenone years of age he has in all probability the right to vote. The franchise is practioally Manhood sufferage. Citizens from all division's will be welcome."

The Globe in making such loose as tertions is doing far more injury to the .Roforrn party than to the Domin- ion Goverument.

It is many months since he was last killed, and this information as to where he is, is stareling.

Ottawa, Feb. 6,—It is undevelood that early is the spring the govern - mane will send another ecunuaissiou through the Northwest Territories to make a thorough inveetigation and report upon loess sustained by the farmers and abbots through the re- cent rebelliou. Such was the assur- ance made a member of the North- west council deputation at present iu the city, by a minister of the orowu to day. Those who have euffered iu the North have as yet only reoived a trifling pibtanoa. The government have not yet paid but very few of those who sustained lotses. The deputation to day interviewed Hou. Mr. Caron, minister of militia, and defence, principally iu regard to the war claims. It appears that the valunteer troope at Edmonton who served duriug the rebellitn , have not beau remunerated sufficieutly, and their clahns will be pressed by the deputation. Meant, J. H. Ross, W. D. Parley and Dr. Wilsou. the deputat;on from the Northwest council had an inter- view with Hon. T. While, minister of the iuterior. which lasted nearly all day yesterday. The deputation ez. peened to succeed in obtaining. au icnproveinent in the method of pre- emptiou sales of land. Ono of the most important requirements of the deputation is an ante ision of the executive powers of the Northwest council, such as the privilege of in• curporating oompauiee and the handl- iug of their owu funds. Tae latter ooncessiou the deputetiou confidently expected bo be favored with. The lieutenant governor of the teriituries is now absolutely all powerful, and a curtailment of his authority is de- manded by the deputation. The inhabitants of the Northwest seem to be very much dissatisfied with the lieutenant -governor possessing almost arbitrary rule, The permit system has brought the lieutenant governor into great disrepute, and the depute tion will seek a remedy in thus re- aped by asking the assistanoe of the federal authorities in devising a scheme that will satisfactorily curb and govern bbs liquor traffio, and at the same time appease any dissatis- faetion that may exist. It is most likely that a mommissiou will be ap• pointed.
