THE MANITOBA. BILL.
THE Bill for the purpose of establishing
a Province in the North-West territory, aild
for settling the difficelty which has recent-
ly arisen in that country, has been und r
discussion by the House for the past wee
Some of the more objectionable features
the Bill we noticed last week. So stro
was the feeling of members against it
then proposed, that the Government weie
compelled to amend and improve it after it
had passed the first reading. The princi-
pal amendment made was the extending of
the limits of the Province so as to inchuie
Portage la Pilule, an English settleme t
which, in the original Bill, had been desi,
edly omitted, as the boundary line diverg
a considerable distance out of its natur
course, in order that this settlement mig
not be included. But, even yet, there
room for much improvement before the Bill
will be what it should be, or such as to jus-
tify the representatives of Ontario in. vie -
ting for it. Even yet, the province is e'
tirely too limited, embracing, as it do
only about 13,000 square miles, (and 'aftr
deducting for water, pasturage, -ehere
will be left but about 6000 miles. When
we take from this the reservation under t
Hudson Bay Company's claim, a-nd oth
reservations provided for in the Bill, the
ill be left but one million Of acres for ac-
tUal settlement, which, every person with a
grain of common sense, who is not blind d
-, by prejudice, must admit to be notorious1y
„
madequate for the requirements of emig
tion. Besides this, the limits of the .n
ppoiince have not yet been sufficiently
tended to include an equal number of t
loyal and peace loving settles to cope wit
or counterbalance, the influence of the
bellious and disloyal ones. Thus, the ma'
power will still be vested in the, hands
those who have instigated and fostered t
insurrectionary and murderous proceedings
which have been carried on for the past
six naonths ;- and as the majority will have
the powee of framing their own laws from
the commencement, they will be in a po-
sition to legislate in such a manner as to pre-
- elude emigration to the Province, and pro-
bably drive those who are at present resi-
dent in the Province, and in opposition to
them, out. True, the vetoing power ie
vested in the hands of the Governoi-Gen-
eral, but what will that amount to? Will
not those advisers of His Excellency, who
framed the Bill, at the dictation, and under
the direction of the leaders of the Class who
compose the majority of the new province,
be equally as willing to sanction any legis-
lation whioh may be enacted, however mon-
strous it raaf be,sas they were to frame the
Bill which granted these powers. It will
thus be seen, that all which has been gained
by the amendment of the Bill does not am-
ount to very much.
1
LS
Again, the form of Government which
this Bill proposes for the new Province, is
not onlyiobjectionable, but most absur4.
The idea- of granting,for a small province,
two chambers, with a representation of from
7 to 21 members in each, besides allowing
them a representation in the Dominion Sen-
ate ancl 001C1IDWIS of n.early three times the
number, according to population, of that en-
joyed by Ontario, is indeed preposterous.
If the expenses of all this Governmental
machinery, were to be borne by the people
thecaseives, there would not be so much
cause of complaint on this score; but, when
the people of the Dominion, and more es-
pecially those of Ontario, are called upon,
and compelled, to contribute of their su
stance, merely to gratify the whims of a
parcel of uncivilized ruffians, it is certainly
high time that we were beginning to rouse
ourselves, and to protest in a manner too
plain to be misunderstood, against such pro-
ceedings. Surely our taxes are already suf-
fi6ently high, without having them in-
creased, that money may be raised to aid in
bestowing, special favours upon those who
are utterly incapable of appreciating them,
- and who will not thank us, no matter what
kindness, or consideration we may show
them.
This precious Bill also proposes to giant
to the French half-breeds, for the exclusive
use of themselves, and their children, 1,400,-
000 acres, which will be nearly 200 acres
each for every man, woman, and child, a-
mongst them. Think of this gentle reader'
One million four hundred thousand acres of
the choicest land in the country, to be di-
vided amongst those who have conspired to
set the authority of our country and our
Queen at defiance,' and to murder and inn -
prison our countrymen, whilst those brave
fellows'such as Schultz, Lynch, and others,
who endeavoured at the risk of their lives,
to maintain the elignity of our laws, and to
prevent our flag from being trampled in the
dust,—by the very ruffians whom it is pro-
posed to reward, ---are sent adrift without
one cent's worth of compensation for the
immense, loss they have sustained. Yes,
these brave fellows (who have been dubbed
by Commissioner Donald Smith as adven-
turous Canadians), who have lost every-
thinethey possessed in the world,—whose
property has been confiscated, and whose
goods have been despoiled, by order of Riel,
Bichot and other ruffians, are not to be al-
lowed the slightest reward for their bravery,
loyalty, and self-sacrifice, and are not even
to be granted the poor satisfaotion of accom-
panying the military expedition to their
country -as common soldiers. Whereas, the
miserable scoundrels who havAleen at the
root, of, the whole trouble, are petted and
feasted at Ottawa by Ministers of the
Crown, and lucrative births promised them,
whilst their millions and tools are to be
rewarded with large grants of the choicest
lands the country possesses. This is surely
punishing rebellion, treason, and murder,
and rewarding loyalty, with a vengeance.
There are many other provisions in: the
Bill equally as unjust and iniquitous as
those we have noticed. In fact the whole
Bill, is one mass of corruption from begin-
ning to end. It directly, and- indirectly,
concedes every demand which was made by
Riel and his • co•rebellionists, without de-
manding. one single_ concession from them
in return. It is little wonder that Riel
has assumed an air of loyalty, --so much so
as t� protnpt him to cause the Union Jack
to be hoisted ovei the walls of Fort Garry,
instead of the Fenian "Sun Burst," which
has for some time had that position,—when
he learns that his delegates have succeeded
in.procuring from our authorities, every
one of the exhorbitant demands which
they were commissioned to make.
- During the discussion of the Bill, Messrs.
McDougall and Aackenzie moved several
iroportant amendments to the various
clauses, which, if they bad been accepted,
would have done very much towards de-
stroying the evil effects which the Bill must
have; but each one, i4 turn, *as voted
down, by a majority of the people's repre-
sentatives. Many of those who voted a-
gainst these amendments, and for this out-
rageously unjust 'measure, were we feel al-
most ashamed to say, from the Province of
Ontario.. Many of those who, at first, were
loud and bitter in their denunciations of
the measure, when it came to a vote, were
compelled to put their necks quietly under
the Government yoke, and vote for a meas-
ure which:they felt woult1 confer special fa-
vours.upon, and grant special privileges to,
those ;who caused and sanctioned the mur-
der of their countryman. Certainly we do
not envy the position in which they have
placed themselves.
To Messrs. Mackenzie and McDougall
the country owe a debt of gratitude, for the
noblemanner in which they have contended
for the rights of the people in this matter.
We need scarcely say that we areno ardent
admirer of the political career .of the latter
gentleman, but we must confess, that he is
entitled to all praise for the course he has
pursued on the prEsent occasion; and, in-
deed, the manly stand he has taken, might
have put to shame the actions of many from
whom we should have expected much more.
TRAITOR IN THE REFORM CAMP.
On the motion in the House of Commons, by
Mr. Workman, to exempt coal, coke, wheat and
flour from taxation, CAMERON, of South Hu-
ron; OLIVER, of North Oxford ; WHITE=
HEAD, of North Huron; WHITE, of Halton,
and LAWSON, of North Norfolk, all returned as
Reformers voted with the Goiernment for
Hineks' infamous Customs Bill, and against the
amendment. Had not these men turned traitors
'to the Reform Party, the Government would
have -been defeated by a majority of one,
• and
bread and fuel would not have been taxed.'—
Hanilltln, Tim.es.
With Messrs. Oliver, White, and Law-
son, we have nothing to do. If they see fit
to vote for an objectionable measure, and
in opposition to their party, that is a mat-
ter between there and their constituents, and
for which they will, no doubt, in due course
of time,. be called to account But that
Messrs. Cameron and Whitehead should -be
found supporting a measure so diametrically
opposed to their professions, whilst seeking
election, and to. the principles of their par-
ty, we consider a matter upon which we
have no ' right to keep silent. That Mr.
Whitehead should be found turning traitor
to his principles and his party, need not
Much surprise any person who is acquaint-
ed with his previous career as a politican ;
but that so true a Reformer as Mr. Cam-
eron has heretofore professed to be, should
be found in the company of such men as
Cartier, Hincks, Crawford, Burton, A. P.
Macdonald, and Others of like ilk, we can -
net account for, except on the principle
that 'Evil associations corrupt good morals."
We can assure these gentlemen that they.
will yet be taken to task by the Reformers
of Huron. for the manner in which they
have acted. They may plead as an excuse
for their recreancy in voting against their
party, and the . well understood 'wishes of
their constituents, that they did so in order
that the salt interests of this county might
be protected. :But to accomplish this ob-
ject, surely it was not necessary for them
tosell themselves body and bones to the
Corruptionists. To accomplish this object,
it was surely not neceseary for them to vote
for a tax upon every morsel whichthe poor
labouring man must put into hits naouth,
and for every sack of wood which.hewill
require to put upon his fire, to prptect his
little ones from the biting frosts and chill
blasts of winter, and, to accomplish their
object, was it necessary for them to vote to
retain in office and power, a set of the
most extravagant and corrupt rulers with
which a eountry has ever been cursed. If
it was really necessary for them to make all
these sacrifices to obtain this doubtful ben-
efit, it assuredly would have been ten thous-
a,nd times better for them, and more satis-
factory to their constituents, had they let
their pet hoW3e, remain in abeyance, or ab-
andoned it altogethercand remained flrm and
true to their party and principles. By the
vote which they have given, they have, net
,only aided in perpetrating a gross injustice
upon the poor man, in order to replenish
the impoverished coffers of an extravagant
and irnprovident Finance Minister, but they
have given a renewed lease of office and
power to a set of men, wheat even their best
friends pronounce utterly incapable and
unfit to occupy the high and responsible po-
siaon which they do. The country will
lose more, far more, in one year, by hav-
ing the present Government retained in
power, than it will gain in ten, even were
the duty upon the article of salt raised very
much higher than the new tariff proposes
to do.
.We regret much that we are compelled
to speak thus strongly, but we consider it a
duty we owe to the people of thisrounty,
to place the action of our representatives
fairly a,nd squarely before their constituents.
So long as Messrs Cameroitvitand White-
head do what is right, and in accordance
with the principles they professed in seek-
ing election, we shall be only too glad to
give them all due credit; but when, from
what motives are best known to themselves,
they act in direct opposition to those prin-
ciples, and use their positions to bolster up
a cause, and a party, which are repugnant
to those Who confided in them, we shall not
shrink from the duty of exposing their mis-
conduct. We much mistake the ever
staunch and true Reformers of the North
and South Ridings of Huron, if they will
tolerate, fox one moment, any attempt on
the part of their representatives to ride two
horses at the same time. We hope to have,
at an early day, from shese gentlemen'a
full, clear, and explicit explanation of their
conduct in this matter, and if they can sat-
isfactorily clear themselves from suspicion
or blame, we shall be ready, willing, and
most happy, to accept those explanations.
If not, we warn them,. to *pare for the
consequences.
KANSAS.

Editor of the Paris Transcript, from Mr. J.
M. Whitlaw, son of Chas. Whitlow, Esq.,
of Paris, may be of interest to some of our

EUREKA, KANSAS, April 22, .1870.
To the Editor of the TransCript.
Sin, —1 take this opportunity to write you a
short letter, for the purpose of giving you my
ideas of this country, which I think is the most
beautiful one I ever was in. The people are gen-
erous and: hospitable, if you do not abuse their
'hospitality, The soil is the richest I have ever
met with. The streams are small but yery pure,
and are fed entirely by springs. Thelandis most-
ly a loam, rich and very black, with a limestone
basis, which is considered the best foundation
land can have. Around Eureka, Greenwood
County, the yield of grain iis—Oats, 80 bushels
per acre; Corn, 100; Wheat, 51. This is an
average on 60 acres, and the country that can
show such a yield; must hale goodland.
In reference to our rains—they are Very heavy
and leave a thick mud which disappears in from
6 to 12 hours. The above are facts made from
personal observations.
1 have been here five weeks • and have driven
1,000 miles, at least, through SouthWestern Kan -
and I have never seen better land, enjoyed
better health, or met finer, people than I have in
Kansas during that time. -I have bought 1,300
acres of very pretty,land near Eureka, and have
now started to woric.
Yours truly.

WHAT a various money is ours? We may
sometimes have reason to - complain of its
tightness or scarcity, but we can never la-
ment its monotony. It is made up of gold,
silver, paper, copper, .nickle, and what the
A.mericans call "shin -plasters." There are
Provincial notes, and Bank notes, British
shillings and sixpenses, Canada twenty tent
pieces and fives, American halves, quarters,
and dimes,—whieh latter, Mr. Hincks has
not yet been successful in expelling from
the country,—and coppers and pennies, in
endless variety, besides the new paper cur-
_
rency. We ventute to say, there is no
other country in the world with eo mctley
a Currency as ours. Great as the variety
is, however, we would net complain, were it
not for the fact, that embarrasment to bus-
iness is caused thereby, which is felt to a
most annoying extent, almost every day,
and the worst of itis, there is no present
possibility of the nuisance being abated.

Red River.
The Globe says: Our special correspon-
dent, under date Georgetown, May 9th.,
sends us some very interesting particulars
of affairs at Red River, up to so late a date
as the 24th c,f April. Riel, doubtless influ-
enced by Bishop Tache, determined to hoist
the Union Jack over Fort Garry, and to take
down the Fenian flag which had for some
time been flaunted from that fortress. 0'-
Don.ohu and others objected, and there was
a quarrel, which ended in the Fieur de Ile
ancl Union Jack being placed side by side.
Riel has become wonderfully loyal, al-
though, whether owing to a wholesome
dread of anticipated punishment, or from
the persuasion that the acceptance of terms
from Canada will be the most profitable end.
to the affair, is not very clear. Some of his
men appear to be less loyal than himself, and
the Uniou Jack when first hoisted was pul-
led clown and trampled in the .dust, The
'New Nation adnacnishes the Canadian Press
to be less hostile in its tone, and, as may be
supposed, desires an entire forgetfulness of
the past, both on the part of Canada and the
settlers themselves, who are "strangers for a
while seperated-" All this is very fine, and
as the editor of the New Nation declares
that no disrespect has ever been felt to-
wards the British flag, we may hope that
Mr. Riel and his friends will await the a`Ct-
ion of the power of which the flag is the
emblem, and of the law those who carry
the flag are commissioned to enforce.

jury. He said.the accused was not to be
convicted or acquitted on the speeches of
the counsel, or convicted upon prejudice to-
ward the dead. or living, or because public
policy may demand an example. They
must conscientously reject every fact or cir-
cumstance in the evid nee, which in their
estimation could illustr te the question of'
sanity or insanity, or of malice, or which did
not bear upon the tim place, mode, and
act of killing. The stat of domestic rela-
tions it was not meter.' for them to adju-
dicate upou. The question was, how did
the prisoner believe ab t, and how did
that belief impress his mi. d, sanely or in-
sanely I The jury adjourned at 3 o'clock,
and at 10 minutes to 5 returned. A silence
of death prevailed as they took their seats,
and McFarland turned pale as a sheet. The
foreman finally rose to answer the usual
question, and McFarland stood up to face
the jury. He trembled violently and clutch -
the railing beside bim as if for support
"Is the prisoner at the bar guilty or not .
guilty ?" came the question at last, "Not
guilty.'" was the answer, The scene that
followed beggard description, the whole
audience, cheered as though determined to --

The Torreato Telegraph, correspondent
writes:—
Sault Ste. Marie, Friday, May 5th.—
The Algoma has arrived and passed through
the canal. •The American authorities are
on the alert, and orders have been received
from Secretary Fish at Washington, to use
utmost diligence and watchfulness rn seeing
that no British vessels with munitions of -
war or supplies for the Canadian soldiers,
passes through the canal. The Chicora is.
sure to be stopped, and all' our supplies for
the troops will have to be taken across the
Portage to the. Algoma, which is now in
British waters.
The Americans at the Sault seem par-
ticularly jealous of any attempt on the part
of the Canadian or British Goverument to
subdue the rising. at Red River, and no ef.
fort will be spared to throw obstacles in tie -
way of the forces, now about to be sent to.
Red River via Fort William.
The 111CI1 are at work on the road to the
Portage, and all will be in readiness for the -
comfortable transport of the troops and skip -
plies to the Algoma, whicli vessel will car-
ry them to Fort William.
The warlike aspect of events has given
this place quite a busy appearance, and as
it will be in a way the base of operations for
the troops who are going to Fort Garry,
lively times may be expected alr summer.
It is expected that the troops will take
from forty to fifty days in making the jour-
ney from Fort William to Red River.
