The bill abolishing Dual Repre- sentation came up in the House On Tueeday last for the third reading. • As our readers Ism° already aware , this bill provides that no person, • after sitting and voting in the Do- minion Parliament, shall be eligible to sit in the Local Legislature. It. wills be seen that the bill does not - virtually come into force until the first session of the pew Dominion Parliament The President of the Ccuneil and the Treasurer of On- tario, therefore; will have an oppar- tunity,of being elected for the Come monseand still retain their positions in the Ontario Government and their: seats in the Ontario Legisla- • ture until after. the next session. The Opposition were not slow in seeing this point, and made eundry amendmente, so that the law might • come in force at once or au least ina- naediately after the ',Dominion elec- tions Their efforts, however, were in +mires The bill was carried over each amendment by large majorities; and is now the law of the land. The Blake -Wood Slander. Case. This now rather notorious case, over which a deal- of the valualtle time ef our legislators has been Wast- ed during the preeent session was, on Monday night last, final) dis- posed of. . Although the orig a of the case and its succeeding hi tory may he already familiar to our ead- erg, it. will not be out of place to again briefly revert to it in the vari- ous stages through whi'ph it hits pass- ed. After the retit4nent of late Government, t Was pub stated by memoers and friend the late Governmeht, that corrupt means had been used by Mr. B11- ke, f the President of -the present ov- , erement, to imloce Mr. Wood, the :late Treasurer, to resign. hi a ,otlice an -d thereby materially cletractf -ore' =the strength of the Government t a - 'most' critical mon:teat. These charg- es were based upon ),,riiniors that several written compeunrcations hed, passed between those two gentlemen onithe floor of the house prior to the resignation of the _latter of his office. Upon the assenabling of the House aftertthe 'Clariettuas :holidays, on. M. C.

The Government Railveecy . Policy. During the latter part of last week a Bill was introduced int d the Legislature by • the Goverment, setting fin th the mancer in which they proposed to deal with the rail- way subsidy question, The present Government after taking office and making enquiey into the RailWay Aid question ascertained that ss had been . directly and indireetly promised by the late Goeernmenk, to the various schemes projected 4ncl in course of construction throtielteit the Province, which would come up to a inueh larger. annount than that granted lay the Legislature a year ago for that purposee In order therefore not to break faith with any of these railway companies which had secured encouragement fit!am their Predecessors, the Government found it, necessary to ask in their Bill for an increase of the fund. The Bill'proposes to add a sum of $400,0,00, to the railway fund set apart by the at of last session, and to be applied in accordance' with the provisions of that statute. In furth- er aid of rail wave a sum of one hundred thousand dollars yearly tor twenty years, is to he set apart Mit of tbe Consolidated Revenue Funa, so as to form a fund to be known as the Railway Subsidy Fund -2 It is provided that no railway of whica any section is aided from the Rail- way Fund shall receive any aid i6 respect of such Section from the Railway Subsidy Fund.'

Re said thesconduct of the Premier dur- ing the entire session bad been characterized by the sgrossest bee- ience and attempted tyranny. On the question being called, the Government suffered its second mor- al defeat of the session, the original motion being lost by a majority of four. About h q.if-an -hour before the time for prorogation, one of the Attorney -General's thick -and -thin supporters introduced a motion ten- dering that gentleman the special thanks of the House for his conduct , during the session. This was but the signal for a renewal of the hos- tilities of the former part of the day. that Mr. Smith had pre- viously said be repeated, and the Attorney -General also reiterated his statemente. Before the motion could be submitted, the House was sum- moned by the Lieutenant-Gevernor to attend in the _Throne Room for prorogation. The ceremonies attending the pro- rogation were similar to those at t4 opening, with this difference, that the Lieutenent-Governor was greet- ed with a' heavy volley of groans from thet crowd on the street on lebt Passage to the House.
