Although Saturday s Whigs have een commenced, the end of the see ion oes not yet seem to be in Eight. II w - ver, when the final rush comes, busi ess will fly, and the sesaion may cone to a ore peedy close than appearancea now seem to dicate. But there are still several trou le- orne and contentious queations to eat Itwith. The scheme for the extension of the Intereolonial. Railway to Montreal, by he hvpurchase of the Drammond C unty R il- hrough ; the same with the S nate me n- ay, has yet to be discuss d and ut , ili, while young Sir Tupper h to air h m- il traction resolutions and the r distribution self on the Yukon scandals once n re.

Indeed, aside fro a ew private bills, there is very little of a practical nature to show for t is sessio 's Ili Work so far. The sole object of the Opp si- tion seems to be to hunt up material to c n- vict the Government of some slip or wro doing. .And, although this conaumes ti e, it does not bulk much in the way of bu a tees. Thus far, we are glad te say, th ir researches have not brought oat any eapi al for them. The report of CommissionerOgily e, on the alleged niiscleede of the Yukon h cials, has been submitted to the Ifouse, e- gether with the evidence taken., He stig- matizes the charges as trifling,and n most stances unfounded. Of course, th s rep t will not be satisfactory to the 'Oppositi and the main fault they will find with it will be that Mr. Ogilvie, being in the e ploy of the Government, his investigo tio s were partizan and partial, and are not r liable. However, there is no doube but t has been sufficie tly exhaustive,1 nd t would be well for 11 if the so called Yuk n ecandals were give a rest.

In the short space of one yea a great change has been made. The town which were reeking with filth end disease, oecaiiioned by the unsanitary ccnditions which existed, have been thoroughl purged and Cleaned and put into a fairly sanitary cond tion ; the starving natives ha e been fed ead have also been given employment in order that they may bc in a position to help i themeeiveu. In addition to this, A satis- fectory spasm of military and mUnicipal government has been establifshed, iri which worthy natives have been given a , voice ; schools forlthe young have been established and tire being cheerfully availed of, and many useful industries have been sen.5 going, having for their object the imprdvement of the condition of the impoverished and diseeee stricken and long oppressed natives. What these efforts in their behalf are ap- te preci ted by those in whoee inter* they have en inaugurated is evadent frcim the action of the people themseilves. Of course, 1 there are some who do not appreciate these a4ances towards eivilizat on and who are still inoli ea to give trouble but these are, evidentl in the minorit The general people se in to be satisfie , thankful and apprecia ive of what is eing done for them. s to the character of the p ople and the readiness with whioh they tak ad- vantage f - the facilities for self improve- ment th t are being provided for thorn, all accounts are of a most - encorpaging oature and furn oh some compensation for the sac- rifices ,hich have been ,made _for their benefit and in the interests of humanity.
