DEAR SIR, -The leading article in your last issue on " Anonymous Scribbling'. was to the point. Every caudid mind must say aniento your conclusion. 'Tis some- what strange, however, that you do aot practice as you preach ; had you done so, You would certaiuly have lighted your pipe with tbe epistle of a voter, from this township, rather tnan have given it toethe world upan the same sheet, side by eide with the likely to be, celebrated article On " Anonymous Scribbling," A " Voter" writes you, he says simply te tell you how we got along with our elections at the capital of Hay. Had he done so truthful- ly, it would never have entered my head to disturb him in his literary efforts but it is-yery evident that bis anxiety to 'have a quiet stab at inyself in the dark, was of far more importance to him than simply to give you news. It would be news in- deed to many of.your readersto be 4'E:rills ed that notwithstanding the drift and storm preveating the voters in every other town- ship in , the county from getting to the polls ; in the township of Hay elone, there was a fair turn out of the independent electors. Pleasing inference -happy Hay! Providence for once siniled benignly upOn our swamps, and shielded us from a titter -storm, and all in the interests of the said "elndepeudent."

Dr. Tupper, Captain Cameron and Mrs. Cameron, arriyed here to -night from Pem- bina. Matters remain as before, Riel having complete command and styling himself commander in -Chief. If anything, the matter seems -more complivated and formidable than ever. Vic. -Gen. Thiebault and Col. DeSalaberry were to be admitted to an audience with the Council, as representing the Canadian Government, in order to explain the posi- tion the Government had -taken, and it is hoped their influence may be instiumen- tal in bringing about a better understand- ing. Dr. Tupper was two days inFort Garry, and met with Riel ; but nothing was said as to the insurrection. Eight huudred French half-breeds have joined Riel's force. It was rumoured when Dr. Tupper left. Pembina that a large party of Sioux In- dians were marchine ta Fort Garry, and that the half-breed;had gone out to meet them. If this be true, it will doubtless be the cominencemeat of a new and serious trouble. All the Canadian party is still in prison and nothing is said about their release. t met an English half-breed from Fort Garry, who complains of the way they were treated by Col. Dennis. He asked thent to sign that they were willing to sun - port the Government and in the middle of their preparations to do so, he left them in the lurch, without even pat ing them their four shillings due. The insurgents have taken possession of the safe con taining the H udson's Bay trees- ary, and are paying the soldiers with it. They gave a receipt to tite Company for all the goods and money taken. Dr. Tupper describes Riel as a very shrewd, intelligent, determined man. The Last Act of the Elopemen Drama. - The New York papers of Thursday wind up the elopement sensation with the return of the errine daughter and the faithless pastor. The Herald says : - Miss John- ston was returned to her home last even- ing, and has b_rought ;oy to that home as a prodigal daughter. Late in the 'after- noon Mr Johnston received: anonymous information that his daughter was in the city, and wee. at Orm theprineipal hotels and together with his son, he at once in- stituted a diligent search, and succeeded in finding her at once in one of the leading uptown establishments: She itnmediately repaired home with him. Shortly after- wards the fact of her return wasannoiinced at a meeting held in the Seventh Street Methodist Chnieh, and the excitement equalied that of a first class revival. . - She stated to her father that Mr. Cook went to the school -house on -Friday after- noon last, and made arrangeMents with. her te leave immediately. She obeyed, interest in every particular. • That we, on and they left thateveningfor Philadelphia. the outskirts of the township, did not like Having arrived there, her "flighty" com- so much Zurich ;" and that we ran Jatnies panion went to a hotel and hired a room, _ to which he escorted his youthful charge, Pollock from theN. W. corner of the town ship, for one Councillor ; Daniel McColl and instantly tnok his dense-tnre, since which time until twelve &clock last night, she had neither seen nor heard anything el him. It may also be a matter of interest to the inqusitiVe to know that there is nbt tbe slightest reaeon to suppose that Miss John- son isnot as chaste a young lady.as when she left her parents' home last week ; on the contrary, it is asserted that sheis in no wise harmed, save in the matter of unenvi- able and unfortunate notoriety. WHY SHE LEFT The general belief is now that -Miss John- son was a young religious enthusiast, and that Mr. Cook had acquired that singular spell-power,overherwhich,as is well known, often results from the development of an almost fanatical degree of so-calledreligious ardor. There is also reason to suspect that the young girl had the misfortune net to have concealed from him the existence of this fascination which he exercised overher acts, and that in a moment of semi -infatua- tion, or, perhaps, of as light inaanity, tbrought on by great mental agitation, he requested het to fly with' him and she blindly assented. Cook 'also returned to the city on Wed- nesday afternoon and after frightening his esronged,wife b'y brandishing a revolver and making dire threats, he started down street, finally turtling up at the World office, where he assaulted one of the editors, and.. as a natural consequence,was fetched Up in a cell at the nearest' police station.

Labour Prospects during 1670, (From the T rade Review) The demand for al- l kinds ot -labour throughout Canada in 1870 promises to be unsually brisk. In act it is impossible to see how we are going to get labourers and mechanics enough, unless we are largely supplied by means of emigration. Under ordinary circumstances the Dotninion can aunually absorb a considerable addition to its population without any difficulty. But this year weawill be able to absorb easily four or five -times the ordinary number. Our Free Grant system is no w in full work- ing order and many settlers Will no doubt go in mid oecupy these lands its soon as spring opens. e anticipate a much larger infltrx of settlers into these newly -settled townships this year than last, Thousands of labourers will he required o make the numerous railways which are course of censtruction or about to be -corn enced. The Intercolonial alone will absor erge numbers, and it would be a great adva ta- ge if the Commissioners could so arran that these workmen, when the line is finish- ed, would be retained as settlers. We be- lieve these gentlemen have some scheme with this object in view ; we hope it will be vigorously and earnestly prosecuted. Besides the Intercelonial. a large number of workmen will be req nired for the Toronto, Grey & Bruce, the Nipiesing line, the Wel- lington, Grey & Bruce and other railways. At least two of these roads have begun, Old several others, which are projected, will very probably commence operations by the begmning of the summer _months. Where are the men to come from to supply this unusual .dernand ? They must be mainly obtained from abroad, for there is no surplus &emir in the Canadian market "at present, Never was there a better op- portunity 'or our Gm. ernment to make euergetic efforts to induce the British emigrants to throw in their lot with us We. hope the einigyation agents in England Scotland. and 'Ireland are active in the dis- charge a their duty. They need have no fears as to the nuetber a emigrants they send to Canada this year. There will be immediate work for all who can be induced to come, and after spending a seasori or two making our new railroads, and thus -becotning acquainted with the work and ways of the country, they can then settle on our Free Grants with reasonable certainty of seccess as farmere. Many millions of dollars must be spent on rail- roads throughout Canada during 1870. 1 his expenditure cannot fail VS -affect al- most every branch of tiw,iness. During the expenditure on the Grand Trunk and other lines made between le,50 and 1857, and the great deman4 for labour which then existed times becaine uuusnally brisk - in fact, all classes thought they were getting eich. . We don't want any inflation this time -, we think we can get along quite well without any attack of `crisis, but it would only be shutting our eyes to past ex perience, not to expect that the trade of the country will feel the influence of an unusual stimulus. erns to the wisdom of all the expenditures on railways which are to be made, we say nothing at present ; but that the effect will be an unusual de- mand for labour during 1870, and a period of increased business activity, seems as certain as that caush follows effect. . 0 844 4 - The Crisis of Spain. The King of hale, acting, it is said, at the suggestiop of his Queen, has refused to anew her son, tbe Duke of Genoa, to accept the Spanish Crown, and, as a con- sequence, a Ministerial crisis has super - evened. It was the intention of the Pro- visional Governnient, acting in accordance with the wishes of alargelnajority of Span - WI nation, .to place the King upon the throne, and thus sechre for the country a limited and constitutionel Monarchy. Prim was opposed to the candidature of the Duke de Montpensier, the brother-in- law of Queen Isabella and in favor of the Duke of Geeoa ; but the Government, hav- ing failed to seeure a candidate who will be acceptable to the people, have resign- ed. Serranreof course, still continues to be Regent, apd it is now said that an attempt will be made to elevate hiin to the throne, and thus put an end to further difficulty ; but it would be more likely to create one. Thrones have not often gone begging for kings. eaksan.aamm..awa.a/Ma...mar.c--x.,.L.. • - - - - . THE FIRST VETO. -President Grant on Monday transmitted to the Senete his first veto message, and the report that he had vetoed something created quite a little sensation in the corridors of Congress. It turned nue that it was a private bill pro- viding for a hearing in an extension case involving a pistol improvement, the time for such hearing having passed. The President did not even give any reasons ; he simply referred to reasons given in the accompanying report of the Chief of Ord- -nance. My. Ferry innocently moved to refer the yetoto theCommittee on Patents, when Mr. Trumbull solemnly asked, who ever heard of a reference tn a veto ?' when the requirements of the Constitution Iwere suggested and the veto went to the table, to be called up to -morrow. A veto by Grant is quite a refreshing incident. Effects ot Salt as a Manure.

It exercises a great influence in rendering soluble some of the more in- soluble earthy salts of the soil.

A Cetike RoOF. -D. B. Mead, in the Country Gentleman, says Eighteen years ago I diaele a flat roof over the cent- ral portion ofemy dwelling, in the follow- ing ,manner I first laid jointed flooring boards upon the joists, and covered this surface with roofing paper ; then poured upon a section of the roof a small quantity of raw coal -tar, spreading it evenly with a shingle, to the depth perhaps of a sixteenth of an inch. Upon this I sifted common road dust, putting it on evenly to the depth of half or three-quartes of an inch ; that is, as long as the dust continued to be wet throogh the top by the tar. It took me but au hear or two to go over the whole root, 13x18, in -this manner. My first application was made in May ; and about six weeks later sl went over the whole suOface again in like manner; finish- ing up with the fourth application in Sep- tember. Since the first application of the tar and dust, the roof has not lealied a drop, and appears good for a century to come,: Since the first-year it haihbeen like a firm' sheet of stone and half an inch thick, upon which the family can sit, walk, run„ or dance, without injury to the roof.'

The design in the new invention is said te-be to make the cars fire proof, and so avoid danger by burning; and to make them so strong as to prevent the loss of life by splintering and destruction in colli- sions. The frame is made of soft steel rods which, it is alleged, will not break by bon ing, as wood and cast iron do. An ind structible car would seem to be not onl • desirable for passengers, but of bene- fit o the " accident ineurance" interest, and indeed to railway companies them- selves, to save their rolling stock -more especially on those roads which are in the abit of "telescoping," their cars now and in full -speed .collisions.
