But what was more to their chagrin it was unsuccessful. There was ground for hopeâ€"that they would have been taught a great moral lesson by the reverses of fortune, which destroyed them ; tut yet there seems no change for ths better. 1t was of a piece with all their tactios that they should attempt, as they did in the motion ot Mr. Bowell, to shew that the present Government were guilty %> some extent of offences that had been brought home to themselves. It has been & favorite cry with them, very much used, probably because they had no better, that â€" officials : had been coerced into While the party now on the left in the House of Commons are suffering their great and deserved humilistion, a few of them persist in shewing by their vicious artifices how hard it is for an old dog to give up his bad tricks. It appears as though they would not be horest if they could ; fair play with them is at a discount, if an opportunity offers to strike a blow beâ€" neath the belt. The charge for years had been msde against them that they had if it could be overcome by means that honorable men would scorn to use. Their expulsion from power was the result of the use of means which they intended to have quite the contrary effect. kept themselves in power by toul means when fair weapons. failed them. They stopped .at no obstacle that stood between them and their purpose, much.

KAVANAGH, Proprietor A good deal of important work was acâ€" complished by the Senate yesterday, many bills being advanced one and two stages. The report of the Printing Committee, reâ€" commendi~g the acceptance of the tender of Messrs. McLean, Roger & Co , evoked a lengthy discussion as to the principle of accepting the lowest tenders, and the merits of the yarious offers, Finally, the report was left oser gill Friday, to await the expression of ihe opinion of the Lower House thereon. In the course of the reâ€" marks made by the different sperkers some mistakes were made, / no doubt on iincomot information, with regard to the Ti®s Co., and the extert and equipment ‘ of the establishraent. We shall not notice these errors at further length, which we believe were unintentional, contenting ourselves with mentioning the handsome retraction made by Hon. Mr. Ferrier of his remark, the other day, that the Tixes establishment was & oneâ€"horse aftfair, The hon. gentleman stated on this occasion he knew nothing, personally, of the mat. ter, having taken his information from a member of the Committeo. ‘The pubuo! can now understand the nature of the means resorted to by certain parties to deâ€" feat the legitimate enterprise of the Trares, in the interest of a rival office which, ac, cording to the general admission of mem* bers of Parliament friendly to it them» selves, had failed to give satisfaction to that body." The attempt to excite pres judice against the Ts by reâ€"echoing an old absurd story as to Mr. Cotton‘s conâ€" nection with it, is on a par with such asâ€" sertions as that hostile one which Mr. terrier, on finding out his mistake, withs drew last night. This gentlem:n is one of the, men possessing qandour, L.irness and manliness enough not only to speak and act openly, but to make amends for any injury to his neighbours he may have unwittingly committed. A Just received at the Bazaar, 24 Sparks street, the new game of Chivokee. Call and see it. 2515 ed in quite the opposite direction, and that they were themselves the sufferers. Canada began to manufacture the articles which were tormerly imported from the United Statee, or to import from Europe ; aud experience has shown that such things as household furniture of Canadian manu. facture are much saperior to what was forEorly imported. . Besides, Canada has avast area of new and fertile land, much of it eovered with timber, while the States do not stand in such an advantageous position, so that they were compeiled to purchase our raw material despite a prohibitory tariff and, therefore, the excess of Canaâ€" dian exports over imports from the United states is something like $7,000,000 ans nually, _ Under these ciroumstances, and considering that the trade between Canada and the United States, as shown ‘by ‘the report of the Bureau of Statistios for 1873, is about equal to the combined trade with the States and Scotland, Ireland, the West Indies, Australia, and Kong Kong, it is not surprising that our neighbours should be anxions to renew the treaty. Besides, it must be for the mutual interest of both countries that they should be in friendly â€" commercial _ relations, and if matters be so arranged as to enable vessels under both flags to use without re. striction the waters of the great lakes, the canals, and the River St. Lawrence, the advantage to the whole world must be apâ€" parent from the fact that the produce of the West will tind a much more ready con» veyance to a profitable market. _ By the assimilation of interests, it will not be too much to expect our neighbours assisting us in the completion of certain railway connections, such as the bridging of the River 8t, John, which would have the effect of diverting a large amount of the traftic between this Continent and Europe towards Halifax, as mentioned in the Senate the other day, andâ€" thus materially improving the trale of the Lower Proâ€" vinces. The treaty which. is now propo:ed to be made is very much the renewal of that of 1854, by which alarge list of articles were admitted free of duty into each country. ‘These were breadstuffs of all kinds, animals, fruit, fish, dairy products, ores, coal, timâ€" ber and lumber, firewood, and wool, be sidzes others of minor importance. The making of such a treaty will no .doub; give a great stimulus to trade from the fact that from 1854 to 1866, when the abâ€" rogation of the treaty took place, about fifty two per cent of the trade ot Canada was done with the United States. Whether we shall ever. import so extensively from the neighbouring Republic as we were in the habit of .doing before Canadian manufactures were known, or in exisâ€" ence, remains to be seen, but there is not a doubt that the treaty will bring about a more friendly feeling between the two countries, and prove indisputably that their interests are in many respects idsn. tical . The renewal of a reciprocity treaty beâ€" ’ tween Canada and the United States is a matter of such importance to both counâ€" tries that it would be difficult to estimate its value in money. Since 1866, when the treaty of 1854 was ended by the United States, the progress which Canads has made is scarcely equalled by anything acâ€" complished in a like period of time even by the great Republic, population and all other circumstances considersd. Canâ€" adalearnt in that time to depend upon her own rosources, and an impetus was given to manufactoring industry in the Do« mirion which could hardly have been exâ€" pected to take place had this courâ€" try continued to depend upon her neighbour for the importation of manufactured articles as was the case previous to 1866. Although it was intendâ€" ed by the termination of the treaty on th* part of the States to inflict punishment on Canada for the part she took in reference t»> Fenian matters, our neighbors have found to their cost that this action operat« very much to his disgust, that the letter addressed to Dennis Eiagan was none of his, will soon overtake the credulous publisher and reader. It is no real live scandal after all; nothing more than a hoax. No one readâ€" ing Mr. Ross‘ disclaimer of the letter, made yesterday in the Houu,' could fail rightly to appreciate the debased morals and the vicious taste of the persons who, could be parties or accessories to the miserable scheme contiived to fix upon ‘a gentleman, conduct of which he neither was nor would be guilty, It scarcely becomes the purest of the adherents of the fullen regime to charge grave ruisconduct against their opponents.

How ? By some social talent, by his lively and animated conversation, by his wit? No, by his shirt, which had no relations with the whiteness of ermine, I must tell you, said my friend, that Mr. Mackensie wears a shirt for four Sundays in succesâ€" sion, and that the one just mentioned was at the fourth." The united French party, should it ever arise, in the shape deâ€"ired by the Minerve, will not, it is plain, be brought together by the socicl talent, the lively conyersation or the wit of its proâ€" moters We do not knew how many white shirts may be among them ; but that like being drawn towards like, it is quite evident that there will be no one with the language or the feelings of a gentleman. As it is to ccnsist of French Canadians, therefore, and necessarily excludes that element, we suspect it will be a decided failure. f .| _‘The Minerve has a policy, if it may be s3 called, which it is constantly forcing upon | the attention of its readers,. Wa are not | particularly struck with the wisdom of | what we suppose we must call the princiâ€" , | ple of this policy, we do not mean judged from our own point of view, but from that | which we should adopt were we on the | same side politically as our contemporary, The Minerve‘stpolicy is the very simple cne of uniting all French Canadiaas into one party, merely because of their origin withâ€" | out any reference to political opinions or political objects, OUne can imagine few | projects which carry with them 10 much intellectual degradation, â€"It is a wonderâ€" tul proposition for one who seis himself up as a master thinker for the descendants of that noble nation, so fruitful in great ideas, as ate the people of France, that all individual investigation of facts and all personal con:cience as to po‘itical action should be abandoned, and th«t men should herd themselves together, merely by in« instinet, like skeep in a field, or like swallows preparing for their migration, without any exercise of judgment as to the course they are to pursue, or the ends to be arrived at. * is * * But it is not so much the prin~ ciple of this very simple policyâ€"simple in "‘both senses of the word~which excites our surprise so much as it is thé means which our contemporary chooses to pro, ‘mote its adoption. It might have been expected that the apostle of uch a doc. trine, would have sought to rally his dis eiples round men of eminenc«, in order in that way to escape divisions, and that as, after all, the French Canadians when thus rallied, must coâ€"operate with people of other races, if they are to effect anything, he would choose for that purpose names which enjoy the respect of other nations as well as of their own. it might also have been supposed that he (wcould comport himself with so much dignity, and in a manner so conciliatory as to achieve for the very exceptional party which he hoped to construct the greatest share of. popularity with ochers who cannot be ads. mitted to it, of which its constitution would admit. Instead of that we find our eonum&nuy promoting union among FrenchCanadians by tho grossest and much ruetile, and, for that reason, most harm ess though still «ffensive attacks upon flow French _ Canadians, whose worth is _ acknowledged from one end of country to the other, and whose elimination from public life would at this moment destroy all capable French Canadian leadership, Thus we see Mr. Dorion] one of the men to whom the country from end to end gives its most entire confidence, constantâ€" ly held up to ridicule and reproach. Messrs Fourpier, Letellier, Bureau, Laâ€" flimme, and others whom we might menâ€" sionâ€"men whose capacity and strength of purpose have brou%m them into positions of influence and public regard, under the mo«t unfavorable circumstances, Mr, Cauâ€" chon too a man whom the Minerve form, erly worshipped and who is assuredly not to be despised ua&onr in the State, are all alike classed with Mr. Dorion as fellows almost too despicable for civil mention. Yet they have all won their spurs, most of them unde: extremely . unfivourable cirâ€" cumstances, without the sanction of the Minerve or of its party, and they are not likely to be scolded into the loss of these hard earned advantages. So the first step towards this French Canadian unity is to make it impossible to unite with those, who . have forced .Athemselves .

When the question of dismissals was up the other day, the member for Cupe Breton, opposed to the Government, [Mr. McDonald]. made a gemeral state.. ment that he [Mr. Ross] used his influence as Minister in favour of the Goyernment at the late elections. As the charge was of a general nature, he did not take any notice of it, but after that the Right Honourable Member for Kingston took it up. He (Sir «John) aszed him if he would deny that he had sent & letter officially instructing an official £» vote for ‘the Government cindidate, He was expecliog then that the letter would have been read, or at least that it would have been plaeed on the table of the House so that he and his friends would have had an opportunity of seeing it, and saying whether or not the letter was written by him. : The ‘only reâ€" ply that he would have made at the time would hare been that, so: far as his recolâ€" lection could carry him, he had not wr:tten that letter.â€" He then went over to see the hon. member for Jape Breton, and asked thit. hon. gentleman to show him the letter and said he would acknows ledge and publish it if he had written it, and asked, on the other hand that the hon. member, if he (\Mr. Ryss) would not acknowletge the letter, would give it a public demal. From time to time the hon, gentleman promised to give him the leiter, said he would send it to him ; he was expecting the letter from day to day, and that was the reason he did not before now allude to that matter. ‘The very moâ€" m<nt he saw the Jetter in print, he was avle to say that he noyer wrote such & le‘ter, that he did not know H)fl Eagan‘‘; that his name was new to and that l:ofl 2}:1 nmow tlnlt he ocou pied any tfon, a bhis own goumry.y:n?‘:;:mum mw:' for days a&.d days, he say mfi country canvassiog against him he (Mr. Ross) failed to _ send ‘him any letter or send him any verbal méesage or anything of ‘te <kind.

HOLTUN mt&.(pomt of order, He contended discussion sfter the explanation of the Minister was out of place. 4 * The matter dropped. The House concurred in several items of Supply. Mr, MACKAY (Cape Breton) said, se far as he was concerned, the first time he was aware that there was any one in the eountry by the name of Dennis Eagin, was when he saw the letter in the Citizen Of the other night. ‘The first intimation he had that there was any correspondence of this kind, itâ€"there was any, from the Minister of Militia, was when he saw the letter in the CHfizen. He was in close con nestion with the Minister of Militia at Victoria during the e| ; and . could say that that gentieman h& t himself entirely aloof from all ials in the county, so that it might not be said of Em“:hu he ever used his position as a 6 ter in influencing the election. â€" In Cape Breton, the minister pursued the same course. ‘The member for Om: Breton {(Mr. MeDonadl) said he know , / handwriting of the Minister of Militia, and that the letter in question was written by him._ Ifi t turned out to be so he (Mr. MacKk ) could only .say that it would. take him by surp:ise, but his belief was, that it could never have been written by the Minister of Militia. The hon. gentle. man was proceeding furiher when, _ Mr, YOUNG enquired whether the letâ€" ter was marked l!‘u-mt... Mr, MeDONALD said not.

He was very unwell at the time and he gave the leiter to Dr. Tupper with the request that he would return it to Mr. McDonald, which, however, he found..had .not â€"been Mr, BUWKLL stated that the letter had been shown to him, but that, not knowâ€" the handwriting of the Minister of M he could not of course say that the letter was written by him.

He (\Ur. McDonald) knew it was impossible that a wharf could be buils there, and he was glad to say he was correct, and that up to this time the hon.

Mr, MACKENZEâ€"Who gave it to the newspapers? _ _ # Mr. MoDONALD (Cape Breton) regretted very much that the Minister of Militia did not the other vight â€"deny bhaving used his position as ‘Minister in influencing the elections. He thought, when the Minis. wrofuul&hflpdwflnmmm other night, that bhe the truth of the charge. ‘If be (Mr. Ross) had asked him for the proot at that time, he was ready to lay the proof before the House. The Hon. gentleman failed to do so, and he thought heâ€" stood convicted. With reference to the letter, he knew the handâ€" writing of the Minister of Militia, and beâ€" lieved it to be his, and every person to whom he had shewn the letter said it was the writing of the Minister of Militia. He gave that letter to the nonorable member '(« r 3 tuat he never wrote thit letter, and he 10o0k it for grâ€"nted that the letter would be placed on the table, an i that the hon. member for Cape Breton would give his denial to a "bogus‘" letter that was never writien by him (Mr. Ross). With these exâ€" pianations, he thanked the House for havy» img given him a chance to make this ex« planation. The letter he understood was written in pencil, and he wished to n{ that neither in pennor in pencil was it written by him. (Loud applwuse.) except of course in legal documents.
