But, sooner or later, death comes to all, and to the friends of the deceased gentleman the consolation remains that he had already exceeded the three score and ten, to which the Holy writ informs us very few attain. _ A United Empire Loyal* ist in his early days, his attachment to Britian and British institutions led him to endure much privation and suftering m orâ€" der to maintain their supremacy upon the coutinent of North America, and so solici« tous was he to see them carried out in their purity and entirety in that portion which still remained true to the old flag, that be and his family looked with marked disapprobation on the system of irrespons sible government so long prevalent in this country, and threw the weight of their inâ€" Auence with the party which agitated for ‘reform | and direct â€" responsibility to the To pursue such a course in those days led to considerable miseon. ception in quarters, to obloquy, and in some instances to persecution, but these things did not deter Mr. Pennock trom labouring earnestly and faithfully for right and juastice. cover, nothing has been done which would render that gentleman open to censure, or which would in any way amount to an abuse of his position. We have been told that a very strong private animus exisus against him in a certain quarter, and that «n OF§Whized effort has been made to Ts teiters paving baeg sat ts ts We ing letters having been sent to him Whi indicate as much. Unless the future deâ€" vele;s something of which in the meanâ€" time we have been unable to obtain any clue, it does not appear that Mr, Arnoldi has done anything in the slightest degree calculated to impair the reputation he has hitherto borue as an effisient and faithful public servant. w~ seen any statement whaterer regarding this matter, and we should like to know what the papers are which contained it. We hare Mr. Arnoldi‘s authority to say that it is true he (is engaged in building a ski# for his own use j that he supplies the material therefor himself; that whaterer he does in conâ€" nection with it be does in his spare hours; und that in any case where he has utilized any of the men employed in the Depart~ ment, he has paid them ous of his own M'fl‘!“ says will be apparent upon examining the lists in the Departâ€" ment. He further assares us that he has put the Minister of Public Works. in possession of the full facts of the case,. Apart from Mr. Arnoldi‘s statement, howâ€" ever, so fir as we have been able to dis * bour of the Public.Works Department = to his private use, and that as the result © the Minister is soon to be furnished with " a steam yacht. ‘The rumor grew out of # the fact of which Mr. Mackenzie is igno, i rant that one Arnoldi, mechanical engiâ€" #neer of the Department, has built a © steam yacht for his private use, by emâ€" * ploying public labor and material. Arnolâ€" # di is a Tory, and was educated under the | # late Government. He will probably be #@ dismissea."

James Morris, then Post Masterâ€"General, and one of Mr. Pennock‘s warmest friends. The deceasâ€" s4 gentloman was a consistent and honâ€" of the fact that it is only a few weeks since an enquiry was instituted, but the ground*® for it were found to be so weak that the Jounsel for the promoters of the enquiry themsei!ves mored the matter out of Court at Toronto, there not being a particle of evidence upon which to proceed. » ‘ With some knowledge of the facts, and with tull knowledge of the men who comâ€" pose the Board ct Directors of the Ottawa and Coteau Railway, we are in a position to declare that the statements published by the Cornwall Gazefis and quoted by the Uttawa Cititen, relative to alleged mani~ pulation of the infuence and interests ol the railway, are false from beginning to end. \&li that isalleged is charged agrinst Mr. D. A. Macdonald, while every person dm&nm.mmmm all the other members of the Board ate equally responsible with him for acts that sould be done by the Board only. We reâ€" neat that there is not a word of truth in the statements of the Gazetic, which are soncocted for the sole purpose of gratify* ing a malignant personal feeling cherished agrainst the Postmaster General.

He also managed, in company with his Lordship Chief Justice Day, to "disburse‘‘ some . Is would be interesting to know h;(tm disburse. ments were made. We should like to know on authority upon what principle the witnesses wore recompensed for loss of time attending the Commission, and how much they were allowed respectively for expenses, ‘There wore strange stories‘ prevalent at the time to [tho effect that there were wonderful in« equalities in this respect, and that in ,ordor to insure profuse liberality, it was necessary the witness should be a very promounced and prominent party politi«. cian,. It would be interesting to know ‘ how much was paid to the Bev, Mr. Moâ€" Mullen as cofupared to that «disbursed" i ' to such interesting witnesses as Mr. i‘!’honu White, who came all thom‘ from Montreal to swear that he pald very ‘dearly for the Gazeite, or the dashing young lawyer‘s clerk who came all the way from Woodstock with his scented handkerchief and embroidered slippers to to stop a night at the Russell House, to swear before the Commission that he was Mr. McMullen‘s cousin, and convey to the world the important information that he has once been ‘*‘out West‘" to shoot prairie hens in Illinois. He omitted to say how many he killed, if any, but we suspect it would be safe to surmise that he frightened a few. _ His Lordship and Mr. _ Vankoughnot â€" are no doubt _ exceedingly _ honest men ; nevertheless we shouldlike to know ex: actly the particulars of where such a large sum as $3,200 went, A Montreal barrister aoted as stenographer to the Commissioner, and he had a French assistant, besides a good few clerks now and again helping him to copy the evidence in triplicate, A lawyer was not the most likely man in the world to ba a competent short â€"hand writer, but when his own skill ftailed him, he had the verbatim reports in the daily newspapers to fall back upon. . Uf course he was re« spounsible for the correctness of his reports, and his position was thus one of the most important in connection with the Commis« sionâ€"certainly ten times more important than that occupied by Mr. Vankoughnet, who got his salary of $1,400,. Â¥Yet we have no account of any payment being made to> either the stenographer or any of his :sâ€" sistents. Had they to give their services for nothing and pay their own expenses ! Mr.â€" Vankougbnet‘s . expenses mount inptosuo. Those of Mr. Hutchinson, the stenographer, cannot be supposed to have been much if any less, What salary was he paid, and how much wasâ€"he allowâ€" ed for expenses?: Did Mr. Vankoughnet keep a record of the entire expenses ol: the Commission, amd it so, are all the particulars furnished by that record made public? These are matters which eviâ€" dently require some further explanation. A sum not one tenth part as large as this, in connettion with the Central Prison at Toronto, was made the subject of an exhaustive and expensive inquiry by a committee of the Ontario Legislature, which was followed up by the moving of a vote of no confidence in the Administra« tion. The disposition of such a large amount as $3,200 is & matter worth ins quiing after, especially seeing that those who appear to ‘have made the disburse» ments are persons not directly responsible either to Parliament or to the people for their coaduct. . But the whole transaction is only an« other proof added to the many already within the cognisance of the people of the recklessly loose and corrupt system of adâ€" ministering public aftairs from which the citizens of Canada have fortunately esâ€" cuped, 1t would be hard indeed to find he public transaction of the late Govern: ment which was free from the taint of cor. ruption and jobbery. The Pacific Scandal was simply the crowning effort of a minis. ter, who, by long experience became an expert trickster and a clever public imâ€" postor. It is not surprising that the ‘Tory organs are now so vigorousily employ» ed throwing flth at honest men, O# ecourse it is natural for them to measure Other people‘s corn by their own bushel. This has been ® nice little addition to salaries all round ; but what of the patrioâ€" tio Polette? His modesty is, to say the least of it, commendable. He cannot be said to have killed himselt with work or lost much of his sleep through anxiety during the progress of the investigation, and he seems to have been somewhat im« pressed with his own uselessness, for he only charges for his expenses, and even less under that bead than any of the other officials connected with the Commission. It is a pity that the.others were not equally modest. We should like to know what did Mr. Sailter J, Vankough» net do for the $1,400 paid him for ser« ‘¥ices as clerk? He succesded, we believe» in making bimself an awfully importent personage, in throwing a great air of mys tery round everything, in bullying everyâ€" ecl io Han. Advanced to Hon. C. D.

Mr. Lanâ€" gevin and some other _ members of â€" the â€" Government would not appear to have been admitted to Cabinet seerets, these being confined to the Preâ€" mier and Sir George Cartier. If Mr. Lan. gevin had resigned without any further reason than this, nobody could have blamed him. He says, for instance, "I am «‘not aware ef any promiso of amnesty hayâ€" "ing been made by the Gorernment of Canada further than that contained in "‘the proclamation of 6th ecember, 1869, t‘or of any promise by any member of the ‘‘Government on behalt of the Goverâ€" ‘‘ment ;‘ thus implying that such a proâ€" mise might have been made by the Uove ernment without his knowledge. Cerâ€" tainly a most extraordinary admission on the part of a Cabinet Mimister, As to what took place between the Governor. General and Father Richot on the occasion of the interview which has been the subâ€" jeot of so much controversy, Mr. Langerin: refused to speak, on the ground of his being present in his capacity as a Cabinet ‘ Minister, and he persisted in this refusal notwithstanding Mr, Blake‘s demand that he disclose : what oceurred. The _ rest _ of _ Mr. â€" Langerin‘s evidence is _ simply _ a recital ot what took place at various interviews with Arohbishop Tache and Father Ritohot at which he was present, but ut neither of which anything bearing directly upon the question of ammesty transpired. NMe, how‘ ever says he advised Archbishop Tache to counsel Riel not to take his seat after he had been elected for Provencher. Would he give similar advice now that he is out of oftice, and beyond the reach of any emâ€" barrassment which might arise therefrom ? This would be an excellent test of the pu:sity of the exâ€"Minister‘s motive in tendering the advice. His deposition closes by the assertion, in reply to * question by Mr. Geoffrion, that he had no knowledge of any memorial or document upon the subject of the death of Boott, nor as to tha amnesty, signed by Sir George Cartier and : handed to the Governor m and by him transmitted to the lll‘hoflu.l- a We propose thus to review the evidenc, of the other witnemses from day to day The . niiterw. sucveading" Mr Lndgerin witnoss Â¥ was Archbishop Tache, Coxaxszo.â€"The Byâ€"Wash under Rideau and George streots has been cleansed of all obstructions, such as boxes, barrels, & , which are from time to time thrown into the stream and of course greatly prevent the flow of the water.
