Scott, Necretary of State, at his the inspectors has fallen, is a shreowd, able man, acquainted practically with the proâ€" fession of his: constituents, and during the whole of his coursejas a public man has shown very great solicitude regarding whatever he considered was caloulated to benefit them and the cause of education generally. . His speeches upon the Public and High Schools Bill when that measure was before the Ontario Legislature, were at the time, and will be remembered by. all interested . in odu-uo-l‘ matters as very clear and, lucid / expositions of the necessities of the rural districts in regard to public schools ; and it is well known thst not a few of the amendments adopted by the Select Com« â€"mittee to whom the measure was referred were framed or suggested by him. He has had very large opportunities and he has made large use of them, of acquir« ing a thorough knowledge of the practical working of our educational institutions . and laws ;>his ideas on most points are consonant with those of the more promis nent educational reformers ; above all he is free from any attachment to the present occupants of the Education Office ; and we may safely say that his presence in the Council of Public Instruction augurs well for the future of that body. The election of a man like Professor Wilson to the Council by any eonstitnency whatever, could not fail to be a source ° of national gratification and indeed of naâ€" * tional pride.

We may well shudder when we think of the precipice over which the national honour has been baDFs ing, and the desperate character of the fate from which it has just escaped, but it is another proof of the innate and high> toned morality of those who mould the minds of the people, and per se an equally happy omen of what we may in the near fature expect of .« Young Canada." _ Lot the fathers and inothers, the just men and virtuou« women of Canada rejoice, for the heart of the REPORT OF THE NORTH Mr. Walter Bown, of Winnipeg. was the witness succeeding Sir John Macdonald. He was editor and proprietor ot the Ner‘â€" Wester when the troubles broke out, and the articles in his paper seem to have had considerable to do with the feeling of dis satisfaction which induced the rising. He declares it as his opinion that the Huds son‘s Bay Company were opposed to the establishment of a newspaper Uup there, that they desired that the country should not become known to people out» side, and _ he asserts (hbis firm belief that Governor MoTavish and the authorities were in sympathy with the in surgents. He says he wrote to the Gor« ernor in that sense, but His Honour repu« diated the charge. He believres the Hud» son‘s Bay Company‘s officials knew the people were rising, and they made no at« l tempt to put them down. They also knew, he asserts, that Riel and others were going Itoutopo.ouion of the Fort, but they did not close the gates ; â€"and he adds that they refused to accept the assistance of those willing to help in opposing the en* trance . s Mr. Thomas Bunn. . who acted as Secres | : tary of Riel‘s Provisional Government, was | next examined, and gave his version as to | the causes leading to the insurgent rising, which in its main features agreed with the statements of Archbishop ‘Tache and Father Ritchot. In one important respect, however, he supplementedâ€" the informaâ€" tion conveyed by these statements. He asserts most positively that the discontent among the people was really very limited, and . no _ opposition would . have been . . offered to . _ the . transfer of the North Wes: to the Dminion if they lii{l been laft to themselves; but there were men of intelligence behi who influenced snduLguidod themâ€"men intellectually superior to thore who apâ€" peated on the scene. When asked to name any of those thus referred to, how. ever, he mentioned only Riel and Bruce, although it must be evident he had some» body else in view, since both Riel and Bruce did appear on the scene apd took the leading part. He says the English speaking clergy were favourable to union with Canada, and used their Tnco, which he describes as very great, to proâ€" mote peace and prevent disturbance ; but he was not aware, either by rumour or from hisâ€" own personal knowledge, that the Fremch clergy took the same course, Or that they dissuaded their congregations from action. On the second branch of thy committee‘s inquiries â€"that is to say, re» garding any direct promise of amnesty, beyond that contained in the proclamation â€"Mr, Bunn knew nothing. On the third order ot °* reference, he corroborated Archbishop Tache‘s evidence of what took place on His Grace‘s return from Ottawa, the promises of a general amnesty he made on behalf of the C:nadian Govern. ment, and so on,. Mr. Buan also produced copies of notices addressed to himself â€"as Secretary and to Lowis Riel as President 0 f the Provisional Government,notifying them of the election of gentiemen to represent various parishes in the Provisional Coun: cil over which Mr. Riel presided, and & resolution expressing loyalty to the British Crown passed by that Previsional Council unanimousiy. He was not in the Fort when Soott was and did not know at the ‘ fimmt:utdbunhjfil. ‘The rest of Mr. Bunn‘s evidence was unimportant, Mr. A. G. 8. Bannatyne was next @x« amined. | His evidence as to the causes of the outbreax agreed in most respects with that of the preceding witnesses, butâ€" he added that the constant misrepresenta« tions of the Nor‘«â€"Weste and the articles appearing in the Globe very greatly exâ€" | asperated the population, and materialiy | C added to the existing dissatisfaction. j Dr. Cowan was next examined, but his | ; evidence was of mo importance in any | ; sense. in fact, it is difficult to see for I what purpose he and some others were p called before the Committee at all. o Mr. Royal, a member of the late Clarke Government of Manitoba, was also called, | but beyond saying that Sir George Cartior had commissioned him to tell Riel that the ammesty was a settled aftair, «nd that it was Sir. George‘s desire that the ex~ Preside~t should leare the country for six or seven years, till the excitement passed over, he had nothing of the slighâ€" test importance to communicate. The evidence of Messrs. J. 8. Lynch, Thomas Spence, and James Sutheriand, was also without the slightsst importance in referâ€" ence to the object of the inquiry. Lieutâ€"Governor Archibald, the mext witness, makes a very lengthy statement, in the course of which (he informs us that | he received no instructions as to the ammnesty before leaving Ottawa to assume | the Governorship of the Prairie Province, ; | but he says the people of Manitoba wer® : | undoubtedly ceavinced that there was to ||bonmm1. This conviction, he un« . | derstood, came to them through Archâ€" -\bhhop'l‘ndhoud Father Ritchot ; buat he n | denies that he received any promise of its being granted from the Government of | c mnominbnumymomborthnol,nd C makes an equally explicit denial regard. ? ing any promise on his own behalf. He | , simply assured Archbishop Tache and the | t people generally that if any such promise | ! had been made, no doubt it would be ad« } hered to in the very best of faith. In his cor | . respondence with the Federal authorities, | however, Mr. Archibald was yery out»|. .pokoninfuvourofusmty,ud in a| letter to the late Mr. Howe he charac= terizes the attempt to punish the leaders in the rebellion as equal to punishing the whole people, and otherwise expresses himself very strongly in the same sense ; as for instance:â€""If then you cannot «© punish without recalling constitutiqnal | “Gonnmt.whtnuht.bonhup- | "ing up the pretence of calling these | " people outlaws. In my view you have | ‘, to choose between revoking responsible . | ©Government, and admitting that you 1| © ecannot go back to inflict punishment , | © for offences in which half the populaâ€" p i tion were implicated, committed before p “MW~M¢" n | In the course of his testimony, he submits nation is truly in the right & memorandum he made about the time of the Fenian invasion in 1811, giving a l detailed account of the occurrences COn~ nected therewith ; alsohis correspondence with the Federa! authorities in reference | thereto. If these documents and his own !proohmfion, do â€"mpot â€" belie â€"him, \l(r. Archibald _ is â€" certainly _ one of the vaine«t egotists . alive. Then Ifollowod the negociations which terâ€" minated in the retirement / Of Riel trom the contest in Provencher, and the miserable spectrole is‘ presented of the 1e~ presentative . of royalty becoming the electioneering agent of ® political party in the State, The correspondence Was alâ€" together a remarkable one, &8 the teleâ€" grams connected with it show. First, we have the telegram of Sir John Macdonald to Mr. Archibald as follows : Get Sir "George elected in your Province ~do «not however allow late Provisional ru‘ i sign in his favor." This despatch was dated 4th September, 1872, and between that time and the 13th a large number of telegrams of a similar nature passed be» tween the parties, the case being reépre». sented by both as very urgent, Mr. Clarke, who opposed Rul, and Riel hime self, both agreed to retire and aid retire in favor of Sir George, who, as#tis well known, was eleoted by acclamation. Mr.Archibald, | however, while detailing the ciroumâ€" | stances attending the negosciation for | the payment of money to Biel to secure his absence from the country, denies that he undertook that the Govern~ ment should be responsible for the repays ment of the £600 advanced by Mr. Smith ; but the following extract from private letter to that gentleman, da 80th of December, ;873, gives the mat protty much the same colour as Mr. Smith in his evidence gave it : «My Dear Mr. Suiru,â€"Your private letter of the 10th has enlightengd me on aeveral polats on which I am ill formed. I am truly astonished at one or $wo of the things you mention _ After all| that had taken place, L could hardly have believed it rowhlo that two of the tters you refer to coald have been left as they are. There can be no excuse for such neglect. Nobody knew better than 8i John, or admitted more unreservedly esgential service rendered to the Government in the steps takon to get them rid ot ga exscites ment which would have been found to be beyond their control at that and when friends stepped into the uu‘i‘ As~ S e L e d on LE E when friends stepped into the gap and as» sumed risks, they should not ve been left in that psition an instant longer than was absolutely necessary. mattor should have been arranged at| once, the more so that it was so often pressed. The same may be said of the compensation to the loyal French, which, to. my certain knowledge, was arranged for at the time I mentioned to you, 1 bad assumed that both these matters had been adisposed of long ago. It is really unpardonable."‘ ~ Srz,â€"Report gains confidence toâ€"day iaut the Gevernment have confirmed the grant to the public, of opening a new street to the east of Major‘s Hill, parallel with Sussex street.

He hits the nail on the head in & phin‘workmlih, honest, common~ sense fashion, which drives it in at every blow. For years he has been an advocate of unrestricted trade, and knows the advantages which Canada must derive from a fair interchange of products with the United States. He represents a constitu« ency in which there are large manufactur« ing interests, but doesn‘t allow that fact to Jistort his vision. We like the ring of his letter. There is a manly tome in it which does one good to hear, and we ho that the press will les it be heard t.hmF out the length and breadth of the land." This closes Mr. Archibald‘s evidence, We accept the testimony in favour of | , the member for South Untaaio. We only | , demur (just the littlest bit ) to the irrev. | , erent way in which we are told to read | , what ‘ol1‘ Malpoim says. It.is a bluff P bearty way of saying a thing good naturâ€" | . edly, but South Ontario is very proud of | its rr(pmonutivo ; his constituents enterâ€" | tain‘for him a deep and sincere respeot, | ; and they will not have him called ‘ord | Malcolm‘ in that flippant sort of way. If our contemporary were to see the same ‘Vid Coon‘, (thereâ€"we are falling into the vulgarity ourselves). were he to see Mr. Cameron going among his constituents from day to day, attending at every public gathering and making the neatest of speeches, and just now, as the Prrsident of the Ontario Central Railway, hm- declaration from Whitby and ad & a series of meetings night after njfhs througbout the route of the pror:od line of railway, it would no: Jonger # old" ‘ Cameron, or * old" Malcolm in the mouth of the * Express." _ Hon. Mr. Cameron, our contemporary will be pleased to learn, is vigorous and hearty, is making hosts of friends in the Riding and never loses an opportunity of making himself useful, or of turning an opponent into a friend, During | his short residence in the town of Whitby, â€" we are assured that Mr. Cameron has made | himsel? more popular than any member that ever nl?‘r:cmd this locality since | the days of r Perry.

The Anglo«American company have thoroughly overreachâ€" ed themselves, in their, selfish greed. They refused all compromise ; declared their intention of holding their monopoly to the last ; and now a righteous retribu« tion has overtaken thenm, At a single blow it is struck f.om their grasp. â€" They paughtily declined even to give an answer to our Goverr ment, when they made them the ofter of retaining their lines on condiâ€" tion of resigning the monopoly, Now they are on their knee# at the Colonial office, praying Lord Carnavon to veto this act. it is pretty significant to find that since the passing of this act, Mr.Uyrus Field has sold out.of the Angloâ€"Amerioan. _He knows well thit the monopoly is ended, and that the days of : 25 per cent. divi« dends are gone, A powerful rival <hs | entered the field untrammelled with: heavy expenditure and immense cap of the Angloâ€"American, much of which is uselessly sunk; and uh;ng‘h-m and dividonds will be reduced.
