To anyone who attentively watches the actions of the Ottawa Government. and those who support it, it is pretty clear, | whether he be Refertmer-or Conservative, that the interests of the whole country would be better served by a change of Government *' | travagatce of the present Government, A review of 'a féw of the | -------- RS, I Cs UNTAKIU KEFUOKMEK, JSHAWA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 15/3 ! cause they "elp to keep our rulers at Ot- tawa in power. The recklessness and ex- | the bribery and corruption dusing the | general election used by them, their mode | of dealing with the Pacific "Railway, and | giving such représentation to Manitoba and British 'Columbia, and their general administration of the affairs of this country warrant us in asking this question regard- ing the Northern Railway Bill; ncr would we be at all surprised to find this scheme was concocted, to enrich a few persons at the expensd of the people. . TE -- N~__~ SUBSERVANOY. When the Premier boasts of having the House so under his ovntrol and influence as to publicity, boast of having secured | another five years leass of power in 'the | face of the most scandlous and scathing exposures that any of his predecessors ever had to endure, it is a startling exhi. bition of the degrading servitude to which = 0 oan through the influence of party be sibjected. The ounetitution which every honest, Joyal and patriotic man should hold saved, and whose rights and inte- rosts it was supposed to pritect and de- fend, to see, that instrament openly and shamofully stat defiunes and trostol as 50 much waste paper, was a depth suffi- ciently low to be reached in this day and age, one would have supposed. Bat no, we see it was not, we had not yet touched the bettom, we think the bottom must now | be found when men ocoupy. the first posi- | tions of state and to whom are committed the most impotant trusts that it is in the | power of a free people to bestow, when such content themselves to lay under the | charge-isvolving their personal honour t5 the extent that the charge in commection SIR JOHN'S GUILT. If any further evidence was mecessary to satisfy tho most sceptical as to Sir John's guilt the Pacific Railway Scanfile, 'ft is supplied by the incidents in the House on the 15th inst., which gave rise to 'the following re- rt. Pe After one or two unimportant matters had been disposodl of, Mr. Huntington rose and allud'ng to the delay the House had sanctioned in regard to the investiga | tions of the Pacific Railway Committee, | said he had already experienced some of the difficulties and embarrassments he had predicted would follow the denial of his demand for an immediate enquiry. He had bécome possessed of the copies of original documents which would furnish? the" most conclusive proof of the truth of his allegationf, but the original were at present in the hands of a trustee, and he had reason to believe that if time in re- ceiving them were lost this waluable testimony would pass beyond 'the reach of the House. - Ho would therefore state so much of the contents of the docu- ments in question as would justify the motion - with which he was about to con- clude his remarks. At this point the Speaker 'interposed, and suggested, without venturing so to decide, that the 'course taken by Mr. Huntington was out of order, as the whole matter had been rbferred to a Com- mittee, "Mr. Huntington was about to proceed, when Sir John Macdoyald rose, and in a very earnest r protested against any disclosures being made in the House. Mr. Holt m reminded the Premier that the Committee had, by order of the Touse, adjourned tothe 2nd of July, and leading poritions, the present men ib | with the Pacilic Railway scandal, we | therefore it was impossible for r+ Hun- power is sufficient to convince anyone, not utterly blinded by prejudice, that the ac- cession of cther men to office would be a benefit to the country. " Take tho position of the Government towards the public offices of the country. Lhe civil services in Ottawa is over crowd- ed with a useless swarm of clerks in every depdirtment® In every room you enter there ire lounging, listless, lazy young men for whom there is nothing to do, and | whose chief care is to kill time until the clock strikes fonr, when they scatter over | the city to eke ont a miserable existerice on the small salaries they get. Inefliciency is the order of the day, lack of energy, of promptitude, of® business despatch per- | vades the whole service, and when the | heads of departments, under the Ministers | speak their real sentiments, they do not hesitate to say, if the work of their re- spective offices were let to them for a given sum it would be dome with one third the present staff, done 'much better with promptitude and at a less cost to the * pountry and better rennmeration to those When | who did the work. How is this r a minister is so long in power, as 8ir John McDonglid has been, i: becomes almost a necessity tog vern by means of corruption. MW ien » miuister frst assumes office the | the office seekers who can claim favors | from him are but few, because the whole country returned sufficient members of Parliament to give him his majority, and he is therefore iot.beholding ta many in- | Gividnals throughout the land for the po- sition he vecupics. This state of affuirs enables him to appoint to office men for their fitness for it, not because of services | rencer d. Bat, as he continues to for a long period to rule, his. Government has to pass through many struggles for exist- ance, and it is then frvors begin to be eall- | ed by those whose votes hold ghe balance of power they are granted and he livesa | minister. . Another and another struggle and other and increasing demands granted | and so the ball rolls on, tise ranks of the | © stand and deliver army ever recruiting until the whole mass is Jevened. I-spreads from individuals to circles, from themto'con stituencies,and arrived, there the tendency is to corrupt both the adherents and oppo- nents of the Government during elections. * This is the present state of the country as every candid individual must confess. The member of Parliament wants a place for his young friend he is pushed into the Pott Office department where here are t00 many now and he draws his salary-- he bribe. A chief sipporter of a member of Parliament wants a place for'his young friend and he asks the member to find one. The mengber sees an election coming, an is aware of the consequence if he says no. He again applies to the minister with the additional argument, if I don't favor my chief supporter my seat is lost, and my vote in the House islost to you. The young friend is of course provided for, and he is ushered into the Public Works de- partment where perhaps a score or two are already employed doing nothing, and that have formed their way in through similar pressure. Such is the actual state of the public departments this day at Ottawa, | and a change of Government would sweep them clear of all these efengibrances, save - money to the country, and ensore at last | for years, efficiency. .But the petty salaries of the Ottawa officials are as a drop in the bucket com- pared to the sums destined for the man of the larger comorants who feed on the coun- | 4ry tl zrugh John A.'s rule. It is but a few days ago a Bili was introdaced into Parliament at the instance of Mr. Cumber- laud, the manager of the Northern Rail- way, and also a chief supporter of John A. in the House of Commons. this Bill in short was to cat down the debt that road owed-to the country from £3,- 000,900 to $300,000 and the debt due To- routo sud the County of Simcoe from $400,000 to $20,000. This was to be done on the plea that the Road could not pay its debts and this was so near bLgirg ac complished that the Bill had alrcady been introduced into the Hovse of Commons. The Torouto Globe published the annual riitements of the rvad itself which shewed its solvency was beyond a dosbt aud that | it was able to pay every cent of its debts. It was impessible to go on with the Bill af*er the Globe article and +it was hastily withdrawn, and for the present the cash wis saved to the people of the eountry. New it is a curious enquiry, seeing the road is perfectly able to pay its debts tv "the last cent, who would have made the money #0 taken from the tax payers of this country, who holds the boud: and stock -of the road. Could it be that a few, say Mr. Cumberland and seme other support ers of Sir Jobn McDonald, secured the in- _debtedness and stock of the oad, so that when the cash left the pockets of the yen- of .it would drop lt be- an The obj ct of think that the bottom must be reached at | last. No plummet could sound a greater | | depth of political infamy than is contained in Mr. Huntington's charge, and yet | ministers shew anmistakable evidence of | guilt by interpesing every vonesivable ob- | stacle to prevent a prompt 'nd fait inves- | tigation into this most damaging charge, and one under which rio ionest man would for one moment longer than possible. lay ; make a grave accusation reflecting upon the personal character of any ordinary | passer by on the street, and see how quick { he will compel you to retract or make | good your charge, how much more prompt i should men' hold'ng the first and mest honorable positions in the power of their fellows to grant, be to clear their charac' ters of every stain, had they done this, if innocent, they would have the advantage | of hranding their accusers as libelers and | slanderers not to be believed, and would ha' e appeared before the world as martyrs { to upright dealing instend of as now | evidencing their guilt by staving off an en- { quiry into one of the most damaging charges ever preferred against men | ocenpying their positions, 'and of which by their own course th»y stand condemned. . How different is this to the course pursued by Hon. Mr. Blake when, during his reign as Premier in Toronto, some charges were made reflect- {ing np. him in connection with the re- | tirement of Hon, Mr. Wood as treasurer, under thio late Sandfeld Macdonald G..¥- "ernment. i ' . + try to stave off inquiry into the charge against him ? no, the reverse of this was | the case, says he *' my character as a pub- | not lay under such a charge as this. "If 1 | am guilty of what you charge me with, I aw not fit to sit any longer in this House" he says to his acciser, you shall have. a | your hearts content, and upon that com- mittee, he says to the leader of the Oppo- | sition, youn shall have an equal number of yonr friends to mine, thus feeling confi lent of his innocence he cheerfully submitted { you see the difference between one who | feels his innocence and ome who feels | keenly his guilt, and is afraid to sub- { mit to a fair and henest investigation, t Again, mark the differefice between these | men, Mr. Blake challengns investigation, j while'Sir John shirks it by every means | in his power, but when hie cotld no longer | resist, look at the composition of the com- | mittees. Mr. Blake granting eqrality, | while Sir John insisted upon haviag three | of the ablest lawyers on his side of the House to two of the Opposition, this is | another striking evidence of guilt, His | whole conduct throughout this business | from first to last bas been that of a guilty | man. Many persons in the outset, when | Mr. Huntington moved for a committee, ! scouted the charge as a malicious inven- tion against the Government, who now by | i*s actions are constrained to admit their | probable guilt, and yet with a charge that | none but the most abandoned to all feel- | ing to self-respect would for a moment thiuk of laying under a majority whose seats it may be were secured by tha use of tuis money are the subservant tools who | at the command of the Premier stood up and by that act declared that no investiga- tion irto this matter should take place, but when an outraged public begin to speak out in tones of thunder the faithful were ordered to, further degrade them. | selves by being told that they mast vote for an investigation into this matter, and they of course at once obeyed this com mand. Ths is & fair sample of - the inde- pendence of the present Legislature, and is it any wonder that this should be so if | it was purchased with Yankee gold. If this is the way the franchise is to be used farewell to purity of election when votes can be bought and sold like beasts in the market place. It is strange that men oc- cupying bigh social positions and high- | ly esteemed by their fellows should sink iuto the most debasing and abject servi- tnde as soon as they set foot into Parlia- ment and are prepared to undergo any amount of howillistion so that their | leaders should be sustained, apparently | forgetting that they possess such a thing as u mind of their own, or that they have judgment upon which they should aet,but like a piece of hinery to be operated upon at he will of their leaders. With a me jority of such instruments as these in his hands, Sir John has all the power of én Emperor whose will 1s law.

He also reminded the Honse of the gross | personal attacks made on Mr. Huntington; by SirJohn Macdonald and his organs! and claimed that Mr. Huntington had the right to male sny statements that would show his bona fides, and refute the slan- | ders levelled at him. [ Mr. Mackenzie urged that Mr. Hunting- ton had a most nndoubted right to be | heard, if only in Fis own justification. | Sir John Macdonald declared he was quite" willing to asserit 'to any motion for | the mssembling of the Committee and re- [¢eiving and impounding any documents | that might be forthcoming. | Mr. Huntington said this to a certain | extent altered his position. He then | alluded to the gross assaults made by the Premier on his (Mr. Huntington's) person { al character and social position, and a'so | contrasted the imputations then made { upon his honour and credibility with the Isudden and unexpected declaration of a | wilingness to accept any motion he might bring forward, so long as the 'evidence might be withheld from the House. should claim the right to rezd the doct- | ments notwithstanding. He was pro- ceeding to read one of the letters, when Sir John A. Macdonald again rose, and in an imploring manner besonglt the Honse to give its protection to the Gov- ernment and refuse to allow the dis- clusnras to proceed. Mr. Canchon argued that there was no point of order pe. ore the chair, and that Mr. Huntington had an undoubted ight to proceed. The Speaker, after first announcing that he was not quits' satisfied on the | point, concluded his remarks by ruling | that Mr. Huntington ip reading the docu- | ments was out of order. Mr. Huntiogten then continued his speech. After making reference to his personal connection with the investigation the Honse had undertaken to carry on, he proceeded to declare he was informed, and he believed, that the original papers were in the hands of a trustee under such cir- | cumstances that there was rea-on to be- | Tieve they would bo beyond the resch: ef the Committee when it met on the 2nd of {July next. He should conclude by a | motion for the Committee to meet at 11 | o'clock to-morrow to summon the said trustee with the papers in order that they mighy be placed in safe keeping. He i would state for the information of the | House the letters contaimed evidence | that, wnting to his associates, in the pro- | motion of the Pacific Railway, 8ir Hugh | Allan had represented to them that he | had secured from the Government . for certain momentary considerations the grant to him of the Canadian Pacific | Railway, that he expect:d within a few days the contract would be signed, and he | represented also that he had already. ex- | pended at one time £200,000, and at other | times sums amounting, with the ome already named, in the aggregate to $360, 000, to be expendedsin the elections of Ministers and their friends. He was pre- vetted by the ruling of the Chair from reading the letters which showed how Sir Hugh Allan had secured the French mem- bers, the press, the priests, 'and young members of the var, and finally obtained the influence by which he had obtained the charter' but- he felt the statements he had made were due himself. ee---- AGRICULTURAL D! This affair promises to be one of unusual interest, judging fronegglie sentiments we have heard respecting it, we have not yet wet with a single individual who does not cordially and favorably approve of {he pro. ject, and if properly conducted as we have no doubt it will it cannot but be productive of the most beneficial results bringing to- gether as it will a large number of promi- nent agriculturists and manufacturers to dis~uss matters of supreme important to each in their respective spheres and will thus be the means of spreading a great amount of valuable information, there is some anxiety as to whether there will be sufficient room to accomedate all who desire to attend. In this connection we may say the music hall is lange, and in every way suited to the occasion, but we think its capacity will be tested to the utmost to accomodate the vast multitudes that propose to attend.

"| The Delay of the Government. We clip the following from the Mint 1 1 {#ss, which has hitherto been a pi supporter of the Government in their Pacific Railway Policy, as showing the tendency of pubic feeling in reference' to their cowardly course in delaying in- vestigution into what Appears to be a wholesale schemas of bribery &nd porrnp- tion = We observe that statements are going the round of the American press in regard | to the chdrges against the Government in connection with the Pacific R. B. con- tract and it is broadly stated that $366,000 was paid to the Government by the parties thereto, to help it in #he'late elections. Of course this is made up out of the spe- eches in. Parliament, and is at present merely hypothetical, but it seems a pity the Government do not manifest somo degree of anxiety, if these charges aro un- founded, to put them at rest forever by instant investigati Instead of doing so, they seom to 'be staving off enquiry as long as possible. It seems Mr. Starnes, of this sity is the dispositary of the papers which # is said throw light on this bribery charge. Why not have them enquired into at once, and have the matter settled ? Even if the charges against the Govern- ment were proven more or less true, it could hardly damage them more than the present thatis d ing against them. Our Pacific Railway scheme begins to wear an unfortunate look amidst all this confusion, and appesrs in anger of be- ing slain in the house of its friends. A -E --.TE-------------------- THE CATTLE TRADE. This trade, like all others, is subjected to changes and uncertaintivs ; previous to this year there has been at this season of the year an extremely 'limited supply of beef, but this season has witnessed an en- tire change in this respect. The price of beef is as low now as it was in January. There has been a variety of causes to pro- duce this unusual state of things, one. is that farmers of late have overdone the heef prodacing business; another is the limited area this country offers for mar- keting fat stock. Montreal and Toronto being about the only points where stock can Be marketed to advantage, and an over- pressure upon the market at these points, creates a glut, and causes prices to rapidly decline. So you see cattle that are bonght cheap at their stables may be dear when they arrive at market, and vice versa. These sudden changes make the business® of droving a very uncertain one; there is al- ways mare er less risk in the tramporta- tion of stack, which is seldom taken in ac- connt by drovers for the 1eason, that farmers see the market quotations and are not inclined to take less, thus no provision made for bruised or damaged stock which very frequently happens. This season the rate of exchange has been such as to com- pletely shot obit American buyers, who | pros | There is said to be 13,000 head of distillery | they will begin to he placed upea the market this week, and in view of this {lage mumber yet to go forward, makes | dealers very cautions in their purchases.

The pro- | gramme was unusually large, and but for one or two disappointments would have been carried out to the letter. We are sorry te say that Mr. Wilmot, a vocalist of note, of Toronto, was unable t) be present. Prof. White, who was pre- sent, was unable to take any part in the singing on account of a severe cold. * The songs * Forget me not," and * The Prayer of the Nations," by Miss Hillary, was sung in magnificent style and was loudly encored. 'The Nightingale," by Miss Drokovski, was given in a style not to be surpassed by the greatest female vocalists of the day. Miss Brokovski is a favorite before an Oshawa audience, and many who were enraptured by her singing on a former occasion were again delighted to hear her sweet voice. Her second song on the programme 'Waiting for the Tide" was received with ronnds of applause. We hope to have the pleasure of again hear. ing this highly talented vocalist. The songs given by Miss Poole and Mrs. White were well resoivéd. The songs " Molly Bawn" and *' How the gates came ad jar," were given by Mr. Wiloox, notwithstand- ing a cold with which the singer was tronll- ed, in capital style and were well received by the vast audience.

James Curts, of Westen, pre- siding elder of the Toronte District, M. B. Church, delivered a very fine address at the temperance meeting vn Sunday last. As a speaker he is very pleasing, and his statements were well received and apppe- ciated by the sudicnce. He dwelt on the prosperity of the temperance reform, hav- ing now enlisted on its side the greatest talent in the ministry and laity. He stated forcibiy the absolute meecksity of legal prohibition to save the youth of the coun- try--the tendency of the youmg men of the present age te the habit of iatemper- ance und gave illustrations of the most talouted having fallen victims to the dread- ful enemy, He dwelt on the evils of the license system, the easy access to free taps in Teronto and elsewhere, pictured tne downward career of the drunkard, drunken- ness finally becoming a disease and the fearfuluess of its. power on the physical and intellectual man, He sta'ed the bani- fits of temperance organizations and. that every chusch should be a temperance iety, every minister, every professing christiam a total abstainer. All should strive to do something for the temperance cause, and dd all things in the spirit of love and with a firm reljance on the as- sistance of God. His enti dd was { and favorably known in the neighbethood { of Brooklin, as a most efficient and thor- | ough tenther. " Rev. T.

A Govarrment Reverses. During the session just: over the Gov- ernment suffered the following reverses: -- 1. In.its attempt to give the petitioners against Mr. Wilkes, of Centre Toronto,an illegal advantage, it was defeated by a majority of four. 2. It attempted to deprive Mr Cockburn, the legally elected member for Muskoka, of his seat in the House, but was compalled by the House to submit to the views of the Opposition oun the matter, andallow Mr. Cockburn to be sworn in as mgmber. 3. It was defeated by a majority of thirty-five, when it s>ught to resist New Brunswick's just claims to have a School Law submitted to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Cotineil, for a decisive opini- on as to its constitutionality. 4. It was defeared in its attempt to give a pet printing centractor fifty per cent more than he had 'earned--was forced imto a comproenise that only gave him twenty-seven per cent more-than he had legally esrned, and dnly carried that by a majority of oac. : &. It was unable to agree on a policy as to the continuence of the Insolvency Law, and was forced into action in the matter by the House by an amendment to the motion to go into Committe on Supply. Such a motion is generally considered one of want of confidence, but~--the Govern- ment saved itself by a part of its members voting for the amendment to the Govern- ment's own orignal motion. 6. In 1872, Sir John Macdonald moved and carried the three months' hoist to Mr, Tremblay's - ballot bill. In 1873 . the House passed Mr. Tremblay's ballot billl, and compelled Sir John to incorporate it in his election bill. Th: election bill has been withdrawn, but-the ballot is fo ced on Sir John, and must be taken up by him as Government policy. 7. In 1872, Sir John Mcdonald moved and carried the six months' hoist to a bill providing that the elections, at any gen- eral election,be held on the same day. In 1873 Sir John was forced to include that provision in his own election bill. 8. In 1872, 'the Government voted against and defeated Mr. Mills' hilt for the abolition of Duel Representation. In 1873 the House mado that same bill law and the Government had to submit. 9. The Government wought to push through a job for the Northern R. R., but, fearing defeat, had to withdraw it. 10. The Goverment was pledged to se- cure Legislative sanction of the land cla Divistox V.--Ix Te 69.

This makes a very iderable list of failures for one session, and shows that, however recklessly bold the Government, has been in throwing away public funds to all sorta' of claimants as the price of Parliamentary support, its general policy meets with no favor from either the country or the isment.
