DOMINION PARIMIINT. Mr. Gironard Mid it WH his painful doty to move the adoption of the report of the Privileges and Election* Committee on the charged which had been made by the mem- ber lor South Oxford (Sir Hichard Cart wright) i^amst the member (or Lincoln (Mr. Rykerl). The committee bad Riven tile matter careful consideration, and there- fore diacuaeion was unnecessary. He hoped the report would be adopted by a silent and unanimous vote. He moved the adoption of the report. Mr. Mulocksaid he aid not wish to dis- cuss the report except to emphasize one or two points. Ho wished to congratulate the Government upon the fact that one member of the Cabinet, whose name bad been mentioned m this correspondence, bad been completely exonerated. Lie was also pleaded to ate ibat other public men out- side the House, who had not ba i the op- opportunity of defending themselves, had been shown to be free from blame. Mr. Casgrain pointed out that tin case was atiLlf-,Doo against the cigLiiy 01 Par- liament. !!< thought it should lead the Government to introduce a measure which would wipe out this temptation, by enact- tug that 110 member should directly or indirectly receive favors from the Govern- ment. The report was adopted unanimously. Mr. McNeil moved the adoption of the report of the special committee on the Bremner furs. Mr. Blake aaid there was a serious ques- tion involved in this motion. The matter winch formed the subject of this report had been brought np before tbe liousu (or sev- eral years past, and tbe Government had beau called upon many times to act. I'pon one occasion the Government acknowledged it was their duty to act, but iheru was not tba slightest looioatiou that they had acted. lie tboagbt the Government should say what they had dote aud what tee result of their action was. Tbe evidence taken in this case bhowed that there had been grievous act of misconduct and impropriety on the part of an officer, ami that there had been grievous wrong doue to a Canadian snbjuot. When this matter wan rclurrud to tbe cummittce it was rumored that it might be accommo- dated in uouie way. It was suggested that recompense might be paid, aud ihu HUJU of 33,500 wad mentioned. This eum was to be paid out of the pockets of toe people of this Dominion, ibis money should be paid by tbe man who bad done thu wrong. I'arhauieut should not indemnify either m reputation cr m pookot any person who had done wrung, but he sbouid bear tbe consequences. Gen. Midjltitou had re- orived Honors and rewards, and should now receive any censure that was due him. The articles of war were strongly condemna- tory i. f such a proceeding as the present one. The seizure of goods was a military crime. \Vas the CoaimaLdeT- m Chief, he askud, exempt (roin those orders '.' Was be j isti- ned iti doiog after thu reDellion what he told tbe common soldiers uot to do in the heat of battle '.' It seemed to him that this was utterly diugraoeful. Uu could not understand bow it was possible that any mau lu tbe pobinou in winch Gen. Middle- ton stood cuuid ever (01 au instant faavo so far confused bis moral sense an to have been guilty of ilu act o( wbich hn had beou. It was said that tbe plunderer had been plundered, that tho goods when laktm from Ureuiii'T wore- afterwards taken Irom him elf. H-J buppocud that those who did take them had as much right to tbeni an Gen. Uidoloton. That, bowuvur, made uo dif- ference. The course pursued by the Gen- eral was a dugracuful ouo. He hoped the Government would ate that the General pail the loss and withdrew from the scrviou. (Loud applause.) Sir Adolpbe Caron aaid ho desirc/1 to deal with the mutter in the most op >n nd most frank way possible, lie oousnlureil the action of the General waj the result of a most unfortunate error of judgment on his part. (Hear, hear.) It was slated in the report, and tbe General r iinsulf, alter ob taming information which unfortunately be did a n possess at that time, had dia covered thu tact tbat ha had committed an illegal art, and nobudy regretved it more than the General himself. Uu (Sir Adolpho Caron) had beard tho General express the deep regret which bo to-day experiencec that such an ordur nhonld have been givei by him. It was fur ttieui to bo impartial anil just in dealing with this <i'iwtiou, anc it was only Uir that they sbouid rumumbei the services tbat Gun. Middluton bat rendered to Canada. It must be remeni bored at tbe time tbeorder was given tbe General wad in a preoccupied stale of mind which to a certam exteut mignt possibly account (or thu want uf prudence wbich be displayed. Liu repeated Ibav hu could nol forgit tnu tervicea the General had reuderti to Canada, aud be tnougbt they should how that (air play and leniency which ho considered, under the circumstances. Gen Middlituii was entitled to. Mr. Lister argued tbat Gen. Middletou hoiild bo held responsible for all the furs because if be had observed the duty he owed to himself as a general and as aa honest man, be would not have been tbe tirst to despoil Brumner of bis fura and give orders for them to be scattered about among tbe members uf his staff. Gcu Muldlelon waited livu loug years before indicating his willingness to settle (or any of the furs taken. He rtptidly dtniud that tie livi lkua any [onion of them, or knew anything about their disposition. It was only in the investigation of tbe com mitluu tbat Gun. Middle-ton uvmoed that bo knew anything of Uu mattur. It was only (or tbe Bake ol unanimity that Gen. Mid dletou, in thu report, was trtated with tho ulino-t consideration. Tbo report might have been much more severe tnat it was, It WAJ sid tbat Gen. Middlutou com mitted this aut through au erior ol judgment. In bis Ittter to Uayter Keed, however, ho asked tht the disposal of tbe goods should not be made public. He aaked if tbia wag not proof that be knew be was doing a wrong lul aot. It was absurd for the Minister 01 Militia to say thai a gentleman wlio had bton (or forty odd years in tbe Bmisb army did uot know he wai violating the army regulatioua. Brumuer, through his despoliation, was broken oown in health and livuig in paverty.and yet the Minister of Militia asked that they should i viusu den. Middleton. It was an incredible thing that a gentleman in tbe position o Oen. Mid"luon should have BO far forgot ten tbe yutea'a regulation* and shown urauelf destitute of the common feelings >f humanity as to despoil a poor individual ike Bremuer of his property. Gen. Mid- dleton's usefulness had gone, and it waa he duty of the Government to intimate to lim bis services were DO longer required. Saving been guilty of tbe aot he had, ab- solute fall justice sbouid be meted out lo lim, no matter what tbe consequence* might be. Sir John Macdonald said the discaeaion on the matter should have been left to the member for West Durham who had made a careful examination into tho subject, and whose remarki were certainly delivered in a spirit ofjuHtice. He did not think that tbe hen. member for East Lambtou was justified in making tlu- statement that tbe report was a oomprcmipe, and might have been more severe. He thought it waa an aspersion upon tbe committee, who had preeentt d a nnanimoo* report. Sir Fred Middleto.n was an officer of treat xperience in Chtn* and in India, aud ie. r, was a good deal of practical cobn^cauun done in those countries during tin wr. However, General Middleton was decidci ly wrong iu this respect. The bon. m< inbur tor Webt Durham had proved beyond a doubt, if proof were required, tbat Gen. Middleton a conduct deserved condemna- tion and in as strong language aa might well be used. There was no doubt the General had acted wrongly and illegally. Tbe confiscation was an error of judgment, and the appropriation cf goode, it awmed to him, wax illegal and improper >u,d could not bo defended upon tbe aamu grounds. 3e thought the report ought to be adopted by the House. Mr. Mitchell aaid there should be no difference made in this caae tban there would be iu dealing with thu case of the meanest private in the service. One thing was clear, the Generil got the (ura. Mr. Kukyainik No. Mr. Mitchell They were pat on board ihe steamer ou which he \v\e. We only have bis statement that ho did not get them. If a burglar, after taking tbe swag, sees a policeman aud drops the stint, that ia no excuse. He contended it was tho dnty of tb Government to compel Gen. Middletcn to refund tbe money, to dis- miss him, aud report him to the Uorao Guards. Sir John Maodonald sid there had been no attempt at palliation. He had r, mended tno lloiiee to pi 'H the severest con- demnation on Gn. ili'idleton'a conduct. Tbe Government could uot have taken any action until tbid report was psed upon iy the House, and when tbat report was mown it wonln be fjr them to consider what they should do. Tbe motion wis cariied unanimously. Mr. Daly introduced a bill re<>pucting the Winnipeg .v Hudson Bay Kail way. The bill provided tbat the time for completion sbouid be extended till Jim... IH'JG. Mr. Ueaatn introduced a bill to extend the time for ilu completion of tba Qu'- Appelle ,v Woud Mountain Railway for three years. He aaid tbis waa neoetsary on account of expectations tbat bad cot been rtali/..-u. Mr. Baia (Wentwortbi took exception to bills being introduced at tbia late stage of ihu session. Mr. Barron called attention to the letters which appeared in l.r Cattndirn bearing upon thu MiGreevy scandal, wbich pur- ported to show tbat the member for (jus- bee Webt (Mr. MiGnevv) had been able to acquire luforn.ation from thu Publi Worka Department which enabled him to get lower tenderers to withdraw in order tbit ihe tender cf Cunmlly .v Larkin might be accepted. Sir Hector Langevin sail bu knew noth- ing about the matter whatever. Mr. I aurn r deuied the allegations which /.. I'lin-itiirn had made against tbe Liberal party. As far *a they were concerned they courted the (nlleat investigation. II it waa not BO lato in tho seasiou he woul.i aek tho House to inquire into the matter Mr. lilaku said these revelations were be- coming more interesting, and afforded ample warrant for tbo view of ilium tbat was taken by the member for N >rth Victoria (Mr. Barron). Uu was surprised thai the Minister of Public Works had uot hoard ol tbia before, aod hoped tbat he would now maku a thorough inquiry. It waa clear information was acquired in advance aa to wbo wrti the ioeat tenderers. There must have been some complicity on the. part of the oflioers, and tbis should be inquired into.

The House assembled today at 11 'ulook, when bills received from theKuiato were taken np and considered and amend- ments made to them concurred in. In reply to Mr. Mitchell, Sir John aaid hat tba fishery question at Washington was progreesicg satisfactorily. He received a despatch to-day, bat it was not explana- lory enough, and be asked that it be r- H-attd. Mr. Topper, be said, had been tangeroualy ill there, and was now on bis way home. He \v<ta elowly recovi-ruu. 1 . A diHcupBion look plaxt on me linmner Sir John promised that the Sir John Macdonald stated that a com- pany waa formed to build tbia road entitled tbe Ottawa & Waddi.-iglon Kail way Com piny, but be believed the Govern- mtnt had bin n advised that tho charter ci thia company had expired. Under those circumstances it was decided that the sub aidy should be given for a railway fr.ni Ottawa to Morn, burg, leaving the |u. lion of whether tbe charter of the ttrsi company waa still in exialenou to bo dtcidei in a legal way. Mr. Itlakt- condemned the connection o Mr. Ilkkey with the Ottawa .v Morritibnrg Railway, aud gave dootimcntBry evidenct going to show that Mr. Hickey had endeav ored to sell out tbe oharttr of the road, an. tbat no elf in was made to proceed with it construction. Mr. Mickey denied the charges, and eai, every effort was made to construct the road Sir John Macdonald moved thu grant o V24.0CO to the Fcntiao Pacific Jnnctioi Kailwsy Company, for 7J milen of road from Hull toAylmer.
