There were five bye-elections in the Province of Qunlwc last Wednesday, and in three of the four constituencies heard front the Reform candidates were Victorious, In Two Mountains the Con- servative candidate cirrit-d the day. but his former majority of 250 was re- duced to 34.

A Com- mission to enquire into and investigate thcconspiracy is to be appointed, and particul trs concerning it will be found in no rxtract from the Globe printed in another column. It is almost needless to say that the terrible exposure made so far has disgusted nil honourable men of" both political parties. and a general hopn is (-xpri-sscd that justice may be done and the guilty punished. Some few. we are sorry to say, attempt. to washing the Ontario (iovtrnmcnt, and advance the astounding theory that the rt-al conspirators are Mr. Mownt and his colleagues, who deliberately sent their ciiiissaries out “ in search of temp- tntion," as the London Free Press puts it, for the purpose of casting odiutn on the Opposition : but this counter accu- sation. born of' utter despair, will be contemptuously rejected as an insult to his understanding by every reader of tho evidence who is not. utterly blinded by party prejudice When Messrs Mc- Kim. Balfour and Dowling were “ ap- proached " as it is eupliuisticully term- cil. one of three courses was open to them; they could either have yielded to temptation, turned traitors to their Government and earned eternal infamy; they could have sent their temptch to the right about with fleas in their re- spective cars ; or they could have laid traps to catch them redâ€"handed.

It must he confessed that. to some slight extent Mr. Mowiit was re- sponsible for the conspiracy. which was beyond any doubt the direct. result of his refusal to " go." Ills opponents have all declared for ever so long that they couldn't enjoy any peace of mind until he went. and that. consequently. hc mun! go _: but still he was ohdurnlc and wouldn't. All sorts of' things were done during the late election contests to render his going an act of nCCcssity; but they all failed, and :it the opening of‘tlie late session he was able to rc~ mark cheerfully, “ Here we are again". to the great. satisfaction of his hosts of friends and admirers.

Apparantly they did not even iti- sist on the grant of a moderate sum to a desire to complete the construction of the railway its a wmk indispensably ne- cessary to the union of all the provinces. ‘ They had more than party reasons for a the course they took. for their refusal to l vote the required aid would have com- ipellcd the company to suspend opera tions. This would have left the railway without connection with the eastern or western worlds. 3 half finished project, and an entire failure as to accomplish log the object. for which it was begun. Their vote, large as the sums involved are, may not secure the completion of the line. but it should go far in that di- rcc‘ion ; should it not, there will be fur- ther aid sought which must be granted. as it would never do to leave the road unfinished, after the company spending fifty-five millions in cash and the value of twenty-five million acres of'lzind. over and above all the vast. sum:l paid for that part which the Government built. The construction of such an immense railway. and at such enormous cost. is certain to strain the finances of Canada for a long time to come; the aggre- gate of the debt she will owe by the time tlmtnll the costs of her present en. gagenicnts are settled, will be far more than the most sanguine of her statesmen can hope will be repaid in the next cen- tury, at the very least. The Ontario have acted in aiding the build- ing of the railway may not have been the wisest, nor to the advantage of their c: nstitucnls; but. it is unturnished by any act of bargain and sale between themselves and the Government. Thut odium they have escaped, but they can not rid themselves of the charge of' hav- ing incurred liabilities that are certain to prove a serious incutnbrnnce on the whole availnblc property in the prov- iricc. The gross amount added by their late votes will not. fall short of' twenty million dollars. They will of course say it is less, and that there is security for the thirty millions loaned to the Pacific Railway; but the security of a railway that cannot pay expenses is worthless; and, worse even than that. if' it has to be kept open it. will be a leaking tub through which the funds of the Dominion will vanish like melting snow. It. is a pity that our representa- tives cannot act irrespective of party politics, and a greater pity that they should sacrifice to party exigencies the future of the provicc whose interests they were elected to protect. That they have done to an extent which they will lyet regret. as deeply its the province itself. Somerville Council Proceedings.

In the House itself the galleries were. packed with spectators. but. on the floor of the House there were fewer ladies than at the opening ceremonies. The division lists have clearly shown that the administration and legislation of the Government has been such as to commend itself to the judgment of the House.

This being the case, the Government has the general support on the floor of the Iliiiise‘tii' 5.} out of tlie 8’1 members. or a clear majority of' Iiiâ€"which, neither plausibilitics nor bribes has sufiiced to weaken in their allegiance to duty. Almost the last business transacted by the House was the adoption by the House of' an Address asking the zip- pointmcnt of it Commission to enquire into and investigate the bribrry con‘ spiracy. The Commission is to be com- posed of three judges, one at least of whom is to be it judge of the Supreme Court of Judicature of Ontario. The Commission is to be appointed by the Government. and the powt‘rs conferred upon it are ample for the most. search- ing enquiry into the whole conspiracy. The Act. under which the commission is created in chap. 17 of the Revised Statutes of Ontario. " An Act respect- ing enquiries into public matters." This Act confers on the Cotmnifision the pow- er of “ Stiiiininning any party or-vvitucas, and requiring them to give evidence on oath, orally or in writing, and to, pro- duce such documents and things as such Commissioners deer.“ requisite to the full investigation of the writer into which they are appointed to examine." The Act. also states that the (liiiutiiissiori has i‘ the some power to enforce nttcnd~ ance. and to compel witnesses to give evidence and produce documents, as is vested in any court of lniv in civil cases." A sum of 820.000 bits Intuit voted to defray the exp-uses of the Commission. which is instructed to make the “ scorching investigation " which the gravity of this last. attempt at corruption demands. \._oâ€"â€"â€"-â€".-â€"â€"- A Good Measure. ‘v'v'Arinsnros.

THE SETTLEB. WASHINGTON. March 24th.-â€"-â€"Uuitcd Stairs Deputy Surveyor Fulrchihl. in a further report, says: “ The whole of North-western Nebraska is occupied and rim by capitalists engaged in cattle raising. They have hundreds of miles of wire fence constructed. and enclose ”1 till desirable binds. Notices posted at intervals say that the man who opens the fence had better look out. for his scalp. Persons going there to settle nre notified that the runchmen will freeze them out. They will not employ a man who settles on or claims land. and Ilt‘ cannot get employment irom any cattle men in the whole country. There is wholesale destruction of valuable tim- ber on government Innd in this WIIDII‘ region by cattle men. who pretend to own it. There are acres after acres of bare stumps, which a short time ago wurc growing timber." A Bad xample. (From the Toronto News.) The evil influence of the example ol Sir Jnliu Mxicdomild is Conspictiously iiiuniit-sti-d by the revelations of tin- lcgislzitivc bribery plot. For nearly ii generation this man has been the object of ti species of political hero-worship on the part oi'the int-tubers of his party. To the young men just entering upon their political duties Sir John has been held up as the Ill‘flll ideal ofu patriot and ti statesman. The veterans of the party are never tired of laudinghis inr- siglitodncss, his nstutcncsa as a party manager, his cleverness in cxtricnting, himself from tight places, rind his cunâ€" . ning in subverting the schemes of his ' antagonists. To find a parallel to the blind unreztsouing belief in Sir John which exists iimnng a large section of the Tories of Ontnrio, we must go b-ck to the enthusiastic devotion of thi- Frcncb peasantry to the first Napoleon. or the pcr~istcncy with which the hard shell Democracy oi the rciiiotci: districts t-f'thc west kept on voting for Andrew Jackson for the presidency for yours of. tar his deathâ€"at least. so runs the legend. The first article of the Tory creed is that Sir John is infinitely wiser and more capable than any G'rit. that. ever lived. The cliicf‘ttiin's smnrtucss is the. grant boast of the party heelers. who chuckle with delighted appreciation over every. tricky manteuvrc and stroke ol'sharp praicti'cctoff his-long and tortu- ous career.
