Home Again. , Five of the members of the Midland battalion who have been on active ser- vice in the Northwest arrived here by l Friday evening's trainâ€"barely in time to have their return announced in the fewest possible words in this week's Gazelle. They are Messrs. E. A. Hall, George Jewell and George Peterbo, of l Fenclon Falls, L. McLean, of Fenelnn, l and Charles Lnttimorc, of Somerville.‘ John Lockhart was not on the train, as he had goltc to Bowinunville to visit some friends. They .'|ll look well and hearty notwithstanding the hardships they have undergone, and neither one of them has a wound to show. As it was not certainly knmvn that they would arrive, there was no demonstration in their honour, but. they had an enthusi~ astic reception in Lindsay on Tuesday night, and another in Bowmanvillo on Wednesday. The Scott Act in Victoria. The 23rd ofJuly, the day appointed for the submission of the Scott Act in the County of Victoria, has come and gone; and, although the returns from Some of the polling places have not yet l been received at the Falls, enough is l known to make it certain that the Act has been carried by a large majority. The campaign in this village was con- ducted with grout energy by the friends of prohibition, and it is unnecessary to add that the “ Antis," us the opponents of the Act are briefly called, did their best to secure the Continuance of the The lust. of several lec- turcs in favour of temperance was de- livert-d on Monday night in the Metho- dist church by Mrs. Susanne Evans , Peck, who is rt most pleasing and cffcct- ‘ ive speaker ; and on Wednesday even- ing Prof. Richardson. of Toronto, nd-l Act; but he made a poor hand at it, and his flimsy arguments were completeâ€" ly demolished by the Rev.

The “ Professor " replied to the best of his ability ; but, he was fighting in a. bad cause, and the l general impression is that he mntcrinlly ‘ injured it by the indiscrctions with l which his speech nbounded. } Thursday, polling day. passed off, very quietly, the workers on each side i doing their very best to secure votes, but in no single instance coming into collision with each other; and the Pros- byteriuus, Methodists, Bupti>ts and the Sulvntionists each held a prayer meet- ing of an hour's duration for the suc- cess of the Act. We believe it is no exaggeration to say that every woman ; in the village, whatever her social po- i sition, was opculy or secretly on the; right side, and many a one was heard expressing regret that she could not They gave their influence, _ however, and none can doubt that it5 ' told amazingly on the result of the con- test. Though it has always been looked upon its settled, even by the opponents of the Act, that it would carry in the' county. there was some little doubt as . to how Fem-Ion Falls would go, though ‘ astnrt‘l majority was hoped for, but we do not think that the most sanguine supporter of the me-ivntc ever antici- patcd that two thirds of the total uum-' ber of votes polled would be in favour of it, us actually proved to be the rise. The vote. 156, was a large one, only seven less than at the municipal elec- tion in January last, when all were got in that possibly ennui be: and it must be remembered that in this in-tance ' there were no outside votes, which are quite numerous in other elections. .

The trial of Louis Riel was com- menced at Regina on Monday last, but it is useless to predict when it will end. The defence, apart from the plea of in- sanity, which the accused is said to object to very strongly, will rest chiefly upon technical points, doubts being :Il ready raised as to whether the court before which he is arraigned is one of ,compctent jurisdiction. and whether Riel ought to be tried asa. rebellious subject of the Queen or as a foreign in- vader. The first. more of his counsel was to ask for an adjournment for a month, and affidavits were produced to show that less time would not. be suf- ficient to get such witnesses as would insure a fair trial, such as Dumont and Dumas from Montana, Messrs. Burgess and Vankoughnet from Ottawa, and medical testimony as to the prisoner’s unsounduess of mind. The prosecution objected to more than a week's adjourn- ment, and, as Judge Richardson sus- tained them, the counsel for the defence had to submit, although they argued their point as long as the Court would listen to them. It is alleged by Riel that he is not. a British subject, that his constant advice was to limit. the agitation to constitutional means and peaceful measures, that he tried to leave the country in February last but was prevented, and that. he did not partici- pate in any engagement or commit or countenance any overt act of treason ; and that all this can be proved if he be ' allowed time to procure the necessary witnesses. The prosecution objects to the protection of the Court being offered to Dumont, Dumas or other parties who participated in the rebellion, if brought here from the Stntes to give evidence in Kiel's behalf; but agreed to assist the defence in procuring witnesses in Canada. There is very little hope that Riel will be quickly disposed of; and no hope at all that. his sentence will be. commensurate with his crime. It. is of course scarcely possible that he can es- cape conviction on one or more of the counts in the indictment against him ; but, fortunately for himself, he has be- come a bone of contention between On tario and Quebec, and we all know which province is the most likely to have its wishes complied with by the present Dominion Government. A de- lsire to propitiate the “solid French vole " burns in the breasts of the lead- ers of both political parties, and, as it demands tenderness towards Riel, he is ' almost certain to be treated lenieutly. Should he, contrary to general expecta- tion, be sentenced to death, the sentence is sure to be commuted, and his Bleu friends will have a whispered, but none the lee-s emphatic, assurance that. he " shall be pardoned as soon as it can safe- ly be done. After all, no matter how light his punishment, there are others just as guilty as he who will escape without any penalty ; and we don‘t mean his co-conspirators who flitted across the border.

HUGH McDoqumn RUNAWAY.â€"Last Tuesday evening about 8 o'clock Mr. Wm. Power, of Verulnm, drove out of the Simpson House yard just as the Salvation Army passed, and his horses ran away. Some say it. was because he was “ putting on the string " too freely, and others be- cause they were frightened by the army‘s band; but. as they are more accustomed to the whip than to music. the latter probably started them. Af tcr nearly running on to the sidewalk on the west. side of Colbornc street, they galloped as far as the post office, which they appeared inclined to enter, but suddenly veered off and headed for the canal. If the affair had been seen by Prof. Richardson, who lectured here against the Scott Act. ncxt evening, he might have made a point by showing little crowd of persons who are useful in a. case of emergency. There was the usual knot. of loungers in front of the McArthur House, and they promptly rushed forward and grabbed the runn- way horses, which otherwise would probably have gone, Waggon and all, into the yawning chasm which crosses our main street. Money for Middleton. ( From (he 'l'nrnnln News.) Parliament has voted :1 grant. of $20,- 000 to Glen. Middleton as n compensa- tion for his services in the North-west. Without wishing to seem even in the slightest degree to disparage the value of Gen. Middleton's services, the News must condemn this vote as a matter of principle. Gen. Middleton receives a liberal salary as communder-iu-chicf of the Canadian forces. Why then should he recoivc Illli amount, simply bceause he was culled into action instead of be- ing merely an ornamental official. True. he risked his life in our defence, but that is a soldier's business. Our own volunteers look their lives in their hands and nmny of them were vtcr l that there is at. least one advantage about. hotels, and that is that. each one nearly always has around its door It ficed, but the rewards which they or their surviving relatives are entitled to receive are wretched pittances even in- . trinsicully, and much more in compari- son with this magnificent remuneration for a few months' rough work. The ex- ample of England in rewarding General \Volsclcy and others rmruificcntly for comparatively slight services can, of Course, be quoted, but. then the example of England in such matters is nearly al- ways wrong and misleading. England is an autocratic country, and! taxes and oppresscs her poorer classes in order to give extravagant salaries and pensions to all sorts of upper class officials and sinecurists. Gen. Middleton, in leading our troops to victory in the North-west and exposing his own life bravely, did nothing more than his duty as u profes- sional soldier. To give an extravagant reward in such n case is demoralizing. and tends to destroy the old-fashioned . notions of patriotism and duty for da- ty's sake. Still we are not surprised at, the government propming or the house l sanctioning the grant, simply becausel we have long since ceased to expect, them to take any other course than the wrong one. Apart from the question ot ’ l t principle, we are rather glad that Gen. t Middlet'm is to have the money, bc~ ! cause it leaves just so much less plunder , to be thrown to less worthy recipients. i - During a thunderstorm n few days since lightning struck down in n Geor- gin cotton field where there was not I tree uor stump nnywhcre around.

A SALVATION ARMY OFFICER ARRESTED I WHILE PBAYING 03 THE STREET. } LINDSAY, July 20.â€"â€"Lind51y is grant- ly excited over the arrest of Capt. T. Scott nod Lieut. J. Godfrey, of the Salvation Army, which occurred lut night. The Army were holding n knee drill in the centre of the main street about. eight o'clock. The officers were kneeling in the centre of the soldiers. A police oficer named Bell broke thro' the corps and dragged Captain Scott from his knees, and charged him with causing an obstrucrion. They were fol- Imved to the lock-up by the Salvation- . ists, who continued singing, also by an Enormous crowd of spectators. Another officer came out of the police office and arrested Lieut. J. Godfrey. Godfrey was relcused and Tom Scott pl.-ced in the cooler, where he sang with great gusto. A leading church member and John A. Nicholls, the temperance lcc turcr, waited on the Magistrate and went bail for Scott, who was afterwards received at. the barracks with tremen- dous volleys. The case is to be adjudi- cated before Police Magistrate O'Lenry on Friday. Radical Approvalof Gliidstone. It is evident that. Mr. Gladstone is to have the cordial support of the radical wing of the liberal party. In a recent number of London Truth Lubouchcre says: “ Great has been the chorus of flunky adulation that greeted the offer by her Majesty of a peerage to Mr. Gladstone. A title and zt garter were the rewards to which Mr. Disraeli us- pircd; but. what lustre would M r. Glad- stone gain by exchanging his name for that. of a town, by the prefix of a title, by the right to sit and vote in an assem- bly of hereditary landlords doomed to speedy extinction, by hearing himself culled “ my lord," or by wearing a bit of blue ribbon with a metal budge nt~ tthlIL‘d to it, like a prizu cow at. an ugri» cultural Show? When Mr. Pitt was made an earl he was congratulated by Mr. Pulteney upon having been kicked up stairs. When Mr. Pulteuoy was made a. peer he, according to Lord Stun- llope, “ sank into insignificunce and an eurldom." But our grand old man is not. made of the vulgar clay out of which curls and barons are manufactured. I have no doubt that it would please mn- ny that. he should “ sink into insignifi- cunce and an eall low." It Would please neither him nor the millions who look up to him. He did not become prime minister by the will of his sovereign, but by the will of his fellow-country- menl His reward is their gratitude and their affection, and he hits rightly declined the court geivguws, the offer of which was almost an insult to such a man.” â€"â€"â€"-â€"-«<-»o - oâ€"-â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" Pauper Immigrants. The Ottawa correspondent- of the To- ronto Globe. went over to Levis the other crowd of wretched foreign outcasts just lauded by permission of the Dominion Government, and this is what. he wrote about them :â€" Thrust out. of the steamer on her ar- rivnl, they were literally abandoned to their own resources, and the miserable- lno‘king creatures, men, women and chil- dren, many of the latter infants in terms, would have been compelled to sleep out all night on the edge of the wharf, and in danger of rolling ovur in- to the water, but for the pity taken up- on them by Mr. R. M. Yersce, the On- 't:trio Immigrant Agent, who managed to get them shelter in the immigrant shed at a late hour last night, and who humanely provided for their immediate wants in the way of food at. his'owu ex- pense. This morning they had to shift their quarters to the brow of the hill overlooking the railwfry station, and there your correspondent found them exposed to the hroiling su‘n’ and sur- rounded by a. crowd of gaping specta- tors. 1n conversation with one of the number who could speak a. little broken French, he learned from him than rho [tiny numbered in all same fifty souls, e that they were natives of Herzegovina and Greek Catholics, that they had spent a considerable time in France, supporting themselves by making woodâ€" on platters and exhibiting dancing bears, and that they were now hound they did not know where, but had some idea of bringing up in California, though they had not the remotest conception o? the distance, and hoped to get there on foot, probably by constituting themselves the same burthen to every community tlii‘o' which they pass as they actually 3'2“: to the charitable people of Levis, who, for the moment, are, with creditable hu-' manity, not allowing them to suffer frmn want of food or clothingâ€"many n? the poor little infants belonging to the par. ty, and some of whom were born on the passage, having landed literally naked.

It provides that. the government may advance to those tenants desirous of buying out the lands they till tlirce-limrths of the pur- chase money at an interest of four per cent. for forty nine years, five million pounds bt-iu: appropriated for the pur- pose. The. l’arnellites have declared in favor of this plan, and it is generally regarded as a satisfactory measure. There is one consideration, however, which bears strongly against its success, and that is that ever since the Irish lnnd agitation the price. of land has been steadily declining. There is no reason to believe that it has yet. touched bottom, :iud while this is the case ten- ants will not be apt to purchase at pres» ent figures. The competition of Amer- ican and Canadian wheat and other produce. which pays no rout naturally exercises a continually dcpres~ing influ- ence on old country land, and although there have alrtndy been considerable reductions, it is altogether probable that lund values will fall still lower.
