If anything farther were required to convince the electors that our Togislative halls aro largely packed long as the country would tolerate them, is now doing his best to embarrass the new Government not alone at home but striving to creato enmity against the country abroad, as well in Britain as in the United States. Of course his efforts to socure this will be about as succesful as his attempts to bolster up the with worthless material the late Fs .* exhibition which so many of our M. P's made of themselves on the mem- orable night of the 9th inst., would romove every doubt on that score.-- here is a crowd of about 200 men pretending to be engaged in the sol- emn work of legislating in the in- * terests of this vast Dominion, and to be representing an active, intelli-- gent, enterprising people.

Some foolish people in England feeling dissatisfied with the Canadian tariff have gone the absurd length of holding public meetings over it, and a body of men styling them- selves the "Huddersfield Chamber of Commerce" having we suppose no- thing olso to do amused themselves by passing the following resolution: « That, in view of the commercial policy fallen fortunes of the now defunct "economy ; ing on their desks by the title of attendance on parliament. What can they all do? a crowd of 206 men cannot all got a finger in the logis- lative pie, and with them as with all others who have got nothing to do some mischief always turns up,-- But on that wild night it would al- most appear as it pandemonium were let loose. The appearance of Mr, Anglinof govermental casual advantages noteriety who had twenty thousand good solid reasons for supporting the Mackenzie gov- ernment, this man's golting to bis feet at 2 o'clock a. m. was the sig: nal for a row bedlum was no match for. The uproar continued still the useless talker went on by the hour. One that was present writing to the Star says :-- « In the midst of the most uproarious laughter paper balls, blue books and soft material were flying over and across the chamber, those members who had settled themselves down for a sleep.in their chairs were being made the butt jor additional amusement, Mr. John Rochester had gottled himself back for anap, Mr. McCallum grasped the opportunity of decking the hon gentleman's head with a fool's cap about three feet high Immediately there were loud cries of Order," and hearty laughter from all parts of the chamber, but there the member for Carleton sat sleeping soundly utterly unconscious that he was being made THE BUTT: FOR ALL THE LAUGHTER. that was ringing through (he House, Other members were soon similarly decorated, and a scene of full enjoyment for those who arc wide enough awake was in full progress. -- As Mr. Anglin continued, he began referr- ing to the draw-back system. Shorlly after wards the members took up the cry and began shouting * Draw back ! draw back !" when the interruption of that character had continued for about ten minutes, Mr. Anglin appealed to the Speaker to request the mem- bers to preserve a little more order, Mr, Speaker rose, and coming solemnly forward, said, " I hope the honorable gentlemen will DRAW, BACK THEIR NOISE." This was received with hearty laughter from all parts of the Honso. Mr, Anglin con- > tinued. Four o'clock came and the noise only increased, Creaking of desks, slam- ing covers, pitching of blue books and cries of "question" continued apparently interminably, At half pust four Mr. Anglin resumed his seat, and the most uprorious shouts of "'question" were indulged in -- Bir Albert Smith moved the adjournment ot the debate, and tho motion was declared lost, 'I'he brder was finally given about five o'clock to call in the members." Had the number of members been timited to fifty or seventy five even, such scenes would be imposssible ; hon members would all have some- thing to do, proper order would be maintained throughout, legisla- tion would be vastly improved, it would be twice as well done, done in one half the time and in place of paying $206,000 every session in way of indemnity $50,000 would pay for all, and if tho indemnity were reduced to, say,8800 then $40,- 000 would pay the indemnity. Again we have 13 ministers and thirty or forty firat and second deputy heads of departments, ministers drawing salaries of seven and eight thousand dollars and deputies strutting round "with their salaries varying from one - fo three thousand dollars a year.-- Then wo have clerks, permanent clerks, sessional clerks by the _ hundred, messengers, attendants, pages, &c., in perfect legions swarm ing around tho dominion money * ohost or rather around the accum- ulated taxes of the people. * Whatever governmont holds the , whatever may be the meas- "ures introduced the people should "never allow themselves to be driven from their stand for the most rigid and no government, by name it may bo called , securely on tho treasury unless it makes slashing , and strict economy anks in its platform.-- the country can- adopted Ly Canada being practically pro- hibitive to the import of British manuact- ureg, the Council memoralize the House of Commons to appoint a select committee to consider the refations of the Mother Country with the Colonics, with the view of placing thie commercial relations on a more eatisfac- ory basis." In various parts of the country meetings have been Leld and resolutions passed draw- ing the attention of the Colonial Secretary to the several points of the Canadian tariff injurious to British trades. This resolution was sent by speci message to the Globe and by him sent abroad with the greatest possible unetion, just as if any one cared; in fact the action of these Huddersfieldites and the discomfort of the others who arv holding meet- ings are the strongest proofs that could be woll adduced in favor of Canadians sticking to their tariff. -- But if outsiders will fume "let them rip," for as the good natured pater- familias said ;--Let them go on, it pleases them and it don't hurt we." But as far as any effect their action may have they may as well protest against tho phases of the moon. Our trans-Atlantic fellow jects may as well possess their souls m patience all we ask is a fair field and no favor, we will give that and will take no less. Wo cis- Atlantic subjects are just vain enough to suppose, that we know about as well what is best for us as a peoplo as our trans-Atlantic neigh bors do, and if we happen to want their advice particularly we will let them know; but they must not suppose that wo want their inter- ference because the Globe gangs daft, howls for outside help and tries to get us into a serape we oor neebers. Dominion Parliament. sub IIon. mombers have been taking their Easter holidays, a play spell for a few anys; they were certainly not out of the need of it as well for past labor as ior future work. Without reference to tho details of the tariff yet to be got through there is an extravagant bill-ofefare wait ing action. The superannuation burlesque has got to be handled --it is a decided burlesque, why super: annuate and pension off men who have been receiving from the coun. try a full equivalent, we had almost said twice told, for ajl the services ever they rendered. Employed at easy, inexhuustive labor, short hours and $1,500, $2,000; and $3,000 a year, while hard toiling men, work- ing long hours at exhaustive labor, receive a few hundred dollars a year and if they do not provide for old age they may famish or beg. The wholo superannuation farce ought to bo wiped out at once. Tho Pacific Railway too will be up for further discussion. The Insolv- ency Bill will have to be grappled with. Letellier will bave to get another airing, that will be the time when he is asked "to step down and out." The Estimates too will have to be dealt with. Weights and Measures will most likely hang fire for a session, and tho Census will be put under way. One of two things is obvious in this connection, the bill must either bo shortened or hon, mombers will be lounging round the lobbies at Ot taws when the sun touches the sum- mer sulstice. The chances are, however, that the bill will be short- ened, and the boys get home before the Queen's birthday. -- A Source of Weakness.

Of course it shonld the battle ery, and they may now The New Tariff. stamp, no effort was to be spared in possible, prevent the country from getting any benefit from the new state of things. Sosoon as the new tariff saw tho light of day, the Globe led a crusade against it of the most untruthful, unscrnpulous char- acter. No effort was spared to bring it into disrepute at homo and to stir up the antagonism of out- siders.Thiscontinued from day today but so far from succeeding in their unpatriotic attempt, they in thoir fury overshot the mark, rendering themselves ridiculous by their abe surd contention. Their stupid ex- aggerations were only" laughed at, and on Thursday last when the vote was taken on tho tariff, out of a House of 189 members only 52 voted with Mr. Mackenzie against the tar iff. Had tho Globe und its cchoes been allowed to continue their rub- bish a couplo of weeks more ere the vote was taken, Mr. Mackenzie's backing would have likely been ro- duced to three-- Messrs, Mackenzie, Cartwright, Gilmour and Joe Ry mal. But in all conscierce 136 for the tariff and only 53 against it ought to teach tho forlorn hope the folley of the course they have been pursuing and that such a course will diminish their influence other matters. Organized deception no less than organized hypocrisy never fails to bring its own reward, The vote stood thus '-- ia For the Tariff, Against. 63 20 .43 15 Nova Scotia. 13 6 New Brunswic 5 10 British Columbia «6 0 P.E1.. . 4 1 Manitoba 2 1 136 53 It will bo seen that all the Pro vinces except New Bruuswick gave large majorities in favor of the tariff, nearly three to one. Of course there were 16 members who did not vole, there are always some stray sheep. North Ontario has no repro sentative in the House, law's snail like progress and perplexing un- certainty make it risky for one to hazard the opinion that we ever shall have one. Appeal Courts may ba all very good in their way, but they would certainly be more satis- factory if appeals could be decided within the century in which they are entered. ---------- Political Tramps.

Be -------- In the Right Direction. This Trent works transfer was doubtless another of Mr. Alex. Mackenzie's support generators, a desperate attempt: to stave off the down fall and political annihilation of his government. Of course the attempt did not succeed and the country bad cause to rejoice at the failure, but still the thing may be of some use after all, it may in fact be turned to good account. The at- tompted political fraud may yet serve a capital purpose ifit will only be the means of awakening the people to the absurdity of maintain ing, at large cost, the existenco of those wortless dams. canals and would-be lakes which serve no other purpose than to drown thousands of acros of otherwise valuable land while the continued existencce of these dubs and water holes only create disease and diminish the taxpaying powers of the county or township in which they are situated.

The exhibition was a complete success, at least for the lar cenian artist who made $36 by the feat, and the loser had contributed a mouth's pay for the encouragement of this fine art. It appears that Mr, Sweet, one of the drivers on the Road, received his- month's pay at that station on Monday last, placing it in the breast pocket of his overcoat, and hung the coat cn the wall in the Engine House.
