The matter was brought before the Domin'on Parliament on the 4th instant, and Hon. (O yes! very honorable) Mr. Tupper in place of going home or flee- ing the country for very shame had just brass énough to sap up and seek to divert attention from his own guilt by striving to inculpate others'; he said in effoct it was only a bribery race, that eome party in the Nova Scotian Legislature had offered $600 and he and his party thought they would outbid them and offered $700, not their own money, of course, but the hard earnings of the sobs of toil throughout the Dominion, The man to be purchased was to get a Dominion Government situation at $700 a year. Alter thatanything ! when a man--why, a man, did we say ? a whole team--a man and a balf--no less a person- age than Hon.

It is the merest nonsense for any farmer to say that he is indifferent about the fais, they are of little benefit to him. They are a decided bene- fit to him whether he is aware of it or not, inasmuch as they encourage the rearing of stock, establish fair market prices, and cause good substantial buyers to come around, from time to time, and thus offer regular opportunities to our farmers to «convert their surplus stock inte cash; and this keeping down the number of cattle keeps up the pricés and consequently all who raise cattle partake of the benefit ; and in the exact proportion as these fairs are encouraged and patronized by the farming community will the benefits deriv-- ed from them be greater or less. The greater ike quan'ity and the better the class of stock offered the more buyejs will attend aod the better prices will be re- alized. Besides these faics bave a certain tendency to improve the stock of the coun- try : perties bringing their cattle to the same market have an opportunity of com- paring their stock with those of others ; see where they ore deficient, and realize the pecuniary advantage of raising superior stock ; and thus be induced ty adopt a course which cannot fail to prove of very great advantage to them. BEED GRAIN, AND OTHER SEEDS. Next to the improvement of our stock, comes the improvement of our grains and seeds. It has been said, and well said, that he who makes two blades of grass grow where but one formerly grew, is a benefactor to mankind. With equal force may this be asserted of the man who, by superior cultivation and careful selection, 80 improves our grains and sceds, that our yield may be almost doubled. The next requisite in successful farming consists in a well selected stock of the most improved AGRCULTURAL IMPLEMENTS. } Though the soil may bethe best and the seed themost choice kinde, the maximum yield cannot be obtained 'withont proper cultivation, and those parties through whose skill and industry our agricultural imple- ments have been go vastly improved, have laid the country under a lasting obligation, on the country and its i This resolution put Sir George mad and after shamelessly seeking to belittle the crime of his confrere ho ordered all his fol- lowers and all Sir John's followers to vote 'down the resolution.

DRUNK BUT NOT DISORDERLY. At the meeting of the Toronto City Coun- cilon Monday evening last Ald. Hallam McNab, a batch of unscrupulous 1 have been basely seeking to corrupt his (Peter's) aged father.

He showed the falacy of the arguments of these who would fain make us believe that it wont cost Canada a great deal in way ol cash ; he showed thai the American Gov- ernment gave 12,000 acres of a land grant for every mile of the road "constructed; and that Canaaa only offers to give 6,000 acres per?mile, so that if any one undertakes' the work, the other 6,000 acres per mile will have to be made up by grants of money -- It was well known, he eaid, that onr pre- sent uneettled relations with the United States conld not last much longer., We would either establish strong Iriendly com- mercia) relations with that country or be abeorbed into the union. In either case the present American railway was sufficient for the traffic across the continent for a nomber of years to come, and he would not support the resolutions before the House. ji Mr, Jackeon considered the admission of British Columbia as highly desirable, and would support the Government mensnre. Mr. Mulls regarded the principle of rep- resentation by population as established by the Act of Confederation, and were British | Columbia adm®iited on any other terms, it would be a violation of that .#et. - He re- garded the Government bugbear of Briti-h Columbia being in the market for the highest bidder, as" ou'rageous, and it was insulting to that 2rovince to assert that she would either annex to the United Sistes or join the Dominion, ax 'he one or the other of the sors, but considered that Province as loyal as any other of the empire. To talk, as the Government pioposes, of having the Pacific Railway finished within ten years, is perfect nonsense, it will take seven years to build the Intercolonial, and at the same rate, it will require 37 to build the Pacific. Maren 30. Aller the loose. business had been got through, the famous British Columbia reso- lutions were brought betore the House by Sir George. Mr. Jones, Halifax, spoke against the Goverment scheme, declaring it to be ruinous to the country, and certain to place the Dominion in a far worse position in point of debt than the United States are now.

The Senate took up the British Columbia resolutions, Senator Campbell introduced the subject in a lengthy and eloquent speech. He declared rep. by pop. to be inapplicable to the new Provinces, as if it were applied to Manitoba and British Columbia, 'they would neither of them have a single represectative. He strongly advocated the scheme. Alter considerable discussion the debate was adjourned. In the Commons, the chief business of the day was discussing the piopriety of having a verbatum report taken of the various members' speeches by pail report- ers. It was stated that some $14,000 each session would cover the expense, We should judge that hos. members had belger not press this measure, many of their speeches, even afler being filtered and -cooked, will scarcely pass muster, but should a verbaitum report go out to the pub- lic, some of 1hé perpetrators would have to flee the country.
