We have had some desperate examples of this in the lute elections to the Outario Legislature, in which some of the most incompetent men in the land, and decidedly the most unwoithy have crept into office ou. sbeolutely false pretences, or rather & con centration of sham. The several constituencies throughout the Dominion will soon be called upon 'to replenieh the House with a set. of repre- sentatives for the second parliament of the Dominion, when an opportunity will tm afforded for rewatding merit and fitly pun- ishing recreancy, by granting a fresh lease of power to the worthy and setting side the incompetent end the tnfaithful. The selection of » candidate is a matter of the uimost importance and ought to be gonk into wilh the greatest care. A candidate's Gitoess ought not to be guaged by the length of his tougue, the depth of bis purse or his flamiog promises, but by his business tact, thorongh honesty end. uncompromising rectitude. In order to be an efficient legis- lator jt is necessary to understand the re- quirements of the country, the best modes of supplying these requirements, with a fair share of force of character and power of debate to. sustain his views end place them. before the House in a forcible man- wer.

Candidates for the 'representation of this riding are beginning to present themselves and their claims be- fore the electors,, this is ast ought to be, and it is to be hoped thet all who aspire to this hovorable but responsible position will follow the example endl place themselves and their claims before, the electors 80 that all who aspire to the_position may have a fair field and the filness of the several candidates taken into consideration, that each one may stand of fall by his fines forthe position ; and the whole constituency may thus know which men they have in their offer, and that they may give their support 10 the one whom they regard best fitted for the oftice. We may thus be saved a repitition of the farce of a ring--selecting about the most unsnitable party which could be got, thrusting him under ovr nose and telling us if we do not take him we can get no other; and when remon- strated with on the awkwardness of the choice, tb be told that the die was cast, the fiat had gone fotth and'it was too late now 10 make u change. A packed conventien is the very essence of fraud and deeeption and never fails in selecting the worst men ; for none but the most worthless candidate would be a party to any such trickefys -~ " Let every man whe aspires 10 the position place himself at once before the electors and give them lime to make a calm and deliberate 'choice from the merits of the men in connection with their views on the great and important questions which must, from the nature'of things, come before the next Dominion parliament. The Dominion like a new and'nuble ship may be regarded as just beginning 16 move from her moor- ings, and the second parliament, if they steer wisely, will carry her past the rocks and shoals into an open sea; whereas should she [all into incompeient hands she may run aground or founder on the rocks ere she loses sight of the harbor. Questions full of present interest and fraught with future importance to this young and pro- mising country will come up, and must te dealt with wisely but vigorously ; a pusil- lanimbous policy would be disastreus to the 'Dominion. nd uneatisfactory to the Empire. Besides a crowd of minor matters such al Election laws, Superior Court' Bills, the Arbitration muddle . and a host of other ordinary matters, there is a Canal Policy 10 be grappled with, a gigantic railway policy to be prosecuted, our relations with the States us to.a commercial policy to be framed, and last and by no m:ans least, our future relations with the Empire, a subject which must be dealt with in goid earnest and settled at once. This eternal chirping of independence, somelithes on the une side and sometimes on the other, cripples the energies of both as neither know what they have got to depend upon. This standing on the opposite shores of the At. lantic holding out a gloved finger to each other is vo kind of Iriendship ; if we are to continue part of the Empire let us go into it with a hearty good will, take off our nloves and clutch eoch olber with all the fe:vor of parent und child. And if we are to part, for guoduess sake let it be done manfully ! let our parent say so at once and we shall pick up our traps ut once and go; but do not let us be treated as a worthless incumbent who, 10 save sacking, is induced 'to give in hia resignation.

Oue of the papers puts it thus : -- @ As at present adyised, Her Majesty's Goveroment are of opinion that the right | of Canada fo exclude Americans from fishing in waters within three marine miles of the coast is beyond dispute, and can only Le conceded for a due consideration." "This is followed by a suggestion utrerly unworthy of the British nation, and its bare motion is most humiliating to Canada. This is a suggesiion that Canada might accept of a money consideration' from the States. A. suggestion compared with which the 'mess of pottage" transaction was subl ime. Further on the papers say :-- « Fer Majesty's Government never had any intention to dispose of the Fisheries witliout the consent of Canada, that the Fishery -rights'of Canada are now under the protection of the Canmadiam Act of Parliament, a repeal of which would be necessary in 'the case of a cession of those rights to any foreign' power." . " Again the papers say :-- "Ler Mujesty's Government has no de- desire: whatever to interfere with the right of the Canadian Legislature to refuse to pass acts necessary to give effect to the Treaty." Here follows the slough into which our Caiadian. Government went right over head and ears into mud, by offering to bar ter away. .our much coveted and highly qaluable privileges for a miserable paltry money consideration, and what ist ? It is simply that Caoada is going a begging she wants to borrow largely, and if Eng- land will only guarantee a loan of $20,- 000,000 for her the Yankees may take the fisheries and go to with them, and the Fenian damages might go "to grass. And like a pair of hucksters here "comes in the hizgling. 'Britain won't guar-- antee a loan of twenty, but she will guar antee ope of twelve Bnd a half million dollars. Now we shall see whether the Canadian Parliament is prepared to fol low the government in this more than doubtful transaction. -----o- DOINGS OF THE DOMINION PAR- LIAMENT, - On Thursday, 18th, the business com- menced with the introduction of thiee bills: two by Mr. Blake, viz: fer holding elec- tions on one and the same day; and to secure the independence of the S:nate.-- One by Mr. Cartwright for the better pro- tection of navigable streams and rivers. Papers in connection with the Washing- ton Treaty were laid on the table by the Speaker. The fact of one of the grinders getting hold of and pub'ishing the leading features uf the Treaty the day before their being' placed before the House, brought Messrs. McKenzie and' Holton into Collision with Sir John. The rest of the proteedings of the day consisted of a eerizs of questions and answers from which it was elicited that he government does not intend to proceed with the building of Fortifications ; and the couutry will be pleased to learn tris fact. We aleo learn that the Govern- ment does not iutend to introduce any general election laws--we are glad to know Court Bill is not to be introduced this see~ gion. The business of the 19h commenced by Mr. Mills introducing a bill to abolish dual representation. The famous Washington Treaty got another airing, and from all appearance it has every chance of evaporating ere hon. members get hold of it. A long and interesting discussion tpok place on the necessity of amending the Government Savings Dank Act, and very likely an amended' act- will be the result ere the House rises. et A THE DEATH OF A STRANGER. A mon apparently in the prime of life, about medium size and weight, a French Canadian, whose name was;aflerwards found to be Pierré Lacomb, a tanner or 'currier by trade, came by the Whitby stage and put up at the Revere House Mauochester, on Friday, 19th" inst. * He told the proprietor be meant to stay over till Monday, that be did not feel well, He went to dinner about 1 o'clock, did not wish meat and ordered eggs, but did nct eat mueh of anything.
