But Mr. Howrax»o declined to trans fer himselt to the Department of Finance, anod Mr. Rose, aiter much deliberation, con. sented to assume the departmental as well as the secrional successorship to Mr. Gart. Mr.Ros# is not new to cfficial life, nor & stranger to the subjects with which in his new Department he will be called upon to deal. . As one of the first commercial lawyers of the commercial capital of the Dominion, he has gathered a large amount of practical knowledge, which heretofore he has utilised in his place in Parliament, whenever questions of tariff or commercial law were up for consideration, and we doubt not but that he will bring to the dutics ot is new position an amount of ability whiciv will reâ€" dound to his own credit, and the advantage of the country, leaving to his golleague= as litâ€" tle as possible to regret in the loss of the inâ€" valuable services of the Hon. A. "I. Gart, whose » retirement from the Government on the vory thresho!d ot our new era in legisla tion has been matter of so much sincere disâ€" appointment. In Mr. Ross we have a sucâ€" cessor to Mr. Gart t» whom, we think, the country may safely transfer its confidence ; one, at all events, to whose career as a public man, we may.â€"saiely point as giving promise of auccess in any department to the control of which he may be cailed.

Joux Rose as a representative man of the British Protestant population of Quebec, is, of all others, the most eminently qualified to succeed Mr. Gaut in his sectional charâ€" acter. And it must also be admitted that with ourâ€" present notions of class and sectional representation, no government cou}d very fairly claim to be representative of the whole Dominion which did not embrace one gentleman from the Province of Quebec who had a title to recognition as the exponent of the views of this large, important and influen â€" tial elementâ€"in our population. In this parâ€" ticular, all eyes naturally turned to Mr. Rose as a gentleman who from his past record and acknowledged standing in the country, was emmently qualified to take the place of Mr. GaLt in the Cabinet. less been prepared for the announcement tha‘ the Hon. Jowx Rose has accepted the position in the (Government recently relinâ€" quished by the Hon. A. T. Gart, as it has beeiw known for sometime tnst a portfolio haut ‘been offered to him. The. Hon. Mr. Howraxo had been invited to exchange bis post of Minister of Excise for that of Finance, but declined, and Mr. Ross, therefore, acâ€" ¢epts the same position in the Government as that previously occupied by Mr. Gart. This change in the person of the Finance Minister does not, however, involve any change of policy; the general line ot policy in regard to Finance which was agreedto on the formaâ€" tion of the Privy Council of Canadsa will still When Mr. Gaur retired from the Governâ€" men the left, so to speak, two va eancies in the Cabinct, one ~ sectional ani the other departmental. No one be adhered to. By the resolation respecting the pay of members of which Sit Jonx A. Macpoxarp has given notice, it is provided that $6 per day will be allowed to members for the first part of the Seasion ; aad that after the long adjournmentâ€"from next month, probably until Februaryâ€"should the remaining part of the Session last over thirty days, the usual sessional altowance heretofore prevailing in Canada, $600, will be paid. Mileage will also be allowed for the adjournment should it beâ€"as it undoubtedly willâ€"for a period exceeding thirty days. These provizions will hardly be deemed too liberal when it is remembered that, practically,"the Jong ad journment will make the first Session equivâ€" alent to two ; and with this «advantage that the business of the country may be resumed «n the second reassembling of Parliament at the point where it is now left off, Tnstead of beginning de nove as would be the ordinary effect of closing the first Session befsre the Christmas holidays. The same per diem and sessional allowances are given to Senators ns to members of the House of Commons. ~ We insert to day a letter from Mr. Enaries Dezax», on the Madoc gold region. Mr. Duraxo‘s testimony‘ is valuable and disinâ€" terested, and will no doubt carry weight with it, â€"a« the result of actual observation by a gentleman whose name is so well known throughout the country. This letter we inâ€" sort with pleasure, and trust it may tend to direct the attention of Canadian Capitalists to that region of. country, not merely as a field for speculativeâ€"investment, but for the employment of Isbor in the production ‘of wealth. Our own capital and labor should be made to develope the mineral resources of the Madoc, and other regions where minerals are known to exist in quantities that will richly piy for their working. r 1 ThcOttewaCimes Ottawa & Montreal Macadamized Road Company Tus House and the country hase doubt On no occaston will the names of Old Advertisements be inserted TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1=67 Citv and County Qficialâ€" Paper NEW ADVERTISEMEN I‘s | tired to inactivity," He resides in a small frame house situate on a farm which is cultiâ€" vated by his sons ; he has abandoned the chase, but clings to the faith of his fathers, being we believe almost the only one on the island unconverted to christianity.

It is a striking document | from its vidlence of tone and assumption ot ; authority on the part of its concocters; but ' ‘ | otherwise, except from the peculiarity of the . cireumstance« under which it ‘has appeared, I it is scarcely deserving of being placed on record. It smacks strongly of the sentiments | of a certain Marmx J. Wirktss, & profound | constitutional lawyer, who sometime ago undertook to prove that the British Nunhi "| America Act had no force nor effect in Nova Scotis, Tins same Mantts J. Wirxiss has | ‘become Attorney General in the adminis tration «"constructed" <by the Legislativeâ€" Assemblymen, and we see that in this deâ€" claration his peculiar notions concerning the | incompetency of the Imperial Parliament to | legislate, touching the Constitution of Nova Scotia, are fully maintained. | _ We do not desire to diseus« the bathos of |â€" the irrepressible Wirkiss ; but we cannot help remarking upon the extraordinary elas ticity of hislegal lore, which, whnle holding the Umion Act "invalid" as regards Nova Scotia, yet justifies the acceptance of a seat in the Parkament, created uwypler that Act, by the gentlemen elected in that Provinee in obedience to its express terms, and under no other authority whatsoever. Surely if the Nova Scotians are legally justified in insistâ€" ing that the Act is invalid, they cannot be justified in maintaining that the elections | under it were valid, or that the men who reâ€" | present that Province have any right to a | , seat in the Legislature of the Dominion. The issue, as stated in this declaration, is between | the Nova Scotians and the Imperial Parlia® : ment; but the first step towards an amicable | ; settlement would be the recognition of the undoubted right of the Imperial Parliament : to pass the Act, and consequently the recogâ€" | ; nition of its validity while in force. This | has actually been done by the Nova Svotian _ members _ of _ the _ Dominion Parliament, _ and _ therein _ they â€" huve shewn good sense, as well as * prudence " and patriotism," and we should like to know under what uathority Mr. Wirkiss | ; himselt holds the office of Attorneyâ€"General in Nova Scotin? â€" Will any Governor of that | t Province tolerate a set of wilvisers who affect | to set aside the Constitution which he is sworn to administer? _ Or permit of their | ; transcending the powers of that Constitution f by ussuming the exercise of prerogatives beâ€" longing of right, or at least by law, to anâ€" 7 other ? â€" Mr. Wirkixa may cling to his theory, | , but practically he must govern himselt accorâ€" | » ding to the law as it exists. It is competent | for the people of Nova Seotia, as it is for | & those of any one of the other Provinces, to | ,, petition the three estates of the realm for a | d repeal or modification of the British North | !i America Act; but it is not competent for ® either to resist the operation of that Act, s> j long as it remains in force; and notwithâ€" | t standing the bluster of these administration | S constructors, we atill hope that respect for the | ,, law will characterise the conduct ot tlie | q Local Administration of the Province of | se Nova Scotin.

Was in company with Professor Otway, a thorough scholarâ€"gzentleman and mineralogiat, and examined the houses just put up, in the old hemlock woods; among the rocks and hills of the lower and “Y r Eldorado. What a euphonious name! E 5’; rado! Yes there are two villages within a quarter of a mile of each other, thirtyâ€"five miles almost due north of Belleville, in the deep forests, among the everlasting hills, called Eldorado. There the busy thoughts of men are at workâ€"the hammer is soundingâ€"the picks are busyâ€"the busy housewife is at workâ€"the ringing ot the hotel bells are heardâ€"teams are rumbling over the roadsâ€" anxwious men wre constantly exploring for gold! ! ! Here, there, and in a hundred places, even fifty miles north of Belleville, exploring miners are to be seen, not so nuâ€" merous as they should be, but sull many of them. Now shall I say it, that I, before I went to see it for myself, believed gs perhaps ninel{-five out of every hundred Canadians, do believe that this region contained very little gold and silver worth working. In other words that the ery of minernf wealth in Madoc, Eldorado, and Tudor is all a mere éryâ€"the rumor of n interested set otf men. It is not so. _ I feel highly pleased that I have Eme to examine for myselt, and should this tter reach the eye of any â€" kind friend, who showed me the .m of that truly interestâ€". ing region, I most tily thank all for their kindaess to me, and sincerely hope that their just expectations of coming wealth may be richly crowned with success, I got for inspection many rich samples of oreâ€" atone, containing both silver ubs‘old. And let me say that travellers needâ€"not be afraid to go to Madoc, for they will find there a well kept hotelâ€"an hotel almost equal to any in Oitawa, kept by Mr. Huffman, formerly of Peterboro. There they will enjoy every . comfort, and be as it were in their own homes. I _ found the roads superb, only a little stony here _ and _ there. This re.a‘on is a grand raineral countryâ€"not as yet known er prized by our people. It has mines equal to those of California, which only require capital to develope them. There is an abundance of silver and gold in the rocks in these mines, . which extend over an area of country, perhaps for tifty nules equare. . I do not pretend to define the limits. I verily beheve there are hundredsâ€"of mines as yet undiscoveredâ€"and there are rvlnbly fity in process of being worked. 1 cannot state the exact figures, but am within the mark. It is said too, that (notwithstanding the denial of Sir B. Logan that we have coal in Canada) that coal has been (a genuine article) found in this region. â€" There are mines about Eldorado as rich as those of Nevada. Mines that will yield sixty dollars of gold and silver to the ton of stune. A ton of stone from the Moore mine was crushed a week ago and yielded fiftyâ€"three dollars in gold! to the ton. I saw and handled the gold. .Auother mine (the Toronto Mine) yielded over thirty dollars in gold to the ton, There is a‘rich mine having a lead of twenty feet wide and overâ€"a mile long. and very deep, mabout sixtéen miles . from Eldorado north, at which Mr. Coldwell is now working. I hare got some rich samples from it. In these mines (in my opinion) Onâ€" tario has a great source of wealth, and I believe within ia year or two, dozens of crushâ€" ing mills will be in operation there. The Richardson mine crushing mill, is a splendid affair, with ten powerful iron ccushersâ€"which when in operation will crush (per day) over thirty tons ot oreâ€"I was toid even fifty tons. Each ton will average from twentyâ€"five to sixty dollars of the precious metals. To the Editor of the Truxs.

S., was proclaimed to cost only £8,000 sterling a mile ; it has, instead, cost £27,000, but the fuct has come to light that the Engineer was a partner with the Contractor. The first act of the Commissioners will be .0 @ppoint an Engineer, an office of greater ‘mportance to the proper and economical cony struction of the line than even the Commisâ€" sioners themselves, for Railway Directors o Railway Commissioners, in spite of the greatâ€" est experience and strictest surveillance, are at the mercy of their Engineer during the construction of any railway, It is equally essential that this ofticer should be an Engineer, and free from the taint of cither being a conâ€" tractor or dependent on contractors, or mixed up with jobbery of any kind. It can scarcely be supposed that the Execuâ€" tive Government of Canada will propose to personally superintend and carry out the conâ€" struction of the Railway, but will probably provide in the Bill for its being carried on by a Commission. If so, then itis indispensible to the confidence of the Imperial Government and Parliament that the Commissioners should not only be pure, but above saspicion.
