We Lelieve it is the inâ€" tention of the Burean of Agriculture to present this alternative to all purties who have their applications alresdy in, or who may hereâ€" aiter apply between the present time and the passing of the new Act. The advantages t be derived from the brief delay are obvious ; instead of the two Provinces the patents i+ sued under the new Act will apply throughâ€" out the whole Dominion ; while it is doubtful whether any patents now in force in one part of the Dominion can be male operative in the whule without injustise to preâ€"existing rights. Applicants will, of course, consider their own interests in the premises, the desire of the Depurtment in calling their attention t» the subject being merely to give them the choice of accepting now a patent applicable to Ontario and Quebec, or waiting a tew months for one which will operate throughâ€" out the whole Domision. ® .commencement of the Legislature of Ontario is that which, as announced by the Premier of the Dominion, it is intended to adopt in the Palia-::*(hnm;' anad we are not a httle surprised to And the princijpal op ponents of this necedsury reform in the per« sous of Messrs.

Thus far the Government, which we were told that u. sane man believed "would stand tortyâ€"eight ‘hâ€"urs after the " meeung of the Legislature," has gut over two of the most important test question» that can preseat themselves at the beginning of u se stog â€"the election of a Speaker and the pas=ing of the Addressâ€"not only without new syinptoms of weakness having manifested themselves, but even with proffered support from quarters whence some were disposed to doubs its coming.

' ThcOttamaCinuys Ix dispensing with the services of the * Contingent Committee" of the Legislative Assembly, and nssuming direct Ministerial responsibility for the offices and salaries of the employees of the Legislature, the Cabinet of the Hon. J. 8. Macvosarp has taken a most desirable step in the interests of economic government. The policy inaugurated t the ber», irre«peciive altogether of any consiler ation for the public interests. It is not inâ€" ren led that this wastetul system shall be per mined to eagraft iteeit ugou the Locu. Legiâ€"lature uf the Western Province, seein, that itis io be so soun abolished in the Cana® t«- Legislature. ue system whic KÂ¥uesystem which in the future will be adoptâ€" di, to Leprovided for by legislation, will in «ll probability be similar to that which prevails In England : â€"There the Clerk and Sergeant atâ€"Arms ure called upon to furnish detailed estimates for the services of each session, the tormer with respect to the clerical services ui the House, the lutter as regiuris messengers, atteudunts, &c. Tuese estimates are submitâ€" ted to the Speaker,adf ifhy him approved, cerâ€" tified and handed to the Cuancelior of the Ex .:;ar, wh on the responsibility of the Govâ€" ernment, submits them to the consideration ut Pariiament, where they are of câ€"urse open to the criticiam of members. Tuere is thus the most complete check placed upon the undue multipli¢cation of offices, or the too exâ€" twavagant allowances of salaries. If Mr. Speaker‘s estimates are deemed too lugh by the Government, or the offises too many, it is clear that the Government will decline to as sume the responsibility of presenting them tor the approval of Parliament. On the other hand the Speaker, knowing that he must get the sanction of the Government to Ims esumate, und thereafier submit it to the critcisin of Parlidiment, has no temptation‘te exceed the uctua‘ requirements of the service of the Legisluture ; whereas under the system which beretofore prevailed in Canada, he was in great measure at the mercy of the Contingent Committee, who could throw upon him the responsibility of the extruvragances forced upun him by its own members. :« A meagure providing {» a #similar system in the Legislature of the Dominion has ‘been promised, 4s we have staued, by the Premier, an] in organis.ng the Local Legislature oi Ontariv the Cabmet wisely omitied the "Cunâ€" # fUngent‘* from the list of the standing com» \mufi’: thereby prepiring the way tot a whulesome weyinning on & sound footing.

House would endeavor to carry out the obâ€" | f jucts of Confederation, which he doubted not | ! would be productive of much good in the j ! future, Upon referring to the third clause of } « the Address, he had to xpress his disapprobaâ€" | | tion of the wisdom of the gentlemen who | ! framed the Constitution so as to give this | Province only one Chamber. Me whjected | : to it, because lt was exceptional in its | | ‘oh.ruxfâ€"belnx he only Province of the | tour w#ere this ‘ principle had been recog» | | nized. By this means the House had been | left at the wurcy ot the Government.|| Phat House might not always have such | | «h able leader of the Government to guide it ; | and consequently be thought it would have | been wiss to have established « secoud cham» | < bur, in order that it might have ‘a directing | : power over the deliberations ot the Lower | House,‘ He contended that the House had | the power within itself to; create a second chamber, and he saw no reason why steps should not be taken in that direction, (Hear, hear.) In proceeding to the fourth clause ot the Address he referred to the sources of re. | venue of this Province, and repeated the items in conbection therewith, which have already been published and expressed himself satisfied with the division of monies between the several | Provinces, and poiuted out the benefits that would accrue to the country at large by the construction of the Intercolonial railway. Re was opposed to have the timber lands, of the country wasted in future as m{_m been in the past by licenged Jumberers ‘The licensing system was injurious and should not be allow. vd to exist in future, because the lumberers picked out the best lumber and left the land useless for future occupation, He was in favor of the Government assuining the responsibiliâ€" ty of issuing tavern licenses and withdrawing this duty from the municipal authorities, as he 1 thought much good would be the result, and by which means the sources of revenue would be increascd, und from the various sources of ~ revenuse be submitted that about two million dollars. would be realized by the Governnient of Ontario. He proceeded to express his satisfaction with the paragraph in the address which referred to the nconnr.' mient‘ ot emigration and the passage of a homestead law. He ‘Eolnud out that much good had resulted in the State of Illinois by a liberal encouragement hbeing given to emigraâ€" tion, and hy thought this country might sucâ€" cessfully follow such a commendable example. | In reference to this matter he spoke in favor: able terms of the efforts of Mr. Donaldson, the emigration agent in this city ; uod of his valuâ€" | | able letter on the subject of emigration. Mr:â€" | Donaldson had suggested that the Government | might with advantage take up certain townâ€" ‘| ships, and prepare them for actual settiers. | For instance A inight be ln‘pwv-d, and B passed over, and C might be improved by a | few actes being cleared and a log bhouse put upon it. _ Then the emigrant might have the privilege of occupying either the improved , | lot or the adjoining one at his option. â€" By | this meane a very large number of townships ; | might be very rapidly settied by emigrants ‘ | from the old country ; men who would prefer , | obtaining a home under the British flag than | under a foreign one. He polated out thatsa ; | very large number of emigrants were conâ€" ;) tinually passing through the country on their , | way to the United States, and expressed the , | hope that efforts would be made to keep these , | poople in Canada, He thc;:fbt-ou actual | | suttler would be more buneBSclal to the eountry q | than if the land which be might occupy were .

LEGISLATURE OF ONTARIO, [Condensed from the Leader.] DEBATE ON THE ADDRES8 NOTICES OP MOTION RFP the House in speaking of this matter, but ‘ would‘ proceed to remind members that it would be wisdom on their part to take care that proper parties were chosen to form the Board of Aibitrators, to be . apâ€" pointed <to â€" settle the financial . quesâ€" tions between the late Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada, He was in tavor of a Board of Audit, as experience had taught him that such a Board had worked well in the past, He also hoped that the Government would not be allowed to expend money without the sancâ€" tion of . Parliament. He was in favor of emâ€" ploying competent officials, paying them well, and making each do a fair amount of work for the pay which he received. He pointed out the evils that might arise by party legislation in the passage of private bills, by which cerâ€" tain parties might be enabled to secure a monâ€"" opoly. In conclusion he expressed the hope that the confidence reposed in the House by the establishment of a Locad Legislature would not be misplaced. It had been hinted that this country might be driven into connection with the United States, ‘but he hoped that there was no gentleman present who had any desire,to see such a change in our allegiance. He hoped that the time would come when this country would have one foot on the Atlantic and the other on the Pacific, and that we would continue under the old flag, by the protection of which the people of this country would ever retail® its rights and liberties. Ho wished to say a tew wotas with regard to the support he was prepared to give the Government. He supported the Government not because it had at its head his honorable friend from London (Mr. Carling,) nor his honorable friend from Cornwall, but because these gentlemen had his confidence. Ths Government should not be supported on account of the past political history of its members, but on account of the course which they intended to pursue in future. So long as he was satisfied that their measures were goodâ€"â€"that they would promote/the inâ€" terests of the country he would support them. He thanked the House for its patietce to a young member and resumed his sext amid apâ€" plurmye, :c 03â€" } _ Mr. GREELEY, of Prince Edward, secondâ€" ed the Address in an‘able speech, in which he gave in his heartyâ€"adbesion to the Governâ€" ment. C ho Mr. MOKELLAR, after a few opening *** marks, said that he did not rise to offec a) hostile opposition to the Address, as he sa» the views of the Reform party prevailing in it. But be could not allow the matter to par" without referring to the couse purstied by thf" honorable the Attorney.General during t cent elections, by which much damage .« been done to the Reform party. That gentleman bad travelled the country for the purpose of opposing his former friends, but he (Mi, Mcâ€" Kellar) had no doubt that in his heartthe was sorry for what he had done (llught‘i:), and that the day was not tar off when he wojuld rsâ€" turn to his first love, (Laughter.) (It had been suggested that party should be forgotten, but he was not in fayor of doing so. He was in favor of perpetuating party politics, beâ€" cause he belicved that a good healthy opposiâ€" tion was necessary toall gov.raments. Howâ€" ever, he had confidence in the Attorneyâ€"Genâ€" eral that he meant to do right, because he saw from the Address that he was in favor of bay, ing Reform opinions prevail in his cabinct, ‘The Premior had said that the two Conservaâ€" tive members had been taken into the Govâ€" erament as ppfnutlcu ‘in the Reform ranks, (Laughter.) He would like to know what rl'v‘l’ell these geutlemen had made ; ke would ike to know if they had been promoted to the positions of " ours ?" _ â€" Mr. MACDONALDâ€"You see it in their Adâ€" dress. * Mr. McKELLAR would rather heur it from . the gentleman‘s own lips, He deprecated the course puzsued by the Commissioner of Public Works, who had honored him with a visit in Bothwell for the porpose of defeating him, and his purse also made use of, In Hamilton also, wfforts had been made by other members of the Government to influence the elections. The Attorneyâ€"General had threatened to take away the asylum for the blind i? case his hon. friend cn his left was defeated. | Sir John A. Macdonald had also telegraphed to Hamilton to receive the votes of customâ€"house ofticers. This conduct was to be depretated ; and he trusted that it would not be répeated. For hi own part he was not inclined to lay aside party pom:oa; and he would take the first opâ€" portunity of placing a Reform Government on the Treasury Beoches. He had to complain of the omission in the Address of allusion to the policy ot the Government in thd management of the mineral lands ot the counitry, Heretoâ€" fore he had to say that the agement of these lands was a disgrace to ghy civilized ntry. Inconclusion the ble gentleâ€" Fn said that although be had confidence in he integrity of the leader of the Government, and was not prepared to give him a factious opposition, yet as soon as the proper time arâ€" rived he would endeavor to place a Reform Government in the rhcel of the gentlemen who at present occupied the Tréasury Benches. 13 6 =, Mr. FERGUSON, in rising to reply said that he was glad to learn that there was no cause of dissatisfaction expressed by any memâ€" ber of the Opposition on account of what was set forth in the Address. ‘The omly thing complained of was some items of omission. He was surprised that the honorable member for Bothwell had complained of the assistance ! given by members of <the Government to their ‘ supporters during the recent elections. Why, surely, it was no harm for a friend to help a friend, (Laughter.) , 1t was a principle which had been recognized by all parties, Indeed the travelling missionary (laughter) could not complain of a friend helping a friend ; because plurhpc mo man had done nontb!:n that genâ€" tleman in this respect, . (Hear.) He supposed that when his friend lr( Carling visited Bothâ€" well he paid his own expenses (laughter), and that m&oofly%flu& could be expectâ€" ed of a gentleman like him. (Laughter.) He had seen his friend Mr, McKellar, a good way from home in formur days in trying to asaist his friends, and co ntly he did not think he bad much toeo;?olonun part taken by certain mem! ot the Government during the recent eleetions; and he had no doubt that when Mr, McKellar was away from home on such oceasions that he too had to spend money also, (Hear.) However, during the recent elections he (Mr, McKelâ€" lur) had little opportunity of assiating his friends, as he had been kept pretty busy at home, (Laughter.) The hon. gentlicman. then pmeee-.td to advocate a liberal encourâ€" agement to einigrants in order that the wild lands of the country might be settled as soon as possible. He had no doubt that the Govâ€" ernment would bring down a measure for the management of the Orown â€"Lands, . which would he acceptable to every member of the House; and that they would be willing to have their recommendations amended as the House might desire. He was sorry that his friend (Mr. Coyne) has raised an objection on account of this Province having only one leâ€" gislative chamber, because he thought it was too soon tocommence making objections to the constitation. (Hear.) He thought it would be an insult to the judgment of the membérs of the present Lq‘lhtm'of Ontaâ€" rio to say that they could not be entrusted to pass measures without having the guidance of an upper chamber. Une of the reasons why asecond chamber was given to the Province of Quebec was the fear entertained by M. Carâ€" tier that the excitable tempor of the Freuch members might cause them to measures that might be obnozious toflnr.l.lbh speak.â€" ing proportion ot u‘:‘&opnhuon. Ho thereâ€" fore deemed it adyv u to have a second chamber created to keep them in check. ‘He trusted that the members of this House would not hastily put the country to great expense by the creation of a second chamber, when they could get on well enough without it. â€" The first and socond clauses of the Address were then passed. _ _ _ _ Mr. PARDEE, of Lambton, next rose, and [# as a young member of the House, craved the | | mal indulgence accorded to such members. | en proceeded to say that although he | ! had not been elected upon the principles | ! upon which the Government had been formed, | ! but it wa» one thing to oppose the principles | | upon which the Government was formed, and another to oppose its presest policy. The | Reformers haa hailed the call of Mr. Macdonâ€" | ald o the head of the Government with deâ€" light, but the friends of that gentleman were | soon grieved to find him taking an active part | in the elections for the purpose of defeating bis former friends. He, however, now accepted the statement of the Premier that his Govâ€" ernment wass training school for the Conâ€" servative gentlemen whom be had taken into his cabioet,. (Laughter.) This was a time when young members might be allowed‘to declare their position, and he was ready to say that ho did not intend to offer a factious ‘o"olmoe to the Government. . He then ad. vocated the establishment of :.u;‘ u-o-l stead law, and resumed his seat applause, Sir HENRY SMITH, in rising to speak of | the third paragraph, said be was delighted to I find that no gentieman could find fault with the Address. â€"It pleased members of both sides | of the House, and it was evident that the lion and the lamb might ie down together and a little child could lead them. ,(Hear, hear.) He was pleased with the way" in which | his yosqg friend from Peel had spoken in , movimhc Address. <He was pleased with his views relative to the establishment of a second chamber. They might take his 'ord! that the people of Oatario would insist before | very long upon baving such a chamber. As ; they bad two in Quebec he felt confident the peogle of Ontario would not be satisfied with | one dhamber, and he also expressed the hope. that he Legislature of Ontario would noon' be eutirely independent of the House of Com.| 1 1 ANpomaenr c Emt : mons, and for that reason he was in favor of preventingdual representation. â€" He spoke in high . terms of the amount of ability shown by the young members, whom he contended would compare favorably with those of the: House of Commons. He trusted that the House should bave an explanation from che Government as to their policy with regard to the mineral lands. â€" He trusted that the Gov. erament would not be curlish towards emi. grants, and that the systeim of licensing lum. berers would not be recognized in future, because he thought it would be better to allow the suttlers themselves to sell the timber to purchasers than tor the Government to do so, because it could not he expected that settlers could go into the woods to. clear up land that had been culled of all its good timber by those to whom timber licenses had been granted, The honorable knight concluded by #aying that he was proud of the youug members of the House, and said that if he could be of ser. vice to them he would be glad‘to give them «ny information in his power, (Applause.) _ After speeches from Mr. OLIVER, of Orâ€" ford, and Mr. SINCLAIR, of North Bruce, the third paragraph was agreed to, and the House rose at a quarter.past one. | ArTERNXOON® SITTIXG â€" Atthree p. m. the SPEAKER resumed the .¢ly umappy event, *m o9 me first exercise of their local authority, Hfl" Mujesty‘s representative who addressed them ‘ froin the Throne, should be an old and gallant soldier, and ‘a distinguished servant of the Empire. t inarked a most gracefuland happy transition from the past to the present, He (Mr. Cumberland) desired also £6 add his conâ€" gratulations to the 8 mself, Jn that gentleman the se recognized an expotent of those principlés of moderation with which the revered name pf Baldwin had always been connected, Nothing could be more happy than that the choice of the Housesbould bave fallen on such & man." The member for Algoma next proveeded to defend the Premier who, it had been alleged bad damaged the Ruform party by the establishment of that Government over which he presided, Now he (Mr. Cumberland) believed that if Mr. Baldwin, the leader ‘of the great #eform party, was nlive, he would tread precisely in the same rteps taken by the présent leader of the Governin=nt . â€" There was an eraiin provincial history whes Mr. Draper on 'at hand, and Mr, Baldwin on the other, joined ‘together for the conducting of public . affairs, under cireumstances similar to those which now exâ€" ixted ; and was Mr. Baldwin now alive and in political life he would have guided and govâ€" erned as the hon. the Premier was now doing . He (Mr. Cumbl';-zlnd) believed in rsfly govâ€" erament, and betieved it would quickly arise in the House. But it was not for bon. gen« tlemen to try and force it on before its time, /.s to his own position, he would take leave to say that he would not be pledged, then or «t any other time, to & blind party adhesion. He had a bitter, unmeasared contempt for such a course. Mr. Cumberland, in commenting on the Address, regretted exceedingly that there had been ho mention in it of dual representaâ€" tion. ‘That was a subject on which he was sure the House was unanimous; and hon. gentlemen occupying seats in both Houses would be forced to elect at an early date for one or other Legislature. "‘The promise that a Homestcad Law should be l-wlxl down, was oue which would give general satisfac» tion. ‘The hon. gentleman next alluded to the great importance of ‘a good system of Crown . Land managementâ€"something the Province had not enjoyedâ€"but would he hoped before long. It was said that free grants of agricultural lands were to be made to actual settlers. 1t would, he thought, be a great mistake if Government hesitated to adopt the same liberal policy with respect to the mineral lands ot the Province, Hesketchâ€" ed the bad results of the Crown land policy in leaving the vast mineral wealth of the North Shore untouched ; while the United States had long since developed the Southern shore. He thought, too, that the Government should at once establish municipal institutions in the great region of Algoma ; and the omission ot any reference to the matter in the Speech, ‘ was, he considered,a very grave one.

At some future time be would on . | some matters which bad been omitted from ,| the Address He thought thet agriealtare, Mr. COCKBURN, of Victoria said, that alâ€" though a young memver of the House, he felt it his duty not to ailow the debate to close without saying a few words. (Hear, bear.) He was much obliged to his houn. gullant friend, the member for Frontenac, for his kind alluâ€" wions to young members, and he trusted to profit by his advice. He then pointed out the blunders that had been made by Commisâ€". sioners of Crown Lands in former times. He re> memberedâ€"that a Commissioner had ordered the survey of a couple of townships in the back part of his county, and that the surveyor reported that the land would not pay for the surveyâ€"that there was not earth enough to hold the stakes ; but a successor had orcerâ€" ed another survey, and no less than 14,000 acres had been sold in one of these townships â€"Cardenâ€"and last year some of the very best wheat bad been grown in the township.. He trusted that a liberal policy would be pursued by the Governmenit with regarnd to the estabâ€" lishment of a Homestead Law, as well as in d in entouteging of emigretie betievigy as and in encou as he did, that ,much good would result thereâ€" from. (Applause.) e C Mr. BOY D complimented the Speaker on his election to that chair. 1t was an old proverb â€"â€"as old as the worldâ€"that wise men come from (the â€" eastâ€"(luughter)â€"and he (Mr. Boyd) was proud to say that he too came from the east. He might say at the outset that the members on his side of the House had come here for the purpose ofkeeping the geutlemen opposite in their places. (Laughâ€" ter.) In referring t, his contest with Mr. McGee at Prescott, he said that that gentleâ€" man was one of the mmbomwog.“mu that could be found; but it had said that in case Mr. McGee were not placed in the position he (Mr. Boyd) occupled on the floor of the â€"House the rights of the minority would be neglected. ‘This he contended was a libel t c l ane. : mt .. shigh , «* tose and s2f Mr. F, W,.CUMBERIalises of the Addras "@ "TSurions must, he thdligia't: c;)‘r'&illy the adoption of the first clause of no .

(Laughter ) He resumed amid applause. Mr. LAUDER (South Grey) refetred to the past minmgnpment of the Crown Lands, and spoke strongly in favor of having the business of the country transacted with digni. ty and despatch, because the eyes of the whole confederacy_were upon the Local Legislatures to se how they conducted themsclves, He resumed his seat amid applause, * Mr, SEXTON, (South Wentworth) would support the Government in accordance with the merits ot the measures introduced ‘by them ; byt inâ€"case their measures did not please him hbe would have to vote making them give place to better imen.. Mr. GRAHAM, of West Hastings, as a young man and a practical farmer, wished to say a tew words, but would not have done so now had it had not been that in the debute that day one Â¥ery important itein had been omitted, and that was the imanufacturing interests of Ontario. Me wished to dehne hisâ€"position He thenâ€"proceeded to may that he would sup~ port the Government so long as their measures were calculated to promote the interests of the country. _ Me was decidedly opposed to a Legislative Council for Ontariq ; he was opâ€" posed to a titled aristocracy, because hbe thought the people had legislators enough and that no more taxes would be placed on the people for their maintenance: . In conclusion he wished to say that if the gentliâ€"men on the opposite side of the House broughtâ€"down bet. ter measures than those introduced by the Premier he would support them. (Applause.)
