t U fore, very good reason why the Hon. Mr. Gaur should have refused to join him. Had the mission been offered to Mr. Gart alone, ig" whose thorough competency to fulfil it we have every confideice, we should have wincerelyâ€"regretted his declining to accept it ; but we thiak that the Dominion Government, in sending â€"one authorised ‘representative to be in communication with t lonial Office, during the issue of the l'*‘;noveâ€" ment, has done quite as much as it ought to have done,| and that it could not well have done Jese. While, thereGre, we fally admit Mr. Gaut‘s qualifications for the migsion, we do not share in the Premier‘a reâ€" grets that he did not undertake it, for we beâ€" lieve that one delegate, and that one, Dr, Tepres, will be able to do all that will be required on the part of the Canadian Gov. erament; though had the Government de cided upon discussing the question of Conâ€" federation anew, we should have look=d upon Mr. Gart‘s presence in England as of the But no Canaiian. Ministry, true to its mis, sion, cao eatertain a doubtas to the vitality We do not regard Dr. Torrets as the repre sentative of the Nova Scotia minority in England ; nor do we think it incumbent upon the Dominion Government to recognise the necessity of providing for the representa tion of that minority there ; but we do see that there was the most urgent reason that the Dominion should have, within consulting distance of the Colonial Office, one who could give the most ample information upon every ‘question raised, and tairly represent the D minion, not only as to the éffect of its policy upon Nove Scotia, but also as to the effect of Nova Seotia‘s policy upon the Dominion, and upon the conditions, embracing railway and other obligations, on which the Union was founded.

Nor cught it to be questioned for a moment that in any such discussion the Imperial Government would naturally seek the aid of the Dominion Govâ€" erament, in so far at least as that might contribute to the â€" elucidation of a»y doubttul.points raised by the suitors for reâ€" Hip the\mission of Dr. Terres.to Eng. land been to fight the batile over again on the subject of Confederation, we ‘could have understood the force of the objections to is «ppointment. But when, as the fact is, he has only been sent for the purpose of supâ€" plying the Colonial Office with such informaâ€" tion as may, in the progress of negociations, be required from the Canadian Government, we are utterly at a losa to understand on what ground his being deputed by the Govâ€" erament of the Dominion can be construed into an act offensive to the Nova Scotia party.

Fraser, * ‘Treasurer N. 8. F. R. F arch 20, 1863. PROGRAMMB 2 J. Frasee, Treasurer N.8. F. R. F _ Hon. Mr. HAMILTON‘could not agree with those who had spoken, in regard to the right of this Parliament to legislate on this subject. ’_ley had as much right to legislate upon this subject as they had to make laws respecting bankruptcy and insolvency, as that would } concern the transmission of real estate in the various Provinces of the Dominion, as much as this. Then, again, they might take the question of marriage and divorce ; a law made on the subject would affect the rights of proâ€" perty all over the Dominion. If you could not say what rights aliens should have, or should not have, how could you legislate at all upon naturalization and aliens, If a subject cannot be restricted or advanced, we caunot legislate upon it. â€" The paragraph reâ€" ferred to in the Act is to be read in connection with other clauses, and an interpretation given to it not inconsistent with the other clauses of the Act, therefore he conld nout agree with those who think thers is a doubt about the power of Parliament in reference to this Bill. ‘The Imperial Parliament up to. the present time have declined to recoguizo naturalized subjects outside of the various Provinces in ‘which they had been naturalined." To obviate Hon. Mr. HAZEN said that Parliament had the right to say how aliens should be treated, bat they had not the power to say what rights of property they should have, that power beâ€" ing expressly reserved for the Legislaâ€" tures. ‘The Bill under consf@deration treated of property, and affected thé fights of individâ€" uals, ‘The 94th section of the\Union Act says : " Notwithstanding anything this Act the Parliament of Canada may make provision for the uniformity of all or any of laws relaâ€" tive to property and civil rights Ontario, Nova Scotiaand New Brunswick, and ot the procedure of all or any of the Courts in those three Provinces, and from and after the passâ€" ing of any Act in titat behalf the power of the Parliament of Canada to make laws in relaâ€" tion to any matter comprised in any such ACt shall, notwithstanding anything in this Act, be unrestricted : but any Act of the Parliament of Canada making provision for such uniformity shall not have effect in any Province, unless, and until it is adopted and enacted as law by the Legisâ€" lature thereof. 'allf we pass this Dill will it not be a law of this kind ? and it this section means anything at all we are interfering with the rights ef property by this Act. A Bill of this kind was brought before the New Bruasâ€" wick Legislature in 1855 and rejected, In 1858 it was again introduced and thrown out on a division ot 21 and 16. In 1859 the Bill was again rejected on a division of 20 and 14. In 1860 the Bill was read a eccond time, and in 1861 the law was passed ; but the, clanse allowing aliens to hold and transmit property was rejected. He made this statement to show how this measure had been regarded in New Brunswick, and he would fa:l in his duty to that Province if he did not point out where this Bill would interfere with their rights. Hon. Mr. McCREA said the Imperial Act made a clear distinction between the powers of the General and Local Legislatures, Parâ€" liament had the right to confer citizenship upon aliens, while the Local Legislature had the power to legislate upon property, and civil rights. The O1st section of the Union Act gave Parliament the power totreat upon naturalization and aliens, while the 13th subsection of the 92nd section reserved to the Local Legislature the right to treat upon property and civil rights in the Province. This Parliament has the right to grant to aliens all the privilegesof British born subâ€" jects; the moment this is granted all civil rights follow. *The question then arises whether we have the right to confer upon aliens, while they are aliens, the right of transâ€" mitting property by descent, which they can do under this Bill,. ‘True, we have the right to make laws regarding aliens, but the right to cofffer civil rights upon them belongs to the Local Legislature. Hon. Mr, MeCULLY said the right of legisâ€" lation in regard to aliens was. expressly conâ€" ferted upom this Parliament in the twentyâ€" fifth subâ€"section of the ninetyâ€"first section of i the Union Act. This Legislature then has the power of conferring all the rights aud priviâ€" ‘ leges upon aliens, that the Imperial Governâ€" ment could have in any portion of the Empire. Itcertainly would hardly be expected that this Legislature would confer any power or privilege to extend beyond. the Dominion itself ; but it is exceedingly desirable that in all the Provinces there should be the same Act making these rights uniform â€"within the Dominion,. ‘Therewers many citizens from the United States, from Germany and elseâ€" where, who catme into Nova Scotia, and con= necting themselves more particularly with the mining interest, found it necessary to obtain. titles to land, but ho bad never heard any . complaints in regard to the operations of this law. He would not say anything more at present, but when the Bill came up in detail for another reading he would give it some turther consideration. Hon. Mr. SANBORN said this subject was brought up when difficulties existed on acâ€" count of raids which took place during the American war, and which rendered a passport system necessary. | It was found according to the law of Canada that naturalized subjects bere held a very unfortunate position. ‘They were naturalized simply for the Province in which they lived, and had lost their status as subjects of the country which they lett. This was brought under the notice of the Govern. ment at that time, and an intimation was given that it would receive the attention of the Government. The law gave the Dominion pertuission to declare aliens subjects of Her Majesty, after tlicy had performed certain conditions. After having given those parties privileges as subjects, the Act should be left for the siwction of Her Majesty, and then those subjects naturalized here, would be placed in a position which they were entitled to hold. The way our naturalization laws have been administered heretofore is rather taking away a right instead of confetring it; it being alâ€" most impossible for naturalized subjects to get passports into the United States at the time passports were required. It was then spoken of as a great grievance, and the Govâ€" ernment should have provided a remedy, wither by representation to the Imperial Govâ€" eroment, or by legislating upou the subject, and declaring the condition of the personâ€"as a naturalized subject. There are only two ways in which they could look upon this subâ€" jectâ€"one is to give aliens the rights and priâ€" vileges which they would have had if born under the rule of England; the.other is to give them certain specific rightsâ€"the rights of descentâ€"of propeity, andi.other rights of that kind. ‘This Bill is quiw‘\unmllnfiwtury, and will rot‘attain the object sought to be attained, that is,to give a status which the law has not before given. helr @‘cloc} Hon, .\lr‘; HAMILTON in moviag a Bill respecting Aliens and Naturalisation, said he apprehended . that ‘the _ general fecling _ throughonut the Dotminion was in _ favor â€" of _ a _ more _ liberal©. policy upon this sulject in New Brunswick than there was in that Provinee at present. It was for the advautage of the Dominion to allow persons coming in from a foreign country to have the same right to hold, convey, or transâ€" mit estate that naturalized enbjects have. This is desirable as titles have often been iimpaired by the fact, that at some former.tims atiens have held property and have not been able to transtait it. It is proposed by this Bill to make the law, tules, and procedure respecting the vaturalization of ‘aliens uniform throughâ€" out the Dominion. ‘These rules are of a genâ€" eral character; they provide‘ that if an alien takes the oath of allegiance to the Sovercign, [ baving been a resident within Canadaâ€"during a period of three years, and ?is oath being adâ€" ( egpted, he becomes a naturalized subject. It ‘ is also provided in regard to married women who are wliens, that i the husband has beâ€" come naturalized the wife is‘naturalized too ; but with reference to gingle women, they will be required to take the oath of allegiance. These being the principal features of the Bill, he would now ask the House to refer it to a Committeo of the Whole. t Hon. Nir. HAZEN called the attention of the hon. mover of the Bill to a section of the Act of Union which provided that laws telatâ€" ing to property and civil rights are to be dealt with by the Local Legislatures. Although he approved of aliens hLolding property, yet he thought this Bill affected property and Cil'“ rights in the Province of New Briunsâ€" wick. 4 THE CAKADIAN PARLIAMENT Th lar PARLIAMENT : 1sr sES8ICN.

Tuursoay, March to an alien, but the moment you naturalize him, the Â¥ery act makes him & British subâ€" ject, and he does not hold property as an ali~n, but as a British born subje¢ct, Theques. tion arises in making a law to qusll?y an alien to hold real estate, whether or not it interferes with the right of Local Govern. ments to legislate upen property and civil Lâ€"gislature has: the power to legislate, and giva alions a status and right in the Dominion wi.ich they did not possers before. We have the right to naturalize them while giving them certain privileges, or to give them priâ€" vileges without naturalization. ‘The first clanse of the Act respecting aliens in Nova Scotia provides that an alien may bold, conâ€" vey, and transmit req} estate, and yet continue to be an alien. ‘That is the status there given to legislate regardiog "naturalization and aliens." Suppose "naturalization" was left out, and we were going to legislate upon the sulsject of aliens. ~It is not supposed we are going to legislate upon the subject of aliens in a foreign country ; the Act means that this the right to confer the rights of a British subâ€" ject upon any foreigner living within%he Doâ€" minion of Canada, and he may become a subâ€" ject for military service and have some other privileges, but as,to civil rights, the power to confer them belongs to the Local Legislature, and we infringe those rights by this Bill. H« believed that this Federal Parliament had no right to deelare that an alien, while an alisn, has a right to inherit or hold property, Hon. Mr. MeUULLY said it was scarcely posible to legislate upon any subject, but civil rights are affected in some wayâ€" or other. ‘Take for instance the pubject of militia ; the Militia Law .concedes ccitain civil rights to voluntcers, Accordâ€" ix:;‘ to the Union Act, we have the right Hon. Mr. TESSIER said they should have some way of deciding what are the powers of the General Government, and. what are the powers of the Local Governments, Section #4 of the Union Act makes provision tor untâ€" formity of laws relating to civil rights in Onâ€" tario, Nova Scotiaand Now Brunswick, hut no provision is made for Quebec.. Why is that distinction made, and that power confined to the civil rights of three Provinces? It shows that the framers ofthe Union Act would not allow the laws of this Parliament to conflict with the local laws of Quebec, and in the case of Ontatio, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick only with their approval. The law should not come into operation until approved of by the Local Legislatures of those three Provinâ€" ces. ‘The hon. Postmasterâ€"General said if the Federal Legislature has & right to legislate on marriage or divorce, it does away with the objection that we are infringing upon civil rights. He (Mr. Tessier) said no, it did not do away with that objection. The question ef marrisge and divorce was a public question, and not a question of civil rights. After the dissolution of marriage, the parties are governed by the laws of the differâ€" ent Provinces. ‘The Federal Parliament has Hon. Mr. MITCHELL said his hon. friend (Hon. Mr, Wilmot) was not quite correct in his statement. He (Mr. Mitchell) was a memâ€" ber of the Government at that time, and they thought it was immaterial to them what any foreign Government might do; it was their duty to deal with what came under their jurisdiction. _ According to the laws of this country all the children in a family get an equal share in . the estate, â€"In this case neither party were legally enâ€" titled to the property, which consequentâ€" ly reverted to the Government of the country, ‘They considered as neither party had a legal right, the heirs in New York had as equitable a right asâ€"the heirs in New Brunswick, thereâ€" fore they decided that all should share alike. His hon. friend asked them to give New Brunswick the benefit of any. doubts arising, i in regard to the power of this Parliament to deal with the subject, assigning. as a reason the state of feeling existing in‘ New Brunsâ€" wick. He thought they should decide upon the legal construction of the Act without any reference to what the state of feeling in New Brunswick may be. He differed with his hon, friend about the peculiar condition of New Brunswick, which would call upon them to make especial concessions on a point like this. Though this Bill had been rejected for cight successive years in New Brunswick, it had been rejected upon very different grounds from what we are now asked to reject it up. on. It was‘rejected because the Legislature of New Brunswick was adverse to extending thosg liberal principles which the policy of Canada now seers anxious to extend to aliens. Public opinion in that Province has chauged with the progress of liberal ideas, and if this subject were now to be brought up in the Leâ€" gislature of New Brunswick, it would be likeâ€" ly to be adopted, and the policy conceded to allow aliens the right to hold property. liou, Mr. WILMOT remarked that a Bill similat to this had been brought up year after yers in the New Bruoswick Legislature, and rej cted. He thought if there was any quesâ€" tio:, or any doubt, in regard to: their right to legislate upon this subject, the Lbcal i. islaâ€" turs should have the benefit ot that duubt, None of the measures which they ‘had passed dining the first part of the Session had hbeen agroenble to New Brunswick, ther«fore, they should be very careful in passing a mensure which had been so repeatedly rejected in the Logtslature of that Province. He then referred to in estate, part of which was in New Brunsâ€" wick and part in New York ; the heirs to the estate who resided in New York cln}}med their share of the property in New Brunswick, which they could not inherit being aliens, and the Government gave it to them ; but the beirs in New Bri g‘ywlck could not get their si:are of the eoua n New York. This he did not consider evenhanded justice, as they had as much right to the estate as the others. power, as it properly belonged «to the Local Legislatures, but anything reganding the leâ€" gality of marriage came within the jurisdicâ€" tion of the Dominion Parlianmeut. ‘Then in the case of bankruptcy and "insolvency, it would never do to apply the same bankrupt law to Quebec as to New Brunswick and Noâ€" va Scotts. _A bankrupt law is not a permaâ€" nent but, temporary law, enacted for the pur. poss of relieving existing dificultics, and in enacting that law it iswbsolutely necessary that it should not be general and universal, as it would hayg to be adapted to the local law, in i‘s reachibery and procedure. ‘There are not the samo difficulties to be encountered in carrsying out this law, as thereare in carrying out the law respecting altens, ind the law of marriage, because in these cases youhave to deal with something which enters into the perâ€" manent organization of society, and when you make changes they cannot be remedicd hereâ€" mas that the . in t priv as n volv tion nevs THE OTTAWA IMES, MARCH 9 1i â€" Hou, Mr. MeCREA said that notwithstandâ€" ing what had fallen irom the Postmasterâ€"Genâ€" eral she case appeared to be ltrTctlymulugouu with the laws of the United States. ‘There it was held that Corigress had no cuthority to deal with the rights of property, they may deal with the naturalization of foreigners and give them all the rights of subjects, but it reâ€" quirâ€"d statutary en@ctment to| enable nlivns‘ to hold or transmit property by deseent.

Mr. CARTIER said that thero was a maxim which beld good in French, though he could not say whether it ran also in the English language, ~It was Le Charite comâ€" mence chez soi. He would thus apply it. In the county represented by the hon. member to whom they hbad just listened, (Lotbinisre,) which â€"was composed of nine parishes, since 1859 one third of its parishes had been disâ€" franchised, since which disfranchisement the hon, member had succeeded in making his way into Parliament, an effort in which he had not found success so easy before. . How was it that the hon.member should be so sensitive regarding Kamouraska, and so indifferent reâ€" garding Lotbiniere, in a third of which the absence of assessment resulted in consequent disfranchisement? Having been elected since in 1861 and 1863 he had neverin his subseâ€" quent Parliamentary career come forward, as he now came, forward, to the relief of these three poor parishes. (Mr. Jolyâ€"They were reâ€" presented here,unworthily perhaps,but still reâ€" presentec.) ‘They were not represented here ; they had taken no part in the choice of their representative, He recalled some of the past representative history of the county of Lotâ€" biniere, the member for which, Mr. O‘Farrell, had been expelled from the House on the 12th May, 1858, and traced the action of successive Governments in dealing with the seat thus vacated ; a case which he contended to be parallel, and again drew a contrast between the hon. member‘s syimpathy with the elecâ€" tors of Kamouraska, who, to the number of 2,000, had created such a tumultuous riot, and who had been guilty of the utmost degree of violence in their predetermination to prevent auy election taking place at all, and his disâ€" regard of the interest of a considerable fraction of his own constituents. He wenton to refer to the murder of Corrigan, when : kohes P n mt ed there. Although deploring that they had waited io long for justice to be done, he would uot oppose the reference of the case to the Committee even now, but he was not disâ€" posed to delay the issue of m writ until the Committee had reported. E T on oo e ie td t tunity of defending an unrepresented Quebec constituency from the murderous charges which had been broughtagainst it, and trusted that the concluding sentence of the motion would be struck out, going at some lencgth into the cireumstances, and contending that the electoral lists had been manipulated so as to secure unfairly Mr. Chapais‘ return, He did not stand there to justify the rioters, or to attempt to screen them from the punishâ€" ment they merited, but they formed only a section of the constituency, and guilty oven as these men were, he contended that they were quite as well deserving of being repreâ€" aented by some other member of their choice as by the Hon. Mr. Chapais. Was it the inten. tion of the Government to punish the rioters, or by m bold and open proceeding to dieâ€" franchise the constituency ? No, they proposâ€" ed to refer the case to the General Committee, with what instructions to the Committee it was impossible to say, leaving the district in the meanwhile unrepresented. _ The Governâ€" ment, so prompt to proceed now, had taken aAbsolutely no steps while the seat was being claimed by one of themselves, since the 1st of July, and had let the months of November and December go by without any proceedings being instituted for critminal prosecutions. This matter had been allowed to stand over although being the most important of a!! s cases of contested clections before the fifouw, because Kamouraska alone was unrepresentâ€" w ie PTERI . â€" . . 7 the individual misconduct of its components, but that if there was any prima facie evidence that wide epread violence or corruption had been manifested enquiry should be made into the cireumstances. ‘In this case the constiâ€" tuency should distinctly learn that the preâ€" sumption of fraud on the part of one of the contesting parties was no excuse for the other taking the law into their own hands, but that the â€"House is the only proper quarter to appeal for redress. He instanced an carly recollection of similar disâ€" turbances having taken place in an election for the county of Leeds, which had necessitated special legislation by the Parliament of Upper Canada, since when the elections for that county: had been conducted in an orderly manner. _ ‘The question as to whether the disâ€" trict of Kamouraska should be made amenâ€" able to punishment was one deserving caretul enquiry by the Committee. â€" ; Mr. JOLY was astonished ‘at the suggestion that the district of Kamouraska was unworthy of representation when it was in the recollecâ€" tion of every member of the House that the Hon. Mr. Chapais, himself a Minister, had already presented a petition praying that he might be declared its representative. But it now seemed that because the Hon. Mr. Chapais could not represent this district it was, therefore, to be declared undeserving of representation at all.

KAMOURASKA ELECTION. SirJOIN A. MACDONALD in moving | ‘That the return of the Returning Officer for ‘ the last election for the electoral District of, Kamouraska, and the petition of the Hon. J. C. Chapais, relating to that election, be referred to the Standing Committee on privileges and elections _to report thereon, and that pending the consideration of the l'nbjcct the issue of a writ for an election in said electoral district be postponed. the The General Committee of Privileges and Elections reported that they had fixed the tays for trial of the following election petiâ€" tions, viz,;â€"For the electoral Division of St. Hy#&cintho on Wednesday, 1st April ; Argenâ€" teuil on Thursday, 2nd April ; Joliette, Monâ€" day,‘6th April; and Montreal East, Taesday, Tth Aoril. i He said that the .established principle was that no constituency should be punished for © Fripay, March 20, 1868. The SPEAKER took the chair at three a‘clock. f PETITION®, 4 Mr. WORKMAN presented a‘petition from sundry printers and publishers .of Montreal praying that printing paper might be admitâ€" ted free of duty, ur at the lowest tate comâ€" patible with revenue requirements. _ Several petitions were presented praying for the adoption of Major Robinson‘s route for the Intercolonial Railway, + rights, He held that it was not an interferâ€" erce with any of those righte, although he quite agreed with some honorable members that it was a subject well worthy of discussion in this House, and they could not be better employed than eliciting the opinions of memâ€" bers upon it. _ it seemed to him that if they held they had no right to legislate upon this subject, they would strip the House, denuding it of many of the privileges, and much of the powers, it was evidently i'ntended it should have, and which are requisite and necessary to discharge the duties imposed upon it under the British North America Act. The Bill was then read a first time, and reâ€" terred to a Committeo of the whole Houss on Thursday next. Thoe Senate then adjourned IOUsSE OF COMMONS. CONTESTED ELECTIONS Returning Officer particularizing the acts of violence to which he had been subjected, and to which he had yielded under protest, These were not the acts of a few individuals, but of the body of assembled electors, as had been admitted upon the petition of 1,500 of the constituents,. In the cases cited as parallel the acts of illegality had been those of but a small minority, or even of strangers from out. side. He detended the ‘Returning Officer‘s case for the legal accuracy ot the electoral lists in performance of the responsible duty which he had assumed. It was not true that 2,000 electors of tho county had been branded as rioters, but it was a tact that 2,000 persons assembled for the purpose of the election had been charged with such viclence as had preâ€" vented the clestion from proseeding, and inte Hon. Mr. HUNTINGDON characterized the position just taken, viz. : that no petition had beenfreceived from the electors, and that thersâ€" fore the House should take no action, as most extraordiuary. Ifthe hou. gentleman‘s desire was gratified by the case being seut to the Committee the final action upon 1t could not be doubtful, for it was impossible that the Committee should advise the district to be disfranchised on account of simple acts of violence. As had been so fully argued by the hon. member for Hochelaga, the case of the Quebec election furnished an infinitely strongâ€" er reason for temporary disfranchisement than that of Kamouraska, the claims of which were the more urgent from the fact of the constituâ€" ency being unrepresented. He could not but draw the conclusion that the hon. gentlemen opposite were ready to change, for their own political convenience, the views they had heretotors entertained upon such matâ€" tersy He should have thought that the Government were strong enough, and were led, with suflicient ability, to enable them to preâ€" serve their consistency. ‘The object of the motion was to disfranchise a constituency for which no supporter of the administration would probably be returned, and to take vengeance upon thuse by whom the return of a member of the administration had been prevented. The Hon. Minister of Militia had shown more ingenuity in making out a case for his friends than of the candour to be expected from his position in putting beth sides of the case fairly torward, and admitting the use in the seryice of the Government of the exasperating inâ€" fluences which had occasioned the excitement. He had on another occasion made similar: charges against the constituency of Shefford all of which proved to be unfounded, for which he (Mr. Huntingdon) had long ago forgiven him, but which might show what amount of reliance should be placed upon such ex parts statements. Hon. Mr. LANGEVIN read the report of the | Hon. C. DUNKIN, referring to a remark which had fallen from the hon. member for Hochelaga, to the effect that although he (Mr. D.) had time to laugh here, he bad not time to do his duty upon Committeo at Quebec, said that it would be very hard ifanyone were to be compelled to defend here his conduct in another Legislature, and denied that any im utation had ever been cast upon his industry Yn dAischarge of his duties in the Local Chamâ€" ber. Hethen proceeded to contend that the assumed analogy between the Knaresboro‘ and the Kamouraska.cases did not hold good, the writ not having ‘been issued inâ€"the former instance until after the Report of a Commit. tee being received. ‘The half excuses and the sentimental sympathy with which the Kamâ€" ouraska ontrages were being palliated preâ€" sented a very dangerous symptom. It was well thata little time should be allowed to pass over, during which heated passion might be cooled, before a writ was issued, for which no one in the County had asked. _ _Hon,. Mr. DORION said that the Minister for Militia seemed to considerâ€"that the quesâ€" 1 tion at issue regarded noi the constiâ€" tuency of Kamouraska, but of Lotbiâ€" i niere, with respect to his observations regarding which latter district he, from loog ucquaintance with its present member, was ‘well satisfied that ifany portion of it, from reaâ€" sons of their own, declined to take part in its elections, they were at least well satisfied with his represéntation. If they were not so it ‘ would‘be an inducement for the assessment, which might give them the opportunity of dis. placing him. But the case was wholly irreleâ€" vant, the question at issue being whether Kamouraska should, or should not, be disâ€" franchised. All precedent pointed to the propâ€" er mode of dealing with such cases by examiâ€" nation at the Bar of the House, a proceeding whose efficiency had néever been called in question. He animadverted upon the conduct of the Kamouraska Returning Officer, a relaâ€" tive ofthe Minister,in disftanchising four of the Electoral Divisions, although he had been reminded ofhis duty in good time. He did not want to justify the conduct ot any rioters, but the exasperation must have been very widespread, and the candidate must have had very fw supporters, when it had been stated that a body of 2,000 were present to prevent the return of the Minister of Agriculture, while he found that the whole constituency numâ€" bered but 3,100. H« went on to dispute the exaggerated character which had been giren to the disturbances, and insisted that, while the due punishment of the rioters was proper and desirable, it was urjust to propose to pun. ish by disfranchisement the peaceful portion of the constituency for the faults of their neighbors. He instanced cases of petitions Teferred to the Committee of Privileges and Elections, and remaining unreported upon during an entire Session of eight months, to show the probable duration of the suspension of representation to‘ which it was proposed that Kamouraska should be subjected, a susâ€" pension which was really the gist of the motion, the last sentence of which contained its measure of importance, ‘There had been, in parliamentary history, one case, and one only, in which the issue of a writ had been suspénded from such causes as the presentâ€" the case of the borough of Nottinghamâ€"and in that case the delay had rfot beén an indefiâ€" nite one, as asked for here, continuing for one month only. ‘There being no precedents in British history, he would refer to Canadian history, in . which, since the Union, there had been numerous instances of riot tar more scrious than that of Kamouraska, and procecded to mention the case, including that of Argenteuil in 1854, of such violent interâ€" ruption and nonâ€"return, which had not occaâ€" sioned delay on the due issue of the new writs, .In 1860 there had been 15,000 names recorded on the pollâ€"books of Quebec, includ~ ing those of Julius Casar, Alexander, Welâ€" lington, Napoleon, Dan O‘Connell, £c.,when the electors were not really more than 5,000, and a proposal had been made considering this fraud and the violence that had disturbed the elecâ€" tion, that the issue of a writ for that city should be postponed during the remainder of the Session, and, when he moved for its issue, the Attorneyâ€"General moved that the considerâ€" ation of the motion be deferred for two days, and then, seecnded by the other Attorney. General, moved for the issue of the writ himâ€" self. He thought that no delay should be allowed to take pldce in‘ taking care that hamoutaska was represented here, Allusion had beén:made to former Kamouraska riots, but in their case the rioters had been promptly brought to trial, and punished in accordance, Punishment to be inflicted by trial at the Bar of the House would be the promptest, the ‘most certain, and the most marked ; and he protested against ntreclng to tis the hands of the House during the inaction of the General Committee. In conclusion he hoped that if the Government would not consent to withâ€" draw the concluding portion of the motion some hon. member would move its omission. Mr., CHAUVEAU resumed tho discussion, (in French) supporting the motion for ghe reference of the Return to the Election Comâ€" mittee, and replying to the arguments of the Hon. Mr. Dorion, It being six o‘clock the SPEAKER then left the chair. and clear them with cartridges ; as was perhaps natural in the constituency of so pugnacious & gentleman who was morever a Minister ef atilitia. ‘The remedy which the Hon, ministee might apply to the parishes he so much commiserated was a very simple one. He had simply to take his seat on that side of the House, and so remove an impression that existed that his policy was likely to lead to direct taxation, the apprehension of which had been the reason for the reluctance of these parishes to assess thomseives, entertaining the ideaâ€"erroneous certainly but prevailingâ€" that their omission to do so would secure them immunity. ,â€"He concluded by repeating some of the causes of dissatisfaction which had existed among the Kamouraska electors. Mr. JOS. DUFRESNE supported the motion in its entirety (after vorrecting some historical statements in which he conceived Mr. Cartier to have been in error) believing that it would boe useless and ineffective if curtailed.

The House then roseat three minutes past midnight. The amendment was then put and the House divided with the following result : Yeas 40; Nays 77 ; after which the original motion was put and carried. ___ ARBITRATOR FoR DOMINION. Hon. Mr. HOLTON asked whsthor the anâ€" mouncement which had appeared in this morning‘s Tiwzs of the appointment of the hor. member for St. John, (Col. Gray,) as Arbitrator for the Dominion between Ontario and Quebec, were correct. After some observations from Dr. PARKER The SPEAKER announced that in order to puta check upon such sharp retorts as they had been listening to, he would in future enâ€" force a rigid observance of the rule forbidding any member to speak more than once upon the same motion. Hon. Mr. HUNTINGDON deprecated the introduction of such animus in debate, and disclaimed for his side any desire for its exerâ€" Hon. Mr. DORION having replied, and Hon. T. D. MoGEE rejoined, in a persona! altercaâ€" tion of considerable length. _ rag _ Hon. T. D. MoGEK contended that not only was the present course of the Government compatible with their former consent to Mr. Chapais‘ petition, but was rendered imperaâ€" tive by its withdrawal, and pointed out the iâ€" terest of the House in preserving the purity of election which had been so violently inâ€" terfered with here. An attempt had bech made to make little of the disturbance, and to show that it was, after all, merely a * peaceâ€" able riot." He had himself some experience of peaceable rioting, and bore some marks about him of its effects, ‘The reference by such winning terms to the effort to throw the Returning Officer from the gallery, and to the pursQit from house to house of thecandidate, reminded him of the burthen of the Irish song, " It was all very well to dissamble your love, but why did you kick mo dowh stairs " (Laughter.) What he considered ‘the worst phase of the riot was its interference with the rights, not of Mr. Chapais, but of every clecâ€" tor who held different views fromâ€"the rioters, and it was against this attempt at tyranny that the House should set its face, He hoped that the amendment would be withdrawn. Hon. Mr. HOLTON replied, insisting that no case had been made out for the punishâ€" ment of a majerity of the electors, although a portion of them were admitted to be culpable, and regretting that the Government had not consented to the moderate,course recommendâ€" :vdnl llvy the members for Lambton and Cornâ€" which it was proposed that the Committ should investigate. _ plause.) Mr. JOLY moved an amendment to the motion by the omission of the concluding senâ€" tence, and in doing $0, said that the object of the amendment was not to secure the immeâ€" diate issue of the writ, but to avoid binding the House to await the report ‘of Committee. He repeated his amendment with explanatory observations in French. : Mr. McKENZIE had often observed that whenever the hou. Minister for Militia was at a loss for argument he had recourse to very extraordinary dissortation, some:imes in the shape of physiological lecture, sometimes of very doubtful philosophy. He had here made lengthy reference to previous elections and electioneering offences, but of all possible offences the worst was the abandonment by a State official of his solemn trust of judicial impartiality in the assumption of partisanâ€" ship, and there could be no doubt but that the Returning Officer here had deliberately disfranchised a large portion of the county, and it was only aifter his persistence in this course . W‘becouo indisputable that any Bir J. A. MACDONALD s#id that the proâ€" posal for an investigation must be admitted as a matter of course, and the only part of his moâ€" tion debatable was its provision to postpone the next election for the district. He believed that to refrain from such a deserved punishâ€" ment for these riots, would be to set a most evil precedent. It could be of no importance to the Government, as a party, whether Queâ€" bec possessed one representative more or less there. . But it was. their duty to see that the purity of election was preserred, ever at the inconvenience of a particular locality. â€" If Mr. Chapais had not been made a Senator, and had prosecuted his petition, his constituency would necessarily have remained unrepresentâ€" ed until the decision of the Committee had been arrived at, and, in the case of Quebec referred to, the Committee had sat for three long years. He‘recounted some of the cirâ€" cumstances of the riot, showing that it was an organized attempt to defeat election, and not a sudden ebullition of excited feeling. If an election were to be held without delay every man who had been then driven by inâ€" timidation from the polis would absent himâ€" self now, and he asked whether, under these cireumstances, the member chosen would be the representative of the constituency. (Hoar, hear,) Bir John concluded by hoping that the House would not set such a dangerous precedent as to sanction the issue of the writ antil after the fullest investigation. (Apâ€" Mr ment Hon. Mr. CARTIER fultlowed defending the conduct of the Returning Officer, from whose report he read further extracts. Ho repudiatâ€" ed the imputation of inconsistency which had been Zast upon the Government, for: their supposed change of opinion since the petition of their colleague had been withdrawn. ‘The reception of Alr, Chapais‘ petition, and its reference to Select Committee, would have ensured the investigation which its withdrawal made it necessary to seck in the present form. ‘The former course, now becomes impossible, would hare been preferable, because by it witnesses would have been examined upon oath, which could not be done by the Gensral Committee. He might, however, frankly state that he had never anticipated that Mr. Chapais would have been declared elected. * Hon. J. 8. MACDONALD had always been in favor of a complete representation .of the people in Parliament, and was now to» old to change his views. There was no evidence that halt of the electors had participated in this violence, and even had they done so that was no reason against the district being reâ€" presented here. ‘The object of contention being uow removed from the constituency, there was no fair presumption of such scenes being likely: to recur, and he trusted this being no partyâ€" question, that the Governâ€" ment would not persist in forcing their motion on the House. acts of violence had been in consequence reâ€" sorted to. No assetted that th: mnumbers alleged to ‘have taken part in the riot had been greatly exaggcrated, and denied Mt. Langevin‘s assertion that thes> numbers had been admitted by 1,500 petitioners. . Unâ€" less these acts had been those of the majority of the electors the wholo foundation for the proposal of practital disfranchisement fell to the ground, but ot this there was no évidince, unless indeed that of the Returniag Oficer. Although there was happily no immediate prospect of any distinction being made here between the special interests of Quebec, and of the other Provinces, it was possible that such might arise, and this possibility alone was n consideration which should be sufiâ€" cient to induce them to secure jealously the full representation of the country. It would have been much better if the inference which had been drawn, that this motion would never have been brought forward had not Mr. Chaâ€" pais been ruled out of court, had been answerâ€" ed by the hon. Minister, instead of the irâ€" relevant matters into which ho had entered being gone into. _ He woulid for thes: reaâ€" sons support the amendment. New York Money Market.
