As tus Tenders for sections <rom 8 to 12 of the Intercolonial Railroad will at once occupy the attention of the Commissioners, it may not be amiss to say a lew words in reference to the general tone of public opinâ€" ‘~~ with regard to the present progress of the work. â€" There is not a man 10 the country whio does not beliere that the construction of the “h‘qfl.il a way which bids tair to drag out the time of its successful completion lor another ten years. The system of accepting the lowest temder has been tried, arrive here toâ€"might. the‘ country, no lees than the words of the Britisly North America Aoct, dewand that the work should go on continuously and with uninterrupted despatch, and it 1s quite time that: the Commissioners should investiâ€" pbhlbo-dmthaauuleo-phi-h of mismanagement and delay, which are aiready destroying all public confidence in the consiruction of the road. The experiâ€" ence of other countries has conclusively crhhnubuhily that on sections 1 4 the men are not paid, and that the work is goung on at a snail‘s pace, and the same, story . is repeated all along the line aready under contract. The interests of (»All business shown the puy-vin? and poundâ€"foolish policy of aowing mey to cut one another‘s Mhtfiu‘h?hhmbfir; the country is sure to pay for it in the end, and with a toletably heavy percentage, too; and in the megawhile the public is going on now, there seemas only too much reason to believe that the predictions of those who maintain that it will be 1880 before a car runs over the road will be fulfilied to the letter. ‘The press ol the Lower Proâ€" vinees is already beginaing to think that they have been gulled once more about the constructicn of the lntercolonial Railroad, and from the article in Saturday‘s Leader, which we give below, is is clear that the need never have been made. As the work dissatisfaction is general in all parts of the country. . The queston which every thinkâ€" ing man will now put to himsel{ is whether in the construction of the road we are to go on forever in th= same imbecile way, or whether we are toslearn anythiog from the experience which is already staring us in the face, and ingugurate another and wiser polhcy?

The country cannot afford to run the risks of the chances with‘ which some of the contractors bave beéen playing. 1t the werk be let to competent men at reasonable prices, this is all the country can demand ; and we are satisfied it will prove the best and truest cconomy in the end." It would puzzie m good many of Sir Fraxcis Hixcas‘ opponents to give any S&tisâ€" lactory reason for their hostlity to his return to political lite in Canada. © Reasons drawn from the personal hatred of a few men in Toronto, and from some vamped up old stories of filteen years ago, are plentiful enough in some people‘s mouths; and about the causes of Gzororz Browx‘s opposition there need be hittle question, but for the bulk of people who can lock at things without being led altogether by the nose in everything which the Globe chooses to dictate the reasonus which make good his claim to public confidence and support are so plain that nothing but the most rabid ignorance ean overlook them. The return ot Sir Fraxcis Hisoxs to Parâ€" liament means political extinction~to the Hon. GzorcE Brow%®, and nobody will be surprised therefore to find him fighting tooth WesternReformers are beginning to grow tired of his leadership and impracticable characâ€" ter, and although they may affect to be unwilling to see him laid upon the shelf, we do not think that there is a single man who is not anxious to see something of that headway made which can never be brought about while Gzororz Browx leads the party. The man may be sincere, but domething else is needed besides sincerity, and if even there has been a Canadian politician, who, with the best intentions has never done anything but ait over addled eggs all his life, Gzoros Bzows is the man. Sir Faixcum Hicors is a man of snother stamp; there is not much u&m, about him, he is free:from the botâ€"headed impracticability which has l-d. everything that Gronosz Broww has lom undertaken abortive and incomplete ; and the return of the Finance Minister to Parliament means a thorough and effective organization of the old Reform party of Canada, which has been looking on help= lessly while Groroz â€"Bzowx and his hotâ€" empty party cries without making a step of progress ; and that is the position in which the Retormers of Western Canada have found themaselves ever since they chose Gzoror Bnoww ‘for a leader. What havre they ever iples have been making a headed young disciples chance to make them good, is something more. Gzorcez Bzrows has been leading his party ‘about like a will 0‘ the wisp, and let uny man look at their representation in the ‘House of Commons and ask himself what is the party toâ€"day, and what are the truits of mess of dfl the best principles;of the party. that genileman continues to te recog= nized as the head of the party.. Fidelity to party leaders is something, but fdelity to were needed to show how unsafe the man is, just look at the disciples whom he has bred up in his schoolâ€"the tyros who sit at the feet of: Garmarisu. There is one respectable man among them, McKexzs (we do not speak of Braxs, who has ideas of his own, and is compelled to make the best of his situation in company not much to his taste), but the rest of the mtu,:'::fom and <M1us and Bopwzruinsâ€"the Grzones Browxs in pefloâ€"what is the country to expect from men of that class. . Sir Fraxc:s Hicxs is a Reformer who has always hbad clear aims, and â€"knows the road to success; and his accession to the Ministry will do more to advance liberal Wi-film,h@m Browx could he had the formation of the Cabinet in his own hands. The blackguard character of the attacks which have been made upen _ the Finance Ministerâ€"trumped up stories about public and ion fundsâ€"is enough in imuhhnm for decency or m'u\fiz\\fl(im Brows has ever been to cling to. Such a kind of opposition might be expected from some of the vile class of newspapers which repre mark, or has been able to educate the mase ofthe Clear Grits ot Ontario down to a level of basemess, which it is not pleasant to Democracy ; but either the managing direcâ€" tor of the Globe has this tme overshot his It is needlessâ€"to say anything about Sir Fraxc:s Eirxoxs‘ capabilties as Finance Miniiter ; he is not a new man at the post, and bis fitness is just as clear as the paucity of other candidates, who could accept the office with any chance of securing North Riding ot Renfrew put up, as well suited to represent their interests, or who will be in a position . to do so more effectually ? Nor does he come among them as astranger ; Rer ‘rew and the whole ralley of the Ottawa are under old obligations to him, nor is he likely to forget how cnee before they stood to his back at a critical time. We have no reason to complain of the preseat represenâ€" latives in the House of Commons of this section of Canadaâ€"they are as much alive to its interests as any wen could beâ€"but unluckily for us they havre always been swamped in the House by the preponderating influeace of the West, and it is quite time that we should have some man in Parkaâ€" ment and in the Cabinet not only willing but able to secure an attentive hearing tor Itho legislative measures and public works which are so much needed by this section of Wirn reference to the Puiser‘s visit to the Parliament House on Saturday last we omitâ€" ted to mention that uis Rovar Hronususs was officially received in the Senate Uhamber by Joun Frxumos Tarmos, Keq., senr., as Clerk of the Benate, P * smnow fell at On the 26th ult, about three inches ot A tew fnkes of snow fell hore yesterday.

He has our sincere sympathy, as must every man who is thus made ‘the victim of lawless vengcance, To the Editor Toronto Telegraph. THE INTERCOLONIAL RAILWAY. Sir,â€"I observe an article in your paper of the 24th ult., referring to the progress that is being made upon the sections of the lnter= colonial Railroud, now under contract, to the effect that the contractors are making a rapid and satisfactory progress with the work, so much so, as to receive the Lighest laudation trom the Commissioners, and a recommendaâ€" tion from Mr. Fleming,the Chief Engineer,that . the percentage held as security for the final completion of the work, be reduced from fifteen to ten per cent., thereby leaving the public to infer that the prices for which the work has been let are ample, and Mr. Flemâ€" ming bas acknowledged his error and mistake in his estimate of the cost of the road. .. Now, sir, permit me, as an old contractor, and .one who has spent the last four weeks in comâ€" pany with other contractors (who are prepared to endorse, to the fullest extent, what I say,) in examining the line of road from River du Loup to Truro, to disabuse the â€"pub lic mind, and set it to rights with respect to the matter above referred to. In the first , place the contractors acknowledged (for I have conversed with them) that their prices are far too small, even after all the leniency that can be shown them, and a&ll the advantages that can be giventhem by change of location and grade, amounting on some sections to twenty thousand and on others to one hundred thouâ€" sand dollars. ‘Whether the country will 16â€" ceive the benefit of these changes I am not prepared to say ; but in the face of all these advantages the contractors still complain that gross injustice is being done them. The cause of this complaint is, they say, the mode gn my opinion very properly adopted by Mr. leming) of awarding theâ€"monthly estimates by paying, not according to the schedule of prices made by the contractors, which, in some instances, would far exceed the bulk sum, but a percentaze of the valus of ths work done according to the bulk sum, which mode has received the approval of the commissioners, and is viewed by the contractors as an arâ€" bitrary and unjust way. Mr. Editor, your readers will perceive at a glance when they know the facts that no other mode of paying the monthly estimates would do, for the conâ€" tractors have invariably commenced, and are carrying on the easiest part of â€" the work, the most difficult being as yet ‘untouched, which will cost, at least, one hundred per cent. more than whaf they are doing. My object in giving contradiction to the articles referred ‘to, is that the public at large and contractors may not be misled and deceived by it. The work now in slow progress will cost from twenty to fifty per cent. more than it has been let for. And I would adâ€" vise contractors, before bidding for that porâ€" tion of the road now advertised, to examine it closely for themselves; it is very bad maâ€" teria!, and the gruu{trtn of it from 10 to 20 m(lec from any seitlement, and to which rowds will have to be constructed to bring in supplies and material for masonry and bridges. The latter will have to be brought a long distance. The people and ratepayers of this country should be made ‘intelligent with respect to the probuble cost of the Intercoâ€" lonial Ratlroad, and not be misled, and I believe it would be to their inkm:z in point of economy, that fair and remunerative prices should, in the first placeg be paid for its conâ€" struction, for no individual, however wealthy feels disposed to spend what he has hbouroJ hard to accumulate to build a railroad for public becefit, nor do 1 believe it is their wish or desire that he should do so. a Permit me in conclusion to say that it will be impossible for any contractor to complete the work now advertised within the time specified at any reasonable price. Mr. Editor, the above statements are true, and 1 defy successtul contradiction, Yours, respectfully, ._______ _ CHINA AND GLASSs â€" BIVETING: Mr. Josx Molxtrras Musrzo has returned from his tour through Western Canada where he has been highly successful in the practice of the wonderful art of mending glass and china by means of rivteing.SHe will remain in Ottawa for about a month,ywhere he intends to practice his new ‘system.
