Th Ottawa Cimes. Wiy* For in cresting reading matier isfaction exists throughout the Frovince with the existicg state of things. The trwie of the country is sound and prosperâ€" ou, and the people generally appear to be quite aware of the fact. Our commerce is extending itself in every direction ; our manufacturing industries are daily growing m extent and importance. Our fisheries have never been so successful as during e season which is about to close. ~Our republican neighbors have not quarrelled, and scarcely have shown displeasure with us, The Globe is every now and then unconâ€" currency _ difficulty _ has _ practicâ€" ally disappeared, and the Nova Scotia question his so far righted itself, that: of the cighteen members electer .to the House of Commons to oppose Confederaâ€" tion and vote down the Government that curied it, sixteen are now in line with the Hon. Messrs. Tupper ind Howe, sustainâ€" ing the general policy of the Government, ‘aund giving their support to the statesmen whose energies, beyond those of any other men, were directed to bring the Province of Nova Svotia within Confederation. All this has been gâ€"ll and wâ€"rmwood to the Glohe ; and accordingly it loses no opporâ€" tunity of showing the vindictive animuaA thit is within it, as well as the mortifica tion it feels at such a state of things. The truth is, that with scarcely an exâ€" ception, every measure denounced by the Globe has taurned out in its practical workâ€" ing, a blessing to the câ€"untry ; and every public man whom it has abused, has not only risen abore the abuse, but whenâ€" erer a chince has been aftorded, his conduct and policy have been condially en dorsed by the people. Even those public men who have been acknowledged failures,such as Mr. MeDougall and Sir A. T. Galt, only failed signally and completely after the Globe cewed to denounce. themâ€" The premier of Canada has been assailed both in his public and private capacity with a virulence and malignity as unwearied as it his turn«d. out impotent, for at no perâ€" .od during his long public career was Sir John A. MeDonald hel i in higher or more universil estimation than he is at this moâ€" ment. : Sir George E. Cartier has for long years been a sad thorn in the fesh to the llonorable George Hrown, but at nodln‘ was the influrnce of : the energetic chief of the great French section of the lominion so <thoroughly & or his services so mnm throughout the length and breaith of the land, as they now are. The Globe exâ€" husted its abundant vocabulary in abusing the Hon. Mr. Howe, because, to use acommn term, he " accepted the situation," baving first obtained what he consigered just and honourable terms for his nitive Province. It sneered at the Hon. Dr. Tupper, as a man without influâ€" <1co and without a supporter in the House pEkW ADVERTISEMENTs AMee+ 38, Bparkse Stres 1N WANT OF A GRIEVANCE. It feels annoyed that so much : satâ€" hare vrentured to protect our trom Norvs Seotia Yet somehow these men have suffered remarkably little damâ€" age from the repeated assaults of our conâ€" temporary,. _ Mrc. Howe has successfully defended his line of conduct on the floor of the House, both as regards Nova Scotia and Mr. McDougail, and is still Secretay of YÂ¥*ate for the Provinces. With respec: to Dr. Tupper, the position of the assailâ€" in still morestriking contrast. During the last session of prrliament the latter not only proved hims If one of the ablest and most eloquent debaters in the Honse, but by his tact and firmnessâ€"his perseverance and ability= did as much, and perhap» more than any oth: : member in the House, in shaping and in piving form and consist ence to the policy which has been so sucâ€" cessful and so beneficml to the country. So much so, that every Nova Scotian member who came to parliament to oppose him, with one, or at moâ€"t two exceptions, now stands by himâ€"sbhoulder to shoulder. In the same manner, the Globe had nothing but contempt and derision for the Hon. Mr. Archibald, while Necretary of State, but when the opportunity pre sented itself, the county .. that in : chosse nim again as its represenilalive. This was the answer it gare to the repreâ€" sentations of the Globe, and the approving voices of the whole Dominion when he was appointed Governorot Manitoba, only made that answer more telling and em ness of his cireculation and the weight Of his political influence,‘ but judging by events, both past and present, the Globe and Mr: Ge»rge Brown havre been among the most prodigious of failures. Nor has Mr. Brown been one whit more successful in his recent escapade. tHe followed Sir Francis Hincks to Pembroke, to distort facts and misrepresent evreryâ€" thing he saidâ€"only to=tind his energy thrown awayâ€"and his malicious misstateâ€". ments full stillâ€"born before the eyes of the people of the Dominion. At present the | @lobe is bestowing its attent.on, in its usual spirit, to be tollowed with the usual result, upon Mr. Langevin. The shafts of our contemporary it is true are always pointed with sufficient renom, and shot always with a will, but somehow they tail to pierce the intended victim‘s doublet, evren when least upon his guard. Yet want of success does not seem to dis courage, though it occasionally renders h. m somewhat desperate. And why has the Clear Grit Corypbeus been so decided a tailure? The reason we think is not far to seek. That he should oppose the preâ€" sent government is natural enough. And that he should expose its short comings is Any one who reads his articles on this subject can see in a moment that the ob ject is not so much to improre the charâ€" ucter of the working of the road as, to inâ€" jure the Company ; and, most of all, to destroy, if he can, its manager. Thid fact is patent to +very one, with the solitary exâ€" ception of the Hon George Brown,and the consequence is, that the attack has about as ‘M&‘uum general public as a shower of peas upon a modern ironâ€"clad. Une would naturally suppose that the taking of the ctensus is a thing altogether beyond the region of politics, and that legitimate. But the misfortune is, ho has not been contented with legitimate warâ€" fire. In every attack he makes, a malâ€" ignant animus is evident to every body but himself This is specially shown just now, in the manner of his assaults upon the Grand Trunk. wmmumhrp: every intelligent and patriotie man, of every sect and party, would be anxious to strengthen rather ‘han weaken the hands of the Minister ‘eniusted with that imâ€" portant and most responsible work. A man of senss, even if he had not much sincerity or principle about him, would at any . rate T tures tilk the work opening fire upon it. He might then do so with effect and perhaps some show of reasen. . But this would not*uit Mr. George Brown, and, accordingly, he labours with all his might to thwart the efforts of the Minister of Agriculture at the outset, by deliberate and ridiculous misrepresentation of fact, and, as far as in him ! es, creating suspicion, jealousy and illâ€"will towards a work which can only be successfully and correctly performed by uli-tin.fi its favour the goodâ€"will and confidence of the great body of the people. Mr. Brown knows well that Mr. Dunkin is public servant, that he is bending every energy of his mind to secure sc-* more full, accurate, and reliable than any that has ever been taken in Briteh Am erica, and we can only say, that m seeking to create difficulties the Globe is not only acting a most unworthy part, but one which will do injury only to those whom it professes, and, we beliâ€"ve, is so indiscreotâ€" ly anxious to serre. But then the Globe must have a grievance, no matter what the consequences may be to friend or foe or to the best interests of the country, and is thus strengthening the very party it is so sincerely anzious to destroy. We hare receire© a visit from Mr. A. Brunner, a wellâ€"kncwn Beigian engineer, who represents an eminent company carryâ€" ing on engineering and metallurgical operations at S.raing in Belgium. The Seraing works were first established early the present century by John Cockerill, an enterprisng Englishman. _ At first they were of sm«ll extent and limited capacity, and little did the proprietor dream of the mmense proportions to which his manuâ€" facturing establishment was destined to at A GIGANTIC BELGIAN MANUFACIORY. tain. But as years went on the success of the Cockerill works became more and more marked, until they obtained a reputation for the excellence of their manufactured goods, which became known throughout Europe. _ Branch establishments were started at Antwerp and St. Petersburg, and still the original works at Seraing grew, until now they provide a living for nearly 25, 000 persons.

He seizes <upon a paragraph trom a Western paper, in which it is stated that ‘"the school trustees fling dirt at one another, call each other pups and threaten to throw somebody out of the window." Now, Mr. Editor, the Cifizen knew that this was not true, and that only one of the ten members of the Board had used the lanâ€" guage, and flung the dirtattributed to the: whole. But instead of vindicating the nine unoffending gentlemen, he says that the western writer @was quite c rrect in saying that the School Trustees fling dirt at one another." It may suit the objects of the Ci/izen to class the innocent with the guilty, for in that way the disgrace inâ€" stead of being borne by his friend alone, will be fastened upon all alike, and it will not appear so very strange that when the rest are foul.mouthed that person should be no better.

What "the scattered rules of dirt throwing‘" may mean is clear to the ment=l optics of the i t ganius who now enlightens the publi throuflb the columns of your contemporary, but imagine he is about the only writer in the community, or anywhere else, who has attained to that sublime elevation. â€" But to proceed, this able censor, fearmg apparently that he had not explicitly enough held up the whole Board to public oonut:a‘ps, goes on to say that * where so many the Board are clearly well matched, it would be ob viously unfair and invidious to point out any single member â€" with the view of hold. ::i him responsible to the ratepayers," th.s he repests in another form, add â€" ing, * we should hesitate beforé holding up one member as more responsible than another." â€"After having delivered himself of these misleading words, he assumes that nevertheless, " all the members are actuated by a strong and common desire to promote the educational interests of i SoiThexd of men who wb to oo rigat is com men w to ao right, ponded bat "of.

Now, I would like to ask the Citizen wuat he knows, personally, of the doings of the Board beyond what he has loam-dfiuntbooflan{ minutes commuâ€" nicated to him by the Secretary? With the exception of the last no reporter from h'up.zh- attended the mâ€"etings, and then there was no dirt thrown, no pups mentioned, and no threats induiged in, and, I may add, that only twice, or at most thrice, during the year has any roptehon'- ice, during the year sible nlb... us think. Mr. Editor,. th grossly insulted _ sereral . gentlemen aguinst whom not a word of reprobation, in r?l’ud to the discharge of their duties as Trustees, can be truthfully uttered. Will the Cifizen undertake to assert that more than two members have at any time during the year given utterance to u single Tho Board of School Trustees. dirty expression, or that more than one has threatened another with violence ? If not, how dare he presume to assuult the whole as he does? â€" is it fair, is it genâ€" Ml{, is it even decent to muke such charges? . Nay, is it not in the highest deâ€" gree unjustâ€"I had almost said infamous â€"â€"to publish to the country that a number of poaou} who have alw«ys borne a high character for probity and scrupulous proâ€" priety of deportment, have become so deâ€" moralized as to be a shame and a d.sgrace ‘wtbod:ly? If the Cifizen wishes to till the with rowdies he cannot .dom better course than to m-kfo the mem ‘ who have a Pmporuprd or their reputa tion responsible for the misconduct of those who hive not. If he had lectured the guilty only, and expressed his fear that their misbehaviour would bring disâ€" credit upon the BoudL 1 would not have telt much surprised, but I must say that his strictures seem rathcr intended to paliate the acts of the &nrfiu at fault by making the whole number coâ€"bearers and sharers of blame than to give an honest judgment. MA- to the " howâ€"not.to.do‘"‘ business caâ€" pacities of the Board, I may say that the moofinog of Thursday last was the only one at which the matters for which the memâ€" bers were called together were not transâ€" acted, and even that evening was far from wast.d, for the discussion was in the largest degree useful, and i. more fully reâ€" | purted, would have put the public in posâ€" session of imgflam facts and op.nions in regard of condition and manageâ€" ment of the schools. ‘The members were thereby informed of each other‘s opinions, and it may be presumed that when next the topics th:n mooted. come up for tre itâ€" ment there will be such mutual concesâ€" sions as will ens=re agreement, and conseâ€" aequently thereon, on improv:ment in the schaols themselves.

Sir,â€""Shoo Fly," in yesterday‘s issue of the Citizen, in addition to a resume of statements and assertions respecting the Collector and other gentlemen, and to the tirade of abuse launched against the Times and its Managing Director, actually conâ€" descends to attack my humble self on the grounds that a fair report was not rendered by me of the last meeting of the City Counâ€" cil. * The paragraph in «Shoo Fly‘s" com munication which I particularly object to is the following : "Now if tho'#m-in so honest, honor»ble, qndunifluoflmd, as it would make one i Snd mot report the" procestongs or . the t did not report ings 0 C.ty Council correctly, when the case of the City Collector came up a few days ago ?

Bismarck made casual mention that the rem«ins of the Government now at Cassell, were the only ones recognized by Europe, but that he merely made the . remark to establish the diplomatic situation, l.unng no intenâ€" on to meddle with the internal manageâ€" ment of France.. _ Thiers immediately anâ€" swered that the Government which preâ€" cipitated France into the abyss of war so foolishly resolved upon, had forever ter mmt«i its existence with its fatal career at Sedan, and it would be for France but a semblance of shame. Bismarck did noet contest the fact and made with me an examination of the following question of armistice: To furnish France time for the expression of her will as to the Govâ€". erument she should chouse to hare ; to allow entire freedom for elections during the armistice; lastly, to permit the reâ€" victualing of besieged flllCOI, and especiâ€" ally of Paris. Bismarc seemed to have no upjection to allow any of these questions, and after an interview which lasted four hours I had the right to suppose that we should agree on all points, and thus conâ€" clude the first part of the pacification so ardently desired in boththemispheres. Our conferences were three per day, as I was impatient to achieve a result which would cause as much noise as the cannon we disâ€" tinctly beard.. Bismarck assured me as to the Jrinciplo of the armistice that he deâ€" sired as much as any of the neutrals to end hostilities, and that he desired to see esâ€" tablished in Francea power which might comtract lasting emgomcnu. We were thus in accord on essential points,. I thus in accord on the essential points, 1 demanded from 25 to 30 days armistice, as this time was needed for the votes and reâ€"union of the elected candidates. Bismarck did not contest this, but seemed to accept 25 d':z-. As to the elections, Bismarck assured me they should be free in the departments cccapied by the Prussians. He made, however, a re servation concerning that port.on of terriâ€" tory of the French near the German fronâ€" tier, and German in origin. I immediately unswered that the armistice must not be delayed by the argument of questions which come within the provinces of a treaty of peace. â€" Bismarck said it was better not to discuss theése ?uen.ionl, and that be, if not admitting electoral 4gitation in | the provinces, would net refuse that they be represented in a future National Assembly, by aâ€"notuble, free in opinion as ‘othor repâ€" & se e o o CE __ 44 sha resentatives, We theq arrangou as 1w LBC conduct of the army. Bismuarck referred this to the Generals and to the King, and this was the conclusion arrived at, namely : Belligerents were to stop where thay were at the «igning of the armistice. Lastly came the question of revictualling, and here again Bismarck wished to consult the military commanders ; so matters were deferred to the next day. When, on the third day, 1 saw Bismurck, he seemed unâ€" m and pre occupied, and asked if I any news from Paris. I ) said « No." He then said,â€"@ Paris is in revolution, and a new Government is proclaimed.‘" I replied,â€" " If ‘disorder for the moment fiu triumphed, the people‘s love of order and patriotism will soon restore order." I was torced, howâ€" ever, to suspend negotiations, but soon reâ€" ceired proof that l was not mistaken ; I saw Bismarck that night and resumed ‘neâ€" gotiations on the subject of revictualling. I explaining the principle that at the end of the armistice each belligerent must be in the same condition as at the commenceâ€" ment. . Bismarck, speaking in the name of the military leaders, pronounced against the revictualling, unless he received a m.lâ€" itary equivalentâ€"I demanded. what he meintâ€"A fort, perhaps more than one. I immediaty stopped giumrck. ayingâ€" It is Paris you want? Paris, our f:rio, our hopes, which you are not able to vanquish. _ after fifty _ days of siege? _ Arrived here, we could . go no furtber. . I saw the military spirit all powerful in the Prussian resolution | against peace policy, and asked Bismarck for leave to see Favre and advise with him. Bismarck charged me to declare that he would not interfere with the elections, even if there was no armistice, and would let Paris communicate with Tours on the subject. . The Govermment was informed of what had occurred, and they desired me to break off negociations on the ground of the refusal of revictualling, and to legve Versailles, which resoluton I imparted to Thomon must judge of the conduct of the gerents, and the efforts be made to secure peace, 'hichwunotlauhrm:fi the nation, but through the fault of late Governmun‘! the. existence of which was the fault of in abandoning its destinies to such hands.

An English paper says : The war has exercised a favorable effect :ion British shipping. Thus we find that, ereas the tonnage for British vessels enâ€" tered at British and Irish ports in June last was 926,806, the tonnage of those enâ€" tered in Julz was 1,052 667, and in Auâ€" gust, 988,437. For fon'zn vessels the ‘ tonnage entered was 490,255 in July, and 451,368 in August. As regards vessels that cleared our ports, there was but a slight increase in British, and a small diminution in foreign shipping. . The presence of the French fleet has scared away the larger portion of the German shipping.: Last month only 60 Prussian vessels entered British ports, as oomruod with 240 in August last year. Only 16 d vompares with 59 iast your. â€" The aftect as wi t year. is still more plainly shown in the vessels which cleared our ports. There were only 11 Prussian vessels as compared with 277 last year, and 375 in 1868 ; and only one Hanoverian vessel, as compared with 79 last year ; 11 trom the Hanse Towns, as against 83 last year ; and none from Meckâ€" lenburg, although there were 78 in 1869. It is significant that a larger amount of French shipping has cleared our ports during the war than in tim‘e of peace.
