A correspondent writes us respecting the inadequate pay of members of the Civil Service. There can be no doubt, that the salaries paid, more especially to the Deputies and Heads of Branches, are too small, and we believe that the public generally would like to see the condition of the Civil Service improved. & be Ouava Cimes "The Grits seem bent on offering every possible insult to the members of the House of Commons.

Thirtyâ€"five years comprise a long period of time, yet there are those amongst us, still in the prime of life, who ean recollect the bright interesting face of England‘s young queen as it then was, and can remember how many generous and chivalrous emotions were sroused in the minds of her subjects, when in all the ERIDAY, MAYX 24, 1872 A CHANGE OF TACTICS " AWWERTISEMENTS.

Can we blame her because ever since that dark Decem» ber day, the pomp and pageantry,of royâ€" dqhnnbondmfnltoh-,mdlho has permitted the more gorgeous ceremoâ€"= nies of the Court to be performed by others, while she has contented herse!f with discharging the less showy but more important duties of her position? | Let us rather trust that though nothing we can do can bring back to our Queen the happiness she has lost, or awaken to life once more the sound of a voice that is still forever, the love and loyalty of her subjects all the world over may comfort and sustain her, and help to render our Sovereign‘s future years tranquil and We know there are people who sneer at this sentiment of loyalty which is so deeply seated in the hearts of every true British subject.. We know there are some who think, or affect to think that it savours of snobbery and flunkeyism ; but the loyalty whith, exists among . the British pooplo\ghy is utterly devoid of anything of the kind. We love Queen Victoria because she is worthy of our love. We revers her becaure as Wife and Mother, and in all the relations of life, she has afforded an example which may worthily be followed by women of every nation and of every class. We love her because the memories of thirtyâ€"five years endear her to us, and because we have learned to look upon her as our friend as well as our Sovereign. But we also revere her and held her name in honour, because she is the~representative and head of a ‘mdmz'mupmâ€" tutions which we hold y precious, and which hiwe tended to make not only the Mother Country but the whole Empire great and glorious, and have saved us alike from monarchical despotism on the one hand, and uu\ tyranny of a mobocracy on the other. We pray "God save the Queen" toâ€"day, and we do it with all our bearts. But when wo utter those words we mean something more. We not only implore Heaven to save and protect the Queen, but also to preserve to us her people, that unequalied form of liberty and those poâ€" litrcal instututions which have stood the test of centuries and of which she is the Thus inspired not by sentiment only but also by the teachings of experience and common sense, let us celsbrate with loyal and grateful hearts the fiftyâ€"third anniâ€" versary of the birth of Her who now so worthily represents the majesty of the British Empire. Let us trust and pray, as all true Canadians m#st suâ€"ely wiil do, that she may yet be spared many years to reign over us, and that when at length she exchanges an earthly crown for which is ‘incorruptible and fadeth not away," she may leave behind her, children to rule over us, of whom it may with truth be said "These are worthy descandants of good Queen, Victoria.‘"‘ © ()ur Canadian correspondent gives an interesting account of the circumstances under which the guarantee is given by the Imperial Government to the loan of â€"£2,â€" 510,000 for the Pacitic Railway. During the negotiation of the Washington Treaty, the Government of Canadaobjected to any further opening of the Canadian fisheries to Americans, unless some mpo-ding‘ advantages, such as the restoration of ‘the Reciprocity Treaty, were sconceded by America. When the Treaty was signed without this m_h:‘.un Canadian Government notified to Imperial Govâ€" ernment that it would not accept the Ireaty. The Imperial Government urged ghniuhmldbomphdhthi-m of the Empire, but Canada refused. After some show of resistance of this kind, howâ€" ever, Cauada notified the lnsperial Govâ€" erament that if it would a loan aamann,u.,mpm Railwa«y, the Treaty would be accepted.

The hon. gentleman gave a brief roviow‘ of the history of the Insoivency Laws, in the ; Province of New Brunswick.* He argued that it was the wisest policy, not to repeal a law because it did not â€" work :fioch-rmll, but to consider how it ight be amended so as to promote the public inmt:.’ thHo‘ found t.hs(:Mdt.h.; pnblicopinien e country was . io en maresenentinnst in the ; and under those circum mitw-notwbotot:&d it altoge â€" ther. The result would lead to a stite of things far worse than could possibly arise under the law. He did not wish to see any creditor in a position to harrass and crush a debtor who. was acting honestly. When a man fuiled honestly the law should step in and distribute his property among his creditors, and then he should be allowed to take a fresh start. Hon. Mr. SANBORN arose to a point of order. An address.was not permussible with reference to the subject matrer of a _ Hon. Mr. WARK consented toallow his motion to stand. G e M The order of the day, the second readâ€" ing of the bill to repeal the Insolvency Laws, was then taken up. Hon. Mr. SANBURN went on to say that the responsibiiity which rested upon the House was of no little momoat,mdm to be exercised. The House was upon to consider a %nuuon on which there had been given during two sessions an expression of the sentiments of a maâ€" mof those who lmoont _more «diâ€" the people of Dominion. : In the mflnm of Quebec and .Ontario the law been in force for eight years, and the vote whiohwutizene!uwhcnontho question may fairly considered to illusâ€" trate the feelings of the majority of the m. of those provinces. His hon. who had just resumed his seat had stated that he had Leen at the birth and‘ death of three bankruptcy laws in New Brunswick ; a very significant fact inasâ€" much as it showed that in his province, as elsewhere, such laws are of a temporery nature and are simply created in the first instance for the purpose of doing away with exceptional evils which grow upon society. . ue had been surprised to hear the hon. gentleman, who was generally so accurate, state that our Insolvency Laws were so perfect that they had been adoptâ€" A rou i Hon.

The Act of 1841 | was enforced in the United States, and | that was long prior +> the enactment of our;law.

With reference to our law it was nothing of the kind.

When the question before | the House came up in the other branch, || last session, there was a majority of 31 |‘ from Ontario and Quebec in favor of reâ€" | peal. This session, on the final vote on | this question, the present Bill was sup~ | ported by the large majority of 36 from | OUOntario and Quebec. It was true the Maritime ropresbnutxv:u B'lel“;; for the most part, opposed to the Bill, but neverâ€" theless it l‘x’nd ‘passed successfully. He read from a newspaper an advertisement of a trader who announced that he had commenced business again, having uns dergone repairs, legally and morally,"â€" showing how callous people became under the existing system of Lnknlpwy-oon- | sidering it rather a matter for amusement. He also read the conclusion of the memoâ€" rial of Montreal merchants, who declare that the law is ‘‘injwious to the interests of the country generally," that it is so s | complicated by amendments from time to | time that further amendme:mflqr i | wmill only tend to further emb nt," â€" | and thas it was better to eunact a new law h | * so that settlements may be arrived at â€" | withouts the intervention of Official Asâ€" signee or third party."

Dr. CARRALL said that he rose with a feeling of much embarrassment to Weom ' to assume a position entirely antagonistic to a gen:â€" tleman for whose legal gcumen and arguméntatiqe power he felt the highost respect. He need not tell the House that there was a time in the History of the worldâ€"not a very remote time ; when a condition of impoverishment was one of obloquyâ€"wher imprisonment for debt was in vogue and the word .©" bankrupt‘‘ was synonymous with the words rascal and rogueâ€"or to quote the more expressive language of his hon. friendâ€"with *« comâ€" mercial immorality.‘"‘ It must be remem:â€" bered that there was formerly considerâ€" able difference between the proper appliâ€" cations of the terms * bankruptcy‘"‘ and insolvency."

His hon. friend had quotodmmonl statement to show the former oxrrimoo of things in England, and alse referred to the experience of the United States. With respect to the latter countay he found that first they borrowed the bankruptcy law of England and put it into opération for a limited term of five years ; but the law was not continued but suffered to go by default. In 1841 the United States, in their wi found it necessary to reâ€" enact a new toy law and that surâ€" gi.vod ..tgl' f.ylenn. 1867, the United tes still felt compelled to pass a general en enee o it great Anglo Saxon m:;fi: been in the direction of enacting laws for the nfi: tion of bankruptoy ; and in face of like those it was idle for his hon. friend to say, and endesvour to fortify himself by quotations from Lord Eldon to try and prove that there was no necessity for syoh enactments. When England herself, the standard bearer in every prog:luve movement, had enforsed & bankruptcy law,â€"when the United St :tes found it ad. visable to do the same, the hon.: gentleâ€" man would erase all laws from the Canaâ€" dian Statute Book and in that way go conâ€" trary to the experience of the wisest comâ€" mercial ufiou‘g the world. He (Dr._’c.} believed that princti oppooex 0 -tbhvmmmo&b;d frateornâ€" ‘ity, of which his hon. friend wus so disâ€" tinguisbed an ormament. He did not think, hawever, that the agricultural interests of which he was as strong an adyocate as any one inâ€" the House, ?froved of â€"the measure that was now under consideration. His hon. iriend, when uforrin‘ht: the votes on the question elsewhere, kept carefully out of sight the fact that there had been only a mn)ori of three altoâ€" gether on the division fact, it was a mere snap vote. He did not wish to go back to the condition of things that exâ€" isted before we had a bankruptcy law in d aprend io Ner Abhesiiy ind\ Mebly; is A 10 AGt y r : been actually driven across mer on account of the harshness of their creditors. He did .not wish to see any system in operation, calculated to harass and oppress any ypright man who had been simply unfortunate in busiâ€" ness. It was said that rogues rushed in and took advantage of the present law, but would things be®any better, accordâ€" img to his own showing, if it were swept off the statute book altogether. Those -wbomen‘znd in business would have the same interest as ever in disposing o! their goods, and would be as easily deâ€" ceived as now by unscrupulous traders. He felt suré that the House would pay no heed to the sophistry and appeals of his hou. friend, and would give a vote in favor of the necewity of having at all times an equitable means “-tblu\g:nen to carry _ luk un C cce aoue la castama on legitimaté business, o;:m.s‘o‘lv- when they fail ad. .9 &. * 2. Hon. Mr. SMITH said that he must en: dorse a very large portion of the remairks. that hai fullen trom the hon. mover of the bill with respect to the injurious efâ€" fects of tho pre #04 | :@~ «ll6éâ€"wa‘s in favor o"a vink.uptey doe it‘we‘¢in obtaia one that will not ecucourage lascality +m â€"ng the commercia! community. The law, as it now stoad,. had certainly that tendency. There was a time when on account.of the failure of the crops and over importation they have honestly it was nflrry for anumber of unfortuâ€" nate men rtabmtriptcy law ; but that time had passed. The law was inâ€" tended for an exceptional order of cir cumstances which no longer existed, and ; nn{ who should happen to get into diffiâ€". culties would be enabled to obtain relief even if the measure is repealed. We were now living in a very ;{)rooporoun state, we had a larg: amount of money at our disposal, a&nd believed that with the assistance of Providence the Domin ion bad a long and prosperous career beâ€" | fore it. When we had on the statute book a y which en@bled men to take ad« vantage of ‘their positisn, and become dishonest, hbe felt it his . duty to vote for its repeal. . He showed how a dishonest man could come into a village and enter into competition with the mer« chant who had been there for many years, carrying on a safe and bg‘timsto business, but who would soon find himsel{ unable to compete with one. who started with borâ€" rowed capital which he would soon refund, and cared nothing for consequerces. That trader would eventually 50* into difficul« ties, offer his creditors 20‘ cents on the dollar ; and if that was refused . at the outset, he would threaten them with an assignment, â€" when fxobsbly they would receive nothing.. Of course, the creditors â€" would have to yield, and a few days later he would come out with a flaming adver tisement headed * Bankrupt Stock for. Sale at 50 per cent. below first cost." The natural consequence would be that the honest trader would find himself under=. sold, and probably in the end irretrievâ€" ably embarrassed by ciroumstances arising from an iniquitous law. The spezulat »rs who went into business for the purpose of reâ€" maining only a few months were the class of pe sons really protected by the law. It was understood throughout Onâ€" tario that the bankruptcy law will die out next year, and he was quite positive that there would be an immense number of unscrupulous dealersin the interval, who would go into bankruptcy ; and he intendâ€" ed keeping a list of such persons with the view or showing the House next sessionâ€" in case it was not now repealedâ€"the effects of a measure which encouraged rash, disâ€" honest speculation. For these and other reasons he would support the B.ll now before the House. _ © _ N e ayn Hon. Mr. WILMOT did not believe that any man should be oppressed when he was unfortunate in business, and that would in ‘his opinion be the effect of a system which did not give him an opporâ€" tunity of dividing his property equitably and getting clear of his liabilities and commencing anew. His hon. friends had relerred to the prosperous condition of the country, but .“fapm a monétary crisis should occur in London on account of a drain of gold to pay the French debt, money would go up everywhere and we would find ourselves very much embarâ€" rassed in this country. He had known the price 0° lumber and ships go dow 1 to lrulnoully low raes in consequence of a panic suddenly arising in the British money market, and the people of New Brunswick were suddenly large losers at the very nioment they thought they were . in & prosperous condition. In legislating for the country, Parliament shouid guard against contingencies and not be carried away by exfoom.iom that m&ht prove delusive.

Mr. MoDOUGALL said, in explanation, that he had no pbjection to a culler ob â€" taining $1000 a year, but he had to an un â€" necessary tax upon the trade as the result of too many cullers. . + > Mr. SIMARD was well acquainted with the business of the city of Quebec, and felt satisfied that there were not too many cullers. It was true that the merchants Erefemd some| cullers to others. The ule was to take them in rotation, but when the feet arrived in the spring there was necessarily a demand for cullers, and supernumeraries were actually necessary. There was a greoat difference in the income of the culler.: The averative incomes might be $400, but some men, who were favoured b‘y fsrficulu' merchants made as much as $1;400, while others did not make more than $300 | i *% i# f Mr. CURRIER believed that the hon member for )(Aatuw, wasquite co:rect in what he said. Four or five cullers would be quite sufficient to do the whole timber measuring of Quebec. He wanted the fees reduced one half, and if a culler could not make a living he could fall back upon some other businees. The tax upon the lumberman was excessive. _ Mr. SIMARD spoke of the circumstance of one hundred veszels arriving in one day and of the necessiry rush of work on such occasion. He thought the cullers should be selected by ballot, and that merchants should not be permitted, so to speak, to select their men. % * Mr. CUKRIER said the ballot system would not lessen the culling expenses to the Inmber merchant. a Hon. Mr. IRÂ¥INE sail that the system was a bad one. ‘He thought it very absurd that the law was such that a merchant in Quebec was compelled to have his timber measured by men in whom he had no confidence, there was no guarantes for impartiality. ‘I‘he merchants were fre quently obliged! to protest them:elves by haying _ their ; timber _ reâ€"measured.

There should be an inspection of timber as weli as of fish, flour, bil or leather. He thought the Gorernment measure was the best possible.. He thought that inspection was necessary as a guarantee to the pu:rchasers of both quantity anu quality. Mr. TOURANGEAU thought there cerâ€" tainly should be some Government super â€" vision. Clerks didâ€" become more or less incapable by age â€" He could see no gre«t objection, however, to the number o lhcensed cullers being reduced to 20 | _ Hon.

Mr. MILLS moved for the second read ing of his Bill for an Act to render memâ€" bers ‘of the Legislative Councils and Legislative Assemblies of the Provinces now included, or which may hereaiter be included within the Dominion of ‘Canada, ineligible for sitting or voting in the House of Commons of Canada. He strongly ad« vocated the passage of his measure. It had been alleged that action in this mat ter would be an interference with the liberties of the people. Nothing could be more incorrect. All law, if that objec tion could be maintained, would be an interference with oJnypulu' liberty. He was firmly persuaded that the system of dual representation should be abolished. Mr. BELLEROSE‘8 attention had been called to the remarks of the hon. member for Bothwell, and ‘he did not agree with him. He moved the three months‘ hoist, and it was hoisted accordingly, yers, 74 ; nays, 55 Hon. Mr. BLAKE mored the second reading of & Bill for an Act to provide for the trials of Controverted Elections before Judges, and for the prevention of corrupmt practices at e‘lections for the House of Commons. Mr. BLAKE said that ex necessitate reiand a fortiori, and because it had been adopâ€" ed in England, trials of controvertedielecâ€" tions should take place before the judw. The practice saved time and money. We of ha i some experience of how the present | 2 system worked." In the Hocheloga elec ; ; tion c:f two sessions elap:ed before the | ,, right to sit was determingd. As another | ; example there was the Manitoba ,double | , return case, in which it was found that | ; Eooplo would have to be brought down ere at immense expense to give evidence | , before a Committee of this House ; they | , would have to be brought, in fact, trom the ends of the earih to enable the House | , to determine maitters. Bring ng witnesses to Ottawa was virtua ly denying justice to | j both the elestors and the elected. The | , rich man might be able to afford to bring bhis witnesses here while the comâ€" | j paratively poor main would be comâ€" | j pletely unable to do so. A locul | ; tribunal would find the witnesses on the spot, and justice would be cheaply renderâ€" | â€" ed. The present plan was to toss up for a chairman, and the House might just as | , well toss up for a decision as to the electâ€" ed party, whose rights they were to decide | : upon.. The feeling of party on both sides | , ot the House created jealousies.. Uur lives and honors were intrusted to the juaigs,, who <were beyond corruption, and beyond suspicion. and could we not entrust to them the right of docidl:iin controverted election. A law, which is not acted upon is an imgosmre on the oou;g. He wanted an effectine mode of resisting violations of the law. â€" Hon. Sir JUHN A. MACDONALD said that the t.ne of the honorable gentieman would not feel a responsâ€" in the country or in this House. He stigimatized, as he said, the people, the country, this House, ind the five members of this House, selected by ballot, and sworn to do "‘their duty, as being capuble of perjury. and corruption. _ He believed that the Committee on Privileges and | Elections hadâ€"given as fair, as honest, as correct decisions as it could be possible for any tribunal to give. It was for Par: | liament to respect its own legislation.. The Senate and the House of <jommons had last session passed an Act for the Govâ€" | ernment of elections, and were they to throw their own leT]Al' ation aside even | without a> trial ? ntil there weed | Dominion u‘-l{udgu svtci ra law would | be altogether wrong. ‘The judges at preâ€" | sent were appointed bytholool[a‘l!:h”- | qures and this duty of trying controverted elections as affecting the Dominion Parliaâ€" | liament they had no right to me. & ' if they could be off the § bench to go "erust and west to try conâ€" troverted elections. There were, say, 200 | members in this House, and. there might ‘| be 50 controverted election cases, and ; would it be wise or expedient to take from their ordinary and every day duties : fifty judges to investigate, try, and decide upon such cases? There were no more ; ,jdmth country than the country ‘| required for its ordinary bu:iress. . _ _ _ â€" Hon. Sir JOHN A. MACDUNALD move 1 that the Bill instead of being read a second time, be read this day three months. . Hon. Mr. MACKENZIE said that a wrong was no sufficient reason MmmE‘Mm He thought tb.:g:::mtof&bo Honorable Miuister of J was fallacious and improper. He thouzht the House had a right to impose duties on the Judges. He thought that aioJud&mlght try half a dozen cases. As for proposed seven Judges of a Supreme Court at the agihl. being exâ€" pected to go on circuit to ritish Columbia to try a controverted plection was ridicuâ€" loys. ;iiim Sir GEORGE E. m&m was Englanad shortly after passage of the law relating to thke trial before Judges in cases of contested elections, and had conversed with several English Judguistothoopnflmofllnhw,nd they were unanimously of opinion thet it was bad policy to divert them from their proper duties. The measure in Englind was merely on its trial. When it was ascertained how it worked there, someâ€" thing, in a similar direction, might be : done in this country. It was expected that a law would certainly be adopted in flpmtlo‘hhm&ombluhsuihm law for the Daigl‘u: ‘with reference to elections. When mung:w made for the Government of Manitoba and to erect it into a province it was not exâ€" pected that we should have the pleasure of so soon receiving British Columbia into the bosom of the Dominion. After a few words from Mr. RYMAL. Hon. Mr. IRVINE wanted to know how there was an Act on the Statute Book, which was so inoperative An Upposition‘ candidate was always most desirous of unâ€" seating his adjyersary. Yet nothing was done, usually, under the m’pn-«z":nt a man could not be unseated for pt practices. _ These would prevail no matter what law should be enacted, even if that which the hon. member for West Durham propores came into effect, He himself knew of no case in which a member of this House had been unseated for corâ€" ruption. Hethought the presen: system of trying contegted plections was not & good one. Hodid(nott'hinkfi“l r lectian Comumittee was a proper tri to try such cases. It had been sait that the proceedure in England was merely on trial. He t that there the law was pmodln:b:filn”uy. It merely was the duty of Judges to carry out whatever laws were passed here. If the law had not been carried out. it was important that somp tribunal should be ooqmtmo?upt would carry it oyt. Every specie of corâ€" ruption should be put down, as much as possible. 3 Mr. STREET saiid the question was one | of principle, and if it were desirable to im â€" pose extra duties on the Judges, they sb uld receive an extra allowance in ponsideration ‘of these extra duties. It ~certainly, in his opinjon, would be an exceedicgly expensive mode of procedure to , bring . witnesses from British Columbia hither in tho' case f câ€"ntroverted elections He was in f.yor o! the meaâ€"ure introduced by the honourable gentleman opposite. â€" He thought the Bench 0i Untamio was so exâ€" ceedingly pure that he would have no hesitation in instrycting the i::pl with the trial of controverted ions. He mfl:flhflo of :;no oriepce, a measure of this importance, but that it should be procseeded with at once. The House divided, yeas 66, nays 49 . Hon. &r“.lo'g.
