L We regret that ill. health has necessited for a time at least, the re tirement of Mr. Alex. Robertson from the active duties of journalism. For the past two or three weeks he has only been an occasional conâ€" tributor to the editorial columns of the Tmzs ; but his medical advisers have perâ€" suaded him to abandon all mental lavor for awhile. It is no wonder that nearly twentyâ€"two years of almost uninâ€" terrupted service on the press, fifteen. o! which have been spent on daily journals» should be followed by a short rest both for body and brain.

The people of Kngland know that this country is bl.ssed with prosperity. Our harvests, they know to ‘~ ‘~unteous, our settlements to be a : r exports increasing. . While 0 listrose is stmking down all the i~‘~~~ on the other side of the Lakcs, > ~ Kngiish peoâ€" ple behold this country â€"«tending its productions on the «~:.» c‘ a banking system that, sound as that of (Great Britain, pays all demands in goid. Our labourers. our mechanics, our farmers, our merchante, all enjoying comfort and many accumulating wealth, presents, y the goodness of God and the wisdom of the Government, a spectacle of prosper. ity that had never been known amongst us until that most noble of Sir John Mac»= donald‘s public services, the confederation, brought to our doors the personal obliga« tion which we owe him for the high state of our credit in the great money market of the world. ly whether or not he can afford, without wniting lmelfdown forevor a subordinate ‘ io such as Mr. Mackenzie, to place between him and the succession to the honors of Sir Jobn Macdonald, the masses of a great party govarned by resentments operating with the constancy and bitter« ness incident to a brutal outr: ge on not only politiecal sympathies, but on also per» sonal attachments. â€" But in presence of the spectacle of prosperity which we present, up rises the devil of political agitation | English capiâ€" tali»ts, accustomed to the c«lmness, the justice, the moderntion. that give dignity to political contests in their country, wit» ne«« the violence of the strugg‘o here with startied wonder. They beboid a faction of the House of Commons treating the Npesker with contempt, and carrying their violence to the offter of an indignity to the very throne! They hear Judges of tha land befouled with abuse that would be improper to put upon scoun:irels; they hear the Ministers of the Crown degraded by salsebood to the level of the veriest knaves; they hear the representative of the Queen not only subjecied to scurrility, but outraged by even threats! ‘The com» posed, the conscientious, the dignified, opinion of our fellow subjects in Great Britain, recollecting that the men who are guilty of all this are the successors of re» bellion, begins to take form among the cautious and enlightened men who conâ€" trol the money market, in apprehensions of civil violence ! Two renegades from the party of the Constitution, are to be given, by the Grits, the cffice of Minister of Justice!â€"An ad« munistration so well manned, may be exâ€" pecird in rive the country the benefit of, at a.l «souts, "a strong Government." of our unexampled prosperity begin to lose their power to maintiain at its recent level, the credit of our people in England. We are, therefore, not surprised to learn that dispatches sent over the cable, anâ€" nounce that the overthrow of the present Government in favour of the vioient and unscrupulous men who seek to grasp the reins of power, will add further to ihis un fortunate state of things, by such a dams age to the position of our merchaats and bankers, as may bring the consequences of Grit violence to every househcld in the Mr. McDonald, of Pictou, has won goldâ€" en opinions from all manner of men. . His speech is declared generally here, the \pooch of the debite, A letter now be» fore us from Whitby, (atario, concurrs with many others in showing that he has aroused enthusiasin throughout the whole country. The damage of the sturm which the Grits have excited begins to show itsel! now. The brutality that represerted th* Prime Minister a purchased villainâ€"purâ€" chased for $4,500 â€"has taken the form of a curso, seeing that it hns : come home to «* roost."‘ _ A nd between apprehensions of wiolence on the one hand, and of official robbery on the other, ali the known facts W In face of the distimutiou nalure that seperate men into political narties, it i, impossible to understand the course pur. sued by those who have committed themselves in Parliaoâ€"out to a betrayal of their friends. ‘The b :terness of the.conâ€" flict now mging here, :s an evidence under their eyes of its bitteruess throughout the country , and tells them in a way there is no evading, that they have seperated themselves from th«ir aupporters by an act that never will |, never can be, fors given. If any one <| hem were to return now to his home, an i permit himself to be drawn on the subj ct ot his treachery» into altercation on the streets with a fan of his former friends, he would unquestionâ€" ably become expose i to risks of personal violence. And though this ferver of re~ sentment will, of course, cool in the course of time, it will for ever remain an impasâ€" sable obstacle in the form, it not of hate, of at all evenis distrust. Is e The renegale is cut off from his former support amongst his constituents. If be do not hold, as a in .n of sense,‘ under the circumstances â€"hould, that he hss committed political suicide, how can he be supposed to have escaped it?! From the Grits he can‘ expect nothing; for having once served their use, he will be put aside by them in contempt, if not made by them «n object of the detes» tation with which men are said to regard what they bave rnined. Epurned in conâ€" temptuous dislike by those by whom he has been lured to destruction, he wlli never again be truâ€"ted by the men whose confidence he has betrayed. Like Byron‘s Alp he must "stand alone, a renegadey" politically dead and buried ; but with a pbysical life remcining to witness that whenever honest men speak of i/« career; they will do so, when not in anger, in scorn. The Grils descrvo credit for untiring zeal. Tueir latest »vidence of that quality is a petition trom some people of this city, urging very coolly that the Gov«rnment be opposed by Mir L wis. The cooviness of this request is a litile remark. ole when it is remembered that the men who make it is remecibere it would, if .an morrow, range ti Mr. Lewis oppo knows, full well, : everything to the 1.<uâ€"â€"to the m.nâ€"who made it s0; that ti o value of ::s property, the prosperity of 1. busiwess, the ‘nterests of its ~peratives, wou!d suffar more or ees from the timidity of capita! that would THE RE® aliows and in misery THE COST sod t ti ils ut on fe t side of â€" Lewis foderm; rc _ Gwe W f certainly hoid here, on the succession {0 office of a body of violent and unscrupu~ lous men, who, to say the very least, are not likely to prove the safest guardians of of the Confederation. The honorable member for Lennox is like Joey Babstock, "Nly Sir, devilish sly.‘ So well played on Thursday night was his affection of high motives in betraying his party, that it was not generally laughed at! Horace tells us of that perfec* tion of art â€" which < hides _ tiself i but that simple old Roman never dreamt of that higher art which can palm off pretence so well as to make some people _ think _ the _ artist believes in it himself{! When he our Joey returned to his room on the night of his speech, how he must have chucklei to himself, as Dickens‘ major did when he announced in confidence to himself, that "Joey Babstock is sly sir, © devilish sly." _ ‘The Joey Babstock of the House of Commons broke down, however, in the harmonies of his rol:. A man who takes such veory high grounds, must beware of speci.l pleading, must be just even to generosity. And this our Joey neither did nor was. When he stated that the Report of the Royal Commission said, Sir John Macdonald * had violated the statuâ€" " tocy law» of the country," Joey broke down in his pat to the depth of even falsehood, _ And his statement in that orse is not only false in form, but it is false in fact; for the transfer to candi« dates in 86 constituencies, of an aggreâ€" gate sum of $45,000 for expenses cannot be held to come within the definition of bri« bery an doorruption. When he says, in re« ferenc« to a resolution on bribery and corâ€" ruption : * When a few days ago I heard " the Right Hoorable gentleman move " the resolution, I could have wishked for Any one wanting office, from the keepâ€"| ing of a pound to the counselling of the Throne, can obtain it from the Grits in exchange for such influence as will obs tain a vote in favor of Mr. McKenzic‘s motion. L@pse Grits are included in this notico ; but it is addressed especially to the supporters of Sir John Macdonald. Nota Bene : A large number of shrievalties in Ontario, now in the gift of Mr. Oliver Mowatt, and "timber limits" without limit, in the gift of Mr. Scott, are always on hand ready to be delivered to lobbyists for value received in reclaiming the faithâ€" ful who shows signs of backsliding. * Now is the appointed time‘â€"if not ‘ the day of While the Grits as a whole are not parâ€" ticularly British in their language, ideas, and modes miny of them love every thing g that it savors of the lanp of our fathers, Although, as a party, they are wild obstructionists, without a princia ( ple, without a policy, some who act with them are, nevertheless, reasonable, prac«.. tical, and sincerely anxious tor a safe and able administration of the Government. Now, we are at an utter loss to underâ€" stand how these classes of men can con sent to carry to extremities, an opposition that, if successful, would so far as we have any evidence to the contrary, throw the (Government into chaos. We ask these gentliemen to consider, before they vote on the resolutions _ now be« fore the House of Commons, what manner of men, what line of policy, is to t :ke the pl:ce of the Cabinet and policy of Sir John Madcmald ? Whait the Grit leaders and party as a wholo propose, the public generally has never heard. Ail that is known of their views, outside their secret counsels, are gathered from what they have offered from what they now opposeâ€"hostility to the Confederation, to the Intercolonial Railâ€" ‘â€"very shame that the introduction of this "resolution might have been postponed until after the conclusion of this * debate," the honorable gentlieman allows himself to be caught, in blending the part of Joey Bibstock with that of the model of deportment, the pick of propriety, Mr. Pecksnift. The traitors who have deserted their party are politically dead. As "nothing to damnation can they add," let each of them, now,â€"the Grits having humbugged them about the Federal officesâ€"place the opportunity for his reward in the hands of Mr, Mowatt by killing a Sherif in now opposeâ€"hostility to the Confederation, to the Intercolonial Railâ€" way, to the Pacitic Ruilwwy, and to every other great measure of public good that is at present advised, or that heretofore has been accomplishei, by the Governâ€" ment. With the light before us, we hold thit the gentliemen who support Mr. Macken« zie‘s motion, have committed themselves without knowledge. Before a proposition involving a change in the Government can be voted on with that foresight proâ€" per to an act so grave, we think it h solemn duty of the House of Commons to determine in the first place the pringiplss, the measures, which are to succeed those to be displaced _ The aspirants for the reins of Government, attempt to seize them . while in complicity more or less direct with men guilty of crimes that, if not violations of law, are certainly out, rages on decency and good conscience. Their political character concurs with their moral associations in demanding that they shall n>t receive from the House of Commons the high trust which would be virtually placed in their hands by the pas= sage of Mr. Mackenzie‘s motion, until the country shall have first been informed what they propose, who, politically, they The Grits are not known as a party in the sens» to make them eligible as suc«» cessors of the Government. Opposition to everything that an administration pro= poses, defines no principles. Bupzl;o gentleman who does his duty in ment to the interest and safety of the country, is in a position to hand them over to the keeping of men of whoee opinions and purposes he has no specific knowâ€" ledge. Someof the gentlemen who are likely to be brought into office by Mr. Mackenzie are known to be annexationâ€" ‘ats ; some of them are known to be opâ€" posed to a continuance of our connection 1 with Great Brita:n ; some of them are known to deem our constitution subject to improvrement by the substitution of that of Illino#s! 1t is not t.o much to say that the Calinet contemplated as a succesâ€"or to that of ~ir John Macdonald, would con~ tain some men of narrow views sand b.iter prejudices. Wise caution demands, under all these ciroumstances, that the House of Commons look before it leaps, that while it may be all very well to strike down Sir WHAT ARE THE GRITS? JOEY BABSTOCK. John Mscdonald, the men to take hi* place ought to be brought within thes knowladge of the country, of the Com~ mons and of the Crown, under that fullâ€" | ness of knowledge of their principies and purposes, which is necessary to bring a party within the operation of constituâ€" tional usage.

The wouldâ€" gnu-in immediately ‘ran off at full epead towards Major‘s Hil!, but was in» stantly ;uuuod by Constables Lattimer and McKenna, who had been attracted to the spot by the cries of the wounded man After a desperate struggle, the policemen succeeded in overpowering McDonald, and the hand cuffs being adjusted, the fellow was soon safely lodged in the celis of ths Police Station. Enuis in the mean time was removed to the same place, and his wound examined by Dr. Gibb. It appearâ€" ed that the knife had entered the back near the left shoulder blade, severing an important artery, from which blood flows ed very profusely. Yesterday morning he was removed to the hospital and subject« ed to the necessary treatment. The frinonor. McDonald, was taken before the ‘olice Magistrate yesterday morning, and remanded until the opinion of the media cal men could be ascertained. McDonald has been in the employ of Messrs. Bate &‘ C»., and had hitherto borne a good char~ acter. It is believed that a too free indulâ€" gence in intoxicating liquor has been the indirâ€"ct cause of his present troubles. ‘ A large and agpna’n&in audience were present last night at the sixth concert of that institution, and to say that all were well pleased with the entertainment af. forded, teebly expresses the pleasure they experienced .

He might first reler to an interview which had taken place during his absence between two meml«rs of the Government and these gentlmen. He had been told that these gentemen had been induced by representafions made to them by the late Mr. Waddilzton to visit (Ottawa. They came wher nearly all the members of the Governmerit were away, and finds ing that their _ proposals â€"were entirely premature they . withdrew. Subsequently, two or three mqnths afterâ€" wards, two gontlemen with Sir Hugh Al« lan came to Ottawa for the purpose of submitting new propositions, as was unâ€" derstood . ‘The members of the Govern« ment met that deputation. At that time the Government were fully decided as to their policy. They were decided that nothing could be done, because they knew they had not the power to enter into any engagement with those gentlemen or any others. But he might say frankly that it was considered a very favorable opportu« nity to obtain from those gentleman some idea of what amount wourd be necessary to grant as a subsidy for the constructi n of the road, because the Government was about to submit to Parliament a proposiâ€" tion on the subject. ‘After talking the maiter over for some time, the members of the Government asked the deputation to submit a proposition setting forth the amouns for which the road could be constructed. They refused, and the question was put by the deputaâ€" tion. "If wesubmit a proposition aud the financial conditions are salisfactory to the (Gove:nment have we any hope of the proposition being nooept.ed." The answer of Ministers was «* No," Then the gentleâ€" men perhaps supposing what our object was, said " We decline to submit any ‘pm costtion." Ministers did not obtain from oettion." Ministers did not obtain from them any proposition, and the gentlemen then retired. When Parliament met two acts of incorporation were submitted, and they boch passed through C »â€"mmittre and this House,and would venture to s»y there was no member of this Llouse ever receiv« ed a cent for supporting either of those bills He â€"might | siy, in _ passing with respect to that exiraordinary cortes, pondence of Sir Hugh Allan, that be would not, for all the writing of the corres pondence s worth, be the author of that correspowlence. (Cheers). _ What took place after that? Hon sentlemen knew perfectly well that those two Acts passed the House, and another Act was passed, by providing which, in the event of the (Government not being in a position to make _ satisfactory / Arrangemen‘s . with either of the companies, they were to exercise the power Parliamâ€"nt gave them and «@astitute, under it charge, a new company. Before the Government went to the elections, the matter was to be discussed as to what was to be done, and when they went to the elections it was understood then as previously that mo Awmerican influence should be allowed to enter into or have any control in those charters. (Cheers). Such being the case, it was considered of the utmost import ance, for the reasons stated in the evi« dence and he was glad to believe his vie#ws acoorded entirely with the evidence taken, that the charge should not be given to eicher of the companies, but that the Government should put forth every efâ€" fort to secure an amalgamation of the twe companies. . The reasons had been stated. ‘They perfectly well knew that! the Allan company was to a very great extent a Montreal company, that the McPherson company was an Ontario.Toronto com«. pany, and such were the feelings that had grown up with reference to these two charters that to have given the contract to either company would have affected the Viuon of parties and of the Government. hat was more, it was considered absoâ€" lutely necessary for the purpose of securâ€" ing the construction of the railway by Ca« padians, that the whole of the capitalists should be united in one company to carry out that great work. (Cheers.) That was the desire of the Government before the elections, :::‘ it was evident th:;:n ;flbrt had n e to accomplish t object, and mu supposed that that effort m beeu nearly consummated. ‘That was the state of affairs when the elections took place. It was very important now to con~ sider what was the true state of the case when morey was advanced by Sir Hugh Allan. â€" Sir Goor&: Cartier was in negotia« tion _ with Hugh Allan. _ Sir George wrote a letter in which he agreed that on the unlwuon of the two Companie=, the Alian pany should have the same number of Directors as the Macpherson Company, and that if any« thing should occur to prevent the uu{â€" gamation of the companies, them Sir George said it would be right and Broper to give the contract to the Canada Pacific, which was Sir Hugh Allan‘s Company. That communication was sent to thofililn- ister of Justice. What was his answer ? His answer emphatically and di«tinctly was +‘No, that proposition cannot be ac« cepted.‘" (Cheers.) He could quiteunâ€" derstand why Sir George Cartier, a rez‘rou sentative of Lower Cansda, should have much less objection to Jluln‘ that charâ€" ter in the hands of the Montreal Company thin Sir Jobhn Macdonald would have veen, because there were local and seon tional influences at work. The Minister ot Justice, however, in answer to the proâ€" position, said, "It will not and shall not be done." ‘The result was that the letter written by Sir George Cartier, was withâ€" drawn, and the proposition then stood in this way : On an amaigamation of the companies the _ Macpherson _ should have five Directors, and the Allan Company four‘directors on that organiza â€" tion, and it was understood that as far as the influence of the Government was cons« cerned, the preferences of Sir George and Nir John were in favor of Sir Hugh Allan being President of the amaigamat» ed Company. After that understanding took phoeAnnd after elections were over, Sir Hugh Allan‘s Company exhibited their readiness and willingness and anxiety to go with thatcombination. Mr. Abbott on behalf of Sir Hl:tl: Allan‘s Company, visitâ€" ed Toronto for purpose of arranging with Mr. Macpherson that that union should take place. Mr. Macpherson ob« jected on two grounds, one was that theré was strong suspicion that Sir Hufi Allan wanted to place as far as his influence with Allan would go, the Company in the hands of persons in the Ullt«i Btates who wereâ€"connected witn road enterprise and the second was that the question o} Presidency should remain open for the decision of the Directors of the amaigamâ€" ated Company. If hon. members would re.d the correspondence that took place between the two Companies and the wovernment in reference to that subject, they would fint there was the greatest anziety on the part of what he mxghtu:ll the Icntrod(l:-fi; to carry out ulfllpmzfion, w 20 ’the other hand the Ontario Company was resisting the amalgamation. (Cheers.) Those negotiations failed. What was then left for Government to do? Why to fall back upon the powers given by the Parliaâ€" ment. They did so. And what did they next do? Did they take up the Montreal Company ? They id not. They agreed that in this new company the diftarent Provinces of the Dominion should have the right, privilege and opportunity of tazing stock in thisenew company, Mem. bers of Government, including his colleague and himselt of New Brunswick, are re» quested to look around for capitalists and railway men to take a part in the Pacific Riilway enterprise. A circumstance took place that was so entirely in accord with the terms used in one of the despatches, that he felt called upon to refer to it beâ€" cause it showed what was the spirit of the ieader of the Government in organizing that company. _ When Ministers were leaving tor thoeir several Provinces for the purpose of securing capitalists to engage in thit work, the leader of the Government said, * W hatever you do don‘t advise men to come in who will be under the influence | and control of Sir Hugh Allan "" (heers.) Lhere was the greatest precaution and care taken in respect to that matter. The sovernment took large and extraordinary powers for the purpose of effectuaily exâ€" C:uding American influence from the Comâ€" pany, and tinding that the stock list must ve approved by she (Government, that to prevent the ponnb.u.lx of tranfers of stock being made, thus place power Contnued from first page in American bonds, there should be no : transfer during the first tive years without . the assent of the Government, and aiter ; that period without the mssent of the whole company. (Cheers.) liis reasons for coming to the conclusion that the Minister of Justice could not have been under an obligation to Sir Hugh Allan or feel himself under any, was that every siage in the proceedings of this matter, every step made was for the purpose of tying up his hands, and could net weli have been if _ the Minister _ of Justice â€" was under. any â€" obligation to _ give the _ contract _ to that company. [Cheers]. It was because he had seen the course taken by the Minister of Justice, in reference to that matter and he.had closely watched the proceedings and ha1 not be absent from any of the meetâ€" ings, at which deputations was present, he came to the conclusion when the charge of a corrupt bargain was made that it they | were time they would have been some exhibition of the fact in these letters written by Sir Hugh Allan to his confidential friends, instead of a state= ment that Government had decidei that Americans should have no influence in the company, that Sir Hugh would have exs pressed strong feeling in respect to that matterif.there had been a bargain, and contract â€" entered into between himself _ and _ $8ir Hugh Allan, He‘(Mr. Tilley) did not know Sir Hugh if he would not have done so, â€"Under those ciroumstances he felt it was impossible that any such agreement had been made. Something had been said about the attiâ€" tude of Sir George Cartier in relation to this railway. This brought to mind a conâ€" versation which he had with a gentieman towards the close of the Session. He reâ€" collected, just at the close of the session of 1872, a gentleman coming to him who was not a member of Parliament, but who mixed a great deal among members of Parliament, and saying that there was & very strong feeling in Montreal and in Lower Canada generally against Sir George Car, tier, and amongst his own personal and political friends. He (Mr. Tilley) asked what was the matter. The gentleman said the representatives from the Province of Quebes, living upon the northern side of the St. Lawrence, were lugoly interested in the construction of the Northern Coloâ€" nization and the North Shore Railways. They felt that at that moment the success of those undertakings was to a certain ex~ tent hanging in the balance, There could be no doubt about these roads proving a success if the Pacific Railway were comâ€" menced at an early date, and in accord> ance with the agreement made by this Parliament with the representatives of British Columbia. There was an impresâ€" sion, said this gentleman that Sir (George Cartier being the solicitor of the Grand Trunk Company, acted as a friend of that company, and there was an impres« sion, as a . gentleman of â€" high position,said that there would be nothing done that year and it would destroy two Governments to build that railway. The expression of that gentleman was taken as the opinion of Sir George Cartier, and he believed that led to the impression in Lower Canada that Sir George was not prepared to take hold with vigor and energy the completion of the Pacific Railway, which would secure the con. struction of the North Shore and Northern Colonization Railways which were comâ€" petitors with the Grand Truok, and that the interests of Lower Canaia would be sacrificed to the interest of Sir Goorge Cartier. That was a wrong impression he (Mr. Tilley] knew. He told tgo gentle. man in question that he did not know Sir George at all if he would be a party to the _ violation _ of _ the _ contract entered into : between . the _ Dow minion _ of _ Canada and _ Briush minion _ of _ Canada and _ Briush Columbia. Let them eoquire what there was in the agreement made between the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Militia and Sir Hugh Allan, by the letter of the Minister of Justice of the 26th July, Let them examine it to ascertain what the influences were which induced Sir Hugh Allan to advance this money. Was the Macpherson and his oomrcny did not en« joy. On the contrary, if there was any diflan&g,d‘ the advantages were in the of the other company, and did â€" they _ hear . that _ Mr. Macpherson for the sake of obtaining those advantages, gave ten, twenty, thirty, or fifty thousand dollars or a cent ? Was it rational, was it reasonable that Sir Hugh Allan should feel himself called upon in order that he should get this considera~ tion in the amelgamated company, to give $162,000 or as was said $300,000 1 Com mon sense declared that such could not be the case. (Cheers.) They cams now to the organizatin of the new company. Had Sir Hugh Allan the controlling power in the new company ? He had not. He ruifiou which he occupied under the etter of the Minister of Justice of the 26th of July, such as would induce him to gvo $162,000 to advance the elections ? hat great advantage had he under that arrangement? He was under a disadvanâ€" tage. His m&ny was to have four directors, while other was to have five. He was to have no advantage that Mr. :gpedod to the House to say whether is was very popular stock when it was put |:£:n the market. They knew that it was other way. He had hoped that his friend, Mr. Burpee, who stood head and shoulders above any other man ‘in New Brunswick as a railway man, would geome connected _ with the con. rn, but he could not urge him him or anyone else to enter into it as a matter of pecuniary profit, unless he had a consideâ€"~ rable sum of money which he desired to fimibility of the occurrence pointed out. e could not, therefore, understand, how any hon. member, who looked at the whole facts of the case and traced them down from the very commencement, could show any reason or foundation for the als legation that Sir Hugh Allan bad paid for the advanteges he was said to have got in this contract. Why should Sir Hugh Allan give this large sum of money if he was not to get some advantage or consideration. Sl“:ul hear!) The hon. member for rham put that question the other night ravle sum of mon:I which he desired to invest on behalf of his ‘children, and to wait twenty years for returne. It had been said that Sir Hugh Allan might conâ€" trol more than the oneâ€"thirteenth allotted to him. Looking at the construction of the company, Sir Hugh could not control than oneâ€"fourth, at all events, and everything showed that the action of the Government was sufficient to prevent the and answered it. Last night it was an» swered in another way, The hen. memâ€" ber for Lennox said ‘it npfiouod only natural to suppose that Sir Hugh Alian would come to the front and contribute liberally _ to _ support the leadâ€" ore of the tK.recent ad~ ministration because in past he had received great favors from them. He thought that coming from a gentleman now in opposition, might be taken as an answer to the enquiry. _ Mr. CARTWR:GHTâ€"What 1 said was that the question was not what Sir Hugh Allan actually got, but what he expected to get. â€" _0 _ _ _ 0_ _ A w k Hon. Mr. TILLEY said he understood the hon. gentleman to say it mi&ht only be expected that the leader of the Govâ€" ernment would rt Sir Hugh Allan‘s supâ€" port in return for the subsidies given to him in the past. _ Mr. CARTWRIGHT said he had accused Sir Hugh Allan ofL gross ingratitude in subsidies that Sir Hugh Allan had received of any great importance, expept that under the contract for the ocean mail service, which was made many years ago. Before Confederation that subsidy was conspiring lgimt the Government.. Hon. Mr. TILLEY said he knew of no four times more than it was as aninged | GesLny SDW MNJ NC WBR CRTICC ME MO0F .

When he looked at the policy of the present Adâ€" ministration, as foreshadowed in their agreement with British Columbia, at the pyicy of the leader of the Opposition, as announced when the agreement was under consideration, at the policy of the present Administration_ as foreshadowed in the speech from the Throne, and at the policy of his hon. fr%end opposite, that only the surplus, only|one million dollars a year, should be exfi:nded in the construction of the roat, did not feel surprised that Sir Hugh Allan supported the party that _ woul carry on the . work. He believed that neither the Government nor ary member sold, or had any inâ€" tentions, or gave to Sir Hugh Allan and his Company| any privileges which they would not have given to any other Comâ€"« pany. Under these convictions he stood there to defend the Administration with a consciousness of the rectitude of their conduct and one that might be vindicat« ed. He now came to the matter of money ; and he did feel that he should say a few words about the expenditure of money at elections. When in England and talking the matter over, people there seemed to say that it was wrong to spend money in élections; but he said in this country it was necessary for the successiof candidates that money should be expendâ€" ed, but not for corrupt purposes. It was true that the spending of money for elections was in some cases corrupt. lle was free to admit that money was often taken for votes, which he bel:ered co:rupt. But thero were cases in which voters lived perhaps twenty miles or more from the poll, and who had not horses to convey them there ; and in such cases as these it did not seem to him illegal for a candiâ€" date to go to the expense of having these men conveyed to the polis. _ > Mr. BLAKE â€" It is against the law. | Hon. Mr. TILLEYâ€"If was against the law, he did not hesitate to say it was a very grave question for consideration, and and which gave larger powers to the wealthy man than to the poor man. There were ‘other legitimate expenses which had to be provided â€" for. _ With reference _ to _ the _ reception _ of money for election purposes either by ludix;f members of the Opposition who naturally expected to be in power â€"some day, or by members in power he said it was an error. Because, if a party receised money from the latter, he might expoct to get & contract or some consideration when the party got inwo power. And with reference to the members of the ad miniss tration, they were subject to the imputaâ€" tion that they received it for undue purs poses. It had been said in the Press, and he had been asked by the Opposition, to leave his colleagues and join them. He was asked to assist in defeating this Government,‘ to change the poli y of the country, which was acceptable to the people; he was asked toassist in placing his hon. friends opposite in power, to do what â€"â€" _ Hon. Mr. TILLEYâ€"Well, it might be to give a pure election law. He was asked to put the hon. member for Lambâ€" ton in power that he might spend a milâ€" hon a year in building the Pacific Railway. [Cbeers]. lHe was asked to do this when they expected this to be done. He was asked to put that hon. gentleman in power when he last session struck at the very foundation of the rights and liberties of the Local Legislature. But were he perfectly in accord with him in these and : other reasors, he would not do so, because as he had stated, rolled" up against the Minister of Justice were all the charges that had been made and promuigated, and when that hon. gentleman was arraigned before the House and country for corrupt purposes, he was bound to say that from having sat with him in council for the last six years, he did not believe he was guilty. He was predpared to do this rather then lend his influence to give mer to the arm that was raised to strke him down, he Mr. MACKENZ!Eâ€"To give a pure election law. believed unjustly. He would rather fall with him and take the consequence of vindicating his course before the country. And he believed he would be unworthy as a representative of the people were he to do otherwise, Were he called ug(.m to five & verdict, be would say, and beâ€" ieved the House would say, "not gwilty." Mr. LAFLAMME said the House could not be called upon to take the mere ver« bal declaration of the Hon. Minister of Finance and other colleagues of the memâ€" bers of the Govegnment, more particularly implicated in Vg charge, that they were not guilty. had they not taken the opportunity of oxpruuin;rthoir elaborate statement under oath. The whole quesâ€" tion was that the administration had taken trom Sir Augh Allan over $100,000, and had afterwards given to him the conâ€" tract for the Pacific Railway. How could they act in an independent manner to Sir Hugh Allan, after having received this large sum of money from him for elec. tions. There was no defence for such a course. the whole defence offered was that the Opposition had also spent large sums for the same purpose. But let the Gova eroment bring this charge against the Upâ€" position, and they would be willing to deny it with or withouta Royal Commiss sion. The Opposition, moreover, did not way the destinies of the country. Uniair efforts had been used to secu;e the disâ€" allowance of the Oaths Bill, in order to ars rest the progress of the enquiry. He ar« gued that the appointment of the Royal Commission was a violation of the mghts of the people, and that Commission could not perform the investigationin as thorough a manner as a Committse of the House. if the ttovernment was not guilty, how wasit that the press of England, which might be regarded as an: impartial observer, had from the first condemned them ? The basis of his argument was that the Gevernment had spent the money obtained from Sir Hugh Alian in a corrupt manner, and from this argued that if any one member ‘were brought before any five members of *+he House for having given money in such a way without having received in return a contract, he would be pronounced guilty. Branching into the letters of Sir Hugh Allan to the Americans, he argued that the Government had an agreement with 8ir Hugh by which the Americans were to be represented in the Company ; but it was after the exigencies of the elections were over, and the voice of the oountz,. which required their exclusion, that Government broke faith with the Amer« cans, and made it appear that the only advantage given to . Sir H?h was the f’mi'loncy. And 1 the Board had not elected Sir Hugh resident, the Government having become gonnd to secure that position for him, would have annulled the charter. If the Merchants‘ Bank sent in a return to the Minister of Finance showing that it had no more than $300,000 of government dm without interest, that return was He hai copied out of the Canada Gazeite the statements published there, and they shewed a larger government dfl)o-it than $300,000 without interest. Bir Hugh Allan would never, without corrupt intentions, have given $100,000 to the Government to assist them in their elections, a man who had never given more than $100 or $200 for election purposes before, and who under oath stated that he nad never but once voted at an election. He argued warding enquiry was sufficient to show ti ©@g:: that the truth eh rald ‘be Out. . With regard to the p question, it was very distincetly u that the meeting on tha 13ih was to be but pro formz, and ths ness was to be done. U pon that u; ng the House adjourned. The ir East Middlesex admitted that ti rial of the 13th of August was the un lerstanding that noth; mental to the Ministry should i to, but the memo showed â€"that _ the Ujp pc prepared _ to _ break understanding as to the pro j betweer the Crown, Pariiam Company.

The member for Shetiord bad declined to ap~ pear before the Commission, and _ doubtless for good _ reasouns, for it might â€" have been _ awkward for him to get up and toll the country by what nuaame . cip aong l iog e nove _ ; ;\ â€" _\ ____ C0nSiGeration, or had made it without any evidence to back it up The inference to be drawn from the whole conduct of that hon, membe , was that he had not the Allan letters in his poâ€"session at the time he made the charges ; but had subsequently been obliged to resort to the pilfering of letters and documents from private drawers in order to try and sustain it. What the House had to deal with was the sworn statement of iâ€" Hugh Allan, and not his cor:espondence with the Americans: and this statement denied pdsitively that there was anv anr. rupt agreement with the ()overnmeult, It had been argued by the hon. member for Jacques Cartier, that Sir Hugh Allsp would not have subscribed so largely i he had not had the charter in view : but the House had the sworn evidence ot sir Hugh that the object he had in view ‘was the lmmninf in power of a Government whose policy he approved of, and which was in the interest of his great s.camship line and railways with which he was con« nected. The Upposition had resorted to every means to gain the object they had in view, by going to hon. members on thirside who were lawyers, and sayin ; «Oh, Mr. Soand So, there have been three Judges appointed in your District, and how is it you have not been appointed * [Cheers.] These and similar means were resorted to by them to try and gain the Government members over to their side; and not only this, but they resorted to false stories about the Premier, and they abstracted letters from the Past Office, it was true, the Premier had the sympsthy of members on both sides; but he did not ask eympathy. What he asked was justiceâ€"common British justice. [Apâ€" lause.] He would say in conclusion that Ko bad no doubt the Kight Hon. Premier Mr. BURPEE (St. John) amid loud ap. plause from the Opposition benches, an. nounced that he was going to vote in fa« vor of the amendment of the bhon. mem« ber for Lambton. â€" He then went over the would be sustained in this House understood that the report »{ the Com«â€" mittee would be laid before the House on the 13th August, and he was entirely op« posed to the prorogation on that day, when there was no report made. The evidence taken before the Commission went a great way to prove that the charge preferred by the hon. member for Shefford was proved . Sir Hugh Allan got also the greater part of the money paid for emigrh~ tion purposes. Hon: Mr. POPEâ€"No, No. Mr. BURPEEâ€"The Lon. Ministor said no, no, but be believed it was so. He felt some embarassment in voting in a conâ€" trary direction from his colleagues of the city and county of 8t. John. He had been told that in voting as he did he was acting contrary to the wishes of his constituents, but he was prepared to take the reeponsiâ€"« bility of this, and _ was not to be swerved _ by uay man _ or . any number of men. He would vote as he beâ€" lieved in accordance with the liberal rinciples of the pariy to which he be~ Emptf and with a view to sustaining the privileges of Parlisment. [Cheere.] fround taken since the charge was pre. erred until he catie to the mnt of prow rogation, when he stated he had perfecily Mr. DOMVILLE would not have taken up the time of the House had it not been for the speech of the hon. gentieman for St. Johnâ€" That hon. gentlieman had got up here and said he would vote against the Ministry, because of the charges of the hon. member for Shofford. And what were they ? Bribery and corruption. This from the hon. member for St. John. Why this was known to be the very seat of corâ€" ruption, and the hon. member for St. John would pot have warmed the seat _ which he now _ occupied had it not been for corruption. (Cheers, and O! O!) Heread a letter from tue hon. gentleman‘s own hand, published in the 8t, John 7elkgraph. in which that gentleman said that he had recaived no money from Sir Hugh Ailan, but that all the money which he used was bis own. The hon gentleman continued in much the same, sense since,amidet cousiderable con â€" fusion, when Mr. Mackenzie raised a point of order, and Mr. Speaker ruled that the course of the hon. gentieman‘s remerks were not in order. Mr. Domville thep quoted an ‘ extract rrom the Free Press, showing that the mo.:.ul:.do( the Giobe newspaper had been â€"a bribe from Sir Hugh Allan. The d:,yc of the motion of the hon. member for iambton, was in effect that the expenditure of money at.elections, rendered them liable to the censure of the House. Now, this he most positively denied. (Cheers.) The charges fiutthliniury gave the impression the Government bai taken money from the public purse. This was not the bontbopubhom. Ihis was not the case, as he had to his constituents. Tbohou.mfiuemon continued at some length, ing a most humorous speech. He should vote as his consciense dictated ; and he should have great pleasure in votâ€" ing‘ that the charges of the hon. member for Bhefford, had not been sustained. _ Mr. PICKARD said that last year when the charges were made by Mr. Huntingâ€" ton, he had noidea that they would be sustaiped, but subsequent evenis had brought him to the conclusion that there must be truth in theta. Mr. UUIMET defended the general course of the Government ; and he was bere to express the inion of his constituency, _ that ‘IK. charges of the hon. member for Shefford had not been lfll‘hfi.lnd, and he belieyed he exf pressed general view of the people 0| the Province of Quebec.
