ti 3 OP K6 1 s 4# $ QOSEORAYE® CELEBRATED ALE (in prime This is a line of railway projected from Whitby to the mouth of the Nottawasag* Miver on the Georgian Bay, The Board of Provisional Pirectors was recently organ~ fzed,of which the Hon. Malcolm Cameron,in whose consiituency the southern terminus of the line will be, is President, and Mr, Chester, draper, of Whitby, Viceâ€"Presiâ€" dent. We observe by the contemporary press that the organization of the Board has been promptly followed by vigorous eilorts in prosecution of the work. A deputation, headed by the President, was engaged last week in canvassing the municipalities for assistance in the way of bonuses, and apparently with capital wuccess. The projected line will intersect WY i YOUNGERS ~EDINBURGH a» Loronto and Nipusing line at some | point not yet, we believre, fully |. determined upon, and the Northern Rail. | , way at Newmarket: and Barrie. Between | these points, it is evident, the new ling | . will run parallel with that of the Northâ€" |, ern, taking a northerly direstion from the | latter place to the mouth of the Mottawas | saga River instead of a Nor‘â€"westerly |, direction to Collingwood, as taken by the Northern Railway, For this route its pro« | , moters claim that it presents the shortest | line of communication between the deep | water navigition of the Eastern and Westâ€" | ern Lakes.This claim we must admit is not | easily denied, for the figures are found to | be largely in its favour. The length of | the Northern Railway from Toronto to Collingwood, the present shortest line of | communication between Lakes Ontarioand Buiun, is ninetyâ€"fire miles, The length of the projected Ontario Central | from Whitby harbour to its north= ern terminus on Georgian Bay is seventyâ€"five miles, or twenty miles shorter | distance from lake to lake; Then Whitby is . nearer to Eastern markets than ‘Toronto by thirty miles. Hence traffic _ going East from Colligwood will save by this new route fifty miles carriage. The commercial interest of the Dominion and ot the United States is fully awake to the fact that Canasda possesses the shortest lines lor the conveyance of the traffic beâ€" tweer the Great West and the Ocean. And the opening up of those shortest lines and making them available should be the first obligation to be assumed by our' people. We hare 1o obricusly the geoâ€" graphical advantege that we need to fear mo competitors The investment of money in _ works . calculited go make our position what nature intended it should be, bears nothing of the charâ€" acter of speculation; the return both direct and indirect being guaranteed by the greater tacilities which the length and «ipacity of our water lines, and the shorts meses of ourâ€"rail communication afford. It is unquestionable that this projected On» tnrio Central Railway is one of the «hortest of the many possible short lines, and the poople of Whitby are setting an example to their neighbours which is worthy of being imaitated. The saving of distance by thi* route as compared with the route by Lake Erie and the Welland Carmal to Montreal and Liverpool will be about 416 miles, Compared with the Erie Canal and the milway routes via Buffalo and New York to Liverpool the saving in distance is estiâ€" mated at upwards of 900 miles. ‘ In addiâ€" tion to the saving in distance, the projected line will have a great advantsge in the matter of grades,. We learn that engiâ€" meering authorities have pronounced the grades as likely to prove more favourable: than those of any line yet built in this country, which is an exceedingly imporâ€" lant consideration especially in a line largely designed tor the carriage Uf freight. The line is likely to prove gasy of construction, the enginesring diffi. culties being assured.to be not at all formidable. It will pass through a wealthy section of country, able and we hLave no doubt willing to subsidize it hand. nomely, ~It will be enjitled to 342,000 per UVRK®E®S DUKLIN STOUT UROSZE AND BLACKWELL‘S Andrew . | F W anted ~Dr. Wood.

In a crisis like the present, the action of the representative of royaliy has a very direct bearing upon the result,iand it is therefore, a very proper thing that the precedents by which such action should be guided should be fairly and fully discussed. His Honour, giving him Credit for the posses. sion of much more than the average amount of information on the subject, can hardly fail to be benéfiitted . by the disâ€" guilty of no act in either their inâ€" dividual or collective capacity which would render them liable to the censure of Parâ€" liament, the constitution and the prece« dents admit of no such byâ€"play as that suggested by the organs regarding the choice of a gentleman to form a new Govâ€" ernment. When, in 1868, the Govern» ment of the present British Premier apâ€" pealed to the country, and when a large majority was returned against them, the Conservative party were naturally a good deal disappointed at the result. Knowing well that it was a triumph of no ordinary nature to Mr. Giadstoneâ€"knowing, too, how proud and sensitive that great man contributions of the municipalities interâ€" ested be at all liberal, those to of the Executive, could play into each other‘s hands from time to time, and while appearing to submit to the voice of the sovereign people,}would simply be providâ€" ing each other with increased facilities for their audacious pilfering. Suppose there were simply a change in the current of public opinion which arose from the eharacter _ of the _ administrative measures of Mr. Ouimet and his is, they counselled Mr. Disracli very strongly through their organs to advise Her Majesty to pass him over, and cal upon Lord Granville, who then led the Liberal party in the Upper House, to form a Government. Such a course, if it had beer open, would probably have afforded Mr. Disraeli some ple wsure, since it would have enabled him to overâ€"reach his most powerful aiversary, while it would meet the requirements of the coastitution in so far ‘a# it would bring the Liberals into power; but it is still more probable, and indeed more than likely, that he would have foregone that triumph ‘rather than lsy himsel{ open to the charge of being in. spired by dishonorable motives or personal feeling. But the course was. not open to him, even if he hgd desired to take it. The suthorities on constitutional practice at once pronounced the proposition im* possible. To call upon any other man than Mr. Gladstone, the acknowledged leader of the Opposition, was at once denounced {usdop-rtunfrom well established pre= cedent rhich could not be permitted, and it was quite as clearly shown that Mr. Disraeli could offer no advice. It would be even in a greater degree a violation of constitutional practice for Governor Caron cussion. ‘The friends of the charterâ€"sellâ€" ing, landâ€"speculating party, and the press they comtrol, buoy themselves up with the hope that Mr. Caron will act the rele of the partizan in the matter, | and in con . sideration of his former connection with the Conservatives, will call some one to his counsels who will make up a Ministry from among his old political friends. Such & course would not simply be imprudent â€"it would be perfectly unconstitutional. If Mr. Ouimet, being in full possessi>n ol the confidence of the Legisliature, and his colleagues being guilty of no wrong, and not under a motion of censure from the House, had deciied, for private reasons, to retire, no doubt it w::n the duty of the Governer to him regarding the appointment of his suctessor, and his advice in that case weuld be constituâ€" tionally sought and could be constitutionâ€" ally given, < But having, with his whole Cabinet, placed his resignation in the hands of the Lieut.â€"Governorâ€"as it is preâ€" sumed he has already done or is about to doâ€"owing to the pressure of adverse pub» Bc opinion, elicited in consequence of a transaction of the most scandalous nature» there would be no precedent which would point to his advice being asked regarding who should be his successor, and none for that advice being tendered even if were sought. If the constiiution permitted such a proceeding, far les# provided for it,. our boasted system of gorernment would be nothing more er less than a means by which robbers of the public Treasury, through tendering evil advice to the head to call upou any one to form a new gov, ernment in the present crisis other than Mr. Joly, the asknowledged leader of the Opposition. Of course we admit, and are thankful to be able to admit, that the British precedents bearing upon the preâ€" sent case are few ; but if Mr. Caron follows the latest Canadian precedent, which only too closely resembles the case with which he has to deal in its very worst features, he will not hesitate for. a moment as to his proper line of action. 1t would have been just as much in accord with the constitu. tion and the precedents for His Exoelâ€" lency the Governor General to have ac. cepted advice from Sir John Macdonald last Ustoberâ€"had such advice been tenâ€" dondâ€"t.op*onr Mr. Mackensie and call some one else into his confidence,as it would be for Governor Caron t»a0cept the advice of the Conservative organists in re= gard to the crisis in Quebec. We have previously contended that even were there any certainty that Mr.. Joly eould not command a majority in the preâ€" sent Legislature, which there is not, that woald in no way affect the course dictated to the Governor by the constitution. As every body is aware, he has no means of making himself acquainted with facts of that nature unless by the advice of re= spousible Ministers ; but those with whom he is at present surrounded, by virtue of their resignation, have themselves deâ€" elared that they are no longer posssssed of the confidence of the people‘s repre. sentatives, and are therefore not in a posiâ€" ing His Honour. Accepting their own estimate of themselves, which undoubtedly must be the most charitable one possi« bie, it would be a very extraordinary thing tor Mr. Caron to ask them to do that of which they have declared themselves incapable, and an act of unâ€" bounded presumption on their part to offer to do it on the face of that declara« tion. Admitting, however, that Mr. Joly was in an undoubted minority, and that the Governor had the means of being so advised, the Montreal Herald shows by the most recent practice in Great Britain m& it would make no material difference, i that the leader of the @pposition must called upon in the first instance. It :Jom, for example, that when Sir Robert 'a to accept the responsibility ol‘ ‘ldvh- Peel resigned, in 1846, Lord John Russell, though his party was in a considerahle minority in the House of Com| was called in and succeeded in forming an Administration that lasted six years. |When it foll, in 1862, Lord Derby, whose party was‘in a rery decided minoriâ€" ty in the Commons. was sent for, and formed a Government which lasted only ten months. Agsin, on the fall of Lord Palmerston‘s Administration in 1858, Lord Derby, as leader of the Opposition, was charged with the formation of anew Min istry, though his party, as on the former occasion, was largely outnumbered by his opponents in the Commons; end in 1866 when Lord Russell‘s second Administra" tion resigned, Lord Derby still leading the Conservative minority, was for a third time charged with the duty of carrying on the Queen‘s Government. .

Yesterday being the annual civic holi« day in Kingston the Young Men‘s Christian Association. of that â€"city determinedâ€" to spend as much of the day as possible in the Capital of the Dominion. Accordingly an excursion was organized, and considerâ€" ing the fact that it was one ofâ€" elpven exâ€" cursions from the Limestone City, we must sonclude thas the citizens ot Kingston duly appreciate the wild scenery and magnificent works of architectural art that adorn the Capital, as over six hundred exâ€" eursionists availed themselves of the priviâ€" :go thus afforded them. .A committee of.

Wlhon ':’ had sufâ€" ficiently regaled themselves with a magniâ€" ficient view of the city ani its surroundâ€" ings from the roof of the Buildings.

Crombleâ€" holme preached morning and evening in 8t Patrick‘s Church, to crowded congre. gitions. ‘The Reverened Gentleman took for his text the words "Who "can forgive sins but God only." Ms!'k, Chap. 11, v. 7. He began by saying that the words of his text, "Can any one forgive sins but God only !" were very liable to be misuns derstood, and even to be taken in a sense diamitrically opposite to the truth. If we read the entire passage in the (Gospel, we sualf easily see how they rre to be under. stood. The passage relates the case of the Paralytic! where Our Lord begins by siying, ‘‘Son be of good heart thy sins are fyrgiven thee." At which the Feribes said within thems+lves:,He blasphemeth, for who can forgive sips but God only? Cer« tainly no one can. And Jesus seeing their thoughts said to them, WhLdo you think evil in your hearts? Which is easier to say thy sins are forgiven thee, orâ€"to say arise and walk? These thoughts of she Soribes, Jesus Christ calls thinking evil, and yet they seem to chave pertect reason for thinking as they did, especially as they had the Holy Scriptures apparently to sus~ tain mm-hi:r these words are a quotation from the Book of Job, and these men had made the Holy Scripture their study, and it could not be said that they had not had the means of knowing the Scriptures, and yet with all this we find them to have made an erronsous application, and that their conclusions deserve to be con. demned by iuns u:hrm nud u::‘.: r'nnouood y Cu private judgment led these men so far um.i‘ thln, need we be surprised that we & men ulg now?â€" Our mnn:lh hm ness, Condescends to instruot them in iving them a reply wortby of Himself. flouh which is easier to say thy sins mhrgl'nn thee or to say arise and walk ? And which, beloved brethren, think you is the eamer? ls not oneas easy as the other? Do not both require the exercise of divine power ? Jesus Christ proceeds: But that you may know that the Son of Mun hath power on earth to forgive sins, (when He saith to the sick of the paley), Arise, take up thy bed, and phtot:z house. nAdnn:hl.n nnnam and went into multitude seeing, feared mod&d Go1 who gave such power to 50-.

Let us pass on from the Horibes in presence of our Lord to the people of the nineteenth century. May we not say, with equal truth, tmunnlordmgm that miracle that we might know that the SHea of Man hath power to forgive sins?! It miy be said that in this century we don‘t deny this power to our Lord. We admit that He could â€" and that He did forgive sin. < + Then what do you want to deny ? : We don‘t quite see that a priest, a man like ourselves can f::fln sins. Ah| lLsee your difficulty, Well let us eximine the matter a little closely. Uur Lord certainly did say to : St. Peter, I wmmwthumhrottholm‘dom Thut Fromhed 15 @5 Poter this porel: as â€"give s Tow td we arer folll ies prosnce."" Ins us see, If we open the Gospel of St. John xx., we shall find ‘there that our Lord being risen from the dud,apgundw thotfind lesâ€"the doors . being shutâ€"and uidlo'.Ean, Pesce be to you, and when he said this he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were therefore glad when they had seen the Lord ; and he said therefore to them again : Peace be to you, as the Father sent me I also send you, When he had said this he breathed onthofiud he said to them ; Receive ye the Holy Ghost. â€" Now bolcve& brethren whylflthhmfiou,why all this cere mony, why on them the Holy @host ? Must we not reasonably conclude that our Lord, who never spoke or acted uselessiy, was then on the point of making some imâ€" portant communication to the disciples. We find Almfiz God in the sook of â€" Genesis thlnfl( into the nostrils â€" ofâ€"â€"the first â€" man and that he thereby became a living soul. Now we have Jesus Christ breathing on the disciples and in doh’};o uylni to them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost. k you not that Our Lord meant them to receive the Holy Ghost? And if so, what was his object? What was the end he wished to attain? Certainly one of the greatest imâ€" portance and one worthy of the Redeemer‘s goodness ? And what was it? Let us read what follows in the Go:spel. Whose sins you shall forgive they are forgiven them, and whose sins you shall retain they are retained. Doaonu‘whu end Our Lord had in view? He was fulfliling his promise of giving them power to torgive sin, Whose sins ; eu shall forgive they are forâ€" given. Do Our Lord‘s words mean what they <xpress? Can there be anything more plain, more clear? Can man, the Priest of the Catholic Church forgire sin«? Would it be safe for you to deny it ?

Warden Hubâ€" bell, in conversation with rx‘u' and visitors, tries to convey the that all convicts are treated alike ; but I asked him, is there & convict in the prison who bas money or influence ‘that works hard ? No. They are either clerks on contracts, assigned to the hall, chaplain‘s office, hospital, principal keeper‘s offce, mes« sengers, runners for the guard posts, or filling numerous other sinecures. For in« tance, there are Stokes, Simmons, King. &roonlhal. Chauncey, Johnson, &6. And the impertinence of these fellows to other convicis and even r:;wu (I saw h.“ of the representatives of your paper, in com« pany with a number of gentiemen, insultâ€" ed by this Gireenthal in the visitor‘s office) is enough to cause a revolt, These men can be seen at night fishing and otherâ€" wise . enjoying _ themsgires, _ while the â€"nonâ€"moneyed â€" convict is enâ€" enjoying his seclusion of his six by three.
