Burpee, CGart wright, and Blake, refuted the allegations conteriding that the Gorermnment had only followed the letter and the spirit of the law by exempting these portions, which imported nims‘ly were free goods, sod which it was but impo-iglo to import otherwise than welded to other miom of the locomotives. Further the Government had habitually followed the same course, and were now sccusing their successors of doing that which they had regularly done themseives. The dis cussion waxed hoz“ucmfiom and counter sccusations being freely bandied by both parties. The motion was ulti ::lgcuriod, after which Mr. Langevin for addresses to His ll'uu-nel on several n:joqu neither ‘of : whic excited _ muc interest, a little war of words ooo:;rh beâ€" tween Hon. Mr.Cauchon and the mover At the opening of the House yesterday a number of petitions were presented,one of which prayed for the restoration of the differéntial duty upon tes. A number of questions by members were also disposed of, and a few private Bills were read a first time and ordered for a second reading. Hon. Mr. Mitchell, en a motion for an address praying for copies of the Orders in Council, instructions to officers, &c., in â€"connection with the attempt of the Government to compel the occupants of fisheries in theâ€" Maratime Provinces to an enforeed atonement, made a lengtby speech, in which he reviewed the grievâ€" ances of the fishermen of New Brunswick, and resented ‘ vigorously the arbitrary manner (as he called it) in which the Orders in Council had been sprung upon the country. Hon. Mr Smith, in replyâ€" ing, accused Mir. Mitchell of being premaâ€" turs in not waiting for all the papers relative to the subject, and denied that _ the fishermen â€" had any proprietary rights over the water 9}- posite their properties He taxed Mr. Mitchell with setting u‘£ his individual opinion against that of the highest legal authority, and also with having increased the tax upon salmon from 50c. to $1 without asking the s: nction of Parliament at all, n awkward fix which Mr. Mitchell was forced to acknowledge. Mr. Smith showed that the position now taken by bim was exactly the same as that taken by his hon. friend opposite, and which would have been followed out had he reâ€" mained in office, and accused him on his own words of showing partiality to the fishermen of his own country lx not en forcing the_tolls required by e regula tions. H& _ concluded an able refutation of the charges made by Mr. Mitchell by challenging the most thorough and comâ€" pleto enquiry _ into _ tae _ whole affair. Mr. . Mitchell replied, deâ€" nying in _ strong _ langusage © the motion which had been imputed to him of popularity hunting, but admitteâ€" that he had raised the tax on the recom. mendation of officers of the service VUitimately the discussion was ended just as the Honse rose for recess, by Mr. Mitâ€" chell agreeing to take out the word " arbitrary" from the motion as originally comstituted . to the Great Western Railway Company to the Printing Commttee. in speaking to the motion Dr. Tupper, as is not unusual with him, made some vioient assertions in which he accused the Government of having manufactured correspondence, and with having suppressed some of the most essential parts of the correspondance reâ€" quired by & previous motion. He also accused the Finance .\éiniuor while aovw ing for the Minister of Customs of having made & direct violation of the law, in exempting certain duty {free porâ€" tions of locomotives _ manufactured in the Uniied States and Great Britain, when f>y reason of their being made up or joined to other dutisble parts they should also have been made to Northwest. He thought a more vigorous railway policy on the part of the Govern ment, and direct communication with the Northwest, were necessary before a sutli cient immigration would ensue to make a new Government necessary there. Hon. Mr. Lettellier in m courteous manner thanked Mr. Alexander for the first part of his remarks, but rejected the latter. Hon. Mr. Bottsford moved for correspondâ€" ence respecting the investigation into the conduct of the Postmaster at Sackville. The Government promised to give such information, if it were in their possession. The usual formal steps were taken on the petition of Robert Camptell, of Whitby, Ont., praying for a divorce from his wife, Eliza Maria Byrue, after which the House adjourned. Aiter recess, the House was chiefly oc cupied with a discussion of a rather acri monious character raised by Dr. Tupper on & motion to refer copies of corres pondence relating to the refund of duties TAE HOUSE OF COMMONS YESâ€" TERDAY. year.

Governor Morris and the Dominion Govâ€" ernment. from the date of his appointâ€" ment. lHe paid a high compliment to the Northwest Council for the manner in which they had served the country. Hom. Mr. Letellier said there was no objection to the correspondence being brought down, but it was too voluminous for printing, and parts of it were not of‘ sufficient public interest. ‘ Hon. Mr. Alexander said that the thanks of the House and the country were due to the Government for not taking advantage of the power conferred on them last session by Paâ€"lisment, to put the country to the experse of another Government in the In the Senate yesterday, Hon.

Tl lioa THE SEN â€"Mr Kavanagh and White Cet! salt A Y viisements ESTERD A} M Siz â€"IL was not a little amused this morning in reading Senator Macpherson‘s aitack on the Georgian Bay branch of tue Pacific Railway, in respect of its chiracâ€" ter as a national, as distinguished from a local or Provincial work. This is, howevâ€" er, only another instance of circumstanâ€" ces altering cases, even in matiers of prin ciple, with some men. Patliament had at m previous session sanctioned this work as part and parcel of the Pacifc Railway. Senator Macph¢rson had his objections fully stated then, but he failed to b.ing the senate to see the mater in precisely the way he put it It is neediess, he ought to obseive, for bim _ now ;to ~be _ taking _ every opportunity | ofâ€" having a _ flingy at a work to which‘ the good faith of the country is pledged. The temper maniâ€" fosted by Sepator Macpherson upon this subject is unfortunaté for imself, for it begets in people‘s minds |insinuations that do him nq credit. When the original Pacific Railway scheme inoou.rnof‘ preparation what do we ? ‘We find that Mr, Macpherson was |engaged in procuring an Act of in tion for himself and others, to g‘ve existence to a company formed for purpose of building the Pacific Railway, of which company he was the Prerident, He did not then manifest the in anxiety which now animates him lest country The Joint Committee of both Houses on Printing met yesterday. Mr. Stirton moved that Mr. G. W. Ross, of Middlesex, be chairmain, and that Hon. Mr. Simp son act as chairman till the arrival of Mr. Ross, The quorum of the Committee was reduced to seven members. Mr. Hartney, clerk of the Committee, read his apnual report, which showed the Printing Department in a sound and effiâ€" cient condition. . The .;a)roprinion of lastâ€"year was foucd insufficient, and a warrant for an additional amount was issued, and charged against this year‘s appropriation. The report was referred to the auditors. The following are the official figures :â€"Total cost of printing, $67,980 12. Refundsâ€"Departmental re ports, $10,204 63 ; Private Bills, $476 73 ; Total, $10,681 36. _ Numerically calou: lated, cost for each House would standâ€" Senate, $14,532 25; House of Commons, $42,766 41. | > The hon. member for Cumberland has a knackâ€"not always a happy oneâ€"of getting out of & difficulty himself, if that were possible, even if it be at the expense of somebody else. Yesterday the Comâ€" missioner and other officials of the Customs Departmentâ€"gentlemen who are in the position _ of being unable to reply wlen ~thus atâ€" tackedâ€"were made ths butt ofâ€" Dr. Tupper‘s assaults. The correspondence brought down was declared to be manuâ€" f:cturedâ€"ome the grossest charges which could be brought against the responsible offices of any branch of the public service. We undertake to say that it is a false charge. The Premierseveral times called the hon. gentleman to order for the exâ€" traordinary statement, yet it was iterated and reiterated. , The end of such a grave matter has not yet been heard. We shall be surprised if even an official whose mouth is closed, and whom it is not in the vbest tasteâ€"whom indeed it is in the worst taste to attack on the floor of the House of Commons, does not find some means of vindicating his character from the. aspersions thrown upon it by the member for Cumberiand. The time was when public servants were all the more thought of if they were time servers and politicians. That day has passed away. If it has left behind any who would be willing to do what Dr. Tupper has charged, the Commissioner of Customs is not one. Dr. Tupper, at this rate, shall soon have gone over the leading officials of the Public Service. | _ Not content with the oustigation he reâ€" | ;eeived at the hands of the Premier igl | North Refrew, on the subjust of Customs | | Refunds to the Great Western Railway, ! Dr. Tupper revived the question in the i | House of Commons last hight, by moving | for the correspondence in that connection. | |If Xr. Mackenzie, to speak figuratively, ; sk‘uned the hon. member for Cumberland | upon the first occasion, he took the very | flesh off bis bones_last night.> Mr. Blake also spoke for the first time, at least in debate, during the session, and if we may be allowed to carry the imaginative proâ€" cess m little farther, he scattered the mutilated fragments of Dr. Tupper‘s arguâ€" | ments to the four winds. He did not direct | ly defend the refund made to the Great | Western Railway :, that was quite unne. | cessary, because the transactinn was but | fulfilling the letter of the spirit of the | law. But he convicted the late Minister l of Customsâ€"Dr. Tupperâ€"on evidence from his own lips, of the very sinâ€"if sin it beâ€"which he charged against the peesâ€" ent Government. If it be a violation ot the law to refund duties upon imported locomotives when the Great Western is concerned, it must be equally a transâ€" gre:sion to do so when the Grank Truuk | is concerned. The only difference beâ€" i tween the action taken by the two Govâ€" Â¥ ernuments is thisâ€"that the late one reâ€"| funded the duties to the Grand Trunk | { Company, while the present did so to the [ Great Western, There may be a distinction ; between theso facts which involves a | ; principleâ€"and the bon. member for|< Gumberland tried to show it, Gespite the | ! unreasonableness of ther greund he took ; : but discerning and disinterested people | ; will recognise in it the simple idifference /1 which has always been adniitt’gd to exist c between "tweedledum" and "tweedleâ€" 1 dee." h To tas Editor of THE TIM RS on the motion for instructions to Mr. Trudelle, of the Customs Department at Quebec, on the occasion of his visit to the electoral district of Charlevoix during the Dominion election held in January last, which was joined in by Mr. Masson and Mr. Caron. After some further motions, Dr. Orton made his periodical motion for a committee on the agricultural inlorests of the Dominion. The Prime Minister objected to the power souzht in the mo«â€" tion to send for persons, and characterized the doctor‘s opinions on the subject as nostrums, which he stiongly resented, and insisted upon pressing the motion in its. entirety. â€" Several members also expressed themselyes in favour of the motion, and a nulnbergn the Ministerial side rather against it. The adjourmment of the debate was moved by Mr. Miils, and after a little opposition, was carried.

Mr. Manning, however, objects to this decision, and ignoring the in{unotiou of our Saviour and St. Paul, that the law should bâ€" respected, has advertised in a local paper a request that in future all letters to him may be addressed simply .

It will no doubt be quite ‘interesting to the reverend Gon&emen of the snovel bat and gaiter stamp in "this Canada of ours,‘" who looks with such eonul;:];t on their monâ€"conformist brethren the clergy::â€"the clergy of the " Human Societies." REYVERENCE. An obscure rector of an obecure parish in Cornwall has protested in a somewhat novel fashion against the recent decuion of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in the case of "Keet versus Smith." _It will be remembered that Mr. Keet, a Wesleyan minister, residing at ‘)Jwston Ferry, wished to roglaco a tombâ€" stone in the parish churchyard to the memory of his child, but was refused permission to do so by Mr. Smith, the rector, because Mr. Keet in the inscrip tlion described the deceased as the daughâ€" ter of the Reverend H. Keet, Wesleyan minister. The official delegate of Christ at Owston Ferry objected to his brother minister of the Gospel making use of a title which the clergy of the Established Church considered should only be apâ€" plied to themselves, and. with exquisite sympathy for a bereaved father, chose a tombstone |as the field on which to fight out the dispute. After having twice failed to !fllEO good his claim, Mr. Keet has obtained a recognition of it from the Judicial Cogimittee of the Privy Council. This body|has decided .that the word "Reverend‘! legally means nothingâ€"that it is a merte epithet, the ‘offspring of that courtesy which assumes that all ofticers are gallant, all counsel learned, all members og Parliament honourable, and all clergymen of the Church _of England imbued with the spirit of the Founcfer of the Christian religion. Moreover, custom " REVERENDS AND HIGH CHUsxCH * Still Mr. Macpherson goes on grumbling; he probably tm::h the Ottawa zoplo' have no rights worth respecting ; that an Act of Parliament upon which a contract has been given in ‘iood faith néeds not be respected ; but that his own disinterâ€" ested views should prevail. He will not win popularity in that way. | 9 To the Editor of the THE TIMES, *The people of the Ottawa section had as good a right to ask that the road be built to the North as those on the Ontario front had to ask it to be built to the westâ€" ward. He believed the Government were striving to act for the best. He thought it was unnecessary in the way ‘frropoud by the honourable gentleman {Mr. Alexâ€" auder) to attempt to set aside an Act of Parliament, upon which a éontract had been given in good faith. ‘He was willing to giye the Government a fair trial. This link would be a valuable part of the railâ€" way to the Pacific.‘" should become involved and ruined. He | was prepared then to bolt the whole | scheme, at a mere fraction of which he now boggles like a shying horse and with mbout as much reason, I am surprised l that he regards this Georgian Bay Branch sas a merely local work,. The policy of lghg present Government is for,the preâ€" sent to utilize the water stretches and to I,-pm betweenâ€"water sections with railway land thgt policy has been accepted by IPArIiamont Assuredly there is not l from the Atlahtic to the Pacific a more advantagcous rail connexion offered than that between navigable water on the Ottawa River and on the Georgian Bay. |As & military work, I contend it is an | indigpeneable adjunct to the Intercolonial, | since it gives access to the interior of the country and to the Western lakes by a route wholly removed from the foreign boundary. 1 regard it, commercially, as a necdraity. It will do more when comâ€" /pleted than any other possible underâ€" ‘ taking to practically demonstrate the fact that our people are naturally the | carrkm for the Great West, American as | welllas Canadian. When the course of | the Ottawa Valley is made avyrilable for a lclm.a‘uel for the tnnq‘»’vortation of the | products of the Great West, the United ‘ States railways and shipping ports will feel howâ€"roundâ€"about are their routes ; nd if tbhis country were theirs, there annot well be a doubt that they would. ave demonstrated the _ advantages | of the Ottawa short cut before now. . The more one thinks of it the| l ore is one _ surprised _ at _ the traordinary course which the Hon, mator is taking. It is, perhaps, not fair to insinuate as many do that if Toronto were where Ottawa is, Mr. Macpherson‘s views would be substantially the reverse of what they are. But even on that ground the objection would not be well founded, for the Western part of Ontario is deeply interested. As I have in former letters attempted to show, the |immense volume of sup?lieo for the lumbering districts would ‘come from Toronto by way of the Victoria Railway and the French River berminu;bto be distributed by the Georgian Bay Branch. The immense volume of lumber, too, would find market by the samie channels, Toronto getting her share of a traffic that may be said to now belong wholly to Ottawa and Montreal. Clearly there are ample grounds from toth Domi. ion and Provincial points of view why this line should be bniY:n by public money ; and, therefore, if reasonaâ€" _ble objectionjbe anywhere, they certainly are not with the N-‘lonator from Toronto. I am _ aware, even . at this _ moment of _ depression _ in the lumber trade, of several parties who are prepared to build saw mills along the line of road from Burnt Lake to French River ; and it should not be hard even for persons who are not familiar with the country in question to satisfy themâ€" selves Of the eUormuus trafée that wonld from the first supply the â€"railway and go to swell directly and indirectly the ‘revenue of the country. 5L OB | It is scarcely consistant with the dignity or the dignified manners of Senator Macâ€" pherson to charge the Ottawa lumbermen wit}) seeking self interest in connection with this matter at the expense of the couotry. Imght retort by charging the honourable Senator with having utterly failed to conceal the selfâ€"seeking motive in every sentence of hbis speech, and by that means make my case as good as his ; but [ forbear. I must say, however, that I am not aware of even one lumberman who has exposed himself to Mr. Macpher soh‘s charges against them, which must have been made wholly at random. And if we look at the Provincial revenues we will hardly be persusded thereby that the lumber interest is merely of local insignifiâ€" cance. â€" It has contributed to the treasury very largely for a long term of years, and may fairly claim some expenditure in its interest. I will close my remarks by | quoting _ & line from _ the excellent speech of Senator Skead. He said, in reply to Mr. Macpherson, a year agO :â€" Ottawa, Fob. 21, 1876.

By Arthur Buies, For sale by James ‘ Hope, Sparks Street; price 10 cents, This Pmphlot, which is given in the form of an address, contains some very interesting details of the ancient history of Quebec for the past two and a half centuries. .

This work will be found very interesting, and will be read with pleasâ€" ure by those who remember the old town while ‘a capital, now in view of one of the most beautiful promenades possible to conceive, being being built along a line replete with old traditions, and a castie worthy the past history of the town,. whose fortresses have withstood so many shocks and where so many heroes : lives. have gone to build up its ancieni: fame.. The light thus sought to be imparted to. the declining name of the capital; and the prestige about to be revived within its midstâ€"creations of the; & of Lord Dufferinâ€"are points which are gracefully dwelt upon in the pages of "Past and future.of Quebec." Of some 16 or 17 reports that we have seen of speeches delivered by members of Parliament during the past week, more than balf that number contain direct reforences to the subject of Disestablishâ€" ment. This along is a good sign for the cause of the Liberationists. Events are gradually tending to carry out the object which those gentlemen have in view. One is the ory of " No surrender," which is going up from the ranks of the clergy on the subject of the Burials Bill As we have alreadyp ointed out, the Archbishops are ‘wiser than their flock, and, if the West end report may be relied upon, this attitude of the clergy has prov‘:g‘qmther embarrassing to certain members ~of the .Cabinet, who desired to intro) duce a Governtgent bill, in the shape of a compromise." But the tombstone case will help the burials bill, and also prove a blow to the estavlishmont. The ?act. of the highest court in the land having decided that the term "reverend" may be applied to a dissenting minister, has proved s>serious an offence to many of the .clergy that, regarding the title as "desecrated," they have asked to be addressed in future by their Christian came. It might be all the better for the church if the conduct of these sacredotal pretenders would only arofise a little more public interest in their audacious claims. Some hundred of them have just showed the base stuff they are made of by trying to make a bargain :with the Pope to permit them to enter the Roman Chur(l:lh as " ’llnnrried priests," still retainâ€" ing charge of their present congregations. If the Roman road is the right road, they should give up all and follow it, and not " swap horses in the middle of a stream," to use President Lincoln‘s â€" vigorous me,la‘phor. It is evident that the loaves and fishes are of more account than the true faith. and that common politeness requires that a man should be in Eriuto life called by any title or name which he fancies. We, therefore advise G. W. Manning‘s corresâ€" pondents to chime in with his humour, and address letters to him in the form which most gratifies his childish petuâ€" lance. If he should take it into his head to assume the title of Kafoozleum or High Cockolorum, there will be no harm in mdulginghhim. Even should he wish to resume the prefix of Reverend, let him be so styled, for he and Mr.Emith, of Owston Ferry, have conclusively proved that, as Sir Charles Coldstream observed of Vesuvius, " there‘s nothing in it."
