We have no doubt what, under ordina- l : ry circumstances, these results will be, l but it cannot be denied that the success l of Mr. llineks’ management will be' anything but gratifying to some persons? who mistake their envy for patriotism. : Mr. Galt, in avowing his hostility tel the Government, disclaimed any sym-l, pathy with the politics of the opposi- ‘. tion. His course is a new illustration} of the co-operative arrangement which 3 wasmade on a memorable occasion be«i tween Herod and Pilate. Mr. Cart-i wright, of Lennox, and Mr. Bowel], ofl North Hastings, reSpectively, appeared: to have aired their independent senti-r ments on the occasion. They belong to the class of ancient Conservatives, and cannot therefore all at once acquiesce in the appointment of an old radical like Hineks. 'l'he radicalism of Baldwin and Hincks is the liberal conservatism of the day, and if we may be permitted to forecast the future, it will he found we predictâ€"that what is now regarded as advanced liberalism, wili oppose the advancement of democracy. There is says Shakespeare, “ A soul of goodness in things evil.” We have already ob- served that Mr. Galt refused to share the responsibilities of a mission, to Eng. land, with Dr. Tapper. The Dootor, under the conviction, we suppose that an adjusting process is constantly going on in this world, regarded it as a duty incumbent upon himself to act co-ordi- nately with an established law in ad. ministering to Mr. Galt a severe but well-merited castigatiori.

We do not hold a the opinions of only give them matzon they 00: Croup may be divided into two‘; kinds, viz': Spasxnodie, or what is com-le monly called false Group; and Inflam matory, or true Croup. Spasmodicé Croup attacks the child suddenly, a1-§ most invariably in the night, generally:l without any premonitory symptoms, in fact the child frequently seems for a time previous to the attack to have been enjoying unusually good health ; and although during the attack the little one ,is evidently in great distress, owing to the difficulty with which it respiresg | each inspiration being accompanied with l that harsh, crowing sound, peculiar to lthis disease in every form, and which l once heard, is ever after easy of. recogâ€" llnition; nevertheless it is far less seri- lous, continuing sometimes only an hour lor so, and seldom lasting over a day, lyielding readily to treatment, subsiding l almost as rapidly as it made its appear- ance, and leaving the child free from any injurious after efi'ects. Inflammatory Group, on the other; hand, is a most dangerous complaint-,1 coming on slowly and insiduously, fre-‘ quently requiring several days to de- velOp itself. In fact the difference be tween these two complaints is so mark- ed that we are greatly surprised that they should be confounded. They are widely different diseases, running a dif~ ferent course, requiring a difierent treat- ment. One so fatal, as to be deemed by some, as almost incurable; the other .seldom ending fatally. The pathologi- ical element in one being confined to a spasm; the other violent inflammation of the larynx trachea, and even of the bronchia, with the throwing out. or rather formation of what is called false membrane. For a few days the child l l l may seem peevish, restless and feverish, E 1 the fever increasing slightly each night,‘ and abating towards morning. There 3. may be a slight discharge from the nose, 3 with more or less redness of the eyes, with frequently a dry harsh cough, the breathing becoming hurried and diffi- cult, until at last it gives out that pecu- liar sound mentoined above, which is a marked symptom of the disease; the cough becomes harsher and more ring- , ling, the countenance livid; the little! tpatient sometimes grasps at its neck, or attempts to put its fingers into its, mouth as if to remove the cause of its! suffering. The child is contending lagainst one of the worst and most re-i ilentless enemies of infancy ; is in immi-l l nent peril, and if not speedily relieved} imust die; in which case each of thei ’isymptoms given grow worse until the} lend.

RED RIVER, Feb. 8, tin St. Cloud, Feb. 19. l Governor Mc'l‘avish'and Dr. Cowan,i the ofiicers of the Hudson’s Bay Com-i pany in charge of Fort Garry, “were! taken prisoners on Saturday evening last. The reason for their arrests has not yet transpired. It is supposed that some new complications have arisen. Governor McTavish, because of his illness, was not placed in the prison,hut is permitted to occupy a room in his :own house, where he is closely guarded { by four insurgents, who are instructed inot to allow him to converse or com- }muuicate with anyone. ARSEST OF GOVERNOR Mc- TAVISH AND DR. GOWAN. Dr. Cowan and' William Hallett are confined in the room lately evacuated by Dr. Schultz. This is in‘tlie same house in which the Canadian prisoners are confined. It is guarded night and day, extra precautions having Been taken since the escape of Dr. Schultz. There is not much chance of escape now, Riell made a demand for the annul- ment of the terms of the Treaty between Ca‘nada and the Hudson’s Bay Company. This demand was defeated by a vote of the delegates, some of whom showed that as it was an Impexial measu'e Can- ada bad no power to amend it. Iiell then threatened to bring 'in a new Bill of Rights, of his own manu- facture, declaring that he was not to be ruled by the Convention or anyone else. This brought on a warm discussion, in which both sides took part. One of the French members replied rather roughly to Riell. The general impression is that dele- gates will be sent to Ottawa, for the purpose of arranging a basis of settle- ment with the Canadian Government. The arrest of Governor McTavisln and Dr. Cowan has occasioned much excitement, but no trouble is apprehend. ed. Postmaster Bonnatyne was also taken into custody on Sunday evening, and is now confined with the other prisoners. The cause of his arrest is unknown. Last night the Compnay’s store of St. Boniface was‘broken into by a gang of half-breeds belonging to a party opposed to Riel. They have been arrested. The excuse they give is that they were in want of food, and had to steal or starve. They promise to pay for what they have taken when they are able. There is a good deal of suffering among the people in consequence of the troubles. Many of them having neglect- ed the hunt and ehace, and having no work to do, are in distress. You need not be surprised ifyou hear of more robberies. shall return to this subject next We have it on the most reliable au- 1 m thority that a despatch was received 3‘ from the Imperial Government on Sat- cr urday last, recommending that the money for the purchase of the North-‘93 West Territory be paid over to the :11 Hudson’s Bay Company by the Canal dian Government, at once. “7e are alsol F informed that it has been decided toi‘, send a military force into the Territory. i t This force will consist of one battery t Iof Royal Artillery, and the Royal Ca- ll lnadian Rifles. They will start from 3 l here in May, and proceed to the Terri- g i l tory by way of Lake Superior. Orders i 1 l to this effect have already been issued,l i ‘and the proper officers have been ’di-ll rected to make the necessary prepara- ‘ tions. The American authorities were 1 ! asked to allow the troops to pass thro’g their country, but they refused to grant!i the request. The troops are not to be [sent to the country for the purpose of ,taking forcible possession, but merelyl lto uphold the authority of the Govern-g ment in case of trouble. The rights! and privileges of the peeple are to bel ’ respected in every particular, and theyi ' are to stand on precisely the same foot- i ' ing as the people in other parts of the! ' Dominion. The cost of sending the}; ll troops out will be borne by the Home . Government.

A measure with regard to our intern- al commerce will be proposed. A Court of Appeal, under the powers conferred by the Union Act, is recom- mended to the attention of the House. Itis intimated that 1871 is that in which the next decenni-cal census is fixed to take place, and his Excellency deems it necessary that some general Act should he passed,securing a uniform system throughout all the Provinces. The Melitta and defence of the Prov- ince,-is referred to, and the spirit and loyalty of the people applauded, and satisfaction is expressed at the efforts made in reference to immigration. His Excellency refers to his travels with the Prince during the su:nn:er,and is pleased with the result of his obscr. ”rations. MMWW PABLIéMENT. The session was opened ivith the. usual formalities, but with unusual ill°i terest, as the Prince was sitting on the righ’t of His Excellency, and theladies fair of the Dominion, were in attend- ance in goodly numbers. Lady Young, Lady Macdonald, Lady Iiincks, the Misses McPherson, of Toronto, Miss McDougal, and others, added much to the charm of the occasion. On motion 05 Sir John A Macdonald to take into consideration the speech from the Throne, the papers in relation to the lied River difficulty were called for, in answer to which, Sir John said the House should be put in possession of every information necessary to an intelligent. vote, before the measures referred to in the speech were discussed. Tuesday 16th was mostly spent in discussing Mr. McDougall’s right to a seat in the House of Commons. OTTAWA, Feb. 17, Mr. Savary, of Nova Scotia, moved the Address, the sentiments of which he echoed. {especting the North- Vest,- he said that the spiritof our institutions required that we should consult the. good of the inhabitants in taking pos- session. Nova Scotia shipping -' was very prosperous, increasing as rapidly in proportion as that ofthe United States declined. Nova Scotia was as one man in their feeling of devoted loyalty to the Crown. He desired a uniform system of currency if possible. He be- lieved the Dominion was entering a l brilliant career of prOSperity. Mr. Sereiver seconded the Address, expressing his approbation oftlxe policy indicated. He said we wanted larger markets, but could not get reciprocity, and should pursue an independent course with the United States. Mr. Holton asked for the ministerial explanation as to the changes in the personnel of the Cabinet. Sir John A. Macdonald stated the reasons at some length. Sir Alex. Galt announced his opposii tion to the Ministry. lie contended that the administration of Sir John had been an utter failure ; that so far, the only satisfactory thing about the Confederation had been the economical and effective Governments of Ontario and Quebec. While he should try to break down the Government. he had no sympathy with the Opposition. Mr. Mackenzie condemned the ar- rangement of a Ministry that had des- troyed the Reform balance of Coalition. After recess, Mr. McDougal made explanations and condemned very ‘ strongly the arrangement, by which the Reform balance in the Cabinet was not maintained. But he yet contended that the Government should be sustained if its policy is in the public interest. Sir John A. Maedonald answered i that the appeal to the country was made ‘1 on a “ No Party” cry, and the members i returned to support the Government. i were elected upon a distinct“No Party” l. issue, to carry out the act of Confeder- ltion. I-le totally denied any breach of faith in altering the basis of the Coa- §lition, and read a letter frcrn Mr. Howl- and in support of this View, also a writ. ten statement of Mr. Aitken. Tit. Blake, at. great length, contend- ed thnt. there was a breach of faiib in altering the basis of the Combination, but that he learned, with joy, that. the Coalition was publicly declared dissol- ved. Mr. Cartwright announced his want of confidence in the Mininisterial re- arrangement, and particularly condemn ed the appointment of the Finance Minister. He stated he would not offer any factions Opposition. Sir F. Hincks-gave his explanation, Iclaiming to have been always a member 10f the Reform party.
