R, was held at Holstein, on Tuesday last, for the purpose of hearing the deputa- tion from Toronto, on the abject of grantxng the bonus to fire above road. It was deemed right that the ratepayo ers should have «the first opportunity ‘of speaking, and Mr. \Vakefield, Reeve, was'called up, and in his straightfor-~ ward, sensible manner, reviewed the subject, pointing out that it would be suicidal for Egremont to grant such a bonus to build the road only to Mount. Forest, and thus cripple itself for future action; hepointed out that if the By law took efieet from the lst of Novem- ber next, as provided, they would have to raise money .next Fall to pay four months interest and a portion of the Sinking Fund ; and on many other ac- counts showed that the Township had better wait a little, and see whether the N arrow Gauge would answer this snowy country. He resumed his seat ‘éiiiidst much applause. Mr. W. A. Stevenson dccupied tbé chair. Ald. Baxter, was the only To ronto gentleman ~preeent, the other members of the deputation having got stuck in the snow in Peel, were unable to be present. The Mount Foresters were rpresent in full force. The chairman then called Mr. John Naismith, .who advised the people to vote for the By-law, and warned them against trusting the W. G. B: Coy. Railway Meeting in Egremont Mr. Alex. Davidson next spoke, and the conditions on which he would vote for the By-laws, which were such that there is no danger of his voting for the present one. Mr. John Quinn spoke a few words which brought upon himself the indig- nation of the meeting. M 1'. Thomas Smith declined to speak. Mn. Allen then briefly but very well stated his objections to the Bylaw; ' Mr. McMullen, of Mount Forést, spoke fluently for some time, and made a very good speech, from a Mount Forest standpoint. Mr. Swanston spoke strongly vand well against. the bonus being granted. The Deputy-Reeve was next called, and spoke in favor of the By-law, hut promised not to vote for ratifying it ex- cept on several conditions, two of which were, that the station should be on this side of the river at Mount Forest, and that N ormnnhy should ratify a By-law on the same day, and at the same place, so that they could not shirk doing so; we may safely conclude that, even if the By-law were carried, there is no danger of its being ratified if Mr. N. McIntyre keeps 1118 promise, He attempted to quote Scripture, which caused displeas- ure among some of the audience. Mr. Thomas Robertson, of Dundas, was called. This gentleman spentrryast. of his time in belaboring the W. G. 65 B. 13., for not having given the Bond to Normanby; yet be fairly acknow- ledged that the Normanby Council were equally to blame for not having issued their Debentures, and thus put the Co. in a corner. If Mr. Adam Brown’s head had been within reach, it seemed probable that the butt-end of Mr. R.’s cane would'have come down somewhere in the neighborhood of the top of it, One of the speakers had said that the whole dificulty was contained in a. nut shell. Mr. R. thought he cracked it and found a very bad kernel, for he gave the late Reeve of Normanbyâ€"Col. Smith â€"a fair share of abuse, and though pro- fessing to be too gentlemanly to call him aliar, yet declared that he had told a downright falsehood. Mr. Thos. Brown, Treasurer, next spoke a few words against the Bylaw, when As Durham, and Mr. Jackson, but received no little abuse from the Mt. Foresters, the Rev. \V. B. Evans, the only citizen of Durham who was present, was called to his feet and said that though a public speaker, yet Railroad speeches were out of his line, still he felt he must say some- thing to correct a false impression, and would endeavor to do so without quoting Scripture. He said that while the peo- ple of Durham would prefer a broad gauge read, they were ready, he be- lieved to a man, Mr. Jackson not except- ed, to go in for the Narrow Gauge if it would come up through the county. He pointed out that what Mr. J. had always urged was let the townships of Grey be united and reserve their strength till the road approached the Lorder of the county. He advised the ratepayers to see the road tried first and to hold them- {selves as a unit, and felt sure that Grey iwas not so green as to vote its money i into another county. Alderman Baxter was next called, and Spoke in a. stranghtforward and honest way, urging the people to vote for the Bylaw; he answered all the questions asked and would make no rash promises on behalf of the company but. all his eloquence failed to affect the peo- ple, and they wete'at least 7 to 1 against. the By-law. The Reeve of Mount Forest then made a few remarks in favor of tie By- law. Holstein is near the south end of the centre ward and. some in favor of the Byolaw said that. many much further down in the township were against it, and the general opinion was that it would be voted down by a large major- ity. The meeting then broke up, as it was near time to be at. McCulloch’s black: smith shop for the next. The first oflioial act of Senator Revels, the colored man who succeeds Mr. Jef- ferson Davis as senator for Mississippi, was the presentation of a state resolu- tion asking for Jefl’s pardon.

Governor MeTavish and Dr. (Iowan, who were pieced in confinement, after being deprived of their liberty for ten days, were released on Thursday last; and to night Cownn has received warn- ing to leave his house, as it has been confiscated by the Government of i’resi- dent. Riell. A council, consisting of twelve English and twelve French delegates, 15 Very shortly ’to be elected ' ’ ' ‘ It. is announced that the Canadian prisoners are to be released. Dr. Wil liam Hallett however, must find security to the amount of four hundred and fifty pounds that be will keep the peace. Judge Black, the Rev. Mr. Ri'ehat, a Roman Catholic clergyman, and Alfred Scott are the names of the delegates who have been appointed to visit Can- afla. ‘ Dr. Schultz has been ~declared out lawed, and his property has been seized and confiscated by Riell. In the House of Commons, after the ] presentation of several petitions and re 1 turns, Sir ’George Cartier said that the 5 Government had as yet received no ac 3 count. of the loss of life at Red River. 1 In reply to Mr. Masson, M. Langevin : said that the Government did not intend , to place any sum in the estimates for l the purpose of paying ofi' the debt due l to Mr. Br.cwster “Sir George Cartier, 1 in reply to M. Dufresne, said that the 1 Government had not paid $300,000 to l the .Hudson Bay Company for their f territory. After a general discussion j on harbours of refuge, Mr. Grant moved for reports resgccting the Nipegon coun- . try, and advocated the construction of a , railroad through that territory to the . Red River. He urged upon the Gov- ernment the necessity of a careful geo- logical survey, and believed that at some future day it would be necessary to pro- vide railway facilities between the Do- minion: and British Columbia. Mr.‘ Simpson felt much interested in the sub- ject, and from all he could learn, be. lieved that a road through the Nipegon country could be constructed at a less cost than 1:221 Thunder Bay lie hadl been informed on good authority that, l if the North \Vest disturbances held outi until Spring, it was the intention of the American government to send 1,500 settlers into the country, and the only way to avoid war would be to open up ldi1eet routes of communication and to lget the country peepled as speedily as! possible. Mr. Chamberlain said that public opinion was in favor of the 1m- mediate construction of a Railroad tel § Red River. Mr. Harrison stronglyl {advised the Government to delay no ' longer in the opening up of the country. l He believed that the unfortunate occur- l rences of last December might have been I av oidcd if efforts had been made to l establish easy communication, instead of canals and waggonvroads through the bush, which were not what the people 1 wanted nor satisfactory to the require. ments of trade. He thought that money would be better spent in building a rail- road than in taking away’ lives. Mr. Huntington, judging by the pregress made in the construction of the Interco- lonial, believed that it would take ages to complete a railroad to Red River, ,‘ I l l and thought the best plan was to make l arrangements with the Northern Pacific Railway company to construct a branch to Fort Garry. M1. Howe said that if any delay had taken place on the Inter- colonial it could not be attributed to the Government or to the CommissiOners‘. '1 he Province of Ontario could not be. held altogether blameless. The con-' tractors had come down from Ontario and after drawing the money for the work done by “blue-noses” had ,gonel away without paying them. The pro-; gross of the International could not bel compared with that of the Pacific rail- way, for on the latter Chinese labor had' been largely employed, which was an available in. this country. The Govern- mentshmddmake every efiortto build a route to the Red River through Brit- ish territory, and in the meantime we . could use the ’American route. Mr. . Mackenzie deprecated any discussion , on the Red River during-the absence . of Mr. M acdougall. He could never consent to subsidize a foreign company . to build a road into that country. Mr. A. P. Maedouald believed that if the Government would give a grant of sixty million acres of land and twelve million dollars that there was a company vvil- ling to undertake to build a railway from Ottawa to Fort Garry in five years. After several unimportant motions had been proposed and carried the House adjourned.â€"Lcader. Two children were nearly lost in a snow-drift a short time since in Kincar- dine township,- but were 'providentially: rescued by an Indian, who took them to‘ his Wigwam, and-his equaw fattended to them carefully. Next day he went to their parents and found their mother nearly insane with grief. Great was her relief, and that of her husband, who returned after searching in vain all night. The father gave the Indian all the pork and flour he required on a hand sleigh and found the children in the Wigwam sonnd aslee, rolled up in deer skins, and a great hear skin over l Parliament on Monday“ THE WHY-WEST. From the 0. S. Time. As our readers will have seen hy the intelligeneo“ whiehgye published ”exclu- sively lasttweoks, the deputation so Ot- tawa from the township of Amab‘el has sneeeeded in gaining fmm the Seéretary‘ of State assurances of relief to the settlers on the Indian Lands. Believ- ing that anything which relates to the subject will be of interest to a large portion of our readers, we .‘pfiblish a copy of a letter addressed by Geo. Jack- son, 31.13., to theSecretary of State.â€" Mr. Jackson has always taken a warm interest in the ease of the settlers on the Indian Peninsala, and to his efforts main- ly haVe been due any concessions here- tofore granted to “them. The ease in their favor is well put in the subjoined letter '5 Horn-n or Connors, ‘Ornws, 3 February 24th, 1870. Starâ€"I hadjhe honor some eight months since to address a letter to Mr. Postmaster Gampbell, which was laid before the Gov. ernment, relative to certain difficulties in which purchasers of Indian Lands on the Sauge'en Peninsula were placed, I have , reason to believe that the representations: contained in that letter were in some men ‘ sure instrumental in procuring, for such as- werc able to make further payments on their iands before 1870, the advantage of a further reduction in accrued interest. While that: was regarded as an evidence of the desire of the Indian Department to encourage settlers to make payments by the offer of conditional abatement of interest, I regret to say that few, if any, were in a position to avail themselves of the privilege. Such as did pay up did not in fact improve their condition, for in order 'to make such pay- ment «they borrowed from capitalists and Building Societies at a higher rate of in- terest. I am not unaware of the arguments suggested by a rigid commercial view, such as that the purchasers were parties to the bargain, and that the Indian Department Act simply as a Trustee in the management of these lands; but I respectfully submit that the Government, in the disposal of the public domain, stands in the relation of Trustee to the one party as well as to the other, the power of equitable adjustment is reposed in the Executive. As an illustration of my reasoning, I may refer to the mode of procedure in reference to the School Lands held in trust also, which are situated immediately south of the line, which bounds the Indian Peninsula. The School Lands were offered at the upset price of $2 per acre, and in every instance to my knowl- edge where they were purchased ata higher : price by reason of competition, the govern- ! ment in the case of each actual settler re- ; duced the price to the original upset figure. I am given to understand that the Indian lands generally,â€"at least those which were sold ten or twelve years since, during a; period of speculative enterprise,-â€"were run up te-very extravagant figures, and that on j being more minutely examined, coincident with the piocess of clearing, they were found to be of a very inferior character from an agricultural point of View. Evi- deuce of these facts is before the Depart- ment, and persons from the County of Bruce, having some official status in muni- cipalities within the bounds of the Indian Peninsula in the County of Bruce, are now in Otvma with a View of bringing the whole case under my review. May I be permitted to say that in my judgment the case of these settlers should be ameliorated by some general measure of relief of the kind extended to purchasers of School Lands, viz., by adopting the upset prices as an apprOpriate valuation in the case of settlers, and that the measure of relief he applied to the lands of this class in Grey as well as in Bruce. " Sm J. A. MACDONALD has introduc- ed an Election Bill in the General Le- gislature, whith will most probably be- come law. It IS liberal 1n its provisions, but very lengthy. It confers the tram. chise, in cities, on proprietors who own real estate to the value of $400 or over, on lease-holders paying not less than $30 annually, and on persons deriving an in- come of not less than $400 a year from their profession or investments. In towns the franchise shall be, for proprie- tors, $300 ; tenants, $20 per annum; and incomes, $400.. In counties proprietors $200, tenants $20, and incomes $400. There is to be but one day’s polling, but all elections need not be on the same days. Three commissioners are to be appointed in each electorial division to make up and revise the first roll of elec- tors but subsequent rolls are to be re- vised by an ofiicer appointed for the purpose, who shall be known as the re- vising barrister.- Every possible pro- vision is made in the bill to secure the purity of elections.
