The Western Union Telegraph Company has. inaugurated a money order system, which is quite superior to the Post Oflice money'order system now in use. The plan is ".7 simpleâ€"a person desiring to send a sun! of money to another ata distance, deposits the money in the nearest office to his place of business or residence. The office receiving the money telegraphs the necessary information, with particulars, to the ofice at. which it is to be paid out._. This is done fora nominal fee. Money can theatre paid by one man to another hundreds of miles away, almost as quickly as though the two men were in the same great excitement in the neighborhood of the occurrence. Further developments will nO'd‘ouht arise out of the investigation. All who subscribe money to aid the Fenians are, of course, as guilty in the eye of the law as though they were taken while engag- ed in active hOStiliues with the Fenian invaders. They are, in fact, guilty of treason, or treason felony, and are liable to safer death, on the charge being proved against them. The organogrinders no longer play “The Wearing of the Green,” but devote their energies to “Johnny Comes Marching as awitness for Davis, in a case in the Division Court, Davis against Zwegler.â€" The defendant had some witnesses to swear that Bailey could not be believed on his oath. Bailey left Walkerton and went to Zwegler’s store, in Hanover, and told the boy who attended the store that he had sworn straight up and down on the other side, that Mrs. Zwegler had taken him all through Walkerton and treated him, and said he was to have some goods out ot the store. The boy gave him goods to the amount of adollar and a quarter. Mrs. Zwegl‘er was called and swore that she had not spoken to the prisoner at all, that they were not on speaking terms on account of some swearing Bailey had done 1n a pre- vious suit. The prisoner was convicted. â€" He was some time in gaol trving to get Bail. His wife was in Court with an in- fant three weeks old and they had five more little children at home.

The volunteer had the satisfaction of having a good dinner, but whether he was annihilated or not afterwards, I cannot say.

Reverting to the attitude assumed by the exponents of public opinion in the mother land, we are reminded that the citizens of Montreai prepose to demand a more frank avowal of the intentions of Great Britain in reference to the Do- minion. “76 would, under ordinary circumstances, be surprised that a com- munity so intelligent as that of Mon- treal must he, should be unable to un- derstand the language or interpret the intentions of Great Britain in the with- drawal of its material instruments of defence; but, in this instance, we sus- pect that the authors of the movement have ulterior ends or aims. It is well known that from Montreal the note of Independence has been sounded, in a The great work to be accomplished during the transition state, is the com- pletion of the Confederacy. The gen- eral eagerness to extend the Dominion from the Atlantic to the Pacific, is the harbinger of its destiny. Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island are waiting in anticipation of better terms,- and Brit- ish Columbia has submitted its proposi- tions. These, at the present time, are scarcely ripe for criticism. As present ed, they appear to bo outrageously ex- travagant, hut in a country distinguish- ed chiefly on account of its metaliferous deposits, it should not be accounted ex. traordinary if the mental manifestations should partake of a hardened or metal- lic character; at all events, the union so far, has been constructed Upon a metallic basis. Hu‘miliating as the con-‘ cession may be, it is too obvious for successful refutation, that the most: important factor of the political union? of British America will be found in? two parallel lines of iron rail connec-1 ting the Seas. The studied unfriendliness of the ’ American Government has evoked, on this side, the spirit of self-reliancc--â€" ’ Canada has been unwilling to accept ' the full measure of freedom which sucâ€" cessive Imperial Governments, both Whig, Conservative, and Radical, have been offering. Mr. Cardwell, Lord Carnavon, the Duke of Buckingham, and Lord Granville, have all recognized the doctrine that it is the interest and the duty of the Imperial Government tol withdraw from interference in the inter-l final affairs of those Provinces which are mainly peepled by men of our own race and which are evidently destined to be- ‘come the Empire of the .future. We in Canada, are at this moment com. plaining, and as appears to us not. without good and sufiicient reason, that in de- fending our territory against an attack meant to be offensive to England, we‘ have so little of her active sympathy. -â€" She is abandoning our fortresses, re-p moving the munitions of war, and re-' calling her forces. She repudiates and sets at naught the old theories of Colo- nial government, and bids us to be sat-i isfied with the traditions of her flag and the symbols of her august Crown. Our future relations with the Imperial Gov- ernment are evidently obscure and am determined. Lord Russell has given l notice of his intention to bring up the‘3 subject for legislative considerationâ€"l This is well, not that we suppose it will} : have the slightest influence other than i ‘ in producing a further relaxation of the 3 l ties of, dependence. The time is near at hand, unpleasant as the acknow- i ledgment may be, when the conditions of our relationship with Great Britain , will be regulated rather by diplomacy than by executive action. General Lindsay, in addressing the volunteers after the repulse of the raid- ers, gave them the entire credit of the achievement. He did say, and in this he spoke most truly, that the United States Government could claim no por- tion of the credit. He might have sail, but for the observance of oflicial reti- cence, that the interference, at the last moment, and in the way in which it was put forth, protected the raidersi from a much more disastrous defeat. The inability or unwillingness of the {Government of the United States to {control the element of Irish nationality lwhieh exercises a controlling influence l in that composite Republic, is too appa- [rent to be disputed. In no country, §save the United States, which claims to “rank among the civilized, would toler- ance be given to an organization of its l own citizens for the avowed purpose of attacking its unofiending neighbours, with whom it was at peace, and with whom it was in the constant interchange of commercial and friendly intercourse, iand yet we have the bitter mortifica- tion to find that not only the Govern- meat, but the Press of Great Britain has complimented the American Gov-i ernment upon its attempt to prevent the Fenian murderers from giving praco tical effect to the intent and purpose of the organization which American states. men had nursed through the various stages of its monstrous existence. The laudatory terms which have been used are vehicles of the hitterest irony. In view of the lawlessness and demoraliza- tion which prevails in the United States, the effort to capture O’Neil and other prominent leaders of the sanguinary brotherhood, was indeed a marvellous effort for the purpose of paying appa- rent homage to the forms of interna- tional law.

The loyalty of Canada is not lip-loyalty, it is not associated with any inclination to sponge on the Imperial 'cxehequer. The attachment of Cana: dians to the land of their fathers is: more than a sentiment, it is a chivalrousl @sense of honor. The traditions of thel past, it is true, will gradually lose their hold on the imaginations of succeeding generations, and that statement which found its appropriate outlet in exhibit- ing its estimate of the glories of the mother-land, will draw its patriotic nourishment from native sources. Our capabilities for the exercise of indepen- dent self-government, should be kept in training. The acceptance of an alter- native may be imminent, for the due consideration of which it is wise to pre« pare. key that wag supposed to harmonize with the air of annexation. Is this an attempt to further that object unéet the cover of popular forms? Fire ! Some appointments, for some time past the subject of rumor, in connection with the inspector’s department of the Post Ofice, have been gazetted. Mr. Dewe, at present Inspector in the To- ronto Division, goes to Ottawa, as Chief Inspector of offices; Mr. Sweetman, now in Kingston, comes to Toronto; and Mr. W. R. Barker is to be appointed to the charge of the Kingston Division. There is a repOrt that this mad up. start intends to oppose ou‘r‘ troOps, and that he has summoned to his aid the hunters of the plains. The report is not reliable. He has neither the means nor the men to resist us. “’ith our base of supplies established, and the route Open. ed, our men could be supplemented and armed to any required number, with but trifling exertion and comparatively small expense. Any number of r'olunteers could be procured for Red River ser- vice. The probability is, that Riel will, in due time, “absquatulate” to the United States. This is his best course of procedure, for there is that Scott murder holding against him yet! Our Indian Agent at the Northwest Mr.- Pither, 13 reported to have just re- turned from a visit to all the Indian tribes in that part of our Dominion.

Questioned res- pecting the'raid, in the House of Lords, ‘ the Colonial Secretary stated that the perial difliculty in Canada moved a: radical Imperial government. And hardly had the affair at Cook’s Corners taken place than the new order was countermandedr We are surely livingI in strange times.

In this way, amid the competition of the town and the city, you will always be before the public eye, and some will take the hint and step in and buy of you. i i We lay it down as a proposition that cannot be gainsayed, that any one who can receive one cent over and above all that he pays for an advertisement, makes something by the operation. Sup. pose you expend ten dollars for an ad. i vertisement and secure an increase of : patronage in your business that will give you a profit of one cent over and above what you otherwise would obtain. Will not this return to you all that you expended and add other and perhaps many customers to your trade? To be sure you may be out of pocket ten dol- lars for the adventure, but it is more than returned to you besides the in- crease in the number of your patrons: and friends, which may in course of time be worth thousands to you.

One 'hundred thousand acres of the best tim- her is out every year to supply the de. mand for railway sleepers alone. For railroad buildings, repairs and cars, the annual expenditure in wood is thirty- oight millions of dollars. In a single year the locomotives in the United States consumed fiftyosix millions of dollars worth of wood. There are in the whole country moro’than four hun- dred thousand artisans in wood; and if the value of their labor is one thousand dollars ayesr each, the wood industry of the country represents an amount of nearly five hundred millions of dollars per annum.

It is said that his daughter, when dying, clasped her arms about his neck and made him swear never to take the life of a white man. Since then he has of- ten averted the hand of rapine and murder from falling on the defeneeless settler. Therefore unless Mr. Fisk, junior, add}: an additional pair of horses to his elegant equipage,'th‘e title of champion charioteer must go to Helmhold, who by the alchemy of advertising has put buchu on a par with gold. L “ Dr. 11. T. Helmhold will be out in f gorgeous array this season at Long 'lBranch in his new six-in-hand drag T phaeton. The drag is capable of seat- ing eight persons besides outsiders, for , whom there is a handsome run'ble seat. attached to the rear of the vehicle.â€" The inside is superbly finished, the cushions and linings being of costly drab serge, trimmed with silk broad lace. The body, though massive, is strictly after the latest English models, but is not as cumbersome. It is paint- ed arich wine color. The mouldings, which give the graceful outlines to the exquisite design, are finished in gold, relieved with beautiful edgings of car- mine. The wheels and running gear fare colored in the same shade of car- mine, striped in black and gold, and E bordered with delicate lines of drabâ€"I The trappings, lead bars, pole-hooks, sockets and fastenings for the leaders display the finest workmanship. They are all forged, and burnished, and heavily plated with gold. Suspended to the outriders’ seat is a neat and novel arrangement for carrying the extra lead bars. The side lamps of this excellent turnout are of an entirely new pattern, of the finest workmanship, and add won- derfully to the gorgeousness cf the equip- ; age. On the panels of the carriage, in gold, shaded with a delicate tinge of crimson, is the monogram, H. T. H., very artistically designed. A very im- important feature in the construction of the drag is a brake, used by the driver ‘ with ease by the slightest pressure of l the foot, so that the high-spirited team,l ‘ in case of accident, can at once bet checked. The works of this novel i , a brake are neatly concealed from View.” 1 “ The bitbosses which are to be fast ened to the rides of the bits are of heavily plated gold, each bearing the monogram “J. F., Jr.” The bits are of nickle plate. The martingales, which are of gold plate, are very heavy,’ and each of them carries a centre shield, on which the monogram again appears.â€" The gag-drops are of gold ; so are the brow-bangs and the coupling ringsâ€"3 Below each of the rings a shield Will! dangle, and on this shield the Fisk mon- gram will again appear. The twelve rosettes to be worn by the horses will be of gold, each illustrated by the Fisk monogram. The hooks, tcnits, hames, and buckles are of gold, as are also the drops, face-pieces, and pads. The whole equipage, including horses and carriage, will cost $535,000. Over one hundred l and forty monograms will appear on the harness. The mountings for this splen- did turnout are the finest ever made in this country.” Mr. Fisk, junr., has a foeman worthy of his gold in the person of H. T. Helmhold, compounder of a medicine called “huchu” which is more than a match for the most dangerous diseases; i although advertising and not buchu was the means whereby Mr. Helmhold ac- quired his money. Mr. Helmbold'de- termined to eclipse Mr, Fisk, junior, has bought him a coach and six horses for $50,000, of which the following is a short description : There is much truth in the old say- ing about the internal proclivities of a lbeggar when mounted on horseback.â€" Men who arrive at wealth by devious paths seldom know how to use it with- out making themselves objects of uni- versal ridicule. Mr. James Fisk, ja, isa good specimen of the American Dive. He may be truly called a “smart” man. He was born in New Jersey, although Massachusetts, we need hardly say, was the cradle of his forefathers. Of his early days nothing authentic is known beyond the fact that he gave little promise of attaining to {his present position. He did not wax jgrcat all at ones like a bubble, or a lpumpkin or a tyrant, but he slowly {gathered and garnered the wealth that i now enables him to drive a drag second in grandeur to none, save to that of Dr. H. T. Helmhold. Mr. Fisk started life: as a pcdlar of notions and clocks‘ throughout the New England. States; he was then conspicuous for his shabby clothes, and notorious for his ability to drive ahard bargain. After years of patient peddling he amassed enough to enable him to become connected on Wall street, where his cuteness and in- ability to discriminate between “ mine” and “thine” brought him at once to the front, and speedily made him master of the gold “corner.” He has now desert- ed his pedlar’s cart and bought for him- selfa six-in-hand drag, at an expense, including horses, of $35,000.

Riel doubts the good faith of the Canadian Government, and is surprised that. after the Manitoba Bill passed Parliament, troops should be sent forward to Red River. of his partisans think that it is i to lull the Winnepegians into masterly j inactivity in order to make the Canadian 1 troops steal a march on them,- and I -Many OUR TROOPS TO FIGHT THEIR WAY.

He advises that in- stead of importing, as the Yankees did, Coolies to do the woxk, good English laborers should be taken out and partly paid for their Work in the wild land along the road. These men would thus become permanent settlers. Our talented and enterprising Emiâ€" grant Agent, Thomas White, Esq., lately read a paper before a large as- sembly in London, from Mr. Laidlaw, the great railroad advocate, which showed that the early construction of a railway through British territory on this continent, to the Pacific Ocean, as quite feasib'e. Mr. Laidlaw shows that the road could he made by the forma- tion of a private company, which could be incorporated; that a government grant of land would be necessary, in alternate blocks along its route; that the bonds of the company should be guaranteed by the government to a certain extent, say $15,000 per mile.â€" He thinks that with the land bonus and this guarantee sufiicicut capital could be at once procured. He supposes that the full cost of the road would be about It is of vital importance both to the interests of British Columbia and also l of the whole Dominion that this Pacific *Railroad be made at an early date.â€" Without it we are isolated from the Pacific, and settlement of our immense Northwest Territory is rendered de- pendent upon our southern neighbors. Without it we cannot compete with the Americans in the matter ofimmigration, nor exhibit that enterprise which is de- manded at our hands. Sincerely do we 5 trust that British Columbia will he firm in her demand for this,for the Dominion has resources at her command abund- antly suflicient to enable us to do all that that colony ask of us. The terms which this colony proposes for her entrance into the Dominion, seem, upon the whole fair, and such as can at least be hepefully discussed. â€"- The financial part of the proposition seems rather exorbitant; but an abate- ment may be agreed upon. In reference to this, British Columbia, like Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, merely seeks to make the best bargain with us that she can. There can be no doubt that if the grant be paid per head, the payment of interest, c., that is, the mere financial arrangement, were the only points in discussion,the bargain would be quickly struck. There is a more important matter, however, which has to be taken up, and which the people of British Columbia consider a isz'ne qua non, viz: the Pacific Railroad. ,What is asked of us in reference to: Iroads is, a Waggon road from Lake Superior, on which shall be regularly carried Her Majesty’s mails, and which road shall be completed; within three years from the passing of the Act which shall bring British Columbia into the Confederacy. Upon this colony enter- ing the Union, a survey is to be made of the long talked of Pacific Railroad. This railroad is also to be commenced, that is, in its actual construction, within three years from the passing of the Act admitting British Columbia, and one million of dollars at least expended upon it annually till the Whole is com- pleted. .‘Ei Correspondent Daily News from Pembina.
