A Conservative adminis tration having been placed in power, the Legislative Council had no difficulty in passing the Sl.lpply Bill. â€"LZachary â€" Chandler, a distinguished Senator of the United States, died suddenâ€" ly of apoplexy at his botel in Chicago on Suturday last. The deceased was an adâ€" vanced Republican and is said to have been for many years the mainstay of that party. However, great regret for his sudden death is expressed by all parties. â€"The Rag Baby agitators formed themâ€" selves into a League on Thursday last in Toronto. The platform of the League is to consist of 1, the duty of the Government to eoin and issue moneyâ€"a duty which it already exercises. 2, to build public works and pay our foreign debts by irrodeemable Government paper money, an undertaking which no Government in the nature of things can carry out. â€"A new daily newspaper, the Port Hope Daily Times has been established in the | town of Port Hope. The Times thong‘t a small sheet presents a vory crodible apâ€" pearance It adopts as its mottoâ€"a& free and united people chorishing British conâ€" nection, aud at the same time eaitorially approves strongly of Conservative tactics in the Province of Quebee. â€" The inconsistâ€" eney hercin presented is very difficult to explam away. However the Tory orâ€" gans «a wonderful facility for blowing bot and cold just as it suits. l â€"John Montgomery, one of the pioneers of the Province, and one who took an actâ€" ive intorest in the early struggles for conâ€" stitutional liberty, died at Barrie on Saturâ€" day last at the ripe ago of 96. From a very full obituary notice which appears in the Globe we learn that Mr. Mon‘gomery wu‘ a fearless advocate of whut he believed to be right, being known for calling "a spade a spade." â€" He was born in New Brunswick and removed to Little York about the close of the century, where he chopped the first tree on what is said now to be the site of the St. Lawrence Hall, Toronto. From that time onwards he was almost constautâ€" ly engaged, one way or another, in pushing the fortunes of that small but intrepid band who were endeavoring to thwart the Famiâ€" ly Compact. â€" He leaves a large family. ‘The chaotiestate into whichParliamentaâ€" ry Government has been thrown for some time in the Province of Quebec has receivâ€" ed a temporary solution. As we stated last week, the House of Assembly met on Tuesday, the 28th ult., and a vote of nonâ€" confidence in the administration of Mr. Joly was carried by a majority of six. Unâ€" der the unprecedented circumstances which led to this vote, Mr. Joly asked for a disoâ€" lution of the House, and au appeal to the people, especially in view of the uncoustiâ€" tutional action of the Legislative Council in refusing the supplies. Mowever, the Lieutenantâ€"Governor, Dr. Robitaille, eould not agree with the views of Lis ministers on this point and refused a dissoluiionâ€"as is undoubtedly his right to doâ€"mainly on the ground thut the cost of a new election, which he estimates at abont $100,000, would be an unwise expenditure in the cirâ€" cumstances of the Province. â€" This contenâ€" tion is something new in the history of constitutional government. . It is certainly the duty of the Lieut. Governor to exâ€" ercise a wise supervision oyer public exâ€" penditure, and to prevent waste and exâ€" travagance in so tar as he is able to do so. And this was the chief ground wpon which Mr. Letellier refused to sancâ€" tion the legislation of the De Boucherville admistration and for which he was so grossâ€" ly abused by the entire Conservative pross. But in the present ease a great counstituâ€" tional question is involved. An irresponâ€" sible Legislative Council took upon itselt to stop the supplies which were approved of by the popualar brguch ef the Legislature reise a wise supervision oyer public "" It thus appears that the reference of the enditure, and to prevent waste and °x | case to England was suggested by Sir John ravagance in so tar as he is able to do| A, Macdonald, although in the communiâ€" w. â€" And this was the chief ground | cation which he made to the House, and apon which Mr. Letellier refused to san¢â€" | which we bave already quoted he endeavâ€" tion the legislation of the De Boucherville | ored to lead the House to suppose that the admistration and for which he was so gr08â€" | Govâ€"Genâ€", of his own accord chose to referâ€" y abused by the entire Conservative PYOSSâ€" the matter to the Imperial authorities.

THE QUEBEC DEADLOCK, Max well Glenelg. Holstein into office,during the last session of the Asâ€" sembly moved over a score of mations of want of confidence and were defeated, have now, by means best known to themselves, secured a majority in the House. Past professions and constitutioral precedents are thown aside and a gress usurpation of the rights of the people condoped, so that an unscrupulous set of partizans of the Otâ€" tawa Government wmay be reinstated in office. However the fiery ordeal through which the Liberal party of Lower Canada is wow passing will undoubtedly be followâ€" led Ly good results. In the past, while posessing many men of the highest charaeâ€" | ter and ability, the Liberal party of Quebec \ included too many who were, if they were IAm't.himz, excessively weakâ€"kneed. Events | now in progress will eliminate the dross and consolidate the bone and sinew of the party, and at no distant day, tried as it has been by the fire of persecution, it will yet gather strength, and he able to emancipate the Province from the grip of personal government which is fast settling down upâ€" on it. The new ministry will be led by Mr. Chapleau, with Loranger, Robertson and Pacquet also occupying seats in the Cabâ€" inet, were members of the De Boucherville ministry, who attempted to take the people by the throat and rob tham of their money and for which they were hurled from power by an indignant public. _ It also includes a Mr. Flynn, a renegade Radical, who was | elected to support Mr. Joly, but who has got his reward and now sits cheek by jow! with the redcubtable Mr. Chaplean. There is thus brought together a happy family to administer the affairs of Quebee, and it is ‘ interesting to observe that dnring the proâ€" | cess of incubation the Right Honorable | Sir John A. Macdonald _ and _ Mr. Langevin, of the "ten thousand" notoriety were frequent visitors at the ancient capiâ€" tal,andthat more recently Mr.Langevin has been in constant attendance. *"*Verbum sat sapienti." economy" of the Dominion. It was surnaisâ€" | ed at the time that the Governorâ€"General | ! was not to blame, and that he was being | made a catspaw of by the wily Premier, for the purpose of throwing dust in the eyes of | the Conservatives of Quebec. This charge was vigorously denied by the Tory press, and the Globe of course was abused for, as was said, endeavoring to asperse the charâ€" acter of the leader of the Government in giving publicity to such baseless opinions. However the whole truth has now come to the light of day, In the despatch sent by the Governorâ€"General to the â€" Imperal Government on the Letellier case which was published in the Globe of Monday, he says that Sir John A. Macdonald calied upon him on Saturday, the 20th of March last and informed him that the decision of the Cabinet was to the effect that the useâ€" folness of Mr. Letellier had gone, and that he must be relieved _ of _ his offices. His Excellency tuen coutinues :â€""I said that Sir John A. must know from what I had already stated to him on this subject that I could not agree in the policy he reâ€" commended, but requested him to give his reason in writing, and told him I should put my reasous against such a policy in writing.

While feeding the threshing machine his left arm was by some means drawn into the machine and had it not been for two men who promptly caught hold of him he would have been drawn in bodily. Dr. Lewis, of Waldemar, was at once sent for, who telegraphed to Orangeville, and Drs. Washington and Armstrong went out ‘ and assisted him in amputating the arm of the poor fellow.

Whether it was that an attempt was made to prevent it or not, Thompson‘s team became unmanageable, and running away, the waggon struck a stump by the roadside, smashing one of the wheels off, and throwing Mr. Beaton and Mr. Thompâ€" son heavily out. Young Thompson mainâ€" tained his hold of the lines, and after a few hundred yards had been run over, brought the horses to a standstill, and on returning with them, found his father and Mr. Beaton lying insensible. After a few minutes Mr. Thompson recovered and was taken to Mr. Crooks‘ residenca on the Fairburn farm, where it was found that his injuries were not of a serious nature. Mr. Beaton was taken to McMeekin‘s Hotel by Mr. Jchn Riley, but before reaching there he died. â€" The cause of his death®aas disâ€" location of the cervical ‘vertebrae. His funeral took place on Wednesday. Mr. Beaâ€" ton was a quiet and unobtrusive man, and was very much respected by all who knew him.

COMPLETION OF THE OFFICIAL INSPECTION oF THE LINE. Tour or IxsrrEction.â€"At a meeting of the Board of the Toronto, Grey and Bruce \ some time ago, it was resolved to get Col. Gzowrki, of Toronto, and Walter Shanley, Esq., C. E., of Montreal, to go over the line ‘ and report on its condition, with the object: of verifying the estimate for the contemâ€" plated change of gange. These gentlemen, anecompanied by Mr. Wragge, General Manager, and Mr. Beatty, Solieitor of the Company, arrived in Owen Sound on Wedâ€" nesday afternuon. They say the line is much better than they expected to find it from the reports they had heard. â€" Col. Gzowski was in Owen Sound thirtyâ€"four years ago, and remembers only one log house. He expressed pleasure at finding such a thrivâ€" ing town on the site of the then wilderness. They left on Tl nrsday to go over the wes ern branch.â€"T imes. Movxt Forest, Oct. 80.â€"Col. Gzowski, of Toronto, and Mr. Walter Shanley, of Montreal, accompanied by Messrs, Wragge and Dickey, passed through here toâ€"day. After having inspected the large railway bridge here, they proceeded to Harriston and Teeswater to complete their profesâ€" sional investigation of the works of the Toronto, Grey, and Bruce Railway. TexswaTter, Oct. 80.â€"It appears that the Directors of the Toronto, Grey, and Bruce Railway have at last set to work energetiâ€" eally to bring about the proposed change of gauge and improvements to the line. Toâ€"day Col. Gzowski, of Toronto, and Mr. Walter Shanley, of Montreal, arrived here, after having made a carefal and thorough inspection of the whole line from Toronto to Owen Sound, and from Orangeâ€" ville to this villaga,. They expressed themselves as greatly astonished at the wonderfal improvements which have taken place in this section of the Province since \ the building of the road, and pleased at the exceeding fertility of the country. It is their intention to report fally as to the condition of the whole line, and to advise as to the widening of the gauge and the correctness of the figures submitted by the Company‘s Chief Engineer as to the cost of contemplated improvements, and generally to advise the Directors.

As alâ€"| ready stated, Hanlan last Thursday receivâ€" | ed back from Courtney the articles which ‘ he had forwarded for signature,. The pubâ€" lic are also aware that Courtney retused to | sign the articles, and thus the prospective ' race for the purse is in all probability off| for this season at least. No unprejudiced: person who has kept the run of this dreary business since the day of the Chautaugua fizzle can fail to see that Courtney has at no time had any notion of a second meetâ€" ing, and that his pretended willingness for a race was merely assumed, in the hope that by entering ungardedly into negotiaâ€" tions for a second race Hanlan might preâ€" jadice his legal claim to the purse. Hanâ€" lan has determined; acting on the advice of his friends, to settle the ownership of the $6,000 in a court of law without further delay. New County Movement.
