But Mr.McDoxxe11 had to struggle early against the approaches of that insidious diseaseâ€"cousumptionâ€"and was finally comâ€" pelled to abandon the laborious duties of the journalist.‘ He continued, however, while: health permitted, to be an occasional contriâ€" butor to the Chromicle, and we have reason to believe that his name was retained on the staff of that paper, 'he-*ling health no. longer permitted him to contribute :o its columms. .

Leavess. 129a To the Editor of THE TIMES : S1x,â€"â€"In your issue of Saturday last, " & New Brunswicker," after ,a long silence, s reappeared in another of his characteristic articies on the subject of the route. . This is evidently the same protean writer, who, over the signature of © Ontario," claimed. to speak for the people of Western Canada, over that of ©a Noca Scotian,‘ he pretended «to be the mouthpiece of that Province; over that of 4 Confederate,‘ he became the weak «pologist of his St. Stephens frien Is, who have, J perceive, taken my hint, and stopped his officious championship, lest he might still further damage their cause, aiready weah enough. Now, he reappears as © a New Brunswicker," but under all his disguises, the same animus is .t:m“, and the same style oi argument. He not wit enough to see that mere perâ€" soual abuse, the imputation of unworthy moâ€" tives, and ‘mudacious misstatements, must incâ€" vitably lead to disgraceful deféat, and gover thé wiitr who employs them with wellâ€" merited, contempt. _ Declining my challenge to assume his own rame, he still prefers toâ€" shower abuse on all who will not accept his falsehoods as pure and unadalteratod truth, and his palpableelfâ€"interest as the prompting of the most lofty and selfâ€"sacrificing patriotism, As I have fully exposed his faencacity over his former signatures, I propese to follow* bim as long as he pursues his tortuous course over his present nomâ€"deâ€"plume. _ Agrain challenging him to strip off his disguiss and let the public, for whom he pretends to writs, know him perâ€" sonally as well as I do, and jadge to" thewâ€" sclves who are pulling the wires of .(hfs ready out plo Rexaway.â€"On Saturcay, as into the market and backed n it« place, the horee, for soms chose to gallop off, ta tie const bystanders who zin in alt diree way, and had not the stout a fellow seized nim by the Loo t= the girl who remained in the have been spriously inju«ed. the camage done was the scil of buter about the wiagon, ant it as to induce the ewner to sell and f puppet, L am quits rady to moct hiin on this ground, and compare character, standivg, moral worth and motives with his own or those of his masters.â€" Let this be a sufficient answer to all the mean inisnuations contained in this his last production, white I examine some of the misstatements with which it abounds. P @ New Brunswicker" says that he was acquainted with the politicians and politics of New Branswick, when his opponent wis an in~ fant, because he is well on to half a century old, and be ids that if his opponint knew him, e would scarcely question " New Bruncâ€" wicker‘s" better opportunities tor becoming & « quainted with the different sections of the Province, their felings and interests, Now in reply to this, I bave to say that I know this writer well and all nis auteo douts; that I am newly it not quit: his equal io years; that when we were buth boys aud young men, I bad better opportunities than be boasts of for knowing the politics of our Province; tuat ever since I have bad superior oppertaaitics; that I belicve I know the different sections of the Province quite as well as he does, and, that in point of general intelligence, and all the qualities on which be ‘prides himself, I am ready, as I before said, to make my NAwe known and to compare with him, jJust as soou as he throws off the disguise he was the firet to assume. e was . This much I have thought it dus t> myself t»say; now I am reaiy to appeal to " the standard of fact, and see how his statements will look when measured by that standard, He.admits the existence of a clique of anâ€" nexationist« in St. John, but says he has never heard of auy such in Charlotte, Ac#a only say in reply that I ®uspected his boasiecd knowledge of New Brunswick was1 assumed, and he now admits that such is the fact. I do most unequivocally eswrt that these cliques are the most active and unscrupulous advoâ€" cates of the Frontier route, and that this writer is playing into their hands, whetherhe intends . t or not. be excused, Lecause " they never imagined @that such an insane act would be committed * by "the Goveinment of Legislaturs of the «Deminion, as carrying the Iotetrolonial by # the Northern line." Now, if this writer is as well acquaintcd with the politics and poliâ€" ticians of his native Province as I am, he must know, as I do, that there never was a wellâ€" grounded hope of «ny orher route being agreed to by the British Government. He must know that every proposition to carry the road by a Frontier royts has beena met by a refusal to give the guarant :e, and that a special reserva« tion was made thatany route d »parting much from that recommended by Msjor Robinson must be subject to the approval of the J:. perial Government, If " New Brunswicker" coul}ss this, I refer him to the correâ€"pondence exâ€" tending over 30 years, to be tfound in the Journals bf Assombly, and it his acquaintance with prblic maiters is only hall as fuil as he boastingly usserts, h« has no excuse for the ‘mendacious statement he has dared to make over an assumed name. With regard to his long and most unfair tirade against the Nortb, it is so palpably and disgustingly false that I need waste no time in exposing it. s e redmep â€"He endeavors to show that the " inertaess displayed by the people of the Cential, Southâ€" era and Western parts of the Prevince," is to â€"I again assert, and I dars this bold falsifier to deny, that the © railway resolutions** were hurried through the Local House by mere trickery ; that the Northera members begzed for time to prepare g-plha to the long and fal« lacious arguhisnts advanced by those who were mure cat‘sâ€"paws ant toois in the hands of those who pulled the wires, the most proâ€" minent of whom is in Ottawa; that this was refused, and a division.pressed for before the Northera: members had a chance of reply. I have now in my possession letters from Northâ€" eta memmbers wholoudly complain of the inâ€" decent haste with which this © lit.‘e game" was m.cuaged, so as to prevent them trom exvosing the fallacies and misstitements advagced by the introducer, and those who supported him.

Mon, Mr, MCCULLY in seconding the moâ€" " tion said that he was not quite satisfied lhft ’thls Senate had any power in the matter. | Me had seconded this Bilfpro forma, because ' he was anxious it the Sebate has this power | to give hiun every mssistance he could.. If | the Senate had not this power, there ought | to be a power vested in some organisation to give the relef sought by this Bil. He was | afraid his hon. friend had fallen into the erâ€" | ruz of thinking that this Senate possessed the | power the late Legislative Council of Canada | had betore the Union. He considered that | ts Senate as constituted under an Act of | the Imperial Purliament did not possess | powers as a court to discharge these funcâ€" | tions, If this ‘was nothing more thas a: \Act of Parliament, then they are right in [ proceeding. _ [ .7 . C .. Hon. Mr. BUREAU did not object so much to the mere separation of & man and wife, as to allowing the parties afterwards to marry, and he cited the United States to _ prove . the _ ruinous . evils such acts have on the movals, wellâ€"being, and the entire social interests of communities. Me had collected some statustics which proved. us him at least, conclusively, that in that country where the laws of divorce obtain there were about ten cases daily, or 3,000 yearly, thereby depriving about 9,000 chilâ€" dren of the fostering care of one «uf their natural protectors at least. Hence see the result3. Hon. Mr. McQULLY said the difficulty in this Dominion was that they had no other court for these cases; HMe would like to see this subject entirely withdrawa from Parliaâ€" ment, because, in this large Dominion, these questions would be constantly coming up, and this Parliamert would be frequently called upon to deal with individual cases. In England they have laws which enables thein to deal with this question without its coming before Parliameni at all. The Briwâ€" ish Parlizsuent have conferred the power to act in these cases, and if this Biil is thrown out without a gecond reading, the case s prejudged before we get the evidence, and no uther person can sucgeed in future. Hou. Mr. MILLER admitted this was the correct mode to udopt, but regretted that any question should be brought before Parliaâ€" ment which necessarily brought up distineâ€" tions between creeds and religions betiets of hon. members of this House. _ He was sure the majority of this House would support this measure, but thought \‘Lrnkmhle that a special court be :Fpoin to try such cases, «lthough decidedly opposed to the law Jf divoige. it cases, holding ount inducements to infidelity to matrimonial vows. rUinut holdin Hon,. Mr. KENNY did not object to sepaâ€" rating a bad wile.or a bad huoo&Lnd from their lawful . partner, but according to the doctrines of his church he ubjected to the parties being allowed to marry agais. Hou. Mr. LETELLIER oe St. JUST did not oppose the Bill for the mere sake of oppoâ€" sition, but wished the minority to put their ipinions on record, and that they shnould have an opportunity of doing tueir duty, _ Moo. Mr, TESSIER would have Eeferrod that the r.otion in‘ opposition had beea put vat at once, so as to muke it unnecessary to argue again the objections at the .‘mm stages. O( course he was opposed desidedly Mon. Mr. FERRIER did not think the opponents of the Bill would be in any worse position on uccount of this Committee being wppointed, which will be composed of gentleâ€" men of the highest quahfications, and he was perfectly satistied justice would be done. _ Mon, Mr. CHAPAIS (in French) did not callâ€"in question the right of the Senate to deal with the question of divorce; but denied the wisdom, propriety or moral right of exerâ€" cising that power, _ He opposed the second reading from a sense of duty, not #s Minister, but as a member of the great Christian famâ€" ily. <Men of variqus religious opinions had looked on divorce as a wrong, and he would always do all he could to prevent the spread of what he must say, he considered as danâ€" gerous principles, and ruinous to the whole social fabric. ¥‘ â€" § to divorce, and must, in duty, oppose the measure.

Mr. CHAPAIS wished to repeat in Eoglish what he had said in French, and would prefer that the actions for divorce, it such there must be, should be tried by. this House rather than committed to a\Court of Justice. 1 ToL. l C GELUEY 1 1 s Hon, Mr. BUREAU moved in amendment, secondeéd by the HMon.

THE SENATE. Mr, MILLE i opposed the divorce as to the best interests of society, and out facilities in many casesto gratity desires, by the Logislature legal.z ure marmagee, and â€" consequently d oppose the second reading of the Tucrsovay, April 30, 1868. (Continued.) T Hon. Mr. REESOL said that when an apâ€" propriation was made for printing, it was imâ€" possible to tell the amount ot work to be done, or the precise sum of money which would be required for the work, therefore, if there was any defi¢iency the printers would either have to wait until the next meeting of Parliament, or take less tiran was agreed upon for their work, but if there was a surplus and no law that this surplus was to be carried over until the next year, what was to be done with it ? Was it to be divided among the printers, or among the members 0 the commmittee? Surâ€" plas money is too often disposed of in a careâ€" less manner. _ It this report was adopted the House would know what was done with every cent of the imoney appropriated for printing. He would read the clause : * That there be a distinct appropriation for the printing of Parliament, sessionally, to be lodged in the bands of the Accâ€"antant of the House of Cothmons, in sugh sums a8 may be required ; and be disbursed by him under the ceruficate of the Clerk ut the Commnittee; and accoustâ€" ed lor in the Annual Balance Sheet, whueu shall inclade all eme of maaagement, so as to show the whole cost of the printing serâ€" vices, directly and indirectly," and now comes what the Postmaste®General would strike Hon. Mr. SIMPSON observed that there had been so much said about this report, that he wouldnot detain the House with any lengthy remarks upon the subject. He had had some conversation with the Postmaster General aud other ‘members of the Government upon this matter, und they were perfectly well satisfied that the report was mgut in the main, and therefore, bhe did not understand why so much fuss had been made over it. In regard to the salary of the cleck, he would repeat once more that they were ooly giving him one hundred dollars beyond what he had formerly. The late Province of Canada at one time gave him $350, and it was cafterwards reduced to $200; but now they had become a large Domiaon, keeping more books, and spending more muney, the Committee thought they would gnot be very far wrong in asking this House to grant an additional $50, the other 850 to be granted by tne other House. Mr. Hartney was an wssistant clerk in the cther House, and reâ€" ceived $2,000 a year, ard we bave induced him to give us his services for the amount named, but us be, in attending to these duties, has to remain here for a considerable time after the adjournment of the House, we thought this increase should be made. He had no hesitation in saying that if we had to empluy a competent clerk to do this work, we should not get him for less than $2,000 a year. The Government were willing the report should be adopted with the exception of this increase of salary. _ He (Mr. Simpson) did not concar with them in this view of the matter, therefore, he would leave it to the House to determine, and he would now move the adoption of the report. _ Hon. Mr. CAMPBELL had acknow!â€" edged the advantageous resalts which auendâ€" ed the labors of that comumnittee, but there were two poinis in which he could not agree with this report. _ The first change he wished to make was in that section which provided that unexpended balances should be carried over fronm one Session to another. That would be attended with some inconâ€" venience, as had been said by the gertleman who has charge of the ficarces otf the Doâ€" minion, and it was desifable that no unapâ€" propriated balances should be carried over, but that when money is wanted a new vyote should be given. 1t was under the impresâ€" sion that he had obtained the concurrence of his hon. friend (Mr. Simpson) in this change, that he ‘had satisfied him that the Government had given their consent to the passing of the report. The next change he desired to make was in regard to the salary of the clerk. _ He had‘said yesterday that he thought Mr. Hartsey was an officer who was cmill!Fed to this increase in hisâ€"salary, but he thought the moment inopportuoe to augment his salary when other officers who periormed services just as valuable had b*u ubliged to suffer their salames to be difiinished. It seemed invidious to increase his salary, and more sc, as he was an officer of the other House, and they Rad pronounced upan his sulary as they had pronounced upon the others. _ It was not respectful to them after they had reduced his salary for us to make up the amount to him in this way. _ _Hon. Mr. ANDERSONâ€"â€"Have the House of Commons adopted the report in which this wdditional $100 is added to the Clerk‘s salâ€" what the Postm eneral wo* strike out, ** Andsshould N‘h. ullbop.- priation remain unexpended, it s car med tothe credit of printing for the succeedâ€" ing Session, or in case of deficiency to be likewise shown." . He (Mr. Reesor) thought that clause should remuin as it was, in order that the House might know whether there was auy deficiency or baluoce remaining. In regand to the ufl\ry of the clerk he loui the ground that every officer in either House should be paid according to the value of his avrvices as regards ability, .responsibility, wod the value of his labor to the House. They should take into consideration the ser vices of w:uy in connection with the Frinting mittee, and he(Mr. Reesor)knew what these labors were, for he had been sevâ€" eral years upon the committee, and several years in gonnection with the publication of a newspaper, and they should consider that the committee, in conjunction with Mr. Hartney, had been the means of saving to the country something like one million dollars. The } mere addition of $100 to his salary was but a trifle compared to the gain that may accrue {'om.dlm d.flipu. He (Mr. Reesor) beâ€" leved in disposing of every case upon its _ own merits ; '.h:nrfl he had lu%ned the general report of Contingent Commiitee in regard to reducing salaries and dismiseâ€" ing officers, who were not required in the 'Hunn, he did it becayse we were commenâ€" ‘ cing under a new constitation, eome of the officers notibeing required, and the labors of some othérs being of a trifling character, but they . were mot bound to k:r those salaries down where an officer merited an increase of salary. He the shairman of the comâ€" mittee would not consent to have the report amended, but would insist upon a vois being taken upon the report as it is. _ _ ~ _ Hon. Mr. CAMPBELL said the principle had been adopted, although the report of the subâ€"committee, in which the salary that was mentioned was_not adopted. This increase was a small amount, but objections were takâ€" &n to it by members of the other House, parâ€" ticularly by the members of the Contingent Cor:mittee, who had taken upon themaseives the disagreeable task of reducing the salaries. The Bill intitaled ©"An Act respecting acâ€" cessuries and abettors of indictable offences," was read a second time, and ordered to be committed to a Committee ot the whole House toâ€"morrow. _( = REPORT ON PRINTING. Pursuant to the order of the day, the House went into the consideration of the shirteenth report of the Joist Committee on Printing. taken upon the as it is. * Bun.pfi:. BII”IQSN said be bad :told the Postmasterâ€"General that he did not wish him to press the amendment in reference to the silary of Mr. Hartney, theretore he should not be accused uf acting treacherously in not reeing to have tln‘rzon ainended. Mr. ;:mnoy hgd never asked for one penny‘s increase to his salary, byut he (Mr. Simpson) thought this increase was due to him, beâ€" cause this work for the joint comâ€":nittee was outside of his regular duty, and kept him here for months gfter the close of the Session. In regard to the other objection congerning unexpended balances, they could not know perhaps unt‘l che first of Avgust the exact sum which would be required, and we onl‘y say we will charge ourselyes with any balâ€" ance which there may be, and it will be put to our credit for the «ucceeding Session. . The motion was then carsied on the same division. a that the said Bill be referred to a Select Comâ€" | mitiee composed of the Hon. Messre. ALLAN, CaMPBELL, DICKEY, HAZEN, McCREA, McCULLY, ROSS, SANBORN,and the moy, er, to report thereon with allconveniert «peed, with power to send for persons, papers and | records, and that the .exemplification of the | proceedings to final judgment of the Superior | Court, Montreal, presented to the Senate on | the reading of the petition of the eaid Joseph Frederick Whiteaves, be reterred to | the said Commuttee. | Hon. Mr. CAMPBELL said his bon. friead was advocating & principle which would not I posed by his hon. triesd. He would now move to etrike out of the report tiis paragrapi **and should any baiance of the appropria tion remain unexpended, it should be carried to the credit of printng for the succeeding Session ; or in. case of defi¢iency to be likeâ€" wise shown." & Hon. Mr. MeCUCLLY thorght as this was { a jornt report of both H suses, it"they amended Iit, there would be a necessity for its going betore the House of Commons where + | might be thrown out. They were advocatâ€" ing economy,&nd he did not wish that object to be fru:trated, theretore he thought it was better ‘for the Postmasterâ€"General to adopt this exceptional case than to run the risk of losing the report in the other branch. it was before the commuttce. IHe was deâ€" cidedly of opinion that the Government had more departments than was necessary, and he would suggest that the number of departments be reduced if it was found that there were too many. They inight*be excused for commencing with alarge numâ€" ber of departments, until they ascertained: that the machinery could be managed with l leas, but after this no excuse could be given for retaining them. In comnection with | the Revenue lb?runrm, there were the four ; Departments otâ€"Finance, Customs, Receiverâ€" ( General‘s, and Inland Revenue Departments, This arrangement was based upon principles ‘ adapted to govern a conatry with much more | extensive resources than we have. . This ' large number of Departments can, and ought ) to, be reducgid, but if the Goverament have decided updu retaining them, they can carry these bills through .Pulmmm, but _ upon them will rest the responsibility. I( the Government are desirous ef making this Union a euceess, and of satisfying the public mind that the administration of the Governâ€" ment will be carmed on in the best possible way, it will be their duty to economise, and reduce the number o# Departments, if it cao be done wichout being detrimental to the public interests, There may be reason for the Privy Council to consist of thirteen memâ€" bere, because we cannot have less than two in each of the uower Provinces, on account of the various interests to be represented ; in E:opouion to this, Quebec would be entiled four, and Ontario five ; but it is not necesâ€" sary that all these Privy Counciliors ghould have PublicDepartments. Suppose there were nine heads of departments in the Guvernment, Lis would leave one member of the Governâ€" ment for each Provimce who would not be compelied to reside at â€"he Seat otf Governâ€" ment, and these coming each from his Il’! vince to attend the meetings of the Countil would bring valuable information with them in segard to the state of the pubjlic mind in | their respective Provinces. These men should Hon. Mr. SIMPSON seconded the amendâ€" ment made by the Postmaster General, alâ€" though hbe thought he would have no diffiâ€" cnlty in meeting his arguments, . The amendment was then carried. Mon. Mr. _ CAMPBELL <tnen moved, secondea_by Hon. Mr. SIMPSON, * that the figure $300, in the scale of salaries, "attached to the position of the Clerk, be struck out, and $290 inserted in hheu thereof." h On m ton of Hon, Mr. ALLAN it was order ed that the Bill be read a tuird time on Mun day next. Hon. Mr, TESSIER usked what would be the effect of tne adoption of this report, so tar ns these salaries ‘are concerned, if the report was not to be adopted.in the other House? Would not these salames have to be paid by this House? . _ Also, " An Act to incorporate the Clifton Suspension Bridge Company," to which they had made several amendmenats=. mittee te whom was reterred the Hill estitled, * An Act for the relief of Joseph Froderick Winteaves," reported the eaid Bil winou amendment. * *. 1 HMon. Mr. ANDERSON expressed himself in favor of the report as it stood, but if the chairman of the Commuttee accedes to the amendments made by the Government, he would submit.

Mr. REESOR did not rise to make «ny objection to the Bili, becauss it may be necessary to pass it, but he desired to say that the Bill nad just been distrivuted, and had et had a great deal of time to “I“i;‘h"_.&\kr to know whether Hon. Mr. STEEVES3 saidâ€"the Postmasterâ€" ; General had enquired into the matter, and the result of that enquiry was that these slight changes inthe report would be consented to. He agreed with his hon. friend.that these | unpaid balances should not be allowed. to | stand over, and he would suggest to the hon.: ; mover o meke the propasition himself for! this chunge. I Hon. Mr. MITCHELL said there would be no difficulty, as the mover proposed to strike out the increase of salary and leave the report as it stood. ol Aiter some further enquiries were made by Hon. Mr. TESSIER, and explanations given by Hon. Mr. CAMPBELL, the amendment was curried and the report adopted. The SPEAKEI took the chair at thm‘ o‘clock. 4( Atter routine, % € .

Mr. McCULLY said his hon. friend exercised a very wholesome influence in this House, but he was afraid if the report went back to tne other House his influence would nut prevent its being lost.‘ He thought it was a very valuable report, and :t came from a committee who bad practeed a system of economy winch had saved the country. a large amount of monry. _ He agreed with the Postmasterâ€"General that the appropriations to this committee should be voted annually, but it the amendment proposed would endanger the report he would Vopte mgaings 1;. *« * _‘ _ . 4 We .. would be prepared to di=cuss them Hon.
