I remain, sir, Yours very obdtly., Rosset Scarsrs, Becretary, 0.C,. P. R. R. Co. It will be seen from the above that no inâ€" timation was given of any intention to lay «& double track,"" but that certain specific information was asked for concerning the grade of the streets, and other matters, about which a mutual understanding between the Company and the Corporation would be of the greatest advantage to both. We have not heard that such information was given to the position of their track may be arranged, so them, and if the Corporation will give their the Company, though common civility would suggest that it ought to have been furnished, even if the Corporation authorities were disâ€" posed to be indifferent to the interests of the city and the Company alike. Instead of furâ€" nishing the information desired the City Sorrerron is engaged to draft a Lyâ€"law in the teeth of a Provincial statute. This byâ€"law is introduced and p-j through all its stages at a single sitting of the Corporation, in obeaience to the instructions of His Worâ€" ship the Marox, who at the same time informs the Council that it â€" has been drawn for the purpose of testing the validity of the Company‘s charter. Now, we should like to know who conceired the brilliant notion of testing the validity of an Act of Parliament by a Municipal byâ€"law ? Can it be possible that any member of the City Council seriously believes that a Corâ€" poration byâ€"law can render void a chbarter from the Legislature ? It is also to be observed that the preamble of the byâ€"law . asserts (what is not the case) that the Company had giver notice of their intention to lay a * double track." Probably the enacting clauses of the byâ€"law will prove no more effective in law than is the preamble true as to fact ; but as it may be the foundâ€" atior. ‘of legal proceedings which will cost the citizens something, we insert it here for their information : (corv.) * * "Byâ€"law No. 264, to prolhibit the Ottawa City Passenger Railway Company from layâ€" lng their railway track in any of the streets of * Therefore, the Council of the Corporation \of the City of Ottawa, Go hereby enact and ordain as tollows :â€" " Whereas the Ottawa City Passenger Railâ€" way Company under color of two Acts of the Legislature, have served notice on the head of the Corporation that they intend commencing the building of the said railway and laying double tracks in the streets named in the said Acts of Incorporation ; and whereas, the said Acts, so far as they interfere with the rights of the Corporation, are unconstitational and -6-}’” markets see Fourth Page. _ City Cierk. % Thus our readers will see pretty clearly how the matter stands between the Corporâ€" ation and the Railway Company. We may add that the rails and stringers are now on their way to this city; and that it is the inâ€" tention of the Company to proceed at once with the laying down of a single track from "The said, the Ottawa City Passenger Railâ€" way Company, aro hereby prohibited and forâ€" bidden to build the said railway, or lay any tracks through, on, or upon any of the public »treets, squares, or bridges of the City of Ottaws ; and they are hereby probibited from, Ottaws ; and they are hereby probibited from, in any manner, interfering with the said streets, or any of them, or placing any line of track or obstruction thereon.

As it has been feared by many that the running of street cars would be injurious to business in the vicinity, the testimony â€"of Toronto merchants who have had the beneâ€" fit of several years‘ experience ought to have some weight. The following statement, adâ€" dressed to Mr. Keers®, the President of the Ottawa Company, is signed by upwards of seventy merchants, doing business on the streets through which the cars run, anud . it will be â€" seen _ that, so far from feeling , that business . bas been injured by the cars, they believe it has been ‘greatly improved. _ Such testimony ought to disarm oppoo;tion in every quarter where nothing but the interests of the city are cared for,. and we are quite sure that the business community of Ottawa, especially those on the favored streets, will be sensible enough to perceive that what has been the experience of Toronto in the matter of the Street Railway, is likely to be that of Ottawa. Indeed, considering the * magmificent disâ€" tances" otf which Oitawa can boast, there does not seem to be another city in Canada more likely to profit by the establishment of a Street Railway than this ; and we earnestly trust that the Corporation will yet see its way to repealing the recently adopted byâ€"law, and endearor to establish a good working unâ€" derstanding®* with the Company. In this way we believe the interests of the otiâ€" zens would be much better.served than by trusting an issue with the Company to the @*glorious uncertainties of the law,‘" especialâ€" ly when all its certainties are against the Corporation. â€" The following is the testimony of the Toronto merchants alluded . to, dnd it ought to calm the fears of men doing busiâ€" ness on Sussex and Sparksâ€"sts. : * Toroxto, 220d Septemiber, 1868. " Thos. C. Keefor, Esq., President Ottaws City Passonger, Railway Company. * Dear Sig,â€" Understanding that an impresâ€" sion prevails amoug the business men in Otâ€" tawa that a double track street railway will have the effect of interfering with trade in the streets where it is placed, we have much pleaâ€" sure in giving you our experience on this point. # The Toronto Street Railway has a double track from the St. Lawrence Market to Yougeâ€" st, along Kingâ€"st., and from Kingâ€"st. to Queenâ€"st. on Yongeâ€"st., a distance in all of threeâ€"quarters of a mile. This poition of the city embraces its most important businees section for retail trade. The width of the street is 66 feet, the sidewalks 11 on each side, leaving for roadway 44 feet. " From the early difficulty of the street railâ€" way it became unpopular here, particularly when an attempt was made to keep the track open while there was sieighing, and there was a fear that the tracks would drive business out of these streets. This bas not, bowever, been the case. On the contrary, business has increased on the iine of the railway more than in any other part of the city, and has been concentrated by it, its espansion in other directions being checked." "‘The citizens of the Domicnion of Canada are intensely dissatisfied with the decision of their Government in regard to the location of the new Intercolonial Railway, which is to conmnect Canada with New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The route selected goes as far north the Maine boundary line as possible, through a barren and inhospitable region, and will be both more costly to build than the route nearer the frontier and less profitable when completed. Besides, it is assert=d that the line has been shifted out of its due course at several points to favor the.landed and minâ€" iog interests of certain members of the Cabiâ€" net, and charges of corruption are boldly made sgainst the Hon. 8. L. Tilley, Minister of Customs, the Hon. Wa. IcDon.* Minister of Public Works, and the Hoa. Petér Mitchell, Minister of Marine and Fisheries. The reâ€" miniscences connected with the losses by the Grand Trunk Railway are being revived, and there promises to be an active opposition to the building of the proposed railway at the public expense." All which is merely the Albion‘s arucle of Saturday last slightly misinterpreted and considerably * boiled down." If the Sun wants to find, the real opinion of the citizens of the Dominion, conâ€" cerning the location of the Intercolonial Railway route, it should consult the press of the Dominion, not that of New York. : It would then find that while several papers in the Province of Ontario, and also in New Brunswick, condemn the Northern line, the [ol.het two Provinces are unanimous in its favour ; that nearly all the papers condemning it are exposed to the suspicion of doing so, either from sectional interest or political feelâ€" ing ; while those not amenable to such suspiâ€" cion merely argue from the ground of economyiâ€"and to save the money of their own Provinceâ€"in favour of a scheme for linking together certain existing lines of railâ€" way in New Brunswick, which, when the project for the construction, of the Intercoâ€" lonial was formally agreed upon at the Quebec Conference were never regarded as being calculated to form any portion of it. Could the Sun appreciate these facts, it would scarcely rate so highly the vapourings ot its neighbour the Albion. We notice that the Montreal Herald copies the Albion‘s article in full, and says " the «* writer speaks of what he personally proâ€" * feeses to know," to which we can only reply that if his remarks can be tortured into an accusation against any one oft the Ministers named, other‘ than that they favoured the adoption of a particular route, then he kaows nothing at ali about it. The above extract from the Eun is a tair aample of the impression produced byÂ¥@ cursory perâ€" usal of the Albion‘s article, "which by its heading imputed a charge that is nowhere sustained in the body of his remarks. If the Albion writer had confined himsel{t to what he "personally knows" he would have had no opportunity to deal in such wholesale in â€" sinuatiocs about * corruption‘‘ and * job bery ;" but perhaps, without any great streas upon their * personal knowledge,"‘ there are others, besides the editor of the Albion, who could explain the reasons which have prompted that journal to take such an erraric course of late or Canaâ€" dian affairs in general, and _ in _ reâ€" lation to .the Intercolonial Railway in particular. _ Our present purpose, howâ€" ever, is to warn American journals not to accept the Albion as an authority, either on the state of feeling among the Can@lian peoâ€" ple, or regarding facts connected with the administration of Canazdian public affairse. From some cause our good brother sees all our public ~questions through coloured spectacles, but his prophetic warnings create little alarm, and his oftâ€"proffered advice, whether to Goverxorâ€"Gexgrat, Mivisters of the Crown, whole Provinces, or isolated journalist=, commands about as little attenâ€" Siys the New York Sun Kexxzor, the Scottish vocalist, now on & westward tour, has b:en delighting the Monâ€" trcalers with bis " twa uichts in Scotland." / Mxz.

Some of the offices are imporâ€" tant and of value, others of no profit ; but the whols goes to show the animus. The Yarâ€" mouth 7Zribune, hitherto a strong @"anti‘ paper, conciudes a long article on the subject as follows: <"If their tactics are to be borrowed from the roving tribes of the great American desert, and the tomahawk, and the scal pingâ€"knife are henceforth to be the weapons ot their warfare, their rule will be as shortâ€" lived as was that of the tyrants whom they displaced, and those who wish to avoid sharâ€" ~ing in their downfall, will be constrained to " come out from: among them and be separate." Such is the deliverance of the Yarmouth 7/iâ€" i bune, and if our Goverament would note the signs of the times, they would not be fsartul of the result, as sometimes they seem to be. One dismissed Registrar otft Probate has reâ€" quested the Governor to inform him of the cause of his dismissal. I am intormed that His Honotr‘s reply was, that " he would direct his Councilâ€"by whose advice he had actedâ€" togive the required information."" The di#" missed Registrar then received a lett:r trom the Provincial Secretary, wherein be stated that the appointment ©" which necessarily caused the dismissal, was made at the request of the members for the county." Tess THE DISMI3SAL OF LOCAL OFFICERS * IN NOVA scorIa. Ever since responsible government has becn in force the Gorernment has been administerâ€" ed according to the well understood wishes of the people,as expressed through their reprosenâ€" tativesâ€"that is, by a parliamentary majority ; and it is a well understood rule that members supporting the Government have the patronage of their counties. But I believe that the right (o dismiss withâ€" out cause has not yet been accorded to the members, as it would new seem to be, by the auswer of the Provincial Secretary. ‘The Govâ€" ernor, it appears, knew nothing about it. All the persons superseded, it is said, are Unionisis â€"from Judge of Probate to Commissioners of Schools, &c. Verily, the friends and supporters ot Union are in a tad plight hersâ€"perseeuted by the Local power, and not supported by the General Government as they should be. _ It no doubt would be a delicate,and, perhaps, difficult matter, under fmmu cireumstances, to interfere with this action of the Local Government, this proscribing every man who has been firm in his loyalty to his Government and to the laws of his countryâ€"the men who have been firm in their m'rpofi of the policy, urged upon them by the British Government! But this state of affairs will cure itself sooner than may be expected; and perhaps the Dominâ€" ion Government may be excusable in letting the Locals expend their spite in this way! But while loyal men are thus being punished by the Local authorities it tehores the General Government to de careful, to sustain ' and encourage them, and to let them underâ€" stand, that the friends and â€" supporters of British rule and of the Union, will not be abandoned by them. ‘There is a feeling creepâ€" ing in among Unionists, that the Dominion Gorernment, in its desire to conciliate their enemies, may sacrifice their friends. â€"It is to be hoped that such fears are groundless, and that all who have hitherto supported the Union cause may ‘have no reason to regret their choicg, and may still be enabled to look to their leaders with confidence. . Many of them have done, good service and bave suffered for their adherence to the cause ; and it would be a poor return to cast them off at the bidding of an enemy.

He has seen the tame submission of men who are sworn to promote the best interests of the city, to the will of two or three cunning echemers, who seek office for selfish objectsâ€" for the gratiftication of their present pecuniary avidity, or for prospective elevation to higher political positions. ~Nor is the day far off, we trust, when the corrupt scheming which is seen afar off, will become vigible to our own people ; when the mask will be torn from ‘those who, pandering to the ignorant and the selfish, aid their leadors in public peculation, with the ulterior object of future support, or oppose the: progress of the . age for this city, for a similar or a worse reason. A Review 8f the Facts of the Case. [From the Cincionat i Enquirer.] For two years and more all the exertions of this powerful Government were employed for the arrest of the young man known as John H. Surratt. â€" It was made the subject of grave communications from our Secretary of State to our diplomatic agents abroad. Secret deâ€" tectives in abundance were placed upon his: track, â€" Large rewards were offered for his apâ€" prehension. So great were the efforts made to capture him, that in no part of the civilizâ€" ed world, not even in its most inrccessible corners, was he in a position of the slightest saf.ty. Knowing that the bloodhounds were on his scent, and remembering the fate of his innocent and unfortunate mother, he fled from one quarter of the globe to the otherâ€"from America to Europe, from Euarope to Asis, from Asia to Africa, and from Africa back to Euâ€" rope. There, while in disguise in the Papal service in Italy, he was betrayed to the detecâ€" tives by a pretended friend in whom he had reposed confidence, but who was willing to sacrifice him, to sell his heait‘s blood for the Government reward. By the basest act ot treachery, and the encouragement of this vilest ofinformers, the Administration effected his arrest, and brought him in triumph on a Government vessel to the United States. His capture was considered a great national event â€"one upon which we should greatly felicitate | | ourselves. The charge against him was |, being one of the murderers of President Linâ€" | , coln, and the whole country, almost as oneâ€"|â€" man, took it for grantcd that the accusation |, was true. Had he beon brought before that i , tyrannical mockery known as a militaryrcomâ€" | , mission, he would bave bad a‘short sbrift to | the gallows.. But the nation had recovered in || some degree from the deadly stupor which | affliicted it in 1865, and the reâ€"ign of law was || partially reâ€"established. He wasat first treated | with extreme severity, thrown into a dungeon, | . and heavily ijroned. But bis trial, after a | long delay, at last came. His innocence was |. made perfectly manifâ€"st, despite the bold | and avdacious efforts of witnesses of the | Conovrer stamp to swear his life away. | But be proved, by irrepromchable testimony, | that he was hundreds of miles from Washingâ€" ton when the pistol of Booth put an end to | the career of Mr. Lincoln. Booth conceived the idea of assassinaling Lincoln that very l day, aiter he had heard that he was going to the theatre, and it was certainly improbable that he could have been aided, either before or after the ciime, by a man who was then at a great distance away, and with whom he could bave had no communication whatever I relative to the murder. But he was not acâ€" quitted, although he made a plain case of inpocence. There were meu on the jury with whom it was a part of their politics to take the lite of Surratt. A disagreement was the result. The Government, however, ashamec of the frauds and perjuries that had characterâ€" | ized the murder wial, dropped it and comâ€" menced another action, based on a " criminal | conspiracy," which it was easier to establish [ by loose and reckless testimony. But fortunâ€" ately for the ends of justice, they delayed the case so long as to bring it within the statute of limitations, and under it the prisoner, for whom we had traversed the carth, and whom we had brouzht home in a special national versel, was discharged. ‘The result of this case against the son only exhibits in blacker colors the iniquity of the proceedings which led to the murder of the mother under preâ€" tended judicial forms and solemnities. The evidence on the trial of John H. Surratt proved conclusively what all intelligent and dispassionate men were convinced of before, that Mrs. Auna Surratt had nothing to do in the murder of Mr, Lincoln. ‘The case against her would not have gone to a jury bafore any tairly constituted court in Christendom. Buat she was bfore that which wasinfinitely worse than a mob, a tribunal existing in defiance of law, ard governed by none of the rules of ordinary courts, and which was organized solely to convict. Among its members were such men as Generalâ€"Hunter,â€" Generalâ€"Lerwrâ€" Wallace â€"base parasites of powerâ€"â€"who, fit for notbhing in the army, wers convenient tools for tyranny to use in such objects as it desired to effect outside of legitiâ€" mate â€" military duty. They were men who would recoil from nothing which they were ordered to do by Stanton and Holt, no matter how repugnant it might be to justice and bumanity. Forsixty days or more this conciave continued to assemble in ‘Washingâ€" ton. It continued to assemble right in the seat of the law whose majesty it was its speâ€" cial purpose to outrage and violate. ‘There it held its prisoners in its iron grasp, in the face of habeas corpus and of all the exertions of the courts for their release. +If wehad a Preâ€" sident who dared to take his just responsibility he would have dispersed this infamous comâ€" mission instanter, instead of which he gave his countenance to its illegal action. Arrayâ€" ed in military toggery, with all the insignia of despotism, this monstrous military court was the great teature of Washington during the spring and summer months of 1865. It had for Judge Advocate the hardâ€"featured, reâ€" lentless and cruel Bingham, of Ohio, who is admirably qualified to have. been the proseâ€" cuting attorney under such a Judge as the inâ€" famous Jeffries, of England, and who only wauted a littleâ€"experience to have even rivalâ€" led the Judge himself in his worst traits of character. : The Jack Ketch service was so captivating to some men that General Burâ€" nett, of this city, by some means or other, crowded himself into the case as an assistant or volunteer. Before such a tribunal, and with perjured witnesses like Conover, backed up and sustained by all the power of Stanton and Holt, it would have been a miracle if Mrs. Surtatt had escaped. Pale and trembâ€" ling, a belpless and defenceless woman, she was every day, for months, bm“?llt into the august presence of the mighty Hunter and Wallace, incased in irons, with fetters and shackles. ‘They condemned her to die by strangulation upon the scaffold, and with a reffnement of cruelty not before known in this generation, they only allowed her twelve hours betweea the announcement of the senâ€" tence and its dread execution. They were apparently afraid that if a_reuon&ble tiu‘no was allowed the passions of the hour weuld subsideâ€"that there would be an executive inâ€" terference, and that their prey would escape them. Hence they hurriedit on with fhde. cent haste to its consummation. ‘The tragedy was accoidingly finished, and no circum.â€" stance was omitted to increase its atrocity. Very few believed at the time that the womar would be executed. A reâ€" prieve or a pardon was looked for at the last moment, and the details, therefore, of the proâ€" ceeding upon the scaffold were read with surâ€" prise and horror. The actors in this bloody drama did not have long to wait for popular judgment upon them. Within two years from the commission of the deed, even a man with as ill reputation as General B. F. Butâ€" ler, stained as he is with odium, pointed his finger at Bingham, and dnonoofi him in the strongest terms for his participation in the Surâ€" ratt execution. . He held him up to the scorn and hatred. of the world. Generals Hunter, Wallace and others who comprised the comâ€" mission, have sought to free themselves from blame, by the statement that, after they found Mrs. Surratt guilty, they‘ signed a paper, reâ€" commending her to the mercy of the H#resident. The President, feeling the force of this, denies that he ever received the paper in question, and he intimates that it was suppressed by some one in the War Department. Preston Ring, of New York, who was then at the President‘s mansion, is said to have been the person who took upon himself the responsiâ€" bility of denying Miss Auna Surrattadm{!ssion to the presence of the President, to intercede for her mother on the morning of the day of sURRATT AND HIS MOTHER. the execution. If so, we do not wonder that bhe became insane, and in his delirium threw bimself into the dark waters ofthe Hudson. The ciiminations and recriminations, and atâ€" tempts to shift the responsibility from one to anotber, have beea frequent between the actors 1 of this deed of blood. ‘To posterity it will . even appear in a more hateful light than it does to this gencration.. We have often wonâ€" dered what could be the motives of Stantor . and Holt in their persecution of this hapless . woman. â€"Hadit been a prominent political opponent upon whom they could have gratiâ€"â€" fird their personal and political resentment, we should not bave felt any surprise. But both her sex and position in life were such as seem to forbid the idea that she could have rendered herself in any peculiar manner obâ€" noxious to the cruel men then at the head of the; Government. The only reconcilable theory is this: that at the time it was the purpose of Stanton and Holt to scrike « terror"‘ into the people, and what could strike more " terror" than the execution of une for whom her innocence and sex alike plead in vain. Every person who goes to sea feels a sense | of safety, and a certain degree of confidence, when they know that their vessel is ofti. cered by experienced and intelligent sailors, The success of the Cunard line of steamers is entirely to be attributed to the supcriority of the officers in command, and the discipline, orâ€" der, and decorum of the respective ctews of 1 the various vessels ofthe line. All our Ameriâ€" can lines, to a certain extent, are behind hand | in comparison with the class of men who perâ€" : torm subordinate duties on English merchant vessels. This is owing to the fact that we do not educate our sailor boys as the English do â€" As the case now stands, we are mainly deâ€" pendent upon foreign nations for our supply of able seumen, and from this class a selecâ€" tion is made of the officers who hold second, third, and fourth rate grades on board of our merchant vessels. As a general thing, these men possess no better qualifications for their position than that of being passable sailors, who are able to control, by means of powerful frames, the generally ignorant and often ruffienly characters who "ship before the mast.‘ What we ought to have is a system for educating youth into ‘the art of seamanship, which shall hbold out .‘ the right inducements to those who are, at the same time, adventurous and intelâ€" ligent. Our ship offticers should not only be seamen, but gentlemenâ€"as well versed in the usages of polite intercourse as they are in their profession.. To secure good seamen, the best way is to make it incumbent wpon shipâ€" owners to carry a number of boys as apprenâ€" tices on every vessel in proportion to her tonâ€" nage. These boys should be apprenticed at a nominal rate of wages, to be gradually inâ€" creased each year. ‘The captain or owner of the ship should be held, responsible for their education in practical seamanship, including knowledge of the science of navigation, and the apprentices should be rated as midshipmen, and assigned accommodations apart from the forecastle.. This is no new plan. It has becn practised for many years in England with the best results. We have no doubt that thousands of intelligent and spirited boys who attend our public schools would be willing to adopt the life of a sailor, provided they were assured of good treatment at the beginning, and a sure prospect of advancement «after thoroughly understanding theircalling. Something cerâ€" tainly should be done to improve the men we trust witk our lives at sea. Should not our commercial community move in this matter ? A HUSBAND AND WIFE SEEK DEATH BY TAKING LAUDANUM. A fearful tragedy, one that may well cause the blood to curdlein the veins and fill the soul of any sensitive mortal with horror, was enacted ut the Planter‘s House, corner of Bluff and Thirdâ€"sts., yesterday afternoon. The moâ€" tives which prompted the commission of the act are still involved in mystery, but of the result enough is known to stamp it as a tragedy which, for the credit of humanity, we are happy to say, is not often witnessedâ€"that of a husbund and wife quietly resolving to end their lives together by suicide. _ The parties to the tragedy arrived in this city by boat, and took quarters at the Planter‘s House, where they registered their names as George Baker and lady, of Madison, Wisconâ€" sin. Both were well dressed, and apparently used to moving in the best society. The pair were assigned to room No. 19, and remained . much of the time in quiet and seclusion, but nothing unusual was noticed in their converâ€" sation and demeanor. About three o‘clock yesterday afternoon, as ‘Ihomas Hardie and another gentleman were passing by the hot:=l, they noticed a man who came out on the outâ€" side stairway, and start to come down street. He had got down about half way when he missed his footing, and fell headforemost, striking the pavement below with much force. On raising bim up, a bottle was found in his ileft hand, crushed to atoms, while hisâ€"wiist ’ was cut severely by the broken glas®. He was removed to hbis room, where his wife was found in strong convulsions. Regaining conâ€" sciousness, the man stated, to the amazement of all those present, that he and his wite had taken laudanum with the deliberate intention of comn.itting suicide, and ending their troubles together. _ Of the motives which im pelled them to the deed he gave no explana.â€" tion. He said that he anvd his wife were in the room together : that she took the laudanâ€" um (one ounce) first, and he followed, but l fearing there was not enough of the poison to kill him he had started out to procure some more, when he met with the accident we bave mentioned. When the state of affairs became known the best medical talent in the city was summoned, and all that humauity, skill and science could suggest was done for the reliet of the sufferers. ‘The man was soon relieved, but the deadly poison had got too deeply seatâ€" ed in the system of the woman to be eradicatâ€" ed, and she died about 91 o‘clock last evening. |'l‘be bhusband is now confined in the coubty | jail. A memorandum book found in the room contains a few entries in a female bandwriting, the majority of which are couched in ambiguâ€" ous term#«, and afford but little explanation. One of these states that the woman was marâ€" ried to George A. Baker, Oct. 1, 1868. From this it seems that the parties were not married, but soon expected to bs. Aunother is to the effect that " If I do not marry you I shall not marry any one else ; but will seek happiness in another and a better worldâ€"orâ€"a worse one." Un the table was an open Bible, with a pencil mark at the 16th verse, 2nd chapter of Isaish, which passage the woman had eviâ€" dently been perusing before the commission of the act. The book bears evidence of having been freely used, and it would seem that the unfortunate woman was probably a member of some church. Mr.J. 8. Micc, M.
