The Mail uewspaper is the only author- ized medium between the Goverrment and .| the People, during the interval between meetings « f Parliament, and in the present grave crisis it is natural that attention should be closely directed to the eracle of the impeached Ministers, in order to see what, if any, plea they intend to make in behalf of themselves. 8. far, nothing of the course of ths Government's dcfence Ym has been elucidated, beyond the repeated ©Oox readers will bear in mind. that the | general protestatons of i ,fornded voting of freeliolders upon 'the Stove |; John A's celebrated histrionic declara- Foundry and Fire Engine by-laws, takes | i, "These hands are clean!" which, place to-morrow.

The oracle here puts the case exactly as we desire it.

We assume that Conservatives, as well as Reformers are anxious to search the bottom of this great scandal, and are prepured to use all legitimate means to get at the truth, and the whole truth, in order that, if guilty, the impeached Ministers may receive all the execwation which would attach to treason and perjury ; and if in- nocent, that the r fair fame may be the more readily excnlpated, and theirslander- ers, if they are 80, punished to the utter- most. Is this object, which ought to be com \mon to all, and utterly irrespective of politics, to be attained by the issuance « f & Royal Comu.ission, in the hands of the judges, even if it were free from the con- trolling influence of the Government by which it would be constituted ! Such a court would be, in effect, a court of law, acting in the same manner, taking evidence with the same forn:alitics, and governed by the same technical resirictions, as a court of law. Woakll this tend to advance the object for which it wonld be ostensibly constituted | We think not.

There can be no doubt that Sir John anticipated this when he made the offer of the Royal Commission, and boped by excluding the most important portion of the evideuce, tu secure --a legal scqnittal. Such a result would be dishonorable t& the country, and IT MUST NOT BE. ment, to clothe tl e latter body with the Wo have to thank our Lockport: corres- poadent for reminding us that Canadian our citizens here, but by those in foreizn lauds, who still retain a patriotic feeling of interest in the Canada from which they sprung; and not less for bringing under onr notice the able article of Professor Goldwin Smith, in the Canadian. Monthly, in reference to the grave crisis at present ex- isting in Canada. the day--thoughtful, by any political inclinations, and occupying an eutively independent attitude in Cana- dian politics. Indeed, we have always been inclined to think him too favorable towards the present Government, because in all his criticisms, heretofore, he has en- deavored apparently, more to excuse their errors, and to magnify their few political virtues than to the strictly proper work of a eritie. It eannot be in any way alleged that Goldwin Smith's expressions on this subjoct are influenced by the slightest Government, and they must therefore carry more weight than expressions of journalists, who, however candid or im- partial, might be snpposed to allow the inclination to govern the judgement. We recommend all our readers to give the extracts from Goldwin Smith's article, a careful and thonghtful perusal. WHATS THE MATTER? Only a week ago the Government oracle the Mail, declared that it was the inten- tion of the Government to at once issue a Royal Commission to try the Pacific Railway charges, the sail Comission to be composed of Chief Justices of different Provinces.

As a born Canadian, who 'wishes the { Dominion well, it affords me very great | satisfaction to witness the burst of indig- nation throughout your country, with reference to the Pacific Railway Charter Scandal. Of course, the Mail, with its satellites, deny any impropriety on the part thereof. Why should it not? Here, it is understoud to bo the particular organ of, and to draw its entire inspiration from, the Government. And untill Sir John A.

By " British Practice" he secured the apoint- ment of a partizan committee ; and when that Committee met, it was on the ground of *' British Practice" that he procured a delay of the proceedings, so as togive him time to stifle the oaths bill. We never had much faith in that kind of British practice which Sir John is so fond of follow. lowing, especially when construed in his ewn peculiarly 'Reppy manner; but for once we are willing to agres with him as to the desirability of fullowing out the Pacific Reilway matter on the same ground os Sir John himself, so far, has endeavor ed to put it. Let us apply British prac- tice and British precedents to this case, and what might we reasonably expect to be the result! When a member of a Pritish Cabinet was accusel of bribing members, that Minister was immodistely placed on his trial before the House of Commons, and not only that, but he was eompelled to send in his resignation beth an a member of the Government and of the House, pending the enquiry. Let ne kavs this bit of English practice applied to the Ministers of the Crown in Canada, who, as the Mail says, ** stand at the bar, pleading not guilty." When a Mr. Vaughan saade an offer of money to the Dube of Grafton, to eecure the reversion of an office, he was prosecuted by the Solicitor. Cleneral for #0 doing. Lord Chief Justice Mansfield, in venderiug hiv judgement said; "A Minister frusted by the King *"to recommend fit persons to offices would "BETRAY THAT TRUST, and disap- "' point that confidence IF HE SHOULD " SECRETLY TAKE A BRIBE for that " vesommendation.

I am clear that , * this is a misdemeanor and punishable as " such." Under this ruling; although the bribe was not,as in the ease of the Pacific Railway Charter, received by the Minister, the person wha offered the bribe was founda guilty of a misdemeanor,and punished ae- sordiugly. By sil moans let us have this ~pises of British practice applied to Sir John Macdonald, the receiver, and Sir Hugh Allan, the giver, of tte Pacific Railway brite. May's constitational Hir. tory, Sir John's favorite reference, says : ~The t. fo" of Lord Forth, the purchase of votes in Pailiament by direct pecuniary bribes was a common practice. NY Sin vay vepycted, is now 1h 0 Ma agony ia On ihe Tst of Sneakerniom ty. I have this | | ncensed, | leney of their wishes in the matter.

Al that the Ministers asked, said Sir John Macdonald during the course of last session, was that the accused should be granted simple British justice ; that they should be, held to be innocent until proven guilty, and that they should be allowed the same latitude of defence, which is granted to all erim- inals. Parliament granted this request, aud something more ; but it did not grant, aud never interded to allow, that Minis- ters accused of the 'gravest public crimes, should sit on the tribunal as their own judges, and pronoguce a verdict of *" not guilty," to suit their interest and inclina- tion. 4 BE ISSUED, In the exigencies of their situation, the Government have clutched the last scraw which offers, to save themselves from the | damaging result of o fagr and impartial investigation of theif gonduct in regard to the treasonable sale of the Pacific Rail- way Charter,, and that faiut hope consists wholly in the issue of a Royal Comumis- sion,--in~ other words, a Committee, nominated by the Government, aeting under the direction of the Government, and reporting to the Guvernment, to fry churges agawnst the very Government by tohose authority it would live and move and have its being. When these charges were wade in March last, before the High Court of Parliament, Sir John suggested the issuadee of & Royal Com- isvion, and Parli t refused to adope the suggestion, preferring to name sn in- dependent Cowmmitive acting under its suthority, and constituted by iteell. It was clear to Bir John that if that ones The extraordinary course pursmned by the Ministry in regard to the Pacific Railway scandal, is causing mach wonder. mout and perplexity among his own ful. lowers, who, aceustomed to follow Sir John blind, through thick and thin, now tind it a difficult task to find arguments or excuses to justily the devious and tor- tuous path by which he is seeking to fii escape from the mevitable rescits of the posure of his inf) 1s aud abominable betrayal of the public interests. They cannot understand why it is that the Minister who adjonrmed Parliament with a very large majority voting him innocent of the Pacific Railway charges, shoald fear to meet the same Parliament on the Tairteenth of Angust. And it is really vo wonder that their lamb like fuith in the immaculate knight of Kingston, should be' driven to the vergs of hewilderment. To an unprejudiced mind the reason is obvivus. Sir John in March secured the exprowed eonfidence of a majority of the House, by means of the stronges tprotesta tion of innocence. *' These hands," said he, " are clean!" *' By God's help," he profanely exclaimed, the Government will show that they are innocent! '" fhe Government," he said, 'deny the charges IN TOTO." *" Ou behalf of the Government, AND OF EVERY MEMBER OF THE GOVERNMENT," he denied that there was any foundation whatever for the charges brought against them by Hon. Mr. Hurtingdon. The member for Shefford, had *' cor ve- GUT UP" the proofs which he ** professed to have" against the Government. Said he in the House, the Committee of Enquiry would ** procee i wilh their work at an early day--aT A VERY EARLY DAY." And the House, knowing nothing of the charges, voted that they did not believe them, on account of these protestations. To-day, there is a diferent tale to tell. The story of bis shame is the very talk of the school-children, and his political infamy has become a by-word. In black aud white, the proofs of his sale of the Paei- fic Railway Charter, written by his own band, and over his own signature, establish- ed also by the evilence of his own frimnds, are in the hands of those mew- bers who took him before at his own word, believing that word was the word of an honorable ard honest man. He fears now to meet the Parliament in which he claims to have a majority, because he knews he cannot justily his infamous con- duct. In order to show the change of opinionamong his followers wehave only to republish the following, writtem by Mr. Cunningham, (one of his own followers of of lust session,) in his own paper the Manitoban ; + of the polished journalistic assassin who manages the Mail under Sir John Mae- donald's dictation, is commencing to bear | a fruit which will not likely tickle the palates of the stockholders of that instita- tions.

The demal ou the part:of the whola Govern. ment published in the Government organs is merely of & general kind ; but perhaps less cunid not Ye expected. "The suggestion that the money drawn by Sir J. A. Macdonald and Sir George E. Cartier was to come from any fund other than the purse of Sir Hugh Allan and his partuers, as railway contractors, or that these large sums.wore subscribed merely on political grounds, is totally incredible. But even this plea, 50 untenable that it must be regarded as the offspring of des- pair, lewves untouched, or rather hy impliention ovnfesses, the fact that the Minister of Public Justice has been guilty of spending large sins contrary - to law, as *l as to public morality, in electoral eorrnption.

""The praceeding appears deliberate and premieditated. And we now understand too well what was meant by the refusal, on pretexta, impudently hollow, to amend the Election Law before the last genéral election. A system of government by Surrdption, carried on more or less in arkness for many years, has at last exposed itself to the light of day.
