But, as ..s Pacific Scandal rovelations have shown Canada to be the hot-bed of political corruption beside which an Al- bany lobby was pure, so has the election of the murderer Riel, as a member of the House of Commons, demonstrated that we have momentarily lost all respect for Law and Justice. The horrible history of 8éott's murder is fresh in remembrance, and prints Riel a blood-thirsty scoun drel who scarce deserves a formal trial, with so short a shrift did he hurry his victim to eternity. That he should for years have escaped: punishment for his brutal crime was in all conscience disgraceful encugh, but that he should now be elected to take his seat among law-makers of the land, a red-handed violator of the laws ot God and man, and at the very time that his secomplice is undergoi g his trial for mur- der; is a scandal which even the lawless people of the American 'Western Fron- tier would not tamely tolerate. When the particulars of Scott's butchery were heard in this province, a feeling of warm and honest indignation pulsed shroughout the whole province : and it is to be hoped that the people of Ontario have not since grown so callous as to permit the rascal the liberties of the streets of Ottawa. He isnow said to be on his way thither, where we hope to see him peering through prison bars rather than turning our Le- gislative proceeding into a farce by ae. suming to make laws for the nation. This disgrace has been brought upon the éountry by the blundering policy of the Government, who throughout the basiness have sheltered the felon.

That he must not be allowed to defile the house by his pre- sence, but be summarily ejected, as was O'Donovan Rossa from the English Com- mons, must be the demand of every oy- al man.

The Orangemen of Montreal have pass- ed resolutions calling on the Government to secure Riel's arrest if he shows htmself ot Ottawa. La Minerve says it is true that the Gov- ernment pledged itself to.give Riel and his friends an amnesty.

TrousLe AMONG THE Lawyers.-- Prof- essors of the '"'hucus pocus science" in Whitby are much disgusted with the eon- duct of the Hon.

They think that all the lega acnmen which was brought to bear to se" cure Mr. Gibbs' election by t Cool gave bail, and declared he would at- tach young Williams' baggage for » debt Snow eight inches deep has fallen in the western part of Wyoming. John Bright was re-elected on Saturday to his seat in the Imperial Parliament without opposition.

The Ontario British Templars Grand Lodge began their annual mesting in the Morrill Temple Hall, London, on Tuesday last. The report showed that sixty-seven lodges had 'been established' during the year, an increase of 1,600 members, and $260 on hand. Interesting speeches were delivered.
