Mr. Blako's indictment of the Gov* erment in tho North-West Rebellion is ii strong one. If tlio grievances, being known to exist, hnd been removed in 1884, Riel's power would not have grown to such a height, nnd no robellioft would have taken pluce. The rebellion was a direct outcome of the incapacity, jobbery, and corruption that reigns universal in the affairs ofthe North- West — perhaps unavoidably incident tothe establishment of a wealthy corporation so closely connected with tlie government, and to the patron* agu the opening of half a continent throws into government hands. Mr. Blake held a brief for the country at the last session of parliament, and he did his duty; but he could do little more than lodge his plea. It was too late for discussion, because the house waB wearied by the protracted session, and unfit to cope with the subject; it was also too early, because no ono was well- informed on the subject. It is now for him, with fuller information, to bring" his plaint again before the house: and this should bo the main business of the coming session A rebellion against real or fancied injustice has taken place in a part of Canada altogether under the government of Conservative appointees; and whether the charges brought against some of theso be true or not, it is impossible for the country in the circumstances to close the page and say it will read no further. Tho fullest investigation into every circumstance preceding and attending (he rebellion must be had before the Conservntivo party will be purged of the suspicion that now attaches to it; nnd if this be not accorded promptly and frankly, so much the worse in the long run for tbo Conservative party. It is useless for the party press to attempt to raise a false issuo through the Riel agitation. The question before the country is not all the execution of Riel, but tho causes that produced the rebellion he headed. It is satisfactory to learn that Mr. Blnko does not contemplate a retirement from the leadership of the Liberal party. In Mr. Blake it possesses a leader who stands almost alone among Canadian statesmen for high principle and character; and at this conjuncture it is precisely such qualities that are most needed. To such a timn the lower side of politics cannot but be distasteful, and he tells us that he dislikes and does not wish for office. But, although this unwillingness springs froin un honorable scrupulousness, it is regrettable, for it is not an attitude of mind suitable to the leader of a great party. Not so do successful leaders inspire their followers and seize victory. Yet, perhaps, the enthusiasm will come with the occasion.—The Week (Independent). PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE. Oh Monday considerable discus- sion arose out of some remarks made by Mayor Fell at a public meeting, in whioh he charged members of the legislature with corruption. Messrs. Martin, Galbraith, Orr, Grant, Theo. Davie, Hon. Mr, Smithe, Hon. Mr. Kobson, aud Hon. Mr. Davie, denounced Mr. Fell as a slanderer, and somo members wore disposed to prosecute him for libel. —Tho Port Simpson land "grab" came up again for debate. Hon. Mr. Smithe explained anew the circumstances of the case, that the trouble all arose out of the neglect of the surveyor-general to announce through the Otr.etle that tho roservo had been removed. This was simply au oversight, and the government had given no information to its frionds to enable them to take advantage of knowledge which was withheld from tho public. It wits pointed out that a very similar omission occurred under the late government, but that government was not charged with criminal intent—Mr. Beaven moved for copies of "all correspondence, tenders, accounts and vouchors in connection with supplying vitrified drain pipes for tho new gaol ot Now Westminster, stating size of pipe for which tonders were asked, size and quantity supplied, prico per foot, name of contractor, quantity of pipe used, disposition of pipe not rcquirad, the name of the superintendent of tho work of constructing tlio gaol, and by whom recommended to the government," In making this motion Mr. 'Beaven said tho information was required by the people of New Westminster, us it wus understood that a contract had been taken by n member of the house, which wns contrary to the Independence of Parliament act. Thoro wus an opinion prevailing that this act had been repealed, but tho part repealed wus only that which related to mom- British Columbian. VOLUME *29 NEW WESTMINSTER, B. #C, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1886. NUMBER 17 bers of the house receiving money from tho Dominion government, After some observations from Messrs. Orr, Davie, and Semlin, Mr. Cunningham said this was the second attempt of tho leader of the opposition to involve him. He had been asked to supply the pipe by contract, but declined, and afterwards agreed with tho government to order the pipe and collect a commission of 5 per cent. The pipe cost over $700, and all his firm made out of the transaction was %'dli,-~ Bills were introduced to incorporate the Vancouver Electrio Light Co., the Vancouver Street Railway Co., and to amend the Qualification and Registration of Voters act,—In answer to Mr. Allen, Hon, Mr. Robson said Mr. J. F, Smith, of Clinton, had not passed an examination as teacher since August 1860. Oq Tuesday, Mr. Cunningham moved a resolution expressing the cordial thanks of the house to the Canadian volunteers who took part in quelling the north-west rebellion. Mr. Galbraith seconded the motion, congratulated the mover, and expressed himself as thoroughly in accord with the resolution. It was carried unanimously. —Mr. Semlin moved the second reading of the bill to regulate the legal profession. Hon. Mr. Davie opposed the bill beoause he considered it in the public interest that persons should be required to reside a year in the pro* vince beforo being admitted to tbe bar. While the present aot prevented lawyers of good standing froni)1 other provinces from practising hen without a year's residence, it mast be remembered that a British Columbia lawyer could not practice in Ontario without complying with the regulations of the Ontario law society. Before'admitting a man to practice here it was but reasonable to require of him a knowledge of our laws and practices, which could be acquired only by resident study. The appointment of provincial judges lay with the Dominion, but the judges must be taken from the provinoial bar. Unless a residence waa required it would be possible for outsiders to come here with judgeships in their pockets, and no knowledge whatever of provincial laws.—Mr. Beaven was in favor of encouraging immigration, and did not think a stated period of residence necessary for lawyers.—Mr. Drake opposed the bill fur reasons similar to those advanced by Hon. Mr, Davie. A person newly arrived in the province, however high he may stand in hiB profession, is not qualified to advise on points of provincial law unless ho has mado a study of our statute books.—Messrs. MoTavish and Dunsmuir spoke against the bill, Mr. Mc Tavisli moving the six months hoist, Mr. Pooley, Hon. Mr. Robson, Hon. Mr. Smitho, Mr. Cunningham, and Mr. Theo. Davie spoke aiming t the bill, and Messrs. Allen, Orr, Grunt, Galbraith, McLeese, and Raybould iu favor of it. A vote was taken on the amendment, proposing 0 months hoist, which was carried on following division: Ayes: McTavish, T. Davie, Smithe, RobBon, A. R B. Davie, Martin, Dunsmuir, Dingwall, Wilson, Drake, Cunningham, Pooley, John—13, Noes: Beaven, Allen, Galbraith, Orr, McLeese, Cowan, Helgesen, Grant, Semlin, Raybould, Duck—II. Mr. Cunningham moved for a return showing all correspondence and public transactions between the government of the province and the members of this house sinco they wero elected, with a list of goods supplied by them, work done, prices paid or to be paid, contracts made, oither written or verbal, with a statement of any contracts with the government to which any of the aaid members became bundsmen. True Basis or Civil Government The Holy Spirit, in Hii subjection to both Father and Son is another beautiful example. He shows us with what spirit nil our divinely appointed duties to God, to each other and to the stato should be performed—to the glory of the great author of civil government—done as unto tho Lord; to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, and to be ready for any good work, Tit. 3:1, For the magistrate "heareth not thu word in vanity, for rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil, Rom. 13:1*7; "and for the praise of them that do well, 1 Pet. 2:14. Here we have the official supremacy of tho Father, who sends his only begotten Son into tho world to restore order and save rebellious man. Here wa have tho amnziiig coudeaoiisiun of the Son, who, though equal with (lie Father, promptly obeys his ollicial authority and takes upon himself to suffer and die in our stead that we might not perish. "He learned obedience by the things which ho suffered," Hob. 5:8; and "was obedient unto death," Phil. S:8, aud that obedience included filial, civil, and mediatorial laws, self-imposed for the common good. Hero wc have the Holy Spirit, though equal with the Father and Son, yet becomes obedient unto the latter as an ambassador tu teach aud preserve the truth among the nations; and is still engaged in his official work of enlightening, comforting) purifying, and qualifying immortal souls for sharing tho divine glory. Hero we have for the sake of order a beautiful example of ruler, subject, and subordinate, not among inferiors, but among equals, Such a sublime example is worthy of the Eternal Threo, and fully establishes the fact that order is Heaven's lirst law. Wo have seen that Elohim are subject to law and perfect in obedience. As rational creatures and subjects of God's moral government wo must have law iu order to the protection of persons, proporty, and the pursuit of happiness, L.iw implies a government and law-makors; the latter implies an iisscmbly of legislators. Government Implies rulers, as king, nucon, president, or governor; aiul eiooutive oflicers, as judges, aht'i-itl's and constables. Rules implies subjects or peoplo, for whom* protection, security, prosperity, end general welfare tho Kovurumetit is established Siibjoots tin not necessarily imply inferiors, (See Fourth Page.)

Cowichan, Feb. 23. — Sume excitement waa caused to-day by a report that a strange Indinn aud kloutohman havo been soen prowling in the woods back of here. What is peculiar about them is that they have been, approached by several parties and in every case they retreated and in one instance of another Indian approaching to speak to them the man put his gun in a threatening position. -■ The stranger is described aa a large man with a beard and aa carrying an old musket. Thc Siwash who saw them aays he is suro they don't belong to this tribe and that they are the murderers uf Dring and Miller. Constable Kier haa beeu looking for the strangers all day; but up to the present time lie haa failed to tind them. This evening Mr. Kier received a verbal message from Mr. Druminond, of Maple Bay, tu come to his house, that he had made some important discovery in regard to tha murder. It is hoped they have found something that will give some clue. Cowiuhan, Feb. 24.—In compliance with the request of Mr. Drummond, Constable Kier want tu Maplo Bay today and, contrary lo hia expectations, obtained what is thought to be a good due to tho Miller-Driug murder, ltijt trail about a mile back from the scene of the murder they have fuund a dead dog. Its feet were tied with withea and its brains have been battered out with a stone. It is thought the du£ belonged tu tho murderers and had foi- lowed them while on the way to perform the diabolical deed. Failing tu drivo it baok and fearing it might frustrate their plana by making tt noise thiv killed it by. battering uut ita brains. If the dog belonged to the mirdtrera, they uoduifttediy art resident*1 Of Cowichan, and the settlers reel Very uneasy to think that wt havt auoh characters right fn nur midst. Nothing haa beeu aneu to-day of the two mysterious Indiana aaid tu have been prowling about in the woods. From Granite Oreek. The following extractB from a letter written by Mr. Donald McGregor to u gentleman in this city will be found uf interest to our readers. It is dated at Granite Creek, Feb. 1st: "All mining operations, ub far as taking out money is concerned, are suspended fur tho winter, and there is no money in circulation, which makes things quite dull. The city is growing rapidly, however, and new buildings are going on continually. Merchants and others are making extensive preparations fur the spring, as it is expected there will be a great rush of peoplo here auuii. At preseut thero are 0 stores, 10 licensed liquor houses, and 3 restaurants, nnd several more of each are in course of construction. I havo no doubt but there will be lively times here ua soon us work begins un the claims; but tho lower portion uf the creok will U'-t last longer than tliis summer, consequently the hope of the place iB in the upper portion, or what ia called the "south fork." That portion, howevor, has not yet been prospected) There aro parties prospering on the south fork this winter, but none of them have done enough Ms determine the character of tho ground. They have found a little gold hore and there. One of them found a nugget worth 99 a few hundred yards from a claim iu which I have au interest, and which some uf the most experienced minera consider the must likely portion of tho south fork. There is a good deal of prospecting going on on other creeks. Scarcely a week passes without some new excitement and a general stampede fur the reported discoveries; hut the weather has been too severe to permit much progress in prospecting open diggings. All that cnu safely be said nuw ia that thero is Borne gold in several uf them. We have had about 0 weeks of pretty cold weather, the coldest being about 30° below zero. Pack trains are still coining in via Nicola, but there have been no trains from Hope for some time, This is quite embarrassing to somo people who have supplieB stored at Hope and aro anxious tn get them in as soon as possiblo. Whon the Hope-Similkameen trail becomes passable, goods can bo gut in by it much cheaper than by Nicola. The weather now is turning mild, and some of the companies will probably begin soon to take out gold. Men are beginning to come in already. Some have arrived from old Cariboo, and more of thom will be hore soon; and they are much needed, as they are prime authority on mining matters; ahd I might add that their opinion is muoh respected here. In May or June we expect a flood that will put a stop to mining operations for a short time ou Granite Creek; but we hope to gat two or three months'work in before the flood comes. Favorable prospects have been found on Cedar nnd Slate creeks, but neither of them has been thoroughly tesled. I am under the impression that provisions will be dear until the Hope trail ia fit for pack trains, and it would be a pity if any rush ahould take place before that time, as it would cost a groat deal to live and there would be very little work." Several noblemen in England arajn the habit of giving special ordors to makers in Virginia for their supply of smoking tobacco. There is no doubt that by that means they gut the very best tobacco to be had, but it costs them $2 a pound. The workingmen of Canada are smoking the very same quality of tobacco at 60 cents a pound, and it is known to them by the name of "Myrtle Navy."

Tenders for advertising were received from the Guardian ofllce at 0 ots. per line for first insertion and 1 ct for subsequent insertions. From Tub Columbian office the following letter waa received, addressed to the clerk: Sin.—In reply to yours of this day, asking tenders for "printing bylaws and all other work iu the shape of printing done for the council for the first six months of the year 1866," we have to ■ay that it would be utterly impossible for any person to tender intelligently upon such specifications. The resolution does not propose any basis whatever upon -which te form an opinion as to the kind or extent ef the work tbat would be required under it. If the counoil were to ask tenders for all street improvements for six months, without specifying what improvements were contemplated, tho proposal would be quito as intelligible as tho one new submitted, When it has been specified exactly what printing is to be done, we ahall be happy to put in a tender, but we cannot tender on the specifications now given. With respect to advertising, the council must kuow that we have over and over again refused to tender for that, and the grounds of our refusal are well enough known to the printing committee. It is not usual to ask tenders for advertising, because it is well known that there is a very wide difference between different newspapers jas to circulation and influence, and these are the data upon which the valuo of advertising must be estimated. It would be manifestly absurd to ask a newspaper with 1000 of a circulation to tender Tor advertising against one with a circulation ot 500 when the contract would go to the lowest tender. Taking circulation as the basis upon which to estimate the value of advertising (and it is undoubtedly the true basis, other things being equal), an advertisement iu a newspaper with 1000 circulation would be worth twice as much as an advertisement In a paper with a circulation of 500. Wo must, therefore, decline, as we have always declined, to tender for corporation advertising. The proposal we have made to the printing committee seems to us fair and equitable, aud one that would show np partiality to any printing establishment, It ie to divide tbe advertising for the year fairly between the city newspapers, with the condition that the advertisements be set in a specified sho ot type, and charged at current rates. The advertising could be allotted by the clerk, the mayor, the printing committee or any other person or committee who had no personal interest in its distribution: and we havo no ground for appro* hondiog that this could not bo accomplished in a very satisfactory way to ail Sartiee. The printing could easily be one by tenders asked for eaoh job, the clerk to have authority to ask for tend* ers and award the contractu. These suggestions aru respectfully submitted for tlio consideration of the counoil, as it is not possible to tender for the work na proposed,—Very truly yours, D.

THE DOMINION PIANO &0RCAH CO. Speaking of the great central exhibition opened at Toronto on the 10th Sept., the Toronto Globe says: An object of Bpecial attention, which by very reason ot its prominence ou the grounds cannot escape the attention of the most casual and careless observer, is the pavilion of the Dominion Organ Company, This iB a separate building but a little distance from the south east of the Maui Building. This pavilion must be about 50 feet by 40 feet, with a porch or railed passageway all around it extra. It Jb handsomely painted, witli ample and almost entire glass section, comprising fully one-third of its height iu windows, and announces to all iu broad letters that it is the pavilion of that company, and that Joseph Ruse, of US Kim; street West, represents the company. Inside uo pains have been spared to make it attractive, and certainly its designs have succeeded. No one should visit the Exhibition without going through this pavilion, there he will find a little paradise of music. Here are decorations, handsome pictures of the Dominion factory and of the present store room of Mr. Ruse, aud above alt, pianos and organs of the most artistic and unique designs, The display of these instruments is grand indeed, and a splendid tribute to the genius and skill of our Canadian manufacturers. Pianos and organs of every style and artistic design are found here —a parlor grand, squares, and uprights of rose-wood, satin-wood with walnut trimmings, ebony and gold, mahogany and beryl walnut. A double manual and pedal bass organ, with handsome pipe top, faces the visitor at the extreme end as he enters this pavilion. For company are orgaus of every stylo aud design to suit the purchaser. The Company ahw-exhibit with the degree of triumph and merit the fact iB worthy of a cable despatch to them from Antwerp, Germany, announcing* that at a Grsud National Exhibition held there the Company had just carried off' the first prize over all competitors for its instruments. This is certainly remarkable, though when the rapid rise of this Company to public favor and confidence is considered, not so remarkable as at first might seem. The Company's success in honors, home and international, is something remarkable. Tho exhibit on the grounds is ocrtaiuly attractive and will amply repay a personal inspection and visit. Sir Charles Tupper ou Wednesday last emphasized the high compliment he paid the Dominion Organ and I'iano Company at the opening of the London Fair. In his address from the platform of the Art Gallery, speaking of the grent impe tus Exhibitions gave to every industry represented, he referred to the Canadian exhibit t at the Antwerp International Exhibition, Belgium, and cited as an illustration of the wonderful progress this country is making, the success of the Dominion Organ and I'iano Company there. He said that this Company (the Dominion Organ and Piano Company) had not only taken the highest award there, the very highest the judges could possibly confer over all other competitors, from England, France, and Germany, the very centres of cultivated classic music, countries justly celebrated for their skill and acquirements in musical knowledge, but these judges, who comprised some of their ablest and best musicians, had declared further that the Instruments of this company were snpe- riftr to any they had ever seen, heard, or examined. With such a compliment from auch a source, in addition to their success at this Exhibition, the Company ought to feel content, [T.

It may further be .ited that, reverence for true woman* ■ml and faithfully administered civil 'vernment, founndod ou Lhe laws of pd and of nature, are great external eserviitivt'H of civilization from decay. etico tlie obligations uf those in ithotiiy. It is the imperative duty civil government tu appoint only ich idlieois who are wise, prudent, 'most, and, if possible, truly in har* ouy with the -.livine author of such )vernment, Nut a few riots, revolu- ■ms, and civil wurd arise from the up* iintmoiifc of bad, imprudent, or dis- jualiticd persons to otlice; appointed Imply because they arc political par- Izana, a broken-down politician, an wid vent business man, sonic one too \\iy to ©uru a living by manual labor, v some one possessed of nioie anibi- iun than good principles or common ense. This is wrong, foolish, wicked, ind treason ngainst the divine author if civil government, and the best in- erests of the people; and all the con- icquences of the crime, the suitoring, :he blood, uud the loss ot life that re- Iliulta from such wicked appointments must be accounted for before a tribunal from which there is no appeal or escape. There no crime will be glossed over, for the graud jury will weigh every case in thc scales uf truth, equity, and purity, aud give their verdict accordingly. There the criminal cannot be bailed out nf the hands uf inflexible justice; he muat stand hia trialt listen to his sentence, and receive his doom. The higher iu ollicial authority, the greater the guilt. The indictment of all criminals at the bnv of Cod will contain three counts: the evil dono, the consequent accumulative, destructive influences on others, und the good neglected to be done. As a man is known by the company he keeps, or the character of the books [ he generally prefers to read, so is a government" judged by the appointments it cholines*, to make. There is no room fur question here. If bad appointments ara made the government' lose? the respect nnd confidence of the great majority of citizens, both good'' and bad, but especially tbe good. And if it neglects or refuses to cancel such appointments when brought to its notico, it continues to sink in the estimation of those whono confidence it ought to be ambitious tu possess. The civil government ought to suppress by all means in its power everything that injures ur degrades the people or any part uf them; and it ought tu encourage whatever is calculated to promote the general good of all. This is God's design iu instituting civil government, and ho who neglects to use liis influence in securing the best interests of his country is verily guilty before God. Let all branches of tho guvernment, as well as the people, study and imitate the beautiful examples and models set before ub hy the Father, Son, ami H»ly Spirit, the divine authors of all civil government, then may we expect to realize the in* c-U'muble value uf freedom, the wealth of prosperity, uud the nublima glories of Christianity; but not till then. Divorce Christianity from civil government and what moral havoc, civil dis- urdur. and anarch*]- is (he fearful to sult! Let the nation dismiss the Ore* tor from the country he has made, and the government he hae instituted, and we nre ready for another Frenoh revolution, characterized by the most infernal excesses and dyed with rivers of blood! To commit treason against the king of kim-s is to sign our own death warrant, and call all the demons of the lower depths to assist in our exoction! Civil government was not originally designed tn bo a political foot-ball to be kicked hither and thither au the caprices and corruption of politicians dictate. It is a sacred institution, and ought to be hu regarded. In writing tlm above paper, I claim no originality (the term original ia sonietimos applied in ideas that arc now to nn individual, though thousand* before lum mny have had precisely the annio idea; but more definitely to those ideas that have hover been made known before so far as is known. What is new to humanity, in this sense is truly original), having only condensed the scattered rays of light from various sources, and concentrated them upon n subject of vital interest to the people, that they may seo more clearly the divine authors of civil government, its very great importance, the grand design of Its institution, and that good citizenship implies obedience to civil laws made in harmony, implied or expressed, with divine law. It is true that u farmer's life does not favor literary pursuits, having to do a littlo now and a little then, as circumstances permit; but I think tbe beat minds in Christendom will approve of the position taken in this paper. If it should aid any uf its readers in obtaining more correct viewa, I ihall bo well repaid. Ww. Kbnt, M.D. your correspondent written in thc per- sounl, vindictive manner which he does m the issue of the 20th inat. Ho seems determined to breed discord and strife between the several settlements comprising tbis municipality. He certainly reveals the true inwardness of his wandering propensities. I would suggest that your correspondent, and those of the inhabitants of the prairie who are in such a Btate of confident expectancy, take up a subscription, purchase material and finish the schuot house and wash the lime and other stains from the floor. Thus they will have the satisfaction uf knowing they have performed, if not a patriotio, at least an act that is calculated to improve the sanitary cmditiou of tho school bouse. In regard to what is said of Mr. Jones, I believe Mr. Jonu* is in overy way a most desirable settlor aud one'deserving of our sympathy aud encouragement. Iu regard to another reputed "jumping" case the facts are as follows: Mr. Kickbuah, finding be cuuld not fulfil the conditions of settlement required by law, and being a gentlemen who is desirous uf seeing the country developed, gave Mr. Starr permission tu go ou to the locution and occupy tho same. I only wish partius in this neighborhood ware us willing to assist in tho settlement and improvement uf our wild lands. Your correspondent also evinces an ultnost paternal interest in Mr. H. Laidlaw's personal welfare, with what object, pray, Mr. Wanderer? It will, perhaps, be gratifying tu learn that the bridgo will be placed un the rivor bo that Mr. L. will have the benefit of the samo. Now in regard tu myself, there need be no rumor as to my action. I have never made any secret as to what 1 believe the future of iIub Surrey uf ours will be, i.e., that it is destined to become the premier district of B.C., aud whether I am clerk of the municipality or mil, su lung us I know of one quarter section of laud tbat jb vacant, and will support n family, so long will I endeavor to induce settlers to locate thereon. It shall never be a part of my policy* to prevent settlement through gross and selfish misrepresentation, and virtually drive some of the most desirable settlors away fur selfish ends. No, sir, I believe this is a country to be desired, and if not at present blooming, in tho near future its development will surprise a great many, Mr. Wanderer included. In regard to the unwarranted criticism of Mr. Huck, that gentleman is an enterprising business man, bo far as Iub meanB will allow. His store (let it be Waterloo, ur Rocky Point, or what not) has beeu a great convenience tu the settlers iu tbe neighborhood, and Mr. Wanderer may depend that Mr. Huck will keep up with the requirements of bia business, whether he has two, three, or thirty tons of merchandise on the way. Furthor, Mr. H. is a business man who attends to his own business. He has no idea of carrying such a revolution in business circles as that predicted by your correspondent. By the way the cabin jumping at Elgin, so far as I can learn, is simply a fabrication of Mr. Wanderer's, and has no foundation in fact. In conclusion, Mr. Editor, I woultl remind ynu of an editorial that appeared iu the Columiuan a little uver twu years ago. You said respecting the correspondence then going on from Surrey, "When will it stop r I beg to suggest the same question fur your consideration at tho present time; for certainly such correspondence as that which has appeared from Surrey, in the Columiuan, in recent issues, is not calculated to promote thc well-being of any community.
