THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNI: FRIDAY, MAY 1, 1874, e CANADA. Dificnlties Tnherited by the Now Minlstry.--The Ricl Casee Agltation for a Prohibitory Liquor Law ---Annual Expenditures of * the Dominion, Trade with tho States---A Royal Gov- ornor-General---Railway aond Roligious Notes, From Our Oicn Carrespondent, OTTAWA, Ont,, April17, 1874, This prosperous English-Fronch city, situato on tho dividing lino botweon the old Puritanio sottlors of Lanark, Stormont, aud Northumbor- Jand, and the Catholle populations of tho coun- tios lying northenst of the -Oftawa River, has boen for the past threo weeks in o stato of grent pxeltomont. That most momentous thing, o far a8 its intorosts are concernod, THE PARLIANENT OF THE DOMINION OF CANADA, {s in gession in tho fine, massive, publia build- Ings on tho bluffs overlooking the noble river, With an absolutoly-unoventful session, Ottnwa is alsays lively; with such a concurrenco of son- sational ovants a8 bave token place during tho past six months, all gravitating towarda the present assomblago of Parliament, it was most ontural that this eiby, with its divorso popula-’| tion, should go almost frantie, It is nok vory fong sinco tho whole country was oxcited by tho holding of o gencral olection, Tho result of that appeal to tho country placed Mr. Mackonzio and bis supporters in an assured pnsulnq of su- promacy ; but not until the present Porliamont ansomblod hns nn_opportunity boen affordod to tho members of tho Cabinet to meot tho ropro- sentatives of tho peoplo and declaro tho moas- ures thoy will submit for thoir consideration, Alroady tho new Liboral Governmont have shown their enrnostncss in the causo for which, for fifteon years past, they have heon battling in tho ranks of opposition, by istroducing, o8 Administration mensures, bills for tho ostablish- ment of the ballot; appointmont of Commission- ors to procced to Washington to endoavor to bring about closer reciprocal trade-relations be- twoon this country and tho United Statos; tho early presentation of reports from the sovoral Dopnrtmonts of Stato; and by such & rapid cconomy in tho ndministration” of tho publio gorvico as to bring tears of joy and gladnoss to tho oyes of evory Scotchmau in tho wholo Dominion. A LEGAQY OF DIFFIOULTIES. It is truo, howover, that tho ways of tho Maokonzie Govornment, even thus early, had not beon_clear of very ombarrassing obstacles. Most of thom, indeed, are tho legacy into which thoy have come ns the successors of n fraudulong and corrupt Ministry ; but somo are owing to thoir own desire, duriug tho lata clection, to ride two horses at ono time. ‘The Dominion of Cannda s yory well roprosented in mininture by its Capital City, Populetion is about evonly ,divided botween French aud English-speaking oople,—botwoon Catholics aud Protestants. Eo Government can hold oflice o dny that loses tho entire confidenco of eithor E‘mrty,—lt is abso- lutely nocossary to success that thero should ‘o n large body of supporters in both camps. o rosult of this is, that o Minlatry is apt to malco promisos to both partics, and when it is forcod to chooso, tha task is rendered tha more or loss dififenlt s tho strength of character of tho Chief Ministor is great or small. No battor illustration of this has over boon afforded in tho hlstory of Couada than in the extrnordinary squabblo that has takon placo over the body of thig 5 WORTELESS BCOUNDREL, LOUI8 RIEL, Thin most notorlous reprosentative of the Tronch metis of the Northwest, the londer of the Munitoba insurractionists, wns unfortunata enough, in the mad woment of victory, to order tho execution of ar Orangeman, named ‘Thomas Beott. Trom that timo ho has Leen a bouo of contontion batween tho two uationnlities which divide thin country botween thom. To tho masg of the Fronch population, Ermub—nddou and bators of Orangemen, ho has been » hero,—ta tho entiro English population, ho has boou o criminnl, deserving of a spoedy trinl and a short shrift. 1Mo was eloctod to Parlinment froua the Tronch District of Provencher, but resigned in order that tho late Ministor of Militia, Bir Georgo . Carttor, might have o constituency when driven from his old home, Montro- al. Whon Sir Goorge diod, the place was again open for Riel, and at_tho lato election he was elected by o lnr;io majority to reprosent the district in_tho Parfiamont of” Canada, Tho telegraph has kopt your roaders informed of tha gamo of battledore and shuttlecock which has boon played, since Parlianiont opencd, with this arch-conspirator, and it will bo needloes for mo to writo at longth about it, Mr, Mackonzio for somo timo wavered; but at lougth his own strong Puritanic sympatbics gained the ascend- ancy; his Scoteh antipathy for tho dirty, non- progrossive Fronch metis overcame other con- siderations; and, taking the chioice of tho loast of two evils, he declared that the Government of which be was chief would never recommend an smnesty to the vffenders in the Noithwestern rebollion, which should cover the crimo of mur- der, cold-blooded aud brutal. His dotermination in this rospoct was considerubly strongthoned by this porsistence with which ono Mackonzie Dowy- cll, the Head-Mastor of tho Orange fratornity in Cannds, followed at bis hcols, Ilicligious hatrod i the bitterest of all hntrods, and, ns the em- bodiment of that religioua funnticism which re- rards King William 1L 08 its glorious naint, Mr. owell hns been ns merciloss 3 a pauther, “I'ha follow Riel is s A POOR BPECIMEN OF MUMANITY to make so great & fuss over. Ho is undersizod, balf-cducated, s veliglous onthusinst, and im- monsoly miscrable. Fora long time he 1oveled in tho notoriety which his namo had soquired, end the inconso of Hlattory which was wafted to him from the whole French pross mnde him think himself hnlf'?fld.

Lo is_cortaln thut it has shown tho doplorablo fuct that the asperities of roligious huired and the jenlousies of 1ace blossom a8 richly uow ug they ever did ju the old days when Uppor Caue ada, for its salvation, fought for * rep. by Fop.,“ and wae content to &oe its Parlininont- Houso burned by a mob rather then surcender ita principles. A PRONIDITORY LIQUOR LAW. . The temperauce crusade, which has swept sver the Westorn States, hus not mado its ap- Eeumuca fu this country in the same manuer, ‘but in othor wayes has clearly shown that tho spiritof temporanco agitation isabroad, andisnot confined to uny ono particular sectlon of conntry, In Cannda 1t hins takon the moro practical form of w affort to pass & prohibitory li(}uur law. Every tornoon, when tho Speaker takos the chair in ‘he Houso of Commmons, tho first order of busi- ness Is_the prosentation of potitions, Thexo genarally cover a diverso numbor of subjocts, but sometimen refor to ono subjoot almost en- tlrely, At tho presont time, the rush of neti- Uons Lo the Clerk's dogl is mainly due to tho enrnest deniro of so many thoussnds of Hor HMajoaty's llogn-unh{l\:um to” expross thelr sontl- ments in favor of tho E“Mgu of n_prohibitory liquov insv.

Tho importance of more liboral trado-relations Dotween this country and ihe United States will Vo rendored vory cloar when tho extent of our business, evon under tho present system, is statod. Thanks to the extrn energy which the new Ad- minietration have set about thoir duties, the pub- lic have boon placed in posaession of Dopart- montal roports oarlier this season than ever be- fore. From that on *“/I'rado and Navigation," it apponrs that the value of CUanadian oxports to tho United States Inst yoar wns 840,500,000 ; mor, in fact, than thoso to all othor countrios addod togothor, 'To the mother-country wo sent only 231,600,000 worth of exports; and fo the West Indies and South Amerios, to which we looked for such large orders, tho totals only ronch about £8,000,000. To France, the exports figuro nt the ridiculous total of §31,000,000. ‘The imports from the United States figure up to 847,780,768; from Groat Britain, to $8,653,~ 776, Tho total busincss botweon thio Statos and this country smounted to nbont $90,000,000; with Groat Britain to over 107,000,000, A TOYAL GOVERNOR-GENERAL. Our codflsh arislocrnoy bavo beon much ax- cited over somo hints that have beon dropped from porsons high in ofiicial lifo, that it was nob boyond tho rauge of poseibilitios that Conada might, in the uear future, hope to havo a Gov- ornor-Uoneral in whose voins should courso tho Dblood of Itoyalty, 1t lias ever been thus; and I doubt not Lionost, sousible Chioagoans will bo tomptod to agreo with mo when I say, that from tha most ultra-Domooratio ranks spring somo of the most sycophantio aud contemptibla of Roy- alty-worshipors, Cauada is blessed with its full complement of grocorsandlivory-stablo-keepers, browers aud bakers, who linve amassod woalth, oud now would gladly surrondor their hopes of admittance within the pearly gates if, by chaneo, thoy could ba allowed to hobnob with & eprig of Royalty bere bolow. These Colonial quidnunca would only be too glad to sottle that vexod ques- tion with our good mother YVictorin, a8 to what shall be dono with her numerous prugenf. now thoy Liave grown up, by deciding that the latcst- marriod of tho batch ba sontto play for four yoars a8 Govornor-General of tho Canadus. Ab tho baro possibility of such a thing, middle-nged men have in secrot wondored how thoy would look in Lnece-breeches; and old ladies, who should concontrato their thoughts on the future life, have agitatod themselves into ngues over the distrcesing problom of Low low on the shoulders, and how long at the heols, it would be the O. K. thing for their court-dresses to bo. The Scotel, howaver, have nover boen enthu- plastic over tho Brunswick dynasty; and, with regard to the lately-marrivd Doke of Edinburgls, they have not forgotten tho fnct that he never poid his debts in Australia, and sold divt-cheap some of tho most costly presents medo to him by his mother's subjoctsin that far-off Province, From those the ory Las gou up: “Doliver us from n Royal Governor! Ielp us not to a Vico- roy who aiready Las shown that he possosses all tho faults aud none of the very rare virtued of tho Drunswick family.” And tho wail as 1isen so plaintively, and from 50 many thousand thronts, that, notwithstand- ing Distaeli is bossing (ho Royal family of En- gland {unt now, and is desirous of recenstructing the Colonics of Gront Dritnin in the most av- Krovcd Tory way, it is beyond doubt that tho ow Dominion will not bave forced upon it a characteristically-stingy represontative of the stingiest Royal house of all the crowned families of Turope. TATLWAY-NOTFS. At last the mighty bove follen. Mr. J. C. Brydgos, Director end Mnnager of the Grand I'runk Ruilroad of Canada, has resigoed, and only nwuits the appointment of s succossor to retire from an olice ovor which, for the prst deende, ho lias presided. Mr, Beydges is by far tho nblest of our Cruadian railrond-men ; but he has had to fight egainst obstaclos which would havo disheartened the mosk couragoous.: For somo years ho was counected with tho Great Western Railroad, and took hold of the fortunos of the Grand Trunk ata timo whon the future of -tho rond laoked absolucaly hopeless. It is true his management has not been faultless: be has committed serious blunders, and hos resigned now because, under the new Londou Directory, his viows on certain points aro not supported.

MR, BRYDOLS' RESIGNATION may be lndlreclfifiunncu!ud with the defent of the Magdoould Ministry.
