The nmount ut goods which the Aweritans slsughter in onr Juurket may wot be very largo; but the constant Mability must be in tho Mehest degreo embag- rassing and injurious to our produccrs.

Only two passengers have heen kitled on the 1ino of the Atlantic & Great Western Rallrond during the fifteen years of its existence. ‘There is probably not anothor roud lu this country that can show such a record. & Alsrge number of Eastern Goneral Froight Apgents and Fast Frelght Line Managers are in tho city to participate in the regular monthly meeting of the Fast Frelght Lines which will bo held fn this city to<lay. Only routine busi- ness will be traneacted. The General Ticket nnd Passenger Agents’ Association tricd to hold another mecting yos- torday, but had agaln to adjourn, 8 quorum not making their appearance. Tho scalpers’ trial is the causc of the abscoce of most ot the mem- bers. The scalpers’ casc was iven to the jary Iast eyening, with feave to bring In s sealed verdict this mrorning.

Feanciadiincks aamits that the romoval of the line wanldg be benehictal to both conntries, thioneh, having made that admission, he, like the reaf, refases to pursue the periloia theme. Now, the questions which I wish to submit to you are these: If a commicrelal unfon with the rest of out continent 18 casential, or even will bo highly condurive to the well-being of ‘our people, {8 it not aure in the end to comel And, o it Is sure to come, where Is the use of strug- wling to-stave {t off, and to stave off the return of nnrrronpefllv at the samo time by a taritt warl \Whyshould we not cut ehort thio process, and enter at oncs into the enjoyment of the benefits to which natare beckons us with both her handst It would verhaps be presumption on my part to express an oplujon as to the canabliities of Canadian fndustry in the preseace of its chiefs. But tha opinion which I have formed, from in- torcourss with some of onr leading commer- cfal men, s that, with the qualitics of our peo- le, with our speclal resources, and the great Pund oflabor highly avallable for manufacturers ‘which exists in yoir province, Canada could at lenst held her own. In the present bighly- specialized state of nanufactures, a small mar- ket is a bml market, and the Canadian market, atill more the market practically avatlable to any one provinceof the farstretcliing Dominfon, is comparatively smalt. The present American tariff is objecttonabla. But a tarifl does not affect a continent, which Is almost self-sufficing, in the samc way that it aflfects & natlon with limited territory and pro- ductions. Hesides; In a commerciafl union we shoulil have our vote. You will perhaps eny, let us try again to obtain a partial Treaty of Rediprocity, But, in the first place, a partial reciprocity is likely to be partial in more senscs than one, beesuss, both at Washington and here, the stronger Interests will bo apt to gov- ern the negotiations. In the second place, it is diflienlt to work, In the case of _tnavfac- tures at lenst, and fraught with the danger of eomplications, because it could be hardly possi- ble to prevent Canada from becoming an en- trepot for European contraband. In tho thind place, it would not rid usof tho expense and an- noysnce of the custows line. Iu the fourth place, it would be precarfous and liable to be upaet with the Industries butlt upon it, by a re- curreoce of the bad feellog between England avd the United States. In thafifth vlace, it has been positively refured by the Awmericans, for reacons which anpear likaly torematn In force. As to the political question, no objection can CASUALTIES. lie, in principle, sgninst a commercial unton which does not Ho nzainst a posta! uglon; aud & CAME OFF, postal union we already have. Those who desire the continuance of existing political arrrange- wents will hardly promote thelr object by in- slsting that the political arrangements stand fatally in_the way ol a measurs which would creatly add to the prosperity aud bappincss of the Canadian people. Whether a comuierclal union with the United Btates would iuvolve us in a fiscal conflict with England.is 8 question not to bo settled by conjecture. It is to be settled by re- ferring the point directly, to ™ tho Home Government, and escertaining from them whether wo posscss commercial autonomy or not, ‘The Eugland uf the peuplo, L am very sure, will answer In the atlirmative, ana tell us that it only wants us Lo prosper, £row s rich as we can, preserve the nd of affection, and afford to English emigrants a good home, Wit the auswer of tho Imperlalist aristocrucy which is now ln power will be, [ must confess, is not sn clear.

White Hard-Wood Lumber Com- ‘pany, or any company, for a farm or any speciesof property, is & malicions, unfonnded faleahiood, There s no suit ‘nmow, nor has thers ever been 8 nmt.commenced against me to recover back any propetty which I traded 1 do not care to notice many misrepresentations which ap- near in your papor concerning my bueinesr and pa- litical life, and, apparently, which you take pleas- are In publiehing, When you attack my buainess character, [ desire (o givo you an opportanity 1o retract every word, or I shall hold you strictly sc- coantable for the many sehuodn which “have been published at yonr hands or may appear in your paper. Respectfnlly, Uronox 5, WinTe. The above flat contradiction—tlnt George E. White had never traded any stock in the George ., White Jlard-Wood Lumber Company for & Iarma or any apecies of property, and that thero was no suit pending and none ever commenced agninst him t6 recover back the property— causcd a reporter to make a search for tho bot- tom facts, And they wera not long in coming to the front. A reporter sought Dr. Belt to learn what ho had to sav_about White's deninl, but that gentleman, 1t afterwards apneared, felt s0 chagrined at recent heavy losses that ho was nfraid of a shadow, and seclided hlinself, Judio Woud, bis attorncy, was sought for and found, and lie too was taken a-back by White's denful, but ho satd the documents were in the city; the Clerk of the Circuit Court of [roquols Connty, wheru Judee Wood bad presided an tho Bench, hud scnt the pypers in, and they were in the keeolng of a brother lawyer, close by, The lat- ter was interviewed, and “vroduced tho identieal papers in the case, Tho bill setting forth the nliegations hore on tho outalde the following: & Arthur Boll vs. James I, Illldreth et al! ‘The et sl included Georgo E. Whito and lifs wile Minnio B, anud his brothor-in-law, James E. Kllne, the latter o saloon-keepor on tho West Blde, and not “n farmer from the Enst,” as has been said, . And tho connectlon of those persons In the transactions whereby Dr, Bell Jost about all ho was worth was contained in the suld bill, Stripping tho bill of jta legal phrasculogy. It sots forth the following: Dr. Arthur Bell had two parcels of land in Futton County, 11k, a farm of B0 acres In Iroquols Couuty, and property in (irecnwood County, Kan,, and a powor of attorney to scll for his brother suma land in Omaba, Neb, The valuo of the property included in the trade, and exclusive of the two tracts in® ¥ulton County, was $34,000. Hildreth and White Dbe- gan the negotiatlons with Dr., Bell along in March or April Iast. - Thoy srranged to trado two-tnirds of the capital stock of the George B, White Hardwood Lumber Compsny—which con- sisted of 600 shores at $100 vach—for Dr, Bell’s 234,000 worth of propecty, and Informed him that the stock stood in the name of Ueorge K. White, 80 he could act as President, * The Doc- tor told them that the Iroquois County farm was. limciimbered to the oxtent of 84,000, To Indemnify Whita on tho Iroquols County prop- rrtr. the” Doctor zave him a mortzage on the Fulton County land, und ho also turned over to White, as ha alleges, personal property on the Jroquols County farm, consisting of Hve stock, sgricultural lmplemonts, ete., valued ot 3,600, « Bofura the trade, however, White requusted that lands be deeded to Hildretl, and they cordingly male in that ex-fugitive’s namey Fve days after Iljlareth recolved the deeds—Avril 25, 1878—Dr. Boll took possesslon of tho atock ofdthe Georyrs E. White Hardwood Lumber Compnny. On tho 37th of the same month Hildreth decded tho )maba property to James E. Kling, White’s brotlicr-in-law, and on thu day fullowing Hlildreth gave » scrond moytzare on the lroquols County farm to Minuly E. White to sccuro an alleged loan of $10,000, Two or three days afterward Dr. Hell took posses- slon of the oflice and lumber-yard of the Ucorzo E. Wiite iardwood Lumber Compuny. He employed E. L. Graden tg take an {aventory of the stock of ¢lum i tho yard, aud found that tibre was_ mot to exceed $6,000 worth, whoereas Ceorga E. White, lo making negotiations with tho Doctor, tiadd represented that thero was lumber In the yord valued at $26,000. Ilc also represented that among tho asscts of the Campuny wero notes receivabla for 820,000, and of those notes the Doctor tound $10.000 azalust u Green Bay 'T‘l"' which he thought lovked decldudly sus- pletons, All the porsons mentioned abova as defend- ants in tho suit bave been served with the nee- essary legal notices by Deputy-8heriff Fogarty, oud tho case—which has becn brousht to sct astde the transfers of the property on tho ground of fraud—atands on answer, and_will probably be renched at the noxt scsslon of the rot&uoh County Court, over which Judge m; ere nc- es presides., A 'red Adams, who was at'one time bookkeoper for Georgo E.
