8 CANADIAN CONFEDERATION. SPECIAL, GOBBESPOMDEMCE OF THE HERALD. and Persen- Keformers— Tee Gaod Trunk Railrond and Inter e—Corruptien by Capital-The Tonosro, May 14, 1867, The sooming patriotism of tbe political leaders in this province, as evinced by the coalition formed with the mowed design of eecuring confederation, bas been re- gerded by many as ® mere pretext set up forthe pur- povo of goiting over am: awkward difficulty, “The sincerity of the government wus senously questioned at ene time in consequence of the delay in pushing forward We vnoo project, aud it cannot be denied that there was egret dos! of selfishness jn the matter, at least om eo far as some of the neediest members of the coalition were conserptd, To them it was ail unportant that they sbovid be in oiflee in order to enjoy its sweets; there- fore, ss was'not bard to convince them of the necessity @ och ap afrangement as would divide the pablic patronage when it was seen that neither party could, of Mteell, revel unmolested among the good things supplied as ibe governmental enb. Although coalitions bad previously beeo denounced as unholy alliances, and worthy nothing bat the scorn and contempt of bouest mev, those who had been loudest in their denuaciations giedly availed themeeives of the opportunity to become members of the administration, and manifemed no Desitenon in joining hands with their old enemieg. ‘Thai ubere was a stocere desire to effect a change bav+ ‘ng for 4» Object the removal of those grievances why Bad 80 ong caused the bitterest animosity and polithat’ excitement, 't 1s but {air toadmit, The obiels of the (wo parties—Mesrs, Macdonald and Brown—were unques Movabiy actuated by the purest motives in aliempting ‘We solution of the most difficult political entanglement ‘that ever Canadian statesmen had dealt with, and they eertainly approached it in a manner to win the approba- ‘Won and secure the aid of the people. Session after ses- wiop of Parliament witnessed 8 gradus! augmentation of the aifficulty, until at jemgth# dead lock in legislation ‘wae momipent, Neitber party could do more than secure @ doubtfal majority of ome or two, the preponderance abifting trem one side to the other, as circumstances migbtoccasion, This state of things certainly proved she corrupt character of the Legislature, and it was but watural‘to infer that both parties had resorted to unfair means to marntain power. Nothing is more apparent than the fact that corraption prevailed to an alarming extent, and that it was well fo put an end to the evil, as 8 i@ to de hoped will be the case under the new eystem. The advent of the frat coalition, im 1864, was the signa) for a renewal of political strife, which culminated tm forcing the party leaders to devise the ecbeme which for nearly three years bad kept down excitement in the @ountry. The great questons of the clergy resery Signoria} tenure and the rectories were soon disposed of ‘by the coalition government taking them up at the first ‘epportunity; but a new subject was broached, that of Freach domination, and it produced quite an effect. Agrtation became rife, and -this cry of Lower Canadian supromacy was deftly handled by Mr. George Brown and bis friends, The war of words grew fierce and Attorney General Macdonald was goaded !nto waking a violent attack upon Mr, Brown, accusing him ef certain Sorrupt acts in connection with the appoirtment of Pen- Mentiasy Commissioner, under a former government. ‘This led to bitter recrimination, aed political feeling waged eo angrily that it was with difficulty tt was re- tratved within anything approaching to decen: bounds. ‘Ma Macdonald was assaiied by various membors of the Opposition, but he paid them of for their temerity, It ‘was ut thie time that he taunted Colone!

The thing worked so weil that the English directors of the Great Western were induced: to enter into the arrange- ment, and the manager at Hamilton, Mr. Swinyard, was telegraphed for1o go to England by the first steamer. He went, and on his arrival found tbat the arrangement was fully decided upon; but he presented such a pic- tre of the condition of the Grand Trunk, and 8 dam- oe"s article = ‘simultanoously in the columns of the London raw: Teureaiee copied from a Canadian Paper, that it was deemed advisable to abandon the idea Of aranming arrangement, Defeated on this point, Mr. Brydges had recourse to another e: jient, and that ‘was to prevail upon thesbareholders of the Grand Trunk t© mise meney enourh to put the read into good repair. His plan was to have a report circulated that be was sbout to aceept an important appormtment in connection ‘with some English road; but it did not succeed, and it is sot koown thac the money bas been or is likely tobe rewed. People have become ly sick of Grand Trovk rape and it looks as if there would soon be an end it. What makes it most desirable at the present ti that the raiiroad schemers and speculators should have the Grand Trunk put into a state of good ir, is the pros- pert of an amalgamation of the proposed Tater Colonial Railway with: the Grand Trunk; and the wonder is that tbe thing was not seen to before, Tho passage of the Railway Loan act, by which $20,000,000 is secured for the construction of the Inter-Colonial road, was the signal fora rush among railroad contractors, and it 1s erally believed that there will be an immense deal plundering carried on in connection with the project. It.has been reported that the contract for building the entire line had been given out, but that is not the case, and there will be all sorts of manipulation among those who are anxious to obtain contracts, No country affords ‘@ greedier set of land sharks in the form of contractors than Canada, and they are not very scrapulous how they succeed in their 3 upon the public purse, This Inter-Colonial ‘ay i8 going to be the worst project the country ir saw—nothing short of another Grand Tronk affair upon nearly a* extensive a scale. It will bea perfect sink of corruption, and prove a greater burden ypon the country than even the Grand Trumk, for it hax not equal prospects of being a paying concern, and every one knows that the latter has been swallowing public and private funds ever since the firet day it was opened. But our contractors avd politica! schemers have learned #0 much since the Grand Trunk was boitt that they are prepared to ope- rate more extansively and with a better chance of mak- ing money. Already the schemers are at work. Quebec as determined to have the terminus of the new line op- posite that city, even if it costs the country a large sum to rupit to that point, The newspapers started the Agitation of the matter, and public meetings have de- clared in favor of it. Montreal will perhaps demand another Victoria Bridge in connection with the road, and possibly branches may be required in various direc: tioue. It would be monstrous to divert the rond from the direct line in order to accommodate Quebec; but there is no telling what a government may do, aod if the reformers are right we are to have just such’ a gov- ernment. The work on the road will have to be commenced six inonths after the passing of the act. It is thought that there is some scheming going op in connection with the election of Senators, who have to be appointed by the Crown, recommended, of course, by the present provincial governments. The original intention was to select them, in so far as Canada was concerned, from among the present Legislative Coun- eilors, which body becomes defunct with the inaugura- tion of the union of the provinces, Twenty-four of-the Dumber were clected by the people, and dozen are been known as Jite members; that'ts, u inted for life by the Crown, Now, as have te peltnrows’ aside, un ie neta: ‘rat @ that ‘he /esteation mast offence to gtve passed over, One took upon bimselfito re- sign, as te velleved he not lil to be appointed, The government decided last Satu upon the a ators to be ited, aud the Bicinip Ogee k oo the government axe os ‘mollitying them, — ‘as the act provides that additional Senators may appointed Under certain conditions, it will not be difficult to find an exouse for resorting to the expedient, by way of eerving any who’ may be friends of the administra- tion.

Axsnican InsTiturs,—An interesting meeting of the Polytechnic branch of tMibjamerican Institute was held last evening, at the Cooper building, 8. D. Tillman, the talented President of the association, occuping the chair, After the discussion of recent theories and facts which had been brought to light in scientific knowledge, the especial aubject of the evening, viz:—‘The Use of Gypsum as a Fertilizer,” came before the meeting. Dr. Palmer read a very concise and exhaustive paper on the subject, He commenced by giving a short description of the nature of the article on which he was going to treat, Gypsum when broken into small pieces and catcined is what is ‘gerferally known as plaster of Paris. ‘When this is made into a pasteand sets it forms a bard, cohereut mass, which is cailed stucco, amd has the same composition as tne pative gypsum, It bas bren‘ extensivery used as a fertilizer in various countries for a jong time; and ta the United States it is applied with great advantage to almost every,crop; in many cases it is sown with the'seed, and 4n others it is put into the drills or holes with manure, and frequently dusted over the romng Pate early in the ring. The mode of applying it should depend upon climate and quality of soil, Gypsum requires four bundred and sixty parts of water to dissolve it, conse- quently in dry climates 1t would have but little effect if only dusted over the tops of young plants, Altbough diluted sulphuric acid and lime have the same effect, still gypsum is far cheaper, and indeed easier to be ob- tained, and it 18 more effective in clayey soils. Liebig, the celebrated chemist, says in his observations on organic chemistry applied to agriculture, that ‘the striking fer- tility of @ meadow on which gypsum has been strewn depends only on its fixing in the soil the ammonia of the atmosphere which would otherwise be volatitized with the water which evaporates."’ Dr. Palmer, however, is of the opinion that Liebig’s 1 is wrong, and he is supported in bis opinion by several eminent chemists of the day. After mentioning some detailed statistics on the subject Dr. Palmer observed that the beneficial action of the crop does not disappear with the crop to which it is actually applied, as the succeeding crop, and even the one after tbat, too, occasionally exhibits proof. of its value as a fertilizer, and on grass lands the amelioration is visible for many successive years.
