When first forced to resign oMce by the shameful disclos ures of the Pucific scandal some oi the Ministertal journals were clamoreus for a general election im- mediately but when the newty appointed Ministers appealed omly to thelr own constituencies the Macdonald’ party began to think it would be better for them to fight it out in Parliament without aa appealo the country, and they theretore were caugisee ifttle unprepared, and feel, consequentiy, sore at the sudden determination of the govern- mera to havea general election. Cae good thing will probably result from this el poston, and thatts the introducyien of the Ameri-y; Can system of 4 SENULTANEOUS ELECTION, thout the entire Dominion. Hitherto the has been for the existing government to ‘@eleet such constituencies as it was known to f estrong in, and have elections held there frst, @0 as to run up a long list of government support- \ <@rs before any o! the opposition were returned, and ‘Shus make it appear that the government was @aining strength, thereby disheartening the const- “‘tuencies in which the parties were pretty evenly ‘walanced. In this way a general eiection "was stretched over two and sometimes three montis. This time the government has f@uggested to the returning oficers—in whose bands it really rests, as tue law at present stands, to appoint the day of nomination and day ef poll- ‘mg—to fixon tue same day throughout the Proy- fmces of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Bova Scotia, namely, tue 22d inst. for nominations and the 29th for poiling. Inthe outlying Provinces ef Prince Edward’s Island, Manitoba and British Columbia the elections will take place about two ‘weeks later, PROGRESS IN THE METHOD OF THE FRANCHISE. Next session of Parliament an act ts to be intro- @uced appointing one day for the entire Dominion, more time being allowed for the writs to reach It is be made Sheir destination and for their retarn. iso probable that an effort will @o abolish the custom of having one @ay for nomination and another for election; it Deing claimed that nomination is only a stupid, @uinbversome form, copied from the English cus- @om, Without any utility 1m i: aud very expensive, On the other hand, it is) ur; vhat, although & @omination day may be unnecessary in towns and ‘@ities where every one cac see in the Bewspapers ‘who the candidates are and what are their opin- fons and views, it 1s very necessary in remote @ountry districts, where people pave not news- Papers convement, and where nommation day !s ‘the only time at which they have an opportunity of seeing the candidates and hearing what they Bave to say for themselves. There appears to be a GROWING TENDENCY TOWARDS UNIVERSAL SUF- FRAGE 4m Canada. It is already the law in New Bruns- Wick, and it was pretty freely discussed in the —_ isiature last Thursday, when the new ction bill was under discussion, and is fore- ‘Shadowed in Mr. Mackenzie's announcement of the — of his government. The qualification now the Province of Quevec is $30 rental, and an effort wiil probabiy be made to reduce that ti not sbolish it altogether. Voting by ballot 1s also get- ting more popular and has been introduced by the | *“vanada First’ party as one of the planks in their wiorm. One of the reasons adduced in its favor that it will tend to lessen the great amount of | bribery now practised at elections, as candidates Would hesitate to pay @ man tor yotli for them when they hi DO means of ascertaining whether he really did vote for them or their opponents. In connection with this subject of bribery I may say that there is as much, if not more, eorruption in the elections in Canada as there ever ‘was in New York in the worst days of the King ad- ministration. There 1s XO BALLOT BOX STUFFING Because voting 18 open, and comparatively littie | Personation except of dead and absent men, but | Votes are bougnt almost openly and without any effort at concealment. Under the guise of carriage hire to convey voters to the polls the backmen are oon large sums for their votes and influence, and it ts Considered a Smart thing, aud almost sure of gonning him bis election, for a candidate to bay up mai ny of the hackmen (by the way, they call | ‘Shem “carters” here) in his diviston as possibie, @peniy that they will not vote unless “paid Jor their time,” and the man who can for their time is the man they BY, most ink will make the best representative im Parliament. Sir Hugh Allan spent over $300,000 et the last election, and it is said be will spend $500,000 ou this one to defeat the present govern- ment. I neard @member of the liberal party—or party of purity, as they sometimes cail them- @elves—say a day or two ago that there was $1,000,000 ready to be spent if needed to secure the @lection of the liberal candidate for Montreai West ; nd @ conservative boasted in my presence that Bir Hugh Allan would deieat Mr. Bneviord “if it cost him a ship.” Apropos of Mr. Huntington, the “great re- former,” as he ts called by his admirers, ana who ‘was mainly instrumental in oringing about the Pacific scundal, is himself the subject of a scandal pt now, which stows that, however much he ight 1ngist On parity in others, he ts not over par- ‘cular in some Of his own transactions. Mr. Huntington has jor some time been known “on the street” a3 4 great financier in mining Btocke, and so great is his reputation as a Onancier Shat he was spoken of as linance Minister when ‘the liberal vir came into power. This reputa- tion was gained principally by the facility with Which be “floated” the shares of the Canadian Copper Pyrites and Chemical Company and toe Huntington Copper and Sulphur Company on the Aondon market. The sharehoiders of the jormer eompany have filed a bill im chancery againat bim @laiming some $#40,000, and allegidg that Mr. Muntington wusrepresented the value and re- Sources of the mines he offered, and that, while olessing 10 act as the agent and in the interest the English capitalists aod receiving £50,000 in up slares for such service, he Was also acting the agent of the sellers of the mines and re- @eiving # very large commission from them; ip ether words, he stovd in tie position of THAT CELEBRATED NEW YORK ENGINEER who received 4 salary from the Corporation to Watch contractors aud then took a considerauon those parties to leave them alove. Mr. Hunt "8 speculations have beeu of the colossal 3 the capital of the Canadian Copper Pyrites mical Company is $3,000,000, of which e- half is paid up, and the capital of the Copper and Suiphur Company is of Which about $800,000 is paid up. It is @laimed that Mr. Huntington represented that the mines could turn out 2,000 tons of #1x per cent ore ® month, and that they have never dove more than 00 tons, and are incapable of doing more. The price of shares has deteriorated terribiy; the ©anada Pyrites and Chemical stock, with £7 sterling Up, 18 only Worth £2 58., while the Huntington Copper and Sulppur Company stock, with £8 sterling paid up, is only worth £4 10s. Mr. Huntington contents himself with a genera! denial of the charge this morning, but admits that the ut ohanocery suit it have been imstituted, aituough | be uisciaims any knowledge of 1 REMARKABLE WEATHER, This is one of the worst winters Canada has ‘known tor years, The extremely warm weather Jew weeks ago carried away almost ail the snow ; ‘She lan’ i bare in many parts of the country and the \ambermen are sudering greatly for the want of snow tw tani their lumber, Im some parts of pnp farmers have been at work ploughing, a ing Dever kuown before in January.

Miler testified to having beard the noise om the floor above him before the fall against the door; also to Burke raising the cry of “murder,” asumilar cry being raised by him self, The next witness examined was Mrs. Ann Colligan, of No. 202 Broome street, but nothing essentially new was elicited, and sie was fol! wed by Jennie Burke, aged eleven, the daughter of Patrick Burke, who has figured 30 prominently in the case from the be- ginning. litte girl looked very innocent, but the utunost exertion {rom ex-Coroner Young could not shake her equanamity or distarb her testi- mony. When coaxed she Was just as quick as wher the question puzzied her, and she haa not “noticed? anything that was out of the usual order of testimony, She told the story just as it had been toid by her father and mother, except that she th % that when the frst noe r ed ber whe he the words, “Ob, Nicholas!’ trom a ie- male voice, In regard to the pointas to whether Mrs. Burke had pulled her daughter away from the window while the latter was talk- ing to Mrs. Colligan about the murder, witness pala that such was the fact. The next witness was Mrs Patrick Ryan, of No. 106 Twellth street, whose testimony was, at one time, belleved to be very important. She said-she heard Mrs, Barke say, “I Will never shield a murderer; they were here last night, but now they’re gone. Witness thonghe that Mrs. Burke meant the Leonards, Every effort was Inade (o find out irom this witness, aa Well as trom othera, whether or not there was any reason to conclude that Mrs. Burke meant the Leonards, but there was not; and the point was porege abandoned. Mrs. Johanna Kyan, & sister of the deceased, was next examined, and she corroborated the statement mide by Mrs. Ryap as to the testimony of Mrs, Burke in refer- ence tothe vague statement about the murderers, Some questions us to the amount of money carried generally by Nicholas Ryan during bis lietime were asked of witness, to witch she replied that Ryan generally varried a roll of bills. No other evidence of importance was gained irom her. ‘The police BOW took the stand, and one after another of those of them who had been in any way Impiicated tn the case, Went over the story so far us he was connected with it, The officers ex- amined were Captain Hedden, Sergeant Statz- berry, Officer Sheliard and Roundsmen faite and Smith, Officer Kearney, Ofiicer Reid and Detective Jonnson. ‘The pants, vest, a blood-staincd towel@and the two knives were again produced and exhibited to the jury. The officers explained the position of the pants on the chair when they reached the room, the vest iying under the pants. in regard to tuis vest, about which so much has been said, It ‘Was testified to by several of the officers that, im- mediately after the murder, on the searching of the stairs and the root o/ the building, the vest was hot to be seen. Subsequently, and very scon after Mary O’Brien had ascended to the roof, the vest was jound on the stairs leading to the senttie, The police, on exhibiting the pants and vest, showed the marks of blood that were on them, the theory urged seeming to be that, judging from tbe places in the reom on which the blood stains were Jullest, and from the State of the bed clothes on Nicholas Kyan’s bed, the pants and vest were on the personof Ryan between the thine of the girl’s death and bis own. Captain Hedden explained to the jury some 0! the discrepancies betwecn the statements of the wit- nesses and what they nad, douotiess, been inteuded to prove on the investigation. Ex-Ooroner Young at the conclusion of the testi- mony addressed the jury briefly, telling them that evidently there were two theories in regard to | this case, one involying 4 murder and suicide, the ) other a most dastal sister by some per: pected, are still no: ly murder of the brother and u3 Who, although perhaps sus sufficiently known to be con- ected with the case 4s to warrant arrest. There was not, although there seemed to be, a confics between the Coroners and the police in thts ci and the jury should judge jor themselves wi of the two classes of evidence they would accept. Mr. Young paid a high compliment wo the deceased, Nicholas kyan and his sister, both of whom he knew as very respectable persons. He did not believe that the theory advanced against the dead young man was the correct one, and, although the murderer might still be at large, the case continued in the hands of the poitce, and po eventually be established, ‘The jury chen retired, and alter being absent for | aconsideravie time returned with the folowing | verdict :. duet :— “We think that Nicholas and Mary Ryan came to m Lemorrhage from incised <, On the morning of December 22, 1873, at No, 204 Broome street; but how or in what manner the said wounds were inflicted we are unable from the testimony to determine.

The inquest over the body of Charies Neilson, the Swedish sailor, who was killed by bis tellow coun- tryman, Peter Swenson, at their boarding ou: No, 68 Columbia street, was held yesterday alter. noon. The jollowing testimony was elicited :— George 0. Peterson, of No. 68 Columbia street, a lighterman, was the first witness, who testiiled as foliows:—The deceased's name was Charles Neii- son; he had boarded with me since the 8th; on Tuesday night | came home about six o'clock; I and deceased and my brother had supper together ; after we had supper me and Charlie Neilson went down to Charlie O’Neii’s liquor store ana had two drinks of Whiskey; there Swenson came in; he treated once, aiter which we ail went to my house and played cards; me and Swenson were partners; my brother and Charue Neilson were partners; we won two gaines; tley won one game; we then went to OU’ Neii’s liquor store again; Il drank two glasses of whiskey and two glasses of beer; Neilson drauk four glasses of Whiskey; Swenson drank one whiskey and two gies; Peterson, three whiskies and | one ule; the three began talking avout who was the beat man in the ship; we then left the store, and went up to the place where they were living and eat something; Netison asked Swenson if he would go a8 shipmate with him, saying, “then I'll find out what kind of a man you are on board of @ ship;”” Swenson replied that he would not go as shipmate with tim; “If you want to And out what kind of aman! am step down in the yard; Contin: tie Testimony at the ; ‘are Inquest—The ‘Rolice’ to rob mr Tenca hiss who it wass is apiece Cota satreme tne Sayin woaies | Ht," eter Reni Bn on 3 be {ec shirt, coat and hat wife had them to bin; I dau was with him; be answered, “I Mave been with two men;" he then went up to the Jsoking: glass and cut off his whiskers ‘With uhe scissors ; said, “I don’t know whether THAT MAN 18 DEAD or not thatihas been fighting me; ‘he then went out (witness pointed out the prisoner ag the man who came to his honse) ; | went to bed again and slept until six o’clock, when two policemen and Peterson came and called me; Swenson told me cut him; he id the knife beionged to himsel(; he said it was Charlie Neilson he had cut; be was not drank, Coroner—After he had’told you all this why did you let him go?

The repeated admonitions given by the press to Sheril Carpenter, of Westchester county, in re- gard to the safe keeping of the notorious ‘masked burglars” now in jailat White Plains awaiting trial have by DO means been utimed. Indeed, it % mot improbable ‘that the strong desire evinced by & portion of the community to execute summary vengeance on the midnight robbers when they were first taken to New Rochelle proceeded from @ Knowledge of the insecurity of the jail, when its massive wails and bolts proved no obstacle to the escape of other desperadoes in times past. During Wednesday night “Dan” Kelly, who ts known be the leading spirit and “head centre’? of the gang of masked robbers, whose nocturnal depredations at New Rochelle, Catskill, on Long Island and elsewhere are aiready well known to the public, made a quiet though determined eflert to cut his way out of tne jail. Since the incarceration of Kelly and his com- panions in the — jail he has occupied @ celi on the second tier, and im the extreme southerly end of the jau, This cell is considered one o( the most secure in the structure, and, ior thia reason, has usuaily been occapied by MURDERERS AWAITING TRIAL, In it Buckhout spent nearly the entire two years of his confinement beiore being ultimately exe- cuted. It is diferent from most of tne’ other ceils in having two strong latticed doors, and is proportionately asrong Di other r ts. Yes terday morning when the usual time for allowing the prisoners the iiberty of the jail arrived, and while the task of cleaning up and making beds Was in process, Kelly might have been seen chat- ting unconcernedly with some of his com- panions in crime. Deputy Sherif Ford, meanwhile, as is custom, went through the curridors, giancing into each cell to see that all was right, That just temporarily vacated by Kelly was the tast he en- tered, and he there saw that the industrious occu- pant bad not been idie during the might, A LARGE HOLH had been made by Kelly in the front wall of his cell, the object evidently having been tu reach the boit which lasiened the inside door, whith he 1u- tended to shove back and thus reach she outer door. The débris, composed of broken stone and mortar, had = been carefully concealed iu the water closet of the cell. It must have required even more work for the burgiar to have cut through @ block of nite in order to reach the second door, but doubtless his ingenuity was adequate to the task had time in his case been wore propitious. ONCE OUT OF HI3 CELL s it 1s not doubted that the despezado would have succeeded in escaping. On the discovery of Kelly’s attempt to break jati being made he was quietly removed to anotier ceil, Where additional precautions wii! be observed as to his future operations, Although an at- tempt was made yesterday oy the Sheriff and his assistants to keep the whole affair secret the matter leaked out, apparently to their sur- prise and mortification, HORSE NOTES.

The County Jail in Jeopardy—Terror of) the Prisoners—Burning the Enipire Steree— Lom oa Buildings, $25,000; on Stock, $75,000-—Other Fires. ‘There were several fires in Brooklyn yesterday, and the firemen were kept busy in playing water upon burning buildings and displaying their ca- pacity to cope with the destroying element wher- ever and whenever their services were called into requisition, Fire in the Raymond Strect Jail. ‘The first alarm was sounded shortly after eleven @ciock in the forenoon, and the scene of action Proved to be the Oounty Jail, in Raymond street. time and hastened into the puilding, and, in company, with Keeper ‘Stineon, forced his way through the dense smoke tothe male wing, where the fre raged. Here the greatest consternation and excitement ¢xisted among the prisoners, occupants of the cells, wno cried and screamed for help, and begged to be re- leased from their places of confinement, fearing that an awful death was imminent. “On, keepers, let us out! for the Lord’s sake bring the keys— le¢ us out!” cried the terrified occupants of tne ceils. in the female department of the jail terror reigned, for a few minutes, supreme. Mrs, Knowles, it appears, had a few minutes previous been admitted within the gate tothe female corridor to see Mrs. Merrigan, the alleged murderess of Margaret Hammill. On the examination of Mra, Merrigan she testified against the latter, and sunsequently learned that the prisoner had expressed her anger towards her. Before entering the corridor she told the Keeper that she was afraid of Mrs, Merrigan. Thisremark excited feelings of anxiety in the minds of the keepers when they heard Mrs, Merrigan’s voice crying aloud, ‘Pot her out! Put her out!” ‘The dea appeared to be confirmed when they saw the alleged murdereas embracing Mrs. Knowles and kissing her. ‘The impression was that she was assaulting her, Investigation, however, proved that they were most ludicrously mistaken, as the un- fortunate prisoner was solely solicitous for the safety of her visitor, to whom she clung in affec- tion, while she called upon the keepers to “Put her out,” that she might be free from the tmpend- ing danger. It was found that the two small rooms, ome above the other, in- side the gate and adjoining the stone walls of the prison were in fames. Ascerta that the prisoners on the lower corridor were in no danger, the proceeded to the upper one. Firemen in the meantime had entered tue building and @ hose from No. 10 engine was stretched through the hallway. Keeper Stinson, Engineer Farley, and “stoker? McDougal, of truck No, 3, made their way across the burning rooms and Hberated the impertied occupants of the ad- joining cells. One of the pi lying prostrate overcome by the smoke. was con- veyed to the outer building, where he soon recovered, Ladders were placed about the butld- ing and a hole was broken in the roof directly over the fire, and the flames were soon under sabjec- tion, ‘rhe Sheriff, Aras G. Wiliams, is of the opinion that the fire proceeded from @ defective flue, Superheated steam is said to have set fre to tne woodwork in the rooms where the fire originated. Henry Schmidt, a prisoner, who occu- ied the room and is allowed the freedom of the hallway, Was locked up in a@ cell by order of the Fire Marshal, to await examination touching the cause of the fire, a8 he is suspected of having set fre to the place.

The incendiary clement, however, found its way to the wareliowe in the rear, No, 6, of the kmpire Stores, owned by Nesbit & Son, of South street, New York. This store, which fronts on the dock, is one of @ row of eight three- story buildings, which adjoin @ rowof new and more pretentious warehouses built upon the site which was burned over five or pix years ago. In the storehouse tacing the river was stored jute, hides, logwood, mahogany and other valuable merchandise, A strong northwest wind irom off the river lent iorce to the con@agration in prog- ress, and Fire Commissioner Fred. Massey, fearing tue demoiltion of ali the buildings in the course of the wind, caused @ second alarm to be rung, Tunis brought out all the remaining fire engines and the entire reserve of the western dis- trict police.

Nos. 7 and 8 01 the Empire Stores caught fre, and about hali-past four o’clock flames shot from out the slated roof, with a vengeance which threatened to gut the buildings through to the main street. A large force of laborers was sét to work at this juncture to save the goods stored in the buildings adjoining the burning ones, and @ space was cieared on the dock whercon to pile the bales of stuf ag they were’ taken out on wheel- barrows. There were many narrow escapes from fractured —_skulia, caused by the firemen at work on the roof, throwing down huge tiles, which fell in close proximity to the heads of the workmen. ‘Ihe water, however, was 80 judi- ciously dispensed under the direction of Chief En- gineer Nevins that by five o'clock tt became ap- parent that the flames were well in hand, and that the brave firemen were masters of the situation.
