a serious politi* cal crisis.Perhaps we are.But the IFif-nr.ts does not seem to have been able to direct us to the cause, which is to create the great upheaval.It cites the Beauport Asylum as the principal actor in the game.Now, as a matter of fact, as everybody knows, the contract between the Local Government and the proprietors of that institution, has almost expired, and either a renewal, or a complete change is imminent.The Government, ai far as we can see, is desirous of taking the management of God\u2019s most unfortunate creatures in its own hands.The Nuns have intervened, and wish to become the proprietors of Beauport Asylum, and place it on the footing which obtains at Longue Pointe.But before the good Sisters can come into possession, an arrangement must be made with the existing proprietors, whose financial interest is very groat, and not only theirs, but that also of many monetary institutions, and local capitalists, who have lent their money to the institution, The Government, since 1845, when the Beauport Asylum was first erected, has, practically, controlled all expenditure made upon it.As improvements were demanded, the owners, acquiescing in the request, performed them.From small beginnings, the estate has grown, until 'to-day, it is quite a valuable .property.The Govern*-ment, according to its arrangement^ has the power to take possession, whenever so minded.The value of the property to bo taken over rests with the Board of Arbitrators, whose decision places before the Government the finding of the body, which consists of at least three ar bitratorj, two representing each separate interest, and the third man to be called in by the other two.The Board has met and an award has been made, so the exact value of the property has been arrived at.With that, however, we have nothing to do.Those who have gone over the grounds, and the institution, know that the asylum and its surroundings are in good order and condition.Our own reporter, not long ago, in company with Mesm.An drew Thomson, of the Union Bank, and B.B.Dobell, merchant, paiA a haphazard visit to the various wards, and insisted everything about the premises without finding anything to find fault with Indeed, there was, on the contrary, much to praise.To us, of course, it can matter very little, who controls or manages the institution, if it is to bo managed outside of Govorn-raqnt control.Our own views have been repeatedly stated in this journal.We object, and always have objected, to what is known as the farming out system.The present managers get 8132 per head, on all lunatics sent to them.The nuns may take these unfortunates at the same figures, or perhaps, less.But the iniquitous system prevails, and it is the system we wish to get rid of, more than anything else.In Ontario, in the Maritime Provinces, m all the chief cities of the United States, as wo have, time and again, pointed out, tlfe farming out plan has been abandoned.The Government in those parts has assumed the entire control, and paid the expenses as they occurred.Indeed, the asylums are run on just the same principles as the jail», houses of correction and peni tentiaries.The lunatics are, practically, wards of the State.We do not object to nuns as managers, succeeding the present proprietors, though the latter have done very well, but they should be subject to the Government\u2019s orders and control.If the nuns are not in a position to buy the Asylum, as it TRUE BILLS AGAINST THE SMUGGLERS.THE MON TMOR ENCI CASE.M U HD Eli BELANGER\u2019S TRIAL COMMENCED.Th© Mercier Pacaud Case Fixed for Thursday.After the virtual waste of two or three days in legal arguments as to the composition of the Grand Jury, Ac., the Criminal Court settled down yesterday to the first trial of the term, that of the Montmorenci murder case.Meanwhile, however, a good deal of work has been got through with iu the Grand Jury room, and there have been several pleadings in Court, and a number of cases have been fixed for trial, thongh it is doubtful how far the Court can keep some of the engagements it has made.Cases have been fixed for instance for nearly every day of next week, though it now appears certain that several days will be occupied with the hearing of the murder case, as there are some seventy-two witnesses to be heard, and only six were examined yesterday.In the alleged conspiracy cose of Messrs.Mercier and Pacaud, arising out of the Baie des Chaleurs affair, the Court has disposed of all the objections made by the defence to the Grand Jury and its finding, and both defendants have pleaded \u201cNot Guilty\u2019\u2019 and have had their trials fixed for Thursday next.In accordance too with a judgment of Judge Chauveau, an indictment has been laid against Hon.Chas.Langelier for alleged malfeasance of office in connection with the Hereford Railway affair, but the report was current last night that it had been thrown out by the Gland Jury, who are said to be prepared with \u201cNo Bills\u201d both in this and in other similar cases.It is not yet known who will preside in Court at tho trial of Messrs.Mercier and Pacaud, the statement being freely made that the Hon.Mr.Justice Blanchet will ask to be relieved of tho task, because he was formerly Mr.Mercier\u2019s opponent in the Legislature.Judge Boesl- was not present in Court yesterday, and J udge Blanchet presided alone.The Grand Jury presented tiue bills against Bouchard and Landry, the smugglers, on three different charges.Mr.Perreault asked that the accusation against Bouchard be allowed to stand till today, as his client had not yot arrived.This was granted by the Court.Edmond Belanger was then called to the bar and placed on trial for his life on the charge of having killed Cleophas Beaudoin at Montmorenci on theeveningof .Saturday, tho 30th April last.A large number of witnesses were called and answered to their names.Messrs.F.X.Lemieux ami Choa.Fitzpatrick appeared for tüe defence.The fol lowing Petty Jury was thenem- Ïaiiclled to try the case :\u2014.James Connolly, .Lemieux, Etienne Roberge, Francis Patton, O.Roberge, Jean Lafiamme, Thos.Murphy, Jean Boivin, Moise Picard, fils, Thomas Brown, T.H.Hoare, L.E.Paquet.Mr.Dunbar, Q.C., in English, explained the case to the jury, and Mr.Languedoc followed in French.It will be remembered that the murdered man and his brother Charles and the prisoner Belanger, were in St.Kochs together on the day of the murder and took several drinks together, subsequently quarrelling and fighting on Bridge street, again on the cars, going home to Montmorenci, and then on the railway track at Montmorenci station, where all disembarked and where the deceased was stabbed and died a few hours afterwards.accepted my brother\u2019s challenge 1 would not have interfered.Mr.Lemieux\u2014Ido not think it was very fair on your part to throw him down ami kick him iu the face.Witness -It was not fair of him to strike me where he did.Mr.Lemieux- On tho contrary, nothing could be fairer.('Laughter).Witness\u2014I and not my brother told Be langer that T would meet him at the Falls My brother said to mo that we would catch him there.In the oars my brother held him by the face, and I wished to strike him, but did not do so.The meetings took place thus !\u2014The first on Bridge street, the second In the cars, the third at tho time tho fatal blow was struck.Mr.Lemieux\u2014Is it not true that that even ing you chased prisoner with a club ?Witness\u2014No.C».-1>iJn\u2019t you follow him after your row with him ?A.\u2014Yes, he reviled and provoked me.Q.\u2014Ho called vou out?A.\u2014Y es.Q.\u2014Politely ?A.\u2014He insulted me ami called me a son of a Q.\u2014And yoti could not resist so polite «In invitation ?You ran after him ?A.\u2014I tried to but my my wife stopped me, The Court then adjourned till 2 o'clock, when witness continued his deposition follows : Do not know if my brother spoke to Belanger when I struck him.If he had snokou to him loud I would have heard him.When I threw Belanger down at the Falls I was Seized from behind and also thrown down.When he got ilp we fought.Ho had nothing in his hands then, i did not Sec any knife on the ground.We exchanged about twenty blows.I ran to the spot where my brother was struck, to see him fight with the prisoner.Was quite sensible at the time Had a few drinks in me but was not at all affected.In the cars hud no intention of attacking Belanger.We Mere half-way on our journey when I struck my brother on the hand, trying to got at prisoner My brother threu' Belanger down easily on Bridge street.Believe ho wbdy till the i>o*t mortem examination the day after the murder.Charles Beaudoin, who lives in Beauport, was next examined.Knows prisoner.He is deceased\u2019s brother.He remembered the date of the mur 1er.On that day he came to Quebec by railway.They walked up St.Joseph street.At about three o\u2019clock they went in to Messrs.Hourré\u2019s and Paquets stores and deceased had parcels from Paq act\u2019s.They went to Belanger's.They went to take a glass at a hotel and then went to Roy\u2019s.Whilst deceased was talking with another man, the prisoner Bélanger came up to witness and said that they were boasting they conld beat him.Witness answered that that was his business.Prisoner told him to shut up, slapped him M illi his open hand, and threw down his hat and pipe.Deceased threw prisoner down, and witness struck him.Deceased oske -* *ajuuh', J*»»' x)ranen,
