The time is out of joint with a vengeance, and it is uot wurprising thai the feeling of anxiety and discomfort should be as widespread und general 84 it is.When some eighteon months po the Hon.Mr.Letellier dismissed the DeBouoherville Cabinet, assigning ns one of his principal reasons for doin 0, that they wore ruled acourding to their rois Mmission by u railwa, ring, people, sv 10 speak, drow n long breath and fulo av it were the relief which every one «does who hus just vavuped à very ecrious danger.The result of the elections showed clearly what the opinion of the people was.Three out of five Ministers in the Le ginlutive Assembly lost their weats, nnd Ruing to the country with a majority of more than one.thind of the House, the Conservative party found them- wolves in an avtusl minority when the new Legislatare was \u2018again called to- gother, Nor can this ehange in the populay feeling be attributed 10 8 momentary impulse, such as-tho protection oraze, for instance, which carricd Ontuiro in\u2019 September lust, and met with sv crushing a disclaimer in the following March, Every election held since the first calling together of the present Legislature bas resulted in a triumph fur the Ministry, showing the growing aold which the present Cabinel las on the confidonce of the people.But, if the railway ring mut with a marked rebaff and a serious check, it was tot va that account broken up, noi even imateriaily weakened or disheurtened.Very tow of the prominent figures in the combination had disappeared, and, above ali, their chief though close run, and at onu time in serious trouble was found to be still to the tore.The consequence wus u grand moeting held in Montres), and the naming of Mr.Chaploau as loader of the Oppo sition.Everyone knows the frantic efforts which have since been made tv reguin the control of the public purse .Lust summer il was impossible to attemp4 tbe game which iv now being played, because Mr.Lotellier hold the place of Lieutonant Goveruor.It, therefore, became uvevessary, as u first step, at any oost, to got rid of him, sud now the unormous efforts, upparenuy so disproportionate to the resuit looked for, arv easily enoagh explained.Le dismissal of the Lieutenant Governor was only a step, though the first and most necessary step, in a deliberately planned vonspiracy be- tweun Lhe luaders of the Federal Min: istry and the Quebso Opposition to bring buck in thes Province the rule of the railway ring.Having secured the dismissal of tion, Mr.Letolier, the ruiiway ring proceeded by every means in its power to try and secure a majority in the House of Assembly.Not only wore individual members appromuhed, tat attempts were made to tamper even with the Ministers, Each new vote of censure against the Government was only a test uf huw some new engine of intimidation or corruption might be found to work.% * * = To this duy thore sit on the Opposition borohos, und vote stewiily to the nod of Nr.Chupieuu, two members who were returned ngaiust out-andiouy supporters of the De Bouchervilie Cabinet, on adistinet promise Lo givo a fuir trial to the Joly Mistry.Those mon were ascured at the culo.brated assemblage whieh osst defiunce in the face of ali lovers of vounomy and honest Government by naming as their fonder the member for Torrebonne.The plota aud tricks, the false amd malicious scousstiony and gross standors, the offcrs of office, and other modes of corruption so frualy used iu the House of Assembly, baving tailed to shake the strength vf the Guvernmeut in the Lower House, n last re sort and a very dosperuts one re- mained-to stop the supplies in the Counuil.That has now been dene, by the advice aad under the direction of Mr.Chapleau.If auy one bus doubt ss tv what band in pulling the string to make the antiquated puppets ropused by the Hon.Mr.floss.A Periaat will suffioo to show from whom they emansted, the Hon.Messrs.Ross and LeBoucherville are only the moutb-pieces.Does anyone tool any curiosity to know who most was to be sold ata franc py, was lefi on hia bands, * to this stroke, if'i Spe Brod uy she suka Fs inter JO dance, lot bim read the resoluuions | sat \u2018will bo'fousid' fu: the enger \u2018presence on the scene of Messrs!
