Governor General Of Canada, the transcript re-
marks:
aTbe appointment Of Earl Cathcart TO The 60

inlimalion Of difficulties at home, which may

been reported that the Hunters Lodges" were
about being organized in Canada. These sources
Of domestic trouble, and not the fear OF foreign
difficulties, may have aroused the Governmental
energetic measures:
at appears that those who have been so long
sowing sedilion throughout the press, have had
some success in a part OF The city. We are not

CATION. The fact of resistance 10 the law and
contempt of la wlul authority is certain. The in
stigators of the crime, in this instance, may pro-
