Inner Canada Ministers have gone TO their consntu-

Tremendous efforts that have been maze 70 deieat

treachery of the very men VINO profess TO base their
onnos,tion 10 Mr. Hlncks on the ground THAI he may

to defeat the elections o the 1lne1 Sucn nc ,o,
sistency not TO say political viilainy was surely
never before exhibited certainly never aled 10 such
nrofessions of purity and fair play The very parties
who accuse MI Hinkse OF 10 make use them,
are avowe eddy trying to make use oil hlm for their
own ends and attempting In the most indecent man

agree with The Globe that the whole thing was DAT

support it-notbiDg is so despicaole as the sneakhg
policy that upholds one member OF Caone., un1eI
our system OF government, and seeks to sacrhce ns
colleagues While there is little or no whole souied
suppoft of the Government in Upper Canada, no
man suggests can suggest what better couIu DC
done. With such supporters the new Caoinet goes
to the elections, and If it is to be its fate TO en-
counter at every turn, cstrus. and tTelchery, iIs
career, will be anything but q smooth one.
The management OF our Provincial Lunalic Asylum
has thus been theme Of disparaglng comment ana
a circumstance was brOueht TO light yesterday INN
will incre the public scandal connected win TINS
institution One OF the trustees OF POtters flsio
happened TO be on that burial ground. when CONN
from the Asylum " as brought 10 be inferred IheIc
were no friends mourners foT it was the Dody OF
poor friendiess man. Seeing the black conn lay on
the ground, Mr. Whlttemore-for that is the
name OF the trustee-went up to 1t, and inquired
of the sexton what body 1t contained me
reply was that it was that Of man who cleo al
the Asylum, and whose name was Andrews
Mr. w lifted the coffin, and thinking 1t very lighS,
was struck with the idea that the body might nave
been "snatched." At his request the sexton OBJ
tanned a screwdrver and the coffin was opened
when 1t " as found to contain the trunk OF man
without head, and one arm and one thigh gone,
SUSPICION at once attached itself to the med
icai Superintendent Of the Asylum, Dr. scout,
as the party who had been making TOO Tree
With the dissectiDg knife. Inc circumstances
reached the ears of this funcnonary, VINO,
last night went to one of the Commissioners OF the
Atylum confessed that he had mutllated the body,
and promised to send the remaining portions for In
terment, if he would only hush up the matter Ioths
propos the Commissioners refused to listen. and no.
6ed the sexton not to inter the remaining portions
of the body. This morning, the undertaken went TO
the residence of the sexton, who having lett nome,
had instructed his wife not TO receive the remaining
portion OF the body sent. The undertaken, how
ever left the box containing them the sexton she'd
where they afterward inspected BY several per-
conduct OF the medical superintendent will In all
probability be rewarded with dismissal. He has a
dissectng room in the institution, IN which II Is ap-
pretended he has been mangling the remains OF the
patients u no have died for some time past
An interesting correspondence has taken place
between the Inspe ctOr e eneral and Nh Cou-
chon, to whom the former offered the situa-
ton of Assistant Secretary for Upper Canada -
Ms. Couchon refused to accept, because he had
no confidence in the Government, for these rea-
sons FIRST that Socialism of the worst kind has
been admitted into the Government secondly, be-
cause an Office had been assigned to Mr.. Cameron
which he had previously desired to abolish and,
thirdly. because the French Canadian influence in
the Government was insufficient Mr. hindes re-
plies al great length and with much ability. He re-
pels the charge of oducinR Socialism into The Gov
eminent shows that the Office 10 which Mr.. Cameron
objected has been abolished as political office and
that the French Canadians have just as many officers
In the present as they had in the late Government
He shows very clearly that he IS not prepared to
submit to any practical French Canadian ascen-
dency. L. c.
