has engrossed the attention Of the members Of
the Legislature to-day to almost The entire ex-
clusion Of Other matters. The result has been
received with the greatest enthusiasm BY the
Republicans here. The telegraph and newspa-
per Offices were throngei last evening by an
eager and excited crowd Of news-mongeys and
as dispatches were received Of favorable innort
to the Republicans, the few Democrats who
were present erept away one by one, to seek

The Canadian Parliament, at its last session,
reduced the salary oc the Governor-General
from elo.00O TO $4,000 year. with an official
residence and liberal allowance for household
expenses. Like all other acts Of Colonial Par
Eaments, this one had to be ratified by the
British Colonial Secretary before it could take
effect, and, as the Goyernor-General is an ap-
pontee OF the Secretary, the latter naturally re-
fused his assen; to the reduction in question
