The English are excited over a scandal which
follows the Duke of Edinburgl's visit to Aus
traha. The loyal colonists, so to speak, stood
on their heads with delight when the Prince
arrived. The Government of Victoria spent
10000 to entertain him; ladies mOrtgaged
their pianos TO go to the royal ball and when
the lad went down into the mines there were
little Jumps of gold, one worth $4,000,
another worth $500, ready pudded ex-
pressly for him to pick up and carry
home. When his ship sailed away it was loaded
With valuable presents. Of course the Duke
felt like making presents in return, but al
though he has an allowance of $4,000 a year
he has since asked Parliament to reimburse
what he spent for the indulgence of his princely
munifcence, and Parliament has done so,
although not little disgusted with
the transaction. The Indignation of
the colonists, however is unrestrained
The royal presents are discussed with the
utmost freedom, and at least one respectable
legislator has limited that since the British

Mr.. John Quincy Adams son of his father,
grandson of his grandfather, and the small
grandson of his great grandfather, has never
theless the wisdom to perceive that what the
Democratic patty in Massachusetts, as well
as throughout the country, needs is an
act OF oblivion. lie wants the record of
the party shaken Off wants it understood
that Reconstruction and Negro Suffrage are
definitely settled; wants to fight the approach
ing battle in Massachusetts, on financial ques-
tions and the Liquor Law; and altogether
shows how admirably he could get along
if people would only remember and forget

CANAL IND RAILROAD COMPETITION
There is lively discussion in the Western
part of this State on canal tolls, the latest
phase of which appears in correspondence be-
tween Auditor Bell and large forwarding
house i'm Buffalo. The house anticipate large
loss to the canals on coal frcights unless the
tolls are reduced, the great railroads being the
competing party; and they ask Mr.. Bell to use
his influence with the Canal Board TO get the
desired reduction. They say that this year they
get only 81 per tun over tolls while last year
they had II A. to - 40; and besides the trade
is now nearly Ono-haf less in tuns. They add
that 100000 bushels of grain have been shipped
for New York by rail within few days, show
inc that the roads are successfully competing
with the canal in heavy freight The railroad
rates are so low that boats cannot pay ex-
penses at their figures. The boats of the COM
pany are, consequently, idle.
Auditor Bell replies that the coal business
will not generally be done by the canal at any
rate of toll. lie suggests that commission mer-
chants and insurance companies might reduce
their charges on canal business, and so relieve
forwarders TO Il large extent. He does not be-
lieve that reduction on tolls would afford
any substantial relief in the competition with
the railroads, as the latter arc now seeking
business without regard to profits. The boat
men will tie up rather than run nc a loss; the
roads will run ut any loss rather than tie up

and business men suffer in the same
way. We know one lot Of freight
