Much to the general surprise, Gov.
General Duflern, has prorogued Instead Of
dissolying the Dominion Parliament ln
the vacation, elections will be held to Gil
the seats Of the members of parliament
called to the cabinet The probable reason
which led Lord DuiIerin to prorogue instead
Of dissolving was an unwillingness to see
such an overwhelming liberal parliament
returned, as the people would be likely to
elect in the present reaction against the
tory's ministry. On the whole, it must be
said that for a free country the Governor
Gen. treats the Dominion Parliament rather
cavalicrly, quite after the Louis Fourteenth
style in fact. When the proposed to inves
tigate the ministerial scandal, he sent them
about their business by q summary proro.
CATION, in spite OF their indignant protests
and now, when dissolution was generally
looked for and demanded by the public, he
puts it of with prorogation. The dis
coyery that the ex-promier Macdonald
took advantage Of his last hours Of powel
to make several important appointments
some Of them permanent will deprive the
disgraced minister Of whatever sympathy
might otherwise have followed him. Suol
an act is everywhere considered as a breach
Of official good Gath and a piece Ct yorl
sharp practice.

The newspapers of Kansas that started out

c,me to grief when they read his statement
about the Independence Land Office bargain,

blush for York when he reads it, and fear
that 81. John, who is only saint in name,

SENATOR WINTER.

Of late the Leavenwor,h Commercial and
Topeka Commonwealth have been very pro-
fuse in their attacks upon Senator Jacob
Winter of this County. The former paper
goes out Of Its way to mslign Mr.. Winter,
because that Senator himself believed that
S. C. Pomeroy was a better man than Dr..
Logan, and therefore cas-. his vote for Mr..
Pomeroy. 1t is remarkably singular indeed
that the Commercial should be SO Jealous in
its denunciation Of Senator Winter who is a
s.aunch Republican, and We, so meek and
mild towards Democratic members who pur-
sued precisely the same course that Mr.. Win
ter did. In the same breath, too, tina, the
Commercial denounces Mr. Pomeroy for cor
ruption on the sworn testimony Of one man,
it exalts Senator Caldwell, who is notorious
ly corrupt according to the testimony of
twenty men.
The cause ofthe Co,antonuea h's opposition
can be traced to the fact that Mr.. Winter
cast his vote for Geo. w. Martin. in the
Joint Convention that elected State Prin-

NE RISE TO EXPLAIN,

The 81. Louis Democira recently pub.
lished the testimony Of James F. Legate
before the Caldwell Committee, and supple
mented it with the following of.-hand OBJ
servation:
SIT Is very ugly testimony to be given
against the Mayor OF Leaverworth. 1t was
related by Mr.. James F. Legate before the
Caldwell investigation on Saturday. Mr..
Anthony il the editor and proprietor OF a
newspaper at Leavenworth, and we hope he
will explain"
Perhaps there have been intervals in
Legate's indolent existence when he has
told the truth inadvertently. but We can
assure the editor of the Damocrd', who de-
sires US to ''rise and EXPLAIN" that Legate
never told the truth when lie was under oath
on witness stand, ard in his right mind.
1t is part of Legate's trade to swear to
falsehoods upon all manner CT occasions,
when falee swearing is paid FOR. and he un-
derstands his business too we'll to ever allow
the truth to escape FROM him. If, indeed, the
truth ever had any desire 70 escape from
such source.
So far As our course towards Caldwell is
concerned, We can frankly say that We op-
posed his election to the III ed S a.es Sen
ate, and told the people .. Kansas that his
election to that position would be public
calamity. We never received dollar Of
CaldwelPs money, neither did we ever try
to obtain a dollar from him or any of his
supporters. We never received dollar
from any man who was ever candidate for
the United S.atesSenate fromKansas, and We
were never promised dollar by any candi-
date for that or my other position.
Since the Deaocrat nas been good enough
to give Legates statement publicity, We trust
Il will likewise publish OUTS, and at the
same time be careful 10 insert that Lesate
made his statement under oath.

Cai0 we'll In q FIX.

Senator Caldwe.Ps statement was partly
tested by his bank books to-day, and found
to be sadly at variance with them in very
important matters. His counsel, too Judge
Crozier), got into an exceedingly awkward
fix before the committee. Before Caldwell
came in. Senator Morton asked Crczier
whether Caldwell desired to make oath to
his statement. Croker replied that he had
not thought Of the matter at all, and had
not consulted Caldwell. He had hardly
finished his answer when the latter entered,
and Morton az Ell him the same question,
and before Crozier could stop him, he had
replied that after full consultation with Judge
Crozier, the latter had advised him no. to
swear to the statement. Sidney Clarke aske,I
leave 10 file written statement, but The
committee decided that he could not act SO :,
witness and prosecutor, and declined to grant
the request. Mr.. Morton then declared the
investigation closed.-Ciacinndt Gc=ctte.

A llearGbr0ken Hermit In the wiias
Of MtnnesOta-Freak OF . New York
Clerk.
The Duluth MINI. Herald gives a ro-
mantle account OF the finding in the pine
forests on Cioynet river, two weeks ago, oi a
young man, formerly clerk in Broadway
jeSelry store. 1t appears that party Of ex-
plorers, while at supper, heard a melodious
voice singing, No one to love, none to
caress."
For few moments they we're at a loss to
discover from whence the melody came, but
on peering through . thicket which lay to
the north of them, they discovered young
man, apparently about five and twenty years
old, approaching. The tall, slender and
rather good looking fellow wore M.ckiDac
coat, fur cap and German socks and mecca
sins. On coming up to them he passed tie
compliments OF the evening, and was about
10 pas., when the explorer asked him il he
would not stop and take cup of coffee. At
being urged, he finally consented to accept.
This singular recluse, on being pressed tor
reason for his strange mode of life, stated

two years ago made the acquaintance of a

that firm, and produced It's books. An at
tachment for contempt was ordered to be
issued against ]. NJ. Adams, member of the
Kansas Legislature, for his refusal to appear

Caldwell had suggested to him that he would
verify his statement on oath. Mr.. Caldwell
replied, after consulting q legal aviser, that
he had concluded to submit his statement on
his word of honor as a Senator. Senator
Morton announced that the investigation bad
