The Canadian Parliament, somewhat
ashamed of its recent action regarding the
refusal of the promised amnesty to Rel
has found itself compelled to yield some,
what to its promise made to the Catholic
element. Notice was given last week that
the following resolution would be intro.
duced THAT the evidence laid before the
House by the committee appointed to in.
quire into the cause of the troubles 10 the
Northwest in 1869 and 1870, is sufficient
to establish that it would be just and ex-
pedient, and for the advantage Of the Pro-
vince Of Manitoba that an amnesty should
be granted to the persons concerned in the
disturbances which occurred in that prov.
ince in the winter of lS69-70, and that an
humble address represented to Her Majesty
the Queen, praying that she will be gra-
ciously pleased to order that a general
amnesty be granted to all persons charged
with ofienses committed during and in con-
nection with the said disturbances"

The inhabitants of Northern Dakota,
or rather few men who desire comfortable
official positions, as Governor, Secretary,
Attorney General, etc, are clamorous for a
new Territorial organization, to which they
have already given the musical cognomen
Of Pembina Territory, and the Hon. NJ. X.
Armstrong, the delegate from Dakota, has
introduced bill in Congress for the pro-
motion of the enterprise All the inhat-
itants, including the native Indians, scarce
number seven thousand, and the cost to
government of the Inauguration and keep
ing up OF Territorial organization for these
few people is, at the least calculation, $751;
600 per annum But as New Mexico is to
become State, with no more legal right
thereto, Pembina Territory will probably
soon exist as separate government, when,
for ten years at least, it should remain as
now, a portion of Dakota.

All accounts agree that Secretary
Bristow has inaugurated work in the Treas.
ury Department in admirable style. He is
cleaning out the Rings wherever he finds
any smell Of them. lie is examining what.
ever he signs, aud not signing as a matter
of routine. He is cutting of the useless
APPENDICES and clerks around the +" bu-
reaus." lie is striking at oil the sources
Of unpleasant odors, The tone of the De-

the better, aud the impression prevails that
not only is there new broom around
but that il isn't going to wear out very
soon, and will sweep clean for some time to
come.

The United States Brewers Associa.
ton met at Horticultural Hall in Boston,
on wednesday of last week, and was wei.
coined by Frank Jones, of Portsmouth,

Speeches on various topics connected with
the business were made, mostly in opposi.

From one of the addresses we learn that
nearly nine million barrels Of malt LIQUORS
were brewed and sold between June 80
1872, and June 80, 1878.

MEMORIAL ADDRESS. When Mr.. Cur.
tbs concluded his wonderful grafton on Sum.
ner, on Tuesday of last week, at Music
Hall, Boston, the vast audience cheered
as though they would give him an encore.
There may have been more palmy days of
oratory in our country, but we fancy that
Mr.. Curtis's effort will bear comparison
with any similar GRAFTON on record. We
devote large space to its publication this
week, and trust no one will pass it over, or
the splendid poem Of Whittier.

The news which the cable brings Of
the diminution of the distress caused by the
Bengal famine is highly gratifying. AL.
though the danger is not wholly past, yet
there can be little doubt that the worst is
over, and that cases Of death from starva-
ton will be few and far between. Great
credit is due to the Disracli government for
the manner in which it has grappled with
this evil, aud the Marquis Of Salisbury and
Lord Northbrook are especially entitled to
eommendation.

Six out Of ten members of the Indian
Peace Commission have handed in their
designations. This step was taken on ac.
count Of a malicious effort to break d wn
the Commission. The letter of resignation
was prepared and handed in without con.
sultation with the Department, and while
an investigation Of the charges was pend
ing in Congress. The report upon the case
is said to be highly favorable and honor
able to the Commissioners. The President
will fill the vacancies, so far as is necessary
to maintain the efficiency of the Board, by
new appointments. As these gentlemen re-
ceiye no compensation for their services, it
Is possible they thought the work of the
Peace Commission should be passed round,
aud so withdrew from The Board to make
room for some other benevolently disposed
persons.

luxuriaut and succulont, and grain is making
astonishing Roadway. Nothing but an ex-

some totally unexpected calamity can now
intervene to bring The hopes Of the glad.

Litter exeusiug his absence, said " In

TEN second, that we did not err in de.

cipatiou as the right Of the slave and the
duty Of the master third, that we did not
overstate the guilt Of the nation, nor call
too loudly for repentance; further, that
none Of the predictions Of our opponents as

turning the slaves loose have proved true"
