A Gloomy Situation.

A Gloomy Situation.
Victoria, April A-The state of
public feeling is daily becoming more
unsettled as the LIST of May draws nigh.
The situation is alarming, as it threat
ems the permanency of Canadian con-
nection on the Pacific, if it does not
imperil British connection. This after
noon, on motion of member who has
been always distinguished for his 10y
atty, the doors of the house of parlia-
ment were cleared, and the body is now
sitting with closed doors. What the re-
suit of the uncertainty will be can be
only conjectured, but the best friends
of Canada in the province are despond-
ent.

HoUsE-AFTERNooN SESSION.
Washington, April 24,-The house
having under consideration the legisla-
tive appropriation bill, Scales and Davis
IN. C.) supported the democratic posi-
ton on repeal.
Answering Burrows, Davis said that
slavery would not be re-established
until the republican party found it to
its interest to establish it. But then
the south would stand up and say:
"This is one of the things you cannot
do.n
Gillette said there was no pressing
necessity for these amendments, and he
would therefore vote to strike out, but
il RETAINED, he would vote for the pas
sage of the bill. Alluding to Louis
lana, he said he thought hell must be
better governed, judging from what he
had heard them state. Before saying
the Chinese must go, he would say to
every law on the statute book which op-
pressed the laboring classes, that it must
60; the national banks must go; the ma
tional bonds must go; the land monop-
olists must go; the mountain of idle
money in the treasury must 60 into the
channels of business.
De La Matyr spoke in the same vein.
Down with the puerile cry of revolu-
tion raised by those who had been cow
ards on one side or cormorants on the
other. He had no language to utter his
supreme contempt for it.
Joyce said: In this debate he had
heard men who had been disloyal to
the country, prate about the constitu-
ton and free elections, while the out
RACES against the ballot were gross and
unchecked in the south. Men of the.
north should resent the insult and bid
defiance to treason and modified rebel
lion. The northern people had no fur
ther concessions to make.
O'Neill denied that a single demo-
crat had been deprived of the right to
vote in Philadelphia.
u"AA eohCu why buCu tOO ucpuIy
marshals had been brought into Phila-
delphia, when no violence was threat
ened.
After some further colloquy on this
point, De La Matyr again took the
floor, and charged that legislation since
the war was in the interest of wealth,
and that the poor people had been op-
pressed very near beyond endurance.
Hazelton rep roved the greenback
representative for his apparent readi-
ness to stab the credit of the country.
One of them (Gillette) had told the
house the country was going to the
dogs. because two heifers in Iowa were
sold for ten dollars. That only showed
what was needed. 1t was not the issue
OF more greenbacks, but of less heifers.
(laughter). He then argued in favor of
the constitutional right to use the army
II necessary at the polls. He reverted
to the evidence of the frauds and MUIR
ders In the New York and South Caro-
lima elections.
Deuster denounced the action of
Davenport In New York.
Bragg SAID the republicans had failed
to excite public feeling against the
south, and was trying to stiffen the
presidential backbone.

The Story Diseredited.

Washington, April 24.-The interior
department entirely discredits the story
OF Saluskin, the Indian prisoner rela-
tive to the alleged treachery of Moses
last summer. The department has the
amplest evidence from civil and mill
tary officers, of the incorrectness of the
statement. The department thinks
there is desire on the part Of certain
whites Of northeastern Oregon and
the northern part of Washington terri
tory, to provoke hostilities, in order to
lead to the expenditure of money by
The government, in that vicinity.

FRANCE.
Terms of Pardon.

Paris, April 24.-By the amnesty law
all who are pardoned within three
months, are ipso facto amnestied, 1t is
certain that Blanqui will not.be par
doned prior to the Sd of June, and if
pardoned after that date, he will re-
main ineligible as candidate for the
chamber of deputies, as an ordinary
pardon does not efface civil disabili-
ties.

Chicago, April 24.-Mark Gray, who
attempted to shoot Edwin Booth
last night, was before Justice Summer
field this morning on the charge of
attempt to kill. After Identification
and brief recital of the facts by Mr..
Booth, Gray pleaded guilty. The mag

charge was not murder, whereupon
Gray remarked, II wish it was" Bail
was at first fixed at $40, 1000, but as Mr..
Booth represented that he had been

CHICAGO. April %.

ing letter:
CHICAGO, April %.
DEAR KATIE-Forgive these brief,
but horrible lines; left st. Louis Mon
day evening; the firm 1 was with would
not increase my salary, so made up
my mind to return TO Keokuk, but
being lover of fine acting, came to
Chicago to see Booth, but was sadly
mistaken; it would take Booth one year
of constant acting to compete with
Lawrence Barrett's "Richelieu." To-
night he plays Richard Ill. Katie, if
1 go tonight he will kill me or l him.
In all Shakespeare's (sic) works I find
but one man to compete with Booth,
and that is Iago. My judgment ought
to foretell me that since call Booth
Iago, he could no more play Richelieu
than the devil could be an angel. l
don't know what to do. Every line /
write prance the floor as though l
was playing Hamlet. 1 am sorry 1
came here, for l think the hangman
Los q iopO ioi iiC. lsShiOhiboi ihC W
your mother and sister.
Yours truly,
MARK GRAY"
Opinions differ as to his sanity, but
1t is more generally believed that he is
crazy. His story is that he belongs in
Keokuk, but has been travelling for a
st. Louis dry goods house; that about
three years ago Booth wronged friend
of his whether lady or gentleman he
does not state), and that becoming cog
infant of the wrong about two and a
half years ago, he determined to avenge
1t. He has only met Booth but once
since that time, and then it was on the
streets of st. Louis, but he was not
prepared. He says he has accomplices
back of him, and that Booth will yet
suffer. He came here for the express
purpose of killing Booth. Mr.. Booth
says tonight that he never heard Of
this man.
He fred two shots, snapped his pistol
again, and was cooking it for the fourth
trial when he was seized.
