Washington special says: There
seems to be u revolt against the
conduct of the Senate Committee
on Privileges and Elections in ref.
ereDce to the premature publica-
lion of the Chinese treaties. Some
OF the Senators have thus far failed
to obey the sum mons of the Com.
mittee to appear before them for
the purpose OF making answers to
O series of questions which were re.
Gently published in the Times. At
the executive session Wednesday,
Mr.. Salisbury called attention to
the refusal of the Senators to re-
spond to the invitation of the Com
mittee, and proceeded 10 lecture
delinQueuts for their failure to
manifest Il proper appreciation of
the outraged dignity of the Senate.
salisbury appealed to the Senators
to assist his Committee In mniu-
tanning the dignity of that body,
but was forced to admit, from the
apparent indifference with which
the remarks we're received, that
the investigation had been
very discouraging. 1t Is ev.
ideDt that II large number
OF Senators are heartily ashamed
of this entire business, and that
they are determined not to permit
salisbury and his colleagues on the
Com miitee Of Elections to expose
them to ths ridlcule which IL sure
to attend this proceeding should 1t
be continued TO that point where
tue doings OF the Committee will
be made public. 1t is not likely
now that the newspaper cores.
pondents, who obtained the treat
les, will be called upon to tell where
they obtained them. 1t IL u pity
that the investigation should be
discontinu Just ut point where
it would interest the public, VI not
the Senate. Salisbury can reach
several gentlemen with the Com.
mittee summons who can answer
most of the questions of his cat.

OTTAWA. Feb. 1.-THE fact IL
we'll recognized that the exodus to
the Western States has been very
large. Indications promise large
emigration this summer. The
Montreal Post says: Let our pur.
blind politicians open their eyes
and see the truth. Emigration will
continue, and nothing can prevent
it until we cease to be Crown
COLONY, and until we have the sole
management of our own affairs,
foreip as we'll as domestic.
