Sympathy for Riel in Manitoba.

Winnipeg Special: Over a thousand SYM
pathizers with Riel, embracing half-breeds
and French Canadians for twenty eight
miles around held a mass meeting at st.
Bonniface to work up sympathy for Riel,
whose chances OF escape seem to be lessen
ing so rapidly. The principal object is to
work up feeling and secure d respite until
an appeal is argued before the privy coun
Gil. Speeches were made by Riel's counsel
and other prominent French citizens. During
their delivery great excitement prevailed
among the crowd, some of whom shouted
that they would fight before they would see
fsiel hanged. The speaker said il hanged,
Riel's name would be handed down to his
tory as a martyr, while the names ofhis ac
cusers would rot in oblivion. Warning
language to- the dominion government
was used in case the sentence is carried
out. Unity of the French in Canada
was strongly urged in order that such
n pressure might be brought to bear at
Ottawa as would secure a reprieve. Lem
ieux, Riel's counsel, just returned from Re-
gina described the scene in Riel's CELL with
two children and his aged mother with
head bowed down with grief, clinging about
the prisoner, who was unable to move
about on account of a ball and chain.
Great Indignation followed. John Carey,
lawyer. said if Riel was hanged confeder
alton was at an end. Canada wanted no
more OF it. 1t is likely that other meetings
will be held soon.

The Ruined Ohio Town.

Washington Court House, the scene Of

seat OF Fayette county. 1t has had most
extraordinary business growth within the
past fifteen years, and being the center OF q
rich agricultural district, with excellent
railroad facilities it had grown to be a busi-
ness place OF considerable Importance. Its
residents had beautified the town with
tasty dwellings, and its recently completed
court house was one OF the best in the state.
The prosperous town is a mass OF ruins.
The experience OF it's inhabitants has no
parallel in the history OF any town in Ohio.
A heavy rainfall began about 8 o'clock.
That and the darkness drove everybody
into shelter. Shortly after the rain began,
the wind came with terrifying sound. Its
work was almost instantaneous. People
say it was over in two minutes, but no.
body could take note Of time in SO fearful
an experience. The fierce roaring oil the
tornado, the crashing OF broken and falling
buildings, the thunder and the rain com
bined to produce sensations Of the most
horrifying character.

Encouraging for Business.

Bradstreet's Journal, in its commercial
summary OF the 18th says: The condition
of general trade is quite as favorable as that
mentioned ut any previons date within sew
eral weeks past. The steadiness and strength
manifested by the demand for dry goods and
for wooden fabrics have encouraged many
dealers at eastern distributing centers to
look for steadiness in the movement. 1t
may be added that the gain in the demand
for pig iron tends in some degree to inspire
the confidence manifested in various quar-
ters that turn in the tide has at last taken
place and that the increase in consump-
ton OF staple commodities may preserve
a steady growth. 1t is welcome sign
that no boom is discernible in any direction.
The Financial and Commercial Chronicle
of the 18th says: The exchanges for five
days, as received by telegraph this evening,
do not differ materially from the figures OF
the preceding period, the gain in aggregate
being $3,515 1872. The comparison with
last year. however, is more favorable. the
increase in the whole country reaching 1O.4
per cent, while outside OF New York the tx-
cess is A per cent.

tee on platform rendered report which
included the following plank:
We believe civil service laws enacted by
congress and also enacted by the legisla-
ture of this state should be absolute
y repealed, for the reasons we be-
fieve they are unconstitutional, that
they remove from the appointing power in
whom the people by their respective state
and federal institutions have confided such
power, responsibility to them for such ap-
pointmeats. They also tend to create set
of officials known as civil service commits
sioners not elected by nor directly respon-
sible to the people, who in the end may, and
undoubtedly will, become party hacks,
thereby fosteringin in the future and cloaking
evils which it will require almost revolu.
