Another band of indians had re captured some of Tho and had brought them in to Tho Campbell was at Farwell s fort. The White party without waiting for any explanations opened h to upon this band with Winchester repeating Rafios with ter Triblo effect. Witness saw Bell fire several times.

Re port directed that Tho City Engineer hang the fireball arid lock Tho Firo tanks immediately. Aid Fonsica As a committee of one reported that in Tho Point Douglas Well and was working nobly. And that a about was done took until nearly Midnight to do it. The Case. From who Globe of Thi 4th inst. It seems that to have not heard Tho last of this cause a Clerc. It is sible that bloodshed May from carrying into execution the settled purpose of Tho friends of the Lato Joseph Guibord to have his remains interred in Tho spot whore but for the ban Church on Tho Institute of which he was a member they would now have been resting for years. It. Did not re quire this last outburst of violence to apprise the outside world of the pre sence of inflammable elements in and around Montreal. A few weeks Only have elapsed since Tho anti Small pox riot and now to hard upon it a demonstration even Moro in excusable Sinco it was intended As a deliberate Defiance of Tho highest court exorcising jurisdiction in Canada. It would by hard to characterize in Lan Guage too Strong the insane and suicidal Folly of those who instigated Tho French Canadian habitats thus to resist Tho constituted authorities of the land. That Tho rioters wore instigated May at once to taken for granted. Putting aside the Rumour that some of the cures of the Island of Montreal Havo Boon publicly inciting Tho members of their flocks to violence there Are sever Al circumstances which make it Abund Antly Clear that Tho poor deluded rabble which by noisy demonstrations and threats of murderous assault stopped Tho funeral cortege at Tho Gate of Tho cemetery was acting with Tho Conni Vance if not at Tho actual instigation of Tho clergy. How otherwise was Tho cemetery provided with s Gate so opportunely for this occasion after it has been allowed to go without one for the Otist two years and no Ono needs to botox thata single hint from their spiritual guides would have been Quito sufficient to disperse Tho rioters had the assemblage been spontaneous in its character. That no sign of disapprobation was Given by Tho priest is quite sufficient to condemn them As assess Ries. After if to fact. And if bloodshed shall hereafter1 result from any future attempt to perform what is now known to be a strictly Legal act upon the clergy will lie the moral responsibility. What the authorities of the Fabrique Hope to gain by the course they arc pursuing is utterly incomprehensible. They must be award tha t they Havo lost their cause and that Tho action of m Douro and his friends is perfectly Legal. They must to aware also by this time that the. Determination which has supported Tho friends of Tho deceased through Tho Long years of litigation is not Likely to abandon them now at a time when they have All but reached the goal for which they Havo been striving. The whole civil Power and if need to Tho whole military Power of Tho country is arrayed against them and any temporary resistance they can make will Only have the effect of rendering their defeat More and alienating from them what Public sympathy they have otherwise a Chance of retaining. Whoever suffers it will not do to Bavo Tho mandate of a Superior court disregarded and violence offered to those entrusted with its execution. To Tho Law under which to live to must All Bow can easily to found to either Bond or break Tho Rafac tory. An excellent Opportunity for Graceful submission to the will of the privy Council has been irrecoverable loaf Tho nex t Alfo f the drama will be a for More Humilia tory Ono Abr the Fabrino.
