Respecting the tone of Tho correspondence regarding Tho distribution of the seed wheat has appeared in your Columna from time to time i feel from my own personal knowledge of the same that i should place the whole matter before Tho Public in its True and proper Light. I will therefore briefly re late All the circumstances in connection with Tho transaction and defy single word to to disproved. While Ber last Winter was visiting different parts of the Western settlements to found what to thought to be a necessity for Aid from Somo source to enable the settlers to put in any or much crop. Considering the a Ovorn Mont simply a committee of the people to Felt it his duty to Lay Tho matter before them and that it was their duty to come to Tho assistance of Tho people in this respect no matter whether Tho applicants were supporters or opposition lists. Accordingly he returned to Winnipeg where to Mot or a Conzio who ably assisted him in urging Tho matter upon the at Tention of his Honor Tho Lieut govern or and Tho government. The result was that a member of the. Government proceeded to the Western part of the Pio Vinee to ascertain personally As to the truth of the statements and having satisfied himself i suppose of their correctness called together As Many of the directors of the or a Vinial agricultural and improvement society a to could read to Thorn the to memorial presented by messes Mckenzie and Brown which was endorsed by All those at the mooting from the. West cart informed them that the government on Tho strength of by these gentlemen had voted to help those Settle rain the outlying Settle ments in Tho Western p not of the pro Vince and chose to do so Trio Ufah the agricultural society thinking it to to the fairest Means of. . Whether the action of the govern mint in this respect was Wise i shall not now undertake to discuss. Suffice it to say however t do not see what bet Tor Channel could to devised. The society a vote i think unanimous handed Over to the Tho electoral division of of this hoped t b augment this sum by Tho same proportion of More which they trusted to to Able to pro cure from Tho government being the amount usually voted annually to the provincial agricultural society and placed it in Tho hands of five gentlemen whose names Are As follows Viz Walter Lynch Toto inn Mathew Whalley Golden Stream j Lyttle South pales Tine and c p Brown North Palestine. As to. Who thet the society were Justi fied in i a i not in a Posi Tion to determine but who can say that these Are not representative of whom Wero candidates at the last election. The Distri Butin of Tho West Bourne appropriation was made at a meeting it or Lyttle a Woodside. At which All five were present. Many of the those attend land the distribution effected from the Best evidence in their Possession and on breaking up the committee unanimously flattered themselves that no fault could be found with the distribution wore accordingly drawn on Trio of the society by each member of the com Mittee for the apportioned to of Tho not lord in his respective is ant for the same being taker and immediately forwarded to the Secretary of the society. Some wore honoured and some i Ere no believe to the foot that Shepf esdent o f the o society failed to get All of the extra Ono thousand Dol Lars above referred to. Some of the of Tho committee i have no pub to will crpdjt31r thought it .Best.not. Tto any of this amount till they Wero sine of get Ting it the taught Frh or Wise and a was accordingly appropriated. As the session was about to commence or. Brown had to Lesve for arts. His place on committee filled by one of Tho Resi Dent since which he has h and nothing to do with1 any transaction whatever. Subsequently Tho commit tee met a n a made the Best they could under the circumstances As already got Fth e of and it was a Del Idaho matter to ask those Par ties to give up part of what grata had being trouble of. Go ing to the their Teanis and otherwise put to Groat inconvenience through want of. Money to any their e expo nabs there Rind bade. As to Tho statement in Tho letter of one of the directors provincial Agricula society that All Trio members of Tho were not notified of the meeting it is simply a if the Means the commit Foo of Westbourne for not Only the tall present Bat took in Aad All . As regards the Westbourne a in Igor share than those at the far Cher past it. A a fact they i ice Sieve to tire ten times As much a any other locality in the province. While necessity in any part of or even of Tho Dominion should claim our sympathy or thought it Hia 1 Terete of Westbourne be i May state that some thing like four Hundred dollars remain de for the in each of the other division i As far East As Poplar Point. I am bound to Bay that our warmest thank8.arp due to Tho other. Rectors of the. Society foe their magnanimity in this affair for it was they who had the disposing of the whole be inc from oven All Westbourne whereas 1 think there Wero at least a dozen directors present at the meeting. With regard to seeking counsel i will leave it to or Brown to answer for himself As he thinks fit but we believe Here wheat it so he might discuss Tho of a Bill filled with Legal technic Clit is with Toon of less experienc a Ity than his lordship chief Justice Wood. Jonii Livingstone sept 29th, 1875. Another letter from Saskatchewan. To Tho editor of the of Bibb press. On my return from a Short absence in Tho country j find that Tho venera ble archbishop of St Boniface had descended from his High place to explain that to being prelate in this province my remarks in your Issue of last week with reference to the prelates who instigated the rebellion were consequently without any Point because to distinctly denies the allegation it i have been too Broad in my Appi Ica Liou of Tho word prolate i am in Good company As i Rind on reference to chamber s etymological dictionary of 1867 that it defines Tho word As mean ing one or Over others a Superior Clergyman a Church dignity however accepting his Defini Tion of the word and admitting that the personal character of his Grace stands deservedly High with All classes to can not deny that he must be. Held responsible for the Acta of his subordinates to whom i meant to apply Tho term Gener ally especially if he still retains them in important charges within Tho government which and still Are believed to hate As in Tho Case of pore Eichost who it is generally believed was the mover and chief advisor of Kiel it Al in Tho late rebel lion nor pan to refuse to accept some responsibility for the acts of Pere to estrange an Are rebel and a perjured Ono for he promised to intercede for Scott s life but instead hied on the guards to do the bloody deed of sub tvs base in or Dir arid lib to believe acted for .-.the. Archbishop dui Iii his absence in Koine at the very critical th0 rebellion. It is and. For this As much credit As May to claim be that he has since absented himself from Tho province. Whether this absence is due to the influence of his prolate or in obedience to Tho fact of Public opinion is not certain in known but the latter is the general the archbishop denies that Tho Jue Tisl is his Organ in any sense but there is no doubt that it a the accepted Organ of Tho French .people.of. His .Church., in the to. As he says that i have but one Organ for publication that is voice and when i think fit to use it i sign my name to the and but Overy Ono is aware that Many pens and voices Are moved at the Beck of an archbishop is for instance in the Case of a communion Tion of a Catholic in Tho nor Wester of who 27th, who Doos not sign his name. Tho insinuation implied from in aia h Ife Tor entirely1" uncalled Asho thur. Any responsible paper holds Tho name of its correspondent who. May be called to account for any Micro Presont ution of fact. Having a Roady denied any responsibility for sections of Tho Metis he pro o Secis Ioas sume its place and attack my assertions in reference to the Eov Public services with As much sophistry and no to Hia. Pors pinyin what Ber As Stutto d by his Grace it is not to him eve Geo my Dougall that the North West is indebted for the final suppression of Tho liquor traffic by his efforts in influencing Tho ton Liberal administration of the ii b co or not must remain a Ter of opinion. , that it was not until 1870 that at last the final Assurance that our efforts would be this was some ten or a dozen years after Kov Geo Mcdougall in the country and was for the Sion of liquor traffic therefore the most his Grace can properly claim is to share the honors. As to Tho matter of education certain it is that in Tho year 1s71 regular school ing at Tho m i Aston of St Aib Brt ii Ehler Edmonton until the Day and evening school taught by messes at Dougall and Hardisty had been carried on for some time then Bro Scallon Fow children together and gave his proper occupation an ephemeral obis Tanco. School was however too much devoted to last and i believe died or two. Allowing that Tho Mission of St Albert had existed Only 20 years prior to the arrival of the Rev Geo Mcdugall that time would to sufficient to Lay a basis of common education at least among the Young the m . A tree must be judged by i to fruit and the of St Albert Are an educated class whereas it May be safely stated that the Young the Rev or i and Vietoria read write the syllabic characters which were invented by the. Kev.
