A la.ANtT. AT CAN'AMA,
THK DOMINION, ITS PEOPLE AND THE ltr.-
UQIOUB BIOTS.
Toronto, October U. —Step across
the Suspension Bridge and you are
In u country so different from the
United States thut without strain of
fancy it seems that you may have ta
ken a week’s nap and waked up in
! England. Tho very first man who
addresses you—the ofilet'r of tho cus
toms—leaves off his h’s in the same
hasty and deferential mariner as does
he who goes through your trunk on
I Liverpool wharf; and when you en
l ter tho eating saloon you are sur
rounded with solid British comforts
mixed with grease.
Whirled away from here at tho
clang of the bell. Down the per
spective of tho ear, your neighbors
or an hour ago on the “American
side” have changed into Englishmen
with mutton-chop whiskers. Scotch
caps and tweed suits, and Englishwo
men with hats that Shirley Dare and
Jennie June would merrily gird at.
At Hamilton (’Amilton tho railway
people call it) and Toronto ("Taran
ty” they will shout it in your ears)
you mix with a crowd of human be
ings very different in some notable
respects from those whom they call
the Americans. Their physical ap
pearance, their generally self-com
placent manners, careless and often
ill-titting apparel, line, rich pronun
ciation despite occasional t'oeknoy
istns, invariable politeness of speech,
accompanied in few instances by im
pertinent stares : their pride in being
Canadians of British descent; their
amusing tolerance of the United
States, its democracy and its institu
i tions which are some time or other
[going to pieces; their half pity for
Americans, with no origin and tin tin
j sound currency ; their outlandish ve
hicles and shabby umbrellas; the
civility of t heir helineted policemen,
who though not as tall, are thrice as
! lofty as the giants on Broadway ;
j their eosey hotels, with great tires in
i tho dining-rooms all these merelv
■ exteriorthings, which you get at wit It
: your eyes and ears in passing, assure
! you before you begin to seriously
converse with an Upper Canadian
that you have come into a strange
I land, and that the notion of pcaee
! fully amalgamating its people with
! your own mast always have boon in
| i ole ruble here, except to a few un-
Ii rust worthy agltatois.
Lord DulTeriu's London speech on
. this latter subject did not exaggerate
tile loyalty of the Canadians to the
j mother country. There are immense
| political differences, ranging widely
through the Dominion; but these,
j even in Lower Canada where the
I French element predominates, do
I not seriously affect the loyalty of
'Canadians to the Crown, I oil can
! hardly take up an advertisement of a
theatre or a clothing store which
does not have for its motto, "God
save the Queen!” The best hotel
I here in Toronto has hung in its
| homelike parlors two of the best pie
! run* of Queen Victoria and Prince
Albert that were ever made. They
j were procured from England by the
proprietor very lately with consider
able tact and cost, arid attract a mul
titude of visitors to his hotel dai
ly.
Everywhere, as you gradually pen
etrate into Upper Canada, the signs
of attachment to the mother country,
or Itt least to the mother country’s
institutions, thicken, and the intelli
gent men of both the Liberal and
Conservative pat I lea hero eon firm the
statement that t here is no real gravi
tation toward democracy as we un
derstand itinth" United States. Be
tween United S'ates and Canadian
institutions you do not otil'e to force
a comparison; yet. a New Yroker,
fresh from over the border, has
thrust on him at mite some practical
illustrations of the power of a Cana
dian currency level with gold and
of the cheapness of certain necessary
things in a Canadian market, which
compel a c unpatison in his secret
mind. For instance:
1. Having to exchange the green
backs in his pocket-bo ik for Canada
money, he finds they arc worth just
eighty-four cents on tlie dollar. For
sail in Unite I States money lie re
ceives 527.20 in Canada brink notes
and silver. So In- los es, or seems to
lose, $1.89 by this transaction, the
same as if he had dropped that* sum
or had it stolen from him.
2. lie goes to a Cana la hotel. When
his bill is presented at the end of a
week lie finds himself charged at the
rate of $2 or $2.50 a dav for board,
which in most parts of the United
States would cost, him s4and $5 <t day.
His hotel bill is, therefore, only $17.50
in his new Canada money, instead of
t he $35 in greenbacks, which it, would
have cost him at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel at home. Had lie stayed at the
latter hotel he would have boon $5
out of pocket more than his S3O.
•Staying at the Canada hotel he has
saved from his S3O nearly $3 in Cana
da money, worth $9.28 in greenbacks.
3. With itis residue of $8 in Canada
monev he goes to a Canada store and
asks for a hat. For a hut that would
cost him iu New York $5 he pays $2.
He goes to a shoe-store with his re
maining $5. For a pair of boots that
he had iicen used to give sl2 for at
home ho gives only $5. and comes
j away perplexedly scratching his
I head.
i “How in the deuce is it that I have
got. so much for so little money V” lie
says. “By Jove, it must be that
greenbacks are the most magical cur
rency irr the world.” And such, doubt
less, would be Wendell Phillips’ or
the Cincinnati Enquirer's cfitichision
on a similar occasion. Tins simple
fact that lie has taken himself and
his rotten inconvertible United States
promises to pay intoa country which,
showing him in- oitaneously wtiat it
thinks of an inflated currency, shears
off from every false dollar of them
the exact sum of their depreciation
below tile dollar, and which then,
after that, demonstrates to him the
blessing of Free Trade by giving him
back in the bargain twice more for
his poor money than ho could get
from any publican or store-keeper in
the protected Union this doesn’t
seem to get through our bewildered
traveller's head.
But it is constantly iri the heads of
sehrewd Canadians, who do not in
tend to let themselves be drawn into
a share in the payment of our war
debt, our high prices for clothing
and utensils, our frightening rates of
State, municipal and local taxation
which Governor Tilden has started
the remedy of in New York. Cana
dians direct your attention, with a
certain pride, to the facts which de
note their progress. Eighty-three
years all Canada was a wiluer
jae3S. Upper Canaria, now the Prov
ince of Ontario, was inhabited by
only 2,000 ariventurers, grouped about
a few military and trading posts.
Even Lower Canada, now the Prov
ince of Quebec, nearer the Atlantic,
had a population of scarcely 109.000.
COLUMBUS. GA., TUESDAY. OCTOBER 20. 187,5.
Now Ontario has a population of
1,620,851, and Quebec a population of
1,191,516. The total population of
tite New Dominion is about 4,000,000;
its area is 377.045 square miles, or
with Prince Edward Island. New
Foutulland, British Columbia, and
the Hudson's Bay and Northwest
Territories, the itittneuso extent of
3,300,345 square miles nearly three |
times the number embraced in the
Empire of China, and greater by 400,-
uoo square miles than the whole ter
ritory of the United States.
This Dominion of Canada takes a
fourth place among tho maritime na
tions of the world. That fact itself
smites oppressively upon the
Kelleys and Bnllers in the United
States. \Ve aro a nation 0f40,000,000.
The New Dominion has one-tenth
that nn miter of people, and at present
a much smaller territory than ours ;
yet It lias a navy of 6,575 steam and
sailing vessels. 1143,533 tons, of a total
value or $32,844,069. Upper and
Lower Canada have nearly three
thousand miles of railway. The
Grand Trunk alone has now a total
length of road, constructed under its
charter and obtained by amalgama
tion, of some 1,500 miles. The Vie
toria Bridge across tho St. Lawrence
at Montreal an essential part of the
Canada railway system is one of tho
great engineering works of the cen
tury. Its total length is 9,184 feet, it
has t wenty-five spans, twenty-four of
242 feet, oiio of 330 foot. There are
3,00(1,1100 cubic feet of masonry in it,
and the total cost, was about $7,000,-
000.
The whole external trade of the
Dominion reached in one year $150,-
000,000,
The educational progress of some
parts lias been surprising, especially
in Upper Canada. In Lower Canada,
t he home of the French inhabitants, it
is not, of course, so marked. The so
cial conditions of all parts are ex
tremelv interesting. Here in Onta
rio, or tipper Canada, where no scig
nor has ever been acknowledged, m>
lord of the manor has ever been
known, and no landlords exist, except
on a very limited scale, the people
are essentially self-governed. The
county magistrate, says my author
ity. is' usually an intelligent farmer
or a village shopkeeper. The muni
cipal or township councillors, who
impose lire tuxes and contrtd county
matters, are drawn from the same
classes, which likewise constitute the
bulk of the grand jurors at the semi
annual courts of assize. Ability in
the first place, and wealth in the sec
ond, are the only grounds of admit
ted superiority; and even these must
be asserted with tact to be recognized
in a community where the liners of do
niarkiition between classes aro very
faint ly drawn. The most elevated in
condition cannot afford to disregard
a neighbor, however humble, and
Hurls that an affable demeanor and
courteous mannersure indispensably
necessary to a comfortable inter
course with those with whom he re
sides. Abundance of employment
and well paid labor raises even the
ordinary working-man, if he is at all
industrious, above the accidents of
want, ami imparts to him a feeling of
genuine independence. Asa conse
quence of this State of things serious
crime is rare in the rural districts,
and a few rustic constables suffice to
preserve order, while assize courts
are frequently held at county towns
representing an adjoining population
of from 50,000 to 80.000, at which the
criminal calendar does not contain
half a dozen names. At the same
time Canada has neither poor-laws
nor poor houses. Think of that—
Massachusetts!
In Lower Canada, or Quebec, since
the seigniorial tenure system was
finally abolished, every semblance of
a landed aristocracy has ceased, and
the habitant farmer bus become the
owner, in the fullest, sense, of the soil
he cultivates. But he is still a most
primitive fellow ; isolated by his lan
guage, his religion and his national
prejudices, he almost renounces pro
gress and sticks to tho customs and
Ihe religion of his ancestors. He
knows little nr history; of current
events, less. When a stranger, stop
ping a few years ago at a habitant’s
door near Riviere du Loup, tie men
tioned the war that Jiotiis Napoleon
was waging with French troops
against Germany; the family crowd
ed around him with big eyes, believ
ing that he was telling them of an
other t/randu niterri’ waged by the first
Emperor. The habitant submits to
tiis priest, paying him tithes arid rev
erence. Most of Hie Lower Canadi
ans are a simple, pastoral people,
completely overshadowed by their
Anglo-Saxon neighbors. Quebec, their
capital, is almost, a French city. It
is. or at least had been until within a
few years past, retrograding in pop
ulation and weallth. On the other
hand Montreal, populated hv Eng
lish-speaking people, is a commercial
capital of commanding enterprise
and influence.

BULLOCK COURT.
Special to the Daily Times,]
Union Hphinos, Ala., Oct,., 25 -Cir
cuit Court convened hero today,
Judge J. E. Cobb presiding, instead
of Judge 11. D. Clayton, they having
exchanged Circuits. Judge Cobb de
livered a very able charge to the
Grand Jury and was especially se
vere in his stricture on the deadfall
system which is so prevalent in this
section, II<; charged the Grand Ju
ry to make dilligent enquiry as to
the hiring out of convicts who had
been sentenced to hard labor in the
county, saying all officials or individ
uals who permitted convicts to go at
large or work as other laborers could
be convicted of a voluntary escape.
Judge Cobb comes with a high rec
ommendation as a Judge and prom
ises a strict enforcement of the law.
Ex. Gov.T. H. Watts made enable
and telling speech here to-day before
a largo and appreciative audience on
the ratification of the new Constitu
tion, to which no open opposition has
developed itsef in this county as yet.
No eases weretried to-day, but the
civil docket will be taken upto-mro

number of cjisos to be tried. Iho

TO NEW YORK.
HUMORED CABINET CHANCES.
New York, Oet. 24.—Tho Herald
published to-day the following spe
cial :
Washington, 00t33. -VieePresident
Wilson made a flying visit to Wash
ington to-day, remaining only a few
hours and going back to New York.
He cuttle to see for himself tho effect
upon political circles here of tho ap
pointment of Chandler to a seat In
tho Cabinet. Tho open disaffection
in the Republican camp, caused by
this appointment, offers Wilson the
opportunity to further his own well
known ambition to bo Grant’s suc
cessor, and Ids visit was in the nature
of a reoonwtlssunce, to learn tho ex
tent of the latest rebellion against
Grant, which is so pronounced, that
to kill him off Simon Cameron will
probably let the Pennsylvania elec
tion go by default.
Furthermore, the early resignation
of Postmaster General Jewell is pre
dicted by the friends of the Adminis
tration. His withdrawal from the
offlco being the beginning of the
breaking of the Cubinet, which, it
will be remembered, was apprehend
ed as soon as Chandler was made Sec
retary of tho Interior.
Again, the resignation of Jewell
from the Cabinet would allow him to
put himself, with good grace, in the
hands of his friends who are desirous
of securing for him the nomination
for tho Vice Presidency in 1876.
The decapitation of Secretary Cow
art, upon the return of Chandler from
Michigan, will be the signal for the
resignation of Secretary Bristow, who
will then also lie free to accept the
nomination of his friends in further
ance of Ids nomination for the Presi
dency.
All this shows tho progress of tho
movement inside the Republican par
ty against its control by tho Presi
dent, and indicates the strength of
Bristow-Jewell combination itt the
Cabinet. Doubtless the formidable
aspect of this combination for tho Re
publican Presidential ticket next year
was too much for the peace of mind
of Vice President Wilson, and has
tened his speedy return to the East
this afternoon.
