Cardinal AofonellJ.A ROYAL COMMISSION.It is currently reported that, iu the unfortunate event of the health of His Homor tho Lieutenant-Governor preventing him from opening the coming Session \u2022f the Quebec Legislature in person, it is the intention oi the Dominion Government to advise His gxoellency the Governor General to appoint * Royal Com-miasion for the purpose.Among the dames mentioned as those of the probable Commissioners, we have heard those THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.The guiding policy of the government of a great people and the selection of their chief magistrate are always objects of the deepest interest, not only at home, but abroad ; and it is therefore not ex-aggers ting to say that to-day will be one of intense excitement and feverish anxiety throughout the United States ; and that, in those feelings, the outside world will be a considerable sharer.This is not surprising, when we consider the complete antagonism of the two great political parties into which the American nation is divided\u2014an antagonism em bittered between themselves by the gros» at revelations of peculation, fraud and prostitution of power, by crimination and recrimination, the tone of the public press gnd the most reckless aspersions of private character for party purposes* On the other hand, for outsidera, the si tuatum has been rendered complicated and bewildering not only by this conduct of American politicians to the extent of leading the former to doubt very seriously in the existence of political honesty within the Union ; but by the very extraordinary manner in which even the poli, ticni parties themselves have been split up on many of the leading questions of the hour, so that to attempt to form any conclusion in y egard to the future man ner in which they are to he decided would bave seemed worse than useless To-day, however, will render dear much that has been hitherto mysterious or purposely confused with respect to the real feelings and intentions of our Ame rican neighbors, jÿithin twenty-four hours from the time of writing, the agony, which has been worked up to a piteh of ia^ep uty among them seldom witnessed before, over any election, wil^ be ended, and, by the results of the polls all over the Union, the public will learn whether the political complexion of the General OoTdrnmentof the United Sta*}8 is to continue, tot the next, as it has been for the peat four years\u2014Republican, that is to say, by the ejection of Hayes to the^ Presidential chair as Grant\u2019* *u0 cessor ; or whether it shall not once more become Democratic by the elevation of Governor Tilden to that distinguished position by the will of the American peo pie.We have already premised that to forecast the result of the contest is next to impossible.Both candidates are un doubtedly good and honest, able and well meaning men, and, notwithstanding al the besmirching of their characters that has been attempted, we are inclined to believe that the bitterest partisan in op position in either case does not credit its troth in his hearty.On this ground therefore, the chances seem equalized though it is eaid that, disgusted with the career of Grant\u2019s Republican Administra tion, ppd impressed with Tilden\u2019a bones ty of purpose in the direction of reform as practically evidenced m Jiis acts as Go.vernor of the State of New York, pxppj honest Republicans, anxious to see the Augean stable cleaned out, will cast their vote tc#-day with the Democratic party for Tildep, reform, and a purer adminis tration.On the other hand, the more staunch Republicans hold that^y the elec tion of General Hayes, the country has a percept guarantee, in the high charac-tar of that 'gentleman, for all these desiderata, coupled with the fact that the maintenance of their p&rtv in power will secure a speedier return to specie payments and the establishment of business upon a healthier basis, yvhile the country will not have in him, as in Tilden, if he be elected, a concealed sympathizer with rebellion, evidenced, it is pretended, by the circumstance that the Sooth will go solid for Tilden, and a mao pledged to the satisfaction of rebel claims.This assertion, made some time since, was considered so damning by the Democrats to their cause that Tilden was obliged publicly to come out over his own signature and deny in the most posi tire terms its troth, while promising to veto all rebel claims.While this action has undoubtedly gained him friends in the North, it may be a question whether it has not lost him many supporters in the South.Nevertheless, the Democrats contone to claim the latter as a unit for him, and if their pretensions come up to anything like the reality, then there is the strongest reasons to infer that Tilden will have a majority of the votes oi the electoral college and become the next President of the United States.It is ad mitted, however, that the great turning point of the scale will be the State of N®w York.Both sides concede that whichever candidate carries that State, must carry the election.At present, Tilden is its Governor by the choice of the Democrats, who carried it at the last elections by a very large majority.Under such circumstances, he would appear to have the beat prospect of success ; but New York State has been proverbially fickle, leaning now to one side and now to the other by largely preponderating votes.Til-den\u2019s vigorous policy of reform, since he became Governor, sgay also alienate from him out of revenge at preeent many of title corrupt rings and Tammanyites, who formerly elected him, but it is probable that this loss will be compensated by a more creditable accession of strength from the honest general electoral body of the State.In the mean time, both parties continue to work hard, and both are confident of victory.Faith in the ultimate success of an election is, doubtless, an excellent thing to have, and the gentlemen in charge of the Campaign Committees do not seem to be wanting in faith.Here is what the New York H&ald, * comparatively independent journal in matters political, says of them and their estimates ;\u2014 Thera does not seem to be tbs slightest doubt In the minds of any of them bat that the party they represent will be the winning party.The visitors are always impressed by this faith, and carry away with theca tfieconviction that the contest is settled beyond the shadow of a doubt.It is Interesting at this stage of tbe campaign to learn which States, in tbe op;nions of tbs headquarter mathematicians, are sure for their aide.From tbe tobies below ti will be seen that tbe State of New York, with 85 electoral votes, and tbe State of Sooth Oarolina, with 7 electoral votes, are claimed by both parties.Tbs States named as donbtfnl by the democrats are California (6), Pennsylvania (29) anff Wisconsin (iO).The republicans claim to be doabtfoUv-Connecticnt (6), Florida (4), Louisiana (\u2022), New Jersey

these piles weye all close together.I judge of tbe number of staves taken from the quantity of rubbish around the pjles.Tbe more staves that are taken out, tbe more the dtlfrit.Francois Prévost said :\u2014J aig shipper fqr Mr.Patton.On the night of the 38th August I know that ataves were taken | how many I do not know.I know the prisoner.Two days after above date I went with the police to prisoner's house, and kthe police found In the haugard four forge staves and two small ones.The staves produced are these found at Bourget\u2019s.I know them by their siae and mtrka.I cannot say whose stoves they are They are similar to those which were In the piles from which some had been stolen.I have been 12 yeara in the employ of Mr.Patton.I deliver all stares from the cove, never delivered any to the prisoner; neither do I know Inst be deals in timber.I did not see the prisoner fn the cove at the time the staves were carried away.Cross-examined\u2014I should not be able to identify thnstayps if they were not marked.The police searched prisoner\u2019s house tho-rcughly from garret to baspment.All that was found of the missing stoves were those produced in Court.Cyrille Begin said\u20141 am in the employ of Mr.Patton.I know the'prisoner.I did not gee him in Mr.Patton\u2019s cove last summer, but in Mr.Marquis\u2019 cove, which is next to Patton's.I met the prisoner at 6 a.m.of tbe 29th Aug, carrying two staves, about 2f and 3 inch.They resembled the staves belonging to Mr.Patton.I do not know of any other stoves In that neighborhood.Cross-examined\u2014I am sure it was six o\u2019clock, as tbe steam-whistle had just sounded, when I met prisoner.I wss about thirty feet away from him.I did not notice if tbe stoves Erlsoner had were wet or not.The staves he >d appeared to be a little darker - colored than staves usaallv are.Be-exsmined\u2014The piles are near the water side.Be-cross-exumlned\u2014I do not know whether the water at high tide could reach the piles ;
