orators of tho day wrro Mr, Tetfr Mitchell, Sir John Macduuald, Mea.ri.Edrar, Peter White, liarroD, Cook, Recbard, Hewduey, Ma«-/j^on, Davies *nd Lungelier, of Montmorency, f Of these Messrs.White and Barron were the Valy supporters of the bill.Mr.Mitchell, who opened the debate, accepted Hir John Thompson's motion as |>erhaps the best compromise that Oould be reached, but still declaiod hi.preference for his own plan of deferring judgmeDl until the North West is erected into provinces with legislatures competent within thomselve.to decide whether or not they will have the dual language system.Bir John Macdeuald, seeing tho bruchoe full, followed Mr.Mitchell in one of Ilia OU) TIM* HOL'HINU aPUOHIS.It was full of energy and his voiee reemeif again aa resonant us in early manhood.Ho evidently felt it an occasion for putting forth all his power and iutluence and he did it.He appealed to both sides of the House, a thing he seldom does, and even implored with great earnestness every member to tide with him against Mr.McCarthy's bill and adopt Sir John Thompson's amendment.He accepted for the Government the full responsibility of the pas.sgeor defeat of the bill.He described Sir John Thompson's amendment as a measure of peace which would relieve the country frtm an ugitation that was perilling the best interests of Canada, hazarding the future, blocking progresa and ruining the national credit, There was an unusual ring in hia words.He again implored the Canadian Parliament of IhPO not to be lets generous, less humane, lesa toleraut than that of one hundred years ngo.It takes a very exceptional situation to draw such a speech from Sir John Macdonald, and it is not often that his utte-rances are so warmly applauded.During hia speech he enunciated a strange constitutional doctrine and be is evidently determined to preserve his eccentiicity as a constitutional authority.He decland that it was TIIK FBBBOOAT1VE OP THE GF.OWN to determine in what language the laws of a Parliament shall be published ; that Parliament ceaetd to have coutrol oi bills the moment they were submitted for tbo Royal sanction, and that tho North-West Council had no authority to publish its own ordinances, but that they must be published by the Lieutenant Governor under instructions from the Don ini n Government, This assertion of the prerogative of the Crown in this democratic country could only have been drawn from the Premier when he was at his wits\u2019tnd for argument.To think that Governor Royal has the constitutional right to have the statutes or ordinances of the Assembly printed in French,aud French only if he chooses for that\u2019s what the Premier\u2019s statement amounted to, is a contention too absurd for serious consideration Mr.Kdgar took the fsmiliar grounds against the bill, and was followed by Mr.Peter White, of Renfrew, an old Parliamentarian and an able man, frequently mentioned for the Cabinet.He delivered a short but strong speech for tho bill, which ho refused to regard as aimed at anything but the North-West after ibe preamble was eliminated.Ho recalled Sir John Thompson\u2019s declaration list session that TDI PBBAIIBLI OP THE HSCITS' ESTATES ACT was not an essential part of tho bill, and contrasted it with the new principle laid down by the Minister of Justice that tho preamble was the objectionable ( ait of Mr.McCarthy\u2019s bill.He opposed Sir John Thompson's amendment and declared for the bill Tins defection of so faithful n follower ju.t at the close of tho Premier\u2019s appeal must have been a blow to the chieftain s self reliance.After recess the dis-cureion was continued by Mr.Barron, who took strong ground in favor of the bill, delivering a very good tpeech.Mr.Cook created a great deal of laughter by portions of his speech.He represents the east riding of Mr.McCarthy's county, and he declared he remembered in one contest when Mr.Me* Caithy hired a special train to go to Toronto and interview Archbishop Lynch for his support in the elections.Ho believed the Premier and Mr.McCarthy were now rowing in one boat because no unkind word, not even a glance of rcorn, had pasied between them.Sir Hector Langevin's speech, he said, was ictlammatory, not to much, he added, in what was said, but in bis manner.His manner was very bad.Juit here the House TOOK A BICES8 or Ar.OCT ONE MINCIE TO LAUGH.sMr.Cook oppoted the bill and would give it the six months' hoist.Mr.Bechard made a dignitud, imprissivo and eloquent speech, speaking in English, and in tho very best of English, too.ll>- is a man Mr.Laurier cculd not leave out of any Cabinet ho may some day form, and he proved by tho moderation of bis language and conciliatory tone that ho already feels a srnse of responsibility for Ins utterances.Ho regarded this bill aa only the first step in a crusade which did not propose to stop at the North-West Territories, aud in its preamble gave notice of his intention to continue his crusads against the French language in tie- whole Dominion.Alluding to Mr.McCarthy's ballot box bayonet declaration, ho took it to mean that if this question was not settled by tho ballot in this generation the duty of his admirers in tho next generation would bn to rx terminate the obnoxious French-Canadians.So B th- y WOtll ! BM MM hon.gentleman and his followers assuming the attitude of conquerors, infatuated by victory, striking for the suppression of tne French languagn in tho Parliament of Canada, at tho sail o time preparing their arms to carry war into (Quebec to abolish tho French language in that province.Ho had to'.d his constituents in Iberville that ho did not believo there was any danger, but mayhap, as demagogues had in tho (last succeeded for a time, CIVIL WAH MIGHT COME, and they might have forced on them tho crnel alternative even of cowardly submitting to be deprived of tho rights dear to every heart, or of standing up like men and struggling for their maintenance.Tho French would have to appeal to their courage and the protection of tho British (lag, and if tho British flag was found jKiworlons to « Ifertheni adequate protection then their only alternative would be to turn their eyes towards tho Stars and Stripes, where they would find protection against the rage of their enemies.Ho wan charged with being an annexationist, but if this language meant annexation he was content to abide by it.He was one of those who believed this country was not des lined always to wear

history of Canada, aud quoted the action of the Krouoh during the emigrant fever outbreak, which justi tied him in telling Mr.McCarthy that the French were endow d with loving hearts and magnanimous qualities.Referring to Mr.Mercier'* utterances last June Mr.Bechard declared that Mr.Mercier was too intelligent a u »n to btlieve that a nation oould b« establishnd in l^urbrc icds-prudrnt of the rest of Canada.Ha asentsd no grtatvr importance to Mr.Meroiar's crltbratrd diclaration than wh.t wa* generally givio to after iliumr utteiauo»*.He assured the House and Mr.McCarthy that the ap|jela-tun \u201c National\u2019\u2019applied by Mr.Mercier to his paity was in compliment to one wiog of hia tarty, the members of which called themselves National Conservatives, and it had no furltisr or anti English significance.It was a mistake to think that the Liberal party in Quebec was dead.Their illustrious leader (Mr.Laurier) and his supporters from t/usbeo still called and w< uld commue to call themselves Liberals aud thi y w< uld i-ot, he could assure them, disappear from thescene of action.Notwithstaudmgevery-thing that had takiu place Ul DID NUT DIBI-AIH cl tho future of this country.H an opportunity wi re given the people they would rally aud do feat those who did not hesitate to swing the torch of discord in tins country.In conclusion he hoped lluy would by the moderation of their tone and wudun of their action earn the Hanks and gratitude of future generations.Alter Messrs.Dewdmy, Davies and Laogelier, of Montinoii-ncy, had s|M/krD, one o\u2019clock struck and Mr.Ah yot moved the adjournment of the debate, to which the Brru.ier consented on the undt it landing that the debate would close to u orrow night, but there is so much uncertainty about the whole matter that it is impossible to predict with any confidence the upshot.The iituation is aud has been stnous, MOIIB BBRIOOI AND CHITIOAL, a* I pointed out early in tho debate, than the party newspapers

the Usher of the Black Rod had bowed his haughty head ami delivered to him a beautiful apology for the outrage he bad suffered at the hands of that \"cub,\" only he did not call him a cub today.Then the question of ventilation was brought up again, and a committee consisting of Mr.Blake, Mr.Davies, Mr.Cavgrain, Mr.Mitchell, Dr.Ferguson, of Welland, Mr.Weldon, of Albert, end the Deputy Speaker were ap|>oiuted to act with Speaker Ouimet upon the matter of vintilatiun, and also upon the management of the galleries aud restaurant of the Commons.IHI riBHKHtlH qUBHTION.In the preliminary

than the opening hymn, \"Revive us ogam.\u201d Prof.Cantield, of Grimsby, aided the singing by his rich, strong voice.By request, Mr.Crossley sang \u201c My mother's prayer,\" after which the
