Whis- the Confederation Scheme now being model- {Jed in the Colonies, speaks of the tidings

falling “ yot more welcome on our ears as the harbinger of the future and complete independence of British North America.”’

The London correspondent of the New York News presents the Confederation ques- tion in a new aspect. It says :—

* The address of the Governor General at the opening of the Canadian Parliament could not have escaped your attention, You will perceive that the idea of a Con-

The Governor General also remarks that the circumstances are favorable for the for- matié@ “of a new vationality.” This is, it must be admitted, a remarkable expression, but I think I can explain its motive. From the time whea your war first broke out Ca- nada became a source cof unusual anxiety. England would not consent to Canada be- coming independent, but she would object to her or any part of her joining the United States. It was then suggested that the Provinces should be welded together so that a part could not be taken without the whole being conquered, and it is this poliey which the Governor General is to foster. The Kwperor of the French is pleased with the plan—for it tends to favor his idea of Ame- rica being divided imto powers in close alliance with, and to some extent, under the jurisdiction of Europeampowers, His wish is that treaties should be entered into by which England and France eonjointly enter into offensive and defensive alliances with Mexico, with Canada and with the Confe- derate States,”

Lord Houghton in the British House of Lords, has expressed his warm approbation of the Scheme of Confederation, in the fol- lowing language: —* ] heartily concur with all that has been said Ly my noble friend

of that project. It is, my lords, a most in- teresting contemplation that that project has arisen and has beea approved by Her Ma- jesty’s Government. * * * We do still believe that though thus banded to- gether they will recognize the value of Brit'sh connection, and that while they wil! be safer in this amalgamation we shall be as safe in their fealty,”

Lord Granville, one of the greatest of Kngland’s great men, said last month in the House of Lords:—* What ought to make us still more proud of the good Government which must undoubtedly have prevailed among us is to find that our North American Colonies, in expressing their wish to con- tinue their connection with this country, and in adopting the new institutions they have been considering with such calm and pru-

able to keep as close as possible to the con-| stitution and institutions under which we so happily live.’’

—_—_—

[From the New York Tribune.]

When the scheme of uniting all the provinces of British America in one con- federacy was first matured at the Uonference of Charlottetown and Quebec, it seemed to be so popular as to silence all opposition. With the exception of the French in Lower Canada, the leaders and the balk of all the! political parties in each Province seemed to agree upon the expedieacy of the measure. | | Subsequently there was a defeetion from | this unaaimity of some influential men in | the Maritime Provincesand Prince Edward | (sland, and the adoption of the scheme by | the present Legislature became doubtful. | On the whole, however, the progress of the plan has been satisfactory; and now that the | time for action bas come, its speedy realiz- | ation seems to be secured. The Govern- | meat of Canada has, apparently, no inten-| _tioa whatever of taking the popular vote on | | the subject.

Annexation or Canapa.— The Boston Courter of March 1, contains a startling paragraph :—

A Montreal paper has the following ex- traordinary statement: * If the Provincial Government is as wel! served by its spies as it pretends to be, it ought to be aware that there bas been in this city for some weeks a Commissioner of the Federal Government negociating with the leaders of the Annex- ation party, and obtaining information as to the feeling of the people of this Province as to a union with the United States, And the probable amount of hostility they would show if this was attempted by invasion. This Commissioner professes to be authoriz- ed to pay $100,000.000 for the Canadas, with liberal commissions to those who will assist the project of annexation.’’

FRIGHTFUL DEED OF BLOOD.

We have just learned the particulars of a fearfal deed of blood, which for horrid ma- lignity and demoniae coolnees, is almost without. paralle! ou the red pages of crime. Oupthe Sth of August last, David Frank Bivans a young man of 22, deserted from the army. His home was with his parents, who resided at Woodstook, Lenawee Coun- ty, Michigan. For a long period after his desertion, his whereabouts were unknown to his friends and to the provost Marshal of that district until very recently, when it was discovered that he was living at Graf- ton in this State. [On account of the en- treaties of his parents and young wife, who resided with them and who ranked among the most respected families atthe village, young Bivin’s arrest was delayed, and milder m@asures were iastituted to induce his return to the army. All of no avail, however. On Monday night last the quict of the little village of Woodstock was start led by the total destruction by fire of the house of the parents of young Bivins, and on Tueslay morning a strap and buffalo robe, known not to belong there, were found in an adjoining shed, which led to the sus- picion that the double crime of arson and murder had been perpetrated.

lnvestigation was immediately instituted, which resulted in learning the fact that the robe belonged to a livery stable in Hudson, vine miles distant, and the further fact was aseertained from the keeper that on Mon- day night immediately after the arrival of the evening train from this city, a man had hired a horse and buggy with the recognized robe, and returned that night, taking the two o'clock night train for Toledo. Pro- vost martial F. A. Wilcox, of that district, had his suspicions immediately centred up- on young Bivins as the perpetrator of the deed, and in company with the Deputy- Sheriff of Lenawee Uo., proceeded yesterday morning to Grafton. Upon stepping from the cars at Grafton, about the first person he recognized was young Bivins, standing in the doorway of the hotel. He stepped up, and shaking bands with him, remarked, ‘You know what I have come for. You must go with me.’ The young man affected ignorance, and suggested that he had come The Provost Marshal eyed him keenly and told him that his father’s house had taken fire on Monday night, and that his parents and wile were burned up. ‘* My God! who killed them?” immediately exclaimed B vins in feigned sur- prise and consternation. ‘You did?’ instantly ejaculated the Provost Marshal. Bivins

young fiend made a full confession of his

flames would destroy all traces of crime, and the world would remain ignorant of the

murder, or if suspicions were in, they could not fasten upon him. The culprit states that this was his fourth

trip from Gra‘ton. On three oc- casions he mace the trip to Woodstock fore the consummation of this foul deed, and each time his }prata! heart failed him. “We have the dread result of his fourth trip. The unnatural! murderer who had thus im- brued his hancs in*the blood of three ties of relationship, the nearest and on God's earth, is an only son, but 22 years of age, slim, genteel in appearance, and hand- some in face and feature. His was neat, tasty and fastidious. With his rosy cheeks, daintily curled aad delicate black moustache, tegether with his ‘kid-gloved hand, he looked more like a dandy than-the finished murderer that he is, Théanna!s of crime furnish but few muftders that will equal this for cool premeditation and de- liberate caleulation, and by one who has scarcely passed his boyhood.— T'olédo ( Ohio) Commercial. ’ —_—
