It was not certain where or even on which side the source of Major Hutton's difficulty lay, and everybody was glad when Lord Dundonald accepted the very im- portant but probably thankless appointment.

On the formation of a new regiment for Eastern Quebec, he submitted a list of [1507 officers for confirmation by the Government, when the Minister of Agriculture, in the absence of the proper Minister of Militia, struck out the name of one whom Lord Dundonald knew to be eminently well qualified for the position of a militia offler. The motive of Mr. Fisher's action was plainly political. and Lon Dundonald, knowing the unlimited mischief- which the introduction of party considerations into military administration would mean to the militia, took the opportunity of public dinner to call attention to the Minister's acts.
