THE OFFICIAL REPRIMAND. V Tho mills of the gods grind slowly! Readers well remember that tho Premier recently announced that the decision of tho Government on the findings of the Court of Inquiry concerning certain charges oi: insubordination in the ranks of the Johnsonvillo Rilies was to the effect that none of them were to be dismissed, but that all were to be reprimanded. Having vouchsafed that much, the Government retired into its burrow, as it were.
