Meanwhile the Honourable Adams G. Archibald, of Nova Scotia, 

 had been appointed Lieutenant-Governor of the new Province. 

 On the 23rd of June the country had been formerly transferred to 

 Canada, and until the new Governor arrived, on the 2nd of Sep- 

 tember, Colonel Wolseley having no civil authority, the civil 

 affairs of the Province devolved upon Honourable Donald A. 

 Smith, as principal officer of the Hudson's Bay Company. Lieu- 

 tenant-Governor Archibald assumed his official duties on the 6th of 

 September, and Colonel Wolseley and the regulars returned to 

 Ontario. The militia remained in Manitoba to preserve order, but 

 their services were not needed as the rebellion departed with Kiel. 

 Thus was the young Province established and peace and order 

 restored within its limits.
