i € "very Jonny Simpson on his Muscle. If writing be a muscular exercise --and wecan"t see why it should not be--then Jonny Simpson, Pres- ideut of the Ontario Bank, must have emphatically stood on his muscle during the late parliament- ary elections; for by his own con- fession he was mighty on Tho epis- tolary line. A eotrespondent of the ~ Mail of the 2nd inst., put this inde- fatigable letter writter in so tight a a place that he has been forced to rise and explain; and certainlythe explanation places him and the pre- sent Grit Government in the most Lumilating posit.on--a position in avhich the worst enimies of either would have more charity than seck to place either of them. Jonny ad- mits of having written lots of these * famcus proselytizing circulars. 1le gives a copy of one of these precious documentg and doubtless softened it down to the utmost of whieh it is jbuteven with all this doctoring and trimming the docu~ ment to our mind savors more of a political comspiracy between the bank and the government against the free exercise of the franchise thauit does of a squeezing letter from the head officer of a bank to his clients.

" Bowmanville, Jan, 17, 1871. , Esq. i-- ¢ Dear Sir,--Although I am not dishosed to oppose Mr. Gibbs on personal grounds in the approaching electon, still as one who has labored long and hard to promote the interests «f Canada, I now ask wy friends to support men who avitl support 'the present Government, for fie following reasons :-- « 1st. For'the country's goodand to show England that we Canadians will not sustain or tolerate men who will barter our rights aud stain our characters for base and sordid motives. + "2nd Because many of the men forming the prescut Government are my personal and esteemed friends. ¢ 3rd. Because if the present government is sustained, I will be able through them to get justice for our party in needful appoint--1 ments and otherwise. : " 4th. Becuuse if they are sustained our bank and other Ontaro banks (and through them the country) will bave the use of the Government surplus until required. 4 May I ask you to give my cld friend Mr Kameroy your candid and hearty support ? © %I am, yours truly, "J. SIMPSON." " Is gbt that & piece of tuol impud- ence, a tissue of insolence, an insult to the wntelligenceof a free people and a more thorough exposure of the corrupt practices of the present gov- ernment than their worst enguiss have ever attempted. The introduction isa curiodsly wrought piece of vonsense ¢ Al- though Iam not opposed to Mr. Gibbs porsonally," yet on account of JobLn's personal services he wishes Lis clients to oppose Mr. Gibbs. The 1st. chapter of Joim's epistle "isnot original and issimply a com: pilation aud contraction of all the savings of the Globe during the late .clection campaign. "The 2nd. chapteris original and unique, and proves the irvesistible clamas which the government has on the country :--¢ Many of them arc Job's friends." The 3rd Chapter isa stinger and shows that John has had an eye to biz ; a§,9f the chapter means angy- {hiig, it appears to us simply 'to mean that John had had the progiise .of fat things far'his friends if' the Government were sustained.

Bribery and corruption in their worst forms appear to be the order of the day in the Grit ranks. Mr. McGregor the Grit represen- tative of Essex, has been led forth dripping all over with bribeey and corruption. The Whisky | fairly flowed during his election, and when treating failed to fetch the votes the stamps brought them. The acts of bribery and corruption of the Grit McGregor got unseated. In Cornwall the Grit representa- tive has been unseated on the most barefaced and unblushing acts of cor- ruption, bribery and grog. At the election of the late Mr. Cunningham, member for Marquette, Monitoba-- a double distilled Grit-- the bribery, corruption and general election frauds practised were per- tectly hideous and the sword of jus- tice followed him even to the grave and declared his election void. IIy- pocracy, whisky, money, and other frauds appear to have played a prominent part in the late Grit elec- tions. But the wholesale bribery, cor- ruption ard other wbominable elec tion frauds perpetrated on grit sul- jects by the grit member. eloct for Lincoln, Capt. Norris, and the grit member elect for London, Mr. Wilk- er, caps 'the cliniax. Both of these grit gentlemen have been shame- fully driven from their seats. These other two grits are cut off for ever. The Globeces no harm iff few treats, some bills, and other frauds so long as they are practiced by Grit Candidates and their emissaries.-- The Globe revels in that convenient Jesuitical theory--* the end justifies the means." However, if the slaughter continues there will not be left a baker's dozen of Grit voters or representatives ; the extirpation goes on pleasantly. - SN ' The Young Britons.

His Honor Judge Burn~ ham, presiding, John Christie, 9. lerk of the Municipality, was appointed Clerk of the Court, P. A. Hurd, Esq., acting for the Conservatives, and W. M, Cochrane, Esq., for the Grits. The Town Hall not being in a condijtion to hold Court, Heard"s Hall was used, The attendance was large, deeply interested and somewhat noisy. Business opened with the application of Mr. Wm. Spence to have the name of Wm. Westlake inserted on the roll, Mr. Westlake not Leing present, Mr. in his absence, The Court said where it is shown that a man has a perfect right to have his name on the roll and that through mistake it has been omitted there can be no objection torits be- {ing inserted in the absence of the party ; but where an appeal is made to have any name struck off it would not be right to strike it off and thus deprive him ofa vote without having him present and giving him an op portunity of proving his claim. Name put on. An appeal had been made to have the name of Richard Marks corrected to Wm. H. Marks, The nature of the appeal was mis understood and Mr. Marks' claim to a vote was sharply investigated though that had no right to be touched as there was no appeal as to his qualification but simply as to an error in his christian name. Mr. Nicholas Marks, father of Wm. H. Marks, appeared for his son, and testified that there is no' Richard Marks in that lo- cality, that the y assessed as Richard Marks. is lis con and should be Wm. H, Marks. That his son has not a deed of the land but it 1s really his, he works it and will have it at my death, I have willedit to him. He generally buys and sells and disposes of the proceeds. This agreement was made [when the yoang man was married. * Here Mr. Gordon said he would like to ask the Court for a rulling in this case, as there are a good many similar cases amongst those appealed against. Mr. Hurd remarked that the Appellants on that side had alrcady employed one Counsel and if Mr. Gordon and eyery one else are allowed to put such he as they please then he (Mr. Hurd) will have to call if the assistance of all his friends. Mr. Gordon appealed to the Court as tol Lis right to put the question, The Court raplicd that he had a Counsel and whatever he (Mr. Gordon) had to ask should be through Counsel. . Vote held good. Name corrected. The spelling of the name of Edward and John Phenix was corrected. Mr Cochrane asked as a favor if the Court would take up the matter of Thos Conant as he had come a long distance and could rot well stay trom home. The Court consented. Thos Conant. --Title produced--Vote held good--Appellants to pay costs. J Arnold objected to as being assessed too high ($200). Arnold sworn --To Mr Cochrane--I am asgussed for 7 acres this year ; formerly as. sess»d for 1} acre. I rent the place from Mr D Christie. Have for the past nine years paid him un eonual rent varying from 15 to $20, There is no writt:n lease and no fixed rent. I pay him sometimes in money and sometimes in wock, Of course I expect to pay more rent this year for 7 acres than I formerly paid for 14. There is no bargain as to the amount of reut nor how long I may remain on the place. Can't say how much I was assessed for last year. Ye Vote held good--Appellants to pay costs. Here Mr Gordon asked the privilege of making one remark on the matter of costs as far as the costs of service is concerned. The Court said there would be no cost of service for those which the parties served themselves but those that were served by the constable would be charged the regular fees. Mr Gordon replied that they had all been served Ly a constable. The Court replied that he bad been inform- ed that numbers had been served without passing through the hands of the constable and in such cases there would be ne charge Mr Gordon said that though his honor had written him to get the summonses, and: though he (his honor) had both t¢legraphed and written to the clerk to band the sum- monses over to him (Gordon) to attend to their being scrved yet the clerk refused to gife thet up. The Cotrrt remarked that the Clerk had ritten him on the subject ; but as to the costs of service in such cases, that would-be considered another time, R Acton sworn--I am the owner of the property, 4 in the 13. 1 never conveyed itto anyone. .
