Of course the country is paying them well for this martyr- dom each of them receiving $256 for every day in the week, Sundays excepted. But their excruciating _ agony in having to meeta wronged and outraged people may be more ensily imagined than described. -- Tore a long list of broken promises stares them in tho face, thero the fruits of their extravagance and in- capable management are presented on all hands, hundreds of poor suf- fering ones having neither money nor work who are all but ruined by the stupid legislation of these in- competents, mect them wherever they go and clamor for relief which they never receive; McKenzie and and the other incapables are all well provided for with their $25 aday and what do they care for the cries of the poor. But Mr. McKenzie the "Arttul Dodger" in order if pog- possible.to metigate the sufferings of the pillory or rather to draw the people off the scent passes in silence the acts of himself and his Govern- ment and pretends to discuss the acts of the lato Government who have been oatof office for over But the dodger can- not make the fraud work, for there are always sce at all these meet- ings who detect and expose the fraud and hoist poor Mac pillory with greater contempt.

Tho by-law granting $90,000 to aid in the construction of the Toronto and Ottawa Railway, by the grouped municipalities of Pick- ering, Reach, Port Perry and of these municipalities, and carried by the handsome majority of 273 votes. Of the six polling sub-divi- sions into which Reach is divided all gave a majority in favor of the by-law except Epsom division which gave a majority of 9 against it. The majorities in favor of the by-lawe were Seagrave 7; Green- bank 5; Utica 50, Manchester 54; and Prince Albert 84 ; making in all 200 from which taking 9, the Epsom majority against the measure, we have the actual majority in Reach in favor of the by-law of 191. In Port Perry the majority in favor of the by-law was 178 and on Scugog 86. Hence the three municipalities Reach, Port Perry, and Scugog gave' a total majority of 405 votesin favor of the measure; but Pickering gave amajority of 132 against, so that the actual majority of the group in favor ot the measure is 273. That a scheme of so much importance to the community should carry is only what might have been expected, it is a scheme in fact which could not fail in commending itself to. mun- icipalities possessed of the intellig- ence of the soveral members of the group and had it not been to allow the opponents of the scheme an op- portunity to air their objections there was not the slightest neces sity for holding any public meet- ing; thé merits of the scheme were self-evident from be first. The vote in Port Perry was 80 near unanimous that only one vote was recorded against and there was considerable tun over tho paternity of that vote. A party being suspect ed of that advers vote stoutly dis. claimed tho paternity of that *'nay." That PortPerry should be a uniton a matter of eo much importance to her future prosperity is only what might be looked for ; but under the circum stances Reach has given the best vote, for a large share of her torri- tory is much less directly interest- ed than that of Port Perry, Reach had been both deceived and che by tho road which they had already subsidized and it is not lo be won- dered at if many of hor people look with a suspicious eye on any rail: way scheme which might present itseis, But tho present scheme i$ just as mach superior to the Whitby 'and Port Perry sgheme as the ad. vocates of the new gche¢mo are superior (0 those of the other in intelligence, honor and reliability. The municipalities concerned may be congratulated on the result of the vote as all of them will be largely gainers by the work should it be constructed on ther proposed route, That the township of Pickering, a wealthy influential township, should kick at the idea of being roped in and made to grant a bonus nolens volens, to a scheme which she had already repudiated, is "only what might be expected ; and if she did squirm when she saw Scugog taking hold of one end of the rope and Port Perry the other which was to rope her ifi to giving aid to this new scheme she did no more than any other municipality would have done under similar circumstances. We most hartily abominate every fea- ture of the grouping clause in our Railway Act it is neither more nor less than a premeditated fraud ou the part of tho legislature at whoso in- stance so tyrannical a clause was ever permitted to disgrace our Statute books and au effort should at once be sult of the late vote will contribute to the best interests-of the township of Pickering as it. will to those of the other municipalities through which this road way pass admits of no reasonable doubt and the com. paratively small majority against the by-law in that township proved | that even the obnoxious grouping | clause would be overlooked rather than hazard the loss of 'that highly important work.

The ditgracetul soencs which have been enacted within ourso called, and it appears mis-called, land ofcivil and religious liberty during the past week make people rub their eyes and ask themselves is this the enlight- enment of the nineteenth century or are we hurrying back to the more than midnight darkness of the Dark Ages, Have we for. feited our rights aud are our liberties only a myth ? "For weeks previous to the late anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne the Orange Breth- ren of Montreal and vicinity. had resolved to! celebrate the occasion by a public proces sion, a something which they hada perfect right to do, and having determined ought on no account to have been driven from their purpose, The Irish Roman Catholic Union of Montreal, who by the by, are allowed to march just as frequently andas openly as they please, to make all the display they choose en Sundays or other days, and wear all the emblems and regalia which fancy may dictate without the slightest molesta~ tion or annoyance from any one, had the insolence to request the Orangeman to re- cind their resolution, forego their procession, not wear either emblem ol galia on the streets and they, the protestants, would not be hurt]; but if they should attempt to walk their lives would not be worth an hours purchase. The Union did not attempt to conceal their purpose they rather "boasted publicly of what they would do if the Orangemen should attempt at display. The Orangemen and other protestants of Mont- real--of Montreal did we say ? of the Dom- inion, of the Empire | must have been fairly bewildered with the magnitude of the im- pertenance, their yielding to such threats can be accounted for on no other principle The Orangemen and other protestants of Montreal are not such milksops as to tremb- lingly lay aside their emblems and regalia and with them that claim to civil and relig- ous liberty which as Britons is their unali- eoable right. Protestants have no desire to trample on the rights or curtail the liberties civil or religious, of Roman Catholics, and that protestant be he who he may who will tremblingly relinquish his rights at the threats of any individual or party is un- worthy of the name he bears. Had the Montreal protestants remained firm and bai their march the chances are that there would bave been neither tumult nor murder, they relinquished all and both tumult and murder followed, and such wag only the natural result ; parties who had the cool im pertinence to ask any man or body ot men to forego His or their rights to satisfv some whim and threaten punish- ment in the event of "No Surrender" are not likely to form a very exalted opinion of the individual or party who under such threats meekly yield all that is demanded. A signal blunder which must never be re- peated has been committed, a false step has been taken which in future must be avoided Roman Catholics can claim all the privileges and rights which protestants can and pro- testants make them welcome to them and would not by word or deed attempt to de- prive them of these. But while they eujoy this freedom thoy ¢an never again with im- punity attempt to dictate to protestants. The Mowatt Government is largely, to blame for this whole calamity.-- That Government had granted a charter of | incorporation to Roman Catholic Institu- ticns, butt when the Orange body were snub- bed and refused the Union thus came to put on airs supposing that they were much better than {Orangemen whom the Govern. ment snubbed with impunity in refusing them a charter. Let us have peace but let us have fair play for even peace may be maintained at more than it is worth. ~ Sunday School Anniversary- * The Prince Albert C. M. Sunday School held their Anniversary on Sunday and Mon- day last. Two excellent sermons were preached on Sunday, the Rev. Mr. Young preaching inthe morning and the Rev. Mr Jamieson in the evening. On Monday the children met in the grove and spent the time in swinging and other healthful pastimes in a way that none but chil dren can and none but children onght.Tea was served inthe basement and here again the childien were first attended to and the sight was a grand one. Some 70 or 80 children healthfal, intelligent, active and well appet- ized by the afterncon's running and play, the sparkling eyes, the pleasant looks, and the cheerful bus not boistrous coversation were not the least attractive features of the afternoon's enjoyment. The grown up fol- Jowed the children in the matter of tea but the number was much less than the | importance of. the occasion demanded; but the company was by no means indifferent either in point of numbers or intelligeneo Tea over the whole company retired to the body of the church to enjoy the music and addresses. Rev. Mr. Young opened pro- ceedings with prayer after which Mr. Wright the superintendent of the school was placed in the chair and after a judicious and well chosen opening address called on the cboir 'who responded in fine style. gi @.Currié, Esq., was the first called to ad. dress us. He gave an excellent, practical address on the importance of Sunday School work aud the necessity of ad comcerge © | teaching by example. The school now sang a fine plece.

At the close of the Aliniveriary services of ; the Prince Albert C. M, Sunday School on Monday evening last Joshua Wright, Hsq., the superintendent of the school put intoithe hands of Mr. J. G. P. Rook a well filled purse asa small token of the respect and esteem in which that gentlemen if. held in the church and neighborhood and #s an ack- nowledgement of the valuable services ren. dered by him as a leading and valued member of the church choir and one who de. votes much valuable time in connection with the same. This presentation was made In capital taste ; we are frequently pained ta witness parties having to run the gantlet of half an hours scraping and bowing and listening to a string of unmeaning, simpering phrases Mr. Wright dispensed with all this coming forward like a man he placed the gift in the hands of the recipient and in a few brief but pointed sentences let him know why the presentation was made. Mr, Rook following the example of the presenter of the purse replied in brief but expressive terms expregsing his appreciation ot the giftand thanking all concérned for their generosity and manifestation of respect and kindly feeling towards him as conveyed by Mr. Wright, Senadits Sunday School Anniversary. The M. E. Sunday School, Port Perry, held their Anniversary on Sunday and Tuesday 15th and 17th inst, On Sunday, services were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Simpson, the pastor of the con- gregation, On Tuesday the school and a goodly num- ber of friends stepped aboard a large and commodious barge for a short excursion on the lake. At 1:30 pm. the party had set out on board their comfortably seated and covered flat boat in tow of the [ittie but plucky " Maple Leaf. " The day was mag. nificent and the boat and her surroundings were in keeping with the weatner The hum and bustle of Port Perty were fast receding ; the concert of busy saw and grist mills, the unloading of boats and barges of their stacks of lumber and the incessant yelling of the train whistles as they rush o2 their errands of commerce are all veing left behind and fhe rush and bustle of the busy village are for the time forgotten. The glassy surface of the placid waters stretch farther to the larboard and starboard of us and the well defined if not to call bold shores get further apart and the young, active, intelligent and cheerful little world aboard that boat appear- od to much advantage and contributed much to the completion of the interesting sceme as we glided slowly on our course. . We are now standing out from " Ambleside " the comfortable and handsome residence of John Adams, Esq. the sightly well appointed buildings crown the rising grounds while his broad and fertile acres of gently rolling land stretch down and kiss the silvery waters off our larboard watch. Here the excursionists are landed and hurry inland to Mr. Aaron Thompson's grove, a truly charming spot where everything is found prepared, tables seats and all conveniences for tea, and also a speakers' stand and suitable seats for all while obliging, active willing hands, Mr. Thompson the proprietor of the property, Mr Stayley and Mr. W. Rodman were hurry- ing up the necessary preparations for prepar- ing tea. Swings and other healthful amuse. ments are speedily prepared and heartily enjoyed by the larger and younger portion of the company. Arrangements for speaking were now set about. The worthy superin- tendent of the school, Mr. W. M. Jones, took the chair and soon had around him a wumerous staff of speakers, an excelleat choir, and an intelligent, orderly company to speak to, Proceedings were opened by prayer, the choir gave a charming piece of music follow- ed by an opening address from the chairman caived. Rev. Mr. Simpson was the next to address us. He handled his subject well, ge his remarks tothe duty, responsibilidy, Tabor and reward of the Sunday School teacher. Rev. Mr, Lent was the next speaker. Hi He dwelt briefly on the great importance of he Sunday School' Tastitutioff," 3 Anothet 'speaker was then heard followed by the Rev. Mr. Eagan, ap the subject of education, its sev jous and the necessity for cultivatitg each division and especially the moral. | Rev. Mr. Douglas was called but declined speaking as it had been announced that tea was prepared and the afternoon was ar ad- vanced.

EE The Twelfth in Port Perry. 1¢ would be difficult to conosive of a more bright and pleasant morning than that of the "Glorious Twelfth" ; the midsummer sun shone forth in all its splendor, and vo- cal nature chimed her song of praise. Flags and Bunting were the order of the early dawn. At quitean early hour the well. known emblems of the brotherhood began to present themselves ; the Orangemenin their diversified regalia according to their degrees in the order ; the Britons in their smart out- fits and True Blues in theip no less attractive garb, The music if not overabundant was good and it soon became manifest that Port Perry was not to be the theatre of demonstration, the several lodges having agreed to join their brethren in South Ontario at Whitby. While they were preparing to go to Whitby not a few set out for CarrwriGnr. This was one of the most pleasant drives which could be desired and cheerful agreeable company lent enchantment to the scene. At quite a dis- tance from Williamsburg the exhilarating sound of martial music came rolling on the morningrbreeze, the lively fifes and drums were next heard and the high fluttering flags It was generally supposed that the torpedoes were | all the honors, .

Towards nightfall the fleet is seen nearing the land the larger vessel almost unmanageable and the smaller craft laboring hard to reach the shore.

The proposed Excursion to Washburn Island on the 24th inst, under the auspices of the United Temprance Association Lodge No. 62 Prince Albert meets with universal favor and will undoubtedly be the Excursion of the season and everything is being done to make it the bestas well as the largest excursion of the season. An active reliable committee has been selected into whore hands the management is confided gvery one of whom isa sufficient guarantee for the from the village poles with the banners of the several lodges gave a life and animation not easily described. On the Agricultural show grounds-the several lodges of Young Britons were drawn up in order and flanked by the Orange brethren, The effect was good, the handsome and becom ing outfits ot the Young Britons and the less attractive but more significant regalia of he Orange Brethren blended in effect and con fidence: After a fair share of marching and a generous supply ot music, dinner was an- nounced. The number who required dinner was very great but mine hosts Bryans 'and Dewart were equal to the task of supplying all witha first class dinner ; besides the ac. commodations in their respective Lotels the former had the town hall for a dining room and the latter had his large hall over the shed. After dinner a little more marching and music and as many as could be accommo dated repaired to the drill shed to hear the addresses and the shed was soon filled in every corner by a highly intelligent and at tentive audience quite a goodly number of the active matrons aud fair daughters of Cartwright being present, James Hyland, Esq., occupied the chair and having summoned his staff of speakers around him, this next and important part of the celepration was proceeded with: _ Addresses were delivered by Revds. Creigh- ton, Seymour, Windell and Harris, The addresses were all of an instructive character and-most appropriate to the occasion bearing as they ought to do on the grand principles of the order under whose auspices the nartieg were then gathered, Everything was conducted in the most orderly and becoming manner ; the speeches '| were short, sharp and pointed aod the atten- tion paid by that large company was most creditable. While nothing was sad or "done calculated to annoy, offend or hurt the feelings of any party or creed, still the man. ner and bearing of all present were such as made it abundantly obvious that no individ ual or party dare interfere to prevent them enjoying that liberty of speech and freedom of action which as British subjects they have a perfect right to claim to their fullest ex. tent, bequeathed as they have been from bleeding sire to son and not to be tampered with or trampled on by any individual or- ganization or party. These men know too well the value "of civil and religous liberty to allow either the one or the other to be assailed with impunity. Se -- A Double-Barreled Shipwreck. On the 15th inst. (ity was pot Saturday the 14th nor Monday 16th) unusual hurry and bustle were observable at our Port Perry Docks and all were on tiptoe watching de. velopm=nts when it soon became apparent | that two vessels were being burridly fitted for sea, the ons & Man-of-War fully equip: ped with arms, smmunition and such stores as are desirable for a somewhat extended cruise.

The Pres. took the chair at 4 p.m Minutes read and on motion of the Sec. the Board resolved itself into committee of the whole for the purpose of making out a prize list for the coming show to beheld at Port Perry on the 20d and 3rd of October A Good prize list has been made amounting to a round sum besides a large amount of discretionary premiums the amonnt of which can't be known at this time.

The sum of $140 in donations speaks well for the liberality of the villagers this amount swells the amount of premioms that a wide and variegated field has beep | opened for them Where they may excercise that ingenuity and dexterity which they have exhibited to so much advantage in pust years.
