On Saturday last, on the order o the day being called, Mr. Langevin moved 'the adjournment of the House, for the purpose of bringing before it several cases in which the members of the Civil Service were doing election work in the Province of Quebec." Sir John Macdonald said "Officers of the House had been allowed to go to Quebec to take part in tho elec- tions and were now absent from their duties. This was intolerable and he held that the speaker of the House was responsible ina large measure for the absence of these officers, and, until his (Sir John's) statement was denied, he would hold to the view that the Speaker knew of the intended mission of these when they applied for a officers leave of absence." Bat it remained for Mr. Hunting- don--the notorious Seth--to pro- mulgate one of the most damning theories ever put forward on the Seth with a face of copper said "the only question was whether the public service suffered by the absence of ibe officers referred to, and no one floor of any legislative hall. would say that it did." Dr. Tupper took Mr. Copper to task and wound up by asserting that if these officers were not want- ed now they could not be wanted at all, that they were only a burden on the taxpayers and should be dis missed at once. The member for Hastings called the attention of the Iouse to the fact that no fewer than forty session- al clerks are employed at high sal- if not sole duties are to address political docu- ments and write articles to minis. terial papers defuming the Opposi. He would go in for having these idle officers dismissed at once. the notorious Scth in every thing com- mendable, as much as a mountain aries and their chief tion. Mr. Blake, towering over does over a mole hill, frankly ad mitted the position ot civil servants. Only think of it some seven Civil Service two thousand dollars a year in the way of salary and spending tbeir time running round the country week after week spouting Rouge politics. These Civil Service gents have no hesitancy in sponging mag: nificent salaries off the taxpayers while they are going round trying to encourage vicious and corrupt practices yet when the assessors come round and seek to assess their extravagant and easily earned in- come they will set up a howl loud enough to be heard from Gaspe to Windsor and go whining to the courts begging to be relieved from that "blwasted" tax. Theonly care for the idlers is diminish their numbers and half their salaries. The Perfection of Hypocrisy. The Montreal Witness a would-be terribly pious paper can oxhibit as much cant in as small a spaceas any other paper in existence. A fellow named Goff for a consid- eration and with a view of helping the Quebec Rouge Government, raised an unfounded slander of brib- ery and corruption against the Sol- icitor General of the late Govern- ment *of that province and thus through the Solicitor General seck- ing to damage the proupects of the whole party. Every one knew and the Witness was not so stupid but he 100 must have known that the fel- low was only throwing dirt that eould not stick but enough of it might stick for a few days to effect the elections coming on on May 1st. ~The late Solicitor General at once * $70k steps to make his Goffship suffer for his slander, but several other parties wanted Mr. Goff and a per- fect avalancho of capiases was show- "ered upon him until the place got 100 hot to hold bim when be "dug - ont." This spoiled the little game Rouge sympathisers and ex- a ta the Civil Service hacks declaring that they ought to be strictly neutral and that if they were so they would be better suckers sponging off the taxpayers from fifteen hundred to interestedly and uprightly, who will not deviate from the path of duty nor act unfairly in the administra- tion of municipal affairs, no matter what influence may be brought to bear to warp their julgment or gain f| their consent to an unrighteous ex- penditure of the peoples' money. -- At the April meeting of the Munici- pal Council of Port Perry, there were laid at the feet of the council the united, fervant but humble prayers of one hundred of the more influen- tial residents of the village praying the Council to dip their hands into the corporation money chest and extract therefrom money sufficient to furnish a promenade on Beech Street! Beech Street!! O! Jupl- ter! What a request! Who on earth knows anything of Beech Street! The Council not being aware of the existence of any such Street either within or without the corporation would doubtless under ordinary circumstances, have laid the petition under tho table but in deference to the praying one hun- dred the Council placed the matter in the hands of the street improve- ment committee' with instructions to try and discover Beech Street-- if any such street bad an existence any where else than in the prayer of the devotional one hundred. The committee went to their exploratory work with a will and only through determined effort when less perse- vering men would have given up the search in disgust, they discovered away up at the nothern boundary of the corporation, on this side of Seagrave a small gully leading into a swamp hole on the lake shore which answers to the location of the mys- tical Beech Street, but to dignify such with the title of street would be a sad prostitution of the term.-- However the Council have done their duty in the matter, they have established .the fact that such a street has a real existence and this is more than should be asked of them; but to ask them to expend one-cent of the peoples' money in converting tho guiter into an aristo- cratical "promenade" would bea tempting of Providence. Wo are pleased to believe that the good sense of the Council regard the en- tire " promenade" theory as a huge joke; and doubtless the great ma- jority of the petitioners regarded the thickly etarched movement as a farce but were curious to know whether such a street were to be found within the corporation. But even were the Council willing to waste money in converting this gutter into a " promenade" it would not suit the villagers at all, it would be about as near and no less con- venient to the people of Seagrave as to those of Port Perry. A "pro- menade"' may be all right enough where people have more money than they can handle and no need for any of it, but to build a promenade about a day's journey from the business centre of the vil- lage while important streets are so much in need of side walks and other improvements would be the height of folly. However, it may be that even Beech Street's time may come some twenty year's hence; after the wants of more deserving streets havo been properly attended to it will then quite time enough for the back lanes to begin to put on style and arrogate to themselves the position of streets, strut into the Council Chamber and demand dis. tinctions which are denied to legiti- mate streets; in fact it borders on profanity that one hundred full grown men should make such a gutter the subject of their united prayers. -- That War. Britain and Russia still continue to spar and the world locks on in bewilderment wondering what they mean, they both pre- pretend that they would rather not fight but their acts give the lie to their professions : there is no more necessity for their fighting than there is for their turning Turks, but fight they boubtless will and they are now actually spoiling fora fight, especially Britain who is only stealing a march upon her ad- versary until she can be thoroughly prepar- ed, by bringing together everything avail- 'able for war purposes into position, war ships, armaments and stores, artillery, cavalry and jofantry; calling out reserves first and second classes, arming her volunteers for active service, bringing troops from India and hurryiog preparations with feverish excite- | ment and at enormous cost. Hurrying fore ward ships, men and munitions of war to the most convenient spots to be ready to con. _ | centrate their destructive power at the most desirable points'and within a few hours 'notice. * If Russia does not wake up, some of these mornings she will get a rude awak- fenton when Britain will be prepared to dic- 'be' tute torms and by the help of Turkey people, their unhealthy camps her cunning adver- saries can well afford Jto play a waiting game ; every day's delay is greatly to Brit- ain's advantage while every sach delay is little less disastrous to the Russians than a day's hard fighting wou'd be. It is really now or ncver with Russia ; every days delay is fatal to her prospects, That Britain means to fight is beyond all question and that she will fight £0 soon as she gets thoroughly prepared is abundantly obvious unless that Russia backs fairly down, begs her pardon and will hum- bly accept any terms she may dictate. But it may be possible that even Britain may carry preparations a little too far ; it may be all well enough that she take considerable swing in the Mediterranean but she better not be premature with her demonstrations in the Baltic--Germany will likely have something to say in that matter, Actual hostilities would have been entered on weeks ago had Russia 1 een as cunning as her antaz- onist, ber chances then would have been in. finately better in the struggle than they can be now, It is a pity that war, that very perfection of barbarism should still be a necessity where millions of money are wasted, worse than wasted--blown away ia villainous saltpeter while thousands and tens of thousands of worthy, poor, men, women and children in both Britain and Russia are famishing for the necessaries of life, Suppose the theory of * those who make the quarrels being the only ones to fight" were put in practice how precious few aristocratical wars we should bavein the future, The Dunkin Act is going round the country like a plague, entering this community and creating con- fusion, deranging business and creat- ing a world of annoyance but for- tupately like most other pests its existence is brief, for a very short trial is sufficient to convince all of its utter worthlessness to accomplish the object for which it was designed, and that in place of mitigating the ovil ugainst which it was aimed, it only aggravates it to an alarming extent, so much so that any intelli- gent community into which it may be introduced, regret its introduc- tion and embrace the very first op- portunity of having it repealed.-- This act has heen in existence in the county of Ontario since the first of March last but it has been a dead letter, no one attempted to enforce it and it may for aught we know be allowed to run the whole year with- out being enforced, when it will doubtless be repealed and thus avoid a world of confusion and unnecessary expense. Indeed it would be awkward to try to [enforce the law now after entirely disregarding it for the past two months and hotel keep- ers and others had made up their minds that it was not to be enforc- ed. Wehave not a word to utter against those who fought tor the Dunkin Act doubtless they expect- ed that it might possibly do some good, but as it has proved an absolute failure we donot suppose that any one will scek to enforco it or object to its repeal at the earliest oppor. tunity. A An Important Political Contest. The free and independent of the Province of Quebec are this day, May 1st called up to exercise their suffrages under circumstances highly exciting and very peculiar, and it will be more than can reasonably be ex- pected of a people who are only human that the contest will be carried through every where in the most amiable manner; but by a thinking people the contest must be re- garded with unusual Interest. In the first place political party considerations will to a certain extent influence the vote, then the conduct of the Ottawa Government in dar- {ng to twist and manipulate the province to their own personal advantage has to a cer- {ain extent to be resisted and revenged at the ballot boxes, by the electors recording their votes against the tools of the Ottawa Government, But perhaps the main issue will be the vindication of the civil rights and the punishment of the would be tyrants. It certainly would amuse a stranger com- ing amongst us, were he to listen to our wails and groans over bad and unworthy governments if he were to know that ours are responsible governments and that it is the voice of the people that places them in pow- er: A certain de St. Just or unjust had, to the misfortune of that province crept some how or other into the position of Liev..Gov. of that province, and being unfit for that or any other position of authority, became gid: dy from his unnatural elevation and did some fearful stupid things one of which was his dismissing ot the provincial government notwithstanding the fact that that govern. ment had an overwhelming majority of the people's representatives in their favor. This naturally crested a great howl--as it might well be expected to do--and the whole do- winion was taken by surprise,but here again the popular vote comes in the electors have this day an opportunity of telling the usurper how they relish bis bounce. It the majority of the electors say by their votes that St, Just was right in his party hery then there is an end of il; the people then have the best right to judge ; but on the other hand if a majority of the electors con. demn the tryant, then it becomes their duty as a next step to have him driven from his | position at once and for ever, thus teaching governments and governors that thefcannot with impunity tramp on the necks of the Moral Assassins, The base attempt at the moral assassin. ation of some of the leading opposition members by the Toronto Globe and its mis. erable lieutenants the Hamilton Z%mes and London 'tiser has met with its due reward in | $1.0 unan'mous and unreserved condemr a'ion by every newspaper iin the Dominion which has the slightest regard for truth, honor or fair play. The Toronto National is especially severe on the cowards, The National sets out "Bad as was the behaviour ot some of the members, that behaviour seems excusable and even praiseworthy, compared with the | ruffianty conduct of the leading Ministerial } journals. The facts fully warrant us in as serting that the representatives of these | journals at the Capital--by whom inspired we shall not venture to suggest--deliber- ately agreed to send false and slanderous statements to their respective journals for the purpose of injuring their opponents and in the hope of making capital among tem. perance people by charging the leaders' of the opposition with being drunk on the floor of the House. . . . . . Were it not that all other emotions are swallowed up by contempt, one could almost pity the member for North York who was compelled to sit in his place and hear mem. ber after member rise and characterize the statements made in the Globs as whoHy and maliciously*false ; forced to sit still while one atter the other tacitly accused him of the authorship of the slanders, and never once daring to justify or palliate his and his journal's offence against decency and truth, his position was as pitiable as his bitterest enemy could wish, . . . . . One cannot read the wholly untrue statements of the Globe, Advertiser, Times, and other leading reform dailies with refer. ence to the matter without a feeling of dis- gust and loathing." When a press has sunk so low that the in- terests of party ard the desire for govern mental pap will so warp their judgment and and obscure their sense of right that they will trample under foot the best interests' of the country and cause them to seck the moral assassination of every one who dares to expose the political frauds of the party or help to snatch from their grasp the robbed and pillaged money bags, Oartwright Agricultural Society's Spring Show. The above society held their Spring Show for 1878 on Thursday, April 25th. The weather for several days previous had been wet and the prospects for fair weather on the morning of the show were by no means en- couraging but it turned out a most pleasant day, and if the roads were muddy, the mag- nificent appearance of the ficlds with their green mantles, whether of wheat, oats or tender grass gave a satisfaction and pleasure which far more than compensated for any annoyance which the mud gave. The crops in Cartwrightare well forward, well put in and promising highly eatisfac- tory results, and if the se son continue as it has begun a rich reward agsaits the husband- man as a recompense for his toil. As might have been expected Williams- burg was all astir, the people were as busy as bees and about as numerous, all parts of township were well represented, while Bowmanville, Enniskillen, Manvers, Reach and Port Perry added cepsideratly to the numbers present. The extensive accom. modations for men and their rigs were more than occupied, they were crowded, and large numbers of horses had to be stowed away in sheds and yards around the village. «The attentive and obliging hosts, Bryans and Dewart were unremitting in their attentions to the wants of all, both men and horses. -- The dinner tables would have done credit to our best city hotels, if the display was not quite so great, the requisites for furnishing a good substantial dinner were more and better, of course the hostesses and their help deserve the chief praise in this. At- tentive hostlers were in attendance and all placed in their care were well looked after. Mr. Hodgson succesror to Roberts & Price, appears to be quite at home, though his residence in the village has only been of short duration he is well known, however, by reputation as an active honorable busi- ness man ; he wiil doubtless prove an ac- quisition to the village and township. Mr. Holmes is erecting a new establish- ment opposite his present works, the work- shop is pretty well along and he is preparing to build a residence behind, The village seems prosperous and business satisfactory. The showing of the ag pl and machines on the show g ds in place of on the streets as formerly is a decided improvement saving much confusion in the village and displaying the implements and machines to much better advantage, The show grounds were in first.class order and made it agreeable to step around. Amongst the machines on the ground we noticed the Whitby Harvester shown by J. Bryans, Haggart Bros' Royce Reaper shown by Mr. er. In the Mower class we noticed Brown & Paterson's Young Canada and Whiteley's Toronto Mower. This latter was shown by Mr, Taylor, an active, intelligent agent from Cadmus, SEEDERS Masson Manufacturing Co'y's Combined Superior and Dickie & Kennedy's Buckeye. BULKY ©ORSE RAKES. Massay Manufacturing Co'y showed their Sharp's patent and the Masson Munufactur- ing Co'y showed their Galloway. All the hi bited whether seeders, 5 reapers or rakes were really fine Machines and all of them deserved a prize. It can. not fail in being encouraging to farmers to witness the extended and persistent effort put forth with the view of perfecting those machines without which farming operations could now scarcely be carried on, ithe Bylvester Manufacturing Co'y from favorite and excells in that which above all others is a valuable recommendation, being a good foal getter, Gimblet's Donside Champion was also in the lists, Canadian Draught Stallions were very fine, Granby's Young Netherby is a valuable horse, Mahaflie's Young Conteuder is also a superior horse and hard to beat; H. Syl- vester's What's Wanted looked well, The general purpose class had many good representatives--this is a valuable class. Mr. Poland showed a fine animal 1n this class, we did not find his name ; Johnston's Hoble Noble looks grand, is a valuable{horse and will be much sought after. Mr. Laugh- lin's Star ofthe West isa really fine horse ; Morrish's Young Wonderful Lad is a desir able horse for good stock ; Mr. Willcox's Nimble was much praised, In the Carriage class there were only two shown, Mackenzie's Luck's All and Tordiff's Highland Boy. Luck's All was the general favorite and deserved to be so. CATTLE. The show of cattle was limited and not to call first rate but there were some pretty good animals amongst them, PRIZE LIST.

On horses, cattle and implements-- Messrs Ross, Grey, Trewin, Fallis, Hannah and Johnston, There was only one matter connected with the show which appeared awkward, we Tefer to the large number who preferred looking over the fence to coming on the ground, 1t is in every way more comfort- able on the ground and more satisfactory to oll, some may suppose that the small sum of ten cents of entrance money is so trifling as not to be worth their notice and that if the charge! was twice as much they would go in; but even 10 cents each comes to $10 for every hundred and a few hundreds make a sum worth consideration and helps the di- rectors to work the society, and the better the society is wrought the more good will it do. The officers and directors have a world of trouble and receive nothing for their time or labor, they. do all for the benefit of the society and the good ot the community and it is certainly a poor way of recompensing them if parties will not even pay ten cents to come on the grounds and show their interest in the society and their acknowledgment of the services rendered by the officers and Lattimor, Massy & Co's New Castle Harvest.' directors. We know that it is not for the matter of 10 cents that so May keep off the grounds, it must be a want of thought; for did they conceive that their doing #0 was injuring the society and causing the officers and directors to feel that their labors are not appreciated they would not stay off on any consideration. A Grand Meat Market. It is but recently that it was known that meat slaughtered in this country could be delivered fresh and sound in the European markets but since it has been shown to be a id market has been es- blished, pecially in E = for | American and Canadian meat and live cattle The following cargoes were landed at Liver. pool during the week ending April 20th. The steamer 'City of Montreal" landed 59; quarters of beef, 304 quarters of mutton and 704 gnarters ot pork ; the steamer Navada had 3,000 quarters of beef and 4,800 quarters of mutton ; the Britannic had 1,580 quarters of beef and 2,600 quarters of mutton ; the England had 785quarters of beef and 1,888 of mutton , the Sardinian had 2,400 quarters of beef ; 379 live cattle were also landed, This is a pretty good bill for one week, Farady had 299 head of live oxen and the Nepigon had 80 head of live oxen, This is a pretty good bill for one week 6557 quarters of beef 9593 quarters of mut- ton ; 704 quarters of pork and 379 live oxen. The war preparations now being made by;the British has created a great demand for horses and and i i have been issued for the purchase of six thousand horses for army purposes, and naturally the trade in horses suitable for artillery and eavalry service is | brisk. Horse dealers are traveling through Ontario and buying up superior animals for | this purpose. Bix hundred horses left Point | Bt.

Friend after Friend Departs. We regret exceedingly to learn that Mr, Broad and his Interesting family are about to move from Port Perry. Mr. Broad has been a resident of the village for several years do- ing business amongst us with much credit to to himself and satisfaction to the com munity. In business he was prompt, obliging, honor- able and reliable and no more agreeable and comfortable citizens could be found than Mr. Broad and his intelligent jfamily. We under- stand that they are about taking up their re- sidenee In the town of Guelph and going into the manufacture of Soda Water, pop, &c. We congratulate the good folksof Guelph and surroundings on the acquisition and can assure that, entire section of country a gen. erous supply of such temperance drinks as cannot fail to satisfy any community . et te Base Ball --A meeting was held at the Sons' Hall, Bigelow's Block, on the even- ing of the 20th inst, for the purpose of organizing a Base Ball Club, The meeting was opened by appointing Mr. W. Hiscocks chairman, and J. E. Abbott, secretary.-- After the business of organization had been traneacted, the following were elected offi. cers for the season :--President, W. His- cocks; Vice-President, E. Richardson ; Secretary, F. M. Yarnold; Treasurer, L Richardson ; Field Captain, W. Letcher ; Directors, B. Elford, J. A. Sangster and H. Johnson. The veturn match with the Brooklin Club will be played in Brooklin on Queen's Birthday. -- Com. We are pleased to see our youth betaking themselves to the healthful invigorating ex. ercise of Base Ball, The present hope and future prospects of any communily largely concentrate on the youth ot that community; if they are of the right stamp active intelli- gent and wise our hopes are high and our future prospects bright, and in proportion as they excel in these in like proportion do the future prospects brighten. While we are prepared to admit that "it is the mind that makes the body rich" we also know that it requires a sound, vigorous body to fully sus- tain an active, vigorous mind, and as suit: able study tends to the health and vigor of the mind so well directed exercise renders the body healthy, vigorous and active. -------- Port Perry, April 29th 1878. To tie Rev. Jaues Dovaras, Reverend and Dear Sir,--Your connect- ion with us as minister of the Prince Albert and Port Perry Psesbyterian Congregations, being now about to terminate, we cannot allow you to leave without giving expression to our appreciation of your labors among us as a faithful preacher of the gospel. During your ministration we have enjoyed the privilege of hearing the Truth preached earnestly and faithfully, and have felt that the chief end you had in view was to lead sinners to the Saviour and to show how erring and sinful men can be reconciled to a Gracious and Loving Father. We sincerely wish yon every success in the new and vast field of labor to which you are about to proceed, and hope you will have the honor of helping to build up the re- ligious institutions which will be springing up in that distant region and, that you may have the satisfaction of seeing them growing up in that "Righteousness which exalteth a Nation." We have no doubt yon will have trials and difficulties in that vast country, but you wiil always have for your encouragement that cheering promise given by Christ to his disciples when sending them out to preach the gospel "Lo I jam with you always even to the end of the world" and that other pro- mise "He will give his angels charge con- cerning thee to keep thee in all thy ways." We earnestly pray that Heavens blessing may ever cheer you in all your labors and that you may be the means of bringing many souls into the fold of the Redeemer and have them at last as a cause of | rejoicing in that day when He makes up his jewels. We would now take the liberty of tender- ing for your acceptance this purse with its contents believing it will be appreciated by you not for its intrinsic value but for the motives which have prompt:d its present- ation. We would at the same time tender our kind regards to Mrs, Douglas and trust that she may be long spared as a belpmate to you in all your journcyings and a kind mother to your children for whom we would ask God's blessing. Finally we would now commend you and ours to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build youn up and give yon an inheritance among all them who are sanctified, Signed on behalf of members and adher- ents of the congregation.
