The worthy messenger--smiling legitlators, but more of that anon. In all conscience one represent- from ear tocear--had a busy time of ' ative from each municipality within the new members and escorting them to their seats. But hush! here comes the Clerk, book in hand and looking as sharp as a steel trap and on the shortest notice had the members elect changed to members de facto. Being now properly con- stituted the first business of the House is the clection of Speaker and the new mode of eclection-- election by ballot without previous nomination--seemed to puzzle hon. members. The effort of some try- ing lo look magnificent in order to secure a ballot was simply excruciat ing, and ihe cavalier style in which greenies handled their ballots would almost lead one to suppose that the fate of an Emperor was in the bal- ance and that his throne bung on these ballots. However the balloting went on, the first was a sort of skirmish, Messrs. Grabam and Bickell being the only two who had more than a scattering vote, the former had 13 and the latter 7. The second ballot was led by Graham 12, Bickell 9, Dr. Ray 5 and Feasby 4. = The third ballot was another scatterer Graham getting only 12 and Bickell 6. The fourth ballot brought Graham 14, and the fifth brought him 18 and being more than half the council ! this elected the Warden. The Warden elect was now con- ducted to the chair and Mr. Gillespie, the retiring Warden, took the de- claration of the new Warden. Mr. Graham now returned thanks for the honor conferred on him, craved the indulgence of the council, promised to perform his duties to the best of his ability and hoped that the busi- ness of the year may be satisfactory to the members and profitable to the county at large. On motion the ballot was now taken for a committee to strike the standing committees. Mr. Wright now gave notice that on to-morrow he would introduce a by-law to appoint County Auditoes. On motion the Warden left the chair for half an hour to give the committee time to report. The Warden resumed the chair and the committee reported as follows :-- Fixaxce--Miller, Gillespie, Dr. Bickell, Smith (Scott) and Christie, Epvoarion--Wright, Hodder, McPherson, Cunningham and Smith (E. W.) Roaps asp Bringes--Rowland, McRae Parker, Ray, Dobson, Barnard and Brethour. Couxty ProperTy-- Bruce, Feasby, Mother- sill, Smith (W. W.) O'Leary, Footer and Campbell.

We don't speak disparingly of hon. members individually, but we suy that the unwieldy crowd tend to retard rath- or than hasten legislation. They {are doubtless 33 men of whom any County or Province might well feol proud, men who would do credit to any community, but the very fact of their being good men 1s an argu- ment against their all being sent there as an absolute waste of good material. The idea of one munici- pality sending say a Reeve and a Rae, fourth deputy reeve to swell the crowd smacks strongly of a super- numerary host whose presunce is really not required and who for a varioty of reasons would be much batter at homo. We do not say that hon. members are not worth more than the remuueration roceived,that is if they had elbow room and could all get profitably around the legis- lation of the county, but this is im~- possible so that the supernumeraries are more ornamental than useful, -- We do not pretend for a moment Lo deny that the members of our coun- ty council are not man for man,equal in every respect to the members of our Local 'Legislature, and the ser- vices rendered by the former are no loss valuablethan those rendered by '|the latter, notwithstanding that the + former got onl y $2 per day for led first, second, third and perhaps a it greeting the old and welcoming | the county ought to be enough, sixicen such men as County Councils are mude of would be sufficient and more than sufficient for all the legis lation required in this or any other county.

While there is no reason why the representative should bo ham- pered in his action stili it would be better if it were so arranged that any important measure intended to be brought before any session of the County Council should be made known to the County Clerk at least one month previous to the meeting of council when the several subjects to be brought up should be publish- in the several newspapers--as news items--- at least three weeks previous to the time of the council's meeting when the councils of the several minor municipalities could meet and discuss the several subjects proposed when the representatives of the several municipalities could be advised by his fellow councilors how he should voto on the several subjects to be brought forward and no subject of much importance should come before any sgssion un- less one month's notice had been given of the intention to "introduce its Reeve who shall represent the muni It need not necessarily be the cipality at the County Council, a majority of the council ought to have the privilege of saying whether it shall be the Reeve or whichever '| other member of council they pre- ferred to represent the municipality at the County Council board so that whether it may be the Reeve or any other member of council who is elected by the council to attend the County Council and if that member do not vote in the interest of the County then at' the next meeting of the County Council, he could Le left at home and another representa tive sent. Previous to each session of the County Council the Councils of the several minor municipalities could decide which one of them: solves should represent the munici pality at the next meeting of the County Council ; this would infuse a life and vigor into our muni- cipal legislation to which it is now a stranger and add largely to the vim and dispatch of the proceedings of our Counties' Councils while at the same time it would reduce the cost to one third of what it nowis. All of us admit the pressing hecessity for increased economy in €very de partment of the public sjeiiiun and while in municipal government there is little that can be termed ex travagance, and there is consequent- ly less ruom for eutting in this than in any other departments, still a considerable saving might be effect. od, and by applying the knife here our sturdy yeoman would set a worthy example before our local and dominion parliaments and could demand of them to follow the ex- ample thus cannot; be that the present f our counties councils will 'be allowed to pass without some hon, member moving in a matter of so much importance to every county amd thus set an ex- ample to other legislative bodies where the necessity for retrench. ment is one hundred fold greater than it is in our counties. et ® 'How the Money Goes.

Criminal Justice! yes, criminal enough, . a ---- dear knows, but where the justice comes in Men's Pea Jackets from $2.60 is not quite so casily determined. The total of this precious document is $10,882. Our dear Reynolds figures for $1,628 as, part of his salary, and our dearer Faiewell shoulders $1,739 of it as part of his emolu- ments. Our magnificent Clerk of the Peace who might be more appropriately styled Minister of War if one is to judge from the amount he lays claim to; he and his trappings figure up to $1,458. The printing bill amounts to $406 devided as follows: --Chronicle $252, Gazette $66, Standard $61, Gleaner $19, Reformer $5. Witnesses in criminal cases figure up to $1173 and our jail expenses absorb $2560. -- Such gorgeous amounts soon creep up to something handsome. Of course the gov- ernment pays upwards of 43 per cent, of the total amount, but the taxpayers have to foot the bill after all. We have given only a few of the items, but quite enough to show how the wind blows. We have also before us a detailed state- ment of the general receipts and expenditure of the County from June Ist till December 31st, 1878, that is for the last seven months of the year 1878. This document foots up $57,104. Of course part of the criminal justice account is included in the above. In interest alone we have paid over $1000. Under the head salaries we have $1863. -- Contingencies are put down for $1778.-- Then we have $1633 charged to County property. The orders from the adjourned sessions amounted to $5,031. The Education nccount amounts to $14,~ 260. The $29,000 expended in retiring corporation paper swells the amount. We discounted $26,000 and retired $29,000; the former being a receipt and the latter an ex- penditure swelled the total to something enormous--we had almost said frightful-- when it is considered that the audit is for 7 months only, months, as given in the audit :-- Higgins, Chronicle «.veee vars eens. $12 50 87 50 12 59 72 00 33 60 u . sarees sere BS 50 Mundy, Standard " Pemberton, Guardian. .

Our gencrously magnanimous Railway Company appear determined to add insult to injury in their dealings with the people of Reach, Parties going south by train and going on at any of the Reach stations are fined--the fine is ovir 16 per cent at the Manchester station with the option of having the fine refunded upon their presenting themselves at the office at Whitby and cast- ing themsalves on the mercy of the officials there. Parties going aboard at the Man- chester station pay 70 cents to get to Whitby (the same as is charged from Port Perry to Whitby) and they are furnished with a ticket «good for 10 cents"--the amount of the fine --on presentation of which they are entitled to receive the 10 cents overcharged at Man- chester, It is thus that our fair-dealing railway company would seek. to pauperize Reach travel. Suppose a lady going to Whitby get aboard at the Manchester station she is charged 70 cents and a ticket is plac- ed in her hand "good for 10 cents" which she will be entitled to recover ob presenta~ tion of (he ticket at the office at Whitby. -- On arriving at Whitby the lady steps out, in the midst of rain jt may be, and is kept hanging around till all that are giving money are attended. foy.she 'hen ticket in hand, presents herself at the office, Official, © What do you want?"

It may be that she will rather lose 10 cents than goin to collect it; she has to Choose between the shame and annoyance of collecting it or lose the fine; she must be defrauded out of ten cents or treated asa Pauper, The whole thing is a transparent fraud and should not be tolerated for a single day.

In the first place they manifested a disposition for fair play in conferring honor where it was due. of the slightest manifestation of political bias was a most pleasing feature in the election ; the result of each ballot plainly showed that politics had nothing to do with the selection, We feel fully satisfied and we believe that all who are acquainted with Mr. Graham are satisfied that neither the Council nor the County will have any cause to regret the selection made, Tlie entire absence An Appeal--We are informed tha Hon, T.
