'Government bas at cient * courage 2d up : } eT Alteir finul rec- Assembly of the sevoral encies throughout tho Pro- of course the elections place on Thursday, Juno 'that six weeks from to day o the fate of the Mowat nment. Whatever may be oe of this constituency or of , we think that there can be no 'manner of doubt as to tho fate of the J nt Government. To sup- any other issue would be to ppose that the electors of the Pro- winco of Ontario have no longer any regard for officient, profitablo legis- tion or the economical handling of the public funds. Our Constitu- tion wisely provides that at stated periods our representatives shall ro turn to their constituents and place in their hands tho trust confided to them--in the case of tho Local Leg- _ islature at the end of every four years, and in that of the Dominion five years, It is cxpected that the Topresentatives who occupied seats the past four years will be able to show that their course throughout 'the term has been in the best inter- e518, not of this man or of that, of this party or of that, but of the Pro vince in general and of his constitu= ents in particular; that his_ voice has been raised on the side of right, that he has unitormly ranged him- self on the side of wise and economi. cal legislation no matter by whom such might be introduced ; that his constant aim has been the greatest good to the greatest number. If he has discharged bis duties faithfully and efficiently then be is an clligible candidate for the renewal of that confidence reposed in him at the provious election ; but even then his claim would be in no way superior "to other candidates in whom the constituents could rely for a faithtul and efficient discharge of the duties. Bat it the ropresentative has not been all that could be desired of dim, if he has been unfaithful to his trust, though be may not have sanc. tioned if he has even tolerated im- - proper legislation or the extravagant expeaditure of the public funds, if be has hung by men or party to the injury or neglect of the general interests and the good of his consti- tuents, then he really is not eligible as a candidate for the further repre- sentation. of the people, and the electors would not be innocent in renewing their confidence in any 'such represontative. Their doing 80 would be in offect offering a pre- ~ mium to breach of trust, encouraging unfaithfalness in office; it would be sapping the very foundations of re- sponsible government and trampling the principal and almost only means ven us of manifesting our disap- tion of and adequately punish worthy, representatives. The ment of such is not a matter our own caprice, it is de- of us as lovers of good gov- J as defenders of the great ious principles of responsi- le government, as acting not alone arselves but for tho vast body "in which wo discharge confided in ns; for the is simply a-trusy confided o, for the faithful discharge ge ; and no elector can will give his vote Gs J 'we are taxed fo their ranintenance. The'subsidy of $1,333,660 which this Province draws every year from the Dominion is taxed tor by the Dominion Gov- ernment. This subsidy with the amount drawn from our public do- main is also the property of the people, and these with the amount of savings of by gone days, but this is now sadly reduced, form the source from which our Provin- cial Logislature draw the funds for the maintenance of Provinsial affairs, and if these continue to be wasted as thoy have been during the reign of the Mowat Government, in addition to our Dominion taxes, we will have to put cur hands into our pockets or Provincial taxes as well. We would not insult the intstrigonge of our readers by pointing out that with which they must all be famili- av, the shameful expenditure of the now expiring Government. We may however give a few figures to satisfy those of our read. ers who may not not have given the matter much attention and from which they may see that whoever may be trusted with the reins of Government in the next Parliament it would never do to allow Mr. Mow- at or any member of his Government to touch them again. We will only give one or two instances of waste simply to show tho course in which the Mowat Government has been drifting and from which it may be inferred whither they will drift if allowed another term. In the matter of Civil Government and legislation combined the cost to the Provinee for the past year was over $400 every day, and the admin istration of Justice cost the Province over $342 every day for the past year. If these items are not suffici- ent of themselves to cause the tax- payers to investigate the matter and demand a remedy, they must be more reckless of their own interests than we supposed thom to be. Good News. A full staff of survoyors has just gone out to Goderich to look over the route for the proposed Goderich ard Ottawa Ruilway, and parties most capable of judging are decided in the opinion that a comparatively short time will carry it through. The line will doubtless pass through Port Perry or its immediate neigh- borhood. Starting at Goderich, it will ifit is desired, tap the Kincar- dine branch of the Grey & Bruce about 25 miles from Goderich. It may run along this branch about 25 miles to Palmerston, to the main line of the Grey & Bruce, and pro- ceed on the main line about 30 miles to Fergus, or if not going round to Palmerston, by building a connec- tion from the branch to the main line from 8 to 10 miles, it will shorten the distance to Fergus by/12 or 15 miles. From Fergns to Or- angeville will be about 25 miles more. Except the 25 miles west of Goderich there will be little more building to Orangeville, except lay-/ ing down an additional rail on the narrow Guages. From Orangeville less than 60 miles will bring the road to Port Perry, passing throngh Newmarket and Uxbridge. There can be little difficalty in building a road on this route, and it is expected that it will be this length within a couple of years, completed equipped and.xgnning. When the track js surveyed the exact route will be known, and much anxiety will be manifested in the progress of the work as it will Le of the greatest advantage not alone to this section of country, but to the whole Province; itis really a ity. The conyections with Toronto, Ham- ilton, &e., will be generously sup- plied by the several linus it will oross in its progress; but Toronto will not have the privilege of thwarting this scheme as it did the past. Toronto will find it to its ad- vantage to adopt a principle a little more generous than is usual with it, "throwing asprat to catch a whale." Her cunning tactics are being under stood, and should she continuo her |sprat throwing she will find that the whales will come slow; her sprats x will 'be' thrown back at her. t to the f It will bo seen from tho above that tho N.

Lindsay, Whitby, and Port Hope are well situated for works, and should be up and doing, Toronto must look to her laurels if she intends to be first in the field. It must not be forgotten that Port Hope and Whitby especially save cost in freight of the ore and hove an equal ad- vautage of the lake shore. 'Toronto's chief advantage is as a distributing point. The above is clipped from a late issue of the Toronto National. 'We are pleased to know that that which is given above as only a " rumor" is now an accomplished fact, for Mr. Major and a com- pany of American capitalists went out from here on Monday last, and are going to set about «t once in erecting smelting works by the charcoal process. They are getting the timber off 10,000 acres of the Public Lands as an encouragement to the enterprise. They intend going extensively into the smelting, they have an abundance of cash, and are thoroughly skilled in the several processes. With such men as Messrs. Major, Trounce; Greene, &c., backed by skilled and weaity parties from the States the complete success of this important en- terprise may be regarded as a foregone cone clusion, It is fortuaate for the Province that the mineral wealth of that now impor- tant region of country fell into the hands of: men ot energy and push, whose activity and business capacity are alike advantageous to themselves and to the entire section of country in which they reside, Mr, J.

The name, pedigree and past career of the latest candidate for the assassination of the Czar of all the Russians have now become matters of history. St. Peresssure, April 18,--Solovieft is the son of a groom in the household of the Grand Dutchess Catharine. After leaving Bt. Petersburg University he became a teacher. He first fell under the noice of the authorities in course of inquiries into Social. istic intrignes, He disappeared during the inquiries, and was not heard off until he made his attempt on the Czar's life. It would be difficult to consider a case so desperate as to warrant the crime of assass- ination still there are conditions of society which render such crimes less repugnant if not exceedingly popular when the phrase "Killing no Murder! mey be Berlously utter. edand even accepted by some as a forlorne hope. If anything more than another could mitigate the crime, or at least account for its presence in any community the semi- barbarous rule of the Russian empire would supply that pretext Assassination is simply a barbarous mode of avenging wrong in high places and when a nation is governed on barbarous principles it is not to be wonder- ed at when the oppressed make use of bar- barous modes of retaliation, Lonpox, April 18.--A St. Petersburg des- patch states that the Russian journals have, been forbidden to make further men. tion of Soloviefl's atteinpt ou the life of the r, .

The Spring Show of the Reach, Port Perry and Scugog Agricultural Society was held at Manchester on Tuesday, 22nd inst. The day was charming and everything promised fair for a successful show. ground was plentifuly stocked with decidedly the best machines and implements ever shown in the county, Machines were pre. sent from Paris, Toronto, Brantford, Whitby, Oshawa, Enniskillen, Newcastle, Port Perry, Reach, &c. and a finer lot of machines and im] lements could scarcely be collected any- where. From the Brown & Paterson Manufactur-- ing Co'y's works, Whitby, the Young Canada Mower and Brown's Whitby Harvester were shown, From the Joseph Hall Works, Oshawa, the Combined Champion, the Single Champion and the.Champion Mowers were shown by Mr. D. Carmichael. Mr. D Urquhart showed the Kirby No. 3, the Kirby Single Reaper and the Kirby Mower. The Masey Harvoster, from Newcastle, the Maxwell! Harvester from Paris, Mr. Walker show ud Seeders and Rakes from the Masson Works, Oshawa. The Toronto Mower was also shown, There was no end to the dis play of machines of the very first quality and nd we time and space columns might be well occupied in discussing the several important points in the above machines; but to be fully appreciated these points must be inspected ; the active agents were not slow in describing the merits of their several machines, Many of the machines were not entered for competition, Mr.D. Urqubart showed a handsome convenient truck of the Wisner manufacture, : Several choice Plows and a fine Gang Plow were shown from the Sylvester Works Enniskillen, The Paxton, Tait & Co's Works showed a Gang Plow, it is really a fine implement. Mr? Swan made a good display, he showed a splendid wagon, several sets of capital iron Harrows and a scuffler.-- Mr. J. B. Lazier showed Grain Cradles, Barley Forks &c. A superior land Roller was shown by Mr, Watson, Mr, W, C. Heard showed a stylish Buggy, he also showed fine Iron Harrows. In examining the display of machines and implements one is forcibly struck with the rapid strides towards perfection made in the manufacture of our agricultural implements and machines ; there is no other department of our manufactures in which competition is 80 koenly at work or where mechanical skill has shown to so good advantage: These superior mechanical agencies have done well in removing much of the more severe toil of agricultural pursuits and to develop the science of farming. The very sharp com- petition now existing in the manufacture of such implements places these machines and implements in the hands of farmers. at low figures and leave the margin of profit to the manufacturers very small indeed. There is no other class to which the country is more indebted than to our agricultural im. P , 88 without their skill farming operations could be caried on to little advantage or profit., In the live stock and implements there were many animals in the former and articles in the latter on exhibition that were not entered for competition, Tn the class cattle there were several fine, animals, A. Earchman showed a beauty of a Durham Bull, he is really a fine animal, J. Graham also showed a fine animal in this class. In the two year old Durhams R. Dobson showed a choice animal, T. Coates too sliowed a fine oue, The display of yearling Durhams was grand ; the President of the Society showed toy boentien: _ L_ Burnett showed a fine one | Earchman also showed a superior animal in this class In the Durham Cows J. Bryant showed a splendid animal. Thos. Coates had also a fine animal in this class, T. Contes' 3 year old Durham cow is a fice gpe. In the grado class there Were many good animals. A. Brown had a fine grade bull on the ground but it was not entered. Duncan Christie's bull is a beauty, The yearling grade bull showed by him was also good. William Real's cow is very fino, she isa high grade. odo - In the class borses the show was not as 'extensive as we have seen it, in the heavy horse class, very many of this class baving been sold out of the country, F.

Can there be any truth in the statement of the Globe's Ottawa correspondent that a clergyman wrote Mr. Oliver, M.P., setting forth that the Canadian Policy will increase his outlay by no less a sum than $200 per annum. There must be some terrible stretching somewbere. The clergyman would certainly not stretch on purpose to get a fling at the NP. ; and it cannot be that Mr. Oliver would, for M.P's, never do; so that the onus of proof will rest with his correspondentship. The clergyman cannot bo charged with the stretcher, for" it would be an admission on his part that he pays more for his ** water than his corn" ; neither can it be supposed that an MP. would be so silly as to listen to 'any such nonsense, « Our gpecial cotrespondent" will dcubtless have to foot the bill, © | : Ladies--Corrigan & Campbell invite your attention to their special notice in this .

BEI i.e -oe_--_' Look Our ror Bap Biuis.--The Star says --An admirably executed counterfeit upon the Dominion bank$l note, Toronto issue, was yesterday detected in the Deputy Receiver. Generals office in this city, With the ex- ception of one little detail the bad note was 80 cleverly executed as almost to force the conviction that it was printed from the origi- nel and genuine plate, The way in which it was detected was by the defect referred to, the quality of the paper, which was thin and uneven in feeling, having evidently been submitted to some process with acids to give it an old and genuiue look. Besides the red igure numbers of the bill are slim and of a darker red than the genuine figures, which are also much more plum in shape. We un- derstand that the couaterfeits are all upon the bills payable in Toronto, known as the " D" issue. The note-number figures in the genuine notes Toronto issue are 'red, those in the Montreal issue blue, and those in the Halifax and St, John are black, A remembrance of this may be of service when scanning a doubtful note. ---- Licenses.
