week from to-day will end n contest in the Province io and with it the fate of #t Government and party ; ligent electorato will have iced the fate of our present by either setting them .aside ending their lease of power other four years; and while ie by no means adopt the language Shakespeare "better to endure the 8 we have than fleo to othefs we know not of," we do say the ousting of this Government t of that is not the chief question pith the clector. An unworthy overnment cannot be driven from wer a day toosoon but care should taken that better men are provid d to supply their places. A rose ald just smell as sweet under any her. name than that of rose and if the country is mismanaged itis a matter of no consequence to the atopayers by what name or party lhe fleccers are known, and the great bjoct of tho clectors should be the election of such candidutos as may ibe relied on for cfficient and econo- mical legislation. That the past scord of the Mowat Government thas been such as to warrant their rejection and the rejection of all who would seek to prolong their alo is too obvious to require com- ment. An intelligent electorate have only to take a glance over the past acts of that Government to be- come fully convinced of the fuct that we have had already too much of the Mowat regime and that Mowat and 'his allies cannot be driven from power an hour too soon ; not because they belong to this shade of politics or that but because they have not i raled in the best interests of the Province, have largely increased the expenditure in every direction, have crammed every hole and corner "in the Province with crowds of de. | pendants who draw large salaries from the Provincial chest and give no equivalent for the money receiv- | ed. They havo rendered every | department of legislation unnecess- | _ arily cumbersome unwieldy and | costly. Their rule has been most * mepotestical as far as party is con- cerned; parties outside of the ' charmed ring dare scarcely breathe while Government retainers were " geattered over the length and breadth of the land almost as num- rous as the Egyptian plague frogs, all paid of course, from the public chost. Nearly every change made by the Mowat Government was in the wrong direction, largely in- 'creased the expenditure and intro- . duced any amount of red tape and ircumlocution. No Government ever grasped more tenaciously to the principle "To the victors be- 'long the spoils" and the Province has been made to bleed that the 'wietors might have spoils enough, and while they remembered their help they did not forget themselves in the division of the spoils, Tt is mot surprising that the members of ernmont and all their hired help 1d put forth every possible effort" maintain tho present state of and securo for the" Mowat iment another lease of power, it is not in the interest of the atry that such shoald be the their longer rule would be a lune to the eountry.

There are over thirteen acres and a half to cach person, nearly a horse for every two, three cattle for every four people, three sheep for every two persons and one hog for every threo people. This is certainly not a bad exhibit, County Council. The meeting of the County Coun. cil is appointed for Tuesday 3rd June and if no other action is taken will consequently be in}session on election day. IIon. members may pair off so that their absence will not eifect the ballot. So far as we know {there is not a great deal of important business likely to come before the Council at this time un- less it bein the department of public works, where the Scugog -bridge will form a subject of interesting debate, but there is no denying the fact that the Council will have to 'come down handsomely' this eannot be denied. We bave no desire to transfer any of our Scugog friends to the bottom ot the lake. Neither men nor horses ave so plentiful there that we can afford to let them ex- plore the depths of Lake Scugog.-- We value these things at a pretty high figure and the County would bave a big bill to foot in case of a serious accident taking place on that everlastipg bridge or dear, dear bridgeless. ---- A Change.--It will be learned from our advertising columns of to-day that Mr, J.

The municipal council of Reach met-- pursuant to notice--at the town hall, Man- chester, on Monday 36th inst, Members all present. The minutes of the previons meeting were read and approved, A communication was read from Thomas Coffee setting forth that he had moved to the township of Mara with a view of secur- ing a more plentiful supply of firewood, and having been for sometime in the receipt of municipal charity from Reach be does not consider that Lis removal from the municip. ality should deprive him of further assist. ance from Reach, 2 municipality in which he bas paid taxes for 25 years; he asks thata little moncy be sent on now. On motion the communication was laid on the table. Mr. Dobson introduced and carried through a by-law for appointing overseers of highways and fence viewers. The follow- ing are the names of said officers : 'H Maynard, J McIntyre, Joseph Bryant, R Blight, 8 Netherton, William Parrish, Wm Harrison, John Bryant, John Coates, R Brown, T Coates, Jobn Killpatrick, C Johnston, J R Gillroy, D Smith, G Hayes, C Searles, Wm O Bryant, C Lewis, Wm J Brown, J W Holtby, T Sanley, R W Walker, C Thompson, John McDonald, John Jeffrey, Geo Steel, John Heard, T Graham, T Sadith, F McKercher, A Edgar, Wm Mitchell, T Crozier, E Jones, A Brammy, John Smith, D Christie, E Walker, J Tummonds, J Page, J H Munro, J Hilicon, F Earchman, H T Johnston, T D Croxall, Wm McGregor, F Dobson, J Watson, W Whiticy, W Bear, James Scott, H Horn, J Howsum, J Horn, G Murta, F Walsh, E Acton, G St John, J Doble, W Brown, Jason Stone, Jabes Woon, Jordan Houck, Wm Stoven, R Holdershaw, I Clarkson, James Gibson, T Stephenson, C Rennie, Isaac Clemence, Levi Lock, John Leask, J O'Leary, T E Cragg, N Osborne Wm Love, J W Roach, G White, T Fair, W Mark, J McClintock, E Williams, Albert Williams.

MrE Baker had three ewes worried causing a damage of $18 On motion of Mr Burnett orders were granted as follows :--Mr Dafoe $24.66; Mr Carr $10.66 and Mr Baker $12. Council adjourned for dinner, Council resumed. Mr Mitchell complained of having a ewe worried by dogs and lays the damage at $6.50 x On motion of Mr Burnett an order was granted for $4.33. Mr Hart complained of the defective na. tare of the line fence by.)aw, inasmuch as it fails in providing against parties throwing stones, roots or other rubbish into line fence corners wheroby the fences are damaged and even ran the risk of being burned by mis- chievous parties setting fire to the rubbish. The council promised to look into the matter. A On motion of Mr Dobson the council ad- journed for the purpose of forming a Court of Ravision to revise the roll of grants were to be made he considered that the place he referred to had a prior claim, but if there were to be mo appropriations he would be willing to forego his claim at this time. He had long been a taxpayer in that locality and had been pressing the necessity for improvements on that hill, many pro- mises had been made but little had been done and unless a sufficient graat be made! there would be no use in going on it would only be a waste of public money, z The Reeve stated that the council had made up their minds to make no appropri- ations at this time further than those which were absolutely necessary. Mr Bowles complained of having two ewes killed and some lambs injored by dogs and placed the damage at $11 Lut having secured the wool, $2 was taken off the damage, which reduced it to $9, when on motion of Afr Dobson an order was granted for §6. On motion of Mr McFarlane an order was granted in favor of the Assessor for $90 being ia full of his salary as said Assessor for 1879. Mr Jeffery came before the council com- plaining that pressure is brought to have the east end of the 5th con line from the east side of the Nonquon road to the lake opened out for travel, the opening of which would beagreat injury to him as it would expose his crops to the ravages of cattle grazing along the lake shore, he would ré&quest the council not to consent to the opening of that road. "Mr Spence said the opening of that road was a public convenience, it was the pro- perty of the public and they required its use and it must be opened by some means or other. His place is exposed to the raids of cattle in consequence of its being closed, cattle which have been grazing alohg the lake shore in attempting to return home pass up the cohcession line till they come to Mr'Wheler's when they are dogged back and in their running they pass over his fences and through his crops. Mr, Wheeler was heard ; he denied that cattle were dogged from his place, he did not regard the opening of the road as at all necessary and if the road is opened he may as well give away his place as he could not keep it fenced against caltlo as they could come in from the lake shore when the water is low. Mr. McDonald said that it would be better to prevent cattle from running at large, it would be better for the farmers to give two or three acres for grazing purpose crops destroyed by cattle running at large. Mr. Wheeler said he would buy the road if the Council will sell it. On motion, the Clerk was instructed to notify the Pathmaster, John Jeffery, to open up for travel that part of the 5th con. east of the Nonquon road. On motion of Mr. Dobson, the treasurer was instructed to pay the sum of $120 into the Royal Canadian Bauvk in time to meet the interest falling due July 1st, 1879, on the railway debentures of this township. On motion of Mr. McFarlane $2.13 was grauted to one Haines an indigent. Mr. McFarlane introduced and carried through a by-law to appoint Pound-keepers for this municipality. The following are the officers appointed, viz: 1) Gruer, W White, W Parrish, T Coates, W Allen, G Houck, T Crozier, £ Williams, W McGregor, A Earchman, E Phenix, J Muaro, J Gibson, J Horn, BR Doble, B Pickel, Alex Brown, Jr., and W Tomlinson, Mr. Holman introduced and carried through a by-law authorizing Pathmasters within the corporation to enter upon lot 12 in the 7th con. and take therefrom whatever gravel, stones, &c., they may require for the necessary repairs on the roads under their charge. Mr. Rennie reminded the council of cer- tain appropriations which he has been ask. ing from year to year. The council assured him that his case would be attended to when they went iato spending large sums. Me. Burnett introduced and carried through a by.law making certain alterations in road beats referred to therein. Mr. Stretten complained of the condition of part of the Uxbridge town line and asked that as much labor might be expended on that part of the line as his labor amounts to * The council promised to look. favorably on the matter. On motion of Mr Dobson orders were granted on the Treasurer in favor of Hart & Rawlinson for 811.50 ; D Cragg $1 far an for a culvert, Mongrs s tilt on 'the division of their road beats an the municipality for the year 1879, The Clerk now proceeded to organize the Court by taking the declaration of the several members.

McGILLIVRAY. Uxbridge, May 28, 1879, Putting Him Right. The following letter will be read with much interest by thinking men of whatever shade of politics, Whatever else may be said of the writer no ono we think will dis- pute the fact that he has been the butt of the most unfair criticism and malignant aspersions of deceitful, interested men who would stand by and sce the country go to the dogs without making the faintest whisper if only their friends can retain the reins of power, The following is Senator Macpherson's reply to the Managing Director of the Toronto Globe as published in the Mail of Monday last, To the Honorable George Brown, Managing Director and Editor-in-&hicf of the Toronto Globe : Sin,--In the leading article of the Globe to-duy you surpass yourself as a master of Billingsgate, but I doubt whether such dishes of it as you served this morning can be acceptable on the breakfast tables of the educated and refined amoug the readers of the Globe. You complain of the dreariness of my letter. I can understand its appear. ing dreary and weary to you for it contained nothing more spicy than the truth--dry facts. The discomfitures yon have sustained in your controversies with me upon the ad- ministration of the finances of the Dominion aud of Ontario, have naturally been very galling to one of your arrogant and tyranni. cal nature, 1 have proved from the public records the administrative incapacity and the financial recklussness of the Ministers whom you foisted upon the country, snd haye also shown that so interested are you in saving your minor vicar, Mr Mowat,--minor to Mr. Macker from his merited and impending doom, that you have not scrupled to publish in the Globe false extracts, representing them as true extracts from the public accouats. In my letter which appeared in the Mail of yesterday, I convicted you of having forgotten former rivalrics, and to have for- given discomfitures in journalistic tilts, in which his lance proved more powerful than your own. You ought to be more generous, and you should have rejoiced that a foeman who had proved himself worthy of your steel had obtained an appointment which cir- cumstances had rendered important to him, although its emoluments must seem to you the most paltry pittance. " 1f you are animated by any sentiment less worthy than generosity, banish it, Tarn your mind's eye from your congenial pur- suite, your herds of prize cattle, to the occupation of your former rival, whose rural tastes are akin to your own, and see him engaged in the irksome, toilsome daily routine ofa Post Office--let every unkind feeling vanish in the grateful recollection that your own lot has been in unison with your tastesiand that your lines have fallen in pleasant places. You have referred to the Senate Why do you not publish in the Globe the speech you delivered there on the tariff? It was the only speech that you did deliver in the Sen- ate during the few days of last session that you were present. Your coming was herald-- ed by your friends and by the press. A great oration was promised and the opponents of the National Policy were confident that the force of your reasoning would secure them a moral victory at least, but Ido not think I exaggerate when I say that every one of your friends who heard you was disappoint. ed and lamented that you should have made such an exhibition of yourself, Ifyon think that I have done injustice to you in thus characterizing your great or torial effort, publish the oration and let a discriminating public judge. Let the people read the most cogent &rgaments that you can urge against the National Policy, Let them peruse the most convincing illustrations of its folly that you could conjure np. Let the workingmen read your virnlent attack upon them and let the electors of Centre Toronto see your bitter denunciation of their faithful and respected representative, Mr. Hay. Do pot withhold your great and convincing speech from the readers of the Globe. Who knows but it might convince the country that the National Policy isa great error, and that you might personde the people that the best means of counteracting it would be to give u new lease of power to Mr. Mowat, Rut as you are not likely to succeed in obtaining a renewal of Mr Mowat 8 lease, extend to your friends all the consolation in your power.
