-dangorous condition of precious Scugog bridge. The florishes of trumpets about ago, led the unsuspecting zens lo boliovo that era now thoy would be driving along an way permanent as tho ovor- lasting vooks, but in place of that they still drive over a series of rot- n planks which at any moment may give way and usher the aston- ishod passer into tho immediate _presenco of tho inflexible Charon whoso boat will be in immediate re- qusition. The scanty earthworks alroady pladed are being cleaned out as fast as tho water can wash thom and there is not yot the fivst appearance of any move towards the new construction. That genius whom the Lights saw poking in the mad of Scugog when tho lute con- tract was floating must have sunk in the mud for nothing has been heard of him since. Of course, if tho Scugogiuns are willing to run all risks and suffer to be cut off from the markets when these markets are at their best wo necd not com- plain, but it would bo rathor awk- ward if wo should find our County Council indicted some fine mornirg and brought in for a big bill of dam- ages' There is some one playing fast and looso both with tho interests of the people of Scugog and with tho funds of the taxpayers of the County. It certainly would be no exaggera- tions to state that the management of this famous bridge affair is one of the greatest and most costly bur- lesques ovor perpetrated on any County. When tondérs wore asked for filling up of tho central section tenderers wero given to understand that the work must bo completed carly in Octobor, 1879. The given timo doing so short, somo four months, for completing so large a job few people would undertake to do it and thoso who did tender had to tender at a very largo figure sce- ing that the work would havo to be rushed through and materials pro- cured at any price. But when the tenders wore all in the Comm'rs took upon themselves to extend the time for another year, but in place of asking tor tenders for the extend- od time and many would have tend- ered for tho longer time if thoy bad known anything of it, the Com- missioners simply told those who bad already tendered that tho old bridge was to be given to tho con- tractor and the time for completion was to be extended for ono year and asked the tenderers on the spur of the moment to modify their tenders to suit the altered circumstances.-- But this was a matter which required some "consideration and the Com- missioners; for somo unexplained causo absolutely refused to ask for new tenders, gavo tho old tenderers a weok to consider, but ere the week bad expired the recve of Port Perry in going to view tho intersting bridge, found as he says, "a man whom he had never scen before poking in the mud not far from the bridgo and. entering into conversa- tion with tho stranger he finally awarded him the contract without tender or anything clse at $7,300.-- 'The roeve of Port Perry afterwards stated to tho County Council that the work would be dono early in tho present yoar but would not be taken off tho hand of the contractor till October when it will have had 'sufficient time to satlle if thero were any settlo toit. But so far from the work being finished there is no visible aign of a boginning. The ratepayers will hold the Council re- ble. away bis publis position as it is ppossiblo for one tho. position of smother, of busiross rendered a | wound fatal which might otherwise have been successfully cured, the prisoner who was tho cause of this risk is. very from being blameless and cannot go unpunished, How- over nothing need be said about the 'merits of the case here it will soon be before the Courts, before an en- tightened and impartinl bench and an unbiased and intelligont jury, lected. Tho public may rost satis- fiod that justice will be done and the the erimo and no further, ing feature in our country's progress. Where are now the big salt, croco- dile tears shed by tho Globe and its echoes over the condition of our Banking institutions. Theso party patriots seized upon a time when our banks were at their lowest and thoy did their littlo best to make but no hope for bottorness could be ontortained until the Grit Govern- mont wero again in power. Now however that these institutions are in a prosperous and still improving veniontly mum, It must be highly weal of the 'country more at heart than party victory tosce the up- ward and onward progress of the groat institutions of the country the genoral condition of all. To Correspondents. " ExciaNae."--Wo troaled on this subject at some length quite recently and do not care much to again pass over the ground. "Exchange" ought to remember that till a comparative- ly recontdato the Americans had no silver dollar of their own but used the Moxican dollar as a unit of ex change with Britain, Now it re- quired 441 of theso dollars to be oqual in value to £100 sterling, or 44 Mexican silver dollars were equal to £1 sterling. But in time the Americans discarded the Moxi- can dollar and coined dollars of thoir own but the silver of the American dollar was loss puro than that of the Mexican, latter, consequently it required 4863 American dollars to be equal in value £100 sterling or 4.86% £1 sterling. That is the American dollar is 9} per cent less valuo than tho old Mexican dollar. We, 'in Canada, somewhat awkwardly, cal- culate our exchange with Britain on the 9% principle, but the Americans calculato on the number of dollars thoy can get £100 sterling for 486§ dollars or in other words when they can pay £100 in Britain with 4863 American dollars thon the exchange between the two countries is at par and we in Canada would say that our exchange was at 109% which amounts exactly to the same thing wo taking the old Moxican dollar as par unit. If the exehango is in our favor then wo get £100 storling for 80 much less than 4863 dollars and if tho exchange is against us we must pay so much more than 486§ dollars for £100 sterling. A------ Grant or no Grant. It appears that a large number if not a majority of tho republican party in tho United States aro tired of republican institutions and are prepared to get rid of them by vot- ing for Grant. Of course it is no business of outsiders if they should drift back to depotism, but it is rather odd that republicans par ox- cellence should be first to seek to overthrow their republican institu- tions by chosing a King. Let them try a third term and that will be their last torm that they will ever have a chance to choose. King Grant would tell them to mind their own business. Of course tho Demo- eras will have sumothing to say ere Grant or any other one.is elocted but if they are outnumbered or out- witted thoy will have to fall into | line. 2 aes "4 Bad and Fatal Accident.

The appointments made by the Mackenzie Government and thoso mado by the present Government differ in this important particular that tho former appointed for life without the slightest regard as to how the duties wero performed, while the appointments of the latter aro only continued so long as the duties of the office are efficiently performed and no longer ; there is no difficulty in finding numerous cor- roborative proofs of this assortion.-- Take tho caso of Tabb for instance, the assistant Inspector of Weights and Moasures for Montreal. An ir- regularity was found in the perfor- mance of tho duties of this officer, an investigation was at onco instituted and whon it was fairly shown that Tabb's duties were not performed with the regularity required by the Govornment and which the country has 'a right to expect, without furthor ado Tobb was dismissed tho sorvico. Ilad such an occuranco takon place undor tho Mackenzie regime it would have been asserted that tho officers under the Tory party had dono no better than that and that the wholo cry was a polit- ical trick and the officer would have been retained no matter how ho served the country. The present government are made of sterner stuff, when they makean appoint ment it is to the performance of tho duties to which they appoint. There arc one or two other asssistant In- spectors of Weights and" Moasures who had bettor mind their businose. ---------------------- Too Bad. Our dear neighbors south of the lakes look on somewhat suspiciously at Canadian rising manufactures and doubtless wish that the N. P. and all its adyocales wero in Patagonia.-- During theMackenzie regimo Ameri- can manufacturers held Canada as an extensive manufacture slaughter house. The plaguy N.P. bas in- terfered with this and our magnan- imous friends begin to gat .alarmed. Listen to the Buston Herald : + "It seems reasonable to expect, it negotia- tions for a reciprocity treaty with the Dominion are too long delayed, that Canad- ian manufactures will have assumed such magnitude as to be able to prevent the adopgjon of any treaty favorable to the United States," Just so Mr. whut is wanted. ------ ~~ ----t Changed His Base.
