This can be judged with more precision than any of the others; for the extent of the advantages being yet undeveloped, are necessarily estimated from very diflerent stand points. The calcu- fations of profit and loss are based in many instances, more upon desire than upon sober reason, while in others they are controlled entirely by the view taken from some imaginary position which the parties erect for themselves in accordance wilh their leanings for or against the scheme, the advantages of which are con. sequently estimated according to the view presented from said point. This can scarcely be avoided, from the fact that two or three localities will be immensely bene- fited by the road, while others{may be more or less logally injured. But the paying out aspect is made so plain by its pro- moters "that he who runs may read." [lither. to we carefully avoided saying anything either pro or con of any of the schemes as they came up, from the fact that the mat- ter was pever really before us, and conse- quently we would have been travelling out of our record had we anticipated the work of either Directors or Council, and given gratuitous advice where it was fot requir- ed. The ephemeral existence of the pre- vious by-law prevented us from saying anything either for or against it, but we felt then as we do now that it was the very best route that could have been se- lected, not perhaps the easiest to coustruct but decidedly the most suitable for the township, if not for the County. One station between Prince Albert and Man. chester would have served both places-- ft is trueas a willage Manchester would bave had the best of the bargain, but that was her good fortune being more advan- tageously situated. From this point branches could easily have been carried to Uxbridge and other points west and north. This would have been the main station on the road, and the two villages would doubtless soon have crept towards each other, so that ere long they would have formed only one large village or town. -- ul the last amount is less than half what it was the first year. The property of Reach cannot be valued at less than $1,000,000 another year, hence the rate necessary to raise $4,400, the first payment, will be ex- actly 44 cents on the $100, ratable property, or $4,40 on the $1000 but this rate will diminish by 12 vents every year ualil the 20th year, the rate will only be $2,12 on $1000, or 21 cents and 2 mills per $100, even should the property of the township not increase a single dollar in value, which is not a very liksly circumstance. We can't see how the By-law will work in the event of the Company failing to ob- tain 'an extension of their charter, so as to enable them 10 build the proposed branch ; in such a case the By-law about to be submitted would require to be modified considerably, inasmuch as 1t provides for raising $40,000, but only $30,000,it it goes to the main line, and provided the exten- sion were refused, $30,000 woud be all that would be paid over to the company. -- The By-law might have been got up so as to nght itself in view to this event-- however, the chances are that the power of extension will be granted. The third col ing the which will require to be raised year by year in order to pay off the principal and interest of the Debentures within 20 years as stipulated in the By-Law. The anrerest on the sinking fund as it accumulates will make up thedifference. As an additional $2000sinking fund is deposited every year,s0 an additional $120 interest will be odlained every year. Thus in 1870, $120 the inter- est on $2000, would be due to the township --in 1871, $240, the interest on $4000 would be due--in 1872 $360, the interest on $600 would be due and so on. The amoant gained by interest and the amount to be collected each year being added together will make the annual $4400 as required by the By-Law. Of the local advantages likely to arise from the* projected road, Poit Perry will, dont tless, reap the chief harvest, and Man- chester will come next, and how closeMan- chester will come upon Port Perry in point of advantage depends entirely upon where the branches strike the main line. Wa regard the station at Prince Albert as of little or no consequence, and as far as the village is concerned, we would have been quite as well without a station, seeing that the terminus at Port Perry will ab- sorb all the northern trade, and the station at Manchester will cook the west and sooth: No one is to blame for this ; our geographi- cal p accounts for it, and we can't However there is no use | ing over spilled milk," that by-law has been repealed and another substituted whose features are considerably changed, whether for better or worse remains to be seen. The by.law about to be submitted provides for a station either east dr south of Prince Albert, about a quarter of a mile out of the village, either way. There is to be another station one concession south of Manchester on the toad. These two stations with the terminus at Port Perry are all that are provdeds for in Reach. The new by-law also provides for a branch from Usbridge whichis a decided im- provement on the late by-law, as it will bave a tendency to hurry on this branch, a certain amount of cash being provided for giving it a start. Where this branch may "meet the main line will be a matter for af- ter consideration, and will most depend on the will of the people of Uxbridge. An- other in the conditions of the vew by-law is that instead of $40,000 being asked for the main lie as avas done in the past, $30,000 is asked for the main line, and $10,000 when three miles of the pro- posed Uxbridge branch bas progressed so far towards completion. = As for the payments the by-law provides at of the face of the debentures shall be see why we should oppose the scheme, even supposing it should not help our vil- lage, specially, if it oan be shown to be a general good, and we think it can. The question is, will it benefit the township asa whole to an amount equal to that asked for to aid in us construction. In alluding to the benefits to be conferred by the prop road, we do not include Port Perry ; for we maintain that the road will benefit that vil- lage one Hundred. thousand doliare to start with ; but the landed property holders of the villaga of Port: Perry will have to fork over at least half that amount ere the whistle blows. Leaving the local advantages of both Manchester and Port Perry aside, we believe that the tract will be worth to the township at large all that is asked for to as- sist in making it. The large influx of peo- ple during ite construction will create a cap- ital market for all that the farmer can raise, and for which he will be likely to realize considerably higher prices than he would otherwise do. It will not only secure our present trade, butit will draw an increase from a distance, and by increasing our trade brings honor or shame, but the way in which he discharges the duties b position, whatever it may be. The day labourer hurpliag hore from bis daily toil, faithfully discharged the duties of the day, is as worthy of respect as the greatest ruler in the land, and much more worthy than the untaithful would be aristocrat, the decorated nobody. --_---------- ANOTHER FIGHT, Now that the writ has been issued for the election of a successor toMr. Howland, late representative of West York, in the House 3 the ell paign ma be said to be fairly under weigh. The two candidates in the field, are Mr. A. Wright, and Mr. W. S. Howland, brother of the late member. Mr. Wright 1 a decided Refor- mer, but it is somewhat diffieunlt-to find ovg what Mr. Howland is. When first heard from he was a Terrible Relormer, he was next found with his face toward the opposite camp ; and now he has got sufliciently near to that camp that he can afford to style himself « independent' ; but the full equiv- alent of his term, politicially speaking, would be rather a nice pointto discover. Pbilosophically speaking there 1s a point between the earth and the moon in which paint if abody were placed the attraction of the earth and that of the moon would exer- cise an equal influence on the body in quea- tion and hold it independent or stationary until some slight circumstance should hap- pen to disturb the equilibrinm, when the 1n- dependent body would immediately dash into which ever planet offered the greatest amount of attraction. We hope that this is not the sense in which Mr. Howland is in- pendent. With regard to the coming fight, it mat- ters not how hard it may be if the weapons ate only legitimate ; on the other hand if the almighty dollar is to be the weapon em- ployed, the election is only a corse ; it were better that we had no election, and that a despot bore the sway. --_----------t------ « YOUR SINS WILL FIND YOU OUT." = The chief of the Hamilton police and his deputy have been caught at last and have received their ¢¢ walking paper." Recorder Strat ¢ belled the cat' the other night and ded (the dismissal of the chief and his deputy. The matter was re- ferred to the eity Council, who in turn, re- commended 1t tothe notice of the Police commissioners, these in turn recommended the immediate dismissal of the chief and his Sub. Not satisfied with being kicked out of doors, the chief slaked around till he got a few names to a pelition to the City Council to have a re-hearing of the case. This was placed in the hands of the Mayor, who, notwithstanding his knowledge of the Justize of the dismissal, the d tion' of the Council, the suggestion of the Recorder, and the authority of the Police commissioners, still the worthy mayordriv- ing matters with all the promptitude and force of his great granny whines over it and tries every means to have the mutter siaved off, or re-opened. But it is no go, the chief and his sub must fall,and it would not be at -all surprising though they should drag the civio chief down with them. It is expeot- ed that the police magisirale will be put on the dry docks so soon as the charges which are now preparing against him are ready to bring forward. A third will then be added to the list of the faithful, and if his mayor- ship prefers it he may join the squad, and complete the double tear. Howie the prosecutor, not satisfied with turning-the delinquints to the street, has it will add to the number of our p 1 id and quently i our home consumption, snd therefore make bet- ter markets for dairy produce and other commodities for which the markets are now rather shm. The increase of permanent residents will cause parties to build houses and otherwise accumulate property around them fo a greater or less extent, for which properly, as a matter of course, they will the | have to pay taxes, and every additional dol- lar of ratable property which is created am- ongst us lessens by so much the rate on the whole township, not on the railwey deben= Pp against the chief which will bring him before a jury in a court of law. ' The action on this case is in striking contrast with otbers which could easily be named, where men in power have trans- gressed overy law of right and justice, have practised and given countenance to the basest acts of corruption, still because they are chiels, or something in the aristo- oratic line,the whole batch of aristocratlings) illegally dragging him oft ty prisom.

SUPREMACY OF L.\W, A few months ago a large: amount of United States bonds were stolern from one Benminghoff, residing in Pennsylvania, and a reward of $10000 was offered for their re- covery or the apprehension ¢ f the guilty parties ; and giving as full a duscription of the robbers as possible.

Saw Mrs. Cardiner on Colton's property -- heard her use most abusive language and say that she would go on to Colten's place aud stay as long as she pleased. He be- lieved she was there for the purpose © picking berries. E, Sweetman, son of tha former witness, sworn. Sail Gardiner's children were picking berries in Colton's bush wher he (witness) and Colin came upon them.-- Colton told them to be off hus premises which they at once did, but shoitly after their mother came and abused Colton in the worst way, lifting her fist to his noso in a most provoking manner. Mr. Wright eshed how often she did this? Witness sail about a thousand times; she said she would pick berries in spite of Colton. This was the essential part of the case for the prosecution.' Mis. Ramns was the only witnoes called for the defence. Said sho had gone with Mrs. Gardner on purpose to pick berrios, and while going along the road they met Gardner's children coming, who said that Colton had put them out of his bush and threatened to shoot them. Mrs. Gardner toplied she would seq if he would shoot her, and sho an | witness passed on towards the bush, Mrs. Garduer taking the lead a few paces. Hoard sharp words between Colton and Mrs. Gardner, Colton called her fearful names and raised hs gun to strike ber; witness interfered and admonished him not try it. Saw Mrs. Gardner in Coiton's bush only a rod or so from the fence. This was the esential partof the evidence for the de- fence. / ; * Capt. Billings watched the case for 'the prosecution, and W. Willcox, Esq., for the defence. | Of course when the case was taken up at all the magisfates could not well get round ils, rushing into law, because wife of the one passed over the fence into) the neighbor's bush and gather- ed a handful of berries.

To the Editor of the Ontario Observers Sir,--In looking over the columns of your valvablo journal of the 23rd inst. 1 wae quite surprised to find that some miegnided to stir up strife 1n thie peacefol ranke of the brotherhood. Heo states "that Mr. Thomp~ son of the Royal Hotel, Cannington, met with a great' disappointment in not baving the whole District to prepare dinner for st: 374 cents per man on the 13th July, ac~ cording to a resolution passe! atthe Die- trict Meeting held in Cancinglon." . Now 1 emphatically deny that any such resolu= tion was passed. Each and everyman had a perfect right to go wherever he considered that*he would be best served. Mr. Thomp= son whined ever since the 13th aver aw imaginary wrong. I do not think he or the writer of that report could have been at the meeting otherwise they would know batter than to circulate such nonsense. I think he (Thompson) must have used Old Rye to the head of the pereon who wrote that false article, and who styles himselt « an Orangeman-" I must say ho takes a very great interestin Mr. Thompson's business and deserves a leather medal for making such a valiant attempt to wri'e about some- thing of which knows nothing.
