Thr Dutaris seve © 1 JAMES BAIRD, cnr EDITOR "PRINCE ALBERT, AUGUST 5, 1869.. | mn eat---------------- THE RICH AND Ttis said fo here in the Big Book that # the rich hi) poor meet together »'-- This may be true of most places, but they seldom see each other in Ottawa. ' Ifa poor man should obtain a dollar under false pre- tences, even though it were to obtain a meal to a perishing family, it would be a thou- sand to one that he would not get two or three years at the Dominion Boarding House at Kingston. But let a swull cheat, defraud and falsify to his heart's coutent and he will either be screened entirely, or, in the event that he cannot be successfully screened, he will be sent comfortably out of the country with his ill-gotten wealth,-- Witness the case of Reffenstein, the default- ng Clerk of the Receiver General's Depart- ment. This immaculate public efficer was in receipt of a salary of $2000 per annum, and precious little work to do forat. Not satisfied however with this amount of in- come, he went to work and supplemented it in the most deliberate manner possible by simply changing figures to guit his honest antentions and pocketing the balancee. This 'want on till the defsulier had cheated the country out of a sum of money varying from ten thousand to one hundred thousand dollars. This 1s doubtless a pretty large margin, bat it is about as near as anything can be got at so tar, as everything possible has been done to cotceal the extent of the guilt and shield the guilty party. This is another example of the reliable nature of very many of our public audits ; the fact is that ihe miserably lazy and capable par- ties who are appointed to the highlyjrespon- sible and somewhat difficult position of Au- ditor, is a source of more mischief and frauds than almost any other which exists. No body of any kind should ever appoint any man as Auditor until it is assuted of his fitness for the position as well by ability as by integrity, and no man should assume that posiion unless he knows that he is folly competent for the task. Ao inefficient Auditor is simply a temptation to villany. The dishonest official very goon measures the capacityjof theAuditor,ar:d then he knows exactly how far and in what direction he may carry his pillage with impunity, Aud thue it goes on, the dishonest rascals cheat- ing the public, and the sleepy or incompe- tent auditors whom the public place there as their sentinels, giving them a handsome pay to guard their terest, are signing ac- counts every day as being correct, while the fact is they know nothing about them, be- ing induced, either from sloth or incompe- tency to pass them over in the happy-go- easy style, and send them along ae they come ; seeming to forget that any Auditor placing his name to a document before he has thoroughly investigated it, is acting o lie. Want of ability to investigate is no « palliation of the crime, for he has no right to assume the office unless he is fully capg- ble to discharge its duties. When the pub- lic finds a document with the Auditor's sig- mature atiached, it is at once taken for grant- ed that all is correct, snd no one dreams of 'farther investigating 11, iu fael one would have a chance to be told to mind his busi- ness if he should attempt it; and thus the villain escapes deteciion. Ou the coutrary when the office of Auditor is plzeed in com- potent and faithful hands, the Audit be- eomes a reality and no farce or fiction, and "the covelonsly inclined official will think twice ere he begins to manipulate his ac. counts, and should he attempt it his career would be eut short. Audit or no audit, 'Rowever,enovgh was found to show that his Reftsnsteinship was mis-appropriating the _people's cash on a large scale, and so glar- . -ing were the defalcations that they can no "Jonger be winked at, and the farce of appre- bension and examination most be gone , through. Bat the guilty party 1s not a poor man, he moves away far up in the higher "walks of life amonget the honorables of the 'day, 80 he must not be touched with un- "washed hands and the vulgar crowd must mot be allowed to stare at him. In order to the law and save the feelings of the "defapliing swell, everything 1s done in a corner and at a time when no one is aware of jt, and the examination a secret one.-- Finding however that the case was a bad "one and that jonger continuance in office, at least, was eafirely out of onlprit was advised to go Jonothan a visit ill the fuss for the | * the question, pad pay Brother blows over. son in $5,000 and his son-in-law $5,000. If this had 10 be paid, it would onlye a part of the spoils ; but the ctances are that a fifth part of it will never be collected. -- So far thus has been a capitally managed bu- siness. There is a leak somewhere. Railway Matters. The subject of the Port Whitby and, Port Perry Railway is again coming to the surface, and is very likely to keep the municipalities alang the proposed track awake for the next couple of months ; and if the vim manifesied at tc meeting beld in Whitby last week be cv indication of what may be expected to follow, there will be some 'bi§ orations ere the campaige is | over, Whatever may be said of the champions of the road they cannot be charged with the slightest symptom] of showing tbe white feather; for no sooner has the enemy made a breach in their breastworks than they are into the gap sword in hand. The first campaign through the municipalities was, to them, a obtgping bonuses to the large amount of $65,000, with a chance of $2,000 more. This amount was then stated to be abund- untly sufficient for every purpose, and the | work was expected to be commenced | forthwith ; but a vital blunder was here committed by the provisional directors, and in place of the road commencing as was expected, the whole thing came within one of being swamped in a law suit.-- They tided over the difficulty however ; but the catastroplie threw $40,000 addi tional stock upon the market. The Com- But before doing so he must | taken $5,000 it must have been that they | go through the form of giving bail to the | laughed at the miserable pittance taken amount of $20,000-- himself in $10,000, his by Draper & Co., one of the parties for whose special benefit the road is being made, and one of the parties who are to get the lion's share of the profit; it could not be at the Dr. who would be foolish to take Stock in an enterprise which he con. ---- siders will not pay, and to which he has already given in way of gratuity (bonus) fully more than be considers the enter prize deserves. We have no objection to Mr. Draper's dofng his best 10 get the road, because be will be a vast gainer by it; but we do object to his bullying and brauding those who may not see fit to help bun in securing bis golden harvest.-- Itis annoying to see him putting on airs and labliog himself a generous, hberal minded philanthropist, because he and bis Company have taken a wretched pittance $5,000 Stock in what be says will be a paying enterprize, besides ex pecting to gain a hundred times that amount in a very few years by the traffi: of the road alone, as he has bound the Company hand and foot to deliver ut hus warehouses and wharf all freight coming over their line, stances of the case outsiders may be led to quite a different conclusion from that which he would have them draw---soms in fact may be wicked enough to assert that sordid avarice has moret to do with the matter than any other principle, and that all bis boasted go-a headativeness is only a cloak to cover bis thirst for the dimes. Some people are ungenerous enough to From all the circum insinuate that previous to the harbor ar- rangement the railway company found Mr. Draper to be a pretty hard case to deal with. Mr. Watson it appears paid quite pany not being willing to take this addi. tional stock among themselves braised up the municipalities to take the greater portion of the deficiency ; asking Whitby town to take $10,000--the township of $10,600. This Stock arrangewent how. ever was regarded with much more sus. picion than the bonuses; in fact so dis tasteful was it, even to the friends of the scheme, that many of them went over to the ranks of the enemy. ven some of the late champions of the road opjosed this second campaign and refused to march another stép. Never niind! the braves are equal to the task ! and few or many they the contest. Reach Council could not see the point and absolutely refused to take Stock ; but iu will carry on order to appease the wrath of the cham. pions they chiseled the West out of their cash and gave their $10,000 to the Com- paay as a peace offering. A report of the proceedings of the weeling on the $10,000 by-law which was held in the town of Whitby on the 27th ult., is now before us as given in a supplement to the Whitby Chwonicle of the 29th uit. From this we find that Dr. Gunn, a late champion of the road, and a provisional director to boot, is decidedly opposed to this tecond demand, and tells the Company aud the people that the by- law elready passed granting $50,000 is $20,000 more than it ought to be, and that ke would not consent to anything further being granted. The Dr. took a retrospect of the movements of the Com. pany since iis orgunization, dwelling with cousidzrable force wpon the many unful- filled promises of the Company, especially wi b regard to the barbor, Mr. Draper followed in i usual strain, pretending to draw companisuns when not the shadow of one existed, . The gentle- man po doubt believed that he was ging the Dr. a clincher when he (Draper) informed the meeting that the Dr. had not taken a dollar of Stock ; but when giving this information, Mr. Draper entirely overlooked 1h: important fact tha the Dr. will have to pay more for the road--should it go on--than Mr. Draper will, Itis supremely ridiculous te hear the Ilarbor Master boasting of bis mis. erable $5,000 of Stock, while if the road only does half the business he asserts that it will do, be will make a clear gain of at least $6000 every year from the traffic of the road. Besides, if there be any truth ia what he says, the Stock is to be a good investment; then what under heaven is he blattiog about 2 « Where is the merit of any one taking Stock while be is at the same time inducing others tp invest assur. ing them that it will pay ? Where is the boasted liberally in one situated as he is taking a poor, paltry, nigardly $5,000 while be is well aware that be will make a clear gain of the harbor alone of more than §6,000 every year, simply from the troffic created by the road ; and should the tewn derive any benefit by the road he will have his share in common with the rest of bis fellow towasmen. But how he can have the cheek to attempt to belittle Dr. Gun or any of his fellow townsmen because they do not see fit to take Stock in a concern of whose paying qualities they entertain strong suspicion but which is going to net him (Draper) a gain of five or six hundred dollars e very month 1s rather laughable. Ju place of taking $5,000 Stock it will pay Mr. Draper to give a for another campaign in order to induce | Whitby §5,000 or §10,000--and Reach | Main Ine the $10,000 voted for the Lven the | dollars, the Council nor the Company Las | a left-handed compliment to Mr. Draper | telling him in plain prose that his word was | not worth much. In our issue of the 22ud ult. we objected to the Councils handing over to the | branch, and even questioned the justice of | the transaction. With this our Port Pury cotemporary finds fault. He say» | that we raise the question of justice with- | out attempting 10 chow that the value of | the maw line would not warrant the altera. tion sought, We contend that the value | of the maiu line has nothing to do witii [ the question at issue. It matters not | thovgh the main line were worth a million any right to"touch the $10,000 except in | building the brauch. | Our cotemporary says: --% We deny | that it is a matter of justice at all, as be- | tween the Last and West." We fully agree with him 1a this, we con | sider that there is no justice in it, but it isa | matter of transparent injustice to attempt {any such diversion of the bonus. A | moments consideration will convince any lone of this. Tt is well known that when, [the Ly-law now sought to be repealed | was first mooted ; the west were nearly all against it, with a large number in the south ard south-east, and not a few in the cen- tre of the township, were opposed to it. The promoters of the scheme like wise tacticians divided the enemies forces by so arranging the boouses as to secure a suf- ficient vote from the west to carry the measure. 'I'bis was by asking $30,000 for the main line and $10,000 for a branch to Uxbridge. The west knowing that they would reap but little advantage frum the main 'live, but that the Lrunch might be of considerable advantage 10 them con- sented on these conditions to support the by law, and it was carried. And now we are told that the $40,000 must be provided for at any rate, and that it will be better to have the $10,600 put to use than to have it remain unemployed, and therefore it will be well to grant it to the wain line, This may all be very plausible ; but such parties seem to forget that the $10,000 are already set apart for a special object and oo une but the parties themselves have line. Thus to turn around end deprive the west of the amount which we by our votes helped them to obtain in lieu of the bound to secure to them, would be an un- warrantable stretch of might over right. ers in the mupicipality had a veice in granting both the amounts.

It is true that the largest Stock holders seldom say anything about it them. selves, but others are eternally boastng for them. There is noone more willing than we sense in continuing the present course, ex- cept to give the dherift and other county officials extra pickings for petforming a task, many of the local intricate details of which they know nothing about, and in order to complicate and destroy with useless routine #nd expense what ought to be a simple, valuable source of incume to the municipality. ares If these things be so ! and who that knows anything of the uncertain, fshufiling, expen- siveWill-o-the- Wisp manner in which these taxes are treated, will deny that they are #03 then it is high time that a change was in- troduced, and that from henceforth each municipality shall have the sole g CAN'T STAND 1T, The Toronto Caban's have taken the pet, have withdrawn their cabs from the streel, and are giving their nage a play spell They say they are determined to resist the EUROPEAN NEWS, The news from Europe since our last is of a cheering nature, the general health of the nations 1s good, their political and com= mercial interests seem 10 get along smooth - ly--the agricultural are far from uéw By-law proposed by the ins ers.

We contend that as far as the taking of stock goes there is not a whit of merit mn it, except perhaps that mernt which snarp business tact 1s entitled to. These gentlemen all tell us that the road will be a paying concern, then wherein does the merit of theirtaking stock consist ? The more stock one takes in a paying con- cern the better lie is ofl. Indeed we are at a loss 10 know why they do not take up all the remaining stock. What is ten or fifteen thousand dollars stock in a profitable specu- lation, and more especially when it secures the the completion of a scheme by which every one of the chief stockholders at Pont Perry will make a clear gain of at 'least fifty or sixty thousand dollars besides their share of the profits arising from the work- ing of the 10ad and from the advance in the value of real property. It would be a very simple matter 10 prove that every farmer in the towuship farming 50 acres of land or over will Lave to pay moie for the road-- should it go on--than any one of the clram- pons or provisional directors will have to pay. The fact is thet all the active promo- eis of the scheme will make a first rate spec out of it.

The Duke of Edinburgh is somewhat nn- fortunate in his Australian visits. On a pre vious visil Le came nearlylatling under the hand of an assassin and had to make a precipitate retreat out of the country, but he cam: ofl honoably and the world rejced 1 his escape; bul in his late trig he has not fared so well. It is tiue that hus late visit to that country was all ghtter and show, aud the boy was so well pleased with the result that he gave away all his play things to his Australian flatterers. Ou his return home he very naturally, as many other boys would under the circumstances, asked Ins ma for a fresh supply. This is all siraight so far; but no sooner do the Australians learn that the boy has been whiniig over the toys, and had claimed the value of them from the poor, over-worked, over-iuxed people of England, than they become indignant, feel ashamed of them- selves aud threaten to throw the trinkets away or return them. They may well feel ashamed at themselves for wheedhing pre- sents of a boy who had nothing of his own to give.
