But the intended immigrant views it in a very different light, and he will think twice ere be casts in his lot with a people whose politiciaid of all shades are according to the statements of the leading journals steeped in bribery and corruption. .

We bope bow- ever that long before apother election takes plage that the Ballo! will he the law of the land; pnd that with the removal of the temptation to bribery this almost uni- versal and eveplasting bowl of corruption at elections may be silenced forever, WHO'S THAT KNOCKING AT THE DOMINION DUOR ? That refractory, somewhat insolent scamp, Prince Elward, who refused to come in, take his supper and goto a confederate bed with the rest of the provinces because his Dominion Grand-ma refused to give him two pieces of pie while his brother and sister provinces get only one, has baen wandering about in the cold ever since. -- He has been observed of late hanging around his Grand-ma's dwelling, bis clothes pretty well scufled and slmost barefoot, doubtless expecting his granny to invite him in ; the old lady wisely deter- mined to let 'him get thoroughly over his pet and she 'was right, for 'he 1s now, hat in hand knocking at the door for admit. tance - Pr 4 ---- THE BANE AND ANTEDOTE, Riel, of murderous, notoriety 18 now con- testing the rey ion of P h Manitoba, with Clarke the Attorney- Gea: eral of that Province andjfigm - present ap- pearances he 1s likely to ar the election and be returned ss a member of the Com- mons of Canada.

Of all the abominations which disgrace Society and put the civilization of the 19th century to shame, the perversion of the should.be honorable position of judge, the judicial 'hapdling o of the wages of in- iquity, is the degrading and most to be deplored, . Where, in fact, could there be an equally. degrading 'sight presented to shuddering horror as that of the would-be judge seated on bis judgment chair, sworn to know no man in his decisions bat to deal out sre landed justice to all withl- out fear or Jos trimming, pandering and petjuring to favor bis friends snd secure the reward of his baseness. The | purity of the bench in all it grades, from the "highest the fowes, is justly regarded as a0 honor (0 any people andthe usjus;. at fagoritism, bis copying, of Pontious Plate, bi etching forth bis ou the isbabitania of the Dominion sre ft The true estimate by|b of the opposite party, he will 'be inclined |.

This was a conteet for the rep-,| | resentation of Pontefract, Mie Childers and Lotd Pollington being the candidates. The utmost quiet, perfect tranquility in fact, prevailed duriog the entire time of polling and the state of the poll or progress of the contest was an entire mystery: 1o all concerned. The complete abseuce of drunkenees, fighting, breaking windews, heads and limbs, as never failed under the |. old method of polling, to take place at Pontetract, was most (disgusting to the roughe" who claim a monopoly of these exhibitions during election times.

At the meeting of the Ontario Presbytery of the C. P.

Mr. Douglas being requested to ex press his mind on the matter stated that he de- sired to bu released from his presenti chaige and that he would prefer to accept of the call from the Pun Hope conyragation. On motion of Rev. Mr. Dawson 1t was agreed 10 relieve Mr. Douglas from hie present charge with « vigw tv hie tians- feirence to the Cobourg Presbytery. 'On metion the Rev., M Dawson wae appointed to preach the Uxbridge Church vacant oi Sabbuih 220d inst, Rev. Mr. Dawson was. on motion, ap pointed modera.or of the Uxbridge church session for the present, The, Sveretary moved; that as Mr. Douglas lias preferred 10 accept the call from the Port" Hope congregation, that no further action be taken with regard to the call from the Prince Abert and Port Perry cungregation, et ele eee A DESIRABLE PREMIUM. The energetic officers of New York State in proof of the great importance to that State of the carrying trade of the west some timo ago oftered a gift of $100,000 to any one who would construct a steamer which could run on canals without injuring their banks. The possibility of constructing auch a steamer, might very well discourage the most sanguine,: but the reward was tempisome and large numbera set them: selves to work 'with a view. 10 accomplish- ing the desired object, and the result is that near'y two hundred competitors may be expected for the $100,000, We learn from the S. A. that at least oneof the competitors has fed to his own satisfaction, he saya that the boat which he has constructed ia the thing exactly that is wante and that ha has overcome the tendency lo injure the eanal banks. | The following is the descrip- tion given of the steam, boat which he has beam, 9 feet 'hold, and has a carrying eapacity 'of 7,000 bushels or 210 tons of wheat.

As a general rule parties whe bave mo reputation to. defend generally etrive if possible to make a few dollars out of what little bogus pretention 10 character they can peim off on an unsuspecting jory.-- What little they can make in way of libel #nit against any one who may tell the truth aboot them is so much clear gain. We have another instance of this ina Juot suit jus decided in Warrington, Eog- and. This was a follow' Clu, a butcher who had by a covelous exciescence of the law institated a libel suit against Todd, the publisher of the Wartington miner. Tt appears that the psper n question had' said that the butcher Had smabbed his wife and that she was not likely to survive. This drove the indignant butcher money' mad and he demanded $100 damages ftom the publtistier or prosecution for libel would follow refusal. ¢ black mail was refused and . suit followed. Mt. Torr, Q. C., snd Mr. Kirby were counsel for ie aintiff; snd Mt. Holker, Q. C., and Mr. Crompion for the defendant. The covetous batcher when pat into the box showed that while he had not stabbed his wife as charged against him they had mace the blo flow preity freely between them ; but the trustworthy butcher swere that his wife was one day washing the back yard, and he called her to come in doers. She refused, and he then shut the door, upon which she ithivet her hand wrist. This accoon'ed for the dieplay of blood bot was not a very likely story, still it wae not contradicted, The virtuous botcher however «id not make a loitune out of it, for when thw case was finished the jury re- tired and after a shor consultation, said they wished 10 give a verdict for the smallest "um that could earry damages. The Judge told thew that they must give definite lamages, and not trouble themeelves with the inw. The Foieman then smd they found for the pluintiff--dumages 40c. Mr. Torr sand after the expression of the opinion by the jury, he should ask his lordship to certify lor conta, Toe Judge: I think that in couse of law this action onght not to have been proceeded with, and | therefore | cannot help you.
