MORE BALLOTING. We learn from newspapers from the eily of Gla:gnw (Scotland) that the ballot bas been lately employed in that city in electing the School Board under the new School regime. +The Ballot appears to have answered the purprse admirably, and everythin? went off like a charm. This is so far so good and it would ba a matter for much gratiude if the %lecticns were the only dificul y 5 but we much fear that narrow souled tizli-jackered bigotry amongst the members of the Board may prove a for midable obstacle 10 its successful, harmoe © jous working ; and the unfortunate public school will suffer in proportion to the nar- row mindedness of a majority of the board, should they feel so inclined. The fifteen members who compose the Board for the city consist of 1welve Pro: testants and three Roman Catholics. O! the Protestants th re are five Free Church ~ "uech of Scotland, one a ay Church--what ever hod 3 Soe Pure - means. The ballo's were 20 framed hos 1... miourities might secure a share of the re- resentation at the board, There being tse TEQUTET TON TE DOE eaeh'elector bad fifteen votes and they might cast atl their vofes for one, two or wha ever number of candidates they pleas ed np to fifteen. Suppcse for instunce that thie Unitarian body should find that by uniting their voles upon one candidate they could elect him: the consequence woud be that each elector belonging to that body would cast all his fifteen votes for one wud ihe sume candidate, and the number must be small indeed if they would not elect their man. So with any other dencmination. 'The tree Church migh say we cen. elect five men by giving three votes to each of five candidates, and others would select the number they expected to carry. We regard this as a wise provision in thie law us it a¢'s jus'ly towards minorities who never wou'd have a single represen-a- tive ou the School Board if such a pro- vision Ui not exist, 3. e. if each elector were only einpowered to give one vole to e ch candidae the strong bodies would sqeore all the members. There was cna [feature in the voting papers as returned: which was far from being creditable to 1hat enterprising city.

Not expecting that their ardor and bring them down to their work There were twenty-two nominations, in all Mr. A. S. Hardy being the real nominee on the Grit ticket, and Mr. J.J. Hawkius on ihe conservative. Hardy is a lawyer and Hawkins a merchant. Hawkins has decidedly the best claim to \he constituency from whatever point his claims may be viewed, and it is mors than probable that the electors will take a simi {ar view of the matter and place Hawkine at the head of the poll. It cannot be that the people of South Brant or any other Brant can*have any sympatly with the present Government +f Ontario, their acts cannot tail in condemning them before an er- lightened public. It is needless here to enter intoan analy- sis of their agts, in fact it woo'd be a libel ot: the good judgment of the South Branters 10 suppose that they were ignorant of the many misintes commiited by that govern. ment, or could not appreciate the danger lo the country fom the course they are pur- suing. } The twesly-lw» candidates with their movers and jeconders presented a formid- able array of speaking talent, sixiy-six long winded gentlemen anxious to be let loose upon a cjowd. atandne += vhe wnkies in snow, might well be regarded with seme degree of apprehension.

On a flying visit to our handsome county town the other day, we were much pleased to notice several nnmistakable signs of put- ting on av increased head of steam. The Whitby Agricultural Works occupying the foremost" tank amongst the Agricultural Implement manufactories of the Dominion, give signt of still further incensed activity, and largey extended facilities are being provided, with a view lo meeting more promptly the greatly increasing demands further to a neighboring church in the very severity ot a Lower Canadian win- ter. The father chooses ihe latter snd acsordingly sets off with the infant to the neighboring pariich. Judge of his dston-- ishment however when presenting his child for baptism and registration the priest po- litely informed Lim that he would vot do it so long as he coctinued to resist the the payment of the rack-tax. So the the war goes on with the greatest spirit, the people resisting and the church refus ing her ordinances, Baptism, Communion and Burial to the whole tribe of demur- rers, -------------- een COURTS OF REVISION. Mgnicipal Councils throughout the length Such courts are highly necessary ns well for the as the J. Supp for instance that a party thought Himse!s unfairly assessed and suppose there wepe an court to which he might appeal, the party supposing himself unfairly rated wight weli consiler that the sssessor had cone him a wrong. Under the circum. st uces, ho wever, no such feeling need exist as the Ceurt of Revision is open for all who con=ider themselves over rated or their neighbors under-rated. Ilere the matter is taken entirely out of the bands of the assessor and placed in the bands of the Court so that they decide the matter If they confirm the rate 8 placed by tbe Assessor it shows that the Assessor was correct and the assessed mistaken, and il thie court sustain the appeal it shows that ei her the assessor was or the Court is ; wrongs but no assessor would willingly do au injustice to any one, it can be no benefit or inerest to him and even were he so in- clined he could not do it because he is sworn (or at least declares) to do justice io the best of his knowledge." The posi tion of Assessor is one of considerable diffi*utty and no small responsibly, and to seek to please every cne in assessing would be about as likely of success as the old imbecile had in carrying bis ass over | he water.
