Oshawa, Friday, ————_—. MISREPRESENTA- TION. "Whd Vindicator after being convicted in cour hawt issue of misrepresenting the views «af Mr. Brown on the Pacific Railway tries ‘tthis wedk ‘to evaile the issue by. ignoring tthe point altogether. He said Mr.. Brown’ was in favor df the Pacific Railway in February, was opposed to it in April, aad was iin favor of it again in May. We —thewed by quoting the words a tim the wery article in which the Vindi ‘said Mr. Brown was opposed ¢o the Rail- wroad that ‘he was, really in favor of it. The point raised was not whether the Pacific Railway was or was not desirale, but ‘the veracity of the Vindicator in stating that at ‘one time Mr. Brown was in favor of it and at s month or two after opposed to it. We stated that the assertion was “utterly mptruc” and by quotations we proved it, The Vindicator to damage Mr. Brown, misrepreserited him, and in Wednesday's sheet he, in effect, acknowledges his anis- statement by not even attempting a reply, but striking off on matters foreign to the issue he himself raised. But he continues : ‘‘ we intend to take up this Pacific Railway question * ** will the Ruyoguezr follow our example and support its statements of the opinions of Hon. Mr, Brown by extracts of his speeches or writings.” Well, that is cool now and very singular, we have knocked our friend down with a quotation from an ‘arfidle ‘in the Globe which made him Speechiess'and he wants more of it. We will ask in return, will our neighbor pro- ‘mise not to make rash statements without first being sure that they are founded’ on ftretiftwe will ngw and again criticise ‘his outpourings on the Fisheries, Pacific Railway, and Washington Treaty? We renjoy discussing the public questions of the day for the public good—having no ‘personal. interest’ to serve in so doing, anlike the inspirer of the Vindicator—but | We do detest to have the disagreeable duty | dmposed upon us of pointing out to the fpeople where our neighbor—for the sake @ sAvancing the interest of his patron— teqpatestte ethers opinions they do not ihéla, sittements they do not make, and ‘where-a-cdloting is given to events directly . ‘Opposite to that intended: . To have to do this is not agreeable to us nor at all con- genial to our taste. Let us urge the strongest arguments at our command in favor of our cause, but let us feel we are ratating truth as we see it, and then there will be some pleasure in comparing our 1political views with our opponents for the ‘purpose of eliciting the best policy for the country, as such, to pursue. —_—_—_———— TRIAL OF REAPERS. The trial of reapers, in connection with the Whitby and East Whitby Agricultural Society, came. off on the farm of Mr. Tweedie, lot 29, 3rd con., Whitby, on Wednesday last, 26th inst. There were about 2,000. person present, : including several ladies, to witness the match. Seven Modckimes were entered for competition, vis: Johnston's Self-Raker, Wood's Self- Reker, and Buckeye, entered by W. F. Glen Johnston's Self-Raker, by Brown & Patterson ; Jolinston, by Patterson & Bros..; an American machine, the Geo.: Esterlay ; and the Marsh Harvester, by Paxton, Tate & Co. The field chosen for the occasion was @ splendid one ; and the work- done by each machine’ goud, the. judges finding it difficult to decide which was best, and finally decided by the neatness in which the ves amount to be cut by.each machine was one acre. The judges were Messra.

We, that is the Oshawa Fire Brigade, the band of the 34th Ratt,, your seporter, and several others of the sportive vitizens of Oshawa, arrived at the“Oshawa dation on Thursday last about 7:90 o’clock,on our way to attend the third annual Firemen’s Pic-nic to be held at Cobourg. After con- siderable delay we procured our tickets, and boarded atrain on the notorious Gran: Trunk, and started for our destination, arriving ‘there about ten o'clock. We were THE FIREMEN'S PIC-NIC AT COBOURG. met at the Cobourg Station by & portion of the Cobourg Fire Brigade, who escorted us, with the Bowmanville Company, which went down on the same train, to the square in front of the County buildings, where the grand procession was formed. Two fine arches had been erected, one of which deserve especial mention. It was a massive-looking structure, covered with evergteens. Inscribed on the top were the words, ‘“‘Weleome, Brother Riremen,” and down the colmuns the names of the different towns frem which-Fire Brigades ‘had"been invitell to attend. Buttthe most striking feature of the arch—to the eye of (almost as pretty as the Oshawa girls you write about), one sitting onthe ‘top of each of the columns of ‘the arch. The Goddess of Liberty was supported by the Ameri eagle and figs ; Brittanig by. the coat-of-arms and flags. There may have been other decorations ‘on the farch, but your reporter couldn't get further with his inspection than the top of the columns, If we have failéd in giving you @ correct description of this arch, you must blame the beauties wio graced it with their pre- sence. About 11 o'clock the procession formed. In it were companies from the following ‘places: ‘Rochester, ‘Oshawa, Bowmanville, Belleville, Napanee, Lin4- say, Port Hope and Cobourg, each headed by their Brass Bands, occupying places in the procession in the order named, about five hundred in all.. After marching thro’ the principal streets of the town, they pro- ceeded to the grounds of Northumbegland Hall, the residence of Mr. Wm. Kerr, Mayor of Cobourg, where an excellent lunch was provided for all who wished“to partake, free of charge. ‘ After lunch, several amusementa, such dancing, tunning, jumping, ete., were commenced, and participated in by a great number of’ the “ pio-nicists:” After: the games came the mental part of the pro- ceedings. Speeches were delivered by the Mayor of Cobourg, Mr. Kerr, who was appointed Chairman, Mr. Lawrence; the American Consul at Cobourg, Geo. Dor- enjoy themselves amazingly. About five o'clock we started for home, where we ar- tived in good time, none the worse of our day’s pleasure. The Oshawa Brigade presented the finest appearance of any on the greund, with, perhaps, the exception vaf the Rochester Rrigade.

Owing to other gatherings having been advertised for the same evening, the attendance was hardly so good as expect- ed; but all who were present, came away with expressions of great pleasure. The entertainment consisted chiefly of vocal and instrumental music, addresses, read- ings, and recitations, all very suitable, and well rendered by the ladies and gentlemen who ‘took part therein. We hope that for any future gathering of the kind, there will be a published programme, that the painstaking efforts of our friends to get up intellectual ‘treats may be more widely intimated, and thereby secure, as well as they deserve, more generons countenance.

The alam was given, and the Oshawa Fire Brigade, as is usual with them, was quickly on the -spot, rendering their able assistance in extinguishing the fire. In the kiln was about 12,000 feet of basswood lumber, 3,000 feet of Walnut, and 1,000 feet of butternut, amounting in all to about $300 worth, whic! was totally destroyed. This, together ‘with other property destroyed amounting to about $800. Origin of the fire unknown.

Sim,—A writer in 4o-day's Vindicator |: seems to take very much 4o heart the at- tempts which he says are made to ‘‘manu- facture political capital out of Mr. Gibbs Private Business transactions,” and goes on to ask: “‘Isitany of my business, as a Reformer, wliere Mr, Gibbs buys. his wheat or sells his flour,” etc. ‘If I have wheat to sell I take it to the best market I can find, and if Mr. Gibbs will not pay what I think it is worth, I take it some- where else,” etc. ‘If Mr. Gibbs has lowered the wheat market in Oshawa, why does not some Clear Grit merchant raise it by bidding higher:‘than Mr. Gibbs !” Let us sift these words a little. They invite a discussion of Mr. Gibbs’ position amongst us; why not take it up? Private business and politics is the subject. When Mr. Gtbbs was an aspirant for political honors he made no difliculty. in bestowi a thousand pounds or more on the build- ing of a church in Oshawa, and contributed largely to other such objects in the Riding: These were doubtless private acts. Will any man presume to say that they had not a political object 1 Why was this liberality not extended to North Ontario, or Dur- ham, or Victoria, or East York? Because the policy which dictated the act was not benevolence, but personal interest—polit- ical. Such, Mr. Editor, jis the connection which sometimes exists between— Private Business and Politics. i We confess to having something to say on the question of whoat buying, too. For the last six years Mr, Gibbs has ruled the market amongst us in the purchase of produce. During that period he has by his agents repeatedly paid morg on the same day for wheat in Whitby, where there was competition, than he has in Oshawa, where he had no competition. It is at- tributed to him by general consent that he has through his influence in the bank par- lor done everything in his power to do- prive Oshawa of a competing market for produce. It is notorious that mon who have embarked in produce transactions within the period I mention have had the Bank screws put upon them at a moment's notice, anid have been drivep out of the trade—men who stood in| a mu better position than Mr. Gibbs did in 1861. To nse the language of the Exchange, some | few persons have within the time.I speak of tried to ‘‘ Bull” the produce market in Oshawa, but Mr. Gibbs has been the “‘Bear” on it—a character, by-the-bg, which he can act to the life either on or off ‘change. In fine, on the question of wheat buying in this vicinity, the 25th verse ef the Ist chapter of Isaiah correctly represents the man’s position toward us farmers ; and to this unscrupulous man the bastard Refor- mer who writes in the Viniic:tor confesses allegiance. _ Let us now take the question put by the Vindicator's correspondent: ‘Did Mr. Gibbs, as our representative, use his posi- tion as‘such;” &c., ‘that as a merchant he could make money?” As I conceive, Mr. Editor, the duty put upon foreign wheat by our Parliament, was simply colonial in its effects; nobody imagines it was likely to affect the price of wheat in London, Liverpool or New York, but that it was wheat coming in for consum Johns, or Halifax, or Quebec. millers who sold in those mar vantage over the American séller cents a bushel on wheat and_ twenty-five cents a barrel on flour, supposing the wheat | and flour to be of the same quality and cost, Now, if Mr. Gibbs as a miller could buy in the west an inferior quality of wheat at a much reduced price,upon which he would ‘pay a duty of four cents per bushel, equal to a duty of syventoen cents a barre! on the flour made from it, ship that flour to the Eastern Province, where it wonld come into competition with American flour made from the same quality of wheat, with perhaps higher rates of transport, entered’at twenty-five cents duty, and it is manifest that he would still have an advantage of eight cents a barrel over the American seller in the duty alone, to which may be added a probable differ- ence in freight and the offal of the wheat. In this way Mr. Gibbs, with a steady de- mand for flour, could do a lucrative busi- ; but take off that twenty-five cents Amherican flour, and Mr. Gibbs loosens his place in the Eastern markets. If he then goes to the West and buys in- ferior wheat to manufacture for that mar- ket, he entors on the same’ terms as the American, unless there may be some dif- ference in the transport charges. On the other hand he cannot buy superior Cana- dian -wheat, -manufacture|and send it there, and compete with the American, his article, though intrinsically worth has the disadvantage of extra cost. Mr. Gibbs is no fool, He saw the .position in which the repeal of the duty, would place him, and voted the other|way.. There is no doubt on my mind that Mr. Gibbs did use his position as our representative to enable him, as a miller, tqmake money; and 17 1s our business to look after Mr. Gibbs, not because I think such a duty ‘either on or off had, or will have, the slightest effect upon the price of out wheat, —it would require a much higher duty than twenty-five cents to keep out Western No. 2 Glub or such-like inferior grain— but because our representative has prosti- tuted the trust reposed in him to the base purposes of personal gain. _| But is this all? Is this the only ground of complaint his constituents in this Rid- ing have against Mr. Gibbs? Who sup- ported a corrupt ministration in its action in locating thé.

Who supported the payment to Beatty, of York Roads notoriety, of a sum of mouey which courts of law and arbitra. tion refused him? Gibbs.

Eprror,—Mr. Gibbs must not think 4o fool the farmers of this- riding by at- tempting to palm off a duty of four per eent‘on foreign wheat, while we are .con- fronted with a duty of twenty per cent, The Vindicator has been preaching and writing protection with all his might, if this is a sample of it, I think the least attention paid to it the bettgr. He must think there is no protection required for any other branches of trade than the Manufacturing Co,, Joseph Hall Works, and Ceder Dale Factory. They must understand that the agricultural -interest must and will be protected fairly, and as Mr. Gibbs has shown his unwillingness to fairly protect them, we must find some one-else that will. Iam sorry to see out respected member in such an unfortunate mess concerning this wheat business. I would like to vote for him but have to hold the matter under consideration until the matter is cleared up better than this.

One of them went through a blacksmith’s shop by were so much damaged that only the cracked walls are standing.

The ice houses were leavelled nearly to the ground, and trees neaf by stripped of their bark, their branches broken “and life perhaps destroyed. Fuses, cartridges, &c., in profusion were scattereu all over the ground.

Although several families live within 60 feet of the sideof the maga- zine none of them sustained any injury in person. They were howevér considerably alarmed by the pelting of flying bricks against their frame tenements.

Suspension of the Proceedings — A Three Months’ Adjournment, —Consequences of the Delay.—English opinion of the Sait.— A Review of the Circumstances, ¢ Lonvon, Saturday, July 8, 1871. The great trial ag-to the identity of ‘the claimanit to the Tichborne baronetcy” and ‘estates, which has almost engrossed the attention of all classes for some mdfiths, to the exclusion of politics and everything else,has been. adjourned for three months. It was, of course, quite right and proper that the Judge, jury and council should have a holiday, but to all reasonable peo- ple a holiday extending frem the 7th of July to the 7th of November \seems rather too much of a good thing. However, the Chief-Justice was evidently ‘determined not to lose his Jong vacation, and several of the ‘council’ threatened to throw up their briefs if the adjdurmment did not take place, . The def: ts, who are the trustees and guardians of the present infant Baronet, were strongly opposed to an adjournment, and with good reason. If their theory that; the claimant is Arthur Oxton, the son of a Wapping butcher; and not Roger Tichborne, is correct, it is quite clear that the imposter will have three months in which to search fresh particulars about the real Roger, (following the hints supplied by ‘the Solicitor-General’s cross- examination,) and to dress up and rehearse the elaborate fiction by which he hopas to gain so much. I will not go over the ‘ex- don. Nor have [ WHight to anticipate the coursé of justice, and deliver my own personal verdict on ghe case. In fact, the case being only a quarte? began, is clearly . not ripe for judgment, and it would be foolish to attempt to pasy one, when there is so much evidence yet to‘come at which one tan only gticss. But I may itidicate in a few sentences how opinions is swayed over here. In the first place, those who are disposed to regard the claiment as the right man, point to the discrepancies in his appeatance as compared with young Roger before he went to sea, and his entire ignorance. of French, as proofs of his gen- uineness rather than the reverse, since, if he were'an imposter, he woujd ave doubt- less tried to. get up some knowledge »f French, and would have been afraid to .pretend to bea man whose former self he resembled\so little. Again, his, persistent declaration of failing memory, and refusal to attempt to recollect details of the pre- vious life of Roger are also regarded in the same manner. Surely an imposter would have ‘‘ fudged ” more, and made dashes at licite, not Felicite) ; ces of his early life, school books, play-fellows, military educa- tion, and so on, could not have faded so completely from a which, it must. be remembered, can recollect other things very well ; that the particulars mentioned by the claimant are just such as he might have picked up from Roger's servants, while the things he could not tem:-ember are also just tho things they waquid not be likely to know, or, if they had heard them, to make an impression on their minds ; that, with the exceptién of Lad bortie, who ‘was rather a crazy and had a fixed idea some day, and ‘Mr. cousin, the whole "@f ‘ie family, Pe | George Orton, who, the defence say, was | | his true parentage, and after many strange [FronyLondon Correspondence New York Times.) 1 ; — Roger would turn ia cs son, Roger C., would inherit had he sur- vived. As. it was believed that Roger perished in 1853 in the shipwreck of the ship Bella, in which he unquestionably sailed from Rio to New York, his younger brother, Alfred, succeeded, and he dying at the age of twenty-six years left an in- fant who, had not the claimant appeared, would wnobstructedly on arriving at the legal age, have assunied the title and pro- rietorship of- the|. estates, producing 30,000 income. All these facts are not | new to you; but ‘this one is—that the | claimant's father had) an illegitimate child by his cook, Mary Orton, sister of old | the claimant's father, | and by whom the | claimant, under the name of Arthur Orton, | was brought up ! The/boy was ignorant of | vicissitudes, settled in Australia, where he | was found in 1866, under the name of Tom Castro, pursuing the calling of his putative father, a butcher's. Old Lady | Tichborne was of an erratic and unsound | mind, and though’ thirteen years had | transpired without tidings. from her long- lost son, she was monomaniaeal on the subject, and not despairing of his being wards. There was in the family of the-| Tichborne’s a negro, named Bogle, who, } perhaps, alone was in the secret of the i natural son of the claimant's father, who | would be half brother'to the real Roger | C., and like a cunning olf negro as he. is; went to Sydney, and there finding Tom Castro, alias Arthur Orton; revealed ‘to him. the seerct of “his parentage and the situation of the title and estates of Tich- | borne. With this'revelation the mystery disappears, for from Bogle‘and Lady Tich- borne, who was easily persuaded to recog- | nize the claimant as her own son, the claimant acquired his knowledge of the history ef the real Roger, after his six- teenth year, from which time he resided in England, when Bogle was with him almost constantly, and as Bogle and the other servants of the family knew —but very little of Roger’s boyhood in France, we have an explanation of the remarkable fact that the claimant's evidence ‘as to_ his history prior to his sixteenth year is *so lame and unsatisfactory. It is rumored that the defence is so alarmed. at the strength of the plaintiffs’case disclosed on the crogs-exarhination, that they will, on the reassembly of the Court after adjourn- ment, shift their grounds, and attempt to defeat thé claimant as the natural son of | Sir James Tichborne, — oe Tux population of Toronto, under the present consus, is pat down at about seven thousand.
