/ BIRT The attention of the ratepayers ot Port Perry is now directed to a va-' the rest ave soon hipped riety of schemes demanding their immediate action for or against, and iL becomes every ratepayer, every one interested in the swability of the willage, to think and uct indepeud-| ently for the best interest ofthe many--not the aggrandizement of the few. Tbe first question being ressed on the attontion of the vil- agers is the Hilvay extension, a que:t'on which ought to be last, as it is of less importance to the rate- yers than any of the other sub- Jjeets now claiming the consideration of the villagers. Phat the extension of the railway will injure the trade of Port Perry to a greater or less extent can admit of little or no doubt, and none know that better than Brother Holden & Co. who are now in such a sweat to get the road extended. Tt is true that they come bere and tell us that the extension will not cut off any trade from Port Perry, that the farmers of Mariposa, Ops and that region of country will come to Port Perry as formerly and sell their grain. But when the same men were ir-1he county ot Victoria, in Marriposa, Ops and Lindsay the only inducement they attempted to hold out to the farmers was that so soon as the extension is built tl ey will have as good a market for their grain -in Lindsay as they can have in Port Perry and consequent ly will not have to drise to Port ony to sell their grain. In fact the missionaries had nothing else to offer as an inducement to these fur- mers to vote for the $85,000 bonus. If Port Perry vote a single dollar to the extension of the road they are much greater simp'etons than we supposed them to be. Some may ask why it is that Holden who owns a lot in Port Porry is so anxious to have the village give a bonus to the extension. This, we think, is easily explained. Mr Holden and the "inner ring' as the Shen ff designates them purchased the railway stock at a few cents on the dollar and hold a olaim againsy the road of over three hund- red thousand dollars--they own two of the locomotives and charge the Company $6,000 a year for the nse of these and compound the interest of the claim which they hold against the road at 9 per cent half yearly. -- 'This is making money fast if ever it is to be realized and the only way in which it can possibly be realized is to extend this road to meet the Victoria road and seil out to that compary. Where then will be the glowing promises as to cheap freights and & thousand and one glittering bargains, which are re- ally net worth the paper on which they are written. ut if ono dares to oppose the throwing of a few more thousands, in the way of a bonns, into the hands of a fow knowing ones he will be hounded down as a marplot, a grumbler, unpatriotic, and a lot of such foolish names especially when coming from the lipsof a pack of mercenaries who feel disappointed and 'annoyed at being disturbed in their little game of fleecing the public ; and not only they but their bired howlors, their subsidized patriots, their paid help unite in trying to run the party down who dares to warn the toiling ones of the. trap being set for them, of the means being used to filch them of their money. We have all due respect for thoke who speak and act from honest convictions without fee or reward, believing that they are right; but we have no patience with your bought-over, subsidized bawlers who parade their patriotism, their liberality and large mindedness 80 long as the subsidy is continued, but so soon as the pay is stopped they either stand neural or change sides ; such creatures will advocate any thing, however imiquitous, at s0 much an hour. If farther--rail- way -- accommodation----men want that which would prove most ad- vantageous to this and the neighbor- ing municipalities, let them turn their attention to the branch to Uxbridge, this would supply an im- portant link and give the advantage of more direct communication with the West of the county and even with the'city of Toronto, With the Cart- wright bridge built and a branch railway to Uxbridge how many people in Cartwright or Manvers or f that 'whole section of country would ever think of going to Toron- to by way of Bowmanville when they could come hens and take the cars direct to Toroute by way of .

There is every liklihood of the Cartwright bridge being commenced at asearly a day as possible and when once commencsd it will be driven through as rapidly as circum- stances will allow, this will be a work of very great importance to several municipalities. But the construction of this bridge will ab- sorb a large share of the loose change of the vile, and after providing for other necessaries there won't be much to fool away upon a more than doubtful extension. The crambs which are likely to fall into "Neddy's" mouth from the extension' furce will cause "Neddy's"" rag Lo be devoted to the advocacy of the extension ; but any other bur- lesque where pickings are expected will find "Neddy 4 compliant tool in its advocacy. The direction of the pickings will wars indicate the track on which "Neddy" may be found. ' We understand that a caucus of se- lected ones known to be friendly was held in the basement of the Town Hall last evening when it was agreed to submit a by-law to the ratepayers giving a bonus of $15,000 to the ex- tension under certain somewhat rigid conditions.

Mr. BIGELOW was next called: * He said he had been giving this matter some consid. eration ana looks upon the scheme with some favor, Whilst the proposed extension would less cut off part of the trade we now get, still at the same time he considers that Port Perry would reap certain adyanta- ges from the extension. The corporation, he considers, has other important enterprises Port Perry but to this whole county, it will on the railway will benefit largely by it.

We have in this and we are provided with no protection event might cause the destruction of a large portion of the property of the village by fire. pressing necessity. If the Corporation were provided with such how they cath look for anything of the sort. selves with so large a debt and the extension of the road should fail in building up a large trade the result would be that the increased debt would crush the corporation. The time was when he advocated large bonuses when these were necessary but rail ways are matters of dollars and cents, the question is what will- they bring? If the corporation should | give a bonus to the extension they would expect to have the advantage of a reduction in the tariff of freight; he finds that the Co'y have promised to-carrygrain from Lind. say to Whitby--a distance of 46 miles for 4 ots a bus. for wheat, while 3 cts per bus. are ofthe P.W.&P.P.R. in the direction of The Reeve of the municipality was called The town of Whitby was strongly and numerously represented i amongst others we noticed the M.P.P. for South Ontario, the Mayor ot the town, the County Registrar, Messrs, C.

The representatives of the Chronicle and The Chairman having organized the meet- ing read over the names of the requisitionists and called on them tocome forward and talk over the matter, expressing freely their views as to the advisability or otherwise of granting aid to the extension. So that the deputation from Whitby may learn the minds ot the Mr. WM. JONES said that he had been led to expect that the deputation from Whitby would explain their intentions as to the course they intend to pursue, the amount of assistance they expected to get from Port Perry, and what advantages Port Perry was When this information has been given it will be quite soon enough for the ratepayers of Port Mr. NOTT coincided with the remarks of Mr Jones and is anxious to know what the company expects of Port Perry, and then the people will be in a position to deal with the] Mr. HOLDEN was now called upon, but his eternal big I's and immortal We's brs tled out so thick and fast that no one hearing him could avoid the conclusion that the speaker, however anxious he might be to extend the railway, was much more anxious "We will build," and " our road" were interlarded so thickly that they became nauseating in the extreme ; but there is no use in enlarging for whoever has heard Mr Holden ranting railway once know exactly his speech on this occasion, the only variation from his usual rant being a plentiful coating of vituperation and per- sonal abuse of the parly who happens to cross his path. Mr Cunningham, of Lindsay, placed him in his true position and drew a just picture of the man who goes around the country blowing his own trumpet 'and and worship the notorious Managing Direc-- ter--a man who has not capacity enough to claiming its attention and requiring its means ; there is the bridge from Scngog to Cartwright, a work of the utmost importance not only to the people of Cartwright and prove of much benefit to the railway and the railway Coy ought to give a bonus towards M. | the construction of that bridge as ii¢ traffic | manufactures, But he must say that so far He felt certain that if this bridge was once built the township of Cartwright would become desirous of being attached to this county ; a move is already being made to have the ours. , This bridge, he said, should be pro- it will 1equire to build this bridge is not known, but he copsiders that it will take There is village a large amount of valualle property against the ravages of fire, an unfortunate while the villagers would be powerless to overcome or even check its progress, having no engine to combat the fire.

He had heard some one say that the Co'y expects $25,000 from Port Perry, but he cannot see Provided the corporation would saddle them bringing in the raw material which cannot otherwise come in. The speaker congratulated Mr. Bigelow on his thoroughly practical speech and agrees with him as to the justice gf lower- ing the freight of grain from Port Pi ; bar- ley is to be taken from Lindsay to Whitby for 3} cts. a bus., and he thinks it should Be taken from Port Perry to Whitby for 2 and this would give Port Perry an advantage of one cent a bus over Lindsay,and a tarmér when he has his load on will go a long way for a cent a bushel, it is surprising how far they will go.-- Port Perry should have the advantage fof one cert a bushel over Lindsay and Seagrave-- A Voice--Dou't forget the lumber. Mr DRAPER does not consider himself capa- ble of speaking on the lumber question. Grain is his forte. He does not consider that Ux- bridge will ever be able tp compete with Port Perry in the purchase of grain. The speaker here took avother of his flights, copying Bro- ther Holden in his self-glorification. He did not leave his subject any worse than he got it, bat it was as much as a bargain, MR. PERRY was the next on hand. He set out by congratulating those prescut upon the condition and future prospects of Port Perry, and said without stretching the term he might call them feliow ci | congeatu- lates the"people of Port Perry on fhe progress they have made within a few years and con- he now saw around him. The speaker drifted into the rut with the others and combated th assertion that a terminus was to be: preferred] to a way station, and fnstanges Collingwood, Barrie, aud other places similarly situated = After rounding a few periods on the accu of his observations on raflway 'matters 1 sveaker went on to ask, do people Perry imagine if this roads not rt or it it were not extended at all do they sip- pose that the Victoria will not go on? iftl other day that .ctelligence bas been redeived that Rice Lewis & Son, of Toronto, has chides taken the completion of that road from Lind. say to Kinmonnt, and within twelve manths that road will be runningand a branch may be carried through Mariposa, Brock and perhaps to Wick ; he advises the giving every encour agement to the extension and proposes that a joint committee of the Company End' the villagers be inted to make as to terms. . { MR. W M. JONES being repeatedly callpd took the platform and made a thorouglily practical speech statng. that with the interests of Port Perry aad ite surroundings he was thoroughly identified, and the best in- terests of the people of Port Perry and of th who come to do business in the village, will always have his sympathy, and he will be ever ready to forward those interests to the utmost of his ability ; he will not lightly by any act his do anything to work against these interest§. If he conceived that this extension would productive of good to the people of this locality it would receive his support in pro portion to the benefit likely to be conferred The asscrtions of the advocates of the scheme as to its great advantages to the manufactur. ing interests areall vory fine and were it so would be highly desirable, but such results do not necessarily follow ; he is aware of the great importance of manufactures' fo any, locality or country and would be pleased to sce them florish in our village, and he would not hesitate to give his support to a lonus for the encouragement and buildinz up of he has faiiod to hear 4 single argument made use of by the advocates of the ext. msivn which woilld idduce him to give 'much to- wards building that extension ; in fact, as well remarked by Mr Bigelow, the villagers have other matters to grapple with, other matters which in his (Mr Jones") opinion are of more immediate interest to the village snd | to this entire locality than the extension of the road and these must be attended to with- out delay ; he had reference to the Cart. wright bridge and the fire enginc. The construction of this bridge is of the utmost importance not only to Port Perry but to the townships of Camitwright and Manvers opening as it will do a short and convenient transit for trade between these townships and Port Perry, a trade mutually advantage-- ous to the people of these townships and to Port Perry, and which it is the interest of all fo efiltivate. The erection cf this bridge will cost a largeamount of money ; but it will be a good investment as it will give accom. modaticn to a large section of country which now do business with this village at unscc- | essary inconvenience, while very many who, do not now do business with us would do so if this bridge were builtas it would bring them within a reasonable distanec ot the villag:; so thut under the circumstances he docs not .see it to be the duty of Port ,Perry to spend their money in assisting the people of Whitby to the hinderance of their own improve- ments ; doubtless it would be to the advant- age of Whitby fowm to have the extension, but whether it would be to the advantage of this section of country has yet te be scen.-- He would not for a moment stand in the way of public improvements and would be will- ing to assist them not only morally but financially if the enterprise @i*scrved it, and he will be prepared to consider this exten sion matter 80 soon as the Company has brought down their proposals telling us what they will doand how much they want. But under all circumstaces provisions must be made for the bridge asd fire engine as referred to by Mr Bigelow, * Mr DRAPER aid the proper way is for this meeting to decide by vote whether or not they sant the road extended from Port Perry, snd when thatis deeded it will be time enough to arrange the terms.

Walter's driver refused to run again unless he got the heat; to this tho Judges would uot consent and Walter was taken oft the ice, The Judges then decided the race in favor of Mack and the stake holder banded over the stakes ac- cordingly. In the meantine Walter's owner was hunting up law in the matter and was advised to go and forbid the stake holder giving up the stakes ; but the stake holder had given up the stakes some time before he was notified to hold on to them, and Walter's owner sued the stake holder for the amount of the stakes.
