CI ron ment of the Dominion-ef Canada| : a | 11 PORT PERRY, MAY 3, 1877. Farce. i s The End of the ; ing scene in the Burlesque at Ottawa of? pt dh of ton i.

McKenzie, the great political sham, is head and front of the offend: ers, but his slavish, miserable follow- ing who sit with eyes rhut and touths open ready to swallow all the rubbish he offers them and to vote as be orders them without daring to ask why, these, we say, are little less guilty than McKenzie himself. From the opening ot the session to its close the House had a much greater resemblance to a bear garden than a legislative ball and the country was paying thousands of dollars ever day for theslim sutis= faction of affording hon. members un opportunity of exercising their vituperative powers and prolong an expensive farce, alike injurious to public morals and the best interests of the country abroad. What have the committee rooms been but verit- .able schools for scandal and the worst feature of the whole was that the scandal was well merited. Take the * Northern Railway investigation for instance who can investigate that transaction withont a blush of shame and having his confidence in the honesty of public men shaken tv ite Very centre. Who ean' regard Mr. MeKenze's abominable Steel Rail tricks and quibbles by which the toiling rate- poyers were defrauded out of at least « miilion of dollars, in any oth light than in that of political dis- honesty, incompetance and cheek, und the dummies who voted him through are little Jess guilty than Le. Take again McKenzie's contract developments by which the tax-pay- ers have been made to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for which no value has been received further than political sapport to the McKenzie ring. Bntibe chicanery connected with the "Independence of Parlia- ment' comedy caps the climax. A large portion of McKenzie's fellow-- ing, or voting machines, held seats in the House to which they had no more constitutional claim than they had to the throne of Russia; but no matter, they eat there from day to day drawing their pay and voting McKenzie through thick and thin.-- When the political culprits were found out and exposed and had sub- jected themselves to the penalty at- tached to such crimes, which by the "find all the informa- po tign they veguire in our following : I "we confined onr-vemurks to the pay increased from year to year, mad ire Yop cference directly or in- y to the payment of the in: ! [terest coupons attached to the de. Veitares and Jvhich ure cut off year by year as they bevome due and are paid. The amount of debeutres due at the end of the first year, accord- ing to the division in the by-law, is at 6 per cent on all the debentures remaining wapsid at the close of each year, the anoint of interest payable at the end of the first year when the 8544 ave paid will be $1,200, that is the interest on $20,- 000 at 6 per cent for one year.-- Then$544 added to%1,200 makeh1744 the ameudt of Bho. debenture and interest due dud; payable at the end of the first year. "Again according to the division in the by-law the amount of debentures due at the close of the second year is 576.64,but the amount of dedentures remaining unpaid atthe end of the second year is $20,000 less 544, paid at the close of the first year, that is $19,- 456; the interest of this at 6 per this added to $576.64 gives $1,744.00 So that as the debentures increase the amount of interest diminishes in equal amounts and consequently the payments each year for the twenty years through which thede. bentures run will be $1744. This includes both debentures and inter- est coupons. "Enquirer" will see from the above that the payments for each year for the twenty years is $1744, the total amount of this in twenty years will be $34,880. The rate required to pay this 81744 angually will be 24% cents on every $100 of assessed value, $2.45 on every $1,000, $24.46 on every $10,000 and soon. So that a party assessed for $1,000 will only require to pay $49 during the the twenty years, that is the road will only eost him $49 altogethor.-- A party assessed at $10,000 will pay $490 during the twenty years; but there is no farmer in the town- ship rated at $10,000 who will not make ten times more by the road in twenty years than it will cost him. "Lxpert" That part of our re- marks to which you refer is a slip of the compositcr. In the first place other purpose than simply to show what would be required to be raised tu meet the debentures as they in- creased each year by the interest of the preceding debenture. In the remarks to which you re- fer we set out by stating that every $100 assessed value would pay a rate of seven and two-third cents nearly, (that §400 would pay thirty and a haif cents.) that $4,000 would pay $3.05 ; that $5,000 would pay $3.81; that $10,000 would pay $7.62, and so on. You will perceive that the part withjn the parenthesis was omitted and bundreds put in place of thousands alterwards. "Farmer" Yes the amounts in the by-law when added make $20001.37 that is $1.37 more than is required, but this can be easily rectified by making the last payment $1.37 less ment of the Debentures as they-- $544 and the interest is ealculated cent for one year is $1,167.36 and! the remarks were not meant for any | rR 00 WHA Per, cent atmonnts to, Then $91¢ Now J added | to $1,800 gives | 2/816. _to fin the instalment for the | {second yua'we add the interest of $816 at 6' per cent for one year ($18.96) to the first in. | statment 38816) which gives $364.96 ns the | second installment of principal.

After twelve months unremitting diplom- atitc war in the legislative halls, the courts, the forums, and even in the market places of | tongue were the only weapons used, the | contending parties have fairly settled down | and rifle for the pen, and now deliver their ! from the cannon's mouth. Russia and Turkey have now got each other by the throat, and determine to as- suage each others thirst iu the blood of their bravest and noblest sons. The infernal stupidity, pride and obstinacy of a doz- men calling themselves rulers, are respons sible for the world of destruction, wretched ness and misery which must result trom the war now fairly begun, but where it will end heaven only knows. 'I'wo nations are al. ready in arms hurrying forward to cut cach others throats, the emblems of peace have | been trampled under foot and the nations now thirst for blood. England.is arming to the | teeth and the daring sons of Mars clutch | their weapons with a feverish grasp and only wait the raising of a finger to plunge into the blood-red vortex of war. Austria is a military camp, Tmmediate war is regarded | as a certainty, and the men of blood are only impatient of delay and wonder where they first will strike, Spain wishes a respite till her recent fratricidal wounds heal up. France is indifferent a8 to how matters shape if Prussia get no advantage from the national row. France is armed and arming to her utmost capacity, but she don't mean to waste her powder on either Russians or Turks. Prussia is no idle spectator of the move. ments of the contending hosts but her en- ergies are too jouch bent towards the Rhine to permit her to water her horses in the Dan-! ube. Prussian steel may long to drink of Russian or Turkish blood Lut the steel must be keept bright for the sweet vintage of the Rhine, Except the two contending powers the others all proclaim their neutrality but it is certainly an armed neutrallty in the broad. est sense of the term, it looks much like "Hold on till we get ready" for certainly they are all getting ready with feverish haste aud look more like preparing for a pitched battle than a simple putrality. e | 1f war should be confined to the two con- tending powers Turkey will certainly be at the feet of Russia ere the sun attains the summer solstic; but let another pation mingle in the fray and a fire shall have been kindled which will consume the remaining shreds of the "balance of power" burlesque and will leave a triumvirate to devide the spoils and parcle out Europe to their own liking.

The alarm was at once given and several fire cow panies were promptly on the spot ana, been first raised and three men careying hose Lad mounted it to fight the fire in the upper storics, but while they were pouring a ktream on the fire above, a #heet of flume burst out « f the windows beneath them and entirely bid them from view and they were given up by the crowd for lost, but after a while they were seen descending from their iddy heizht down through the flames bear. ng oa their persons evidents marks of the tearful struggle they Lad had with the ficry monster, After the Skinner ladder had caught fire and the three noble fellows who had been upon it had been trken away bruised and scorched the sensation iu the crowd became terribly intense, and people surged about excitement grew, the beat increased in powcr until it became unbearable, Then iv drove them back to a sespectful distance, and opencd an attack upon the houses onthe opposite side of the road Ina short time the fir vd complete possession of The work of wreck went on unchecked though immense volumes of water less rapidity the fire wade its way through materials all too ready to welcome it, and the crash of falling weight, as macnine after machine broke through the yielding floors was distictly heard above the roar of the fl monium shouting of an ered crowd, excited und bewi 1t soon became obvious that the wall could not stand, The danger was imminent to the firemen and citizens working under- neath The Chief at once perceived the danger, already the wal' began to sway to and, fro. Orders were at once given to Reddy Nolan ard Holtby, of No. 1, to quit a very dangerous position which they occupied on the roof of Mr. Beauchamp s store playing upon the threatened houses in Vitre street. In the evedt of a fall they were in certain danger of death, and there was no time to be lost, but hardly had the order been given when that which bad been dreaded occurred The wall wavered, sagged, and then, with a swift deadly downfall, its upper portion was upon them in a blinding whirl of smoke, sparks and dust, and the men were buried alive in the Sawing ruins, A dread- ful scream went up as the devoted men were swept away into mutilation and death Men forgot their fears, and were intent only upon the rescue of the gallam souls buried in a living hell, and with more willingness than wisdom the narrow alley was approach. ed by eager crowds. The Chief, it was seen, had been struck down, Whether he was dead or not was not discernable, hut, fortun. ately, he bad not had time to get under the tull weight of the fall of the wall, and thus escaped with his life, but .with terrible in- juries, He was rescued from bis fearful position and carried away, It was known that there had been an awful disaster but its extent none could tell, Its suddencss appeared to have for an instant paralized the stoutest, but that in- stant of pained surprise passed. there was a plunge into the debris to rescue the men who were in peril, a rush into the vally of the shadow of death to save if possible the victims of that horrible disaster, there was & certainty of the falling of the remainder of the wall ; indeed it was swaying preparatory | to fall, and a moment was to decide the issue.
