It is forthe intelli- gent eloctors of North Ontario to tally satisfy thomselves on those points and voteintelligently in favor of right whon called upon lo cast their ballots, Believing in the sound diserim- ination and jastice of the great body of electors wo loave tho matter for the present fully satisfied that the Mowat Government richly deserves tho condemnation' of the electors of Nortli Ontario and of the entire Pro- vince. No other oligarchy ever raled with more petty tyranny, un- satisfactory shufilng and disgusting nepotism than do the Mowat oli- garchy. These charges are not dif- ficult of proof, a slight consideration will convince the electors that thoy are only too well founded. One may Hastening Slowly. No one ever dreamed of giving the Mowat Government credit for dis- patch but their snail-like progress in gazetting Mr. Paxton as Sheriff of this County approaches close on the ridiculous. It was well known on the death of the late Sheriff that Mr. Paxton would be his successor, his immediate appointment was univer- sally expected and the 'Ontario Gazetle" was consulted from week to week with the expectation of sec ing the announcement but no an- nouncement camo and parties at- tributed the cause of the delay to the fact that the Government wished to allow Mr. Paxton to retain his seat till the closo of the Session so that he might secure his full indemuity and all made up their minds that imme- diately on tho close of the session Mr. Paxton would be gazetted as Sberiff. Again, however, expecta- tion was disappointed and still Mr, Paxton has not yet been gazetted. -- It is now publicly asserted that no sueh announcement will be 'made till after the election of a member is secure; the object of this delay is said to be for the purpose of secur- ing Mr. Paxton's assistance in aiding the return of the Govern- ment Candidate. We can scarcely believe that such is the object, for while we beliove that there is no depth too low for the Mowat Gov- ernment to stoop to secure or main- trickery, s6 unblushing an act of political fraud as pass around a con- stituency with his appointment in bis pocket and use his influence as late member and fatute Sheriff to sncure the election of a Government Can- didate. Not to speak of the dis- honor of the act Mr. Paxton is not 80 foolish as make his exit as moem- ber and his debut as Sheriff in any such disgraceful manser. Mr. Paxton's appontment left the constituency open; the Opposition selocted a candidate and the Gos- ernment party selected one and the two candidates are presented to the people so that the electors may orable, would it be just, in the Gor- ernment to send tho late membor and the Shoriff into tho field to champion their cause and secure the return of their candidate, Here the Opposition candidate would have to contend against the Government candidate, the late member of the iring |siding, the Sheriff of the county and the Government itself, We repeat the statement that we believe the Government quite capable of des- cending to such meaness but we do not believe that Paxton would be guilty of so shameful an act.

' Interesting to Farmers: A SWEEPSTAKE © PRIZE FOR THN BEST CATTLE. Mossrs. Bongard & Elliott offer a Sweep- stake Prize of $6 for the best three Steers brought to Port Perry from any one stable in this or any of the neighboring Counties, Three well known and reliable judges have been appointed. Farmers and others know that the competition will take place when Messrs, Bongard & Elliott are collecting their cattle for shipping. The liberality of these entorprising buy- ers, Bongard & Elliott, is highly creditable to them and worthy of commendation, Tt is not simply the prize which they offer, neither 1s it the money which cattle breed- crs would regard but prize taking for sup- erior cattle when prize cattle are so much sought after and when our cattle trade is yot in the morning of & magnificent future, is of more importance than at first sight appoars. Tt is something to know the stablesin which syperior cattle may be looked for; itis a matter of no little importance that every possible impetus and ig! t shoold be given to raising choice beef cattle and thus encourage a trade on which the future prosperity of our farmers and the country at large so much depends.

(Be programmes and posters) | P That Railway i For yeas past the © Toronto' and Ottawa rgilway scheme has been regarded with the greatost interest by tho entire section of country through which it was expected to pass. This was only to be expected as no other railway scheme ever mooted in this Provinee promised equal results to the Pro- vince, and of all localities on the route no other had prospects equal to those presented to this locality: It would be difficult to con- ceive ofany other undertaking likely to confer so great advantages on the agricul. tural, commercial and manufacturing in- terests of this section of country, such asa trunk line running through our midst is certain to secure. But the Toronto and Ottawa scheme ling passed away or rather has given place to a more extensive schemo behing the title of the Ontario and Quebec Railway and this promises equal resuls with the former scheme of which it may be re. garded simply msns an extension, The route will doubtless be identical with that which the former would have followed and hat benefits Were promi by the former will be fully realized from the latter 80 that the new scheme will like the former, engross ' a large "share of public attention and every move inthe now longed for Ontario & Quebec scheme will be watched with the greatest interest. The following clipped from the Montreal Daily Witness will be acceptable to our readers, A meeting ofthe railway men interested in the construction of the Ontario & Quebec railway was beld at the Windsor Hotel for the purpose of considering the best means of carrying into effect the objets of the com- pany, the obtaining of the capital necessary, and the question of the allotment of stock among the Joven companies concerned, A ti was held at noon, at which it Tyo arranged to meet again at 8 o'clock in the evening for business. At the latter meeting the greater number of the leading capitalists and influential railway men interested in the railway were present. Mr Adam Brown, of Hamilton, represer ting the Great Western Railway, occupied the chair, The following railways were repre- sented :--Credit Valley, Mr, Osler, Toronto ; Canada Central, Mr. McIntyre; South Kast- ern, Mr. Chaffie ; Grand Junction, Mr Bick- ford; Quebce, Montreal & Occidental, Mr Senocal and the Hon Mr Church. The fol- lowing gentlemen were also in attendance , The Hon. Rosire Thibandean, Hector Cameron, M. P, Mr Archkombanlt, Mr. Henry Howland, Toronto: Mr Campbell, Toronto ; and Mr. W., L, Gordon, the latter, Secretary of the Provisional Board of Directors. The meeting was of a private nature, but is declared to have been a complete success. The amount of the capital stock of the Com- pany was fixed at $1,000,000, which was apportioned among the several interests rep- resented, Ten percent of this is to be paid into the bank of Montreal on or before the 6th of May. On that date a notice will be issucd,~calling a meeting toelect a per- manent Board. Provisional Directors clect- ed were the Hon, Mr, Chapleay, the Hon. L.R. Chufrch, the Hon. Mr. Thibaudeau, Messrs, Duncan Mcintyre, A. B, Chaffee and F. X Archambault, Q. C., of Montreal, Messrs, 'H. 8 Howland, C.J. Campbell, W. H. Lockhart Gordon, E, B. Ostler and E. 0, Bickford, of Toronto; Adam brown, of Hamilton, and J, Alderic Onimet and Pierre Garneau, of Quebec, A meoting of the Provisional Board was beld at noon to-day, Mr. C.J. Campbell, in the absence of Mr.' Adam Brown, presiding, Considerable discusseon took place on ques- tions of detail, 'ond the principal business transacted was the giving of instructions to the Company's Chief Engineer Mr, Dumsden, to complete his preliminary survey to be ready to report to the first meeting of the Permanent Board in May, In discussing the matter with the Doard, Mr. Lumsden informed them that.no great difficulties were to be over come in locating the line and tha the work had no particular feature 'more than that it was ordinarily heavy, Some difficulty might be experienc- ed entering tho ity of "Toronto from tne east, but if the Grand Trunk threw no great obstacles in the Company's way, the cn- trance could be effected advantageously at present. A few minor points wera touched upon, and the meeting adjourned. 5 Agricultural Society's Show. The township of Cartwright Agricultural society held their pring show for 1881 on their show grounds, Williamsburg on Fri- day 29th ult. The day was clear and bright but rather cool to be pleasant, the roads wore in fine order, and the chances were favorable for a fine show but the season be- ing rather late and everything being so fav- orable for seeding large numbers of those who otherwise wonld have been at the show were at home Dry in their seeding opera. tions ; this. of course, tended very much to lessen the number present end to diminish the interest in the show. Parties from Port Perry and Reach increased the number con- siderably, The people came in quite early and everything wag prepared for their recop- tion, most desi dation was provided to make all comfortable while stable accomodation for hogpes was both ex- tensive and good ; the well got up, genor~ ously supplied tables at both hotels were®| highly creditable to the active and enter. prising host and hostess in both houses and their efforts to accommodate and provide for their numerous guests were highly satis. factory to all, After dinner parties began to seek their way fowards the show grounds, this was in first-class order, Already the machines and implements had fallen into line on the northern quarter of the ground and made a fino show. The Enniskillen plows, gang plows and horse rakes were shown in both quantity and quality, The manufacture of this firm now ndati 1 they have a fine "The Oshawa Manan Works pot. grounds. | Br, Crandell that much of the comfort and Lincoln succeed fn taking the Pride of Otero ietar tly and. six cvuipoton and had they : it would have beet nothing out of the wa; and after considerable display Joe the Glancer succeeded in taking'the 1st; Wonder. ful Lad 2nd, and Royal Brit 8rd. In carriage stallions there were not many shows but they were excelient horses. The contest was between Toronto Chief and Honest John, 1st prize, In the blood class Huckleberry took the 1s prize, In single drivers there was quite a display quitea number of fine steppers and they bad to step ere the judges were through with them.

The Toronto mower took Ist, but we need not describe the prizes in the machines or im- plements for they were all really choice articles and the Judges must have liad much difficulty in placing the prizes.

Everything passed off most satisfactorily the officers and directors of the society did everything necessary to secure {he success of the show and the comfort and convenience of all who took part in the show whether us exhibitors or otherwise, If the show was not all that could have been wished in point of nnmbers present, or the extent of the exhibits, it is satisfactory to know that the parties were even better employed in the push of the se=ding season ; had the weather been such that no seeding could have been going on the show would certainly have been greater butit would have been less satisfactory all round and the county would have been the loser. All have reason for thankfulness that the seed time has been so favorable if it be a liitle late, The fact of the Newcastle, show being held on the same day must have injured both shows as several of the horses shown at Newcastle would have been at Cartwright and several of those which were at Cart- wright would have been at Newcastle had the shows been on different days. It is poor poliey for societies located so near each other to hold their shows on the same day In this instance the Newcustle society is all to blame for the Cartwright rociety never change the day on which they hold their spring show being always the last Friday in April, so that if Newcastle were to follow u stwilar course take some other day and stick to it there could be no clashing of shows and both the societies would be gainorsa by the arrangement and it would be of udvant~ age to exhibitors as {hey could attend Loth shows. ti A eee Croquet Sets of all numbers, 4, 6 and 8 balls, very low, at Parrish's, ---- / Port Perry Council.
