Geu. the report of the political decapitation of the above gen- tlemen was @ccepted and writs igsped lor new elections in the counties d great ewbarrassment. [le felt that on that occasion that had the member for West Toronto been as the member forthe East, a supporter of the Government, th: deputation would have received more en= couragement than it did. Mr. Crook's allusious to the base in- terfence of Government hacks (from which ever party it came) in election matiers was straightforward 'and manly. If the remarks of ibat gentleman on the present occasion foreshadow bis fu'ure course Toronto never made a wiser selection than when they returned this gentleman to the Assembly, Other members followed and tire speaking was kept up till close on On motion, of the Ait. Gen. the House adjourned till Monday. nN The pilched battle between the in's and out's may be staved off by some par- liamentary dodge till after the stray lambs all get within the fold. Until the vnsrupu- lous gentry who attempted to ride into par- liament on whiskey casks, shinplasters and other equally honorable means but who got age and lost heir ifigotten eeats be eith- er -elected or mote deserving parties re- turned in their places, when ibe forlorn hope shall have all gathered in then will come the tug of war, The muster way fur from being contempt- ible, the boys were generally pretty well rigged, and many ot them look as fierce as a meat-ax.

On the first paragraph being pu! Mr. Blake rose and wemt into a seathing 'review of some of the acts of the Govern- ment during the first parliament. Firet re- ferring in condemnatory lerms the shameless attempts to steal a march upon the country by springing the late elections upon it. The tenible scathing which the tlind, thick and thin followere ot the Gov- ernment during the first Parliament received at the hands of the country the late elections was referred to with capital effect and we think with good taste as the re- silts 'ought to prove a warning to all blind and brainjess voters on either side of the House. The next point in Mr. Brakes ad- dress was well taken, holding, as it did, up to public scorn and detestation the inter- ference and undue influence exercised in the late elections by Government hangers 1 in should go to each province. The pay of | on both from the Dominion and Local. No a little difficult to defive what the neces = arbitrators was somélliiug handsome and act of a government "coul well be more ary qualifications are ; but the position of every day they sat gnawed away a consid- | base than using the public funds tobay upd pe dt aneilor is wotone of these gil | erable portion of the bone of coinention, but support and encourage corruption, and no | qualifications necessary in it and the arbi- | otlier motives would induce any government | ooo claiming a'seat at thi coarcil boa to so lar forget'its duties to the country as to | allempt an exercise of undue influence over i elections. Tne speaker next proceeded to! place a tombstone over the political graves | of the martyrs of the late parliament. Al blind noodle who will gap, nod, shout and vote by party and aot from principle is a disgrace to himself and lis constituents, but the man who will pledge bLimself to any course in order to secure his el ction | an when elected change face and betray'| bis party --those who elected him for a | certain purpose--oughtmever to have an opportunity of repeating the treachery.-- | The: Governmental borough mongers next | came infor a roasting and they were kept | before the fire tithey were overdone. It] is time that a redistribution of electoral divisions was goue to aud so burst the rotten-horougks. The money--1hat root of all evil --will doub:less be the death of the present gov- eroment ; this block voting is far from being palatable to a freejpeople ;the people «f this country know too well the effort it requires to muke money to relish Llocking it out in millions to any government we care not to what party they belong. In fact the grand distiguisbing characteristic in this province need only be the party of honesty and progress as distinguished from the corrupt selfish trickster. 'Fhe Hop. M. C. Cameran followed Mr Blake. [le defenJed the acts of the gov. 'ernment, but his attempted defence of thie' election ambuscade was a total failure 'and no one present felt that more keenly than imself, Mr. Cameron is too honorable a man 10 be successful in defending jobbery. | Mr. Cruoks the new member for West "Tofonto made bis maiden speech. This leman certaivly made the best point by far of any speaker on either with re- gard to the governments carle Hane disposal of the surplus.

Mr. Wood was the next to take the flzor, he went into a long and able defence of the acts of the Gov- ernment during the first parliament; in many instances calling forth some sharp bits from the opposition members.

The importance of the proceedings of that day cannot well be over rated as lar as their bealiag on the moral health and progress of the municipalitigs. « « On that day the assembled elect 1s put forward men whom they declairdlv bu fit and proper persons (0 represerit, defend and push forward the best interests of the muni- cipality, and this is at it ought to be, 'for uo individual who is unworihy of the posi- tion ought to be diguified even with the farce of a nomination. . There are positions in life in which it is § represe: = are neither numerous nor intricate. In the first place a candidale's political leanings ought to have no more inflaznce on his elecs tion or rejection than the evlor of his caat or the length of his nose ; and-the individual or party who would seek to infuse a politi- cal bias into our municipal contests 1s no friend of the community, nor promoter ol frank and fair, upright even handed legisla non for all alike without distinction of par- 1y or locality. Neither is the ability to ut- ter the greatest number of words in a given his tongue hung in the centre like a swivel and he may be able to talk his opponents out of their boots and be a wornhless dang- erous legislator after all. "An honest man is the noblest work of God *' and this is w sine qua mon to begin with ; if this quah- fication be not present no power of eloqu- ence or business tact can compensate for its absence ; in fact the more elgquence and the more business capacity a Jishonest ickster may po-sess the more he is to be dreaded and the greater eflort should be put forth to save the community the iufliction of his abuse of power. Selfish,unscrupuloos knaves always euppose that public plunder in legitimate game and that a public office is only valuable as affording them increas- ed facilties for plunder. The public weal with such isalta myth they believe in every man taking zl! he can and keeping what he gets We by no means wish to be understood as undervalu- ing the important gilts or acquirements of eloguence or husiness capacity in pur pub- lic men, far from.it; in themselves they are most desirable, but when p 1 by selfish aud dishonest men ~ they are like arms in the hauds of the highwayman only render him more dangerous. Neither do we assert that honesty is the only quali- (ization necessary ; to discharge the duties of councilor with any degree of efficiency, with comfoit to himself or advantage to the' municipality the party must posess a €er- tain amount of business tact be able frame a resolution, to forsee its" 'eH:cle and defend it need Our Reeves and Deputy Reeves ought to possess these and something more, they ought to possess at least the elements of the power of debates' that 'when they go to represent us' at the County Council board, amongst the mbled wisdom of the Countyy they may sustain the interests and eredit of the municipality 'and add to the importance of that respected body. -- As we stated in our last the oaching| this power in the bands of (he E v They had seen deputation after deputation waiting upon the Government, and almost supplicating them to aid their enterprise, 'when, if ie House had properly exercised its control these railway companies would have come before the House and demand 1 for this township ought to be gone to with unusual care, as the future of this corporation for inany years to come wiil very much depend on the the County and Township 1872.

An. other important matter which our Council will have to deal with will be the Gram- mar School Districts question. Thisis a question of very iderable import as a mistake in the arrang t here would be an injustice to the ratepayers and on injury to our Common Schools In the altered condition of Reach a con-- siderable reduction in the equalizéd value of this township will only be just and equitable, and will require to be attended to.

Such however ought not to be the case, aspirants ought to be called for a defi- nite yes orno ! to the more prominent ques tions likely to be legislated on. With regard tf the acts of the Council of this township for the present year we conceive that there is no room for com plat. The business of the corporation has been coaducied with prudence and no small degree of energy, while the utmost econoiny hus characterized the expenditure Abronghout.
