The charge of his being a paid servant of the Jumbermen of Outawa, he emp atizal y denied.

An the hour of meeting drew on sma.l groups might be seen every here and there around town discussing the chances of the several aspirants, and each group elected its own Warden ere it dispersed. We heard the names of no fewer than six gentlemen mentioned as being pretty sure of the position. The Reeves of Rama, Reach, Pickering, Oshawa, East Whiiby and Scogog were wach declared to be sure of the position ; and from all we could ather had pools been offered there would not have been much odds given. ; As the time approached however, parlies hurned along towards the Court House where the matter should be tested and where those into whose hande the people tad placed the selection ehould exercise their prerogative by eaying who shall have the honor of presiding as Warden over the affuirs of the county lor the present year.-- The entranee of our active and respected.

No previons County Coun: cil has ever presented an equal repre- sentation of the intelligence and business capacity of the county as does the council of 1872. We make no invideons distine- rion as to this member or that either in the past or present, but we epeak of the coun- cil as a whole, no small number ol whom would do credit 10 themselves and honor 10 the couatry on the floors of onr Legisiative Tlalle ; and who, 10 point ol legislative cap- acily, would leave a very iarge number of our present lezislators nowhere. There is a fair proportion of new blovd in the present council, a uumber of constit- uer.cies have changed their representative 10 a greater or less extent, and there is one constituency added 10 the number, viz: Port Perry, whose representative, Mr. B gulow, on account of his supero: business abilities, will be a decided acquisi- tion to the council. The Clerk having read over the names of the members elect asked for nominations for Warden. This passed riund Ike an vlectric shock, und all eyes were turned 1o0- warda the axpirante, but no one eppeared inclined to move. Mr. White, nsing, eaid thet he wae aware that the council was not yet organ- 13nd, and that it was ecaicely within his right 10 move a resolution, yet the members present were all aware that little business contd be done on the first day and that a: adjournment till the evening would nt in the slightest degree retard the business o the season ; and as one of the members wae uot yet in hia place, but was on hie way coming -- he referred to the Reeve of Thorah-- it would ouly be an act ol simple courtesy 10 that municipality to adjourn the meeting till evening when their represen- tative would be preasnt and tuke part in the the important duty of electing'the Warden. He (White) would therelor ed by Mr Miller, that further be a'journed nil 7 o'clock. It was svogested that 4 o'clock would answer the purpose. The Cleek ead that he had no purpose io serve, all he desired was that the members might bave a full and lair opportunity of selecting ae Warden whichever party a majority of the members considered most worthy. He | now read the law on the mater and said he would leave it ir, the hands of the members ove, second roceedings per. 4 was substituted for 7 and the motion was put and declared carried. The'mem- vers had scarcely risen from the table when the Reeve of Thora made his appearance, and business wus immediately resumed.

Mr. Shier seconded by Mr. Donovan, moved that Mr. W. H. Gibbs be Warden. No farther nominations being offered, the mover of Mr. McRae, briefly urged the cluims of his nominve. He was followed by the mover of Mr. J. 0. Guy. Mi. White enngratulated the Coiincil on the entire absence of everything in the shape of palnical panyism in the selection of Warden as evinced by the movers and scconders of some of the candidates, and hé was glad "to find that party was en- tirely 10 be-ignored in the selection of War< den for the present year and that th several to adjourn or proceed as they thought pro- |, puss candidates were to stand upon their merits 3 i : 3 PROVINCIAL PARLIAMENT. ¢ Pili : W ANT After a somewhat protracted Christ. | .

The gentleman whom-he had the honor of nominating bad superior was well qualified to dizcharge efficiently for the corporation of the County of Ontario, | \he duties of Warden, and never having had that honor eonterred on him, he (White) felt certain that the claims of that genile- man would uot be overlooked by the Coun- cil at this time. In justice, he said, the south ought 10 have the Wardenship this time 8 y past. ; The vote was then taken for Mr. McRae when there appeared 12 yeas and 13 nays -- Mr. McRae did not vote. So the motion was declared lost. The vote was then taken for Mr. Guy.-- There were 9 yeas snd 13 nays--sll the members did uot vote. The motion wus declared lost, * The vole was then taken for Mr. Gibba when there uppeared 13 yeas and 11 nays. It was stated that the Reeves of Oshawa and Pickering had not voted and its being de- manded by a member that all should vote, these gentlemen being asked to vole both voled yea and made the yeas 15. So ihe motion waa carried and ths Clerk declared W. H. Gibbs, Exq., Warden of the County of Omano for the present y ar. Tne Warden elect was conducted to the chair by his mover and eeconder. His Honor Judge Burnham took the declara- tion of the Warden, after which he (ize Warden) proceaded 10 address the Coungil, thanking hen for the honor they had cwn- ferred upon him in. electing him to the honorable position of Warden of this pros. wrous and important County, The office had not been sought by im, he was the more thaukful lor thehonor which the Coun- cil hud done him and he hoped that that mutual courtesy and respect becoming the members ol this Council would char- acterize the proceedings of the present year.
