y A The value we set upon the Chancery suit in Toronto was, we believe, the correct one; but surely "Corporation‘" must see that since there is **no such obligation"" imposed by the chaster of the Ottawa Company, there can be " no such"" occasior for a Chancery suit, and that, therefore, this Toronto case has no application to that under discussion here. As to this Company‘s charter " immplying damâ€" ages" against the Corporation for repairng dts own streets, the assertion is mere bunâ€" combe. The Street Railway Company will have as much interest in a good road bed as the public, andâ€"the very offer of the Company to " shift track"" when necessary for repairs ought to cover the whole ground. At al} events, neither the Compahny nor individuals can claimnâ€" damages, unless for inâ€" jury received, and it certainly would ‘be" a singular arrargementâ€"if any comâ€" pany, or any individual, would forego a deâ€" floite right of redress for an indefinite amount of injary which might be inflicted. / The unâ€" supported assertion of " Corporation‘" that a counter statement could be gog$ up from the same. locality in Toronto, whence Mr. Keeres® received a letier signed by seventyâ€"three bitsizess firms, 1s not worth much. If it could be got up in fortyâ€"eight hours, and with an equal number of respectable names attacaed, it is a wonder we have not already seen it. As to the * douole track" the Tixes does not " advocute" it, but only that, if the Comâ€" paoy decide upon building it, it will better serve the public than a single one. We do not, however, undertake to instruct the Con.â€" pany as to their busivess, though it 1s our opinion that if they dolay a double track the economy in working it will repay them for e extra cost, but that is their business. . _ Jur condemnation of the preamble of the ~"aw was justly deserved.

In all the mazy columns written upon this â€"railâ€" way question we have not seen a valid point made against the charter ; nor, with ‘the exâ€" ception that the burthen of repairing the track is not placed upon the Company, as in other cities, is there any fair ground of objecli()n‘ from the Corporation stand poiatâ€"and that the Corporation abandons, asking instead exâ€" emption from . damages, for the payment of which, if it manages its affairs properly, it need never become liable.

In all probâ€" ability these gentlemen approved of the bill, and hence allowed it to pass without comâ€" ment. They may not consider the objections now taken well tounded. Be this as it may, the Tixss must see that if the Corporation of Ottawa had no opportunity of discussing the bill in 1866, or, if having that opportunity, it neglect=d it, the Corporation of 1868 ought rather to be praised than blamed, it it protests against that which it believes to be a gross wrong, both in the legislation of 1866 and 1863. It is frequently alleged, in not very elegant terms, that the bill of 1866 was pasâ€" sed kere in Ottawa " under the very noses" of the Corporation, and it is therefore urgeéd that it must have been a consenting party. Now, it is well knowa that as regards " private bills," there was a iush of them in 1866 â€"the closing session of the old system ; and it is also known, that as to supplies of printed bills, the citizens and public todies of Ottawa were far better supplied when the seat ot legislation was Quebec or Toronto. Nothing was easier in the world than the passing ot such a bill through Parliamgnt without the The Tess bas rung the changos dasy a‘ter day upon the question why the Mayor does not explain the want of opposition to the passing of the Act of 1866. ‘There is no doub:; that difficulties exist in the way of that exâ€" planatioc. It is a delicate subject. ‘The resâ€" ponsibilities of the position for the present year belong to the Mayor of this yearâ€"in 1866 the responsibi‘ities rested upon a worthy predeâ€" cessour, whose term ot offite and re:ponsibility, as such, has passed away. The representative of the city then and now had also his responâ€" sibilities, and it was impossible to have disâ€" cussed the Act of 1866 without reference to these geutliemen, ‘The Mayor of the present year is liable to rebuke, if, during his term of office, he tails to perform his duty, and he must decline to discuss the acts or omissions ot his predecersors, or the acts or omissions of the member for the city. It is true that the present Mayor was a member of the Corporâ€" ation in 1866, butthe Mayor beivg in law and in fact the chief executive officer of the Corâ€" poration, at best a mere moiety of duty devolved upon ordinary members, which the presenst Mayor, as an inuividual, does not deâ€" sire to shirk. Hs has no recoll,ction of the subj ct being brought before the Corporatiou in 1869. No member of the Corporation of 1866 protesses to bave ben consulted, and ao proceedings can be found in the recordedâ€" imminutes of any actioa of the bill, nor con a copy of the bill be found in the office of the Corporation. If the member tor the city, Mr. Currier, or the Mayor for ‘64, ‘65 and ‘66, Mr. Dickinson, can eulighten the Truzs on this head, they ars at The fact that the Tres has beeu aivocating a double track cousists in its advocacy ‘of the company‘s pretensions, and its _keated conâ€" deinpnation of the Corporation‘s procecdings. The Corporation asks nothing more thin that the compauny shall lay down a single t:aâ€"kâ€" that it shall not cross the Sappers‘ Bridge or Poolep‘s Bridge, in the present stat: of these bridges, and toat the Corporation shall not be liable to damages for repuiring its streets in the neighborhood of the track. < ‘The company teâ€" fuses to grant any one of those conditions, and the Tixss sanctions it. What other interence can bs drawn than that the Trues endorses the action of the company ? surely admit a slizht mistaks in these parâ€" ticulars. / The Tixss endearours to make its rcaders believe that no unusual powers have been given to the company, and that the Corporaâ€" tion only raised difficulties after the amended charter had become law. To the first of these assumptions the very fict that keeping the streets in repair contiguous to the track is a condition in. every charter granted nere or elsewhere, except the one under notice, ought to be sufficient to convince the ‘F1mgs of its error, It is a fact also that Mr. Keefer, the president of the company, claims the charter to be qguite unusual in its provisions. As to the second assumption of the Truss, will it be kind enough in its anger to refer to the pubâ€" lished corrâ€"spondence with Mr. Scott, M P.P., previous to the passage of the bill. It will Very harsh terms have been applied by the Tixes to the preamble of the byâ€"law of the Corpuration, prohibiting the company jrom proceeding, bâ€"cause the words " duoyble tack" are used, no mention having boen made of a double track in the letter of the company. Now, so much virtuous indignation need not bave been wasted, nor need the Tiugs have descâ€"nded to naughty‘ expressionsâ€"that journal is generally more dignified â€"for the simple explanation is that the chacter . of the company expressly provides for a double track ; it had refused to adopt a singls track, and it had givren notice of laying its track, which was taken to be the double track it had insisted upoun, hence the byâ€"law preamble was worded in accordance with the fact. Little value appears to have tbeen placed by the Tixgs upon the Street Railway Chanâ€" cery progeediogs in Toronto. _ Surely that journal ‘will/admit that if, in the second or third yearâ€"in the first year, if report is true, more setiotts diificulties prevailedâ€"thes comâ€" pany was brought into court for damage to properiy undera law obliging the company to keep the streets in repair, contiguous to the track, it is absolutely certain,‘ that in Ottawa the evil wili be very much aggravated under a charter which imposes no such obligation, but which, on the contrary, implies damages to the compiny, if the Corporation fai‘s to keepits roadway in ‘order. ‘The ‘Tixes, if it denies this simple trutb, can have little ym pathy with local interests, when it tortures facts to sustain wlat has been called a forcign monopoly to the prejudice of the community ; this, at least, is the construction put upon its course by a very large gection ot the populaâ€" tion. As to the document signed in Toronto, published by the ‘Tixgs, it is a matter of cerâ€" tainty that a counter document could be got up in fortyâ€"eight hours in the same locality .+ } It is thade a matter of reproach that ths auswer of the directors of the Street Railway to the letter of the 30th March, 1868, was not included in the report of the Committee of the Corporation, but a relerence to both those documâ€"nts will show that the proposition to pay damages to the Street Railway Compiny, or to buy out the company, was fully answeied in the letter of the 30th March in the firsi paragraph thereof. The remainder of the Ieiâ€" ter of the directors is mere argument, awountâ€" ing to & refusal to entertain any proposition of the Corporation. The lettâ€"r had, moreover, been given to the pubiic. It can hardly be alleged that it formed an impoitint f ature in the case. .

The Citizen, somewhat wiser than its neigh, bour, the Tixes, but nevertheless inconsistent in its arguments, condemns the bridges over which the railway company propose to pass its line. "Let more bridge accommodation be provided,‘ says the Citizen, but in the meanâ€" time it maintains ths pretensions of the railâ€" way company to do what it pleases under its charter, and the company claims to pass over thbridges as they are. Again the Citizen says, « Qur impression, however, is that the single track will be found quite sufficient for all purâ€" poses for many long years to come¢," and yet h : condemns the Corporation for insisting upâ€" on a single track. If the Citizen will only say fu ther, that the railway company ought to keâ€"p the street in repair, which is liable to injury from its operations, it will be an aivoâ€" cat : for the views of the Corporation, as all it asks is asingle track, wider bridges, and the repair of the track. . Again the Crtiézen says, (Oct. 15th): " We have not the shadow of a doubt that a single track will do good to any street, and that a double track will be a doubtâ€" ful benefit," and yet the Corporation is merely chaffing when it desires to prove the same proposition, And finally the Citizen counsels the company thus : " We think the company might for the sake of peace surrender the right to lay a double track in Sparks and Sussexâ€"sts.," while in the same breath he sneers at the keen business men in both these streets who cannot see the advanteges ofa double track blocking up their doors. Seeing the weaknaess of the I‘:uss and the advocates of the double track, the Citizen on Saturday last clinches its argument by condemning them out of their own mouths, "and doss not," says the Citizen, "our contemporary (‘Tus T:ixes) see that in only commencing with one track the company nullify their strong arguments in The only amusing features of the Tixges are littls hints of pains and penaltiesâ€"the ridiâ€" culous selfâ€"complacency with which it disposes of the legal points involved, and the heavy expense of law proceedings. â€" ‘The members of the Corporation, law adviser«, and citizens generally, who are moving in this matter, are hittle likely to be dismayed in th« presence of mere buncombe of this kind. ‘The interests involved are too serious to be trified with, and this game of th6 Trxres is mere child‘s play, as exemplified in the following highâ€"souled senâ€" tence of that journal : " The directors of the Street Railway are not to be frightened by the Mayor‘s name and the Corpcration seal, and if His Worship and ‘ instructors‘ persist in carâ€" rying out their schemes, they will only s#ac ceol in letting the citizens in for the costs," For grownâ€"up psople that is not a bad imitaâ€" tion of the original " Feeâ€"fawâ€"fum" of the story books. ~Suppose the Tmiss were to treat the ail way company to a little of th« same child‘s logic. In devoting it to the Corporation he is indulging in mere waste of what he apâ€" pears to consider a valuable commogity. The ‘l 11es has so oftea given the matter its attention, that it is almo«t imposeible to avoid stumbling every day against little obstructions in the way of a tair understanding of the matâ€" ter. ‘The latest is ‘that the Corporation is wrong to proceed against the company, beâ€" cause it is only going to put down a single track just now, but admits that it will put down the second one just when it pleases. It turther regrets that the company should be at loggerheads with the Corporation, but it has never urged its clients to be reasonable and yield to a rersonable demand, and it has conâ€" tinually threatened and cajolled the Corporaâ€" tion as if nointerest was entitled to considâ€"raâ€" tivh, except the Street Railway, treating the interests of the whole community as if it had only the value of a farthing rushâ€"lijht. _ What obligation bhas the Corporation incurâ€" red in reference to this private speculative monhopoly ? It has given it no promisesâ€"has taken no stockâ€"made no engagementsâ€"has inâ€" duced no one to embark in it,. If it repudiates anything, it is the right of a private company to ride rough shod over the whole comâ€" munity under color of an Act or Acts of Parâ€" liament which it alleges to have been obtained without its consent or approval in‘any way. If this Corporation puts water works bonds in the market, they will stana all the higher, when it is known that the prot=ction of the public interests is the chief object of the Corâ€" poration, otherwise all confidence must neâ€" cessarily be destroyedi. The letter ot Mr. Keefer, to which this @"director ‘ refers, was published, it is believed, long since, and is a mere rehash of Mr. Keefer‘s peculiar views. If it amounts to anything, the public has had it before, now has it again, an‘l everybody is welcome to it. â€" What bearing can it have on the case as it now stands ? « A Diroctou" makes sad complaint that the Corporation should take any steps in opposiâ€" tion to the company, because @"the largest share of the stock was taken By paities who never saw the chartes until it became law," and he proceeds to denounce the " insan«:" course of the Corporation. Among the proofs of insanity â€"physicians require to establish acts of follyâ€"to make out a fool you must show acts of folly. Whether is the Corporâ€" ation which does its duty in endeavoring to protect the community from an act of injusâ€" tice, or the man who subscribed the larger portion ot stock in a Joint Stochk Company without evenasking to see the charter, most entitled to a certificate for lanacy, the fict be.ng established upon his own admission in & , lucid . moment?. The same gentlieman thinks the Corporation‘s action is repudiation â€"repudiation of what pray ? It is quite possible that the Legisiature was led to believe that this rcsolution was an apâ€" proval of the bill. What is the fict? Why that the whole power to pas: any byâ€"law imâ€" posing restrictions, rules or regulations is supposed to be swept away, and allâ€"the comâ€" pany wants from the Corporation is a plan showing the grades of streets and locati n ot sewers,. Can the Trixes suppose legisist on of this kind creditable to Parliamenit, or that it will not be revised by the Legislature? â€" Can public rights or private rights be swept away without some reasonable pretersion? it is net the fault of the Corporation that its rights have been infringed upon, and the interâ€" ests of the city jeopardizedâ€"it is rather its wmisfortune.

City Hart, August 3, 1865 Ald. Mosgrove moved, seconded by Ald. Abbott, that the teuder of Jeremiah Wall be accepted, and in doing so, stated that he had been informed by Mr. Honeywell that if the winter was given to do the work, the cedars could be fucnished at halfâ€" the price he now tendered for. ® The motion was carried. c The Finance Committos presentsd their «ighteenth report, recommending the pay ment of a number of accounts. â€" On motion of Ald.

Ald, Heney complained that only one out of the three lamps on the Sappers‘ bridge was lit during the three last nights. On a motion being proposed that the prayer of a petition be granted for lamps on the corners of Rose and Napoleon, and King and Napoleonâ€"sts. (The petitioners offering to light them for & yoar and find oil.) A disâ€" cussion arose, and it was finally concluded that a committee should be appointed to euâ€" quire into the maiter and make provision for lighting the whole city. i4« ._ Ald. Cunningham moved, seconded by Ald. Pratt, that the name of John Mercer (Sailor Jack) should be substituted for that of Hynes. The Mayor said the lights were paid for, azsd he would take steps to see that they were lit and kept lit during the proper hours. _Several applications were made for the office of chimney sweep. â€"â€" _ . Moved by of Ald. Morgrove, seconded by Ald.â€" Featherston, that Hugh Hyues be apâ€" pointed for the oftice. 3 Ald.

To this the company reply, we have our charter, and we refuse to yield up anything. So the case stands, let the public judge who is in the right. Corprorariox. October 17, 1868. The council met last night at halfâ€"past seven o‘clock . F Presentâ€"The Mayor and Ald.Cunaingham, Pratt, Bangs, Fcatherston, Mosgrove, Abbott, Gouldén, Guerard, Traversy, Heneyand Robinson,. The case is simple, and may be thus stated, viz : The Corporation ask the Street Rail way Company to agree to a single trackâ€"to agree to wait for better bridge accommodation beâ€" fore crossing to the Chaudiere, and to agree that the Corporation may repairâ€"its streets in the neighborhood of the track without being liable to damages. §z The journals advocating the interests of the company against the interests of the business men and property holders of the city have repeatedly alleged that public ojpinâ€" ion is in favor of the . company‘s extraordinary claims, â€"notwithstanding that the City Corporation unanimously oppose them,and a public meeting also almost unaniâ€" mously condemaned them. Now, the Corporâ€" ation is without doubt open to a fair test, and if the company bas any desire to aecept it and abide by ‘it, the Corporation cannot fail to meet it fiankly. Does the company place that much value upon public opinion ? ‘The Tixes and Citizen have apparently come to ‘the conclusion that crossing the parrow gorgeâ€"the Sippers‘ bridgeâ€"between the two crowded sections of the city is if feasible not advisable. ‘The Citizen thinks the company qught to give up the doubl« track tor the sake of peace, and the Trxzs does not: believe that it is the intention ‘of the company to lay a double <track at present. It is moreover stated that iron for a single track only has Leen ordered, in fact that the order for a double track had been countermanded. Apâ€" pearances would indicate, therefore, that the extreme views of the company have been abandonedâ€"something has, therefore, been accomplished by the stand taken. Why canâ€" not the company, if ouly for the sake of peace, and overlooking the rights of property holders, come to an amicable scttlement. ‘The Chancery proceeding will do much to dispel the mists raised by the advocates of this double track railway. . Newspaper articles are not to be despiscd, but they do not settle questions of law, and it is well that there is an appeal to the keener judgments of the courts. Well advised, and careful steps have been tiken to test the powers of the Street Railway Compaoy, and if it is confident in the justice of Ats cause it will risk a little of its capital in bringing this question to an honâ€" est issue, The newspaper discussion.is about at au end, and with no better result than to make the difficulty still greater, ‘ A dignified appeal to the courts is now the wisest Eter- native. * ‘I‘he application to the Local Legislature for an amendment to the Act, ought to meet with favour. _ If Parliament, under represenâ€" tions, proven to be unfounded, bhas passed an Act full of injustice to & community, trampâ€" ling upon municipal privileges, and injurious to property, and consequently to persons, it will, on such proof, retrace its steps, if possesâ€" zed of the timeâ€"honoured qualities of & British Legislature, _ There can be little doubt that a patient and carefel heating will be given to the respecttul petitions of a whole community, where even the petition of the poorest indiâ€" vidual obtains a heariog. ~â€" _ ‘The Government will not probably disallow the am nded Act, for although its ungonstituâ€" tional provisions are apparent, and a case for disallowance is fully madie out, the Governâ€" ment will probably shrink from difficuity with the Local Goveroment in a maitter which possesses only a local interest. . With the Domiczion Government, however, rests that responsibility . The Government will, of course, decide for itself concerning Sappers‘ and Pooley‘s bridg«s. These tbridgesa:e not named in the Act, and the route doés nut rua over them without the consent of the Government.. The Governâ€" ment may give way ; if so, the Corporation can tiake no blame to itselfâ€"it warned the Government in time. : It is not possible,of course, to follow up daily papers in their constant atlusions to this subâ€" jectâ€"nor is it nvcessary, _ In the city the fow who favour the;views of the advocates of a double track Street Reilway over the streets and bridges natiedâ€"giving them credit for an honest opinion in the matterâ€"are not of those who have an interest in the welfare of property in the city, many of them desire to improve New Edinvurgh at the expense of the city, by attracting people to that quarter to purchase property there ; others louk at the Strect Railway in a mere speculative light ; others as a cheap personal eonvenience ; and others desire to see it as travelled stranâ€" gers who have seen them in New York, Chiâ€" cago, New Orleans and Montreal. Let those who happen to own propeity in the line of the proposed double track give their honest opinion, and it will meet condemuation f:om one end of the city to the other. favor of two." Just so. The company and its advocates have no real ground to stand upon, and hence areinconsistent in all the positions they have taken. _ Pooley‘s bridge it is to be presumed the company will not attempt to cross as it would hardly bear the weight of the rails, to say notLing of a railway train of lumber from the Cbaudiere. _ The Sappers‘ bridge, the eomâ€" pany will insist upon crossing if the Governâ€" ment permit it, very likely Mr. Page or some engineer of eminence will bo asked whether the stonc parapcts may not be taken down and the bridge thus widened. It is a question whether the safâ€"ty. of the arch does not depend upon the weight of the parapetsâ€"that is at least the opinion of soms men of scientific training, ~No doubt this question will be carefully approached. For years the bridge has been in a decaying condition, limestone is subject to decay, and it will not be a matter of surprise if the Sappers‘ bridge is past the period when it will bear any great amount of bandling.. In any case a double track across it must ruin it as an avenue of travel. CcITY COUNCIL. Tus Ecurese or tus Sox is Ixomm.â€"Regard. ing the recent eclipse of the sun, the following extract from the letter of Lieutenant Whitton, of the 21st Fusiliersâ€"now stationed at Secunâ€" derabadâ€"to a relative in Dundee, will no doubt be perused with much interest by many of our readers :â€"* August 18th, 1868.â€"=â€"I had prepared glasses, and saw the whole of the eclipse from first to last. It occupied about two hours, and was the most beautiful sight I erc: witnessed. Just before the total obscuâ€" ration, the light began to fail and to change colorâ€"birds went to roost, and animals â€"went indoorsâ€"the cattle only continued to feedâ€" everything became stillâ€"the temperature fell from 80 deg. to 72 deg.â€"ths light became purple, and the color of the faint edge of the sun disappearing became roseâ€"color. It was like a very bright roseâ€"colored star moving slowly round the dark body of the moon, and when the obscuration bécame total the sight was magnificent. The dark round moon apâ€" peared surrounded by a thin belt of whitish smoke or flame fiickering, and through this were shot dark rays with bright tips. These extended only a short distance, then over and through thess were other rays lhdg out in the torm of a fourâ€"pointed star, and those rays appeared alternately dark, black, and flaume. They were also bright tipped. The stars were visible, the sky blue, the light purâ€" ple, and the effect of this, with the appearance of the moon, was a picture truly wonderfalâ€" so much so that when we lust sight of the sup, at inroluntary cheer broke from us and from the men at drill. Everybody, of course, was gazing at it. The natives did not half like it, and said the sun bad been stung by a cobra. The totality lasted about two minutes here, about two and a half minutes at Chudderghaut, and only about one minute at Bolarum, and I believe about six miles north of Bolarum the eclipse was not total. We were very forâ€" tunate to have seen it, and still more so at this time of the year, when the weather is so otten cloudy," Mr. Kesxsoy‘s Extertaimxaxyt. â€"Last night the theatre was crowded by a large and resâ€" pectable audience to listen to, and enjoy, the songs of Scotland, as delivered by ons of her most talented songsters. â€" It is impossible to listen unmoved to Mr. Kennedy‘s singing of the beautiful ballads of the old land, or to reâ€" sist the quaint humor with which he tells his laughable stories, and the audience last night altâ€"rnately laughed and encored, appearing to enter fully into the spirit of the vocalist. His recitation ot "Watty and Meg," or how to cure a scoldiag wife, was rich indesd, and those who are unfortunate enough to have such a piece of domestic turniture might learn and profit by it. It is very rare that one man is found to entertain successtully an entire audience, but this Mr. Kennedy does throughâ€" out an entire evening, the intâ€"rest of the audience never flagging from beginning to end. The accompaniments by Miss Kennedy were very beautifully rendered. ‘Toâ€"night is their last appearance in this city, and with it the opportunity to pass a " nicht in Scotland."
