Information from Renâ€" frow merely tells us what we knew before, that the prosecution is instigated by polia tical feeling, or rather by partisan hatred, Itis not improbable that other prosecutions may arise from the Brudennel affair, the evidence in which will show whether Mr. J. Lorne Macdougall and his friends are the purists they profess to be. similar honours that may hereafter take place. Among these we trust it will not be esteemed bad taste to mention the name of the Adjutant Genéral, Colonel Robertson Ross, whose public services in connection with the administration of Coâ€" lonial affairs have already been sufficient to entitle him to distinction. We merely mention the matter because the public jodgment has already pronounced him otherwise than fiattering to himself, and, we believe, gratifying to the vast majority of the people of Nova Scotis.

It is not easy for a gentleman of the Civil Bervice to compete at the polis with an old resident of Ottawa, whatever his abil« ity or assiduity may be, or however undis» puted may be his integrity. There should, however, be no hole or corner work. If Mr. LeSueur has been remiss in his duty, or if it be, for any cause, expedient to supplant him by another, let there be a public meeting of the electors called, so that it may be known in what consists his shortcomings, and wherein lies the intel« lectual or business capacity of any coming man, Mr. LeSueur is known to beâ€"as the result of early training in the largest monied Institution in the Dominion, and from t3 position which he occupies in the Post Office Departmentâ€"a clearâ€" headed and wellâ€"informed financier. In 'hflqubh-,hfab.bunl‘l- nmance Minister, although the Chairâ€" man of the Finance Omns He it was who caused the publication of that very instructive little book known as the Assessment Roll of the city, in which men be to spoil their effects,. Mothers would, however, make no mistake in pondering over them when considering how they should educate their daughters. ascertained incomes are not assessed for a third of the amount, which they receive in the way of salary. It is that interest« ing little work which shows that the Civil Service contributed nearly the whole amount of incomeâ€"tax collected, and which further shows the extreme poverty of some of the law firms of this rising city. Perâ€" naps Mr, LeSueur should not have taken all this trouble with the view of equallizâ€" ing taxation, pro rats, and so reducing the taxes on all kinds of rateable property, by wdding, in fact about one million and a half dollars to the city revenue, at the cost of men, who have no incomes, yet reâ€" mde in the city, have property in it, and keep their carriages and their horses, sbould be so unremuneralire. Mr. Lo« SBugur is, also soquiring property, but will possibly be ruined, as his assessable income is estimated at something over $2000. : Now it really should be seriously ihh-hbmtylbmu some public meeting to be held at an early day, which is, in truth, the most their manâ€"servan ts and their maid â€"servants. Mr, Langford is himsel{ a man of large proâ€" perty, but his income, we perceive amounts eligible candidate. There should be no underhand gathering up of names to reâ€" quisitions on mere personal grounds. A man may, in all the relations of life, be an excellent man, with an eye so bright, that a cigar might be lit at it, and yet be alto» together incompetent to transact public bussiness to public advantage.. At the gained by giving names. The fact is patent to the very meanest ea-pnhnâ€" as bitter in their nature as the jealousies of women. There is no oneness of pur« fi.--u“' ing decided upon the abolition of tolls and gates. #b a wise step, Sapimeeniritezent d?fi. toll gate is a relic of ar age of ignoranceâ€"an obstruction, nuisance -icq-owfifitb-fl:h-nfi ot our days should speedily do away with while St. George‘s Ward and Victoria Ward come to the dagger‘s point about a sewer. )f there be mud in Letter 0, it can‘t be reâ€" sible. The following, from the London Free Press, expresses the same conviction, in still stronger language : W" The County Council of Huron at their The tollâ€"gate nuisance had its origin in the age of monopolies. and as that is passâ€" ing away, or at least changing its form, the tollâ€"gate should be taken down. We believe the proposition to be demonstrable that the average tax upon a county for kseping all the roads within its limits in repair, would be less than ‘the resident axâ€"payers contribute at the tollâ€"bars within their respective counties, to say pose ; no grand attempt to unite in the general advrancement of the city ; but little sectional aims in the interest of aliques. A new sideâ€"walk on Sandy Hill, brings a furious discussion upon the merits Pooley‘s Bridge. Time is wasted in peity wranglings, because many of the City Fathers are not imbued with a soul above buttons. Surely, all this should be siter~ ed ; and is is not likely to be altered by substituting the mere partisan for the man of independence, and thorough in~ corruptibility without any axe to grind, and a simple desire to do full justice to the whole cityâ€" The matiter, neverthless, is one which the electors must decide. limits. Few tollâ€"houses return a revenue either to the private companies or to the -_'lbvlfitbph&m;nl the reason, obvicusly, is that the keeper of the gate must make his salary out of nothing of what they pay when Would it not be cheaper for Count) Councils to buy the roads within the limits of their jurisdiction, to strike a fair areâ€" rage with the private companies owning the roads, and pay them an annual interest on their stock, than to leave the rateâ€"pay« ors to be tolled day by day at every five or six miles ? A large number of very reâ€" w-d,uhl&hdflb-p.- ple, now doomed to hang about toll gates, night and day, would thereby be relieved from preying upam the public, and enabled to turn their sttention and energies to employment that would contribute to the increase of the country‘s wealth. To complain that strangers travel on thrown of they would pay nothing, is CITY COUNCILLORS. them . at all comâ€"~ uc ds e en s d cce way," in the days when tolling began, was never the property of a Joint Stock Company, 1t was the property ‘ of tne country at large, or of the shire, and the tax so clumsily imposed had at least the appesrance of being a source of public revenue. But now.aâ€"days private comâ€" panies are permitted to construct roads and put on exorbitant rates of toll ; and doubtedly a public advantage, yet the mode of securing a return for their cost is equally a neediess draft on the pockets of the people. We hope, with the London Free Press, that every county in Canada will become owner of the roads within its limits, make them free to public travel, and keep them in good repair. The car. rying out of this policy, in so far as Ontaâ€" rio is concerned, ought to be quite feasi~ ble in connection with the Hon. Mr. Mowat‘s explicit promise to dispose of that "injurious anomaly," the Municipal Loan Fund indebtedness. LATBST BY TRLEGAAPL (By Montreal Line.] CciAaABLE NEWSs.

Lapierre) said, that he had authority from a majority of the Market Committee to proceed both to Montreal and Quebec to make arrangements for borrowing the money, which he could then have done at 8 per cent, which he refused to give. Times, however, changed, and delay was noeuur{. Iately he had communicated with a fitm of brokers in Montreal, who now . Offered the money at $ per cent The sum wanted to borrow was between $32.000 and $35,000. _ / _ g Ald. Pratt, would be obliged to Ald. Lapierre if he would show him any minutes of proceedings of the Market Committes to show that he was authorized to go to Montreal and Quebec to borrow money. Ald. Lapierre said there were no minutes of the proceedings of the Market Com» mittee. Ald, Heney said.that Mr. Pratt remindâ€" ed him of a man who would not spit a sixâ€" pence, unless another was kanded to him. There were sleighs in Sussex street, standâ€" ing before the stores, who could not get 2600 nmodated in the Market Square, No orne ever saw a sleigh on the Wellington Market Equare. s * Ald. Pratt explained why he opposed the extension of the Lower Town Market. He wanted a true title to the property, and then he would go for the extension of the market.. He believed that Ald. Laâ€" pierre only now brought up the mautter for Ald. LuSueur thought that it was only common sense that if a population was grestly extended there ought to be more than one market. According to Mr; Mosâ€" grove‘s logic all the people of this city Ald. ‘Bangs thought that motion should be so easily du"flnd ;t He beâ€" lieved, for his part, t the By Ward Market was constructed at the general cost of the city. He thought it would be anything but just to borrow so large a sum of money at 8 per cent. He had not even seen an advertisement asking for the OGAY, . "". ns in n‘s (Cobyroty® + £ iz Ald. Mosgrove contended that Byâ€"Ward Market needed extension, and that Welâ€" lington Ward might be enclosed and laid out in &uwngo for cattle, in which case it would pay beiter than it does now. _ Ald. Laplerre moved, seconded by Ald. Grahamw, that the Market Committee be authorized to borrow the sum of $40,000, to be paid within ten years, and that cer» tain properties of the Corporation be mortgaged to meet the interest at 8 per cent., and the ital of $40,000, for the purpose of .x':i'm. the Byâ€"Ward Marâ€" Ald. Bocguo believed that taking the monies ‘of {’ Ward market to pay for the extension of that market was, in reality, hhntz'dn general monies of the Corpora« tion for an especial object. . _ ~ â€" _ ought to go to By Ward market. REGENT HOUSHE, Ald. Pratt said that too much power had been giren to the Chairman of Committees of the Council. Everything, he contended, :t::w be brought fairly and equarely the Council. He would not submit to any Alderman borrowing money on behalf of w:ind. Council without being properly u d.'fh.

He did not, how ever, think the that motion of Ald Lapierre shonld be adepted, but that it should be referred to the Market Committee for their report upon it. . Hebelievred the exâ€" tension of the Market could be made in another direction much more cheaply, _ A Venetian flu:&ychu invented a new model for a violin, with metal springs, which pass entirely arouni the drum of the instrument, and give quadruple the volume of an ordinary violin, | * I‘no“Bofdou, a French dressmaker, tired pression, plunged into the Beine, '::M words: *‘We have no liberties.‘ : When she was promptly pulled out, she finished the sontence : ‘They don‘t even allow us to drown‘ourselves,‘ ..
