d The Father of Lies will have to look to his laure!s, for in bis own famiy he bhas some active c W «etitors, These are quite as uoscruptl»s as their illustrious exemplar, but they iack his genius. They would doubtless sueceed in casting theé old fellow entirely into the shade were their cleverness equal to their will; but lies foolishly conceived and stupidly expressed will never be made good by even the un» limited capscity for telling them that is possessed by the opposition organ in this eity. The personal referenses to the Minister of Customs, contained in its issue of Tharsday last, ware quite unnecessary, although children and fools will be unable to distinguish the obvious line between private life and the official quality of a Minister of the Crown. But the charges made by the St. John Tribune, and n-zud with gleeful alacrity by our loca! contemporary, can be dealt with on their merits, which we are glad to say are not great. Tha appointment of Hall & Manington tb the Ilntercolonial Rail way Ticket Azency at St. John has a history which proves it to have been a job Asvored with neporism, Messrs. Hall â€"& Hining* ton were appointed by the lite Governâ€" ment, and were prid a salary of €890 per‘ anouca for their services, ‘The total receipts from their sales of tioues* amounted to something under two hundred VUollars; so that the maintenance of their offica caused a loss to the public Treasury of over $600 per annum. Why should this be continued ? There was & reason why it wis begun, a reason that would bare been equally valid for its continuance had those who made the appoin ment remain« ed in power ; and it was this ~Mr. Hanâ€" ington â€" was â€" Mr. Tilley‘s biotherâ€"inâ€"law. But that was a reason that could not be expected to stand between the pr:sent Government snd the public interest. Accordâ€"ngly this leak was stopped, and a party engaged exc‘usively in the business of selling tickets was appointed agent at the same per centage for selling Govern» ment Railway tickets as is usually paid by Railway Corporations. But the instince of Mall & Hanington was not an exceptions al one. A case in Halifax may be mention« ed, where the salary was $1,000, ud‘ the sale of tickets amounted to abuut the fourth of that sum. A similar change was made there; and why not ? Abonti $1,400 was the defcit shown by those two offices now cancelled ; and that sum did not represent the loss, for the Governâ€" ment gave $1,800 by way of salary and the carriage of passengers represented by the tickets sold, and received only the price of the tickets. Nearly the whole salary therefore would be loss. But under thé new arrangement, the sale of about $400 worth of tickets, that formeriy cost $1,800 will now be effected at the usual percentâ€" age which we presume will amount to, about $50.â€" ‘nulh_-ulnodhy The instigatots of the row at the Ennisâ€" more poliling place, during the progress 0# the Peterborough election, hare been brought up before the Police Magistrate, and bhave been puriished for their conduct.
