In the Anglican S‘ynod' lately aaembled at Toronto, after the disposal of routine business, one of the Ciergymen namedl Carry, made a motion respecting the Ordi- ‘ nance of Holy Matrimony, to the efi‘ect that it should not be celebrated except in ehurches, non between parties who are - v-zu lotion is one which may be regarded as very good and necessary, or as a matter of in. difference-with the merits of the motion we have nothing to do; but we mention the subject to call attention to the follow- ing remarkably prejudiced and pharsaical speech of‘the rev. mover, which we clip from the 'I'clegraph, the italics being our own: Kiuw W l ‘liam the first, and which now esrs es I atl ier Bic hot to kneel upon in the confessional when giving absolution to the penitent half-breeds.

The Minister, Count ‘Bis‘marek, who atfected the quarrel with Austria, and whose policy succeed- I'ed in raising Prussia from: subordinate member of‘ the Austrian federation to the rank of- a first class power, is still President of the Prussian Ministry, and gfiederal Chancellor. The judgment of 3 history will be severe on the means by iwhieh Bismarck brought about the l contest with Austria, but the result com- Fpletely justified his calculations. Napo- ? icon and Bismarck are not strangers to ieaeh other. In 1862 Bismarck was iPrussian Ambassador at Paris, when ‘ the French Minister notified the King of Prussia that the appointment was patticularly agreeable to his Sovereign. He was not long there, however, before he was summontd to Berlin, on the res- 1 ‘ignat‘iou of the Ministry, when he was gappointed Premier and Minister for Foreign affairs. Afterwards, before the war w1th Austria, he had several inter- {views with Napoleon, in France. Na époleon encouraged the war. He inter ested himself in obtaining Italy as an :ally of Prussia, and he foresaw, or at , 'least he persuaded 111mself so, that both : Prussia and Austria would come out of l the engagement in a crippled condition, but to his great disgust he found that Prussia came out of the conflict his equal as an arbitrator in the destinies of continental I‘IurOpe.

After he had entered into an offensive alliance with' Italy against Austria he had the con- sumate impudence to protest that the. sentiments ofthe King, his master, were. friendly to Austria, and to complain that the latter was meditating an at- tack on the Prussian Dominions. The war which is new current between France and Prussia is the second act of I the drama, the scene of the first beingi laid at Sadowa, in 1866.

The Dogma of infallibility has been carried by a triumphant majority, and His Holiness Pope Pius IX has reach- ed the gaol of his ambition and can die in peace. During his pontificatc of twenty-five years the accomplishment of this scheme, as he said himself. has been his ruling passion, and assuredly the in- dustry with which he has followed it up and the el'ecti’oneering-agen't ability which he has exhibited since the open- ing of the (Ecumenical council have ful'y entitled him to success. By the laity of his church his infallibility has long been virtually acknowledged, and its promulgation now will be received with. comparative indifierence. The majority of the Fathers have been cajoled into accepting it by Jesuitical influences or by the terrors of an ana- thema, but to the minority, who held that it is opposed to the progressive tendencies of the age, it will bring dis- appointment, and in many cases absolute disgust... The Father: of the Gallican church, who have striven so hard against it under the leadership of Dupanloup, will hardly consent to have it forced on them, and will probably make a schism in which they will receive the cordial support of many American prelates.â€" Those who unwillingly agree to accept it may console themselves with the fact that His Holiness has reached the end of his tether, and cannot, with any pro- spect of success or show of common decency, ask for more.

NORMANBY, 19th July, 1870. To the Editor of (lie Chronicle. Sm,â€"It is rumored that the corpora- tion of our sister village, contemplates applying the bonus recently votedâ€"to that adventurous, uncertain, and some- what. abortive scheme, the Narrow- Gauge‘to' the construction of a Gravel Road to connect them with Harriston. They might do worse, but certainly they can do better. In these days of progress, a Railroad isa necessity, more especially to the agriculturist, themov- ing of whose grain, and. indeed all farm products, requires a cheaper and more expeditious mode of transit than Gravel Roads afi'ord',.iu a country where wins- ter follows so rapidly in the Wake of harvest, as it does here. The immediate effect of Railroads ending at some inland point has been to increase the population and to enlarge its commerce; Guelph, Stratford and Barrie, though on lines of Railway, are instances in point. Each of them are sustained by prOSperous back settle- ments, who, when they become import. ant enough to command Railways for themselves, will withdraw that patron- age which has built up the village, or town. When the Wellington, Grey 82: Bruce is extended into Bruce, and the Narrow Gauge made to Arthur, grass will grow in the streets of Fergus and Elora, and how will it be in our thriv- ing town of Mount Forest ? I cannot without, charging myself with wilful blindness but admit that when the Nar- row-Gauge is in operation to Arthur the whole of the Proton business, and a large portion of that of Egremont will be transferred to Arthur. When the road to Harriston, or'rat-hcr Clifford, is finished, Normanby will go thither- in a body. The prospect, I admit, is rather gloomy for the villages, but after all village interests are of a very seconda- ry character, and such as ought not, in my opinion, to be unduly considered. To the Editor of. tlie Cfironz’cle. Al the present, juncture nothing seems of easier solution, than the Railroad, puzzle which has thus far thwax ted the plans of our must astute public men. I take it for' granted that. Railway ac- commodation is imperatively demanded, hothfor Mount Forest and. this place. [will also take it for: granted. that no Railroad‘ touching either place can stop there so as to make either of them- a permanent terminus, however desira- ble such an event might be to.- those most concerned. The NarrowGauge Company have repeatedly ofiered to extend their Road- from Arthur westward or northward, as the case may be, for a bonus of nine thousand dollarsa mileâ€"yet if the ag- gregate of bonuses voted by the City of Toronto and the intervening townships to Arthur, be reckoned, I think it will he manifest that they actually require twelve thousand dollars a mile E a much larger amount than their modest re- quest. fi'c do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions of our correspondents, and only give thén pubticiiy for the in r- mation they contain.

Dem Srn,â€"I beg permission through the columns of your valuable paper to refer to a slander that is now in circulation, of which Mr. Thos. Smith is the projector. I have received information from reliable sources, that the above named gentleman asserts in an indirect manner that he be- lieves, and has good reason for believing, that I was the person, without doubt, that caused the destruction by fire ofhis Tannery, certainly a heavy charge. The first ques- tion that would naturally arise in the‘public mind is, what cause has Mr. Smith for centreing suspicion on me ? Has he ever known me to perpetrate an act of the kind before ? Or has he wronged me in some way to such-an extent as to think that I would seek revenge in such an unlawful and j cowardly manner. The facts can be dis, closed in afew words, simply this: Mr.f Smith has imagined himself in my position for a few moments, and has finally drawn this conclusion, that were our positions reversed, and had‘ he been wronged by me as I have been by him, he would resort to the same means that he accuses me of to seek redress. Certainly for an evil minded man a very satisfactory conclusion. This, Mr. Editor, is the only possible grounds he has for arriving at such a. conclusion.â€" When Mr. Smith sold out to me, he pledged his word that he would! never manufacture nor interfere with the harness business as long as I wanted it, which agreement I have reason to think he observed for about 1% years ; after that time he engaged in the business again, and justifies himself by positively declaring that he never entered ‘into any such contract. He also offered to bind himself in' writings not to start the Harness and Saddlery business again, an- other thing he positively denies. However 'that will avail nothing, as I am' prepared to prove both, by parties called by himself to witness the agreement. After I foundout that he was about to re-engage in the busi- ~ ness, I‘ stated the agreement to several parties, I presume some of whom rehearsed crarcu tnat it was a manufactured falsehood, and new states that his reason for charging me with the outrageous crime in question, was that any person that would manufacture such falsehoods as I had done concerning him,‘ would net hesitate to set fire to a building. I defy. Mr. Smith to prove a single untrue statement I‘have made about him.‘ I' stated that he was not a truthful man,'a'nd a man not to be depended upon, and I still say the same, and I am not alone in thinking so. It” Mr. Smith wants some or all of- these. statements substantiated, I am prepared to do it, but I- don’t- think he will ask it, for the truth would be too much for him, and he knows well I have asserted nothing but. the truth. He has had some agents very actively engaged in circulating the same report, parties that do not believe it any more than he does, and I don’t think Mr. Smith- imagines for a moment that I was the cause of his‘loSs ;"it is merely done to injure me in my business. I' am‘ not alone in drawing this conclusion. Mr. John Smith, his mouthpiece and chief agent, states that I am the most un- principled man} he ever met ; after travel~ ling from Durham to some place else, he has not found my. equal, a statement I should not like-to make about the gentle- man himself ; and‘I have as good“ grounds, and better than he has for making such'a statement,~ as I don’t think he is exactly “on the square,” so rather than to speak harshly of him, I will pity him and attribute it to his deplorable lack of commoa sense.

GRIFFITH, Saddler, Durham; Beaten thus in their appeals to the communities to the North of them,these Elora men are doing their best still to embarrass the Company by working V upon individuals. They imagine that if they can so delay the work by annoy- ing proceedings in relation to right of way, as to prevent the Company secur- ing the Peel debentures, they will still have been successful. They have for a moment secured the acquiescence of one gentleman through whose land the rail- way runs, and they threaten proceedings. ‘ Elora, like other places, has pettifoggers ' enough to make it an easy matter to play this game. \Vith these profession- al gentleman litigation means bread and butter. They live by illustrating the old fahle, eating the oyster and bestow- ;ing aâ€" sheli each upon their clients.â€" l Lose who may, they, at least, are the1 gainers. It is not, therefore, to be won- dered at that these gentlemen have be- come suddenly eXci‘ted over the interest of the farmer in the matter of his rights against railway companies. They have first the hope of. embarrassing the Com- pany, and thus preventing. the progress of the work, a hope as vain as any ever entertained by mortal1 man ;‘ and they pessttztgssswheshhowsoeeytai‘at at the past, so now, the Elora people will be doomed to disappointment. The farmers of Peel and other townships in North Wellington know their interests too well to be influenced by Elora petti- foggers who have become excited overt their “rights.” They know that until i the railway was passing Elora and ap- proaching them, these gentlemen had not a." word to say about the “rights”l either of' railway companies or of pri- vate in‘dividual's‘in dealing with them. Nichol and Pilkington farmers were surely“ as" well entitled to the aegis of itheir‘" protection as those of Peel3 or Maryborough ; the South as‘ well entitled to their cons-ideratiOn as the North.â€" The farmers of North Wellington have shown their deSi're‘fOr a railway by vot- ing bonuses to the company propOsing to construct one; and we mistake them very much if they are to be influenced by the actibn of Elora 1n this matter, 1 any more than they have been 1n others .in which their action has heretofore i been requested. (ame the Hamilton Spectator.) The escapade of Elora during the con» 1 test in B'rneelest fall is already well’? known, and'the particulars of it need not be repeated" here. More recently, while the By-laws were before the rate- payers of Maryborough, Minto and H‘owiek, these same Elora' gentlemen moved every influence to secure their defeat. They scoured the Township, placed canvassers, under obvious pre- tences, on every concession line, and stopped at no means however discredit- able to‘ prejudice the people against the Company. Again they were beaten.â€" I-n both cases they ignored a; fact. which they ought to have remembered, viz: that the farmers of Canada are emphati- cally an honorable 61388, and that a combination whose chief corner stone is dishonor can bear no influence with them. With the keen shrewd percep- tion of right, to which these marplots appear strangers, they meaSured with perfect accuracy at once the motive and the Value of Elora opposition. They remembered that up to a certain point the people of 1310er Were friends, or ap- peared to be friends of the enterprise. They knew that those peOpIe Were not 1 l i only cogniZant of, but participators in, the very transactions upon which they sought to base irritating law suits, and to excite popular prejudice and Opp0° sition. They saw that until the road to Elora was an assured fact,- not a single syllable was uttered against the Com. pany; but that when that fact was an established one, then all means were adopted to prevent its progress farther. And estimating, in the light ofthese‘re- flections, the dishonesty as well as selfishness of Elora, they refused to listen to its arguments, and renewed their confidence in the Company. A shocking murder was committed on the Danforth road, five miles from To- ronto, on Thursday night. William Sheppard, in a fit of jealousy and in- toxication, shot his wife in the breast with a gun loaded with shot inflicting a mortal wound of. which she subsequentl y died. They had no family, and were both about fifty-seven years of age.â€" Sheppard is represented as an honest and respectable man, but was in the habit of getting drunk occasionally, and when in such condition he was always jealous of his wife. An inquest was held on the body, and the following statement, made by- his wife before she died, was read to the jury: I was in bed when my husband came home a little past nine this evening.â€" He got into bed and' commenced his dirty talk, he being jealous. I gofonlt of bed to leave the room, when he jump- ed up I closed the door, and held it against him, to prevent his following me. I was on the outside and he was on the inside. He then fired through the door, with a gun which was always kept in the bedroom, and“ was loaded. I felt that I was shot, and ran down to Mr. West’s house where I now am. I don’t think he meant to shoot me. He is a kind husband except when he is in liquora He drank some whiskey after he came home, and I believe he was drunk at the time he fired through the door and shot me; ' The jury returned‘ a verdict of “‘Wil- ful Murder” against William Sheppard, who was committed for trial at the next A-izes for the County of York. the Scottish Lowlands, on Sunday, do- ing much damage to preperty, Elora. and its Pettifoggers.
