There were the in 1 vestors who had no direct or personal interest in the district, and they must stherefore consider the matter in an open «and broad-minded manner. A railway from Collingwood to Meaford would have a country on one side only from which to derive a reward, and he would mislead them if he said that such an on. dertaking was a very attractive one for investors.

There was} a great show of enthusiasm at first which : soon exhausted itself and-fthe whole bur- den was then left upon- others. They must therefore in this case await the‘ lead of the peeple themselves. If'they are really in earnest for a railway, the Northern Company, although firmly de- clining to appear in the front, will not be far behind, and whatever engage? ments they may enter into. will be hon- orahly and faithfully fulfilled, depend- ing first upon the action of the Coun- cils. He thought it necessary to make these remarks in order to prevent any after-misunderstanding. 'l'akiog.there- fore, the minimum estimate of $11,000 per mile, and supposing the distance to E be "" miles, the half cost would be in . round numbers $120,000, and he thought it would only be reasonable to ask the people of the three Townships to raise that sum. The question, there- fore, was, is the combination of the Townships strong enough to contribute that amount? That was the point for Special consideration to-day. .â€" I-T'WAB NOT FOR HIM T0 ADVISE THEM.

He would re. peat that if the townships pledged themselves to contribute 0.08413“. the cost, he would undertake to End the other half. They must not overloo‘.“ the fact, that in addition to finding $5,- 500 per mile, assuming $11,000 to he the cost, the Northern would also find all rolling stock, which would amount to. another 53,000 per mile.

The news from other parts of France is unimportant. From Germany some matters of interest are reported. Mar- shal Bazaine is preparing a vindication of his conduct at Metz after the manner of his master, the cx-Emperor, who is reported to have written to the Tours government urging it to persist in its refusal of territory to the German con- queror. It may be mentioned in con- nection with Bazaine’s defence that his course is approved by such a high authority in the British service as Field-i“ arshal Sir Jn'sn Reta-annals . . The long hoped-for unity of Germany is approaching accomplishment. Treaties have been prepared for the admission of the leading southern states into the Con- ; federation. It. is stated that Mr. F. L. Foster, of Windsor, has received instructions from the Ottawa Government to make a sur- vey of the location in which the United 1 States Government has recently con- structed the canal at the head of lake St. Clair, with a view to ascertain whether it is upon British or United States territory. It is well that this matter should be settled, so that if the leanal is in Canadian waters the point gmay be determined beyond dispute.â€" 3We do not suppose it makes a great - deal of practical difference, but nothing is lost by having the truth determined.

The proposal at this Company is now presented to certain to avnships in the Coum ty of Grey, in a tangible form. Oar ad- vertising columns present the ultimatum of the Board of Directors, in the form of a Byolaw, upon which the electors will be en‘ abled to deliver their verdict, on the 12th procaine. Our readers are aware that this Company has obtained legislative sanction to such an application of the Toronto bonus as does violence to the findings of justice, and that they have succeeded in getting the legislature to sanction the grouping togeth- 'er of Municipalities which may be produc- f tive of results alien to the genius of our l municipal system. We cannot offer a more complete illustration of this idea, than by referring to the debate at Williamsford, when the petition to submit the By-law was under discussion. Some of the Reeves then presentâ€"whether Mr. R. J. Doyle or Mr. Hugh Reid we forget, but it must have been 3 one or both of themâ€"suggested that Arte misia and Proton should be drawn within the charmed circle for the purpose of swelling the vote of those who would be re- lieved just to the extent to which these townships could be coerced. The legisla‘ tion which delegates such power may be used in the interests of tyranny. The By- law now before the pesple mayâ€"if it is concurred in by a majority in each township â€"not be productive of any practical injus- tice, but the power, in the hands of scheming specu'ators, may become an instrument of lamentable social disorganization. l In view ot the popular decision which is now pending, complex issues should not be entertained. The preposition to extend a branch of the Wellington, Grey and Bruce Railway from Harriston to Durham ought to be regarded, for the present, as simply 1 an attempt at diversion. That Company 1 has our sympathy and good wishes. It hasi done something and done it well, but the attempt to Operate on the electors residing south of Durham, in its§favor, will but m- crease the determination of the electors north of Durham in the Opposite course.- We shall not now discuss the probable re- sultof an appeal to Glenelg and Bentinck to furnish, in anything like reasonable pro- portions their quota of the more reasonable sum of $6,000 in aid of the said branch, but the electors who require a railway will be none the worse able to arrive at a proper conclusion by satisfying themselves as to the probability of obtaining the other if the E, one now before them should be rejected.

DEAR Sm,â€"-I am much disappointed as well as grieved, that your endeavnrs, and the endeavors of some others whose letters were published in the Chronicle, to obtain a statemeat of the financial affairs of this township, have been so far unsuccessful. ceived it to be possible that men elect. cd from among their fellows, to do cer. taiu things, for a limited time, as rep- resentatives merely, should have refus- ed to supply certain defects of the state- ment made by the auditors, which de. fects, you stated were such as to mislead the public in reference to the true state of the accounts. I have for sometime been of opinion that a good deal of the money collected from the maple was misapplied. I am strengthened in that Opinion, and will be confirmed in it, if the township Councillors should venture to offer themselves for re-election until they have published a statementâ€"not; in detailâ€"but in substance, of the town- l ship account up to the end this year.-â€"-1 If the Council continue to refuse suchl information, or if they are unable to furnish it, every man of them should he opposed and defeated. If they desire to be reelected,- and deserve to be re- elected, they can succeed by showing that they have managed the business en- trusted to them in a proper manner.-‘- The head of the municipality boasts that he cannot be run out of the Reeve- sbip; that, I presume, will depend upon circumstances. What is wanted is a plain statement of the accounts of the gtovvnship; in the eVent of continued re»- fusal not only every member of the ’ Council, but every officer of the corpo- ration should be replaced. l lntcnd to write again, Mr. Editor, if need be.

I am, yours truly, A RATEPAYEB. P. S.â€"I have just been told, by one of my neighbors, who is aware of my writing this letter, that each member of tha Council, as well as every one of its oflicers, is in a state of blissful ignorance in reference to the accollnts. This I think cannot be possible. The Deputy- Beeve appears to be shrewd and intelli- gent. He ought to make a clean breast of this matter if nobody else will. 0:1,”, mum“ 0] me unramcle. Mn. ,Enr'ronpâ€"As the caption of , these few lines will, for the next few weeks, engross the attention of the pee-i ple of this County more than any other question, I think it would be well that he matter should be thoroughly sifted before granting money to any Railway Company. All admit the necessuy for Railway facilities, but great care should be exercised by the ratepayers, upon whose shoulders the burden must fall,in order that they get a fair equivalent for their money. I observe that a By-law is to be submitted to the ratepayers of svveral of the municipalities of the County of Grey, to aid the Toronto, Grey and Bruce RailWay to the extent = of Four Hundred Thousand Doll'ai‘S. Now, Mr. Editor, this is certainly a V large sum of money to grant in eiperi- wanting in Railway enteprise. I say. experimenting because of the difference of Opinion which prevails in reference to the adaptability of the Narrow Gauge to our climate and the section of coun- try through which it is intended the line shall pass. Do not for one moment suppose that I am an anti-Railway man, but I confess I belong to that class who do not believe in paying to speculators their hard-earned funds without ques- , tioning their motives, and satisfying . lmyselffully that the article for which ' I pay will be reasonable value therefor. I have heard a statement to the effect that while a train of six gravel cars was ; ascending a comparatively slight grade " in the vicinity of Weston, it came to a i stand sti.l. Now, Sir, 1f there be any truth 1n this statement, what will be the state of affairs when they attempt to ,ascend the Caledon Mountains, where the grade is 110 feet in the mile for three miles. Such’rumors should cause ratepayers to reflect before voting their fundsâ€"especially so large an amount-â€" to aid any scheme of doubtful prac . ticability. Although the sum is large, ,yet I believe it would be to the interest the County to grant it, provided the ' Narrow Gauge 13 capable of performing what the promoters of that scheme have all along claimed for it; but we should be satisfied fully upon this point before the money is voted. The policy you have always advocated, Mr. 3 Editor, is, I think, a most prudent one, , to wait until the Company had produc- ll ed their line to the borders of Grey, f then all would be to a position to know whether it is suitable to‘ the demands of this country. It will be poor consola- . tion indeed, to find that after We haiie s placed the burden of debt on our shoul- n ders that the road is next to useless-â€" n. unable to run in Winter timeâ€"which season above all others, eVerybody will concede, is the period when railway fa- cilities are most needed here. 5â€": PI‘. fl!
