Widdleton, Colin €. MeFayden, Daniel Keith, Alexander Taylor, THE REVIEW. Durham, December 4, 1879. That Sir John A. MeDonald is a consumâ€" mate tactician will be admitted by many ; that he is in any sense a statesman will be contended by very few. â€" His whole course wbundantly shows that he has the art, in A majority of the people have condoned his | past oftences, and by their votes have deâ€"| elared to the world that honesty and upâ€" rightness of character they hold of no aeâ€" eount in the adumnistration of puablic affairs, And Sir John has taken them at their word, and is not slow to remind them of it. The Hon. gentleman is very unfortunate in his reference to Aristides. â€" Mistory informs us that an Athenianâ€"not the Athenians, as Sir John puts itâ€"gave as his reason for ostracising Aristides, that he was "weary of hearing him called Just." But this Athenâ€" ian, who was no doubt an example of his elass, was so illiterate that he could not even write the name of Aristides on his shell ; and as the ancient republic was not long iu repenting of their folly, aod very soon restored Aristides to greater confidence and power than he possessed before, so we may hope that the Canadian peopie have already repented of their folly, aud wik seize the first opportuw ty of placing the government of the cvautry in Ih»ha.chd‘l bouest meu. «*4 ers on at Ottawa he glories with the most extraordinary effrontery in the success which crowned these efforts at corraption in 67. "But gentlemen" says the Premicr, "The country got tired of too mucl: exeelâ€" lence. â€" (Laughter.) The people could not elevate themselves to that great moral type which the late Administration set up and exemplified in all they did. (Continued laughter.) â€" When they ostracised Aristides from Athens, when the Atheaian was asked why he voted to banish Aristides, he said, ‘Oh, we are weary of hearing him called just;‘ and so the country was weary of the professions of purity and merality of the late Administration, and they returned to their old state of immorality, to their old state of Tory effeteuess and corruption, (Laughter.) So here we are, as Mr. Lowe said the other day in England, pardoned sinners with all our sins on our heads, and we are accopted by the people of Canada in preference to those purisw." Not very eomplimentary certainly to lis audience, and still less so to the moral intelligence of the country. â€" However, Sir John is right. New Advertisements this Week. SIR JOHX AT OTTAWA. d se Pricevilie. Gienelg. Moistein The President of the United States has sent his Message to Congress. It is, as is usually the case, a very lengthy document. It begins with an allusion to the revival of trade and the financial condition of the Republic. Mr. Hayes then proceeds to disâ€" euss, among other subjects, the commercial relation of the United States with other countries, the advisability of an early reâ€" tarn to hard money, the prevention of : polyzaray and the reform of the CivilService On the last subject, he says :â€" "The tenure of office of those filling| subordinate places in the Civ‘l Service should not depend upon the prevalence of amy policy or the supremacy of any party, but should be determined by their capacity to serve the people most usefully, and quite irrespective of partisan interests. The same eonsiderations that should govern their tenure should also prevail in the appointâ€" ment, discipline, and removal of these subordinates. The authority of appointâ€" ment and removal is not the perquisite which may be used to aid a friend or reâ€" ward a partisan, but is a trust to be exerâ€" cised in the public interest under all sencâ€" ins which attend the obligation to apply the publhic funds only for public purposes. Every citizen has an equal right to the honour and profit of entering the public | service of his country, and the only just ' ground of discrimination is the measure of character and capacity he has to make that service most useful to the people. Except in cases where upon just and recognized principlesâ€"as upon the theory of pensions â€"oflices and promotions are bestowed as rewards for past services, their bestowal upon any theory which disregards nersonal | merit is an act of injustice to a citizen, as well as a breach of that trust subject to which the appointing power is held. The President says it is of great importance to provide just and adequate mensures for asâ€" certaining the personal fitness of persons to be appointed to office." Larox Frue at Markoars.â€"About eight o‘clock on Wednesday night last, an alare of fire was given, and on proceeding to the sceune we found the foundry completely enâ€" veloped in flame. 1t appears that one of the employees was walking through the building with a lighted lamp in his hand, when he struck his foot against a projecting board, thereby causing the lamp to fall amongst a qnantity of shavings, which imâ€" mediately ignited, and before any assistâ€" ance to exting:ish the fire cou‘!d be had, the whole building was enshrouded in flame. | The main building was 40x60 feet ; mouldâ€" ing shop 26x50, and the Llacksmith shep 24x30 ; all of frame. The tools, patterns, aud in fact evervthing connected with the business was destroyed. There was an inâ€" surance of abont $2,200 ; this covers but a small part of the loss sustained, which is sauid to be fully $6,000. We deeply symâ€" pathize with Messrs. Mabee & Cornwaill, the proprietors, in their loss, a great loss to them, as it also is to the village and neighâ€" burnood..â€"2x;, .« .tor.

Townsend ; Viceâ€"President, E. D. MeMillan ; Secretary, J. H. Davidson ; Treasurer, K. MeFarlane, Jr. There is a good attendance, and inâ€" creasing interest in the Reform cause. At the meeting on Friday evyening next, a deâ€" bate on Protection" will take place. The world moves, and truth will in the long run triamph,. In the United States the recognised political doctrine on this »ul jeet has been,that "‘to the vietors belong the spoils," with the resuli that no Civil Service is in so effete and demoralized a condition as that of the United States. But «t is satisfuctory to observe that the evil is now felt to be of such magnitud:, n1 so in jurious to the well being of the nation, that the President has seen fit to dwell with such emphasis upon the much needed reâ€" form. In Great Britain admission to the Civil Service, has, for many years, been by competitive examination and personal fitâ€" ness of the applicant, with the most beneâ€" ficiil results to the service itself,to members of Parliament, and their constituencies. It A Linerar Orerr.â€"We will club the Review with The Presbyterian, including two splendid Steel Engravings, "Meeting of Wellington and Blucher after the Battle of Waterloo" and "The Death of Nelson," all for $2.65 cash: The Engravings are well worth the money.

Tus party of surveyors, who have been allotted the work of surveying the Georgian Bay and Wellington Railroad, on the seeâ€" tion between Durham and Owen Sound, arrived in the latter place on Tuesday last. is to be hoped that the Government of Canada will follow the good example thus set before them, for it is only when the Civil Service is entirely removed from the sphere of party politics, that a proper economy can be introduced into this deâ€" partment and that the service itselt will be efliciently performed. Nothing could more clearly show the necessity of such reform in Canade than the manipulations of offices effected at Ottawa since the Government of Sir Jolin A. Macdonald came into power.

In another columu will be found a nct‘ce the Oratorio of Esther which 'illbo‘ ven in the Town Hall, on Tuesday and ednesday evenings. â€" This entertaincent has been given in many of our towns and cities and has always been well received, and drawn crowded houses for several nights in succession. The scene, as our readers well know, is laid in an Oriental court. Some of the characters will be dressed in the gorgeous costumes of the East, while others will appear in the quiet garb of the Jew. The singing is said to be exceptionally fine. Altogether the enterâ€" tainment will give a lively and impressive representation of a state of things which has long since passed away, and will be | well worthy of popular support. Moreover "us the Mechanies‘ Institute is directly inâ€" terested in its success, it should unquesâ€" ‘ tionable be well patronized by the people of Durham and the neighbourhood. On Suaday morning last Mr. Thos. Muâ€" tart, who lives on the Garafraxa Road,about two miles south of Durham, on the Norâ€" manby side, discovered that his pocketâ€" book, containing about $47, had been stolen out of his pocket, and a hole cut in the other one. He at once suspected a man named George Clark who had been looking after the farm fora few days while Mr. Mutart went to Chesley and back. The hole in the pocket led to Clark‘s being susâ€" pected as it was made with a kuife, and was in the one on the right side, while the pocketâ€"book was taken out of the one on the left side. Mr. Mutart came to Durham and having got out a warrant, Constables McKay and Johnston went after Clark,who by this time had disappeared. They followâ€" ed him up to the Rocky where they found Clark, who had gone up the hack line through Bentinck and came out on the Gravel Road at the Rocky, when he was taken into eustody and brought to Durham. On Monday merning he was brought before Mzraxcrotcy Drowsixa Accivext. â€" Cayuga, Dece. 1.â€"About three miles from Cayuga on Sunday afternocn, Nov. 80th, two children of Wm. Leroy, tirmer, a boy and a girl and a daughter ot Benj. Foster were found drowned in a small pond near Leroy‘s dwelling. The pond being partially covered with ige, it is supposed they went out for amusement, and broke through. The chiliren‘s ages tranged from eight to‘ fourtesa y.ars. * Ayrox.â€"Mr. ‘P.

He was taken to Owen Sound on Monday. This part of the country seems to be a favorite abode for bears this fall ; one or more being seas almost every day around the swamps of Sullivan and Holland, just north of Giiffia‘s Corners. Several hunts have been organized. Only one bear has been captured, but another is likely to be captured toâ€"day, as he was shot through twice yesterday, but filling the wounds with Moss he procceded on his way, loosâ€" ing some blood. The hunters followed him till dark and are on the track toâ€"day. There are plenty more for successful hunts, two more having been pursued yesterday. Latona, Dec. 2nd, 2879. Soctar GaATHERING.â€"A gathering of the members aud friends of Duffering Lodge, I. 0. 0. F., was held in the Lodge Room, on Tuesday evening, the 18th ult. The singimg by Messrs, Anderson and Camphbell was good, also a comick reading by Mr. Campbell, was well rendered â€" causing roars of laughter. We wish the Lodge success. Axsiversary Services were held as anâ€" nounced. . Rev. C. Fish gave two splendid sermons, one in the morning from the words "The Lord Loveth the Gates of Zion," 2nd verse of the 87 Psalm ; and in the evening from the words found Exodus, 14th Chapter, 15th verseâ€""Go Forward." In the afternoon Elder Hawkins gave a sermon full of cheer to the christian from the words, "And whosoaver liveth aud beâ€" lieveth in me shall never die :" found St. Johns Gospel, 1ith Chapter, and 26th verse. Both afternoon and evening services were well attended. The concert on Monday evening was well attended,the singing good, and the remarks of the Elder full of wit and good sense,. The concert on Thursday evenâ€" ing was a failure as far as the audience goes, but the singing well up to Monday evenings. We suppose there wou‘!d have been a much better house had the weather been fine, but it rained very hard. The trust fund receives about tortyâ€"five dollars clear of all expense. _ We wish the trustees suceess ; but think the heating "apparatus" and "method of ventilation" might be imâ€" proved in the church.

Audrew‘s Day wus geuerally observed thronghout Canada last Monday night â€"the day proper falling this year on Sunâ€" day. A correspondent at Ayton writes to the Mount Forest Confederate, in reference to the late fatal shooting acceident as folâ€" lows :â€" A sad accident occurred in the township ) of Bentinek. which resulted in the death of‘ Mr. Geo. Kleinschrot, formerly of Ayton, but who for the past three years hasresided on his farm,sbout six miles from Allanpark, in the towuship of Bentinck, â€" ‘The cireuamâ€" stanees, as far as we have learnt, are as follows : Mr. K., along with two other men, were assisting Mr. Heury Semcke to get out shingle bolts, and, as they were some turee or four miles from home, had taken dinner with them and had just finished eating it beside a small fire, when Mr. K. took an axe and proceeded to the tree on which they had been at work, and while he was in the act of stepping on to the fallen tree with one hand resting on the handle of the axe,a gun shot was heard. Immediately Mr. K. notieed that his hand had been struck and the little finger cut away, the next one damaged, and the axe handle shattered. â€" Mr. Scmeke, who had followed Mr. K., distinctly heard the ball whizz elose in front of him,but although considerâ€" l ably frightened he proceeded to bandage the mutilated hand. He also sent tbe‘ other two men to see who had shot. They: soon rcturned with the two sports, Mesers.. Fensom and Jones who had been out deer hbunting, and noticing a movement through the bushes Mr. Fensom had fired his rifle. { Their horror may be better imagined than described when they found that instead of a deer they hed shot a man. When they had al! viewed the wound they congratuâ€" lated one another that the affair had turned out so favorable, but alas, how little did hey dreatu of what would be the result of even that small wound in the band. Dr. Gun, of Durkam, was at once sent for and ¢ontinued to attend the wounded man up to the time of his death. It appears that the wound bled very little and became swollen up as far as the elbow where it reâ€" mained for about a week, but afterward continued to swell up the arm until it reachâ€" ed the body and in short, ten days after the recidcnt, resulted in death. Mr. Kleinâ€" sehrot leaves a wile and two children and many frierds in this section to mourn his untimely end. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings last the people of Holstein and viciuity enjoyed a treat not soon to be forâ€" goiten by those who enjoyed it, viz : three of Mr. MceConkey‘s popular temperance lectures. To attempt a description of these would be useless, as they must be heard to be fully appreciated. _ As an evidence of the speaker‘s ability, it may just be stated that 135 were induced to sign the pledge. On Wedneslay evening a public entertainment was given in aid of the Lecturer. Followâ€" ing is the programme as rendered, Rev. Mr. Redmond occupying the chair : "Turn Away," choir, Mrs. Cushnie presiding at ‘ the organ ; Reading, "When a Scotchman may be Considered Drunk," Mr. P. Thair ; *We‘ll Crown them with Roses," choir ; Dialogue, "The Crooked Tree," Misses Atkinson and Millen ; Song, Mr. D. Keith; Reading, "Satan and the Grogâ€"Seller," Mr. G. R. Gilroy ; "Whosoever will may come," choir ; Dialogue, "Not so Bad as it Seems," Misses Atkinson and Millen. Mr. Meâ€" Conkey then addressed the meeting for about half an hour, giving a description of dehrium tremens. At the close Mr. McC. again entreated all to sign the pledge. The result has already been told. The people of Holstein, for some time past somewbhat dormant on temperance, have been fully aroused to their duty by the soulâ€"stirring appeals of Mr. MoCoukey,â€"Confederate, The Late Fatal Accident in Bertinck.

The | supposition is that with the heavy load aud the gale that was blowing at the time, a wave struck her and stove in her bulwarks filling her hold with water, and thus causâ€" ing her to sink at once, and in going down, the air getting under her lighter upper works forced them, with her floating deck luud.' off, the hull with the remainder of the cargo, passengers and crew all going to the bottom without a moments warning. Of course it is unpossible to fix the exact locality of the terible disaster ; but from the point where the portions of the wreck have been found, and the direction of the prevailing winds, ‘wu should say it would be only some six or seven miles south of the Wostern Islands, on her regular course between here and l Parry Sound. ‘l Mr. Jaines Carr, of West Oxford, has had nis house burglarized to the extent of I“W in cash and two gold watches and ‘ chaius.

In treating of greenbacks, those j>urnals which do not advise theirentire withdrawal recommend that the Treasary should purâ€" chase, by issuing bonds, a dollar in gold for every paper dollar issue? by the Governâ€" ment. But the great majority of Republican organs,and very many Democratic journal¢, are in favour of retiring the Government notes, and though the present Congress may not see the expediency of the proposal, it is probable that its opponents may have difficulty in preventing its being carried out. Certainly the most thoughtful of the United States people are determined that the currency shall in future be on a par with gold, aud to render inflation imposâ€" slble, are ansious that the Government notes, which are liable to be issued in excess if the legal tender clause continues, should be quite swept away. The abolition of that clause alone is an insuflicient security, beâ€" cause it might easily be revived, whereas if the greeubacks were retired the difficulty oi reâ€"issue would be very great,. No one doublts that something is saved to the Govâ€" ernmenxt by the greenback issue, and the rermiimess of the business community to sacrifice the profit thus obtained indicates how very much they dread a recurrence of the disasters that were brought mbout by the late inflation. In view of the Canadian agitation for an issue of incouvertible Go â€" erument notes, the lesson tuught by the fears of our shrewd neighbours, who have suffered and grown wise,is most important. The destruction of the Americar greenback is only a question of time, though the proâ€" cess wili be expensive, and the spectacle of the United States becoming more prosperâ€" ous under the hard money regime will efâ€" fectually dispose ot the insignificant Cunaâ€" dian rag money movement. â€" Toeronto Globe. Hard Money wanted by the United States. The President‘s message recommends the withdrawal of all greenbacks from cirâ€" culation, on the ground that the system of Governm»nt notes is financially unsoun‘, and at the same time probably unconstituâ€" tional in time of peace. Secretary Sherâ€" man‘s report on the Treasury does not go quite so far as the President‘s message, but he advises that the cireulation of greenlacks should be curtriled, and that the clause making them legal tender should be repealâ€" ed. They would thus be made a mere proâ€" missory note,like those issued by the banks, and as gold could at any time be demanded for them it would be impossible that they could be inflated. Waubuno.
