TIE SCOTTACT AND THE MINISTERS
OF THE, G09FEL.
To the Editor .of the Clinton New Era.
Draft SIa,---The ministers in the county are,
I believe,almoat smut in favor of the Soott Aot,
There' are perhaps" a few, but not many, op-
posed to it. Those in favor seem to be work
Ing very hardto secure its passage. Against
this nothing can be paid, I, for one, would
gladly hairthe day when our ministers would
take, a deeper interest in other (secular matters
quite as important as the adoption of the
Scott Aot, What I would like to know is
why these same ministers have not put them-
selves in such a position as would enable
them to do far more towards carrying the
Scott: Act than all the public meetings
they can hold? The Assessment Act gives
every one of these ministers the privilege of
being put on the assessment roll, and• of hav
ing the franchise, if they choose to pay taxes
upon $400 of their income. The income of
the ministers in Clinton averages between
$800 and $000 and every one of them mild
have a vote if they
they were so disposed. In the
county there are about 100 ministers, and
their votes would bave a very appreciable ef-
fect upon the result of the coming contest
Most of these must have known for some
time at all events that a trial at the polls was
coming on this question,.and theycould very
eaaily, by the payment of a smal tax, have
been Scott Aot voters, as well as Scott Act
workers. It does seem strange • to me that
whilst the hard working, and sometimes
poorly paid, mechanic, should be charged
with the poll tax,,and-the working, map,..whe
has saved enough. out of his hard-earned.
wages topurchase a little property,- should
.be -fully assessed and;taxed the -minister-, with.
his,salary of $800, 31,000. or. $1,209, should go

rWo have consulted legal authority and have "aseer-
tatnod that under Section 6, 5.8.23, of chap;, 180 Bev.
Stat.; Opt•, "The stipend or salary of any clergyman or
minister of religion, while in 'actual connection with
any church, and doing duty as such clergyman or'
minister, Ie' the, extent of one thousand dollars" Is not.
liable to taxation. As our correspondent points' out,
however this would not necessarily debar theministprs
from bung assessed for sufficient of their income to
become voters. Wo haVe been further informed that
taxation is not the basis of the franchise, and that any
of these ministers who are even occupants of 'places
whosaassessable Yahtete-$30Q0_nd' over,,•in towns and
villages, and 8290 and over, in townships, aro entitled
to be put on the voters' list. Judge Toms 'so.•decided
that point at the Court of Appeal, hold at Londosboro,
in 1872. The other queries of our correspondent have
always been as great a mystery to mails they seem to
be to him. -Eo. New ERA.]
A.DANGEROUS BRIDGE.
To the Editor ofthe .Clintori New Era. •
DEAR SIR,—The oiily time I ever went to
court to take an oath was as • summoned to
give evidence concerning a broken side walk...
The corporation of Oshawa' had thaw : notice
given of its being in an unsafe condition
they might have mended it for .25e....After
injury had been, sustained by a member of my
church falling in crossing to thesanoteary;
the coniioil might have settled with the hus-
band for $100, but they neglected the one,
they refused the other, and then had to 'pay

eery sorry to •go to .court to witness against
the criminal negligence of the authorities in,
relation' tothe bridge on the London road.
You called attention to it in your paper tim
and'again. a while ago, and after leaving it
for days with an opening through which a
horse's foot might pass, a board or two were
supphied and the hole stopped. During the
past week another dangerous hole, just in the
muddle of the bridge, has been left for'days;,)
and no thanks to the authorities that more
than one serious accident has not oociirrfid.
•The boards, many 'ofthem, are rotten, others
require spiking, and, the bridge generally. an
overhauling, and. if the council will' not.. at-
tend to it, the ratepayers; ivho, in case of
damage will' have to foot the bill, • should im-

til we reached our destination by water, and
although the lake was pretty rough, our
stomach stood the teat remarkably well. Now
came not a very pleasant feature in the trip, it
was a ride for 24 mites through the country
on it waggon, over miles of corduroy road. It
was almost impossible to maintain our centre
of gravity daring this ride, but we grinned
and bore it to the end ; finally wereached
our destination, and need I say we were in
splendid trim for a hearty meal. A fide like
this seems to help the digestive organs to
perform their duty. After a good rest we
prepared to see the country. Well, after
leaving Huron with its well -cleared, farms
and finebuilbings, this new conntry did not
seem very attractive at first sight, but at
length it rose somewhat in our estimation.
Fire has been over a great part of this coma,
try, and there bas sprung; up a dense growth.
of underwood. The soil seems to be quite.
fertile, and"erops on the whole are very good.
The laud is very level and consequently wet,
and this hinders farmers considerably during
seeding. The bpildings: are something, the
same as those seen In most new countries,
with• the exception of barna, which aro very
good. After spending a few days' visiting
friendsand taking iuitne scenery, wewended
our way back over the corduroy and finally
arrived rit the Sault, where we expected to
see our boat waiting, but she was two days
behind, so we had to console ourselves with
what ever presented ' itself. At length the
old Qaebeo put in an appearance, and we
•were Boon on our homeward journey. We.
sailed right through to Sarnia, touching only
at Bruce Mines and Helton. This was a very
pleasant sail and accomplished in 28 hours.
We reached Seaforth about 9 o'clock, Friday
night, thus ended a pleasant trip. T. N.

'TEMPERANCE. ..
To the Eilito of Glee` New Era.
.
A Kansas. subscriber sends us tiie,following:
There is beauty in temperance like that which
is protrayed in virtue, and indeed it is a clean
ally, of both, and, like, them,; has that all per-
vading essence and quality which :chastens
thefeelings, invigorates the mind, and dis-
plays the .perfection of the soul jn the very,
aspect,: like water from the fill,. rain from the.
blond, or light from the . heavenly bodies.
The thought issues pure "from: within, re
freshing, "unsullied. end •• radiant, there is no:
grossness, no dross, no corruption, . for tem-
perance, when fully realized,. is full of loveli=
nese and joy; and'virtue and purity are the
lineaments in which it lives. Temperance
a: virtue without' pride, and fortune without
'envy, the best guardian ?of youth and support
of old age, the preceptor of reason as well as.
'of religion, and physician of the soul as well'
as the body, the teetotaler` goddess of health,
and universal medicinellof life: What, then, •
•sty friend, is intemperance? Perhaps yoa.
have. heard of. 'Robert Ingersoll, I do: not
think. he has ever been charged with being
a religions enthusiast or temperance fanatic,.
now listen a moment to what he has uttered
upon this subject, In an address delivered a
few inonthi ago' he said, ''Alcohol' is the blood
of the gambler, the inspiration of the burglar,
the stimulous of the highwayman, ,and the
support of the midnight incendiary ; it sag,
ggeste the lie,: and countenances the liar, con-
dones"the thief and esteews'the-blasphemer.
it violates obligation, 'reverences fraud; turns
love to hate, acorns virtue and innocenceOff-
.spring,
it
incites the father to butcher his helpless.. off•
's ring, and the child to sharpen the fratici-
dal axe: Alcohol borne up men, consumes
women, destroys life, curses God and despises,
heaven, it suborns witnesses, nurses perfidy,
defiles the jury'box, and stains the judicial
ermine, it bribes voters, disqualifies votes,
corrupts elections, 'pollutes our inatitutions,
endangers the government, degrades the citi
zen, debases the legislator, dishonors the
statesman, and disarms the patriot;; it brings
shame, not honor, terror, not safety; despair,
not hope, misery, not happiness, and With the
Malevolence of a, fiend tcalmly surveys its
.frightful desolation, and revelling in havock
it poisons felicity, destroye peace and' ruins
morale, wipes out national honor, curses the
world and laughs at the ruin it has wrought.
It does that and more, it murders the soul,
it ie the Sum of all vilenoso, the father of all
crimes, the mother, of all aboulinations, the
devil's best friend, and God'e worst enemy."
If a man of the observation, intelligence and
belief of Ihgersoll can thus depict the awful
censequenecs .arising from the use of •intoxi-
cants, tell me What law is too severe to pro
tect the.pcople, . • •
