We briefly referred last ween: to the pe- tition that is being circulated, asking ter a commutation of the sentences on the Beauiishes. Personally' we have nothing against any member of the unfortunate family, but we believe that the circulation of tie petition is wrong. The object is to get leading citizens in the county to sign it and timeSstxirey_the.idea-that°it-is an influential petition. Everyone knows that business men and others, in a case of this kind, do not bother -reading a petition •—and-fregnently •sign -ccs' :. rid:' bf it, WiCila their views may really be in an opposite direction, and we venture the assertion that not one-fifth of those who -have al- ready signed the petition, gave it a moi mane's thought when they didso. We have heard numbers of people: from Huls lett and East Wawanosh express empha- tic disapproval of the petition, and ,the probability is that a petition on the op- posite side will be got up.. We fancy that. Judge Wilson, when trying the .case, formed his opinion and gave his judgment in accordance with the facts there brought out, and this petition is'a dii`ect i iusn t to his judgment. Those who violate the law in t outrageous manner should abi consequences. If they are a way considered by souse their own look out, a anticipated. Let the idea that peace will o punishment state of a some o open o most by the alt with in arsh, that is lould have been' ividuals once get ant breaches of the be treated with light d we shall soon have . a. s similar to that existing in e Western States, where law is et at defiance. We profess to be e :...:...,e and charitable in„ treat= t of criminnis ,as any one else;. but stice must be done regardless of any sen= timental feelings. If the petitioners on behalf of the Beamishes wish to find a true expression of opinion, let them go out to East Wawanosh or Hullet, where the un- fortunate Maine resided, and there try to secure signatures to the petition they. are circulating., _ COUNTY' TOWN AGITATIONS Last week three deputations represent- ing the towns of Harriston, Essex'Centre,' and Windsor, waited upon Mr.Mow .t and asked for changes to be made in the lova_ tion' of county towns. From the repro septa! ions made to hint it is evident that good reasons exist for county town changes being nide in the several localities repre- sented. But none of them have as strong reasons as can be advanced foe a change in the county of Huron, and we believe it is time some decisive action was taken here, The lrresent location -of the eounty' town of Huron is an injustice to three-fourths of the inhabitants. 'Very few who have business to transact there; go until they are compelled, because it is inconvenient to get there and just as inconvenient to get away. The county seat of any county should be so situated that all the inhabi- tants thereof could transact their business: with a reasonable degree of facility and. pleasure. They cannot do so in this coun- ty. Even the people ofGoderich them- selves admit that it is not it suitable place for the county buildings. Then we believe it is the duty of the government to atop in and make such changes as will be for the interests of the people. The buildings at Crorinrieh are old, some of them too small, and must soon be replaced. The jail has been condemned for years, the registry oflice is too small, and the court ' room is so outrageously at variance with acoustic principles of architecture that no speaking can be heard intelligently, therefore, a considerable sum must be spent foe the requirements of the coun- ty, under any circumstances. If a vote were taken in Huron to -day on the ques- tion of erecting new buildings in sdme other place than Goderieh, wo believe it would be sustained by a sweeping niftjer- ity. It is an injustice that the buildings sbould be at Goderich,. iiow rnuch'long- er is it going to remain such. Is the evil to be perpetuated. Generally when an exists, public opinion sooner or later demands a remedy. We believe it would be so in this case, ifthe people of the coun- ty were given an opportunity hf express- ing tbeir opinion hereon. rY ell etiou in Megantic (Quebec) for the Local house came off last Thursday, resulting in a victory for the Libcrttl can - (Mate, \Er.
