It looks as if tato solicitor for the Tory ,i petitioner in West Huron had made au ` error in fyling his petition against the return of M. C. Cameron, M. P., for West Huron. His legal knowledge ap- pears to have been at fault, and the chances are that Mr. Cameron will re- main in' undistsrhod possession 4 the seat. By the recent change in the Pro- vincial Lsw in the adoption of the Judi- cature Act, three Divisions were creed in the High Court of Justice of Ontario - the Chancery Division, the Common Pleas Divison. and the Queen's Bench Division, and is one or other of these all the cases to be brought before dart had to be tried, s.tve and except such as were specified in section 87 of the miscel- laneous provisions of the Judicature Act, w'ich is as follows: "Nothing in the act, or in the Schedule thereto, effects or is intended to effect the practice or procedure In criminal matters or motters connected with the Dominion con- troverted oo-troverted electionsor proceedings on the Crown or Reverse side of the Queen's Bench or Conlon Pleas Division." • 1 r Tire East Haroa Tories have ..!shad Thos. Hays, of MMKiUop es their ken. third bearer et the Local Election ,Que Tuesday next tie Reformist will trot at Brussels to ehouee the canna who is to beat him. t►wtvo to hard times a number et ar- dent Tubes could not attend the big pow -wow at Toronto on Wednesday. Yet some of these same ardent Tories grew purple with shouting •boat the gbod Mites during the late election. The N. P. is a humbug, and these ardent Tories know Tut Bothwell conspirators are in a bad fix, Judge Hagerty having refused to strike out the election petition on ao count of a technical objection As the conspirators hare Yawed all their hopes of Ifwinjull Use seat on a technical ist‘lat- io ,i3 leo as if they ham a slue irons of winning the ease. It the Bothwell sooundrelum were to pass through the Courts uncheeked, we might well fear foe the safety of par political liberties, the honor of our smuts of justice, and the continuance of an unfettered fru:- chime. The simple question of right or armor is the one which should prevail with every court, great or small. o Tis Tory papers are writing a lot of puerile stuff about the "eight vacant seats." Are not all the seats is the Provincial Legislature vacant at this time of year 1 If the House meets be- fuse o-fuse the bye -elections Dome off, our con- temporaries can show some mounds for complaint. At present they have None. Wath the Star stated in its last Msue the Tae SIGNAL had not dealt in a fair and impartial manner with Mr. Campion in the matter of the alleged conwpincy set Mr. Grace, it stated whet was false, and what it can not substantiate. We have avoided mentioning the "con- spiracy" case editorally, in our columns, for the reason that it reflected no credit upon any of the persons connected there- with. We have no desire to do so now, hut if Mr. Campion is anxious to have his "dirty linen" washed is public we have out the slightest objection. The solicitor for the Tory petitioner in sublime innocence of Sec. 87, entered his petition in the Queen's Bench Divis- ion of the High Court of Justice, and now exception is taken to his action by Mr. Cameron's solicitors on the ground that the Court is which it is fyled is not a competent court of Jurisdiction. This is one objection raised to the further prosecution of the petition, and it seems to he well taken w the premises. Another objection is that an extension of time was required to effect service of the protest on Mr. Cameron, and that the extension of time was obtained from Hon. Mr. Justice Osler, of the Common leas Division, who had no jurisdiction hatevtr in the Queen's Bunch Division, herein the petition was entered. It is contended, and with good reason, by Mr. Cameron's solicitors, that the ex- tension of time for ser •ice should have been made by a judge of the Queen's Bench Division in which the ease was entered, and not by a judge of a court which had no jurisdiction in the case. These are the principal exceptions taken, and it would appear that either one would be sufficient to invalidated the petition and render it void in law. We append the preliminary exceptions taken to the petition by the respondent, wherein some of the mendacious asser- tions advanced by the petitioner are mercilessly exposed: 1. This Honorable Court has had, no jurisdiction in the matter of controvert- ed elections of members of the House "f 'Commons of Canada conferred upon it, either by the Dominion Controverted Elections Act, in pretended pursuance whereof the petition herein his been tiled, or by any other act of the Parlia- ment of Canada. 2. The said petition was presented on the twelfth day of August. A. D. 1882, but the respondent was not within the time limited by the Statutes and rules of Court in that behalf served with notice of the presentation of the said petition, or of the security given therewith, nor with a copy of the said petition which the respondent is ready to verify. 3 The pretended order extending the time for serving such petition and notices t obtained by the petitioner, and purport- ing to be made by the Honorable Mr. Justice Osler is ultra rirrr and void. inasmuch as the said the Honorable Mr. .Justice Osler `ad no jurisdiction to snake the same, and the pretended ser- vice effected in pursuance of the said order is therefore ineffectual and in- valid. 4. The respondent farther ears that the eighteenth paragraph of the said ought to be struck out and est aside with costa, because it alleges undue influence to have been exercised by the Govern- ment of the Province of Ontario at the said election, in the interest and on be- half of the respondent. and in order too aid him in his candidature. and because no agency on the part of the 'aid Gov- ernment of the Province of Onterio of or for the respondent cause no such agency, even f sufficiently alleged, could in law exist 5. The respondent further says that the twentieth paragraph of the said pe- tition ought to be struck exit and set aside with costs, because the matters therein set forth are not as enable to the petitioner, inasmuch as he does qi,t in and by his said petition claim the seat for Robert Porter in the acid petition named, end because the said paragraph does tint and cannot allege it as a ratter to be peeved at the trial that the per eons in the said paragraph referred t.• voted fnr the respondent; and because the said paragraph is virttasll a demand for a serwtiny of votes, wb*s ender the Statutes in fore. with mord to elec• tions of members of the Riese of Com- mons in Canada cannot be had. THE London Adrerfiser gets in a hard drive at the chief Tory organ in the fol- lowing paragraph: -"The Toronto Mail is endeavoring to prove that tavern- keepink has degenerated; that the men w ho now keep licensed houses have en- couraged drunkenness and crime, and that the Province has, of late, gone from a moral point rapidly down hill. Is this so ? Are the ions and hotels now kept by a lower class of men than they were a few years ago? They are mostly Tory. Are they what the Mail paints them ? What can they say in defence of them- selves ?" AT no time of the year does Goderich look prettier than at the present. The trees have attained their growth for the season, and in most cases are at their fullest density of foliage. The leading avenues are lined with profusely leaved shade trees, and the vistas looking to- wards the court house are charming. As yet the ground is unstrewn with fallen leaves, although here and there a tree, kissed by the early frost, bears a tell- tale blush. The sunlight dancing on the waves gleams merrily, and the high banks overlooking the harbor are cloth- ek with dark green. Goderich is glori- ous in September. 'Fitz editor of the Mail is better ac- quainted with slang than with arithme- tic, if we judge oy his diatribes against the Local Government on the question of the Crooks Act. He scoffs at the pos- sibility of an improvement being made by the present system in the way of moderate drinking, when a licensed dealer can sell as much, if not more, liquor than before' y the number of hotels and grogaeries are decreased, does not that mean heavier sales of liquor for each of the remaining stands doing bus- iness ? If the Crooks Act insists that but five hotels shall sell liquor in a mun- icipality where perhaps ten or fifteen taverns and groggeries flourished before, doesn't that mean an increased sale for the privileged few who enjoy a license it they do net double or treble their business after the grogeeries are abolish- ed, then the conenmption id liquors must have diminished since the Act came into force.

Tax titer doesn't see a plot in the pre- sent Tory protest against the return of M. C. Cameron, M.P. The New York Mar and World which were in the ring in the Tammany trwrsactions couldn't see a plot in the actions of Boss Tweed and his confederates. The obtaining of $1,000 from the greenhorns of the Tory party to enter • proi rt against MrCatn- eron's return, and the entering of the petition in the wrong court, w that of the $1,000 would revert the wire -pollen, looks "fishy," to may the least. The munipulaton saved $000 to themselves after the last protest fizzle against Mr. Cameron, and the cutanea are they will make bigger haul this time. The attar is the official organ of the protest -mongers, and we would like to know how much per cent of the subscribed stock in the previous protest was returned to the dupes who subscribed to raise the $1,000. The present protest scheme is really a dodge by a few needy Tories in this sec- tion to. -raise the wind." THE Tories .4 Lucknow-if there are any in that thriving village -must be considerable put out by the cavalier manner in which Sir John Macdonald 1. has treated them and their 'neighbors in the matter of the Northern Games. Early its the season Sir John was invited to attend the games and witness the greatest Scotch gathering on the contin- tineut. The chieftain, we understand, agreed to be present, if his public duties did not interfere with his attendance. it was known that the games would be held on Wednesday, Sept. 13th, but John tailed to connect. And what is the reason ? Simply this, that Sir John chose Wednesday, Sept., 13th on which to hold the grand Ti•ry Convention in Toronto, at which he as the great incu- bator of the party would hatch out the policy for the Opposition to pursue against Mr. Mowat at the easing elec tion. There are some who contend that Kir John made the meetings clsah as a petty spite on the people of Weet Huron and Bruce for the election of Cameron and Wells at the last election. 11 such be the ase it is easy to see who the 1 '•small potatoes" Premier is, and Huron and Bruce will remember the fact in the time to enure Tar howl of the Mail against the Crook's Act is loud, and deep and long - continued. The Act, according to the Mail has increased crime, added to the number of drunkards, and degraded the hotel -keepers of the Province. The Mail wants to bring back the good old days of "sheebeens" on every corner, whiskey galore in every grocers, and rampant drunkenness on every street. The "gentleman's journal" is bidding low for aid when it wants to court the tavor of those who would be willing to see a return of the bumming days of the olden time. Even the hotel -keepers, whose support itcovets,depreate the idea of free trade in whiskey, as •was the ase previous to the introduction of the act. The Tory hotel -keepers in this section prefer the law aa it now stands, and con- tend that it has given a solidity and standing to their business not preciously enjoyed. They believe the abolition of the Crooks' Act would result in the es- tablishment of low groggeries which would be detrimental to their trade, and and inflict great injury upon them. Li- quor at all times, in all places, and un - all circumstances seems, however, to be a broad plank in the Tory platform, and the Mail in his crusade for enlarged trade in alcohotic stimulant is but fol- lowing out the line laid down by that much -experienced anti -temperance advo- cate, Sir John Macdonald, who, at Lon- don a few years ago, put the cap -sheaf en an oration, with a similar effect in view, by recititing to an enthusiastic audience the polished refrain : "Damn my eyes. if ever I tries To rob the poor man of his beer." The "Nall" and Rea. Mr. Itewat. The Mail has been preparing for the fray by bragging every other day that the province will send to the right about "Mr. Mowat and his Hardys and Par- dee.," "his Frasers and blazers." "hie "bummers and bailiffs;" it speaks of "all "the extensive patronage now controlled "by the gang," and uses many other choice epithets too numerous to men- tion, all winding up with a hysterical declaration that "Mr. Mowat must go." Mr. Mowat can safely await the popular verdict with calor confidence that he will have a renewed lease of power. He has administered affairs wisely and well, and the perople of Ontario are not going to turn him out to please the Tory leaders at Ottawa and the followers in the local hcuae.-(Lindsay Post. !ries /.

He stripped at about 200 IM. un Wednes- day last, and was beyond question the finest proportioned heavy athlete on the ground.

This The great northern games, which have gained hoc Liacktuw a reputation and a manes, wherever athletes or lovers of Sc,tdi gases live, were held in that cill.►ge ou Wednesday last, the 13th lust., sad eurlsesed all previous repte- seutatiuws in attendance, and the num- ber of athlete* sad other competitors present. Great preparations had been made by the residents of Lucknow, eo that Highland hospitality would Ms ex- tended to the inhabitants of the outside world who on Caledonian Day take pus - session of the village, and for the time be- ii.g identify themselves with it. Seery larder was tilled as if preparing for a heavy siege, and the result proved that the sage providers of good cheer were wise its their day and generation. On Tuesday afternoon the visitors be- gan to come in by train, and the late evening train brought up nearly all of the athletes and other competitors, to gether with the aboriginal bane from the Saugeen reservation. The •.sesical ly inclined red men were much taken with weird strains that were ever and anon squeezed out of the bagpipes by Piper McLean, and the drone, when 1 assumed full power, appeared to "catch' them every time. They gazed with sur prise, awe and wonderment at the in struinent from which the martial strains came, and, nu doubt, had kindled in their breasts The stirring memory of a thousand yearr. And Brant a. Tecumseh's fame rang In their Saugeea earn. er words to that effect. The night trait to Lucknow wan an hour and a quarter late, bringing the hour of its arrive close to midnight, but notwithstanding this fact, the station platform was crowd ed with Lucknowites of all ages and sexes, who had gathered to welcome the visitors. The members of the press were taken in charge by Mr. D. E. Cameron, -who• year by year under takes the amine heavy contract, to which up -ending a caber is a mere bagatelle - and escorted to the residence of that gentleman, where excellent aceommoda tion was their ,xortion.

THE TVG OF WAR was, as usual, ankffair t'f great excite- ment. Year by year Bru_e had pulled Huron over the score, and the changed conditions this year, whereby the tug w$' arranged to be between ten con- stables of Huron and ten of Bruce, had raised high hopes in Huron's sympath- isers that Huron's representatives would carry the day on this occasion. The Bruce team, however, as seen as they seized their end of the rope appeared to have the "win" in them: they were a heavier and more solid set all the way through, and from the first, the result was settled. Two straight draws over the score by Bruce did the busineu. Huron was captained by J. O. Currie and Bruce by J. H, McHardy. ( erle FEATI-REA. There were a number of other interes- ting features of the day which contrib- uted to make the witnessing of the events a thing to pp remembered. The 102 yards fa,t race of the piess repre- aentatives was one of these; the Indian war dance was another; and so was the dancing of the laddies and lassies in H ighland costume; and the hotel -keepers' race, and the commercial men's race, but our space will not enable us to more than merely mention them.
