If-the Franchise Bill is. such an unpopular measure with the people —with Grit, Tory, and Independent —as the Grits allege it to be, they would cease their obstruction, allow it to .pass with a mild protest and turn the Tories put at the next ejection on account of the iniquity of the measure. But the Grits know that the chief opposition'to to the Franchise Bill arises from-a sggr'tainty.Ahs^^w^^jl^ provisions are fully understood it will be acknowledged by the ppo|Je as one' of the most liberal and desirable measures ever passed at Ottawa. In the case of the Queeu v Hilton, Mr. Justice Rose, Friday last, gave judgment quashing a conviction for selling liopor to an Indian, upon the ground that the convicting , magistrates had no jurisdiction on accouut of their having an interest jn the matter before them. One of the magistrates was the -father-in- law of the complainant, and the other had business relations with, the complainant. And ,we notice., that Mr. Dickinson, of -Meyer and ; Dickinson objected to Mr. McKay | J. P. sitting in ^’charge for viola-t-. j ing the Scott Act in *’vase.which I cauie up in W’nghawi. McKay acted all the same. The csae was dismissed. Had ’the defendant been found guilty the conviction would, have been quashed,, if Mr. Justice Rose’s law is-good. Wehavecontend ed that should a Stipendiary Magis­ trate be appointed for this county,he ought to be one who Las taken .no active part for or against the Scott Act. Mr. Beattie of Seaforth would be an exceptionally objection-- able person for the position, • as we understand that he is a very bigoted Scott Act partisan.

An ex liquor dealer with known anti Scott Act principles would be no more undesirable a selection. Both extremes should be avoided And though w.e have no" particular admiration for Mr. Mayor Forrester of Clinton in the way of politics, he being a dyed in the-wool Reformer, we do admire the judicial cast of his character, his integrity as a magistrate, his acumen in sifting difficult, eases, and his unimp&ssioueu conduct on the bench, and claim that these are traits which should constitute him a proper person to act as Stipendiary Magistrate in Huron, shoqld such an incubtis be forced upon the county. The • centrality of Clinton,his home,should be a strong point in his favor.

It migh t be added that Riel told Father And­ ree that he ought to have got thirty- fivethousand dollars in 1870 and only got four thousand. THE REBELLION WENT ON. Father Andre, of the Roman . Catholic Mission at Prince Albert, was interviewed by a correspondent, and said Riel visited! him to secure his aid,r8ftymg whatever was obtain­ ed by tlie half-breeds, either By cons­ titutional means or force of arms, the 'church should have its share, and not on jy--on er tenth but one seventh. Father Andre, declined to. give his aid^and Riel declared he would tri-, umph jn spite of the, Churchy and ■ trample the priests under his feet..

From Manitoba. „„ The.foliowing letter is from Jok Young, now living in Manitoba, son of Mr. Henry Young, town:—r Souris, May 24, 85 Wo are living on the farm Bince the 24tlj of April and we all like it very much. We had a very fine spring. Seeding commenced hero about the first of Ai>ril. I harrowed some of my lamlin March. I have 820 acres of crop—290 of wheat and balance oats.and barley, all looking splendid. If it turns out well I should have 9 or 10 thousand bushels of grain, which would not bo bad for my first attempt ate farming, but it is nothing to farm here. If farmers in Ontario only know whati this country is like they would not stayjong there. I have 040 acres in one square block ,and I. could sow wheat on 688 acres in good time. I have 160 acres 2 miles from where I live, I got this 'for timber and pas­ ture. I. have plenty of wood for my own use on it aiid good hay land and pasture. 1 think John and George alfi jLery lQLflislL~t<L®HSL thoir tinlo trying to farm in Ontario, they could have four tunes, as much land and farm it far easier here; but I suppose the roports of tho rebellion would scaro any person from moving from Ontario just now. I suppose you are watching the papers to hear of us all being murdered by the Indians and broods. From reports through the 'Ont. papers I think they are worse scared there than wo aro hero ; lor my part I have not felt tho least un­ easy as yet, although some of the set­ tlers are a little nervous.. I tell them to keep’ their shirts oil, that the Gov. . ernment took tho bull by tiie horns in good time and we need fear jio danger” unless they let go their hold. I heed nob give you any account of the .en- gagementsjis you get them in the dail-' ies as soon as we do, but I notice that many of the reports are greatly exag­ erated in some of tho paporS, so you' can make up your mind that though •things are bad enough they are not'aS; bad .as some' reports, Will is out- West but I don't think ho will have to go. to tho front now. • • They-are aU to be Pitied,« Ed'lor Nmos-Record. 1 ' '• “Oh {.’Ku nio tears for others woos, And patience for iny own." - . .

It is hoped the entertainmentwill be woll patronized, as the band is not at all sparing in .giving our citizens free open aiy concerts. . * The greatest novelty and also dis­ grace the past week has been that of a boy apparently four or five years old smoking a pipe around the square.

For some years he had been afflicted with cancer on the lip, and it grad­ ually spread to the throat and was, we believe, the cause of fiis death., We tender our sympathy to his surviving relatives. He was witbip a few month's of 60 years of age. ,Z :--------.........................-............j .
