Nsottor.ra, Teacher, THAT DISMISSAL, To tine Jdttor of 'Mrs Poor: Duan Bta.—Laeb week's Pon oontaine a oommanioation over the oignatnre of F, 8. Soots in reference to that diemieeal which ie oanepi000ae for three things :-- Tory abuse and apparent hatred ; praise of F. S. Scott ; and signs of displeasure for being turned out of offios. First he had a whack at some of the local Tories and eventually brought in the whole Rid ing which gives your oorrespondent and others a right to make a few statements in reply. I have nothing personally to say against Mr, Scott for I found him a gentleman pinna I first made his ao• quoinbanae bat it is hie eayinge in Tun Popo that we have to deal with. Re is apparently annoyed at some writer in The Herald who has not given hie name. There has bean oonaiderable of that kind of work done, for I am reminded of two letters which came out in Tun PosT just before tbe lust election, without any name but signed "Liberal" and filled with horrible dirty stuff against the Oon• Oervativea, I will . nob say thole Mr. Soott was the writer of them bat this I do say that the style of writing and Tory abase is jean about the same but the former on a larger Beale, They did not have the desired effoot, they did not pan out according to expeotation, rather the reverse for the more that was written the more the big majority Dame down. Just like on the eve of the D..minioe Election the ocunty wae flooded with what appear- ed to me to be immoral literatnie and the more they unloaded it on the three Hurons the more Hurons they lost. We have heard from time to time ooneider- able about Mr. Scott's great and ineee- sant work for hip party, of which he ap. pears to boast in hie letter. I ask what great things has he done ? Hae be been working for the uplifting of bnmenity ? Has he been doing all for the upbnilding of Bruesele, hie native town, in building faotoriee and other plaoae of industry to give employment to meohauios and laborers and to help the public in general ? The answer ie No I Wheo we Dome down to the fine thing we find that he was working merely to keep hie polftioal party in power ; to keep in power a tot- tering Government against the will of the people ; that be was working to keep in office a Government which had resorted to tricks and eobemes to prolong its existence. In regard to the ealary for being Bailiff, we know tbat for many years atter Mr. Soobt got the °Moe the pay was mach better than of late for be has informed us that during the last five years it has got down to the low average of 363 00 per year. We find that Mr. Soots had the office for 27 years and if we multiply that low average of $6800 per year by the 27 years we will have a net prodaot of 91,700, Why, man alive! he ie $1,700 ahead 0f any conservative in Brunets beeidee interest and oompoand lntere0t, ;Under these :otroametancee I can't see where any squealing ought to name in, If we atop and do o little think• ing we must eertainly come to the oon. elusion that the Reform party ought to be an extra rich class of people for they have had the Government patronage for 32 years and during that time no Oon• eervative need apply. Onoee were creat- ed right and left until the offioe.holdere be - mine a little army, each one drawing a salary and giving his support and in• fluence in favor of the Government, Like the Jews of old, who claimed to be the oh en rape sae oreo le and all the rest p p were Gentflee, just so with the Reform party. They apparently thought and acted ae if they should have all the ofli- oea and all the good things for like the Jews of old they claimed to be the people and all the reel were Tories, Then the poor Tories had to stay outside and get along es beet they ouald for 82 long, long years. Yee 1 Mr. Boort, kindly oondee• oende to gall the great.Liberal Oonserva• tivo party Tories, whiob is now composed of both Retotmere and Conservatives and long may they live to keep down all kinds of wrong doing and corrupt ante.
