The Age 9rHienibtig -VetilIetL 1n -our first artiele in relation to the Do- jnrnion CempanYt` we bad, occasion • to refer toit as a good illuitration of the posi- tion -we then took that the present,is .essen- tially an Age of Ruinbug. The' subsequent career of that company 1a3naoretlaijustified the truth of that illustration, andqurnishes most 'conclusive proof that the "fools are not all dead ;" and that as we then said all the light and knowledge of the present day does not proeure an immunity from swindling operations to. preventthe repetition of success- ful frauds. 'Th that article we told our readers the his- tory of the "Grand Trunk Telegraph. Com- pany," and stated that Mr. Snow,---" the original Josiah,"—who made fie much money Out Of the unfortunate operatiene was at -the sabottom of the "Deeninioe` enterprise. Now this was a, most important 'disclosure, for it gave the key not to what we sxpected . -Would follow, and. what * reality is now:oc- curing, We inferred that as Snow had made a large amotint of money out of the previous' scheme, he would endeavor to do so out of the Dominion Company. We now need Itenly refer to the facts before the public, to Show that that inference was correct. GIs to the period of our articles; notwithstand- ing that the p:ublic had _been very generanY solicited to subscribe tb the stock, no expla- nations had been given as to all the most hn- portant points in the whole scheme. lst. , Who was at the bottom of the entesprise ? 2nd. Who controled the stock? 3rd. Who Was the Contractor? And 4th. How much per mile was he to get for building the line? The first two points we brought out • by. our - reference to the public documents in Ottawa, in which Was shewn that Josiah L. Snow and his son) W. D. Snow -had endeavored to get a chasten the apklicetion for which had been witnessed by Seela Reeve: failing in that, the names of Seela Reeve and his son,-, with Martin- Ryan, were substituted • and were successful ; further, that Seela Reeve a relative of the Snow's and an applicant for pankruPtcy in the United States, controlled and Professed to own Over 490;000 out of the 50Q, 000 of the . stock. These two- points were ireportant, and we 'revive them only that, amid the garbage which the Dominion people throw about -theta, they may not. be - lost sight of. It is true that this stock own- ed and controled by Seela Reeve, has subee- quently been transferred in trust to two most respectable directors for a the 'benefit. of all who choose to buy and pay for it; and we take credit for having aceom- plished that much. The third end fourth points were not so easily got at ; it was only by the mast constant questioning, and cross examining we got the facts out. • lst, That Mr: Setla Reeve was actually the con-. tractor; that this man Who was witness to the original applicanion for the Dominion Charter, to which the'Snows 'unsuccessfuly sought to control the stock ; the relative of the Snowt, witheut a (loiter in the world •that was his own this man, aboat whose antecedents in the 'United States- not one of the directors knew a 'single fact, that this parte', who had chartered the company, and up to the tinte of our exposure actually con- troled the stoak ;that this man was the con.- . tractor • for -Mete 'construotion of the line. Did ever anyone see so bold an imitation of the Grand TPeunk Telegraph swindle, in, which our friend Snow played all the paying parts in that remarkable comedy: At once , promoter, charterer, controller of the stock,- - and in the end contractor' Is it any wond- en the public should start back affrighted at the narrow escape they had run; that the press; 'from one end ofthe country to the other, „ condemned the scheme; that direc- tors left the board in disgust, asserting their belief that the enterprise was unworthy of public Confidence, ancl that the operations of • th,e company, were for some months suspend- ed.' • But further developments were in store for us. Findinteeit impossible now to float the scheme without -affording the desired -infor- • mation, the directors from time to time, pro- • mised an explaaation which is. at length af- forded. .13iit frcen one extreme they ruth to another. Hitherto they would tell us noth- . ing ; now they tell tho much. Amid a large amount of ehaff we get this one kernel of fact, namely, that Mr. Reeve is to build the line for $230 per mile' We are not very familiar with the details a telegrapheconstniction, nor do we suppose many of our readere are, but we told them longago that $100 to $125 was a very fair price; and, .as the subject has- been a good. deal discussed. of late in the Western papers, we. give the following extract from the Lon- don. Prototype, by which it will be seen we were.not-fer from the truth es-- .• "In order more fally to bring the matter clearer to all, we give the cast, permile, of. constractlng a telegraph line of two wires, - an estimate.

"Inuit has been.ileade mileage one, and untry where ,poles • cheaply obteined and easily put up. • But it would puzzle a Philadelphia lawyer to understand for What other, reason this circuit has been made." We are -aware that some most respectable men are still connected with the Dominion scheme, that their names, unsler ordinary circumstances, would be sufficient to give weight and respectability to any work. We have all along saidthatthere was room for an- other telegraph company, a,nd that • one properly constituted and properly conducted would be a public boon ; indeed, we that even went so 'far as to. say after our ex- posures, if the existing directors would only rid themselves of Mr. Reeve, the Dominion Line might yet be successful. But we are now satisfied there is no hope for it. • Mr, Reeve has too large a stake ; his chances for making -a bigthing are too good, should the line go en, and'a,ccordingly he clings to it with a tenacity not to be readily shaken. Respectable as the directors may be ; good as the chances are for a well conducted ,op position -line, the recent developments, as to the price paid per mile for construction, will go to confirm the sospicions with which we first started to invdstigate the claims of the company to public ?onfidence, and we deem it our duty to reiterate', • with even greater emphasis than eve, the caution we before gave, that the whole thing had better be avoided • It stands only in the way of legi- timate enterprise, and. promises only to fast- en longer upon us. the grasp of the present • monopoly. The sooner it is pushed aside the bettet • - By tbe way before closing we will just ask a onestion which possibly may get an ans- . , wen now that the directors are in an ans- wering mood. It is true that a member of their board, Mr. McGivern, hardware mer- chant, of Hamilton, is the contractor who is to furnish the wire to Mr, Reeve ? Of course it is all right if it is so. We are sure Mr. McGivern cen furnish the -wire as well and as cheaply as anybody else ; only if it is the fact it will probably explain the -very. great interest -this gentleman takes in the enterprise. .- • • The remaining question we have to ask is in relation to the following paragraph taken from the manifesto of the directors. "Three-fifths of the first deposit was pay- able to canvassers, and the remaining two- fifths have been quite insufficient to main- tain' the office expenses, and thp cost of printing and advertising, so that it may be said, that Reeve has borne unaided the whole barden of the work as far as it has gone to say nothing of the materials on hand for its further prosecution—strong evidence in the opinion of your directors of his ability to fulfill his engagements." This means that nearly 100 miles of line, from Buffalo to Toronto, has been .built by i elr. Reeye, which at a rate of $250 per mile, implies an expenditure of $25,000. ; Now it s a matter of curiosity where this. money` came from. • It is well ascertained that Mt Reeve himself could not lia,ve furnished it ; certainly his statement in the Bankruptcy Court in New Yorx does not admit of such a supposition. In that statement which was fyled February 27th, 1868, and a copy 'of which the directors ought to haye,Mr. Reeve swears that his lia,bilitios are $30,000 to $.15,0e0, and. his assets $3,000 to $4,000, and they of doubtful character. It will be thus seen that instead. of having $25,000 when he he came to Canada • with which to build telegraph lines, he Was actually worth that amount less than nothing. Who then ad- vanced the money referred to in the above paragraph? His creditors wouldhardly do so; •the banks who knew Mr. . Reete would certainly, not do so• ; the banks • who do • nob • kno w • him could not be tempted to advance such a loan. What other outside party could be induced to make an advance of such a large sum, in -the face of so much risk, in view of the with- drawal of public confidence, and the grave suspicions thatsurrouncled the whole matter. Is.itall probable that anyone who was not deeply interested in the project should make so large an investment. Inasmuch I+ the • directors say they didnot, and inasmuch as we seelilr. Reeve .could not, is not the sur- • mise likely to be correct, that Mr. Josiah T. Snow or his son Mr. W. D. Snow, are ' the parties who have advanced. the amount? We know from the records at Ottawa, that these gentlemen were at the bottem of the enterprise, at its inception : sought to con- trol its stock, and were at the outset deeply intetested in its success. They are both heafily interested in connecting opposition lines in the -United States, now building, have plenty of money, and as Mr. Reeve is a relative of theirs, and it in need of money, is it not most natural that they should .come to his rescue, ancl help him forward with the project which they had so much at ,heart. Well, if it is so, (and we think our readers will admit the surmise is not far from the truth) we• will close with this suggestion, that as this money was originally made out ,ef the people of Cana,d.a by the Grand 'Trunk Telegraph swindle:the people of Canada had better permit the Messrs. Snow to enjoy the benefit of this last investment, 'and refrain from relieving them, their agent Itlret Reeve, or his board of directors of any of their stock. --Trade Review.

His Rent. Wit is sometimes worth money, but it is quite essential to have' a good na- tured cnstomer to deal with.. When Allan Ramsay,• a well known, Scotch poet, began life he was so poor that he could not pay his first year's rent. After it became due he met his land- lord and explained to him stances and expressed his diAtress at his &dine to meet his obligations. The jolly landlord was kind to him, and said as be was a lad of some ganius he would give him a chance to cancel tin debt without paying him a shilling. "If," said the Creditor, "you'll give me rhyme answering four 'questions in as many minutes, yosi the rent al- together. Allan said he would try. The questions were :-----"What does God love 7" "What does the levil love 7" "What does the world love 7" • "What do I love 7" Ramsay wrote.: "God leves man when he refrains from sin ; The devil loves man when he persists there The world loves man when riches on him flow; • And you'd love me could I pay you,what I "The rent is paid, said the farmer, giving his ingenious tenant a hearty slap on the shoulder. • A. newspaper published in the regions of Lake Menaphremagog and Winne- penesauk.ee, says, that "the fish in Lake Holleyhunkemlink, Me., are said to be superior to those of either L 4ke.
