THE "SUBSIDISED ORGANS." There are some people who; when they espouse a weak cause and get beaten in argument, resort to the shallow subterfuge - of calling their opponents misty names, in order to cover up and hide fiem public gaze their humiliating defeat. We regret much that we are forced to the beliefthat our -esteemed contemporary, the_Toronto Globe, has fallen into this discreditable habit. We, in common with many other journalists, - last week, took the Globe to taskfor its virulent and uncalled for attack • upon the. Grand. Trunk and its , Manager. Instead of conclusively proving its assertions,— will& it should have been prepared to do before it made thens,—and endeavouring to convince those who deemed it their duty to differ froM it, of their error, the Globe, very foolishly, and -very dishonestly, strikes off into a variety of side -issues, and abuses its opponents by calling vulgar names, and im- puting to them corrupt motives in opposing its pretended views. Now, this is not only mean, and unbecoming the' dignity of a journal of the Globe's pretensions, but ex- ceedingly cowardly. The Great Western and Grand Trunk May be correctly termed - opposing lines. The Globe has ever been most friendly to the former enterprise,— even -when Mr. Budges had the control of it,—and the late Manager of the Great Western has always been a strong political supporter of Mr. George Brown. This being the. case, might not thosewlio defend the Grand Trunk from the Globe's vidous and groundless attacks, with equal justice'retort upen it by dubbing it the "Subsidised. Organ" of the Great Western, and "hired" by the Manager of that road to abuse th Grand Trunk. There is no denying the fact that the Globe has done good service to the people of this country in exposing the intrigues and devices of corrupt politicians, ,and in most cases we can heartily concur with the sentiments which it utters. But, 'notwith- standing this, we feel bound to say; that the sooner it abandons the abominably domi- neering course it has adopted of black -- mailing, and denouncing as "subsidised," corrupt," and bought," every public jour- nalist who will not say as it says, and who - refuses to follow it through, thick and thin, be its course right or wrong, the longer will it be able to retain the high standing which it has attained. It is a base slander upon the people of this country, to say that the majority of their journals are ‘ subsidised," and earlobe bought" to uphold and defend any corrupt or mismanaged institution or. enterprise. . • _ We feel confident that there are but few sensible and thoughtful people'who -Will not agree with us in saying, that the su- perior talent and ability displayed in the • editorial columns of the Globe, might Ise put to a far better use than abusing, and en- deavouring to injuie and throw obstacles in the way of the prop-rese of this great national - work, whieh has 'dene so much for this: country. Were the statements of the Wobe, with regard to the is:us-management of the road, true, we would not have so much fault to findwithit; but every pereen who has, within the past two r years, travelled over it, or had any business connectionewhatever, with it, must know that they are absolutely false and groundless. On this point we speak from personal knowledge and obser- vation. One of the s;de-issues raised by the Globe is, that the Grand Trunk 0ompany is pay- ing interest on its first preference bonds only." This ratty oi may'not be the case. It is enth-ely a matter between the propri- etors and mabager of the road, and one with which the genet:al public, or the Globe, have nothing to do. if the road does not pay as large dividends as it should, that is the con- cern of the koprietors, and it is their dutv to bring their manager to task, and not the duty of the Globe or any outsider. Another grievance of the Globe is, "that Mr. Brydges leaves the work for which he •is paid and AFFAIRS IN MANITOBAH. Judging from recent reports received from thiseProYince, the people dre not tet enjoy- ing that peace and quiet whieh it was anti- cipated they 'would, as soon as the "red coats" set foot upon that far off soil. Al-.-• though Reil has taken his depatture, and gone to the land of freedom across the lines; and his Lieutenant, Lepine, has fallen a prey to his evil passions, there are still left in the territory discontented spirits, who may, ere long, cause tiouble. Bishop Tache and his minions have only yet been. half satisfied. TImy succeeded so admirably with the first part of their programme' ,-that they feel it hard to be disappointed in being able to carry out the whole code. These parties are now clamouring loudly tor the promised amnesty to all offenders. By whom , this promise wee made, we know not, but it now seems pretty evident that a generkil amnesty to' all offenders, whether of high or low de- gree, has been promised by some person high in authority; and that promise is like- ly to be broken. . We are much mistaken if the trouble at Red River is yet civer. Bishop Tache be- longs to a class. of whom it may truly be said; "the more they get, the more they want." His demands have not yet been wholly satisfied, and he is not a man who can be easily put off. By the rniserable, crinng course whieli the Ottawa govern- ment have pursued in the matter so far, they have shown_him that they fear him. They have made -to him concessiors which they should never have made, and now, should they refuse to grant to him all his demands, he will undoubtedly make an at -- tempt to secure them, even at the cost cf another rebellion. So soon as corn m twice - tion is out off between that country and this, by winter, it needs not surprise any one, if an attempt be made, to re-enact the scenes of last winter. The volunteers are there to preserve order, it is true; but what can such a handful of men accomplish in oppo- sition -to the myriods 'which Bishop Tache could at a few days notice enlist against them. Had our government stamped out the late rebellion with a" firm hand, and promptly punished the leaders of the move- ment, instead of subduing it by granting all that was then demanded, and allowing the guiltyleaders to escape unharmed and tinpu- nishecl,we.would now be able to setain quiet and peaceable possession. By pursuing the former course, they would have proven to the offenders that they were able and willing to &maintain their dignity, and enforce their wishes. By pursuing the course which they have, they have demonstrated to these laW- less and unscrupulous demi-savages that, in order to carry their ends in future, they have only to play the same 'roll. Under the leadership and direction- of such as Bishop Tache and Father Richt, they will not be slow to take edvantage of their po- sition. The end is not yet. • No. 1 homemade kip boots for $4 : cow hide do, $3.50, at Coventry's. HURON AT THE PROVINCIAL FAIR. It nadet he a matter of gratification to every well-wisher of the County of Huron, EUROPEAN WAR SUMMARY, Below will be found a daily 'digest of the telegraphic news, anent the Franco-Prussian War. THURSDAY. In an engagement near Epernou, the artillery of the Prussians was brought into play with considerable effect, and theFrench retreated. It is expressly denied that any rioting has. taken place in Paris, and drill- ing is said to be going on incessantly. A' Berlin despatch announces that preparations for the bombardment of Paris are now com- pleted. and that a regular attack Will .tie conunenoed imMediately. FRIDAY. The necessary arrangements to shell and' attack Paris are said to have been completed, though the Parisians confidently anticipate a few days respite before the cornmeacens4it of the dreadful ordeal. The ganison are represented to be in the best of spirits, and ardently desire to sally out upon the be- seigers, while the forces neon the provinces attack them simultaneously in the rear. -- During the siege and bombardment of Stras- bourg five hundred houses were destroyed, and ten thousand people rendered homeless. hATURDAY. The Socialists iu Pang are said to be giving some trouble and to be increasingly •'urgent in their demands for the confiscation of the property of absentees and the destruc- • tion of all tokens of Bonapartist -rule, in- cluding the Column Vendome. MONDAY. The. formal summons for the surrender of Paris, recently made by the Prussians hav- ing Met with a refusal, has been promptly followed by the opening of the bombard- ment.; bet it would seem that only a few shells have, as yet been sent into the fated city. The French are receivingrat;d from strange allies, a body of Papal Zouaves having tendered their services. A number of Garibaldian volunteers have oddly enough presented themselves at the same moment. A. telegiam in fact states that -Garibaldi himself has arrived at Tours, where he saw the members of the Government there.— Marshal Base/Me is said to have attempted to negotiate the surretider of his arnay with all honour, on condition that he might be permitsed to assist in..restoring Napoieon to his throne ; but Count Biemark declined to entertain the proposal. • . TUESDAY. • The Parisians, according to M. Gambetta, are patiently drilling, and await. in calm determination to give the most obstinate resistance, having strong faith in., the 'im- pregnability of their city. Not only will they light on the walls and at the cannons, but behind the famous barricades, if neces- sary. The fighting at Metz en the 7th inst., appear to have been of. a very serious char - atter; it might even be spoken of as a great battle, did it not come after Seclan and Gravellette. Marshal Bazaine ma.de a de- termined effort to break through the Prus- sian lines. He encountered a tremendous fire of artillery, but for some time resolutely advanced until he found his way barred by two brigades of the Tenth Army La.ndwehr Corps. He was then compelled to reneat, and was with great loss driven once more within hie entrenchments. Prince Frederie.k Charles is said to be ill with typhus' fever, at Ferriere's, a few miles east of Paris. to observe how well it was represented at wEDNESDAY. There are no military movements o the iate Provincial Exhibitioe. A very great importance to notice.
