FRIDAY, NOVEMBER '14i1870.' .
To vote "yea "' on the County By-law is to
incur an actuat taxation of less :than $3,000 an-
nually for twenty years, and in the end own a
property worthat our own valuation $43,000;
d to vote " nay" is to perpetuate the present
sy teen of maintaining nineteen _toll -keepers and
their families at a cost of $5,000 annually... .Then
vote " yea " on the °Quay By-law.
NOT RIGHT.
,WE are. not unfrequently surprised and
gAeved when we notize the language in-
dulged in by many of the most resppctable
journals of this Province, whilst .sPeaking
of their poli';.ical ,opponents. It is peifectly
. right and proper for every man, as well as
every public journalist, to uphold, Isvith his
utmost ability, the political principles which
he raay consider to be right and most sound,
and to use every legitimate means to retard
the propagation and progress of those views,
the "carrying out of which, he may consider
will hinder the progress and prosperity of
his country. In. the same -way, we consid-
er it the bOunden duty of all journalists to
use every legitimate argument, which they
- can command, in accler to 'educate the pub-
lic mind to see the necessity,of placing in
high and responsible positions iti_tthe Gov-
ernment of the country, such pRblic men
asthey may _deem most competent to hon-
estly and faithfully fill those positions. But
the mode of argument, --or rather abuse, --
indulged in by a few our contemporaries,
ia anything but creditable to themselves,.
and will be most certain to have an injuri-
oils effect upon the cause which they so
Warmly espouse, If -a public man does
that which is wrong, let his misdeeds be
laid bare to public view in all their defor-
mity, but let it be done in a fair and gen-
tlemanlyj manner, and , not in language
which would almost disgrace a Billingsgate
fiqh-wife.
The manner inwhich many of our con-
temporaries habitually speak of the mem-
bers of the Ontario Government, and more
especially the Premier, is simply disgusting.
We have no desire that it should be con-
sidered for one moment, that we.are amongst
those whoare prepared to defend the ac-
fions of that gentleman or his colleagues.
We do think. however, that we could as
fairly, and with equally as good effect, criti-
cise his actions and show forth -his inca-
pacity for the position he occupies in° suit-
able language, as if NVe were to resort to the
disreputab• le ptactice of heaping upon him
disrespediful and ill -sounding names, Bitch
M those used by journalists from whom we
should expect 1;etter. What matters,it to
the public whether Mr. Sandfreld Maaton-
ald av-exts large shirt -collars and old clothes,
or whether he attires himself in the highest
city fashion? Orwhat is to be gained in a
political point of view, by continually pa-
rading his personal peculiaritiesbefore the
public -as is the habit of some of those who
oppose him? Or, will it add to his unpopu-
larity in Ontario, or Convince the public
that his Political principles are not sound,
or this public character unchaste, to be con
tiittally bestowing upon him the exeeed-
,
Mly undi0
aanified titles of ‘.‘ Axe -Grinder?
0
"Shit Collars," "Cornwall Saint,' and
a variety of other cognomens equally is
unseemly? We fancy that ' it will not.
Such language may genie tq create merri-
ment for light minded and thoughtless peo-
ple, hut those whose opinions and influ-
ence are worthy of respect, will merely
treat it with contempt. -Thus, instead of
having the intended effect .4f injuring the
party against whom it 18 used, it will cre-
ate for him in the public mind a feeling of
compassion, Which will ultitnitely grow in-
to iespect
We .bay, then,. by all :means, let our
friends work eareestly and unceasingly, to
endeavor to unseat the present rulers of
Ontario, and to place superior men in their
positions. The work is a good andlaud-
able one, but let it be done in a proper and
dignified mariner. Such a course' will be
far men.e likely to ensure success than the
one which is now being pursued by too
many.

PEAR WAR SUMMARY,
Below will be found a daily digest of the
telei„Ttaphic news, anent the Franco-Prussian
Way.
THURSDAY.
Energetic operations will shortly be corn-
me,nced befo •e the walls of Paris. Hitherto
the Prussia s have been quietly preparing
but the bombardment will not begin in real
earnest. Ti e French have not so far suc-
ceeded in making any effectual opposition
in the Prov'nces to the advance of the Prus-
sians, thoug a, if there is any truth at all in
the feports from Tours, there ought to be
formidable lathes in the North and South;
The Parisia la are said to be determined to
fight to the ast extremity, and they are re-
ported to ha -e a supply of food that will
last to the e d of January. One thausand
cannon hay been purchased by subscription
for the defe ce of the city, -and new forts
have beea c nstructed. Deputations from
all parts of ranee waited the other day on
e
Gambetta t urge him to order a levy en
917,0.4986 for th defence of. the country. To
this Gambet a replied that -.they must not
expect the overnment to overcome obsta-
cles which t ley themselves might remove.
He called u on them auto unite in saving
the nation.
FRIDAY.
An armis ic for`twenty-five days has been
arranged, in order that a general election
for the Cons ituent Assembly May be held.,
The Yerious rmies and military operations
are to remai, in the condition they occupied
at the time of signing the armistic. • There
is a report o rioting in Paris incited -by
Flourens, b t which was suppressed, as on
two previon occasions, by the people, who
appear to ha e a general desire to support
the Govern' ent. The fallen Emperor has
published a arnphlet on the warlike opera-

then have r treated en Chalons, but the

MONDAY.
• A despatc -1. from Versailles, via London;
announcing that' the French Government
has broken off negotiations for an arreistice
and ordered M. niers to ieturn to Paris'
has been i peived. Count Bisn3ark's ins
siStence on a cession. of territory, in the
event of the war continuing is said to have
caused this regrettable result. From . the
general teno • of the news, it would appeet
as though th popular feeling had corlitrair/
ed the Adm.nistration to a course •contrary
to their own wishes or judgment. Henry.
' Rocheford is said to have resigned his con-
nectien, with the Committee of Defence, and
Garibaldi, it is confidently reported, is a
prisoner in tie hands of the Pruseians. Se
far as the citiy of Paris may be Said to re-,
present the 'renal nation, it must be as:1

rnorei•metable front the fact that the Gener-
al's proclivitie.s have hitherto been account-
ed :decidedly °demist. The Empress staid
but one daywithher husband at Wilhelrns-;
holm. The Visit was .doubtless one of busi-
necs- rather than affection, and it is more
than likely a, short intetwiew was preferred
by both. The Only fighting tor sonae days
past has been of an irtiegular and desultory
characteets and wholly without influence on
the military position of either of the bellie
aerents.
I,
TUESDAY.
The rupture of the armistioe negotiations
is now .said to have tesultecl, not only from
Bismarck's reservation with respect to AL-
sace and Lorraine, but from his refusal to
allow free ogresand ingress to the Prus-
siane during the suspension of hostilities.
It is quite true that a daily supply of pro-
visions equal to the consumption would not
have added to the stock on hand, 1)tit
would, if negptiations ultim a telly failed, have
occasioned just so much delay in the final
capitulation -supposing Paris. to be starved
out -as would be represented by the period
during which fighting was discontinued.
Both parties are, perhaesaup to this time
over -confident, and it would seem as,thougli -
only further experience or suffering, on one
side or the other, would 'bring chances of
peace. This at any rate holds true of a con-
sideiable portion of the population of Paris,
although the leaders,C..probably, recognize
more clearly the -difficultiesand dangers of
the situation. Around Paris, fighting ---ex-
cept in so far as the fireetof the French forts
represents active hostilities -has been sus -

pendia for se mat days past. At New
Briesach Fort Monier has surrendered, a
fire having broken out which . rendered it
untenable. T ie new French loan has been
officially recog 1 ized• by the London Stoek
Exchange,•an is quoted at lii- to 2i. pre-
mium. Tbe p ecise result of the voting in
Paris was, ye 557,996 to nays 62,638, the
latter thus stacding in relation to the for-
mer as Just on in nine. The election of
Mayors has alas resulted favotn•ably to the
Republicans iti nearly all the arrondise-
ments. . Although not indisposed to deal:
gently- with th4 late rioters, in the interest
of public safet tile Government have order-
ed persotrs implicated in the disturbances to
be prosecuted in the courts. The statement
that General Gribaidi waa captured has not
been confirrne4 by later 'despatches,. which
represent hitu till carrying on the war in
the eastern paijt of France, eomewhat trou-
bled by the jearlousy of the French officers,
who look upon him -as an intruder. Gen..
Changarnier has, it is reported, spoken in,
defence of Baz. ine's conduct in. the surrend-
er of Metz Je _regards Bazaine as inno-
cent of treache:y, but rather as a selfish
man incapable of handling large bodies of
troops.
WEDNESDAY. . . 1
King William is reported to entettain a

Raising their Bridges.

Ever sinee the advent of railways inthis
country the publiehaye been at interv.als
sheOced by accidents, invariably fatal, that
have arisen from the lowness of overhead
bridges Brakesmen on freight trains were
usually the sufferers. A very trifling ex-
pense in the first instance' would have rais-
ed those bridges a foot higher, and saved
much misery and imany lives. The Great
Western. Railway Company -were recently
• declared by a coroner's jury empannelled to
view the body of a brakesman on that line -
by coming in contact with a bridge,.
guilty of culpable rfegligebee' in not hav-
ing their bridges at -a s.,4fer height. The re-
sult of their verdict is no doubt found -in
the following paragraph fkam the Hamilton
Spectator : ---
" The bridges across the track of the
-
Great Western Railway are to be raised so•
that the brakesmen can stand an the top of
the cars while passing undeeneath, -without
fear of coming in contact with the struc-
tures. A number of the bridges west of
Hamilton have already been raised, and,
we underetand that all the other bridges on.
the road will also be raised forthi,eith."
We trust all our railway companies will
follow; the example thus properly set. -

the people of these counties do ours? Where
then is the man that will not reciprocate,. but
talk of foreign travel? Then vote " yea on the.
