• New Electoral Divisio s.
We believe it to be a fac i that •
during* the recent visit of Sir John'
A. Macdonald to Toronto, the Elec-
toral Divisions, wider the ne cen-
sus, were decided -upon,—the divi;
sions- for, Huron, of course, being
among the number. . It is no vet
- definitely knownt however; What
thcse Division t are to be. We have
heard, and upon pretty. goo az-.
I
thority, that; so far .as this C unty
is concerned, the division de ided
upon- at a recentimeeting of C 6er-
vativei held at Clinton, and • hick
we gave at the time, is the one bleb •
- is -to be made. --._We trust that oar
•
tiformation on this point may rove
incorrect, as such a division s ould
be alikerdisgraceful to those Ma ing
it and to those who reconamende
as well as an inconvenience an an
imposiiion upon the electors o the
County. In order to show the ut-
ter absurdity of such a division we
reproduce it below :

ty of Hurou, for instance, it impos-
ed adclitiorial burdens and incon-
venience upon the: people. •
In ordel- to remedy, in some
measure, thlis difficulty, the present
aovernmen have framed and carri-
act through the Legislature a Bill
-which, it s.enas to us, will prove
more b-enefi .ial and just than an3
which has y t been brought forward.
This Bill proposes to leave untouch-
ed the,recei ts of any Registrar up
to the suin of two thousand five
hundred dollars. Of the fees re-
ceived in xcess ef two thousand
fi-ve hundre ur.) td- three thousand
dollars, the egistrar is to be allow-
- ea to retain ninety per cent:; from
Three thousilnd to three thousand
• five hundred he is to keep eighty
.per cent.; friora three thousand five
huncIrTd up to four thousand he is
to enfote seventy per cent. ; from
four tbousan'el to four thousand five
hundred be will be entitled to sixtv
per cent. ; and of all in excess of
four thousand five hundred he will
have the benefit of fifty per cent.
Although this will not effect the in-
comes of those who are now insuffici-
ently. paid, it will materially reduce
that of those who receive an exor-
• bitant sum. As the fees for regis-
trations, are -Collected from the re-
aidents of the County in which -the
office is located, it is therefore but
just that the County should have
the benefiteof the precentage which,
under the Act, is payable by the
.Registrar. ToThieet this, the Bill
in question prbvides that: •
"On the fifteenth day of January in
• each year each Regietrar shall transmit,
to the treasurer or Chamberlain of the
county or city for which or for a riding
of which he is Registrar, a duplicate of
the return required by the Registration
of Titles (Ontario). Act; and shall alpo.
pay to such treasurer or chamberlain for
the uses of the municipality auch pro-
portion of the fees and emoluments, re-
Col- ceived by him during the preceding year
ea- as under. this Act he is not entitled to re-
tain to his own nse."
Thus, in cases ivirhere tlie incomes
of Registrars are It, ao , large, they are
not only reduned,1 but the public re-
ceives the benefit of the reduction.
This Bill is a.step in the right di-
rection, and will, be received with
pleasure 'and eatiskaction by a large
majority ofthe people of this Pro-
vince. But, we believe that a great-
er rednction might even ye•:, be
made, and. still 10ave the income
derived from thes offices sufficient-.
ly-renurnerative;t the incumbent.
A clear income of from two to 'four
ousand dollairs. , is certainly too
much for any responsibility attach-
ing to the office, or work required
to be perfortneltby the official. •-

Registrars'
The question of Registrarg' Fee
ig one which has. been frequent]
considered by our Legislators, wit
a view to devising,. some mean
whereby the incothes of theincur's-
bents cf the various Registry office.
in the Province might be placed on
an even basisThe difficulty here-
•
tofore has been, that in some Coun-
ties the remunerkition eeceiyed ;ley
• the Registrar has been inadequate
for the resoonsible.doties he was re-
quired to perform, owing to • the
• arnall amount'of work done in Jiis
office e whilst in others the amount
realized- from the fees. cf the office
• was enotanously large; and moue
than just remuneration for the labor
performed. • To devise a scheme
• -which would decrease the emolu-
ment e of the official who was over
paid, without encroaching upon the
pittance of the one wile was under-
paid wes so m e tb in!). which see in ed a
didicult matter. • In order to Over-
, come this difficulty the late govern-
ment devised the scherite of dividing
the larger Counties into ' two regis-
tration' districts and appointing a
second registrar. This plan, no
'doubt, had the desired effect of )
diminishing the revenue of the
• official who was dverpaid, lint it !Idl-

Mr. Lewis did go to South Grey,

reject the testimony of several ye
and ear witnesses. The next ques-
tion is, how. did Lewis come to `go

He "asked Oliver's advice upon

recalls what Wens had told him o

would be the best man to send, up
especially as he had expressed a de
ire to go. He did not know wher
to find Lewis, and therefore tele
graphed to Oliver, at Ingersoll, to

societies. The Ottawa Valley tioloniza.-
tion Society- had been referred to,

was to get out a certain number of
families and settle them. They were ie

M. BLAKE'S PA -PLANATION%
On receiving the report of the Coto.-
inittee of Supply in the Legislature on
Feiday evening last, and when the vote e
for $80,000 for immigration came up,
Mr. Blake made the following explan- .1)
ations regarding the policy which the "
at the very late period ae -which -this' art
rangement would beeome effective in
Englaael this year, that they would only -
be
able to make a be,gfitning. Still, they
had hope that it would do some good
this year, and that it would be More
I• effective afterwards. Of course, the
state of the labor market was uncertain
in the Old Wotld. If trad.e should turn
out to be very good, and there should be •
a sufficiency of employment in the old_
country, they all knew the -earne.st de-
sire the inhabitants of that country had '
to remain,..as long as they could keep
• body and soul together, and that plenti-
ful ha.rvests and 'good wages would,dim-
inish the chances of emigration as long as
• they lasted ; but a bad harvest or a
block in the labor market would drive
the surplus population frbra home, and
they hoped to attract a portion of theal
to these . shores, The Go vernrnent had
learued unofficially that a scheme of as-
sistance to immigrants was being pro-
jected by the Government of the Domin-
ion. Of course, it would be undesirable
that these schemes should clash in any
way, and therefore the Government were
obliged to reserve some power of ,modify -
mg the manner of applying that vote,
The items of printing and agencies had
ment proposed to have th
hitherto- been very lia.rge.eirTphreinttogveitruer-
this purpose done in England, and to
avail themselves of the services -of gentle-
men in that country, as lecturers who'
Tne
had taken much intgeet in this question,
had been in this country with very be-
nevolent Mtentione, and had made thcM-
selves acquainted with the -character d
the country and the wants of immigrants.
They would. thus Save much expense.
The lectures would be -d:elivered in the
country towns and places Where the agt
rieultural laborer and those interested in
his welfare might best be reached. They
believed also thato, considera.ble 2.1110111d
of good was to be obtained by applying
to the country press, and utilizing it at a
moderate expense on. behalf of the agii-
cultural laborer, whom the metropolitan
press did not reach. The Goverimaeut
could not give more details, as they had
nOt, since coining into office, had sulfide
rat time -tti go into all particulars. The
vote was an experiniental one in many
articulexsa but they hoped it would
urn out to be a successful experiment."
C-lovernment proposed to pursrte on this

initendeci expending the grant which they
asked tor. He said :
I" They proposed that assistance 3hould.
be given at the 'rate Of $6 per head, the
same allowance being given indifferently
to l individuals, bodies, or corporations
who fulfilled the condition :4 imposed.
Persons in respect of whom the money
was to be given should first be appi oved
by persons responsible to the Govern-
ment, either in London. or the shipping
ports; secondly, they should come to
this country ; and thirdly, they should
take up their residence here for three
mOnths. On these conditions a 'sum of
6'64)er standard adult, and a proportion-
ate sum for-ebildren should be payable
berf the Government. There were now in
the British Isles various emigrant socie-
.tieg founded upon the principle of pro-
moting the emigration of the industrial
classes. There. was one society which
had gone so far as to expend out of its
own fundst in three years, a sum of
Elti,000 sterling upon an arrangement by
which the emigrants, were to repay the
money by instalments but, as might be
'expected, the money 'did not go back.
.k gentleman came ont here to look for,
thFi money, but he did. not think he took
munh back with him. It had been'
suggested to the Government to give 1,

giv
the
er sum thau they were proposing to
e, and to collect it afterwards from
immigrant, but they thought it
would not do at all, and that the only
•'way' was to give a sum out-and-out.
They believed that the gift . of 36 each
woUld. have a very marke-d effect in at-
tracting to this country the right sort of
pert:nes. They did not want to attract
to the country persons who were abso-
lute paupers ; but those who mieht be
able to pay some part of their passage
