We -did intend this week to pro- duce a few facts and figures showing the superior adyantages which the Eastern Route of the proposed Lon- don, Huron and Bruce Railway, possesses over theCentral Ratite, but the question is discussed so ably and so fully in another column by Mr. John Leckie, Reeve of Grey, that we deem it unnecessary to make further comment on the matter at /the present time. Mr. Leckie's arguments are unanAerable, and we trust they *ill receive a careful and intelligent perusal from all who are interested in the successful carry- ing out and. completion of the scheme; in the inteiests of which the com- munication is written. We wituld especially direct the attention of the editor otthe London' Advertiser to this letter, and trust that he vtill carefully read it, and ponder over and inwardly digest the facts there- in contained. Not a 'dentlemen 1 tuitity °they expected ever to have of sh6wing._ their spleen, and the non- setisicaY statement in the above para- graph, is. the mode which they took. The granting of the bonuses rests with the people, and all that any 4de- putation could do was to promise to ase their influence to secure a cer- tain amount. This the deputation from the East did do, and the depu- tation from the Centre could do no more. The difference between the promises itf the two depatations is this, and we state it with all due deference to the "influential men" who composed the deputation from the Centre. The deputation from the East promised what can easily be got, viz., a sum sufficient to make up the required amount; while the deputation from the Cen- tre made a promise w,hich every one of them knew well could not be ful- filed. This is the difference, and to this point we desire to direct the attention of those who are so anxious that the central route should be .adopted, in order to save—as our Hullett correspondent has it—a por- tion of the London bons. , THE HURON EXPOSITOR. The organs of the' Deminion GOv- , eminent, great and small, are just now exceedingly busy in abusing and slandering' the Hon. Alexander Mackenzie, Opposition leader in the Dominion Petliament. According to their theory" he is not • a gentle- man; he is of -low. extraction, un.. educated and ill-mannered ; intact, he Pure Spite. • The London Advertiser, the organ of the anti -Great Western party in that city, in speaking of the propos- ed routPs .through. this County, of the London; Huron and Bruce Rail - way, gives vent to the following nonsensical and spiteful utterance: "We hope the London, Huron and Bruce tirectors ,will hold. out for the 'Central Route,. and that the Government bonus will be made contingent on its adoption." We do not know that we should quarrel with our contemporary for the views which it holds!. We aie only glad that it comes out ;as plain- ly as it does for the Central Route, as we consider its advocacy of that route the very best guarantee that it will not be adopted. The Adver- tiser strenuously opposed the leasing of the Port Stanley road to the Great Western, yet notwithstanding its opposition the lease has been effected. It also opposed transfer- ring the London, Huron and Bruce Charter to the same company, yet, strange to say,,the transfer has been made. It now opposes the Eastern route,—the shortest, the most easily constructed, and in every way the cheapest and best,—and in this in- staece we have little doubt but that its opposition will have the same' effect as it has had in the other cases which we have eited. For the sake of the credit of our contemporary we regret that it should voluntarily make its apiteful- • ness and ignorance so apparent. It "hopes that the Directors will hold out for the Central Route," but is unable to give a single reason for so hoping. It knows nothing of the benefits of either route, but it does know that many on the Eastern route used their best exertions to bring about the present prosperous and satisfactory conditan in which the scheme is, contrary to its wishes, and consequently, through spiteful- ness, it now Uses its influence to pre- • judice -the Ditectors against the Eastern ronte. lacks all the essential qualities of a statesmen and a party leader. If this be the case, why should our contemporaries mourn over the fact? If Mr. Mackenzie is a person such as they pictuie him, surely it will be all the better for them and their leaders. If he is as great a fool as they would. have us believe he is, why not pass him by with contempt, as he *ill certainly be linable to -do them or their party injury I The fact of the matter it, however, they are fully .aware that their own masters have sinned most grievous- ly. They are equally aware of Mr. Mackenzie's ability and. 'determina- tion to lay bare and expose to the world the misdeeds of his political opponents and their friends, and they hope that by maligning him. now, the blow which he -vtill shortly deal will fall less heavgy upon those against whOm it may $e aimed. If Mr. Mackenzie is such a vulgar, low -bred ." ignoramus" as they are • laboring to make their readers be- lieve he is, they would scorn to honor him with their notice. But they know his power' and fear that the eXposures whichbe is able to • make will tell terribly against -„themselves and their leaders, in the • House and in the country. This accounts for the' low estee a ifo. -whicii they prpfess to hold The Big Offer. In the reportof the Provisional Directors of the'Lcinclon, Huron and Bruce Railway Company, as read by their Secretary at the meeting 'of shareholderheld last week, we no- tice the following paragraph: " This agreement has been approved along the whole line of country interesu- ed, and since it was Made, the munici- palities interested in the Central Route have, through a large deputation of ?most influential men, guaranteed bonuses from • these municipalities to the amount of $100,000 in addition to the amount al- ready secured; a depute on from. the Eastern Route have also proinised to • secure sufficient bonuses fron thatroute.', The above clause of tl4e report has -evidently been framed ith the ex- press object of misleading the per- manent Directors :and . prejudicing them against the Eastern route. The framers of the repeat knew well. that no deputation, let it be ever so large, or composed of ever so influen- tial men, could guarantee any amount on behalf of any muoicipality. For inStance, how absuri is it to say that Mr. Scat, of Brucefield, could goer- antee a bonne on behalf of the town- ship of Tuckersmith, or that Mr. -Patrick Kelly, of Blyth, could gfiar- antde a bonus on behalf of the townahip of Morris. The thing is ridiculous, and those who were in- struraental,in putting the statement in the mouth . of their Secretary, knew that it was absurd, but they happened to cherish a' little ill -feel- ing against a few individuals on the. Eastern route, Who lave ever been the best friends of their enterprise, • and they embraced the last oppor- . would undertake the task which -Mr. Budges is trying to perform with the Grand Trunk." The Tories of Si?uth Perth. Great has • been "'Lthe rejoicing among the Tories of South Perth, and.indeed. of the Whole Province, at the temporary division which now seems to exist in the Reform party of that constitueney. The Tory' press, from one end of the Piovince to the other, have heralded forth the nomination of Mr. Boyd by the Re- form Convention, and been most profuse in predictions of• a glorious Tory victory, and anignorninious Re- form defeat. We would, however, beg our too sanguine friends in South Perth to keep cool, to devote their attention to Eating their own house in order, and to use all the surplus energy at their control in endeavoring to quiet the disturbed feelings and check the troublesome ambition of certain prominent mem- bers of their own party. We , learn upon good authority that the Conservative party of South Perth are rapidly drifting upon the same rockyahoal which for the time threatened the wreck of the Reform party. It seems that the feeling of jealousy against Stratford does net exist in the breasts of the St. Marys Reformers only, but that the mem- bers of the Conservative party are equally tainted with the malady. In. short, the Tory camp of South •Perth is just now sorely convulsed with internal strifes, which, if not speedily overcome, will burst forth into open rebellion. The St. Mary's wing of the party is determined not to support any candidate who does not reside within the limits of that town, and as there are several as- pirants hailing from other parts of the Riding who are anxious for the honor of bearing the Conservative standard, there are but dim pros- pects of a peaceful settlement. A bold strike, we understand, is about to be 'made. The leaders of the party outside of St. Marys are de- termined to "make a spoon or spoil a horn." The plan decided upon is to induce Mr. James Trow to run as an "independent. candidata!' with the understa,n.ding, of course, that, should he be elected, the " indepen- dence " garle will soon be laid off. By this means, they hope to snare a sufficient number of Reform votes to counterbalance the loss caused by the defection of the St. Marys wing of the party. Should the first part of this programme be successful, viz., the securing of Mr. Trow, we very much fear that the born will be spoiled, and that the spoon conseqently, never be made. In the first place, we believe that Mr. Trow has more respect for himself than to meanly turn his back upon his old friends, to -whom he owes the posi- tion which he now holds in the county, and lend himself as a tool to advance the -interests of those who have malignedand villifiedlina for years. In the second place, even • should Mr. Trow be sufficiently de- graded and mean-spirited,—which we know he is not—to desert his old friends, there is not a Reformer in the constituency so verdant as to be led astray by Iso shallow a dodge. In all kindnees, then, we would earnestly advise our Conservative neighbors in South Perth, to devote more attention to their own affairs and less to the affairs of their oppon- ens. If they itake this well meant advice, they will, perhaps, succeed in securing a candidate from their own ranks who may, at least, make a riespectable appearance at th.e next election, and eave themselves from being compelled to support and, eulogize a man whom they had foimerly abused and libelled. The Grand Trunk Railway. Notwithstanding the volumes of abuse which have appeared, within • the last year or two, in certain of •the newspapers of this Province, against the management of the Grand Trunk Railway, we are gra- tified in believing that that abuse • was entirely uncalled-for and un- founded, and that instead of creat- ing a prejudice in the public mind against that great institution, the contrary has been the result. • We • have freqaently stated it to be our belief that the Grand Trunk was as well managed as any other rail- way. institution • similarly circum- stanced, on the continent of Ameri- ca. The following testimony from the principal proprietor of one of the most extensive manufacturing establishments in Ontario, confirms the view we have expressed. Mr. F. W. Glen, President of the Joseph Hall Agricultural Works, Oshawa, writes to one of the Toronto papers Governinent. If so, surely the grounds upon which that delay was asked should be submitted to Parlia- ment But their is not a word about it in. any of the papers'and Sir John positively refused to bring down the despatch from the Coloni- al Secretary asking for the delay. Then there are soine other points' in the papers dial tequire explana- tion. Mr. Langevin stated publicly at Quebec, shortly after the Treaty was published, that the Govern- ment had protested against it to the Imperial Government. Now, the first document laid on the table in which our Government raise objec- tions to the Treaty, is dated as late as the 28th July—over two months after the Treaty was published. In it they go very ,fully into the whole question, using precisely the same arguments and in. some cases the very expressions employed by Mr. Mackenzie and Mr. 131ake in their speeches before the country Iasi summer. Now, the question is, was this the first protest against the Treaty 1 If it was not, then why repeat, it? If our Government had previously fully - protested against the Treaty as a sacrifice of Canadian interests, why go over all the argu- ments in a subsequent despatch? The inference is obvious. The Gov- ernment neverreally objected to the Treaty till they saw the 'storm of indignation it aroused throughout the country. Then they made a • show of opposition in order that they might appear before Parlia- ment as the champion of Canadian rights as against the rapacious de- mands of the Imperial authorities. These points will no doubt be fully discussed when the measures for carrying the Treaty into operation are under consideration. as follows': •t " I have lately returned from a two weeks' trip in the States, and while there gave considerable attention to the Man- agement of the different railways Over which I traveled. We were three times behind time on :the New York Central, at one time nearly five hours ; twice late on the Pennsylvania, Central, and once late on the branch of the Baltimore and Ohio running into Washington. The conductor of the Pullnian cer upon which I came to Hamilton, told me that the best bime he had made this winter run- ning into Chicago,, was thirty minutes lite. -Taking into- consideration that these roads are under the centrol of the beat 'railway managers, perhaps, in the world, have immense wealth and unlimi- ted credit, some of them double tracks, and an abundance of rolling stock, is it surntising that the Grand Truels, with a single track, laboring under great finan- cial -embarrassment, with an extremely trying climate and an impeofitabletibusi- nese, 'shotild sometimes be behind time mn therrunning of its express trains!? I doubt whether Mr. Vanderbilt. ,the President of the New York Central or Mr. Scott, the Presideet of the PerussYl- vania Central, no 'doubt two of the great* railway managers in the world, There is another phase of this Treaty measure thet must not be overlooked. The course taken by the Government has strengthened the hands of those who seek to sever our connection with the Mother Country.' There can be no doubt of this. I do not say that they. sought that result, but, utterly regard- less of that result, they could not have adopted a course more calculated to bring it about What is theia argu- ment in favor of the Treaty Not that it is in the iaterests of Canada. On the contraiy, they picture it as everything bad for Canada. But then the Imperial Government re- quire its acceptance. It is a part of Imperial policy which must be accepted by us if we want to remain a part of the Empire. Then Mr. Howe's speech before the Ottawa Young Men's Christian. Association must not be overlooked in this con- nection. He also • condemned the Treaty, spoke of it'as a" Comedy of Errors," and characterized it as an attempt on the part of England to purchase her own peace at the sacrifice of our interests. And then he went on to darkly hint at a separ- ation, as the only alternative. if the Treaty were not accepted. What does all this man? In plain lan- guage the Government tell us, "Ac- cept the Treaty or prepare to cot your eonnection with the Mother Country.". ,,The Treaty is the penal- ty we must pay for remaining part • of the British Empire. I What is the natural result of this mode of deal- ing with the question? People will begin to ask themselves, why maintain a connection which in- volves such heavy eacrifices '1need hardly say how unjust all this is to the Imperial authorities. In the first place, they allowed the Canadian Government and the Ca- nadian people to be represented on the Joint High Cominission by the Premier of the country. It is true the apologists of Sir John say he did not represent Canada at all, but was merely an Imperial Commissioner bound to do the bidding of his masters. But Earl Kimberley, speak- ing for the entire British Cabinet, thinks otherwise. He says in one of his despatches that it must have been a source of satisfaction with Canadian people to know that they were represented" at Washington by their own. Premier. And even our Government admit the same fact in a most conclusive way. That is, they paid Sir John Macdonald's expenses to Washington, and the amount appears in the public ac- counts, thus- dearly showing that he was a Canadian not an Imperial Commissiener. The Imperial Gov- ernment therefore provided that nothing thould appear in the Treaty without the assent of the head of the Canadian Government. He gave that assent, and for more /than two months afterwards made ito remon- strance. Were not the Imperial Government amply justified then in supposing that they had sufficiently guarded Canadian interests. But • that was not all. They distinctly stated on every • suitable occasion, that the Canadian Parliament -would be perfectly free to pass upon. tho Treaty as they pleased, If the - Treaty was such a bad thing as Government since made it out to bo, d pray why did they not iecommen Pliiiament to reject it ? But no, that would not suit their purposes. - Better to have the handling of tvelve millions and a halflump from London to Kippen in either i, though by accepting that arrangnment, they have done the thing most calculated to ci sate dissatisfaction. with the Mother Country, The time of the House so tar has been ocaupied almost eatirely in pasting motions for papers on vari- ous subjects, and in putting quest tions to the Government on matters of public policy. All this is a necessary preparation for the fight that is coming. It was announced by Sir John in answer to a question by Mr. Mackenzie that SA Hugh Allan had made an informal offer to build the Pacific Railway. Sir John had requested him to send in the offer in an. official form address- ed to the Secretary of State, and be said it might be. expected any day, Sir Ilugh'has been in Ottawa since the opening of the session. and is frequently seen in the lobbies, from all of which we may infer that he has some project on foot. Sir John, in answer to another question, stated that fifty govern- ment surveyors would be at work in the North-West thia summer, and that before the session was evet the whole of Manitoba and one/hundred townships outside of it would be surveyed. The Government have abandoned their project of a Supreme Court, at least forjhis session. judge John- son's appointment as Lieutenant - Governor is only to be temporary. It is believed 'here that when the session is over, Mr. Morris will be sent up, and that O'Connor, of Essex, will get his place in the Cabinet. The latter appointment would be made with the view of pleasing the Catholics, though he can hardly be said to be a leader in any sense among that body. Apart from the measures neces- sary to carry the Treaty into opera- tion, the great Government measure of the session will be for the enlarge- ment and extension. of our canals, ,and the 'Construction of the Pacific Railway. From. the Opposition side some useful measures will be offered, though with little hope of success. A.mong these are a Bill to provide for holding electiona on one and the same day ; a Bill to secure the in- dependence of the Senate, and a Bill abolishing Dual Representation. The session is likely to be a very lively on, and though the bill of fare is by no means large, it does not follow that ..the session will be short. -a PONTIAC. FRO1V1 OTTAWA. OTTAWA, April 20, 1872. It is now apparent Why nothing more .was said tn the Governor -Gen- eral's Speech in opening Baffle- ment, about the Washington Treaty. At that time the Government had' not decided what course to take with regard to it, and of course could only refer to it in the most vague indefinite manner. It was not un- til the 15th inst.—four days after the meeting of Parliament—that the Government finally agreed to the bargain with the Imperial Govern- ment, whereby they pledge them- selves to do their best to carry the treaty through.

The merits of the treaty have, of course, not yet come up for discussion, but the papers brought down fully dis- close the policy of the Government. These papers are manifestly incom- plete, or' if not, there is a naanifest inconsistency between them and utterance of Ministers, F,or instar there is nothing said in them ab the delay in calling Parliamerk gether. That delay, we were told, v4as made at the instance of the Imperial he ut ,6 - case, we will start with Tuckersinith. That township, we may reasonably,as- some, would give a bonus in either case, but the larger sum by the eastern route, as they already rejected. a By-law for the narrow gauge on the ground that it was not to -stipport the construction of the line on the eastern route ; then the vil; lage of Seaforth would, no doubt, give bonus �f of at least double that voted by Clinton already; viz., $10,000 ; MAU,, lop would also give a large bonus, while Hullett has voted. the paltry sum of $15.000 ; a sectional bonus of a small amount would also be given by Grey and. Morris, or if not by the townnhips, then by the villages of Walton and Ain- leyville--while on the central route a sectional bonus only, could be earned Morris, East Wawanoslehaving already voted the very modest sum of $18,000. I might further allude to the question of bonus, but the proper time has not yet come to do so, and therefore I do not in- tend. to give any opinion as to the aggre- gate amount that could be received on either route, but of this I am certain, that there will be no trouble intibtainmg the sum per mile that the company re- quires on the eastern. route—while with all the heavy omits, I am of the opin- ion that it will be very troublesome to obtain that aracamt on the central route. There is, again, the question of • ells - twice, whielt is probably the most vital in a financial -point of view. In. the first instance, there must be a saving in. the Eastern route of at least seven miles, if the estimate of the former Engineer of the London, Huron and Bruce Company is correct, and this alone at the estimated cost per mile of such railways as the Great Western build, including rolling stock, would_ amoutit to something like $150,000 Then there is the difference in the cost of construction, which accord- ing to Mrtyas'comparative statement, in the Spring of 1871, was $280 per mile in favor of the Eastern. route, and this for a cheap arrow gauge road. We may, therefor4t, reasonably assume that the difference in the present cage would. not be less than $300 per mile —a Baying betweettliippen and Ainleyvkle of $6,- 600, a tdtal saving in cost of construc- tion and distance of $156,600—no trifling sum. in the building of a short line of railway. If the promoters of the scheme, and. -the business men of London, looking at all the features of the case, do not see it te their interesta to adopt the Eastern route, they exhibit less shrewdness than I would give them credit for. I believe some of the early promoters of the scheme feel prejudiced. against this point, and. myself in particular, on ac- count Of what they cotsider was using theni badly, in WithtiraWing OUT support . from their road. last summer, and taking hold. of another scheme, but if they wifl recall to memory the requests they mede, the position myself and others took as to their ability to push on their enterprize at that time, and view it in the light of events of the present day, they will, I think, have to acknowledge that I was right, and that they were wrong, and their city papers, if they looked at the facts as they have developed themselves within the last six or eight months as re- gards their own enterprize, would 'cease to waste their time in venting empty spleen and low epithets on mybead. I have no hard feelings toward a single individual comiected with the enterprize. We met and. fought some hard. battles in the campaign last year, but in public matters of this kind 1 think it shows a weakness in met to hold and foster spite against each other, because they happen to differ in opinions. t1 have already trespassed on your space too largely, or I might go into my reasons for what some of the people of London are pleased. to• term my treachery, but as it would neither be in- teresting to you nor your readers. I shall not do -at except I am attacked again. Meantime, I am ever yours, • OIDT LECKIE. Ainieyviie, April 22nd, 1872. THE RIVAL ROUTES. London, Hurcin and Bruce Rail- way. To the Editor of the Huron Expositor. DEAR SIR,—As the London, Huron and. Bruce Railway is again on the tapis, on a different basis, and. as there is no doubt of its 'being built at an early day by the -Great Western, a few ideas as to the route may not be out of place at the present juncture. In the first place, I em much astonished at. the position thet, I am informed,. the people of Lon - doll take in the matter. If they look on line of railway running to the north as commercial necessity_for 'their city, it naturally follows that a connnunity who acted judiciously in. such a case, would wish to place such railway in a position where it could. command, the m receive the most bonus support the least.- for construction. st trade, and cost t seems, however, the people of London, or a part of them, throught some misapprehension of the position, or *some petty Prejudice, (atiich will neither build nor give trade to the railway) propose building, their road. where they will command theleast trade, receive the least bonus support Per mile, and cost a very much large sum to build. I do not think it wll take a great. deal of argument to prov that the . eastern route is the best in everiy way for the city of London, and first let us re- view the question of trade I3y adopt- ing the 'Seaforth route, they pllace them- selves in a position to comp te for the carrying trade to their city. frm the ob- jective point, (say Kippen,) to Ia point .of intersection with theiWellingt n road at Airdeyville, of at least three lownships, that they cannot possibly tou4h or co - pete for in any way by adopt' g the c n- tral route, to Clinton, while they 1 se nothing on the west: It is a ell knovi fact, that it is impossible to 'draw the general surplus produce of t e country westward. for any great dis ance, but that it naturally finds its ay to the east. Now the Grand Trun has to be grossed either at Seaforth or Oi ten, and the Wellington road_ intersect d either at Ainleyville cfr Wingham, and. it will be impossible to draw any general produce to the westward, even' to the whole width of one township (say eight mules) between those two lines of railway run- ning eastward, while by the eastern route, they stand. their chances of com- peting for all the trade at the present time coming • into, or going from the Grand Trunk, between Godeiich and Seaforth, and. as far east of that point as the local trade extends. Then again, at • MARRIAi3ES. WILLis—PAmRsoN.—In Clinton, on Tuesday, the 16th inst,, Mr. John. Willis, of I.Tsborne, to Miss Maggie Patterson, of Ilay. Ainleyville, they stand. an e of competing for all that trad or going from. the Wellington Bruce between that point -and. uarchance coming to Grey and. mcardme. Or in other words, by the central or Clin- ton route, they can only expect to come pete for a share of the padewhich nat- urally finds its way at present, to the Gravel Road running 'from. Clinton to Teeswater, and westward to. the lake, while by the Seaforth or eastern route, they lose none of the foregoing, but also compete for all that trade which at pres- ent finds its way to the *hole line of the Grayel Road. running from Seaforth to Wroxeter, besides 4,appiaag at Walton and Ainleyville the lumber districts of Grey, Elnia, Logan and McKillop, where there are now in the mill yarda, ef 'this season's production alone, logs sufficient to produce 15,000,000 feet of sawn lum- ber, and for which London and vicinity is a good market.
