'Opposition hold undisputed posses-
sion of the third The Government
tactics ate shrewd. Under the old
'division, we could elect two Refor-
mers, if now we elect but two and
-the Conservatives one, the one Con-
servative will be a set-off against
one of the Liberal representatives,
.and the County will have but one
representative of its political views,
whereas, by the old arrangement it
had two. It is to be hoped that the
Ministerial designs may oe frustrat-
ed by the election of reliable Oppo-
sitionists from all three constit-
uencies.
How t e County Should Have
Been Divided.
The e tra,ordinary division of the
County f Huron for electoral pur-
poses is xcitieg a considerable cite
gree of ttention in all parts of the
country. Certainly, there are many
acts of t e Government more repre-
hensible than this, and many which
will be 4lowed by results more det-
rimenta to the haterests of the coun-
try at 1a1ige and more prejudicial to
the righs of private citizens, but, in
the whole 'catalogue of wrong -doing
whiclr 4n be charged against them,
there is no one act so utterly inde-
fensible ,ind BO manifestly unjust.
,The case 18 too clear for argument,
a glance at the Centre Riding as
shown on the map is enough to
demonstrate the outrageous nature
of the measure. We hope that Mr.
Rymal Iwill persevere in his ex-
pressed intention of circulating du-
ring th present campairen. large
•'limbers of his diagram of this re-
• markable constituency. A more ef-
fective electioneering document
could la be produced.. The Gov-
ernmen organs and orators are very
clever explanations and apologies,

directio —but we are at a loss to

an outr ge of fair -play and justice as
this. he only extenuating plea
that ha yet been put forward in fa-
vor of ir John Macdonald's divi-
•sion is tlhat the constituencies have
an equajiity of population. This we
cheerft4ly grant, but it would be a
somewEtat difficult matter to divide

County by three in such a manner

Execution of Phcebe Campbell.
Phcebe Campbell was hanged at
London, at eight o'clock yeaterday
morning. It, is said that she has
made another written confession,
which is in import similar to the
former one, and which she desired to
be published after her death. During
the last two or three days of her
life she seemed to be perfectly hap-
py, and said she considered it a great
privilege to expiate her crime in ac-
cordance with the ,sentence She

ed anxious to meet her doom. On
Tuesday she lead a farewell inter-

demaflC1el a committee of inquiry,
but vhen, to his surprise, it was
granted, he positively declined to
produce his evidence, knowing that
the whole of it consisted of that
little bit of paper obtained in that
despicable way. The organs, how-
ever, kept up the slander,- but Mr.
Blake paid no n.otme to it whatever.
Mr. Tom Ferguson, following the
example of his leader, Sir John
• Macdonald, took occasion recently
to repeat the slander in the
Commons, which called forth from
the impetuous Mr. -Wood an
"aside" in the words—"That's a

lent .�m threatened to slap Mr.
Wooc 's face. All this was a little
by-pl4y which was only,heard by a
few sitting near the actors thereof.
But Mr. Ferguson considered him-
self injured, and in the absence of
Mr. Wood on Wednesday, brought
the matter up again, and produced
as conclusive proof of his charge,

On Monda.y the Representation

m
Workan, of Montreal °entre, op-
posed the proposal 'of the Govern-
ment to add Griffintown to that con-
stituency, on the ground that such.
an addition to the commercial section
of the'eity would deprive the mer-
• chantst of the hope of electing one
member for the city, specially to re-
present their ,interests. It was also
stated that the proposed change
- would give the Catholics a large pre-
ponderance of votes in this the only
Protesta,nt division of the city, but
the -change vasa pet plan of the
'Minister of Militia, and it was of
course' carried out.
• The next business was an address
tb His Excellency the Governor-
General, moved by the Premier and
seconded by the leader of the Oppo-
sition. The address expressed re-
gret at -the departure of His Excel-
lency before the usual time. had ex-
pired. It spoke of the _impartial

• A discriminating duty of ten per

the United States, was ag,reed to on

admitted that the policy was of it-
self •unsound, but said they were
obliaed to follow in. the footsteps of
the 'PUnited States in these matters.
Mr. Holton and Mr. Mackenzie
protested against against this small
piece of retaliatory. legislation, but
to no purpose.• .
The eupplies,have been hurriedly
voted. The Government barely con-
descend to explain the various items;
as to defence of them, that was
seldom attempted, and Mmisteria-
lists were quite ready to vote down
in silence any proposition that came
m
frothe Opposition side. Mr. Mac-
kenzie tried in vain to elicit some
explanation of the policy underlying.

which .Mre•Mackenzie vainly strove
to correct Twee, the large sums' of
money paid to the Dominion arbi-
trators, though the return t showed
that within the last two years they
were not called upon to arbitrate
upon a single case. • When the De-
partment of Public Works cannot
Agree with .a contractor,: they .call in
their own officers to decide the point,
knowing that the arbitrators have
no professional knowledge of the sub-
jects under dispute, and therefore
incompetent to form a correct judg-
ment. Each of these aibitratois,
however, draws $1,000 a year from
the Public Treasury, though they do
absolutely nothing for it. They do
SOnle Eel vice, however, to their em-
ployers in a political sense and so
their salaries were allowed to run on.
The last of the mean and petty
Landers against the leaders of the
-Opposition, whichhave aa.racterized
this session, was brought up on Wed-
nesday.by "Sore Tee" Tone Fergu-
son. As .the Government organs
have been making a great ado about
thie affair ever since Blake came in-
to power in Ontario, let nee detail
the facts of the case briefly as they
have been brought to light. In the

tion of Mr. Wood, _Mr. Ferguson
found some scraps of paper under

carefully pasted the pieces ,together

The town of Warrington, Lanca-

ben made of the County, and said
that our opponents predicted We

end first.
It was then moved by Mr. Par-
sons, of Stephen, and seconded by
Mr. D. Walker, of Usborne, That
Mr. M. C. Cameron be the Reform
candidate for the South Ridinkof
Huron at the coming election. This
motion was carried unanimously.
Mr. Cameron, on coming forward,
thanked the Convention for the
honor done him by tendering him
the unanimous nomination of the
Convention, and in the course of his
remarks stated that he had decided
not to be a candidate • at the ap—
proaching election, but in _the in-
terests of the party he would not
now say that he would not, but he
would not accept the nomination at
present', but desired a week for con-
sideration.
• After Mr, Cameron's consent to
accept the nomination was received,
it was deemed necessary to organize
an association for the South Riding.
This was done by unanimously ap-
pointing Mr. Robert Brown, Reeve
of Hay, Pi esident, and Mr. Mc-
Donald, of Exeter, Secretary. - This
closed the business of the Conven-
tion.
After short addresses from Messrs.
Wanlaas of Stanley, Parsons of
Stephen, Hall of Goderich Town-

all urging 'upon Mr.- Cameron the
necessity of his at once accepting the
nomination and the danger of delay,
he at last consented to accept the
nomination.
— At this late hour, just before
going to press, we have no time to
make any lengthened remarks upon
the proceedings of the Convention.
We would, however, urge upon our
Reform friends in the South,
the necessity of immediate and
determined exertion. The candi-
date has now been chosen, and
all should unite heartily and earnst-
ly to secure his election. If the
leeformers go to woik, with a will,
there is not the slightest doubt of
Mr. Bishop's prediction being veri-
fied. But to accomplish this object
will require work, unceasing work.

The Great Jubilee.
The great jubilee musical festival
at Boston opened on Monday, and
so far has been a great success. All
the expected musical accessions ar-
rived, and people from all parts of
the United States and British Prov-
inces have gathered to be present at
the unprecedented entertainment
The International Peace Meeting,
preliceinaey to the Musical Festival,
was held at the Music Hall Sunday
night, and an immense audienee was
addressed by Rev. J. 13. Miles,
President of the Bunker Hill Asso-
ciation, Hon.' E. S. Tobey, Eiilnr
Burritt and Hon. George B. Loring..
• Significance was given to the fact
• that the occasion was the anniver-
sary of the battle of Bunker- Hill,
and allusions -were made to the
Peace Jubilee. Mr. Loring tQl2e-
eluded his spirited address by ref-
erence to the arbitration pending at
Geneva, and expressed confidence in
the result of the approaching Con-
ference. He was followed by Rev.
• Dr. Barns, of London, who .was
greeted -with enthusiasm, and. who
assured the American people that
not in this generation eould war oc-
cur between the two nations. The
various addresses were interspersed
by appropriate music by the Handel
and Haydn Society, and by the
congregational singers, led by Prof.
Tourjee. One of the grandest events
of the Jubilee -will be the grand in-
ternational Jubilee ball at the Cele
ieeum, Wednesday evening, June
26. It will be under the direction
of Col. Wm. V. Hutchings and a,
corps of thirty marshals and two
hundred floor manaeers. Johann
Straus (who has not -heard a the
Strauss waltzes?) will Jead the or-
chestra. Everything -will be pre-
pared on a grand scale for thieball
at which all Boston, and much of
everywhere else will, clamor for ad-
mittance.

left hand side. The men are smart,
soldierly, and well -up. The 24th,

from Kent receive twenty-five cents
in addition to their regular pay,
generously granted by the County

the gunboat Prince Alfred, from
Goderich, with 330 officers and men
under command of Lieut. -Col. Ross,
arrived Tuesday. The work of
organization proceeds slowly, but

The Organ 1. the Church.
The agitation for the introduction
of instrumental music in the Pres-
byterian Churches has apparently
come to an end, tend has resulted in
favor of the friends of the mgam
At the General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church, held last week
in Hamilton, the following motion
was carried by a large majority
" The General Assembly declines to
enact any law on the subject of the
use of instrumental music in the
worship of God, but judges that the
matter is not one in which uniform-
ity of usage should be longer ex-
acted in this church, especially in
view- of the general expression of
the church's mind itt favor of ex-
tending liberty to congregations
therein ; nevertheless, itt agreeing to
this deliverance, the General Assem-
bly deems it seasonable to enjoin
due regard to the simplicity of wor-
ship and the peaoe ot -congregations
in connection with any changes
which may be introduced." Rev.

, The Persia Famine.
The facaine in Persia, which now
seems to be drawing near its dose,
has been poductive of an amount
of misery almost unparalleled in e
modern times. Captain Pierson, an
Englishman, who has recently travel-
• ed in that unhappy country, de..scri'eee
the last stage of the famine as w9r8e
than the first. On his journey from
lehiraz to Teheran, he found the
road strewn with half -eaten corpses;
cannibalism was t-exy prevalent, an• d
starvation had aroused the usually
peaceable inhabitants to despair, and
brigandage and other crimes of Ni.0-
• lence were rife all along the roads,
In the capital alone, out of a popu-
lation of eighty thousand, at least
• twenty thousand had fallen victims
• to the famine and its attendant dis-
eases.
